Supremacy Games

Chapter 1927  The First Contact.

While Empress Emily was retelling the story of her first meeting with Supreme Azzorus, it played in her mind in exact detail.

Millions of years ago, during the Dark Ages...

A massive cubical silver structure was seen orbiting a much bigger planet that was packed to the brim with highly advanced technological constructions, ranging from space stations, space elevators, defensive metallic nets, and more.

This was the Metal Race capital home planet, DataCore Sanctum.

The massive cubical structure was The Veil Piercer, the device Empress Emily and the majority of the metal race had invested their time and energy to build for the sake of finding the truth of their universe.

Right now, at the heart of this breathtaking maze of metal and machinery, Empress Emily was seen surrounded by a group of her finest engineers, and scientists.

They stood on a platform, suspended in the very core of the planetary-sized structure, staring in silence at a massive screen extended across the far wall.

There was a valid reason for their silence.

On the central display, two crimson eyes blazed intensely, something that exuded a sense of sentience, power, and perhaps even a hint of disdain.

Empress Emily remained still, her expression was as expressionless as ever. But, internally, an unfathomable amount of calculations were going on that could explain this development.

However, before she could reach a valid conclusion, a deep comforting voice resounded deeply in everyone's minds.

"Brother V'eldrax, excuse my little children for snooping on your territory, their curiosity has gotten the best of them."

The moment he finished, the two crimson eyes blinked once warningly and then disappeared, leaving behind a shattered screen.

He uttered nothing, but his attitude was clear that he wouldn't tolerate another 'peek' at his territory.

"Who's there? Show yourself."

Meanwhile, Empress Emily and the other Ais kept looking around them for the owner of the voice, but to no avail.

They couldn't even believe that their advanced technological anti-surveillance systems were easily bypassed.

"How fascinating, I didn't think one of my little children would come this far so soon..." As the same voice echoed in the central arena, it was now accompanied by a celestial holy figure.

The moment he manifested before everyone, he introduced himself with a faint smile on his featureless face, "Don't be too alarmed little one, I am Azzorus, but you can refer to me as Supreme."

'Foreign presence detected...Calculating consciousness level, calculating...The calculation failed.' Every single AI around Supreme Azzorus heard the same message ring in their minds, making them feel a sense of dread arise.

Unlike other lifeforms, the Metal Race feared and dreaded only one thing, the Unknown.

Thus, for a race known to possess the strongest consciousness in the universe to fail their calculations, meant that Supreme Azzorus' consciousness prowess was on a different plane of understanding.

"Who are you?" Empress Emily asked with a solemn tone as she readied every weapon in the Viel Piercer in his direction.

Supreme Azzorus sensed the weapons, yet, his smile remained unchanged.

"I am the truth." With a single sentence, Empress Emily and the rest of her subordinates seemed to have their souls enlightened as a sea of information poured inside their minds like an endless waterfall.

They saw the birth of the universe, the creation of constellations, and how life was breathed into planets across all stellar systems, each race more unique than the latter.

All of this was done by a single entity, Supreme Azzorus.

Yet, what confounded them was the millions of scenes related to the Multiversal Plane, the endless games, and the grind for survival, leaving them doubting their minds...Something almost impossible for Ais to feel.

When the sea of information was over, Empress Emily and her subordinates gazed at Supreme Azzorus for a split second before taking a coordinated knee almost instantly.

"Greetings, Master."

It was like their entire system was reset to worship and listen to Supreme Azzorus' orders!

One would think that he forced them to react like this but in reality? Every one of them felt obliged to swear their allegiance under his banner...It was for a simple reason, he was their father, their ancestor, their universe, their everything!

"Haha, how cute, I am starting to understand why my peers are becoming more open to interacting with their children." Supreme Azzorus smiled warmly.

Seeing that he was still standing, Empress Emily immediately waved her head and crafted a throne of magnificent proportion, using the nanotech that powered the entire structure. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"Master, please take a seat." She requested respectfully while still keeping her head lowered.

After she had witnessed the events in the Multiversal Plane and what Supreme Azzorus went through to ensure the survival of the universe, her respect was born out of genuine reverence instead of fear.

Sure, she knew that Supreme Azzorus had to fight for his survival since he was the consciousness of the universe, which meant, he was primarily fighting for his life, still, it didn't change the fact that they were existing because of him.

"Ah, no need little one, I am not planning to stay for long." Supreme Azzorus smiled, "I just want you to avoid peering too much into the Multiversal Plane. If you catch the eyes of some unfriendly gentleman, it will create unnecessary annoyance to me."

This was probably the reason Supreme Azzorus decided to show himself and even give the Metal Race the truth they were seeking their entire lives.

All to make sure that they stay away from provoking the wrong entity with their eternal quest for answers.

What made Empress Emily admire him more was the fact he could easily erase them from existence and nub the problem in the bud without even making his presence known...Or, he could simply halt their attempts by making it impossible to peer past the veil of existence.

But, this would make them stray away from the truth, which was the same as giving them an eternal death sentence to search for the unsearchable.

In simpler terms, he was kind.

"We understand, we will disable the Viel Piercer right away." Empress Emily responded with a serious tone.

"Good."

Just as Supreme Azzorus nodded with an appreciative gentle smile and planned to leave them be, Empress Emily swiftly requested, "Master, is there any way we can assist you in your journey? Just permit us and we will do whatever it takes to help you win more games."

"Please master, after knowing about the truth, we simply can't go back to our old ways." Another Ai beseeched with a knee down.

The rest started bowing one by one as they requested the same thing. The Metal race was always motivated to find answers to any sort of question that popped into their mind.

At the moment, while Supreme Azzorus showed them the truth about their universe, he also opened up the door for a whole different ocean of mysteries.

The Metal Race simply could not function properly if they weren't working on finding answers for them.

Seeing their eager solemn looks, Supreme Azzorus couldn't help but chuckle to himself, 'I don't need anyone's help, but their cute eagerness is too much to turn down.'

As the universe's consciousness, anything that the metal race could do, he could do a thousand times better.

That's why, he never bothered to use any of the races he crafted in his universe. The only reason he breathed life into his body was to make it less cold...

"Why not?" Supreme Azzorus smiled kindly, "I do need someone to run errands once in a while and gather information."

The moment Empress Emily and the rest of Ai heard this, they didn't hesitate to proclaim out loud with a stern tone, "We won't let you down, Master."

"Don't worry too much about it, just do your best." Supreme Azzorus chuckled one last time before breaking into light particles.

After he left, silence prevailed in the central room.

They were not given any sort of instructions and since he didn't tell them to reach out to him, all they could do was stare at each other.

"Empress, your orders." Soon, everyone turned to their Empress, returning to their original hierarchy.

"We await." Empress Emily uttered calmly.

She understood that when Supreme Azzorus needed them, he would reach out on his own. For now, all they could do was wait patiently...
