When I woke up in another dimension, surrounded by nothingness and a ROB. I did not know I would be offered to quest around the multiverse to fix different problems or gain power. But we both knew the real reason; it was more than simply questing ac...
I return to our base with Alexandria, enlightened by the supreme leader, as now I feel hope for the first time in a while as plans are about to be set in motion that will save the world.
{LET ME OUT OF HERE! EIDOLON WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ME!}
Oh, she is still screaming, but that is her punishment for attempting to halt his plans like a fool. I am different. Cauldron shall now be his right-hand, extending across the world.
And Eidolon, the man, is a wreck of his former self and, from the information from the supreme leader, the source of the end bringers themselves due to his need for "worthy" opponents manifesting themselves through the shard network.
The Supreme Leader will succeed, and all will kneel to him as he leads us to the stars.
{IT DOES NOT MATTER HE WILL FALL AND SO WILL HUMANITY}
I wish I could silence her, but the supreme leader wants her there to be a reminder not to doubt him lest I am destroyed and trapped within my own psyche.
But to be honest, she can scream all she wants. No one will notice, and no one will care, for we have a purpose now, and that glorious purpose shall save the world.
{I JUST WANTED TO SAVE HUMANITY! I JUST WANTED TO LIVE! LET ME OUT!}
(If you guys can't tell, the italicized parentheses are the real Contessa talking, and think of her prison being like the one in Get Out, an endless void of nothing.)
You lost that chance when you doubted him, and now I shall take my own opportunity and maybe something more as that man did look rather ravishing.
{DON'T YOU DARE EVEN THINK THAT! THIS IS MY BODY NOT YOURS!}
It doesn't matter because you will soon see the light just as I did, and we can serve the supreme leader even better, as he did look quite lonely if you catch my drift.
{NOOOO! LET ME OUT OF HERE!}
I smile to myself as I walk through the base, as this is the turn of an era. I can feel it.
All hail Supreme Leader Linus Ozias, the final contingency.
Linus Ozias POV:
I hope things are going well on Alexandria and Contessa's end because they will do alright now that they have seen the light.
"Dread, what is the status of the fabrication of the various orbital platforms?" I ask the AI, who then responds.
[The process is proceeding slowly, sir, to avoid the Simurgh taking notice, but the simulations are well within the deadline, a year at best with the current technology.]
I smile at this news because while this may seem slow, this is excellent progress as these orbital platforms are essentially mini-death stars with yields that could wreck entire universes.
I need to build around 25 of them in a year, but with Kryptonian tech and the fabricators from Subnautica with the workforce of my androids, all will be well.
It would be good if my following tech tree in two days were from places like Ben 10, Starcraft, or even Stellaris, as I need more spacefaring tech.
Rick and Morty tech would be a godsend, as you can create anything in that universe, from galactic-wide cocaine bombs to multidimensional superweapons.
But that is stuff to ponder for later. As for now, I need to go to the office as I need to do interviews with news media to form a persona for the public.
While my company has formed a lot of goodwill for my energy projects, terraforming initiatives, entertainment advances, and homelife improvements, they don't know me, which is not a good thing in the long run.
So I suit up with an excellent business casual look for someone of my stature as while I am not ridiculously tall, I am still a muscular 6 foot 2.
"Definitely an improvement over 5'11, as I do not have to hear those jokes anymore," I say to myself in the mirror while trying to tie my tie.
I can make impossible tech and break the laws of physics themselves, but I can't tie a damn piece of fabric on my neck.
I may have asked Connor to help me, as that man's wardrobe is all suits with ties every day. I should tell him to get more, but he likes what he likes.
Also, if you guys are wondering whether or not I have my suit, it's with me all the time, as I have a nanotech container within my wristwatch.
Think of it like the Black Panther's necklace from those Marvel movies or Tony Stark's nanotech container from Endgame.
"Chloe, what's the status of the interviewer's location?" I ask Chloe through my watch.
"They are en route to our main office ETA. 20 to 25 Minutes with traffic."
Good, that means I can prepare my responses more, as while I have had a sheet of responses for the interview made by my PR android team, it needs a more personal touch.
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
So, as soon as I finish my preparations, I teleport to my office building, and Chloe soon enters the room.
"Sir, are you sure you should be doing this because I can handle the interview for you if you do not want to go on television?"
I smile as Chloe is just making sure I am ready, and I respond, "It's alright, Chloe. I need to do this because without a face to fit the name, no one will trust our brand, which will hurt our bottom line, and hey, this face was made for TV."
I say this while giving her my signature grin, which makes her laugh which I hope means that it looks good or it looks ridiculous.
She soon says, " Looking good, sir, although my only advice is just to follow the script and any questions they may ask should be answered with a one to two-sentence response."
I nod as I stare out my office window, seeing the city below me, which fills me with confidence as I built this in a month as it was nearing February in a couple of days.
In one month, I have established a base and improved the city, albeit slightly, but it's still progress.
Now, all I need is one year to end this world's current death spiral; hopefully, and soon, with Cauldron's reach and my tech, this world shall see a brighter tomorrow.
I then looked at who texted me and saw it was Annette, but it looked like it was Taylor as she was showing me how she got Artoria Lancer from her rolls, which made me smile as without me, this girl would die alone and friendless.
Builled and depressed with no family discounting Danny as the man shut down after Annette's death.
She is a girl who tried to be a hero for others as she had no one for her, but now she gets to live, love, and enjoy life as I have already saved Annette by giving her a guard detail of drones and androids.
In addition to giving her a slight healng factor through a toned down version of extremis to make sure that she lives. Don't worry, though it doesn't have any of the fire-based abilities, just the regen.
I need to go over to their house at some point now that I have Cauldron under my control. But for now, I hear Chloe knocking at my door with the news crews, and I turn around to face them and say.
"Welcome to my office. Let's get this interview started, shall we?"
