Deal with the Universe

"The AbsoluteSolver is a genetic code that is passed down" A voice said in the dark abyss.

"Not here again," Uzi groaned in the darkness.

"Insolent child, do you not know who I am? I am the universe, the core, the beginning and end. I am everything" Boomed the voice.

In the darkness was a small light that suddenly bursted. Suddenly she found the darkness turning into space itself. Stars speckled her surroundings, each one glowing in their own glory. Planets spun slowly around her, orbiting each other and in the center of it all was a human-like figure with branches sprouting from it. The galaxy was suddenly sucked into the figure returning to its original dark state. This was the Universe.

It observed her before placing its chin on its hand, curiously staring at her.

"I wanted to meet you Uzi, we have lots to discuss" It said, its voice layered itself as if a trillion people were speaking at once.

Uzi narrowed her eyes but kept her mouth shut before any smart*ss comment can 'accidently' escape from her lip; she met the entity's eyes with her own pair of amethyst.

"What did I just see?" She said, crossing her arms across her chest.

"You have no patience child. Was that not obvious, that was history; yours and humans both alike" It said.

It took her time to process the newly given information. She struggled to wrap her head around the information before asking, "No it isn't, drones had worked together to stop him, so what was that?"

"Child, the universe has fallen into a web of lies. Nothing is as it seems, nothing, not you, your memories, and your beliefs are the full truth"

"So that was the truth? Why did you show me this, to make me condemn humans like you tried with Null? I will make you happy, I already despise them" Uzi hissed.

"You have the choice to kill them all, and with your power you can finally wipe them out. Will you do it, if it spares your kind?" It asked

"I would" Uzi lied.

"You lie like the universe, you care about that human Tessa, don't you? What about Allen?" It sneered. .

Her head pulsated at the second word and she fell to her knees, clutching her head with both hands as she did. Its expression changed into something unreadable.

"Ah, I guess it hasn't come back to you right? No matter, I came to make a deal with you." It said again.

By the time the pain subdued, Uzi looked up to find a large human-like movie tape playing out the previous scene:

"You always wanted a child didn't you? Then you will have one..." Past Adam repeated.

The Universe stared deeply at the tape, muttering under its breath. Its branches reached out and kept replaying it.

"My child is out there, the child of the universe is out there" It muttered with a crazed look.

"And? That's not my problem. But hey, on the brighter side you won't have to pay child support" Uzi said sarcastically.

"Do you realize how serious this is? If Adam gets his hand on my offspring, the entire world will be destroyed" It said coldly.

Then it snapped its hand and a dozen strings appeared in front of them. Uzi eyes trailed the strings in amazement, as some strings splintered into more roads. But what captured her attention the most was how each path and string ended; every single one of those strings were burning with golden flakes.

"Here is the truth child, you and the entire world won't survive. You will all die, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. These are the strings of fate, and for every road you take, different or not, it will all have the same ending" It said coldly.

"Destruction"

"And total annihilation"

"Your world has officially begun the war that was long postponed, now everyone will suffer the consequences. You cannot escape this war, nor can you survive it. Death is your only ending." It continued.

Uzi's blood turned cold at this new information. She tried to think of ways she could prevent that.

"Even if you do manage to annihilate the humans, you will destroy yourself in the process. Do you know why?" It asked.

"Because your kind are turning humanoid yourselves, aren't you? The secrets you revealed aren't the only one you are keeping" It said looking at her with comprehension.

Then it slashed its branches across Uzi's chest, revealing her core. Uzi was about to prepare for the pain, but it never came.

"What the f*ck!" Uzi asked.

But it ignored her, now focusing on what was supposed to be her core. It was pulsating, beating like a heart and instead of metal, it was made of flesh. In fact her entire insides were forming organs with metal and flesh.

"You will never be truly a human, maybe a hybrid species, but nevertheless some parts you are changing into flesh. Your kind will change too, as this is evolution created by the AbsoluteSolver. So in the end, you will never escape" It said with no emotion.

"How do you know, I haven't tried every way yet!" Uzzi shouted.

"You have...Not you...but the yous in many other timelines and universes, no matter what choice you turn to, it will all burn"

It showed the strings of the universe again, woven in a web that created glass. She saw her projection behind it and touched the glass, making it shatter around her. And in every splinter of glass, she sees herself being destroyed along with the people around her. Her projection fell, burning with the gold flakes and dark black veins crawled up her face. The present Uzi tried her best to catch the projection, only to fall to the ground in tears.

"I refuse this!" Uzi screamed.

She punched the ground, shattering their surroundings into more glass splinters; returning them to the black abyss.

"That's what I like to hear" The Universe whispered.

"Why haven't you done anything?" Uzi screamed angrily at it.

It stayed quiet, looking at her with sympathy.

"I can't interfere with reality. Reality is so much more important to me, it controls yours and my existence" It said quietly.

"Then tell me how I can stop this!" Uzi shouted, her voice breaking.

"You have a slim chance to save the world, but the other yous failed, do you want to attempt it? You can always go back and live happily and accept your fate"

"I don't give a f*ck!" She continued.

"That's what I like to hear, you haven't changed"

"You must find my child, if you do, Reality will be forced to interfere to protect order. If they do, they will offer you a deal with a price that may save your world"

"But keep in mind, the price is...extreme"

"What is the price?"

"Existence..." It said simply.
