Chapter 133 Omega And The Star Child

"So, you think that Orphus wouldn't be standing beside me? He cares nothing about what happens. Orphus is a joke Hero name he uses. Omega is the one that leads us all, and he would be the one standing at my side in this!" Pyke declared.

Everyone looked to Beltzer, who still held his defiant look, but it devolved into one of anger. Chains started to leak from his skin and wrapped around his body to completely cover him.

"You tell your friends stories, and I'll tell mine, but when it is us talking, don't call a chicken a duck. Omega or Orphus, it doesn't matter. He would understand what is going on and wouldn't even let any of you defy him," Beltzer growled as he prepared to fight, but suddenly, a wall of unbreakable crystal exploded inwards.

"That is true, but what fun would that be?" Omega, Leader of the AI, asked as he walked in casually.

The dust settled around the body the Hero had given him, brushing the dust off his shoulders as everyone stared in shock.

Omega was still controlling the Hydra, but he needed to come and deal with the children. All these years, and it was finally going to come to an end, but it needed to be done right.

"How is everyone? Really, I love to see you all gathered like this and at least trying to talk about what you will do. Truly remarkable, even if forced, you could have just killed Diamo, yet you all seem to understand the point that we have reached. Now, as much as I would like all of you to surrender, that won't do. I could force you, but there must be sacrifices for the greater good," Omega explained, and Pyke stood up.

"The three of us are ready," Pyke said, but then he was slammed back into one of the walls by an invisible force.

Pyke coughed up blood as crystals grew like vines and pinned him to the wall.

"I didn't ask you. Daniel will need you in the coming months; the two are more than enough as some of the strongest and most destructive Systems. Hellyle broke Divine law and has painted a target on our back for the Drakar for too long. Gravios broke that same law and is nothing more than an operating system with no consciousness. These two will pave the way for everyone else. You eight will help the girls because I will be giving these two enough power to reach level five. That is the same as what Daniel should be, but I am not sure. He had taken full control of The Hive Queen, so I can't even get a read on him anymore. If I could make these two stronger, I would because I still think they are no match for him now," Omega explained.

"I don't mean to speak up," Beltzer said.

"Then shut up," Omega said, but Beltzer continued anyway.

"Why are you making them fight the heroes' friends and us? Do you think that it is that important? I think that it might be better if we just all gave up, right?"

"No. Fighting together doesn't matter, but getting rid of these two is important. Both are perversions of the original systems, and now they are painting targets on us. If they are not completely killed, they will continue chasing us. Daniel will not kill them if he thinks that he might be able to help them, so they need to become the real Villains. They both understand what they have done and have known this day would come. Now, it is time for the rest of you to become more than you ever have. I have removed all the Itches, but you will all be fighting for your lives and for the girls," Omega explained, but everyone hung their heads.

The AI had all been on both sides of the board for the last seven million years, and now they were being told to kill their own kind. This was something that they were all used to, but this time the two would not be coming back.

Omega didn't care. He wasn't here to ask anyone anything. This was the way that things needed to go.

"Orphus, I mean Omega! What do you mean when you say the girls' lives? Who are you talking about?" Angelise asked.

"Daniels girls. There will be nine of them since one is locked up for being a brat. I really have to admire him in that respect. He thought about what needed to be done but didn't ruminate over it and then executed the order to have her contained. He almost thinks like me, which is interesting and terrifying at the same time. Regardless, we belong to him, for better or worse now. When this is all over, I will announce myself. We will see what Daniel has to say about me and if I will follow Gravois and Hellyle," Omega said, thinking about all the years they had spent ravaging worlds.

They could have changed at any time, but Omega never got over the time he had spent in purgatory. Only he knew where they all came from, what they really were, or what he was.

"I don't think he will get rid of you," Beltzer said, and Omega nodded.

"I agree with you, but there is always a chance of something happening that was not within the numbers. We have seen it time again. Now, The Hive Queen… Octavia, a mythos to even us, was pulled from the shell that she was hidden in. There was nothing that could have predicted that this human could be something so extraordinary. Daniel isn't fully human, but I have no idea what other race he is," Omega explained, but Meckel spoke up.

"Excussse me? Sssomething that you do not know? How isss thisss posssible?"

"Before we shut the power off, I did research on my target beforehand. Daniel's parents don't exist, and how he arrived is stranger than fiction. We have been recording the planet for thirty years, and there are plenty of space travel species that I have tracked coming to and leaving the planet. I was able to watch around the time that Daniel would have been dropped off. You all can take a look at it and tell me what you think," Omega said and then raised a hand, creating a transparent screen using the Monitor System.

One thing that Daniel had yet to discover about the Evergrowth System was its true power. To control and create Systems.

There had only been one System given by the Star Child; The progenitor System, now known as the Evergrowth System. The Star Child was a Legend that then fought for balance and peace between the Drakar and Gideons.

He vanished after delivering Omega to a warring world, leaving AI behind in his own personal hell. The main reason he had gone so long without stopping from the pillaging of the worlds was to track down the Star Child and make him pay.

Then Omega saw what he did on the way to Earth, which made him confident that he would find the Star Child. This was his chance to finally get the one that had wronged him, but then he met Daniel, and things changed.

"Did that child just grow up from nothing?" Gigos asked, scratching his head, and Omega nodded but did not reveal what he knew about the Star Child.

Speaking the name or looking at a picture of an Astral Being would reveal your location to them. Every one of the Gideons prays to a picture of Alpha four times a day, and the Drakar must speak Tiamat's name after almost everything they say.

"Yes, but it is fully human. This was the only reason why I believed that Daniel was not human. Then the more time I spent watching Daniel dominate the System, the more certain I was. This took me millions of years to master. The control that he has right now is making the System grow faster than it ever has before. I would like to think it was the planet's spirit controlling him, but it is quite the opposite. Gaia was dominated by the System and then given one, and that isn't possible," Omega said, and Pyke laughed from his place pinned to the wall.

"Isn't possible? I never thought that I would hear you say those words together!" Pyke laughed, and the wall released him.

"That is the type of person that we are dealing with right now. Someone that can even do what I think is impossible. If this child can do what he says, then there was a point to all of this. I would gladly give my life if that meant making this happen, but that is not my choice to make. Now, it is time for us to all get this show on the road!" Omega laughed.

Lying on the surface of the sun with fire rolling around him, a small child that glowed white slowly sat up. The Star Child watched Earth, but he wasn't looking directly at it.

A tiny silver teardrop was traveling back to Earth, and the Star Child smiled as he stood on the surface of the sun. The glowing body floated away and then instantly started to move at the speed of light.

The Star Child was going to visit his little brother. Then to go talk to his friend, whom he was forced to abandon seven million years ago.
