Chapter 145 His Own Ambitions

"You stopped that thing and killed the other one that we couldn't fight? Are you even human anymore?" Melody asked as we slowed down.

Amy and the other Annokale were rushing over, and I could sense more of them coming. I might as well try and get into this creature's mind to talk with the top dog.

I was surprised that this Gideon was spewing more hot garbage about being superior. Alpha must have told him to shut up rather than embarrass themselves, but that was frustrating in itself.

If they were acting like this, then they thought that they still had a chance and wouldn't give up. I was stupid for thinking they would, but I didn't understand why they were here in the first place.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

I had Tiamat's heart, not Alpha's, so I didn't really get what his goal was.

"Is this it? Have you already stopped the rest?" Daimo asked, looking confused, but his face fell when I nodded. "So we really never had a chance."

"While I did not create you, I am the System that created you. I can dominate any of you, but you all had to make a choice. Things are going to be happening soon that will dwarf what this incident was," I explained.

"This incident? Is that what you are calling all of us AI invading your planet and killing many of your people?" Timala asked, then added, "Thank you for saving me."

"You are not computer programs; you are a race known as the Annokale. You are Spirits from now destroyed worlds that were collected and infused into what we call Systems. Each of these Systems is created from the Astral Body of Tiamat, leader of the Darkar. I will go into detail about everything when everyone gathers. For now, let me deal with this interloper," I said, setting Melody down. "Everyone, please get back; I am going to get bigger."

Everyone did as I said, and I rapidly expanded my form until I was the same height as the Giant Rock man. I looked into the rock face, but there wasn't any movement, so I knocked on his head.

"Yes?! You can ask me a question! I am not a door!" The rock face snapped at me, and I nodded.

"Yes, I could have done that, but I don't need to talk to you. I already heard that you got chased out of the universe by the valiant Tiamat, Astral Goddess. I could just crush you like the rest of your bodies that are nothing more than dust," I said, and the creature became silent again, so I grabbed either side of its head and pressed it into mine. "Let's talk, Supreme Leader of Nothing!"

My voice roared out with an echo, then I was sucked out of my body again, just like last time, but I was ready for it this time, and I asserted my position.

I was in a hall, but everything was so big that I was an ant in comparison. Ahead of me was a golden demon with twin horns projecting from his forehead.

"You dare speak to me like this?"

I didn't answer; I just walked forward and grew rapidly as I did. The look of surpise on Alpha's face when I reached him and put my hand around his throat was priceless.

"You are ancient, just like her, yet you are the one that tricked Tiama. Then you both imprisoned the ones that gave you life, the Annokale. Why? What do you hope to gain from this?" I asked, and Alpha sat still, not trying to stop my hand.

"You can not hurt me here," Alpha said and then pulsed cosmic radiation at me, but it slipped past me with no effect.

"Nor can you hurt me, but I will not be talked down to by someone who can't see past his ambitions. You started this all, so why? Is it really just to rule everyone?" I asked.

"When I get my heart back and ascend, I will destroy this universe properly and remake it in my own image. Everyone will serve me, and it will be perfect," Alpha said and spread his hands wide. "This is the way it is meant to be. This is my destiny that I have written, and you are just a small step in finding my heart."

This was getting closer to what I wanted to know.

"What do I have to do with finding your heart?" I asked.

"Why would I tell you that?" Alpha asked with a stupid smile that I didn't like, so I slapped it off.

"Stop acting like a jackass. If you don't tell me, then I will assume that it has something to do with Tiamat's heart. That means that the key to finding your heart is in the one I have. Okay, that is all I needed; you can send me back now," I said and let go of the God of the Gideons neck.

Alpha leaped up and then swung at me, but the fist went through me, making my image ripple.

"How can you attack me in my own mind! You aren't even real!" Alpha declared, and I chuckled.

"You should be careful who you invite into your mind. I have read enough fantasy to know that being invited in is like being given power. You gave me the power to exist in your mind, so I am just a figment of your imagination, but like a dream, I can still affect you. Maybe one day, I might even be able to kill you if you even invite me back in, but for now, I am satisfied. Your reactions have told me everything that I need to know," I told the now furious God.

"I will hunt you till the end of time! There is nowhere that you can run! I will get my heart back and remove you from existence!" Alpha screamed, and I was thrown back into my body.

I opened my eyes and then flexed my arms, pushing my hands together. The Rock man screamed, and I crushed his head between my hands, making his body crystalize into a flat red metal.
