38-Problematic Entity

The Golden Bright Sun plastered itself within the Center of the Blue Azure Skies. The Fluffy White Clouds passed through the Skies using the Breeze of Wind. The Wind passed through Heaven and Earth. It rustled the leaves upon the spring trees scattered all over it. It was currently Noon in the World of Mankind. Within the Futuristic City of Humankind, There was a Giant Futuristic Building that Pierces the Heavens. It was the main HQ of the Primos Corporation.

Within the HQ of the Primos Corporation was the Secret Organization that got built by its owner. It was a Private Organization that deals with both Underworld and Overworld Matters within Humankind. The Organization was scrapping one of its Experimental Entities built by a Mana Crystal called Materiality Crystal. The Crystal that contained the rumored Mana of Creation. At the Top Central Part of the HQ was the Materiality Facility, where the Loyal Program was in progress.

In the Materiality Facility was numerous Scientist looking at the Ball of Gas at the Center of the Circular Machine. They sat around the Machine and looked at the Ball of Gas with serious expressions. The Loyal Program has been activated, and Typhos has begun her reveal over the Simulated World. The plan was to strike at one moment and quickly activate the Loyal Program. The Plan was going through without any problems until one of the Programs didn't take any order.

"Merra, The Energy Disturbance Liquid is currently within the Entity's body. This should be the best time to begin the Loyal Program." One of the Scientists reported towards the Beautiful Lady that stood in front of the Circular Machine. She looked at the Ball of Gas with a serious expression. She looked at the Scientist and nodded, but before they could continue. Another Report echoed within the Materiality Facility.

"One of the Programs within the Simulated Reality isn't taking any orders. They have taken the Entity and are currently escaping from Typhos." A Scientist reported with a serious voice. All of the Scientists within the Materiality Facility looked at him at the same time. They didn't know what happened and needed more information from the Scientist. The Scientist nodded and began explaining.

"The Name of the Program that didn't accept any of our orders named is Hivemind Program. It is the Program that has a complete connection with the Entity's mind. It wouldn't accept any orders and kept following the Entity's orders. It seemed that a Civil War would start within the Simulated Reality. It might take a while for us to solve this problem without using the external entities outside of the World Exodus." The Scientist reported with a serious voice as the Scientists within the Materiality Facility nodded after hearing the explanation.

Merra nodded with the Scientists and began thinking about the Hivemind Program. It was one of the Extra Projects that got combined in the Emperor Project. It was supposed to be a Program where all Artificial Intelligence got gathered. It seems that the Artificial Intelligence wasn't accepting their commands as the Hivemind Influence was strong enough to stop their Influence from invading it.

"This is quite a problem," Merra mumbled to herself as the Scientist continued observing the Simulated Reality. Another Scientist then reported the situation of the Simulated Reality. "Merra, We have a new problem..." Merra quickly looked at the Scientist and walked towards him. She looked through his screen with a calm gaze as she observed the problem the Scientist spoke about.

"Tsk... The Digitilized is out of control. All Abilities are being unlocked." Merra clicked her tongue and furrowed her eyebrows. She lost her former calm expression as the problem got larger and larger. The Scientist around her was shocked after hearing her words. The Digitilized needed time to get all of its Abilities unlocked. How did it get unlocked at one moment? That was the question within the Scientists' minds. One Scientist couldn't believe the words that came out of Merra's mouth.

"But how is that possible? The Digitilized is completely under our jurisdiction. Even the Programs running within the Simulated Reality wouldn't be able to affect it in any way." The Scientist didn't want to believe that one of their best programs got out of control. The Digitilized got created by the Organization, and it didn't come from the Materiality Crystal. The Scientists within the Materiality Facility and Merra realized the problem.

"What do you think would have higher jurisdiction than us?" Merra asked the Scientists around her. All of them were in silence as they didn't want to answer her question. It was too terrifying to think about. The Scientist that didn't want to believe Merra's words answered her question. "The only one that has Higher Authority than us is the Materiality Crystal itself." His voice echoed all over the Materiality Facility.

'This is a Gigantic Problem.' Merra thought to herself. It was something she didn't expect. A Scientist stood up and began talking. "Doesn't that mean that the Materiality Crystal itself has a Consciousness?" The Fact that the Materiality Crystal itself had a consciousness was dangerous. Materiality Crystal was supposed to be an Object within Legends. It can grant any wish as long as your Soul, Mind, or Body could take it without any problem.

If the Materiality Crystal had a consciousness. Wouldn't that mean that a God was hiding within the Crystal? Someone that could affect Reality itself... What would happen if it gets freed? "Merra, What do we do?" One of the Scientists asked. Merra was the director of the Materiality Facility and Emperor Program. They needed her orders to solve the problem. Merra, on the other hand, was in thought.

"This is why using an External Device for making a Simulated Reality isn't a good idea." One of the Scientists shook his head. It was clear that having an Unknown Object with Reality Warping Powers wasn't a good idea. But they were scientists. They were different from normal people. They wouldn't run away and would study it without any care of the world around them.

"What do you think is the Materiality Crystal trying to do?" Merra asked the Scientist around her. The Scientist thought about her question and wanted to come up with an answer. It took a while, but one of them had a theory. The Scientist rose a Hand as Merra nodded towards him. He then angled his glasses which illuminated a Light in an Instant.

"There is a possibility that the Materiality Crystal or the Being within it is using the Entity as an Escape Port. Have you remembered the time where we were supposed to give the Entity an Artificial Body. The Being should be planning to use that body." The Scientist explained his theory, but some of the Scientists within the Facility had doubts about the Theory.

"But why would the Being help the Entity escaped from the Loyal Program to proceed the acquiring of its Artificial Body?" One of the Scientists asked. The Scientist looked at him with a smirk plastered on his face and answered the question. "The Loyal Program should be its problem. The Loyal Program makes anything within the Simulated World loyal to the Organization. I doubt that the Being would want to be shackled. I doubt that it would really be shackled, but the Loyal Program might hinder its escape."

The Scientists hearing his Answer nodded in understanding. The Loyal Program hindered its acquirement of the Artificial Body. It might not even affect the Entity, which would mean that as long as they could Activate the Loyal Program to the Entity. They would still get the Entity and would also have a good discovery about the being. The Scientist with glasses continued his words.

"But there might be a duration. We should be fast as the Being might be taking over the Entity's Mind. Slowly but surely." The Scientists within the Materiality Facility nodded at the same time. They needed to be fast, or else the Being would be able to escape from its prison. While the Scientist was having their time, Merra stopped being silent and spoke with a calm tone.

"Do you really believe that there is a Being within the Materiality Crystal?" Merra asked with a calm tone as the Scientists were confused. Merra smirked and continued. "Have you read the reports about the Entity." The Scientists around Merra shook their heads. They then picked up the Paper Report of the Entity. They then began reading it with curious expressions.

"The Entity has reached Peak Awareness about the World. The Entity has begun inspecting the objects around it. It is currently decoding the Program Language that the Organization Created." The Reports in the Papers stopped at such words. The Scientists reading the report raised their eyebrows. They didn't have any single words to speak. All of them got shocked after reading the Report. It seemed that the Entity had begun its control over the SImulated World.

"But how? With the current abilities in the Entity's arsenal. It should be impossible to override the Codes we place on the Digitilized." The Scientist spoke with a calm tone as Merra answered. "The current ability of the Entity is Download, Upload, Inspect, Copy, and Paste. Judging from its name, You should understand what I'm trying to say." Merra said with a calm voice as the Scientists nodded.

"I must say... The Entity is quite creative." The Scientist nodded while thinking about the Entity's ways. "The fact that we almost believe a Being staying within the Materiality Crystal was quite embarrassing." One of the Scientists spoke with an embarrassed voice as all of the Scientists looked at him as if he was an idiot. "What being? When did we believe that? We were just having fun..." The Scientist chuckled as they didn't want to be seen as idiots.

"How should we handle the Entity?" It was a good question as they needed to handle the Entity. All Personnel within the Materiality Facility began thinking of ways to take care of the Entity. The Scientist with Glasses glinted as he had an idea within his mind. He looked at Merra and spoke with a calm tone. "Merra, I have an idea."

Merra looked at the Scientist and asked with a calm tone. "What is it?" The Scientist smiled and replied to her. "How about we use the Prototype Gods. They should be strong enough to conquer a world." All of the Scientists were in thought after hearing what the Scientist said. Merra thought about it within her mind and began thinking of its applications. The Prototype Gods were supposed to be beings that would fight the Entity in her later years. They were the Final Boss of the Simulated Reality.

"Isn't that the same as bringing a Final Boss in the Rookie Area?" One of the Scientists said as the remaining scientists nodded. It was supposed to be a Final Boss. Bringing it towards the World Exodus would be foolish. Typhos would probably be enough to handle the Entity without any problems. The Scientist that proposed the idea shook his head, and a smirk form on his face.

"All of you are close-minded if you think like that. The Prototype Gods aren't the Final Boss. They are a Prototype of the Final Boss. They aren't the final version, and this could be a good testing ground for the Prototype God to be deployed and tested." The Scientist explained with a confident tone. What he said made sense as it would be a good time to test the Prototype Final Boss.

"We can't make that decision without the Executives' help. After all, The Prototype God was supposed to be in the Later Stage of the Project. It might even be closer to the Final Stage of the Emperor Project." Merra said with a calm tone. The Prototype God wasn't something that should get easily released. The Scientists then looked at Merra after hearing what she said. Merra looked at them with a confused expression. She then realized what they were trying to do.

"I'd rather not deal with the Executives." Merra shook her head as the Scientists continued looking at her. Silence slowly engulfed the Materiality Facility. Merra looked at them and sighed. She then spoke with a calm tone. "Okay, I'll report to them about the situation and the testing of the Prototype God." The Scientists closed their fists at the back of their bodies as a sign of victory.
