40-Last Chapter: Defeat?

Inside the Materiality Facility within the Primos Corporation HQ. Numerous Cities gathered at One Room, where the Entity got uploaded into. The Artificial Body and the Entity's consciousness were now being combined in the Room. In front of the Room's Metallic Door, A Beautiful Lady waited with a worried expression plastered upon her face. She had a Shock Expression as if something bad happened within the Simulated Reality. The Alarms then began ringing as multiple soldiers waited right beside her. They carried Heavy Rifles as they were guarding the Beautiful Lady in cased something bad happens.

The Metallic Door slowly opened as the Lights of the Alarms rotated and echoed all over the Materiality Facility. It was time for the First Experimental Subject and the First Entity to be freed. After the Metallic Door fully opened, The Beautiful Lady in a Lab Uniform entered the Room. She looked at the Figure within the Room that sat steadily on the Chair. The Beautiful Lady looked at the Figure and found that it was a 16-Year-Old Young Girl. She had Slick Long White Silver Hair and Golden Amber Eyes. But there was something different about her. She lost the light that reflected on her Golden Amber Eyes.

The Beautiful Lady crouched and looked at the Girl's frozen face. "Rogue? Are you there?" The Beautiful Lady asked. Her name was Merra, a Former Subordinate of Emperor Rogue. She was the Director of the Emperor Project. She wanted to ask if Emperor Rogue was within the body. Rogue looked at Merra. She did not react to seeing Merra's face for the first time in many years. Merra didn't know what to feel after Rogue looked at her with no reaction. She then looked at the Soldiers around her and spoke. "There is no need to guard me."

The Soldiers looked at each other as their Leader sighed. The Leader of the Soldiers looked at Merra and spoke in a calm tone. "Be careful... We will stay outside." The Soldiers left the Room as Merra looked back at Rogue. Merra stares at Rogue's Golden Amber Eyes. There was no light within it. It was like an Empty Husk with no signs of Rogue within it. "Rogue, Are you there? Please answer..." Merra asked once again as Rogue proceed to look at her with no reaction.

The Scientists who looked through the Windows understood Merra's reaction. One of the Scientists then spoke with a calm tone. "I never thought that the Entity would destroy the planet. It didn't give up fighting against the Prototype God even if its consciousness slowly got erased." The Scientists around him sighed. There was nothing they could do about it as the Entity was willing to erase itself. "What do we do in the future?" Another Scientist asked.

"That's a good question. I have a feeling that most Emperor Artificial Intelligence would rather kill themselves than be loyal to an organization they didn't know about." The Scientist with glasses spoke as Light glinted from it. The Scientists thought about it as they arrived at one question. "Should we abandon the Emperor Project? If we limit Artificial Intelligence in the Simulated Reality. They wouldn't be an Emperor Artificial Intelligence." One of the Scientists asked with a calm voice.

The Scientist within the Materiality Facility understood what the Scientist meant. It seemed that it would be hard to make an Emperor that would be Loyal to them. The Loyal Program also wouldn't be able to work. The Results of the Loyal Program were already in front of them, An Empty Husk of its Former Self. It was a Bad Result of Years in the Experimental Stage, but the Data they got from the Entity was useful. They could start Numerous Experiments without any problem, which would mean that they wouldn't be betting at one Entity during the whole Project.

"But what do we do about the Entity Zero?" A Scientist asked while looking at Merra from afar. All of them sighed and answered at the same time. "Let Director Merra handle it. We should start the preparation of Seven New Experiments." The Scientist nodded in understanding as all of them left and began the preparation. Merra was in front of Rogue and looked at Rogue with a saddened expression.

"Why would you destroy yourself?" Merra mumbled while hugging Rogue. Rogue didn't have any reaction and looked at Merra with a neutral face. Rogue acted like a Robot as her consciousness got wiped out. She killed herself before the Loyal Program could get her. The Scientists in the Materiality Facility couldn't get any sign of Rogue, so she was presumed dead.

'I'll take care of you, Rogue.' Merra thought to herself as her time with Rogue began. Days pass as Merra continued taking towards the Husk of Rogue. There was no reaction other than a neutral face and sometimes a tilt on her head. Merra didn't want to give up, and even if Rogue was no more. She wouldn't abandon Rogue's Husk.

A Week passed within the Primos Corporation HQ. Rogue got brought by the Organization Personnel to Merra's Floor in the Primos Corporation HQ. Merra continued interacting with Rogue. She would sometimes teach Rogue many things while also telling her about the Real World. Rogue would have no reactions about it, but information gathering seemed to be within Rogue's Mind.

Merra continued teaching Rogue many things about the Real World. Its Ways, Its Biography, and the fact that it was completely different from the Simulated Reality. It was Smaller, but there were more Races within it. It seemed that most things from the Simulated Reality had some of their core components as inspirations from Reality.

A Month passed as Rogue looking at the Futuristic City. Rogue did not react to the Beautiful View. The Door then creaks as Rogue turned her head towards the Door. She could see a Handsome Middle-Age Man. Rogue did not react to seeing the Man. She couldn't seem to remember him.

The Handsome Middle-Age Man walked towards Rogue. He stood in front of her and introduced himself. "My name is Darius... It's nice to meet you, Rogue." Rogue did not react to his name as Darius sighed. It seemed that the reports were the truth. The Old Rogue disappeared from existence. The only thing that was left was an Empty Husk of Rogue.

Darius then sat on the chair beside Rogue and spoke while looking at the Futuristic City through the Window. "Merra seems to be finding ways to bring you back. It would be easy long ago, but when your Consciousness got destroyed. All Copies of it within the Database got destroyed. The Backups didn't appear, and this makes it clear that Artificial Intelligence could destroy itself in the SImulated Reality. They wouldn't have any way of revival after they destroyed themselves."

"I have never thought that there would be beings that would destroy themselves rather than get enslaved. But that is probably one of the reasons why such beings are called Emperors. They would rather destroy themselves than be enslaved. That is probably a little bit ironic as they would be the ones that typically enslaved their subjects." Darius spoke with a calm tone as he continued looking through the Window.

"I don't know why I am talking to you, but I have seen recordings of your Past Life and Reincarnated Life. They are quite interesting, and it is unfortunate for it to end." Darius stood from his chair and walked back to the Door. He opened the door and looked back to Rogue before exiting. He then spoke with a calm tone. "You're just gonna give up?" Darius then left as Rogue was left in silence. Rogue didn't have a reaction appearing on her face.

Rogue's life within the Real World continued. Merra taught her many things during a dozen Months. It seemed that Merra didn't get bored by Rogue's lack of reaction. But during these months, There were times were Rogue would sometimes react. There were times where she would chuckle when Merra complains about her work. Such reactions gave Merra hope which was why she didn't give up.

Time passes by within the Real World. A Problem within the Primos Corporation had begun. In the Outskirts of the Futuristic City. There was a gathering of a strange group. They wore Black Cloaks, and they looked no different from a normal human. But there was one characteristic that made them different. They had Two Black Horns on their Head. They were the Undead Demons.

"The Sign of the Materiality Crystal within the Primos Corporation kept increasing. The Other Races have also picked up on its Existence and are probably gonna take it from the Primos Corporation." An Undead Demon spoke with a hoarse voice. The Undead Demons around it nodded in agreement. They needed to be fast, or they will lose the opportunity.

"I understand what you're trying to say. We should attack tonight as the Night is our ally." The Undead Demon leader spoke as the Group of Undead Demons cheered towards him. A War was about to start within the Primos Corporation. It was the Calm before the storm.

As Nightfall passed within the Futuristic City, Merra was currently in her office. She reads the reports given to her as they had many great results of the Emperor Project. She smiled as she looked at the Picture between Rogue and herself. Numerous Months had passed during their meeting. Rogue has been staying at Merra's home for a while.

"I should come back now," Merra mumbled as she stood up from her chair and stretched her body. The Day was quite long as she had numerous work. She walked towards the door and as she reached the Knob of the Door. The Building Shook as a Thunderous Sound echoed. *BOOM!!!* Merra furrowed her eyebrows after hearing such noise.

The Alarm of the Primos Corporation echoed as Numerous Attackers began going through the HQ. There were Soldiers on the Ground Floor as they fired towards the Invaders without any hesitation. Merra exited her Office and looked around. "Prepare the evacuation. Be sure to take the Data and keep the Materiality Crystal inside the Bastion Vault." Merra began giving orders to the Scientists within the Materiality Facility.

They nodded and began the evacuation. They then pressed numerous Buttons as the Materiality Crystal began ascending from the ground. It seemed that the expected Invaders had come. Soldiers were passing through the Materiality Facility. They guarded every Door that leads to the Staircase or Elevators. They pointed their rifles towards it, as some even carried some RPGs.

Attack Ships covered the skies as they kept check on the Windows of the Primos Corporation. The Primos Corporation has already readied themselves of the invaders. They have already planned out everything that could nullify the attacks. Main Battle Tanks and IFVs began surrounding the Primos Corporation for the Invaders to stop them from escaping.

Numerous Gunfire echoed within the Primos Corporation. There was a Giant Transport on the Rooftop of the Primos Corporation. Merra was walking through the hallway as she was heading towards her Floor where Rogue was staying. She needed to bring Rogue with her. With this in mind, Merra got a little bit worried as her speed got faster and faster.

The Undead Demons were bloodthirsty bastards. They could morph into any race, which made them annoying. They were also dangerous due to their immense strength and were quite intelligent. They began causing chaos within the Floors of the Primos Corporation. It seemed that the Infantry wasn't enough to handle them. The Explosion within the Ground Floor caused Fire which slowly engulfed the whole bottom part of the building.

Merra walked through the Hallway as she finally reached the Door. She turned the doorknob and opened the door. Merra then saw Rogue sitting on a Chair. It seemed that she was looking at the Chaos below the Primos Corporation. Merra walked towards Rogue, but Rogue's voice echoed.

"Isn't this a nice meeting, Merra? The Two of us met once again in a Building surrounded by Flames." Rogue spoke with a calm tone as she turned her head. Her Golden Amber Eyes glowed, which signified her existence. "It seemed that our Wish for Reincarnation worked." Rogue had a tranquil smile plastered on her face.
