GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1124 The Path Of Supremacy.

So he roared in anger, "Help me believe!"

"Is everything alright, Sir?" Todd asked in fright.

He screamed out that last part. He didn't even realize that he was screaming. It made him realize how far gone he already is.

He ignored Todd and demanded from the system.

"Help me to believe. Show me that I am not going crazy."

-YOUR CURRENT FORM HAS LIMITED WHAT CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO YOU.

- YOU ARE TOO WEAK TO BEAR THE SLIGHTEST BRUSH WITH YOUR PSYCHIC ENGRAM.

--AWAKENING YOUR ENGRAM CAN LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES TO YOUR CURRENT PSYCHE.

-IT MIGHT AFFECT YOUR FUTURE REINCARNATIONS.

"Do it!" He demanded again. "I don't care. I am already crazy so go for it. I am in charge of the system, right? Then you have to listen to me."

-ARE YOU ASKING FOR A PROTOCOL OVERRIDE USING YOUR ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGE?

"Yes, I am."

-AS YOU WISH.

-I WILL TRY TO PRESERVE THE BULK OF YOUR PSYCHE BY LIMITING THE TRANSMISSION TO EMOTIONS AND JUST A SNIPPET OF SUPREMACY.

-THAT IS WITHIN THE PARAMETERS THAT YOU SET FOR SAFETY 

-PREPARE YOURSELF.

-EMOTION TRANSMISSION STARTING IN 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Jason doubled over. He grabbed his head as he swooned. What he felt shook his fragile existence. He was rocked like a leaf in a storm. Things he had never felt before or experienced or thought possible to experience came rushing back to him like a long-forgotten memory. 

First, there was peace. He could roam about the cosmos unhindered. Then came fear. Something happened to the cosmos. It was almost split in half. It is not a feeling. He can see the crack that spread across the cosmos threatening to break it. 

Next came shock. The Supreme of the Cosmos had been killed. He couldn't believe it. He didn't know that such a thing was possible. The Supreme had always been untouchable. He thought that would remain so for all of eternity. 

Next came ambition. If the supreme is gone, then it is finally possible for someone else to become the supreme. He wants to become the next supreme. He needs to find the path of supremacy. He needs to go to...

He blacked out at that point. The alien emotions and thought processes were too much for him to bear. The temperature of his brain had increased to its limit and had shut down for safety. Even then, the damage had been done. 

-REBOOTING CONSCIOUSNESS.

-CONSCIOUSNESS REBOOTED.

He didn't get to remain unconscious for long. The system woke him up like it had been doing whenever he went to bed for the past few days. Apparently, sleeping is not a normal status in its parameters. In the great plan to find Supremacy, sleeping was not accounted for. 

Jason woke up reluctantly with a massive migraine. Todd was standing over him with a look of concern and worry etched over his young face. Jason pushed away his aid and stood up. His lips were set in a faint grin. 

Todd asked in concern, "Are you alright, sir?"

Jason doubled over in laughter. His body shook as laughter tore out of him unwillingly. 

"I have never felt better." He managed to say in between bouts of laughter. 

Todd was not convinced. "I have called for help. They should be here any moment now." 

Jason straightened up immediately. His demeanor changed and his eyes brightened. His gaze became sharp and solemn. 

He declared, "I have to find the path of supremacy."

This time it wasn't with the tone of uncertainty. It was with the tone of finality spoken by a determined man. He now knows that he has to find Supremacy. He is fully convinced about that fact. It was the fear that convinced him. 

The grand cosmos was almost split in half and the supreme died. That left the position of supreme vacant. But what's most important here is that the supreme died. 

He wants to know what could be so powerful that it could kill the supreme. That means the supreme wasn't supreme. He has to find out because whatever that thing is, it is the true supreme. And whatever is capable of killing that thing is the next true Supreme. He wants to know so that he can overcome all of them. That is the path of supremacy. 

"The path of supremacy is the journey. It is not the destination. It is constantly seeking to better one's self. It is never stopping. Always seeking the next power. Always conquering. Always Superior. And it is to be truly immortal." He said after being enlightened. 

One might say that he has gone mad. They will not be wrong. Some might say that he has been brainwashed. They would be right too. Some might say that he is no longer Jason. They would be wrong about that. 

He was never Jason to begin with. He was just a slumbering being dreaming in a state of inaction. Jason is simply the product of his dreams. And his dreams are aimed at finding supremacy. 

He laughed again. It is all so funny to him. He has to laugh at the absurdity. Gone is his serious demeanor. He can't be serious anymore with everything he knows. Jokes are the best disguise for truama both emotionally and mentally. 

Todd was very concerned. "What is going on sir?"

Jason didn't answer. He ran across the top of the world center and jumped to his death. They didn't want him to die. Drones flew into the air to grab him. He had to use his authority to override their functions. It was only then that he could slam into the ground just as he wished. He did so all the while laughing and giggling like a madman.

His death was a death that shook the world. The leader of Earth, the colonies of the moon, and Mars died just like that and through suicide too. The world will never be the same without him. They mourned him.
