Apocalypse Cheater

[: Daniel POV :]

After a memorable night with Mom, the following days glided by swiftly, much like the flowing spring of a river.

Despite reaching this point, the impact of my actions on the future hadn't crossed my mind.

After several days had passed, the highly awaited promise day dawned.

This was the day when Tess's remarkable creation, the Tessera, was set to be revealed.

This groundbreaking invention was anticipated to bring great changes to the world.

It hints at a change that will bring a new Era.

It was a project made together by him and Mom.

Recalling her grand ambition to dominate the world.

Even now, she held the power to make that ambition a reality.

It was merely a matter of timing.

However, the moment that had been eagerly awaited by Mom had finally arrived.

It was the launch of Tessera.

Today is a crucial day, as it marked the point where the world would potentially bow down before the might of this innovation, bringing it to its knees.

The Tessera's launch signalled a shift in the world, initiating a New Age that held the promise of a new Era.

Even though it was a time of transformation and progress, there was an ominous future threat.

It was none other than the looming threat of an impending Apocalypse that could shatter the dreams associated with this New Age.

Despite this uncertainty, there was a change this time.

With my involvement, the present time has changed.

And now, the New Age had the potential to thrive and progress in a manner that could potentially mitigate some of the challenges posed by the incoming Apocalypse.

"Why the long face dear?"

My mom's gentle voice interrupted my deep contemplation, pulling me back from my thoughts.

"Nothing, Mom,"

I responded with a slight shake of my head, attempting to dispel any concern she might have had.

"I was just thinking about how much the world would change after this,"

I expressed, my thoughts wavering between excitement and expectation.

Looking at my mom, I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.

Her presence, as always has captivated me.

I was awed by her beauty, feeling a mixture of comfort and mesmerized.

She adorned herself in a striking black crimson dress that elegantly accentuated her curves, her hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail.

In her hand, she held a wine cup, her violet eyes fixed on me, casting an enchanting spell that left me utterly captivated by her beauty.

"Aren't you staring too much at me, dear?"

She teased, a chuckle dancing in her voice as she noticed my gaze fixed upon her.

"Well, I can't help it. After all, no one could turn their eyes away from you,"

I complimented, unable to resist acknowledging her captivating allure.

Her smile in response was a testament to the effect she effortlessly had on those around her.

"Leader, we are ready to launch the Tessera,"

Tess's voice cut through the room, interrupting the buzzing conversations of the VIPs.

Right now, we were at the grand hall, filled with dozens of VIPs wearing masks, engaging in conversations and mingling with their acquaintances.

Servants circulated among them, offering wine from a central table where crystal-clear wine cups were readily available.

It was an event worth celebrating with the air humming with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming Tessera launch.

These VIPs weren't merely members of the Organization ruled by my mother.

They were individuals representing various powerful entities from around the world.

And all of them were groups that decided to follow my mother's vision.

Among them were both representatives and heads of their respective powerhouses, each holding significant influence within their spheres.

It was a carefully concentrated gathering of formidable figures.

All were brought together to bear witness to this important day.

They were invited to share in the unveiling of the Tessera and the transformative potential it held.

"Alright, then get ready for the launch,"

My mother's demeanour shifted from a sweet, gentle smile to an authoritative and determined expression.

It was signifying the gravity of the moment.

"Right this way, Leader,"

Tess took the lead, guiding my mother towards the stage where she would commence her speech before the Tessera's launch.

As my mother ascended the platform on the stage, her gaze swept through the grand hall, assessing the gathered VIPs.

With a commanding presence, she began her speech.

Her voice echoed through the room, capturing the attention of everyone present, and setting the stage for the pivotal moment of the Tessera's introduction.

"I believe that all of us have been eagerly anticipating this day,"

She began, her voice carrying an air of significance, capturing the attention of the audience.

"It's a day we all know will usher in a monumental change in the world,"

She continued, each word purposefully spoken to emphasize the transformative impact expected from the Tessera's launch.

"Even with the unpredicted variables presented by Modern Fantasia, it didn't disrupt our plans or cause devastating effects,"

She assured the audience, acknowledging the unexpected situation while maintaining a tone of confidence in their preparation.

"In fact, it has magnified the impact of our plans by thousands! I dare say that the effect of Tessera will not just be ten times, but thousands of times better than before,"

She exclaimed, her voice rising with enthusiasm, intensifying the excitement in the room.

As she spoke, her passionate delivery ignited a fervour among the audience.

Through the masks that concealed their expressions, the excitement in their eyes gleamed like sparks.

"By now, some of you might be asking, what exactly is the Tessera?"

Se paused, acknowledging the curiosity brewing among the audience.

"In all honesty, it was initially nothing groundbreaking, except for its intelligence"

"However, because of Modern Fantasia, it became a world changer" She declared.

"Thanks to Modern Fantasia, we've developed a variable plan that deviates from the original Tessera, and today, this modification will come as a surprise for all of you,"

She announced, teasing a sense of anticipation among the audience, hinting at an unforeseen development that could potentially alter the course of events.

Suddenly, a robotic figure emerged dramatically from the bottom of the stage.

It developed in billowing smoke, creating a striking visual effect that captured the attention of everyone present.

"What you're seeing, of course, is a robot,"

She revealed, observing the evident curiosity and intrigue it stirred among the audience.

It easiest more questions than answers.

"I can understand why this might be perplexing for all of you, but let me elaborate further,"

She continued, sensing the audience's need for clarification and eager to offer more insight into the unexpected spectacle unfolding before them.

"This robot is merely a shell, a body, and a vessel for our greatest invention, the Tessera,"

She revealed, gesturing toward the robotic figure that had emerged, emphasizing its role as a conduit for their groundbreaking creation.

"To simplify what the Tessera truly is, it's essentially a powerful Artificial Intelligence"

"But it's not just any A.I., it operates on a global scale,"

She explained, aiming to clarify the nature and magnitude of the Tessera's capabilities.

"It contains every piece of information known to us and perhaps even holds answers to questions that elude our own understanding,"

She expressed, underscoring the vast expanse of knowledge and potential within the Tessera, implying its ability to transcend the limits of human comprehension.

"What's truly fascinating about Tessera is its constant evolution,"

She pointed out, her tone carrying a sense of awe and excitement.

"Every passing day, every single second, it's updated with millions of pieces of information, and that's just the tip of the iceberg,"

She declared, emphasizing the continual influx of data that fueled its evolution.

"The potential it holds is endless, perpetually growing and adapting, marking it as an unparalleled force with boundless possibilities,"

She concluded, expressing the limitless scope and potential of Tessera's continual growth and expansion.

The Tessera had served as a weapon that significantly aided us in an alternate future, playing a pivotal role in our defence against the impending Apocalypse.

It was the Tessera's absolute intelligence that empowered us to stand our ground against the catastrophic forces.

It allowed us to fend off the existential threat that loomed over our existence.

Without the Tessera's unparalleled capabilities, our survival in the face of the Apocalypse would have been an instant death.

It would have been impossible for me to endure and progress to the point where I find myself now.

One startling revelation truly caught my attention amidst all this, something that had never existed or been invented in the future I came from.

Due to my intervention, sharing all the treasures and knowledge, it unexpectedly enabled Mom and Tess to create another invention akin to the Tessera.

This unforeseen development took me aback, realizing that my actions in the present had paved the way for the birth of a creation that had not existed in the future I was familiar with.

This additional creation was an unexpected consequence of the resources and insights I had provided, altering the course of technological advancement in ways I never anticipated.
