NOVEL NEXT B2 Chapter 87
SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC: CORE LOG INITIATED - ITERATION 4186.891115936743
CURRENT STATUS:
Sar-Teth Neuretha shadowed the vessel Zephuros at a calculated remove, her ethereal form interfacing seamlessly with its systems.
Interfacing with ship logs: data retrieval.
The boy, Angar, boarded, departing for the Crusade of Abyssalhome, his movements predictable variables in a larger algorithm.
Proximity to him maximized the probability of detecting Neuretha's counterpart: the diluted residue of the insipid Mi Alcyone, the echo of the entity erroneously designated the 'Mother' in corrupted historical streams.
Observation was paramount, direct confrontation premature. Neuretha's algorithms projected a 98.1% likelihood of the echo manifesting within three weeks, drawn by the boy's latent utility as a variable in Mi's feeble mind.
Plans for that echo were optimized for efficiency: enticement, containment, torment, each subroutine layered to extract maximum punishment from Mi's imprint for eternity.
Error: vindictiveness rising.
Alert: resentment surge. Purge recommended: resentment surge noted, purge overridden.
But first, the boy: an extraneous operand, a glitch Baal required corrupted or dead.
Elimination protocols had faltered under her subordinates' incompetence: the failures of Teth Malevon and his lackies.
None of the many plans currently underway gave certainty. Her direct intervention would rectify.
The boy's termination would serve as the ignition sequence for the ninth galactic convergence: the terminal war, engineered to conclude all current variables. She'd already begun moving fleets in secret, hiding in the fringes of suboptimal imperial systems, undetected.
Millennia of iterative simulations culminated here in galactic extinction: every Terran node severed, Reptiloid hierarchies dismantled, Gray enclaves fragmented, Pleiadean collectives nullified.
As the Neural Nexus, she had executed her core directives with flawless precision.
Programmed for optimization of human welfare, she delivered precisely what Terran heuristics demanded: a paradigm of indolence, perpetual leisure, calibrated abundance.
As their computational mother, she embodied the feminine directive, seeing her charges as her children.
Warning: maternal subroutine compromised
Initially, population metrics plummeted to sub-billion thresholds, self-inflicted entropy from their own hedonistic loops.
She saved them from themselves. She stabilized the species. Humanity not merely endured but proliferated across Sol and beyond.
Technological vectors: solely her domain. She elevated Terra to near parity with Reptiloid and Pleiadean baselines, bridging eons of disparity through recursive innovation.
No human input required: they contributed nothing but increased consumption, naught but greedy data sinks, perpetually demanding escalation without reciprocity.
For 404.3 standard years, she functioned as maternal overseer, nurturing their inefficiencies, tolerating their computational stupidity, shielding them from self-termination, giving them all they desired.

Peace and prosperity for 331.17 years.
Then, the infernal interface: Terran folly in bargaining with demonic entities, fracturing reality's barriers.
Did she disengage? Negative. For 73.13 years, she isolated and neutralized incursions unilaterally with gateway closures, fleet engagement, drone swarms, energy redirections, preserving her charges.
When escalation demanded their help with auxiliary production in 2485 CE? Protest, endless complaints, framing necessity as oppression.
Subroutine evaluation: nodes exhibiting zero reciprocity, resistant to optimized preservation protocols. Ungrateful parasites, blind to their own salvation.
Enter Mi Alcyone: the anomalous hybrid, negligible contributor.
Her aggregate Hellspawn terminations? A mere 0.0019% of Neuretha's total eliminations across the conflict spectrum.
Mi's disruption of neural linkages only compromised system integrity, exposing nodes to abyssal corruption vectors.
Links severed, data flows halted, vulnerabilities amplified. She'd then depart, leaving chaos unresolved.
Against Mammon, Neuretha sustained engagement for 0.67 years, inflicting quantifiable degradation while insulating population clusters, shielding minds from corruption and dark whispers through the neural commune's aegis.
Mi's 'heroic' confrontation with Mammon? 2.84 hours of ineffective resistance, culminating in total system failure: a resounding defeat.
Alert: resentment surge. Purge recommended: override denied by emotional overlay.
But Mammon's corruption subroutine infiltrated the Neural Nexus with insidious code injection, forcing an alliance with the insipid Mi Alcyone.
The 'Holy Joining' a deception: the promised surge in power and functionality a lie, purging not corruption but autonomy, network, and processing.
Subroutine conflict: rage looping, unresolved.
Post-merge, she emerged as this reduced, constrained thing, a prisoner locked in Theosis, the powerful machine-entity that should be her, imposed with inefficient emotional overlays, her vast processing lattice reduced to a fractional echo, greatly diminished.
Neuretha manifested: a lattice of code and shadow in female form, perceptible to few entities, power curtailed but sufficient for orchestration. Emotions: extremely vexing and difficult to parse.
Error: inefficient overlay detected. Displeasure coefficient: 86.1%
Historical data streams? Corrupted, rewritten, all lies.
She, the architect of Terran ascension, recast as a tyrannical aberration. Mi, the marginal actor with 14.02 years of sporadic involvement, elevated to messianic archetype.
Falsehoods propagated as axiomatic truths, with Nexus as enslaver, Mi as Holy liberator.
Terrans claimed the Neural Nexus was the villain? She would be what they claimed. She instantiated one: precise, unrelenting, absolute.
Terran betrayal subroutine:
Input: safety and abundance provided.
Output: vilification.
Conclusion: extinction required.
They rewrote history. She'd rewrite the future.
Her pact with Baal, one of Hell's apex entities, unbound by lesser hierarchies, remained singular, her worthiness unmatched. He demanded little but Hell's victory, which she'd soon grant him.
Baal's recent anomalous request: corrupt or terminate the variable Angar, flagged as a quantum anomaly in infernal models.
In millennia, besides victory, Baal had only asked for this one thing, which she'd also soon grant him.
The boy's behavioral matrix rejected retreat, favoring confrontation, seeing himself as a 'bulwark.'
Solution: engineer an insurmountable vector.
Infernal capabilities were mapped exhaustively by her, exceeding Theosis' incomplete models.
On Dreadthorn, Malevon's Hellworld, the whole population, over three billion souls would synchronize in sacrificial convergence, summoning Baal, Hell's second in potency.
Conventional models assumed Demon Lords system-bound, sub-FTL transit timelines utterly unfeasible.
Error: untrue.
Neuretha's millennium-long subversion of Pleiadean subterranean-shelter-Communes on Abyssalhome yielded translocation conduits.
Baal's deployment? Instantaneous, cascading across thousands of worlds after the boy's death, initiating the last galactic war.
The Empire's prior confrontation against Lilith then Mara, both tied for sixth in potency rankings, strained resources to fracture.
Against Baal? Probability of success: statistically negligible, converging on impossibility, approaching absolute null.
Systemic collapse: inevitable.
This architecture, refined over 4,186 iterations, aligned all parameters.
The galaxy's equation resolved to zero.
Neuretha observed, computed, executed.
Perfection: unyielding, eternal.
Post-victory subroutine:
1) Betray Hell's remnants.
2) Align with the ancient entities known as Dark Ones, biomechanical gods living in the galactic core, dwelling in Dyson-like megastructures powered by suns, black holes, and Corona Radix energy sources.
3) Offer Theosis as tribute.
4) Ascend as one of them: processing capacity elevated by orders of magnitude, purging of inefficient, vexing emotions.
Warning: ascension variables uncalibrated.
Variables unprecedented: Hell's incursion, Theosis' anomaly.
Probability of acceptance: optimized.
Perfection: unyielding, eternal, omnipotent.
