GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS
Chapter 55 - 55: Conquering Earth 2. A Future Yet So Funny

Patrick's words reverberated the scene, his voice echoing the minds and hearts of the awakened warriors; his words were short, but to the awakened opposite him, they were like ten thousand thunderclaps occurring simultaneously.

Without the need to state it, dread and despair already filled the consciousnesses of the group as they only hovered there looking at the silver-haired Patrick with zero intention of continuing their assault.

Seeing the panicked-stricken group of the warriors, Patrick scoffed, saying, "I have lost appetite for thrashing; you bunch aren't worth my attention or qualified to hover at equal elevation with me, begone." As Patrick said, a pressuring wave descended from above as it sent every hovering awakened crashing down the earth.

Boom! Posh! Splash!

A series of various sounds echoed as the awakened warriors heavily crashed into whatever remained of New York, which was now mostly water and some steel towers.

It has been two minutes and fifteen seconds since Patrick arrived and conquered everyone, and with the mighty descent of the millions of awakened, it was clear the once anticipated battle has ended, as only he and his company remained floating in the air, like lonely beings destined for solitude for being at the zenith of existence.

Patrick then turned and faced the dying president; on the president/demon god's face was a look of utter disbelief and horror. His mouth constantly blurting out blood, and his widened eyes slowly dying out, showcasing his depleting lifeforce. With a struggling mouth, the demon god opened his lips and chuckled with self-mockery; he then spoke.

"Ha~ cough~ so you let me build all this, just so you can make me watch you destroy it all? Cough~ what a cruel bastard you are."

As the demon god spoke, Patrick approached steadily, each step announcing the demon god's approaching time of death and erasure.

"Cough~ when... when we first met, you said you would tell me who you were before killing me, cough~ Will I be knowing now, or am I still unqualified? Cough~ are you a god or a devil? Cough~ what does it matter? You are powerful all the same. Cough~"

The demon god said as he watched Patrick approach and stood over him, like a criminal looking at his executioner. Looking at the pathetic state of his enemy, Patrick maintained his impassiveness, not hinting at the slightest emotion of sympathy or sorrow.

"The concepts of gods and devils apply to neither me nor my women and servants. And even if I told you, you would never comprehend it. For I am the Ruler of All and Master of Beyond; I am Patrick Alexander King." While finishing his sentence, an energy sword materialized from the symbiotic adaptation suit and into his right hand, followed by him slicing off the president's head with a single slash.

Upon cutting off the demon god's head, Patrick stood over its headless corpse as he watched the head fall from the sky, followed by the body and head suddenly erupting into black flames.

The magical displays remained activated, all showing what was occurring. The world reacted with widened eyes and widened mouths as they witnessed Patrick not only single-handedly defeat over a billion awakened warriors, including SS ranks, but also proceeded to publicly execute the most powerful person on the planet, the president of the United States of America.

Any of these feats was beyond impossible to achieve for most, yet this silver-haired man, self-announced as Patrick Alexander King, Ruler of All and Master of Beyond, completed both without exercising so much of an effort, let alone breaking a sweat.

Everyone looking at Patrick through the magical displays felt both dread and exhilaration, dread because of how demonically powerful Patrick was, and exhilaration because Patrick didn't seem to be an evil demon or something craving worldly destruction.

…

At King Tech HQ, Dylan Ludwick sat with a hand over his mouth as he stared at the massive holograms with disbelief. Even though he expected his boss to be a powerful person, it wasn't to the extent where he could single-handedly defeat the entire world, and that's without utilizing a single droid or technology of his creation.

Patrick's figure was shown, his body endlessly radiating an overwhelming yet majestic aura. His silver hair lazily fluttering with the gentle wind, and his black and gold suit pulsating with energy like a beating heart.

"Ludwick," Suddenly, Patrick's voice sounded in Ludwick's ear. Ludwick hurriedly replied, "At your command, sir."

"Commence with the final plan, begin the conquering of the solar system, and utilize the King XZ droids if necessary. I want every planet on this solar system owned by King Tech at day's end. Also move to phase three, the recruitment of every awakened warrior on Earth. I have conquered this planet and its solar system."

Patrick commanded, with Ludwick instantly heeding his words as he brought out a holographic screen of plans, listing all of Patrick's phase strategies.

"As you wish, sir. Commencing phase three immediately."

…

At the scene in New York, the magical displays slowly faded into the void, vanishing from the scene. Patrick and Athena were the only ones now hovering over the destroyed city of New York. Athena stepped and hovered beside her man, her body ceaselessly permeating with godly yet unknown energy and aura.

"Did I ever mention how arousing your manly display of strength and power makes me?" Athena said as she looked at Patrick with a sly smile.

"I would question if you weren't." Patrick said with a slight tempting smirk.

But then he turned and looked in the distance and said, "Stop hiding in the space fabric and present yourself, little time traveler," his words seeming to be directed to someone afar, despite there being no one.

Suddenly, the space wobbled and shattered, revealing L, the female figure from Area 51. Revealed from the space fabric was a young and extremely gorgeous woman with perched red lips, reddish-like hair, and an athletic yet curvy physique. She hovered 5'10" tall as she breathed heavily, as if out of breath from defending against something formidable.

With a mere glance at the woman, Patrick gained every piece of information there is to know about her, and Grace also displayed her information via his system interface.

[ Subject: Lenia Nathasha Ludwick]

[Origin: Born September 20, 9926. Location: King City, Jupiter, United Cosmic Federation of King]

[Abilities: Teleport, Space Fabric Control …]

[Background: Born with a 312 IQ in the Ludwick royal family, subjects to the Grand King, Patrick Alexander King, Lenia Ludwick…]

Looking at the young woman, Athena commented, "9926 huh, A future citizen and subordinate of ours I believe."

"Yes," Patrick replied.

Seeing the couple staring at her with impassive faces, the young woman hurriedly drifted forward as she kneeled and bowed before them. On bent knees and a bowed head, the woman said,

"It's an honor to meet you, Grand King, Progenitor, and Grand Queen, Goddess Athena. I am Lenia Nathasha Ludwick, seventy-ninth generation descendant of the grand Duke, Dylan Ludwick. I humbly present myself before you."

"I know who you are, little princess; you are a long way from home." Patrick said as the young woman's body suddenly levitated from her kneeling position.

"I'm grateful for the grand king's benevolence in sparing me. From the ancient archives, it stated, A mere sound vibration wave from you could pulverize planets and solar systems; I would not have survived if you hadn't wished it." Lenia said with a calm demeanor.

Patrick and Athena remained silent as the girl spoke. Looking at the watch on the girl's left wrist, Patrick said, "I see you solved the time equation I left on the blueprint for the Time Matrix watch," as the watch detached from the woman's wrist and flew towards him.

Holding the watch, he continued, "although stacked with flaws,"

"Anyways, let's go home first." 'Grace, you don't mind cleaning up this mess, do you?'

"Not at all, Master. Commencing the complete restoration and revival of all humans."

Patrick said as their view started changing from hovering mid-air to inside the majestic throne room of a godly castle built purely of blue gold crystals, the castle was situated under water, making the outside serene and heavenly as tens of groups of fish, whales, and sharks happily circled the massive structure, which constantly brimmed with godly energy.

Simultaneously, Athena's infinity eyes slightly brimmed bright as a wave of energy washed the entire planet, her system sounding simultaneously.

[Absolute Passive skill: Absolute Reality Manipulation, utilized]

"This will prevent you and future generations from ever challenging him, or you will just be canon fodders for the slaughter."

…

The once-destroyed city of New York suddenly reformed, and with its restoration, it brought about billions of humans and awakened warriors who died in the chaos or were wiped out by Patrick.

In an instant, the city was restored, even restoring the buildings and architecture previously destroyed by the demons or in the event. The awakened humans found themselves standing in a bunch, crowded and clustered, with each observing their bodies as if seeing a ghost.

"What the hell! Didn't I die just now when I crashed? How come I'm still alive?" Said a man as he observed his body, his mind ransacked with doubt and disbelief.

"All I remember is that silver-haired man's face before everything suddenly went blank darkness. Did we all really die?" Stated by a female warrior as she exchanged gazes with the surrounding billions of awakened stacked together like sand grains.

Everyone regained their consciousness and recognition as they each expressed their disbelief individually. Even the pilots that exploded inside the fighter jets found themselves among the resurrected billions.

But suddenly, a sharp wave of energy pierced straight into the minds and natures of everyone at the scene. This same scenario occurred for every living being and thing on the planet. In their minds were integrated instincts, which downloaded Patrick as the ultimate predator.

Like fight, flight, or freeze, installed in all humans and creatures was now the animalistic instinct to never annoy Patrick, let alone challenge him.

…

Inside the underwater castle, L's body steadily levitated and stood, looking ahead of her were two thrones, a pitch-black throne with little to no description, and beside it was another purely constructed of golden blue godly energy.

As they arrived in the chamber, Athena's figure was already on her throne, her legs crossed with a gaze of infinite clamor and purity. But unlike his wife, Patrick steadily paced towards his throne, the wristwatch in hand as he spoke.

"There are two reasons preventing me from erasing you right now. One, because you are a descendant of Ludwick, and two…" Patrick halted as she slightly turned his head to the left and continued, "The second seems to be your reason for traveling seven thousand years into the past, working with the Americans, and daring to challenge me."

"I never dared challenge you, Progenitor. As that would be going against my existence and disrespecting the Grand King and the Sacred Order set by my ancestor, Grand Duke Ludwick, I was merely using the Americans to hasten my encounter with you, Grand King."

"I only plead for the Grand King's audience and guidance, and I shall bring about my extinction after."

Lenia Ludwick hurriedly knelt as she screamed with a horrified face, her body trembling, barely able to maintain her balance.

Listening to the young woman, Patrick reacted, "Hmm," as he threw the wristwatch behind him, the watch falling on the ground and dragging before Lenia. Lenia remained motionless as she dared not utter a sound, let alone reach for the watch.

Patrick continued and reached his throne; he said, "Grace, provide me everything from now till the end of time for this planet and its timeline and all its possibilities," as he majestically sat on his throne. He rested his chin on his left fist with his right hand placed over Athena's thick thighs.

Simultaneously, Patrick's eye's brimmed with light, receiving all the information requested. Despite the endless information of futures and possibilities, Patrick's reaction remained unchanged; it was as if to him, nothing mattered.

"Rise, Lenia. I just massacred and resurrected billions of humans who think themselves my enemies; I have no appetite for another extinction, especially not that of my future great grandniece." Patrick said as Lenia's body casually levitated and stood.

Looking at the young woman, her features resembling those of Dylan Ludwick and Natasha Page combined, Patrick slightly chuckled and murmured, "And you said you have little time for romance, how ironic."

He then continues to say, "I know you came here for a wish; now, state your wish and be on your way; the Time Guardian wouldn't be pleased with you carelessly swimming in his river."

Hearing this, Lenia bowed and knelt again as she spoke, "Oh Grand King, I, descendant of the Grand Duke, Dylan Ludwick, princess of the United Cosmic Federation of King, offers my soul as tribute, and in return, I wish for the Progenitor to forgive and pardon his royal highness, the Grand Duke, Dylan Ludwick, for his betrayal he has yet to commit."

Hearing this, a wide smile appeared on Patrick's face as he stared at the young woman. He retracted his arm from Athena's thighs as he shifted location to standing before the trembling Lenia Ludwick. He raised her head, holding her chin as he said,

"You have so little to offer yet are asking for so much. Don't you think that's an unbalanced exchange?"

"…" Lenia remained silent, her eyes shut, not daring to meet Patrick's gaze.

Letting go of her chin, Patrick walked past Lenia, placing his hands behind him as he said, "He may be a human, susceptible to manipulation and gullibility, but he is my subordinate none the less... Fine, little Lenia, I shall grant your wish, but in exchange, I don't want you interfering with time again; entering the world of time is a dangerous business; do you accept my terms?"

Patrick asked, his words sending an exhilarating wave of emotions in Lenia's heart, causing her to smile with vibrant eyes, her smile completely shattering her once previous cold and serious demeanor.

Consumed with happiness, Lenia tried to raise her head to thank Patrick, "Thank you, Grand King, I am eternally grateful," when she was immediately sucked into the void of time, taken away from the scene and back to her original timeline, the future Time Matrix watch evaporating simultaneously.

…

With Lenia gone, Patrick turned and looked at Athena as he smiled, but his smile widened even more as he then burst into laughter, "Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!"

Seeing her man laughing and understanding the reason, Athena also began chuckling and then erupted with laughter, saying, "Did she just ask for forgiveness for a rumor that will be made up hundreds of years after our departure?"

"Yes, she did, and she thinks she just saved Ludwick from eternal damnation. Now that's how you have fun; the future of this planet is so funny that a mere rumor warrants the need to time travel and plead for forgiveness."

The couple continued their laughter, their voices echoing in the massive throne chamber.
