Neurolink System in the Modern World

Chapter 514 Multiple Steps Ahead

As soon as I made my declaration, the Giant attempted to muster up all its strength to send a message using it's consciousness , but it was a lost cause.

With me taking control of this territory, not even a miracle could salvage its fate.

The situation boiled down to basic logic, like trying to race a bike against a rocket.@@@@

My power was the rocket, zooming ahead at sound breaking speed, while the Giant's strength was more like the pedaling speed of a bike. Find your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire

No matter how hard it tried, it was clear who would reach the finish line first.

"Don't waste your time," I spoke casually, leaning back in my chair as I observed its futile struggles. "You can't do anything without my permission."

The giant, realizing the futility of resisting me, fell silent for a while before finally speaking.

"How can an Architect exist alone? That's impossible..." Its voice trailed off, still clinging to the notion that I was one of those blue guys.

I couldn't really blame the it.

After all, the being who created me had basically used the Architects blueprint to form my existence.

In truth, I had already surpassed those race in terms of overall design.

The only reason this Giant assumed I was an Architects was because that was the strongest type of power it could imagine .

"And why can't I exist alone?" I inquired, not inclined to either deny or confirm its assumptions.

With no reply leaving its mouth, I felt compelled to assert myself a bit.

It might think that I'm the epitome of benevolence, which was true like 99.99% of the time.

But when that minuscule 0.01% decided to make an appearance, even the devil from those religious texts would cower in fear.

SNAP!

Snapping my fingers, our positions suddenly shifted, and now it found itself standing in the palm of my hand.

"By the way, if I like your answer, I can grant you a physical body. It would be a simple task for me to do so." I added, shifting to a carrot-and-stick approach,

I first presented the stick, demonstrating that I could end its existence at any moment, emphasizing its insignificance.

I went through all that trouble ?

Knowing that a god's consciousness was likely to possess a very strong ego, I understood that mere threats would not be effective.

From the very beginning, I had taken everything into consideration.

The casual conversation, the display of my full strength, the transformation into a giant, the intimidation - it was all part of the mind games I was cooking.

And then, offering it a way out was the final move in my strategic play.

"Don't be shy," I paused, letting my words sink in. "I know you must want your own body" I continued, my tone coaxing.

"You're intelligent, after all . Your real body created you for what? To spend your entire existence guarding Mirro? A mere tool, whose sole purpose was a glorified teleportation device? Don't you crave more out of life?"

The giant's expression shifted visibly after I tempted it.

'That's it,' I mused, a sly grin creeping onto my face. 'Just accept my offer like a good little pet.'

Playing with the consciousness of a godlike being was satisfying in itself.

I enjoyed the opportunity to outmaneuver such an entity.

In moments like these, I couldn't help but pat myself on the back.

I mean, I was inhumanely smart and cunning, so much so that sometimes I even wondered if anyone could come close to matching my wit.

"Alright," it finally gave in, just as I had expected.

"That's a wise choice. You won't regret making me your friend," I chuckled, and snapped my fingers.

The scenery shifted once again, and we found ourselves back at the same table, sitting in the middle of the vast, clear ocean.
