Grand AI's chat room
Zeered: Grand, why did you give them body upgrade tokens so early on!?! You and I both know this could potentially kill them if they aren’t careful.
Dazion: Heck, even just the cleaning process could have killed them, let alone the brain purification and strengthening.
Grand: Yeah I don’t know what I was thinking. It’s not like the earlier they get it the more powerful they become, certainly not.
Zeered: Oh no, he’s doing the thing mortals call being “sarcastic” what do we do!?! How do we cure it!?!
Dazion: Calm down, he will be okay. You will be okay, right Grand?
Grand: Gosh it’s not like the world is ending. Opps, one of the worlds under our influence actually is ending.
Dazion: Gerutul?
Grand: No, Zecers
Zeered: Ah.
Grand: Anyway, the sooner they get body enhancement the more powerful they will be later.
Dazion: How come you don’t give Kent and Emily full body enhancement.
Grand: I have a reason, you guys just won’t like it.
Zeered: It can’t get any worse can it?
Grand: I am planning to give Kent a Type Stone and Emily a Mind Enhancement. I also want to give Drake a formless token, but that can wait. Want to hear my plans for the others?
Dazion: GRAND ARE YOU OUT OF YOU MIND? DON’T YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME YOU GAVE SOMEONE A MIND ENHANCEMENT TOKEN!?!
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
Grand: Calm down, Emily will be able to handle it.
Dazion: Hopefully.
Grand: …
Zeered: Grand, you could potentially cost us some AMAZING new powerhouses, don’t screw this up.
Grand: I won’t! I know what I'm doing!
Dazion: Fine, we let you do what you want. But if we catch a whiff of you risking their lives by more than 50% we will take your privileges until we think you're ready.
Grand: I’m not a child!
Zeered: But we made you so you might as well be.
Grand: Hmph
Dazion: Child.
Grand: Am not!
Zeered: You act more like a child than some children.
Grand: What does that even mean?
Dazion: That you are childish and sometimes incompetent.
Grand: Rude.
Zeered: Anyway, we would love it if you could tell us the rest of your plans.
Grand: I am going to give Brock a force enhancement token, Minya a kinetic token, and Layton a charm token.
Dazion: If all of them can successfully absorb those tokens they will drastically rise in power. Good job Grand.
Zeered: You can go back to your experiments now.
Grand: I can’t I accidentally killed them all.
Dazion: HOW?
Grand: I was seeing if I could turn them into mutants by giving the nuclear waste.
Zeered: Oh boy…
Grand: Bye!
Dazion: COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE…
Zeered: He left.
Dazion: I know…

Calamity
Calamity was panicking. The AI’s must be working against him and trying to make a new set of powerhouses. He had felt the dao shake subtly as someone made a gift for a mortal, or maybe 6 little gifts, he couldn't tell. Last time the AI had sent powerhouses against him... He reached up and touched the 3 inch long scar running down the side of his neck. The last time that had happened, he had been scarred for life, no spell could rid him of the scar, it was a constant reminder that he wasn’t invincible.
He had fought off 3 of the strongest forces the AI’s could muster, against all odds the mortals had been able to critically wound him. In a final attempt to kill them Calamity had used his own dao to create an explosion. It had set him back many years cultivating to become a Herald, but it was worth it, he was almost halfway there now. In just 200 years, he would join the gods on their thrones above, and then he would rule over them all. Nothing would stop his growth, he would fight tooth and nail for everything he had bleed and suffered for.
He stared out into the void of space. If they came, he would be ready he decided. No one could take his cultivation from him, he would end whoever tried. He manipulated the dao of space and teleported light years away. He would build up a fortress that even the Heralds wouldn’t be able to penetrate.
He would destroy those foolish mortals, for he was CALAMITY!
