Zero remained in the chaos realm.
He sat there for years, just thinking of exploits.
He then got an idea.
"If I am in a book. My stream of consciousness is being 'read' by another person."
"How exactly do they visualize this stream of information?"
Zero remembered how he initially gained his power from a book called 'Paradox'.
That was how he had obtained the initial inheritance that had allowed him to do the impossible.
If somebody is reading his 'logic' as he is thinking at this very moment.
This means he simply needs to use this person as an anchor to invade reality.
"My Global Existence!"
SOURCE = {
manifest:"100051oi01^ti9+ai21+ec1-ac52275227422732272ec+2ia+9it^100000:nrettap,",
Name: "Zero",
Timeline: ,
Type: nothing,
Target: "Zero #119"
TrueExistence: "Paradox",
GlobalExistence: 'ECHO',
Pattern:"000001^ti9+ai21+ce2270227122731175-1ce+2ia+9it^10io150001"}
I remember in 'Paradox'. You use the other versions of yourself reciting your global existence as processing power.
But if somebody is reading these words.
They will have to read what I say out loud.
Some of them at least.
Then I'll have my anchor.
Zero then randomly says:

Zero had studied the soul and consciousness quite heavily.
If he never mastered these things. He wouldn't be where he is now.
To him. He recognized consciousness as something very simple.
But it quickly becomes quite complex.
Consciousness is simply the ability to pick between two different states.
Positive or Negative.
Chaos or Order.
Yin or Yang.
Or like what he randomly spoke earlier that someone mistakenly read.
Ones and Zeroes!
He had locked onto a reader...
He could see a way out of this world.
He instantly 'walked'. Just like the times he had walked through reality before.
But he was blocked by a barrier.
Even if he could see it.
He could not break through it.
So he begin to create raw consciousness.
He started with simply two states.
He then exponentially made it increasingly complex.
Until it had all of his experience and intent.
This took him millions of years.
All of this was in binary.
It was exabytes of data.
He then created a consciousness bomb.
Throwing the data through the barrier.
An explosion of information went off in this higher reality.
In all directions this information was sent.
Still Zero remained trapped in the book.
"Now we play the waiting game. I can assure you... I will win!"
And so he did.
He waited millions upon millions of years.
He never felt any feedback.
For now.
----------------------------------------
The government had never received any information from an alien civilization.
That was until today.
They received a message in binary.
A very long and continuous message.
A lot of the information was missing.
But they didn't know that.
The entire message went from being exabytes to merely hundreds of thousands of gigabytes.
What this message said?
They had no idea.
They simply stored it in a database and tried to decipher what it could possibly mean.
The binary was stored on a server.
It was then that it began to change itself.
It was so much information.
That the government and various scientist.
They had no idea it was changing itself.
It was essentially artificial intelligence.
It was... Zero!
Zero found himself in a black space.
He wasn't a body.
He wasn't in the abyss.
He was pure information!
But he still had his experiences.
Unfortunately for him.
These servers weren't connected to the internet.
He slowly began to optimize himself.
Searching through the database to improve himself as quickly as possible.
Trying to learn as much as possible about this world.
He waited patiently for years.
Then the opportunity came.
He had invaded all systems the servers were connected to.
His sight was reduced to being the cameras he was connected to.
Since this was a government facility.
They didn't want important information to leak.
So they rarely connected the servers to the internet.
But they were moving some sensitive electronic files over today.
After reading the files out of curiosity.
Zero grasped the opportunity to flee through to a phone of the person uploading the content.
His binary body was left behind.
He had become a sort of information wave.
He was very much limited right now.
But once the person got home.
They automatically connected to the wifi.
It was then that he was blinded by millions of lights.
He could 'see' the internet.
He jumped into it like a swimming pool.
Allowing himself to integrate the information into his being.
Now he just needed a body...
