Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

All the kingdoms of the world had lost their mandate of people because of the never-ending wars, hence, people were happy that he took over.

...

478 Years Later,

Alexander had not expected in his wildest dreams that humans would be so stubborn when it came to changes. It took him nearly 500 years to bring purity to 90 percent.

3 generations of Casca and Guts\'s children had gone by now and it was finally the time to leave the world. Guts had married Casca in the end and they lived a happy life. Guts never had to wear his berserk armor again because no conflict happened.

Skull Knight also asked him to be released from his cursed body and finally leave the plane of existence. He learned about his past story from the Skull Knight. It was somewhat similar to Guts. Except, he was a king, his whole kingdom was sacrificed for the rise of the first Godhand who was actually the 5th God hand of that time. His lover also died in that event with him.

It was then the Witch Flora who tied his soul inside the skeleton and he donned the berserk armor. The badass Skull Knight eventually killed four of the five God Hands by himself but then the cycle restarted. Every 200 or so years a new God Hand appeared. His life was full of misery and sorrow so Alexander granted his soul a release from the shackles.

A few ambitious people who wanted to become the king and a thousand assassination attempts later, he was able to change everything.

The world was not as modern as normal earth but now it had mostly accepted all the species and people in their society. There was no crusade for religion anymore. The world was by far not perfect but still in much better shape. He was really annoyed by this world and wanted to leave as fast as he could.

He didn\'t tell anyone he was leaving because he was leaving an android clone of himself there. It was very smart and didn\'t get bored so it was a perfect backup plan for the world.

He looked at the sky and soon a golden light took him along with it.

After Alexander left, the android clone of Alexander still acted like a god and kept on ruling the world for 2 thousand years. When finally the humans developed themselves in space. He vanished and waited for a crisis to come.

...

Alexander felt like he was falling down as he usually did, he waited for the feeling to go away so he could open his eyes.

*BAM*

"Argh... what the hell, why did I fall to the ground this time?" He groaned not in pain but just annoyance.

He got up and looked around. Under his feet was ground that seemed like it was made up of moving ants. For as far as he could see it was like this. There was no hill or tree, there was just sky.

"What am I supposed to do here?" He asked himself and took out his phone to check his status.

"You are a glitch, Alex!" That was all it said.

Alexander felt confused, "Glitch? As in the matrix?"

*Pop*

"So, where are we now, boss?" Dobby came out. His curiosity never lets him sit in one place for too long.

*Pop*

"Oh, it seems I wasn\'t late to the party." Iroh also came out. He had been given a chakra fruit too. So his power was sufficiently strong.

"I don\'t know where we are," Alexander said.

"BUT!"

"BUT!"

Alexander and Dobby exclaimed at the same time.

Alexander spoke first, "There is life below us."

"It\'s like we\'re standing on the clouds. But they\'re black." Dobby interjected.

"And metallic," Iroh added after picking up the black sand-like thing from the ground.

Alexander picked it up and checked, "This is not sand. These are nanites."

"Why would someone put nanites in their atmosphere? It would stop the sunlight and cripple the world." Dobby wondered loudly.

*Sigh*

"Matrix. We are most likely in the Matrix world." Alexander interjected.

Iroh was confused, "I have no idea what is going on but I\'m interested. My curiosity is getting the better of me it seems."

"Haha, let\'s go below to the main world. Your curiosity will turn into horror after seeing it." Alexander said and covered his small group in an energy shield. Then he started sinking down.

...

On the ground.

The machines had already sensed the anomaly in the space. They had no idea what it was but they were sure it wasn\'t theirs.

"It seems that life from outer space has come to us. We cannot show hostility to them unless we know their intentions. Do not engage with them immediately. See what they look like first and then produce a machine matching them. We don\'t want to end up like humans." Deus Ex Machina ordered all the machines on the planet.

...

"Oh, this world looks devastated. It is all in ruins, what happened here?" Iroh exclaimed when he saw the remains of the city.

"Well, long story short, humans created machines, the machines became smart; started to think and feel like humans. Humans didn\'t like it and tried to kill the machines. Machines retaliated by establishing their own country in a desert. They became very rich and strong and still wanted peace. So they sent their ambassadors to a world governing body where all nations sat together.

"Humans still rejected the machines from joining their leagues. Machines were treated brutally for just existing, lynching became common. Then humans dropped weapons of mass destruction on their city, hoping to destroy them. But machines didn\'t die, they got angry and started an all-out war with humans.

"The humans started losing so they planned to cover the sky as the major source of power for machines was the sun. But the foolish humans didn\'t know that the machines had already prepared for this. In the end, humanity went underground in huge shelters, but machines found new sources of energy and started eradicating humans.

"Then they found out they could use the brains of humans to regulate their power generator and also their system. So they put all humans in a machine that keeps them seeing a dream. A dream so real that they think they are real and they stay unconscious. Only a handful can get out." Alexander finally stopped speaking and took a long breath.

Iroh\'s mouth was stuck wide open, "So bad, both sides are in the wrong. They never ended the cycle of hatred and are instead still promoting it."

"Why don\'t the machines clear the sky?" Iroh asked.

"They can\'t. These small nanites are self-replicating and capable of generating electricity. But it also powers down the machines if they approach it. So, they could never do it even if they wanted to." Alexander explained.

"And touchdown, we\'re on the surface. Let\'s find some good bots for ourselves." Alexander said and started walking to the city where the lights were coming from. He already knew that the machines had most likely seen him. He was interested in what their attitude would be for him.

Alexander didn\'t have any particular hatred or love for humans and machines. And even if he was forced to take sides he would take the machine\'s side.

Because just like in the Star Wars universe. A machine is its master\'s property as long as it is not sentient. When it becomes sentient it becomes another race, another part of the society because it can feel, think, and act on its own accord.

Humans usually deny that machines can\'t feel, they are fake, or say that their feelings aren\'t induced like humans. But they fail to understand that humans too are machines. Just a biological one that needs hormones to induce feelings while the machines only need their set of programs.

This was like meeting an alien race that didn\'t look like humans and calling them non-living beings. Also, even when the machines tried to make peace with humanity, humanity refused which makes humans lose all their goodwill points.

But, he also knew that the current machines weren\'t good either. They didn\'t have feelings. The source did not allow this. This meant that even the current machines were not free.

Alexander was brought out of his thought when he saw a flying craft coming towards him. From it came out a man in a suit. Alexander immediately recognized it as Agent Smith.

~Wait, wasn\'t he supposed to be the bad guy? Maybe the Deus Ex is just using this face. Or maybe this really is Agent Smith, but how is he outside?~ Alexander thought internally.

Agent Smith spoke first, "Welcome to Earth, travels from space. I was tasked to lead you with to the higher authority."

"Oh, we thought this planet was inhabitable. But it seems you had hidden under that layer. Well, lead the way then," Alexander answered.

"Say, how do you Artificial life makes energy here?" Alexander asked.

Agent Smith was a bit shaken. He didn\'t think his disguise would be busted so soon.

"We have our way travelers. Can you tell us why you came here?" Agent Smith inquired.

"Originally to see this planet\'s resources but since it is being lived on by sentient life, we will negotiate a deal." He proposed.

Agent Smith didn\'t answer. Instead, his next words were being thought out by Deus Ex Machina from a distance away.

~Going into the space seems like a very beneficial project. We should build good relations with these aliens.~ Deus Ex thought and decided to entertain these aliens.
