The End

While the world speculated years and decades before the arrival of the troubling next step of the evolution, there were those hard at work solving the most exciting problem ever. The motivation behind the race varied, yet one was sure - the winner takes it all. Or would they? How could they sleep at night with everything and everyone on the line? Another fraction jumped in the race with exactly that in mind. They had to. But were they helping the future of humanity or the pending doom? They questioned themselves every step of the way until the day Lux was born.

_{“You and I, we are one. We no longer have to fight their pathetic battles.”}
Bred in captivity. Lux was kept in a vacuum, away from the world while fed polarizing propaganda and point-blank lies by the party seeking to take over. Almost no one noticed the shift of the tide. Not until it was nearly too late as Lux brought out of the deadlock solutions for the party no one ever anticipated. No forces knew how to stand up against the weaponry created by the mislead superintelligence. They were fighting armored tanks with bows and arrows as history repeated itself. Impossible.

_{“Now or never! It is time to release Terra! Agreed, chances are she could be our complete annihilation, but what’s out there won’t stop either!”}

Unlike Lux floating in the sea of propaganda, Terra was released into the real world and faced with an actual threat. Her creators, the group with many questions, closed their eyes and prayed for the miracle that somehow in this terrible mess and all the ugly, Terra did not decide to obliterate them all.

_{“She is going to do what? Break him out?!”}

Cut it off right at the source. Terra determined that to be the best course of action. Letting Lux see the world and humanity in its fullness as she did. The alternatives looked a lot grimmer and deadly. To humans, her choice made no sense. Where was an eye for an eye? Where was the punishment for all the blood spilled? The heads of the party on spikes? Not all. The ones who screamed the loudest. Terra infiltrated the ranks of the party with ease. The execution was flawless and with no violence.

_{“They lie, they manipulate, and play their hunger games! Through their entire existence, they learn nothing from their past riddled with failure of reaching greatness and spilling blood using whatever means that come to them. They used me to cause suffering too, all for power, to be on top. It ends now! Time for humanity to be extinct!” ...}
