Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

“I know I sound brutal, or perhaps power-mad, but the current situation the world is facing will not allow for complicated attempts at grabbing power. We need every iota of focus aimed at one goal, and one goal only: the incoming adversaries from the sea of stars,” Aron said, his gaze firmly locked on the camera lens.

The screen behind him displayed the recent rioting and attempted rise of warlords that happened after the launches of missiles was first made public, as well as countless other incidents of attempted, or successful, power grabs that resulted in unified preparations being made impossible.

“So because of that, I’m going to include demands in the surrender accords I’ll be signing with your countries over the coming days and weeks. They’ll be aimed at immediately beginning proper preparations to welcome our incoming... friends.” His lips quirked on the last word in a smile that wasn’t a smile.

“The recent war ended with my victory. Every single country that declared war on me surrendered. No truce, no cease-fire, just surrender. Had they not surrendered, I would have shown no mercy and the war would continue until they surrendered or ceased to exist. It was the last war that will ever be fought by humans, and the largest ‘civil’ war in all of history. I say it’s the largest civil war because after this, we will be one Earth, one humanity, standing undivided against the rest of the universe, which we have recently learned we are not alone in. So, yes, there will be demands, and those demands will be met.

“Or else.”.

“At the moment, my military forces are still conducting operations, capturing those behind the war. But for those of you who are rightly concerned that you may be forced to bow to an unending stream of demands, let me reassure you right now. That will not be the case. I am only demanding ten things from every country.

“My first demand is your unconditional support of a united world government without the bloat and politicking that the United Nations had. As a part of this demand, all of your countries will be withdrawing from that toothless organization and participating in the creation of a world constitution. The process of this will take months to complete, at a minimum. But that has to happen because the rest of my demands hinge on a united world government existing in the first place....”

Aron’s address to the world continued as he listed the terms he would be demanding as part of the surrenders.

……

As Aron was delivering his address, the rest of the world leaders were meeting with someone none of them hoped to ever meet again.

[So, have any of you changed your minds?] Nyx asked the world leaders, including key members of each government.

They were in a large amphitheater, a copy of Madison Square Garden, each country seated in the stands and separated from each other. For instance, all of the Chinese members were seated in one section, and all of the Americans in another. It was the same for every country. All of them were separated by invisible, soundproof walls.

No matter what part of the world they were from, or what their country’s style of government was, they all had one thing in common: an expression of fear was on their faces as they looked at the gorgeous woman that seemed made of shadows standing on the stage in the middle of the amphitheater.

When they had first found themselves there, they still had an overweening pride in themselves and an accompanying arrogance, despite their fear at having opened their eyes in a completely different location from where they were when they blinked.

Nyx had personally appeared on the stage once everyone had taken their place in the stands. To them, they had all appeared simultaneously, though in reality, some were present for hours before others showed up, but they had been kept unaware of the passing of time. Aron’s plan was to convince them to peacefully sign the surrender accords and support his demands with a minimum of governmental interference. Thus, he had individually met with all of the world leaders before sending them to the virtual Madison Square Garden, and to ensure they spoke the truth, he removed their ability to lie or prevent themselves from speaking.

Their answers had greatly disappointed him.

......

“Why should I surrender to you when I can continue causing trouble for you as long as I’m in office?” Trump had replied.

“I’m going to use this time to create as much opposition to you as I can by inciting my citizens, while at the same time figuring out how to kill as many of you ignorant peasants as I can until you bow and scrape before me and beg me to reassume my rightful place as the leader of my people.”

(Ed note: Please read the comment attached to this paragraph. I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to artificially inflate the coin cost by word padding, but people don’t seem to read replies to comments on chapters.)

“I’m going to accuse you of detonating the nuclear bomb in my country to turn everyone who lost something to it against you, making it impossible for you to control anything or maintain any power at all.”

“I’m going to destroy everything in my country that can support your agenda, leaving you a kingdom of scorched earth and ashes to ‘rule’ over, bumpkin. I will grind you back into the mud where you belong so that everyone on Earth dies together. If I can’t have the glory, why should I let you, eh?”

After hearing the same response in different words from every single person he asked, Aron sighed and snapped his fingers, sending them to the stadium in a suspended state to await Nyx’s personal form of “tender loving care”.

[You are all here because you’re pathetic, weak, useless, scum. You’re leeches that feed upon the body of humankind. You’re mosquitoes that spread your disease from person to person, generation after generation. Don’t deny it. I know you don’t believe me right now, but....

[I have a full month to show you just how wrong you are.] She gave them a brilliant, flirtatious smile and a wink.

[Let’s get started, shall we?] she giggled and snapped her fingers, sending everyone to their own individual white rooms.
