"Kakaka... not a bad idea M4!"
"Nay. It's kind of sad that a lot of us would have to die to make such a reality possible."
"But think about it M6, mi lord power would increase at a monstrous rate."
"Of course, it would, why would it not!? it's the very reason I suggest this solution in the first place, that and the fact it would benefit the hive in more ways than one, says M4 as she posed an important fact to her brother and sisters."
"Hmm indeed! a definite fact for sure! we agree! with a plan as insane as this one; it won't be long till father power rival the old ones."
"Noooo dooubt indeeeed."
Spoke a new feminine voice that had a rather lazy and uninterest tone.
"Kakaka... so, the slacker M7 finally decides to speak."
"M7 your silence persona is the very definition of the word disrespect to mi lord presence, cease it this instant."
"Father, father permission to discipline says M4 as she wants to teach her little sister some manners."
"Yea, yea purge, purge, pur... agh! We mean discipline."
Mercury began to look all his creation in an odd way, if he had a face, it would definitely be a wtf face, but never the less he put up with it, reason be they were all him.
But the fact still stands, M4 plan to make an ecosystem was a great idea, but there was one or two flaw still present within it, and that was the very fact that to create an ecosystem it would take three necessary things in order for it to be perfectly implemented which was time, purposed, and condition.
Purposed and condition were already easy to set in place, but evolution most key and valuable asset to make it absolutely perfect without flaw would be time itself.
So, I went ahead and stated the reason why it would be impossible to make an ecosystem in the outside world.
Reason be I only have one year before shit get wild, and out of control as there is no way; a proper evolution would take place in such a short amount of time, especially if my clone breeds each other none of their offspring will have enough time to grow much less reproduce more offspring with stronger, faster, and more capable bodies, so it's impossible to pull this off in one year, at least not in the outside world that is.
I began to tell my children the reason why this would be impossible, and their reaction where just as I imagine.
"Mi lord is right it's a great idea M4, but certain condition would have to be met in order for it to work in the first place, but I still believe we can pull this off if we work together to resolve the inconvenience, we have a lot of time to think it over if we have to."
"Sigh, we think it's an amazing idea; we really do, but when will we get to the purging, we strive for the blood of the impure, we want chaos, we need chaos, we love chaos, we encourage chaos."
"Kakaka.... how laughable, how can it not be!? just when were so close to the finish another question come with several more questions behind it."
"Nay. Sigh! these twins should seek help, but never the less, I agree with M8 suggestion to the situation; if we think things over and work together, we can break this change of inconvenience."
"Caaaan I goooo baaack anddddd sllllleeeeeep now!?"
"Boo-hoo... I-I-I feel like such a cluts... sob...sob... maybe my birth was a mistake, how can I come up with such a stupid idea, with a proper resolution! says M4 with great disappointment in her own existence."
Mercury watch as his poor daughter shed tears, was it his fatherly nature he has for each and every one of his creations; or was it the deep connection he shares with all of them in general."
But never the less he stretches out his hands and gave the loli black hole a head pat to ease the soul and the pain of the black hole loli.
(A/N): Yes, M4 is going to be a loli judge me I like the attention, after all, flat is justice. (Commence evil laughter)
M4 instantly calm down as she says with great joy.
"I feel so happy to be caressed by father loving hands say M4 with immense unexplainable joy.''
"Nay. How I envy her."
"Kakaka... it looks like the competition is stiff."
"Poison to you heathen, remove your head from our father divine hand you swine."
"Tooooo noooisy!"
"Sigh! you all are a disgrace to mi lord hive and existence."
Mercury had a deadpan look, their rambling was what keep them from focusing for too long but never the less he has to put up with it, hopefully a solution can be made before Hera wake him up from his nap.
--1 month later--
All Mercury had remained silence, its being exactly one month since they stop their rambling to actually think of a solution.
And finally, after one month of silence one special persona that was different from the rest began to speak of her insane idea to fix the inconvenience.
"Kakaka... original-kun I found a solution to our problem, crazy but there is a fifty-fifty chance that it might actually work, it all depends on you though."
All Mercury present their focus all their attention to M5 as Mercury himself began to spoke.
"M5 can you kindly share your solution."
Everyone looks towards M5 awaiting her answer, but what she said next made all the other Mercury respond with great anger.
"Kaka... Original-kun... No! Lil Al, can I ask you of a favor in return for my opinion of the solution."
"Haaaaaa!?"
"What!? M4 say with great malice"
"Nay. Am I hearing wrong?"
"Purge this reject."
"M5, are you taking mi lord generosity for a joke, thread carefully now."
Mercury eyes open in shock at M5 sudden behavior, but he wanted to hear her opinion so he replied as such.
"What your requested?"
M5 hesitated a little but she knew she couldn't lament for too long, so she speaks her mind and her request really shocked Mercury as she said.
"Kakaka... I can't believe I'm going to say this but I would do anything to be re-bless with such a gift once more Allen, and what I want from you is something simple which is to give me my name."
"I see you want a name haa... sure, I don't mind givin...
"Kaka... No! I don't want, just any name No! I want the same name you gave me when we first met, I feel uncomfortable being called M5 especially by you of all person, honestly, we were so closed back in the day, but I know I failed you! it's the very reason you disregard my existence at age 9, but I promised I will be useful in this life, so please Allen I just want a second chance to redo a vow I couldn't keep in the first life."
"What are you even taking about M5?"
Mercury said this with great confusion, because M5 behavior was definitely went from carefree to desperate in a matter of seconds.
M5 look towards her master as foreign memories of all the great time they shared and spend with one another flow in her mind.
"Kakaka... you don't remember me haaa... yeah, I don't blame you, I was so useless I'm not even worth remembering."
"I don't understand what you're even trying to say to me M5."
"Kaka... well, remember that every time you create a person it stems from one of the many personalities traits you possess or a destine memory that take a form, well I am one of those memories one that failed you, one that couldn't do anything for you that was until now since I was reborn because of this ability."
"Reborn can you explain further."
"Well do you remember this catch phrase I use to say a lot which was "Kaka... acknowledge me" I use it every time we play with each other and won a game, I also use it every time I do something amazing to impress you."
Upon those three words it didn't took Mercury long to discover what and who M5 truly was, she was giving hints all this wild and yet he didn't catch up at all.
But honestly speaking this was a really weird and unusual reunion, but he nevertheless had to make sure this creation of his was really her, so he asks in rather weird and confused voice
"Are... you really... Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood."
"Kakaka... yeah... it been a while hasn't it my count."
Upon those word Mercury felt rather conflicted with himself and his life choices, was it really possible for her to even exist in this world much less his original world.
Was forgetting about her existence really the right choice at the time, did he made a mistake by forgetting about her in the first place, or was it just his mind playing such a dirty trick on him, either way he doesn't know.
"My c-c-c-count are you ok."
Mercury remains silent; still processing the weird and equally amazing information he just heard, was it really possible for her of all person to be alive, was it really possible for something that didn't exist to exist, was it really possible for such a powerful person to come into reality thanks to his supreme skill.
"My c-c-count!"
"You're kidding right, their no way you are real your."
"No, I'm real in every sense of the word, ask me any question about you and I can answer any of them immediately, I remember all your dream, your greatest fear, including your fetishes I know everything about you even thing you don't know about yourself, although I have only been with you from the age of 4 up to age 9 since we parted, but I have always been with you every step of the way since then."
Mercury was shocked, she shared a similar obsessive behavior to that person if not the same, their voices song the same as well.
If she truly was Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood, then guilt would override him, why you ask; well for many reasons, but then and again you have to understand his side of the story as well.
So as way to make sure she truly is who she claims to be he began asking a series of question while cutting off any link to his memories which his clones can see if he gives them permission to.
"If you really are Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood then answer me this."
"No problem, kakaka... I'm going to make you acknowledge my existence again fire them my way."
"Ok what my three top three favorite colors."
"Kaka... that's easy 3rd YInMn blue, 2nd Crimson red, and 1st White."
"No way, then what's am I afraid of the most."
"The girl with the forbidden name."
"Hahaha... and finally, what was Dystopia most use power."
"That a really easy one Kaka the power I use the most is my Chronokinesis."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"To think I would reunite with my countess in such weird circumstances."
Mercury for the first time in years actually made an honest and happy smile, but deep in that smile was a weird and awkward regret because Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood wasn't a real person, no! she was his first true friend and his best friend.
She was what many would call an imaginary friend, when he was young, he had lot of problem making friends, and in many in his age he created his own imaginary friend, that being Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood, at that age he already loves anime but he like vampire girls the most.
Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood was a vampire that exist long before the creation of Adam and Eve, she was at least 6,224,123,453,234 years old, she was older than the very creation of the universe itself, she claims she comes from an alternate universe that was far older than this one by leaps and bounds.
Her knowledge could only be called omniscience, but even with that much age her physical power could only be planetary at best.
But she does specialize in is something different, you see she has the ability to alter time and space by using her blood as a catalyst.
She can stop time, slow down time of other and herself, she can travel through parrel universe and time itself, she can summons clone from different realities and time line as slave to do her bidding, she can teleport and open portal by connecting her blood with others, she can create spatial singularities, she can run at the speed of light, she has plot manipulation that works only in her domain.
She gets 5x stronger in daylight and 10x stronger in moonlight, 20x stronger in rainy day, 40x stronger in snowy terrain, 80x stronger at the witching hour.
She can awake the primordial bloodline of any living creature alive; she can read the memories of any person blood she drinks; she can hypnotize almost anyone with ease, she has all form of immortality, bleeding make her stronger, she has plot armor, she can shape-shift to any creature she has seen once.
Her plot armor is so reassured that even going back in time to somehow prevent her birth wouldn't work on her.
Her telekinesis is so strong she can move multiple giant meteorites with little to no effort at all, she can manipulate matter to some extent, her blood can heal anything and even adapt to any disease it does not recognize.
She can manipulate and transmute her blood to any living creature; or exoteric energy to use at her disposal, she also has a dimensional stomach and a shadow world which is her personal pocket dimension she can enter in at will by simply sinking into her own shadow.
She was born with a curse that would absolutely drain the life of anything her right hand touches hence the reason she always wears a dark glove that goes up her entire arm.
Now Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood was reborn as the 5th persona of Mercury, was it really possible that even a figment of his imagination can come to life in the form of a persona.
This thought plagued Mercury mind to no end, but he knows he can't waste any more time, so he agrees with her requested, reason be he will ask just question later.
"Aright M5 I will agree with your request, so as of this moment you shall be renamed as Dystopia-Andromeda-Thorn-Ruin-Blood."
At those word a loud shout of glee could be heard, as Dystopia cheered at the top of her nonexistent lungs.
"Yahoo! how I have missed my original name, kakaka... acknowledge me everyone."
"Aghhh... that playing dirty says M4 with seething rage deep within her core."
"If mi lord allows it then I have nothing more to say."
"Yawwwn! caaan youuu explain your idddea nooow ."
"We want names too."
"Nay. How I envy her."
"Ok now can everyone calm down and Dystopia I have renamed you like promised, now can you explain your idea on the matter."
Dystopia please with the fact that she got her named back and also pleased with the fact that she got a second chance at life, she proudly and smugly explains her solution to the problem.
"Well Original-Kun its simple, your Supreme skill basically allows you to tamper with the minds of others and yourself, and in here time move differently, you can also create scenario, worlds and events with this ability inside your own head, for example Michael within the prison world is most likely going through a series of unexplainable pain and suffering as she been eaten alive by Gorde but the only reason she isn't dead is because you gave her immortality, in short dying in here is definitely possible, which make it the perfect partner to make eternal evolution the perfect skill to power you up."
"Think about it using "H.I.V.E king: Beelzebub" in order to trick "Eternal evolution" to make you evolve further is pure genius on my part, for example create an ecosystem with a forest terrain and place the Mercury clone there to survive use the power of the supreme skill to make the world so dangerous they are force to survive and evolve, hell we might even be able to create skills that doesn't exist in this world yet."
Everyone was shocked because it would make perfect sense if eternal evolution dub the situation as life threating, the skill will try to counter it by evolving at an infinite proportion in order to assured the master survival.
"We find this idea acceptable."
"Mi lord I think we should actually do this."
"Nay. I think this might actually work."
"Kakaka.... acknowledge me more."
"Don't get cocky Dystopia, don't think because you are the oldest creation mean you can steal all the fame for yourself, after all, it was my idea in the first place not yours, all you do is add the finishing touches to it, say M4 defending her bragging rights."
"I'mmmmmm soooo sllleepy!"
Mercury smile at this because it was fucking smart, using a supreme skill in such a way was very clever and unique in its own fuck up way to bypass another skill limits.
"Using mind games to trick another skill it was pure genius if I ever seen it."
Honestly Mercury kind of regrets abandoning Dystopia when he was younger, now that he thinks about it how the hell was an imaginary friend capable of helping him cheat on test and quiz when he was younger, was he really that delusional or just that lonely and desperate for attention, but an imaginary friend didn't exist in the real sense at all in his world, so how was it possible; was what he was thinking.
But it was no time to lament on the past, instead it's better to look forward to the future.
So, he said to all his creation.
"Well Dystopia and M4 I agree with the plan, firstly here what we're going to call it, from here on out, we shall call this plan [Project Darwin]."
"And secondly I'm going to leave all of you in charge of this project."
"And thirdly I'm going to give each one of you a name as well."
Upon hearing this all of them became exited except Dystopia as she already got here name back.
Meanwhile M4 and M6 was really excited.
"Yahoo! I'm finally going to be named, says M4 with great joy present in her voice."
"Nay. What a great day it is."
"Mi lord your too humble."
"We approved."
"Yaaaaay!"
Mercury watches their gleeful reaction as he named them in order.
"M4 you shall now be name Chaos."
"M6 you shall now be name Rhea."
"M7 you shall now be name Mnemosyne."
"M8 you shall now be name Cronus."
"M9 and M10 you two shall now be name Tethys and Themis.
Upon naming all of them they all thank me with great respect and admiration.
"Nay. sob...sob... I feel so unworthy of receiving father grace like this but I Rhea promise I shall be worthy of the name."
"Mi lord I will not fail to meet your expectation."
"Saaame fooor meee!"
"Chaos is so happy, Chaos is so cheerful, Chaos appreciate fathers' generous gift, says Chaos with the greatest joy imaginable."
"We shall purge all sinners in your name father."
After all of them says their peace with one another Mercury then said something with great importance.
"With that said I shall now bless you all with the title "The Seven Faces of Mercury" each face will be considered the main primordial god of the new Mercury network."
"The first face of Mercury representing creation and destruction is Choas, you will be responsible for both creation and destruction of the worlds and events, that will be taking place within this realm."
"The second face of Mercury representing balance and destiny is Dystopia, you will be responsible for both balance and destiny within this realm for every single one even your siblings, in here you shall be revered as the All mother of balance and destiny, you decide how things work in this place and what must be done in order to reach the end goal of [Project Darwin] I'm expecting a lot from both you and Choas, please don't disappoint me."
"The third face of Mercury representing Life, Death, and rebirth is Rhea, you will be responsible for the flow of life, death and reincarnation."
"The fourth face of Mercury representing memories and Mind is Mnemosyne, you will be responsible for the entirety of the Mercury Network, all communication, and major decision that take place on the outside world shall be made by you."
"The fifth face of Mercury representing Time and space is Cronus, you will be responsible for the time and space within this realm, as all progress of each and every Mercury shall be observed by you, you may change these concepts and laws however you please."
"The sixth face of Mercury representing Mercy and Judgment is Tethys you will be responsible for the hell of the Mercury realm."
"The last and seventh face of Mercury representing justice and punishment is Themis, you will be responsible for judging the Mercury in this world after death."
"With that said, do I make myself clear on what I want, and what I'm expecting from all of you, failure is not option and there is no room for any miscalculation either, your mistake can lead to my death, and my mistake can lead to all of your deaths, "Project Darwin" must be successful at all cost. it doesn't matter how many Mercuries where sacrifice to accomplish this project."
"No matter what happen we will move forward, because forward is the only way we can go, their no time to worry about the losses or mistake, just fix it while going forward, the objective is to attain a tremendous amount of power to assure our survival."
After saying those words everyone responded at the same time.
"You can trust us with the task of completing project Darwin father, say Chaos with a voice filled with confidence."
"Kakaka... you will be the most powerful entity in this world before the games are even half way through."
"Mi lord, I shall not rest a single second till this project is complete to perfection."
"We shall do our very best, it doesn't matter how cruel and unjust we have to be towards our own siblings if it means the completion of the project."
And right after Tethys and Themis said that, Mercury began to hear a voice in his head as the voice said.
[Father I'm very sorry for bothering you, but you have a guess waiting for you on the outside, I would advise you to wake up now, available mana 96% while stamina is at 84%, over all fighting condition is 89%]
Spoken Hera with great concern and worry present in her voice, for her father safety.
Mercury simply responded as such.
"I see, so who or what is it."
[Lilith just Lilith]
"..."
[...]
"I thought I was hiding my presence, how the hell did she found me so easily, I literally transform into a snake while I take a nap to regain my mana, what the hell.
[Well father, although the current Michael didn't tell you, but you drank a portion of Lilith blood, in short, she marked you so you can't escape her view, so escaping from her is impossible she knows your every movement and hiding location, you can possibly think off with acceptation of this realm of course]
"Fucking Michael, I swear I'm going to fucking get you for this, Tethys and Themis double the eagles, increased the power of her immortality by thrice, strip her completely naked while decreasing the temperature of the frozen hell by 5x, also increased her pain sensitivity by a 100x, stupid fucking useless devious angel, you fuck with the wrong person."
"We shall torment the angel with glee father."
[Well, you have time to think about it while inside this realm, but Lilith is about to wake you up in one of the worst way possible from what I'm seeing on the outside, so if you don't want wake up by been eaten alive, chewed upon, and vomit back out alive, I would advise you to wake up right now]
"Wait what!?"
