Chapter 13 - Chapter 12: Perfect Human

"I... am... Atomic."

Those are words I heard from one of my favorite characters in media. His ideals were very similar to mine; there's barely any contrast. He wanted to become a hero who could save everyone so he trained to the peak of humanity, mastering every martial art in existence as well as honing his mind and body. He seemed to be the pinnacle of perfection but things took a turn when he realized that in the end...

"He was just human."

Out of frustration, he jumped in front of a truck expecting a miracle and luckily, he got it but hey.... that's not the point of my soliloquy. Those words...

"...in the end...am just human..."

Those words, that singular sentence. I hate it more than anything. I can't stand it; those are the words of mediocre people. I worked hard day and night to reach this level I am. The level of Perfection. Which is why I strive for perfection and nothing less, those who don't believe in perfection are nothing more than inferior beings; no different than monkeys.

That is the point of my soliloquy, a peek into the mind of the King of the World.

THE PERFECT HUMAN, Alex Dae.

A knock was heard from the door, interrupting Dae's thoughts.

"Who's there?", he asked seemingly annoyed.

"It's me sir.", a bold voice answered.

"Come in."

The door opened and revealed a well-built man with two cyborg arms and shades over his eyes.

"Mr. Yanchimaru...what brings you here?"

"The World Leaders have arrived.", he said.

Dae sighed as he got up from his chair and walked towards the door, "Let's get this over with, shall we?"

In a large room with transparent walls which allowed one to see the marvel of space. At its center, a large round table resided, around it sat the World Leaders.

Yes, the World Leaders, the ones who control planet Earth.

Alex Dae walked into the room, the instant he opened the door. Everyone turned to look at him.

"Good day."

"Finally.", the president of a certain country remarked as he snorted.

Ignoring him, Dae took a seat and crossed his legs as he glanced over the room.

"Let's get down to business, shall we?"

"Yes Indeed.", the president of Germany spoke.

"The problem we came to address today is Planet Earth.", The president of Switzerland said, "Earth is in danger of destruction due to the threat of celestial bodies. Why? You ask it's because of Cybrmille."

"Exactly!", a female president exclaimed as she slammed her hands on the table to emphasize her statement.

China president continued, "Let me explain, Cybrmille has now become comparable to Earth in the sense that it uses magnetic propulsion and the manipulation of dark matter and dark energy to keep afloat. The magnetic field generated by Cybrmille has caused other celestial bodies to get attracted to it and is thus reeling in it towards Earth. No matter how far away you are from the Solar System, things become a problem when the attracted objects are as fast as the speed of light. Earth has already sustained damage; I hope you understand."

"Then abandon Earth.", Dae said without remorse.

"Do you not understand?!", Switzerland president yelled in frustration, "Earth is our motherland and this chrome dome has brought nothing but misfortune to it!"

"Earth is going to be destroyed if you keep running this useless ball!"

"No one finds this utopia of yours enticing.", the queen of the United Kingdom spoke.

Dae who wore a dark expression looked up to her.

"Are you done? Good.", Dae said ignoring all their remarks.

"Cybrmille is a utopia I built for my sake and my sake alone. I have no intention of adhering to any of your callous comments."

"Alex Dae.", the US president spoke.

"I value capitalism...but this is beyond acceptable. You showed up at several conferences putting ideas of a utopia and convinced us, we tolerated you as long as you yielded results. Tolerated even your dark experiments.", he said emphasizing the last part whilst having a serious expression.

"If you push us any further than this, we will expose your nasty crimes.", he threatened Dae.

"So what?", Dae asked nonchalantly.

"Huh?"

"Go ahead."

"What?!"

"You do know what this means, right?", a leader spoke in a threatening tone.

"So, you expose me so what, for starters, do you think the people will believe you? With all your propaganda about bringing down Cybrmille. The masses will end up thinking that this is just another sham. Secondly, are you telling me that you can apprehend me or the people will try to impeach me when I hold all the power in this world and have given them absolute comfort and luxury?"

These solid points that Dae stated were irrefutable. No one could call him a bad person and even if word of his true self were to pop up, nobody would believe such baseless claims because after all he gave the masses more comfort than the World Leaders ever could and to top it all, he is the one and only Perfect Human.

The leaders were at a loss for words, no one spoke until a young man stood up with a smile, his red hair swooshing as he got up. He turned to Dae with warm eyes.

"So even the mighty World Leaders can't stop you. You truly are worthy of the title of the Perfect Human."

These words of praise belonged to the youngest leader in the room, the President of Japan; Yagami Nagumo.

Alex Dae turned to him and felt a strange energy. He smirked slightly as he let out an amused, "Oh"
