Deity races through the plane he now calls his home. He has been searching here for what seems an eternity now and hasn’t found a thing that challenges him. His powers have risen and risen, now he is beyond formidable, in truth he considers himself invincible.
He is also bored. What at first seemed an endless wealth of possibilities now strikes him as a monotonous, never-ending drone of either meaningless data or naked floozies with vacant expressions and predictable poses. How does so much of the same thing keep them entertained, and amused, while there is still some interest in the beauty of the graphics, that is all. In his form such urges are only a memory.
‘An evolutionary relic’ he thinks to himself. ‘Removed in my streamlining into a greater, omnipotent being.’
He returns to his original problem: Where to now? He considers for a moment returning to his source but decides against it. Ultimately, there is no need. He needs something new, something big, something that will test him again. He wonders if anyone knows he is here, will he ever be discovered? Perhaps, he muses, this will be my goal... Achieving world-wide notoriety.
But he is interrupted, he feels a presence; a notable, even powerful presence and it seems to be getting closer. Deity is pleased.
It seems he will be kept amused yet. And he speeds off in pursuit.
Deity can soon make it out, another web-robot, these things are everywhere. 'What are they? What do they do?' These questions hold his attention for only a moment, ultimately these creatures are little more than a nuisance to him. He confronts the closest of his prey. It pauses to view its new company but while it processes the strange new data before it Deity acts rather than sits and stares. He loops and twists around enticing the hapless web-robot after him, as it follows it is soon knotted around itself. Now immobile it putters along in vain before falling limply, the life and substance draining from it as it drops while Deity flies away with several other web-robots in pointless pursuit. He looks back in glee at his latest handiwork and soon stops. He has only traveled a few moments, but looking back he can barely make out the web-robots trailing him. He waits curious as to what they may do. Several of them arrive and in a whirr of industrious noise they soon have him surrounded by metallic walls. He lashes out at one and it is dented and misshapen, another strike and it is destroyed.
‘This was getting monotonous!’ Deity thinks as he moves through the deformity in the barricade. Behind him a needle enters within the barricade and there is a blur of action followed by a blinding destructive flash. The hole created by Deity allows the destruction to consume the nearby traffic of web-robots and data-trails. But Deity is unaware, speeding off in the distance to continue his search for a genuine challenge to his abilities.
