Earth's Alpha Prime

As Rest-Period settled in, Jay was teleported to the Deep Underground Base, where he came across Qew and Kay, who were eagerly waiting for him.

Through their Wristband Prototypes, they had learned everything that had happened in the Tournament from MJ.

Kay was the first to speak. "Brother, that Urzo is a really dangerous individual. Thank God you grew stronger, or else... I can't even imagine what would've happened."

Qew, however, couldn't hold back her frustration. "Isn't the system biased? Why isn't that Urzo disqualified, even after he deliberately had others attack you with the intention to kill?"

Jay understood her anger. He had been confused too, wondering how Urzo had managed to avoid breaking the system's rules. However, after going through Urzo's memories using the Possession Seeds he had destroyed, he found the answer.

Apparently, Urzo had methodically tested the system's rules in the Obelisks, where harming fellow Raid Party members resulted in reduced rewards, and killing another member was penalized by temporary ban from the Obelisks.

Over time, Urzo found a loophole. As long as he didn't directly kill someone while possessing them, he wouldn't face harsh penalties. Using Possession Seeds to command others only resulted in minor penalties.

In the Tournament, Urzo had relied on this knowledge. By using the Alpha Chosen to attack Jay, he ensured that the system would only see him as an accomplice, not the direct perpetrator, since he didn't kill anyone outright while in control. 

If Jay had been on the brink of death, Urzo would have simply withdrawn his possession over Wibbit, avoiding disqualification. The worst penalty he would face was a reduction in his Tournament rewards.

Urzo had also taken a calculated risk by betting that Jay wouldn't kill others. Because of this, the death toll was limited to less than a hundred, most of them victims of friendly fire. 

This kept Urzo's penalties far lower than the system might have imposed otherwise, allowing him to retain much of what he had earned.

Jay shook his head, thinking about the lengths Urzo had gone to exploit the system's loopholes. He explained all of this to his siblings, who listened in disbelief as the truth sank in.

He then said to them, "Think about it— even if there wasn't a loophole for Urzo to exploit, it wouldn't change the fact that he would do everything in his power to take me down. After all, even if he loses his qualification for the final tournament, he still has a chance to turn the tables by defeating the crowned ALPHA PRIME, seizing the title for himself, and ruling over the Trial World."

Kay and Qew nodded in agreement. They were relieved that Jay had grown strong enough to survive such a dangerous opponent, but it only strengthened their resolve to grow stronger as well. 

If, by any chance, Urzo remained unchecked when the Beta Program began, they knew they could become targets. As Jay's siblings, they were the weak link Urzo might exploit to get to him.

Noticing their thoughts, Jay brought out a handful of Probability-Enhanced Enlightenment Incenses and handed them to both of them. 

"Whenever you're training or working on your masteries, light these near you. They'll help improve your comprehension speed, allowing you to reach higher mastery levels much faster."

Both Qew and Kay eagerly accepted the gift. Qew was especially thrilled, as she had been stuck at Stage-3 Mastery for quite some time, while her younger brother, Kay, had already advanced to Stage-4, leaving her far behind.

"Thank you, brother!" Qew exclaimed joyfully before hurrying off to her training quarters to test the incense's effects.

Kay stayed behind, taking the opportunity to update Jay on the revolutionary impact of the S.E.E.D technology, which had already begun transforming the world just ten days after its introduction.

The S.E.E.D technology wasn't merely an advancement; it was a leap decades ahead of anything the world had seen. Every electronic appliance, from air conditioners to refrigerators, televisions, and even personal gadgets, was replaced with models powered entirely by Spirit Energy. 

The need for electricity or conventional power sources became obsolete overnight. What truly set these products apart was their astonishing advancement—they were five times more capable than anything available on the market, yet sold at only one-fifth the price.

The marketing strategy was a masterstroke. F.U.T.U.R.E Corporation, the face of the new technology, implemented an irresistible exchange program. Customers could trade in their old appliances and gadgets for a 50% discount on S.E.E.D-powered replacements. 

This strategy sparked a frenzy, with people from all corners of the world flocking to FUTURE Corporation outlets to upgrade their now outdated technology products.

The result was nothing short of an industrial revolution. In just ten days, the new products dominated the global market, generating billions in revenue despite their modest pricing.

This success was due in large part to MJ's Familia AIs, which handled the manufacturing with unparalleled efficiency, keeping production costs low. 

The F.U.T.U.R.E Corporation, already a prestigious organization, skyrocketed in influence, becoming the undisputable No.1 global powerhouse. In India, Nav-Yuga, as the sole distributor of S.E.E.D products, rose to the top, solidifying its position as one of the country's top companies.

However, this meteoric rise was not without hiccups. Leading companies worldwide, once secure in their position, suddenly found themselves competing with products that were far superior to their own.

Day by day, their revenues dwindled as S.E.E.D technology became the new standard. It wasn't just a product line—F.U.T.U.R.E Corporation had introduced replacements for almost every mainstream category of electronics, and vehicles, threatening to upend the entire technological hierarchy.

Realizing that their survival was at stake, these corporations banded together, determined to halt the spread of S.E.E.D technology. 

They attempted to reverse-engineer the products, but to their frustration, every single one was hardcoded to operate exclusively on Spirit Energy—a mysterious power source they couldn't replicate or wrap their heads around. 

Even their top scientists failed to uncover the properties of Spirit Energy or understand how it functioned.

With replication proving impossible, these corporations turned to more desperate measures. They sought to uncover the secrets of S.E.E.D technology's production, launching extensive investigations to locate its manufacturing facilities. 

However, their efforts were futile. MJ, following Jay's instructions, meticulously covered their tracks, leaving every search cold and every lead a dead end.

The threat wasn't limited to corporate interests. Governments, too, viewed S.E.E.D technology as both an opportunity and a threat. Powerful nations sought to seize control of the technology, envisioning its potential to create devastating new weapons. Their attempts to pressure F.U.T.U.R.E Corporation, however, were met with stiff resistance.

MJ, acting autonomously as Jay had directed, became the guardian and enforcer of the corporation's interests. 

Wealthy individuals, influential organizations that tried to strong-arm their way into obtaining S.E.E.D technology were met with chilling consequences. MJ would unveil damning digital evidence of their illegal activities, forcing them to retreat and reconsider their moves.

As for the governments, MJ took a more aggressive approach. He hacked into and seized control of several military-grade online weapon networks from nations that attempted to coerce F.U.T.U.R.E Corporation.

Under the guise of a shadowy cyberterror organization he named the Great Venerable Syndicate, MJ struck fear into governments worldwide. His unrelenting cyber warfare forced even the most powerful nations to back down.

No one could predict what might come next. The corporations and governments found themselves powerless in the face of the unknown foe. They could only watch as S.E.E.D technology continued its unprecedented rise.

Despite MJ's flair for theatrics, Jay couldn't help but feel grateful to have him by his side. Without MJ's efforts, Jay's life wouldn't have been as smooth as it had been lately.

Unbeknownst to most, Jay had instructed MJ to take extensive precautions to protect F.U.T.U.R.E Corporation and Nav-Yuga enterprise from those who would stop at nothing to claim it for themselves. 

However, Jay chose not to share these details with Kay, instead letting him continue with the belief that things were progressing smoothly. 

Kay's enthusiasm was infectious as he talked about how well the new technology was performing and how Earth would be better prepared for the looming System Assimilation in about five months.

After their discussion, Kay excused himself and headed back to his personal training quarters, eager to strengthen himself for what lay ahead. 

Left alone, Jay decided to unwind for a moment. He headed to his room, letting the warmth of a good shower wash away the lingering tension from the Tournament.

Fresh and recharged, Jay sat down to enjoy his breakfast. As he ate, he began reviewing the rewards he had earned from the Second Tournament.
