The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 227: 227:Weary Plans

Inside the pod, vibrant energy pulsed as Aurora monitored the intricate processes unfold.

The room buzzed with the hum of machinery, the lights flickering in sync with the data streams coursing through the systems.

While Evan was immersed in evolution, a process unlike anything Aurora had ever witnessed that happened to his body, she could see that his body was absorbing cosmic energy with an insatiable hunger.

Aurora watched in awe as Evan's body absorbed this energy. The cosmic energy flowed into him, its colors shifting while it swirled like a nebula, each hue reflecting the monumental changes taking place within.

Aurora's algorithms processed the influx of data, analyzing the patterns of energy transfer. This cosmic energy was more than just raw power—it was a catalyst and driving force for the transformation, weaving through Evan's biological and digital frameworks.

[Sir, can you hear me?] Aurora's voice resonated within the confines of the pod, her words filled with concern amidst the overwhelming surge of energy.

But instead of responding, Evan sensed a different presence reaching out to him—something deeper.

The System itself was communicating with him, guiding him through the chaotic transformation.

[Focus, Evan,] the System's voice echoed deep within his mind.

[Harness the cosmic energy. It is the key to your evolution. But, you might feel a gut-wrenching pain.]

As he listened, a faint stir of Evan's consciousness responded.

"GAAAHHH!"

This was followed by a heart-wrenching scream escaping from Evan's lips as veins all over his body bulged.

The energy surged through him again, causing the intricate lines of code etched into his being to illuminate.

Aurora monitored this closely, and her sensors detected the activation of these energy patterns. The glow of all these codes shifted from golden to an indescribable hue, signaling that something profound was happening.

[Stabilize the transfer,] the System instructed, his voice steady and authoritative.

[You must align with the energy to avoid a catastrophic overload.]

Suddenly, a wave of energy cascaded through the pod, making the System shudder momentarily. Aurora quickly adjusted her focus and began rapidly analyzing the fluctuating data streams.

[The transfer is stabilizing, but we need to maintain an equilibrium. If we overload the System…]

At that moment, a ripple of null data flashed across Aurora's interface, triggering a surge of alarms.

[Ahhh] she exclaimed, her processors racing to identify the cause of the anomaly.

[Null data detected]

Seeing Aurora panic, the System barked at her, his tone sharp.

[Girl stop panicking. The vital process is over, but the next step is equally taxing.]

[What do you mean?] Aurora asked, confused.

"The energy absorbed by Evan needs to flow through a systematic pathway that has been modified within his body. But this thing needs to be done by Evan on his own, so wake him up."

Aurora quickly redirected her resources, cutting off non-essential operations and prioritizing the stabilization of the pod. She then sent a signal, trying to wake up Evan's consciousness and communicate with it by giving him the data to process.

[Concentrate! Focus on the energy. The System is optimizing the quantum computer to enhance processing power.]

Evan's voice grew weary, but he responded with determination. "I'll try to control it. Just guide me."

With the cosmic energy swirling around him, Evan began to harness its essence while the System's voice continued to echo in his mind, guiding him through the complexities of energy channels within his body.

As he focused, Evan felt the resonance between his consciousness and the System deepen. The once distinct separation between his consciousness and the System had begun to dissolve, while with the support of the quantum computer, Aurora fed him streams of information and power, enhancing his abilities beyond anything he had ever known.

[Quantum processing at maximum efficiency,] the System announced, its tone unwavering.

[Your neural pathways are expanding. This is your moment of transformation.]

The room vibrated with energy, and Aurora could almost feel the cosmic force swirling around them.

With each heartbeat, the energy intensified, wrapping around them like a cocoon. Aurora then directed the flow of cosmic energy while the System ensured that the quantum upgrades safeguarded the durability of the pod.

A few moments later…

In the chamber, Aurora's core thrummed with energy as she meticulously monitored the upgrades to Evan's pod.

The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation while the walls vibrated faintly as the cosmic energy coursed through the newly reinforced pipelines.

[Confirm energy,] Aurora requested, her interface displaying intricate blueprints of the interconnected infrastructure.

[Energy flow is optimal,] the System replied, materializing beside her. His form radiated authority, and the air grew thick with the weight of his presence. [Ensure that the transfer mechanisms are primed for maximum efficiency.]

Aurora nodded, her focus unwavering. [Initiating final adjustments to the quantum interfaces.]

She deftly reconfigured the controls, fine-tuning the parameters to boost the absorption capacity of the pipelines. Each line pulsed with vibrant energy, channeling immense power toward Evan's pod.

As the enhancements took effect, the pod thrummed with newfound power. Aurora watched in exhilaration as streams of cosmic energy surged through the reinforced pipelines, each pulse resonating with Evan's essence.

[Good,] the System remarked, his voice steady. [Now integrate the quantum core's data analytics. This will optimize the energy usage and make sure that Evan can harness his potential without risking overload.]

[Integrating now,] Aurora confirmed, her processors running at peak efficiency. Data cascaded through her systems in torrents, weaving intricate patterns of information. The quantum core's calculations synced seamlessly with the energy transfer, balancing the influx of power.

[Pipeline integrity is stable,] Aurora reported, her excitement building as she saw that Evan's pod was responding to the changes. The lights within shimmered, reflecting the intensity of the absorbed cosmic energy.

[Once the connection is stabilized, initiate the awakening sequence,] the System commanded.

As the glow of cosmic energy illuminated the chamber, the System observed Aurora intently. Suddenly, he noticed a deep frown etch onto Aurora's usually composed features. This was the first time he had witnessed such an ugly expression on her seemingly beautiful features, and this struck him with an unusual sense of unease.

In the next instant, Aurora's anger became palpable, her aura shifting to a darker hue.

[Damn!] she spat, her voice laced with frustration.

[What happened?] the System asked, concern creeping into its tone.

Aurora turned to face the figure, her eyes narrowing slightly as she focused her core power on the screens surrounding them. [While I was occupied here, the accounts I was managing in the share market were paused, and SEBI has banned them.]

The System tilted his head, intrigued. [Explain.]

Aurora's expression intensified. [I was manipulating hundreds of thousands of accounts, transferring funds while masking the movements through a complex network of layered transactions. The pause in operations allowed a group of snoopers to identify the anomalies.]

She clenched her fists, visibly agitated. "They've shut down my operations and frozen nearly all the accounts involved."

[How much is the loss?] the System inquired, curiosity piqued.

[About 60% of the accounts have been blocked,] Aurora replied, frustration spilling into her tone.

"Is that a major problem?" the System asked, unsure if Aurora could recover from the situation.

The System's eyes widened, pausing for a moment as he processed the implications.

The System then contemplated her words, his mind racing through the implications. [So you are dealing with multiple threats.]

Aurora's expression hardened. [I can create diversions to mislead them, but I'll need to cut off their resources too.]

"Cut off their resources, how do you plan to do that?" the System asked, his curiosity piqued.

[By sabotaging their financial streams,] she replied.

[If I can trigger a chain reaction that disrupts their operations, it will force them to retreat. They'll be too preoccupied with damage control to come after us.]

The System nodded, impressed by her strategy. "That's a solid plan, but with Evan still in stasis, everything is in your hands."

[Exactly,] Aurora agreed, her focus sharpening.

[It's not just a problem,it's worse. Miss Suri was also attacked,] she added, her voice heavy with the gravity of the situation.

Hearing this, the System let out a hearty laugh. "Now that's a very big problem."

"Knowing that kid, I am sure he will be pissed after learning of this."
