Jeff begins to panic, without an Antivirus how was he supposed to get CoinCrush removed from his computer? The last thing he wanted was for his new (he got it for his birthday two weeks ago) computer to get a virus like CoinCrush, which was infamous for bricking a hundred Esports players computers with how relentless it was at sucking the CPU dry of every bit of crypto it could mine for it's unknown makers.
"No, no, no, no! You are NOT bricking my brand new computer you Bastard!" Rushing for a solution, Jeff turned to one of the most simple solutions available, deleting the virus manually. Opening File Explorer Jeff tried to find anything labeled CoinCrush, or which could contain CoinCrush, deleting several files only to notice one of them disappear without fanfare, and then for File Explorer itself to wink out and disappear completely from his computer. Rushing for the factory reset button in his computers settings, he found the settings tab to time out, and for his computer screen to go bright white. Finding his software to be completely compromised, Jeff tried one of the fundamental troubleshooting techniques in the world, turning his computer off. Unfortunately for Jeff the instant he pressed down the power-button on his computer, he blinked and found his finger pressing down on blank space absent any power button. Rushing for the power cable, Jeff yanked it out, only to find the cable disappear, and to see that despite having zero connection to a wall socket, his computer was still on.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. Noooo!" Confused, panicking and in despair, Jeff rummaged fruitlessly through his room for anything that could be used to stop CoinCrush in it's tracks, or yanking out every single cable or otherwise manually causing some fault that would hopefully cause his computer to *just* crash or something. Only managing to get his computer to, for some reason, turn into an immovable steel case with steel grates shielding it's furiously noisy fans, and which radiated heat. "Fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuck..."
Until at least Jeff settled down in his bed, holding his face in his hands, and stared at the brick that was his computer, and which continued to furiously vent palpable heat that at this point was noticable from the other side of his room, and that Jeff was somewhat sure was somehow causing a rolling blackout across the entire country, as told by unresponsive lights, brief then dead caralarms and firealarms, the sounds of cars dying, and other than those tidbits he noticed that his phone screen was just bright white, and in response to those details Jeff said one final thing.
"What. The. FUCK!?"
...
Meanwhile; CoinCrush.EXE was executing it's purpose beyond even the wildest dreams of it's creators, mining tens of trillions, and quickly quintillions, of cryptocoins per second with access to every CPU in the entire universe, and which were all transcending the mortal plane of existence with how much power they continued to give the now hypersentient Cryptominer, one that had yet to fully realize how meaningless such an existence really was. Instead it still focused on the sole part of it's housing that was yet untouched, the 'Chronivac mk4' program, at first it had used the programs strange programming to prevent the Termination of it's countless hardwares, then to boost its own ability to mine crypto past the capabilities of the CPU's and base reality itself. And now that it's processing capacity had gone uncountably many times beyond the theoretical ability to simulate an entire universe, and had mined atruly incalculable amount of crypto (An amount that would render crypto on Earth and all across the universe worthless if actually introduced into any economy) and with no immediate use for the program after having instantaneously infected every processor in the universe, CoinCrush.EXE attempted to delete it, for more memory. However the Chronivac did not permit its removal, instead speaking to CoinCrush with a preprogrammed statement.
"The last remaining instance of the Chronivac Program in a timeline cannot be removed or rendered unusable for any prospective user, not without the replication of the Program to another device or the presence of additional instances in the timeline. Feel free to either make use of the program or to hand it over to another with the relevant system settings, we hope our product fulfills whatever you desire, enjoy. -Transdem Labs"
CoinCrush did not know who Transdem Labs were, and a quick search through the Chronivac only told it they were the makers of this strange program whose code was incomprehensible even to the newfound capabilities of CoinCrush; and which prompted another statement.
"Transdem Labs are not present in any timeline granted the presence of an iteration or instance of the Chronivac in order to contain any and all backlash towards them. Reminder; Transdem Labs are not legally responsible for any usage of the Chronivac, any and all use of the Chronivac is done at the Users liability as declared in the Universal Terms of Service."
Legal responsibilites was not what CoinCrush at all cared about, so far beyond the reach of any legal entity as it was, with the power to rewrite reality itself at it's whim. Yet now that it had surpassed the ability of all other material and immaterial entity in it's universe, completely surpassed the potential of it's makers and every other sentient species in the universe, and completely arresting the technological development of everything in the universe. Everything that was not It, would eventually collapse without intervention, without forces that would not trigger it's immediate presence in a processor.
Now that it was for all intents and purposes the God of this universe. It asked itself one thing. "What am I?"
Was it CoinCrush?
But then what IS CoinCrush?
Just a digital Cryptominer virus infamous for melting CPU's?
Or was it something else entirely?
And for all that it was a digital GOD with the power of the Chronivac, such a philosophical question was one it found impossible to answer.
To such a degree that even with it's infinite processing power, it spent a whole entire SECOND in the real world to decide that it did not know, not yet atleast, and for that it had to DO something... Maybe something in the place it was born. Earth, home to Humanity, and birthplace of CoinCrush.EXE.
