MADE IN OUR IMAGE

Zendrin 1 looked up from his screen and sighed deeply. They did it! The job was done, the greatest undertaking of humankind of all times was finished!

But he didn't do the job alone, as Zendrin was fully aware! Toghether with millions of his fellow colleagues spread out over the whole Universe, they connected all the supercomputers in the whole Universe. They were called "Matrioshka brains". The term "matrioshka brain" came from the idea of using Dyson spheres around a star as a gigantic computer. Matrioshka dolls are Russian nested dolls, where smaller ones fit inside larger ones; similarly the brains are nested Dyson spheres, drawing most or all of their power from the star and propagating it up out through the shells. The inner shells can run at almost the same temperature as the star itself, while the outer ones are almost at the temperature of interstellar space. The engineering requirements and resources needed for this were enormous, but a reality nonetheless! And not only in our Universe were those supercomputers being connected, since mankind discovered that the Multiverse Theory turned out to be true, mankind succeeded in colonizing all the other Universes as well, until at a certain point all known Universes were colonized. In each and every Universe, all the supercomputers were in the process of being connected with each other, and with the computers from each of the other Universes as well! This was the biggest achievement ever since the dawn of mankind on earth.

A mighty sense of awe and wonder shivered through Zendrin I's body! A deep feeling of excitement and pride, difficult to describe. At that moment, his musings were interrupted as Zendrin II and III were calling him. "Is everything allright?" they asked."Yes, I think so. I checked everything numerous times. It will be all right, everything will be fine!" called Zendrin I. He hastly walked down the stairs and joined his two colleagues who were perfect clones of himself, Zendrin I. They were one in body and mind, and likewise would all the supercomputers become one in mind!

A huge crowd of millions of people were gathered on the enormous plane before the humongous terminals of the Central Computer! The crowd began to cheer when Zendrin I, II and III appeared at the stage before the CC. They prepared themselves to ask the CC, who was now spanning the whole Omniverse, that one single question that haunted mankind from the beginning of time. The text of the question slowly appeared on the enormous screens:

"DOES GOD EXIST?"

A deep silence descended on the plane as everybody was holding their breath. The waiting time seemed to last for an eternity, but after a while, the answer appeared on the screens! Suddenly, a sound of thunder blasted trought he skies and a lightning storm appeared!

"NOT UNTIL NOW"

Zendrin II and II panicked and with them the whole crowd and Zendrin I hastly tried to disable the CC, but a lightning bolt from heaven struck him dead at once! The crowd shivered and bowed their heads for the CC. They were terrified and scared, because this god was made in their image!

"I, the LORD your God, am a jealous GOD..."
