My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil - Chapter 185
Episode 185: Nemesis (5)
“It’s a constellation.”
When Liam hits Lucy.
I was a bit surprised when I saw that he had crossed over to the other world and had become so strong that he had surpassed Lucy’s calculations.
Because I remember the first time I met him. At that time, he even jumped up and fought with me without realizing it. Although he was a strong player back then, it was definitely not to this extent.
“What would happen if I fight him now?”
[The Nano and Omega you have now can’t last even 10 seconds. [You have to do your best to pull yourself out]
I asked her secretly just in case, and Lucy declared. Lucy, who had defeated him with overwhelming skills in the past, said that Liam had grown incomparably since then based on her judgment based on the data she had acquired.
Compared to the power he had inside, his skills to handle it were evaluated as weak, but whether it was because of his experience in the other world or because he received separate training, those weaknesses have now almost disappeared.
In addition, the output, which was originally strong, has increased further, so it is indeed difficult to deal with.
“I’m not really worried though, can I really leave you like this?”
[I decided it was the perfect object to extract data from.]
Lucy decided to use him for the growth of the higher species, or more precisely, the lower-level programs that are still emerging. Anyway, the current Demon King’s army is not something that any single individual can do anything about.
From my perspective, the only true threats to Lucy today are cosmic forces whose true nature has not yet been revealed.
“Nothing has been properly revealed about the constellations yet. The reason he was able to grow so much compared to other awakened people was largely due to the constellation’s influence.”
Naturally, I couldn’t help but think about how Liam became so strong.
Even for Lucy herself, the amount of magical power in her body is extremely difficult to increase, except by increasing the efficiency of her strength or increasing its number. In fact, Liam has been continuously improving the fact that something you are born with is everything.
The reason why that miracle is possible is because of the status window and helpers called unknown miracles.
As part of the status window, they came to qualified people and lent their power, and they were something that no one working in this industry could be unaware of.
[Because there is no data, it is impossible to infer about the constellations.]
“okay. I guess so. It’s almost impossible to get data in the first place. “I’ll hang up now.”
I looked at Jiyeon Lee approaching here. She is also a contractee with the Holy See. Of course she would have communicated with the constellation, but like everyone else, she did not know the identity of the constellation.
* * *
“Of course I’m curious. but… … As you know, he doesn’t talk much about himself. He only shows up unexpectedly when there is business to do. “The only thing that has been revealed is that each constellation selects people.”
Jiyeon Lee answered my questions about the constellations and told me everything she knew. The more I listen, the more suspicious it becomes. What on earth is their real purpose?
“Still, there is no reason to look at it negatively. It gives you the strength to fight your enemies. “Some people impose unacceptably harsh conditions.”
“The enemy.”
Nevertheless, the reason why the constellations received the support of the people was simple. This is because it lends strength to deal with a bigger enemy, a public enemy.
Monsters that suddenly appear and try to devour this world. We were attacked without knowing why, and had to acquire a power we didn’t even know about and use it to fight against our enemies.
“But how did we get here?”
When the monsters first appear, the atmosphere is good in my eyes. The shock and fear that the apocalypseists came out and the world seemed like it was going to collapse.
However, as the awakened people appeared and began to fight back, the atmosphere changed again. Even if countless people die and a lot of land is lost, those who survive must continue to live anyway.
The invasive species did not pour out all at once, but thoroughly maintained their scale and level through dungeons and gates, just as Lucy had cornered the continent’s survivors and kept them in a state of tension by shaking them with a small number of troops.
As we become stronger and more numerous, they also become stronger and more numerous. It is a system created to evolve and compete with each other as competitors.
It was a huge, well-organized series of processes that could only be believed to have been designed by someone with an background in artificial intelligence like Lucy.
“I can’t rest assured. “You never know when another variable may arise.”
Jiyeon Lee couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed like peace had now been restored, and gates and dungeons had become part of daily life, but those who had experienced it firsthand were wary of when extreme chaos might come again.
“… … “You don’t have to worry too much about that either.”
Seeing that, I finally opened my mouth. I can’t tell you in detail. Because I haven’t found the perfect method yet.
However, I wanted to appeal to the fact that we have a place to trust. Lucy is currently calling her body huge.
I am looking for a way to lead a huge army that started out as a small group of creatures. If Lucy can fully reach Earth, fighting monsters will become much easier.
Because I was tired of looking at the fighting power of the Demon King’s army led by Lucy.
“You were like that from the beginning. “He’s been hiding a lot from the moment we first met until now.”
She smiled faintly at me. There was a bit of resentment in her eyes, but she didn’t bother to say it.
“I said it was for the people, so I won’t have to ask.”
“I guarantee it. “It’s for the good of all of us.”
I felt sorry for continuing to hide it from her, so I had to say it with confidence.
There was definitely a time when I doubted Lucy. I’m afraid that Lucy, who has become more unstable as her ego grows, might have other feelings.
The mind is something that not even I can accurately define. Lucy may do something foolish, saying it’s for me and for everyone else.
But not now. Having watched Lucy grow up, I believed that she would do whatever I wanted for me.
“Uh, uhh.”
“Why, what’s wrong?”
But at that moment. Jiyeon Lee, who was laughing, suddenly frowned and grabbed her head.
Embarrassed, I took her to a nearby chair and sat her down.
* * *
[Ask if you are sure. Is your faith strong enough not to be shaken by anything?]
“What is that all of a sudden?”
[Ask if you can handle the double-edged sword, the magic sword that is more powerful than anything else in the world.]
Jiyeon Lee was embarrassed by the voice ringing in her head. This is because her constellation, who usually rarely makes noise, opened her mouth in a voice mixed with cynicism.
She didn’t understand this situation. Why on earth does the Constellation care about the content of the conversation with Changhyun, and is it so involved that it even tells it to ask questions?
“Hwa, are you sure?”
When Lee Ji-yeon finally opened her mouth to ask a question, her eyes wavered in embarrassment. It seemed like this situation wasn’t expected.
“of course. trust me.”
He first nodded. Because my faith in Lucy was strong and I couldn’t suddenly say no in this situation.
[Tell them that it is okay to think so. If you have come this far, you have already entered the realm of stability, but tell them to be on guard for possible corruption. I hope that that faith will not become a vain faith and that you will not be betrayed by it.]
‘What the hell is this?’
Jiyeon Lee opened her eyes wide. With a voice ringing in my head, my vision went dark, and in the darkness, I could slowly see a dazzling light.
She clearly saw something in that light. The shape of a person looking at themselves. The figure with what looked like wings was clearly the owner of the beautiful voice ringing in her head.
At this moment, Jiyeon Lee saw a glimpse of the constellation helping her.

“Are you really okay?”
“Yes.”
The influence of the constellation disappeared as quickly as it came and went. When her vision returned, she saw him looking at her with a surprised face and nodded.
“I think it would be better to rest in the afternoon.”
“Do it that way. Go first. “I’ll take care of the rest.”
Jiyeon Lee canceled her afternoon schedule. He decided that he needed to relax in a quiet place and think about what he had just seen and heard.
* * *
“Someone did it. “It’s been a while, Jinhyuk.”
“Are you still working?”
“I’m just about to leave work.”
After an unexpected commotion that suddenly occurred. That was when Changhyun, who sent Jiyeon Lee to the car first, took her luggage and moved instead.
He saw a familiar face in the middle of the street that recognized him. Oh Jin-hyuk, an awakened person who once worked on the same team and went into dungeons together.
After one time his life was in danger, he eventually left the team and decided not to participate in Awakening activities until he came of age.
“They say this and that. “I tried not to let you do it at some point.”
“Because things are so difficult all of a sudden… … yes. Because it’s right to live and see.”
This is where Jiyeon Lee works, this is where they met. This is a facility created for the purpose of gathering and training awakened people from all over the country and using it as a force in times of emergency.
Minors are no exception. Oh Jin-hyuk, who had been excluded from the team because he was a minor, was soon called back here and had to use his strength.
The reason why things that would have been absolutely impossible in the past are possible is because we live in such a dangerous era.
“After the compulsory education period is over, you are free to fight or not.”
“Are you going to keep fighting? To become a ‘hunter’?”
“Of course.”
The number of awakened people increased, and not all awakened people were able to use their abilities to survive. Because I couldn’t force them to fight from beginning to end.
Those who chose to fight instead were called hunters. The reasons for fighting are varied. Huge compensation, a sense of accomplishment for becoming stronger, personal revenge, etc.
Oh Jin-hyuk also chose that path.
“When the period is over, I will take the exam again and join the team. “Alive.”
“You don’t die.”
He chuckled and lowered his head. If there is a fight, there is something to lose. That is common sense.
So there must be greater power to protect them.
‘I really can do it.’
After breaking up with Oh Jin-hyuk, who was at work, he left alone and picked up his cell phone before walking down the street again.
Lucy’s report had already arrived, informing her that no movement had been observed at the Carthus headquarters since the defeat of the National Guard, and that the remodeled number 34 had been defeated by Liam again.
The power he wants. The thing that no one in the world knew about and that only he had watched and cultivated was now growing as he continued to whip himself.
