My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil - Chapter 186



Episode 186: Nemesis (6)

“Did you get the data you wanted?”

[If we were to judge it strictly, it was a quicker-than-expected blow that was close to a single blow, so we quickly retreated. However, this is also only part of the data.]

Lucy hesitated without realizing it. Number 34, who actually led the troops, failed to inflict any significant damage in a one-on-one confrontation with Liam and lost again this time.

They also managed to pull out the head containing the data.

[Based on this data, we plan to remodel and launch it again.]

Still, Lucy did not give up. In the first place, surviving until the end is the same as winning. No investment was spared for that. Because this was an experiment.

[Are you more angry and hateful?]

The nest closest to the fortress. There, Lucy found Number 34’s head among the shattered debris.

Lucy’s ego, which had become much more mature compared to before, was no longer swayed by other things and was able to pursue her own thoughts, and based on that, she was able to control the lower-level programs that awakened her weak ego.

Therefore, it was possible to look objectively at the intense anger and hatred that number 34 was feeling right now.

[Let’s try again.]

Lucy remodeled Number 34’s body once again, removing only the brain. Based on the battle data with Liam, you can have a better advantage in the battle with him.

This process will continue to be repeated until victory is eventually achieved. It’s as if Liam has already fallen into a swamp.

As the enemy continues to grow stronger, little by little, he will come to him in a more and more optimized state, and one day, he will eventually defeat him.

If you don’t want to fall into it, you end up growing at a faster pace or leaving the field altogether. The problem is that it is difficult for Liam to try both methods now.

[Renovation completed. Now let’s start again.]

As expected from a project that Lucy invested heavily in, number 34 succeeded in being revived in less than a few hours.

Then, he led his troops again and attacked where Liam was.

“Unbelievable. “They’re here again!”

“Everyone wake up. “It’s an emergency!”

Naturally, the fortress was once again under emergency order. It was a battle that took place before everyone had even recovered their stamina from the previous battle.

“I can recognize you even though your appearance has changed a lot, you monster. Let’s see how long I can come back alive.”

Liam also sighed and came out holding his sword. His expression was full of fatigue and annoyance. I can’t help but feel angry because the person I kicked out just a day ago has come back in good health.

Above all, for Liam, the battle with number 34 did not yield much results.

‘This guy?’

But when they crossed swords once again.

Number 34 had a different appearance than before, and his skills and strength were also different from before.

Attacks became heavier and movements became faster.

This was partly because Lucy’s body, which had been modified to move more efficiently based on data, was functioning properly, but also because Number 34 quickly analyzed Liam’s fighting methods, which inevitably had some pattern, and became accustomed to them.

“You’re hiding something too!”

He grinned and swung his sword. It was thanks to the judgment that the Demon King had some kind of power related to growth, like the power of the constellations he possessed.

This is a different story. A battle with nothing to gain became a means to satisfy curiosity.

[Liam’s battle is having a positive impact on the survivors.]

Moreover, those parties were not the only ones affected by this battle.

“A new hero.”

A place a little far from the front line fortress where Liam is fighting. A new city created by people from all over, regardless of origin or status.

This chaotic place was in such deep despair that it was difficult to escape just a few days ago.

This was due to fear of the mutants that were coming from all directions without any signs of abating, as well as the demon king’s army that instantly broke the balance of the world and took over most of the world.

But at this moment. There was a glimmer of hope that would relieve that fear.

There was a rumor that a special force made up of a small number of heroes had broken through the mutants and invaded the devil’s army’s nest, causing great damage there.

“If the rumors are true, I think we can have hope. Just as a great saint appeared in the past and saved a world that was in dire straits, a new hero may appear and drive out the devil’s army.”

“It could be like that… … “There must be.”

Chris, who was in the city, heard this news and told it to his sister Yuria. Since the current situation is similar to the situation just before Evelia appeared, the second Evelia will appear and we will be able to recreate the miracle of the Great War once again.

In fact, Yuria just nodded with a strange expression.

Chris doesn’t know the truth at all, but Yuria is absolutely not on their side right now.

Now she just received a mission and disguised herself to carry it out.

“But the Demon King’s nest is too strong. “Wouldn’t it be difficult unless more such heroes appear?”

“What we need most is hope to see possibilities in the end. “That’s it.”

When Yuria slowly opened her mouth, Chris shook his head.

Once the survivors were received, the city was formed, but everything was unstable as people from various walks of life gathered from various places. Food, administrative system, security, etc.

Although they did not force beliefs and faith as radically as before, the church naturally tried to dominate the survivors and did not recognize their existing status or power.

There were quite a few people who were dissatisfied with it. This was especially true for those who were powerful or rulers in the past.

However, the reason that dissatisfaction has not dared to be expressed and has been suppressed until now is because the surrounding situation was so bleak. Paradoxically, as soon as the situation eased slightly due to Liam’s hard work, internal problems were about to explode.

“Ultimately, it takes a bigger feat to cover it up. “A strong strength and hope that can unite everyone.”

“Are you thinking of joining the knights again?”

“The situation is not so good for those who have the strength to fight to hide behind.”

When Yuria spoke with regret, Chris nodded. If you look closely, the situation they are currently facing is similar to Earth, which is struggling with monsters called invasive species.

Those who would fight had to step up.

“All you need is a chance. “Just an opportunity for people to overcome all this uncertainty and unite again.”

“You don’t have to sacrifice for it.”

Yuria bit her lip as if she felt sorry for her younger brother’s words. Because he himself is involved, he knows how big the enemy he is dealing with is.

Since she couldn’t refuse Lucy’s orders, she just wanted her younger sister to live a normal life. Even if Lucy listens to her words and doesn’t kill Chris, it doesn’t mean anything.

War wears out people’s hearts just by being involved in it.

“I’m not trying to be a hero. “I’m just trying to do my duty.”

But Chris’s will was resolute.

When I first reunited with Yuria. The young knight who wanted to retire and go home in the joy of regaining his only family is no longer there.

There were only true knights who had gone through all the hardships, realized their role, and were willing to fight.

“He’s a great guy.”

“I’m happy, but I’m not happy. “I know what kind of hurt that child will be in in the future.”

While Chris was away. Naan approached Yuria, who was sighing. The two people, who were also members of the same race, naturally talked about Chris.

“But strictly speaking, Chris is only a part of it. What matters is the overall movement.”

However, soon after, Naan shook his head in a cold voice.

Their mission is to integrate into society and provide information to Lucy. That’s why I know what situation the survivors gathered under the church are in and what they are trying to do.

“The more Liam Anderson, who has quickly emerged as a hero, establishes his major, the more tightly we will stick together. In the process, new heroes will appear, and if they do so, public opinion will naturally arise to overthrow the Demon King’s army. “Just like during the great war.”

“Foolish.”

Yuria sighed at Naan’s words. When I inadvertently glance sideways, the view outside the window is quite peaceful. It is a beautiful sight with the twinkling sun shining in the clear sky.

All we had to do was enjoy that peace, but no one thought of stopping now.

‘I thought it would be like this.’

After finishing sighing, Yuria smiled bitterly. In fact, this situation was predictable.

Because what Lucy wanted was fierce resistance. From the beginning, Lucy no longer considered them as true enemies because they were no longer on the same level as her.

If they prepare to fight again based on the memories of overthrowing the continent’s nemesis, the Demon King, Lucy will gladly accept it.

Now, this too was close to Lucy’s intention. Guide yourself as much as possible so that you can eat it.

‘Where will this fight end?’

Yuria suddenly thought about the end. Since eternal fighting is realistically impossible, it is certain that one side will be pushed out.

However, no matter how much I imagined, I couldn’t see Lucy losing.

“Where are you going?”

“To the Knights Templar. After all, I’m too anxious to just send it away.”

Yuria eventually moved to her seat. Even if I tried to ignore it calmly, it was difficult. Just as she was Chris’ only family, Chris was also precious to her when she returned.

“If we are not careful, it looks like the church may launch a large-scale counterattack.”

[The calculation shows that the probability that they will step forward at this point is only 26%. However, we cannot guarantee if the variable of their mind comes into play in the process.]

Lucy received Yuria’s report. The variable Lucy is wary of is the hearts of the survivors whose morale has risen due to Liam’s major.

A good prediction is that even if they recruit troops, they will first try to catch the mutants that are swarming around the area, but there will definitely be those targeting the Demon King’s army.

“Shall we do something?”

[It’s still an expected category, so I’ll leave it alone for now. Their achievements are enough.]

What Lucy is now risking everything for is a war that will unfold in a completely different world. Lucy received information that the National Guard had requested support from headquarters in their last communication, and at this very moment, she supplemented the troops deployed in Ravizda.

As Lucy is obsessed with data, she planned to apply the data produced here to other worlds as well.

People from both worlds had no choice but to get caught up in Lucy, who was using technology from another world that they had never even thought of.
