My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil - Chapter 196
Episode 196 Endless Evolution (6)
[An enormous amount of magical power response. It’s above the sky!]
“huh?”
After a phone call with Lee Ji-yeon, who seemed to be in a hurry. I didn’t know anything and was just working in her office.
The phone, which had just been put down, vibrated violently, and Lucy’s urgent voice rang through the speaker.
Through the Nano/Omega that is with me, I sense the strong energy felt in this area and urgently warn you.
“What are you talking about. “What’s up in the sky?”
There was no way Lucy was lying, so I quickly ran out of the building. However, it seems that Lucy was not the only one who sensed the strange change.
Because everyone around me was already very shaken. Moreover, they all raised their heads towards the sky.
“why not?”
Likewise, when I saw the sky, I had no choice but to spit out my absurdity. The energy sprayed by the gathering black clouds could be felt even without a sensitive magic detection organ like Lucy’s.
[Calculating the response is taking some time. It is impossible to predict.]
“Is there any chance it’s nothing?”
I sighed and couldn’t do anything but just looked at the sky. The timing wasn’t good. If there had been a little more time, Lucy, who obtained the data from winning the battle against the space fleet, could have grown further based on that and come to Earth.
However, the surprise occurred at the perfect timing, as if it had been calculated, as if it had been waiting for such a time.
“How much more time do you need? “That’s why we’re hostile to huge enemies who control power on a planet-by-planet basis.”
Lucy’s attempts to antagonize and prey on every force she encounters, regardless of the direction, are clearly a given fate, or because the opponent opposes her first, or because coexistence is inevitable.
But the biggest reason was ultimately efficiency. Diplomacy, negotiations, exchanges where interests are complexly intertwined… … . All of that was inefficient for Lucy, who had the ability to feast and absorb, compared to gluttony through war.
[Depending on lack of data, calculations may be inaccurate and may take longer or less than expected. However, one thing is certain: it is impossible to create a proper portal until the incident is over.]
“this.”
In despair, I muttered quietly. The sky, where powerful energy had gathered, suddenly released that energy.
Heaven is angry, so what can a mere human do? I hurriedly threw myself indoors due to a huge gust of wind that instantly shook the car, and all I could do was lower myself so as not to get hurt by the shattering windows.
It wasn’t hurt at all, but Lucy probably moved Nano and Omega to partially block it.
[A powerful energy storm formed a sort of veil. Since most waves, including radio waves, are interrupted, we are isolated in this prison of magic.]
“It’s a gate, right? yes?”
I groaned and looked around to see if anyone was injured. There seemed to be some injured, but at least no one seemed to have died instantly.
[It is not a gate. The gates and dungeons that open on Earth are a type of dimensional gate and are structured with very elaborate code, so it is impossible for me to interpret them as the development of the dimensional gate has not yet been completed. However, the crack in the space that has now opened above the Academy is not an officially written code, but a literal crack. This is a bug.]
“what?”
[Something broke out from inside.]
Lucy let out an eerie sound. But I didn’t even have time to doubt that. This is because urgent shouts and screams were soon heard from all directions.
‘Invasive species.’
Just as Lucy said, they broke the wall of space and invaded. Even I could immediately recognize that the behavior was completely different from before.

“Rain, emergency! emergency!”
“Is it an unexpected gate? What is this?!”

Naturally, the scene became chaotic, and people screamed and fell into panic. Countless monsters poured out from a huge hole in the sky, like a comprehensive gift set that collected all the enemies seen at the gate or dungeon.
However, the biggest problem is that, unlike gates and dungeons that gradually increase as if going through a certain level of difficulty, it is destructive, as if there is no difficulty, as if Lucy is fighting the enemy with all her might.
“Nonsense.”
As I was trying to evacuate with other people, I was shocked to see what I saw in the sky. Giant monsters comparable to the ship-type soldiers Lucy was creating had already revealed themselves and started shelling the ground indiscriminately.
A powerful firepower that crushes and evaporates even large buildings with the people inside them.
However, that was not the only problem; the higher-ranking species that appeared as the final command entities in one dungeon also appeared in droves and attacked everything in sight.
Cold, machine-like slaughter without the slightest mercy or sympathy. But I could sense a subtle hatred within him.
“I’ve never imagined higher-ranking servants traveling in formation.”
[These are troops who were dragged out ignoring established procedures. If done well, this is an opportunity to learn about the home of invasive species]
The peaceful city suddenly turned into hell with collapsed debris, human corpses, and burning buildings. The scene I worked so hard to see because I never wanted to see it is now unfolding before my eyes.
Meanwhile, Lucy said that she would be able to use this as an opportunity to find out about the enemies that she had not been able to find out until now.
“You want to come here?”
[There are too many to send them all. According to my calculations, this is the most reasonable decision that can be made right now.]
Lucy said that she would lead the Demon King’s army and come here to face the enemy.
The most effective method left in an unprecedented situation that no one expected. Lucy and the Demon King’s army will be revealed to be descending on Earth, but there is no time to dwell on such a thing in a crazy disaster situation where people are dying.
“good. and.”
Actually, she didn’t need my permission, but Lucy asked for my permission, and I gave it as we hurriedly took refuge in a deserted, half-destroyed building.
At the same time, a huge energy started moving in my phone that I could feel. Lucy is trying to reveal her true power to the world.
“this.”
Meanwhile, a two-jawed anglerfish, one of the invasive species, discovered me and chased after me. At that time, the sharp claws of a monster larger than a human were about to pounce on my body.
“Transmission successful.”
The thing was split in half. The thing that cut the guy in half was a girl who suddenly appeared around me.
Lucy, who jumped forward and killed the enemy in one go, looked back at me with the same expression on her face as always.
“We will drive them out before more of them come out and form a proper formation.”
“uh? “Uh-huh.”
Just as I was about to see the corners of Lucy’s mouth turn up slightly as she looked back at me, the Demon Lord’s army led by Lucy revealed itself in its huge form.
In response to the invasive species pouring from the sky and trying to cover the ground, the ships and flying species of the Demon King’s army, which emerged from the ground and soared into the sky, launched towards the enemy along with the higher-ranking species.
“I want to show you. “The strength of our allies.”
Although it was a short period of time, less than two hours, Lucy, who was projecting her power to Earth for the first time, reached out to me first.
It meant that he would go to the battlefield together and show himself fighting. It may not seem like something a normal Lucy, who prioritizes calculations, would do, but for some reason, it seemed like there was something that took priority over calculations right now.
“good.”
My heart trembled, but I did not refuse. Because I didn’t want to trample on his desire to prove his growth in front of my eyes.
I also thought that if I was with Lucy, there wouldn’t be any problems. In fact, so far, Lucy has shown overwhelming performance even against invasive species.
“They keep coming, and the number of enemies that have already crossed over is at least 30,000. It’s hard to know why, but if this continues to open like a dungeon or gate, it will be difficult to defend districts that are still at a low level.”
Having secured minimum combat power by covering my entire body with Nano and Omega, I boarded one of the ship hulls with Lucy and headed for the sky.
This area, already covered by a purple-black curtain, has long since become a battlefield for the Demon King’s army and invading species. The ground is a sea of fire itself.
“I’m just saying this just in case you don’t know, but please don’t hurt people. You know because you’ve already done it, right? When there was no need to harm survivors on the continent. In other worlds, they are called man-eating monsters, but here… … “It would be much better if we just let people know that we are not hostile.”
“We are doing so.”
Just in case, I told Lucy not to attack people first. Lucy also reassured me by saying that she would not attack less nutritious humans when there were more appetizing and annoying enemies in front of her.
“Over there, over there. “That’s where their main force is.”
With artillery fire flying from all directions and battles taking place, Lucy and the Demon King’s army, soaring high into the sky, finally discovered the main body of the enemies floating in the sky.
“Is it a huge ship chain?”
It was a kind of land with a huge area, or a floating body that looked like a jellyfish. They say that the gigantic aerial fortress with what looks like a nest on its head is the backbone of this invasion.
“It’s a new type of ship. I can’t fathom how on earth they manage to push their limits and maintain that huge body. If we get that, we may be able to discover new powers as a result of calculations.”
Meanwhile, Lucy coveted that air fortress. As they have done so far, the invasive species were the first to bring out new weapons that they themselves could not create.
Since she had seen the benefits so far, it was perhaps natural for Lucy to be greedy.
“This.”
“Why, what’s wrong?”
However, it was then that an unexpected variable arose in Lucy’s calculations. The calm expression suddenly hardened, and something that was being calculated quickly was revealed through the facial expression of the body.
“The enemy’s power surges. “It’s as if we lured our troops here on purpose.”
“what?”
However, Lucy’s subsequent answer was shocking. Surprised to hear those words, I instinctively looked around, and indeed, the flying and higher-ranking species of our allies who had been fighting fiercely had disappeared before I knew it, and there were only enemies around.
“It was a variable due to a performance that has not been shown so far, but it is something that can be overcome.”
Lucy, who came up with an answer in such a situation, picked up her weapon, Longinus. The enormous energy concentrated in it instantly produces transcendental power that surpasses its weight class, so it is called a decisive battle weapon.
“Breakthrough completed.”
With that one strike, Lucy destroyed the enemies who had set up a trap and cleared the way in one go.
As the Demon King’s army had already reached the enemy’s fortress, it seemed like a counterattack led by Lucy could easily put an end to the enemy’s life as it had done so far.
