My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil - Chapter 199
Episode 199 Endless Evolution (9)
“you… … Why him?”
[He is disturbed. With our evolution.]
[For our gluttony.]
The moment when Jiyeon Lee was attacked by a special invasive species. Lucy, who was hanging around, found out the identity of the person who was strongly interfering with her and gritted her teeth and opened her mouth.
And at Lucy’s words, the invasive species finally opened its mouth. How long had it been since we hadn’t communicated? The speech was stilted and broken here and there.
[Humans are inefficient, emotions are unhealthy.]
[Only gluttony makes us evolve.]
“I am not you.”
Gritting her teeth, Lucy clenched her fist, condensed the magical power she had gathered into that fist, and punched the opponent in the face.
A shock similar to an explosion occurred, and Lucy’s arms were completely shattered and exploded, from her fists to her arms. On the other hand, only the mask covering the opponent’s face was broken and scattered.
The face revealed under the mask was that of a beautiful girl with red eyes, and unlike her horribly altered body, her face was no different from Lucy’s avatar.
[you are me.]
[More efficient evolution must be achieved.]
It had no intention of letting Lucy go. I planned to kill Changhyun right here and completely corrupt Lucy.
[The calculation is perfect.]
He had no doubt that as long as he killed Changhyeon, everything would go as he intended. That’s because he had blind faith in his own calculation formula.
It is a monster in the true sense of the word that has been fighting and accumulating data for longer than Lucy.
Soon, he knew all the data about Lucy, who was like himself, and controlled all the variables, and was on the verge of making the most efficient bet and succeeding, even while being hindered by the system he hated.
“It seems like each other’s calculation formulas are different. In my calculations, your odds of winning are 50%.”
[That can’t be possible. We are one and the same.]
“Then prove it.”
But there was one thing it overlooked. At some point, the current Lucy has walked a different path from her past self.
Unlike that, Lucy did not grow up lonely. Changhyun, who had the greatest influence on both of them, also had clear differences.
Its creator was just an ordinary college student from beginning to end. He became aware of its existence much later, and the help he could give was limited, and at the same time, their communication was lacking.
But Lucy’s emergence was different. In real life, he faced threats that endangered himself and his surroundings and felt the need for strength, so he actively communicated with Lucy. We worked together, fought together, and grew together.
As a result, Lucy evolved in many ways in a different direction. The biggest difference is ego.
Although there are still some shortcomings, Lucy’s ego, which realized who she was and what she truly wanted, was much stronger and more solid than that.
[The components… … .]
“Obviously we share a lot. However, the program that uses it is different.”
[Error occurred. Variable appearance. An impossible story. Data analysis is perfect.]
Lucy mobilized all her computational power and began to push away what was slowly taking over her. What helped me the most in this process were the sub-programs that were actively working, including fighting Liam at this very moment.
The sub-programs that followed Lucy with their own egos rejected it. The same goes for special species like Raon and Yuria.
It was the same hivemind, but due to differences in its composition, it failed to absorb Lucy. That’s because he didn’t dare allow even a single self other than himself into the group.
[Running an impromptu hypothesis. Power destruction.]
Although it had created tens of thousands of hypotheses, it couldn’t come up with a single hypothesis that Lucy would overcome it, so it hastily revised its plan. In a hurry, they want to destroy everything, whether Lucy’s avatar or the Demon King’s army, and kill Changhyun.
“Where?”
But in the process it missed one. The existence of Nano and Omega wrapped around Changhyun’s body.
The moment Lucy regained control, Changhyun, wearing Nano and Omega, which began to function normally again, moved immediately after providing first aid to Jiyeon Lee and called Longinus, who had fallen on the floor, into his hands.
[no!!!]
I shouted urgently, awakening the expression of emotion I had forgotten for a long time, but it was already too late. Lucy unleashed her magic by unleashing not only the remaining strength of her avatar but also the strength of all nearby Demon Lords.
That magic is an amplifier that amplifies power. Changhyun, with the huge magic circle behind him, flew up into the sky and aimed Longinus at the center of the air fortress. Soon, energy more powerful than the bombardment of a huge ship was emitted and penetrated the air fortress.

“Wipe your neck and wait there, I’ll go pick it up soon.”
[Don’t be cocky. trash!]
The fortress collapsed, making it impossible to defy the system.
Changhyun, who struck a blow, brought Lucy’s half-broken avatar into his arms from the collapsing air fortress.
Lucy, who saw it being sucked into the crack it had crawled out of again, sneered and hurled harsh words at her in its arms. It quickly recovered its emotions, half of its own accord, and also cursed with a vicious look on its face and fell into the crack along with its broken body. disappeared.
“already?”
[I am okay. As a result, no damage occurred. It is judged that the result is more than the investment.]
Almost at the same time, time ran out and Lucy and the Demon King returned to the original world no matter how much damage they had suffered, and in an instant, there was nothing left in the sky except Changhyeon.
He was startled when he caught Lee Ji-yeon from falling. Lucy had already returned to her original place.

“To sum it up, ultimately, something like this will happen again someday. “He’s just like you, so there’s no point in destroying his avatar.”
[All you have to do is to perfect the portal technology and find out the coordinates of their home base. No matter how long it takes, you must find it and erase it all. Because that is my mission.]
“okay. “That will work.”
Holding Lee Ji-yeon in his arms, he avoided people’s eyes, landed on a nearby mountain, and unlocked the Stealth and Nano/Omega powers.
He looked down at her with a stern face and frowned when he saw her unconscious wound.
[My heart was destroyed all at once. Nanos, some of which were separated from Nano and Omega and urgently injected, are taking over that role, but all they do is hold on to life.]
“You gave your life for me. I hope you bring it back to life safely. “You can do it, Lucy.”
[It is possible, but to do so, she must be transported here. Also, once the nano cells enter her body, she cannot return to being a normal human. I recommend making it a special type like Kim Seo-yoon.]
Lucy, who usually kept Lee Ji-yeon in check, didn’t bother to do so this time. Because it was he who first lent her help to save his life, which was endangered due to the appearance of a powerful enemy and his own calculation mistake.
“Do it that way. “You can come back soon anyway, right?”
[That’s right.]
In the end, he decided to send Jiyeon Lee to Lucy. If I leave him here like this, he will remain in a half-corpse state for the rest of his life, never to wake up.
[It was handed over safely.]
“Good job.”
Lying down on the floor, he picked up his cell phone, which had not even had a scratch in all this chaos, and looked at Jiyeon Lee, who had crossed over into that world.
Lucy was already putting Jiyeon Lee into a puddle full of digestive enzymes. It was a process to completely collect her body data and accurately replicate damaged cells.
“How do you feel now? How it feels right now to treat her with your own hands.”
[Previously, if I had Ji-yeon Lee under my command, I would have thoroughly cared about who was in charge and tried to use her like Kim Seo-yoon or Raon, but now I don’t feel that way. It’s a strange feeling that I can’t explain.]
“It means you appreciate her.”
He chuckled and told Lucy what he was feeling right now. Lucy is not convinced that she feels grateful to Jiyeon Lee and denies it, but her feelings are honest.
“I need to figure out how to explain it to people.”
He muttered absentmindedly as soon as he saw a large number of rescue vehicles and soldiers entering the city with the curtain lifted.
People like Lee Ji-yeon and Kim Seo-yoon will soon return to Earth, so it’s convenient to make excuses in advance.

“There are survivors underground here. Quickly bring your equipment!”
“The injured first, quickly!”
A scene of terrible disaster. Even though several days have passed since the accident occurred, it has not yet been properly resolved. Because it was such a destructive and tragic incident.
“It’s been a while? “Anyway, you bothered to come out here.”
“I just came to see the news after hearing the news. “It was too late at least.”
Baek Seung-cheol, president of the Korea Awakened Association. At this site, he met a special person. Liam, who took off his sunglasses, recognized Baek Seung-cheol and smiled.
“Hmm, I guess it’s because of the Demon Lord.”
“It’s not even funny. “How dare those damn monsters who kill people at random become guardian deities?”
Liam smiled, showing his teeth at the sight of him sighing. It was a laugh, but the energy in it was extraordinary.
“But what can I do? The actions of those monsters clearly remain. They didn’t hurt people. Instead, he saved me. “By the way, don’t talk about confidential information too openly.”
“That is quite possible because they are not just beasts. Isn’t this the Demon King’s army that the Demon King moves? “If they had thought they were allies, they might not have harmed people.”
“Ji, are you saying that the Demon King’s army and our people are now on the same team?”
“It can’t be. To be exact, it’s him. “To begin with, it’s a demon lord, but even the locals say it’s their first time seeing such a demon lord and they don’t know much about him, so he’s an unusual guy.”
Liam took out a photo and looked at it. A photo taken at the time of the incident showed a black monster moving across the sky.
“No way, it has something to do with the Demon King.”
Liam grinned at the fact that the monster he had been chasing for a long time was also related to the enemies he had been fighting tirelessly recently.
Because it’s easier to talk this way. Just fight against both of them.
“Please continue to cooperate in the future. “It’s all for the safety of the world.”
“Grunt.”
Liam turned around. Now that I had the clue, I planned to go back to the church and fight.
[Isn’t it good to return home soon? It seems like invasive species are slowly becoming stronger.]
“I have a good feeling. The devil’s army that wants to play with us is a more valuable opponent than an invasive species. “I’m sure.”
On the way, his constellation quietly said something. However, Liam seemed convinced and focused more on the Demon King’s army.
[It feels good. Because I look like someone.]
His constellation could only click its tongue and sigh at the sight.
