Chap 138-Please Become My Wife…? 4

 

“Alice, I want to take you as my wife. With the plague and Blood Contamination’s power I possess, I will invade reality. With your abilities, you will collapse cyberspace… and the ruined world can be rebuilt as much as we want if you and I join hands.”

“Ha-hah, dreaming of a bright future while sticking ice into someone’s body. Are you out of your mind?”

“I don’t want to be like this either. Alice, give up now and cooperate with me. I won’t demand you to love me. Starting from friendship is fine too.”

“Yeah, I hate men.”

The reason Luichella tried to talk to Alice was none other than his own strength.

Objectively, it is true that Alice has achieved outstanding performance and various accomplishments.

As a mere Third-Class Overseer and a returnee, she achieved achievements that others would only achieve once or twice in their lifetime, one after another.

It is true that Alice is great and wonderful, but to say that her strength can be compared to that of a Dunhill Family’s descendant is absolutely not the case.

‘We are civilized beings with culture and common sense. Let’s talk first, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll have to use coercive means.’

Luichella Dunhill believed that he could overpower Alice with force.

He had reviewed all of Alice’s actions, the Barrier Agency, CCTV, and the Central Administrative Department’s records to learn about Alice’s strength, power, and abilities. He confirmed that, apart from Alice being able to infiltrate the network as an android and hack and control all kinds of machines and AI, her real-world capabilities were inferior to his.

In fact, Luichella is almost equivalent to a First-Class Overseer if he only filled his performance as an Overseer.

Of course, he is much weaker than Oriana or Fira, even among First-Class Overseers, but the important thing is that with Luichella’s abilities, it is not impossible to defeat Alice by force and forcibly take her as his wife.

‘Her magic ability is threatening because she can learn all kinds of magic formula spread on the network. However, the output of mana itself is one-time. Rather, Alice’s physical abilities, including the mechanical tendril she has and the blade stored in her arm, are more threatening.’

However, for Luichella, a space transfer ability user, Alice’s physical advantage, which can only inflict effective hits when close, is as good as non-existent.

If he were a human teleporter, he might be defeated by Alice because one person’s brain cannot handle unexpected ambushes, sudden strikes, or quick situation assessments.

‘The ‘me’ residing in my body totals 879. There is no chance of making a mistake against Alice or having the timing of space transfer be too fast or too slow.’

Luichella Dunhill’s ability is, simply put, teleportation.

Of course, he can’t do it as he pleases.

There are limits to distance and weight.

Large-scale space transfer is impossible, but he can freely designate and send himself and the space and objects within 5 meters of him to somewhere, and he can also bring the space he sent somewhere back to his eyes.

Space movement itself is incredibly difficult to calculate formula and mana arrays, and the reason Luichella can do it is that he essentially has hundreds of maggots to help with the formula calculation.

Even though there are clear limitations, the utilization was infinitely diverse.

Of course, it is not comparable to a human teleporter.

Inside Luichella Dunhill’s shell, hundreds of maggots wriggle, though not as many as Fira.

Each maggot thinks like parallel processing, designating the range of each space transfer, creating formula, and designating targets.

Isolating Fira’s ice magic perfectly in space and then transferring it back into Alice’s stomach to detonate it was not difficult for Luichella.

An ordinary Overseer would have been declared dead here.

But Alice still had her eyes wide open.

The sensation of half of her body freezing and being destroyed by the cold magic is far from pleasant, but along with the pain that pricked her synapses, Alice felt envy.

Ah, I’m envious.

I understood the formula.

The space transfer formula manifested in my stomach is truly wonderful and well-made. I wondered how precise and advanced the formula was when the cold magic, trapped in space, scattered.

‘If I were the Demon Lord… I would have stayed up all night analyzing and interpreting this formula to create it in my own way.’

But now there is no need to stay up all night.

No, it’s already over.

Alice smiled so wide that her mouth tore, even though she felt her abdomen collapsing with the ice.

Ah, is it really dangerous?

Is this really an opponent that I can’t beat even if I mobilize all my power at this point?

Gaia and the True Ancestor are completely different cases.

When she fought Gaia, she had lost her reason and was only a fragment, and the True Ancestor could not establish a normal fight thanks to Alice’s natural enemy, ‘Energy Drain’.

But Luichella Dunhill is different.

He can use his full power without any penalties in the confrontation with Alice, and Luichella’s own capabilities are born with a silver spoon and a super strong person belonging to the top 0.1 percent of the Ark at first glance.

Even though she felt a threat to her life, Alice smiled.

A sense of being alive.

Even though she is an android, she is now truly feeling the threat to her life, which she had only vaguely felt.

And the former Demon Lord does not succumb to the fear of death.

She has lived for too long to succumb, and thanks to Luichella, the fading life was rather full of vitality.

“Alice, the difference in capabilities is clear. Won’t you submit willingly?”

“Yeah, screw you.”

-Bang!

Alice’s mechanical tendril aimed at Luichella’s body in a surprise attack.

It was a quick surprise attack, but Luichella lightly stepped back into the transfer gate he had created behind him, as if he had expected it. Alice’s mechanical tendril pierced the empty air.

At the same time, the mechanical tendril of Alice, which attacked the place where Luichella was, had large holes pierced through it.

“…!”

“It’s a space mine. Cutting out the designated space and transferring it neatly cuts off anything.”

“Oh, really? Thanks for letting me know.-Pop! (Sound effect)

“Hoo, her mobility doesn’t wane even though she only has one leg.”

Luichella transferred the cold into his stomach, and Alice’s left leg was also destroyed.

The dangling metal frame skeleton was exposed to the outside, but Alice was fine.

The mechanical tendril of the spine spread a magnetic field, supporting the ground like a spider’s leg, which helped Alice’s movement.

An ordinary person.

No, even Awakened or Overseers would naturally die if a lump of cold that becomes a bomb and explodes in their stomach is transferred, but Alice’s body was fundamentally different from a bioengineered organism.

She does not have internal organs and a heart, which can be said to be human weaknesses, and the parts of her whole body can be replaced immediately with damaged parts, so the loss of combat power is minimized.

‘Her judgment is quite fast.’

In order for Luichella to designate a target for transfer, the target’s position had to be fixed.

Teleporters calculate the transfer formula based on the space where the target is located, not the target itself, so if Alice moves quickly without stopping, she will not be caught up in the transfer.

However, Luichella had hundreds of maggots that could calculate the space transfer formula.

[Wound Transfer]

-Puff puff puff! (Sound effect)

The air around Alice temporarily fell into a vacuum state and then returned to normal.

Hundreds of spaces were cut out in an instant, making the surroundings similar to a vacuum state.

It’s called teleportation. It was similar to hundreds of invisible bullets flying at Alice non-stop.

“Haha…! I’ll die if I get grazed!?”

“Don’t worry, Alice. You can survive even if only your head remains, right? I will cherish you like a doll.”

“And cut off the rebellious limbs?”

“That’s right.”

“But I have no desire to marry a pervert who enjoys amputating limbs?”

“Your will is no longer important!”

-Bang!

Alice felt her artificial hair and three fingers on her right hand being cut off by the space cut that she couldn’t avoid.

‘It hurts.’

It hurts a lot.

Alice frowned without realizing it because the pain system itself had risen to the same level as a living human by uniting with Gaia.

However, Alice was just happy and delighted at the appearance of a strong enemy who made her feel the reality of being alive and a sense of crisis beyond that.

Just like in her Demon Lord days.

She doesn’t have any memories, but the habits that appear like habits seem to indicate that the past Alice was quite belligerent.

‘Theresa, start cold analysis.’

[Abdominal Part]

[Spinal Part]

[Reproductive Part]

[Damage to each part confirmed]

[Damage cause analysis – Cold Magic]

[Magic array, cold formula, mana self-destruction interpretation implemented.]

It would have been different if it was an attack on external parts.

Theresa’s bioanalysis system is so precise and sensitive that it is impossible to interpret it with the destruction of the outer skin.

However, I, who have united with big shots like the True Ancestor and Gaia, have a kind of ‘adaptability’.

Adaptation to the environment.

Adaptation to mana.

And adaptation to attacks.

For every attack the opponent throws at me

I analyze this.

Other humans cannot do it.

Even the most intelligent race cannot calculate and reverse the complex magic formula and mana array that unfolds in an instant.

‘But I can do it.’

The moment Luichella’s space transfer formula and the cold magic exploding inside it eroded her body, she naturally realized.

I can interpret this.

I can analyze it.

Even though I am the main personality, I am much more foolish and clumsy than Theresa, but I can still do it instinctively.

I can reverse engineer and implement your magic formula!

Mana formula calculation.

Array calculation.

Resource shortage…

I’m not enough alone.

My overheated body is already getting hot.

Even though the cerebral mainframe is fine, a significant portion of the body has been damaged by the space cut that Luichella shot.

It’s okay.

I’m not alone.

Because ‘we’ scattered in the lower layer all share and execute simultaneous calculations.

‘Guys.’

[Yes.]

[Yes.]

[Marlang!]

[Alice is calling.]

[Including individual Marlang. 50 dolls. All can be operated.]

‘Will you become me?’

Become me.

To Alice’s words from the Abyss, the 50 dolls and Marlang residing in the lower layer responded immediately.

The answer is ‘Yes.’

It’s not for nothing that Alice has been carrying around 50 dolls and Marlang.

She connected her own closed network to them, and the dolls and Marlang connected to Alice are the same as sharing the computing power with Alice as the main system.

In other words, Alice can simultaneously operate the electronic brain of 50 dolls and the bioengineered artificial brain with the immortal characteristics of Marlang, in addition to the main body.

Reverse calculation.

Calculation.

Calculation.

Point, island.

Surface.

Space.

Main system result report.

Implementation.

Possible.

‘You made a mistake. Luichella Dunhill…!’

There’s also a saying like this, right?

Trials that don’t kill you make you stronger.

‘You should have killed me with the first attack!’

Adapted.

The particles of liquid metal and Gaia’s twisted factors combine.

The calculation is complete.

The time it takes for the metal factor and Gaia’s biological factor to combine did not take even 0.001 seconds, and the result was immediately realized.

Alice stopped moving and stopped in place.

‘Did she give up?’

Luichella raised the corners of his mouth.

He thought she was a rebellious wife, but she is realistic and rational like a machine.

It was clear that she had made the judgment that she could not win with her current specs, so she would eventually become his wife.

But Alice slowly pointed her finger at Luichella.

‘Is she not surrendering?’

Well, it doesn’t matter.

Luichella had already grasped all of Alice’s attack abilities and implementable magic formula.

Whatever attack comes, it can be dealt with by space transfer, and Luichella finds the resistance of Alice, who will become his wife, just cute.

Regardless, Alice smiled slyly and moved her finger.

As if holding a fan.

Like Fira.

Calculation, formula implementation is perfect.

Energy is drawn from Gaia.

“Freeze.”

[Absolution Zero]

“…!”

Luichella, who belatedly felt a sense of crisis, tried to use space transfer to leave the place with an astonished face.

However, Alice interpreted not only Luichella’s space formula but also the cold magic that Fira had spread at the same time.

It is not limited to freezing objects and entities or spreading cold, but also applying Luichella’s space magic to transfer cold to the space.

The impossible thing of freezing the entire space has happened.

“Ku, cough! How…!”

Luichella’s face contorted at the cold that had literally crushed and invaded his space formula.

‘She, she copied my space formula and… my sister’s cold self-destruction formula?!’

Adaptation and imitation.

Gaia’s privilege and ability.

Now that it has become Alice’s privilege, shouldn’t she use it?
