chapter 68

“The bomb was successfully placed on the asteroid.”

“Great!”

The android before me seemed incredibly pleased, but their expressions didn’t match their words. I guess there are limitations to how closely they can replicate humans after all..

“There are 12 hours, 24 minutes and 54 seconds until detonation, Valen will now set a course back to Earth.”

‘Johra why don’t you take the chance to ask her what we talked about.’

‘Oh right.’

“Hold on a second Lena, is the Kuiper Belt far from here?”

“At Valen’s current movement speed could arrive there in four days.”

“Can you show me the trajectories of the recent asteroid impacts on Earth?”

“Here you go, the brighter the point the more recent they were, while the darker ones were one of the first to arrive on the planet.”

It was demonstrated on the 3D hologram before us.

“Lena if we assume that all this is being orchestrated by a single entity, can we try and track the origin of the asteroids?”

“An interesting idea, the might be a large margin of error but we should be able to get a general idea.”

“Please guide the ship to the middle of that area.”

“I’ll change our course and we should arrive there in 7 days, 14 hours, 15 minutes and 16 seconds.”

“Why have your answers become more precise all of a sudden.”

“I got scolded by my sister.”

‘Johra that is the proper military answer, you need to understand Zaira’s personality, she is a bit of an ottaku.’

‘Hoot. Gross, then are you also an otaku?’

‘What nonsense are you spewing out, I’m not an otaku, I’m a normal person.’

‘How could you say that considering the personalities of the A.I. you’ve created.’

‘Yea, but I’m normal….’

‘Sure, let’s just agree that you’re a closet otaku.’

‘No! No!’

“Lena, open up your hidden fantasy collection!”

“Just follow the lights.”

I spent the whole journey indulging in these masterpiece movie. If I had been in a human body I would have teared up at least a dozen times, but I was able to better focus on the quality of the movie because I was an undead. Still, it was too bad that I couldn’t enjoy some popcorn, cola and dried squid.

‘Johra how can you be so relaxed, simply watching movies like this? What about the entity hidden behind the scenes?’

‘Do you think that’s all I’m doing? Tell me, what’s the most important thing when it comes to creation magic.’

‘Imagination’

‘That’s right’

‘Ah… I see, so you weren’t just passing the time.’

‘Of course not, anyway so now that my Creation Magic has  levelled up, Do I still have only a max of three where the new one replaces the oldest?’

‘At level 2 you have the option to rearrange the order of your spells and keep 5 of them’

‘Wow, that’s a pretty big difference, what about the third level Gnoss?’
