My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil

Chapter 103 – Corps (3)

“Dragons are a race that existed only in the distant past, and now have become a fantasy. But the legacy they left behind is still being used today.”

“yes. I know.”

“Are you sure you want that? The existence that gives instructions to my sister.”

“…just wants information.”

YuRia explained the situation to her younger brother, Chris, and asked for help. In the process, Lucy’s exact intentions were not mentioned. Lucy will surely send an army to intercept it, but if you say it too bluntly, you are effectively revealing that you are related to Lucy.

“Let’s take a look. I think I’ve heard similar rumors before.”

Of course, Chris couldn’t refuse her request. Anyway, using the fact that he is a knight from the Allied Forces, if you ask someone more influential, such as your superior, you’ll hear something.

“From the rumors I picked up, I heard that the dragon’s heart is too hard and condensed with a lot of mana, so it’s impossible to handle it properly with our current level. I don’t understand why the enemies and allies are aiming for it.”

But as he left, he muttered something incomprehensible. With the current technology, only a portion of the dragon’s heart’s power could be used.

Therefore, it was incomprehensible from his point of view that he was willing to fight for just that.

‘That’s not wrong. Maou-nim, who has accumulated skills in creating and handling strong cores, can process them at will, but what about others?’

Yuria also agreed with that opinion. It was natural for Lucy to covet the dragon’s heart, but seeing that even those who hadn’t shown much reaction so far suddenly became so feverish, it must have been that she had an ulterior motive.

[If you think about where it is behind them, you will have some confidence. So, before they take the strategic asset called the Dragon’s Heart, we must take it away]

Lucy did not rule out that possibility either. All the more because I know what kind of forces are behind the Great Saint and the Church, which are at the center of the current war in the first place.

“It’s not like a day or two for the church to do nonsense.”

“They said they were aiming for the dragon’s heart…”

“However, most of the unimaginable explosion magic came back after neglecting those nonsense.”

Templar periodic reporting time. After the brief report, while everyone was scattering again, Chris approached the man who was his superior and vice-captain of the Knights and asked about the rumors he had heard.

As expected, he knew more than Chris, who had merely picked up rumors.

“Anyway, I will definitely try to keep it. But we can’t keep it there forever, so we’ll try to move it to a safer place inland.”

The vice-captain said that the Dragon’s Heart transport operation would begin. Currently, the Dragon’s Heart exists in the private estate of a baron, right near the borderline where the church forces and the allied forces collide.

The forces of both sides are gathering from there, but the allied forces, which have to prepare for an emergency, do not have to keep their heart there.

“The Demon World participates in the Allied Forces, and the Church also mobilizes strange techniques, and the balance is dragged on. Maybe the continent will harden in this bisected state. Just like the time before the Great War when this continent was divided into pieces by country and region to check and cooperate with each other. I don’t understand, but in a state where you can’t move hastily, did you decide that the ancient artifact was something that could break the balance of the battlefield?”

It started with Chris’ question, but the vice-captain, who was usually interested in strategy and tactics, muttered in agony to himself.

Chris just listened in silence. Because I couldn’t get in the way of my superior’s worries.

‘If the continent is divided by two powers, a war of nerves will unfold until one side collapses in the end. Can peace be broken in just a few years?’

However, he thought about himself and hardened his face.

Having been a party to a great war, I know well what the aftermath of the war is like. It was not easy to accept the fact that the peace obtained through that terrible process was shattered again, and even though they obtained peace with the Demon World, which did not exist in history, they had to fight as before.

‘It would be better if a stronger, true ruler who can unite us appears.’

Chris, who didn’t like the rulers of the allied forces as well as the churches and saints who were at war not to give each other’s interests and rights, even thought about what it would be like if someone suddenly appeared to destroy this balance.

Although the Great War was devastating, everyone fought with one heart and one mind against a common enemy. Of course, it was just a short thought of a young knight who had just come of age.

“Then, if you obtain that dragon’s heart, it will be of significant help to you.”

“That’s right. One more strategic weapon will emerge that can change the balance of the battlefield in favor of our allies.”

“Your calculations won’t be wrong.”

I trusted Lucy. The fact that Lucy made a risky choice must have been carried out because there was a solid reason for it, or because there was a benefit that exceeded the risk.

The more we intervene in the fight between the Church and the allied forces, the more our identity will be exposed and we will be warned, but Lucy thought it would be beneficial to risk it and obtain the dragon’s heart.

“I don’t know how far the opponent can prepare, but if we use Assault through the Sky again, it might really not work.”

“Obviously, it is calculated that showing humans more than this super-parasitic species will do more harm than good.”

In fact, Lucy seemed to have her own way of thinking. At the time of Raon’s abduction, it is too risky to try the same way to those who know that we intervened in the form of Island Alpha or other soldiers who were exposed.

Enemies who are not yet clear about our intentions may focus on us the nerves and energy we spend fighting each other.

“So this time, after landing troops in an uninhabited area, we will raid them from the ground. When they run a transport operation to transport the dragon’s heart to another place. The goal is to ambush them and take the dragon’s heart.”

“…that looks good to me as well.”

I agreed to the operation Lucy had designed herself. If we have no choice but to expose the intervention anyway, we have to hide and confuse information as much as possible.

“I’m not just playing.”

Of course, I wouldn’t just watch Lucy writhing and struggling. Even though I could still live as a normal graduating college student if I could, the reason I went around with Lee Ji-yeon was purely to help Lucy.

As much as I help, Lucy will depend on me. No matter how fast Lucy grows up, if she needs to depend on me, if I have something to do, our relationship will be stronger.

“It’s a normal dungeon raid. It’s medium to large in size, but you’ll need to eliminate the invasive species army there to get your hands on the clues they have. But among those clues, it looks like there’s something you want.”

I showed Lucy what I was looking for all along. As much as people’s interest is hot, it wasn’t that difficult to find information through the means of the Internet.

What I discovered was about a dungeon.

Like other large dungeons, of course, there are monsters defending the core to defend against our attacks, forming a fortress.

“Various kinds of monsters are mixed and guarding the place. But that’s not what matters to us. The stronghold of those guys behind me. That’s it.”

“From the outside, it looks like a black mushroom or plant.”

“The advance party who explored the dungeon testified that those black things are a kind of energy generator that supplies the enemy with power to fight. It’s just that far, so I don’t know the details.”

It’s literally just one possibility. It wasn’t even that Lucy could eat ‘all’ lifeforms and reproduce.

“Looks good enough. If the current nutrient supply system can be supplemented with a new system, that alone… Kim Chang-hyun, please give me that. I will repay you more than that.”

Of course, Lucy has responded positively with just that. He didn’t just respond in a dry way, he nodded vigorously at his own head as seen on the screen and flinched.

I really can’t believe that BoxD, the assistant artificial intelligence that is included in all other Stardust mobile phones, is the basis.

“I will give it to you. certainly.”

It was no longer a simple investment concept. Just as parents don’t invest in their children hoping for results, I was willing to give anything to see Lucy achieve what she wanted.

“But it takes a little time. You can participate in the raid through the United Nations like now, but there is still a little time left.”

“In the meantime, I will focus on my existing plans.”

“You don’t want to use Kim Seo-yoon for this mission?”

“Kim Seo-yoon is still collecting data.”

In the process of checking the plan once again, the topic turned to Kim Seo-yoon. Lucy is actively using her and accumulating data.

The process of finding out how far her power goes and how to use it more efficiently.

From my point of view, Kim Seo-yoon seems to have adapted well. Is it effective to tell the news that the family is doing well?

“Being able to amplify the powers of the Awoken with strong will can be a great advantage, but the systems they are connected to can’t work without their selves. Therefore, the large-scale Awoken army training that was envisioned will be discarded due to efficiency issues.

“…yes.”

Of course, Lucy also attempted to forcibly control the Awakeners to create a new type of soldier.

However, after using Kim Seo-yoon a few times, the plan was scrapped because it did not work out soon. There is a high probability that I would have refused to indiscriminately send the Awakened to Lucy, but it’s fortunate anyway.

I promised to give anything to Lucy, but I couldn’t give people away no matter how much.

“But we are willing to embrace those who voluntarily declare that they will serve us. So far, we have judged that such beings are unnecessary and inefficient, but since enough data has accumulated, it seems that they can be used as variables in themselves as you said in the past. In my opinion, Jiyeon Lee is enough…”

“It may or may not be. Let’s think about this later.”

I cut off Lucy from mentioning Jiyeon Lee.

I’ve thought about it too, but it’s because Lucy’s mention of Lee Ji-yeon just didn’t seem to mean pure power expansion.

I know that Lucy usually keeps Lee Ji-yeon in check or is wary. If Jiyeon Lee joined the Demon King’s Army, she would inevitably lose ownership and control of her body to Lucy. maybe that’s what you’re aiming for.

“Let’s start doing our own thing. The next plan, decide after the current plan is successful.”

Communication was cut off there. Calmly, slowly. It is also the role of parents to correct what is going astray.
