My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil

Episode 40 – Disruption of Balance (10)

Episode 40 – Disruption of Balance (10)

The war does not end simply because one battle has been won. In particular, if the victor tries to exterminate the loser without mercy, the resistance naturally increases. Because even the losers struggle to die.

Rather, considering the large area and the aftermath, it may be more difficult to overcome the resistance.

“Because he was the strongest, he tried to stay and fight, and he succeeded in capturing Andras, the goblin king, but more than 69% of the goblin territory still remains. As we are now, we will divide our troops into two and strive for ‘extinction and nesting’.”

“Is the nearby estate really unresponsive? I don’t think these goblins could have stayed still until this point.”

I scratched my head at Lucy’s report. According to my common sense, it doesn’t seem like the goblins really did nothing and lost.”

“Currently obtaining data by interrogating prisoners.”

“Okay, there’s no need to show it.”

I flinched at Lucy’s nod and hit her first before she moved. The word is data acquisition, but Lucy has no ability to peek into the opponent’s head.

Lucy only recognizes the terrible act of torture as one of the methods of obtaining data.

Of course, the effect was good, and Lucy, who pursued efficiency in everything, was becoming more and more a specialist in torture.

“According to the data obtained so far, it seems true that the goblins have asked for help from the surrounding territories.”

“As expected, you knew and ignored it. They want us to catch their rivals.”

Upon learning the truth, I smiled bitterly. Because their intentions are understandable. But apart from being understandable, it didn’t look good.

What they’re doing now is like burning thatch for a while to catch bed bugs. Of course, since it gives us time, it is an act we are grateful for.

“Also, it seems that the attention of demon realm lords is focused on the outside world in the first place. The Great Saint Evelia, who coaxed the demon realm lords to rebel and cut off the long-standing law of great war. The war she caused in the Central Continent is sweeping the entire continent, so keep an eye on it.”

“That’s a good thing for us, too.”

Closing my eyes and taking in the information in my head, I frowned and murmured. As contact with goblins increased recently, the amount of information obtained increased rapidly.

It is natural. It is because we are no longer a small power that swarms in the labyrinth, but a huge power that wants supremacy in this area or beyond.

Now, I had to know not only what was going on around me, but also what was happening in the world right now, and what kind of history and process I had gone through. That was my belief. And Lucy, as always, followed my words wholeheartedly.

“Then, for the time being, are we just keeping an eye on the movements of the other lords while stabilizing the occupied territory?”

“That’s right.”

“great. It feels like all the urgent fires have been put out.”

Time is running out slowly. I got up from my seat and got dressed.

No matter what Lucy does in the other world or what she thinks I am, in reality I am just a normal student going to school to get a job.

Recently, I’ve been to many dangerous places to help Lucy, but I didn’t really want to do that.

Because I am a person who suits petit bourgeois living day by day.

＜Gate 123 Victims Joint Incense Center＞

“…”

However, many things have already changed, and the world, which continues to change even now, kept trying to change my essence.

“They say that response training for gates and defense failures is added to reserve army training, damn it…”

“I did it just in case because it was like a neighborhood. Anyway, he was a friend I met just a few days ago…”

“They say he’s hiding the fact that he’s an Awakener. I don’t like fighting, and I don’t like being watched. It’s not obvious…”

Inside the classroom where students are actively talking about their own topics. They were all different and different, but they all had one thing in common. Most of them are things about the world that are starting to change.

The world has changed in a short time and people have changed even more.

The door to the other dimension opens and monsters pour out from there, and the opponents of the monsters also appear.

Still, the more I adapted, the more people became calm. As if the world collapsed even if one or two people died in a gate defense battle, the media, which used to send out breaking news, no longer respond to just a few deaths.

People have become a little more accustomed to death thanks to monsters running rampant with only hatred and murderous intent. It means that the balance of the past has collapsed. And upon it a new order was being established.

‘It’s nothing different from the demon world.’

I compared this reality to the Demon World, a world somewhere beyond that shakes with the appearance of the demon king, Lucy.

And the result is that the essence is the same in the end. The appearance of the goblins, embarrassed by the appearance of Lucy and the demon army, is exactly like ours in reality.

That said, if we couldn’t overcome it, we would collapse like the goblins.

“Ehh. Honestly, I don’t think it’s really ruining the world. If you look at the countries that are at war while refusing to use nuclear weapons, they rush to ceasefires without looking back as gates increase in their countries. People like me should stay at home.”

It was then that my classmate came and sat next to me.

“You sang like that because you wanted to become an Awakener?”

“It was a crazy idea. If you think about it, how can a guy who can’t catch a bug fight crazy alien monsters just because he got a superpower?”

The motive clicked his tongue and shook his head. It seems that his mind has changed.

“It would be nice if I had the power to protect my body, but to be honest, even though I have that power, it’s a little bit awkward to just watch.”

“Once you have power, it’s good.”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been talking to Lucy a lot lately, so I felt like I was a little influenced by Lucy’s thoughts. If you don’t adapt, you will be weeded out. For the weak who are weeded out, death is the providence.

In an advanced civilized society, the eternal and immutable law of nature, which is hard to feel, was flinching again with the appearance of the gate.

“…”

I was fiddling with my phone for nothing.

If so, can I regard Lucy sleeping in my cell phone as my strength? And even if that power is mine, can I wield it freely and go out into the world?

‘no.’

I shook my head. I am just a normal person They have a little special artificial intelligence in their phones. Unless the world is forcibly harassing me, I had no intention of using it to abandon this ordinary daily life and go out into the world.

“It’s a gate…! This time to the northern part of Gyeonggi!”

“Again?!”

“They said it was already expanding at the time of discovery. Time is running out!”

When someone else who sees you as an ordinary student everywhere is spending time in the classroom.

Frightened people were moving in haste here.

“Jiyeon, you rest. You just returned.”

During that time, the man who received a call and gave instructions to the people encouraged her to stay.

“no. I will go too.”

But she, Lee Ji-yeon, shook her head. The translucent window she could see as she blankly stared into space. There was a kind of ‘quest’ that you could get a reward for if you solved it in your own status window that others couldn’t see.

“Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Because he’s that busy.”

“People say they will die because they don’t want to do it…”

The man looked at Lee Ji-yeon and stuck out his tongue.

Obviously, the Awakened become stronger by strengthening their bodies and abilities while solving the quests in the status window. However, not all Awoken were willing to accept the fight and be positive about their growth.

Rather, I was afraid and reluctant. Of course, it’s not like an ordinary person who lived a normal life until the moment suddenly can’t fight a monster.

Now, most of the Awoken were forced to fight. This is because if they do not act, the damage will be greater. Creating a statute and compensation policy for it is still an unresolved task.

“I used to be like that too.”

“You changed your mind?”

“I want to become stronger.”

But Lee Ji-yeon now was different. At first, unlike the others, he had his own sense of duty, but it is true that he was afraid. But now, I tried to fight with my own will that is stronger than such fear or hesitation.

‘We can meet again.’

The trigger was an incident that happened in the past. Even at this moment, the silhouette of a man who had saved her from a near-death due to a sin of weakness flashed before her eyes.

“Then you go too. Huh… I really have to tear everything apart. I can’t stand it if it continues like this.”

“Is that enough?”

“An association must be created. A person who can represent us Awoken. What is this? Should the Awakened self-report unconditionally and register their identities? Pick up the nonsense and cry, yes. There is even a forced mobilization order, and I will voluntarily report it while making noise.”

He answered Lee Ji-yeon, who was about to leave, then sighed and shook his head. This is because they are dissatisfied with the current system that has been put in place in a hurry.

From Gate to Awakener, they appeared in society too suddenly. However, this society does not cover class and status, and rather than prompt and proper cooperation and control, it only continues dull and inefficient desk discussions.

In the meantime, it was the Awakeners who had to run in the field and the victims of the monsters who suffered damage.

‘Why is that person hiding and working?’

Leaving behind his complaint, she left the office and bit her lip.

As I just heard, the social situation of the awakened people is not good enough for the government to consider compulsory mobilization. That’s why it was assumed that there were many people hiding the fact that they had awakened.

She was sure that the being who had saved her was one of those people. He has already saved himself and other citizens who were in danger, and even secured the disappearing testimony.

In such a situation, if the Awakeners were treated better, Lee Ji-yeon judged that the person might officially appear. It’s clear that he has a sense of justice for his power when he sees his actions that saved people, including himself.

“Oh, that’s a big deal. I don’t think now is the time to go there!”

“What happened? manager!”

But she couldn’t continue her thoughts there.

The incoming call was very urgent. It was to the point where you could guess the contemplative face from the trembling voice.

“…Gate? A strange gate?”

“yes. The gate suddenly appeared and inflated at once. According to the common sense we know, that gate will explode soon!”

“Yes?!”

Her eyes widened as she gripped the steering wheel tightly. It was such a shocking statement that I couldn’t understand it at once.
