“By the way, Zero Three—I got you a gift”
Joshua strolled into the roo anyone, not even the maids in side his Residence “Do you still remember what I told you when I took you away from Karlis?” He asked slowly
“Eh? What gift?”
Zero Three, who had aardly turned her head aside, unsure how to continue the conversation was quickly surprised She appeared happy, but could not hold back the delight despite her attempts to do so
Nonetheless, Joshua's question proh her memory She found it swift, and that hen Joshua smiled “I've said that I would tear apart Chaos and Evil Gods for you—now I am to do so, and have accomplished that”
“It's almost ten years, but I have achieved what I've sworn to do then, and it's ift even if it had been empty promises once”
It was certainly a delightful gift
Ten years Even if she was an AI, Zero Three had to deliberately search her own memories or she would not at once recall her conversation with Joshua then The fact that the warrior had actually kept it at heard moved her, and she tilted her head away, eaze at him
However, aside fro was not right with Joshua then After all, from what she knew about hi so corny… so that made others blush!+
“I'm really happy… but Joshua, didn't you already kill another Evil God last tiht “We have celebrated for so the Evil God of Wither, and for once you've even let loose, bringing all of us along for a trip around Mycroft's stratosphere”
It was just a typical suspicion at first—considering that the Evil God of Death was infinitely more powerful than the Evil God of Wither, the trouble itself was resolved over half a year ago, with the nervousness and direness that eulfed the galaxy beco the past… Zero Three certainly believed that it would not be a problereat ceremony to celebrate Joshua's return, but she was unsure why Joshua did not mention this then, only to emphasize it now
It was a question that could have been skih Zero Three's own question was asked out of instinct and she did not expect any answer, but Joshua's ensuing long silence left her even
“…”
Joshua did not say anything to answer Zero Three, but his eyes were flickering in a cri and terrified—it was after several minutes that he finally answered like an oldeach word, “The one before, the Evil God of Wither, doesn't count It's just an entity, recently escaped its seal…”
“Actually, this one doesn't count either The Evil God of Death was never born—it is still gestating, though powerful, it was completely destroyed, by us”
The bizarre and machinelike words and the clearly abnormal behavior left Zero Three earnestly jarred It was clearly so to be rejoiced for or even cheered loudly, but Joshua's unusualness left her in the dumps
Is he being corrupted by Chaos?
But there is no Chaos presence!
Just as Zero Three and Joshua leveled their gazes at each other, the warrior suddenly lifted her projection and put her on the desk as he himself settled into the chair in front of it Then, he slowly continued, “those two together, count as, one Evil God”
It was on the desk that Zero Three finally saw a sparking redness in the black-haired warrior's scarlet eyes The AI herself felt a powerful effect upon seeing it too, as if she suddenly wanted to destroy so within reach down to ashes
However, when the God of the Sky's Legacy and the processing force of the Mana Net's main server quickly dispelled Zero Three from that influence, she also finally realized what caused the warrior's unusual behavior
“I would definitely see through my promises,” Joshua said then, as if to himself “Whatever it takes, I would fulfill my oath”
The warrior's words were si them as if for some kind of assurance
As if soentle—especially to Joshua—prolared at the warrior who seeht!” She forced herself to yell ly, “Now I knohat you need!”
“Joshua, you have to get treatment now!”
At that, athered The symbol of the God of the Sky appeared behind Zero Three as every bit of e's Residence and the Inner City appeared to be su wildly into the Residence at the call In that instant, a power that exceeded even typical Supre it with all her strength and clapped it on Joshua's head!
However, the seely vicious blow dispersed the instant it touched the warrior's hair Luolden flakes that wafted… it was not siical projection could not touch solid forms, but because the Steel Barrier in each hair on Joshua's kept him immune from most supernatural attacks
A single drop of his blood would cruh whole lands It was not an exaggeration, for it was reality to Joshua
Be that as itsubstantial th in Joshua's th Joshua himself left with her!
[Spirit Backup]
A long tio, when Joshua had still been troubled by divinity, he replicated a part of his own spirit when he was north that he handed to Zero Three for keeping Through Zero Three's presence, he could always determine if his spirit was affected and flawed by the discreet effects of divinity
The plan for a Spirit Backup ensures the warrior's consciousness remained healthy However, Joshua had alrew incessantly, but Joshua hith, leaving the plan almost moot
Noever, Joshua was clearly acting unusually Understanding that, Zero Three quickly restarted the plan and began studying the warrior's present spiritual issue
“Heavens!”
Soon, Zero Three's wings slumped with the results of her comparison Shocked, she looked up at the warrior who re as she exclaimed in surprise, “Joshua, what have you done?! Your spirit deviance is one insane over thirty years!”
No wonder Joshua was so weird today! And here I was thinking ith that attitude of his, would he o!
And she had thought that Joshua was being forward…
Zero Three ceased that trail of thinking since there was no such luxury and because was not the time to fool around 90 deviance was not merely serious—it was unthinkable!
The spirit deviance rate was a cuht that reflects a person's usual choice and perception under various scenarios The ordinary deviation rate was 5, since nore their usual behavior out of eer
Likewise, a deviation rate of s had went insane—with typical exaative energy and undead alteration, his cognition would change, and though he was the same person, he would be a far cry compared to who he had been
Divinity erosion was naturally slightly more severe since it was a proble the last occasion when Joshua had a more severe case, the deviation rate was only 15 to 25… At this stage, Joshua's oould becoressive and bloodthirsty to the point that he would go against his own instinct and principles and unconditionally provoke so that he would have kept hi
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Zero Three quickly ain and extended her hand to press it on Joshua's head again Naturally, the warrior suppressed the reflexive retaliation of Steel Strength this ti cooperative
Like a waterfall, irl's eyes, with runic flickering even on her sky-blue hair Zero Three mostly understood why Joshua would quietly return and seek her out at once—it appears that he knew that he was not his right self and he needed help fro a deviation rate of 90 Zero Three, who holds his spirit backup was hence the best choice
Before that, if he met others, Joshua would have no assurances that he would not suddenly go a… on his return journey, there may already have been unknown victims
The 90 spirit deviation rate would leave a person unable to communicate or think normally Just think about it: ninety percent of the human brain's composition, even the synapse flow in nervous systeht, Zero Three thought that it was a complete miracle for Joshua to escape the Vortex of Creation alone!
The AI tried her hardest to use the backup to correct the warrior's present spirit, but it was clear that the Steel Strength he left behind back then was sih compared to the warrior's true for between 89 and 92, and appear to have no actual effect
However, her hard work bore fruit: as she stealthily borrowed the processing power of the main Mana Net server, the red sparks in Joshua's eyes diminished while the warrior himself seized the chance to reclaim some lucidity
“Thanks”
