79 Stygian Changes (2/2)

” 4 over 22?” I asked wondering why there were only four displayed on the overlaid interface.

”Yes, Master... The remaining 18 has some major requirements that must be met... Do you want me to scan the requirements for more possible skillsets?” The AI answered making her host's (which is me. of course) benefit from her cameo beyond potent and apparent.

”You can do that?”

”Yes, Master... Scanning the skillsets' requirements would be easy, but whether or not if achieving the requirements are uncomplicated and undemanding, is beyond my control.”

”Hmmm... I see. But, these four be enough to do a major trick or two, right?”

”Yes, Master. By having that four skillsets alone in your arsenal makes the chances of getting out of here at an utmost 100 percent. In this state, you won't have to worry about your paradigm being canceled. You can utilize much more intricate and powerful offense by your Paradigm Shift's supplementary and much more superior skills than what your Paradigm is able That makes the probability of you fending yourself from the approaching danger in an utmost 93 percent.”

”Hmmm... The calculations. That's quite high...”

”Yes, Master... That's what it means to be under Goddess Lacrimosa's talents over negative forces manipulation having passed unto you. ” the AI responded, showcasing her deep praise for the character-sporadic deity. But the question is, is it really pure praise though? Nah... Might be her algorithm again.

Ah, how I wish that I could have the tools to change her program... How did Lacrimosa even create something like her anyway? Oh yeah... I remember this AI's introduction prior, to how she said that she was created using the Goddess's points of authority before it reaches zero, which is clearly a good endeavor instead of lying it all to waste... Still, I can imagine her using her mouth but not her brain...

”Y-yes... So now, I can choose any from these four available skillsets right?”

”That would be the case, Master... You can choose and rechoose on your own accord, or you can also call into me for activation in times of dire predicaments. I am autonomous, so if you're in a major problematic situation, I will rake my own initiative to act.” She exclaimed sounding like an AI in those fiction movies of mechs taking their initiative to conquer the whole world.

Not that I'm worried though. I have access to her settings (which she considers an act of lewdness)and she can adapt to my preferences... So as long as I don't get in the way of her functionality, I'll be fine and I have Elon Musk to back up that claim.

”Ok, shall we choose now then...” With all of that said, I then focused on the choices inscribed in the overlay... Well, whatever... I think anything will do just fine at this state and I can choose and rechoose anytime I want. I just want to recon with Shiro, see how she's doing and possibly get some fresh air.

”Oh by the way... It did not mention as to how long can I attain this form in the Persona Interface...”

”As long as your 'Crossange Arsenal' is still accompanying you, you won't have to worry of duration, Master.”

”Crossange Arsenal?”

”That three crosses in your range, Master... Its blackness can tell you how much time you have left... It's like an Hourglass. If it turns white from its obsidian color, then you know that the limit is reached... If you want to exceed the limit however, we can do that too, but the consequence, I presume is very detrimental.”

”Roger,” I responded, even though of the intricateness of her explanation.

So basically these three Celtic obsidian crosses are called 'Crossange Arsenal'. They will act as indicators of the limit. If they turn white, then I know that I'm already standing at a very dangerous threshold.

Something tells me that it has more uses though. For whatever reason...

Guess I'll find out soon... I'm becoming rather indolent on asking questions that I will still find the answer later, whether I like it or not...
