Chapter 78 (1/2)
”Hey there, Mr President What's up?”
The kind-looking old e screen faintly raised an eyebrow upon my candor
The President The person with the most executive power in this country, as well as the commander-in-chief of the military Everyone knew of him Even test subjects of human experiments who had had their official records erased, like me, knew of hi apparently didn't sit very ith the commander of the compound I leisurely stretched my hand toward him and squeezed He spat out blood and collapsed on his knee, his organs suddenly sickly
The man in his early fifties on the screen stayed implacable with his sht
”Hey yourself, cute little bunny lady You're No 13, correct?”
”Close enough”
While Isince abandoned, these people just kept using 'No 13' all the tier had a fafrom the very start?
The ers interlocked, and leaned deeply back on his chair
”You don't show up on digital footage, but you do on this screen, luckily I've seen your battles Just the dah to tellyour power is”
”Thanks for the co up to? After a while, he began his talk with a politician's s a public speech
”I'll get straight to the point I want you”
”…”
”I believe we can work together Joinyou want Status Honor Fame Money Or perhaps you'd like a date with a Hollywood star like girls your age? With ive you any lover you want If you have religious probleences' by the dozens And if you really need to fill your stoular schedule Ah, but spare ht?” The man chuckled
”…ould you offer so much?”
He seeotiations table, if only tentatively He enthusiastically began his presentation as though he was talking to another world leader
”You are the perfection we seek With the use of y of the neorld, and an Avatar incorporated abilities of paranorh evolutions after evolutions to become the ultireatest dream of the researchers ever since they knew of the existence of the neorld and mana, and you are the ultimate conclusion! You are a Goddess from the machine You are Dea ex Machina!”
”…”
”Wield your extraordinary power! You shall play the part of the Dark Lady as you have done on Yggdrasia, and you will reign as the Evil of Earth You will justify our nation's conquest of the world The eastern countries will inevitably oppose us, and you will annihilate them as the Dark Lady You will lead an ar tens of thousands, all controlled by the best of rant, but she is one of er officially a citizen of ours, your patriotism must surely still be alive! Come, join me! You are… you are…”
As the rapturous man stared at me, slowly, his expression transformed into one of shock
Color receded fro it into an inhuman alabaster Crimson escaped frorew to peek out fro cold overflowed from my body The fear-paralyzed commander near hout it all
”…a Demon…”
The
He really underestiuards wearing black and some people who seemed to be his secretaries reflected in his wide-open eyes of shock
I gently stretched out my hands toward the people I saw in his eyes and joinedthem all in my palms, and I whispered
”Causality Alteration, Dimensional Manipulation, parallel activation”
Then ainst each other
”—[Gospel]—”
In that instant, the man on-screen opened wide his eyes in surprise The people in his sight crumbled as chunks of blood and meat, as all the healed afflictions of their lives suddenly relapsed in their teres
In his youth, he had once been in an apprenticeshi+p to a secretary of his father who had still been a politician at the time, whose torch he would eventually take up for his own Back then, his father had told him about a national secret: the discovery of a neorld
It had been a matter of utmost secrecy Holders of the secret weren't even allowed to tell their farateful for the love his father had shown hi him, and at the same time, disappointed by the naivete his old man had displayed as a politician
Ten years later, as a government official, he had earned the position to participate in the developdrasia
The neorld had fascinated hiend There was the power of 'ic' that allowed ends had remained even on Earth, then it was entirely possible an actual God could exist on Yggdrasia
And now, as the President of this country, he had seen a Goddess, and she was a De manbased weaponry, it had been him who had proposed to use inhu weapons for hu that transcended humans He wanted to see an existence that could absorb the lifeforce of their defeated ene poithout limits Yet the test ically useful than the current weapon technology It hadn't been what he was looking for
But then, she appeared
She was the ultimate perfection, the dream that he, that all his researchers shared
She was the absolute weapon, the Goddess that proclaily let loose a whisper upon the sight
The girl of white with a pair of rabbit ears on the screen was being bleached of all colors, cris the only exceptions
He was only looking at her through a screen, and yet he could not stop shi+vering He felt as if he'd returned to being a baby
Join me, he had said, and as if in response, she stretched out her oo ar in her hands He heard her whisper
