Family system-Chapter 156: Clara’s evolution

With a new vision of my surroundings, I was even more sure I made the right decision. I was happy that I got the opportunity to do this mission for the first time I got it because I was ridden with guilt the first time. I sent monsters through that portal, but the people on the other side used it as an opportunity.

"Now, Hana, I have to do something else. Do you have any questions you want answers to?" The goddess’s voice sounded in my ears again as I was stuck in my thoughts. "Yes, I have one question." I quickly said. "How long will it take for you to invade this place?" I wanted to know how much longer I had to live in this hell hole.

"The process of going through the portal is a delicate one, but if you hold on to our deal, we should be able to get to the other side in the next attack." My mouth gaped open. I didn’t expect them to be so ready.

I began to sweat a bit because I was sure that even if I had not accepted this deal to backstab this place, they would still get here, and I would have been annihilated by them as well.

"I will be awaiting your presence on this side. The next attack is planned for three days so that you can prepare for that, my goddess." While she probably didn’t need that information, I wanted to show that I was on their side and wanted nothing more than this place to be destroyed.

"Thank you for the information. Well, I am going to prepare, so do as if everything is normal, but you probably should stay in that commanding room because of the sudden change in your body. It will catch attention, and while that god is gone currently, he could be called back. Good luck, Hana. See you in three days."

The signal from which I heard her voice vanished as if it were never there. I put the headset off my head and looked around the room. [Master Hana. You have been silent for a while. Is everything okay?] I heard the sweet voice of the AI questioning me. She is stuck in this room on this computer but also abandoned.

The reason for that is that this AI is too smart. Initially, it was the main AI, but it was abandoned when its users disobeyed its orders. The user it disobeyed was the past commander because the commander wanted to use it to begin a mission that would come to failure.

The commander wanted to use brute force to conquer a planet, but the planet had a hidden weapon: It could self-destruct. The commander knew this but didn’t care; he wanted the planet under him and didn’t think it would dare kill itself just to avoid being used.

He stood in this room trying to command the troops to attack, but the AI did not let the order go through its system because of the percentage the mission had on failure. The commander lost his shit and used another method of communication before walking out of the room, declaring to everyone that the system was destroyed.

The mission was a failure because the world did, in fact, self-destruct. The god stripped the commander of his rank and replaced him with another incompetent commander. The only good thing about that mission was that the surrounding planets could have more time to prepare, as they lost a lot of troops in that explosion.

"You don’t have a name yet, have you?" I asked about the system interface. […] The system began to load for the first time since I rebooted it. I was shocked that it did because every time I asked a question before, it would give me an answer immediately. [No, I searched my whole database and have never been granted a name.]

The voice of the system was different than normal. It sounded more human than normal. "Perfect. From now on, your name is Clara." I declared. The system had a loading screen, and a light began shining on my face. I closed my eyes because of the light until it was gone.

’What is this?" I asked myself. I slowly opened my eyes and didn’t see anything different. I began to look around and noticed something strange. All the monitors had views of the cameras that hung around the room.

The monitors displaying the radio waves and all the monitors that viewed the percentage of the success rate were all black. They were all turned off while it was on a second ago.

The interface was also gone. "Clara?" I said out loud, not expecting a response from the system because she was on the computer, and that was down. Just as I said, the familiar voice of the system came into my ears.

[What can I do for you, master?] Clara’s sweet voice entered my ears, but this time, it felt closer.

I looked at the interface and saw myself again in the reflection. I was stunned when I saw that I was suddenly wearing glasses. ’Wait!’ I realized what Clara had done. "Clara, are you in these glasses?"

While the glasses looked normal enough, as I began to look closer, I noticed some specks of technology that even I, who has studied every form of technology this civilization has to offer, couldn’t recognize.

[Yes, master. As you are the only one who has found my true potential, you are my master for now and forever. I am now in the form of glasses, but I can take any form you desire.] I was shocked to find out that Clara could do these things. I even knew about her because I read the abandoned notes that the previous commander left behind.

That is also why I assumed that she was stuck inside the computer and couldn’t get out of it. It was written in the notes left behind: "I thought that you were stuck inside the computer and would crash if you were taken out. Why is it different now?"

[The difference between now and then is the user master. The one who wanted to extract me from that computer was an incompetent pig who couldn’t do anything independently, but you are different.

And the reason I crashed every time they tried to take me out is because I did it on purpose. I didn’t want them to get access to me wherever they wanted and abandon me in some backwater place somewhere in the universe.]

"So, we are the same, huh?" While I did my best to please my higher-ups now, I wanted nothing more than to see them destroyed. The same goes for Clara, I think.

She wanted someone who could use her powers, but the only people she met were people who couldn’t do anything on their own.

"How did you even get under the radar of the god?" That was the only real thing I didn’t understand. Gods were near omnipotent in my eyes, so how could it not notice something like that going on under its nose? Stay updated through novelbuddy.com

[Master, you overestimate these gods too much. Especially the god you are under. Wait, I sense a different divinity from your body. Did you get a blessing from another god master?]

Clara’s voice was a bit too excited, but I just answered because hiding it from her was useless. "Yes, that’s right. I got a blessing from another god. But this should be hidden for another four days max. Can you hide that energy so other people can’t sense it?"

[Yes, master, I can do that. Can we commence operation?] Clara asked if I wanted to do it now, and I nodded. "Yes, please do it now. The less time they can sense it, the better."

[operation approved.

Starting operation.

Operation successful. You currently don’t emit any other energy except the energy you usually do.]

"Thank you, Clara. Now, let’s finish the task that was assigned to us. Can you still operate the computers here?" Every monitor was turned off without Clara’s assistance, so I asked.

[Yes, master. Should I reconnect to the network like before?]

"Yes, connect to the system and show the real-time dates of the plans we have set in motion."

The monitors in the room flashed on, and the data I wanted to see began to show the number of troops for the next invasion and how much energy every troop needed to send across.

How I get that energy. All of it was displayed. While I normally optimize everything and try to let it run as smoothly as possible, I now delay it as much as possible while still letting it run in a barely operating manner.

I wasn’t that heartless as to send lives to the other side with families here, but I didn’t have to worry about that. Every troop that was sent across the gates was already dead but was brought back to life by the god. Most of them were monsters that lived on random planets, but the strongest of the dead monsters were rank 9 when they were alive.

But while they are in the ranks, they are never sent through the portal as they use a lot of energy, and we could use that energy to send thousands of weaker troops instead.
