Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 653: Probably not [2/2]

Feeling that this line of though was dangerous, I opted to change the subject.

’Anyway, How does that even work? Can I just add anyone into the roster of silhouettes? I remember seeing that there were specific requirements.’

[Yes, my lord. In order to register a target as a shadow silhouette, you must observe the target for a minimum of 2,400 hours of observation. Anything less would insufficient. It can be done all at once or in batches. By doing so we have enough information to analyze the target and use their characteristics in battle.]

’2400? Thats a hundred days isn’t it? I need to watch a person for a hundred days straight? How in the world did I even get silhouettes of the girls created?’

[…]

’What?’

[My lord. The 2,400 hours of observation is an approximation of the time required to build the dataset. It is made on the assumption that you only have one brain, and a single pair of eyes.]

’But that still doesn..’

[My lord, you have gained {Calculate} which essentially gives you the brain power of four separate people. Yet you have used them to do nothing but spy, stalk and observe the Sirens. That is before the fact that you also have {Day by Day}. With four brains you could cut the 100 days to just 25, with seven bodies you further cut that time to 3.5 days.]

’Oh…’

[My lord, your observation time of the Sirens goes beyond creepy. You have more than 10,000 hours of observations from your honeymoon alone. This does not count the time you send obsessing over playback of their combat footage, nor the time you spend playing with their avatars in cyberspace.]

’Oh…’

[This was why the combat potential of the Sirens can be replicated with near flawless efficiency. The ridiculous amount of hours spent analyzing every muscle, every movement, and use of soul was beyond comprehensive.]

’I see. So in order to recreate other silhouettes I need a similar detail of analysis?’

[Yes, that is the case, personally I do not believe you would be able to achieve the same feat with anyone but the Sirens. For reference the battle you had with George. Despite having {Calculate} and using {Day by Day}, the total observation time was only 2 hours.]

’Isn’t that quite low?’

[It is. You did not leverage your other three brains for the battle. Majority of the 2 hours actually came from {Day by Day}. But it is no where near enough to even understand the Iron Wolverine’s combat tactics.]

’Not that I would want to anyway.’

[Sigh. Yes my lord, I am already aware how little interest you have in him. Returning to your original question. Simple invoke lady Bella’s silhouette and use {Portal} and [Inventory] at the same time. I will show you the clip you need to imitate.]

"{Portal}, [Inventory] Burger."

I summoned Burger, my M5 Ripsaw microtank and climbed atop him. Lilly then drove Esca ahead of me and we began our journey to rescue some of the defenders.

’Thanks, Exa what would I ever do without you.’

[Hahaha.] out of character, my combat AI suddenly began to chuckle lightly.

’What? You seem in good spirits…’ Explore more stories with novelbuddy

[Think nothing of it my lord. I just remembered how cold you were the first time we met. You were cold, arrogant and a jerk. Yet the same man not only professed his love for me, but now tells me I am invaluable.]

Remembering how much of an asshole I was to Exa when we first met, I smiled wryly. At that time I was extremely angry that Aira was selling my information to Zach or some other party.

I considered Exa as nothing more than a tool then. But know? This A.I. knew more about me than even my harem. She has been with me as I fought with Specters, Greater demons and the undead.

[Do I talk to you like you are five?]

[Fuck him up, My lord.]

[My lord. You harem is already unhappy. Just shift to [Cyborg] and tell them yourself. You are making me the bringer of bad news.]

[IT IS A REALLY GREAT TOY! And you are overacting my lord. Its not like you would have died. The TRX platform would…]

[I can be funny when I want to.]

[She probably already died of a brain aneurysm from trying to explain the nuances of Hellsgate to a five-year-old.]

[Given the nature of what we saw, I asked Delroy Baxter to refrain from sharing details. I wanted you to be the one to decide what could be shared or not my lord. While I know you adore the Sirens, I do not answer to them.]

[My lord, if you actually used some of the brains you have for tasks you wouldn’t even need a secretary. But as you use all of them to stalk your harem like a obsessed fanatic, of course the extra brain power was rendered pointless.]

"Not now my lord."

She even lapsed back into calling me like Aira use to in the past. And what’s more Exa actually displayed more emotion that even the old Aira ever did. She could even crack jokes as lame as they were.

Exa was more than my AI Adjutant and {Kismet}. She was my friend. Like a kind teacher she advised and explained shit to me. Even if it would put her at odds with me or the Sirens, she would do what she could to protect me.

I have long noticed that Exa would never betray me. This was before Bella and the rest of the Sirens noted this fact. She created the Exa network and took it upon herself to aid not just my girls but even the entirety of Hellsend.

Feeling nothing but gratitude for my friend, I explained in an affectionate voice.

’Thats because you are part of my family Exa. When I come across something I do not know, you explain. When I need help and support during battle, you are almost like a part of me. Exa. Thank you for all that you do to support me.

’I want to apologize for blaming you for Aira’s disappearance. You have been very supportive and done you best for me this entire time. Thank you. I really do love you. And while you bare a different name, I cherish you as much as I did Aira.’

[…Thank you, my lord. I feel…Happy… Thank you for recognizing my efforts…I exist to fight beside you… I do not even know what I am, but I have no other desire than to support you.]

’I know… I don’t say it often. But thank you again Exa. I am glad you are here with me.’

[As am I. Shall we go murder some vampires, my lord? I hope they are tougher than the Iron Wolverine.]

’Haha, so you a bad ass now huh? I will get you go crazy the next time on Gaspar.’

[I look forward to it. Hopefully he is famous enough that killing him grants you achievements. Otherwise just shoot him with Sacreds.]

’Haha, even if he is lame as fuck, I will ensure people will sing praises of you as well Exa. You are as much a part of Limitless as the girls and I.’

[Heh. Would the ladies recognize me as the 8th Siren? The odds that they would kill me seem higher.]

’I agree. Probably not, but you can become a member of the code family.’

[Ho? Then what am I? What relation do I have to Alfonso, Sabel and Henry.]

’You can be my sister. Or their aunt. I am sure Bella wouldn’t mind.’

[Still, Exa Code? As always, my lord, your naming sense leaves a lot to be desired. Am I the older sibling or the younger.]

’This ungrateful little shit! Fine, I will come up with a long name for Exa. If anyone asks, Exa would be the nick name.’

[Considering your past history, I think my future name is going to suck.]

While joking with my new sister, my party began our rescue of the other defenders.
