Leisurely working on his computer which he built from scratch, Jin stood up to check on 2A body as he finished having her new programming without tinkering with her personality.
He's been working on her nonstop to quickly finish the work, so far he upgraded her system like CPU, storage, RAM capacity and last weaponry etc. He later changed her interior as well as exterior to make her look beyond beauty.
All in all he wants her to be at least as good as his other girls to stand with him during the fight with machines and not be a burden. And that what is [Program Phoenix] is; which is to rebuild a person into an enhanced companion.
"Boss we are again out of parts…" Aurora said in a deadpan tone for the 3rd time in a day because 2A new body demands a certain part which is almost impossible to find or many of them were of extremely low quality and even difficult to find in the current world.
"Again *sigh Fuck it we are going to massacre the fucking machine. We need at least 100 kg of metal parts!" Jin declared in frustration that once in a while he had to go for savaging machine parts here and there; then he sat on the driver's seat.
"Should I mark the daily grinding location?" His assistant inquired, ready to mark the hunting ground where they get great quality machine parts.
"No, we are going somewhere more hazardous. More risk, more reward." Jin with a sinister and evil smirk on his face muttered in bloodlust as he was really angry over the recurring shortage of spare parts.
"Ok, Master!" She quickly responded by highlighting the most dangerous area where even Yorha are not allowed to wander.
—--
Deep within an untouched wilderness, a forgotten realm unfolds—a place where humans haven't tread for millennia. Here, nature has triumphed, reclaiming what was once a thriving civilization.
Towering, ancient trees reach skyward, casting dappled sunlight upon a vibrant carpet of wild flora. Amidst this greenery, the remnants of an ancient settlement emerge, their stone and wood structures now entwined with ivy and vines.
These forgotten buildings blend organic design with human craftsmanship. Some appear as grand palaces, others as humble cottages, all softened by time's passage. It's a place where the boundary between human creation and nature blurs into an ethereal harmony.
In this lost world, history and nature converge, a testament to nature's enduring power. It's a haunting reminder of the transient nature of human endeavors and the unwavering resilience of the natural world—a place where the past whispers its secrets to those who dare to explore, where the legacy of humans and nature entwine eternally.
"We reached the destination, Boss." Aurora spoked waking Jin up as there was quite a distance and they had to travel 1000km.
Coming out of his mini bus, he yawned, rubbed his eyes as it was still dark outside, he wore his favorite black hoodie and observed the surroundings slowly.
"So this must be the Zone marked with red line by 2A." He said walking straight into the small jungle area. Taking a proper look at the area.
"Yes, it's called the dead zone. No android under Yorha are authorized to enter here as there are countless Machine lifeforms present and active in these places. Additionally numerous mutated animals usually fight with those machines."
"I can see hundreds of machines roaming here and there…." Jin confirmed with the help of his [True sight] he was able to see in thermal vision. Hundreds of machines and mutated wild beast roaming without purpose and fighting like no tomorrow.
"Let's go. Pick the treasure up." He stretched his body a little before he began the massacre.
"This place is awesome for testing cyberwares….. " He admitted jumping onto the highest tree/building to have a better understanding of the place with the help of his enhanced legs.
"Did something happen? I can see your body is showing some strange reading???" She asked worriedly as his core was absorbing too many Maso particles as well as his cyberware was going [Overdrive] mode.
He quietly reaches a top building observing everything he could see for a good few minutes. A strange feeling rushed across his chest which he ignored for a while.
"Don't disturb me for a few seconds, Ok. Aurora no matter what." He said in a strict and absolute commanding tone after he descended the ground soundlessly and without alerting any being around him.
"Hmm, ok." She responded like a child taking commands from his father, noticed him taking a wield stand/pose. He raised his
arm in straight 90 degrees ahead, his hand open, his thumb restraining both his fore, middle finger.
"...*inhale …….. *exhale" "[Grand Black Hollow 50% output]" Jin muttered emotionlessly, slightly tilting his head to aim straight.
As all his extra energy being stored or attracted to him were released at blank range in the shape of a 10 meter tall orb with 3 rings around it continuously spinning.
Its color was pure black and it went straight wrecking, demolishing each and every existence in its path without stopping like a calamity.
—-Back to reality—--
"Jin… Jin master please wake up, it's been a while you have been zoning out a lot. Is there a problem? You have been hiding something?" His assistant asked in a suspicious tone.
"No, I just rewatched the whole day when I created [Grand Black Hollow]. Anyways let's finish 2A, we have few new places to explore."
"That day I still remember the destruction we caused….it was indeed a massacre." She replied in a deadpan tone.
"Few hours before we had implanted the remaining organs and modified parts which we lacked." She spoke out as Jin connected the computer with the 2A system for Aurora to work on it.
"That means I only have to finish her remaining programming." She asked to confirm her role, Jin affirmed her then she began to work.
"Yup, while I mess with her consciousness. Stay in touch with me, inside her." Jin commanded her as he parepare to go inside her consciousness.
"..." He sat next to her body, inserted 2-3 wires in his body and his body went unconscious.
With 2A
Third person pov
Ugh "My head 's spinning. My body is heavy…!!" I tried to open my eyes and slowly get up after regaining consciousness.
I warily take in my surroundings as weight and sluggishness permeate over my entire body, and because I'm in unfamiliar territory, I unconsciously try to naturally grasp the blade.
"HUh??? Are you dead?" I spoke my assumption aloud while feeling uncertain.
Seeing my surroundings completely white and I stood at some sort of stage, I became confused as there was nothing except for me. "Ohh you finally woke up! Nice wait, it feels like deja vu or something? Nevermind it…"
I quickly turn around as I hear a strange voice behind me that is both familiar and unknown. "Who are you?" I yell, raising my fist in readiness for action.
"While you were the one who saved me, I am now dead…." I gasped in shock when I recognized him physically, pausing because I sensed something was wrong—if I were really dead, how could he be with me? "I want to know what you did to me." I asked, raising my voice as I did so.
"Ummm, Do you want a long story or a short one?"
"Short."
