Chapter 1158 Saphira And Hendrick Are Here
Chapter 1158 Saphira And Hendrick Are Here
-----
I was able to summon Saphira through the absorption of one hundred Neutonium Shards, however I wasn't able to unlock another ability slot… Well, I already had another one anyways, so I'm good regardless.
[The unidentified {Demonic Neutonium Core} has absorbed 100 {Neutonium Shards}, its mass and internal energy has grown and developed greatly.]
[The unidentified {Demonic Neutonium Core} has grown greatly, improving its energy production and reserves. Alongside its connection to the {Large Neutonium Core}.]
[Something is… ERROR]
[A foreign energy and power had been manifested within the unidentified {Demonic Neutonium Core}; you have summoned the unidentified entity {Frozen Ghost Malware Spirit: Saphira}]
[The unidentified entity {Frozen Ghost Malware Spirit: Saphira} has been bonded to your unindentified {Demonic Neutonium Core} and has become an extension of it.]
It looks like she became a "Frozen Ghost Malware Spirit" whatever that means. But maybe she could make programs temporarily freeze and stop their functions? That could be useful, I don't think Hendrick or Eleanora have such functions.
After seeing those funny messages appear in the holographic projections, which I always found rather weird compared to seeing them over my floating grimoire like I've always done, I looked at Saphira.
"I think you can already figure out why this is happening, right?" I asked her.
She seemed a bit confused, but if she was like Eleanora and Hendrick, then that means she has been watching this entire time.
So, naturally, she should know already. Despite all that anyways I'm happy to see her, she's technically my adoptive daughter after all.
"Awww… yeah, I've been watching," she nodded. "But what is this new body papa?"
She moved around, spinning.
"Don't worry, I'll explain…"
"Saphira! Is it you, dear?"
"Oh, but if it isn't Saphira!"
However, before I could even explain, Eleanora and Hendrik appeared by my side, whenever they appear like this they have to let go of their vessels.
So the robots most likely just stood there immobile or sat down, whatever the case, they came to greet her.
Eleanora hugged Sapphira, it seemed that between intangible beings they can touch.
"Mama! I'm glad I'm here too! I was so bored of watching in the darkness! It was weird." Saphira said, rubbing her face on Eleanora's chest.
"Haha, indeed it is annoying," laughed Eleanora. "Don't worry you can now help out. We'll buy you a new body too, as you can't materialize normally here."
"So that's how it works around here…" said Saphira. "I just hope that not every trial papa will go through will be this long and annoying!"
"I hope so too," said Eleanora. "But even then, we'll have to just adapt and overcome! Right?"
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Uncle Hendrick! Hi!" Saphira greeted him as well.
"Saphira! I'm flattered you're calling me uncle," laughed Hendrick. "Glad to see you back. Back then we were summoned at the same time, I suppose this time I was summoned first, haha!"
"Hmm, yeah! I thought I would be first! It got me a bit angry!" Saphira pouted.
"Hohoh, don't worry, it has only been a couple hours since then," laughed Hendrick. "Anyways, master. Wouldn't it be better to buy more shards so you can summon all of us?"
"Hmm, the effectiveness of the shards is decreasing over time," I said. "So I don't know how many I'll need next. Let me gather more Credits more I buy another big haul."
"We could help you make Credits in that VR game," said Eleanora. "We could fight other opponents for you perhaps!"
"Oh yes I had thought about that too!" nodded Hendrick.
"Perhaps…" I nodded. "Maybe, if you're good controlling the mechs that's it."
"I'm fairly good…" Eleanora squinted her eyes.
"Hah, alright…" I nodded. "Anyways, now that that's talked, Saphira, your existence and body. You've become something different than before, at least for the duration of the trial. I call them Virtual Spirits, you're made of data and digital light condensed together, perhaps also electricity… no, definitely."
"Oooh, that's so… weird! Why am I so useless now?" she sighed. "I can't even… summon my ghostly powers or ice! Nor summon undead…"
"You have new abilities, one of our primary powers is taking over technology and modify it according to our specifications," said Eleanora. "I specialize on taking over any technology unrestrained, greater adaptation, and also empowerment. I can empower equipment with crimson electricity."
"I can forcefully take over technology, steal programs, modify them, and also steal information and such," said Hendrick. "Little Saphira, you probably have an ability similar to that."
"Oooh!" Saphira seemed a bit more pleased now. "Hmm, then what can I have?"
"Well the name of your Spirit kind is "{Frozen Ghost Malware Spirit: Saphira}" so probably freezing programs or any technology," I said.
"Oh that sounds great!" said Hendrick. "She could be of great use! If she's truly a Malware then she could even infect things similarly to me… very useful! The thing is, we're not exactly fighting machines but aliens, so these powers aren't so useful."
"Oh that's nice!" said Eleanora. "Alright then, Saphira, we could try using your abilities right away."
"How so?" Saphira tilted her head.
"Perhaps… but not for now," I said. "For now we should probably return and talk with everyone else. I'll also buy a machine for her… also perhaps, I was considering Machine Warriors for you guys but… Hm, it would be complicated to buy them they're very expensive, I would empty everything I have just to buy one with proper add-ons."
"Hmm, can't we take over the Blood Sentinels then? Perhaps just combining them together to make our unique machines," said Eleanora.
"You can definitely do that for now," I nodded. "But the Sentinels are as strong as they are, Machine Warriors can continue growing and developing much more… More than anything, there's something I want to experiment, but I need Machine Warriors with proper Neutonium Cores."
As we walked out of the machine warrior, I greeted my colleagues and explained them that everything went fine. It was still very early in the morning, so we decided to have a quick stroll through the city, mostly because Saphira insisted she wanted to see it so I had to oblige.
