My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil

Episode 191 Endless Evolution (1)

‘What is this doing in the corner of the room?’

Lucy’s growth is my growth. Lucy showed the entire universe on the screen. A place where there are stars, the sun, and darkness.

This scenery itself was nothing short of proof. The AI secretary, who accidentally became the devil, has reached this point.

And I, too, changed after being with Lucy. In fact, the change was not that big compared to Lucy’s growth, which started as a small lump of flesh and grew to the point where she could threaten the armies of powerful cosmic forces. However, to a small citizen like me, this was a huge upheaval.

‘I tried too.’

I worked hard all this time to keep up with Lucy’s incredible growth and to help her in any way possible.

From a college student about to graduate who had yet to escape from his parents’ skirts, he became a veteran who gained experience by moving around in any way possible and visiting dangerous places here and there.

The place where I am now watching Lucy through the cell phone, which is the point of connection, is no different from before in the sense that it is in a small room, but my existence is completely different from the past.

All of that for the small will that was dependent on me that was suddenly born. And for myself.

[We achieved our longed-for goal, but at the same time, we only took one step in this wide world.]

“okay. “You will not be satisfied.”

Of course, for Lucy, who seemed quite impressed, all of this was just a process. Or does the concept of the end really exist for Lucy? Stopping growth means death.

It was even something Lucy hated more than anything else in the world.

I can’t help but think of random things every time I see something like this.

What will happen to Lucy in the future, what will happen to me, what will happen to Lucy if more time passes and I die, etc.

I have never said this out loud just in case. Every time my mouth started itching, I forced myself to erase my thoughts and focus only on the reality in front of me.

“It’s not time to relax yet. “The other person still looks fine.”

[We will try to attack right away.]

Instead, I started talking about other people on the screen. Competitors risking their lives to compete with Lucy.

All of the opponents that Lucy had competed with so far were unable to win the competition for survival and were defeated, eaten, and destroyed.

What are they really like? I don’t know how it would be received from their perspective, but for Lucy, this war was actually a very natural act.

In nature, competition for food and habitat was the law itself.

“Are you a little surprised? “I couldn’t believe you would follow me to space?”

I clicked my tongue and looked at them with a stern face. Of course, I support Lucy and help her if I can. They have no choice but to be sacrificed.

I’ve already seen it a lot. Lucy’s accomplishments and numerous armies are an army of curses and blood created by shedding more than twice that amount of blood.

If we judge by conventional wisdom, Lucy is a heinous disaster itself. But I couldn’t bear to say that Lucy was a devil.

In my eyes, it was just a life struggling to survive.

“Hey, they came after me. They are coming! All the way here!”

“Oh my, this is crazy.”

His prediction was not wrong. The reason why Carthus’s army hurriedly raised altitude and took refuge in space was because they expected that the Demon King’s army would not be able to chase them there.

In fact, the Demon King’s Army did not bother to step forward and only defended itself when they bombed from high altitudes.

But now, Lucy had caught them off guard and led her army into space.

Even in the extreme conditions of space, the Demon King’s army has already achieved enough physical conditions to withstand it. The propulsion of the ships was also sufficient to escape the atmosphere.

The result is this. The densely packed ships of the Demon King’s army once again surrounded the evacuated Carthus fleet without any hesitation.

[This time, don’t let them escape.]

Lucy planned to end it here. The goal was to surround them to prevent them from escaping and annihilate them without giving them any room through firepower using overwhelming numbers and close combat, which is their specialty.

“Hold on… … . And contact the main body immediately. “There is a disaster here that must never be unleashed!!”

Commander Edmund was horrified, felt instinctive fear, and urged them to send a message quickly.

He intuitively realized that the Demon King’s army should not be released into space and that his home country’s information should not be passed on to the Demon King’s army.

‘Why?’

He gritted his teeth as he prepared for the final battle with the Demon King’s army. It was as if he was fighting an unimaginable being in a place he could never have imagined.

“Commander, the predicted win rate is less than 20%. It is likely to fall further. “I recommend that the flagship warp now.”

“If the strongest flagship falls alone, what will happen to the rest? It is annihilation. I can never leave it like that. “We can’t lose to monsters like that.”

Senna, the AI commanding the fleet, suggested to Edmund that he escape first, even if it was just the flagship he was on. But his eyes were shaking and he rejected it.

They decided to bet on recognition and hope rather than bloodless and tearless efficiency.

“Hang in here. If they had seen the data we sent, there was no way their home country wouldn’t send support! We must stop those monsters. To protect those on the ground and those behind us.”

He announced to the entire fleet that he would hold out here. Anyway, all the battleships had no choice but to gather together and fight. Because there is no way to escape from this remote universe.

“Commander, then please remove all my privileges. I will move all systems and engage in battle. Instead, internal personnel must be mobilized to block enemies who may attempt to infiltrate the interior.”

“Do it that way. I allow it. Manipulate it according to your will and achieve the result somehow.”

In the end, following his will to fight to the death, Sena chose the next best option.

What he meant was that he would control the systems of all the fleets here and fight against those strong enemies in his own way.

“wait for a sec. But aren’t all mercenary ships connected to our system?”

“The situation is urgent, and each ship’s main system is currently being hacked. “Hacking progress rate: 67%.”

“what?”

Then, when he suddenly discovered something that was troubling him, Sena calmly responded and used his authority to do something crazy.

* * *

“Ha, Captain!”

“What is this!? Hacking the ship’s systems at will! Commander!”

The situation was already urgent, but the captains of the ship, where all control had been transferred to Senna, were very surprised and rebelled.

Sena easily hacked the central control systems of ships that were lower-ranking programs than hers and took control of them, and soon gained control of everything in the entire fleet.

Weapon systems, navigation systems, communication systems, etc.

Now the only person who can stop Senna is Senna’s user, Commander Edmund.

“Follow it because it is the only way to win, no, to survive. “Can’t you see what’s going on right now?”

He could not criticize Sena’s judgment and instead stamped out those who opposed him. The calculation was that no matter what happens later, surviving now is the priority.

“Is it really possible?”

“Cannot be calculated. “This is uncharted territory where data is still lacking.”

Exhausted, he looked at Sena and muttered absentmindedly. The young woman created as a blue hologram only gave a vague answer with an expression that could not be understood.

[The movement of the enemy fleet changes dramatically.]

And the fleet’s problems were soon noticed by those observing them from the outside.

Lucy only saw the movements of the fleet under Senna’s control and was convinced that the species in charge had changed.

[It is expected to become a little more fun.]

“fun?”

Lucy, who thought that lesser humans were blocking Senna’s potential and abilities, naturally became very interested in this situation.

In fact, Raon, who was preparing to go out according to Lucy’s orders, muttered with a bewildered look on his face.

[The entire army charges. It is time to analyze how the enemy will respond.]

Lucy, who wanted to learn more about Senna’s existence and its limitations, took the initiative herself. At the same time, the ships of the Demon King’s army that received the order all aimed their snouts and rushed at Carthus’ fleet.

* * *

“Defense is provided by ships with damaged shooting systems, and firepower is provided by intact ships. Simultaneous injection of all unmanned equipment.”

“This is crazy! It’s really crazy! “You’re using us as meat shields!!”

The fleet also responded to the movements of the Demon King’s army, which was several times larger than the fleet, which consisted of at most a dozen ships. Senna attempted the most efficient tactics with the sole goal of winning.

In the process, minority opinions and circumstances were naturally ignored. Sena’s only goal is to win the war. If sacrifice is necessary, of course I make it.

“after.”

Edmund, the only one who could stop Senna, closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head. This was my only hope now, so I couldn’t stop it.

“As expected, the enemy attempts to infiltrate the interior using the ships deployed at the front for defense. A total of five ships with insufficient internal defense.”

“Their close combat power is beyond imagination. Look at that. Using a sword? Some people use spears. Even those who use kicking fighting techniques. “Is this really an army of devils crawling up from hell?”

However, no matter how much Sena controlled, the difference in resources was large. The Demon King’s army that had infiltrated inside used close combat, which was optimal, based on the enormous experience they had acquired as a group.

It was impossible to even stop him with a flimsy firearm. If we weren’t going to be killed from within like this, another method was needed.

“Analysis of enemy behavior patterns. Copy execution.”

Senna made the best move in the situation. He personally controlled the reinforced suit and exoskeleton, and began to analyze and copy the movements of Lucy’s Demon Lord’s army in real time.

[this is… … .]

Lucy was slightly shocked by the sight of Senna using the warp ship’s supercomputer as computing power and using her special skill.

“Is it going to work?! no way!”

“The level of movement they show is amazing. “It is a ridiculous optimization tailored to every single body structure, so it is impossible to completely copy it with a completely different body.”

Meanwhile, they were hopeful that Senna seemed to have found a way to defeat Lucy’s demon army. Even the spare reinforced suits with no people inside jumped out at once to deal with the Demon King’s army, and the Demon King’s army that had infiltrated the ship was being subdued one by one.
