Chapter 2053 As Useful As You Are
Rean and Roan felt a chill on their backs when Gem asked that question. “We are talking about Sister Orb, the System Ai that has been helping us all this time while you have been sleeping!”
Soul Gem’s confusion only increased. “I left no such thing behind. The system was something that you would be able to figure out on your own by accessing the information in the Soul Gem Orb. At most, the system would warn you about quests or dangers and things like that. It wasn’t supposed to have any AI whatsoever.”
It was then that Roan remembered something. “Now that I think about it, last time when Soul Gem awoke, Sister Orb went completely silent. She only reappeared once Soul Gem went back to his hibernation.”
“This is not right.” Gem narrowed his eyes as he looked at eh Soum Gem Orb under him. “Could it be…”
Right after, the Soul Gem Orb shined as a voice came out of it. [Hahahaha… Seems like I was caught. If Celis hadn’t said anything, no one would notice it.] Sure enough, it was Sister Orb’s voice.
“Sister Orb!” Immediately, everyone called Sister Orb out.
Soul Gem, on the other hand, felt like an old memory had suddenly surfaced. “This voice… You are the Universe’s Sentience!”
Following that, the Soul Gem Orb separated from Gem’s Astral Projection, putting some distance between them. Well, that was just to make it easier to tell them apart as two different beings. After all, Gem’s Soul was still inside the Soul Gem Orb. [Yo, Gem brat! You really have a hard time dying, don’t you? Still, I have to say. This Soul Gem System you created with my Control Orb by manipulating the power of Destiny is truly a marvelous invention. Don’t worry. You can continue to nurture your soul in this Control Orb of mine. I will not get in the way of your plans. If anything, I’ve been helping a lot so far.]
Gem looked at that as he thought about what to say.
The twins’ group was speechless too. They had always thought that Sister Orb was created by Soul Gem. Never had they thought that Sister Orb was any bullshit AI but the Universe Sentience. “Sister Orb… No, should we really be calling you that? Should we call you Universe Sentience? Just Universe? We are confused.”
[You can keep calling me Sister Orb. After all, I’ve never had a name before. Besides, I quite like how it sounds. It makes me feel like I’m your older sister.]
Finally, Soul Gem opened his mouth again. “Universe Sentience… No, Sister Orb, right? Since you don’t mind this name, I will also use it. What is happening here? Why are you using the Control Orb to speak your mind? You could literally share your voice with everyone on both sides of the Universe if you wanted.”
[I can’t,] Sister Orb answered. [I am not connected to the Universe Foundation anymore.]
“What?!” Everyone was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Gem was even more confused. “Sister… Orb… why do I feel like you are very different? If not because of your voice and aura, I wouldn’t recognize you. Your demeanor is nothing like what you showed me at all.”
[The answer to both of your questions is the same. Soul Gem, you weren’t wrong about what you said. I truly had no shred of emotion anymore when I was one with this Universe. I’ve seen so many years go by that nothing caught my interest. Only you were successful in doing that with that Severing Formations Array of yours.]
[I thought, since you were able to entertain me back then, perhaps you can do that again. So I made a decision that day when I gave you the Control Orb, I put my own sentience inside. Sure enough, you didn’t disappoint me. You created this unbelievable system. You created a plan to unify both sides. Above all, these twins had been entertaining me for the past hundreds of years without failing. I am truly grateful.]
Roan’s mouth twitched a bit. “Entertainment? Is that all we are to you? Stop bullshitting and connect back to the Universe. Take the chance and connect both sides again so that we won’t have more problems.”
[Sigh… Alright, I’ll do it. You are no fun.]
The others heard that question and couldn’t help but wonder in amazement. ‘Will everything be over that easily?’ Even Soul Gem was no exception as he looked at the Soul Gem Orb with incredulity. Too bad that idea didn’t last more than a second…
[Or so I would like to say. But hey, guess what? I can’t! Tee Hee!]
“Tee Hee! Your ass!” Roan almost exploded and immediately tried to kick the Soul Gem Orb.
*Bang!*
Well, it was useless. Even though Roan used his full body strength, the Soul Gem Orb didn’t even bulge. [What? You wanna get another beating? I might not be connected to the Universe anymore, but that doesn’t mean I’m not stronger than you.]
Roan gritted his teeth but retracted his leg. He could only mentally curse, knowing that Sister Orb was indeed too strong for him to fight against.
[Good boy! Now, I think you all are wondering why I’m here, right? The reason is exactly as I said. I was too bored. Soul Gem’s appearance was my chance to finally have some fun after so many years. That said, I took my chance and joined the Control Orb. There, I stayed silent until the Control Orb selected Rean during his birth.]
Sister Orb then looked at Rean and Roan. [Hahahaha! Still, I’ve never expected to see a dead soul pulling a Death Spirit into the reincarnation path with him. Now, that was truly marvelous! It made it worth every second I kept myself hidden inside. Do you have any idea how hard it was to hold my laugh that day? It was amazing!]
Rean and Roan didn’t know what to say anymore.
Soul Gem, on the other hand, was more curious about what mattered. “Since you are here and have revealed yourself, you can definitely help us with the unification plan, right?”
Unfortunately, Sister Orb denied that idea. [Nope. I’m as useful as you are in this regard.]
