Chapter 326 Dystopia

The Armor Emperor Zex Id, the fifth rank of the Great Eight Demons. He has been active as the Great Eight Demons for a good amount of time, and is neither an old member nor a newcomer, but rather in the middle. Hes very noisy that he always adds loud laughter in his talk, but hes also one of the few Great Eight Demons who interacts with humans just like Alezel. His personality is easy to get used to, and the distance with him is close even for those who meet him for the first time. From this aspect, Zex is relatively easy to get along with in the Great Eight Demons.

However, dont look at him only on the surface. Its true that Zex is developing technologies at a level thats unheard of in this world, and is distributing them to human society on a limited basis. Even Ive benefited from them as well. However, while Zex is an entity that brings benefits to humans, he is, in a sense, the most dangerous person in the Great Eight Demons, as he wants to control human society. After all, his ultimate goal is to turn the world into a dystopia.

Dont increase our work. Besides, isnt it faster if you plunge into the incinerator on your own? Also, Ill beat you at least once before that.

Fuhaha! Unfortunately, I cant do that. After all, that body is out of control. The body probably malfunctioned somewhere when it was dropped. Just like the rampaging robots in the scrap yards, its also in a rampaging state. Im sure you understand why Im using the facilitys communication equipment instead of going through the body.

Didnt you start communicating before you dropped that thing?

Well now, I dont know what youre talking about.

For some reason, Zex collects various data by interacting with people. Not only data generated during battles, but also detailed analysis of emotions that machines dont have. I dont know how hes going to use those data. However, I can somehow guess it. Something like, preparations for his ultimate goal in the future? At least, it wont happen while Nell and I are still alive, so I dont care.

Shish, we can clean the Great Eight Demons! What a luxury!

Maybe because the worst situation for Haru was avoided, my disciple is completely energetic. Rather, its like a blessing for her.

Certainly, its a luxury. Even though its an old model, this body is a special item among special items, right?

Its too late to stop it from going out of control. Judging from the strength required to stop it and the cost of repair, the deficit will be further increased! If so, it would be beneficial to provide it free of charge as a training partner for Deris-dono and Haruna-dono! Now, you can beat it to your hearts content, Deris-dono!

If it doesnt have your will in it, I somehow wont feel refreshed.

Shish, should I beat it in your stead?

Wait.

Still, I wonder whats happening? Even when were having a long talk like this, its not coming to attack us, so I think that its under control. Did Alezel prepare it for Haru? Its convenient as the first step to beat the Great Eight Demons, but I dont like this feeling that its as if Im being used. Okay, lets ask her later.

Haru. Even though its an old body and Zex himself isnt controlling it, its stronger than Hund, you know? Ill help out with support and recovery, but its basically your job to clean it up. Even more if you want to defeat the Great Eight Demons. Can you do it under these conditions?

Ill make it work!

Yeah, its ridiculously reassuring.

Fuhaha, what a wild girl! I hope Zeta could learn from you!

Its okay to be impressed, but when you do it, make sure its in a rampaging state, okay?

Dont worry! Im changing it from the controlled state to the rampaging state now.

This guy finally revealed that its under control.

Then, please enjoy it! *Click*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Its started.

Right. Well, they will have to do at least this much.

While Deris and Haruna began cleaning the body of Zex, there were two peoples figures in the monitoring room thats located in the upper part of Al Nova. The room is a spacious round-shaped room, and the screens of an equal size are spread all over the wall. The screens are showing the scenes of the important areas of Al Nova. Zex and Alezel, who are the true characters of the figures, sat down on their chairs and looked at the screen showing the scrap yard.

Are you not going to invite Nell-dono and Lilyvia-dono?

Both of them are training their disciples. I didnt get a chance to talk to them because the mood was so heavy. Sorry.

Alezels way of talking isnt in her business mode, but in her usual free-spirited tone. It seems that its more of a private time than work time now.

By the way, Zex-han. Wheres Zeta-han?

Shes putting together the data on the dishes that Haruna-dono made this morning. Her passion for food is real after all!

No, aint that just because she wanna contribute to Zex-han? Far from blind devotion, I think she has reached the level of worshiping you, yknow?

Thats a problem! Its a good thing that she adores me as her boss, but I want her to know more about the vast world! If there is a man lying around somewhere who can be a good person for Zeta, I estimate that this tendency will be somewhat alleviated. The emotional entanglements between men and women have an impact that can change peoples lives even from the most trivial things after all.

Hmm, I guess Zex-han doesnt understand peoples hearts.

Thats why Im learning everyday like this! Even Im always watching the video of Deris-dono and Nell-donos ceremony everyday!

I see~. At least while Im alive, dystopia may be far away.

Fuhahahaha! Im troubled!

Alezel, who has an alliance with Zex, knows his ultimate goal, of course. Rather, everyone in the Great Eight Demons knows about it. It is a matter that would normally lead to a state of emergency that would affect the world. But for some reason, the triggering condition is that Zex has to completely understand the humans hearts. So, they just responded with a light cheering like, Good luck with that. Alezel is also like that.

Lets get back to the topic. If Haru-chan wins against Zex-hans old body, youre gonna cooperate, right? The recommendation to use the door to another world, which is coming here now, and

The arrangements for a formal match against the Great Eight Demons, right? Good grief, Haruna-dono sure is reckless. I can only think of her as a suicidal person.

Thats right, she has a troublesome personality. Well, I like it, though! Besides, that Deris promised that hes gonna make it happen, yknow? Frankly, you want to see that happen, right?

Well, maybe a little. However, she has to win against my body first. Even though its in auto-pilot mode and Im not controlling it, the AI is quite advanced. Enough that it can win completely against Hund-dono!

I pity Hund-han that hes used as an example every time. Well, lets what shes got. Haru-chan~, do your best~. Depending on the results, Ill give up on you, kay?
