Chapter 48 System upgrade And other side of space tunnel (Cross Ange World))

In the vast expanse of space, where countless stars painted the cosmic canvas, a streak of light shot through with the velocity of light years. Babylon had just traversed the space tunnel.

Lucia stepped out of the building, gazing upward. Instead of the usual celestial panorama, the sky was adorned with cascading rays of rainbow-colored light.

"It's quite beautiful, isn't it?" Lucia remarked, turning to her wives who had joined her.

"Yes, it is," Yuriko agreed.

"Too beautiful for words," Shizuka exclaimed.

"An amazing view!" Lily added.

"I've never seen anything like this," Saeko marveled.

The group reveled in the breathtaking sight of the space tunnel—a rare spectacle. The other girls gathered around Lucia, standing beside her. Shizuka and Saya embraced Lucia, each resting against one of her arms between their breasts.

Androids also emerged from the buildings, their white forms granted a well-deserved break as the defensive barrier hummed with protective energy. Having fought relentless battles against machine life forms throughout their existence, the respite was a welcomed pause from constant vigilance.

"Let's make a campfire in the forest!" Shizuka suggested.

"Right, I haven't enjoyed something like that before," Saeko replied.

"Perfect timing for it. It would be fun with so many people," Esdeath chimed in, reminiscing about her camping days in college with friends.

"Let's go," Lucia agreed, and the group made their way to the forest section of Babylon.

As they reached the center of the forest, a carpet of soft grass covered the ground, interspersed with patches of sand. Unlike ordinary grass and sand, these were luminescent and tender, resembling delicate feathers.

A wide-open field unfolded before them, culminating at the edge with a majestic waterfall. The crystal-clear waters cascaded like sparkling gems into a medium-sized lake. The lake's transparency allowed them to peer through the bottom of Babylon, revealing the mesmerizing display of the rainbow-colored space tunnel.

The perimeter of the open field was adorned with trees, their leaves and random flowers emitting a magical glow that illuminated the surroundings. The enchanting natural lighting negated the need for a campfire, yet Lucia decided to create a slightly elevated platform using magic. On this platform, she fashioned a large campfire encircled by crystal stone borders.

The androids busied themselves preparing seats, tables, camping stoves, and plates. Yuriko and Esdeath issued orders, while the other girls enthusiastically assisted. Meanwhile, Lucia and White found themselves a secluded spot away from the bustle, sitting side by side on a log that served as a makeshift seat.

It was evident that White had something on her mind, prompting Lucia to give her full attention.

"Sorry, White. Even though we won, the world couldn't stay the same. Your efforts to reclaim Earth were incredible," Lucia said, sighing as she gazed into the campfire.

"It's okay... as long as Mother is with us, we're happy. Reclaiming it without her and the humans wouldn't have meant much anyway," White replied, her smile conveying a sense of contentment.

"So, our hard work wasn't in vain for us," White continued, turning to meet Lucia's eyes. The two shared a meaningful look by the flickering light of the campfire.

Desire flickering in her eyes, Lucia leaned in towards White, who reciprocated the longing gaze. Their lips met, a soft and slow kiss that gradually intensified, accompanied by the subtle sounds of their shared moment. Androids nearby stole glances at the tender scene but remained focused on their festival preparations.

As time passed, Lucia and White's kiss deepened, their connection growing more passionate. The androids continued their work, creating an atmosphere of festivity around them.

After a while, Lucia and White reluctantly parted, and White rested her head on Lucia's shoulder. Lucia gently placed a hand on White's shoulder, creating a moment of quiet intimacy amidst the preparations.

The other girls approached, each holding a meal. A gentle melody played in the background, setting a soothing tone. They all sat down on the logs, and magically appearing tables held their meals, courtesy of Lucia's magic. The combination of soft music, warm light, and shared company created a festival-like atmosphere.

They began chatting happily, reveling in the joy of the moment. Seated on the logs surrounding the table were Saeko, Shizuka, Devola, Popola, Saya, Yuriko, Rika, Rose, Anemone, Lily, A2, A4, G16, 21S, Lucia, and White. The camaraderie between them created an atmosphere of warmth and contentment.

Android girls approached from time to time, offering greetings to Lucia and her wives while they also enjoyed the newfound peace. Despite the lingering sadness over the loss of many comrades, the knowledge that they had finally concluded their endless war and discovered a tranquil haven filled them with happiness.

As they continued to chat and enjoy the moment, time passed slowly, each passing minute reinforcing the serenity of their gathering.

Eight hours had passed since they entered the space tunnel or portal, yet the journey showed no signs of reaching its destination. In the bedroom, Lucia, White, A2, and A4 lay peacefully asleep. Their forms, devoid of clothing, bore the result of a completed project: the integration of female organs into the androids' bodies.

(A/N: That's right next chapter would be R18.)

G16 and 21S were absent from the bedroom, saving their planned integration for the following day with Lucia. Meanwhile, it appeared that Devola and Popola were considering joining during Shizuka's turn.

Lucia opened her distinctive eyes—one dark-red and one light-grey—and turned to observe her sleeping wives. As androids, they were crafted to closely resemble humans, and their emotions felt remarkably real. To an observer unaware of their internal mechanics, they would pass for human. Despite not requiring sleep, they embraced the human imitation, allowing their systems to rest. In the current moment, White, A2, and A4 lay beside Lucia, each occupying a specific space with affectionate closeness. White on her right, A4 on her left, and A2 nestled against Lucia herself.

(Lucia POV)

"It's truly enjoyable spending time with my wives," I thought.

Turning to Rin, I inquired, "How long have we been here?" as I absentmindedly played with White's untied blonde hair, my gaze fixed on the expansive window revealing the colorful space tunnel.

Rin provided the information, "It's been over 8 hours."

I asked Rin to display the notifications.

[Understood.]

[Congradulation! You have taken White's virginity! You have received 10,000,000 Coins!]

[Congradulation! You have taken A2's virginity! You have received 10,000,000 Coins!]

[Congradulation! You have taken A4's virginity! You have received 10,000,000 Coins!]

'Oh… now I'm rich.' I though in my mind.

Even though there wasn't blood after I had intercourse with them it still counts as virgin. Hmm… well they have never done something like that after all.

'I will sell machine cores and machine life form body parts, after all, I can create that kinds of things using corrupt energies from the abyss realm for androids. Ah, but leave the machine core of Red Girl's shell.'

[Understood.]

[You have sold body part of small biped and received 200 Coins.]

[You have sold small size machine core and received 1000 Coins.]

[You have sold body part of medium biped and received 500 Coins.]

[You have sold body part of Goliath Engel and received 10,000 Coins.]

…

[You have sold body part of Goliath Engel and received 10,000 Coins.]

'Arg, too many notifications! Rin skip those.'

[Understood.]

[All body parts and core of machine life forms have been sold.]

[Note: system can upgrade now. Will you process right now?]

'Oh… finally you can upgrade Rin?'

[Yes. Will you upgrade now?]

'Ok'

[To upgrade you need to use 1,500,000,000 Coins. Will you process it?]

'WTF! Rin! Are you scamming me?!'

[No. It costs that much because after upgrading there will be many benefits for you and your wives.]

'Arg. Are you sure?'

[Yes.]

'Hmm…how much do I have now?'

[Currently, you have 2,198,000,000 Coins]

'This… I feel like I have to pay off the debt after I got rich. What is this…' I said as I sighed.

'Can you give me a discount?'

[Lucia, I'm not the one who created the system. So, I can't help you with that, sorry.]

'Haa… okay… just… upgrade it.'

[Understood.]

Light blue color panel appear in front of me.

[The upgrade have start!]

[1%...23%...50%...]

[ERROR]

'HOLY SHIT!'

[ERROR have resolved!]

[System returning to normal.]

'Fuck. That scare me.'

[80%...99%…100%]

[The system have upgrade!]

[The stats will change into universal measure!]

[The skills that could buy for the user's lovers will be limited to 5!]

'Wait. What? Isn't this nerf?! And you stole almost all of my coins!' I complain in anger.

[In return they will get Exclusive Skills for their race as they level up to a certain point!]

'…Oh. EX-rank Skill? If we can get EX-rank skills just by leveling up, it's indeed good…'

[Your wives race can changed into their respective race's superior rank at a certain level!]

[Currently your wives race will upgrade along with system as a bonus!]

'Oh… nice. Nice.'

[Shizuka's race have upgraded into 'Divine Dragon'.]

[Yuriko's race have upgraded into 'Divine Dragon'.]

"This is amazing!" I smiled brightly, gently giving a kiss on the head of my sleeping wives. The profound connection with them radiated a sense of divinity that I could clearly feel.

[Yuri system have changed into Yuri Empress system!]

'Wait, really?'

[Subordinate function have added!]

[Currently YoRHa androids can be added!]

"Oh, subordinate functions have been added as well."

[Yes, you can add the girls who respect and have at least 80% affection for you. Also, they can become your wives as well if you and the girls want.]

"Nice, this is starting to feel like a lover candidate scenario. LOL. Add all YoRHa android girls as subordinates!"

All the YoRHa android girls were added as subordinates. Shortly afterward, numerous notifications appeared in front of me.

[1B have become your subordinate! Current affection: 80%!]

[3A have become your subordinate! Current affection: 80%!]

[4E have become your subordinate! Current affection: 80%!]

[20B have become your subordinate! Current affection: 80%!]

[11A have become your subordinate! Current affection: 80%!]

…

[Subordinates can use the corrupt energies stored in them freely! The energies can be recharged with intimate acts! Of course, you can also just give them corrupt energies into their cores as well.]

"Ha! Who would decline this kind of offer! I'll just engage in intimate acts to recharge their corrupt energies."

[The main task has been created!]

[Main task: Create an Empire Fill with Yuri couples.

Description: Built a place for empire and show the world that you have a harem full of girls and Yuri subordinates! The more yuri couples in the empire the better! Go and create an empire full of Yuri couples!

Requirement: Build a palace and city (1/1), Subordinates (94/2,000), Yuri Couple (0/1000).

Reward: Abnormal Status Immunity {EX} and Emergency recall {S} (To Lucia and her lovers including subordinates.)]

[Abnormal Status Immunity {EX}: Immune to all kinds of abnormal status.]

[Emergency recall {S}: Instant Teleport to the Empire.]

"What the... I don't even know what to say. Isn't this great?"

Although there weren't any coins or offensive skills as rewards, the acquired skill itself was valuable. Complete immunity, not just resistance, along with escape-like skills for emergencies.

As I checked the system, the space tunnel suddenly disappeared, revealing a breathtaking blue sky adorned with fluffy clouds. I turned to gaze at the sky through the large window near the king-size bed.

"Finally, we have reached a new place..."

Swiftly leaving the bed, I covered my three wives with blankets. Even though they wouldn't feel cold being androids, it was a gesture I wanted to make for them.

"Rest for a while, my loves," I thought, giving a kiss on each of their heads and smiling. They deserved a peaceful rest after fighting an endless war for thousands of years. Now, it was time for them to be happy and enjoy a well-deserved rest.

After a refreshing bath, I donned a sleek black suit and tied my hair into a ponytail, completing the look with black shoes. Stepping out of the room, I headed towards the dining room.

There, I found Shizuka and Yuriko arranging food on the table. Greeting them with a kiss, I sat down to eat. Unsure about the exact time, I presumed it was lunch, given the daytime sky. Regardless, I enjoyed the meal with my wives before leaving the building.

"There doesn't seem to be a mission for this world. Maybe because I didn't use the 'world-traveling ticket'? Anyway, it's time to check which world I've landed in. I wonder where it is."

With White still sleeping and the androids resting, I left Babylon to explore the unknown world.

"This... am I in some kind of apocalypse world?" I muttered to myself, observing the remnants of buildings that had crumbled years ago. I hovered midair, sustained by magic, taking in the haunting scene of destruction.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(General POV)

Lucia surveyed the surroundings, reminiscent of the Ruined City from the world of Nier: Automata. Broken buildings stood like silent sentinels, occasionally disturbed by the rustle of overgrown vegetation and the distant echoes of crumbling structures.

A lush canopy of twisted vines and resilient trees had claimed the skeletal ruins, weaving a complex tapestry of greenery through the decaying infrastructure. The resurgence of nature against the backdrop of human desolation created an otherworldly ambiance.

Sunlight filtered through dense foliage, casting dappled shadows on broken streets and cracked pavement. Asphalt had given way to nature's persistence, transforming once-paved roads into winding trails of tangled roots and stubborn weeds.

With each step, the uneven ground told a story of nature reclaiming its dominion over man-made structures. Gusts of wind carried whispers of leaves and echoes of a bygone civilization. Fallen debris littered the landscape, and the air held a faint scent of dampness, embodying the perpetual battle between nature and the remnants of a once-thriving urban hub.

The atmosphere exuded haunting beauty and desolation, a silent testament to the passage of time and the resilience of life. The ruins stood frozen, capturing the fragility of human achievement against the relentless forces of nature.

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..." Lucia thought as she slowly descended to the ground. Standing in the midst of a broken street, she noticed a pink-colored, four-legged, alien-like robot approaching. It played a recorded voice on repeat:

Lucia look at the robot in a daze.

Lucia looked at the robot in a daze. "Don't tell me..." she said to herself in shock.

"It's better if I follow it," Lucia thought, and she trailed the robot until they reached a large shelter building. Lucia halted at the entrance, about to force the front door open, but a red laser-like scan fell upon her, thoroughly examining her presence.

After the announcement, a long door lifted, revealing a road illuminated with a pale-blue glow at its edges. The road stretched towards the inner parts of the shelter, inviting Lucia to explore its mysterious depths.

Lucia proceeded into the shelter as announced. Another door awaited her, this time opening automatically without scanning. Inside, she discovered numerous rooms along the sides and a large LCD TV atop a central pillar. The screen displayed a black-haired, black-eyed AI in a white suit, making announcements.

"No way... am I really inside the 'Cross Ange' anime?!" Lucia exclaimed in disbelief.

In that moment, Lucia confirmed that she was indeed inside the world of "Cross Ange," and, more significantly, she was in the true world where humans had transformed into dragons.

"Hmm... I don't know which timeline I've reached," she pondered.

Drawing from her knowledge of the anime, Lucia understood that this world was ravaged by a devastating world war, rendering it uninhabitable for humans. Most had sought refuge in another parallel world, referred to as the false world.

The leader who had taken them was 'Embryo,' initially a kind-hearted man but who had developed a god complex and disturbing tendencies, bordering on rapacious behavior. Despite his twisted nature, Embryo was a genius scientist.

Embryo's transformation occurred when, as a researcher, he became trapped in a rift between space and time. This predicament unfolded when the scientists used the Ragna-mail as a dimension-jumping machine, unwittingly taking him along. The island he had been researching and the Ragna-mail were caught in this rift.

Initially, Embryo sought to guide humanity towards peace. However, the ceaseless wars and conflicts eroded his sanity, leading him to forcefully reshape the world. Using his Ragna-mail, he destroyed and reconstructed civilization.

Lucia contemplated her situation. "Well, I don't know which timeline I'm in, but the problems might be solved if I kill him. It's not that simple, but I just want to end him," she thought.

"Too bad, I don't have a skill that could take me to that bastard's base, and my coins aren't enough to buy skills like that yet," Lucia mused. She walked back out from the shelter, her thoughts focused on finding a solution to this challenge.
