Chapter 148

Title: Seraph (1)

....

Amon and Raki walked into the elevator as Raki asked while following behind him, "Hey, what's happening? You don't seem surprised at all, what was that mechanical voice? An Automata or… an A.I.??"

Raki's eyes suddenly grew as she realized that it did seem like an A.I. 'But how can something so high tech that even those people on the moon rarely possess be underground in Shandora?'

"Broth–"

"I will explain later, just go with the flow for now," Amon said, pressing Raki's shoulder lightly.

"...Okay." Raki nodded lightly.

Soon after, the elevator reached many hundred meters below the golden architecture and stopped, opening itself in front of Amon and Raki.

Zzzzh…

With a gust of smoke, the elevator opened but this time there wasn't any poisonous mist.

Amon chuckled seeing this. "Wow, are you perhaps trying to appear considerate, Seraph?"

[....]

The A.I stayed silent.

Amon walked through the door of the elevator and stood in the open space of the Shandora Hall.

It was, like before, huge and beautiful. Looking at all the weapons around, Amon couldn't hide his excitement.

He smiled brightly. 'Soon, this will all be mine. My army will be the strongest, none of the Emperor's army would be my match.' Amon thought.

"Whoa…" Raki too was surprised to see the futuristic equipment and weapons.

Although she had seen much better things on the Moon, she could tell a small sum of equipment here was better than the Moon's. But what caught her attention the most was the Supercomputer in the middle of the Hall. "I was right! It's an A.I. !"

Guns, invisible robes, daily accessories, laser lights, cars, even tanks! There was everything Raki could imagine! But the A.I was the most exciting thing to her.

She whistled and stared at the many cameras around her. "So advanced… something so cool existed here under Shandora?!" Raki exclaimed in surprise.

"?" Raki took steps back as she felt something off with her Haki.

Suddenly, the floor separated and two chairs popped out in front of them from the void below.

[Please sit down and relax your nerves.]

Amon walked past the small chairs, going towards and sitting on the soft luxurious seat in front of the Monitor.

"Sera, are you treating me like an outsider now? What's up with those small squirmy chairs?" Amon said with a grin.

Raki walked behind him and stood there without sitting.

[Not at all, I was just being considerate of that girl.]

"Considerate?" Amon raised an eyebrow while glancing at Raki who was pleased to stand beside him. "I thought you couldn't feel any emotions."

[Consideration isn't an emotion, it's calculating the feelings of the other party. I can at least do that.]

'She seems smarter now… this is not necessarily a bad thing though.'

"Interesting." Amon smiled at her webcam with emotions hidden in his eyes.. "Anyway, how have you been the past 5 years? I was young back then, I was naive back then, so I locked you here, you aren't holding any grudges, are you?"

Raki looked at him with a surprised face. She couldn't process his words at all.

[Not at all, I have been here for the last 800 years.] She stayed silent for a while before saying, [5 years is nothing, besides, it's not like I would have been of any help in the past 5 years anyway since Master left for the Moon.]

She said the truth, at first she was angry, but in the end, wasn't Amon a Shandorian? She realized hating her own people would not grant her anything good.

The A.I conversed with Amon while keeping Raki at bay.

'Look at this robot…' Amon stared at her soul, at her thoughts, with his Observation Haki. She wasn't lying. It seemed interesting to Amon. 'Did something change within her? Did she come to a conclusion that giving me the power of command is better than waiting for Joyboy? Or is it like a trial?'

If that was true or not, Amon would find out very soon.

[By the way, Master, I watched your fight with the Marine Admiral. I now have a general idea of the power level of this era. Truthfully, it's weak.]

'What?' Amon's eyes arched up. 'The power level of this Era is weak? No – our fight didn't cause the greatest damage, but the explosion, in the end, wasn't weak at all.'

Sera continued. [You might be shocked, but 800 years ago, there were hundreds of people who could cause such explosions and be fine afterward.]

With a small frown, Amon stared at a camera while Raki was shocked too.

"Tell me, power-wise, where do I stand among all the people you know?"

After a while, the computer beeped. [Hmm… I think I can see you being at the top 40 of my known strongest attacks.]

Amon felt his forehead going cold hearing her.

Seraph couldn't have answered this 5 years ago, but now that she has <Recovered> many of her erased memories, she can see where Amon stood.

'Top 40… I thought I am at least in the top 10 of all the people who ever lived in this world. But to think I was this wrong…' Amon felt dejected.

Soon after, he shook his head. 'No. This just means I have room for more improvements.'

"Alright, then do you know a person named Imu?" Amon asked while staring at her camera intensely.

[Please. I can't reveal any more information. I am sure you are aware of the reason – and that must be why you chose to come to me now, isn't it?]

Amon sighed hearing her. "Oh my, how did I forget? You want proof of Toki's arrival, don't you?"

Amon glanced at Raki who was confused and sifted his attention back to Seraph. "Tell me, do you have a lineage(DNA) sample of Toki?"

A.I beeped. [Although lineage wasn't our best point, we did have some knowledge on it. So I do have all the lineage data of ancient Shandorians saved within me.]

"I see." Amon then slipped his hands in his pants and took out a glass tube. "Then please, match this blood with Toki's lineage sample."

['Is that… Lady Toki's blood?!']

Instantly, a metallic hand came out from the roof and snatched the blood sample.

[I will match it quickly.]

Seraph was very excited to get her hand on this. This would open so many possibilities for her, after all.
