Chapter 82 - Eva comes back

John was sitting around in his dungeon looking at the leather bracelet Ullr created when a female Automata walked in wearing woolen clothes and a giant backpack came in.

When John saw her he knew that he was in trouble, and before anyone could say a word John flew backward through the room after Eva hit him in the face.

It did hurt but John knew that Eva held back or else his head would have been disintegrated.

"I am away for JUST two months and you go around and produce a murder machine that endangers the whole project!" Eva yelled at him.

But before John could ask what she means Eva furiously said: "It's not like we don't have any work to do but you just continue to throw more and more work on our plates! First the shovel then this dungeon which continuously gets reported and cursed and now this Colossus of you that runs around and murders NPC's! You should know that the over-intelligence of this world consists of all the NPC's but now your creation runs around killing them and now the whole project is deteriorating."

Eva kept cursing for several minutes leaving John no chance to say something, he even was scared and impressed by all the curses Eva knew.

After she was finished with cursing John asked why they couldn't just delete the Angersteel Colossus.

But now Eva started cursing again.

"Because some " genius" made it a demigod what placed this entity nearly at the core of our Over-Intelligence, we could have still deleted it but the main parts of the AI system, the "Gods" interacted with it and now it's an integral part of the system and has to be removed manually in the game by destroying it."

John had to wait once again for several minutes before the cursing subsided before he could ask: "Where's the problem? just give a game master some overpowered items and let him destroy it."

Soon after John was once again flying through the room by a punch from Eva.

Eva yelled at him: "There is no way to spawn items! You can't just type in some numbers and get an item, as every item that is created is evaluated by the AI-System and gets its strength and abilities. So now you've won the Jackpot, as an official member of Virtec Inc. Your job is to find the Colossus and deactivated it!"

"...tch...And because it's my fault for trusting you enough by leaving you alone, I have to accompany you on your Job." Eva said in an annoyed voice.

John was startled and wanted to say something so that he didn't have to go with Eva but a single glance of Eva's eyes got every word he wanted to say stuck in his throat and he accepted his fate. 

John just contacted Erika and the three of them started preparing for a difficult fight...

...The Blizzard subsided and Scrappy took the best Scrap pieces in the cave of the fire-lizard and put them in his bucket together with his Scrap-ingots he poured out of the molten metal. He continued his journey and walked for several days, he felt his urge for more scrap flaring up when he suddenly found a giant door on the side of a mountain. Scrappy nearly started singing when he saw that the giant gate was completely made out of scrap, so he cut a piece out of it and put it in his bucket and walked inside. He looked around and saw several humanoid creatures walking around. Scrappy had no name for these beings but other people would have known that he discovered the race of the Troglodytes, a race deeply connected the earth. So deep that some say the troglodytes were the direct descendants of the titans that created the earth and used the earth as a soul. They were smaller than a human by about 50cm, had dark rough skin with a lean muscular body. But Scrappy wasn't interested who or what people were he just knew that when there are people scrap to collect couldn't be far away. Scrappy walked around the city unnoticed grabbing some scrap here a there leaving behind a trail of screeching and fighting troglodytes that searched for the culprit behind their missing stuff. He has already walked for several hours when he came to a giant building that was carved out of the mountain itself, he entered it and it seemed to be a mix of a temple and a palace.

He went inside and found several rooms that were arranged in a circle around the center of the building while he even saw some troglodytes kneeling in them. When Scrappy followed the Corridor he found a big door that was highly intricate and was made out of the yellow shining Scrap the humans liked so much. Scrappy had a hunch that there had to be some high-class scrap behind that door so he went inside. Scrappy looked around and saw some people in finer clothes kneeling in front of a statue, but what fell into Scrappy's eyes was the gem that the statue was holding in his hand. It was no Scrap so not that exciting but Scrappy felt an urge to collect it. He slowly advance in the direction of the statue and started climbing it after he reached it. Everyone was praying so no one saw him climbing up the statue and when Scrappy reached the gem he quickly grabbed it and threw it in his bucket not noticing that the gem started to react with the other contents of his bucket...
