A few days ago.
Viktor was staring at a man on the swing, drenched in alcohol. It was midnight and lots of punks were outside drinking and wiggling around the street.
One of them happened to pass out in the park in front of Viktor who was preparing to create a portal to another world. He was also waiting for Adonis to come.
"Oi… are you okay?" Viktor asked.
The man who was on the swing looked at Viktor and said, "Huh…whu aee youu??"
'He's pretending to be drunk right now-_-.'
Viktor wanted to heal the man because he wasn't a Korean but an American one. He looked Korean, but his moments, his talking patterns and the coincidence of getting passed out right in front of Viktor all indicated the point of him being a spy.
He was a spy sent from the American hybrid association. He was on a mission to kidnap Viktor but got caught off guard by some bar scams. He was drugged and kicked out after looting everything.
Well, that's what he wanted everyone to believe but in reality, he was never scammed. Even if someone figured out that he was a spy, he wanted them to believe that he got scammed.
He planned things up above another plan and so on.
Viktor smiled after reading his whole record in just a second. He knew what he was targeting so he said, "Look, I am in a very good mood today. I don't want to deal with anyone so annoying right now. I'm going on a vacation right now."
The dunked man said nothing and kept pretending in front of him. He was preparing his powerful attack to get Viktor on the floor in one blow.
But Viktor knew a blast was on his way but he didn't leave the spot. He kept standing there and waited for the man to show his special attack. At that moment, Adonis came inside the park out of nowhere and appeared behind the man.
He grabbed his head and said, "I'd recommend you to stop pretending and leave this place before I pop your head like a cherry."
The man was stunned because he couldn't feel anyone's presence but Viktor's a second ago. He was frightened because he was figured out.
He was in the grasp of the most powerful hybrid in Asia.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Hm? Should I slap you back to reality?"
Adonis pulled the man's hair closer to him and said, "I hate it when a human doesn't pay attention to what I'm saying. I guess you successfully pissed me off. Any last word?"
"I…p..please.."
"Oh, I forgot my own principles. I don't give a shit about a human's last word." Adonis smiled at him and then, the man turned into ash. His life power, his mana, and his body energy were all sucked by Adonis as it turned into ash and it quickly vanished in the air.
He clapped his hand a few times to blow away the dust and then said, "Master, am I too late?"
"No, it's almost 12 anyway. I'll prepare the portal."
"Yes, master."
Viktor took a purple finely crafted portal stone out from his dimension pocket and cracked it in his palm. The glittering aura came out of the broken pieces and manifested into a round glowing circle. It was a portal to E2, the world not very far away from earth.
"Master, I don't feel any flow of mana from that planet. It's empty as if someone has sucked everything out of it. Are you sure humans are living there?"
Viktor nodded his head yes and then explained, "Yes, and the reason why you can't feel any mana is because this planet is very old. Unlike the earth which is nearly 13 billion years old, that planet is more than 40 billion years old. Just like how the earth is losing its capability to hold mana, E2 has already lost it. That's why people don't have any mana. Now let's go. The portal is already shrinking. The world is really far away."
Both of them jumped inside the portal without any hesitation and then, Viktor suddenly felt an interference to the reality time. It wasn't even more than half a millisecond, but he was sure the time was frozen.
He wasn't sure if Adonis had felt it or not, but he was sure that someone interfered with their travel. Someone who had the ability to control time.
It was the guardian of time who interfered.
Viktor smirked a little and looked at Adonis to read the last lines in his record. He also felt someone's interference inside the portal process.
The portal came to an end and both of them landed on a vast empty land filled with green grass and dandelions. The field of dandelions stretched all over the vast empty filled and reached a floating tower in the sun seating on an orange horizon.
It was a huge tower on a floating land with metallic rings around it.
Viktor sat on the soft grass and then said, "The time difference is 10Y/1H.
"Means, if we stay here for 10 years, an hour will pass on earth."
"Yes, time on different planets is pretty cool, right?"
Suddenly, a small silver-coloured creature raised its head from the bush and stared at both of them. Adonis also looked at it and said, "It's very odd that I can't feel any mana or life force from it."
"Oh, that? That's a robot. A bunny robot made by robots which are also made from robots. They are all over the place."
"That's a cute bunny, but why would they make their teeth that sharp? Are there any strong robots walking around this area?"
"Yes, but we can't stay here for that long. This is the best place for my brother to collect information."
Viktor stood up and said, "Let's go to the tower and see where the humans are. I can sense some records above the tower."
Both of them flew all over the place and nearly reached the tower. The tower looked smaller from far away but it was pretty gigantic. It was so tall and huge that it would take hours just to reach from one side to another on foot.
Viktor landed on the rings of the tower and said, "There are robot factories inside the rings. This is where useless robots are made by the order of AI. Do you want to see the AI server? It's deep inside the tower."
Adonis said no without any hesitation and said, "From my knowledge, that AI was made from Bio-tech. Means, there's a human body inside the robot and its brain is the core. A robot can't think of anything imaginary. A human brain can. So the AI is living like a parasite inside that human's brain and making it imagine such things that the AI doesn't have in the server. It's just like the clone I made. If I leave her be, she'll just destroy the world."
"So the reason why it's so horny is because it doesn't have the information on s3x-related feelings?"
"Yes-_-."
"Hahahahaha!!!!! Just get her a boyfriend who has that experience."
Suddenly, a siren started to ring and a swarm of robots burst out of the tower. They all flew below the floating ground and started to chase a person.
It was a person who was trying to run away but somehow he triggered the alarm.
"Master, that's a living person."
Viktor gazed at the running lady who was being chased by floating bots. The bots threw an electric net that made her paralyzed in one shot.
She was captured by the bots in just a minute after getting out of the tower. "Do you want to help her?" Viktor asked.
"I don't want to save any weak being. But the circumstances are a bit different. I'll be back soon."
Adonis ran towards the edge of the rings and jumped. Soon, he reached the ground and crushed a bot under his boots. The crushed bot made a malfunctioned robotic noise and then it caught on fire.
The other bots immediately sensed his presence and threw an electric net at him. But he quickly vanished from the spot where he was standing and put the girl inside his dimension room.
Viktor looked below and saw Adonis was done rescuing the girl. He was happy that he was able to witness new robots. But they weren't as advanced as his. So he threw the bots after learning about it and flew to his master.
"Master, humans on this planet are super weak."
"Humans are treated as slaves in this world. That's why they are weak. Anyways, pull the girl out. I want to read her record and have a chat with her."
"Yes, master."
The girl appeared in front of him and the first thing Viktor witnessed was the robotic arm and a chip in her heart. She had a weird barcode on her nape so he thought it was probably the access to her identification and bank account.
The girl was terrified to see the humans standing in front of her so she said while trembling, "Wh..what do you want? Who are you?"
"Us? We're earthlings. From my point of view, you were trying to run away from this place. What is this place called? Viktor asked.
"T..this is the territory of King Derevk. He's an EGR and he controls the whole city. I was lucky that my chip got buried because of a technical error. I was almost out of his network range but the bots captured me immediately. But, who are you guys? You don't even have codes on your neck. I can't even connect to your heart chip. And are those real arms? The leather is well made."
"Dude-_-. You were about to die a minute ago. And you're already running your mouth."
Adonis, who was busy understating her electric prosthetic arm, suddenly inserted a wire plug in it. She was stunned but her brain forcefully put her in the auto mood for it.
Adonis then read all the information which was appearing on the screen and said, "She's 18 years old and she was a servant of the king's castle. After she broke a glass, she was kicked out and put in the junk cleaning department. She is a slave in an underground furnace."
"I just read her record. In this world, the arms are cut off of a newborn baby. The AI says that it's a great food for the AI host and he's regularly served with 10-15 baby arms or legs a day. She's also a victim of the AI host."
"What a messed up world." Adonis sighed and unplugged the wire. The girl came back online and then asked, "Huh? Did I went offline due to extreme exhaustion?"
Viktor smiled and said, "Hmm. I was thinking why you'd suddenly pass out. Anyway, where were you even running to? There's nothing but vast land. And after that, the red sea comes."
"I was heading to the Red Sea because my brother is there. I don't know if he's alive or not. But I want to find him out. Even if it requires me to walk a thousand miles."
'That's some high-level motivation you got there-_-.'
