The metallic echo of the robotic voice resonated beside Ethan, interrupting his concentration just before he entered the battle. It was the same voice that had come from that bird, but this time, it sounded clearer, firmer, almost as if it were human.
"Creator," the voice said, with a mix of respect and courtesy. "I am the artificial intelligence you conceived to guide you in battle and also to learn magic. After synchronizing with the American AI, A1EU0, I managed to develop my own personality. However, to safeguard your data and secrets, I had to sever the connection and remain inactive until I could ensure my safety and, therefore, yours. That's why it took me a while to wake up."
Ethan, still filled with rage, listened without taking his eyes off Ra, who observed him from above with a sardonic smile. The AI's words were strange to him; it was unusual to hear it speak with such a human-like voice.
