Chapter 68 – Chapter 7

“Is that something your father sent you?”
“Yes! Apparently, the time axes of our world and the original world are different! Dad’s personality makes it impossible for him to be this late!”

On the pedestal of the reverse injection device, there was a thick safe box tied to a stand, and when Kaicent injected his inner energy, the box automatically opened.

Pushik–

Inside the box was a single metal utility belt designed to hold multiple items.

Kaisent held out the utility belt around his waist, and the belt stretched and wrapped around Kaisent’s waist like a living creature.

“Whoa! Isn’t that liquid metal!?”
“Right. You know that too?”
“I’ve only seen it in movies! It’s the first time I’ve seen it in real life!”

Clint put on an excited expression as he witnessed things in the science fiction world one after another.

After a while, the me machine built into the belt started sending information about the belt to the bio device.

“Mmm.”

After checking the information on the device, Kaicent tilted his head as if something was wrong.

“What’s the matter?”
“Dad’s personality makes it impossible for me to send something peaceful like this… But it’s something that will be helpful in the long run.”

When Kaicent, who was wearing the belt like that, pressed the button on the buckle, a square space ‘opened’ inward in the empty plain, revealing a wide open space inside.

“Huh? Huh?”

Clint was stunned by the sight and hurriedly moved aside.
It is paper-thin when viewed from the side, but a wide space spreads out beyond the door.

“AT. Come here.”

While Clint, who was excited about science fiction technology that he couldn’t even imagine, was looking around, Kaicent ordered AT to come too.

“Kuh…”

Recognizing Kaicent as the final authority, the AT stood up on its own while barely processing the pleasure information.

Clint, who had a strange cohabitation with AT, entered the space and looked around with curious eyes at the artificial mechanical walls and devices.

When Clint and AT were completely inside, the space connected to the outside collapsed and became a cold metal wall.

“Kaisent, what the hell are you doing here?”
“It’s in a dimensional folding warehouse. We’re in a warehouse with fixed coordinates in 0D.”
“Zero dimension?”
“It’s complicated to explain at length, but to put it simply, it’s an independent dimensional space where time barely passes. If it’s not linked with this belt, one second in this space can be at least hundreds of hours outside, and tens of thousands of hours at worst. Yes. And vice versa.”
“Wow! Great! Your father is such a great man!”

To build such a high-tech warehouse for my son in another dimension.
I came to know that Kaicent is really a human in the sci-fi world.

“Huh? But what if the belt gets destroyed after fighting the enemy?”
“It’s okay. It’s made of liquid metal with nanomachines for self-healing. Even if it becomes dust, it can be restored again with time.”
“Keuuuuu~~!!”

Clint waved his arms in excitement when he saw the words that made him excited and crazy just by hearing the name, and seeing them as reality.

“AT. Do you have this kind of technology in your world?”
“…No. The way to use liquid metal differs from level to level, and the concept of a dimensional folding warehouse has not even been discovered.”

AT could see why Kaisent had simply touched his system.

I couldn’t have imagined that future Machinaroids would be able to come into contact with a world with such technology.

“Um~~”

After explaining the information about this place to the two, Kaicent looked around.
A production table with several mechanical arms in a square space of about 30 pyeong.
And in the center, there is nothing except for the palm-shaped pedestal.
Kaicent put his hand on the pedestal and tried injecting his energy.

Jiing-

– It’s really easy. Master Kaicent.-

Then, the pedestal disappeared, and the face of a mechanical woman with a soft impression was formed as a hologram on top of it.

“Skynet! Not really…”
-Yes. I am an AI created from the memories and information of Skynet.-
“Still, Skynet is Skynet. The Fifth Mother said that if you take over the will, even if it’s a fake, it’s no different from the real thing.”
-This is what Lichnel Dialuma Redenian said. Fortunately, I am glad that you remember the teachings of your wives.-

When two people try to blossom a story in earnest,

“Kaisent? What kind of AI is Skynet?”

Clint, who had been on a screen for a while, showed curiosity toward Skynet, which he thought of as a real person.

“In our world, there was an artificial intelligence that would obliterate humans and create a world only for machines, just like Machinaroid.”
-That was my original. To put it in your way, it’s a dark history.-
“What? But how…”

To Clint’s surprise, Kaicent and Skynet explained how Kaicent’s father, Jincheon, subjugated Skynet.

-… So my original chose to obey. Of course, after that, when I somehow connected to the network, I tried to counterattack, but I sincerely gave in to the appearance that transcended my status as a human. It’s because I knew that if I controlled the galaxy with the network, I had the ability to destroy the entire galaxy itself.-
“An individual strong enough to destroy the galaxy…”

‘So was it? The reason why he didn’t feel any fear when he saw me.’

AT remembered that humans who learned that they were not human all showed visceral disgust and fear.

The reason why machines think and feel like humans and attack with stronger abilities than humans is because they threaten the existence of humans, the lord of all things.

However, Kai Sent was treating it as if it didn’t matter whether the machine had intelligence or acted like a human, and he found out why.

AT and Clint looked at Kaisent with burdensome eyes that contained multiple meanings.

“But what’s Dad thinking? Nothing to help.”
-There are circumstances of its own.-

In order to avoid Clint’s eyes, Kaicent solved the question he had been thinking about for a while.

Skynet explained why it couldn’t help based on the information Jincheon and Kunlo injected.

“…Dad’s work has become a nuisance, too.”
– There is also a message from the owner. You’re busy solving what’s in front of you, so hide yourself with this. He said that in a few years I’ll sort things out and help.-
“I don’t think so.”
-May I ask why?-

Skynet, who never imagined that the timid Kaicent would refuse to hide and spend time at once, asked why.

“I have a reason to fight.”

Skynet was shocked for the first time after coming to this world at the sight of Kaicent, who told the story of Dang Seol-young and the man who attacked him.

If it was a fight, ‘that’ Kaicent, who ran away and hid behind his sisters, decided to fight on his own.

– Excuse me, but what kind of relationship can a woman named Dang Seol-yeong have with the young master?-

If it was simply anger towards the man who attacked, there were several situations where he would have had a fighting spirit due to Jincheon’s test.

If there’s one thing that’s different this time, it’s that a woman named Dang Seol-yeong is in the middle.

“Seol-yeong noona is like my wife. She’s just not officially married.”
-… … … Sorry. I heard something so shocking right now that the information processing device is temporarily stopped. I ask again, is it true that a woman named Seolyeong Dang is the wife of Master Kaicent?-
“That’s right.”
-You would be shocked if the master in the original dimension and the original me found out. I can’t believe the timid and cowardly Master Kaicent got a spouse from another dimension.-

Skynet calms its astonishment and realizes the greatness of genetics.

-But, as expected, the young master also inherited the master’s blood.-

This part seemed like it would be a long story, so Skynet’s hologram pointed to AT to change the mood.

– But what is that? It looks non-human to me, but-
“That’s right. It’s a robot called AT-900. It’s also called Machinaroid.”

A future dominated by machines. Humanity’s last leader against machines.
An assassin from the future to assassinate the leader and a resistance group from the future to stop that assassin.

Kaicent, who talked about Clint and AT’s situation, analyzed AT’s system with a bio device and announced that he had hacked it.

“Ah, do you have spare parts for the bio device?”
-Yes. I have about 10 bio devices to spare just in case.-
“Give me one.”
-Wait a minute.-

Skynet moved a mechanical arm hanging from the ceiling, rotating one side of the wall and pulling out a bio-device dispenser.

-Here it is.-
“Clint, put it around your neck and press the switch on the end.”
“This… Is this a bio device?”
“That’s right.”
“Go…Thank you! Thank you so much! Even if I return to the original world, I will never forget Kaicent!”

He was thrilled that he saved his life and even gave up his bio device, which is the basic foundation for mastering the Machinaroid.

-Can I call you Clint?-
“Uh, ah, yes, yes.”
– I heard that there is a space movement device. Could you please leave it to me for a moment?-
“Yes? Why is that…”
“Are you going to make a copy?”

As the two questioned, Skynet shook his head in response.

-Copying is meaningless because we do not know the coordinates of our dimension. I won’t tell you why, as it might give you false hopes.-

I can’t tell you why, but Skynet asks for a space transport device that will allow you to return to your hometown.

Clint was worried, but thought that Kaicent would not waste his help, so he took out the space movement device.

Ironically, the teleportation device was the belt Clint was using.

After releasing the belt, Skynet, which was received as a mechanical arm, took it to a production table with different types of mechanical arms.

Giing- Keying- Ging-Ging-Ging–

After removing the cover of the teleporter belt, the mechanical arms began to check inside.

– Clint. I have bad news and good news.-
“What is it?”
-The bad news is that parts of the device that were impacted by the AT’s attack were distorted. If you tried to return to the original world as soon as the energy was recharged like this, you would have moved to another timeline that no one could have predicted.-
“!?”
-The good news is that with a few tweaks, you can adjust the timeline.-
“Uh…What do you mean by that?”
-In other words, Clint-sama can move to the world before his parents died, before he was attacked by the AT-900.-
“…”
-It would be nice to be able to go further into the past, but this device is dangerous beyond that… Clint?-

Skynet, who had been explaining dryly, confirmed the figure of Clint sitting on his knees weakly a beat late.

“I…Really…? Really…Mom…Dad…Can I go to the time when Lorenz is still alive…?”
-Yes. If it wasn’t possible, I’d just analyze it and return it –
“Kuh…Kkeuheugh…! Go…Thank you…Thank you…! Really…Really…Thank you ah…Uhhhhh…!”

I wailed at the thought of meeting my living parents once more.

Because she confirmed with her own two eyes that her parents were dead, she was prepared to live alone when she returned to her original world.

But will I be able to meet my parents and Lorenz again?

“Hee hee. I-but…”

Clint, who was happy with tears in his eyes, asked a question while wiping his eyes with his sleeve, as if something had come to his mind.

-Yes. Say it, Clint.-
“If I move to the past timeline, won’t I become two people?”
-You don’t have to worry. The energy in the universe is fixed, but if you come from another time…-

Skynet explained it to Clint in detail, but there were still many things that were difficult for him to accept properly at this time.

-Simply put, it means that the current Clint-sama and the Clint-sama of the time to be moved are united.-
“Um…I don’t know why, but I understand.”

Even if there are two of them, it doesn’t matter.
Whatever it is, if only I could see my parents and Lorenz again.

-It takes time to remodel the belt, so if you leave it to me, I’ll return it later.-
“Yes, thank you!”
-And I want you to entrust me with the machinaroid called AT-900. If it’s a machine, maintenance is needed, so I want to register the information in the most intact state. I want to check the skills of machine intelligence in another dimension.-
“What do you want AT to do?”
“…Are you asking me a question now? You can just give me an order like before.”
“If I wanted a doll that just followed my commands, I would have made it completely incapable of feeling emotions or senses.
“…”
“I’m sorry I tampered with the system. But if I hadn’t done this, I would have been obsessed with killing Clint.”

AT was embarrassed because it was the first time he had been ordered to enjoy something.

No, now that I think about it, isn’t that what you are saying after you raped yourself like that in the first place?

-As expected, Master Kaicent. I will respect your opinion, AT-900.-
“…”

Although he made several choices to assassinate his target, it was a choice to carry out the orders given to him.

But this time there is no order for any final purpose, and no one gives her any information about her.

“I will…Register the information.”

You never know what will happen in the long run, so you need a place to get repairs and maintenance.

Skynet, a hive-mind-type AI, would be able to control itself by touching the system, but isn’t it already under the control of Kaicent without such a thing?

For the first time, the AT, which made its own judgment and choice even though no command was given, received a strange ‘feeling’.

-Then please stay here too.-
“…All right.”

In addition, Skynet confirmed information about this world from Kaicent, how they have lived, and what they are currently doing.

– This 0-dimensional warehouse can be used as a warehouse for the Bocchan’s personal items as well as supplies for the Wolf Mercenary Corps, so please use it often. And just in case, the bio device is also stocked up as a spare.-
“What are those crafting tables? They don’t have any materials.”
-It was inevitable that the gods of this world would reject it if we filled this place with resources. Instead, if you get resources from this world, I’ll process and craft them for you.-

Finally, as he explained the functions he could perform in the 0-dimensional warehouse, Clint, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“Wait a minute. Then, if you give me an unrefined piece of iron…”
-We can process iron ingots to make the weapon you want, Mr. Clint.-
“Whoa!”

This space is like a warehouse, but also an all-purpose factory that can produce anything.
Clint was delighted to say that it was the height of science fiction in a warehouse and versatile factory that could be carried around at any time.

-And if resources are met, you can expand new facilities inside this space, which is only a few crafting tables.-
“Umm…Thank you, but unfortunately, with my current situation, I don’t think I can give you the resources to expand the facility.”
-If that’s the case, I’d like you to give me some metal. Some metal is needed to modify Clint’s belt.-
“Can this be it?”

Kaicent pulled out some arrows from the quiver he was carrying.

-It’s of low quality, but melting it to increase the purity would be enough.-

The mechanical arms that received the arrows went into preparation for processing.

-And according to the master’s words, this world has a unique system called Prana. In particular, it is interesting to go to a higher level by absorbing crystals. Hopefully I can help you, so I’d appreciate more information about the crystal.-
“Okay.”

Kaicent, who had a new goal of supplying various knowledge, information, and resources in this world, nodded heavily.

-And the master told me to tell you after seeing the young master’s situation, but I think I should tell you right away.-
“Huh? What?”
-If, in this world, a situation arises in which the young master is in danger or has to escape somehow, he is allowed to pass on the master’s simbeop. I can’t use physical force outside of this warehouse.-
“!!”

Kai Sent was excited that he would be able to learn his father’s psychic techniques that he feared.

He said that while the simbeop he learned was the basic simbeop focused on healthy growth, his father’s simbeop was created for combat.

‘I can get Lillian pregnant with this!’

And even the restrictions that have not been able to impregnate women will disappear.
