Chapter 334 - Artificial God (4)



Chapter 334 - Artificial God (4)

Kang Shin-hyuk shook his head strictly like a referee pulling out a red card.

“Not today. I’ll be working.”

“Oh, but dad!”

No matter how wide the world was, it made them only more dependent on each other that there were only three people in it. Kang Shin-hyuk had his memories of working metal alone for 20 years in his previous life, so now that Shin Eunah and Vita were there, he had the mental power to work for several years. Shin Eunah, who had just been rewarded for her feelings, and Vita, who longed for his affection from the moment they were reunited, weren’t as ready.

“I’m not pregnant yet. Claire’s is already 17 weeks in. She said she was getting sick because the child was kicking.”

“Eunah...”

For that to be possible at week 17, that child must already be a force to be reckoned with. He didn’t know if it was a daughter or a son, but Kang Shin-hyuk didn’t want his child to destroy humanity.

“But!”

“Dad, Eunah said this too!”

“Really, this is to the degree of being sabotaged. Are you not planning to go out?”

“To be honest, it’s not bad having three here... it would be better with two.”

“That’s the same here... Oh no, not dad!”

Kang Shin-hyuk had arrived in that world with a great sense of mission. He had contributed to Gaia’s extinction and created a controlled disaster known as Jormungand in the past. Now, he had the destiny of creating the Hero Universe.

“I don’t think it’s good to focus too much on work. Sometimes I’m tired of using so much magic.”

“Such a bold lie for one who draws all the mana out of this world.”

“Dad...”

However, these guys had a great sense of mission in just sleeping and enjoying the sweet life of an enclosed world. Shin Eunah had been somewhat restrained after the first few months of indulgence, but in Vita’s case, she tried to stick to him as much as possible.

“We’re resting together today, dad. Yeah? Mom, too. She said she wanted it, so...”

What did Claire want, and what could he do to her on Earth? It was embarrassing for him to say, but Vita and Claire could fully share their senses, and anything he did to Vita would be transmitted to Claire as well. At first, Vita, who was modest, seemed to have been talking with Claire, but from some point, it was like she wanted him to treat her as if she was Claire... Anyway, it was clear that Claire had given Vita that sensory function (and certain sexual functions) for that purpose. That woman was a pervert full of adventure and romance. No, not a normal pervert; she was an SSS-class pervert.

“Looks like it. You lied last time.”

The problem was that Vita was a pervert like Claire. The day before, she had tricked him by acting as if she was aligned with Claire. She was a really scary pervert, beyond the current limit. He was scared of how she had concealed her nature to trick him. No, was that similar to Claire?

“Oh, no. Not this time.”

Even now, Kang Shin-hyuk avoided her eyes and let out a sigh. Maybe the anecdotes of the creation of the heavens and the earth talked about in various myths were similar to this. The reason why so many new gods were born in the process was clear! He realized how patient he had been in his past life, to forge for twenty years without any desire.

“Let’s do a little more. It’ll be over soon.”

“...So, I’m going to rest.”

Shin Eunah grumbled at Kang Shin-hyuk, who maintained his strength despite the temptations of the two. Kang Shin-hyuk smiled bitterly, and the next moment flicked the foreheads of Vita and Shin Eunah.

“Ouch!”

“Ah.”

“You are precious, but so are the people outside this world. Stop being foolish.”

“Yep.”

“Yes...”

They would be serious, too; they just needed a moment to relax since they were more dedicated than anyone else. In fact, the hard work of building the system must’ve affected them.

“Shall we go then? I think... I’d like to be done in half a year from now.”

“Yeah.”

“I can’t let Claire have a child alone. Please cheer up.”

“Half a year... to get ahead, somehow quickly...”

“...”

Without a word, he dragged them both outside. There was a sphere of lighting floating above the center of the world. It looked like a big ball of light from a distance, but if one could see through the light, they could see seven orbs rotating around a single orb in the middle. It was the source of all energy, the universal machine capable of resonating with the world and generating infinite energy.

“Ah, the core is perfectly positioned. The system was also established.”

If they wanted to create a weapon instead, they would’ve been able to destroy several worlds at once or even create a new god. In fact, since Kang Shin-hyuk was working to create a system that managed several worlds, it wasn’t wrong to call it an ‘artificial god.’ If it had a difference from the Gaia system, it didn’t have Gaia’s specific weakness of actively controlling everything itself.

“Now an artificial intelligence to manage the system, it’s time to create an ‘administrator.’”

The Hero Universe was able almost completely to solve the Gaia system’s shortcomings. By placing the core in a disconnected world, it’s safety was assured. And by setting it to move according to its parameters rather than the desire of any individual to the point even Kang Shin-hyuk couldn’t modify it, it built an objective and fair structure. Of course, there was the side road called the VIP system, but it didn’t violate the fundamental rules of the system. In fact, wasn’t it impossible for the administrator to discourage or sanction those who qualified as members? If the administrator had acted according to his world, Tsukuyo would’ve never met Kang Shin-hyuk.

“But you know, honey.”

“Honey is still forbidden.”

Once the limit was released, Shin Eunah increasingly used the bold title.

“Then.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“Wouldn’t it be better not to have an ego in a completely fair system? Even if it’s okay now, there’s no guarantee another Gaia won’t be born one day.”

It was a valid point. Since the administrator of the Hero Universe already existed, he knew that couldn’t come true, but he decided to explain it as easily as possible for her to understand.

“I’ve mentioned it before, but... setting up the administrator is to prevent another Gaia from appearing.”

“Why?” No way, like the Termina-“

“No, it’s not like that. If I don’t set one, I’ll end up as the owner of the system.”

No system ran completely alone without someone’s control. So if he didn’t create one, Kang Shin-hyuk had to manage the system, and he would become the new Gaia. The administrator was a buffer between him and the system. Because of the administrator’s presence, he couldn’t control the system and will, and the administrator would also ensure he couldn’t break the system’s laws. As a bonus, Claire and Shin Eunah, who was helping build it, could’ve also tried to control it.

“Wow, I’m not sure yet. Is it like separation of power?”

“It’s different... yes, let’s just say it’s similar.”

“Ergo... the administrator is my sister!”

“What?”

Claire’s ability to create an ego like Vita’s was once again unfolding in this world through Vita’s hand. Now, he felt like he was caught up in another myth.

“Is Claire ready?”

“[Yes, I’m waiting.]”

“Good. Eunah?”

“I’m ready.”

“Vita?”

“Yeah.”

The world resonated with the system and let out a dull vibration. Now, the work of breathing a soul into the finished body would begin. Kang Shin-hyuk raised a trembling hand and formed a hammer of spiritual power. Shin Eunah rose in the air, wrapped in light, and Vita nervously pulled out nanobots. He grabbed Lucifer in his empty hand; it was the armament that would help him manifest his abilities.

Kang Shin-hyuk started his All-craft.

***

The first to detect the change was Janus and Loki. They felt the vibrations through the disconnected world of Chiral as they stopped the berserk monsters.

“Well?”

“What is it? Have you ever thought to stop?”

“That’s not it.”

Her eyes were on the gate, pulling in monsters that had just formed.

“The gate is discharging monsters to the outside.”

“What? Wait a minute... really?”

The Gaia system vanished, and the Chiral allowed no external interference as chaos asserted itself. However, as new rules began to govern the gates, they were forming again. And the moment they recognized it, a familiar message appeared before their eyes.

-Re-login to the Hero Universe.

-You are currently connected to a dimension that is disconnected from the outside world. It is possible to return to your original dimension. Would you like to move?

“Administrator!”

-The dimension where the member Janus is currently staying in a space prone to bugs due to external factors, so long-term access isn’t allowed. If no appropriate response is taken, you will be automatically discharged to an external dimension.

Yes, those pointless messages were definitely the administrators. However, it was surprising that the administrator was able to interfere with Chiral casually.

“Okay, now that Gaia is dead, is the Hero Universe taking control of Chiral?”

“Haha, who really manages everything is god in the true sense. Now is the time for us to retire.”

Janus sighed as Loki spoke up joyfully. She was envious of Loki’s ability to not worry much about the changes happening.

“But... okay. Now I can go to see Anvil grandpa.”

-...You want to see my dad?

“Administrator, what did you say?”

Janus had an expression of disbelief. The administrator responded by immediately creating a gate in the air.

-I said he was my dad. It means that the administrator can say that too.

“Do you have an older brother too?!”

-...There is an older sister.

Janus was horrified and tried to say something else, but she was pulled into the gate.

An unwarranted peace returned to Chiral.
