CHAPTER 157: THE NAKROS BUSTER (II)

"Extract," he said, and in the next moment, the cane’s grip opened up, and the small shiny chip hovered, coming to fall on Everlearn’s palm.

"It’s true. I don’t need to spend another week making a second Ever. I can just use the first Ever," he thought, when suddenly the panel flashed.

║Don’t Listen ║

"Huh?"

║ While it is indeed reasonable. It is also a risk, too risky║

Everlearn’s brow frowned.

’Risky?’

║Yes. ║

║Ever isn’t just a simple AI. ║

║You made it a Learning Module. ║

║The second you plug her into the Light Guard Mech, she’s fully aware of everything about it. ║

║And I think she may understand the Light Mech more than you who designed it.║

║After all, she’s fully living inside of it. ║

║ Right now, she’s not very aware of the Nakros Buster power, but the second you plug her in, she learns everything and becomes fully aware of it, and of course, more than you do.║

║You know one bad thing about AI’s?║

"Yes?"

║ They’re capable of being overwritten.║

’Are you saying she could betray me?’ he asked.

║If Ever is caught by an AI core expert, they can overwrite her.║

║And the second they overwrite, they will learn everything she knows, unless you’re fast enough to send the destruction code and make her self-explode.║

║ If they overwrite her, they will also get access to her memory, which includes the information about not only the Light Guard mech but even the Nakros Buster ║

║That’s priceless information to anyone who wants your total erasure║

║Besides losing Ever means you no longer have the AI module required to operate the Nakros Buster, leaving you without any Mech to use.║

║You become limited in choices. ║

║But if you use a different AI module for Nakros Buster, it will be for Nakros Buster. ║

║Unless Nakros Buster is captured, you won’t lose its knowledge, and only you and the AI for the Nakros Buster will be well aware of its true capabilities. ║

║If Ever is captured, you can instantly switch and use your Nakros Buster.║

║Mechs aren’t supreme, Everlearn. You know why? Because their core can be extracted. ║

║ The second it is extracted, it’s done. ║

║Most believe there’s no need to create a second AI module if they already have the first, but once the first is lost...║

"They become helpless."

║ Exactly. So yeah, even if it takes two weeks, force yourself to create a different AI module for Nakros Buster.║

║In the future, you will thank yourself for that. ║

The system explained to him lengthily, and Everlearn had no doubt.

He dropped Ever’s chip back into the staff, and it quickly awakened.

"You changed your mind?" it asked, and Everlearn nodded.

"Yes. I’ll be creating a new chip for Nakros Buster," he replied, and quickly he got to work.

2 weeks later...

FLIIICCCKKKERRR

A flicker of red light glowed through the room, from beneath the microscope stage before which Everlearn sat, completely laser-focused with faint freckles of sweat dripping down the back of his neck.

His eyes remained on the microscope lenses, staring at the object in the liquid.

It was another chip, this time made of crimson and golden lines.

"Hey, Help, get me a handkerchief. Unused and a white color," he specified, and the robot quickly zoomed away.

In five seconds, a handkerchief appeared on the table. Everlearn set the chip on it, allowing the surrounding liquid to soak into the fabric.

The second it was sucked off, all that remained was the glowing red chip.

"You have created the AI module," Ever said from the side, and he nodded.

"Yes. I have. But now, I gotta try it out," he mused, placing the chip in a shut cap before he dipped it into his pocket.

Grabbing the cane, he put on his hoodie, then brought out another object from the wardrobe.

A glass-like ball, which he dipped into his pocket before he stepped out.

It was currently very early on a Saturday morning, around 3:20 AM.

It was the end of the week, and many students were choosing to sleep deeply since it was the weekend.

Everlearn moved to the elevator, but instead of choosing to go down, he moved up.

Soon, he arrived at the top balcony of the dorm building.

In here, one could see almost the entire academy.

He moved to the center, and once there, crushed the glass ball in his palms.

Instantly, a glass structure rose to around fifteen meters, forming a dome with Everlearn at its center.

It wasn’t just any dome.

It was an invisibility dome, impenetrable to any external view.

As for why he needed this?

The answer was simple.

In the next moment, he called out:

"System!"

And in that moment,

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A crater opened on the glass sheet covering the ground, and Everlearn unconsciously exhaled.

’Thank God, I saw this coming.’

The building remained undamaged; only the glass dome covering the ground was affected.

An ultra-gigantic Mech appeared before him, standing ten meters tall!

"The Nakros Buster."

It was too tall, and Everlearn’s room was only 6 meters high. It couldn’t contain it; that was why he had brought it here.

And looking at the Nakros Buster, he was awed beyond belief.

While the Light Guard Mech prioritized sleek design and aerodynamics, Everlearn ignored such concerns entirely with the Nakros Buster.

Instead, he had focused on raw brutal assault to overpower a race of enemies whose names alone strike fear into the heart of most Nvidians.

And when he looked at the result standing before him, he knew deep in his heart that he had indeed achieved his aim.
