The story of the black silk female knight

"Huh? The Tsuchimikado family?"

Valensa paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something:

"Could they be...?"

"Well, it's what you think."

Friggia nodded, then yawned again:

"Although I have never seen the Tsuchimikado family's magic in person, the basic principles of those spells that capture shikigami and spirit beasts are all similar... They all involve first beating up the target to weaken them, then taking the opportunity to launch a mental invasion, leaving their mark on the other person's mind, forcibly befriending them, or simply turning them into slaves."

While this method can indeed invade the consciousness of AI, it is also extremely dangerous… In a technologically advanced society, this behavior is called direct human-machine interaction. The way biological brains process information is completely different from that of machines, and people, especially those completely ignorant of scientific knowledge, would absolutely be corrupted by such information flows.

This is just a forced connection to a regular AI... Advanced AIs like Fog Demons must have much stronger firewalls and counterattack mechanisms.

Therefore, the Tsuchimikado family's attempt to control the behavior of the Mist Demons using shikigami magic is essentially like completely opening the gates of their own brains, allowing the Mist Demons to invade in reverse... So it's quite normal that they would eventually all become the Mist Demons' dogs.

The queen who decisively slaughtered the entire Tsuchimikado family was actually quite right... Those whose brains had been completely controlled by the Mist Demons could practically be considered dead. Their brains had been reformatted and reprogrammed into the Mist Demons' program, making them the Mist Demons' flesh-and-blood drones.

So, the idea of ​​mentally invading super AIs... should be abandoned as soon as possible. Humans simply cannot do such a thing, not even a brilliant cultivator who is proficient in computers... The difference between how biological brains and machines process data means that we are absolutely no match for them in this area.

Unless...uh...unless..."

Friggia hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"Unless you can find a false god who is proficient in the relevant knowledge... no matter how advanced a technological civilization is, it will still be limited by various physical or chemical principles, that is, the so-called rules. Therefore, the best way to deal with a technological civilization is to use the power that can interfere with or even change the rules."

Chapter 28: Preparing to Fulfill the Prophecy

Either find a super-powerful and reliable AI, or find a pseudo-god who is proficient in technology or whose powers are related to technology.

These are the necessary conditions for subduing the Fog Demon.

Valensa only considered the path of becoming a false god briefly before temporarily abandoning it.

too difficult.

There were originally many false gods in this universe, but they all perished in that catastrophe when the entire universe's energy was depleted.

The faith in the entire universe now almost entirely belongs to the Sun Goddess. There is hardly any fertile ground for false gods to grow. At most, some relics of false gods are unearthed... The specific powers of these relics depend entirely on luck, and the power of the relics varies.

Valensa, who almost always relies on the pity system when drawing cards, doesn't think she's lucky enough to dig up a useful pseudo-god artifact by chance. Compared to relying on luck, she prefers a guaranteed result, even if it requires more effort, as long as it's stable.

What about AI? It seems there's not much that can be done right now.

The most technologically advanced civilization Valensa has ever encountered is the cyberpunk world where Viva lives.

However, Frigia has made it clear that with the technological level of the cyberpunk world, the AI ​​she creates will definitely be inferior to the advanced fog demon.

Using that kind of AI to infiltrate the High Fog Demon might not only fail to rewrite the High Fog Demon's consciousness, but would also result in the High Fog Demon's firewall turning it into a catgirl.

Therefore, we cannot expect Wei's company to develop AI; we must start from other avenues... For example, there must be a usable super AI in the dimensional hardware store that connects countless worlds.

However, the Dimensional Hardware Store seems to have some kind of 'region-locking' mechanism. The items that each Dimensional Hardware Store member can buy and draw are restricted by the type of their home world.

Valensa's home world, Eve, is clearly a civilization of superhumans, so what she can draw and buy are all kinds of superhuman abilities or equipment, and very few technological products... Even if she has technological weapons, they are the kind of cold weapons made by technological means, such as her initial alloy longsword and alloy round shield, as well as the assassination ring with hidden metal wires.

And what about Wei? She's managed to get several Gundams from the Dimensional Hardware Store, but she can't even use the most basic fireball spell... That's the Dimensional Hardware Store's 'zone-locking' mechanism.

Therefore, you can neither buy nor obtain a Super AI from Valensa's Dimensional Hardware Store, no matter how many Dimensional Coins she has.

But Wei might be able to.

However, Wei has not yet completed the evolution at the life level... Her mechanical ascension plan seems to have encountered a bottleneck and is currently stuck.

Members of the Dimensional Hardware Store who haven't completed their life level evolution can't use the upgraded store system; they have to resort to brute force to get what they want, which is too unreliable.

There was no better way at the moment, so Valensa could only leave a message for Vi in the community function of the Dimensional Hardware Store members, asking Vi to keep the Super AI for herself after she drew it, and she specifically emphasized that it must be the Super AI drawn from the Dimensional Hardware Store, and the one made by Arasaka Company itself was absolutely not acceptable.

After doing all this, Valensa looked up at Frieda, who was dozing off with her eyes half-closed, and asked with a sudden thought:

"Sister Friedeja, can't you do it yourself? In a sense, you're a super AI created by the Eve civilization, right? Besides, you were once a false god and are also proficient in scientific knowledge. Don't you perfectly meet all the conditions?"

“Hum... If it were me thousands of years ago, of course it wouldn’t be a problem, but it’s not possible now.”

Friggia shook her head regretfully:

"In the face of catastrophe, in order to survive and carry on the Eve civilization, I have already given up all my abilities and life essence. Now I am just a slightly more powerful witch... Apart from having many ancient spells and strong immortality, there is not much difference between me and Tia."

"This……"

Valensa, somewhat unwilling, tugged at her black stockings:

"Is there really no other way? Shall I give you some more magic power, sister?"

"It's not a matter of magic... It's like you can charge a computer a lot, but it still won't have the functions it doesn't have, it won't work."

Friggia found it somewhat amusing, then pursed her lips and thought for a moment:

"But to be honest, there is a way, but you definitely wouldn't dare to do it."

"any solution?"

Valensa asked quickly.

"Let me become a false god once again."

Friggia shrugs:

"But you also know that forming a false godhood requires the power of faith... If you can find a million pure souls to devoutly believe in me, and give me a year, I can recover to the level where I can easily subdue the Mist Demon for you... How about it? Do you dare to do such a thing?"

"Hummummum... I really don't dare."

Valensa hesitated for a while, then dejectedly covered her bottom and lowered her head.

"As a paladin, helping a false god collect faith will surely get me a severe scolding from the angry goddess... Besides, isn't that just following in the footsteps of the sinful angels? I don't want to."

"I knew you wouldn't dare."

Friggia was not surprised at all:

"So, I can only offer some suggestions on this matter. You'll have to figure out the specifics yourself."

"But I just can't think of it~~"

Valensa looked distressed, grabbed a fresh, soft banana, peeled it, and ate it, but couldn't taste any sweetness; instead, it tasted slightly bitter.

"Emmm..."

Seeing Valensa like this, Frieda hesitated for a moment before reaching out to touch Valensa's leg and comforting her:

"Actually, little sister, you don't need to be in such a hurry... Fate lines are a very mysterious thing."

Seeing Valensa's expectant look, Friggia continued to stroke Valensa's leg, hesitated for a moment, and then chuckled softly:

"You've probably played quite a few story-driven single-player games like those 'technological civilization' games, right? Then you must have encountered this situation before... where you receive a quest that requires you to submit a certain item, but you can't obtain that item no matter what method you use at the time, and you have to wait until the main storyline progresses to a certain point before you can get it."

You're in a similar situation now... The Fate Observer told you the outcome four years from now, but who knows what will happen in those four years? The key to solving the Fog Demon problem might just appear naturally after something happens, so there's really no need for you to be in such a hurry.

Perhaps you're trying to say that reality and games are two different things... but unfortunately, in the eyes of those higher-dimensional beings, we're probably no different from the characters in a game.

"...Hum, that's all we can do."

Valensa was gradually persuaded by Friedeja's reassurances, and she pressed her body against Friedeja's.

"I just hate this feeling of having to take things one step at a time... I prefer to plan ahead and then strictly follow through on everything I do."

"Why did you have to know the fate of the natural disasters in advance?"

Friggia took the opportunity to hug Valensa and pet her like a cat:

"That Fate Watcher didn't want to tell you all this in the first place, right? It's very likely that she knew knowing this would only cause her more trouble, so it was better for her to know nothing and let everything unfold naturally... So, dear sister, stop worrying about the Mist Demon and focus on your next plan."

"The next steps in the plan..."

Valensa kicked off her other shoe, squeezing herself completely next to Frieda in a large, soft chair, their clothes getting more and more disheveled.

"That means annihilating the wild beasts! This is something I've planned for a long time... Ah, speaking of which, the human acorns should be ripe in the next few days. How about Sister Friedia comes with me to Ruler Island to collect the human acorns before we go back?"

"Okay."

Seeing that Valensa's shirt buttons wouldn't come undone by themselves, Frieda simply reached out her hand and lightly licked her lips:

"Tia must be pretty busy these days, right? Well then, I'll spend a few days having a blast with you, and maybe even recover some more magic power! Hehe~~"

"...Waaah, Tia, I'm so sorry!"

Valensa tried to resist, but found she couldn't, so she simply let go and enjoyed the taste of the ancient witch.

. . . . .

A few days later, the acorns on Ruler Island ripened and were successfully harvested by the ninja team that had been guarding the island around the clock, and then delivered to Valensa.

This was one of the rewards that Himiko had readily agreed to long ago, and Valensa accepted it all without any hesitation.

At this point, all the materials needed for the special pheromone solvent have been collected. The next step is to officially create this trump card weapon that can annihilate wild beasts.

Valensa, who had spent several days having fun with Friggia and Chiba, returned to the underground ruins to watch Friggia finalize the special pheromone solvent.

With the help of the equipment that had already been restarted within the ruins, the setup process went smoothly and was completed in less than 3 days.

However, the finished product was less than Valensa had anticipated.

There's no way around it; in both magic and science, the quantity of something that can be made never depends on the most abundant material, but rather on the least abundant one... just like how the shortest plank always determines how much water a barrel can hold.

The materials required for special pheromone solvents are all rare materials, and some materials may seem like a lot, even if they weigh tens of tons, but after refining they may only amount to a few dozen grams.

So in the end, the finished product that Friggia delivered to Valensa was seven javelins.

"It will activate automatically as long as it is subjected to a certain amount of impact."

Pointing to the teardrop-shaped structure at one end of the javelin, Fregeia gave a brief explanation:

"The best way to use them is to find a suitable location and stick them in the ground. Then the special pheromone solvent inside them will take effect, activating the self-destruct command that I wrote into the genes of these wild beasts when I created them, causing their genes to collapse... The effective range is more than 15 kilometers in radius, and the duration should be up to 20 years."

"understood."

Valensa carefully placed the seven javelins into her magical cloak, then asked another question:

"Is it sure it works on all wild beasts? Even Moon-level wild beast powerhouses? If I imprison the Great Chieftain of a wild beast in my domain and then activate this, will it be certain to die?"

"Even the physical body of a Moon-level powerhouse cannot withstand genetic collapse... At the very least, the physical body of a wild beast is definitely not an option. I personally crafted them back then, so I know them very well."

Friedeja gave a very confident snort, then thought for a moment and said:

"However, genetic collapse can only destroy the physical body... while some Radiant-rank powerhouses can abandon their physical bodies and survive or even continue fighting in their soul state. Therefore, we cannot place all our hopes on these special pheromone solvents. Other preparations still need to be made."

Furthermore, I don't recommend using this on the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts... at least not within your domain. Your domain is rather unique; the tiny particles from the diffusion of the special pheromone solvent are likely to be absorbed by your domain, weakening or even neutralizing the effect, resulting in a complete waste.

Besides, little sister, you've got some strength now... He's just a chieftain of the wild beasts; if you put in a little more effort and use some tricks, you might be able to defeat him."

"Sister Friggia, you really think highly of me... That's the peak of the Moonshine level, while I'm not even a proper Moonshine level yet."

Valensa gave a wry smile, and after a moment's thought, nodded slightly:

“However… I heard from Prince El that the wild beasts seem to have a way to deal with nuclear attacks now. So, we can’t rely too much on nuclear bombs to exterminate the wild beasts in large numbers. These special pheromone solvents should be used with caution.”

"That's what will worry you, little sister... *yawn*"

Friggia stretched out her limbs and puffed out her chest, giving a big yawn with an air of wanting to pop open the buttons on her chest:

"Sister, my mission is complete. Now I should get back to my own business... These are just some failed experiments I created back then. Destroying them shouldn't be difficult. Sisters, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Friggia winked at Valensa again before turning around and swaying her hips as she walked toward her laboratory, her swaying back view quite alluring.

However, Valensa had already thoroughly enjoyed the Great Witch's charms these past few days, so she was no longer easily tempted by her. Instead, she continued to think about how to fight the upcoming battle to exterminate the wild beasts.

Strike while the iron is hot! The wild beasts are currently at their weakest point in thousands of years, making this the best time to completely eliminate them.

Otherwise, given the wild beasts' exaggerated reproductive capacity, they could recover most of their strength in two years at most, and a battle then would inevitably result in even greater losses.

However, even now, when the wild beasts are at their weakest, it is not easy to completely eliminate them... to be precise, it is very difficult to wipe them out with minimal cost.

After all, the wild beasts are a race that has existed for over 1000 years... Although they send a large number of warriors south to attack Fran every year, they rarely send out their own Radiant-rank experts.

Those who died at the border fortress of Fran were basically cannon fodder from the bottom tier of the wild beasts, whose high-end combat power had been steadily accumulating.

According to current intelligence, even though Valensa killed many of the chieftains of the beast tribes with the strength of the Radiant Rank using nuclear bombs and other methods, and Elena ate more than ten of them, there should still be more than 20 left.

These 20-plus chieftains of the wild beast tribes are all at least Star-level, and one of them is a Grand Chieftain at the peak of Moon-level.

Even if all the other wild beasts were to die, the sheer number of these powerful wild beasts banding together would make them an incredibly tough nut to crack... If it weren't for the seven special pheromone solvents, Valensa wouldn't have been so confident in launching a war of annihilation right now.

. . . . .

"Leave this war to me!"

Upon learning that the special pheromone solvent had been completed, Tia was extremely excited and almost jumped up while communicating with Valensa via magical projection.
