Kapitel 67: Chapter 64
I woke up. The same place as I fell asleep. The living room of my parents's house. I thought a lot of time had passed but it's just dawn.
Just a few more minutes and it'll be daybreak. But I was in that dream for so long. Now then, I should go outside.
I go outside and look up at the sky. The moon is still visible but it's fading. I can see a white line in the horizon.
My eyesight is much better than before. So I can see the sea from my town. That's a pretty big deal.
But I have even seen the Jupiter from moon which is millions of kilometers away. Seeing the sea which is barely 5000 kilometers away is no big deal.
Now, what should I do? I can annihilate my enemy in a single shot. I don't even need them to be here. And I think they have stepped out of their warp.
But as System said, I don't use my weapons often so let's bring them out.
"Aegis.." I call my staff. It originally was a staff which became a pendant around my neck and my gun which is merged with my hand.
Aegis appeared, slightly changed. It was a black stick before but now it has different inscriptions carved on it. The color is brighter.
Like bronze. My gun has not changed in appearance and I don't feel anything outside of the ordinary.
Before, I would notice it right away but I didn't even feel it appearing. It was just there.
"How about we shoot a test shot?"
(Yes.)
Uhh…..wait, someone said yes? Is that you, spirit gun?
(Yes. That is me. I have gained sentience because of your overwhelming <Spirit>.)
I see. So this is what she meant when she said that you are alive. Glad to have you…what should I call you?
(Give me a name, master.)
Again…giving names really isn't my strong suite but I will try.
Let's see….Aera. How do you like it?
(I like the name.)
So Aera it is. But are you a male or a female?
(Our Kind doesn't have the notion of gender but due to your influence, I have become a female. After absorbing a little more of your <Spirit> I will gain my own human body.)
So you already have that much sentience. You really did grow up quickly. But how old are you mentally?
(About 8 years.)
Only 8 years and you are this mature!
(We are weapons so we mature quickly. Because we are almost immortal.)
That's good then. Then how about Aegis?
(She will also gain sentience. However, it will still take some time. We were created by the same person so we are sisters. Unlike me who just became a female, she was created as a female. I hope you would treat us sisters well.)
I will. But I stole you two from a ship. So I am not your rightful owner.
(It might be work of fate but we both found the perfect match for us. So do not worry about stealing us. Besides, if you were not suitable for us, we would have left you a long time ago.)
So many new things. But it's not bad. This pushed me one step further to my goals.
A very welcome development. I thank System in my mind.
Now, I have gotten tired of waiting for him to come. I'll bring the fight to him.
"What is your range? I mean, how far can you shoot with full power?"
(I use light based bullets and your <Spirit>. If it's the current you, then the range is infinite and at the speed of light. But you can fire about 100 shots of those.)
So to sum it up, I can fire a hundred infinite light speed bullets. That's cool. But what about the destructive power? How devastating can those bullets be?
(There is no standard criteria. But it should be easier to understand like this. One bullet can easily destroy this town.)
So it's quite powerful. I thank you. Now then, where should I fire?
"You can use enemy detection, right?"
(Yes. I am detecting an enemy approaching us. Estimated time of arrival is about 2 days.)
"Still two days! I can't wait. Aim for them."
And my gun changed its shape. It turned into a super modern cannon and it has a lot of stabilizers on the ground.
I leave that to your imagination to visualize it. But it is looking like an antimatter cannon.
(Aim set master. It will take about a minute to hit them at full speed.)
"A minute? That's way too long. Let's link."
(Understood master. Initiating neural link.)
And my vision became pitch black. I didn't close my eyes but I think I should.
I felt the vastness of space again. I can see the black space with stars in it. And I can see ships. Just like the one that attacked us. This fleet is moving towards earth.
I look at earth too but it's too far away. So they are still quite the distance away.
"Put half of my <Spirit> into one shot. I'll open a warp. So shoot the bullet through the warp."
(Understood master. Now loading.)
I felt heavy. My body just lost half of its power. This isn't a nice feeling however, I still have my other half.
I open a warp to the back of the ship.
(Loading complete. Ready to fire!)
"Shoot."
I gave the order. And I can see a big ball of light, big enough to engulf the whole fleet coming out of the warp.
And it silently and completely swallowed the fleet. Then it just vanished.
The fleet of ships which should be strong enough to destroy a civilization, gone. In a matter of seconds, it was gone.
"Status check. Any survivors?"
(No, master. The enemy is completely annihilated.)
(The conditions have been met. You have slain 10000 people at once. You have become the 'Harbinger of Death'. This title allows you to bring death upon any being. You can grant them the blessing of death.)
It wasn't the gun. It was System. But that title does not sound too good.
(What? You don't like it. I think it's a nice title.)
"Why are all my powers and titles related to death?"
(Because you have the aptitude for death. You are best suited towards reaping rather than creating. So I granted you those. Besides, your body feels light, right?)
Now that she mentions it, I don't feel sluggish.
(Your <Spirit> was replenished. So continue the good work.)
I cancel the link and return to my body. Well, I was basically one with the gun so I returned to my body.
"Aera, nice to have you onboard."
(Yes master. I will return to standby mode now. If you need me, then just call my name.)
And she disappeared from my hand.
I have good luck. I think I should admit it. Now then, let's go back. I guess they are up by now.

Gregor_americana This is finally reaching an end. The first arc which to be honest, stretched a lot but it’s almost over. This chapter is a jumble of different science fiction tropes. So I hope I can do better with magical stuff. Another chapter and the first arc will be finally over.
