Magic God: Techno-Dystopia

Operation:<success>

While glancing directly through the window, no conversation between the two took place for a brief while, the vehicle had already activated its camouflage, so they couldn't be recognised any longer.

"So... where are you from, Morpheus?" Without taking her face away from the 'path', Null asked, perhaps only wanting to get rid of the silence.

Is it awkward for her? who knows.

"I'm from lands you won't ever be able to reach..." He spoke mightily, turning his gaze to the beauty that is now clad in black slick armour with purple neons, just like the first time they met.

"... from space?" rolling her eyes at the way he spoke, she tried to deduce his existence, there are too many mysteries around him, if she can at least have him utter something useful out of those lips, that's a win.

"Something like that..." As far as Morpheus is concerned, those questions lack importance, his origins are no longer relevant, there is a chance he's not going there anymore.

'But If I regain my divinity in this world, I might be able to craft a tunnel to go back, however... do I want to go back?'

That's a question he'd ask himself later.

"But humanity has already moved from this planet and into space, Morpheus? unless you're from... farther away." A sidelong glance denoted her curiosity, her intentions to know more...

"..." But the God didn't intend to continue in this trend.

"Then how about I ask something else?"

"Go ahead..." She can ask as much as she wants, whether he's going to answer or not, that's something else.

"Do you have a woman?"

"..."

"What? you can't answer this either?"

"Even if there wasn't... are you proposing yourself to fill the gap?" He lifted up an eyebrow and threw her a gaze filled with anticipation, what is this 'soulless' entity going to answer?

...

All he received from her was an evasive gaze and... a blush?

Null pursued her lips and regained her stoic gaze soon after.

"No... I'm just asking because if you run into someone, that person might become your weakness later on... this is not a kind world and once you give out the slightest flaw, the slightest vulnerability, there is always someone... or something ready to take advantage of it, but... If I was your woman, that might not be the case..." When she said those words, her eyes locked onto his and she stopped paying attention to the front.

"And why wouldn't you be my weakness, Null?" He asked yet another question, not shying away from her piercing yet inquisitive glare, he could even perceive how the 'glass' within her eye shifted slightly.

After 'moistening' her lips a little, she answered his enquiry. "Because if I was your woman, I'd support you... I have the means to take care of myself from any threat... I have done so far and I will continue to do it... moreover, I'm non-disposable."

"Aha?~ And what is that supposed to mean?" That's quite the interesting adjective she utilized there.

"It means that if we're together... even if I die... even if you get tired of me, I'll still come back to you, that's why... when you get yourself a partner make sure she's like me, Morpheus... I'm better than Hana in that regard." after adding such a curious adjective and the ending of this sentence, she still didn't set her gaze apart from his.

"Why would you suddenly mention her?"

"Who knows? we're talking about your love life."

"How did we suddenly end up talking about my love life?" He laughed in amusement, this girl can be funny at times.

"It interests me... this topic... especially if it is related to you, Mr God" She added, her gaze seemed to regain a more prominent lustre the more they conversed.

"Why? so that you can learn more about it and enhance your output to these situations?~" The Magic God stopped beating around the bush, he didn't utter it straight away, but with this much... she should realise.

!!!

Upon hearing those words he noticed her visage twist into a somehow downcast one.

"Perhaps... how did you know?"

"I have my means..."

"Does it change our partnership?"

"Do I look like I'm not having fun?"

"I don't know, I can't read your mind... humans are particularly excellent at concealing their feelings and showing off a facade."

"Aren't you also?"

"No... you wouldn't understand... you seem to be some sort of genius when it comes to many things, but when it comes to technology... even a grandma is more advanced than you." She giggled and he noticed how they were now approaching something in the navigator.

"I'm told that often... by a grandma." He sighed, it doesn't matter, he's getting close to comprehending the secrets behind 'technology' and the art of 'IT'.

"Touché" She giggled yet again, perhaps a little too relaxed at this environment, yes.

'Such a comfortable... feeling.'

Knowing what's going to take place soon... this is a rather comforting moment for her.

"What is that?" In the interface in front of her, he could see a flashing dot that's right in the front, but there is nothing there.

As of now, he has used a 1st Tier spell and a 2nd Tier spell... although his divinity is recovering it is not prudent to use magic for every single nimiety.

The Magic God sighed once again, it had been so long since he had to limit his magic output, gone are the days where he could sit on his heavenly throne and alter reality through eternity without getting spent.

Those days were gone, but... days filled with amusement and interesting discoveries are ahead... was it worth it? he would know shortly.

...

"That's our first destination." She uttered softly as the vehicle came to a sudden stop when it reached the checkpoint.

He frowned, his senses felt sudden oppression, as if he was being encased somewhere and unconsciously he guarded up, only for Null to grasp his hand softly and shake her head.

"Trust me..."

"Why would I...?"

"You wouldn't but... trust me." He has no reason to trust them, they're completely foreign individuals to one another, but... she wants him to.

Suddenly, he felt as the vehicle 'landed' somewhere even as they were amidst the 'cloudy skies'.

*RUMBLE*

The illusion shattered and gave place to what resembles a storage room, little by little the hexagon-like shapes released the camouflage and he realised that all along they had already landed in this 'thing'.

"This is one of V2's cargo ships, we're going to meet the team that's going to accompany us into the reactor, I'll give you a briefing."

The duo left the vehicle and she guided him through several neon corridors.

'Always the damn neon...'

"There is a geo-kinetic energy reactor in Brighton, the entrance is located there, covered by a special plasma barrier... we obtained the codes to enter the barrier... but the reactor is all the way into the English Channel... we're going to assault it. You wanted to see what's killing this world, right? you're going to see it now." She gave a brief summary of what the operation is going to be like.

"And why do you want to destroy this reactor, Null?"

"... because it's killing the planet, right?"

"And why didn't you do it before?" He wouldn't let this matter rest, with such an important matter, the simplest of actions could bring unprecedented consequences, and while lacking so much information he needed to attain as much as necessary before executing any reckless action.

"We didn't have you before, Morpheus... this isn't going to be an easy operation... even V2 might not be enough to complete something of this scale, in this planet... there are three places that are the most secure and almost impossible to penetrate, if they were compromised it could endanger the integrity of society as a whole... The geo-kinetic reactors, the VRworld's servers... and lastly... the Dyson Sphere high above... on the sun."

'There is another one... but he doesn't need to know, V2|N'

'I know...'

"Very well... and what am I supposed to do?"

"Assist us while using that magic of yours." She uttered the m-word mockingly, what else could she call those miracles if not magic?

"..." He let it pass.

*WOOSH*

As they entered a particular room, he saw dozens of 'individuals'... each one of them with a big gun in hand, different kinds of guns.

Snipers, assault riffles, claws... so on and so forth.

"This is the platoon that's going to support us, once we reach there, we're going to hack the barrier to get inside, there is going to be retaliation, heavy retaliation... even 'they' might come the moment that we enter, we'd probably have a gap of between twenty minutes and half an hour to do what we're going to do, we have a bomb, we only have to plant it and leave..." She said while looking at the hologram in the front of the room, all of those soldiers looked like machines.

Perhaps they are.

"Who are they?" God obviously refers to 'them'... why is this woman always so cryptic? if only she was as straightforward as she's sexy...

'What am I thinking...?' he shook his head at the thought, for some reason Sarah resurfaced within his mind, shocking him even further.

"The corporation's elite... the team that has the best enhancements, the best technology in the world, their job is to protect the facilities I told you about, but not only that, a lot more... they don't involve themselves with casual matters... terrorism, revolutionaries, hacking, bank robberies, mafias... all of those don't have anything to do with them, but what we're doing is their top priority... their name is <Blitzkrieg>"
