Chapter 92 Consume
"Eat Systems?" I asked in confusion, and Sofia nodded, looking at Firaga, whose face she was still holding.
"Yes, the Systems crystalize the body, but the systems are still in the Systeminium. That is the name I gave the metal since there are no matches to our periodic charts. I changed her to be able to extract the Systems out of the body and store them, but she can't use them. I also improved her combat abilities now that she is on our side," Sofia explained.
"Well, that is interesting, and the name is fitting, considering. I will take her down there, and we can see what happens. I really don't know too much about what she can do with her System yet, so I am pretty interested," I explained, standing up.
I kissed Melody and the other three girls before turning to Firaga. She was standing, looking more than ready to get going.
"We will start working on other things while you two are down there. I will start getting the animals you transformed ready to protect and clear the streets. I know that you already have some doing it, but I have more control than you do," Melody explained, and I nodded.
"That is a good idea, but what are you two going to do? I know Sofia will be busy, but what about Marley and Amy? What are you two up to?" I asked.
"I am going to go offline here and go back to start working on making some special outfits for the girls and you. I think it will be easier to figure it out there, and then I will be able to come back and make them here," Amy explained.
"I am going to head back and see if we can start getting people that are skilled at fighting together. If I can find some good people, I will send them over, and you can give them the upgrade. I think that we should have people back in our city, just in case they try to attack us directly. I don't think they will since they should think that this one is the main city," Marley explained, and I nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you are right about that, and it is a good idea to get moving with everything. Once you have a group, send them over immediately, and then you can do the same here. My assumptions about our enemy are just that, so we should be prepared for anything," I explained, and all the girls nodded except for Sofia; she was already gone.
Amy and Marley both nodded, and then they froze, leaving their bodies standing and frozen in place. Neither of the three girls looked sturdy, so I sent commands for them to sit down, and the girls' bodies did just that.
"Looks like they were too excited to think about that part," I chuckled and leaned down to kiss Gaia before scooping up Firaga.
"I will go get working on the signal now. I will talk to you all later. Thank you for having a talk with me, Firaga," Gaia said and then sank down into the tree, disappearing.
"Enjoy your time; I will come to see you later," Melody said, and then she flew off the side and down the tree.
She still seemed a bit upset with everything that had just happened, so I would definitely be making more time for her later. Whether Firaga was a good thing or not for us wasn't really that important to me; Melody was.
"You seem to care about her more than the others," Firaga said as I watched Melody go, and I nodded.
"I won't deny that. She was the first one I loved and the one I had chosen, but I was forced to date two other women you have not met yet if I wanted her," I explained, and Firaga nodded.
"Do you not love the rest of the girls then?" Firaga asked, making me look down at her with a slight frown.
"I love each of the other girls, and I am learning to love the other more new ones. I just need more time with some of them since they are all so different," I explained as I walked over the edge of the tree.
"Does that mean you will try to love me as well?" Firaga asked, and I nodded.
"Yes, you are the last girl I will accept at my side, but there is no pressure. I would like to get to know you first and spend some time with you. Those are the only ways that I know," I said.
"Interesting. I can see how it makes other girls smile, and I had wondered how it worked. I don't smile because I don't care about anything but metal, but even that doesn't make me smile. I don't understand the emotion," Firaga said, and I shrugged.
"You just have to find something that you enjoy, and then do that thing. Smiling is your response to the excitement of that thing. The girls smile when I kiss them, but that is because they enjoy the feel of it and the other emotions and feelings that come with the action. We can talk more down below," I explained and jumped off the tree's side.
The two of us plummeted fast, not really giving either of us a chance to speak. I lifted Firaga quickly, but that was only because I was so strong now; she weighed about as much as you would expect a body made of steel to weigh.
The roots tried to slow us, but we still crashed into the ground at high speed, kicking up dust clouds. The roots whirled around us, blowing all the dust away, and we could clearly see the massive body in front of us.
I placed Firaga down on the ground, and she turned back to me with a questioning look.
"Can I go consume now?" Firaga asked, and I nodded.
"Sure, but after, can you show me some of the things you are capable of with your System?" I asked, and Firaga nodded.
"Yes, after doing this thing, I should gain some special growth bonus. I will show you what I can do after that," Firaga told me and turned to walk over the massive metal body.
I created a lawn chair that reclined and sat down to watch. I wasn't sure what would happen, but I was sure it would be interesting.
Firaga walked over to the metal, and her body started to glow, slowly turning to dark red and then to the point where she was almost white. The glowing form touched the gigantic body, but nothing happened at first.
I started to worry that she might not be able to consume the Villain, but then I started to see a change in the metal Villain. The body started to get smooth, and slowly, it all melted into a single blob.
Then Firaga started to suck the metal into her body, and I watched as the steel was slowly consumed by the systeminium. It was fascinating to watch; soon, all the metal was gone, leaving Firaga looking shiny and brand new.
I got out of my chair and clapped for her.
"Great job! Now let me see what you can do!" I called.
"Would you like to have a quick fight? That would be the best way to gauge my strength, would it not?" Firaga called back over, and I nodded with a grin.
"Sure, come at me with everything you have got!" I called, reaching my hands out to the side.
Firaga started to run at me, reaching her own hands out to the side, and we both created swords in each of our hands. I increased my size to about ten feet tall, but Firaga did the same, coming as me with a side slash that I deflected.
A large chunk burned out of my blade, but Firaga didn't slow down, slashing me in a hail of strikes. I was forced to use roots to defend from her, summoning Marley's dual short swords in wooden hands.
For a moment, we seemed evenly matched, but then her swords started to glow. I was forced back as all four of my weapons had been broken, and I put up my hands, making Firaga stop.
We could have kept going, but I didn't want either of us wasting too much energy right now. Even with the warning systems we had in place, we needed to be in form for when the Villain AI attacked.
"Very good, but it felt like you were holding back, right?" I asked, and Firaga nodded.
"The same reason that you did not use your full strength. There will be Villains coming soon, right?" Firaga asked, and I nodded.
"I am glad you are on the same page as me, but I have a rough idea of what you are capable of now. Did you end up getting the System from the systeminium?" I asked, and Firaga nodded.
"Yes, but like Sofia said, I have no access to it right now. I can see that it is stored as the Chimera System. The only way for us to get it out of me is for you to have sex with me, right?" Firaga asked, and I shrugged.
"Possibly, but there is no guarantee. There is also no rush for you to have sex with me, or at all if you don't want to. I don't expect you to do anything that you don't want to," I explained to Firaga, and she nodded.
