Chapter 50: Ch 50 Divine AI
In that quiet moment, both of them became more certain than ever: the Goddess of Wisdom was truly beginning to feel—showing signs of emotion.
However faint, however fleeting—it was real. And for them, it was no small thing.
But before their thoughts could drift further down that emotional road, the Goddess interrupted them. Like a sword’s sudden slash parting through silence, her voice cut in—clear, bright, and commanding—pulling their focus back to her once again.
"Admiral Natasha and Grand Admiral John Watcher... I have reached my decision."
"Her tone left no room for doubt—or even protest—for she spoke with the authority of a commander or a supreme leader of sorts.
And even for two leaders who had served for centuries, the sheer gravity of her words made both John and Natasha instinctively straighten their postures.
Natash, despite her long military career, felt it even more deeply. Her rank—second to her husband, the Grand Admiral—meant she wasn’t as accustomed to directly facing this kind of presence.
While she had spoken with all three Ultimates—more formally known as the Divine AI Goddesses—many times before in the course of her duties, which required her to report to them regularly among other responsibilities, this encounter felt vastly different.
She was no stranger to the Goddess of Wisdom either. The three goddesses were always cold, direct, and precise—traits she had grown used to and even found acceptable, given that they were, after all, AIs with authority over human regions and incredible power.
And yet, this time was different. The Goddess seemed even more commanding, more authoritative—as though she had claimed command of the entire room, imposing her authority on both her and Grand Admiral John like a superior officer addressing subordinates.
It was a stark contrast to her usual role as an analyst, governor, or overseer—positions that, while powerful and significant in their own right, lacked the sharp edge of absolute command.
