V.51 Fate VII
Arc and his group marched inside the sanctuary and despite the blunder they made, this mission is very important, so he just put those thoughts in the back of his head, for he needs to concentrate on the things in front of him.
He knows that despite the current situations and that they have a huge advantage at the moment, he knows that anytime something unexpected may happen that can reverse the situations.
Specter and Eve along with 30,000 droids are already inside the sanctuary but with the size of the sanctuary 30,000 may not be enough to cover all areas.
No matter how much he looks at the tower they called sanctuary he was amazed at how this building was able to stand at all, and with the current technology of human, this kind of structures is almost impossible to build at least not practical at all as the foundation needed to build this kind of structures would occupy almost half of the inside of the tower, and yet not only this structure is almost hallowed inside it can even withstand a bombardment of 20-30,000 Chaos Blast, not only that this tower can even fly. And that's why he was so eager to learn the technology of this world, he even plans to stay for a while after he completed his mission just to learn everything this world can offer.
Eve's physical body remains beside him, and she continues to give a report on what is happening inside.
Apparently, the number of HOC inside the tower is also quite huge and the first droids are already engaged in fighting the HOC members. He himself is surrounded by another thousand droids that he summoned. And these droids are all under him. Meaning Eve and Specter are not controlling it.
The draw bridge is about a few hundred meters long and also quite wide, that a thousand droids can easily pass through it without a problem.
It took him a few minutes to reach the entrance to the sanctuary, up close he can see that each individual brick of the tower is inscribed with some sort of runes. He can only imagine the work needed to build this kind of tower that is several kilometers big.
The gate itself is big enough that several Mechs can enter side by side with room to spare. Several questions are already forming inside his mind, just what kind of being needed this kind of humongous gate? This was definitely not built with humans in mind. ~A dragon maybe?~ He said in his mind.
And although he was observing his surroundings his steps never slows down, the same for his party. After all, they are all in the same boat to them this is all new, and everything they see is new to them. But despite the curiosity, they have, none of them slows down to sate their curiosity, as they enter they found out that the tower acts just like a storage ring, Arc being sensitive to any energy can feel the changes the moment they entered the tower. Normal people may not be able to tell but he and his party can.
And that makes them extra vigilant. After all, they are now entering the enemy's home ground, Lilly is a good example of that if Lilly wanted to kill them the moment they entered Adams house, she may very well succeed. As everything inside the house is under her control.
"Boss this tower is like me," said Lilly who is keeping quiet all this time on Jem's shoulder.
When Arc heard it he wasn't surprised as he already has that kind of idea in his mind, but He stops as soon as he heard Lilly.
"Lilly, can you feel the spirit of the tower?" Arc questioned.
Lilly closed her eyes. She looks like she was communicating or searching the spirit of the tower.
None of them interrupted her, all of them stop just a few meters after entering the tower. They can hear the sounds of fighting not so far away. But the front entrance is quite safe and empty after all 30,000 droids just pass through here clearing every danger along the way, Specter and Eve are making sure it is safe for their Boss to pass through.
It didn't take long Lilly opened her eyes and look at Arc.
"Boss, this tower is stil a child, and she was under the people who manage the tower," said Lilly with a cute voice she was now flying around Arc like a playful fairy she is.
"A child?" He understands the second part but the child part he doesn't quite understand, he looks at the tower, and he can tell this tower is very old.
"Wait Lilly did you mean the spirit was just recently been born?" Ask Arc looking a little confused. As the word child could mean several things.

Lilly looks at Arc, with a question mark on her head. She doesn't quite understand what her boss is asking her.
But despite that, she still answered, "Um Boss Babel is older than me but was still a child"
That answers confuse Arc, even more, he was about to ask once again when he heard Nine voice.
"A spirit age is not counted by years but by how much knowledge it has. Lilly is the best example of that, in terms of years Lilly is the youngest between me and this tower, but in terms of knowledge, she has more than us, and therefore she is considered older than us."
This explanation surprised Arc for one this is the first time He heard Nine explains things in detail. Normally she just keeps quiet unless it is necessary for her to speak. And another thing he always thinks Nine is just another interface or AI like Eve. AI and Spirit are very different despite the similarity of their functions.
And before he can ask again Nine continues, My memory was erased when my first master died. And only core knowledge remains. Nine explains. After that, she no longer speaks.
In a way, Arc understands it after all Adam already explains it somewhat before, It was no wonder Nine sounds like a low-level AI when he first receives the System. But after the upgrades, she sounded much better. That means with every upgrades her knowledge increases as well and in turn, making her more mature.
He now gets it, what Lilly meant by this tower or this Babel being a child. He then looks at Lilly, and he saw her dancing around him like a child.
~This fairy is a.d.u.l.t? No way!~
