The woman who spoke was a stunning beauty. She had long, silky silver-blue hair that flowed effortlessly behind her. Her eyes were a dreamy blend of white and blue. Her lips were a perfect rose-red—not too bright, not too dull. She had a youthful, face, though there was a hint of maturity beneath it.
Her figure was breathtaking, with refined hips and a perky behind. Her chest was modest but perfectly proportioned. She wore a black jacket and spaced trousers that weren't too tight, yet not too loose—just enough to accentuate her shape.
"Why? You guys don't want me here?" she replied with a small smile that seemed to brighten to dull room. If any of the Overlords were present, they'd wonder where this version of the Queenie had stashed their cold, emotionless leader. Experience tales at мѵʟ
The same cold woman was now smiling warmly as she hugged Lucil, who seemed to forget everything and just melted into her embrace.
"How are you guys?" Queenie asked, glancing at the three nerds, who were staring back at her with smiles on their faces.
They responded with a nod, clearly too happy—or too enchanted by her beauty—to form any words. She is just too beautiful. If not exaggerating it, one could say she is like an immortal sent down to the mortal realm.
"You guys still there, right?" Klaus suddenly chimed in from inside the Oracle, snapping them back to reality. He hadn't heard anything from them so he asked especially since he was using their questions as reference.
"Big Sister, this is Klaus Hanson—the young prodigy shaking up the world. He's helping us fix Oracle, which these idiots couldn't manage for decades," Lucil said, holding onto Queenie's arm as she led her closer to the screen.
"Lucil, how many times have I told you not to use such vulgar words? You're a lady," Queenie scolded, tugging Lucil's ear.
"Sorry, Big Sister, I'll behave from now on," Lucil replied with a guilty grin.
"I think I'll keep you away from Nari for a few years. She's influencing you in all the wrong ways," Queenie sighed, turning her focus back to Klaus, who was still controlling the Needles.
A flicker of emotion crossed her eyes, but none of the four people in the room noticed.
"He is awesome, right, big sister?" Lucil asks nudging Queenie slightly.
Queenie smiled slightly before responding. "Don't worry about that. I should be the one thanking you for wiping out those insects. But you should really prioritize your life next time. I'm sure people are waiting for you back home, hoping you'll always come back alive," she said, a small smile playing on her lips.
Klaus smiled back, but his heart was beating like crazy. The woman before him was just too stunning and enchanting.
"I will keep that in mind." Nevertheless, Klaus was not one to easily fall under charms. He was able to respond and even returned a smile.
"Good! Well, you guys should get back to your work. I will be on the roof; we can catch up when you are done here," Queenie said before walking out of the room. Klaus watched her leave with mixed feelings about something, but he didn't get the chance to ponder them before Lucil's voice entered his head.
"Klaus, what do you think? Big Sister is beautiful, right?" Klaus wanted to smack the back of her head when she asked that question, but he just smiled and responded.
"Very beautiful." He knew for a fact Queenie would be listening in on their conversation, so he responded without holding back. So what if she was the Overlord? When had he ever shied away from talking with ladies?
As expected, now sitting on the roof, Queenie smiled slightly before taking out her phone and opening the Controversial News channel to watch the latest gossip in the world.
Klaus and the nerds, alongside Lucil, started recapping their first day of testing. Klaus knew he had to work faster so he could focus on his modeling project.
After an hour of back and forth, they came up with what needed fixing. The first was to make the monsters hyper-aware of their surroundings. This would fix the delay in attacking and pinpointing their targets.
The second was working on the instinctual processing or adaptability of the monsters. This would help them adapt as if they were thinking hyperrealistically. This would make them act more like real-life monsters than programmed creatures acting on a pattern.
With Lucil's help, Klaus came up with a design for the zombie or the fighter they would be using as Klaus's opponent to capture data on the instinct and adaptability traits they wanted to create.
In the end, the white-haired youngster and the overly cheerful Lucil developed a fighter model that Klaus knew would sharpen his battle instincts and sword skills for the next four weeks.
They created a battle monster—something Klaus would have fun with for the next few weeks.
