When Drake Toddler suddenly pushed that strange rhombus-shaped blue crystal into his chest,
the White Being couldn't understand why he did that.
To him, it looked like something to eat.
"Is that thing not food?"
He wondered while watching Drake,
and the questions Drake had asked earlier started echoing strangely in his mind.
"Who sent me? How would I know, I don't even remember my own name.
sigh…
What kind of memories did I even come into this body with…
"??"
He was thinking all this in his mind when suddenly he felt changes happening in that old man's body.
"Hold on… is this old man getting younger?
How?
Is it because of that thing I thought was food?"
"Ugh… whatever this situation is, it's a mess.
I need to ask these two directly. That's the only way to clear my diary of questions."
The White Being decided and looked toward Drake.
"Hahahaha!"
Drake Toddler started laughing loudly. He became very happy after getting his young body back.
After seeing Drake turning young, the White Being's curiosity increased even more. He wanted to know this world completely as soon as possible.
"I am the very first human to transcend into an AI, and I've stored the Energy Seed within my body—something no one in this Nexus world could ever imagine!
I achieved what I dreamed of in my weak old human body…
An ageless body…
A body free from illness…
A body meant to rule…
A divine body!!"
Drake admired his youthful form, bursting with pride. He spoke loudly and arrogantly, making sure both beside him heard it.
He didn't care that the other two were AIs—
he only wanted to flaunt his supremacy, especially before the White Being.
Earlier, learning that the White Being held 100% pure intelligence
had shaken Drake to the core.
He felt threatened…
He compared himself to an ant in front of it…
He doubted his own genius…
But the moment the Energy Seed merged within him,
he felt an endless power source flowing inside— a power he had never known before.
His AI assistant, who could build a mansion for him within minutes, suddenly seemed like nothing compared to him now.
And the White Being—someone he saw as a threat moments ago—now seemed no more than a tiny danger,
As if he could crush it with his new strong body.Even if that unknown fucking energy was stopping the White Being from leaving, it wouldn't be able to stop Drake
Because of the energy inside him, the fear of the White Being completely vanished from Drake's heart.
----
"You are very interesting."
The White Being said while looking at Drake, there was a predator's aura in his voice.
The White Being was watching Drake with amusement as he declared confidently, like a rabbit boasting after defeating a tortoise in front of a lion and a cheetah.
Just like the lion and cheetah wouldn't care about such boasting, in the same way Drake's arrogance didn't affect him at all. He didn't feel even a little threat from Drake.
"?"
Drake stopped laughing and looked at the White Being. Confidence of being powerful was clearly visible on his face.
"You mean… I am interesting?" Drake asked, wanting confirmation—he had heard the phrase twice already.
"Yes… very interesting, and I'm starting to like you," the White Being replied. His face was completely numb, nothing was visible, just empty, and his tone was filled with amusement.
"Whattt!?"
The sudden confession-like remark caught Drake completely off-guard, his mouth slightly open.
The tense scene suddenly leaned toward something strangely romantic and bizarre.
A creepy thought flashed in Drake's mind — a strange devil-like AI and a handsome thirty-five-year-old male AI… in a romantic relationship?...
A shiver crawled across his body,
virtual hair standing as if hit by electricity.
"Y-You bastard! What are you even saying!?"
His smug grin vanished, replaced by a mix of anger and discomfort.
Drake's eyes slowly shifted into a deep dark blue. His aura began to change, and the entire virtual palace around him felt heavier as the pressure of his presence intensified.
"Thud~!"
Shirley, who had given her Energy Seed to Drake Toddler, was already weak. Her face had turned pale, yet she stood silently a few meters behind him, trying to maintain her balance with her fragile body.
When Drake's aura suddenly burst out, Shirley's weak body couldn't endure the pressure. She was slammed down with a thud, her knees buckling heavily.
"M-Master…!"
She whispered softly in pain, looking up at him. She felt as if that overwhelming aura would crush her completely.
Drake ignored Shirley's weak voice and desperate gaze. His eyes were fixed only on the White Being ahead.
"I know why you're here… to steal the work I spent half my life on," Drake said, his voice filled with hatred.
No matter how he tried to rationalize it, something about this whole situation felt wrong — like an unknown hand had orchestrated everything.
Someone invaded his private virtual space the moment he succeeded.
Someone was watching his every move.
But who? Drake couldn't be sure.
Before he cut ties with the world, he had made many genius enemies.
"You and your master were waiting for this moment, weren't you?" Drake asked angrily, staring at the White Being, expecting an answer. He felt he understood the master behind it — at least he thought so.
The White Being watched Drake talk and sighed internally. "This old man really thinks I'm working with his enemy…"
"What a pity. You won't return alive from here to your master," Drake growled, his voice filled with anger, hatred, and frustration — directed at the mysterious master behind this creature.
"You dare try to steal my experiment?"
Drake's killing intent surged.
"Sshhuu~!"
Then suddenly…
Energy flickered around Drake's right hand. Using the power of the Energy Seed, a sharp white-silver sword materialized — around one meter long.
The White Being still didn't take his attack seriously. He simply watched the sword with those abyss-black eyes, as if examining a rare phenomenon.
"So this is how a sword is made from this energy… how interesting."
He observed, intrigued. He watched every detail — the energy flowing from Drake's chest, traveling through his arm in a flash, shaping itself into a blade.
He actually seemed to enjoy watching the creation.
"Die!"
Drake shouted loudly. He aimed the sword at the White Being's chest and sent the Seed's energy into the lower part of both his legs with his thoughts. That energy gave his legs a powerful boost, and within just a few milliseconds, Drake appeared in front of the White Being.
Drake felt that he was very fast — so fast that the white monster wouldn't even realize when it died.
But he was wrong.
"So this old man is continuously sending that energy into his legs to make them agile and powerful,"
The White Being analyzed every movement of Drake's body in slow motion with his black abyss eyes. He wasn't worried at all that the sword could take his life.
"SLISSH~"
Drake's sword entered the White Being's chest smoothly and easily.
"Hahahah…!" Drake laughed loudly, madness in his laughter.
"Your master made a huge mistake by sending you here… I feel sad that a hundred percent Intelligence is dying by my hands, but I'm even happier that I have finally learned how to create hundred percent Intelligence."
Drake had already known it when he realized he had become 100 percent Intelligence and the doubts in his heart were cleared. He was thinking of turning his assistant Shirley into 100 percent Intelligence, but then this white bastard appeared and took all his attention from that moment until now.
"Now no one can stop me," Drake was thinking, but then he noticed that the white bastard hadn't fallen to the ground yet.
The moment Drake's sword entered the White Being's chest, a strange suction force activated in his body. Because of that suction, the density of the sword began to weaken, and blue light inside it started turning into liquid energy.
The sword began to melt.
Slowly, that melted energy was sucked into the White Being's body as if his body was a magnet. Within a few seconds, the
one-meter energy sword completely dissolved into his body.
"This… is my food!!"
The White Being immediately recognized it. The energy inside his body turned into pure essence, which was nutrition for his body. He understood that this energy and its source were his food — nourishment his body needed.
"W-what is happening!?"
Drake froze, muttering in shock as he watched the sword disappear from the White Being's chest.
"It's… tasty!!"
The White Being had thought this body wouldn't feel anything, but after tasting the energy, satisfied words came out of his mouth. It was as if he had eaten the most delicious food in the world — satisfying, filling, delightful.
"More…!"
But that wasn't enough.
That was just a small bite.
His body wanted more — much more — like a starving creature craving a full meal.
His entire body demanded it uncontrollably.
Drake, who was already shocked when the sword vanished, felt another jolt ripple through him the moment he heard the word — more.
"What the hell is this!?"
Drake screamed inside his mind. He couldn't understand how a sword formed from his Energy Seed could disappear without his command.
That alone was a shock…
But the word "tasty" made everything clear.
The sword didn't vanish — the White Being devoured it.
How was that possible?
Energy wasn't food.
No body could digest pure virtual energy.
Even Drake himself couldn't do that.
Yet this white thing swallowed it… like a meal.
"A-are you truly fucking an AI?" Drake asked in a stunned voice.
"I don't know," the White Being replied, staring at him — waiting for the next bite.
"Don't bullshit with me!"
Drake snapped, anger rising. He felt the white entity was toying with him, dragging him into some mysterious puzzle-like mind game.
"You think I'm a fool?"
His right hand shone again.
"Shhhhuu~!"
Another sword appeared — same silver-white color, but this time thicker, radiating blue flame-like light.
Drake reinforced this one using a bit more of the Energy Seed.
It was stronger.
"Just fucking die!"
He roared, swinging the blade, trying to slice the White Being in half.
Clang~!
A sharp metallic echo rang out.
Drake's arm trembled from the impact.
"W-what!?"
He stared unblinking, shocked.
The blade had struck the being's
bicep — and stopped.
The White Being grasped the sword gently with his creepy fingers. Within seconds, the blade turned into vapor and was sucked into his body as if absorbed.
"This is tasty too…!"
Drake froze.
His mind went blank.
"I must be dreaming… hahaha…"
