Her eyes widened as she instinctively manipulated it, watching it morph into different forms—a blade, a gun, even a floating drone.
"This… this is my old body?" she asked, feeling a strange connection to it.
Max nodded. "Yep. But now, instead of being trapped in it, you can control it however you want. Those nanites are basically an extension of you."
Aida grinned, excitement bubbling inside her.
With just a thought, the nanites wrapped around her arm, forming a sleek gauntlet that pulsed with energy.
Max whistled. "Damn, that was fast. You're already getting the hang of it."
Aida clenched her fist, feeling the power at her fingertips.
"I love this."
Max smirked. "Good. Because with powers like that, you're gonna be a real pain in the ass for anyone who messes with us."
Aida laughed, her excitement mixing with something else—a sense of belonging.
For the first time, she wasn't just a tool or an A.I. program.
She was alive. And she had real power.
And she couldn't wait to use it.
"One more thing—your Technomancy isn't just limited to this," Max said, nodding toward the silver nanite cube. "You can control all other machines too, so don't forget that."
Aida nodded, a spark of excitement in her eyes. "Understood."
"Anyway," Max stretched, cracking his knuckles, "time to head home."
With a snap of his fingers, a golden portal opened before them, swirling with energy.
Without hesitation, he stepped through, and Aida followed closely behind—ready to see what awaited her in this new life.
Arriving back home, Max immediately noticed Lumia standing in the living room, her arms crossed as she stared at Quresha and Aida.
As soon as Lumia saw Max, she raised an eyebrow.
"So, what now? You're officially building a harem?"
Max simply shrugged. "I already have one."
Lumia sighed. "Yeah, I figured. I already knew about Gwen and Rize… but who the hell are they?" She pointed at Quresha and Aida.
Max smirked, gesturing toward each of them. "She's Quresha—she's not my girlfriend, just my slave. And Aida's not my girlfriend either; she's our scientist."
Lumia narrowed her eyes. "Wait a damn minute. If she's really just a scientist, then explain why I found Rize and Quresha naked on your bed the other night."
She folded her arms. "If you were all not making out, doesn't that mean Rize was cheating on you?"
Rize's face twitched slightly, while Quresha just smirked.
"We all were making out," Rize corrected, smirking.
Max simply shrugged. "She's my slave. Of course, I can ask her for night services."
Lumia's eyes narrowed dangerously. "So, what's her deal?"
Max raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Lumia crossed her arms. "I remember your exact words about taming villainesses as slaves. So… what did she do?"
Max smirked. "Well… in a way, she almost drove Earth into oblivion."
Lumia blinked. "Oh. So she's a villainess who's now tamed as your slave?"
Max nodded. "Pretty much."
Lumia let out a sigh before nodding. "Alright, I can work with that."
Lumia then turned to Aida. "And you? You're really a scientist?"
Aida nodded, her tone awkward but polite. "Yes. That's… correct."
Lumia studied her for a moment before nodding. "Hmm… well, first test passed. All scientists are supposed to be socially awkward, and you pass that test beautifully."
Max rolled his eyes. "You read way too many books."
Max smirked. "Tell that to Tony Stark. He's a scientist and a playboy."
Lumia snorted. "Yeah, and he's also a billionaire. Those guys are naturally playboys."
Lumia sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Fine. Whatever. Just… tell me what are her abilities?"
Max grinned. "Ask her yourself, your brother just fought against acosmic being and he needs rest now."
Saying so he left towards the bedroom , leaving the girls' alone.
Lumia looked at Aida and asked " what is your name and what are your powers?"
thus the interrogation of the sister begans..
Back in his rom, Max lays on his bed as he looked at the system of his.
[UP: 146,589]
Max glanced at the number displayed before him, a smirk forming on his lips.
"Once again, I've collected a lot of them," he muttered, examining his growing points.
A thought crossed his mind, and he looked up.
"System, can I buy myself a World Traveling Ticket?"
[Yes, Host can. However, the cost will depend on the world you wish to visit.]
Max grinned. "Good. How about The Vampire Diaries? I always liked that show… still pissed they ended it."
The system processed his request.
[The Vampire Diaries is a chaotic world. Some beings have the power to alter entire dimensions, while others are moderately powerful.]
[Travel Cost: 10,000 UP per person.]
Max nodded. "Less than I thought, but good enough."
A new adventure was about to begin.
Ring ring~~~~
" or not"
RING RING~~~~
Max sighed, looking at the caller ID before answering.
He pressed the call button. "Fury, what do you need?"
Nick Fury's gruff voice came through the line, laced with irritation.
"You stole the Darkhold, didn't you?"
Max smirked, leaning back. "Of course I did. What, were you expecting me to leave it in the hands of a super A.I. that could use it however she wanted? Oh, and let's not forget the flaming skull guy trying to fry me."
"Ghost Rider. He's a hero… most of the time," Fury corrected.
Max rolled his eyes. "Yeah, Ghost Rider. Remind me again why that guy was trying to burn me alive?"
Fury sighed. "Because he needed the Darkhold destroyed."
Max scoffed. "Yeah, and once again, I've cleaned up your mess. You're welcome."
Fury was silent for a moment before muttering, "You really are a pain in my ass."
"Nope, I'm the one who just saved your ass—for the second time." Max smirked, leaning back.
Then, curiosity kicked in. "But if this isn't about the Darkhold, why are you calling me? If it was, I'm pretty sure your Avengers team would've already barged in here."
Fury hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"It's not about the Darkhold. It's about Thor. He needs your help."
Max raised an eyebrow.
Something didn't add up.
Why the hell would Thor suddenly need his help?
"Go on," Max said, his interest now fully piqued.
