Dennis teleports to Shrub and holds the Moth on top " I would like to report a crime " Willow burst into laughter as Dennis had just teleported in front of several influential figures holding a cutesy and colorful moth and accusing it of a crime .
" Uhm Dennis , I don't think this is the right time " " No , this guy is a terrorist , he's the one who caused all three attacks , he was the head of security , but he's a traitor ! " Dennis slammed on a virtual table , which became real as sand rose and solidified into one with State .
" Now , just use your rule magic and impose a punishment on them , you'll see what I mean " they all looked at each other and thought ' If this is false , we can use it to decrease the reward '
" Alright , we will bring them to the biggest court " they looked at the mages besides them as a magic circle envelops all that was present and the broadcast begins " Dennis Debrah , are you certain this ... Moth is the culprit "
" Yes , they may look small , but that's because when I was fighting Filter , the Security head . I ripped all of his limbs apart and yada yada they turn to this " Dennis uploads a video with Pictures and edited it with Preview showing what had happened .
' This is amazing ' they couldn't believe Dennis changing into different forms and races , wondering how she managed to do that . Meanwhile , Dennis continues to point at it and Saved memories from the Moth , showing what had occurred .
" LOOK , this is the same person except they've changed because the yada yada " they looked at the grotesque and marvelous transformation of Filter's limbless torso into this adorable critter .
" Just judge this cut ... I mean Moth already , look , it has the essence of several insects of the insect kingdom and doesn't exactly match with any species , thanks to the gift that they are mostly composed of "
A few viewers of the broadcast , like the one at the beach , wondered why Dennis was pointing out what species they are and Dennis pointed out " Look " she pulls their antennae showing how it unraveled into strings .
" So it should be completely fine if you sentence them and treat them like an object because they don't qualify as one , right ? " they all looked at each other they haven't even gone through the proper protocol and done the paperwork , but Dennis was already rushing them .
" Shrub , what do you think , you know her the msot " Shrub cursed mentally and just settled " I believe it would be in our best interest to judge them so we can confirm it "
" But if we want to judge a criminal who had taken over the world , we need to have some reference " " Oh my god , just put them in eternal servitude already " Dennis grabbed the moth and hurls them into the massive scales while Commanding Zilch to dump mana into it to activate and it started listing all of the moth's crimes .
And they could not believe the long list that filled the room of the many instances of violating laws that would be counted as illegal , while some were also placed as potentially illegal because their lawbook has yet to process these crimes yet .
" LOOK , clearly a criminal and this one too , the accomplice " Dennis puts Zilch on trial and starts acting a lot like a prosecutor , knowing so many laws , but not the specific name or number specifications , but because there were so many Natives of the rule world , they confirmed that her accusations were valid because they knew the law too well .
They begin processing both suspects and immediately filed for a spell to sentence them to eternal servitude . Dennis was really glad , but in her thoughts all she had was .
' Now I can finally have something alive to hug and they don't have any right to refuse . But it's not like they have the mind and free will to ' she was later killed repeatedly by her mother because her intentions were easy to know from her mother even without Eye .
...
Everyone looks at Dennis's mother bringing weapons , which they suspect is from her item box and finding more lethal ways to use Eye like laser eyes on Dennis .
They had gotten used to it as Dennis's blood stained the shore and the organizers began offering a beach party , hoping to compensate for the trouble they invited , but everyone had long forgiven them after seeing how much Filter had poured into this project .
" Dennis sure is amazing " Janine said beside Routen , who was surprised " Make sure to take advantage of your first contact with Dennis , it's gonna be a valuable tool for you "
" I-i wouldn't dare to use it like that " Routen said " And be careful about your family calling for you , I'm sure that they'll try to push you to marry her " Routen blushed intensely , hearing that , while Kahnu thinks about his family possibly asking him to do the same .
' That could be possible too , but it would mean I can get more involved ' he grins , ready to try and charm Dennis , but wonders if she likes tougher guys , as his father and mother and their siblings had noted that Dennis had a very muscular build when they were inside her giftspace .
He then thought of his thinking and wondered what part of it was disgusting to Dennis ' Why is dealing with people not as easy as magic ' then there were other people who were interested in Dennis , like the peak masters .
They asked their daughters to try to get with Dennis in her male form while urging their sons to try even better at confessing . The Sages were more focused on the ultimate magic and each , recalling a clause , couldn't wait for Dennis to submit to them the ultimate magic grimoire so they could climb a little higher .
As more people were thinking about potential improvements in their own , they couldn't help but feel that other parties might catch on and get ahead first .
Elron could already tell and wondered what Dennis wanted to say for it and she actually responded as a head " By the way , if you guys want my hand in marriage , you're gonna have to beat these guys " a hand pointed at Satin the moth and Zilch .
" As for the competitions , you guys can decide . As for you two , just do your best " " Yes " Zilch said and Satin nodded . They all worried about the competition and Dennis used Preview to show them what they really are against .
...
Dennis slouched on the bed , checking the time and grabbing Satin to embrace and drown in their fluff ' I'm glad I got upgraded to a luxury suite ' Dennis thought as she grabbed Satin's fluffy back like a teddy bear and threw the holding hand back , dropping Satin on a side of the bed while Dennis continued to grip them .
Dennis raised them and looked at the wings , which seemed to begin from the waist , where eight crab-like appendages seemed to grip the sides of the belly . Dennis sits them up and looks at eight things " What are those black things ? "
It was such a contradiction compared to the other , more colorful areas like Satin's wings . Satin reveals that the eight appendages were actually spider legs as it stretched a little , revealing the fuzzy hair on the hard surface of the legs surface .
Looking at the legs , Dennis couldn't help but recall the crab legs that she had eaten and drooled . Satin sensed Dennis's hunger and having consumed mana that came from her glutinous appetite , this hunger scared them even more , thinking Dennis would actually eat them .
" Master , another person is at the door " Zilch commented while a halo of magic formations appeared in their head " Just do the usual , give them the magic that is just for them "
Zilch followed the Command while Dennis looked at her gifts , wondering about them and looked at Satin , confused as to why they transformed with several insect traits of all things .
Dennis tried to Load Eye but found that the Saved uses were gone and Saver mentioned that her mother had taken it all away ' probably to keep me from using it as I please '
Instead , she deconstructs Appraisal and targets the race analysis , flooding it with skill points . She then targets Satin and dives into Strings of information ' What the hell '
There were so many things inside the Strings that should not be possible to view ' but there must be a reason that Race Appraisals showed me this . ' she found some foreign information inside and assumed it must be Filter's memories and awakened it with Command .
But with all the insect-related memories , these memories remain unable to completely influence Satin . Dennis looks at Satin after getting the information and she gives it Voice a stretched-out Definition of the Sound gift .
" Do you know why you gained insect-like traits ? Reference your findings from Filter your former body owner's body " ' feels like asking AI about this ' " The higher being associates insects with Strings because of spiders , silkworms . "
' So a simple association heavily changed it ' Dennis thought about what the other gifts might be associated with certain things ' Definition is definitely associated with words , but there are others too , like Dots to math . So that means that the power each gift has is also connected to the association with the gift '
" But then does that also apply to Strays ? " Dennis looks at Saver and at Yeld , thinking about their ability ' No Saver should be the real Stray here while Yeld is an in-between '
Dennis only knew that Saver is limited to taking things and placing them in Savings , but she has managed to stretch this ability even further . However , Saver is still limited to their initial ability .
' It's not like I can investigate the Association this Eldritch beings gave to these gifts . Not when Strays are described to be more disconnected ' Dennis thought that this Association might bind the gifts to her more ' But I have little ideas on this ' Dennis checks on Definition seeing that its association is the dictionary or possibly something even bigger than her imagination .
She writes Association down and uses Definition . There were common definitions that appeared like an organization , connection . But Dennis intends to stretch it even further .
She looks at the interface and looks at the bottom line . She uses Frames to widen the interface while grabbing Fill and pours the Filler over it ' Come on , show me the higher being's Definition instead '
Her mind begins to ache as the information is written down , again she uses skill cards to translate and fills it with skill points to raise its ability to translate and begins to read the eldritch Definition .
' Filter really is terrible at using this ' Dennis thought and read it with more ease ' So association is an act to maintain connection with a part that is separated ' Dennis thought about how String was associated with insects and then started asking Saver something to ensure they are more disconnected .
" What do you want to be ? " Saver was stunned to hear that asking "What ?" " I learned that there are some Associations that maintain a connection . Satin is a perfect example of the evidence of the Association of String to insects , which is why I want you to understand yourself "
Dennis thinks of the educational philosophies to grow a student to be their own person " I know a lot about you , you and Deks love to hoard things and organize them , while you focus more on things that you can obtain . Deks is focused on specific things like knowledge , skills , traits and etc "
Saver was confused because they never had to question their identity and even Yeld and Deks were just as confused " I want to ask you this because I want you to be able to stay like yourself later on , so in the case of being reconnected because we couldn't do anything , you would be able to maintain your sense of self by associating yourself with things from you and not from your origin "
Dennis recalls sensing the Vis pools as part of the higher being , having seen Filter completely consumed and figured she could've been the same if she hadn't developed her character well when she was immersed in the vision of Vis's origin .
" Think it thoroughly alright ? If you need anything , ask me " " Then what do you want to be ?" " Don't know at best I'm a wanderer learning as they go , I don't have a direction , but I am willing to learn as much as I can . So I will be ahead of the world "
Dennis Loads out her things and begins ordering an exorbitant amount of food while using the money Rule world leaders gave her as a reward . She intends to keep up with the mana her artificial mana converter is creating .
" Dennis , you in here ? It's me Elron , I want to check on the mana converter you have " Elron gets in and begins to check on the Mana converter " Oh , this is amazing . Your converter has changed beyond me . Care to let me study "
" Sure , you gave it to me . I feel like you should probably find a way to hold it back . Since right now the converter is being slowed down by me and I've been giving away the excess mana to Satin and Zilch "
" How remarkable , maybe I should spend all my mana to see if my mana source will try to supply it " " Mine was only possible because I had a big reservoir of unprocessed energy . I'm sure if I didn't , the converter might've proceeded to target other sources of energy to convert , like my Vis pool or my body "
" No matter , this change is more than welcome , it'll take a while for me to observe the changes , especially if this is the slowed-down speed of conversion " he also took a look at the intangible mana Strings that Dennis made to ensure she doesn't receive it .
" I could've vomited from Mana overload , so I had to make those " " Clearly a good move , all of your mana sources are artificially made and not your own . What's more , your pool is reliant on your giftspace , so it would be best for you to "
" Change my body ? I'm not so sure where I can get that kind of change without changing my looks " " Really ? " Elron was surprised that Dennis showed some hesitation .
" I was thinking that you would be more open to that idea if you went ahead and completely changed your form repeatedly for seemingly no reason during the execution of the Security head "
" I quite like my human form , I would even be fine if I didn't have access to my other energies like Vis "
'After all , these Vis are actually a higher being's power , maybe I should look into how I can achieve the results of Vis without vis . Maybe do the same with Mana ? '
It was quite ambitious , but Dennis knew how difficult that would be . There were possible ways to imagine how it would go ' If mana is limbs to cast magic , then I should figure out how to replace those limbs . Although that dream is like trying to make something out of nothing '
She reduced the demand to something more feasible , like controlling the world through her will . But the problem was that she didn't have experience in something like projecting her will without any help from things like mana or Vis .
' I'm gonna have to Shelve this idea of projecting my will to control the world , after all , it's difficult to do that when I don't have any references ' she recalls many innovators and thought ' Maybe I should figure that out , I already have some reference like my body being controlled by my brain , so why not figure it out from there ? '
" I'm done gathering the data , you should probably tell your suitors that your magic prowess is an artificial implant , not something genetic " " I thought they'd know that by now ? " Dennis complained as she put on her jacket , ready to go out .
" I thought that too , but maybe because of you using it often , they don't suspect a thing " Elron said " Then I'll tell them that later " ' I have classes tomorrow , but I won't be able to return to normal life . Then again , I had already seen higher beings before , so this is hardly anything '
The door opened and a staff member bought food ' Oh , that's right , I ordered food ' " You better eat your fill , even though you probably won't be full " Dennis starts eating food while thinking about a solution to her mana overload .
' Maybe I should start making magic sources out of the original ' " ZILCH " Zilch ran down and Dennis asked " You know how to make magic sources ? " " Yes " " Then make magic sources out of my mana converter "
" Understood " " Wait before you do that , I need to do somethings . First , my body is actually moving at a slower rate of time , so you might have problems . So , before you do anything , I want you first to be Loaded with time so you can move at a faster rate "
Zilch nodded and Dennis began Loading time to Zilch " Now go " Zilch saw the ocean of Mana flowing into them through Strings and began their work converting the original source to sources they previously had until it was taken by Filter and ruined by Dennis .
While Zilch was converting the original mana source into new magic sources , Dennis was busy in deep thought , thinking about her idea ' That idea is really difficult , not only that , the higher beings seem to have their own matter to control and what's more , they have a really big will '
Dennis recalls the majestic form of Vis ' Definitely big ' she thought of the eldritch curiosity and mentally delved in her giftspace to deal with it "How can they not experience gift overload ?"
Dennis digs deep into her knowledge to figure out an answer for that question " I have a bigger giftspace " the question accepted the answer , while more questions appear "How does she expand her giftspace ?" " Interpretation of Gifts "
She waits ' Not acceptable , huh ? ' " Further explanation is like these hands . At first , all it can do is hold and release things , but as I use it for more things like writing , typing , gaming , I begin to expand the uses "
The answer was taken and Dennis answered more questions , mostly about gifts , but then a question about ethics came "Is industrializing life morally right ?"
Dennis suddenly knew this was an open-ended question and thought of the potential future in which the eldritch finds a use for industrializing intelligent life .
She thought that her answer could change a view of the higher being " It always is wrong to kill , but we still do it because it's how we can survive by raising to kill another because our bodies aren't like plants that produce their own food by picking off from the small elements of the world "
The answer was taken and more ethical questions came up and she answered them to the best she could , providing as much ambiguity as possible while giving cold information with no attached emotions ' Why is a higher being curious about ethics all of a sudden ? '
She worried that they might take over the world with those ethics guiding them and looked at Zilch through clairvoyance , converting the original mana source into other magic sources . Dennis wondered how much mana her original mana source was actually producing , since Zilch was taking so long to finish it .
Eventually , Zilch had taken a substantial amount and Dennis released the Loading of time and applied Slowpoke to herself " Take a rest " Dennis leaves and Zilch was tired from creating magic sources , while Deks was joyful of all the material , while Yeld asked .
" Calm down if you want to make more , you gotta wait when my mana is more than I can manage " Dennis starts eating food while thinking about the projection of will and then thought of Command .
' There's definitely some potential ' Dennis thought and kept eating without stopping . Seeing her eat food that matched their features her sentenced criminals couldn't help but feel fear .
Satin wanted to go out , but there was a Command to remain inside the luxury suite . Dennis continues eating and only stops when the food stops coming . She downs a high-sugar drink and thinks of what to do next .
On one hand , she wanted to keep working , but on the other , she had just eaten a lot of food and before that , she also fought Filter and had used her brain too much and really needed a break from doing it for the sake of fighting .
She looks at the giant gaming TV and logs into her accounts ' May as well game ' she made Zilch take on the form of a qilin with gorgeous animalistic figure that stretches atop the wide couch acting as a long warm pillow , fine horns and green fur as she soaks in the warm fluff and Commands Satin to act like a warm pillow on her lap while she plays on the TV some games she had bought but never had the time to play .
' I have not played these games for a long time because of my work and since I just saved a lot of Royals , I deserve this . ' Dennis also calls some order for some junk foods ' Oh man , I always dreamed of this ' she even purposely stretched her Collection of Gifts' Definition just to order food elsewhere .
By the time her mother had finished building relations with others , she had found her child , who had turned into a glutton devouring junk food and even had some appliances doing the cooking " What are you doing ? "
" I had to convert a lot of food into mana in such a short time , so I deserve to eat as much as I want , plus I need to get them so I can investigate each world's higher being . I'm still working , just also playing " she looks at the other clones who were doing other things .
One clone was cooking and another was eating , one was combing Zilch's fur and cleaning their horn , another was gaming and another was watching movies .
Basically , the entire luxury suite had become a den of different indulgences that Dennis could never have had because she was so focused on work , but even so , work somehow bled in .
" I can See that you are also investigating these higher beings ? " " Yep , one of me is also asking Satin more information about Industry world . Really interesting world , kinda like this , but more cruel and ruthless for the lowest class " her mother already saw through her intentions and looks at Zilch , who is being treated like a pet .
" I have a lot of people who want to have your hand in marriage . The men are more motivated , while the ladies , upon seeing the different forms you've taken , can't help but want you more . Their parents are more intent on getting close , but I'm sure you get it "
" I do , I just know it will be suffocating having to deal with them " " really even after your clones are also moving to other worlds " Dennis was surprised that her mother had interpreted Eye that far already .
" I can See those Strings you are using " but her mother was more impressed that Dennis could handle so many different types of information at once , but since she was able to process information from beings beyond her comprehension , it didn't sound surprising .
" Maybe it's possible for you to marry different people at ones " " No , I don't want to do that , I want to love someone even though my type is different " her mother looks at one of the clones caressing Zilch's body .
Her mother walked to that clone , taking off her heels and swings it into the clone's head , killing it and causing all of the clones to return to Dennis " ACK , what was that ? "
The heel got off Dennis's head while her mother looked at Zilch . Deks lent her some skills and she threw her daughter away from Zilch " I am so sorry , children , for my daughter's treatment "
" Why are you sorry for a clone that doesn't have free will ? " Dennis asked with her head recovering and an ax hit her head , killing her again " SHUT UP YOU DISGUSTING DAUGHTER OF MINE " her mother then turns to Zilch , seeing through their mind .
" I am so sorry to you children inside , my daughter must've been cruel . Even if she desperately missed having a pet , seeing her gross thoughts , you must've been afraid too of what she could've done to you " Zilch's eyes begin to tear up .
" Alright dear , let it all out " her mother said while Zilch cried under her embrace . Dennis stayed on the floor pretending to be dead while thinking about what she had done and suddenly remembered that her mother was starting to use her gift more openly after finding out the spy that's involved with the gift protection programs .
' Is this because I was looking through those questionable sites ? ' Dennis asked , hiding her thoughts since she had concealed her thoughts and some of her memory from the gifts because she didn't want them to know and possibly report it to her mother .
Sensing that her mother was not responding she assumed it was a yes and was disappointed that she couldn't treat Zilch like they were a pet . Another ax was thrown as she thought of treating Satin as a pet too .
