14:14 arrived, which meant Alifade and Gusa had met.
"Yo! I'm over here, Alifade!" said Gusa while waving his hand.
"Ah! So you're there?!" Alifade answered while hurriedly approaching Gusa.
"S-so, is this the place you mentioned?" asked Alifade while looking at the very large forest, which was none other than the Forest of Karunia.
"You're absolutely right! Well then, Alifade, let's get straight to the point... do you want to collaborate with me?" was Gusa's reply and question.
"Ah, of course! Collaborate on what?" asked Alifade.
"I plan to create or add an AI network in this forest, but I need your help!" answered Gusa.
"Ah, certainly! But are you carrying anything right now?" Alifade asked while staring intently at Gusa.
"A-ah... w-what do you mean? For now, I haven't prepared anything," was Gusa's dishonest answer.
"Oh, I see. I thought you were going to start now!" Alifade responded.
"S-start? Ah, of course not. For now, it's better to discuss it with you first," said Gusa with a slight tremble.
"Ah, relax, Gusa! Why are you giving me such an untrusting look?! We've been collaborating for a year now! I should... give you an award, right? Sorry for forgetting about that, hehehe," said Gusa calmly.
"Oh, right! Alifade, how about the serum you developed? Is it truly successful?" Gusa asked while thinking condescendingly of Alifade.
"Ah, of course! Look at this!" said Alifade while showing his serum (False Kin).
Seeing that, Gusa reflexively used his anti-serum suit shield.
"Hey, damn Alifade! What was the meaning of that?" Gusa asked, filled with shock and fear.
"Huh? What are you doing, Gusa? Why are you so panicked after seeing this serum? Moreover... what is that thing you're wearing? Did you prepare it from the beginning? Ahh... I'm truly disappointed in you, Gusa. I thought you had trusted me, but..." said Alifade with very relaxed and calm gestures. Seeing Alifade's behavior, Gusa was carried away by emotion and he initiated his plan.
"AH, DAMN YOUR NONSENSE, START!" shouted Gusa with a panicked feeling.
After Gusa uttered the word "Start," all the copied AI robots came swarming in. Those AI robots together captured Alifade and ganged up on him.
Alifade was caught by those robots until he couldn't move an inch.
"H-he-hey! G-Gusa! W-w-what are you dOIng to mE!" Alifade screamed, filled with pain from the pulling by Gusa's AI robots.
"Ah, that foolish Alifade! If only he had injected the serum into me directly... my story might have ended here, but... luckily he is a stupid Genius! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Gusa laughed with a very happy feeling. After that, Gusa approached the captured Alifade.
"Huh.... Do you know, Alifade? All this time... I've been so exhausted, you know? Just taking care of you alone! Haha, but it's okay... after this... all the robots you have... hand them over to me, okay? It would be a shame if they were left behind by their dead master! Hahahaha," Gusa hurled insults in front of Alifade. Unfortunately, Alifade couldn't do anything; his body was tightly held by a vast number of AI robots. All Alifade could do was listen and resign himself to the situation.
The sound of the footsteps of thousands of AI robots could be heard deep into the Forest of Karunia. Gens wondered to himself, what was that sound?
"What's going on? What's happening out there? T-this sounds like the footsteps of something made of iron? Touzen! Thea! Come here!" said Gens while calling his two friends.
"Ah, yes? What do you need from us, Gens?" Touzen asked after approaching Gens.
"Ah, that... Can you take me flying using that AI plane you stole from your father?" Gens asked hopefully.
"Ah, of course, Gens! Where do you want to go? Why so suddenly?" Touzen asked.
"That... I hear the footsteps of robots from outside the forest... besides, maybe now is the time for me to go back and meet my Group," answered Gens.
"Huh? You have a Group? But you're right! I also heard some strange sounds from outside just now! Alright, let's depart now!" said Touzen, curious about Gens's Group. Gens, Touzen, and Thea boarded Touzen's plane and began their journey (Flying).
Meanwhile, in a completely helpless state, Alifade was also subjected to cruel torture by Gusa. After Gusa was satisfied torturing Alifade, he also stole Alifade's False Kin serum.
"Huhh.... You really make me pity you, Alifade! After your robots are stolen... it seems your beloved serum will also be stolen! AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA," Gusa laughed cunningly in front of Alifade while showing off the False Kin he had successfully taken.
"Y-you? You've taken my serum, huh? Thank you very much ha ha ha..." Alifade said in a very soft and weak voice.
"Huh? Did you say something? Can you say it louder? Hahahahahaha," Gusa responded with a happy laugh.
"FOOL! Hahahahahhaa, do you really think I'm captured and defeated? You should have killed me right away, you fool! But unfortunately... you are a few minutes too late!" Alifade shouted with very spirited and energetic vigor.
"HAH? W-what i-is that? Why are you suddenly energetic again?" Gusa asked, enveloped in a feeling of fear, while staring wide-eyed at Alifade.
"From the beginning... I didn't feel any pain or weakness, you know? Now witness this! A battle between one perfect AI robot against thousands of your stupid robots! ~~[Appear! "]{.underline}~~" said Alifade very calmly. Something appeared behind Alifade, which was none other than a robot. However, this robot was immensely large, standing 200 meters tall and 100 meters wide. The robot looked terrifying and seemed to blot out the sky of the Forest of Karunia. This left Gusa speechless and still, as if his world had gone silent. The appearance of the giant robot darkened the sky around them, as if the world had forgotten how to breathe.
Gens, who was flying in the plane with Touzen and Thea, also felt a sense of horror and devastation in his heart, as if the world was sinking into an absolute ocean of terror.
"T-Touzen! W-what is that?" Gens asked while pointing at Alifade's giant robot.
"T-that's obviously a robot! Gens! G-Gens! What do we do?" Touzen responded, trembling and filled with fear.
"E-Erm, well, if possible, we should fly higher and observe the situation from above!" suggested Gens Sheyan.
"Ah, you're right, Gens! I'll do that," said Touzen while controlling his plane and increasing the flight altitude. Meanwhile, Thea could only remain silent, looking at the giant robot as if she had been cursed and turned to stone.
After being summoned by its master (Alifade), the giant robot immediately began stomping on the thousands of Gusa's AI robots. Even though Gusa's robots, which were copies of Alifade's robots, were made of very solid materials and possessed extraordinary intelligence, their resistance was still futile, like putting a bolt lock on a sliding door that is already open.
