The energy took form before us, in a curvy, feminine figure. The figure was about right between my and Aria’s heights, a swirl of black and white energy wrapping around it and taking the shape of clothes.
A white shirt under a black blazer, the shirt unbuttoned about halfway down the chest, revealing ample cleavage, and a black skirt just short of knee-length, with black heels forming around the feet.
Rectangular, black frad glasses appeared over the eyes, black hair appearing and getting neatly tied up in a bun.
The figure’s body glowed with a bright, fair complexion, a small mole appearing below the corner of the left eye.
The eyelids then slowly opened, revealing a pair of dark purple eyes, a similar hue to my own.
"."
"Woah...it’s kinda surreal hearing your voice with my ears instead of inside my head like usual. How does it feel, Ai?" I greeted her with a smile.
"," She responded with a frown.
"Damn...your boobs are massive. Looks like that shirt can barely contain them," Remarked Aria, as she approached Ai and groped her chest in fascination.
"!" Protested Ai indignantly, as Aria jamd her hand into Ai’s cleavage.
"Heh, sorry, my bad," Grinned Aria sheepishly, pulling her hand back out.
"," Responded Ai with a huff.
"Oh, I wonder what an Appraisal of you would look like," I mused in fascination, before chanting, "."
"Ooh, too! ," Grinned Aria, as we both focused our gazes on Ai.

"Huh, never seen identical stats across the board like this before...not to ntion, you’re stronger than I am in my base form," Remarked Aria in bemusent.
"And it looks like you can use the Pride and Greed Skills, that’s pretty cool," I chid in, before adding, "By the way...how co you have the sa last na as ?"
"?"
"Mhm, it says Ai Intrix next to Na," Nodded Aria in response.
"," Replied Ai with a sigh.
"I think it’s pretty cool, it’s like you’re a mber of Kai’s family," Said Aria with a grin.
"Yeah, and with the sa hair and eye colors as , we certainly could pass as being related. Maybe, like, an older sister or a young aunt or sothing," I suggested thoughtfully.
"Oh, I almost overlooked the Age part...you’re only four years old?" Noticed Aria, a bemused look on her face.
"," She surmised.
"Oh, nice, that ans your birthday is just a bit over a month away, we should definitely celebrate," Suggested Aria with a smile.
"For sure, sounds good to ," I nodded in agreent.
""
"Well, too bad, because we insist," Stated Aria firmly, before adding as her stomach rumbled, "Okay, we should really have sothing to eat. Oh, I know! You should join us, Ai, considering that you’ve never eaten and all."
"."
"Yeah, not the sa thing. I’ll bring out so of the best options I’ve got in Treasury," I replied with a grin.
"Wait, can you eat? Like, are you physically capable of consuming food?" Aria asked her.
"."
"Yeah, the Apostles are able to eat even though they don’t need to, and your body seems to be a similar kind of construct to theirs. Alright, let’s go all out and stuff our faces!" I declared with a grin.

"So...would you mind if I asked for an explanation on what exactly the goal here is, my Lord?" Inquired Spektar curiously.
"You’ll find out soon enough."
"Yes, you said that before...but if I may speak frankly, all we have done is eliminate thousands of our own forces," He responded in bemusent.
Tch...since he has no physical form and cannot be hard, he isn’t afraid to annoy .
Of all my Generals, he was the only survivor...if I was given a choice, I would have picked literally anyone else.
With all the other Generals dead, along with a number of other talented Archdemons and Dragons, I have been left with no choice but to gamble.
A week has passed since Kaivel Intrix escape, and I was currently by a Goblin colony. I commanded them to kill each other, and gather the Cores of the fallen until I say to stop.
This option was always a last resort, I hoped I would never need to use it.
But to restore power to my forces, it is my only choice...the number of Monsters under my command is not a concern, it is the number of strong Monsters that is the issue.
Prior to bringing Kaivel Intrix to this world, my forces had both quality and quantity...but now, both aspects have taken a significant blow.
As a result, I must sacrifice quantity for the sake of quality.
This thod requires gathering thousands of Cores of Monsters in the sa evolutionary cycle, and using those Cores as a catalyst...unfortunately, it has a fifty percent chance of success, which of course, also ans a fifty percent chance of failure.
So far, there have been two failures, resulting in a flock of Harpies and a pack of Hellhounds-...along with the other species in their respective evolutionary cycles...-being decimated for nothing.
Ah, looks like enough Cores have been gathered.
As they say, third ti is the charm...I hope...
