Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Tears of the Crimson Lord

/POP Luna/

Luna has an unreadable face. She looks at the new object of interest she just found while taking time off to visit her childhood home. Sana lies on a cold metal table for surgery. She watches how painful it is for Sana. His body screams in a crazy way. Luna's red eyes glow. "Interesting."

She raises her hand, sending more of the Punishing Virus into his body.

Sana starts to struggle even more. "Arrrr..."

[Maybe I can do more interesting things, this is my treasure object to experiment on]

Then Luna releases an even stronger surge of the virus. The entire room glows red.

Sana is at the center of this event.

After all the tests, Luna comes to a conclusion.

Luna: "This thing is not human… but somehow, it cannot be affected by the virus. Lucky for me to find something interesting like this."

Her eyes move closer to Sana, she nods. "This is the perfect experimental object."

Her red eyes glow, trying to do more things. She notices this is not a normal thing existing in this world. Maybe she can find a way to solve all of her problems from this thing.

In the Ascension Network Luna watches Sana's battle against another Luna. "Clang, Clang,..."

[Interesting… Even as a human, not a Construct, not related to any organization like Babylonia… somehow this thing can still fight. Its technique is something I have never seen before. There is no data related to it.] While sitting in a hidden high place looking below at this battle.

[But how did this object reach this place?] She tilts her head slightly.

Luna looks at Sana.

[The subject is an error retained during the Network's data assimilation.]

Sana: "Why do I have to fight my love like this, Luna?"

Luna: "Observe this meaningless object." She rests her chin on her hand with an air of authority.

Sana drops his weapon. "I miss you… my love."

High Authority: "ERROR — classification failed… Unrewrite… New parameter accepted."

Luna: "???"

Sana: "???"

Then everything collapses… Sana slowly opens his eyes. He is shocked by the red glow right in front of him. Suddenly, his head hurts. Everything becomes blurry and unclear.

He can only hear a voice.

Luna: "If he evolves further… he may become something useful." she nods.

Sana starts to hear many voices. "Kill… kill… be with me…"

His mind becomes unstable, but he can feel another presence near him. That presence is very strong, but for some reason, his soul feels… stable when he senses it. Again, his memory becomes unclear. Wake up myself this is a nightmare, the real Sana struggles to control his thoughts. But his thoughts right now are being forced to hear these unknown versions of himself. Like he really became him in some way, this makes him feel more scared than ever.

Sana kills Alice… He becomes something unknown… Alice's face becomes unclear…... KILLLLLLLL, DIIIIWEEEEEE.... No this is not real, not real , not real,...

Sana tries to grasp his last hope—to reach that presence near him. Then his eyes meet Luna. His mind starts to stabilize. His memory begins to return.

Luna looks at him curiously. "You can recover by yourself… interesting."

[Maybe, I created something from this thing]

Sana has a bad feeling about it.

Luna looks emotionless. No warmth. No feelings. Only a cold and creepy expression on her face. That makes Sana feel terrified about this world. He wants to die so badly.

Luna: "But I cannot bring this object anywhere near Babylonia or anything related to it. I must continue to keep this thing here."

[If I have more free time I will come here and continue my new project]

Sana hears what she says. His face shows sadness. Suddenly, his body is controlled by an unknown force from Luna.

Luna: "Let's keep this thing a secret."

[I don't want to lose my thing to anyone]

Sana: "Luna… what are you doing to me?"

Luna: "…"

She puts Sana into hibernation.

Sana angrily says, "How dare you Luna, fucking you, I will break everything." Suddenly he overpowers and controls his mind, his body.

He broke everything around him like a monstrous being.

[?? This thing is beyond understanding] Luna shows a terrified face for the first time while she had held a lot of power in this world. Her body shivers from primitive instinct, this feeling makes her feel like she is being human more than ever.

[What happened to me, how can this be, this is impossible, who is that guy, I admit it, this is more special than anything I have ever faced. He is so dangerous, he will bring more chaos to this world if I let him free, no choice]

Luna really wants to fight back but her body doesn't move.

Sana holds her neck, his eyes showing one thing — hatred. Luna smiles, she knows this feeling, more alive than ever, like she can become human again somehow. But then Sana hesitates and throws her away.

Luna feels like she is just a toy for him.

[What will he do in this world, I want to know]

Sana in a cool voice, "I really want to kill you immediately but luckily this is just a dream, I never want to kill my waifu by my own hand sorry, but you must be lonely and suffering so much, I know your pain, your suffering, your dream, thanks for everything that made me grow up more through your suck childhood story. I wish you could have a happy life but the hard truth hurts you know, you're just a character, the villain in this game world. Goodbye."

Luna's face tears up, she struggles to come and hold him. She doesn't know why his words touch her so deeply. Like she can feel more alive than ever. And then Sana slowly disappears in this dream. "Goodbye my past dream, I love you Luna lord."

Luna weeps bitterly with heart-wrenching sobs. "NO, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME, hu hu,..."
