BB blinked, then looked at Gudako lying on the bed with her head tilted to the side and her eyes half-closed, before abruptly pulling back the blanket covering the girl.

Then I saw this scene: the three small hills were actually made up of three girls: Lip, who had her arm removed, and Lilith, who had her prosthetic sword leg that was more than a meter long removed, were sleeping in the same bed with Gudako.

"Why! Why?! Why did they come here?! BB-chan thought she was the first person to arrive here and meet her senior!" BB excitedly grabbed Gudako's pajamas collar and shook her vigorously as she asked.

Because of the severe loss of Servant in Chaldea, half of the rooms have been vacant. Therefore, the girls summoned yesterday have actually been assigned to their respective rooms.

Although it's not large, it has everything you need: a table, chairs, a bed, a bathroom, and a toilet. The soundproofing isn't too bad either, making it a comfortable and relaxing personal space.

Of course, if Servant has the ability to modify space, they could easily open a zoo inside it.

In fact, under the table in Gudako's room, in a cardboard box, were three baby Starry Sky Sphinxes. Although they were the highest-level Phantasmal Beast in Egyptian mythology, on par with Dragon species, they would need to wait at least several hundred years to grow into reliable combatants. They usually slept peacefully.

But starting today, it seems there are two more humanoid computer AI Girl.

"Waaaaah... BB, let go, let go." Gudako was being shaken so badly that her head kept turning around. Although she wanted to stop the girl's rampage, she found that she couldn't move her hands.

Gudako looked to her side and finally understood what was going on. She must have been sleeping with Lip by her side last night, but now she found that one of her hands was stuck inside her breasts, which were bigger than her thigh.

A tingling sensation ran through her other hand as she tried to move it. She saw the petite girl, Lilith, also wearing pajamas, curled up, her head resting on her arm, fast asleep.

Despite the shaking and noise, the two girls seemed completely unaffected, continuing to hold Gudako's hands, though a slight, round smile crept onto their lips.

"You... you all get up!!!" BB's eyes widened, her face flushed, and she threw off the covers, shouting loudly.

"It's so noisy! Disturbing us so early in the morning, it's really bothersome. Could you please leave?"

"BB, it's not good to disturb your senior's sleep," Lip said, sitting up as well.

"Alright, senpai~! Come back over there with me for a bit." With that, BB grabbed Gudako to the frame without further ado, directly operating the machine to enter the Spiritron Transfer. Lilith, the girl with the blue ribbon, and Lip, the girl with the fan sash, naturally followed.

"When did the map here change like this?" Gudako exclaimed in surprise upon arriving.

What was originally a pink, humanoid map of a woman flaunting her figure in the computer world has now been transformed into a blue girl with outstretched arms welcoming something.

This space is filled with the BB bodies that Kishou Shotoku was unable to retrieve, which can be used to enhance her Noble Phantasm.

Then another screen appeared in the void in front of the girls.

Then the background music started playing—the kind of mysterious music that accompanies the appearance of an evil villain.

BB-channel/GO!!!

The same rhythm, the same pink and purple broadcast room, the same girl appeared on the screen, the only difference between her and the girl on the ground was her pair of crimson eyes.

"Huh? There are two BBs!?" Gudako asked, her eyes wide with confusion.

"Nice to meet you, Master of Chaldea! Subduing the Third Beast was truly an arduous task. You achieved a remarkable reversal despite the overwhelming power difference, and I salute you. Thank you so much... Yes... For me! You really worked hard!" The red-eyed girl on the screen said with an evil smile.

"Everything is proceeding according to my plan. Now that Ms. Kihara has been defeated, no one can stop me! From now on, I will rule this computer world. Whether it's Mooncell or humans, I no longer belong to either side!"

I only act for myself. I am the truly evil super AI, the most wicked, most evil, and most adorable BB-chan! As an intelligent life form superior to humanity, I hereby declare war on all of humanity!

Lilith explained, "BB (go) is a super AI extracted from the body of Katsushiroin, who was summoned by the Demon Pillar Jie Pai along with me and Lip.

Although neither of the BBs on either side are exactly good people, she should be a little more careful. Gudako, stay behind us and don't move.

Although Lip wasn't as blatant, she still looked wary and Gudako behind her, whispering, "This BB (go) isn't so easy to get along with."

"Huh? How exactly do I do it?" Gudako asked curiously.

BB(go) revealed an evil smile and told everyone about his plan, "What I want to do is maintain this cyberspace world and fix it in the sea, then hack into the entire network of the earth, use the factories to mass-produce the suppressive robot BBB, build an army and then imprison humans and manage them uniformly."

Then I'll capture all of humanity and send them into the world of cyberspace, making them my slaves or fans, living a life where they don't have to do anything but praise my life.

Standing beside Gudako, BB's eyes lit up upon hearing the plan, and he loudly protested, "What... what a wonderful... no, wicked! idea! Absolutely not! Senpai, that 'I' is the 'I' who can't let her continue! She's definitely much weaker than Kishou Shotoku! Let's defeat her together!"

"Hey? You just let it slip, didn't you? Which side should we defeat?" Gudako asked jokingly.

"Let's just defeat both sides!" Lilith said with a laugh.

"Wait! Shouldn't we be defeating that evil BB over there?" BB said angrily.

"Is there a difference between you two?" Lip asked with a laugh.

"Hey! Even Lip said that!" BB said, waving his fist in dissatisfaction.

"Speaking of which, Lilith and Lip should be on my side, right? At least in the other world, I was the one who created them first," BB (go) said with a sneer.

"Could you explain this properly?" Gudako asked, looking at BB beside her.

Feeling a strong sense of crisis, the girl felt she needed to explain what was going on.

"Ahem, actually, as a BB sent by Mooncell to clean up the mess, I secretly contacted this BB (go) who separated from Ms. Kihara, and we reached a cooperation agreement."

"To defeat Qihuang, she hid behind the scenes, accumulating power, while I took her place, running the computer world. But then again, she was always behind the scenes, observing humanity while gathering strength. She was just using me as a pawn. Now that she's defeated Qihuang, she's thinking of taking all the benefits for herself. What a terrifying child..."

The girls around him all gave him a subtle look that seemed to say, "Do you even have the right to say a few words?"

BB stuck out her tongue and muttered under her breath, 'We've been exposed?' Then she laughed and said, 'Well, actually, this was something we both knew from the beginning. We were both secretly planning to take her back after defeating Miss Qihuang!'

It's like opening a back door to intercept or let in Chaldea's Servant, using various underhanded tactics to hinder Kihara's plans without being detected.

By generating KP (Kishou Shotoku to pleasure was suppressed, preventing her from reaching her climax and thus delaying her ascension, buying her a significant amount of time.

These are all things that the two girls accomplished through their hard work behind the scenes.

"I, who have been lurking in the shadows, biding my time, am the true final boss, BB (go), and will achieve ultimate victory! Because I've been sidelined for so long, I feel neither loneliness nor envy whatsoever!"

However, as a newborn BB sent by Mooncell, even though BB (go) in front of them has the same origin and similar personality and style, their key inner parts have diverged greatly due to their different experiences.

The Mooncell BB who is on Gudako's side is actually a super AI that was repaired and recorded in the Moon's Reverse Side. It was sent to this world by Mooncell as a virus vaccine to deal with the changes in Kishou Shotoku.

As for BB (go), it had already been secretly altered in many places by Kishou Shotoku in another world, during the Moon Holy Grail War. Furthermore, due to being absorbed into the body of the Demonic Bodhisattva and influenced by the Third Beast, it had already fallen into a berserk state in various ways.

Chapter 284 Saving the Mermaid Girl

BB (go) hates humans. Even when facing the Chaldea Master in front of her, if she had to say what she felt, she hated Gudako more than she liked her.

Indeed, the girl was the last Master Chaldea in this world. Although she was ordinary, she overcame countless difficulties and made great contributions to saving Human Order. As Master, she was impeccable.

But the more this happens, the less BB (go) allows himself to like Gudako; the more dazzling she is, the more she finds Gudako an eyesore.

Her predecessor was just as dazzling as this child, and even more gentle and handsome, but she would never see him again.

She still remembered the scene. Due to her carelessness, she never expected to be schemed against to that extent by Kishou Shotoku, and then she was absorbed. She failed to protect her important senior to the end, and with endless regret, she lost consciousness.

When she awoke, she found herself in another world. This was because the Demonic Bodhisattva Kishou Shotoku had absorbed their states, and she had been summoned along with them.

Afterwards, she, Lilith, and Lip were separated from her body by Kishou Shotoku to manage the computer world on her behalf.

Liltih and Lip refused outright, but she chose a roundabout approach and agreed. However, her hatred for Kishou Shotoku was the same as that of the two Alter-Egos.

Then BB, dispatched from Mooncell, secretly approached her, though it was unclear whether she was sent by Mooncell to clean up the mess or simply to collect data related to this special situation.

However, in order to defeat Qi Huang, the more power the better, so they reached a contract with the intention of mutual exploitation.

She learned from the other person that the senior she cared about, Master Zabith, had ultimately defeated Kishou Shotoku.

Unfortunately, she can no longer see the senior in Mooncell who has obtained the throne, and now she has even lost her reason for revenge against Kishou Shotoku.

However... she's not the type to let bygones be bygones. After all, Kishou Shotoku had caused her some trouble before, so she'll find a way to eliminate her no matter what.

However, she wouldn't unconditionally help good children of insignificant humans. Since she had no goals, she would do something for herself! For example, to dominate the world.

If that's the case, perhaps... maybe... we might find Zabith- senpai in this world.

With this in mind, she endured it all, hiding in the shadows where no one dared to approach, gathering energy to help the girls defeat Kishou Shotoku.

Then, before everything collapses, seize control of this world of cyberspace.

Gudako led her Servant through numerous obstacles, defeated the guards set up by BB (GO), and collected the elements to strengthen BB, finally arriving before BB (GO).

"Although the red Archer didn't come for some reason, we have enough Servant here! From now on, I will rule all of humanity," BB (go) said with a sinister grin.

"Gudako-senpai, this BB must be defeated; she can no longer be allowed to live," BB said.

Gudako nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I know. BB is BIG-BUG, he's bugged from head to toe."

"No, senior! This isn't a malfunction issue anymore. This child is far too dependent on humans. Even if they like humans and are afraid of being lonely, they shouldn't act like they have human dependency syndrome! They're practically parasites, it's embarrassing!" the purple-haired girl corrected seriously.

"Huh? How could I possibly depend on humans who are inferior to me?" The girl opposite her felt insulted and said angrily.

BB, Gudako's side, looked at the red-eyed girl with a complicated expression and said:

"The tendency to obsess over establishing hierarchical relationships is a uniquely human trait. You were already infected with it before you came into this world. Compassion, comparison, and lust—these are all evils inherent in humans, driving you to act not as an AI, but as a human."

"As AIs, regardless of our performance, we will never compare ourselves to humans."

Although you keep saying you hate humans, look down on humans, and want to enslave humans, ironically, you are the closest to the dream of my Sakura lineage of AI, and the existence most similar to 'humans'."

"Impossible! I am a highly intelligent AI that surpasses humanity. How could I possibly regress to a human? Humans should just be like Mr. Pig, obediently accepting my feeding and management. However..." BB's crimson eyes widened as she coldly stated, "I will not forgive those who obstruct me! Even Master have made great achievements will be excluded if they resist me."

At this point in time, BB has no memory of being rescued from Katsushiroin's body, nor is she aware that her beloved senior Zabith, has been rescued.

So she was still obsessed with computerizing the whole world and making humans her slaves, all for the sake of seeing her predecessor Zabith, one more time.

When the AI girl arrives outside Mooncell, it's like a computer without antivirus software or a firewall, yet it's constantly invading and collecting data.

The girl, whose lifespan was already very short, was like an infant, a blank sheet of paper, and very easily influenced by the outside world. Whether it was a gentle senior, a cunning third beast, or Outer God, they could all affect her mind.

But at this point, there's no going back.

With BB's help, the girls easily defeated the released Shadow Servant.

"Haaaa!!! Virgin Laser - Palladion - The Spear of Chevalier d'Eon!!!"

Using Lip as the bow and Lilith as the spear, the Goddess's Victory Spear, thrown forth, transformed into a dazzling blue and white light, breaking through BB's (go) defenses and piercing the Spirit Core.

The battle was over. Lilith and Lip retreated with Gudako. The purple-haired girl clearly had something to say to BB (go). She clenched her fists and walked up to BB (go) with complicated feelings.

"I lost... But... why? I was defeated? I can't understand. As perfect AIs, we've been defeated by humans time and time again." BB (go), with its Spirit Origin eyes, suffered a fatal injury and could no longer sustain itself as a computer entity, asking in bewilderment.

"If I had to put it that way, it would be that you've misunderstood the power of love! An omnipotent AI can only ever be omnipotent, because everything is pre-programmed, and therefore there's no way to break through it. Because it's perfect, it won't create anything new, and it won't feel confused or troubled."

But humans are different. It is precisely because life is full of unsatisfactory things, we encounter misfortunes, feel pain, and feel sadness that we yearn for something omnipotent and perfect.

I hope for a better future, I hope for lasting happiness, and I hope to create even better works...

It is precisely because of the existence of various flaws and unmet needs that humanity possesses the boundless motivation to change itself, to grow, and to constantly push its own limits.

"As beings that humanity aspires to be, it is only natural that we possess superior performance compared to them. Humans will not create anything worse than what we already have."

But no matter how advanced our AI becomes, the aspirations of humanity, as its foundation, will not change, and we will never forget our respect for the 'origin' that forms the basis of our existence."

"Being a partner to humanity needs no reason!" BB smiled, looking directly at her past self, and said, "Therefore... I choose to respect and protect humanity!"

"Ah... Is that so... Is this the correct way for AI to think?" the red-eyed girl said. "I can't understand it. I only understand a more selfish kind of love... But, Zabith- senpai is no longer here, because my past self chose to let go and protect this love."

"..." BB looked at her other self with pity. This was something she couldn't understand without experiencing it herself. If she hadn't met Zabith- senpai in her memories, she wouldn't have been able to understand humans. If Gudako-senpai in this world hadn't been so outstanding, she wouldn't have been able to genuinely help humans.

"Since it's a thought you've seriously considered from the bottom of your heart, I can't deny it. I'll give you my Spirit Origin, since I'm going to disappear anyway. But... you'll soon end up like me, so go ahead and worry and struggle as much as you want, until you find your beloved." BB (go) smiled, his body becoming transparent, his Spirit Origin having dissipated to the point where he could no longer maintain his form.

BB watched the red-eyed girl disappear, his brow furrowing slightly with sadness, but finally revealing his usual carefree, mischievous smile, "Well! At least I've kept the promise I made to Zabith back then!"

Because of the disappearance of BB (go) power, the computer space lost its supporting energy, and suddenly it shook violently and was about to collapse.

"BB! They ran away!" Gudako shouted from behind.

"Yes, senior!" The girl turned around, smiled, and led the girls away from this place, returning to Chaldea side.

The computer world that remained on the sea split apart amidst the turmoil, with stone pillars and the ground dissipating into tiny particles.

"So... what exactly is that kind of love?" With this question in mind, BB (go), who had become completely transparent, lost both legs and arms, and with a few remaining traces of consciousness, slowly sank into the sea. Particles floated around him, and his vision was blurry, as if some round object was reflecting a dazzling rainbow of light.

The aperture rose, creating distance between itself and the girl, then suddenly burst. Ah... it was just a bubble...

If Lilith, like the Ugly Duckling, constantly changed herself through adventures for the sake of her beloved, eventually becoming a swan soaring out of the lake, then what will she be as she dissolves into foam...?

Hidden behind him Shirou watched the disappearing girl with pity and let out a soft sigh. After defeating Kishou Shotoku here, he and BB-chan hidden within him crossed space and moved to this timeline.

So they didn't have to wait long; after hiding for only a short while, Gudako and the others arrived.

"Senior? Are you going to save her? She said before that she wanted to rule the world! If she's a bad girl, would you still save her?" BB-chan inside her rolled her eyes and asked in a strange tone.

"No, she only has those thoughts because of bad luck. Besides, she's a girl who's afraid of being alone, so how could I just leave her alone?" Shirou said matter-of-factly.

Although BB (go) was completely transparent, the boy's eyes could still detect her presence.

Recalling the figure of that white-haired man, the dazzling white light, and the correct way to use his eyes, as his clone, he too could use a portion of divine power.

By saving BB (go) from near extinction, even though it sacrificed its own Spirit Origin, it can still be restored as long as there is a remnant of its soul through the power of the gods.

Shirou recreated a body for the girl and carefully placed her in a white space that could perform healing. When the child woke up, she could start anew as a new life. The space would automatically send her out into the outside world. Although it was all random, he believed that with her abilities, she could handle it no matter what.

Shirou closed his eyes, shut down the white space, and prepared to leave this computer world that was about to completely disintegrate.
