《Supervillain》Chapter 171 - The Chosen One 1

1 Week Later
Theo's hideout
Once in a while, Theo would undertake a project that would completely drain him off all energy. These undertakings often had high level of complexity and trusted no one to pull it of perfectly.
As such, Theo would do everything himself from start to finish.
All his efforts this last week was one of such projects.
In front of him was a bloody operating table with a naked Juno sleeping on top of it.
At initial glance, she looked totally normal. In reality, Theo was questioning his sanity while he was witnessing the absurdity in front of him.
Theo just fulfilled a promise he made to Juno before the whole Eldorado Election Incident. Namely, he was to giver her some cybernetics.
When Theo asked if she had any requests, she simply asked for powerful yet extremely tough limbs. She also wanted it to have as little additional function as possible.
It was reasonable given her love for the delicate art of crushing someone's skull with her bare hands.
For this, Theo gave Juno adamantium limbs and a cybernetic spine with some basic functions such as connecting to his drone army.
Aside from painfully large amounts of materials that were consumed, the adamantium limbs took Theo only 2 days to make. Naturally, he made it by himself.
The reason why it took so long to prepare was not the limbs, but the power source that Juno asked Theo to use.
It was a Soul Stone, a mysterious material that faded in and out of existence.
Truth be told, he had absolutely no idea how to work with such an enigmatic object.
He used his Midas Alchemy to scan the soul stone's properties, and was surprised on how little information he could draw from it.
Just to be clear though, he was receiving massive amounts of info pertaining to its atomic make up and general material composition.
The problem lied in the fact that all of them were materials that simply did not exist in this world. And more annoyingly, these things did not follow common sense at all.
Theo wanted to transmute it, but it kept fading out of existence whenever he tried.
Did it had a will of its own?
He had no clue, but it was very annoying to deal with.
How the hell was he suppose to integrate the soul stone into his tech if the stupid thing wont allow him to do so?
Juno provided the answer to that.
He was to open up her chest and stab the soul stone straight into her heart.
Her body has the extremely rare power called 'Assimilation' which allowed her to make use of absolutely anything that was inside her body with relatively high proficiency.
Be it mana, chi or cybernetics, as long as it was properly assimilated into her body, she would be able to make use of it.
The assimilation of foreign objects was a relatively slow process and it would leave her in a comatose state for the entire duration.
Based on Juno's estimates, the soul stone and the adamantium limbs would take about 1 week to assimilate.
Until the completion of the process, her chest cavity was to remain open until she would close it herself.
Naturally, Theo was completely against it.
Due to being a tsundere, Theo would never voice out his love for Juno, Nichola and Pani. Nevertheless, he cared for them quite a bit.
The very idea of potentially killing Juno by surgically opening her chest cavity, stabbing her in the heart and leaving said surgery open for an entire week was something no sane person would agree on doing.

This was the very first time Theo and Juno had ever seriously fought against each other. Mind you, it was a verbal fight.
If it was actual combat, Theo would have been torn to shreds in 3 seconds flat.
Juno was able to coerce Theo into doing it by ripping her own heart from her chest and stabbing it with the soul stone herself.
"Now you have no right to refuse." said Juno before taking her place on top of the operating table.
Theo initially panicked and tried to perform emergency first aid, but he immediately understood that this was unnecessary.
From her open chest cavity, blood vessels shot out and began reconnecting themselves to the heart. At the same time, said veins began invading into the soul stone despite its phasing properties.
A few seconds later, Juno's heart being beating again.
Theo thought that he had a good grasp on the capabilities of this millennia old monster. Clearly he understood nothing.
"I'm going to enter a trance. During that time, you can install the cybernetic limbs. Don't use anesthesia though. It will mess with with my assimilation ability. Don't worry about me feeling pain. I can block out pretty much all sensations while I'm in a trance." said Juno before closing her eyes.
At that point, the temperature in the room spiked to the level of a exceedingly hot summer day. A substantial amount of mana was being used.
Theo had to install quite a bit of air conditioning units to counter act this.
Seeing how shit has already slammed into the fan, Theo did what was asked of him an installed the adamantium limbs.
Fast forward to the present.
Theo sat beside the operating table after a 5 hour operation.
With the help of robots he directly controlled, the operation went without any incidents.
The weird stuff happened immediately after that.
The moment Theo said 'Finished', Juno's veins slowly borrowed into the cybernetics.
Flesh and blood veins punched through the adamantium cybernetics!
Can you comprehend the absurdity of that?!
The invincible metal that could take any punishment without a scratch was slowly eroding to Juno's veins!
How in the hell was that possible?!
After a couple of moments of questioning the fabric of reality, Theo eventually calmed down and began rationalizing this absurdity.
"Juno did say that the reckless use of Assimilation resulted in her becoming a world ending natural disaster. Maybe this is what she meant.... Something like a black hole perhaps? Assimilating anything and everything she comes in contact with.... Yeah. That makes sense. I mean, no matter how invincible adamantium steel is, there's no way it can retain its shape if you throw it into a singularity. Maybe her power has a black hole-ish effect."
While Theo was questioning his unwavering faith in science, someone entered the operating room.
"Report: Husband's presence is required in infirmary room # 6." said the ever monotome Pani who wore an unusual uniform.
Quite simply, it was a white business suite for women.
She normally preferred white sunday dresses, but this was good too. No complaints in the looks department.
"So our mysterious guest is finally awake?" replied Theo
"Affirmative."
"And where is Nichola?"
"Standing just outside infirmary room #6. Second wife's mental state is that of fear."
"As expected. *sigh*.... After all this time, she's still not good with strangers. Is she wearing her mummy uniform?"
"Negative. As per husband's orders, personnel assigned to second wife has prevented her from wearing said outfit."
"Very good. She may not like it, but our mysterious guest may be her child. Better meet her properly." said Theo as he stood up and made his way to the exit.

But before he could leave the operating room, the beet red Pani grabbed his hand while lifting her skirt.
"Request: P-please...."
Theo maybe tired and stressed, but his Sexcalibur was never the one to turn away from a challenge.
Without any hesitation, he drew his sword and plunged into Pani's battlefield with the wrath of a fierce god.
As the only one in the harem who was not pregnant, Pani was clearly feeling a bit impatient. Add the fact that her body was specifically repurposed to make pregnancy easier, her insecurity was to be expected.
For the next 10 minutes, Theo and Pani enjoyed some 'quality time' inside the operating room where the mutilated Juno was busy assimilating his tech.
Quite a bizarre place to have a quickie.
After the 4th shot of his BFG, the couple walked hand in hand to the infirmary room.
There they were met by a peculiar sight.
Siting on the floor on a fetal position was his second waifu Nichola Rasputin. Beside her was Himiko Yagyu who was gently patting the former on the head.
"I understand you are terrified right now Nicky but you have to be strong. You need to meet this 'so called daughter' of yours to get your answers right?" said Himiko in a gentle voice.
"I know that in my head, but I cant help but feel scared! What if that girl is an evil clone from the future and its sole purpose is to replace me in order to rewrite history?!" replied Nichola.
"Er... you watch way too many movies. And besides, if she is suppose to replace you, they did a bad job at copying you. She's taller and older than you. Her skin is darker than your pale white and she has large breasts."
"GAH! You just had to go there!"
Theo could not help but feel warm and tingly inside as he observed the weird duo.
On the surface, there was nothing in common between the socially impaired Nichola and the sporty samurai girl Himiko.
This may come as a surprise, but Himiko was once a Hikikomori or Social Recluse for the non-weebs in the audience.
Apparently, she broke under the immense pressure of living up to the Yagyu name and locked herself in her room for at least 2 years. It was thanks to her boyfriend Makoto Tenjou that she was able to bring herself from the brink.
It was this background that allowed the two to sympathize with each other.
Theo couldnt help but feel a fair bit of guilt for slaughtering the Tenjou Group. He'll try to do right by them in the future.
FYI: He knew very well that they'll never forgive him.
Such was the unfortunate reality of the world.
"I see you 2 are getting along well." said Theo as he and Pani approached the 2.
Himiko made a 'Tch. You again.' face but kept her dissatisfaction inside.
"Your husband is here Nicky. You'll be fine." said Himiko while poking Nichola in her sides.
On cue, an out of character Nichola jumped into Theo's arms. Almost immediately, he could feel her whole body shivering.
It seemed that she was truly afraid.
"Nichola, I would love to bone you right now, but Pani has helped me reached enlightenment a few minutes ago. I'll refrain for now." said Theo while caressing Nichola's petite ass.
Surprisingly, Nichola didn't resist. She simply buried her face into his chest.
Was she really that afraid?
"Is sex the only thing you ever think of?!" asked the annoyed Himiko.
"You're not the one to talk virgin. Peeking while I'm banging my wives is a distasteful hobby. As long as you are in my domain, you cant escape my cameras!"
"WHA-?!"
"If you're that interested, why not join us next time?"
"S-S-S-SHUT YOUR FACE YOU PERVERT!"
As they began to bicker, room #6's door violently opened and a person that looked almost like Nichola stepped out.
"Will you guys stop flirting already?! Geez Papa! You still think with your dick even 20 years in the past! We have more important things to talk about! Get in here already!" roared Nichola 2.0 with a voice filled with oppressive authority.
Compelled by the overwhelming presence, everyone silently entered the room and sat on the floor like good little children
"*sigh*.... I apologize for the outburst but it was your fault papa. You've always been way too playful. I'll stop here before I start nagging. All of you have questions, correct? I'll answer everything that isn't classified information." said Nichola 2.0 in a very commander-ish manner.
Technically speaking, she was the oldest in the room.
Nichola's hand shot up immediately.
"A-are you really my daughter?"
"The big question right out of the gates huh. Well, I'm sure you already ran tests on me. I'm not exactly an expert but I'm pretty sure that mana signatures of a child is at least 50% similar to that of one parent. And since we look like each other, I assume I meet the requirements. As for the science side of things, Papa should have done some tests while I was asleep." replied Nichola 2.0
"Technically, it was a doctor friend of mine that did the test. But yeah, the DNA tests shows that you are definitely share genes that belong to me and Nichola." said Theo.
"Well, there you go mama. But just in case you still have doubts, I have one final test to perform. Does anyone have a pen or something?"
On cue, one of the Eisenmadchen maids appeared out thin air and handed Nichola 2.0 a black marker. As quickly as she appeared, she disappeared.
Theo was a bit worried that his elite heavy vanguard troopers were becoming ninjas.
Mind you, ninjas are awesome and all but he designed them to be living meat grinders, not silent daggers.
"Papa, please come here. I'll be writing my full name on your palm then we'll have mama name the me in her belly. Naturally, you must promise that the name will be permanent." said Nichola 2.0 as she pulled Theo to her.
Fun Fact about Nichola 2.0: She has a body of a seasoned warrior.
From her lean yet muscular frame (minus her large boobs) to the scars in various spots on her body, everything pointed to a lifestyle filled with conflict.
And that has him worried for the future.
Just what was the state of the world she lived in?
Theo pondered on this while Nichola 2.0 wrote her name on his hand.
It followed the naming set by his twins which had 2 names followed by the Lorne family name. But more importantly, it was a name Theo would greatly approve of.
"Mama, please do the honors. Give your child a name." said Nichola 2.0
"Just me? Shouldn't me and Theo discuss this a little?" asked Nichola 1.0
"Don't mind me. I have confidence in your naming abilities. And besides, if what our supposed daughter is correct, then the name that you'll be choosing will be to my tastes." replied Theo.
"Ugh. Pressure much."
After about 30 seconds of making cute thinking faces, Nichola 1.0 finally gave her answer.
"How about Aveline Maria? Her nickname would probably be Ave Maria. It sounds very Ecclesiarchy-ish and its pretty cute to boot?"
With a gentle smile, Theo showed what was written on his hand.
True enough, there was the full name, the nickname and even the minor comments.
Someone probably instructed Ave Maria on exactly what to do.
Probably Theo himself. It did smell like something he'd cook up.
"Well, there you have it. I am Aveline Maria Lorne but most people call me Maria. Ave Maria is is a bit too long for a nickname. And while I'm happy to know more about mama before she became a household name, there is a hidden crisis that could potentially destroy the world. We must see to it ASAP" said Maria in all seriousness.
"And this has something to do with Vivi's penis?" asked Theo
"More specifically, it's the thing inside his testicles in combination with a serious of annoying coincidences that will eventually put the world in danger. And this will all start with the Ally of Justice riots. They will be sneaking in a magical bomb that could level the city. We must stop it."
"Err.... That kind of happened a week ago."
"Eh?!"
Theo recounted to Maria the entire Ally of Justice incident and how she was inside a 5000 year old coffin that was suppose to be the bomb.
Naturally, Maria did not like what she heard.
"THE TIME TRAVEL WAS OFF BY 5000 YEARS?! And the incidents has already started?! ....... Well .... Shit."
The moment Theo heard his favorite 'Well... Shit' phrase, he fully accepted the fact that Maria was most certainly his child.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

Chaos uploaded
At year 2100, there was a new game that was being developed: "Realms of chaos" With cutting edge technology, realistic physics(At least, as far as fantasy-medieval worlds goes), and immersion to the point one could believe it was real, it is destined to become world-wide famous. Two siblings, Nysa and Inas, received the right of beta-testing the game, along with other players...although with the beta-test, many difficulties came together with it: Unfair enemies, lack of clues, lack of linear paths, and above all, no set of rules of how one should play. Nysa, being the less competitive out of the two siblings, has decided to play the game just for fun.But little does she knows how much the action of a single player, who just wants to explore and have fun, can change the realm of chaos. This is my first story, and I'll upload whenever I manage to get through the writers' block.Due to college starting, uploads might be erratic. Feel free to review and comment!
