CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 150 - MAID ORDER TRUE ABILITIES

The life story of a black hole appeared before me.

The entity that was born from another world and could move from world to world at will had consumed a planet that contained Gods and Goddesses several times.

Thanks to consuming a planet filled with magical energy, the black hole was able to evolve into a living, intelligent being. Her existence has even been recognized as a Goddess capable of devouring everything until it is destroyed and nothing remains.

From the system screen that appeared in front of me, my biggest plan at the moment was to utilize her power as my backup source of magical energy after my Maid Order abilities were still downgrade version.

Like an ability that is still unaware of its Master’s existence, the Maid Order’s abilities are still not as developed as when I was in the Narzik World.

This is similar to installing a trial program that only works for a month before I can use it for free with limited functionality, or pay for a subscription to access its premium features.

Yes, right now, my Maid Order abilities are in such free-trial times.

I don’t know how long my Maid Order ability will remain at its most basic function.

What I need right now is the full-access ability of the Maid Order that can make me return to my prime when I was in the Narzik World.

It’s a bit sad indeed, but I have to get through this first with the limited abilities of the Maid Order.

Hermione kept glancing at me as if she realized I was reading something in front of me. Holding back her curiosity and questions, Hermione stood quietly and played with her hair as if waiting for my decision.

Given my earlier remarks, it would certainly catch Hermione’s attention, as a sage from another world who is always curious about anything unique and interesting. Forming a Master-Maid contract with a black hole would certainly catch her attention.

"Oh, shit..."

"This is really interesting..."

"What should I do, Hermione?" I asked Hermione after seeing the life history of the black hole that had apparently devoured several Overpowered and Overkill Gods from another world.

When hearing my question, Hermione just tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what I was talking about.

"Papa, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Please tell your intentions and purpose clearly so I can understand," Hermione replied in a calm tone and glanced at me.

"Are you still reading something that only you can see?" Hermione continued, understanding the Maid Order’s abilities perfectly.

Nod...

I nodded my head after Hermione’s guess was spot-on. There was no time or room to lie to her. Hermione already knew the ins and outs of the Maid Order’s capabilities from her time in the Narzik World and became my Maid, who tasked to managing the Demon Kingdom.

"Yes, do you want to see it?"

"No need, I don’t want to read something that will make me angry like before."

"Ah, I see. Should I tell you what I’m reading?"

"If Papa doesn’t mind telling me."

"What I’m reading right now... is the history of the black hole that is in front of us at this moment... or someone you think of as a Goddess who devours everything around her. That’s not wrong. In fact, she has devoured everything, including the innocent Gods and Goddesses who live in other worlds and were accidentally devoured their worlds. Like our poor Narzik World," I said, giving Hermione a light and concise explanation.

"Huuumm..." Hermione looked like she was trying to hold back her anger so that it wouldn’t come out and get out of control like before.

The sensitive topic of black holes turned out to be tough for her.

"Well, you could say that her actions as a black hole... are quite skilled, and her abilities are beyond doubt. That’s why I’m thinking of making her a Maid. Do you have any objections to this, Hermione?" I tried not to put too much pressure on Hermione, who still harbored hatred for the black hole and tried to reconcile the two of them for the time being.

"I don’t mind if that’s Papa’s decision."

"Eh, you don’t mind this?"

"Papa, this isn’t the first time I’ve noticed your... unique taste in things that caught my own attention. Having a Goddess as a Maid wouldn’t be so bad, as long as you can control her slightly odd behavior... just like you," Hermione replied, her voice growing softer.

"Sorry if I’m being too weird, Hermione."

"It’s okay, sometimes the thoughts of genius people like Papa... are hard to understand normally."

At times like this, I sometimes get a mix of mockery and sarcasm at the same time.

Making a black hole a maid does sound crazy, but what Hermione said wasn’t wrong either.

However, if I could control the black hole that had disrupted so many other worlds and transform into a Goddess who devoured everything around her, that would give me a new source of magical power beyond my Maid Order abilities.

So far, I have only used portals connected to black holes and utilized their immense gravitational force as a black hole.

"Alright, oh, cute and beautiful black hole..."

"Do you want to make a Master-Maid contract with me?"

Somehow, I sounded like a strange man offering candy to a child playing on the street.

My question seemed suspicious, and I couldn’t help but think that the black hole would reject my offer.

Buzz...

Buzz...

The Maid Order system screen suddenly appeared in front of me like a glitch and made it a little difficult for me to read the information presented to me.

The flickering and blurry writing made me concentrate hard just to read the information being presented to me.

[ System Notification: Are you sure you want to form a Master-Maid contract with this entity? YES/NO ]

My Maid Order ability seemed to be hesitant about this.

I understand that my Maid Order ability is capable of transforming an ordinary woman into a Maid with S to SSS rank abilities.

The problem at the moment is... a Maid whose main body is a black hole.

If her standard abilities alone could cause other worlds to experience an apocalypse, it would put this world in big trouble, to increase her abilities to cause an apocalypse itself.

This risk is too big... and seems fun to do.

Without thinking about the consequences of my actions in the future, I swallowed this greed to gain even greater power.

My hand pressed the system screen in front of my eyes and was ready to make a Master-Maid contract with a black hole.

Buzz...

Buzz...

The system screen in front of me was still glitching and suddenly calmed down after I touched the "YES" button.

[ System Notification: Maid Order discovered the remains of its main system core! ]

[ System Notification: Do you want to make improvements and update your Maid Order capabilities? YES/NO ]

"Huh?!"

"I-Is there a problem, Papa?"

My eyes widened after seeing a system screen giving information about the remains of the Maid Order’s main system core.

This all-devouring black hole...

She holds the main core system of the Maid Order’s abilities.

It felt like she had been waiting for this opportunity, just to become a Maid whose powers could be controlled.

"So that’s what you planned..." I muttered after learning about this calculating black hole’s plan.

Until now, I just found out that my limited Maid Order abilities actually came from an emergency system that separated itself from the main core system.

It is like an emergency system that operates on its own after being disconnected from the internet and runs on a localhost that is offline.

"I understand now..."

"You’ve really been a pain in the ass for me these past few years..."

Beep...

My hand pressed the "YES" button again on the choice given by the Maid Order ability.

Bezz...

Bezz...

[ System Notification: Downloading main system core... 100% ]

[ System Notification: Performing localhost repair with data on main system core... 100% ]

[ System Notification: Re-debug Maid Order... ]

I waited quietly for my Maid Order abilities to be repaired and updated.

Unbeknownst to me, my Maid Order’s weakened abilities were caused by the collapse of the main system core. That’s why I’m much weaker than I was in the Narzik World.

With this main system core, I can at least gain the full, unlimited capabilities of the Maid Order. I’m already tired of the patience and deliberations I’ve been through, just to secure a Master-Maid contract.

After the main core system repaired and renewed my Maid Order abilities, I could at least feel my main power returning.

Beep...

Beep...

[ Maid Order System: Welcome back... Master! ]

While I was thinking about my powers returning, I was surprised by the nostalgic changes to the system screen in front of me.

"Oh, wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a system screen like this."

"Nice to meet you again, my true Maid Order ability," I murmured happily.

[ Maid Order: Nice to see you again, Master. ]

[ Maid Order: Do you feel lonely after parting with the main core system? ]

"Not really lonely, just annoyed with my limited abilities."

Seeing me talking to myself, Hermione sighed as if she knew what had happened to me.

"Papa, I congratulate you on gaining your true Maid Order abilities," Hermione said with a hint of a guess.

[ Maid Order: Ara~ You have formed a contract with another Maid while not connected by the main system core? ]

[ Maid Order: As expected of my Master... already forming a Master-Maid contract in another world. ]

[ Maid Order: I feel like I’m no longer useful to my Master... ]

"..." I could only remain silent after being too happy to see that my true Maid Order abilities had returned.

While I was living in the Narzik World, my Maid Order’s abilities had developed rapidly, becoming an intelligent system capable of responding to conversations like this. An intelligence capable of learning from the information I provided, like Artificial Intelligence in the modern world.

"Don’t worry, you’re still useful."

"By the way, can I make a Master-Maid contract with this entity that once separated us?" I asked my Maid Order ability after merging with its main system core.

[ Maid Order: Upon my return, my first task is to ensure a Master-Maid contract that can be carried out by the Goddess who separated us? ]

[ Maid Order: Master... your taste is always unique for things like this, huh. ]

I felt like I had a sense of deja vu after hearing that from my own abilities.
