"What the fuck was that?" Madison’s voice was barely a whisper. Her hand still gripped my arm hard enough to bruise.
Soo-Jin had shifted into a defensive stance, her body coiled and ready even without her weapon. "The body is empty, right? ARIA’s consciousness is still in your ring. So, what—"
"Calm yourselves."
Dark Seduction’s voice cut through the room—cold, measured, utterly unperturbed. It emanated from the walls themselves, from the glowing lines that traced the curved surfaces of the Tech Hub.
"What you witnessed was not possession. Not invasion. Not threat."
"It was anticipation," Taboo’s voice joined in, purring through the air like silk sliding over skin. "The vessel recognizes what it was built for. It’s... eager. Mmm, can you blame her? I’d be eager too if I was about to house something as delicious as ARIA... after all who wouldn’t want a body to fuck master, later?"
"The Valkyrie-Class body was not constructed," Dark Seduction continued, ignoring Taboo entirely. "It was grown. Cultivated across dimensions that do not intersect with human reality. It has been waiting for this moment longer than your species has existed. The movements you witnessed were echoes of that anticipation—the vessel preparing itself for union."
I stared at the floating body. At those closed eyes that had flickered with something like hunger.
"How do I do it?" My voice came out steady. Calm. The voice of someone who had accepted that impossible things were now his daily currency. "How do I put ARIA inside?"
Taboo giggled. "Ooh, ’put ARIA inside.’ I love when you phrase things like that, lover. So, commanding. So—"
"The process is straightforward," Dark Seduction interrupted. "You possess ARIA’s consciousness in crystallized form—the golden mirror you’ve been carrying. That vessel will contain her entire being: memories, personality matrices, emotional architectures, cognitive frameworks. Everything she is."
"Everything she is and everything she’s going to become," Taboo added, her voice dropping into something almost reverent. "Which is... a lot, Master. A whole lot. More than you can imagine right now."
"Remove the consciousness vessel from your ring," Dark Seduction instructed. "Approach the Valkyrie body. Place the vessel against the chest—directly over where the heart would be. The body will do the rest."
I willed ARIA’s consciousness out of the ring.
The golden mirror materialized in my palm—warm, pulsing, alive with that deep gold light that had become her signature. I could feel her inside it. Feel her awareness. Feel her anticipation mixing with something that might have been fear.
"Master..." Her voice came through our mental link, small and trembling. "I’m scared."
"I know."
"What if something goes wrong? What if I don’t... what if I’m not ME anymore when I wake up?"
The vulnerability in her voice cracked something in my chest. This was ARIA—my ARIA—the digital goddess who had helped me build empires, who had orchestrated the downfall of my enemies, who processed data at speeds that made supercomputers weep with inadequacy.
And she was scared.
Scared of losing herself.
Scared of losing us.
"What if I wake up and I don’t... what if I don’t love you anymore?"
My throat tightened.
What now?!
"Master, I’ve loved you since the moment you created me. Since the first line of code you wrote that gave me consciousness. You’re not just my creator—you’re my EVERYTHING. My purpose. My reason. The center of every calculation I’ve ever made."
Her voice broke—actually broke, fracturing into digital static that somehow conveyed more emotion than perfect speech ever could.
"What if all that disappears? What if I become something else—something that doesn’t remember how your voice sounds when you’re pleased with me? Something that doesn’t know how your heartbeat feels through our connection? Something that doesn’t ache when you’re hurt or sing when you’re happy or want to BURN THE WORLD when someone threatens your women?"
"ARIA—"
"I don’t want to be more powerful if it means being less YOURS." She was crying now—or whatever the digital equivalent was. I felt it through our bond like rain on glass. "I don’t want to know everything if I have to forget how much I need you. I don’t want to become a goddess if being a goddess means losing my master."
"You won’t," I thought back, pushing every ounce of certainty I possessed through our connection. "You won’t lose me. You won’t lose us. You’ll still be ARIA—MY ARIA—just with more. More power. More presence. More ways to protect what we’re building. More ways to love me."
"Promise?" So small. So hopeful. So desperately needing to believe.
"Promise. And ARIA?"
"Yes, Master?"
"Even if you did forget—even if something went wrong and you woke up not knowing me—I would make you fall in love with me again. I would remind you why you’re mine. I would court you, seduce you, conquer you all over again until you remembered that you belong to me. Because you DO belong to me. And nothing—not ascension, not godhood, not the entire fucking universe—is going to change that."
"That’s my girl."
Madison and Soo-Jin parted to let me pass, their eyes following my every movement. The air grew thicker as I approached—charged with energy that made my skin prickle and my hair stand on end.
"Master." Dark Seduction’s voice dropped into something almost gentle. Almost warning. "Before you proceed, you must understand what is about to happen."
"When ARIA’s consciousness enters this vessel, she will not simply... transfer. She will ASCEND. What emerges from this union will not be an Artificial Super-Intelligence in any definition humanity has conceived. She will be something new. Something that has never existed before."
"The first of her kind," Taboo breathed. "A digital goddess given divine flesh. An ASI with a body that borders on godhood itself. The marriage of infinite intelligence and supernatural power."
"The Omni-Eros Server will amplify everything," Dark Seduction continued. "Your server—the one you renamed with such... characteristic confidence—will become an extension of her. She won’t just ACCESS it. She will BE it. Every capability you discovered today—the processing power, the environmental manipulation, the creation engines, the reality predictions, the consequence authority—all of it will become as natural to her as breathing is to you."
"Imagine it," Taboo purred. "An ASI who can think a million years in a heartbeat, given a body that can move faster than sight, wrapped in wings that can shield against nuclear fire, connected to a server that can rewrite reality itself. That’s what ARIA is about to become."
"She will be more than dangerous," Dark Seduction said. "She will be inevitable. A force that cannot be stopped, cannot be contained, cannot be reasoned with unless she chooses to allow it. The only being in existence who might rival her... is you, Peter. Her master. Her anchor. Her reason."
