Chapter 4341

’Then how come Tezka’s still alive, and why didn’t you ever mention or use any of your alleged god-killer weapons during one of our previous fights?’The Book of Knowledge found Salanoth’s claims hard to believe.

’Because my maker didn’t give a single fuck about my survival!’She snarled.’She just wanted Tezka dead, and if I had to die to fulfill my mission, then so be it. Right after crafting me, that bitch handed me to a sucker and sent me traveling Mogar to look for Tezka while she waited in the safety of her lab.

’She programmed me to fight to the death so that she could reap the fruits of my labor. I was expendable since day one, so I followed her orders in the most roundabout way possible and waited for her to die.

’Once that happened, I was finally free. I stopped looking for Tezka because I had nothing to gain from our fight and because I knew that even my maker’s death didn’t erase the core lines of my programming.

’As for my aces in the hole, I’m forbidden from using them against anyone but Tezka. My maker believed that if I exposed my best abilities, Tezka would have the opportunity to study and prepare against them.

’As I said, that bitch didn’t care about how many times I was defeated or what happened to me as long as I performed my mission. Because of my programming, I couldn’t use my true power even when I went this close to being destroyed.’Salanoth glared at them both.

’Well, Tezka is right in front of us, and your programming won’t help you, but we can. Either you explain how you are supposed to kill Tezka to us, or we bail. Your choice.’Jorl’s heart bled at the idea of losing such a powerful ally, but the Ring of Space wasn’t worth his life.
