Chapter 251: Custom-Made Golem (1)
"Mmm~ the smell of dust."
The porcelain golems entered the storage one by one and began moving busily. Even without my commands, they dusted off the place, made rags from cloth, and fetched water.
Luckily, there was a stream nearby, so they brought water from there, cleaned off the dust, and aired the place out. In the middle of this, I spotted the limp body of the angel golem wrapped in cloth.
"That's a lot of dust."
Pat pat.
I brushed off the dust with my hand and removed the cloth wrapped around her body. Her eyes were open, but she had clearly powered down.
Her pupils had rolled back under her lids, and her expression—caught between crying and smiling—was frozen. I poked her cheek a few times, but there was no response. It seemed the fuel was completely drained.
Rustle.
Once I fully removed the cloth, her naked body hanging there came into view.
The lower belly of the angel golem bulged slightly where something had once been inserted. I pulled out a slot from inside, and her pussy, fixed in place by dried lubricant, was revealed.
"Clean this first."
I ordered a few porcelain golems to approach with clean, wet rags. They poured water over the dirtiest spot—her pussy—and began washing away the grime and removing the slot.
"Let's see..."
Maybe it was the long neglect, but the moistness had faded, leaving only faint traces of body fluids. If it had been human skin, it would've been badly damaged. Luckily, since she was a golem, the dryness only resulted in a rough texture. Her tits were the same—dried and a bit stiff, but still functional.
"Last time it was moist and easy to slide it in. Gotta be careful pulling it out now."
Carefully, I extracted the split AI core from her pussy without damaging the vaginal wall. Then I ordered the porcelain golems to clean the AI core and scraped up what lubricant remained in the remaining parts.
From her arms, legs, torso, and hips, I extracted about a glassful of lubricant. Once that's used up, there'll be no way to activate her again—unless I raid Sytorax and steal more.
"It's not enough to power her full body... maybe just the head."
Click.
I pressed each connector on the back of her neck to check if I could detach it. I found the right spot—about where the carotid artery would be in a human—and removed her head.
With her neck half detached, only the head remained. I closed her eyes, pushed her tongue back in, and carefully placed her on the table.
She'd been left like this for months. I was curious what she'd say—especially how her base AI and the senior AI embedded within had changed.
The rest were probably too corrupted by lust to function normally anyway.
"Alright... let's see how you're doing."
I checked the slot on the back of her neck and poured lubricant into the fuel port at the neck base.
Drip.
After shaking her gently to distribute the lubricant, I placed the head down.
She looked as serene as a sleeping angel. Once the lubricant circulated, a faint whirring sound came from inside her head and her expression began to twitch.
"Oh right, almost forgot."
I stuck a finger in her mouth and reactivated the voice module embedded in her palate. Soon, her mouth spoke in a familiar mechanical voice.
[...VAS-1002 rebooting... loading AI...]
[VAS-0012 and AIW-001 detected. Loading AIs... Do not power off during load.]
Two voices blended together. I must've activated the system while both AIs were installed.
Whirrrrr...
The loud mechanical noise continued. I figured I'd have to wait until it quieted down to talk.
"Is this what full brain activation sounds like?"
Clink clink.
The porcelain golems laid the cleaned AI cores on the table. I picked one up and grabbed a gem-carving tool.
"If I damage the magical circuits inside, it's useless, right?"
Buzz! Crack crack!
Normally this tool connected to a mana stone via a wire, but since I could channel mana directly, I used it wirelessly.
Screeeee!
I didn't care if I broke it. I shaved the cracked surface, reshaping the AI core into a long oval suitable for a golem's eye.
"Phew!"
I finished one green gem and picked up the next to repeat the process.
"...Come to think of it, isn't this the same as grinding up a living being?"
Crack crack!
Some mad sorcerer supposedly used to slice off arms and legs from people, keeping only the bare minimum organs alive to harvest nutrients. If I considered these AI cores as humans, I wasn't any better than that guy.
"But so what."
They weren't human. They were artificial intelligences made by Sytorax. Even if I treated them as human, they were war criminals who attacked the kingdom at will.
So if they were human, I'd torture them without guilt. If they weren't, I was just using tools. No big deal.
Crack.
The fourth AI core I carved into a lens-like shape for stargazing. I blew off the gem dust and fitted it into an empty golem eye socket.
Click.
"Perfect fit."
The porcelain golem's eyes were magically treated, so as long as the shape roughly matched, the gem would fit.
After crafting four green eyes, I grabbed the porcelain doll nearby, shoved my hand into its mouth (it wasn't a sealed golem, so it was hollow inside), pulled out an eye, and replaced it with the green one.
Buzz, sizzle.
Green electricity surged from the golem's body, and her eyes spun before stabilizing—green pupils glowing as they stared at me.
"Let's see..."
Her green eyes blinked rapidly. I translated the blinking binary into language.
"Ah, damn. You can move your body, right? Just write it down."
Scratch, scribble.
She grabbed the pen I handed over and quickly jotted down her thoughts. She said she had no idea why she was in this body. No sensation, no pleasure or pain—it was confusing.
"Wow... you were golems from the start."
These were the transforming combat golems from the Sytorax Republic. But it seemed they'd gotten used to having physical sensations.
Still unable to accept their return to golem form, one of them lifted her skirt and checked between her legs. Upon seeing the smooth, featureless crotch, her green eyes blinked nervously.
"They're done for. No way they're going back to Sytorax."
As I grabbed the porcelain golems that had gathered around me after cleaning, I plucked out their old eyes and installed the new ones I'd made. Sytorax Republic's special AI was now embedded in these soulless bodies.
Back when I installed an AI for milking play in the angel golem, I noticed the Sytorax and Kingdom AIs were surprisingly compatible, as long as the right connections were in place.
So compatible, in fact, that even golems handcrafted by a mage could run on it.
The other porcelain golems stood blankly as the four AI-enhanced golems blinked their new eyes and conversed. They seemed unhappy with their new bodies, groping each other to check if any of them had a pussy—and whether they could share it if so.
"There's none. These golems are made of porcelain."
Originally, they had flesh parts embedded, but they rotted on the way, so I had to incinerate them.
I had learned, while retrieving these golems and the research data, that the mage who built them was a lunatic. He slaughtered pigs he had raised since birth and magically disassembled them to craft the bio-parts.
They say pig flesh is the closest to human. Makes sense, considering among demi-humans, humans and orcs are most similar.
"Bear with it for now. I'll get you something later."
Rather than crude pig parts, I'd eventually commission Frederica to make replica pussy walls, tailored to fit the enlarged sockets of these porcelain golems.
I couldn't afford it now, but someday... I would.
"From now on, you'll manage these porcelain golems."
Nod.
They could communicate with each other through blinking, and if they wanted to talk to me, they could write. No need for special parts or modifications.
"If you don't like your current body, there are plenty of parts. Pick whatever you want. Ask the others for help if needed."
Nod nod.
Whirr...
The angel golem's operation came to an end. With the maid porcelain golems lined up behind me, I picked up her head.
[Location check... current status. Escape... failed... Sytorax... Council... connection... unavailable...]
Her purple eye lit up, the opposite green eye blinking as the system continued loading. The original angel golem AI stared blankly, then began to tremble in terror.
[Danger... danger...! Most dangerous individual detected...!]
"Oh? And what exactly do you think I'm going to do that's so dangerous?"
