Chapter 69: The Summoning from the Heavens

  "Miss Fina, please wait here for a moment."

  Having made his decision, Alex immediately stood up and turo the young priestess beside him.

  “Huh? Of course, no problem... But Alex, what are you pnning to do?”

  “I’m going to see if I break through these barriers.”

  “Huh?”

  Fina was taken aback by Alex's response. Along the way, she had already noticed that this young man knew o nothing about magic, so why was he now thinking about breaking through barriers?

  “It’s like this.”

  sidering what he was about to do, Alex thought for a moment and anized his thoughts before speaking again.

  “I have a unique ability that allows me to unicate with and summon beings from other worlds. Right now, I have this power at my disposal, so perhaps I summon someoo solve these problems.”

  Of course, Alex didn’t make any promises. While theoretically, summoning an angel would be much more reassuring than summoning a demon, given his st three disastrously troublesome summonis, Alex couldn’t help but be cautious. The st time, summoning that Little Horse wasn’t too bad, but if he summoned someone like Yzru this time, it would be impossible to expin.

  So, to be safe, Alex po secretly summon on the side first, to figure out who or what he summoned. If it was a being that could be presented, he would bring it out; if not, he would dismiss it.

  Hearing Alex’s expnation, Fina showed a surprised expression.

  “Mr. Alex, you’re actually a summoner?”

  “It’s just a capability I have, not necessarily ohat will succeed.”

  Alex certainly wouldn’t admit that he was a summoner... although he did indeed seem like one.

  “But please be careful, summoning beings from other worlds is extremely dangerous. If you summon something dangerous…”

  “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

  Alex uood what Fina was ed about, but he wasn’t overly worried. Even though he didn’t know what he could summon, he had desighe system himself. Although it wasn’t fully plete, he had sidered most aspects. The missing parts were just details... and now that the "Map of Myriad Dimensions" had automatically filled in those details, he had no choice but to use it.

  After reassuring Fina, Alex turned and walked behind a rge boulder nearby. He reached out his hand, and soon, the Map of Myriad Dimensions appeared in his grasp again, automatically opening. The thick pages slowly turned before stopping.

  “Is this the pce?”

  Looking at the hexagonal copper frame on the page in front of him, Alex he summoning binding required this method to bind the Summoning Soul Stone, and initially, only one binding space was avaible. If pyers wao unlock more, they would o spend money. Acc to the design, pyers could summon up to ten souls simultaneously. Of course… the amount of money required would not be small.

  But for Alex, this was suffit for now.

  With that thought in mind, he raised his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air. Soon, a silver-level Summoning Soul Stone appeared between his fingers. He held the Soul Stone up, squinting as he carefully exami.

  But he found nothing. In Alex’s eyes, the Soul Stone tained no information.

  This was to be expected because when Alex was designing the system, the true nature of the Summoning Soul Stone would only be revealed after the summoning was plete. Moreover, at first, pyers knew very little about the souls they summoned. It was only through fighting alongside them, raising their affe, and gradually deepening their uanding that pyers could unlock the powerful hidden abilities of these souls.

  The only thing that gave Alex some relief was that if he remembered correctly, he had requested the desigo ehat 90% of the souls were set to be cute girls.

  Why, you ask?

  Is that even a question? Without virtual waifus, who’s going to pay for the in-game purchases?

  Now, he could only hope that this world was sistent with his design and that what he summoned would indeed be a cute girl… Of course, it would be eveer if he could bring her out!

  With that thought, Alex silently prayed while pg the Summoning Soul Stoo the recess on the book’s page.

  Click.

  With a soft sound, the Map of Myriad Dimensions closed itself again after the Soul Stone was ied, then began spinning rapidly. Soon, Alex saw a dazzling orb of light streak across the sky like a meteor, desding from the heavens and nding on the Map of Myriad Dimensions.

  Boom!

  With a low rumble, a violent gust of wind exploded outward from the orb of light, so powerful that Alex had to turn his head and raise his hand to shield his face from the flying dust and debris.

  After a moment, the violent air currents gradually calmed down. Alex finally turned his head to look ahead, and his eyes widened in surprise.

  Standing before him was a girl eared to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. She had long, sky-blue hair tied into twin tails that hung down her sides. Her por-like skin, adorable cheeks, sapphire blue eyes, and delicate features made her look as cute as a doll.

  She was dressed in a white outfit with bck edges that resembled a super short dress, paired with white long boots and bck garter stogs. A white cloak was draped over her shoulders.

  However, what intrigued Alex the most were her ears and the rge, dark colr around her neck. Her ears weren’t shaped like a human’s; instead, two long, white, regur objects extended from her hair, resembling some sort of high-tech equipment.

  The enormous colr around the girl's neck was even more shog. It was se that it nearly enveloped her . From the outside, it seemed to be an ordinary metal colr, but bined with the s attached to it, it gave off an uling vibe.

  Additionally, a pair of transparent, beautiful wings that shimmered with a rainbow of colors fluttered gently behind the girl. She silently gazed at Alex and then spoke.

  "Eleic Warfare Universal AYPE β, Ikaros, rep for duty. Please issue your orders, Master."

  "Uh..."

  Staring at the petite, adorable girl before him, Alex was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say. Although he had mentally prepared himself for the possibility that he might not summon a typical ahe appearance of this girl left him at a loss for words.

  Eleic Warfare Universal Angel?

  What kind of nonsense is this?

  And that "TYPE β"—why does it sound like a robot model? Wait, her ears also look like maes? Could it be that I summoned an artificially created angel? Is that even allowed?

  …Well, an artificial angel is still an angel, so I guess there’s no issue!

  Thanks to his previous experieh Little Horse, Alex quickly regained his posure. He internally cursed his system for its absurdity, then smiled slightly and looked at the girl.

  "Hello, Ikaros. My name is Alex. I hope you fight alongside me..."

  "No, it is my duty, Master."

  But before Alex could finish speaking, Ikaros interrupted him, looking anxious.

  "As long as you , I’m willing to do anything!"

  "Uh..."

  Watg Ikaros, Alex was again at a loss for words. Although she referred to herself as aronic Warfare Universal Angel, she was still an angel, and ohat called herself "universal" no less.

  Why did she seem so subservient? With this thought, Alex decided to ask about something else that had piqued his curiosity.

  "By the way, what’s with that colr around your neck?"

  "Ah, this?"

  For some reason, when Alex mentiohe colr, Ikaros’s face lit up with a slight smile.

  "This is the mark of my belonging to you, Master... Please observe, Master..."

  As she spoke, Ikaros grasped the piece of hanging from her colr. To Alex’s astonishment, the ’s lower half suddenly materialized out of thin air, extending and ing around his hand!

  "Through this , you issue ands to me anytime, anywhere, and you also track my movements. That is the purpose of this colr."

  Wait, this doesn’t seem right!

  Looking at the girl happily expining the colr’s funs, Alex was dumbfounded. Even if she wasn’t human, she was still an angel. Why did it feel like he had just adopted a pet?

  And what’s with this colr and setup? What kind of twisted logic is this? Is this really treating someone as a pet? And she seems oddly proud of it?

  Wait, something must be wrong here, right?

  Is the problem with me, or with the world?

  "Excuse me, Ikaros..."

  Alex shook his head, helplessly raising his hand to interrupt the girl. Then, he poio the colr around her neck.

  "Um... you take off the colr? I feel like it’s not quite right..."

  "Remove the colr?!!"

  Before Alex could finish his sentence, Ikaros’s face turned deathly pale. She suddenly k on the ground, looking up at Alex with a frightened expression. It was as if Alex had just said something utterly unfivable.

  "M-Master! Please don’t do that! Please don’t abandon me! I’m willing to do anything, just please don’t do this..."

  "Uh..."

  Seeing the girl staring at him with tearful eyes, Alex felt pletely lost.

  What oh is going on here!?
