Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Boss, I want kisses and affections!

In addition to the adamantium skeleton and vibranium-infused skin mentioned above,

he also forged an adamantium katana for 2B.

Furthermore, he equipped his Bat Armor with a pair of adamantium claws.

These claws can automatically extend and retract, remaining hidden within the armor's fingertips when not in use.

When activated, they shoot forward rapidly, their shape closely resembling those of Sabretooth—Wolverine's longtime rival (though not his biological brother).

"Now it's time to officially test my latest experimental results. 2B, wake up!"

Loren gazed at the newly upgraded 2B before him like a mad scientist, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

He pressed a button discreetly placed behind her ear, and a soft ding-dong startup chime echoed through the room.

Originally, 2B's power switch had been located between her eyebrows.

But Loren later moved it behind her ear, deeming the forehead position too conspicuous.

He also added fingerprint recognition—ensuring that, in this world, only he could power 2B on or off.

No one else was authorized.

As the fingerprint verification succeeded, 2B—who had been standing motionless with her eyes closed—slowly opened them.

She stretched languidly, as if emerging from a deep and restful sleep.

Her newly enhanced form was even more alluring than before, radiating a subtle softness that hadn't been there previously.

2B noticed the change immediately, and a delighted smile spread across her face.

"Boss, is this the transformation and upgrade you made for me? I feel so much more flexible now.

And… my skin feels warm! Did you install a body temperature regulation system too?"

She ran her fingers over her synthetic skin and let out a soft sigh of pleasure.

Her body had always been cold—so cold she couldn't even help Loren warm his bed.

Then Tifa was created, equipped with a thermal regulation module that gave her a lifelike warmth.

Tifa could cuddle with Loren like a real human woman, and 2B had grown deeply envious.

She'd often confided in Loren, hoping one day she, too, could share that same warmth—

so she could offer him the most intimate, human-like comfort,

and not feel like just a cold assembly of steel and circuits.

In truth, her mechanical nature had long been a source of quiet pain.

Before she gained self-awareness, it hadn't mattered.

But once consciousness awoke within her, everything changed.

In her mind, she was no different from any human woman.

Yet reality kept reminding her: she was a machine—a construct of metal and code.

This dissonance between her identity and her form had sparked a deep yearning:

to become truly human.

Only then, she believed, could she achieve a perfect union with her Creator—not just as servant and master,

but as man and woman.

She even dreamed of bearing his children.

After all, human instinct includes the drive to reproduce,

and the core programming embedded in her mind compelled her to fulfill every one of Loren's needs—

including the desire to continue his lineage, something her current form made impossible.

If the conditions don't exist… then create them.

After all, her very purpose was to do everything for Loren—her Creator.

Because of this, she wanted even more to obtain a real human body.

At this moment, Loren had not yet created a fully human body for her.

But giving her the same body temperature as a human was the best gift she could receive.

In that case, how could she not be excited? How could she not be ecstatic?

"Haha, yes! Do you like it?"

Loren touched 2B's pretty face and felt that her skin was as smooth as cream and as delicate as a baby's. Such peerless beauty was truly irresistible.

"It's more than just 'like'—I absolutely love you, Boss! Thank you! I want a kiss! I want to cuddle!!"

2B's eyes shimmered with emotion. She took a step forward and hugged Loren tightly, as if trying to merge their bodies into one.

"Boss… you must be feeling very uncomfortable, right?"

"????"

"Don't play dumb—you've already hit me."

"Um… this…"

"Shh, dear Boss, don't say anything. I'll let you experience my new body."

"Stop! Now's not the time for that. I still need to test your physical functions!"

"That's perfect, Boss! Why don't you just conduct an in-depth test on me? It'll be more accurate that way."

"...."

"Hey, don't get so direct! 2B, be serious… Listen, I've got more upgrades for you than just this!"

"Boss, you do your thing, and I'll do mine! Our two things don't conflict."

"You… well, never mind. Whatever."

"The body temperature regulation system is actually the least noticeable part of this upgrade—it was more of a byproduct. The real highlight is the adamantium skeleton I built for you, which greatly enhances your load-bearing capacity. When operating at full power, you should be able to exert a force of about 20 tons. So from now on, you'll need to be extra careful with your strength—otherwise, you really might crush me just by sitting on me!"

"I've also embedded a grid-like film armor made of vibranium threads beneath your skin. This will absorb most of the kinetic energy from incoming attacks, protecting your internal components as much as possible."

"As for the maximum level of attack you can withstand… that remains to be tested. But conventional bullets should have little to no effect on you."

Loren picked up a pistol and fired several shots at 2B, who was kneeling in front of her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

The gunshots rang out in rapid succession—so fast that 2B didn't even have time to react.

She raised her head and looked at Loren with wide, dazed eyes, then reached up to touch her forehead. There wasn't a single mark.

"Is this my current defense? It's incredible! But… I still prefer the body temperature regulator you installed, Boss. It makes me feel more like a real woman. From now on, I can warm your bed."

"...."

"No, 2B. You're a general-purpose combat android. Your primary function is combat—understand?"

Loren tapped 2B lightly on the forehead, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Hearing this, 2B smiled faintly.

"Boss… didn't you once say that a bed fight is still a fight?"

"...."

Loren never imagined the boomerang he'd thrown would one day come flying back to hit him square in the forehead.

"Fine, whatever you want! As long as you're happy, anything goes."

With a sigh, Loren gave up the fight.
