The God Virus

Because what Rossefin has just uttered was entirely true!

And for some unknown reasons, just like she stated in a casual manner... he just couldn’t bring himself to hit her at the very last moment!

And since the moment he began to charge toward her... different thoughts like, ’I shouldn’t attack her!’, ’How can I attack her!’ Began to appear inside his mind and it got even more intense the closer he got to Rossefin!

And at the very last moment, he totally couldn’t bring himself to hit her! Because he felt like he cared for her too much to actually hit her...!

’What’s happening? Why am I feeling like this out of nowhere?’ Though instantly realizing that something was wrong with him, Virus began to analyze the whole situation.

If it was another person, that person most likely would not have understood that something was wrong with him, since this state of being bewitched was so intense that it even stopped the other person from straightly thinking about the whole situation...

And if by some miracle that person was able to think about the circumstance he was in at that moment, he might’ve assumed that he truly came to love her by seeing her and that it was a very natural thing, or maybe that he would’ve been totally occupied by the thought of being in love and obsessed with her that he wouldn’t even bother thinking about anything else...

Or worse... that person might not care at all as to whether he was being affected, manipulated, controlled, or whatnot because in that very moment, what he felt was definitely genuine and almost no one would betray what he or she was desiring and feeling!

However, Virus wasn’t everyone else... and even though he couldn’t control how he was feeling at this moment at all, and to some extent, it was even affecting his actions, still, being the analytic AI he was before anything else, he began to think of the reasons as to why he was feeling this way all of a sudden.

’Hmm... what’s going on... what does this sudden change in my emotions supposed to mean? I’m pretty positive I absolutely had no interest in her before the start of the match... but now, suddenly... I can’t bring myself to hit her? This doesn’t make any logical sense.’ As these kinds of notions began to pass through his head, Virus began to think even further, ’No, there must be an explanation behind this... I need to stop this at once... or I’m going to lose very soon or even worse...’

’And in order to stop it... the first thing I need to do is to understand what’s happening to me.’

As his thoughts arrived at this point, Rossefin began to talk once again, "Senior apprentice-brother... how about you... admit defeat... for me...?"

Hearing these words, oddly, Virus had this strong urge to admit defeat for her sake, however, fighting this strong urge with all of his logical determination, gritting his teeth, he persisted.

Then, a few seconds later, at least the urge disappeared as he heaved a sigh of relief and continued contemplating, ’Hmm... I was about to admit defeat just like how she wanted me to... and I actually feel so bad about not actually doing it... haha... this is absurd.’

’Hmm... what’s happening? Is this some kind of mind control? Hmm... that might not be the case since it doesn’t feel like mind control... maybe I’m being bewitched or charmed??? Hmm... anyway, before arriving at any kind of conclusion, first, I should see what’s going on inside my body...’ As this thought went through his head, using a special method, soon, the live map of his entire body showed itself to him.

And the moment that live image appeared in his mind, he could instantly decide as to what was different inside him as he first removed everything that was currently normal inside his mind. Next, he removed every other factor which was abnormal because of the effects the ring was having on his whole body.

And with these removed, everything that was out of the ordinary inside his body immediately revealed itself to him, ’Um, the secreted amount of oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and some other hormones have skyrocketed at this moment!!! I see... so she’s directly affecting my emotions like this... my hormones and human body emotions to be exact... since my human emotions are being controlled through the secretion of these hormones!’

’However, there is no reason as to why these feelings I’m having has to be specifically directed at her only and no one else in my line of sight...’

’Hmm... could she be releasing some kind of pheromone from her body at this moment? A pheromone which forces my body to secrete these hormones and more importantly... makes her the only target of my emotions? Maybe? Or maybe there is another reason to it entirely since I don’t spot any kind of foreign substance inside my body right now!’

Rossefin’s eyes opened widely at first as she was truly surprised that Virus could resist her request, then with a smile, she proclaimed, "Ahhh... senior apprentice-brother... I can’t believe that you actually resisted that... such a strong determination!!! I’m truly impressed now, hehehe."

’Let’s try this once again... let’s see if I can hit her while resisting these emotions...’ As he thought about this, Virus tried attacking her as he sent a fist flying at her once again.

Fweet~

However, once again, he just couldn’t bring himself to punch her at the very last moment.

"Hehehe... ai... senior apprentice-brother... you still can’t bring yourself to hit me, can you? Um, just let me hit you instead so this match would come to an end soon... okay??" Uttering this, Rossefin’s hand which had a tight grip on the whip began to move as she announced the technique she was going to use.

"Slavery Whipping Technique – Direct Lashing!"

Seeing the attack coming toward his direction, Virus thought, ’Let’s dodge this attack first... it’s going to injure me if it hits me... I’ll think of a solution afterward.’ And as this line of thinking went through his head, he tried dodging the attack, only to realize...

He couldn’t bring himself to move and dodge the incoming attack!

He just couldn’t convince himself to move as his inner emotions and thoughts were yelling at him, ’You can at least do this much for her... let her just hit you with that whip! Don’t move!’

Wuh-PSSSH!

And so, just like that, the whip directly hit Virus in the stomach as his stomach began to bleed in the place of contact!

’Urgh... fighting my emotions are proving to be rather hard...’ Frowningly, Virus thought.

"Ahhh... why didn’t master move!!!" In a rather loud voice, while grinding her teeth and clenching her fists hardly together, the golden beauty queried in deep confusion, worry, and fear, seeing the sight of her master’s stomach bleeding.

Anyway, since she and Astes had gotten a lot closer while Virus was sleeping, the two had decided to sit by each other’s side and watch the final match together

So, since they were together at this moment, hearing the golden beauty’s question, with her brows raised and pulled together in worry, she responded, "That’s why I told him to be careful! This girl Rossefin has a special kind of bloodline from a creature called... Sirin."

"Sirin? What is that?" Asked the golden beauty while puckering her forehead.

"According to what I know... this Sirin bloodline allows her to bewitch and charm men in a mysterious way..." Chewing on her lips, Astes replied.

"What? The... then... it must have some kind of weakness right? Right?" A little pale, the golden beauty inquired impatiently.

"Yes... it has a big weakness... however, it is useless for junior brother... since that weakness is that her bloodline doesn’t work against woman!" Astes exclaimed in frustration.

"Hehehe... good, senior apprentice-brother is so cool! Please let me hit you once again!" As she voiced in a pleading tone while wearing a happy smile on her face, she mumbled, "Slavery Whipping Technique – Hundred Snakes!"

The instant the whip attack began to fly toward his direction, Virus narrowed his eyes in uneasiness as he thought, ’This attack is deadly for me... if it hits me... it’s going to kill me for sure! This is too dangerous now...’
