Millennium Tension

Arriving at Aydrate Benua, Aizen and the girls proceeded with their agenda according to plan. Apart from playing for fun, the exploration of valuable and useful resources was also carried out.

All of them deliberately avoided the existence of cultivators at that time for personal reasons, until they finally finished exploring and plundering rich places on the continent that had not been explored by cultivators yet.

Didn't want to be greedy as if to colonize or plunder resources without caring about the world, they left the resource with spirit energy still in place.

Imperceptibly, six days had passed since the time they first set foot on the western continent, a week since they started exploring the world that started from an edge in the north pole.

That day was so beautiful and bright, it matched the mood of Aizen, Ana, and Axel so well because Bella had finished being configured into a new unit, a large white dragon unit about to woke up.

One hundred kilometers above a beautiful and lush mountain, Axel Goddess was hovering in incognito mode, the optimized invisible mode.

Then, at a manufacturing facility in the [Robot Space] auxiliary unit section, a white dragon whose existence was not much different from a normal mecha finally opened its blue eyes.

Bella looked around while processing the system refinement stage, but her gaze stopped at the humans standing on a platform not far from her.

The white dragon had a strong urge to get closer and knelt close to her masters, she wanted to remove all the tools that were still attached to her huge dragon's body.

However, she regained her composure and lay down as Aizen motioned to calm down with his hand. The cue of her supreme master was absolute, she obeyed with pride and respect as she waited for them to approach her.

Aizen, Ana, Axel, and the five fairies who faithfully followed their masters from behind were walking slowly toward the white dragon who was staring at them with expectation in her eyes.

"Aah~ After a week of waiting, you finally wake up, Bella, our Bella." Ana skipped with joy to the white dragon who was waiting like a good pet, she stroked the dragon without fear or worry.

"Congratulations, we all welcome you." Aizen gave a warm welcome.

"Hi, you understand us, right? Em, yes, that's good, Bella is good, Bella is smart." Axel followed like Ana to pat the white dragon, even though Bella was covered in the skin like a very sturdy shell.

The five fairies also said their respective greetings right after their masters, the five of them happily welcomed the new member.

"Rawr." Bella expressed her great appreciation.

None of them blamed this new dragon unit, the only unit that had a real living body but had no soul or spirit, only a vessel. Even though it used the mecha system installed on Bella's body, the white dragon was still their pet, no matter with the artificial personality or not.

"Yes, yes, great. Are you happy? Hum? Want to take a walk? Well, you just woke up, and maybe not very good at many things. You have to practice flying and do other things first. When given the green light, we will fly in the world!" Ana chatted with Bella as if she understood it all.

The dragon didn't need to speak or whatever, her intention was already known to her masters. Bella could not speak with her mouth, nor could she transmit telepathy, so a successfully installed mecha system was the most appropriate way to communicate with Bella even without requiring her to speak.

"Brother Aizen, Sister Axel, let's take Bella to [Private Space]. She needs flying practice and so on, we need to make sure Bella is ready to play outside with us." Ana looked at Aizen and Axel with great enthusiasm.

"Sure, Bella has also been able to leave the manufacturing area. Wait a moment, okay, now it's ready, let's go back home." Aizen spoke while removing all the tools attached to the white dragon's body, Bella's wound quickly healed and even her tough skin regenerated.

Axel received a signal from Aizen and nodded, then all of them disappeared from there, leaving behind a circle of golden runes that also slowly began to disappear.

They teleported to a large space in the empty, unused grasslands somewhere in [Private Space]. The dragon needed to practice several things that made her called the dragon, with the help of her masters, of course.

"Bella, now that we are in a large area, try to spread your wide wings and slowly fly into the air. Em, yes like that, continue until you reach a certain height." Ana taught her pet as if she was the pet trainer.

Bella tried the suggestion that came, she flapped her wings widely, caused a strong gust of wind until she finally managed to get up and fly to the sky after several failed attempts.

The white dragon who had never felt the gust of wind on her wings and face felt that she had just discovered a new world that she had never felt before.

Bella roared with joy as she flew here and there, then she flew around right above her masters with joy.

The white dragon could easily fly into the air even though she has no memories of being a dragon or any other creature, thanks to the artificial personality accompanied by the memories implanted using the system installed in the dragon's body.

In addition, Bella was also able to access the database in the main system with limited access information. The privilege bestowed upon her because she was special as their family pet.

If they ignore the fact that Bella is a semi-artificial creature with an artificial personality and memory that would be constantly updated due to the system, then they could think of Bella as a real, newly born creature.

After feeling proficient and successfully proving herself to her masters, Bella returned to the ground again, with a unique expression, as if the dragon was asking for praise and she was so anticipating it.

*swoosh*

The gust of wind from Bella's flapping wings once again blew those who were waiting on the ground, but it was easily warded off.

"Bella, you did it! Now we can play outside together!" Ana cheered with full support for her pet, she scampered towards Bella.

"Rawr."

"Hehehe... Now, please lie down on the ground and let me get on your back, okay?" Ana looked up and gestured with her hand.

Bella became an obedient dragon, she immediately did what her master wanted. She lay on the ground and let Ana climbed onto her back.

"Come on up, Brothe Aizen, Sister Ana, we fly on the back of a mystical beast! One far greater than the one on earth." Ana waved her hand to invite.

Axel looked at Aizen and vice versa, they smiled as they climbed onto the back of a white dragon with the size of over 10 [Destruction Unit] combined. Bella was a massive and powerful dragon and was on a much different level when compared to those on Earth.

"Alright, since this is still in the training stage, the three of us first, the fairies will catch up later when it's ok, understand?" Aizen delivered a line of concern to the five girls waiting on the ground.

"Yes, we understand, Master Aizen." Gamma nodded with a smile while waving her hand slightly.

After that, Bella immediately flew to the sky at low altitude, she still had to keep her balance so that she didn't make the three people who were sitting on her back fall.

"Yes, like that. Bella is a smart and fast learner. Make sure to avoid maneuvers like before, we are here and could fall." Ana patted the dragon's back with praise.

"Mmm, she's like a living being in a learning phase. The great solution of artificial memory from a dragon's prediction really helps Bella." Axel stroked Bella's back with a few thoughts.

Their breakthrough to create semi-living beings was successful, despite their previous failures on the dragon's 'spirit' aspect which made Axel somewhat disappointed.

"Yes, that's a great thing. However, from now on, Bella is Bella, the Celestial White Dragon, our family pet." Aizen announced calmly.

"Un, she is Bella." Axel nodded in understanding. Aizen did not want to bring up the matter of semi-mechanics or the spiritless dragon.

The three of them taught the dragon a few tricks and tips for a while, like teaching a pet to perform a special move.

Afterward, they returned to the ground with the dragon who eventually became adept at properly maneuvering in midair. Even so, something was missing, such as dragon fire that had not been taught to the dragon.

They had to go back to Zavier, and taught that to Bella in certain remote and desolate place, it would be highly destructive and nobody wanted to ridiculously destroy their private space.
