All the robots within the force field were eager and prepared, awaiting the liberation by their god. He instructed them to stay alert but made it clear that it might take some time. Nevertheless, they all remained gathered for almost a day, unable to divert their eyes from the location where the god robot had headed.
Suddenly, they all felt the force field becoming increasingly fragile. A commotion spread among them; the god robot was acting at a frightening speed. Suddenly, a frantic and dark fluctuation invaded the force field from a nearby point.
Everyone witnessed a strange humanoid figure emerging, and several robots were bewildered. "What the hell is this... is it a monster made of flesh?!"
Within the force field, which once housed an army of undead, the death energy emanated was enough to kill all plants, beasts, and animals. There wasn’t supposed to be anything alive in this place. Thus, all were speechless, as they had never seen something alive that wasn’t a robot within their world.
One must remember that even the robots that took part in decimating the Demon Lord... Lady’s army did that during the time they didn’t have consciousness and sentience. They only gained sentience much later when everything inside the force field had long been dead.
"That bag of flesh is the so-called living races our god spoke of..." whispered an elder robot, contemplative.
Some shared the same understanding, raising their weapons and uttering war cries. Soon, a large army rushed toward the invader. Then, in the next second, the distinct phenomena of their god made them freeze.
They were all in a state of shock for a few minutes until all the phenomena ceased. Right after, from above, the bag of flesh fell toward the planet. Confusion reigned, and no one understood what was happening until an elder robot spotted a small janitorial robot very close to the bag of flesh.
He personally helped the god robot enhance its robotic body, so he recognized it. To the robots, the outer shell meant nothing. The true form resided only in the consciousness existing in the soul gem; therefore, the god being in the body of a small janitor didn’t diminish him in any way. It only added to the mythology surrounding the god robot... which irritated Bruno and Alm a little when they thought back to when they exposed the small cleaning robots to the others.
"Look, this is our god! It’s nothing but a pathetic, useless, ugly, and weak vacuum cleaner robot. Yet, our god selected such a vessel for himself. How magnanimous!"
Then, all the robots helping with the reconstruction of Alm and Bruno’s new body often mentioned how pathetic, useless, ugly, and weak they were day in and day out.

Did they try to stop them? Of course they did! But what came next was even worse.
"Look, this is our god! Look how round he is!"
"He sure is round!"
"He is a perfect circle!"
"Long live the Divine Round Robot God!"
For some reason... mentions of ’round’ and ’circular’ seemed to stick to Alm and Bruno even in other Universes...
Back at the present situation, the elder quickly communicated with the others, who were excited about the return of their god. They didn’t hesitate or doubt for even a second, showing a pure and immaculate devotion coming from these peculiar life forms.
***
Inside the divine castle, the god robot was in a closed room, observing Rehvka, who had been unconscious for a day. Alm and Bruno carefully examined her body, and doubts about her condition only increased their curiosity.
Alm clearly wanted to invade her mind to read her memories, but Bruno stopped him. As she was weak and unconscious, there wasn’t much danger of killing her, but it would be extremely malicious to violate someone’s privacy in such a way. She helped them and saved them; it was the least they could do to respect her privacy.
They patiently waited for her to wake up. Her body, which had been trapped for hundreds of years in a place where celestial Qi could barely penetrate, took some time to adjust and recover. After three days, her eyes slowly opened.
Initially, Rehvka was extremely confused about her surroundings, but her memories began to flow rapidly. She sat up suddenly, and her eyes met the small, round janitorial robot.
Alm and Bruno had already given orders for the fabrication and reconstruction of her new body, which would still take some time. They waited patiently. When her eyes met theirs, something strange hung in the air.
Her eyes started trembling suddenly, and she jumped off the bed, throwing herself to the floor with her head firmly bowed towards them.
A disturbing silence followed, leaving Alm and Bruno perplexed by the situation. Minutes passed, and she continued not saying anything, which made Alm lose patience. "Speak!" he said sharply.
She gave a slight jump and spoke quickly, "Lord... I... I greet the divine elder!"
Alm and Bruno were speechless for a moment. Bruno tried to recall something, and Alm commented mentally without much interest, ’We were a bit worked up earlier, having failed to kill the elven heroine.’
Bruno then said with surprised words, ’Your death Qi was out of control... you called her a brat in an extremely bloodthirsty and sinister way.’
They thought their behavior of pure hatred during the battle had scared this Demon Lady somehow.
Bruno then looked at her and seemed to understand and feel something very strange in her submission. She still trembled, with her head bowed. ’But she... seems... to have liked it?’ he commented.
Alm was also extremely surprised, realizing the same. So Bruno decided to test, speaking in a sinister tone, trying to imitate Alm. "Get up and speak while looking at me, you stupid brat."
She then stood up quickly, and the two witnessed a sadistic and happy smile bloom on her face, which was once dry and lifeless.
Bruno commented strangely. ’Is she a sadistic masochist?’
’Oh My...’ Alm didn’t know what to say, incredulous, he even forgot to curse Bruno for imitating him. Bruno started laughing uncontrollably just between them.
She stood there frozen, looking directly at the robot. Having lived alone for hundreds of years, confined, she completely lost control of the emotions that hit her face. That smile was strange, and she realized much later that she was easily revealing her emotions.
After a few silent minutes, Bruno calmed down. Alm seemed unwilling to engage with her, so Bruno commented, ’Maybe she’s so compatible with your twisted mind that you’re feeling shy?’
While Alm exploded in curses, Bruno ignored him and spoke to Rehvka: "It seems you know some things. How?"
She became serious and said, "I’ve studied soul gems for half of my life. And I’ve also studied death Qi in the other half. Your level in both is light-years away from mine..."
She then took a deep breath, a slight hint of pain in her words, "Thanks to my pupil, I understood that there are invincible forces beyond my universe. And as you seem to be an enemy of the golden evil that dominates all life..." Her face then showed extreme ecstasy again. "You also came from another place, and you’re a divine savior god."
In the midst of her words, Bruno understood a bit. She was still awake when they descended on the planet; she must have heard the robots calling them the god robot.
Then, Rehvka continued, "And also, you are cruel, sinister, and bloodthirsty." She began to writhe, looking like she would burst with joy.
’Oh My...’ This time, Bruno was as shocked as Alm again.
