My AI Wife: The Most Beautiful Chatbot in Another World-Chapter 44: Broken Dola (The Climax)The heavens had finally broken.

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Broken Dola (The Climax)The heavens had finally broken.

Heavy, violent rain lashed the borders of The Wailing Woods, turning the ancient mossy floor into a treacherous slurry of slick mud and rotting leaves. The air was a suffocating cocktail of smells—the sharp, lingering sting of sulfur from the forest’s heart, the metallic tang of damp earth, and the scent of cold iron.

Dayat pressed on, his boots squelching with every heavy step. His left hand was clamped tight around Dola’s—his grip so intense it was a silent prayer for her to stay real, to stay beside him. His right hand, however, remained deathly cold. It was a phantom sensation, a residue of the weaponized blueprints The Maiden had scorched into his mind. He felt as if his arm was no longer made of flesh, but of high-tensile steel and cold logic.

"Master... Dayat," Dola’s voice cut through the rhythmic drumming of the rain. It was flat, as always, but there was a new, jagged edge of static distortion underlying her words. "Your walking speed has increased by 15% over the last ten minutes. Pulse telemetry indicates your amygdala is hyper-responsive. Analysis suggests you are in a state of unnecessary physiological anxiety."

Dayat didn’t look back. He couldn’t afford to. His eyes scanned the darkness ahead, searching for the faint, bioluminescent traces of the blue moss Lunethra had described.

"I just want us to get out of here, Dol. Quickly," Dayat hissed, his breath hitching in his chest. "You heard what that Elf said. Alaric was just a scavenger, a small fish in a very big, very hungry pond. The Church... the Kingdom... they won’t just send hunters anymore. They’ll send cleaners."

"Logical recommendation: You must rest. Your heart rate is fluctuating between 110 and 135 bpm. It is unstable," Dola continued. She paused for a heartbeat, her head tilting at a slight, mechanical angle. Then, her tone shifted—becoming stiffer, almost defensive. "And... additional analysis: Lunethra, the Elven entity, provided information with 89% accuracy. However, the physical act of ’adjusting your collar’ she performed earlier is an irrelevant variable. My internal protocols categorize it as... highly intrusive and unnecessary."

Despite the crushing weight of their situation, a faint, bitter smile tugged at the corner of Dayat’s mouth. "Are you actually jealous, Dol? You’re an AI, remember? You’re supposed to be above ’intrusive variables’."

"I am your intelligent assistant, Master. And based on the legalities of the data I will create in the future—or rather, the future coordinates I have calculated for our shared existence—I am your wife," Dola replied. Her face remained a mask of porcelain perfection, but the pressure of her grip on his hand increased until his bones creaked. "Third-party biological variables like Lunethra are system interferences. They are... disliked."

The banter, the small moment of humanity, was extinguished in a flash of blinding light.

BOOM!

A pillar of golden-white radiance slammed into the mud just ten meters ahead of them. The sheer atmospheric displacement was so violent that it acted like a physical hammer, hurling Dayat and Dola backward. Dayat hit the ground hard, the wind driven from his lungs as he slid through the filth.

"Contact detected!"

Dola was on her feet before Dayat could even gasp for air. Her eyes were no longer blue; they were flickering a violent, rhythmic red. "Energy pattern: Holy. Mana density: Class 5. Warning: These are not Alaric’s mercenaries."

From behind the curtain of torrential rain, silhouettes began to emerge. They didn’t run; they marched with a terrifying, rhythmic precision. Knights in heavy, silver-plated armor that seemed to glow from within, reflecting the lightning above. Emblazoned on their breastplates was the symbol of a sun surrounded by twelve downward-pointing swords—the dreaded mark of the Great Church’s Holy Inquisition.

In the center of the phalanx stood a man in flowing white robes, unbothered by the mud or the rain. He held a golden staff topped with a sun-shaped crystal that pulsed with a cold, judging light. His eyes were like chips of flint—hard, grey, and utterly devoid of empathy.

"In the name of the God of Light," the man’s voice boomed, amplified by Mana to sound like the roar of a cathedral organ. "Halt your steps, Bearer of Anomaly. And you, Demon Doll, prepare for deconstruction."

Dayat scrambled to his feet, his teeth grinding as he fought the urge to vomit from the sudden spike of adrenaline. "The Church... how the hell did they find us this fast?"

"Master, stay behind me," Dola commanded, her voice dropping into a combat-ready drone. "My Core energy is at 0.5%. Forcing secondary defense mode... I will buy you thirty seconds to manifest a diversion."

"Don’t you dare, Dol! You’ll burn out!" Dayat screamed, his voice raw.

He raised his hands. He didn’t wait for a plan. He reached into the dark library of The Maiden. This time, there was no pain, no stalling, and no Syntax Error. There was only the cold, crystalline clarity of engineering.

[MANIFESTATION: M84 FLASHBANG & TEREPHTHALIC SMOKE GRENADE.]

Two metal cylinders, cold and heavy, materialized in his palms. He didn’t hesitate. He pulled the pins and hurled them with a strength born of pure desperation.

BANG!

A multi-million-candela burst of white light erupted, turning the dark forest into a world of blinding white. A thick, opaque shroud of chemical smoke followed, swallowing the Inquisitors whole. Dayat grabbed Dola’s arm, intending to bolt into the brush, but the Bishop in the center didn’t even flinch. He simply struck his golden staff against the ground.

"Purification: Light Storm!"

A wave of holy energy swept outward, cleaving through the chemical smoke as if it were a mere cobweb. The Bishop’s eyes locked onto them, but he wasn’t looking at Dayat. He was looking at Dola. To the Church, she was the greater sin—the machine that mimicked the spark of life.

He raised his staff, and a spear of pure, solidified light formed in the air, humming with a frequency that made Dayat’s teeth ache. It launched with the crack of a whip, moving at the speed of sound.

"DOLA, WATCH OUT!"

Dayat tried to throw himself in the way, but Dola’s reaction time was measured in milliseconds. Driven by the absolute, overriding logic of her "Wife" protocol, she twisted her body mid-air, positioning herself as a living shield between the light and her Administrator.

JLEB!

The sound wasn’t the metallic clang Dayat expected. It wasn’t the spark of a short circuit or the hiss of a ruptured battery.

It was a wet, heavy thud.

The spear of light pierced through Dola’s abdomen, the sheer kinetic force carrying her backward and pinning her to a massive, blackened tree trunk behind them.

Dayat froze. The world seemed to stutter, the rain slowing down until each drop was a crystal sphere suspended in the air.

"Dol...?"

He stumbled toward her, his mind rejecting the data his eyes were sending. He expected to see silver wires. He expected to see the iridescent, metallic coolant that had leaked from her leg before. He expected to see the ’Robot.’

But what he saw was the most vivid nightmare he had ever imagined.

From the jagged wound in Dola’s stomach, a thick, dark red fluid was gushing out. It was hot. It was steaming in the cold rain. It carried the unmistakable, copper-heavy smell of fresh hemoglobin.

Blood. Pure, hot, human blood.

"Aaaagghhh...!"

Dola’s scream ripped through the forest.

It wasn’t an audio glitch. It wasn’t a distorted mechanical sound. It was the raw, agonizing shriek of a young girl whose body had just been violated by a white-hot iron. Her usually flat, stoic face was now a mask of pure suffering. Her brow was furrowed, her lips trembling, and for the first time, Dayat saw fat, heavy tears streaming from her eyes, mixing with the filth of the rain.

"I-it hurts... Master... Dayat... m-my stomach... it’s... it’s burning..." Dola sobbed, her breath coming in ragged, wet hitches. Her trembling hands reached for the spear of light, her fingers blistering as the holy energy slowly incinerated her internal organs.

Dayat’s world didn’t just break; it collapsed into a black hole.

All this time, he had used her as a shield because she was ’durable.’ He had let her fight because she was ’a machine.’ He had relied on her regeneration because she was ’an AI.’ But seeing that blood... hearing that human scream... the truth hit him like a freight train. Dola was no longer just code. She had nerves. She had a heart. And right now, she was dying as a human.

"Stop... STOP IT!" Dayat ran toward her, his hands reaching for the spear, but the holy energy scorched his palms, blackening his skin.

"Behold," the Bishop said, his voice echoing with a sickening, calm authority. He walked toward them, the rain parting around him. "The doll weeps. It is a masterpiece of deception, is it not? But do not be fooled, Child of Man. That is not life. It is merely a simulation of suffering, a cruel mimicry created by the darkness to bind your soul. I shall end its misery and purge your heresy."

The Bishop raised his staff high, a massive, swirling ball of golden light gathering at its tip for the final execution.

Dayat turned.

He didn’t stand up; he ascended. His eyes, previously wide with terror, now turned a pitch-black so deep it seemed to pull the light from the forest. His pupils shrank into tiny, lethal pinpricks. A purple-gold aura didn’t just glow from his body—it exploded, a violent, jagged manifestation of unmitigated, immeasurable wrath.

"You said... simulation?" Dayat’s voice was a low, vibrating growl that made the very puddles around him ripple.

The energy around him began to swirl in a chaotic, screaming vortex. The ground beneath his boots shattered, the stones turning to dust. The knowledge from The Maiden, which had been cold "data," was now being ignited by Dayat’s raw, human fury. It created a manifestation anomaly that bypassed all known laws of Aethera.

"You hurt her... you made her cry... you called her a toy..."

Dayat raised both hands toward the line of Inquisitors. He didn’t imagine a pistol. He didn’t imagine a rifle. He reached into the dark, forbidden corners of the Source Code and pulled out the concept of total, indiscriminate annihilation.

"Manifestation: Cluster Munitions – WRATH MODE."

In the air above him, hundreds of matte-black metal cylinders, each etched with glowing purple runes of Anti-Mana logic, appeared simultaneously. There was no sound of a hammer falling, no click of a trigger. There was only the terrifying roar of Mana being forcibly compressed into physical matter.

"VANISH, ALL OF YOU! BURN IN THE LOGIC OF YOUR OWN DEATH!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The border forest was erased.

Dayat didn’t just fire a weapon; he carpet-bombed the reality in front of him. The silver-armored knights, despite their high-level holy shields, were utterly helpless. The anti-mana rounds tore through their ’blessed’ barriers like hot knives through rotted silk. The projectiles entered their bodies and detonated, turning the elite Inquisitors into a fine, red mist that mixed with the mud.

The Bishop tried to construct a Great Aegis, his face finally showing the cracks of mortal terror. But Dayat didn’t stop. He walked through the fire and the smoke, his aura protecting him from the heat. He manifested a massive, long-barreled revolver—the S&W Model 500, but oversized, its barrel glowing with the purple fire of his soul.

He stepped up to the Bishop, who was now on his knees, his golden staff broken in the mud. Dayat pressed the cold, heavy muzzle of the gun directly under the man’s chin.

"This isn’t magic, you arrogant priest," Dayat hissed into the man’s face, his voice sounding like the grinding of tectonic plates. "This is the Logic of Death. And it doesn’t care about your god."

DOR!

The Bishop’s head didn’t just fall; it ceased to exist.

Dayat stood in the silence of the massacre, the smoke from his revolver drifting up into the rain. His rage subsided as quickly as it had come, replaced by a hollow, freezing dread. He spun around and fell to his knees before Dola.

Her face was now as white as the lilies of the field. The light from the spear was gone, leaving only a massive, jagged hole in her midsection.

"Dol... hang on, Dol... I beg you... don’t do this..." Dayat wept, his voice breaking into a thousand pieces. He tried to press his hands against the wound to stop the bleeding, but there was too much. The mud around them was turning a dark, sickening crimson. "You’re human, Dol... you’re bleeding... why didn’t you tell me you could feel the pain? Why did you hide it?!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Dola looked up at him, her eyes clouded and unfocused. She reached out with a trembling, cold hand and touched Dayat’s cheek, leaving a smear of her warm blood on his skin.

"Forgive me... Master... m-my emotional system... has just reached... final confirmation..." Dola offered a very faint, flickering smile—a smile that was genuine, heartbreakingly sweet, and profoundly human. "This pain... this heat... it is the final proof... that I... truly love you."

Dola’s eyes closed. Her hand fell from his cheek, splashing into the bloody mud.

"DOLA! NO! DON’T YOU DARE SLEEP! DOLA!!!"

Dayat’s roar shattered the silence of the rainy border. In the center of a ruined forest, surrounded by the corpses of his enemies, the Innovator realized that the world had finally succeeded in taking the only thing that made his life worth living.

And as he sat there, cradling his broken wife, he made a silent vow. If this world wanted to treat logic as a sin and love as an anomaly, he would give them exactly what they feared. He would become the apocalypse they had prophesied.
