That day Nicole spent the rest of the day in the Temple facing the statue of the Goddess of Life complaining about her body, her project, and creation that took months of work to complete to be medicated by others would be a crime.
But all she got out of it was silence as High Priestess Yara laughed at her reactions.
But I can understand Nicole, this whole crazy process of sending her own Alma into a robotic body was to turn her back on all the things she considers useless distractions like eating, sleeping, showering, getting sick, etc.
She wanted to get rid of it all, but now she has it all back with a robotic body, plus from what High Priestess Yara said her appetite has increased even more now.
The Demon Goddess of Death even forbade her from trying to switch bodies again to escape death, but with her half-Spectral race now, I think that even switching bodies won't change anything.
---------
The next morning I went to the temple where Nicole had slept in front of the statue of the Goddess of Life to take her elsewhere at Vanessa's request.
But as soon as I tried to lift her I realized something, even though her appearance is that of a girl, she still has a robotic or Golem body for the people of this world, her body is very heavy, it must weigh almost 1 ton, I had to use both arms to carry her with great effort to another place.
I took her to the mansion where I woke her up using a beginner Thunder element spell.

She stands up as if she hadn't even felt the electrical discharge in her body.
"Master, why are you here?" (Nicole)
"I have to talk to you and Silvia about what you're going to call me later." (I)
Sigh
Having my daughters call me master won't work, I'll get the two of them together later to talk.
"You were sleeping in front of the Goddess of Life statue, so Vanessa asked me to get you out." (I)
"..." (Nicole)
She looks shocked by what I've said so she stretches one arm out in front of her and claws come out of a finger of her other hand which she uses to cut the skin on her arm before opening the wound revealing metallic bones and a few other things I don't know what they are.
"That's not possible, my body has nothing biological, everything is synthetic, metal or some kind of crystal." (Nicole)
"How can this body feel sleepy or me being able to sleep? That doesn't make sense!" (Nicole)
While she was freaking out a red goo starts to come out of her wound, but instead of falling off, it moves on repairing the wound in a few seconds until Nicole's arm is as good as new.
"It looks like automatic repair is working as it should, at least this works as expected." (Nicole)
"< Water Ball >" (I)
I use a beginner water spell on Nicole, this spell creates a sphere of water that hits her covering her body of water.
"Stop complaining about everything, even when I found out I was a Leech I didn't complain that much." (I)
"Your situation might not be what you expected, but look on the bright side, you have an amazing body, you are immortal and you have a lot of people to support you, so stop complaining." (I)
"Besides, if you're looking for an explanation about things that don't make sense, the explanation is magic, whenever I can't understand something I stop thinking about it because nothing makes sense in this world to me." (I)
I was already getting annoyed with her complaining so much about why everything didn't go the way she wanted it to, but life is never the way we want it to go, sitting around complaining never gets anyone anywhere.
"From today you will have combat training with Sophia, you will also learn some magic with Freya and you will have simulated fights with Silvia who is also adapting to her body." (I)

----------
Pov Nicole:
It was already night when I managed to leave Tânia's place of work, she kept making me try on different types of clothes, but at least she respected my demands for pants with lots of pockets and functional clothes above all.
I don't care about the beauty of clothes as long as they are useful.
I was in a bathtub in the mansion, this skin is no longer synthetic, I found that it has become real skin, and its defensive and regenerative properties are maintained at least.
While I was in the big bathtub in the mansion I tested stretching my wings, just like I wanted are wings that can be hidden, but not in storage items as it was designed, a tattoo of wings appears on my back, my wings are part of my body now, but they are still made of metal and feathered with flexible metal with many defensive upgrades included.
My hand fingers no longer swap with the internal parts of various tools, but instead turn into crystals that I can shape into the various tools I would use, I can turn my hands or fingers into large blades of crystal, and I can turn my fingers into various tools or stretch them up to 5 times their length and I can connect directly with Reading Crystals or Storage Crystals.
I've also tested the various functions I put in my eyes, including the electronic interface I created to help me, all of which still work, my strength and speed are amazing too.
But one thing that has been bothering me are the senses, I cannot turn them off as previously programmed, they are always active and all of this is a large amount of information that my mind has not yet gotten used to processing.
Sigh
"I haven't tested it yet, but it looks like the synthetic organs like lungs or stomach are now real, I'm glad I didn't put a synthetic heart in the project." (I)
"Aside from the disadvantages I'm going to have to learn to accept, I have a lot to get used to with this body." (I)
While thinking about it what Zenos said earlier makes sense, I can't waste my time complaining no matter how unacceptable this situation is, my time will be better spent on these trainings, and it will help me test and control this body better.
