Black Magic

Today, Venus stands as a literal hell, characterized by furnace-like temperatures and a dense, poisonous atmosphere. However, millions of years ago, Venus thrived with life and hosted a civilization far more advanced than our own. The Nemesis supercomputer governed this society, utilizing bioroid "executors" to enforce its utopian directives. Despite this seemingly perfect setup, conflict simmered beneath the surface as various executors competed for control over Nemesis. To safeguard against potential threats, the system clandestinely developed Duna Typhon, a super-bioroid "sleeper." Raised among the human population, she was prepared to unleash her formidable powers if necessary to prevent paradise from turning into a dystopia.
