Limitless The Strongest Revenant
Chapter 1039 - 1039: Just in time [2/2]

[Delta, Echo, your targets have been prepared; please get ready to sortie.]

Exa's call broke the banter. All of a sudden the little Gen Z teenagers disappeared. Only veterans remained. The Wolves all began to perform checks on their weapons and equipment. They divided into three groups led by Yvonne, Clarie, and Aisha. A pair of Mangusta completed the wave.

Meanwhile, the new unit for the Enthralled followed Warren. They moved to secure two spots for the next deployment. Ripsaws, MAARs, and soldiers of the Aegis division joined them, lining up for the next three spots.

"GRRR… Let me fight already! Limitless! Let me fight!"

Roach, we got cut out of two more waves and began to stomp in anger. His tail smashed all around as he was once again forced to wait. Juno smacked his head the next moment.

She then sternly rebuked him, "Quiet, you! What are you, a child?"

I was about to retort when my shooting star commented as she smiled.

"Darling, don't mind the issues; we will handle them. Just do what you can. Want me to help you with the {Restore}?"

"Uh, no, you already have more important things to worry about. Rest, Jo, the girls will be here soon. Also, you really introduced yourself as Mrs. Smith?"

"Hehehe, why of course! I am prouder of that title even more than I am of being a Specter!"

Jo giggled energetically as she embraced me. I let her go, and she returned to her post powering the gate. There were really far too many things happening at once. I even forgot about Amari.

Trying to make up for lost time, I started restoring the corpses from the 2nd wave. I tried to brainstorm about the current issues we had as I shot the corpses to life.

'The main bottleneck at the moment is the Gate of Irkalla. Although it is well made, it is still far too slow for Hellsend. If only we could make more of it and bypass our limitation of five deployments.'

At that moment, something clicked. Limit? Since when did I have one? My very name denied that notion. If one Gate of Irkalla could not do it. Then I will make two.

'Exa, I want to {Fabricate} a Gate of Irkalla. Its an artificial Soulgear right? so no soulgems are involved, Is it possible?'

[Yes and no. I have the records of Addison Hale. Meaning I know what components to make with soul and how to put them together. But I do not have the necessary means to power them. Asking Lady Jo to power a second one would be difficult.]

'I see. So, what I need are reapers capable of powering them. Meaning Specters. Or those who no longer have issues with soul.'

[Yes.]

At that moment, three figures approached me. A white woman with African dreadlocks, a Colombian Inca warrior, and an Argentinian conquistador. Sensing their great soul depths, I could only think of one thing.

"Just in time," I commented with a smile. "Exa, fabricate me two more of these things."

[I have to halt the data smokescreen that prevents the authorities from acting.]

"I think that should be fine. How long would you need?"

[10 minutes.]

"Hmm. Let me ask."

I faced my Brazilian lover and called out to her link.

'Mrs. Code. Can I borrow Exa for ten minutes?'

Barely a second passed before Bella replied.

'That should be fine. But what will you have her do?'

'I am going to make two more Gates of Irkalla.'

'What? How? You understand how it works?' Bella asked in surprise.

'No, not really, but Exa does. That is all I need.'

Bella's body suddenly began to move and walk toward me. She puffed her cheeks as she smacked my arm.

"This cheater! I fucking hate you!"

Seeing her adorable outburst, I quickly grabbed her waist and kissed her neck.

"You know that is a lie, you fucking love me." I retorted smugly.

"Hmph! So, what if it is? You're going to throw me away?"

Finding her cuter by the moment, I brought her closer. I drew a heart on her neck with my tongue.

"Not even when the world goes to hell, Bella."

"You better! Or I will make you regret it."

As Bella and I flirted like crazy, I saw the faces of the Specters who had come near me earlier.

"My lord, you are fucking trash," Eva Baker said with disdain.

"Uhm, it's good to see your relationship still healthy," Carlos said wryly.

"Sigh, I guess these are not the worst personality traits one can be cursed with," Herman added as if he had an epiphany.

I gave Bella one last kiss before I let her go; I then called out to the three.

"Perfect, I have a job for you three!"

"If it has anything to do with your kinks, fuck you."

"I agree with Mrs. Baker, my lord. Please find someone else."

"I refuse."

These fucking shits. I called out to Jo, who had already begun to suffocate the area with death resonance.

"Darling. Can you please come here?"

A second later, Jo appeared by my side, intertwining our fingers.

"Yes, Darling?"

"I understand that only a Siren can control the gate, but can they be powered by any one of these three?"

Immediately, Jo raised her foot and stomped on my shin. I felt my bones break from her merciless blow. That and an audible crunch. But as I had the experience of countless near-death experiences, this level of pain was nothing to me.

"Ow," I said in a calm voice.

"Stupid Darling! You flirt with Bella and only call me for work! I hate you!"

Hearing her logic, I could only bow my head in shame. Yanderes were like hyperactive puppies. They were fun to play with but were exhausting to hang around with if you had other stuff to do.

Ignoring the pain in my foot, I limped towards Jo and took her hand. I kissed it tenderly before placing it on my cheek.

"I am sorry, Darling; I will cuddle with you later. Can you please bear with me for now?"

"Hmph!" But Jo only huffed in irritation. I then straightened her arm and kissed from the back of her hand inch by inch all the way to her lips. It looked incredibly stupid. But I felt Jo's happiness explode as I got closer to her face.

When we finally kissed, she said in a murmur, "Be grateful that I love you so much, Darling."

"Each and every day, Jo."

Placated, Jo finally answered, "They can. Only a Siren can control it, but any Specter with their domain can power it up."

I gave her a kiss on her cheek and thanked her. I then looked to the three Specters who were about to leave.

"Time to work, you three."

"On what?" Herman asked.

I then pointed to the overworked, Gate of Irkalla.

"Power that thing."

"But there is only one of it, my lord," Carlos replied.

Pleased, I turned around and raised my hand towards the soulgear. I visualized two more replicas to its left and right. "Says who? Exa, are you ready?"

[I am. The schematics have been completed.]

"Great, {Fabricate}!"

At once, virtual versions of the gates were drawn for everyone to see. Those who noticed immediately left the area. Those that understood what it meant went slack-jawed. Even Roach, who was angry from waiting, began to wag his tail in glee.

Once the new soulgears were ready, we could attack Africa with all our strength.
