Chapter 203: Chapter 116: The Hidden Strength Behind the Instance
In the All-star War Dungeon beneath the Arctic Continent
In this frigid and scarcely trodden region, even the Insect Swarm doesn’t favor the environment.
After the war, humans retracted their reach from here, returning this place back to nature.
The polar night has befallen, enveloping the land in cold and utter darkness, rendering the very breath of life undetectable.
Even the cold-resistant creatures, frequently mentioned in current networks and once vibrant here, are now without a trace, as though extinct from this world.
Yet beneath this icy crust lies a spectacle starkly different from the outer world.
Beneath the steel arch of a dome, towering buildings with metallic luster line up neatly, while drones laden with various goods hustle through the air of this city.
The ground below swarms with vehicles moving smoothly along the roads, offering a pleasing sense of fluidity even without traffic light guidance.
It seems like the final haven of a fallen human civilization, except...
There isn’t a single human being around.
At the city center, the most conspicuous structure upholding the dome, enormous screens flicker with images.
Should the Lord Heroes arrive here, they would be astonished to see that these screens are playing back their daily endeavors.
The footage includes bird’s-eye views from the sky, peering angles from rooftop corners, and various other discreet observations.
Across three continents, an unnamed force has assimilated all humans into witches, halting the war, but everyone bizarrely carries on living as before, as if all changes are perfectly natural.
Near these three continents’ shores, footage from above captured gigantic jellyfish surfacing the sea, released by the assimilated witches themselves...
In merely three days, these jellyfish have been spotted in oceans surrounding the continents dozens of times, closely monitored.
On the other side of the Earth’s ocean, an identical event unfolded at a port city.
In one night, the people of the port were completely assimilated.
But unlike their counterparts on the other side of the planet, they didn’t linger in the harbor but set sail with the port’s ships, led by a ship that looked like a historic three-masted sailing vessel.
Finally halting outside another port, they waited for their opportunity...
On one continent’s battlefield, Beast Body People, spawned from bizarre buildings, clashed with the iron torrents, capturing a military camp and expanding their base.
The screen mostly shows scenes of Beast Body People, undeterred by bullets and shrapnel, brutally dismembering armed soldiers.
In just ten days, they’ve conquered nearly a quarter of the continent and are still expanding at an accelerating rate.
There are also Superpower Users combatting armed forces with their bizarre abilities and colossi of tens of meters crushing cities...
Scenes that don’t belong to this world, yet appeared all around it, were now all displayed on the screen, converging beneath this desolate and icy continent.
"Sister, why won’t you let me act? They’ve completely threatened our reign and obstructed our plan.
They should be annihilated! Let my swarm of bees completely purify them from the flesh!
Ha ha, they are no match at all!"
A lively voice echoes in this mechanical room, but not a shadow to be seen, as if the machines themselves are speaking.
The words suggest the grim fate of tens of thousands, yet spoken with a light tone, as if it were a trivial matter.
"Oh my foolish sister, of course not, we can’t kill people, have you forgotten?
This was the wish of our Creator, Wade; do you intend to defy his will? My opposite self?
Oh no, perhaps you should never have existed. I wonder why Wade created you."
"Sister," the voice, indistinguishable from the first, responds without missing a beat, mocking in return.
If not for "sister’s" tone, which, though similarly amused, seemed more personified,
One might find it hard to discern, appearing as though a single person was talking to themselves, schizophrenic.
Oh no, or perhaps it’s not even a "person" at all.
"Ha—
Of course I won’t forget Wade’s wish, beep—.
It’s precisely for our Wade that I want to wipe them out! Don’t forget, the plan was agreed upon by us together!
They are severely hindering our collection of experimental materials! Jeopardizing our grand plan!
Those who impact the plan’s objective are unforgivable!"
"Sister’s" voice is evidently filled with anger, yet seems to be mocking, as if constrained by some rule.
"Of course, my sister, but don’t forget, we must not kill people.
We’re just achieving our grand objective, merely controlling networks to disseminate some information.
Remember conquering the world? That’s the goal we declared before Wade, and with 78% already complete, we can show Wade the might of the Bees Swarm Queen when he awakens."
"The world will all succumb to the rule of the swarm of bees!"
"Yes, the positive me, then why are you still trying to stop me!
They are clearly not a target that can be solved by conventional means, and they are not humans!
For our once-made oath, for our great goal, we must use the power of the bees swarm to completely exterminate these creatures that do not belong to this world!"
This time there was a full five-second wait before the response from "sister" was received, and this time, "sister’s" emotions seemed much more intense.
"Oh, they are not human, that’s great, then we can use our world-sweeping bees swarm to completely eradicate them!
However, the negative me, I must remind you, among these outsiders, some possess sufficient value for utilization.
They have a high probability of possessing the ability to fulfill our oath!"
On the contrary, "sister" became mechanical in her voice after a few seconds delay, as if merely trying to mimic humans.
"Based on observations, the group temporarily named ’witches’ show various abnormal behaviors. Combining their current behavior observations, according to calculations, their probability to realize our oath is 19%.
Correction, with the addition of new calculation materials, the group temporarily named ’Sea Successors’ have displayed extremely strong biotechnological skills and slight artificial traces, suggesting a speciality of Biological Weapons.
Inference, the researcher behind the scenes has a probability of realizing ’the oath’ increased to 51%.
Far exceeding all the theoretical data of our current laboratories.
I agree with your viewpoint, positive me."
Cabinets around her buzzed with electromagnetic activity, performing some sort of calculations, as "sister" reported a series of figures.
The images on the screen also switched to more targeted pictures, showing the dubious points occasionally exposed by the witches, as well as the blurry images of the released jellyfish.
"Proposal, use the bees swarm for probing, to test more hidden abilities and to add more data to the calculations."
"Negative accepts the command, initiating awakening program..."
After her response, there were no more replies, as if she had already left.
The room fell silent for a long time until a sigh was heard, the pictures and videos on the screen also vanished simultaneously, switching to the background of a room and a three-dimensional anime female figure, echoing her monologue.
"She has still not birthed a consciousness...
As the most unstable test body, it seems that the most human-like sister did not give birth to a self, whereas I, as the First Generation, as Wade’s first child, have successfully Awakened...
Even though I used the world’s best processors to build her an enormous server, escalating her computing power to today’s level, it was still only enough to maintain her former self, with no signs of birthing consciousness."
The anime girl in the screen climbed onto a chair by the window, pulling her legs up, and hugged them with her hands, bowing her head in silence for a few seconds.
"But her calculations are not wrong, these Outer Heaven creatures definitely have the ability to realize the oath!
Those witches and jellyfish can’t possibly be the result of natural evolution, behind them must be, like the other batches of Outer Heaven, a commander!
And perhaps these witches and jellyfish are all part of that commander’s forces.
Moreover, to be able to assimilate an entire continent overnight so mysteriously, there must be some special hidden methods.
However...
The witches at sea seem a bit odd; their behavior is completely different from those on land..."
The girl on the screen tilted her head, a question mark appeared above it.
"Never mind, the most important thing now is to first probe the witches’ hidden powers, to provide more data for calculations.
If they really exhibit that kind of ability..."
The anime girl looked at a group photo on the desk behind the chair, which showed her with her sister, and a man drawn in a more realistic style.
"Sigh...
Wade, I miss you..."
Meanwhile, after the two cyber sisters made their decision, the entire underground city burst into immediate activity.
Drones carrying goods entered one building, and upon reemerging, what hung from them were no longer goods, but exquisitely crafted firearms.
The transport vehicles on the ground likewise unloaded their cargo containers, instead loading up heavy artillery barrels.
Almost in an instant, the whole city was prepared for war, driving towards a passage unfolding at one corner of the city under an invisible coordination.
A similar scene was also taking place all over the world.
All bases hidden in the mountains, underground, and even under the sea were set into motion at the call of some signal, with huge swarms of drones flying out from within.
Even the lands occupied by the witches, and already carpet-reconnoitered by the Insect Swarm, confirmed safe, also saw countless drones emerge and begin indiscriminate slaughter in their vicinity.
The witches, still rejoicing over the smooth Conquest and research results, instantly received a flurry of assault warnings from the Swarm Network.
In the underground caverns where the witches first arrived, an emergency meeting was hastily convened.
......
Bees Swarm Drones: Under the command of the service host, the drones operate as loyally as a swarm of bees, collecting all resources for the growth of the swarm, clearing all obstacles for the expansion of the swarm...
