Episode 273 – Chaos (1) – Cynthia, the distinguished guest on the 100th floor of the 2nd Command Center, did not go to the banquet hall. Currently, she is hiding in the pirate territory of Kesha Arma. If she goes to the banquet hall, someone might recognize her. Montana Marcio also knew this, so he promised to treat her separately. Now it will soon be time for expensive, gourmet dishes to fill the table in the room she is staying in. Before the meal came, she was listening to music in the audio room as usual. Beautiful music flows from antique speakers designed in the shape of a gramophone. She listened to the beautiful melody of string instruments filling the room. It was a subtle vibration that woke her up from being immersed in the world of music with her eyes closed. It wasn’t just that the music was loud enough to make the room vibrate. The floor she was on, and indeed the entire building, rang as if something had hit her hard. ‘what?’ There has never been anything like this before. She got up from the chair and left the room. A familiar noise could be heard softly from the balcony. A sound she once heard so often that she was sick of it. It was the explosion that occurred when an energy bullet hit something. ‘Could it be Akira?’ Did he realize that she was hiding here? She quickly ran out to the balcony. And what Cynthia saw was a little different from what she expected. There were no giant warships invading the fortress, no warplanes swarming like bees, no Hulk mutants or soldiers descending from the sky. Instead, there was a meteor shower there. Numerous fires were burning the fortress. – ‘Should I say I’m glad it’s a cult stronghold?’ I looked up at the transparent tray floating in the air, protecting me and No. 26. An object that looks like a mirror or circular prism containing various types of light is created whenever ‘Complex Spectral Object’ is activated. Its main ability is reflection of energy-type attacks. It is a unique characteristic created by combining defense-related characteristics such as ‘Mimetic Scale’ and ‘Super Power Reflective Gloves’ that I previously had. ‘Defense-type characteristics are rarely active.’ Most of the defense-related characteristics I have acquired so far are activated when conditions are met or are activated automatically on a regular basis. Even in the game, the ability to activate defensive abilities when the Aimorph player wanted was rare. Additionally, active defense characteristics were usually effective but risky. The conditions for use are strict, or it is very difficult to obtain, etc. Of course, the complex spectral object is not a feature that can be used at any time. I opened the text box, protected by a transparent mirror that reflected energy. 「Complex Spectral Body: In nature, waves are forces. Forms a medium that reflects energy attacks that have been hit multiple times. Reduces damage from energy attacks that cannot be reflected by less than half. *Reflection Target: Laser Plasma Psychic Power Crystallization Wavelength *Duration: 5 minutes (cooldown 30 minutes) *PS: A strategist must know how to use the enemy’s power against him.” The effect of the complex spectral body is similar to the defensive characteristics I have had so far. It is a structure that combines the effects of ‘Reflection’, a defensive technique of cults. It is similar to Mimic Scale in that it only affects energy-type attacks that have been attacked multiple times, and is similar to the psychic reflective armor Reflection in that it reflects them. ‘As an additional effect, it also reduces damage from attacks that cannot be reflected.’ It can also be useful when fighting enemies that use unique energy systems, such as Red Gallagon or Vortex One. Their attacks can neutralize defense characteristics, causing enormous damage even to adult Aimorphs. Even if you can’t reflect the damage you will receive from them, it is definitely a benefit to reduce it. ‘The shortcomings are good enough.’ The reflective medium lasts for 5 minutes and has a cooldown of 30 minutes. It is true that it cannot be used at any time, but compared to other features that require waiting for more than 24 hours to use again, it is virtually risk-free. ‘Anyway, that’s it.’ From this, they would have known that I have reflex abilities. Instead of shooting with fortress guns, they will use other means. The moment I thought that, a light flashed again from the 2nd headquarters located far away. Two fortress guns fired salvoes. ‘Did you think you were mistaken?’ The body, which had been steamed to the point of being reminiscent of a scarab larva, became thin and its short legs became elongated like the legs of a spider. The black tentacles wriggling all over the body also disappeared. “Big baby has changed again.” As my appearance returned to a form reminiscent of a spider, No. 26, who was following me, blinked as if he was disappointed. Then he jumped on top of my head. “But the older one is always cool! Good!」 [Zuzuzu (Thank you)] I raised my wing arm, which had returned to its original state, and lightly patted him. It also took out its tentacles and wrapped the fingers around the ends of its wing arms as if shaking my hand. ‘My body is back, let’s move.’ Currently, PS-111 is working secretly to neutralize the 3rd Command, which oversees life support facilities. It’s not about hitting the headquarters directly. He has taken control of the Environmental Management Center, a lower level facility, and is preparing to hack the 3rd Command’s system using this as a basis. So, the target that No. 26 and I are aiming for is another command, that is, the 1st or 2nd command. ‘It was the 2nd Command that reacted most quickly.’ Considering that the fortress artillery was fired first, it is highly likely that the leaders were gathered there. Having decided on a goal, I stretched out my wing arms to both sides. The skin covering the inside of the carapace spread outward. After taking out my wings for the first time in a while, I flapped my two wings, which were almost as long as my body, a few times. The film fluttered, pushing not only the air but also the surrounding debris. ‘good.’ After completing a quick inspection, I waved the wings loudly. The enormous air pressure collapsed the surrounding buildings and lifted my heavy body into the sky above the fortress. I adjusted my wings to lower my altitude. As I flapped my wings and looked down, the shadow created by my body was thick on the street. “Giiiii” “Giiiii” “Giiiiiiiiik” “Geikigigi” The mutants filling the streets and running towards the fortress are crying out at me. The pirates who were resisting them also raised their heads as they felt a shadow fall over their heads. Their eyes widen and their mouths open. “What is that?” “I’ve never heard of anything like that!” To describe that feeling simply, it was ‘astonishment.’ A natural reaction when witnessing an overwhelming presence. I decided to give them a gift. A messenger of great chaos descends upon an area within a 500m radius from me. A powerful psychic power that distorts human senses and drives people crazy burrows into the heads of the pirates who resist. “Ugh! Run away! “Run away!” “Please save me, please save me, please save me....” “Mom! mom! scared! mom!” In front of him was a mutant, and above the horde was a flying monster tens of meters high. When added to the psychological power that pollutes the mind, the pirates’ camp rapidly collapsed. “Don’t run away! Fight back...Kuuk?!” “Hee hee hee! I won! I won! Heeheeheehee!” “Ki ki hee hee hee die die die die die!” That’s not all. The pirates, who had lost their minds and went completely crazy, began shooting at their comrades. The mercenaries who had just joined forces with the pirates to stop the mutants were busy unleashing the murderous skills they had trained on their colleagues. Madness spreads through the streets like a malignant tumor. Meanwhile, the group of mutants I had created were running through the streets and buildings, heading towards the headquarters. ‘I guess this is enough.’ I have modified the goals of the lunatics created by the Herald of Chaos. Rather than stabbing a colleague sitting next to you in the stomach, aim for a bigger goal. For example, the people who made these unfortunate events happen to them. How about making them pay? “I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill you. “I will kill you.” “I want to kill you! hurry! Bleed quickly!” I adjusted the position of the carrots above where they wanted to eat them. Crazy pirate murder-crazy mercenaries followed behind the mutants. The guys who had bitten each other just now and put bullets into each other were now going crazy together and moving towards a new target. At the end of the direction where the concentrated madness was heading was the 2nd Command Center.
