PFC Chapter 513 Dark Side
Chapter 513 Dark Side
"Log summary - in the 1,023 revolutions since the machine was activated, planetary defense reactions occurred a total of 304 times, including 13 Omega-level reactions."
In the alley where no one has ever stepped foot, the black-clad nun, with a cigarette in her mouth again, listened carefully to the report of the petite Sakura-haired maid.
Although there was no emotion in that mechanical voice, the expression on the maid's face was always strange.
"Where are the detailed observation records?"
"……No."
"what?"
After hearing the unexpected answer, the stunned nun almost subconsciously spit out the half-burned cigarette in her mouth.
The maid with a weird expression glared at her coldly, as if she was disgusted by such a reaction.
"There are indeed no official observation records in the log, because all Omega-level reactions disappear immediately after they occur, and the same is true for Gamma-level and Zeta-level reactions."
"Disappear? Would an immune unit of that level just disappear without leaving any trace? Um... Miss Sweeper, mark all the places where the reactions occurred."
"Tsk - the marking has been completed, and no regular pattern has been found in the locations where the reactions occur."
After looking at the virtually projected map of the continent and the light spots marked on it, the nun rubbed her brows in distress, then sighed helplessly as if she saw more work to do.
"Oh, this is a big problem... You should know what planetary defense response means, right?"
"The data in the database shows that planetary defense response is a unique concept that a planet that can nurture life spontaneously generates in order to eliminate foreign invasions or internal erosion that may threaten the ecosystem."
"Well, you also know what is on this planet right now, right?"
The cherry-haired maid nodded seriously - after obtaining enough information synchronously, she already knew the biggest secret of the planet.
The fragments of the "Lord of the Black Abyss", who was able to devour infinite concepts and phenomena and once fought against the Twin Gods of Dawn, are lying dormant on this planet, waiting for the opportunity to awaken.
"Even if the fragment originated from our master, it is just a fragment. Although the Omega-class planetary defense reaction unit cannot win, it will definitely leave obvious traces on the surface of the planet after contacting the fragment."
"Presumption - Since there are no traces left, could it be that a third party interfered?"
Just as the nun was about to explain the reason in detail, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky and stood next to the two of them quietly and accurately.
The wild golden and scarlet light that could be seen from the darkness clearly indicated the identity of the visitor.
"Sister, we found out something - oh? There are guests?"
"It just so happens that I just found out something... Who's going to speak first?"
The legendary hunter who was once active thousands of years ago and is now the number one apostle of the Lord of Black who is equal to the Twin Gods of Dawn - the cherry-haired maid has already received relevant information from her distant hometown, so she is not surprised.
"Let's start by saying that among those brought by the Covenant Alliance, more than half of them have the reaction of Star Defenders."
"Tsk, just in time... I just checked her observation log and found that all the highest-level planetary defense units are missing."
These two seemingly unrelated pieces of information can now be connected together, ultimately leading to an incredible and disturbing conclusion.
"So I guess... the Covenant Alliance must have used some method to capture those sweepers, separated and extracted their power, and finally merged it with humans."
"Sister, this little guy is in big trouble now."
In order to eliminate invading foreign objects, the planet has actually been creating defensive structures such as immune cells.
However, before these things could be used, they were captured and hidden by some humans with obviously bad intentions, and became materials for them to achieve certain goals.
"…We don't have time to help the boss prepare a strategy to deal with these people. And the fragments are about to start moving. We can't stay here for too long."
"If those people really incorporate the concept of defenders... we won't be able to eliminate them all within the time limit."
"There's no other way. At this moment, we can only——"
The cherry-haired maid watched the conversation between the two coldly, but she was recording all the key information in her mind.
She was an observation unit specially left behind by a brave man a thousand years ago. Although the brave man did not tell her the detailed mission objectives at that time, she was actually very clear that she should shoulder important responsibilities.
And now, having obtained all the information, she finally knew her true mission.
"Excuse me - please allow me to confirm, the person who was beside you two before is actually my master, right?"
Before the two could respond, the void beside the three of them suddenly trembled - a moment later, a red lightning like a fang tore through time and space, creating a huge crack in reality out of thin air.
Then, a brown-skinned wolf girl, her body wrapped in surging red thunder and breathing heavily, crawled out from the crack.
The excess power in her body was even compressed into clear crystals, condensing on various parts of her body, flashing a terrifying light.
"——I, from the beginning, didn't have to assert myself."
As if it had been rebaptized by the violent thunder and lightning, the wolf girl's already tall and fit body had become even more symmetrical and balanced, closer to the concept of "perfection".
And her eyes, reflecting the golden light, became more resolute and calm.
"I am only the master's servant, but I tried to usurp his will and control his body... Such mistakes and crimes must be judged by the master."
Then, her gaze turned to the lioness who was standing with her arms folded and smiling.
"Teacher Yayin...I already know what mistake I made."
"Oh, not bad, at least better than our immature kid. But——"
When the brown-skinned wolf girl and the cherry-haired maid stood side by side again, a black substance like dirty mud began to overflow from the bodies of the two nuns.
"——You two are just followers, destined to never stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
Just like a mother setting the standard for a partner for her child - the blonde lioness uttered cruel and ruthless words, making her own judgment on the two people who did not meet the requirements.
"Whether you want to continue following or give up, make your choice here - we allow you to choose your own future."
