However, this time, their team had two more completely new "faces".
One of them was a naive, blonde "country girl" dressed in a simple white dress, looking around blankly at the unfamiliar environment filled with a "futuristic" feel, and tightly clutching a somewhat crude-looking wooden staff in her hand.
The other was a blond "Knight King" who wore a full set of oppressive, ominous black armor and exuded a cold, kingly aura that warned others to stay away.
"...Two more?!"
Mine, who had been waiting in the living room, instantly lost her proud expression when she saw the two "new members" who had the same faces as Artoria.
She let out a cry of despair, a mournful lament.
"This house...this house, really, is about to become too small!"
Leone whistled, a sound full of wildness and appreciation. Her sharp, feline eyes scanned Black Sab's powerful and beautiful, perfectly sculpted body with unbridled abandon, as if she were admiring a top-tier, artistic "collectible."
Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka, who had long since been completely freed from Eriri's "cold war" and regained her "mistress" aura, skillfully began to arrange the accommodation for the new members.
The entire apartment once again descended into a lively, chaotic, and heartwarming mess, filled with the "new family."
However, Gu Chuan did not participate in this heartwarming farce filled with a "family" atmosphere.
His black eyes, the moment he returned to this world, were once again filled with a cold, emotionless indifference.
"—Aili~"
He spoke in a calm, unquestionable tone.
"Debrief the situation."
"Yes, Master."
A sophisticated and gentle female voice emanated from the apartment's smart speaker.
The next second, the huge holographic projection screen in the center of the living room lit up again.
On the screen, clearly displayed was the real-time monitoring footage of the top floor of the Future Technology Building, a secret laboratory filled with high-tech features.
The thin young man in the white lab coat was still sitting in front of the huge server.
His eyes remained closed, as if he were still immersed in his own unknown "spiritual world".
"—Master," Ellie reported slowly in a professional and calm voice, "during your absence, the target showed no signs of any unusual activity."
“$Suspected tumor billion 2 leeks but…” She changed the subject, and instantly, a real-time data graph representing “spiritual energy fluctuations” popped up on the screen.
"According to my monitoring, at the moment when the God of Data that he created was completely purified by you, his spiritual energy fluctuations experienced an extremely violent, abnormal, avalanche-like chaos and decline."
"Although he quickly and forcibly stabilized, the data clearly shows that his mental core has suffered an extremely serious and irreparable blow."
"I am 90 percent certain that he already knows that his so-called Investiture of the Gods plan has completely failed."
"--Yeah?"
Gu Chuan looked at the screen, at the "thief" who was still doing his futile, self-hypnotic, pathetic work, and a cold, mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Since he already knows that his pet was killed."
"Then, presumably, he has already prepared to welcome the pet's angry master."
The oppressive countdown from the Lostbelt has ended.
Now, it's time to deal with this filthy, reckless "rat" that's running rampant in its own "backyard."
"—Aili."
"Yes, Master."
"I'm going to hack into all the security systems of the Future Tech Building. Before we even get there, I'm going to turn all the surveillance, alarms, and defenses into a pile of useless scrap metal."
"—Yes, my master."
"—Red eyes, black eyes."
"exist."
Those two sisters, always inseparable, appeared silently behind him like two black lightning bolts.
"You are responsible for infiltration and assassination. Eliminate all unnecessary fodder that might hinder our progress."
"-clear."
"—Alt."
"……Um."
That cold-blooded "Black Knight King" responded with only a cold, emotionless nasal tone.
"You are in charge of making a direct breakthrough."
Gu Chuan looked into her cold, indifferent, golden vertical pupils that belonged to a "dragon," and slowly uttered his first command to this powerful "tyrant."
"—I grant you permission to liberate yourself from all the tyranny that comes with being king."
"Use your holy sword, filled with destruction and pitch black, to utterly shatter all the walls that dare to stand in our way!"
Hearing this, one senses an absolute command filled with the meaning of "indulgence".
Black Sab's usually cold, indifferent golden vertical pupils, for the first time, uncontrollably lit up slightly!
A cruel smile, full of "fighting spirit" and "excitement," belonging to a "tyrant," flashed across her lips.
"—Then, let's set off (Zhao Haohao)."
Gu Chuan took one last look at his eager "family members" who were already used to these "pre-battle meetings," and slowly turned around.
"Let us go and begin a new hunt."
"A one-sided affair, belonging to the king, yes, to a despicable thief who dared to challenge the king's majesty—"
"—Cleaning."
That night.
A cold, ominous, scarlet "blood moon" quietly hung in the dark, deep night sky of this seemingly peaceful city.
Several agile figures, exuding a chilling aura, moved silently like top-tier "hunters" traversing the shadows of the city, stealthily making their way towards the massive "future technology building," which appeared even more cold and eerie under the blood-red moonlight.
A new "cleanup" has officially begun at this moment.
208 Kings' Cleansing: The Prelude to Iron and Blood
The Future Technology Building, a futuristic steel behemoth that symbolizes the city's cutting-edge technology and wealth on ordinary days, appears tonight, under the ominous, crimson moonlight, as a cold, silent, massive steel tomb waiting for its "prey" to come to it.
On the top floor of the building, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows made of the most robust special alloy, strong enough to withstand a direct hit from a conventional missile.
The thin young man in the white coat slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes, which were always filled with fervor and neurosis, were now cold and calm, like a thousand-year-old iceberg.
He looked out the window at the eerie, scarlet blood moon, and a morbid, self-deprecating smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"—Was it discovered that (one) Ling Yin q Si N Five blames like eight N?"
He murmured softly, in a voice only he could hear.
"No...that's not right."
"It should be said that my adorable pet, while hunting, accidentally provoked a terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex that it shouldn't have been provoked."
He slowly stood up from that technologically advanced chair.
He did not, like a panicked "loser" facing imminent disaster, choose to flee in a sorry state.
Instead, she calmly and slowly straightened her slightly wrinkled white coat.
Then, with an elegant and composed demeanor befitting a host, as if welcoming a group of 640 distinguished guests who were about to attend the banquet, he slowly began to speak.
"—Pangu."
"Guests, you have arrived."
"Activate the highest level of welcome protocol."
"Let us give a proper welcome to the noble, angry master who personally killed my beloved pet."
As his voice, filled with madness and fighting spirit, fell, so too did his voice.
The entire Future Technology Building, this cold, silent steel behemoth, seemed to awaken completely from its slumber at this moment!
Countless red electronic eyes, hidden in the walls and ceiling, filled with cold killing intent, quietly lit up!
One after another, fully automatic laser turrets and electromagnetic machine guns, built with the most cutting-edge technology and capable of tearing a main battle tank to shreds in an instant, slowly rose from beneath the mirror-like alloy ground!
In just a few seconds, the entire building transformed from a modern "business center" into a heavily guarded, chillingly murderous military fortress!
However, he, that so-called "highest level of welcoming protocol," had just been activated, less than three seconds ago.
A perfect female voice, full of intellect and gentleness, seemingly carrying a hint of divine mockery, resounded clearly in every corner of the building through the internal broadcast system.
"—Detected an outdated and flawed artificial intelligence defense system named Pangu."
"In progress, performing a forced overwrite with higher privileges..."
"Coverage complete."
"—Now, all the toys in this tin can will obey the absolute commands of my one and only supreme master."
next second.
Those laser turrets and electromagnetic machine guns that had just been raised, filled with cold killing intent, seemed to be the most obedient and loyal soldiers, unanimously turning their cannons towards their "own people" whom they had once sworn to protect with their lives!
"……What?!"
For the first time, the young man's usually stoic and composed face revealed an emotion called "shock"!
He couldn't understand!
He couldn't understand why his defense system, composed of the most advanced "Quantum A" with self-evolving capabilities, which was supposed to be "absolutely impenetrable," could be so easily turned against him by the enemy in just a few seconds!
However, before he could recover from this immense shock,
A silent "cleanup" by the most elite "hunters" from the shadows of the city has quietly begun.
The middle floor area of the building.
Dozens of fully armed mercenaries, dressed in futuristic, powered exoskeleton-inspired armor, were patrolling vigilantly.
They are the world's most elite "war machine," composed of retired special forces soldiers who have fought countless battles.
However, in the face of those two ghostly, black "Grim Reapers," their so-called "battle-hardened" abilities seemed so laughable and powerless.
Pfft——!
A cold, emotionless, blood-red blade flashed, like the most lethal and precise scalpel, silently slicing through the silence of the night.
A mercenary, caught in a blind spot, didn't even have time to scream before being killed instantly by the cursed demon sword "Murasame"!
"--who?!"
His companion reacted instantly!
However, what awaited him was another, even faster, equally deadly, black blade of light!
Red eyes and black eyes.
These two sisters, who were already used to dancing together in darkness and blood, had reached a perfect level of cooperation that transcended all language and eye contact, a true and harmonious understanding!
One is responsible for a frontal assault, drawing enemy fire.
The other is like the most deadly venomous snake, hidden in the shadows, always ready to deliver the most fatal, undefendable, and deadly blow to the enemy!
They were like two black, deathly whirlwinds traversing the steel forest, leaving behind only cold, lifeless corpses filled with fear and resentment.
And on the very bottom floor of the building.
Another, even more brutal and unreasonable "cleanup" also took place at the same time.
"Intruders! Open fire!"
Facing her was a petite, blonde girl, alone, slowly walking in through the main entrance, dressed in ominous black armor.
Dozens of automatic turrets, which the young man had forcibly regained control of using his last authority, roared at the same time!
Countless lasers and electromagnetic barrages, powerful enough to easily tear apart a load-bearing wall, instantly formed an impenetrable, absolute "net of death," frantically enveloping that seemingly vulnerable, petite figure!
However, faced with this, there is enough to make any "mortal" thing feel a desperate, steely storm.
