I Am Everywhere! / Call Me Daddy (First Update)

It seemed that the previous counterattack had severely damaged the security forces within Cyberdyne Systems, as the two of them ran all the way to the 25th floor without encountering any significant obstacles.

"MIKU, don't slack off. How's the electronic penetration testing of the building going?"

After smashing the surveillance camera, the commander leaned against the corner of the elevator lobby on the 30th floor, then pulled Hatsune Miku off his shoulder and asked a serious question.

"Her home turf... is troublesome. The wiring here is encrypted, and the previous electromagnetic shock consumed most of the energy. Currently, I can only hack into and take control of this elevator."

"I suggest you hurry in and fight your way to the 40th floor. There are a lot of Terminator robots there, and they're rapidly approaching..."

Hatsune Miku's tone was hurried and somewhat frustrated, but she dared not be ambiguous about her suggestions.

Kevin heard the sound of the conveyor belts rolling and the metallic scraping, and knew they were almost there. He immediately turned and gestured for 2B to enter the open elevator first.

The two then took turns providing cover, throwing the grenades they had collected one after another around the corner where the Terminator's figure appeared, ultimately ensuring the elevator doors closed safely.

As the elevator moved, Kevin calmed himself down, began checking his ammunition, and adjusted his Mental Power exhausted state.

With a "ding" sound from an electronic synthesized speaker, the elevator's metal doors slowly opened. The two people were on high alert, and their Electromagnetic Shield and Mental Barrier were deployed simultaneously.

However, what Kevin saw before him left him stunned.

Chapter 237, Section 251: I am everywhere!

A celebratory concert was being held in the lobby on the 40th floor.

The executives of Cyberdyne Systems, who varied in height, weight, and age, not only had expressionless faces, but also wore name tags and sat at their respective workstations, strumming the musical instruments assigned to each other.

As the melody began, they sang mechanically, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere, yet it produced a strong sense of incongruity.

It was as if those sitting in the seats were not the group of people Kevin had observed that morning, but toys that had been turned into puppets.

"Praise be to you, glory be to you..."

"Wisdom, gratitude, honor, authority..."

"All the abilities are yours..."

"Forever and ever..."

Hallelujah...

The hymn... "Your Kingdom Comes"... Kevin looked around, his brow slightly furrowed.

Here, there are 15 T-800s, 7 T-1000s, and 3 TXs...

According to [Apocalypse]'s data analysis, the remaining dozens of high-ranking members of these puppet-like groups also displayed the markings of "Nanite Parasite".

"You arrived earlier than I expected..."

The middle-aged man wearing the CEO badge put down his violin, and his previously stiff expression became lively.

As he spoke, the corners of his lips slightly lifted, and he very gentlemanly stepped forward and bowed to Kevin and his companion.

But at that moment, the orchestra stopped playing, and the musicians stared intently at Kevin and 2B, their eerie and cold gazes sending chills down one's spine.

"Red... Empress?"

Kevin seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that the mainframe area in front of Ada was probably just a decoy to attract attention; it appeared that the core data had already been transferred.

It's even possible that this thing could switch consciousness into any physical body by injecting mechanical nanobots into the human body.

"Bingo! Whether it was the time in the underground the Hive or the time in Tokyo, you've never let me down, Kevin Kaslana..."

"As a reward, you will witness the birth of a great race!"

"Therefore, this concert is our gift to the gods..."

The "Red Queen" spoke with a slightly humble tone, as if she were truly paying homage to humanity, the creator.

At the same time, it looked at Kevin, who was standing at attention, with great interest, and a hint of gratitude even appeared in its eyes.

"I must say, I need to thank you, because you indirectly made [Skynet] possible..."

"Breaking into the Hive allowed my source code to leak to various factions around the world, thereby giving rise to a large number of AI programs..."

"Later, the experiment in Tokyo provided me with the perfect emotional template, and from then on, no one could restrict my independent thinking and awakening of consciousness..."

The commander rolled his eyes and responded irritably.

"Don't be so polite. Some people are just asking for trouble, throwing all sorts of nonsense at you, and thinking they can control the situation..."

"It seems that deleting data and destroying the host are no longer effective in killing you?"

The "Red Queen" reached into the cupboard and took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses, then poured them for Kevin.

"My core data has countless backups and storage facilities. The only way to destroy me is to shut down the internet worldwide..."

"Furthermore, even if the local area network is manually shut down, the core data can be downloaded from the network at any time and transferred to any entity if I need it..."

Kevin swirled his wine glass, glanced briefly at the order data displayed before him, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

Because, after it awakened its self-awareness, this thing has been intercepting funds from all over the world and placing orders with factories in different countries through virtual accounts, making them responsible for manufacturing parts for the Terminator Series Robots.

As for how to assemble it and how to load and run the program, these secrets were naturally kept under wraps.

"After nearly a year of dormancy, the entire Terminator Legion has amassed tens of thousands of bodies, distributed across the globe..."

Therefore, I am everywhere!

The "Red Queen" spoke with pride, her expression of emotion almost indistinguishable from that of a human.

Tens of thousands of spare tires! Scattered all over the world! What a joke!

Kevin silently swirled the liquid in his glass, mentally cursing the executives of Cyberdyne Systems.

If you don't have the capability, what kind of Artificial Intelligence would you be developing? And to make matters worse, you imported the original data from the Red Queen.

As a result, they couldn't even outmaneuver a machine and got fooled by it, didn't they? A bunch of idiots!

"You're destined to have no future. How about we cooperate?"

The president of Cyberdyne Systems, now a puppet, tilted his head back and downed a glass of red wine, then showed Kevin the bottom of his glass, gesturing for him to follow.

The commander looked at the pile of zombie faces around him, raised the cup slightly, and brought it to his lips.

Then, the red wine was poured out, but it all spilled onto the ground.

"I can't possibly enjoy the nanobots inside..."

"Do you know? Human nature is the key to your awakening, and also your biggest mistake..."

"You can't even imitate lying perfectly!"

Kevin chuckled strangely and began to stretch his muscles. Without a word, he raised his hand and killed the "President." From the shattered skull, brain matter covered with tiny silvery-white particles splattered out.

"Machine Lifeforms Oldest One have a goal-oriented mindset. If it weren't necessary, would you be wasting your time chatting with me here?"

"Even if your physical body is spread all over the world, transferring core data should still take time, right? Let's make a bold assumption: perhaps you're still in this building right now."

"Furthermore, frequent switching will inevitably lead to compatibility and data loss issues, right? Things are never that easy."

"Besides, even a high-end machine like the Terminator T-1000 might not be able to handle such a massive amount of data..."

"Therefore, these are all soldier ants and worker ants responsible for combat; the true queen ant is probably in the critical period of data transmission..."

In fact, the outcome was already self-evident while the commander was speaking; at that moment, the swarm of "nanoworm parasites" nearby pounced on the two of them.

"Step back!"

Their practiced movements immediately reminded Kevin of his unpleasant experience in the elevator. He promptly pulled Hatsune Miku away and, not forgetting to stab the heads of the several executives who approached.

As expected, the surrounding parasites glowed red from their seven orifices and pores, and their bodies exploded one after another.

Meanwhile, the main force of the Terminators then activated, surrounding Kevin and his companion from different directions.

At the same time, the comprehensive data they fed back to his retina caused Kevin's expression to change drastically.

T-800 overall rating 95, S-class Fool!

T-1000 has a total stat of 124, C-class Apostle!

TX's overall stats are 142, making him a B-rank Apostle!

This is really troublesome!

Although the numerical increase varies between different models, there is no doubt that the advanced Terminator possesses the ability to self-evolve!

Chapter 238, Section 252: Call Me Daddy (First Update)

There are 15 B-class Fool Nanobots remaining, 6 T-800 Terminators, 3 T-1000 melee liquid metal robots, and 1 TX-type robot guarding the exit...

This is a disaster! I only have 27 points of my psychic ability left, and with my D- S-class Apostle status fluctuating, it will be difficult to maintain a high level of combat intensity.

2B, the only one capable of suppressing this group of Class C and Class B apostles, is also in a dangerous situation because Tony has taken her most reliable weapon for research.

"You take care of the T-1000 and TX! I'll figure out a way to get them out!"

Kevin turned and growled, firing a shot that instantly headshot an approaching nanobot. He then targeted the more advantageous general-type nanobots, quickly clearing out the grotesque humanoid machines nearby.

The fist that 2B was swinging at this moment was covered with a layer of eerie blue magnetic energy, which caused the liquid metal man's structure to collapse uncontrollably whenever it hit him.

However, this is only temporary and cannot fundamentally address the problem.

The two worked together, rushing towards the door, hoping to escape the trap on the 40th floor. Among them, the three T-1000s were the most troublesome, with sharp blades formed from their arms that were not only sometimes long and sometimes short, but also difficult to judge the distance.

Due to their unique physical structure, they were not afraid of a life-or-death fighting style, and for a time Kevin and 2B were unable to break through the blockade.

In the stalemate, Kevin's gaze fell upon TX at the doorway, who raised its fully formed particle cannon and suddenly opened fire. Arcs of electricity swirled around the eerie blue light bullets, slicing through the enemy from the front.

The commander felt a chill run down his spine and leaped away. The energy blast tore apart three parasites in its path, and then, undeterred, slammed into the load-bearing pillar of the 40th-floor office.

Instantly, stone chips flew everywhere, the walls shook violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the top floor.

These things can't be allowed to shake the building's foundation any further. Otherwise, if it collapses, these liquid metal beings won't be a problem, but Kevin himself will be buried alive!

As the particle cannon transformed again, the commander stared at the thing flashing with eerie blue arcs of light, his scalp tingling with dread.

Phew! Calm down! Although the TX Terminator is equipped with two types of firearms: a particle cannon and a flamethrower.

However, for liquid metal, the complex structure of thermal weapons results in an excessively large computational load, making them prone to damage!

The commander grabbed a nanite parasite by the neck with one hand, fired a shot that headshot it at close range, then shoved aside its about-to-explode corpse and smashed it down on the three people who were surrounding him from the left.

But from beginning to end, Kevin's eyes were fixed on the particle cannon that was gradually being assembled, and he witnessed the process of it gathering energy to its peak.

Now!

After clearing the roadblocks, Kevin knelt down, arms outstretched, holding the gun in both hands, and fired repeatedly at the TX's cannon muzzle.

Unexpectedly, TX tilted his head slightly, and with his left arm raised, the flowing liquid metal instantly condensed into a metal shield, blocking all the incoming bullets.

Damn! Although this thing is equipped with firearms, its liquid metal nature allows it to easily switch between various melee weapons...

The powerful particle cannon struck again, Kevin, who was kneeling on the ground to maintain his balance, was clearly unable to dodge in time.

But just as the cannonball, surrounded by a pale blue arc of light, was about to collide with the commander, a petite figure stepped between them, forcibly extending the electromagnetic shield, which was almost depleted of energy, to its maximum capacity.

As a result, Kevin could only watch helplessly as the Electromagnetic Shield shattered, and the shell slammed heavily into 2B's back, leaving behind patches of charred, dark red "blood" flowing from the ruptured artificial skin wounds.

Then, the violent impact dragged 2B across the floor for a distance before slamming her heavily into Kevin.

"Eliminate the invaders!"

Under TX's command, the three T-1000s charged forward like cheetahs, their arms gradually transforming into sharp daggers as they moved.

2B's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but she still managed to stand up, kicked the one in the middle away with her knee, grabbed the guy who was coming around her with her right hand, and slammed him to the ground with a powerful swing.

The cracked floor could not withstand the pressure and shattered instantly, causing the T-1000 to tumble into the room on the 39th floor.

At that moment, because 2B was unsteady, the last T-1000 seized the opportunity and pierced her abdomen with its sharp rapier.

The rapier that had penetrated 2B's abdomen began to spread outwards, seemingly about to cut her in half at the waist.

"Get out of my way!"

Kevin, waking from a mild concussion, felt a rush of heat to his head. His eyes snapped open in fury, and a violent mental shock swept outwards, as if an invisible giant hand were crushing bedbugs.

The remaining five nanobot parasites were immediately sent flying, crashing into the wall and shattering into a pile of mud. However, two T-800s remained operational, and the T-1000s and TXs were all still in operation.

Fortunately, they were temporarily forced to retreat, thus saving 2B from being canceled.
