A2's Lies / The Lazy Princess Who Can Only Shout "666"

You've finally arrived! My [World Tree] team!

In fact, Kevin had been thinking about how to put the game-like evolution masters like Asuna Yuuki into practical combat.

During the second Calamity Mission, the End R**e, a humanoid Mecha Soldier that could be remotely controlled from a holographic cockpit within the Toko City, greatly inspired him.

The subsequent events surrounding Hatsune Miku demonstrated the virtual world's ability to interfere with reality.

Then, during the third Calamity Mission, he had contact with Tony's Iron Man Armor and Skynet's Terminator Force.

With the support of a vast knowledge system, the creation of Hatsune Miku and the body reconstruction of 2B have come to a perfect end.

In reality, Kevin's team of scientists has consistently channeled the vast majority of resources into two secret projects.

That is, the "World Tree Project" and the "Pandora Project"!

The so-called "[World Tree] Project" refers to their dedication to combining "VR Virtual Reality Technology" with "Tactical Mech miniaturization" to create mech units that can be remotely controlled by users.

The "[Pandora] Project" involves the SCP Foundation training and selecting pilots worldwide through the games Sword Art Online and Gun Gale Online, and then incorporating them into the Foundation's system.

Therefore, Akihiko Kayaba named the holographic control device the [World Tree] system, symbolizing that its roots extend to every corner and its branches and leaves can protect and nourish the Tree of Life of the Nine Worlds in Norse Mythology.

These miniaturized Tactical Mech, which integrate multiple technologies, are called Pandora mechs by Kevin. The name comes from ancient Greek mythology and means "to seek hope in the bottom of the box in times of disaster."

For Kevin and his team who averted the natural disaster, this was undoubtedly a trump card to turn the tide; if used properly, it could save countless lives.

Meanwhile, those carefree teenagers simply lay in life support pods, remotely controlling miniature Tactical Mech through their own thoughts, and thoroughly enjoyed a game that connected with reality.

This is the optimal solution Kevin could think of, considering everything.

At the same time, this is also the gentlest protection that the BSAA and SCP Foundation can offer to young people.

Since the coldness of the world must eventually be faced, then we will create armor for you to resist all harm!

However, the ability to complete two projects so quickly is not only due to the contributions of Artificial Intelligence such as Hatsune Miku.

In addition, we should also thank the Stark family for their complete industrial system, as well as the inspiration from enemies such as Ouma Mana, Sugou Nobuyuki, and Skynet.

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger! This is the belief that Kevin and his friends have in creating miracles!

As the seven members of the [World Tree] team faced a combined attack from forty or fifty Terminator robots, they gradually found themselves in a fierce battle. The transport plane once again swept across the sky, scattering a new round of "seeds".

"Shinomiya Ayase!"

"Kusama Kanon!"

"Kōjō Matsuri!"

"Sakurami Atsushi!"

"Kansawa Kuzu!"

"Arisa Gofuin!"

"Yuzuriha Inori!"

"SCP Foundation Team Three - [Funeral Parlor], all in position!"

A new type of Tactical Mech unit, with different paint schemes and joints inlaid with purple-red crystal fragments, has arrived!

P. S.: How to expand SCP's influence and perfectly link characters from different universes? Let me just say I'm not sure.

Currently, the SCP Foundation has three dedicated teams.

1. Wolf Pack Squad: Responsible for Bio-terrorism counter-terrorism and handling the aftermath, operating in the shadows.

2. World Tree Squad: Skilled gamers, adept at piloting various miniature Tactical Mech, both ranged and melee-type. (Sword Art Online)

3. Funeral Parlor Squad: Void Ability User, capable of using Void Ability with the aid of Apocalypse Virus crystal fragments on their Tactical Mech. Special type, positioned as a mage and support. (Guilty Crown)

The rest is pending.

By the way, I recommend the sci-fi short film "The Uncanny Valley," which was partly inspired by it.

Chapter 261, Section 275: A2's Lie

"Arisa, 12 o'clock! Strength calculation complete! Output power 75%, elevation angle 30 degrees, coverage diameter 12 meters! Cover the commander's retreat!"

"Jisai, provide support to [World Tree] Unit 3! Also, monitor the damage to Unit 4!"

"Shu, Yuzuriha Inori, coordinate with the Konno Sisters to charge in! Take down those three TXs in their charge-up phase!"

At this moment, the purplish-red light on the head plate of the Tactical Mech piloted by Kusama Kanon lit up.

The dense battlefield data was automatically projected into her pupils, and her brain, developed by the Apocalypse Virus, quickly integrated and analyzed it.

The specific instructions, transmitted through their own consciousness and thought network programs, were transmitted to the members of the [Funeral Society].

Having already undergone numerous trials and training sessions at Crawford Castle, the group was quite adept at this and began a meticulous division of labor and cooperation.

The atmosphere on the field was electric. His carefully nurtured prodigies, with their enhanced perception thanks to the virus, allowed their extended mechanical bodies to be commanded with ease, moving without the slightest hesitation.

The design of these mechanical bodies referenced several technologies, including the Terminator, Sentinel Robot, Toko City mechs, Tony Iron Man Armor, and YoRHa Unit's androids.

Therefore, each one is the culmination of scientists' hard work in developing a product tailored to the characteristics of different drivers. It combines functionality and flexibility, and with the consideration of defensive capabilities, it also incorporates a portion of vibranium.

Even more interestingly, the liquid metal concept from the Terminator Series Robots has also been incorporated into it.

The only drawback is the high cost, limited production, and extremely high skill requirements for pilots. (The SCP Foundation is responsible for collecting materials and making payments.)

However, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, it basically meets the requirements.

Currently, with the support of the US S.H.I.E.L.D.., the Japanese Ministry of Defense, high-ranking British officials, the Kaslana Family of Scandinavia, and other forces, the BSA Group A is gradually getting on the right track.

The global Bio-terrorism counter-terrorism missions have increased the workload, and the combined strength of Teams Group A and Group B is already stretched thin.

The two BSA Team A that put aside their current tasks to rush to Los Angeles to provide support have actually violated some of the rules of the game.

After all, given the arrogance of the Americans, they would find it difficult to tolerate other armed forces entering their territory, even if it is done under the guise of the United Nations.

If BSAA members are rashly mobilized to provide support in Las Vegas, it would be difficult to negotiate with Stark Industries and S.H.I.E.L.D.., who are already under pressure.

Furthermore, as Los Angeles is Skynet's headquarters, Kevin cannot definitively determine how much potential power they still have lurking around Stark Industries Tower.

Therefore, to ensure the safety of the scientist team and 2B, BSA Team A cannot be easily mobilized.

On the contrary, compared to living people, these mechanical bodies, built by Stark Industries with all their might, are not only highly mobile but also easy to deploy to specific locations, leaving little room for messes—they are simply perfect!

Therefore, in this operation, Kevin ordered BSA Team A to guard Stark Industries Tower and ensure the stability of the rear; on the other hand, he secretly put the World Tree System, which had been initially tested, into use.

Everything was even more perfect than expected; his painstaking efforts had not been in vain.

In the battle, the two squads coordinated their attacks and continuously made infiltration and breakthroughs.

At this moment, Kevin picked up Sarah and calmly retreated.

The mechanical entity operated by Arisa Gofuin followed closely beside Kevin, its petal-shaped shield always hovering above the commander's head, intercepting all high-intensity attacks such as bullets and particle cannons.

But prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Two T-1000s, with enhanced leg mechanical operation, darted like grasshoppers into the blind spot covered by the round shield, their arms, sharpened into rapiers, stabbing one after the other towards Kevin's heart and lungs.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

With a soft tearing sound, the blue-purple Void Greatsword slashed horizontally, neatly cleaving them in two.

Even more terrifying, T-1000, which originally intended to reassemble its body, suddenly discovered that purplish-red crystals were growing rampantly on the smooth cut, and the active liquid metal was being rapidly corroded and destroyed.

It's important to understand that the Apocalypse Virus is a "special natural disaster" capable of decomposing both mechs and buildings, and its destructive power against liquid metal is undeniable.

After eliminating the crisis facing Kevin, Yuzuriha Inori grasped the Void Greatsword and charged forward again, leaving trails of severed limbs in her wake.

Death! Slaughter! The girl's innocent heart was enjoying it all, a strange pleasure that even made her bones tremble and her soul groan in comfort.

"Line 4, Clear! 1500 meters away, helicopter on standby!"

On the church Clock Tower, Shino Asada pulled the trigger repeatedly, sniping the TX Terminator who was running on all fours like a cheetah, while simultaneously transmitting a safe escape Pathway to the commander.

Kevin nodded slightly, leaped into the alleyway, and prepared to meet up with Hatsune Miku and the others ahead.

But as Sarah gradually increased the distance, the Terminator robots on the scene launched a relentless attack, putting immense pressure on the two teams' weak defenses.

Worse still, behind the Terminators, a short-range teleportation device resembling a gear was quickly erected, and space began to distort slightly.

Dozens of "Hunter Killer" T-50 drones swarmed out from the thin-film-like Spatial Rift and began to suppress the two squads with intense firepower. New reinforcements had also arrived.

Kevin looked back, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Leave it to me, quick!"

The A2, leaning against the wall at the intersection, waved to Kevin and Sarah, and a helicopter was visible on the helipad not far away.

The moment the two sides closed to ten meters, the commander's eyes darkened. He immediately supported Sarah with his left hand, preparing to complete the handover, while solemnly pounding his chest with his right hand, his expression grave.

May the Glory of Humanity endure forever!

A2 instinctively pounded his chest with his right hand in response to Kevin.

May the Glory of Humanity endure forever!

As they saluted, the distance between them narrowed to three steps. The commander smiled, but his free right hand gripped the badge tightly. He summoned the Skyfire Greatsword and swung it down suddenly.

Amidst the crackling sound of flames exploding, A2's body became ethereal, drifting away like dust and mist.

The sight of the helicopter so close at hand was suddenly distorted and shattered; in the dark alley, a tall, blonde beauty stood with a gloomy expression.

Beneath her feet lay a layer of silvery-gray metallic dust—the inactive nanobots!

"To show respect for humanity, the Yuhar Robot Unit always salutes with their left hand. You bunch of idiots who don't know how to revere the Creator!"

Kevin gently placed the somewhat dazed Sarah in the corner, and when he faced the T-3000 again, his tone was sarcastic.

Holographic projection... self-decomposition and recombination... and seemingly signal-isolating nanomechanical insects floating all around...

Furthermore... the data for Knight-class cannot be accurately estimated...

Having stumbled into a trap, the commander, who was trying his best to buy time, found himself receiving no response from anyone else, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Chapter 262, Section 276: The Salted Fish Princess Who Only Knows How to Shout "666"

Flash puncture!

Kevin's initial attack missed, but he turned his clumsy move into a skillful one. His Skyfire Greatsword blazed with flames and, like a viper spitting its tongue, launched a cunning and darting attack.

This stemmed from the technique used with the rapier, a seemingly gentle yet dangerous approach that caught the T-3000 off guard, resulting in the incineration of some of the nanobots.

However, in pursuit of explosive power and a fatal blow, the commander used too much force when he thrust his sword out, leaving his upper body wide open.

The T-3000, having created some distance, slammed its right leg into the ground, sending clusters of Azure Ice Crystal spreading out and piercing towards Kevin 'Kevin feet.

Immediately, before Kevin could regain his footing and retreat, a violent gust of wind swept over the T-3000.

Mind Impact!

Kevin's pupils constricted. The distortion formed by his Mental Field neutralized the cutting force of the wind pressure, but his remaining 28 points of Mental Power immediately dropped below 20, and his head spun.

"Laugh!"

An ice spear appeared in the T-3000's palm, and then the monster's arm became metallic, flexible, and twisted like a large, charged slingshot, before it hurled the spear.

"Puff!"

Unable to dodge in time, Kevin could only slightly adjust his posture to avoid a fatal blow. But the blade still pierced through his Mental Field, went straight through his right shoulder, and pinned him to the wall.

These abilities... Storm and Iceman's X-Gene! The Terminator has begun incorporating the characteristics of Sentinel Robot!

Although its power is less than one-tenth of the original, this is indeed a talent of the Sentinel Robot!

"Master!"

Just as the commander was in trouble, Hatsune Miku, rushed in and immediately let out a high-pitched scream.

The high-frequency oscillating sound waves caused the air to twist violently, and the T-3000, which was directly hit, was shaken apart and was difficult to reassemble for a while.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kevin groaned as he pulled out the ice gun, took out two vials of T-Virus gene repair agent with his left hand, and poured them directly into his mouth. The pink muscles at the wound began to wriggle and heal.

Then, the commander grabbed the unconscious Sarah, swung her arm and threw her toward Hatsune Miku, simultaneously relinquishing control of the Skyfire Greatsword and drawing the Electromagnetic Hand Cannon from his waist with his left hand. He then fired in rapid succession.

"Walk!"

Hatsune Miku burst in from behind and immediately surrounded Sarah. Kevin's low growl made her feet rooted to the spot, making it difficult for her to move.

I wasn't worried about your safety at all! What about the concert you promised? What about the lyrics? What about the album? What about your manager? You irresponsible big liar!
