Chlorine Sodium's Arknights

"Altitude, 7000, entering designated airspace."

Above the clouds, a massive dark silhouette was slowly descending, using the cover of night.

"Thirty seconds left, disengage automatic attitude adjustment."

Gripping the control stick, the pilot steadied the aircraft shuddering in the turbulence, maintaining stability to drop the cargo into the intended orbit.

"This is the power of technology."

This was a modified frontline bomber, a special-purpose aircraft, so it still retained its ground observation scope. A middle-aged man in a white lab coat was looking at the raging fires on the ground through the scope, sneering.

The traditional army's operations against the Snow Demon had already failed, and of course, this was only to be expected, as that was the extent of the traditional army's value. Technology was the ultimate path!

And today, right here, he, the deputy director of the Sarcophagus Research Institute, would prove the value of technology!

And the [cargo] loaded beneath this massive frontline bomber, the [Apostle], was a creation of technology.

A weapon of war born specifically to deal with the Snow Demon.

"The power of a God," armed and bound by human fangs and chains!

"Twenty seconds."

The navigator announced the final countdown, looking at the instruments.

The miracle of a God was within reach, and these twenty seconds were the final distance between the new era and the old.

At least, that's what the deputy director believed.

Although Director Kal'tsit did not look favorably upon his plan, she did not outright dismiss it. Furthermore, he had unexpectedly obtained a secret that even Director Kal'tsit did not know.

It was a massive secret from the central core of the [Apostle], a secret so immense it could shake the entire history of the world.

Because of this secret, he had enough confidence to eliminate this Snow Demon and forge his own legend!!

He not only did not hate the Snow Demon, but he was grateful for it. If not for it, the deputy director would not have had such an opportunity, such a close opportunity to create history!!!

And now, he was ready to welcome his first victory.

And technology was invincible!!!

PS: Just woke up. As expected, people need to catch up on sleep. After sleeping, I feel so much more energetic [hands on hips].

The first volume is finally nearing its end. The second volume is tentatively planned to be set in Lungmen.

However, it's more of a prequel. After all, I glanced at the timeline I wrote, and FrostNova isn't grown up yet, so Chen definitely isn't either. I'm wondering if I should write about the Lungmen Incident back then, when Talulah was kidnapped and Hoshiguma wasn't a police officer yet.

And the era when Swire would get kidnapped.

It's about right, but I still need to write the outline. Ah, it's so tiring. Writing always requires constantly looking up information, and Hypergryph keeps writing new things.

But it's great to be recommended!!!

The increase in favorites in one day is the same as a week's worth before. I'm shocked. This wave, this wave is going to take off.

Come hang out in the group chat when you have time ahhhhhh!!!!

There are over a thousand favorites, but there aren't even fifty people in the group chat, sob sob sob.

Section 35 Chapter Thirty-Five [The Beginning of the Deathmatch]

Inside the cabin, green indicator lights lit up one by one.

"First contact complete, initiating second contact..."

"A5 neural connection check normal..."

"Buffer fluid filling normal, liquid neural connection normal..."

The green lights lit up one by one until the last indicator light turned red.

"Central processing complete, [Umbilical Cord] disconnected, cognitive center awakened!"

Directly beneath the massive frontline bomber, embedded in a deep chamber formed by explosive bolts and fixed armor, amber eyes slowly lit up in the dim darkness.

"Synchronization rate reached seventy percent!"

"Ha, not bad. As expected of the treasure I spent a fortune to acquire. You can detach now."

As the explosive bolts detonated one after another, the cargo, originally fixed to the underside of the aircraft, fell into the howling wind, pulled by gravity.

Only when it fell into the wind could one see what the descending object above the clouds truly was.

It was a giant "person."

At least, it was something that maintained a human form. And because it was directly above the battlefield, the descending giant human figure was about to fall into the very center of the battlefield!!!

[Is this... that?]

The amber eyes darted back and forth within the dark core chamber, enveloped by buffer fluid, as if searching for something called self.

However, she could not find such a thing, but she did recall... some content that wasn't there before.

Slaughter!

It was a sudden desire to kill, as if a valve had been opened, and black emotions instantly condensed into surging killing intent in her mind!

The target of the killing intent, however, inexplicably locked onto a figure on the ground, impossibly small.

Kill her… kill her…

"Kill her!!"

Who I am, where I am, it all doesn't matter!

I don't know who I am, or even where I am, yet she knows she has to kill the guy she sees before her eyes!!!!

Behind the restraints binding her to the chair were numerous syringes connected to the central distribution system behind the seat.

Addictive drugs for nerve excitation and pain relief were injected into her bloodstream without restraint. Pain would only turn into affection, and all emotions would eventually become a desire to kill the fixed target.

As her will raged, mechanical gears turned the transmission, setting the giant "humanoid" in motion.

The piercing scream also caught Chlorine Sodium's attention.

"Wow, what is that."

Her golden eyes narrowed, looking up at the night sky.

A massive shadow stretched slowly, until a sound of earth shattering rang out.

The ground trembled, and the permafrost that had never melted for millennia was shattered by a blast. The impact kicked up countless corpses from the ground, which were then thrown into the air along with the snow curtain stirred up by the gale.

"BOOM!!!"

"What is this?!"

Grand Duke Ivanov Kim Yuspov stared dumbfounded at everything unfolding before him. A colossal metal giant stood tall on the earth, and the so-called Snow Demon appeared before him. The initial surprise had already made the middle-aged man struggle to breathe, but this scene made his blood pressure spike again.

What the hell is this thing?! This wasn't part of the arrangements! Where did it come from?! Why would it know the location of this operation?!!!

But none of it mattered anymore, because the Snow Demon lost interest in him the moment it saw the colossal, pitch-black giant.

It vanished from his sight in an instant, yet he felt no relief whatsoever.

Ignored, the old man who had once commanded armies and ruled from the command center now instantly lost control of the entire situation. It was like riding a bus past your stop; you had no idea where the next stop would be, but you couldn't stop it or know how things would unfold. He felt utterly alone, as if swept into a corner.

"What is this?"

It was a monstrous thing, about thirty meters tall, clad entirely in black metal armor. The sounds of its gears and the ill-fitting armor seams at its joints revealed countless silent mechanical structures at work.

And on its head, resembling a beast's face, a pair of crimson eyes stopped as they swept over Chlorine Sodium. In that instant, an insane killing intent practically overflowed into the air!!

It wasn't anger, nor hatred, but rather a boundless rage, a frenzied, neurotic, and manic killing intent.

To put it in perspective, it was like shoving a meat grinder into your brain, causing it to glitch when processing data. The reason for the anger in the first half was shredded by the blades, leaving only the latter half—the specific actions of anger—to generate biofuel for the meat grinder.

Bloody, with a hint of rust. Sparks, with a splash of blood.

Chlorine Sodium had never seen anything like this before.

"██████ (&…………%＃￥!!!!!!"

The lower jaw's armor was suddenly torn open by immense force! The serrated connection structure, originally at the joint of the armor, instantly became sharp teeth covering the metallic monster!

An incomprehensible shriek deafened them. The wounded soldiers still clinging to life on the battlefield instantly suffered ruptured eardrums, or even had their heads explode, the moment the shriek reached them!!!

"Run!! Run fast!!"

"What kind of monster is this ahhhhhh!!!"

"My ears!! My ears!!"

The military formation, which had been maintaining some semblance of order while retreating, completely collapsed. In this battlefield, akin to one involving gods, mortals became the most pathetic cannon fodder. Even mere collateral damage was a catastrophe for them!!!

And the figure locked in the disposable cockpit stared intently at the silver-haired beauty floating in mid-air, as seen through the viewscreen. Then, driven by its own will, it directed the giant humanoid combat weapon to condense its killing intent.

Unstable energy, laced with crimson arcs of electricity, gathered around the giant humanoid weapon, finally converging on the massive reactors in its hands!

Its hands flipped outward, and a crimson light spear erupted.

If this attack hit, even a mountain would be instantly vaporized!

"Nice aura…

But alas… all struggles will be in vain."

Just as the light was about to strike Chlorine Sodium directly, the girl snapped her fingers…

ps: Almost overslept. Should have scheduled the release for last night. Jet lag is so tiring [slumped]

Section 36 Chapter 36 [Fierce Battle]

[Pair with "the beast" for better effect]

"You wish to bare your fangs at a god, beast?"

Her golden eyes, stained gold by the energy, reflected the colossal mecha. Yet, Chlorine Sodium's gaze was filled with disdain.

No self, only the instinctual desire to tear apart whoever it sees. What else could it be but a mad dog?

"The times are truly changing. Even a rabid dog dares to bare its teeth at a god now?"

The Herrscher of the Void's primordial authority is to control space itself.

For example, changing the direction of space...

Whether it's a ray, a solid beam, or a laser, any weapon with a [direction] attribute is useless against the Herrscher of the Void.

This is because direction is simply a plaything in Chlorine Sodium's hands.

With a snap of her fingers, the space before the girl immediately shattered.

A Herrscher is like an anchor connecting the imaginary dimension and the real dimension, and a Herrscher's authority comes from the imaginary dimension.

As space shattered, the anchor pulled a corner of the imaginary dimension into real space. A colossal imaginary gate instantly opened, and the death line, which had been unstoppable and could even evaporate mountains in an instant, smashed directly into the spatial gate.

As long as she willed it, the projectiles opposite would never be able to inflict any real damage on the Herrscher.

Especially the Herrscher of the Void.

However, this was merely a low-level tactic, and Chlorine Sodium was a mature and experienced villain.

The next instant, high above the metallic giant, an imaginary gate suddenly opened, and the death line previously fired by the giant erupted towards its master!!

A purple beam of light instantly blazed across the night sky, and astonishing heat shot directly towards the ground. The permafrost, unmelted for millennia, began to dissolve, and a massive amount of white mist steamed and spread before their eyes.

"Boring..."

It seemed this forbidden technique's giant was merely a mad dog acting on instinct, unable to even dodge such a low-level attack.

But before the girl could prepare to retract her authority and flee, the white smoke was violently torn apart by a hurricane!

On the battlefield covered in smoke and dust, the humanoid weapon [Apostle] was not dead.

It was running.

Mountains trembled, and every step it took left giant footprints on the earth, like those left by a monster passing through.
