Chapter 257
If Kiana really catches her, given her super sister-complex personality, she might just give up this rare opportunity to strike at World Serpent.
Although two of the three organizations joined forces and successfully squeezed the remaining one's living space, the heritage and foundation of the World Serpent are far beyond what the 'young' Schicksal and Anti-Entropy can immediately catch up with.
Compared to the lurking behemoth that is the World Serpent, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are far too young.
"I will assist Tesla."
"Don't worry, I'm in control now. Hmm, I've already taken back half of the control of this broken machine."
Tesla, who was engaging in a remote duel with the enemy, said smugly.
She certainly had reason to be proud. The virus that had come through the backdoor program and connected to the computer had already been driven out of Tesla's small terminal, and the two sides had opened the battlefield inside the super quantum computer.
With the computing power of super quantum computers, both viruses controlled by adversaries and antivirus programs written by Tesla have been enhanced.
At this moment, Tesla seemed to be commanding an army of thousands of red Titan Mech, launching a new battle against the enormous gray serpent that was as large as a mountain.
Tesla licked his lips, revealing an unusually excited expression.
As a top hacker, she rarely encountered such an opponent.
In fact, antivirus programs can also become viruses, and Tesla had a strong urge to break into backdoor programs and then wreak havoc on the other party's quantum computer.
The army of red Titan Mech unleashed a barrage of fire on the gray serpent.
Missiles, armor-piercing rounds, and ordinary bullets were thrown out as if they were free.
The gray python, using the backdoor program as its base, ignored the red Titan Mech fire. The artillery fire that had previously riddled it with holes hundreds of times now seemed utterly powerless against the gray python's incredibly sturdy shell.
Tesla raised an eyebrow.
What happened?
"No, it was a bit unexpected, and I didn't understand some of it, but it was very interesting!"
After answering the question, Tesla didn't seem to mind the gray python tearing through her army.
When her antivirus program was compromised by a virus, and the enemy virus once again invaded the small terminal through the connection, Tesla completed a programming exercise from scratch, which took her nearly three minutes.
The Red Titan Mech army lasted only three minutes, but that was enough for Tesla.
She's already in the zone.
At this moment, she was no longer Welt's wife, no longer Aurora's mother, nor the genius inventor who could chat and laugh with Einstein, but the world's top hacker—
"This is a virus from Previous Era! Fighting back with an antivirus program created from the virus is the only way!"
At this point, Tesla went into full-on "chuunibyou" mode.
"Descend, my Hephaestus!!!"
The gray python that invaded Tesla's small terminal was as if it had been hit by a giant's iron fist and was directly knocked out of the small terminal.
The earth trembled the moment it landed, and a colossal humanoid robot, no less massive than a giant python the size of a mountain range, stood tall, its red paint reminiscent of a blazing Vulcan.
Standing next to Tesla, Einstein was once again perplexed.
Meanwhile, with the super quantum computer as the battlefield, a colossal humanoid weapon, resembling a red giant god, clashed head-on with a gray serpent the size of a mountain range.
The incredibly sturdy gray shell shattered under the giant's iron fist, and the gray python, knocked down by the punch, let out a painful howl.
Tesla clenched his fist, and the antivirus program he created, using the opponent's virus as a template, successfully broke through the opponent's defenses.
She pressed her advantage and launched a series of attacks on the virus.
The red giant god relentlessly pounded the gray python with punch after punch. The python, unwilling to be beaten by the giant god, raised its body and rammed into the giant god's body. The heavy blow dented the sturdy armor.
Tesla was like the pilot of a giant god, using one heavy attack after another to severely damage that gray python.
"..."
Einstein hesitated for a while, feeling it was difficult to Tesla Tesla's world.
302. This is truly a surprise.
At Anti-Entropy Ark, Tesla and the hackers from World Serpent's side are engaged in a virtual duel.
Meanwhile, Freya arrived at the location where Kiana, Gray Serpent, and the others had boarded the submarine and quickly found its trail.
Yes, she found the submarine and entered it openly using the portal.
"... I really didn't expect... you have hacking skills."
Dressed in a blue-black formal suit, the Valkyrie Armor exuded an air of authority as Freya took the lead, sitting in the captain's chair in the command center.
Looking at the girl who subconsciously crossed her right leg over her left and leaned heavily against the seat, an aura of a powerful figure emanated from her.
The Gray Serpent, clad in a black cloak, fell silent.
To be honest, being caught red-handed by the girl in front of him has further amplified Gray Serpent's psychological trauma.
There was originally a clone sitting in the captain's seat, but it was moved outside the ship by the girl as she appeared.
In order to fake the travel, the submarine did indeed head towards the trench where Sea Abyss City was located. The current depth was 500 meters, and the terrifying pressure from the deep sea was almost crushing the clone.
On top of that, the smiling girl also applied gravity.
Seconds later, the clone falling towards the seabed was crushed by the pressure.
The dying experience from the clone is thus shared with other identical individuals.
The Gray Serpent clones inside the submarine all twitched involuntarily.
The few members who played Kiana, Siegfried, and other elite characters were so afraid that they dared not even breathe loudly.
The young girl who occupied the captain's seat exuded an unreasonable domineering aura.
Faced with the girl's questioning, the Gray Serpent fell silent once again.
"I admit, you outsmarted me this time..."
The girl who narrowed her eyes was Freya, and she was very angry at the moment.
She had to admit that she had underestimated the Gray Serpent, which led to this bitter consequence.
At this point, she glanced at the young girl impersonating Kiana. With the technology of the Previous Era, it wouldn't be difficult to create a disguise that could deceive the cameras of the current civilization.
Even though she thought she had been very cautious, she still underestimated the World Serpent Organization.
It was precisely because the surveillance cameras had just captured footage of them entering the water that the possibility that they might have set off earlier was overlooked.
"... You had already set off before this news was even released."
From the moment Kiana and Gray Serpent made their decision, to the time the message was relayed through Cocolia, and then to the series of preparations and standoffs before the battle, there was enough time for them to choose the most circuitous route.
Freya subconsciously performed calculations and quickly arrived at the most probable solution.
"You will descend from both ends of the trench, and then gradually approach Sea Abyss City from the bottom of the trench."
This bold yet meticulous approach clearly has some of Kiana's style.
"It must have been Kiana's idea. She knew I would be monitoring you, so you set off before the information was even passed on to Cocolia..."
Freya pressed her full weight onto the captain's seat and let out a heavy sigh.
While she wanted to be happy about her older sister's growth, she was also worried about Kiana's safety on this trip.
Even if the World Serpent possessed technological heritage from Previous Era, and the submarine they were aboard was certainly extraordinary, crossing the bottom of the Mariana Trench was ultimately a dangerous undertaking.
The trench stretches 2,550 kilometers from Iwo Jima in the north to near Yap Island in the southwest. It is arc-shaped, with an average width of 70 kilometers and a maximum depth of 6 to 11 kilometers, making it the deepest known point in the ocean.
Of course, this is questionable, since no one has found a deeper trench than this.
This area has high water pressure, complete darkness, low temperature, low oxygen content, and scarce food resources, making it one of the harshest environments on Earth.
Freya really didn't expect Kiana to give her a Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea attack.
That is the deepest part of the world's oceans. Even if there are doubts, the terrifying water pressure is enough to crush the most advanced submarines of various countries.
Seeing that Gray Serpent's body suddenly stopped trembling, Freya, who was domineeringly occupying the captain's seat, knew that the clone she had thrown out was finished, and Gray Serpent finally caught its breath.
"That's good, that's how we can establish communication." Freya smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Although she wanted to send the submarine into the Imaginary Space it could be a happy little boat there, her primary goal right now was to find Kiana and the others' true location.
Otherwise, when she starts dealing with the World Serpent army, she might be stopped by Kiana.
Freya hoped that Welt could stop Kiana, but given Kiana's abilities, Welt's Herrscher powers would likely be useless.
Fortunately, the Raiden Ryoma, clad in full-body special armor, was stationed in the city square of Sea Abyss City.
With his and Welt working together, and given that Siegfried will definitely change his stance, the three of them are more than capable of dealing with Kiana at full power and a few elites like Gray Serpent.
Perhaps sensing that the psychological trauma inflicted by the Gray Serpent had expanded once again, Freya's mood immediately became very pleasant.
The Gray Serpent possesses numerous clones, and its main body appears to be a collective consciousness. The consciousness of these bodies is all concentrated in a single consciousness network, sharing the same memories.
In other words... each clone is the body of the Gray Serpent, so the death of each clone is equivalent to the death of the Gray Serpent.
From the Jackal's instigation of a full-scale war to the rapid defeat of Shencheng Medicine, the World Serpent Organization found itself in an extremely passive situation.
Gray Serpent made a wrong decision, but the real reason that traumatized him was that when the Schicksal was hunting down members of World Serpent, Freya would arrive at the scene as quickly as possible wherever he was and cruelly kill Gray Serpent...
Even at this moment, Freya was thinking about how to cruelly kill the Gray Serpent clones inside the submarine.
Originally, Freya was only hunting down World Serpent's executives, but after discovering that World Serpent's executives were such a thing, she intensified her crackdown on Gray Serpent.
It was this unreasonable and domineering nature that made the Gray Serpent tremble like a little lamb.
"You probably wouldn't mind having a proper chat with me... I'd really like to try sealing one of your clones in a world of darkness, but I don't know if your main body can unilaterally sever the connection with the clone."
Freya was indeed very curious about the Gray Serpent, whose body and consciousness were all concentrated in a single consciousness network. If one of his clones was unable to move but was fully conscious, and the surrounding area was completely dark, she wondered if he would stop thinking.
When one of the clones stops thinking, will it affect the consciousness network?
Freya was naturally worried that the Gray Serpent's main body would unilaterally interrupt the connection of consciousness, but coincidentally, Otto had acquired a device that was essentially a mental magnifying glass, capable of enhancing mental connection capabilities.
Well, in Otto's words—this is quite a surprise.
"... Lord Freya, please allow me to apologize to you... but the leader of this operation is our acting leader."
"Don't talk to me about this. If you could just commit suicide quickly, Kiana wouldn't have brought up this operation. If you sincerely apologize, you should lead the members of World Serpent to commit suicide. My ammunition doesn't grow on trees, and I don't want to waste it on a bunch of paranoids who only know how to cause internal strife."
Freya's answer was to take the unreasonable path.
Moreover, he is exceptionally vicious, which is far removed from the image that Schicksal promotes to the outside world.
Gray Serpent was completely distraught.
He had never heard of such an unreasonable answer before.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh, die!!!"
Just then, a World Serpent member whose psychological trauma had increased too much raised his revolver, and then his body was sliced into pieces by several beams of light that swept past.
Vomit--
Upon witnessing such a gruesome scene, the members in the command center felt nauseous.
Although Gray Serpent had seen many storms and witnessed many more cruel ways of dying on battlefields around the world, he had been killed by Freya in this way before.
My psychological trauma involuntarily erupted.
Meanwhile, inside the Anti-Entropy Ark, in the battlefield opened up by the Second Generation Super Quantum Computer, a top-level hacker duel was taking place. Tesla's antivirus program once again eliminated the virus program, gaining a slight advantage. If it weren't for the fact that the virus used by Gray Serpent could be resurrected, this vanguard battle would have ended with Tesla's victory long ago.
However, at this point, Tesla was also wondering who had helped her.
After all, the Previous Era could not defeat the Herrscher of Finality, and was even utterly crushed by the Herrscher of Finality. However, the Previous Era experienced thirteen Herrscher, and when the fourteenth Herrscher of Finality descended, its rapidly developing technology far surpassed that of the current civilization era by countless years.
However, war is indeed a catalyst for accelerating technological development. Every time a world war breaks out, human civilization's technology develops rapidly.
The war against the Herrscher is no different from a series of world wars.
In other words, the Previous Era experienced at least thirteen world wars.
"Sorry, it slipped..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Void Ribbons, controlled by Freya's consciousness, transformed into a smooth and comfortable scarf, wrapping around the necks of all the members except for a few Gray Serpent clones.
"Lord Freya!!"
Gray Serpent felt truly wronged and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
