The Creators: From Night City

Page 384

If Jiang Bing hadn't spared Saburo Arasaka's life before Ultraman entered God, and if he hadn't needed to make Saburo Arasaka's death more 'reasonable', the hovercar he was riding would have been blown into a firework on the eve of landing.

I haven't received the gold and silver yet.

Didn't get it, didn't get it.

I haven't received the gold and silver yet.

My beautiful lady.

Jiang Bing was just like Johnny from "The Shining," humming lighthearted nursery rhymes while his men were doing the most terrifying work.

Drones, shred them!

Rebellious waiter, chop him up!

Self-defense robots, shred them!

Thick walls and solid ramparts, shred them!

The sound of the cane hitting the ground was almost like a death knell, closely following behind Saburo Arasaka's fleeing group.

Until he discovered something new.

Inside the mansion, another group was hastily preparing to evacuate, while Arasaka Hanako was being dragged forward by the guards with a look of panic in her eyes.

The antique-style Japanese sliding door in front of them was chopped into pieces, the bamboo door shattering in all directions, and a figure appeared in front of them.

Jiang Bing's advance was too fast, exceeding all the defense plans for this courtyard.

This resulted in Jiang Bing blocking Arasaka Hanako's security team in the courtyard before they even reached the location of the escape route.

Dressed in all black, Oda Santayu, as Arasaka Hanako's personal bodyguard, drew his sword and charged forward without hesitation.

Jinzhongmaru's blade was instantly deflected by the cane.

In an instant, a white streak of light flashed, the blade slashing like a waterfall.

In the blink of an eye, Hanako Arakawa's guards, her servants, and everyone around her turned into pieces of corpses.

She couldn't help but scream.

Until the sharp edge of the staff and sword gently touched her fair neck, her pampered life offered her no help, and even power could not prevent the chills that ran through her skin where the blade touched.

Hanako Arakawa thought she was going to die.

But the next moment, the demon simply stared into her eyes and slowly withdrew his staff and sword.

"Take it with swords and spears"

Go and take it, go and take it…

Suddenly, amidst the bloodstains all around, Jiang Bing stepped over the corpses scattered on the ground, humming the nursery rhyme that would become Arasaka Hanako's lifelong nightmare, and slowly walked away.

Arakasaka Tower, 30th floor.

If Adam Hammer hadn't lost his excretory organs, he probably would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

Throughout his life in the military, he had never seen anyone wield the mantis knife with such ruthlessness, precision, and madness.

He met him today.

Two blurry shadows were locked in a fierce battle inside the spacious interior of Arasaka Tower, the industrial-style decor, dominated by black, already a mess.

"Take it with swords and spears"

My beautiful lady..."

In the world where time stands still, old Logan's hoarse voice is stretched out until it becomes distorted and twisted, making a perfectly good children's song sound like a terrifying forbidden song.

Vincent is swinging his sword.

Slashing to the music.

Adam Hammer's Dragoon armor offers outstanding defensive capabilities, theoretically capable of withstanding artillery fire from mainstream main battle tanks. This gives the enemy a significant cost of trial and error in combat.

But at this moment, the shoulder armor on the opponent's left shoulder had already been cut in half, and on the heavy bulletproof plate installed on his chest, there was a huge 'X' slash that went deep into the bone.

A thin layer of white frost had seeped into the bearings of Adam Hammer's body, while the melting marks from the high temperature directly melted his missile launch slots.

These are all Vincent's masterpieces.

The dragoons' armor was thick, and even the mantis blade from the 'craftsman' was not ineffective against them.

Those were two very beautiful mantis knives.

The slender blade is like a cicada's wing, with three mysterious runes that Adam Hammer cannot understand engraved on its surface.

The two mantis knives, using some unknown technology, emitted white frost from one and radiated astonishing heat from the other as Vincent activated them.

When Vincent sliced ​​through Adam Hammer's arm armor and half of his arm during a parry, Adam Hammer already considered retreating.

Before he could exit Sianwistan mode, he retreated, attempting to escape the battlefield.

But the moment his foot, equipped with a hydraulic stabilizer, touched the ground at the exit, a shotgun barrel seemed to foreseeably slam into his face.

"boom!"

A flash of light appeared.

Old Logan's body was propelled backward by the enormous recoil, sliding about half a meter before finally coming to a stop.

This specially made 'needle' shotgun is ridiculously powerful.

Of course, the weapons produced by 'craftsmen' are mostly unreasonable in terms of power.

Adam Hammer's head exploded instantly with the scorching jet of water shooting from the gun barrel, flesh and broken metal skull mixed with the torrent of metal spraying backward, covering a large area of ​​the wall behind him.

With the sound of the shotgun being ejected, a specially made high-explosive cartridge case, painted red, fell to the ground with a clinking sound.

Adam Hammer collapsed to the ground without a sound, his story ending abruptly.

The people present couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.

Is that all there is to the living legend of Night City?

The scene was a bit awkward.

"Well done!" Mann was the first to speak.

"Let's keep going," Old Logan said, reloading his gun and continuing onward.

On the 31st floor, they encountered almost no decent guards, since all the building's security forces had been redeployed to the ground floor to fight the 'Apostles'.

After all, compared to their surgically precise special forces team, the 'Apostles' home-destroying attacks seemed to pose a much greater threat.

The 'Apostles' waged an indoor war in one word.

fry!

There's no such thing as ambushing around corners, wedging against walls, or using rooms for close-quarters combat.

The office walls were completely blasted flat, and doors and windows were no longer there. Apart from the load-bearing walls, the first thing the 'Apostles' did on each floor was to blast flat all the walls in front of them, thus creating a field of fire.

With the main firepower drawn, the biggest obstacle the four encountered on their way to 'God's Harmony' was Adam Hammer.

Of course, there was also the intrusion of about a dozen hackers.

Chapter 789 Finally Entering Godhood

However, after Mann, shielding the network connection chamber with machine guns pressed against the passageway wall, stormed into the network access room and physically opened them up, their threat completely disappeared.

At this moment, the only obstacle blocking everyone's way to the 'God and the World' access point was a blast-proof door that had been locked by hackers in advance.

In this operation, the members of Anti-Entropy did not receive any help from Ultraman. Not only did the Anti-Entropy forces below face the full strength of Arasaka, but the action team also had to contend with the all-out efforts of Arasaka's security system.

Without Ultraman's help, it's only natural that the door was locked in advance, knowing it was no match for the hacker.

Of course, explosion-proof doors are not truly absolutely explosion-proof.

When Mann took out the specially made "Sun Nail" molten matrix bomb from behind his back, the metal door, which was a meter thick, instantly lost its function.

The ring frame, made of high-strength titanium alloy composite material, can firmly fix the entire system to the target door, forming an absolutely sealed working area to prevent energy leakage.

Hundreds of miniature directional plasma nozzles were activated simultaneously, ejecting extremely high-temperature needle-shaped plasma jets that, like countless scorching needles, precisely cut and melted through the thick metal of the door.

The last gate blocking the way for 'God and God' is about to be breached.

The door to the safe house blocking Saburo Arasaka's way is about to be breached.

The Arasaka family's garden contains a safe house capable of withstanding a nuclear explosion. Its built-in sealed electrical and oxygen systems can sustain 10 people for a week, which is enough to support the 'Demon Soldier' ​​unit's rescue efforts.

Without any cutting or explosion sounds, this purely mechanical, electrically controlled lock opened on its own, even without being connected to the internet.

This scene was so eerie, it was like a ghost story in broad daylight.

For the first time in his life, Saburo Arasaka found himself in a life-or-death situation.

His most loyal guards had arrived and surrounded the entire manor. Hundreds of soldiers could easily eliminate any invading enemy, but they couldn't erase the fact that Jiang Bing was only five steps away from his opponent.

The killing took place in the small safe house. It only took the blood of seven people to submerge Saburo Arasaka's wooden clogs and stain his white tabi socks red.

He finally stepped into the bloodshed.

"Which force sent you, military technology or the European Space Agency?"

Until his death, Saburo Arasaka never relinquished his dignity as a tyrant.

Jiang Bing remained silent.

The heavy iron gate behind them suddenly closed by itself, completely separating the two from the reinforcements outside.

The next moment, the 150-year-old man was knocked down and unconscious by Jiang Bing, who had no sense of martial ethics.

Jiang Bing had no time to exchange pleasantries with this dying man; he needed to focus his attention on the cyberspace.

At this moment when everything is coming to an end, and as Otto Cunningham is about to enter 'God and Man', he must be present.

He doesn't trust the other person!

The space where the 'God and God' access point is located inside the Arasaka Tower is not large, only about twenty square meters.

Numerous cables were wrapped around the entire ceiling, forming a huge signal transmission matrix. A towering pillar stood in the center of the room, connecting the signal transmission device of the Arasaka Tower above and the data center located at the bottom of the Arasaka Tower below.

A metal suspension bridge leads to this mysterious device that shimmers with red light, and beneath the bridge is a pool filled with cooling solution for heat dissipation.

"God and"

Mann exclaimed.

"This is just a data connection node."

Valerie, who has the strongest network technology skills among the four, explained.

She stepped forward first, walking onto the metal suspension bridge leading to 'God and'.

This metal node looks exactly like a large server, with a glass screen that serves as a display panel flashing a blood-red light, and massive amounts of code flowing continuously within it.

The four gazed at this legendary figure from Night City, their expressions dark and uncertain.

"What should we do next?"

Vincent clenched his fist, put away the mantis knife on his forearm, and asked.

“Find the access port, connect it to the ‘device’ we brought, and physically connect Ultraman and ‘God’ so that she can bypass Arasaka’s data fortress directly.”

Mann put down the backpack he had been carrying on his back, took out a capsule-shaped device, and placed it next to the node of God and the Node. The magnetic self-adhesion device at the bottom automatically unfolded and firmly fixed the device.

With a complex expression, Valerie pulled a thick connecting line from the center of this 'God and' node.

Mann twisted the top of the capsule, and countless nano-elements surged up, revealing the interface at the top.

As Valerie inserted the connecting wire into the interface, the nanoelement in the device rapidly activated, quickly transforming into the interface type corresponding to the connecting wire, thus connecting the two.

"Is that all?"

Old Logan looked completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask.

"It still needs to go through a final authorization check."

Mann placed his palm on the side of the capsule, and countless nano-elements leaped up his arm, probing into his body. After detecting a gene sequence that met his permissions, he officially activated the device called 'Pod'.

The capsule suddenly expanded, growing into a sphere, where countless data streams began to converge.

The power supply to the entire Arasaka Building began to destabilize, and the network experienced violent fluctuations.

While others didn't perceive it clearly, Valerie, being a hacker, clearly saw the massive disturbance occurring on the Arasaka Tower local area network, with a huge amount of data flowing towards it from the outside.
