I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 574 150: Entry (4,500 Words) (Part 2)

The military's general officers naturally possess extremely high-security levels.

However, these battlefield-born warriors understand one thing—even the best and most loyal guards cannot protect them every moment.

The only person worth trusting and relying on is oneself.

So, while equipped with guards, all senior military leaders are outfitted with a set of personal armor to handle imminent disasters.

But...perhaps because they haven't been used for too long, rust appeared at the screw connectors of the mech components.

"It's been...more than ten years since there was a war."

The general looked at the rust spots with some emotion and sighed, "The military has not seen blood for too long. Some soldiers' hands haven't even stained with human lives."

"That's fine...let the impending war come."

"It's time to wake those young ones who have enjoyed a decade in comfort."

As he finished speaking, his body was also completely enveloped by black threads.

As for the other guests, they were not spared either, all swallowed by the black threads.

In the sky, Yun You and her companions probably encountered the calamity the latest.

Yun You was almost about to fly to the edge of the black thread sphere, but her speed was ultimately insufficient.

The rushing lines wrapped her ankle, then climbed up her thigh and waist.

At the moment of being entangled, Yun You understood these things were impossible to break free from.

She couldn't muster any strength, and even if she could, most likely she couldn't snap this shackle.

"It's...Cyberspace!"

As her mouth was about to be fully covered by the black threads, Tian En struggled and shouted these words.

"That's right, so, hold tight..."

Yun You nodded heavily, desperately grabbing Tian En and Mokaka's hands.

Yet the speed of the black threads covering was indeed too fast; in just a few seconds, half of their bodies were already enveloped.

Yun You knew she couldn't escape.

But she had to do something...

So at last, she used her last ounce of strength, through the Information Reconnaissance Chip by her ear, sending a string of Ethernet information to four people simultaneously.

Shiqi, Old Jin, Jiang Wuji, and Chen Zaikun.

Thanks to Yang Qian's final reminder, Yun You managed to escape ten kilometers away and found a loophole in the space seal at the edge of the black-line sphere, successfully sending out the message.

And almost simultaneously as the message went out, the sphere completely sealed shut, Yun You and her companions were swallowed by the black threads, their consciousness gradually sinking.

"What will happen next?"

In the darkness, Yun You silently pondered...

Death Domain monsters? Apprentice Death Gods? Or...a more powerful existence akin to Karma Remnant Buddha?

Yun You couldn't predict; Cyberspace is too rarely encountered, not even the Nest City Council think tanks have much intelligence.

But it doesn't matter; soldiers will block enemy attacks; water will cover land. If there's no road ahead, then create one!

The word "give up" will never appear in her dictionary.

Cyberspace fully formed.

Meanwhile, within the previously calm Nest City, an invisible tide slowly began to rise.

Forces from all sides were stirring, idealists and ambitious people stepping out from the shadows, officially taking to their stage.

Perhaps they would leap over the dragon gate, completely rewriting their fallen fate.

Perhaps they would fall into the abyss, meeting an irreversible judgment.

But regardless of the outcome, they'd never regret today's choice.

Win everything, or end up with nothing.

They willingly gambled everything to win the future they wanted.

...

In a lavish mansion villa in Upper District of Nest City No. 3.

Galland Collection and his cousin Enfield Collection suited up in simple black combat clothing, taking the high-level prosthetic body weapons provided by their family.

And Patriarch Springfield was cautiously inspecting their equipment, his eyes full of worry, afraid they might miss a key piece of gear.

"No need to worry like this, brother."

Watching the busy Springfield, Galland smiled broadly, feigning relaxation: "In this battle, besides our few families, there's also that 'esteemed one' overseeing."

"We have no chance of losing; even if Lord Elrond were to intervene, it would absolutely not change our inevitable victory."

"..."

"Hopefully so."

Springfield sighed lightly, patting Galland and Enfield's shoulders.

"You must remember, as long as you've tried your best, I won't demand you achieve any specific goals or make you swear any meaningless oath of a military order."

"You're the family's last high-level combat strength; your survival determines whether the Collection can continue to exist. So, if you encounter something insurmountable, running or surrendering isn't shameful; survival is most important."

"Got it?"

Galland and Enfield exchanged glances, a slight warmth growing in their hearts.

The two nodded simultaneously, although they agreed verbally, their thoughts were already occupied with the notion of loyalty to their family.

If they could allow their family to rise again, then even sacrificing their lives, they would proceed without hesitation.

This time's operation, they were determined to succeed!

...

In Nest City Central City, H District, Nest City Council Headquarters Building.

Within a cramped, closed office, Tang Jin, who had just been harshly reprimanded by the leadership, also donned a lightweight council combat uniform. Though his mind was a chaotic mess, he had no choice but to accept this field assignment.
