Chapter 1118 Battle Against Time Author's Note: Unedited Chapter ---------- The person reporting voiced out with an apologetic tone. "They are trying to get as many people as possible away! This can ruin our plans of causing a major catastrophe!" "Activate the nanites now!" One of the figures commanded. -"It will take us a few minutes to do so manually since we are no longer using the timer," The figure disclosed. "Speed things up and get it done as soon as possible," One of the dark figures commanded yet again. -"Yes leader, we will do our best," The communication was cut off at this point. "How in the world did they figure out our ploy?" One of the dark figures voiced with a tone of bafflement. -"Do we have a mole?" -"They couldn't have found a way to detect the other dimensional frequency... there is something at play here that we haven't figured out yet," The figures in this dimly lit environment voiced out their suspicions on the matter. They were so sure of their new technology abilities to shift dimensional frequency, making things existent and non existent at the same time which is why no technology on earth could detect them. "Tell Sirian to get to the bottom of things... we need to know how the MBO figured this out and if they have any counter measures in place," The figure who was known as the leader voiced out once more. Zzhiinn~ [Incoming from Sirian] The loud voice of an AI rang out within the dimly lit room. "Connect," [Connecting...] -"Leaders... the MBO are onto us," "Have you activated the nanites yet?" -"We haven't gotten a chance to... they are onto our team right now and we are trying to evade them in the crowd," "Bunch of idiots! Detonate the nanites before the MBO finds a way to deactivate them," -"Leader we need to settle in a place close to the planting site before we can manually detonate them... with the MBO on our tail, we don't have a breathing space," "I shall send reinforcements to deter them... come up with a plan and get this to work immediately," ------------------------ 'I managed to create half already but this isn't enough... without a proper body it won't be able to move from its spot,' Gustav thought. The night projection had half a complete body at this point but Gustav was still finding it difficult ro fully create it. He could tell that over an hour had gone by already. The timer placed on the nanites when he activated Night Eye was set to explode, two and the half hours after the concert had begun. Initially, it was meant to be an eight hours concert and the nanites was set to explode when the event was at its peak. With the Genxodus figuring out about the MBO having knowledge about thier plan, they needed to speed up the process now. Gustav knew there was no guarantee the nanites wouldn't explode before the set time since the Genxodus might become aware. This was why he actively searched for suspicious looking fellows before he activated Night Eye. Delaying them was possible through this. ("The MBO officers are currently in a battle with a bunch of suspicious people they suspect to be Genxodus members,") The system reported. 'My haunch was right... they sent a group to manually detonate it. Looks like they really don't care for even their own subordinates...' The team that had been sent to detonate the nanites manually would definitely perish here as well if they went through with it. Yet they still showed up to display their unfettered loyalty to the organisation. 'We're they brainwashed?' Gustav couldn't understand how they'd just throw their lives away for this. Gustav retained his focus on trying to complete the night projection while the MBO engaged the Genxodus members they had come into contact with. Since Gustav was now assured of their presence, he tried to speed things up because there was no saying what could happen now. -- -"Breaking News! For reasons unknown MBO officers have been clearing fans within the premises of the conventional centre!" -"We bring you live news from the location of the event! The MBO officers taking fans away without permission..." News outlets began showing footages of flashing lights on the ground where the fans had cooped themselves up while the concert went on within the conventional centre. Social media and all sorts of media outlets were buzzing with this information a lot of people wonder what the cause could be. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! All of a sudden white streaks fell from the skies and landed in the premises of the conventional centre. -"An unknown group in white battle mech have just arrived at the venue," While Breaking the news, another crazy scenario began playing out. "Get into the conventional centre and assist the other team," The whitish mech in the middle of the five that had just arrived, voiced out with a commanding tone. The MBO officers who were in the vicinity took notice of their arrival and actively approached them. Three of the Mechs looked up to face the conventional center... Thooommm~ They blasted off into the air and arrived before the floating platform. However, before they could move any further... Bang! Bang! Bang! They slammed into an invisible barrier that sent them flying. -"There's a protective barrier," One of the reported through the comms. "Destroy it!" The captain ordered. "Who are you lots and state your business here!" The last two who stayed on the ground found themselves surrounded by MBO officers in the next instant. "Genxodus will have your heads," The captain stated in response. "They are Genxodus members! Attack!" One of the MBO officers yelled out. Swwwooosshh! Swwoosshh~ The MBO officers charged forward to attack but before any of them could make a hit a mist suddenly phased out of both mechs. Zzhhissshhhhzzzhh~ The MBO officers were not bothered by such menial action since mist was nothing to them. "Energy thrust!" One of the MBO officers attack arrived first and his forearm turned into a blade of light that stabbed forward. Hid face shown a display of confusion upon stabbing at the first Mech. "Huh? What's going on?" He wondered out loud as his fingers barely made an inch graze on? the mech. What he got in response was a fist from the mech which tore through his belly. "Grruhh!" The officer vomited out blood as his entire body was lifted off the ground while the fist of this mech was still lodged deep inside of intestines. "Aaahhhhh!" "Kyaaahhh!" "Attack in full force!" The MBO officers got enraged after witnessing their comrade get fist impaled. They rained a barrage of attack upon the mechs. Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom! However, upon landing their first hit, they all came to a realisation. "My strength is weakened," --------- ("Genxodus reinforcements have been sent,") 'Hmm? That seems reckless,' 'I can see they are currently engaging the officers... these ones were sent here to die as well so long as the mission is completed,' Gustav now understood why they'd go with such a reckless plan. They sent reinforcements they could afford to lose. If these reinforcements were able to engage the MBO officers properly and reduce the pressure for the other Genxodus members within the conventional centre. If the team sent here initially had the pressure reduced when the MBO officers within the conventional centre were busy fending off the mechs, they'd be able to manually detonate the nanites. 'They sent even more matrys' I can't waste anymore time,' Gustav focused on the night projection which was now only missing a right leg and part of its head. It had almost been completed since it had a face, two arms and one leg at the moment. It had taken Gustav nearly two hours of intense focus to achieve this. He could tell, he would take another hour if he were to try and complete it. Time wasn't on his side so he decided, he was gonna do make use of the incomplete Night projection this way. 'Link consciousness...' The instant Gustav said this internally his left eye which had a bright blue glow instantly dimmed. Like a machine whose power had been cut off, Gustav body which had been in a squatting position all this time, fell to the ground. Flicker~ Flicker~ Gustav regained normal vision only to find himself in a different place. "It worked..." He muttered as he raised his arms which were glowing with a blue color. His body was completely see through at the moment. "Oh shii..." Gustav voiced out as this body his consciousness linked to began slanting towards the left. Ghiiii~ Upon falling to the floor due to the lack of right leg, Gustav's shoulder and head phased through the ground. "Damn it..." With his head phasing through ghe floor of the conventional centre, he could see the city grounds beneath. Other parts of this projection body was still stuck up which caused him to be hooked in place. "I need to focus to maintain the dimensional frequency of the projection," Gustav was instantly able to tell the cause of his predicament.
