Chapter 84: Duel of Two Commanders
"Do you think a small knife and the tattoos on your skin can stop the peak of machine evolution, Liling?"Inquisitor Elias's voice vibrated through his obsidian armor's modulator, creating a mechanical echoing effect that oppressed the atmosphere of Long Baram. Its low frequency made anyone's eardrums feel like they were being pierced by silver needles."This isn't just a tattoo, Elias! This is the blood, sweat, and curse of the land you're treading with your iron feet!" Liling retorted.Her voice was a low shriek, laden with pure rage overflowing from her chest cavity."Target analysis: Emotional and irrational. Threat level: Minimal," Elias hissed flatly."Don't talk so much, Devil! Feel this!" Liling roared.CRASH!Liling didn't wait another second. She drew her tactical dagger and, in a single lightning-fast motion powered by a flow of silver energy from ancient roots, she unsheathed a legendary weapon from her back: the Silver Star Mandau. The blade of the traditional weapon had
Chapter 83: The Last Inquisitor
"That’s not a bomber satellite, Liling! For God’s sake, that thing fell from geosynchronous orbit!" Jaka roared, his gray eyes flickering wildly, radiating a panic he had never shown before. "Something... something developed in the forbidden laboratories of Thorne Industries has just been unleashed!"Liling, whose temples had turned completely silver, stared upward. "What do you see, Jaka? Tell me!""A single unit," Jaka whispered, his mechanical body trembling so violently that his joints creaked. "The KBB calls it... The Last Inquisitor. It’s not human, Liling. It is the pure, emotionless, remorseless remnant of Elias Thorne’s consciousness, packed into a prototype cybernetic chassis of mass destruction. And he... he is coming straight for the village!"WHOOOOSH—BOOM!!!Before Liling could respond, a black streak tore through the newly calmed Borneo night sky. A pitch-black, monolith-shaped drop-pod plummeted at meteor speed, slamming into the earth right in front of the silver ligh
Chapter 82: Exodus from Aegis
"You hear that vibration, right? This isn't a system malfunction. The Earth... the Earth is calling us home!"The emergency intercom in the Sector 7 worker barracks of Aegis Satellite City shrieked hoarsely. Inside the cramped, metal-capsule rooms, dozens of dark-skinned cybernetic laborers stared at one another, holding their breath. Outside their thick acrylic windows, the transmission towers belonging to The Sovereignty which usually emitted the soft blue glow of Joy-Link were now flickering chaotically, distorted by alien waves rippling from the direction of the Kalimantan hinterlands."Quiet, Gede! If the supervisors hear you, they’ll rip out the remaining nerves in your brain without anesthesia!" whispered an elderly worker, his trembling hands trying to cover the cybernetic port on his temple, which had suddenly grown searing hot."No, Old Man! Our emotion-suppression systems are failing! That song from Baram... it shattered their network encryption!" Gede, a young laborer with
Chapter 81: The Silver-Beating Heart
"Don't you dare die on me, Jaka! I swear I will drag you out of this hellhole alive!"Liling screamed hysterically, slashing her dagger through the air. Her breath came in ragged gasps, triggering a burning pain in her lungs from the residual plasma vapor settling inside the Schwaner Mountains cave.Before her, three remaining KBB infantrymen their armor completely paralyzed by the earlier override wave of the traditional song lunged forward manually. Without mechanical power, they discarded their useless plasma rifles and drew thirty-centimeter obsidian tactical knives. Their footsteps were heavy, crunching against the cave floor, driven by the sheer desperation to kill before they themselves died of oxygen deprivation.CLANG!Liling’s blade collided with the enemy’s black steel, creating a single spark in the darkness. She kicked the first soldier in the chest, utilizing the thin remnants of emerald gravity manipulation to make her body as light as kapok, then spun in mid-air to eva
Chapter 80: The Melody of Rebellion
"I can't, Liling! I'm a soldier, not a shaman! And this storm outside... this is impossible!"Jaka’s voice shrieked, competing with the roar of the electromagnetic storm that seemed to be tearing the atmosphere of Long Baram apart. Mechanical nerves along Jaka’s neck sparked with tiny neon-blue flashes. His face was ghastly, pale as a corpse, wracked with excruciating pain as the KBB (United Borneo Corporation) neural port at the back of his head was forced to act as a conductor for the wild currents leaping from the ancient Ulin roots.The root was not merely wood. It was a giant organic-digital fiber that had been embedded in the heart of Kalimantan for thousands of years, and now, it was pumping raw energy directly into Jaka’s brain. Every inch of wiring inside Jaka’s body felt like it was boiling."We have no choice, Jaka! Do it, for Borneo!" Liling replied, shouting at the top of her lungs while continuing to fire bursts into the cave corridor.RATATATATAT!The muzzle of Liling’s
Chapter 79
"Don't let go, Liling! If you let go now, your consciousness will be lost in their network forever!"Jaka's voice sounded faint, muffled by the electromagnetic roar crackling against the cave walls. The mechanical nerves in his cybernetic arm sparked, struggling to withstand the surge of current hitting them both.Liling did not answer. Her tongue was paralyzed. Her palms felt as if they had melted and fused with the wet surface of the cave wall, where ancient roots and the organic fiber optics of the NBR (New Borneo Corporation) were intertwined like snakes.At that very second, on the other side of Long Baram, Dr. Hanif’s elderly body had just collapsed, leaning against the silver sprout of a Raen tree. The touch of Hanif’s human skin against the silver tree released a massive wave of pure consciousness, instantly traveling through the network of ancient underground roots and striking directly at the point where Liling’s palms were pressed.ZAP!An excruciatingly intense pain struck
