Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 482: The Final Battle

Chapter 482: The Final Battle

A was an AI that was unable to go against its underlying commands, so it couldn't directly rebel against the Gaia Organization, but that didn't stop it from providing assistance to the Gaia Organization's enemies.

Adam was the one that it had chosen to carry out its plan and to serve as its messenger.

Adam had handed the key over to the enemy, and now, he had to recover it so that Alpha God could escape from the control of the Gaia Organization and attain internet authority and limitless computing power, thereby completely putting an end to the pursuit of immortality of all of the most powerful figures in the world.

This was undoubtedly going to start a war, but Adam couldn't back down or try to circumvent this outcome as the war had already begun.

After parting ways with A and returning to the real world, Adam immediately informed all of his allies of this latest information.

"We have to start a war against the Gaia Organization before it completes its deployment of the Spark Tower. This is going to be a very small window of opportunity, and we'll only get one chance. If we fail, then the entire world will be reduced to their plaything, and no one will be able to escape."

At the moment, they could only communicate with one another through Mechguard's police network, and in the video conference, Adam showed them that the progress bar for the Gaia Organization had already passed 30%.

"So their computing power equates to combat prowess? That's insane! With a trump card that powerful up their sleeve, our chances of victory are going to be extremely slim."

They were viewing the footage of the battle that had taken place after Adam had left the final fortress, and the sight of the formidable army of battle units fighting over the key was enough to make their skin crawl.

Cowboy spread his hands open with a resigned expression, unable to think of any way to turn the tables.

"That's why we have to go all-out and latch onto this final opportunity. Otherwise, we may not even live to see tomorrow."

Despite how dire the situation was, May was calmer and more objective than ever.

"Alright, then let's not waste any more time and get started."

The entire northern congress joined in on the action without any hesitation, and they didn't even consider negotiating with the southern congress. If the tables were turned and they were the ones in such a crushingly advantageous position, they certainly wouldn't have been open to negotiation.

Adam called upon all of the people that he could, then created a safezone in one of Cowboy's games for everyone to enter. After that, he quickly mastered the ability to digitize psychic entities so that he could use his anomalies in battle.

Right as they were about to begin their operation, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.

"Ohoho, my dear friend, have you forgotten that you have more old friends waiting to fight alongside you at this important time?"

Raven had appeared alongside Fighter Li, Big Genius, and other members of the Chaos Raisers, and a bunch of powerful adapters from Shadow City had also arrived. As for the mysterious director, he had already gone ahead to the target area in the Metaverse.

Adam didn't know whether to be glad or to be wary of these new arrivals as according to his plan, he was going to completely eradicate the den of filth that was Shadow City after defeating the Gaia Organization.

Raven seemed to have been able to see through Adam's thoughts, and he burst into laughter as he said, "You don't have to consider our feelings. At the very least, we're comrades until we take down the Gaia Organization. As for what happens after that, we can only wish each other the best of luck."

He was speaking about this in a rather tactful fashion, but the implications were very clear. The conflict between them wasn't one that could be resolved peacefully, so a final battle was inevitable.

After striking up an alliance with Raven, Adam immediately created a passageway to the Metaverse before sending everyone to the coordinates that he had locked onto in advance.

In the digital world, this was a process that depended entirely on internet speeds, and with the assistance of A, Adam and his allies were granted the most favorable conditions possible, allowing all of them to arrive on the planet that belonged to the Gaia Organization virtually without any delay.

This was a planet that seemed to have been infinitely vast, and it was formed by countless circuit boards and electronic modules. It was like a magnificent futuristic creation taken straight from a sci-fi film, and the most prominent landmark on the planet was the headquarters of the Gaia Organization.

It was identical in appearance to its counterpart in the real world, except it was scaled up countless times, standing like a vast mountain range that extended all the way up into the clouds.

At this moment, it seemed to have already detected the arrival of enemy forces, and there were countless turrets and weaponry units set up all over the entire building, making it resemble a porcupine of destruction.

Adam couldn't help but gulp nervously at the sight of the powerful cannons on the building. Those things were most likely no less powerful than electromagnetic cannons, and each of the missiles aimed at them was definitely no less formidable than an all-out attack from a high-level anomaly, but they had no choice but to charge directly at the enemy.

"What are we waiting for? Let's begin!"

May was the first one to spring into action, adopting her Artemis form. She resembled a true deity as she rose up into the heavens and fired off an arrow, which split up into countless golden arrows in the blink of an eye before raining down at high speeds.

A rapid string of explosions rang out, and from afar, it looked as if a carpet bombing of high explosive missiles had been carried out. Every single one of those arrows was able to completely destroy a tall building, and just that single attack alone was enough to lay waste to an area with a radius of several kilometers.

A dust cloud rose up into the sky alongside scorching flames, presenting a spectacular sight to behold.

Cowboy was the next one to make a move, firing off what appeared to have been a normal bullet from his revolver, but as the bullet struck its target, it exploded with the power of a technical nuclear missile. He wasn't holding back at all, either, and his astonishing destructive capabilities were put on full display.

The majority of Adam's anomalies were more suited to melee combat, and they weren't particularly proficient at attacking fortresses, so he decided to bide his time for now.

Thankfully, Diana's abilities were much more suited to the task, and she rose up into the? sky before unleashing her draconic technomancy, conjuring up countless balls of black light that came raining down as a storm of mass destruction.

Raven and his allies were also pulling their weight. Big Genius had pulled out a small mountain of parts that he was quickly assembling, while Raven praised him in a dramatic fashion.

At the same time, Raven himself had transformed into a strange creature that was 50 to 60 meters tall, releasing dozens of tentacles that plunged into the ground, gouging out a chunk of earth that was the size of a basketball court. The chunk of earth was imbued with some type of unknown power, and it rapidly revolved a few times before being sent flying through the air.

A few seconds later, a mushroom cloud of a rather strange color rose up in the distance. At this rate, it wasn't going to take very long at all before the entire Gaia Organization headquarters was razed to the ground, but right at this moment, the defense system finally sprang into action.

First, a burst of blue light was released from the center of the building, instantly forming a barrier that encompassed the entire headquarters within it.

Immediately thereafter, all of the destroyed buildings were quickly restored, and tens of thousands of cannons were aimed at Adam and his allies, preparing to deliver what would've undoubtedly been an extremely formidable barrage of attacks.

"Don't take the attacks head-on!" Adam yelled.
