Chapter 1585  Counterattack Against Diamondz -Final

"The ...The Research department!" Edmond's secretary was trembling as she said that while setting her holographic screen to the public so that everyone within the room could see it.

"The Crystal Dragon Mechanoid is moving??" Diaz came forward to have a better look at the screen as she could not believe with her own eyes but the others knew that this was something inevitable.

"Breaking radio contact with Jin right now," Lynn said as she quickly ordered the System to have a direct line to Team Armoury's chat channel.

"Lynn, you okay?" That was the first few words coming out of his mouth. While she was appreciative of the care and concern, she quickly got to the point.

"There is a prototype mechanoid in the research department. We believe the CEO Edmond took his own life to activate it. The secretary did explain to us that he had been rather selfish and secretive with several systems within the Diamond Corps, so this might be one of the failsafe to activate that prototype."

"So, if you are calling us then..." Before Jin could react appropriately to the message. The rumbling turned into a significant tremble as if the entire city was experiencing a bout of earthquake. It was then they heard a loud and terrifying screech coming from outside. As the sun was clear, the prototype Mechanoid was reflective of the Sun's rays, making it very visible while it attempted to escape outside of the city barrier the moment it took flight.

Nevertheless, after the incident with the Tri-Rex, Helicopters and fighter planes were already on standby in case of any aerial abominations. This monster had enabled the alert to be sent out, causing them to sortie. Though even without the alert, the pilots who were already in their seats had started their engines when they heard that echoing screech even from the edges of Daimon City.

The attack Helicopters who were hovering to maintain aerial superiority since they were used to search the escaping Tri-Rexes previously were the first to engage the Crystal Dragon mechanoid. High velocity bullets and missiles were used unsparingly against the translucent looking dragon since the target was extremely obvious when it glittered under the sunlight. But as much as the crystals on it glittered to reflect the sun's energy, the bullets suffered a similar fate.

The missiles apparently did nothing to the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid at all but that was more than enough buffer for the heavy hitters to enter the scene. The fighter planes zoomed in and with much better equipped rockets including one that induced a miniature EMP, they believed the monster Mechanoid could be put down.

They were so wrong.

None of those projectiles worked, even the EMP missile which was designed to bring mechanical targets down without fail. The Crystal Dragon Mechanoid on the other hand merely flew right towards the city's barrier and tore it apart with its fangs. But instead of opening a hole like what the Rocket Coffin did previously, the entire city barrier shattered, causing the entire city to be defenceless.

There was nothing the City Barrier support team could do as they found out that the moment the Crystal Dragon tore open a hole, the city's barrier generator overloaded and got destroyed, leaving the city vulnerable to attacks.

"So, instead of fighting us right here right now, it decided to flee?" Jin felt that this was a significant foreboding of future events and considering how he had always been sucked into situations like this, there is no denying that this would definitely be part of a request by the AI Administration. All he could hope was that he would be able to be out of the Synthesis World by then and the administration asking him would be for a favour rather than the other way around.

That way, he would have an advantage of certain terms and conditions in the future. The System undoubtedly read his thoughts and could not be ever more proud that Jin was a businessman through and through. Hence, it started to formulate its own plans and added the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid as part of its future trend analysis so that it could prepare for the best and worst in the coming times.

For now, it seems like with the death of the Edmond Diamondz, the CEO of Diamond Corps, the fight against Old Fammet remained inconclusive. But at the very least, the news would spread like wildfire and the battle would undoubtedly end within the next few days...or that was what Jin had thought.

When he gave the news to Archduke Dyke that Edmond Diamondz was killed in action, the Archdyke immediately announced through the System chat the following: "I shall name thy Lord of the Mountain."

Jin was taken aback by the sudden proclamations and asked whether if he was too hasty.

"No, as much as you have risked your life to get this done and over with, I too had my duty to assist you as it is for my own benefit too. The Imperial Family had been embroiled in too much corruption and while we usually close an eye for it, this had gone too far. With a few dukes under my wing, we will accuse the Imperial Family for -"

"Are you sure you want to go that route?" Jin interrupted. "If you are doing that, all the Festival shit that we had planned would be null. The Empire will go into civil war." He knows that this was what the Synthesis AI Administration wanted. 'Interesting events to happen to break away from the current status quo.'

This gave Archduke a bit of pause as if he was not entirely decided to go into a civil war as he too knew the consequences of having such a development. The other neighbouring countries may take much interest in this civil war as well since the territories of the Empire were immensely huge and that would no doubt be some power struggle in that aspect.

However, all Jin wanted was to return to his store and not be bothered by all of this. If the Archduke were to give him the Lord title but created a spark of this, it would be most undesirable. Yet, this was also the surest and fastest way to rake points for himself. If its left to the System, the System would have decided this would be the optimal way to move forward and once Jin had accumulated enough points, he could leave this current Virtual Simulation.

After all, it was just a Virtual Simulation.
