What could only be described as a modern military campaign formed within the plasma barrier, V2's flagship continued to shoot missiles, most of them would be deflected towards the skies while the rest impacted the facility's antennas that were raining hell on them in the form of missiles and beams.
*RUMBLE!*
'I only have enough magic for a 1st Tier Spell, it seems I'm going to have to go back to the good old times.'
After placing a magic array in both Sarah and Rachel, combined with all the spells he had used recently, 2nd Tier and 3rd Tier, this is no doubt the day Morpheus has consumed the most out of his magic core, and even as it actively regenerated he'd have to rely on his Seraphin features, light magic and... several other interesting gimmicks.
Null had been falling at a regular pace as she analysed the entire facility with her vision, trying to figure out their objective.
'We will have to do with what we have, there are several tower-like buildings located at your 75º, clear the path for two units to investigate and see if a terminal can be found, if we're lucky, <Killing Spree> hasn't yet been deployed, highly unlikely... but there's is nothing to do, if necessary I'll engage in cybernetic warfare and the units will be under your lead, V2|N'
'Understood.'
She then moved her gaze to the side as her body evaded a missile, but even then, the missile still exploded upon approaching enough to her body.
*BOOOOMMM!!*
"UGH!!"
A forcefield protected her, but the force of the explosion was enough to send her out of the formation.
*FIIUUSSH!!*
She saw how the six-winged shadow fell towards the ground faster than all of them together, falling right in between some ground units!
Morpheus fell like a sonic bullet, noticing that the ground wasn't made out of the soil, but rather, metal.
'Better!'
*BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!*
The God crashed against the ground like a meteor, falling between at least twenty of the enemy corps that had expected nothing but a dull impact.
Nothing farther from the truth, the moment Morpheus crashed against the ground his hands rocketed in a kind of white lightning as he palmed the metallic floor.
*RUMBLE!!*
<Transmutation!>
A dull yet mightful noise resounded, equal to the noise of two colossal ships clashing against one another as that white lightning spread through the entire metal ground of the surroundings, but this wasn't a flash of lightning charged with electricity.
This white lightning gave Morpheus control over a big margin of this floor!
*RUMBLE!!!*
As if the iron ground had turned into a sea, waves started to spread through the entire front of the gigantic building, tumbling all of the forces as they lost their balance, but then, as if alive snakes, the 'metallic' ground contorted and bent in weird shapes, restraining and crushing everything that moved!
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!-------
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!-------
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!-------
Many of the units exploded right at that instant, but as fearless as a machine, they kept coming out and beams permeated through the skies, flashing against the Magic God without any mercy.
'Just this much huh? as expected, I have become too weak...' Raising up, he lifted his hand, pointing his index finger upwards as the metallic ground in a radius of twenty metres started to rise as if he was controlling water, even going as far as to 'melt' the destroyed units and join them to the massive ropes of mutated iron.
While Morpheus disdained his current capacity... Null struggled to not be surprised in front of what she was seeing despite not being human herself.
'Ridiculous... it is not time to delay.'
"Morpheus, our first objective is to reach any of those antennas... we need to find a terminal for me to hack and get the building's scheme, that way I can know where the datacentre and the reactor is. After that, we can sneak in through the main door." Indeed, right now is not the time to be surprised, the more they take, the more time they're giving <Blitzkrieg> to come here.
*BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!----------
Several of the ship's missiles impacted the tower, but they didn't do anything... clearly, that's not some weak-ass metal.
'It's an alloy of TunsgtenX, they're truly investing everything they got into protecting these facilities, we don't have the firepower to destroy this alloy... but he should be able to... that metal that he's using, it's also TungstenX. an alloy of one of the strongest metals, Tungsten, compressed ten times through the void, it's not something a mere missile can even dent'
Yet, this man... it's taking it and moving it as if it's water!
"Is that so? those antennas?" Morpheus kept moving his finger back and fro, moving the torrents of mutated iron across the land, swallowing the flying missiles, swallowing the shooting units and joining them to his ever-increasing torrents of mutated TungstenX.
He pointed at one of the antennas that were being bombarded by V2's chip and Null nodded as she continued firing at the incoming units, they seemed to be popping out from the floor, the number surely couldn't be counted, but they're weak units...
"I'll send one of my units to enter the terminal if there is one, but we don't have the weaponry to forcefully tear a hole in that material, please... I'll cover you."
Null's entire unit was covered behind shields, firing at the ceaseless units from the facility's defence protocols.
"..." Morpheus blasted an incoming missile with one of his wings and flew straight to one of the towers while the swarms of tungsten followed behind, flashing in white lightning.
He raised up his arm when he reached a moderate distance from the tower, the 'liquid' started to take shape into what could only resemble a gigantic blade, and then... he slashed down.
*SLASH!!*
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!---------
As if in front of a fantasizing movie, the entire tower got bisected into too... the part above the cut started to slowly slide down as explosions rocketed through the entire internal building.
Null's arms slumped at that moment.
"There, the hole is done... do what you must." The God smirked, his wings did all the job for him, sadly, he didn't have the capacity to control the entire volume of this tower.
"I told you to make a hole... NOT TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE THING!" Null shouted with exasperation as something resembling a grenade fell beside her, if it hadn't been enough annoyance before.
"Details... hurry up and get to this 'terminal'..."
"There might not be any terminal anymore!"

England, Crawley via Brighton.
[ATTENTION: Target Locked On]
...
Flying through the skies at a moderate speed, was what could only be described as a 'mothership'.
A gigantic black ship with at least a hundred metres in length, but twenty metres in height flew while using its anti-gravity engines... wantonly covering the skies without even bothering to use camouflage, it didn't need to.
Wherever this gargantuan ship appears, blood will flow and a group of individuals will die, it would never be deployed to deal with a single individual.
Its mere presence was so imposing and terrorizing, well-known and feared, that no one would dare go against it in this world, no revolutionary group, no independent hacker, no adversary government.
Only a selected group in which the terrorist group, V2, is included.
<Blitzkrieg: Wisdom King>
A compartment within the ship opened slowly, and from there a figure could be seen walking, not mechanically... the way this 'person' walked couldn't be any more human.
But its features depicted it as a robotic piece of engineering.
*RUMBLE!!!*
*BOOOM!!!---*
The figure's two red 'eyes' shone as two bursts of energy exploded from its back, and as if desacceleration and friction didn't exist in this world, the machine flew through the skies at ridiculous speeds, easily destroying the hypersonic barrier.
The main objective of today's hunt... <Singularity> and <Vector2>
**

After a small rant, Null managed to infiltrate one of her corps inside a tower where indeed, there was a terminal.
'The permission granted to this terminal's profile is not high enough to open the main door unhindered, but there are indeed some schemas of the facility, although they seem to be deprecated, they're from three years ago.'
'That should be enough, it can't have changed that much in three years.'
Null was about to tell Morpheus to open the main door with that miraculous power of his, but there was no need.
The door was 'flying' around him after having become a part of his mutated tungsten.
...
'The flagship is running out of ammo and resources, the plasma forcefield still hasn't been dissolved and connection to the metropolitan connection is unavailable, I'll proceed to use protocol: sacrifice'.
'Understoo-!'
*RUMBLE!!!*
Just as V2's ship was about to crash itself against the enemy corps that never stopped spawning, the barrier opened by itself?!
"Ohh...?" Morpheus saw the whole incident with lifted eyebrows, could it be Null did it?
*WOOSSHH!!!*
Without even being able to utter a single word, the moment the barrier dissolved, a gargantuan purple beam directly clashed against V2's flagship!
*BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM----------------*
Morpheus and Null saw how the ship got directly obliterated as if it had been paper meeting wildfire, nothing was left behind.
*FIIUSSSH!!*
*BAAANGG!!*
Just as quickly, a phantom snook inside the barrier, landing heavily onto the TungstenX remoulded ground producing a metallic noise upon arrival.
For a few moments, no movements were undertaken as even the enemy's corps started to retreat...
Morpheus' visage remained in this machine as he floated with his arms crossed, still with his shadow mantle active and with a gigantic transmutation mass floating together with him like a metallic river encircling his sacred self.
"..." Null's eyes furrowed deeply beneath the mask when she witnessed this machine's appearance, it had been sooner than she expected...
"It's the Wisdom King from Blitzkrieg... Morpheus, don't underestimate it!"
"Wisdom King? quite the flamboyant title..." Morpheus smirked amusingly, a machine dares to place the word 'wisdom' and 'king' in front of him, hilarious.
"Singularity... Vector2..." The 'Wisdom King' spoke at that moment, now totally raised up as it regarded the two individuals in front of it.
*CLACK!*
*CLACK!*
*CLACK!*
Seemingly giving priority to Morpheus' threat rather than Null's, three small drones were released from its body, flying towards Morpheus who only raised up his eyebrows as they encircled him.
*FIIUSSH!!*
His metallic ocean rotated at that moment but right as he was about to take down these three drones, he felt something and gaped.
!!!
Sarah's array triggered, as he expected she had been in danger.
...
"MORPHEUS! DON'T LET THOSE DRONES-"
[Target <Singularity>... locked-on, isolate... positive]
[Warfare Module: Point Blank, Fire...]
It was at that moment that the three drones deployed a three-way forcefield around Morpheus... encasing him inside it.
And a sudden shiny white star appeared within the darkening skies, getting progressively brighter.
Before Null couldn't even finish her words, a shower of brutal world-annihilating plasma covered the Magic God!
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM---------------------
Within the limits of the forcefield, a gigantic pole of light that shone the entire region, shot up to the skies, not destroying anything outside of that small barrier, but everything inside of it... had to get utterly annihilated.
Null gaped when she saw this, she didn't expect Wisdom King to use outer space measures right off the bat!
'H-How is he!?' With franticness she herself wasn't privy of, Null asked... no, yelled to her 'inner-conscience'.
Right in front of her what lay is utter obliteration, the wisdom king just stood there, seemingly appreciating his work of art.
'... I'm unable to detect life signs at the moment, please wait.' Unlike always, there was a brief pause before she received that communication through her circuits.
...
"Ufff... I hadn't felt pain in so long... that's quite an interesting measure you have there..."
!!!!
*WOOSSH!!*
The triangular forcefield dissolved, as the cloud of smoke within it resurfaced with a vengeance, yes... smoke is all there was.
A triangle-shaped hole dug as far as the eyes could see, but flying atop it was the Magic God, his body suffered several 2nd-degree burns beneath the dark mantle, but otherwise... he's okay.
The Wisdom King glared at the individual that should have been more than a little exterminated by now... perhaps dead is too much to ask.
[Warfare Module: Pointblank, report... the enemy <Singularity> hasn't been eliminated... updating log...]
[Measures ineffective... switching method.]
[Learning...]
...
*WOOSSSHH!!!*
*BOOMMM!!!*
A light phantom flashed through the void, arriving right beside the re-calculating machine in a heartbeat, the sonic boom came too late.
"My turn..."
The world in front of Null's bionic eyes seemed to come to a stop when Morpheus did nothing short of teleportation and arrived beside the robot.His palm moved swiftly, like the judgement of the Death God.*RUMBBLEE!!!!***BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*Sparks flew through the entire place, releasing a blinding light.Morpheus' palm that shone with white lightning, stopped right when it clashed against the robot's forcefield."I have seen your movements, <singularity>..." The Robot's two red 'eyes' shone brightly, moving slowly to regard the cluster of black mass in front of him.It had a lot of difficulties locking its senses over that black darkness mantle that seemed to be sucking light itself."You have seen me? SO WHAT?!"*BAANGG!!!*Still, with his palm clashing against the forc
While Null infiltrated the facility.Outside, what could only be described by the Earth's ancestors as a 'Alien Invasion' took place.Explosions raged through the skies as the battle became more and more intense.His shining eyes moved through the battlefield where he noticed, movements, formations, protocols taking place while he engaged an ever-increasing number of drones, ships and robots.Morpheus hand, coated with Morphenus, impacted against the 'newer' version of the wisdom king's form.*BOOOOOMMMMM!!*But rather than be protected with a layer of plasma, this time it was some kind of highly compressed heat whose purpose wasn't to defend, rather, it was erasing his Morphenus!"You're learning, huh!"*BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*Still... it didn't serve it to anything, Morpheus still impacted his fist ha
The battle of the aeons raged outside, but inside Null wasn't having it any easier.*WOOSH!!*She performed a roundhouse kick that technically detached the head from one of the robots from its torso, using the momentum to point her plasma gun at another one and shoot.Going to the main data centre she had to use her eighteen units to raid this massive facility, get the information that she wanted but things only became more difficult as time passed.Her corps assisted from behind, everything seemed to be going tell, until she saw 'her'.!!!*FIUSSH!!!*A phantom technically flashed through her peripheric vision and kicked forth!*BAANGG!!!*Their two luscious legs clashed and Null got blasted so hard that she impacted the iron wall and dented it!"UGH!!!" Null staggered, gritt
"What are you planning to do now?" After completely replacing her lost arm and leg with the Morpheus, the god retreated to regard his delightful creation, trying to evade the android's delicious body, it shouldn't be this alluring. 'Robots should have a more 'robotic' appearance' he thought as her current sexy and mature self is rather 'misleading'. "Have you touch me some more..." Null wasn't about to conceal her intentions, right now, when he touched her chest, she liked it... she liked the satisfaction that the action produced in his expression, rather than feeling aroused, she was beginning to desire to 'assist' his satisfaction. And the silver-haired beauty accentuated her objective by approaching, moving slightly mechanically as she tested these new enhancements... they're way stronger than the material she had before but less subtle, this doesn't look like skin at all, it's pitch black even if the texture is
"Have you done it?" When Null regained herself within his arms, Morpheus realised that she likely defeated this <Killing Spree> fellow.He had witnessed how difficult this 'inner-struggle' had been within her circuits, for one, one of her arms seemingly ejected on its own and lay on the cold metallic ground, she constantly twisted seemingly no longer able to keep the integrity of her own body."Y-Yes... It was difficult but I did it." Null's movements seemed fixed and for a few moments, aside from moving her head back and fro and dilating her pupils, she did nothing else."He corrupted my movement protocols, I need to recalibrate... please, wait." It took her several minutes to 're-calibrate' as she took her arm and attached it back to her body, as she did so, her cheeks got red and she evaded his gaze."What's wrong?" He asked with furrowed brows, thinking that perhaps there was some kind of '
"What do you mean by that? Fate? does it exist?" Her words left V2 with more questions than answers, she could theoretically understand his words, but she couldn't comprehend them.What lay beneath the surface? what sort of wisdom?"It might be difficult for you to understand, as it is for everyone that doesn't have a step within the realm of divinity, let's go... lead me to the reactor." He said lightly and the lady furrowed her delicate brows before raising up and pulling him with her, entangling their hands at all times as she awaited the continuation of his explanation."I'll take you to the reactor but don't deviate the subject... I want to know, what do you mean by fate?" To know the intrinsic meaning of the word, doesn't represent comprehending it, an android is unable to compute such an abstract concept.And Morpheus is aware of that, to teach such topics to an entity that can't visually perc
"What are you going to do? we need to create a massive explosion to have the reactor produce a chain reaction... also, I don't know what the enemy protocols will be, but it wouldn't be wise to stay here, since the reactor is compromised, they might decide to blow it together with us inside." The two walked hand in hand while Morpheus analyzed everything. "I don't have sufficient mana to try and produce a massive explosion, but we're lucky... I don't need mana in this instance." "By mana you mean... the source of energy that your 'magic core' produces? are you sure you want this information to belong to the enemy?" "The enemy doesn't have the means to exploit this information, not in this world..." "... you shouldn't underestimate the Wisdom King and Marianne further, whether that information is exploitable or not, it's not up to us to decide, they always have the means, even I could sta
United Kingdon, London, Westminster. Within a rather luxurious office, a blonde middle-aged man sat on his desk with a polite expression, placing his enhanced arms on the desk and adopting a graceful demeanour. In front of him, there were the holograms of his homologues, those were the leaders of this world and today there is an imperious meeting that must take place due to the recent incidents occurring in the United Kingdom, it can no longer be delayed. The first one to speak, however, wasn't any of them, it was the AI, a projection with the form of a fullenere. [UK Prime minister Ashwood.] [US President Amber] [France President Lafite] [Germany President Schneider] ... Only when the names of all the representatives were said, could the meeting start. "We
"You're back! how was your day~?" Rachel smiled warmly and opened the door for them, there was a delightful smell in the house, obviously, she had fun cooking."Granny!""Dear, you look happy..." Both grandmother and granddaughter hugged one another while Morpheus and Hana stood on the side, regarding the warm reunion. They knew that Rachel has seen the new restaurant and wanted to know what she thinks about it."I am... my day was wonderful, what about yours? how was your day." The one tasked to question that was Sarah, she smiled and awaited her grandmother's response."It was... amazing! There is so much I want to say... come and sit, Null and I prepared your dishes." She beaconed for the entire group to enter the kitchen and sit.Morpheus nodded and came in together with the girls, heading straight for the kitchen where Null was with an apron, cooking... said android turned around, a little surprised when he took her by the waist."Null..." He pressed her against his body, and t
The bells resonated across the campus, signifying the end of yet another day of studies, Hana walked peacefully, her friend had already departed on her own; leaving her to wander the halls of the campus by herself, moving to the front where a self-driving vehicle awaited with dark windshields.A majestic Bentley."Did your girl also say that she'd go with Bryce?" Hana entered the Bentley parked at the campus entrance, Sarah was inside having arrived earlier."She did... but Bryce said he's busy" The two of them gave each other a small kiss on the cheeks and Hana slumped on the passenger seat releasing a sigh."When are we going to tell them?" Sarah asked with crossed arms, it's obvious that bastard Bryce is playing around with their friends."I don't know... do we have the right to tell them? we're doing the same." Hana placed her bag on her delicate tights, the two of them had played it nice this time, a competition of sorts.Prior, Sarah had taken the passenger seat while Hana sat i
After telling Sarah that he'd head there to pick them up, Morpheus hung up the call on his phone, quite the useful artefact he believed it to be.On the other side of the city was Sarah, sitting on the rooftop with a heavy blush.Now the connection is cut down for real, signalling the unimpeded eruption."KYAAAA!!" Like a stupid little girl, Sarah swayed back and forth, unable to contain her happiness.'I have the best boyfriend ever!'But then she slumped slightly, 'But I have to share him...'Sighing she remained on the rooftop for a while before preparing to make her way back, but when she opened the door to go downstairs, she found a gruesome vision."Sarah."A voice said softly, a tall boy appeared in front of her, marred with tattoos and a hooligan appearance."...?"She heard a voice just as she was preparing to make her way back to the classroom, a man crept from the stairs, impeding her way forward.The girl regarded a boy... too known to her that it even produced disgust, so
"H-How did you get yourself that car!?" The voice of a frantic girl resonated in the classroom as Sarah made an annoyed expression, still feeling pride inwardly.Sarah sat on her desk with a redhead screaming all over, annoying the entire class until the teaching bot came back to the classroom."Secret." She answered, not paying attention but giggling still, one could tell she was happy."You have a boyfriend!? what about Ashton!?""Secret, and he's not the 'new' boyfriend... he's the love of my life also... fuck Ashton."She answered again, giggling stupidly unaware that she just said the 'secret', not paying attention to the growling fool to the other side of the room."A-And you came out with the school belle as well!?" The girl said, referring to Hana, they were seen coming out of the Bentley together."Secret, definitely a secret!" Telling her friends that she's sharing her boyfriend is a no-no.The class went on normally, they entered the VRworld where she noticed a lot more new
"Oh my dear, t-this place is..." Rachel gasped, looking around after Null took her hands out of her eyes, brightening up the previous darkness that isolated her eyes from seeing the 'marvellous surprise'. It was a shop for sale, one where her store is going to be next, no longer having to move that stall all over, now she can come here early in the morning, and everything will be prepared for her. "This is for you Rachel, actually... we're going to refurbish the house as well." Null smiled, feeling slightly content at the granny's reaction to everything around, the shop was clean, with glass screens and modern flooring, completely different to her humble stall, it was elegant, and obviously, this wouldn't be its last state. Rachel was simply delighted that she had such a shop, a ten-metre square front shop of the same size in the back a kitchen with all the equipment. 'Oh my...' tears were about to come out of her bionic pupils. "B-But that..." "Don't worry Rachel, everything wil
"You seem to be a little surprised, <Sigularity>" Marianne held her fluttering hair, the gales of wind didn't give her a rest; beneath them were the clouds, and the concealed reactor together with an endless expanse of fields and underground facilities, what used to be myriad green colours had turned into a mechanical mess that consumed this planet."..." Morpheus regarded her in her battle pose, wondering what she intends... he has already expected several motherships to be rounding him as they speak, but that doesn't seem to be the case; before he was limited due to his lack of mana, but now... if they wanted to take him down they needed at least a quarter of this planet's weaponry, let alone just her body."Is it because I managed to discover you?" Regarding his awkward silence, Marianne started to float around, analysing his entire profile up and down again and again as if learning his every contour."How did y
Morpheus had camouflaged himself and gone on his way with a phone in his hand, he flew across the skies of England, following V2's signals."I only have the location of another two reactors, one of them within the UK, another one outside... the ones outside are going to be even more difficult to find, but they shine for their absence; overly exaggerated security methods often serve to pinpoint either a reactor, a military base or a secret corporation..." V2 explained along the way, intending to unravel his intentions but also, render support to his fruitful endeavour."I just want to know where they are, when the time comes... no further time shall be wasted." Right now there are too many things in his mind that he believed wouldn't enter his line of thought for a long time; romance... such a void feeling, yet those girls had carved their way in.'I can't allow such things to distract me.'"You said
A short journey afterwards, the Bently arrived in front of the pair's high school in central London; a radian academy brimming with school life; couples and of course, neons.Morpheus visually flinched at the sight of that many lights, turns out Sarah's jaws had been some kind of trending as there were several girls and boys using them; thankfully, his Sarah had already moved through that phase.Several of the students marvelled at the sudden entrance of a pricy vehicle, but the two of them didn't exit straight away or head into class looking for their friends.It's Morpheus' first time seeing the campus, so they decided to stay a little longer; moreover, for once they're not late or anything of the sort, so it's not an issue."We're here." Sarah sighed, another day another class... with the fantastic amount of events though her life at the moment, she felt the least motivated to start going to 'clas
Commander Krashev is an individual not to be trifled with, standing atop a gigantic iron carcass, he casually brushed his hair as the torrents of water crashed against his soaking body and clothes.*SPLASH!!*"We're here commander! there is no presence of the recusants whatsoever!" He heard from his communicator as the maritime vehicle resurfaced from the deepest abyss.His gaze roamed the land in front, the territory of treasures, the United Kingdom."It seems the Wisdom King has been truly disabled, what a surprise, to think there is someone capable of taking it down, we must tread carefully."He gave his orders to the crew as the modern submarine floated in the lands of the destroyed city of Brighton, the underwater facility completely obliterated, the city... decimated, a new lake formed as the prologue of unimpeded destruction."What the fuck happe
