Chapter 377: Heroine Chapter: Target Neutralized. [2/2]
"Can any of the targets fly?"
[Negative. None of them have the ability to fly or levitate. Only #target 26 seems to be able to fight even with the lack of oxygen. Lady Liv has refrained from shooting any of them, and is using [Sky Walk] to kill them with blunt trauma. She seems to want to torture them.]
"I see. She did say that treason is death in the North."
Originally, we wanted to wait for the plane to land and assassinate them at the airport. But Liv wanted to kill her in an ambush. She was so into it that when Jo joked about ambushing her in the air, the Northerner agreed.
According to Liv, the Northerners were no longer human. They didn't need to eat, sleep or even breathe. For the rest of us, including me and Jo, even though we could technically operate that way, we didn't.
Subconsciously, we still wanted to eat, sleep, and act as if we needed oxygen. Humans regularly needed an Sp02 of 98 to 99%. Anything less and you would suffocate and feel like you were being strangled.
Everest has what is called a death zone at 8,000 meters. This meant that at that altitude your body could not get oxygen, so the veins to your heart would start to burst one by one. When they do, the fluids fill your lungs and you slowly suffocate.
Liv fought at 11,000 meters. The Sp02 rating there is 13%. Even though we were reapers, our bodies mimicked human anatomy. So we felt the same pain and experienced the same pleasure.
After Jo explained the painful effects of fighting at that altitude, Liv decided to engage them there. This meant that the Phantoms fighting Liv couldn't breathe and had to worry about an angry 198cm Norther Phantom.
"Seems" is an understatement. Liv will definitely drag this out as long as she can. "
[Indeed. Lady Lilly has been instructed to keep the Phantoms from falling to their deaths. The four are trapped by Lady Lilly's portals and helpless against Lady Liv].
"This seems like a waste of time, though."
[CrossEyedHipster: It's okay, this is something Liv wants. The rest of us can pick up the slack. Besides, Honey is powering up as we speak.]
[AssCheekNiggerette: Is he still in the red-light district?]
[CrossEyedHipster: No, he already left. He bought two slaves and is now training in a fallen zone.]
[AssCheekNiggerette: Slaves? I thought he was there to buy soulgear? Are any of the slaves female?]
[CrossEyedHipster: One is. And she is even flatter than Robyn]
[AlbinoLadyboy: Really? I call dibs! She will be the first member of Rhiannon's Hellcats!]
[PsychoticButcher: Bella, any chance she likes Darling?]
[CrossEyedHipster: Doubt it, the girl's name is Pixie Richards, she apparently wants to bone her guardian or stepbrother or whatever. Americans are really weird.]
[MasochisticBossbitch: Please, I hardly need to defend myself from a country that has "transgender surprise" as its top trending search. With hentai being the most watched category.] Explore more at m,v l'e-m|p| y r
[CrossEyedHipster: Is that your rebuttal? Porn stats? This fucking puta!]
[SamuraiFacial: Ara, what's wrong with hentai? These numbers are from the Pornhub 2023 report, right? Hentai was number 1 in the world. While Japanese was number 4. If there is one thing my people know, it is how to have sex.]
[PsychoticButcher: You will be extinct in 50 years. You don't know how to fuck, that's the problem. You are just a bunch of depraved virgins who keep making NTR.]
[SamuraiFacial: ...]
[CrossEyedHipster: I just checked the top 5 search terms for the USA are lesbian, MILF, hentai, Latina, and ebony. You don't belong in any of those categories, Princess. Even your own men would rather fuck Latinas and Blacks than you white trash!]
[MasochisticBossbitch: I could pass for a MILF though? And I don't really care about the whole country, what matters is what dearest is watching.]
Feeling that this could get out of hand if left unchecked, I reigned in the sirens.
[AssCheekNiggerette: Can we please get back to work? Bella, how many of the fifty targets have been killed?]
[CrossEyedHipster: We took out eighteen of them already, hold on. Children, please present your homework.]
[Sabel: Mother, target #39 has been liquidated. One Switchblade 600 consumed. Target #7 and Target #42 will follow in four and seven minutes, respectively.]
[Alfonso: Mother, Target #35 has pancaked along with his car. Target #36 has been vaporized. Ready to return to staging area.]
[Henry: Mother, target #19 has been unalived. Four rogues were with him. They went to the pigs. Heading back to base]
[CrossEyedHipster: So that's 24, if the remaining three that Liv is playing with die, there would only be 23 left. Robyn, Jo and Aki are on their way to three more, while one is coming towards you. We still have over two hours to hunt the less than twenty remaining.]
[MasochisticBossbitch: Liv has finally killed two of them. The last one is currently being beaten lopsidedly. I will move on to another target. Bella, be a dear and open a door for me.]
Leaving the city, I started using {Portals} instead of [Flash Step] as I continued to run on air. The Sirens were obviously starting to focus on their hunts, as our targets were getting farther and farther apart.
I couldn't help but comment cautiously, as my mind began to wander.
"Tsk... these machines are terrifying. Exa. Right now, Bella still has yet to increase her forces because she can no longer do so, right?"
[Yes, Lady Jasmine. Lady Bella's mind can be thought of as a Hexacore CPU of the highest caliber. Each of her three children consumes four of these minds. While she herself uses four at maximum efficiency.]
"And she is still only a Phantom. The more she evolves, the more ridiculous her processing power would be."
[Indeed. But such an assessment is the same for all Sirens, Lady Jasmine. And Limitless is extremely proud of that fact. He has low self-esteem, but absolutely adores each of the ladies.]
Hearing the AI's words, I couldn't help but smile. My mood improved drastically as I remembered the man I loved the most. In just one day, more and more people came to his side.
The Seeker War wagering pool was a wonderful example of his greatness. As my sister and I became increasingly frightened by the results, people from all walks of life came to his aid.
"Jas. Sniff. Darling. What if darling dies? I can't. I just can't.
How is he supposed to fight for 19 hours alone! It's my fault. If only I was stronger! I should just die! I am so fucking useless. Jas!
Sniff. What do I do? Tell me!"
My sister cried pitifully between heart-wrenching sobs. No words came out of my mouth as my brain went blank.
Although I tried to be strong at that moment, I couldn't think of a solution. I was terrified. It was only when the other Sirens berated me that I came to my senses.
'If not for them I would still be lost at this moment,' I knew in my heart.
Focusing on my task, I traveled as fast as I could to my destination. About twenty {Portals} later, I finally arrived in Colorado.
"Alright, finally here."
It took me about thirty minutes to reach my designated sniper perch. I laid down in a prone position and prepared to take my shot.
I had what I calculated to be a 4 second window. The train would stop for a few minutes before passengers were allowed to disembark. It was unfortunate that I wasn't as skilled with {Portal} as Lilly, or I wouldn't have had to run all the way over here.
I quickly found my target and took aim. I deliberately a spot where he would need to mingle with people. Such tight spaces would slow down his reactions. I didn't want him to escape.
Ignoring everything else in my mind, I calmly put his soulgem in my sights as I pulled the trigger. With the Sirens hunting, the chances of any of them joining the war were nil.
"Target Neutralized," I once again declared.
