NieR: Whirlpool

(Disclaimer at the beginning: If anyone wants to read the book about how the righteous androids lead the elite YoRHa troops to defeat the evil machine lifeforms and N2 and take back the Earth, please write it yourself, or turn right when you get out!)

Satellite Base No. 1,

In front of the angular French windows,

Prime stood quietly in front of the viewing window.

Gazing at the boundless universe outside the window and the long-silent blue planet.

a thousand years,

For a man-made being like him,

It is also an unimaginably long period of time.

His body had been damaged countless times in battles, and repaired and replaced countless times.

He became the supreme commander of the artificial human army.

The comrades who had lived together day and night had long since turned to dust.

In a physical sense.

This tall man has a strong appearance and tough lines.

Every scar is a testimony to his battle history.

His eyes revealed the firmness and indomitable spirit of a soldier.

But behind this determination lies a deep loneliness and exhaustion.

He was wearing a neat military uniform.

The five star emblems on the shoulder straps flashed coldly under the lights of the base.

just,

He was in a trance.

It's like going back to the 21st century years ago.

At that time, he was still a newly created artificial human.

He remembered,

How I fought for them on the battlefield.

same,

He also remembered,

How they were exploited by humans and how they were ruthlessly abandoned after the war.

He remembered those cold gazes, and remembered those creators who treated him as a tool rather than a life.

In his dream, he felt unprecedented fear and despair.

Because he realized that

Even today, ten thousand years later, his fate seems to have never changed.

From the outside,

He fought for "humanity" for ten thousand years.

But humans became extinct 10,000 years ago.

Everything he did seemed to have lost its meaning.

After waking up from the dream,

Prime sat up in bed in shock.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat and his heart was beating like a drum.

The scene in the dream is so real,

So much so that he could hardly distinguish between reality and illusion.

Ten thousand years of solitude and fighting, all the sacrifice and suffering,

All of this came to mind at this moment.

He got dressed.

Walking around the base.

now,

He stood in the command room of Satellite Base No. 1.

All around were cold metal walls and gleaming control panels.

He looked around.

All the facilities in the base seem so familiar, yet so strange.

He walked to the viewing window and gazed at the blue planet.

For ten thousand years,

He has always believed that his mission is to continue the glory of mankind, even if mankind is no longer there.

His beliefs, his everything,

They are all built on this concept.

"No," he shook his head and said to himself firmly.

"The glory of the original human race will live forever!"

This sentence is like a spell, it is both his belief and his command.

His voice echoed in the empty observation deck, as if to encourage himself.

It was like he was fighting against the doubts that were quietly growing in his heart.

But his dreams,

The memories of human indifference and callousness began to shake him.

He began to question.

What is the meaning of my existence?

Who is he fighting for?

For whom to protect the glory?

Prime took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart.

he knows,

As the supreme commander of the android army, he cannot have the slightest hesitation or wavering.

Every decision he makes affects the future of all artificial humans.

His gaze was firm.

Although the seeds in his heart had been planted, he chose to bury them deep.

"The glory of the original human race will live forever!"

He whispered again,

This time, there was a hint of determination in his voice.

Prime turned around and strode back to the command room.

No one saw it.

In his deep and sharp eyes,

A cloud of restless black air surged,

Spreading wantonly,

Like an abyss.

……

the other side,

Dragon Kingdom Forbidden City Base,

Ye Feng and N2 play the roles of 9S and 2B respectively, and engage in a fierce battle with Engels in the factory.

Ye Feng Kankan dodged the high-energy particle beam fired by Engels,

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he started swearing.

He was so addicted to the game that he suddenly had an idea.

His right palm slowly covered the phantom light on his left wrist.

Gently rub the inlaid crystal ball to release the internal energy.

As energy gathers,

Ye Feng opened his arms and directed the energy to his hands.

Then raise your arms over your head to form a figure eight.

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes.

Then quickly bring your hands together to form a cross.

"Membim Knight Ray!!!"

With a loud roar,

A golden ray emanates from his right hand.

The temperature of the light is over 10 degrees Celsius, containing high thermal energy and simulated Spacium material elements.

The Mebius rays bombarded Engels with the force of thunder, and the rays cut through the air with destructive power.

Engels had nowhere to escape from the power of the Mebius rays and was engulfed by the golden light.

His shell made of solid metal began to crack under the high temperature and impact of the Mebius rays, as if even time had frozen at this moment.

Boom~

Accompanied by a deafening explosion.

Fragments flew and sparks flew.

Engels' huge body disappeared into thin air and was everywhere!

"You are such a scoundrel!"

There was a hint of helplessness and laughter in N2's voice.

The 2B she controlled stood in the ruins at the bridge head, looking at Ye Feng's 9S.

Ye Feng chuckled, and his 9S struck an exaggerated victory pose in the virtual space.

"This is strength, N2."

He teased, with a hint of smugness in his tone.

N2 shook her head and her 2B character shrugged.

"We agreed not to use any special abilities!"

at this time,

The seawater in the game space surged again.

Three Engels suddenly appeared,

Their tall and majestic bodies blocked out the sunset.

2B controlled by N2 was eager to try and was about to do something.

There was only a loud sound of breaking air.

A black and red beam of light streaked across the sky.

It hit Engels' head hard.

"Discirum Ray!!!"

The light swept across again.

"Noah Hellfire!"

"Noah Lightning!"

In an instant,

The three Engels turned into three mushroom clouds.

"This……"

"you……"

N2 opened his mouth.

He pointed at Ye Feng who was posing in the air and was speechless for a long time.

Ye Feng laughed.

His 9S did a beautiful roll in the air and landed steadily next to N2's 2B.

"How is it? Is he handsome?!"

He shook the phantom light on his wrist,

"Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave!"

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!"

He didn't notice at all that N2's face was as gloomy as water.

N2's 2B character's frown gradually relaxed.

Standing there quietly, a complex emotion showed on her face.

"Ye Feng, the game is no longer fun if you cheat like this."

There was a hint of reproach in her voice, but also a hint of helpless smile.

Ye Feng's 9S character scratched his head, with a hint of embarrassment in his smile.

"Oh, this is so exciting."

He explained,

"Besides, in the game, having fun is the most important thing."

N2's 2B character sighed.

After two days of contact,

She knew Ye Feng's character.

He is always like this, likes to find excitement and fun in games.

"Okay, okay, forget it this time."

Ye Feng, "What should we do next?"

N2 raised an eyebrow, "Reopen it!"

Ye Feng: ???

N2 complained, "Stuck!"

As she spoke, N2's slender finger clicked [Load Save Point] on the interface.

She seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ye Feng curiously.

"What are the names of the two rays of light just now?"

Hearing Ye Feng's answer,

She smiled meaningfully.

Then he pointed a finger at Ye Feng's forehead.

Ye Feng suddenly felt a chill.

【seal! 】

at the same time,

The surrounding scene changes.

In a flash,

N2's 2B was back on the bridge, and Engels raised the saw and smashed it at her.

The roar of 9S played by Ye Feng came from the communication.

"2B~~~"

Ye Feng piloted the HO fighter and rushed over.
