NieR: Whirlpool

The air pressure above Pyongyang dropped suddenly.

A dazzling beam of particles fell from the sky, tearing through the stratospheric sky.

Ye Feng sensed the danger at the first moment, and he controlled 9M's body to react quickly.

"careful!"

9S and 2B shouted almost at the same time, and the three HO fighters instantly deployed their shields, protecting Ye Feng's fighter in the center.

The metallic electromagnetic shield gleams with a cold luster in the sunlight.

boom--!

The second particle beam came crashing down.

The shield trembled violently, and electronic sparks burst around the edges.

Tiny cracks began to appear on the 9M's fuselage, spreading rapidly like a spider web.

“I can’t take it anymore!” 9S growled.

N2 underground captured this scene clearly through holographic images.

She didn't notice.

There was a strange black air flowing in his eye sockets.

But this moment is full of anxiety.

The ground in the Pyongyang area began to shake violently, and white buildings rose from the ground like giants awakening.

Rumbling--

The power of mechanical life forms was fully demonstrated at this moment.

The city of Pyongyang suddenly fell into chaos.

The ground shook violently, as if a giant beast was rolling underground.

The towering skyscrapers shook violently, their glass curtain walls shattered, and large pieces of glass fragments fell like raindrops.

The androids occupying the urban area were caught off guard and fled in all directions.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise.

A huge crack appeared in the ground, dividing Pyongyang's main road in two.

Several moving military vehicles fell into the abyss in an instant, accompanied by harsh metal collision sounds and the screams of the androids.

As the white buildings rose from the ground, the surrounding buildings collapsed like a house of cards.

Rubble and reinforced concrete blocks flew everywhere.

The fleeing android soldiers on the street were smashed into pieces.

An ancient monument collapsed in the earthquake, crashing into the nearby android headquarters.

The commander barely escaped, but his lieutenant was pinned under the rubble.

"Retreat! Full retreat!"

The commander shouted at the top of his lungs, his face full of panic and unwillingness.

However, the order to retreat came too late.

As the white buildings unfolded, the ground undulated like waves.

Groups of androids were sucked into the ground and disappeared from sight.

The survivors fled frantically to the edge of the city.

But the power of mechanical life forms far exceeded their imagination.

N2 watched all this coldly through the holographic image.

Her gaze was always following Ye Feng in the sky, and a deep anxiety flashed in her eyes.

N2 mobilized all his energy to create a thick, translucent protective shield for Ye Feng and the other three.

154 and 041, located underground in the Forbidden City of Longguo, witnessed the thrilling events in the sky above Pyongyang through holographic projection.

There was anxiety and helplessness in their eyes, and they could only watch it all happen anxiously.

154 gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, are we just going to watch this?"

041 shook his head, his tone filled with helplessness: "You and I both know that N2's power is far superior to ours. Even if we want to intervene, we are powerless."

154 clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. "But the host and the others are in danger! Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

041 sighed, still staring at the holographic projection: "Trust N2. She cares about Ye Feng as much as we do. Moreover, she has the authority to mobilize the entire network of mechanical life forms and can do much more than us."

At this moment, they saw N2 open a thick translucent protective shield for Ye Feng and the other three.

154 relaxed a little, but his brows were still furrowed. "I hope this is enough to protect him."

041 nodded: "N2 will definitely do their best. However, this sudden attack may completely change the situation. We must prepare for the coming storm."

154 said thoughtfully, "You are right. No matter what, we must prepare for their safety. If the situation changes, we must act immediately."

The two continued to stare at the holographic projection, filled with worry but helpless.

At this moment, they can only place their hopes on the strength of N2 and Ye Feng and pray silently that the crisis over Pyongyang can be safely overcome.

however,

Also, no one noticed that a layer of strange black gas lingered on the shield created by N2, which began to weaken the power of the shield strangely and rapidly.

the other side,

Inside the Satellite Base No. 1,

Prime stood in front of the holographic projection, staring coldly at the battle situation over Pyongyang.

"Tom, mobilize all satellites in the D132 space-based satellite strike group." Prim said in a cold tone.

"Destroy them completely for me."

Tom Parker immediately saluted: "Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

He quickly input the command, and all satellites under the D132 Space-Based Satellite Strike Group began to lock onto targets, with particle beams ready to go.

At the same time, a dark shadow quietly appeared behind Prime.

"We are determined to win, aren't we?" The shadow's low voice echoed in the command room.

Prime didn't look back, his eyes still fixed on the holographic projection: "N2's power is being weakened. This is a great opportunity."

After a pause,

"Your abilities are terrifying!"

The shadow let out an eerie laugh, "Your curiosity is impressive."

Prime, "You calculated correctly. N2 will help them open the shield. This... is your chance to get close to that human."

Dark Shadow, "I will disintegrate his soul, and leave his body to you!"

"Don't let me down! Hehehe..."

bunker,

21, Yotsuba, and White noticed the unusual movement and were horrified.

They quickly gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures.

21O frowned and said, "Something is wrong. We need to contact Commander-in-Chief Prime immediately."

Yotsuba nodded in agreement. "Yes, this sudden attack is very unusual. The intelligence network has been interrupted and we cannot obtain more information."

White hurriedly operated the communication equipment and quickly established a connection with Prime.

Prime's holographic image appeared in front of them, his face solemn: "Everyone, I think you have seen what happened over Pyongyang."

21O got straight to the point: "Commander-in-Chief, what is going on? Why did you suddenly attack them?"

Prime sighed, his tone filled with anger: "This is a conspiracy by the mechanical life forms. They broke their promise and violated the previous agreement."

Yotsuba was surprised and said, "But, the shield protecting 2B and the others was obviously the work of a mechanical life form!"

Prime sneered, "Yes, the mechanical life forms are protecting that so-called [human]!"

"You are so stupid that you haven't realized the problem yet."

"Open your eyes and see clearly."

He zoomed in on the image and saw the ground in Pyongyang shaking violently, with android officers and soldiers wailing everywhere.

And in the sky,

Ye Feng actually took over N2's protective shield,

And shoots a beam of energy upwards,

Fighting against the high-energy particle beams of the D132 satellite strike group.
