NieR: Whirlpool

"you!"

The shadow exclaimed, his voice filled with anger and disbelief.

041 ignored the black shadow's roar and focused on controlling the golden energy in his hand.

That energy dances in the air,

Like a golden thread,

It quickly weaves into a stronger net, reinforcing the shadow's cage layer by layer.

"No!"

The shadow struggled frantically, but his efforts were futile.

at the same time,

041's other hand drew a strange symbol in the air.

As the symbol takes shape,

The black shadow felt a sharp pain, as if something precious was cut off.

"You...what did you do?"

The shadow asked with gritted teeth, covering his lower body.

"You have been cut off from any connection with 2B-related events,"

041 replied calmly,

"You can no longer absorb dimensional energy from it."

The shadow immediately understood his situation.

Anger and despair intertwined together, making him lose his usual composure.

He began to curse wildly, his voice full of madness and unwillingness.

"Damn Ye Feng! Stupid auxiliary machine 042!"

"You stupid pawns! Don't you understand? I am the protector of this world!"

"Without me, the entire timeline will collapse!"

041 looked at the furious black shadow indifferently and shook his head slightly.

"Openly claiming that he is qualified to be a guardian."

"Now, you are just a dangerous lunatic who must be sealed away completely."

finished,

041 turned and left, leaving the black shadow to continue roaring in the cage.

In holographic projection,

2B's image gradually faded, and the shadow could only watch helplessly as his last hope turned into nothing.

suddenly,

The shadow of 041 reappeared, looking hurried.

“I almost forgot this!”

He whispered to himself, then raised his hand and waved,

A golden energy wave quickly spread out.

At this moment, the black shadow felt a sharp pain.

It was as if something was cut off again.

He roared angrily, but the sound quickly dissipated into the void.

041 nodded with satisfaction.

"Got it. Now he shouldn't be able to absorb dimensional energy from 9S's incident."

"You ride on the horse..."

Just as the shadow was about to start cursing,

041's figure disappeared in an instant, and no more sweet words could be heard from his lips.

After a while,

041 reappeared,

“I almost forgot this!”

Then he raised his hand and waved it, cutting off the shadow's channel for absorbing dimensional abilities from A2-related events.

After doing all this, he disappeared on the spot.

Only the black shadow was left standing there in amazement.

"Is this a public restroom!?"

"Come whenever you want!"

"Leave if you want!"

And at the same time

Somewhere in the void, a mysterious white figure was watching all this silently.

The man sighed softly and murmured to himself:

"What a great show, human. No, Ye Feng!"

Subsequently,

She took arrogant steps, cut a hole in the void, and disappeared into the dimensional crack.

In the cage,

"The protagonist group..."

"S-level incident..."

"How can you bully people like this?"

"Gone……"

“All gone…”

The wailing of a black shadow came from the void,

He wept bitterly.

Black energy surges around the body.

Feeling aggrieved like a child thousands of years old.

Shortly after,

YoRHa's Betrayal, Forest Kingdom, Animal Incident, Mukai Incident, Arena Incident, Grun Incident,

Let him collect six strands of dimensional energy,

It incorporates the mid-dimensional energy absorbed during the town duplication incident.

“Finally…Finally…!”

Deep in the data network,

A human figure made up of countless light points is suspended in the void.

This is the guardian of the timeline that has been sealed for a long time.

His body kept flickering, as if he was about to die of excitement in the next second.

At this moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his "face".

The shadow trembled,

Tears-like spots of light actually seeped out of the eye sockets made up of data streams.

These points of light drifted in the void, and each drop contained unimaginable energy.

"I've waited too long for this moment,"

He murmured to himself, his voice full of excitement.

"Finally, we have gathered enough dimensional energy!"

The shadow stretched out a hand made of data and gently stroked the energy fragments floating around.

These fragments sparkle with colorful light.

Each one represents an affected event, a distorted timeline.

With the help of these dimensional energies, he sent a strand of his will out of the cage that Ye Feng had built for him.

"Ye Feng, you damn time traveler,"

The shadow's voice suddenly became ferocious.

"Do you think you can seal me forever? Haha... naive!"

His eyes looked into the distance, as if he could penetrate the data network and see everything in the real world.

"This time, my target is your most trusted ally - male N2. Through him, I can influence Eve."

The shadow's laughter echoed in the void, full of madness and distortion.

"Eve, you will become my sharp sword and wipe out the last trace of Ye Feng's soul with your own hands!"

His body began to twist and turned into streams of data, flowing in a specific direction.

"Just wait and see, Ye Feng. I am the real master of this game!"

As the shadow disappeared, ripples appeared in the data network.

It seemed as if the whole world was shaking because of his actions.

far away,

A huge metal sphere - the core of the mechanical life form network slowly rotates.

The male N2 who was playing dirty and slacking off had no idea of the plot he was about to face.

At this time, Ye Feng

I was trapped in an absurd situation, and I was completely unaware of the crisis brewing in the dark...

finally,

No surprise.

There is intention but no intention.

The end of the matter,

Ye Feng was wiped out, wiped out at the soul level.

Simultaneously,

Male N2 was bewitched and broke up with female N2.

And the price,

It was because he could no longer obtain dimensional energy from Adam and N2.

"If you enter the game with your own body, you will win half the battle!"

A holographic projection of a dark figure floated in mid-air, watching the scene before it.

As relieved.

Looking at the freshly-made YoRHa 9M who looked like an idiot, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He just witnessed Ye Feng's death.

The long-lost feeling of victory was still stirring in his heart.

however,

When he saw the familiar wild boar, all his joy instantly turned into vigilance and uneasiness.

"Damn it, it's this damn pig again!"

The shadow cursed.

His black figure flickered in the cage, revealing his inner restlessness.

The wild boar,

It was on March 3th that he almost succeeded.

At that time, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take over Ye Feng's body.

But the situation was disrupted by this beast that looked ordinary but was actually not ordinary at all.

Now, it appears here again.

This is no coincidence.

The shadow carefully observed the wild boar's every move.

suddenly,

He noticed that the boar's eyes were flashing an unusual green light.

That light,

He was very familiar with it—it was Ye Feng’s spiritual power!
