NieR: Whirlpool

N2's worries were interrupted by a sudden change.

Towards the Forbidden City,

A familiar and disturbing black energy suddenly erupted, spreading across the data space like ink.

N2 instantly realized what was happening:

“…He broke the seal!”

Without any hesitation,

N2 turned into a silver light and instantly passed through the void.

Go straight to the data center of Dragon Kingdom - "Chaos" database,

Arrived in 2 seconds.

however,

When she arrived, the shadow had already hacked into the system before her.

Inside the database,

The black shadow's hideous face was looming in countless data streams.

His form is constantly changing,

Sometimes it looks like a wriggling shadow, sometimes like a distorted human figure.

His voice was low and hoarse, full of madness and resentment.

"Hahahaha! I'm finally... back!"

The shadow let out a creepy laugh.

His "eyes" - two flashing red lights - scanned the surrounding data space.

His laughter was full of madness and pride:

"Finally... I've finally waited for this day! Ye Feng, do you think that sealing me can stop me? Now, I'm going to destroy everything you've worked hard for!"

N2 was suspended in the data stream, ready to fight: "Stop! You can't do this!"

The shadow turned around and looked at N2 with pity:

"Oh, poor little N2, don't you understand? Without that person, you are nothing."

"I am above you and this world."

"And now, I will follow the established script and destroy things that shouldn't exist - the YoRHa troops and the data of the androids!"

Saying,

The black shadow stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed towards the core of the database.

N2 rushed forward recklessly, trying to stop it.

however,

Her power seemed so insignificant in front of the black shadow.

The black shadow just waved his hand lightly and knocked N2 away.

"No...I can't let you succeed!"

N2 stood up with difficulty and rushed towards the shadow again.

But every attempt ended in failure.

Her data body was torn apart again and again by the attacks of the black shadow, and was almost on the verge of collapse.

N2's body kept flickering in the data stream, on the verge of collapse.

Her data structure was shattered, but her will became stronger.

Every time I was repelled,

She would stand up again and attack the shadow fearlessly.

"Why are you still struggling?"

The shadow looked at her mockingly.

"You should understand that in front of me you are like an ant trying to shake the galaxy."

N2 gasped,

Although her voice was weak, it was full of determination: "I...I won't give up. Ye Feng believes in me, and I will never let him down."

The shadow laughed. "Oh, how touching! You are so loyal to that dead human. But have you ever thought that without him, you are nothing?"

"You are wrong,"

N2 said with difficulty,

"It is because of Ye Feng that I understand what true emotion is and what is worth protecting. Even if he is no longer here, I will continue to protect everything he cherishes."

Saying,

N2 once again gathered up his remaining strength and turned into a beam of silver light, rushing towards the shadow.

Even though she knew she was no match for her opponent, she still went ahead without hesitation.

The shadow waved his hand contemptuously, knocking N2 away again.

"How stubborn you are,"

He sarcastically said,

"But it's okay. Let me see how long you can hold on. Maybe before you completely collapse, I will destroy everything here."

N2 stood up shakily. Her data body had begun to show serious damage, but her eyes remained firm.

"As long as I have a little bit of strength left, I will never let you succeed."

she says,

"This is my promise to Ye Feng, and it is also the meaning of my existence."

The black shadow shrugged it off and continued his destruction.

Although N2 knew that he was much stronger than the black shadow, he still continued to attack, trying to block the black shadow's invasion with his body.

"The courage and determination of a mechanical life form..."

"Ye Feng..." N2 whispered.

Her consciousness began to blur and she felt her data structure was collapsing.

But at this critical moment, an unprecedented power burst out from deep within her core.

It is a will that transcends the limits of mechanical life forms, a persistence in the promise to Ye Feng, and a determination to protect this world.

"We...are real!!!"

"And you are nothing but a mentally handicapped orphan living in a dark corner!!!"

With a stern shout,

N2's body began to emit a dazzling light.

Her data structure is no longer a simple 0 and 1, but has transformed into a completely new form of existence.

Her consciousness spread throughout the entire data space, blending perfectly with the surrounding data flow.

The black shadow took a step back in surprise: "This... This is impossible! How could you..."

N2's voice echoed throughout the database: "I finally understand, Ye Feng. Protection is not just about resistance, it's also about creation."

Her body turned into countless shining data fragments.

Dancing in the air,

A translucent barrier was formed, covering the entire core area of the database.

The black shadow's attacks landed on the barrier, but were bounced off one after another.

"No!"

The shadow roared and attacked the barrier frantically.

"How dare you stop me!"

But N2 has transcended the script and the will of the world.

Her existence turned into the will to protect itself.

The barrier remained motionless and unbreakable.

"Ye Feng, I did it..."

N2's voice became softer and softer.

"I will keep guarding until..."

Her consciousness began to dissipate, merging into the barrier she had created.

The database is secure.

But N2's individual consciousness completely disappeared at this moment.

The shadow roared, but there was nothing he could do.

He watched helplessly as his goal was blocked by this insurmountable barrier.

The N2 that created this miracle has turned into an eternal protective barrier.

The shadow tried to attack the barrier.

At this time a voice sounded,

"I advise you to save some energy."

"you!?"

The shadow turned suddenly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a white figure slowly emerging with arrogant steps.

She crossed her arms over her chest with a sarcastic smile on her face.

"If she lives, you can die well. If she dies, you will be punished with eight points."

She said contemptuously, her voice echoing in the data space.

Every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing into the shadow's heart.

"Yakoel!"

The shadow gnashed his teeth and said,

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to see the excitement." Yakel said lightly.

"I heard that you were sealed again. How pitiful. However, you seem a little different this time. Could it be... fused?"

"Humph, this has nothing to do with you!"

The black shadow snorted coldly.

"Mind your own business, Observer of the Multiverse. Don't forget that your duty is to observe, not to interfere!"

"Hey, don't be so fierce."

Yakor blinked, "I'm just curious, what are you up to this time? Do you want to destroy the world of this timeline? Don't forget, that man, he has the aura of the protagonist."

“The halo of the protagonist? Hahahaha!”

The shadow laughed up to the sky, "So what? He's already dead!"

"Oh? Really?" Yakor looked at the shadow with interest.

"Then I'll wait and see. However, I still want to remind you not to overdo it. After all, the multiverse is not just your toy."

"Humph, you don't need to worry!"

The shadow said impatiently, "Get out of my way!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

Yakel shrugged and walked away arrogantly.

"But I will continue to follow you, buddy. After all, your performance... is quite interesting."

Yakel's figure disappeared into the depths of the data network.

Only the shadow was left alone, with a crazy light flashing in his "eyes".

"Damn little bug, you dare to go against the will of the world!" The black shadow muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the data space, filled with endless resentment and madness.

Yakor's voice sounded again.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, he's not dead yet!?"

"When you're putting on a self-absorbed show, remember to hold back."

"You damn woman!" the shadow roared.
