NieR: Whirlpool

The data streams of the three auxiliary machines began to intertwine, forming a temporary "data structure".

11S uses the powerful computing power of 153 to perform a deep scan of the data stream of 154.

Trying to find the source of the intrusion.

042 is responsible for building a data firewall to prevent the further spread of the intrusion.

Time passed by minute by minute,

In 11S's consciousness space,

Data flows at lightning speed, carrying out a silent battle in a tense and orderly manner.

suddenly,

11S's consciousness caught a glimpse of faint black energy.

It is hidden deep within the 154 data stream, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

"found it!"

11S was delighted.

He immediately mobilized all his mental strength and pounced towards the black energy.

The black energy seemed to feel threatened.

He began to flee frantically, trying to escape 11S's pursuit.

But 11S had already locked onto its position, so how could it let it escape so easily?

"Leave me alone!"

11S roared in his consciousness.

His mental power turned into an invisible net, trapping the black energy tightly.

After a fierce "fight",

That strand of black energy was finally completely subdued by 11S.

It was compressed into a tiny black dot, suspended in 11S's consciousness space.

"What is this?"

11S observed the black spot carefully. He could sense an evil and powerful force contained in it.

"This power... is very strange..."

11S frowned. He had never seen such power before.

"What kind of black technology is this?!"

at this time,

153's voice sounded in 11S's consciousness:

"11S, we have traced the source of the intrusion. It comes from an independent data space. 154's consciousness is trapped there!"

"Independent data space?"

11S's heart moved, and he immediately understood.

"Something must have pulled 154's consciousness into an independent data space, trying to control her!"

"That's right!" 153 confirmed 11S's guess.

"That data space is very dangerous. We must rescue 154 as soon as possible!"

"I see!"

11S took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm.

"153, 042, give me a hand, I want to open the gap in that data space and rescue 154!"

"understand!"

153 and 042 answered in unison.

The power of the three auxiliary machines gathered together again.

Under the guidance of 11S, it becomes a sharp "data blade".

He chopped hard at the mysterious data space.

"Open it for me!"

11S roared, and the Data Blade burst into a dazzling light.

A crack appeared in the barrier of data space.

The cracks are getting bigger.

11S saw the scene inside the data space - it was a dark and twisted world full of chaos and madness.

154's consciousness was trapped in a huge black cage.

Countless black chains were wrapped around her body and she was struggling in pain.

And beside her,

There stood a strange-looking fellow.

11S is so disgusting to watch.

"154!"

11S shouted,

His consciousness turned into a stream of light and rushed into the data space.

Fly towards the direction of 154.

"11S..."

154's consciousness heard 11S's call, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

"Oh? Isn't this the 11S who should have died long ago? Why, he's not dead yet and wants to flutter around a few more times?"

The shadow's voice echoed in the data space, with a hint of teasing and mockery.

"Or do you think you can escape from my clutches by changing into a new body?"

Following the words of the shadow,

Several black tentacles made of data streams came from all directions and wrapped around 11S.

These tentacles are extremely flexible.

Twisting in the air,

It seems to have life, with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Tsk, I'm not afraid of a dark guy like you!"

11S is being tough on others.

His body moved flexibly in the air.

Like a slippery squid,

He narrowly avoided the tentacle attack.

"Oh? You're quite skilled."

There was a hint of surprise in the shadow's voice.

"It seems that your lazy life during this period of time has not completely degenerated you."

"Humph, of course!"

11S dodged the tentacle's attack while still talking back.

"I want to become YoRHa's strongest scanning android! You think you can catch me with just these few tentacles?"

The voice has not fallen,

11 seconds of acceleration, turning into a stream of light,

Teleport to 154's side.

He stretched out his hand and tried to cut the black chains.

"it's useless……"

154's voice was filled with despair.

"These chains were created by the shadow using a power that does not belong to this world. You cannot cut them with your ability..."

"No, there must be a way!"

11S said firmly,

"Don't underestimate us scanners!"

He concentrated.

The black dot in his hand - the black energy he had captured,

Injected into the Data Blade.

The Data Blade suddenly glowed with a dark light, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

"Is this... the power of the timeline guardian?" 154 asked in surprise.

"do not know!"

"That guy is called the Timeline Guardian?"

11S shook his head.

"Just say so!"

“Give him a taste of his own medicine! Since these chains were made by Black Shadow using his power, I will use his power to cut them off!”

After output,

11S wielded the Data Blade and slashed at the black chains fiercely.

Click!

A crisp sound was heard.

Those indestructible black chains were easily cut by the data blade!

"Success!"

11S was delighted and continued to swing the Data Blade.

Cut off all other chains on 154.

“11S… Thank you…”

154's consciousness was finally free, and her eyes were filled with gratitude.

"let's go!"

11S took 154's hand and flew with her towards the exit of the data space.

Under the cover of 153 and 042,

11S and 154 successfully left the data space and returned to the real world.

just,

11S rescued 154 in a short period of time.

The shadow watched everything that happened, his mouth wide open.

If he had a mouth, of course.

The tentacles he stretched into the air also stayed where they were.

Watching several people flee, the tentacles turned towards the shadow.

It seemed to be asking him: Are you still chasing me?

"Chase the hell!"

The shadow growled.
