NieR: Whirlpool

Across the ocean, the North American continent.

The cold winter wind carried snowflakes and ruthlessly beat against the ice-covered land.

Sunshine has long become the most luxurious memory on this land.

The eternal night shrouds the place, and coldness becomes the only melody here.

Deep underground in Helena, Montana, a massive base is quietly operating.

This is the kingdom of machine life forms and the fortress of Prime and the human army.

Inside the base, the lights are on.

Countless mechanical life forms are busy at their respective posts like industrious ants.

Some of them are responsible for maintaining the operation of the base.

Some are responsible for the production of weapons and equipment,

Others are responsible for monitoring the entire North American continent.

Everything seemed in order.

Inside the command room, a huge electronic screen was displaying the battle situation in various parts of North America in real time.

suddenly,

Three flashing red dots are particularly eye-catching - Washington, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

These three once prosperous cities have now become battlefields and are suffering from a sudden attack.

"Report! The bases in Washington, San Francisco, and Los Angeles were attacked by unidentified YoRHa troops!"

The urgent voice of a mechanical life form communications soldier broke the silence in the command room.

"They wear white combat uniforms, and their fighting style is completely different from the destroyed YoRHa troops. They are more ruthless and more efficient."

"Our three bases... have been captured by them."

There was a tremor in the signalman's voice.

"They destroyed all defense facilities and controlled the core area. We...we couldn't stop them."

"What's worse is that they seem to have some special ability that can interfere with our communication system. We can't get in touch with the fighting area."

The signalman added,

“They are isolated.”

"Finally, they detonated the energy core in the base. The entire base... along with themselves, was completely destroyed."

The signalman's voice became lower and lower, and finally almost inaudible.

"We...we lost three important strongholds."

"To ensure that nothing goes wrong, we launched several 'Minuteman' nuclear missiles to thoroughly cleanse the three areas."

There was a hint of determination in the signalman's voice.

"Now, there is no sign of life there."

There was dead silence in the command room.

"Bai Yi Ye..."

Prem,

At this point, the individual data has been synchronized to the body of a mechanical life form.

His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from a distant hell.

"What are their origins?"

"According to our database analysis, these models of Shiroi Yoruha have never appeared before."

Tom Parker, who was standing next to Prime, said,

"Their combat data is also completely different from the known YoRHa units. They seem to be... some kind of completely new model."

"A brand new model?" Prime's electronic eyes flashed with a faint green light.

"Could it be that... those guys on the other side of the Earth have come up with some new tricks?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Tom Parker nodded.

"However, according to our intelligence, those guys are not united. Perhaps... this is the result of their internal struggle."

"Humph, no matter who did this, they must pay the price!"

There was anger in Prem's voice.

"Order: All troops enter the first level combat readiness state and strengthen monitoring of the American continent. Once a similar situation is discovered, immediately launch a devastating strike!"

"Yes!" Tom Parker took the order and left.

Prime looked at the three red dots on the screen that had disappeared, and a complex light flashed in his electronic eyes.

The huge screen in the command room had returned to calm, with only the monotonous human military logo remaining.

It seemed to be mocking everything that had just happened.

After Tom Parker left, Prime was left alone in the huge space.

He stood there quietly.

The light in the electron's eyes flickered, as if a fierce ideological struggle was going on.

he knows,

Although he temporarily controlled the mechanical life forms on the American continent, it was ultimately just a disguise.

His true identity is a man-made man, the leader of the "human army".

His goal is to revive humanity... no, the glory of artificial humans.

Instead of becoming the leader of mechanical life forms.

He was well aware that the seemingly solid fortress beneath his feet was actually full of dangers.

Once his true identity is revealed,

Those mechanical life form leaders who were temporarily suppressed by him using the authority of N2 would tear him to pieces without hesitation.

They are loyal to

It is always N2 who represents the highest will of the mechanical life form.

Not the fake one he is.

And now,

The authority of N2 has fallen into Ye Feng's hands.

That man,

The man who was once "eliminated" by him,

Now he has become a key figure in determining the future of mechanical life forms.

This made Prem feel deeply ironic and uneasy.

His mechanical arm slowly raised up,

Holding a thin piece of paper in my hand,

That was the invitation letter sent by Ye Feng.

The gilded font gleamed faintly in the dim light.

It clearly says: You are cordially invited to come to Tokyo on October 10st to discuss the future of mechanical life.

What made him even more troubled was that

The leaders of the mechanical life forms in North America were actually asking for his opinion - whether to go to Tokyo to attend the meeting chaired by Ye Feng.

Little do they know that the "Prime-sama" they admire is actually a complete liar.

To this end, he secretly developed his own power.

But unfortunately,

The three bases that were just destroyed belonged entirely to them.

Prime's electronic eyes flashed rapidly, and countless thoughts collided wildly in his core program.

To go or not to go? It's a tough decision.

Prime's electronic eyes stared at every word on the invitation, as if he wanted to engrave them into his core program.

His emotions were fluctuating violently, anger, confusion, fear, and even a hint of... anticipation?

If you go,

Once Ye Feng exposed his disguise in public,

He will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Those mechanical life leaders would tear him to pieces without hesitation.

And everything he has will be wiped out.

but,

If you don't go,

How could he understand Ye Feng’s true intentions?

How can we take the initiative in future games?

more importantly,

He must figure out how Ye Feng came back to life.

three years ago,

He clearly saw with his own eyes that Ye Feng's body was destroyed and his soul was devoured by the black shadow.

Why does he appear again?

What kind of secret is hidden in this?

Prime felt an unprecedented irritation.

He is like an acrobat walking on a tightrope.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

He must carefully maintain his disguise while always being on guard against threats from all sides.

"Ye Feng..."

Prime's voice was low and hoarse, echoing in the empty command room.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

His mechanical arm clenched into a fist, his knuckles making a crackling sound.

In the electronic eyes, the dark green light became brighter and brighter, as if it was going to swallow up everything around it.

After getting angry,

He thought about the power behind Ye Feng, but felt deeply powerless.

"Tokyo Conference..."

A complicated light flashed in Prime's electronic eyes.

"Decide the future of mechanical life? What an arrogant tone!"

He sneered, and with a fierce clench of his mechanical arm, the invitation letter instantly turned into powder.

However, his heart could not calm down.

Ye Feng's words were like a seed, taking root and sprouting in his core program, and continuing to grow.
