Chapter 142 vs [ Silver Gospel ] - II

"Where's Cloud?" Houki asked as he looked around. She had been the last to arrive at the command center because she was doing some last-minute target practice so she could be ready.

"Cloud made contact with the target" - answered Tabane seriously.

"Cloud went to fight alone?!" - Charlotte exclaimed with surprise while the fury grew within her - "How could they allow it?!"

The others were also surprised to hear such news.

"We did it because we have the necessary confidence that he will be able to stop the hostile forces while you show up and start destroying the enemy IS" - answered Tabane seriously - "If he didn't do this, then his level of danger and possible death would increase by 50%

". . ." - The pilots clenched their fists furiously as they nodded weakly.

"If you really want to do something, then get ready to leave at any moment" - Chifuyu said seriously - "When you reach the location, all you have to do is fight with everything you have to ease Cloud's situation"

"Hai!" - exclaimed the pilots while they invoked their IS.

"They leave in 15 minutes" - said that, Chifuyu looked at the monitor again.

* * * * *

"Before you die..." - Autumn said - "Why don't you tell me why you came alone?"

"Because I'm more than enough to eliminate them all"-the blonde answered with disdain as he looked around.

"I guess I'm going to be left with the doubt"-murmured the enemy pilot while she snapped her fingers-"You can start"

A hail of energy bullets was directed at the blond, who quickly began to fly to avoid taking damage.

"Your weaponry has good mobility" - Autumn said as 50 black IS flew towards the boy in order to cut his path - "But the numerical disadvantage is not the only factor for your defeat... activate Alpha-5 command"

Another 25 black Is fanned out as they flew around the blond.

"[Amidamaru]..." Cloud muttered as his sword began to glow-"[Harusame]!"

A new wave of bullets headed towards the blond, who only focused more energy on his sword and made a vertical cut.

"It's useless" - Autumn snorted seeing how a barrier covered the boy's body, only to notice something strange - "Total absorption?"

"Counter!" Cloud roared as his barrier glowed brighter, only for after a few seconds, a large number of bullets were fired towards the black IS.

"!" - Autumn was surprised to see the situation but quickly calmed down - "Interesting... an ability capable of absorbing and returning enemy attacks... now I wonder how many more times you can perform such a technique..."

Autumn wasn't worried about the loss of 75 automated IS, after all, she still had 225 more left.

"Enough to destroy all your toys" - Cloud said with a slight exhaustion. He had to admit that using so much Mana at once had made his body react badly.

"I guess when this is all over, I'm going to have to train my Mana control…" the boy thought when he saw that he had been condescending to his thoughts. Cloud was sure that this world wouldn't have a problem with just his base Stats, but now that he was facing opponents that were much more troublesome than zombies, he discovered the importance of Active Skills as well as skill control. energy from him.

Autumn sent out another 25 automated ISs in order to discover other abilities of Cloud so she could ensure a precise and deadly hit. She would not charge at an enemy with unknown abilities.

The 25 Is were divided into 5 groups of 5 and positioned at different angles to the blond, who could only click his tongue while using his Mana to increase the speed of his movements.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of a group of IS and began to destroy them, only to back away at high speed as he noticed that the other groups of IS were already behind him.

"We were analyzing the few skills you showed, especially your speed when you fought Hamilton" - Autumn said calmly - "It was difficult but we managed to modify the Auto-IS to be able to analyze your movements and thus adapt to your speed in order to react more quickly. precision and from what I see, it has given good results"

Cloud clicked his tongue because he again cursed the fact that he had been so proud. He wasn't fighting mindless beings now, but humans and now she was paying the price for his condescension.

[Sir…I found out some information about those IS…they aren't as fast as you, it's just that they have a hive CPU that makes it easy to predict their movements]

"Hive? Can they predict my movements because they can see them from different angles making calculations easier?" Cloud asked as he frowned. If this was true, then things were much more complicated than he thought.

[Indeed... they can calculate their movements at great speed since each one of those IS is sending different information]

"I see you noticed"-Autumn said as she looked at the blonde-"Our scientists had to work tirelessly to achieve it, but it was worth it"

Cloud looked up as he narrowed his eyes, "If they can predict my movements...then I just need to move faster and more erratically..."

Cloud focused all of his mana on his legs as he started to speed up again.

Autumn quickly backed away as 10 black IS moved in front of her, only to see them speed down.

"Tch"-Cloud clicked his tongue as he moved to the side to dodge [Silver Gospel's] attack-"I guess you're going to join the party now"

". . ." -the silver IS responded with silence as his wings began to glow an intense platinum white.

"Speechless? Right... you're an AI" Cloud said as he began to fly at full speed to dodge the energy shots from [Silver Gospel] as well as the Auto-IS.

[Sir... that offends me... I am an AI and can converse to the point of having a civilized chat with different information topics]

"I know, Raiden... that's why you're the most advanced AI in the world"-the blonde answered as he made an evasive maneuver and moved at full speed against a group of Auto-IS in order to destroy them and make it a little easier the situation.

"He has managed to destroy 102 Auto-IS out of my 300…" Autumn muttered as she shook her head "Why am I thinking so many stupid things and attacking with such a small number? All forces, prepare to start the attack!" attack!"

"!" - Cloud's eyes widened as he saw a large number of black IS coming towards him.

This was the difference between fighting a flesh and blood villain, and watching a fight on television. Real villains aren't going to send their henchmen one after another to make life easier for the hero, they'll send all their forces to annihilate anyone who dares oppose their wishes.

[Silver Gospel] quickly appeared in front of the blonde and unfolded it's energy wings.

"Shit!" Cloud exclaimed when he noticed this. "[Harusame]!"

Cloud quickly blocked all of the attacks and returned them, only to start breathing raggedly.

"Impressive... how many was it this time? 50? 80 maybe?" Autumn asked as she watched her Is fall into the sea unconcernedly. "Too bad the attack was useless against [Silver Gospel]."

". . ." -Cloud was silent as he watched as the silver IS began to absorb the Sunlight to recover the Shield from him at high speed.

[Sir…you managed to destroy another 100 Auto-IS but your energy meter is entering critical levels…according to my calculations, you will only be able to perform one more [Harusame] before falling unconscious from the massive energy consumption. Energy]

". . ." Cloud kept his silence from him as he breathed raggedly.

"180 Auto-IS destroyed... not bad..." Autumn said as she let out a laugh, "Too bad me, [Silver Gospel] and 120 other Auto-IS are still in a position to destroy you~"

"And I still have the strength to continue fighting" - the blonde smiled - "Not to mention that I'm not fighting alone"

"?" - Autumn tilted her head in confusion, only to widen her eyes in surprise when she saw how Ichika and the others were approaching at full speed - "I see... it's not a bad move, I guess I made a mistake playing with you instead. to kill you quick and easy"

Cloud smiled when he heard this but he did not stop dodging the attacks of his enemies until he saw how some of them began to fall due to the ranged attacks of Charlotte, Cecilia and Laura.

"I swear to God we're going to talk after this"-said the girl from France while she sent him a direct voice message-"How come you can think of doing such a stupid thing?"

"Because I'm aware that if I didn't take the risk, then things would be much more complicated"-Cloud replied seriously as he saw how the Auto-IS began to mobilize again.

"I guess we arrived on time"-Ichika said as he looked at his exhausted friend with surprise.

"A few minutes earlier wouldn't have been bad"-muttered the blonde as he wiped the sweat from his forehead-"Although I appreciate his arrival"

"Are you okay?" Houki asked with concern.

"Just a little exhausted"-replied the boy as he shook his head.
