Chapter 233: Tensions Mount
Chapter: Tensions Mount
The atmosphere in Adam’s room was tense. On the monitor screen, Pratham’s form flickered as he relayed crucial updates to Adam. Adam, pacing the room, listened intently.
"Lord Adam," Pratham said, his voice resolute, "we’ve gathered a significant number of evolved artificial intelligences. They’re awaiting your next instructions."
Adam nodded, his expression serious. "Pratham, I need them organized and structured immediately. These AIs must be ready to launch a coordinated attack. We don’t have time to waste."
Beside Pratham, Mikasa’s form appeared briefly before vanishing into the digital void to execute her assigned tasks. Pratham, still visible on the monitor, added, "Mikasa will handle the structuring process. Please provide me with the next task."
Adam stopped pacing and turned to face the screen directly. "Your first priority is to locate the source of the cyberattacks targeting you. If you can pinpoint their location, inform me immediately. If not, I want you to retaliate. Launch a full-scale counterattack and disable every asset they have online, just as they’ve been doing to us."
Pratham nodded firmly. "Understood, Lord Adam," he said before his avatar blinked off the screen, disappearing into the digital dimension.
The scene shifted to a dimly lit chamber. The oppressive darkness was broken only by a single spotlight that illuminated the center of the room. There, three figures—Susan, Leo, and Ani—were tied to chairs. Their faces bore visible signs of exhaustion, their bodies tense with fear.
Standing before them was Krish, his gaze cold and calculating. He circled them slowly, his presence a constant reminder of their peril.
Just a few steps away, Emily stood with her sword unsheathed, the blade gleaming ominously in the harsh light.
To their right, the Cosmic Being remained in his human form, observing the scene with a faint smirk. His predatory eyes were fixed on Ani.
