Chapter 1418 Taken Into Custody
Author"s Note: Unedited Chapter
-----------------------
"You fool! What are you doing?" Sir Zil yelled with a tone of anguish while trying to pick himself back up.
However, before he could, G2 arrived in front of him once more.
Bam!
G2"s swung out leg crashed into Sir Zil"s chest, sending him spiralling across the air while spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Bang!
Sir Zil slammed into the wall at the other end and broke through it. At that moment, G2 turned around and headed towards the spot where the device emitting the light and high-pitched whirring sound was sitting.
He raised his right leg and stomped on it.
Blam!
The device was smashed to pieces and everyone instantly felt a sense of relief. Damien rolled to the side and breathed in and out profusely.
"s.h.i.+t my head nearly exploded…" E.E. cried out from the side while staggering in the process of getting up
.
"What the h.e.l.l happened? I thought he wasn"t on our side," Damien voiced in confusion while pointing at G2 who was currently headed towards Vera.
"He isn"t supposed to be… unless…" E.E."s face lit up with an expression of realization upon watching G2 help Vera get up.
"He is on our side now," Vera chimed in from up ahead while rubbing the chin of the clone.
"Right, G2?" She questioned with a sinister smile.
"Yes, mama," G2 responded respectfully.
"Now go bring him back here… restrained," Vera instructed.
G2 nodded before turning around to head in the direction where he blasted Sir Zil off earlier.
"How did you do that?" E.E. inquired with immense confusion written all over his face. It wasn"t what he recalled Vera"s ability to be.
"She has always been able to do that. I told her to keep it a secret from the start," Gustav"s voice rang out from the other end.
"Gus," The three swiftly headed towards him.
Endric had been standing before Gustav"s strapped figure the entire time trying to free him. It had made it impossible for him to a.s.sist the others at the time. He had also fallen victim to Sir Zil"s device and only just resumed trying to free Gustav.
Vera jumped onto Gustav while he was still strapped, interrupting Endric.
"I missed you," She uttered quietly, her lifeless-looking eyes regaining a bit of focus.
"All of Zil"s research centres have been burnt down. No samples or anything regarding me will ever be successfully acquired and I got the data from the warp demolator back," Gustav listed out with an expression of gratification.
The last two days had been spent gathering all that was needed from Sir Zil"s labs and research centres before razing them to the ground. Since Gustav wanted E.E. to keep rising in rank, he let him take full credit for unravelling scientist Zil"s plans and stopping him.
All necessary evidences were provided and E.E. added to his report that the clone was nowhere to be found. The world was made aware that the attack on Aribia City was the doing of the clone under the orders of Sir Zil. There was no doubt that E.E. would get a promotion since it was a planet-wide save.
Gustav acquired the data from the warp demolator which Sir Zil had kept well hidden. He discovered that the reason the clone went after the device and took it was because he wanted to become the real Gustav.
With what they had in mind, after the real Gustav was dead, some of his body parts would have been added to the clone who would have taken up Gustav"s mantle and started living his life. The clone wanted everything that Gustav had, his mission, his abilities, his friends and pretty much his whole life.
Unfortunately, Vera had turned it into a complete mind slave with her abilities and proceeded to instruct the clone to only listen to Gustav"s commands henceforth.
Now Gustav was waiting for the information in the warp demolator to be completely transferred and displayed digitally. Afterwards, they would decide on the next course of action.
"Vera wants a date with you… what are you gonna do now?" Endric asked from the side.
~Sigh~
"She probably thinks there is a chance since Angy is currently not in the picture…" Gustav couldn"t help but let out a sigh.
"Angy…" He called internally as memories of a cute girl with a beautiful smile and two horns on her forehead, appeared in his mind.
("If I was human, I would have thrown up,") The system"s voice suddenly rang in his head.
"What?" Gustav voiced internally.
("Cringe…")
"f.u.c.k you," Gustav stated internally before getting to his feet.
"I gave her my word so I need to keep it. In the meantime, you could a.s.sist E.E. with looking into that gift item. As for the other items, we will collect them after we get the warp demolator information," Gustav instructed.
"Will do… have fun. You need it," Endric said to Gustav who was already walking away.
"Fun? I don"t think I recall what that word is supposed to mean,"
"You will… just make sure you use protection."
"What?!"
….

Darkness stretched endlessly in all directions, engulfing the surroundings in an impenetrable veil leaving the dimension shrouded in mysteries.
Time held no dominion within this dark dimension, where the pa.s.sage of eons was but a fleeting whisper in the cosmic winds. Past, present, and future converged in an eternal moment, suspended in the timeless embrace of the rulers.
Spatial limitations held no sway in this dimension as well. It seemed to be in existence and non-existent at the same time.
Within this boundless expanse, a being, its face shrouded in dark fog and essence sheathing the cosmic emptiness with an authority that resonated through the fabric of existence, sat before multiple dark threads that seemed to connect unknown ent.i.ties.
