Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 1031: In chaos [2/2]
If I had a way to keep my family safe, I wouldn't give two shits about what happened to the rest of Africa. And this fact was something I have to never forget. I was no hero. I was and am just a Reaper who wants my loved ones to be safe. That was my one and only motivation.
"You all have your orders. I want Africa in chaos by this time tomorrow morning. Murder every single target. Do not show any mercy. It's time to show the world what we can do."
"YES! MY LORD!" the room shouted.
"All teams! Prepare for dispatch! Exa, start a countdown for 10 minutes!" Bella declared.
Immediately after, thousands of screens began to appear in thin air. It was similar to having thousands of web browsers open at the same time; only they were floating around us. The contents of each window were naturally the targets for assassination.
Each target was monitored without her notice. I wasn't sure how Bella managed to do so, but the feeds came from everything. Phones, street cameras, satellites, ATM machines; it sent a chill up my spine. If on Hellsgate, Bella was weak. On Earth, she was near omnipresent.
I didn't know if the Africans could see them, but knowing my Honey's personality it was highly likely. A large timer appeared on the board the Sirens used as a screen yesterday. It began counting down with audible clicks.
"All target positions confirmed. Phase one will begin in T-minus nine minutes! Bring down the gate!"
At Bella's call, a loud crash echoed. Out of thin air, a large futuristic contraption appeared. It had the appearance of a revolving doorway. Only it wasn't connected to any building. This piece of tech was going to be one of the cornerstones of our power.
"All teams, from this point on I will serve as the ground commander. The Awakened will answer to call sign Bravo. The Seraphs, call sign Charlie. The Wolves, call sign Delta. The Soulless will be called Echo. The Sirens and I will be designated as Alpha. Clear?"
At Lilly's arrogant shout, all our teams answered with a simple, "YES MA'AM!"
Her eyes then turned orange as Lilly let loose her domain. Its tyrannical pressure made the entire venue creak. But that was not what was important. What did was the fact that the large gem-like things on the revolving door began to light up.
[Everyone. The Gate of Irkalla is now charging. Ishtar's bloodline and Minerva's wizards are tuning the coordinates. Target acquisition will be completed in 600 seconds.]
"Okay! Alpha set loose the dogs of war!" Bella shouted excitedly.
"{PORTAL}!" x5
The five other Sirens raised their hands, and each of them opened a {Portal}. From the void doorways, the soulless began to pour out: MAARs, Ripsaw M5s, Aegis Division members, and Challengers MBTs.
Switchblades and Mangustas similarly came out and climbed upward. As the theater had no ceiling, they had no issue loitering in the skies. The attack choppers took position and hovered above in the vast open space above us.
In the same moment, the three squads began to arm themselves. The leaders of each group, Yvonne, Roach, Juno, Mike, Isolde, Joshua, and Warren, began relaying instructions to their people. The Sirens similarly began splitting the soulless into makeshift groups.
Each group lined up in an orderly fashion. It was as if they were students on a high school field trip preparing to board a bus. Only the firearms they carried would lead you to think otherwise.
[Attention. The Gate of Irkalla is now primed. Attack squads can now begin rapid deployment.]
Lilly raised her hands into the air as she roared with a loud voice!
"Alright everyone! Remember your training, {Rewind} if you are in danger. But you must not fail. Kill your target no matter the cost. Do I make myself clear?"
"YES! M'AM!" answered everyone just as intensely.
"All teams, save!" Lilly commanded.
Tens of voices all called the name of {Fate}, "{SAVE}!"
It was only during moments like these that it began to dawn on me that this force was mine. This army, which I now commanded, all had my {Fate}. Meaning, much like me, they were extremely hard to kill and were nearly immortal.
The timer struck 0, and a loud klaxon began blaring from somewhere. Given its imposing and flashy nature, the girls must have added all the effects to enhance the mood. Bella, who had a large smile on, shouted in excitement.
"OPERATION SHATTERED SILENCE START! ALL TEAMS BEGIN THE ASSAULT!"
The revolving doors of the Gate of Irkalla began to spin. As they did, the entire thing began to show an orange glow. When it did, Lilly nodded and raised her fist before cutting the air with her arm. The grace of a queen radiated from her.
"All right, let us begin, Target 345. Exa!"
[Target 345: Kwame Zuberi, human, corrupt business tycoon. Location: The Sapphire Oasis Hotel, floor 26, room 08, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. Target is having breakfast by the window.]
"Okay, let us start with Echo first. Sabel!"
[Yes, Aunt Lilly! Echo 51! Inbound!]
At Sabel's confirmation, a Switchblade 300 began to fall from the sky. It moved directly into the Gate of Irkalla and disappeared.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw one of the windows Bella had open suddenly go black.
Of course, I knew what was on it before it did. An obese African was drinking coffee as he looked at his computer. A second later, a Switchblade came for him from outside the window. Without even time to scream, an explosion took out the CCTV Bella tapped into.
[Target 345: Kwame Zuberi, target elimination confirmed.]
Bella opened a screen and played it out loud. It was a news program for Nigeria. The news anchor touched his ear and suddenly began to change the topic.
[Good morning, Nigeria. We interrupt our regular programming to bring you breaking news. In a shocking turn of events, we have just received reports of an explosion at one of the country's most prestigious hotels. The Sapphire Oasis Hotel in Victoria Island…]
As I watched, the new program's feed suddenly changed. Bella, seemingly bored, began to surf the channels available on Nigerian cable.
"Exa, Target 288," Lilly called out.
[Target 288: Jabari Dlamini, human arms dealer. Location: The Ghost Market, outskirts of Lusaka, Zambia. The target is facilitating an arms deal to General Rasheed Abdu. There is a large number of soldiers escorting General Rasheed.]
"Okay, Bravo, you're up. Kill everyone present."
"YES!!!" Roach roared excitedly as his tail began flailing all over the place. He and all the Vithriss with him began walking to the revolving doors. Less than a second later, they all disappeared.
I scanned the open windows, searching for the one that monitored Target 288. I found it and saw the absolute carnage that followed. Jabari Dlamini was already dead. Roach blew him apart with his FT-5. Roach and his harem were now massacring the humans.
The Vithriss danced like swallows and shot and stabbed the Africans dead. Funnily enough, they even had a tank. A Soviet-era T-72B3. But rather than help them, it turned on them and shot the general's forces.
"Exa, next target."
[Target 302: Niazi Okoro, human, corrupt lawyer. Location: Route de l'Atlantique, between Dakar and the northern coastal region of Senegal. Target is driving to defend a rich, convicted pedophile. His car is a Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC.]
"Oh my, such an expensive and top-of-the-line car. Doesn't the EQS have Level 3 autonomous driving?"
[Yes, my lady, it does.]
"How ironic, he will die by a vehicle he should not have had the money to buy. Exa, be a sweetheart and handle it. And get me a next target." freёweɓnovel.com
[Done. Next target is…]
As Exa spoke, I saw one of the windows show a car jumping over a cliff.
"…"
This is without a doubt going to be a day that Africa will never forget.
