Chapter 193 Clash in Shadows
Morey is still calm.
"It's fine, someone covers our back," said Morey with a smile.
A war is happening in the cyberworld.
A giant Polaris is wearing full body armor as she looks at an army.
"This is as far as you can go," said Polaris.
A man is standing on the head of a giant that has full body armor. He is the commander of the army. He sneers as he looks at Polaris, then he shouted.
"CHAAARGE!!!"
Polaris stretched her hand.
CYBERSHIELD
Multiple round shields appear in front of Polaris and block the attacks.
The shields rotate, then cannons start coming out from the center. Energy starts gathering on the cannons.
MEOW-MEOW CANNONS
Boom! The army that attacked is annihilated.
The commander is shocked, then his face turned fierce. He commanded the giant on his feet.
The giant flew to the shield as it stretched its right arm to the side. Data starts gathering on its left and right hands. A shield forms on its left hand, while a spear forms on its right hand.
Many shields in front of Polaris move closer and combined into a giant shield. The shield rotates as a giant cannon comes out. Huge energy gathers in the cannon.
The giant moved the shield to its front, then raised the spear above its head.
"BREAK!!!" shouted the commander as the giant threw the spear.
The huge cannon fires.
MEOW-MEOW CANNON: OMEGA
Oom! A huge beam moves toward the spear
Bang! The beam stopped the spear in the air, then the spear broke into pieces.
"Shit!" cursed the commander as the beam hit the shield.
Cracks appear on the shield, then it also broke into pieces.
"NOOO!!!" shouted the commander as the beam hit him and the giant. They turned into data and disappeared.
In a room with many computers and a huge hologram screen in the center, a man named Sven curses as he looks at his monitor.
The room is the command center of the Holtien family.
A man in his thirties is sitting on a chair. His name is Mason, son of Willem Holtien.
Mason looks at Sven.
"How's the result?"
Sven looks ugly and says,"We failed."
Mason frowns and says,"Why? It's just a small company. You even use some computing power from the AI."
Sven looks at his monitor and says,"I also thought that it would be like a walk in the park, but that small company has powerful cyber defense. I believe that a powerful AI is helping that company."
Mason is tapping his finger on his touch-screen table as he thinks.
"That country should not be capable of developing a powerful AI even if the families of that country got a share of the technology. We lose contact with our spies in those main families. That country should not be capable of doing them, but a powerful country could. Is that why that country and those families have guts?" thought Mason, then he sneered.
"If what I think is right, then they are stupid. They are being used to stop our plans, but whatever country is backing them, it doesn't want the fire to happen in their own house, so it chose a country as a place of battlefield."
Mason chuckles.
"I will do as they wish, but I will turn that country into tatters to serve as a warning," thought Mason as his eyes turned sharper.
Sven looks at Mason and said,"Sir, I can penetrate that defense if I can use a lot more computing power from the AI."
"There are important projects that are using a lot of the computing power of the AI. That company has a powerful defense, but it and other networking sites in that country are ants when it comes to information war," said Mason, then he looks at another staff.
"Is the smear tactic ready?" asked Mason.
"Sir, it already started," said the officer, then several screens float on the hologram screen. Some channels are talking about Bram.
A man named Larkson is talking.
"Good evening, world, and welcome to the show. Actually, I was planning to talk on another topic, but I just got an incredible news, and I want everyone to hear it. On another side of the world, a western man is accused of deliberately committing crimes to spread hatred on hyperbeings. It's incredible, right? But! Are the arm agencies accusing the man credible? Are the leaders of that country credible? People, judge it after listening to these," said Lakson as a news article appears on the screen.
"In the year 2026, a drunken hyperbeing showed off his power that resulted in the death of a civilian. After the investigation of the CIU and PHA, a hyperbeing was put behind bars. Guess what happened next? In the year 2028, the real criminal of the incident became known to the public because the enemies of his father running for office exposed it!
People,the arm agencies that covered the hyperbeing are the same agencies that are accusing our fellow man! Those dirty agencies and politicians are using our fellow man to cover their dirt! How can we allow this to happen?! Let us call our country's leaders to move and stop the madness in that country!!!"
Several stories about the corruption of politicians and officers are dug up and reported on various channels and quickly spread on the internet. Truth and falsehood are put together. The news guided the minds of the audience into anger, but smarter audiences tried to look for more information.
The next day, people are protesting on the streets.
Mason smirks as he watches the screens that report the protests in different countries.
The spokesperson of each country spoke and terminated the cooperation in several areas. They also demanded the confession be removed and the apologies of PHA and CIU. The people cheer.
In Malaca?ang Palace, President Agusto is meeting with his cabinet members.
"Sir, investors are coming out of the country, and local companies received notice that their contracts with foreign companies are terminated. The foreign companies are willing to pay for the penalty, but they said that it will take time before the companies can pay," said Alfonso, the secretary of trade and industry.
"They are really tricky. If we did not prepare for them, many companies will probably be bankrupt and our economy will be in tatters," said President Agusto, then he looks at one of his cabinet member named Arnel.
"How are our friends?"
Arnel smiles and says,
"They are ready to come in, sir."
