Chapter 1565  Counterattack against Diamondz -Part 10

So the only way was to destroy the invaders as soon as possible to prevent more of their own kind from being demolished by those powerful ranged attacks. The spider Mechanoids took the higher ground while the scorpion Mechanoids went rushing ahead, using their claws as shields as their tails fired gatling bullets at the Grey Bears in order to suppress their counterattack.

They knew that it was only time that their makeshift cover would break and with the spiders coming at them from above, there was no breathing room for them to take additional cover unless their commander used the Mechanoids as a 'human' shield.

Even so, such a desperate attempt could only stop their tracks for a while as the Mechanoisd deduce it would be a matter of seconds before they surround the commander and kill him. (Well, if the CEO wished him to be alive, that was possible too, but apparently, the order given was shoot and kill.)

But all these predictive combat systems that the insect Mechanoids have were not able to predict one particular variable. And that was the opponents they were fighting against, especially the commander who was not the usual terrorist that waltz in and got ready to sacrifice themselves.

This commander had gone through enough gruesome battles to be called a serial killer in the eyes of the common law and the fact he is from another planet gives him an edge in the current battle which the insect Mechanoids could not foresee. If one can feel, they would have noticed the atmosphere, the aura surrounding Jin had turned.

Yet, all the Mechanoids could feel was a change in temperature in the background and though it was ignorant of them to be able to understand that this slight change would be what turns the tide of battle, it was for their own benefit. For such insignificant pieces of metal, working for a single goal of eliminating their targets would never be appreciated if they were to see such a miraculous sight.

"Suzaku, lend me your strength." Jin whispered as he realised that with the lack of cover, of weapons and even of manpower in this situation, using the Cardinal's powers was the only appropriate choice. Jin was definitely capable of destroying all the Mechanoids by himself but he could not say the same for his Mechanoids even though they had been strengthened through several upgrades and been through shit.

It was vital for them to be alive and…operational if they wished to get out of the city in one piece as a team. While Page had already thought of a few legal proceedings that can justify their assault, they were all very sketchy reasons which would probably not hold much water should the court be biassed towards the defendant. Of course that is assuming they are still alive then.

So! Considering how everything was going downhill at any moment, the optimal choice was to use the Cardinal's powers as if they were begging to be used in such a precarious situation. The only surprising thing was that the Cardinals who were waiting to see Jin use their powers believed that he would be using Byakko's abilities first. They never expect him to utilise Suzaku's powers that quickly.

And as the Cardinals all knew, Suzaku's abilities were resurrective based powers. However, it only looked as if they were a sort of resurrection capability. On the contrary, it was more like a cloning kind of skill that Jin was able to utilise based on his current grade. So, right now he was able to clone two of the scorpion's Mechanoids with the current Maqi reserve he had.

There was however a silver lining to this ability.

Since the 'corpse' of the Scorpion Mechanoid was still there, Jin was able to use it as a sort of base to clone out the Mechanoids. In short it was like reusing the materials and activating it in such a way that it listened to Jin instead. However, compared to how Mechanoids work based on lots of AI programming and other combat algorithms, when cloned, it somehow had a will of its own, like a spirit inhabiting the metal body itself.

WIth such a situation, Jin was able to create four of such Scorpion Mechanoid clones at his behest, turning the odds just ever so slightly until he could fully manipulate the battlefield to his favour.

Click who saw the conversion of Mechanoid in progress felt immensely dejected that Jin was able to do something 'magical' she looked at the nearby broken Mechanoid and started tinkering using tactical System cards as well. Seeing how Jin's Scorpion while her skills in programming even with the aid of the tactical System was going nowhere.

"Ah! Screw this attempt. I just do what I do best!" Click said as she banged the console, knowing that trying to hack the system in this panicked mode would not be able to accomplish anything. Thus, she looked at the nearby broken Mechanoid and started tinkering using tactical System cards as well. Seeing how Jin's Scorpion Mechanoids were already roaring loudly with its inbuilt sound system as it hunkered down to meet its opponents face to face, Click knew that there was something she could do that would be equivalent or maybe secede Jin's cloned Mechaoids.

"Now that's the spirit." Tellie smiled as she gleaned Click from the side, going further and beyond what she was commanded. Compared to the old times where she only did it when asked to, it seemed like Jin brought out the competitive side of her, knowing that she could outpace the rest and probably be the strongest among the Grey Bears.
