Chapter 784: Chapter 650: Restrictive Measures

Gazing out, the dark city once again lit up, as if the lifeless corpse had been reinvigorated with new life.

The streets and towers were illuminated by wall lamps, which turned out to be hidden light emitters in the paintings and decorations on the walls. They shone from various angles, making this ancient ruin incredibly dazzling and bright.

Farosa had originally thought that the Old Ones were a technical race that lacked any sense of entertainment, but now she realized she had been greatly mistaken, as the glowing lights and colors throughout the city represented their highly refined artistic accomplishments.

The melted water brought electricity, turning the streets into golden milky ways and the walls into silvery holy barriers. The technology museum at the central pinnacle was blazingly lit, making the entire city as bright as day.

By comparison, even the markers set by Lila seemed to lose their luster.

The female Old One silently contemplated all this before her, standing taller, with skin finer than humans and more developed organs, allowing her to capture more detailed light and shadow than humans could.

To humans, the city’s radiance was so overwhelming it was like the dazzling sun, overshadowing many details. But to the Old Ones, the city was a unified whole, with vibrant and brilliant colors everywhere.

The splendor before their eyes, the brilliant light—streets as lines, light and shadow as paint—was the culmination of the Old Ones’ urban planning and artistic taste.

"It’s beautiful...’" said the female Old One with a smile, turning to Farosa as if seeking praise for the Old Ones’ city.

Farosa raised her hand towards her.

"Boom." said Farosa.

The female Old One’s body exploded into pieces, spraying backward.

Upon close contact with the Law of Slaughter, she shattered from head to toe into tens of thousands of tiny fragments.

Bones, skin, muscles, organs, glands—all were torn apart and scattered, her blood covering the ground, while her Black Bow and black arrows still lay intact on the ground.

Lila, hearing the noise, was shocked.

"What are you doing, Farosa!" Lila’s drone swiftly turned around, shining its camera on the bloody scene below.

The female Old One had become a horrifying, nearly bleeding-out carcass piece, like the discarded offcuts of slaughtered livestock thrown carelessly on the ground.

"This is the fate that should come after the extinction of an entire race," said Farosa emotionlessly.

"Bring her back to life, or you’ll regret it." Lila threatened.

Farosa looked down in silence.

The shattered body parts and blood on the ground began to wriggle slightly and stick together on their own.

"Is this part of your power?" Lila observed.

"No, this isn’t mine. This is some kind of rebirth rule; she was killed and then reborn, fascinating...you should film this first." Farosa’s expression remained unchanged.

Lila realized Farosa hadn’t taken a breath for quite a while.

The drone’s flash brightened for a moment, capturing and recording the gruesome scene in full detail.

Then Farosa raised her hand and released the Law of Recovery.

With a flash of red light, the female Old One’s carcass vanished, replaced by her complete figure. Each piece seemed to return precisely to its original place before she was torn apart.

The female Old One panic-strickenly pressed her body and repeatedly patted herself, as if to confirm the events that had just happened.

Fear filled her eyes, showing extreme astonishment.

Farosa’s figure then vanished in an instant, disappearing from the site without a trace.

Lila, not understanding the Secret Script, couldn’t communicate and could only coordinate with soldiers to take down the female Old One from a distance using tranquilizer sniper rifles.

Takahashi Kyoko, the Dominator Witch standing at the rear, stood dumbly at the intersection.

Upon receiving the order, Takahashi Kyoko adjusted her sniper rifle SN99 "Supreme," ejecting the live round and loading a nanobot tranquilizer dart.

Unlike the traditional tranquilizers that required controlled dosage and had a short range, nanobot tranquilizer darts aimed to penetrate the target’s skin and then inject a large number of nanobots carrying the tranquilizer into the wound, causing them to invade the bloodstream and release the tranquilizer. Moreover, the nanobots would then continue to reside within the target, monitoring their health.

Takahashi Kyoko’s mind had been worn down by the company’s domestication, leaving only basic cognitive abilities, and she paid no attention to Farosa’s miracles. Lila valued her presence highly.

The female Old One was very sensitive, but Takahashi Kyoko was 3 kilometers away, and at such a distance, she couldn’t detect a sniper rifle aiming at her at all.

"Ao..." the female Old One attempted to negotiate with Lila’s drone.

Takahashi Kyoko pulled the trigger.

Whoosh—

After being hit, the female Old One appeared exceptionally angry, but then she looked down due to the pain and noticed a web-like wound on her right rib.

From the wound, a faint stain of blood seeped out, but in an instant, her pain was blocked and her nerve center weakened more and more.

Then she collapsed heavily to the ground, falling forward.

"Take her back to Nestor Headquarters," Lila’s drone commanded.

"Let’s go!"

"Prepare the medical bag!"

"Move quickly, clear the road!"

"Tell Team 2 to make space on the transport!" The secret operative team began to act, seizing the Old One, who now had the highest strategic value alive, and loading her into a large containment device before taking her away in the Shuttle Machine.

Seeing the female Old One captured without resistance and transported away like cargo, those who came to execute the recovery mission were also struck with a mixture of surprise and sympathy.

If humans were to face extinction, their last one would likely meet a similar fate, captured by another intelligent life-form as material and spoils of war.

Lila’s attention, however, was caught by the nanobot tranquilizer dart—an innovative weapon with great potential. If developed properly, it might even be used to restrict Farosa’s movements.
