Chapter 908: Chapter 732 A Laughing Star_2

They reached the upper levels of the laboratory, only to find that all the terminals here had been hacked and taken over.

The screens were flickering with yellow bean smiling faces, some even sweating, as if mocking their futile efforts.

"The hacker stole the data, and the unidentified intruder took a lot of intelligence, but these file cabinets still contain bits and pieces of information." 101 went to the archives and took out part of the report on the Children of Phantom Light project.

"I don’t like this place..." 102 said sadly.

"It’s over now." 101 comforted 102.

Although she said that, with the theft of the intelligence, other organizations would likely continue to create new Witches, dragging more lives into this terrible cycle.

Once such technology was invented, it was bound to be coveted by all parties.

They scoured the Xisong City Laboratory clean, sealing away all remaining information, intelligence, and equipment, waiting for Nestor Corporation personnel to arrive and take over.

With the collapse of Black Fire Innovation, Nestor Corporation moved quickly to occupy several corporate cities, seizing and controlling the rich oil, rubber, and metal resources of the Taiya Archipelago through funds or force, acquiring the technology and military forces left by Black Fire Innovation, while quickly suppressing the chaos erupting in various cities.

After a final pilgrimage to their birthplace, 101 and 102 left to return to their work of overseeing the Taiya Archipelago.

They tried hard not to think about all these nightmares.

...

Meanwhile, in the Near East Region, Spice Bay. This bay is famous for its rich spice mines, surrounded by luxurious cities prospering due to the dense spice plants.

At the famous landmark, the Khalifa Spire, a hacker is archiving and uploading the intelligence stolen from the Xisong City Laboratory, transferring the production technology of the Children of Phantom Light to the "Covenant" Infinite network system, making it one more piece in the vast information database.

Since its inception, the Covenant system has been receiving a tremendous volume of knowledge, intelligence, and archives. The information collected by the hacker was just a drop in the ocean for the Covenant.

The system is so powerful and complete that even if humanity were to be wiped out, it could recreate a civilization with power comparable to the original.

"Good job, Laughing Star!" the electronic pet kitten on the desk meowed at the hacker.

"That’s right!" Laughing Star snapped her fingers at the kitten, "Everything falls into place."

Laughing Star, adept at clearing one enemy after another, retrieving one data segment after another.

The beacon flickers in the top right corner of the terminal panel, a message from Rubazio, the CEO of Shimizu Research Company.

"Let’s check the status of the Cyber Specter analysis," Rubazio said.

"Yes!" Laughing Star nonchalantly sent a document through Digital Mind, "Everything will be sorted out, I’m slowly tracing its mode of operation, then I’ll cover its operational traces, confine its range of activity, and trap it in a small place on the Hot Tree Continent."

She has shiny pink hair with emerald green highlights in her bangs, her mid-length hair done up in two buns behind her head, looking quite cute, with an attractive appearance, dressed in a black camisole dress, and a hexagram silver necklace around her neck.

"You mentioned in the materials that you can defeat the Cyber Specter?" Rubazio asked with a hint of mirth in his tone.

"Yes, and thanks to the quantum computer you provided, the Cyber Specter in a place like the Hot Tree Continent without one is really powerless." Laughing Star said with ease.

"If hunting this prey doesn’t tire you out, we plan to have you directly attack Jialong Slope or the Helis Sea in Shangjing," Rubazio said.

"Do you need to personally ask about this kind of thing? I’ll have a look if I have time; after all, that Miss ’Rinne’ in the control system isn’t so formidable," Laughing Star said in a pleasant voice.

"You’ve got a tough job! Remember, Nestor Corporation is the biggest threat, and Kanako Xisheng Company on Jialong Slope is also an eyesore." Rubazio bid farewell to Laughing Star as the channel disconnected from the link.

Laughing Star twirled around the room with ease, drew back the curtains to look out at the bustling modern city outside. The clustered buildings of Spice Bay gave her a sense of advancement.

"Sign contracts, renew long-term deals, make big money, begin... a corporate drone’s life!" She muttered to herself while injecting something into her hand, feeling a surge of energy, and then returned to the terminal in front of her, connecting to the quantum computer "Eden Garden" provided by Seven Seals, leaning forward.

"If Nestor Corporation also develops a quantum computer of the same level, that’ll be troublesome." The electronic pet cat reminded her.

"The intensity of offense and defense would rise exponentially then—ah, I’m looking forward to it. I’m just curious about the Cyber Specter—the Cyber Specter himself—is it a man or a woman? Or should I say Witch? Cyber Specter..." Laughing Star was not particularly alarmed by this prompt.

She gave the terminal a big smile. It’s still better to be happy in life.

...

Elsewhere, at the bottom of The Scar of the World.

Farosa stood alone at a spot seven kilometers above the Ground, holding a candle, standing near a pit shimmering with golden light.

"Speak to me, Golden Soul." Farosa said coldly.

"...Witch... Easter hurt me... First Shira, then Easter, and now you?"

"You led to the destruction of Zanges." Farosa looked towards the abyss where the gold aura was incredibly intense.

"I deceived him, I made him hear everyone’s voice... turned him into a tool... but I didn’t know... revenge would be so fierce."

"Seven Seals are our enemies, come and help me." Farosa said.

"Help? Help a Witch..."

"You are the Golden Giant God, together with Yan Duo you can stand against both the Death Giant God and the Ice Giant God. Defeat them, and then when you find your two other brothers, it’ll be time for the six brothers to return to the stars, to go back home." Farosa said.

"Your promise..."

"You can end this Frost Era, end the harvest of eternal winter and death upon the world. Rebuild an era belonging to blazing sun and gold. I remember your relationship with Yan Duo is still good, right?" Farosa said slowly.

"...Yan Duo... I’ll go find Yan Duo... Together with him, we’ll defeat the other two..." The Golden Soul succumbed to Farosa’s proposal.

"You’re wise. Maybe you can also help me find Shira’s legacy." Farosa said.

"...First is Easter... I hate Easter... but be careful, out in the cosmos... there is vast evil... You? Are you prepared? Oh Witch—"

"We’ll talk about that when the time comes." Farosa said calmly, "Let’s see if I can live until that day."

"You hold especially grand... aspirations..."

"I want all harmed, suffering witches to regain happiness, I want to have a wedding under the starry sky with my beloved." Farosa said.

"Very... impressive..."

"To achieve these two goals, I will stop at nothing." Farosa threw the candle into the abyss, along with a tear. Then she vanished into the darkness.

The Scar of the World returned to silence.
