Chapter 204: Highest Tier Orb

Chapter 204: Highest Tier Orb

Where is the body? Adam asked as soon as they stepped into the jet plane. Miles and Merlin looked at each other, then Adams wrist. Adam understood what they meant and shrugged his shoulders. Everybody knows by now that the body is in our hands. If it doesnt appear in headquarters, it only means it is in the mansion. So there is no point in hiding.

Miles thought and agreed with Adams insights, so he opened his mouth to explain, We let one of the soldiers return to the mansion before entering the portal world from there. When he leaves with the body it will be in the mansion. But we dont know if the device allows the body. If not, Helez will take it to a safe location in the portal world where we build a lab.

Sounds good. Adam nodded then asked, What did you find in the AI Necklace?

The race is called Apollo. They are aware of our existence and the arena where the Graders Competition is held is where their AIs creators used to live. That AI is aware of its working but it is not the real system, just familiar with it, so it was able to close it for good.

I dont know if they were aiming to claim the weapons for themselves, or were they just coming after humans to declare war, as they said it, or maybe both targets happened to be at the same place at the same time. There wasn't much information I could gather before it got self-destructed, so that is all I know. Miles explained as much as he could without raising any suspicions. He would like to tell more, but then he would be revealing Coins capabilities, which would aggro all families and Mother AI herself. He could only lie.

We know close to nothing. Hopefully, by inspecting the body, we can figure out more. Adam thought for a while and asked Merlin, What do you think of the race?

They are crazy war seekers. They live and die for battle, and are stronger than humans by several notches. The aliens I saw in space were able to fly through special suits and can thrust themselves in the void, so technically they are more advanced technologically. Physically stronger as well. I dont know if they have any weaknesses. Merlin answered depressedly.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

There is no perfect life form. There must be some sort of weakness. Adam shook his head in pondering.

Why do you think billions of walking dead and mutated animals never set a foot into Unity? Merlin looked at Miles with an amused smile. Building a wall took years even with all the technological developments. Walls alone wouldnt be enough to keep those brain hunters out.

It is not a big secret so it wouldnt harm to say. When Mother AI first descended, she brought out an orb with her. Thanks to that orb we were able to keep unwanteds from entering our territory. Otherwise, we wouldnt be able to build the wall, nor could we keep humanity safe.

The orb was B-Tier. No human ever entered the B-Circle. Can you understand the notion? The orb is the strongest orb humanity has ever seen. Adam started to explain.

What is the orb? Miles couldnt help but ask.

It was a barrier orb that could cover all unity. Of course, higher-tier orbs cannot be used on a whim, neither could Mother AI use it. At the time, hundreds of thousands of people put all of their energies into keeping it activated. While sis and I were working on a system to help the soldiers. After all, at the time, the highest hunters were only F-Tier, and couldnt use energy efficiently at all. We also had to build a stronger power system for Mother AI so she could supply the orb.

As sis and I discovered a device that can store energy for a limited time, soldiers also ranked up and leveled up to new tiers. Adam explained but was to be cut off by Miles.

Where is that orb then? Miles asked with his mouth wide open. This was the first time he heard this thing.

Of course under the headquarters. The barrier surrounds Unity like a giant shield. It is as strong as a B-Tier monster. After raising the walls, we started to use the barrier less and less, but in case of emergency, we can still raise it to protect all Unity. And let me tell you this, A B-Tier monster can flatten a country with one attack. So it doesn't matter what kind of weapons aliens bring out, it will not be able to damage the shield at all. Only their warriors can damage us if they have warriors stronger than C-Tier.
