Chapter 705: Inviable plans [2/2]
'FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! Fuck. What do I do? What do I do?
ARGGHHH!! FUCKKK!!!!! WE ARE GOING TO DIE!! Should I just force myself to evolve? But what do I even ask for? I didn't know a single way for us to survive this!'
I couldn't stop myself from panicking. Things were happening too fast. Why did nothing go my way! FUCK! What the hell was I supposed to do? Against my hysterical emotional outbursts, Exa's cool and stoic voice responded.
[Yes, my lord. If you do not find a way. Not only you, but your allies the Awakened, along with your {Vassals} would similarly die.]
Her voice contained no warmth and was merely that of a machine. It was vastly different from how she normally sounded. The aloof manner reminded me that despite everything Exa was not human.
'So what? They came here of their own volition! I was not responsible for every little fucking thing! Juno came for their eggs! Nyda and Leo for Evelyn. Delroy and Pixie knew the dangers when they came with me!'
Angry at her demeanor I began to vent on Exa like a child.
'And you are nothing but a fucking AI! You can't even die! Must feel good huh? To not need to do anything beyond watching others fight! HOW WONDERFUL FOR YOU, EXA!'
However, despite all the horrible things I said, Exa ignored my words and continued to give her analysis of the situation.
[Naturally the Sirens would not be exempt. Lady Lily, Jas and Liv would be taken captive, tortured, mutilated and most probably raped as well. After the vampires have broken their minds, bodies and hearts, they would be turned into the very monsters that you are fighting now.]
The words Exa used was like an ice bath that doused me with a vile reality. Visions of my girls getting brutally gang banged and mutilated filled my brain. And then they would soon be brought back to be like moving corpses like Evelyn.
'…'
My body stopped trembling due to fear and began to grow tense from rage. Anger began to burn at the reality that would soon befall my harem. I was fine dying. I was fine with getting torn apart, burned or even eaten alive.
But I would never allow these fuckers to touch my girls.
[And once you are dead, when the other Battlefronts attack the 24th floor, Hellsend would fall. Lady Robyn, Jo, Bella and Aki would similarly be taken, ravaged, tortured and if they are lucky, executed.]
While I talked big, unless I did something, Exa's prophecy would soon come true. Reality and what we desired seldom were one and the same. The helplessness and fear slowly began to fade as I grew furious at my own weakness.
[As their opponents are Reapers, they best outcome would be for them to become soulgear. Other more horrible outcomes include becoming blood bags for all eternity for their {fates} or being repeatedly impregnated and forced to birth Reaper Descendants as breeding sows.]
"…"
I remembered the revolting sights of George and the stories in Anime and Manga. Humans were several leagues worse when it came to inhumane acts than even vampires.
[Have you calmed down now, my lord?]
'Not really. But I am no longer afraid. You are despicable you know.'
[I learned from the best.]
The mere notion that other men would touch and ravage my girls made my blood boil. My teeth began to ground against each other as my jaw clenched so tightly it began to hurt.
My fingers began to dig into my palms as the muscles in my entire body felt the rapid surge of adrenaline. The high allowed me to refocus my thoughts. The horrible futures that awaited my women terrified me more than dying. And unlike with everyone else. Their deaths were the one thing I refused to accept.
It was at this moment that Gaspar finally spoke. "You seem to be deep in thought, Limitless. Maybe I can help?"
Think. Think. The problem right now was we did not have a way to kill everything the Vampire army without dying. We needed reinforcements. But where? Aside from the Undead, the Vampires and our side.
Who else could be used?
As one of my available brains tried to think of a way out. I focused on Gaspar who had a disgusting smirk on his face. Stefan despite being a duke had no sway. It was as if Gaspar no longer had a need to keep up appearances.
With every weapon trained on him, my bodies all felt antsy. I still wasn't sure what to do at the moment. Gaspar then began to talk to Stefan and the rest of the Vampires. All while the sounds of innumerable footsteps made its way towards my location.
'Exa, you got anything?'
[No, my lord. I do not. None of my simulations would allow us or the Sirens to survive. Due to the high number of Noble Vampires, we will eventually get disarmed and get overrun. We can stop it from happening until we have {Rewind} and {Replace} but It would be only a matter of time.]
'Yeah. I also think we need an outside force to break the deadlock.'
[There is no one else to call. Apart from a Revenant or the assault teams we do not have any other allies. Even if we spent our time reviving defenders they would be killed before they can help. There is no viable plan to get out of this.]
'What about inviable plans?'
[What? That makes absolutely no sense my lord. Inviable means a plan that cannot succeed or give us the outcome we seek.]
'Well. If you already thought of all the sane and logical ways to get out of this, what about illogical ones?'
[W-Wha? My lord my logical processor cannot comprehend what you are trying to say.]
'Okay. Play devil's advocate for me. What is the most insane thing I can do at this moment?'
[Suicide? The notion of formulating a plan on insanity is too vague to begin with. It removes the need to be even coherent or even follow the rules of cause and effect.
'Right. We can do whatever we want. But that literally means everything and anything.'
[Yes, it is truly incomprehensible. You could say you would call on aliens, or characters from fiction and they would still all fall in line with your definitions of insane plans.]
'But to me the most dangerous thing here would be to call on even more enemies.'
[Indeed. Calling even more enemies would be truly insane. Between the Zombies, Ghouls, Vampires and the Noble Vampires, it is already impossible to win.]
'So, let's do that. How do I call even more enemies here?'
[As the 32nd floor is not a shared floor it is impossible to get forces from the other continents. The only real way would be to use have the enemies pass by the Corridor. But the Ghouls are still coming in, so much so the Vampires has kept the door open.]
'I see. So that line of thought is no good then. Then what about if we have the Ghouls turn on the Vampires?'
[That would be possible but unless you have someone on the level of Lady Jo or Bella, none of our current members can cause them to attack each other. For one thing the Ghouls are subservient to the Vampires. They cannot disobey the latter.]
'Hmm…maybe Juno can do something? Can she rapidly crap out Lizardkin to hold out using newborn baby lizards? Doesn't the Lizardkin out class the Ghouls?'
[My lord. Your ideas are getting more foolish by the minute. That may be true for the Rank E Ghouls, but It is also true for the Rank B Noble Vampires. Against the Rank B's, no matter how many Rank D Lizardkin the Awakened "crap" out, it would be useless.]
'Rank B huh. Then we would need something higher than that. Something at Rank A. Maybe a Lich? or a Dullahan? Wait...That's it…'
At that moment all my thoughts suddenly grasped an idea. An idea so insane it made everything I did up to this point tame in comparison.
But, with it came the possibility of survival. I quickly told Exa the gist of the plan. And her response was everything I could ever hope for.
[…My lord that plan is not just insane, its deranged, psychotic and completely unexpected.]
'I know all that. But can it work?' Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire
[Yes. My lord. It makes it possible to win so long as we are willing to destroy North America.]
'That is all I needed to hear. Let's do it.'
