NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 295: The Elegy of Unit 9

"Don't try to stop me here!"

Like a mad lion, he controlled the HO fighter and switched it to maneuvering mode.

shuh~

A 5-meter long sword was held in the hand of the HO fighter.

He jumped high and chopped down hard at the shield in front of him.

The moment the shield dissipated, it gathered again.

He refused to believe in evil, and with an extremely ferocious look on his face, he continued to chop.

One knife, two knives...

I do not know how long it has been,

Click~

The long sword broke with a sound, turned into golden particles, and dissipated in the data space.

In reality, 9S's body also emitted a burst of electric sparks.

"Roar~~~"

He let out a roar that echoed through the air.

The HO fighter flew high up, then turned in the air with its nose pointing downward.

Start a high-speed dive.

Boom~

A violent explosion sounded, and the shield was shattered again.

9S was blown back and adjusted his body in the air.

Reaching out his hand, he touched a handful of golden blood.

suddenly,

He noticed that the shield generation rate had slowed down.

[Is it no longer possible?]

I am full of energy! 】

The HO fighter jet took off again.

This time it flew higher, then began to dive downward,

There was an explosion, and the shield shattered.

This time, the generation speed is much slower.

[It really works! ]

Come again!

The third time,

Fourth time,

the fifth time……

Golden particles were constantly sprinkled on his chest.

His whole body was glowing golden, like a warrior in golden armor.

After countless suicide attacks,

at last,

After the black shield was broken, there was no sign of movement.

9S drove the fighter plane and slowly floated over.

The aircraft has been severely damaged and the black box's energy has been overdrawn.

"So... it's... successful..."

With trembling hands, he slowly reached out to the golden ball of light in front of him.

Under its illumination, 9S felt a long-lost warmth.

It's so uh dazzling.

This is the golden light that symbolizes new life...

His trembling hands slowly approached the golden ball of light.

Suddenly, the changes escalated.

In an instant, a black protective shield appeared out of thin air, blocking his hands.

"Isn't it over yet?!"

He cried out weakly, almost falling asleep.

Jiejiejie~~~

As if to answer his question, the black shield began to tremble and emit bursts of laughter.

It seemed to be mocking his incompetence.

"You... fucking..."

9S gradually became angry and stepped back into the fighter plane.

With the last bit of strength left, he maneuvered the fighter plane into the air.

The HO fighter staggered and flew high into the sky.

fly

Keep flying

Until it touched the space barrier in the sky,

The fighter plane turned around, and its nose, flashing with cold light, gradually aimed at the core wrapped in a black shield on the ground.

Subsequently,

He pushed the afterburner lever weakly, and the tail of the fighter jet sprayed indigo flames, accelerating downward rapidly.

It fell from the sky at a speed approaching Mach 20.

He used all his strength to open his eyes wide and stared at the black spot that was getting closer and closer.

Getting closer,

Getting closer,

Vision becomes disturbed and the body's systems become disrupted.

It was about to hit the black shield.

suddenly,

The shield dissipated instantly, revealing a dazzling golden core.

Well?

As he dived at high speed, he felt a little strange.

Suddenly, he realized something terrible.

【not good!

IFF is down! 】

He quickly pulled back on the joystick.

The nose of the fighter plane slightly lifted up, and it passed at high speed along the outer layer of the golden core.

Finally it crashed into the ground with a loud explosion.

Thump~

9S was blown out and fell heavily to the ground.

hiss~

The bones in the body seemed to be broken.

He lay on the ground in despair, raised his head with great effort, and looked at the golden core that was so close before him.

He tried to move forward and stretched out his hand.

Wanting to touch the dazzling golden core,

At this time,

On the platform, a mass of black particles surged.

They gathered, transformed, and gradually formed a black figure whose face could not be seen clearly.

The black figure walked over leisurely with his hands behind his back, chuckling.

The shadow stopped beside the core.

"you……"

9S tried to question him, but he only heard an incomprehensible cry, and his throat was barely able to produce any sound.

"Hmph hum~~~"

The black figure sneered and pointed at 9S on the ground.

He pointed to the golden core again.

"What are you doing!?" he tried to say.

The black shadow raised his left hand high towards the core.

"don't want!?"

He roared, but made strange noises.

The dark shadow waved his hand.

As his eyes were pierced, the golden core was like a ball of glass.

It was smashed into pieces, turning into golden particles.

Floating and circling in the air.

"It failed..."

9S smiled bitterly, feeling hopeless.

anger?

despair?

Death threats?

now,

He no longer had the energy to feel any emotions. He was like a wooden man, his emotions had long been numb.

He supported himself on the ground with his right hand and moved vigorously, lying quietly on the ground in a more comfortable position, with his back against the steps where the golden ball of light was placed.

The golden particles formed a strip of light and flew past his eyes.

He was in a trance, with a smile on his face.

He saw the memory images played in the particles.

Miss Commander...

Miss Communications Officer...

Miss A2...

Miss 2B...

Myself……

……

Data space, broken like a mirror,

In reality, 9S's blood has already solidified.

Sparks flashed all over his body, and he leaned weakly against the cold server.

On the pure white floor were two auxiliary machines that had long since died.

153 and 042 were lying on the ground, face to face, their bodies had already exploded.

Two small robotic arms stretched out towards each other.

The distance between fingers was just a fraction.

[Did I kill 153 and 042 again? ]

He closed his eyes in pain, and the past kept reappearing before his eyes like a movie.

[Those who die because of their own actions are counted one by one,

2B, A2, Divala, Popola, Miss 21O, Annie Morning, Strange Cass, all members of the resistance army...

Miss Commander? I guess so...

I could have saved her.

Haha, there are so many that I can’t even count them…]

He crawled on the ground, stretched out his only remaining right hand, and struggled forward.

Trying to put their hands together.

Gradually, he lost consciousness.

The body became cold and the eyes dimmed.

"2B...A2...So, you guys are there..."

On the pure white floor, a pool of bright red viscous liquid slowly spread out.

Like a beautiful flower in full bloom.

One person, two machines.

They all lay on the ground, with their heads slightly raised, and stretched their hands forward, trying to clasp them together.

The world returned to loneliness.
