MC looked at the front of the opened lift and saw the lobby of the base. It was Covered with metal which was painted off white. There were at least 30 people all on their way to their department or on break, chatting. They were the the lowest class in the facility thought as the person with the highest level was a quassi- B+ rank.
As he was assessing them, a person who was passing by noticed him.
That guy obviously could tell that the masked person isn't someone from the Base but he couldn't tell thet he is from some other Base for help. But that only stayed for a second because he can see the dense almost transparent aura surrounding MC.
He senses the danger and try to get into the guarded position and to call everyone. But to his disappointment, the split second is all it take to his knockout.
MC appeared at that spit second at the person's behind and with a jab, he broke the neck of that person. Although his broken neck don't endanger his life, it didn't change the the fact that he was done for before he can start and it was pretty shameful for a [B] class. His last thoughts were, 'This is definitely going to be my dark past if I survive'.
With a thud, the person's body fall to the ground and it catch a lot of attention. Everyone saw that a person falling lifelessly and the 'Very suspicious' masked person who was standing behind him. Everyone at that place were elite and every single one of them are a powerhouse on their own. They Instinctively turned into guarded position ready to defend from the Intruder.
The Most Strongest person who was coincidentally at the break who was also the 'Level Head' at the time was at the lobby. He was a [B+] class Super. He ordered them at continuously as, " Form The formation A- 09. Jaer, Inform the the bellow floors and Initialise the the Sequence No. 1C of the First floor. Everyone else, Do anything to buy time.
The A-09 formation is a very simple, 15 person all defense formation. The attack are not that good or even can be said lackluster but the the defensive capability of the formation is like turtle shell. Thought, just like cooking turtle inside their shell, the method is highly ineffective because of their poor mobility and easily Chipped with time. but for buying time, It's the best possible formation.
As for the Sequence No. 1C is the highest Layered intruder repelling system for Level 1. In The Lowest Level, it's goes up to, No. 7Z. Thought this type of disparities are usually to cut cost and energy. After all getting the power to 1 km down planet is not the most Efficient thing.
They didn't even spare a second to create the formation and except those, everyone else start casting their esper powers, Mostly high concentration energy blast of their respective Elements.
As for the ones on the formation, they all created a Elementary Barrier to buff their attack and defence capacity.
As for the the Guy named 'Jaer', He ran from the behind the formation to the door of the Level 1 control room. Well, he tried at least.
As he just croos the mechanical door, suddenly a hand grabbed his head and smashed his head to the metal floor. It was MC's hand. His body was still flickering as he was made of energy but it Stableized right after. Maybe because travel of space that made it looks like that.
He then put hand on the two inner pocket of his trench coat and take out 2 round batons about 2Cm wide and 50 Cm long. It was made out of complete metal but the compound used in the metal was not normal. He slighty shaked the Baton and The front ⅔ of the baton lit up and expanded 10 Cm more, creating a really long Edgeless weapon.
After watching the fall of the informer, The [B+] super leaved every ounce of hope. He screamed out of his lungs and said a single word "CHARGE!!!!!"
The mask of MC showing that there were 38 entities were at the Proximity and there were 45 entries on the list of crew members of Level 1 so there were 7 people still unknown to the radar.
The [B+] Super was a Earth-Body type super so He was turnend to a 8 feet tall HumanLike golem but with speed. His suit has turned to a simple black metallic armor including his face, body, hand which looks claws.
only part oncoverd was the lower part of the leg, as it expanded the most to balance the massive weight of the body.
The Golem's hand were 4 times the size of a average human's face. With that hand he punched MC with full force. The punch was strong enough to hear up the air surrounding his hand to ignite.
But MC Moved forward that punch and it was going to hit him, he bend his leg and made a horizontal just that sped him up to barely saving him to get hit and also take him to the close proximity of the enemy. So he used the close the distance and swing the baton of his left hand. It didn't affect the air at all and was very normal but as it touch the golem's leg, the leg burst to pieces. What follows was a shrill cry.
The weight of the golem was extremely high and the puch made it's center of gravity at the front and the MC breaking his frontier leg made him completely fall so he just backed a little and straight up attacks the core¹ of his falling body with his both batons at upwards. Just connected, it bursted into pieces. The person inside also thrown into celling of the Level, Completely Knocking him out. His Body Falls in the floor after hitting the celling. All his bones were completely completely and with the left leg missing.
Others were completely intimidated by the display of power but they knew if they don't fight, things could be worse as the way to the next floor and control room were blocked by the intruder and they somehow can't use comm' to inform them about the intruder.
'The Person used the perfect time to intrude' is what they were all thinking.
The Control Team were in their shift and only every 3 months, and only for max 1 hr 15 min.
Each and every person start running towards him, Blasting projectiles.
MC dodged every single of them and deflect a few of them. As they comes to the proximity, he dodged a fire punch from a blond guy and hit him to the joint of arm, completely dislocating his arm. On the second hit in his Unguarded head, following a cracking skull.
Then a person try to stab him from the back but hand were clenly cut.
The batons expanded to a 3 meter long energy whip. After the whip arrived at the scene, it was a complete masacare.
[1 min Later...]
The Whip turned into a 40 Cm baton again. The room was smelling full of cooked meat and blood, which was quite nauseous. There were a lot of cut legs and broken bodies were scattered. Though the scene was quite gruesome, there was only one casualty. Thought the dude who died was stupid. He literally shoved his hid inside the baton trying to replicate the golem trick.
He was thinking the overall plan of stealing of the main. Thought he still thought the plan was stupid.
The plan is like this...
After Entering the Base, First work was to completely win over the Level 1. Now if someone want to go to the lower level, they have to use the Teleportation room of the Command Center. Now One can only teleport into the Corospondind level by their ID or their Authority Level. But Level 23 is the Lowest one can go with this. After that were only accessible by the headquarters teleporters and infiltration on headquarters of Union is a pipe dream.
Now after Capturing the target, Teleport directly to 23'rd Level ( Shout out to White streak dude for arranging the ID), starts the most radical part of the mission and probably most flashy part. The Lower 5 floors don't line up with each other. Except the 1 place.
The southeast part of the the 23'rd floor, namely Archive. After arriving to the place, use a Named Spell named, Space Split. A [S+] rank spell which will be used concentrated to the floor to break through the 28'th floor.
Of course it looks like a overkill, but the space main's presence made thing more complicated. The whole space around the base has been solidified to the extreme that normal space based spell power have been decreased to like 7015th of what it usually works.
The Space Split can usually create a hole in the seal and if used to create a space rift in the planet, it can certainly make a portal to planet's core.
As per the distance between 5 most bottom floors are no more than 500 meters, it won't be a problem. But more than that would be a stretch and can kill him.
After, using the spell, it would be a battle of time. In 1.5 minutes, he have to get the main and exit through the rift Or the the aftermath of the space mending will crush him when he have to exit or the rift will close itself, leaving him behind.
At first, it sounds like a total absurd plan through and through. Even MC thought that he was getting send to death when he first heard the plan but the thing is, it was the only plausible plan for stealing the main and not outright start a war. At least the the Oracle don't want to, at least till the get the final piece.
The absurdity and the plausibility of the the mission solely stand on the the part of the Mission where the agent have to use the spell. The Super stable space and the extremely unstable space Spells made the teleportation Almost impossible. That is why the Union Can't outright transport 'Main directly to their headquarters. Afterall, even a [S] rank will be turned to Minced Meat in front of a Crushing Space Rift but a Surprising factor is that even a [C] rank can definitely do get past this rift but the Energy Control he needs for the job is too high that it's only Theoretically possible.
And that's where MC comes in the fray. He is a [B] rank Super in Energy level. But he have Energy Control so high that he can Compress Energy to Supposedly Infinity Density, Albeit if he only use his full power+ His Life force and that would definitely rob his life away.
This job's most dangerous part didn't threaten him to slightest but the existence of the [S] ranks and [A] ranks do and because the rift making things impossible for it to be a group mission, This definitely is a extremely dangerous mission, and being 17 didn't really make enemies make their guard down as he was wearing a mask and the people he was against were literal Veteran and Boss Level Players in their Game.
His Face Twitch Just thinking about the enormous amount of risk this Mission has and stop thinking about it to stop messing his mind anymore. He Extend and type a 10 digit code on the Operating Screen of the Teleporter.
The teleporter was 5 meter tall Circular Gate which was connected to many ⅛meter wide tubes which carrying Some Glowing Semi-Transparent fluids. The Teleporter itself was black and Center of two rings were a little burnt out, As the the aftermath of the usage thought it was quite normal to have burnt marks in Them as they were quite commonly used as a inter base teleporter.
The Main' don't have any effect on the the Inter-base Teleporter as the the long distance and the short distance teleporter have difference in their fundamental law of working. Usually the long distance one have the traditional Space rift technology used to travel which is definitely extremely Costly and the The Tagging of Location is also difficult. In comparison, the short distance one don't use Space Rift, instead it use the older Space Swapping technology. The Short Identical space tagged together and creating a information type channel to travel. The Structure is incredibly Cheap compared to Space Rift and is because it use different type of Law, it didn't get disturbed by the space main. Thought because of the Tag, it cannot be 10 Km away from one Another or the signal will get Lost and cannot be used for Long distance travel.
The problem is even if the Information type Teleporter was invented before, it's real working law is rather uncharted so this problem cannot be solved easily.
The teleporter start warming up. The sides start glowing up like a blast furnace and start pulsing. Little by little, the flame like material covering the center of the ring, pulse by pulse. It only takes 30 second to cover the giant ring. As the whole flame covered the teleporter, it pulsed one last time, but from center this time. The last pulse turned the whole sheet like flame into a blueish mirror like thing as signalling the connection has been made to the 23rd floor.
He looked at it for a while and gritted his teeth for the last time as his whole body tensed up. This is one of the most dangerous part of the mission as if the upper floor know that someone has inflitrated then the whole base will turn to a meat grinder for him where he is the meat. But those thoughts soon disappeared like smoke.
His eyes turned blurry, like his humanity vanished. A constrained aura start appearing in body and covering and his physical body start flickering like it is turning into energy.
"Open file L23R3T10. Move the map to Smart view."
The view of the mask changes again showing the whole 23rd floor with all the data of all personnel of the floor.
MC bend his knees for momentum and with a inhumane push, just darted through the mirrorlike portal, destroying the portal with the aftershock of the push itself.
[...]
On the other side of the portal, 23rd Level.
On the portal room, 'Lainz Evark', The operator of the shift who was sleeping soundly thinking that the peaceful days will go forever suddenly snapped back to reality by a powerful alarm. It was the alarm that States that the portal is in use, which MC surely disabled before turning it on the first floor to save his ears.
He brain suddenly start working really fast to think who might be on the other side.
'Who is it today? why don't I have any prior notice? if this is some sort of ambush? '
As the portal was warming up, he start looking at the ID used to open the portal. After checking it, he sighed in relief. It was just a package that have come 3 hours early.
He pressed a button at the control and call a person from logistics department and said "The engine of CZ MK49 have arrived. make way for it."
Then he cut the call and start waiting for the portal to open.
As the portal opened, he saw something strange. The portal have a tiny crack. Even though Lainz was a slacker, he was still a [A] class. But it take him long to understand what it was.
Just like fragile glass, the whole portal broke to pieces with a piercing sound. The whole absurd thing happened in front of his eyes and because it happens in front of his eyes, his movement got sluggish for a few movement, his neck got sliced cleanly by something before he knew what happened. His last moments were just like a dream like phase which might never end for him.
MC saw Lainz head fall but he doesn't have time for any of that. The alarms have start ringing all over the 23rd Level.
[...]
On the Other Side, A person with pitch black eyes tapped a button and start speaking in a mic leisurely.
"This is a direct order from the Level Master of 23'rd floor. Everyone, destroy the intruder which infiltrated the base. No exception! The Code 0 initiates now."
The person then turned off the mic and then leisurely leaned on his high chair of the Master room.
He thinks, 'Is it for some data or because something else? whatever. He will die anyway. After all, things have just updated this week.'
