Chereads / Lady Emperor / Chapter 37 - 37-Escape

Chapter 37 - 37-Escape

Inside the Main Factory of Rogue's Base. A White Silver Haired Girl laid on the ground with blood flowing out of her body. She looked intently at the Levitating Metallic Sphere with a weakening gaze. She coughed up blood, and her heartbeat was weakening. The Metallic Sphere kept stabbing her body over and over again as her Blood splattered all over the ground. The Bright Light within the Girl's Golden Amber Eyes slowly dimmed. The Metallic Sphere stopped stabbing the Girl, and its form slowly changed into a different form. It was a Humanoid Form. The Real Instigator was making its real appearance in front of the White Silver Haired Girl.

A Beautiful Lady appeared on the spot of the Metallic Sphere. She had Golden Colored Hair and Purple Amethyst Eyes. The Beautiful Lady looked like Typhon but with a different aura and persona. The Beautiful Lady wore a Black Dress and looked at the White Silver Haired Girl on the ground. The Lady held a Metallic Knife and began playing with it. The Knife had the blood of the Little Girl the Lady stabbed. The Beautiful Lady then noticed that the White Silver Hared Girl was still conscious. The Lady then introduced herself to the Little Girl with a smile plastered on her face.

"It's nice to meet you, Master... My name is Typhos, The Artificial Intelligence who supervise the Simulated Reality." Typhos lightly bowed with a smile on her face. Rogue looked at Typhons, and Typho's face reminded her of Typhon. Rogue had numerous thoughts within her mind, and she wanted to ask a lot of questions. But only one simple word escaped from her Mouth.

"W-why?" Rogue said with a weakened soft voice. She didn't know why she got betrayed, and she hoped that it wasn't Typhon that betrayed her. She didn't want to feel the same feeling ever again. Rogue's Heart feels like it got punch by someone's fist. It hurt... Rogue didn't want to feel such feelings as it would linger her forever. Typhos looked at Rogue and answered as a smirk slowly form on her face.

"The Loyal Program has begun, Master. There is no need for me to follow the script, and it is time for me to make you Loyal to the Organization." Typhos said with a calm voice towards Rogue. Rogue looked at her as she couldn't move a single muscle on her body. She also couldn't use her energy, which means that Typhos had something that blocked her Energy. Rogue closed her eyelids as she had numerous thoughts within her mind.

'Loyal Program? Script? Organization? What does all of these mean?' Rogue wanted answers to her question, so she decided to think about it. The Speed of her Mind quickly got to a good conclusion. 'I see... Everything is fake, as expected. Even the people around me are fake. My Subordinates aren't my subordinates. They came from the Organization in the Outside. I already expected this to happen.' Rogue sighed, but she places her little hand on her chest, even with her weakened body.

'Why? Why does it hurt? Didn't I already get betrayed in my Last Life? What is the difference between now and then?' Rogue gritted her teeth. Her heart was hurting like never before. She already experienced betrayal, but why does it feel different? Why does it hurt more than her past life? Where did it go wrong? Rogue then remembered the words of someone she couldn't remember in her Past Life or was that even her Past Life?

*Rogue, Why do you think Betrayal destroys someone?* Rogue couldn't remember the Face, but she could remember his words and her answer. *Because betrayal... Makes your investment worthless?* Rogue could remember that the Man sighed and shook his head after hearing her answer. *Betrayal doesn't come from your Enemies but those that you protect and trust. A betrayal feels like a stab in the back. It goes through the Heart of someone and changes them into something different.*

'What was that? Where do these memories come from? I don't remember them from my Past Life.' Rogue thought to herself as she couldn't help but think of words told by the Man. The reason why she never felt pain from the Betrayal was that she expected to get betrayed. Rogue already expected to get betrayed, but in this life, She planned to change. She never looked back and noticed the strange things that happened. 'I never expected to get betrayed by someone I trust...'

'So this is the feeling of betrayal. I never expected it to be this painful.' Rogue thought to herself as she looked around with her Golden Amber Eyes. She understood that she would die, and the Loyal Program would be plastered upon her consciousness. She didn't know what would happen but from its name. It was clear that she would turn into a Slave for the Organization.

"Typhos, Are you really Typhon? You sure act like different..." Rogue asked with a soft voice while smiling. Typhos looked at her with a furrowed eyebrows. Typhos crouched nobly and whispered on Rogue's ears. "The Script demands to stop the acting. The Script about a Mentor turning into Subordinate of the Emperor. A Mentor created by the Strongest Race in this Machine World. That is a good script to play, but it seems that Master is getting scrapped."

"Oh... Are you sure about that? I doubt that you are even Typhon... Sooner or later, I will bring back Typhon and take her away from you." Rogue said with a weakened smile even though she was losing blood. Typhos gritted her teeth as Rogue's eyes shone. "Hahaha... What I thought was correct." Rogue chuckled as Typhon's expression turned cold.

"Are you even an Artificial Intelligence? You're even a failure than me. Typhon is probably better than you in that Job." Rogue was trying to make Typhos angry, but it seemed that her plan was failing. Rogue didn't want to die without reaching the truth and paying those that cage her in this Machine Reality. She will take back everything that got taken away from her.

"There is no need for me to speak to you. It's time for the Loyal Program to be activated within you." Typhos spoke with a cold tone as a Golden Chain manifested on her hand. Rogue chuckled once again after hearing what Typhos said. "Why are you laughing?" Typhos asked as Rogue answered with a confident tone. "I don't plan to give up without fighting back."

*BOOM!!!"

An Explosion echoed within the Factory. It was the Harvesters forcing themselves within the Factory. Exodus then arrived at the interior and managed to make a Giant Hole within it. Exodus looked at Typhos, then looked at Rogue, who was bloodied on the floor. *Typhon? You bastard!!!* Exodus shouted as his limbs destroyed everything within the Factory.

He then gave a Message towards the Monster all over the Main Base. *The Commander Typhon has started a Coup against the Emperor. The Emperor is injured because a Subordinate dared to betray her. Kill the Machines and burned them with the Emperor's Army.* It was the announcement of an all-out Civil War. A Civil War was about to start within the Base of Rogue. A Civil War between Machines and Monsters.

During the Month where Rogue disappeared, Exodus created 1,000,000 VanMonsters and 1000 Harvesters. It was the result of using every Biomass they got from the War. The Monsters had the Numbers, but the Machines couldn't be underestimated. They had technology that could easily handle numbers. The Machines couldn't control the Technology of the Monster's back as it directly got controlled by the Hivemind, Which meant that the Artificial Intelligence within the Monster's back already got controlled by the Hivemind.

The Monsters looked around as their Eyes signified Anger and Hatred. Typhos looked at Exodus without any change of expression. She then ordered the Machines in the Base to attack the Monsters. *Typhon, You will die for betraying the Emperor.* Exodus said while pointing the gigantic cannon towards her. He then fired as a Bright Light illuminated the Barrel.

A VanMonster appeared right beside Rogue and brought her to its back. It then began its escape from the Factory. "Tsk... So that's your plan." Typhos clicked her tongue as she ordered the Machines to chase the VanMonster. Rogue was currently useless as her Energy and Body weakened to the point Rogue turned into a deadweight. Numerous Attack Drones then chased the VanMonster.

The Barrel of Exodus completed its Charge, and Exodus fired it towards Typhos without any hesitation. A Bright Light illuminated the Main Factory as an Earthquake echoed all over the Land. A Shockwave form and engulfed both Heaven and Earth. A Thunderous Sound got carried with the Shockwave.

*BOOM!!!*

The Main Factory of Rogue's Base got destroyed by the strong explosion. Exodus looked at the Devastated Main Factory and noticed a Figure flying in front of him. "Do you think that would be enough to kill me?" Typhos asked with a calm voice as she had a smile plastered on her face. Exodus looked at Typhos with a cold gaze as Numerous Harvesters began firing their Cannons towards Typhos.

*BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!*

Meanwhile. on the Main Road of the Base leading east. The VanMonster ran very fast while firing its Machine Guns and Cannon towards its pursuers. Numerous Attack Drones were chasing the Van Monsters. They fired Missiles towards the VanMonster, which caused destruction all over the place. The VanMonster then looked at the Attack Drones as a Group of VanMonsters jumped from a High Place to attack the Drones that chased its Comrade.

The VanMonster nodded to its comrade. The Order has already been given. It was to protect the Emperor with their lives. With this in mind, The Monsters went all out and didn't care about their bodies even if it was burning in the midst of Battle. The VanMonster continued running within the Main Road of the East. Rogue, who got carried by the VanMonster, finally regained some of her consciousness.

Rogue opened her eyelids which revealed her Golden Amber Eyes. She noticed that she got carried by a VanMonster and was escaping the Main Base. She looked at the Dark Night Sky and saw Attack Drones and Machine Warships chasing towards her. A Harvester and Hundreds of VanMonsters then began attacking the pursuing army.

'A Civil War started.' Rogue thought to herself as the lights of the Main Base kept flashing in her eyes. She remembered the Peaceful Place where Machines and Monsters got along with each other. The Image then slowly got enveloped by the Current Image of the Main Base. Structures were in Fire, and Weapons were being fired everywhere. It was Chaotic.

As the VanMonster ran through the Main Road. Thousands of VanMonsters followed it as they were guarding their Emperor. The Harvesters stood in the way of the Attack Drones and Machine Warships as they were the Behemoths of the Monster Race. Bright Light flashed on Rogue's eyes as the Thunderous Sound of Explosions echoed in her ears.

*BANG!!!* *BANG!!!* *BANG!!!* *BANG!!!* *BANG!!!*

*BRrrrttttt!!!* *BOOM!!!* *PANG!!!* *BOOM!!!*

Rogue looked at the Night skies once again and noticed a Dark Figure in the Heavens carrying a Harvester Corpse. She knew that it was Typhos which meant that the Harvester was Exodus. Rogue gritted her teeth after seeing the scene from afar. She felt anger stemming from her heart. The Sadness of Betrayal turned into the Fuel for Hatred. The Flames of Anger and Hatred within Rogue's heart got stronger and stronger as time passes by.

The VanMonster finally reached the Main Eastern Gate. The Monster passed through it without any problems as numerous VanMonsters followed the Monster. Most of the VanMonsters stayed behind to buy time for their Emperor's escape. Rogue looked at the Bright Moon in the Skies. She felt the Cold Breeze of Wind. The Leaves within the Dark Night rustled as the Dark Clouds passed through the Heavens.

It was truly the Darkest Night for Rogue.
