Chereads / Another Genesis : Rise of Mankind / Chapter 24 - Yiville the Moving City

Chapter 24 - Yiville the Moving City

Aiden's voice echoed through the chaos, commanding attention as the City of Yiville began its astonishing metamorphosis. "Silverprism, Yiville isn't just a settlement; it's a moving fortress, a sanctuary of unity. Its people have embraced this truth and forged a bond strong enough to withstand any adversity. As the founder of Yiville, I, Aiden, pledge our collective protection!"

With a resolute gesture from Aiden, Yiville transformed into a colossal mechanical behemoth. Aiden's fist clenched, and Yiville mirrored the motion, channeling an immense surge of power. In a breathtaking display of might, Yiville unleashed a cataclysmic blow, hurtling towards the mechanical Man O War with unparalleled force, shaking the very foundation of the battlefield.

As the Mechanical Man O War retaliated with a potent shockwave, Aiden gritted his teeth against the overwhelming force. "Ughhh," he grunted in pain, his voice strained but resolute. "Hahahh... It's starting to fight"

Yiville responded in kind, mirroring Aiden's determination. It swiftly countered the attack by seizing the Mechanical Man O War's appendage with a powerful grip. In an incredible display of strength, Yiville initiated a full rotation, harnessing its immense power, and hurled the mechanical adversary with staggering force.

The Mechanical Man O War soared through the air, trailing debris, its once-dominant posture now a display of vulnerability. The ground shook upon impact, sending shockwaves across the battlefield.

Amidst the chaos, Aiden steadied himself, a mix of exhaustion and determination etched across his face. As the Mechanical Man O War unleashed its minion, Joseph was the first to voice his surprise, "What is that?"

William quickly identified it, "Looks like a jellyfish."

Asher added with a nod, "Yeah, a mechanical jellyfish. But this time, it's like a swarm."

Eliza's voice resonated through their comms, urgent and commanding, "Seems like it's producing a swarm of mechanical jellyfish. We need to provide support, quickly!"

Once again, Eliza contacted Aiden, her tone determined, "We're here to back you up, Aiden. Looks like there are many of them."

Aiden responded, his resolve unwavering, "Alright, Eliza."

The swarm of mechanical jellyfish surged forward, moving in a synchronized pattern, resembling a relentless swarm of bees. GENESIS, Hell Brothers, and BEOWULF engaged, each positioning themselves strategically to combat the incoming onslaught. The battlefield became a chaotic as Aiden, Joseph, Asher, Felix, William and the rest of the team braced themselves for the incoming mechanical swarm.

As the mechanical swarm surged, Joseph, William, Asher, and Felix found themselves locked in a tense struggle. The relentless assault of the mechanical jellyfish threatened to overwhelm them.

"Damn, this is getting tedious," grumbled William, his frustration evident in his voice.

Joseph responded, gritting his teeth, "We need to find a way to break through this swarm, or we'll be here all day."

Asher joined in, trying to analyze the swarm's pattern, "It's like they're coordinated, moving in unison. We can't seem to find an opening."

Felix, maneuvering his mech in a defensive stance, added, "Maybe if we concentrate our attacks on a single point, we can create a gap."

They began strategizing and coordinating their attacks, aiming to disrupt the synchronization of the mechanical swarm. GENESIS, BEOWULF, and the Hell Brothers moved in calculated unison, aiming precise strikes at specific nodes of the mechanical jellyfish to disperse their formation.

The clash continued with intense back-and-forth action, each pilot trying to outmaneuver the relentless assault of the swarm. Sparks flew as weapons clashed against the metallic bodies of the jellyfish-like mechs. Despite their efforts, the swarm seemed relentless, its sheer numbers making progress slow and challenging.

Amidst the chaos, the pilots maintained their focus, seeking any vulnerability or opportunity to gain an advantage against the overwhelming mechanical swarm.

As the mechanical swarm seemed relentless, a powerful laser beam suddenly streaked across the sky, slicing through the horde, and annihilating a significant portion of the metallic entities.Joseph exclaimed, surprised, "What was that?!"Eliza's voice echoed through their comms, "Silver Prism Motherbase ship! We'll keep supporting you from a distance," she assured.William, relieved, responded, "That's a lifesaver!"However, their respite was brief as the mechanical Man O War unleashed even more reinforcements, intensifying the swarm's assault.Aiden's urgent voice cut through the chaos, "Yiville is preparing for a final attack... we need more time," he urged, as the Yiville mech powered up, emitting a blinding radiance.

Absolutely! Here's an enhanced version:

As Yiville gathered its strength for the decisive strike, Aiden's voice resonated with unwavering determination, "Now, feel our wrath!"

The impending blow from Yiville struck with immense force, but the Mechanical Man O War reacted swiftly, summoning a swarm of its mechanized minions to form an impromptu shield. "What?! It's blocking!" Aiden's surprise echoed through the chaos. "How could this be... Yiville's energy is depleting rapidly!"

Amidst the tense standoff between Yiville and the resilient enemy, GENESIS appeared, prompting Joseph's bewildered response, "GENESIS?" Realization struck him suddenly, "I see... you want us to aid Aiden, don't you?"

With a rush of power, GENESIS's dormant potential ignited, illuminating in a brilliant, pulsating ruby-colored light. Speeding across the battlefield, GENESIS positioned itself strategically between Yiville and the encroaching Mechanical Man O War. A surge of ruby energy burst forth from GENESIS, weakening the defenses of the mechanical swarm.

Witnessing GENESIS's intervention, Aiden seized the moment. "Rest in peace Children of Eden" Aiden's resolve was evident as Yiville geared up for a final, monumental strike against the now-weakened Mechanical Man O War.

The clash of colossal forces reverberated across the battlefield, the skies crackling with vibrant energy as Yiville, GENESIS, and the Mechanical Man O War reached a decisive point in their titanic conflict.

In an instant, the landscape shifted, casting everyone into a dreamlike state. Amidst the ethereal haze, haunting scenes unfolded. A vision of a young girl surrounded by others, all subjected to agonizing experiments and torment. "Is this..." Joseph's voice trailed off, filled with dismay.

Aiden's solemn confirmation echoed through the dreamy void, "Yes, this is the Children of Eden."

William's shock was palpable, "Unbelievable...turning innocent children into weapons..."

Suddenly, within this surreal unconscious realm, the scene altered. They found themselves standing face-to-face with the very same young girl they had seen in the disturbing vision.

"Thank you for rescuing me," the young girl's voice resonated, gratitude emanating from her.

Desperate to grasp onto this fleeting encounter, Joseph called out, "Wait, don't go!" But before they could make sense of the situation, the young girl vanished, and reality snapped back into place, returning them to consciousness.

In the aftermath, Joseph couldn't shake off the distressing image from the dream-like encounter. "Eliza, did you see that?" he asked, his voice tinged with sorrow.

Eliza acknowledged his concern, "Yes, we all witnessed it, Joseph. We'll talk about it later. For now, return to motherbase."

As they arrived back at the Silver Prism Motherbase, they were met with a mixture of relief and sadness from their comrades, including Erina and Jennifer.

Eliza approached them, commending their efforts despite the heart-wrenching scene they had witnessed. "You did well," she praised Joseph, William, Asher, and Felix.

Aiden's presence was notable, and a silent exchange between Eliza and him revealed an unspoken understanding. Sensing Joseph's curiosity, Aiden addressed the matter at hand. "Yes, I'm aware of the Children of Eden. During my service under the White King, I stumbled upon classified documents detailing their existence. Back then, After that I have decide to against them. The truth is about the project Yiville which i believed and hope that Yiville's potential to counter the ARTIFICIAL," Aiden explained, flicking open a lighter and lighting his cigarette. "What I saw today showed me that GENESIS still carries hope for humanity. Take care of GENESIS, Joseph. I'll offer my support in the future."

"Anyway" Said Aiden and he casually flipped through his tablet and proceeded to transfer a substantial amount to Eliza's bank account. Displaying the staggering number, he said, "Thank you for your assistance in reclaiming the City of Yiville."

Kotu and Max were visibly shocked by the colossal sum displayed on the screen. "Whoaaaaa, how many zeros are there?" exclaimed Kotu, trying to count, while Max struggled to follow along.

"It's 1 trillion," Eliza calmly informed them, which sent Asher and Felix into a state of utter disbelief. "1 Trillion?!" they exclaimed together.

Joseph and Erina exchanged glances, sharing a chuckle at the sheer incredulity of the situation.

William let out a sigh, observing the scene unfold before him.

Eliza, astonished, questioned Aiden, "Isn't this too much?"

Aiden reassured her, "Of course not. You deserve it, Eliza. There's a lot that needs to be done at Silver Prism, and I believe this amount will be instrumental."

Eliza nodded thoughtfully, acknowledging the weight of the responsibility that came with such a significant sum. "You're right. I'll ensure this money is put to good use for the betterment of Silver Prism."

As Aiden departed, he offered a parting remark, "I hope our paths cross again, Eliza," before heading back to the City of Yiville.

Eliza, as usual, bid everyone goodnight before retiring to her office.

Later that evening, while Joseph and Erina were together, Erina reminisced, "Joseph, do you remember our first ride on GENESIS together?"

Joseph nodded, "Yeah, I remember that day. Why do you ask?"

Erina hesitated momentarily before replying, "It's nothing, just a passing thought."

Joseph smiled reassuringly, "We'll ride together again someday."

Erina couldn't help but tease, "Seems like you're getting better, Joseph... but I miss your cluelessness. I can't tease you as much now."

Joseph chuckled, "You miss my cluelessness? Maybe it's because of everything going on. It feels like it's my responsibility to make the world a better place."

Erina leaned in beside Joseph and grinned, "I get it, Joseph. But there's always a way to tease you," she said with a playful smile.

The two shared a moment, smiling at each other.

The moment William finally had a chance to meet Jennifer, he gently approached her. "Hey Jennifer, how've you been?" he asked warmly.Jennifer smiled, "I'm doing well, William. And you?""I'm good too, Jennifer," William replied with a hint of nervousness."Thank you for looking out for Joseph," Jennifer said gratefully.William grinned a little sheepishly. "Ah, it's my duty, you know, protecting and covering for them."Before William could finish his sentence, Jennifer leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek. William was taken aback, blushing and momentarily speechless."Wh-what's that for?" stammered William, his face reddening."Remember what you said?" Jennifer chuckled softly. "You admitted your feelings for me, William."William, still feeling a bit flustered, managed to say, "Oh, right... So, you're finally opening up to me?"Jennifer nodded with a smile. William gathered his thoughts, "Finally! You know, I couldn't stop thinking about you from the moment I first saw you. And after that, I finally decided to express my feelings for you."

The Next Day

The next day was just another ordinary day at the Silver Prism motherbase. Joseph strolled into the cafeteria for breakfast. "What are you cooking up today, Erina?" he asked with curious.

"Just a sandwich, Joseph," Erina replied, already working on breakfast.

As Erina finished preparing breakfast for both Joseph and herself, they sat down to eat.

Suddenly, Joseph noticed William still there, enjoying his meal. "Wi...William?!" Joseph exclaimed in surprise.

William looked up, bewildered. "Huh? What's wrong?" he asked.Joseph stuttered, "You're still here?!"

William shrugged. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" he replied casually.

Joseph fell silent, then muttered, "It's nothing..."

Jennifer joined Joseph and Erina at the table. "Joseph," she began.

"Yes, Jennifer?" Joseph responded.With a smile, Jennifer said, "You see... Joseph, William and I—"

Joseph interrupted, "Huh? You and William?"

William jumped in, teasingly, "Oh, come on, Joseph, can't you tell? Your mom and I are together now."

Joseph was taken aback. "What?! So, what's next? Are you going to become my father?!" he exclaimed, half in disbelief.

Jennifer and Erina chuckled at the exchange.With a playful grin, William added, "Hahaha, you know, we're sharing a bed."

Joseph's eyes widened in shock. "Oh no, does that mean I have to call you Dad?!" he quipped, letting out a sigh.

After breakfast, an urgent announcement crackled over the intercom, summoning everyone to gather.

Eliza appeared before the assembled group. "Something grave has occurred," she began.

Joseph leaned forward, concerned. "What's happened, boss?"

Eliza's tone turned somber. "It involves Crimson Queen herself."

William's eyes widened in surprise. "Crimson Queen?"

Eliza activated a voice recording. "Silver Prism, I need your help. My daughter, Princess Scarlett, has been abducted. Please, I implore you to find her."

Joseph and William were taken aback. "Scarlett's been kidnapped?" Joseph exclaimed.

William clenched his fists. "How could this happen? Why hasn't Father informed me?"

In the midst of the discussion, Sally approached Eliza, pushing Luther's wheelchair. "Eliza, we have a visitor," she interjected.

"Visitor?" Eliza queried.

Luther chimed in, "Yes, from Crimson Queen and Lionel Lockhart, William's father."

Meanwhile

Aiden arrived at the Land of Dogma, a domain under the rule of the enigmatic Black Queen. Inside the opulent palace, he met the Black Queen herself.With a deep bow, Aiden showed respect. "My Queen, we've successfully reclaimed the City of Yiville."

The Black Queen, her face obscured by an ornate mask, replied in her enigmatic manner. "Indeed, Aiden. You've done well."

Aiden, humble in his response, continued, "My Queen, the success was largely due to Silver Prism's intervention. Without their assistance, reclaiming Yiville would have been impossible."

The Black Queen responded cryptically, "I'm aware of their involvement."

She paused and continued, "Something has occurred."

Aiden, puzzled, inquired, "What is it, my Queen?"

"The daughter of Crimson Queen, princess Scarlett Winstanley, has been kidnapped," the Black Queen revealed.

Aiden's expression shifted to one of shock and concern at the grave news.
