Agent Smith POV:

I finally found a solution to this problem. Let’s negotiate with a demon.

Using intercom I said, “I know you can survive without oxygen, but what about your miss?”

After a while, a response came “Where are you going with this, you foolish human?”

“Return back to hell or we will put poison in the ventilation system, and your miss will be well… death”

“If you kill her, you will be done for. We will wait for you after your death. And don’t think you can hide in Aether if you kill her. Even Aether will want you to suffer after that.”

“Just lies from a demon. And even if it is true, you too will be in problem as an undirected cause of her demise”

After almost a minute of the quiet demon was gone.

“Now send a unit inside, drug her and lock her somewhere. Don’t let her wake up.”

Tia POV:

Everything around me was dim, they were carrying me somewhere. I was barely conscious and even that was for few seconds.

I was locked somewhere and it wasn’t my room. I fall asleep again.

I was occasionally waking up only to fall asleep again in few moments.

I was dreaming.

Time around me was passing. It could be days, months, or even years.

I woke up and around me was a bunch of people in black robes with golden masks. They were all kneeling in front of me and in the background I could hear shooting.

‘They don’t look like people from the agency. How long I was even out?’

“We came to save you as ordered by the divine mission, oo daughter of the end. We are a cult of Genesis. Lead us and show us a way to our Lord” said all of them at the same time.

‘Maybe proper subordinates, finally?’

“Come with us now. Please forgive our audacity, but our enemies are closing on us” said one with the most decorated mask, presumably leader.

I tried to stand up but my legs after a long time of being drugged out and unconscious weren’t working properly.

“Victoria, daughter of the end have a problem walking, carry her”

Person sounding like a young woman approached and took me into a princess carry “Such an honor, to hold daughter of the end”

I was too dizzy and weak to protest. We walked through corridors with the occasional corpse of cultist or agent. Soon we reached a large hall with a bunch of cultists in. As drugs started to dissipate by my powerful metabolism I started to feel better.

“They blocked exits. We are trapped here.” said one of them only to be rebuffed by the leader “Do, not despair we have a daughter of end, now she will take us to safety”

They all looked at me.

‘I guess they are my servants now, so I should save them. But how… Oh right there must bust be some group teleportation ability’ but before I had a chance fully armed squad showed up in the corridor and opened fire on us. Cultists created some barriers from light but before that three of them got hit.

‘How dare they, to kill my new servants?’

Enraged by their insolence I activated with 200 CE and burned the whole squad.

“Ohh, thank you for your blessing. We are unworthy but grateful” said one of cultist and other joined him with similar phrases.

And finally, the interface gave me a solution to the problem of being surrounded .

‘Time for some calculations. The base cost to activate is 1000, there is currently 36 cultist in the room. So I will need 4600 CE and I currently have’

I asked the interface for the current amount of CE.

‘It increased while I was sleeping. It must have been my CE generating more of it in combination with passive absorption from the environment and there is a big chance that some people died close to me in this facility. But this much? How long I was even asleep. But it is still not enough. So I will have to kill enough enemies to fix this problem. But at first, I need to get rid of nanites.’ after few seconds of thinking I got an idea ‘Anor said that they are the same as my clothes so they will change with me, so does it mean that I can simply stove them to my storage as I can my clothes?’

And it worked.

“Put me down, hold this room I need to harvest more energy from enemies to get everyone out of here”

The leader started to shake “Such care about us, we are unworthy for you to risk here. Abandon us and take only as much of us as you can.”

‘Wait, a second. Wouldn’t it be possible to split them in half and take them that way? Nah, sounds boring I will rather harvest some energy while I can. ‘

“I want to take revenge anyway so hold this room”

‘But before that, there would be bullet hell and maybe even explosions. I don’t trust to protect me. So interface recommendation please.’

I accepted and redistributed my 1000 CE to boosts. I could feel the power of my body rise to heights. My mind started to see everything in mathematical calculation giving me the ability to do everything accurately and predict everything around me.

I left big halls and started to run through corridors at great speeds looking for prey. Soon I found a squad of six searching complex. Before they had a chance to react, I blinked between them. Pulled out my sword and started to cut them. In a few moments, their limbs heads, and torsos were flying while spraying blood around them. Luckily my protected me from blood.

New celestial energy rushed into me and I started to laugh in ecstatic at that feeling.

‘I can hear them’ With my now improved senses I could hear the breathing of eight targets.

I speeded up towards them. I saw another squad, but this time they were escorting two civil employees, by their lab coats they were probably scientists of some kind.

I wanted to slay them with my sword but I got a better idea ‘Why no one ever uses telekinesis to move their brains. Even a little pull should be deadly.’

I approached them “Hello there, you got a perfect opportunity of dying interesting death.”

“Shoot her it is S0”

They started to heavy fire in my direction butt all of their bullets simply dopped to the ground when they touched my barrier. And then I pulled. They were now on the ground, some were still twitching.

‘Letting them suffer is kind of cruel I should fasten their death’

So I burned them with and gained 130 CE.

With help of my , I managed to find the potential exit. I headed that way in hope of finding more targets. Through a bunch of empty corridors, I reached massive blast doors, covered in some gliffs. I activated to melt it. It took me a good minute to melt them. On the other side was a large hall with twenty guards and a woman in a robe which I once saw accompanying that perverted scientist, but she was much older, she was now in her forties.

‘What, how long was I sleeping?’

She looked at me and said “Well, be good girl, and surrender”

‘Like really? What is she even thinking.’

Then she threw a ball of fire at me from her hands. It was ineffective as it dissipated on my barrier. I decided to return fire with small with 100 CE it also dissipated on her barrier. She smirked at me and then guards started to shoot at me. I threw another this time with 500 CE and she evaporated together with guards and all objects in the hall.
