The question is straight and direct, no courtesy or formality, showing the domineering attitude of the person on the other end

"Yes" Jeremy answered coldly, he seem to have gotten used to this kind of treatment from the other person

"This goes to show what" the voice demanded, its tone very demanding as if emanating immerse pressure from the monitor

"My poor management skill, but its nothing I can't...."

"I don't want to hear it, you are bad at doing just this little job giving to you, what else can you do

Don't you know the implications of your lapses or do you need a special reminder"

The voice cut him off from speaking, reprimanding him for his negligence and all, giving him no chance to say a word

Veins were popping up in Jeremy head as he clenched his fist so tight his knuckles turn white but that is all he could do

No matter how angry he is, he wouldn't dare challenge the silhouette on the screen

Its best he suck it all in and retrace his steps, its not like he doesn't understand why so much importance is placed on this too

"I'm sending Violet over to assist you, it seem you can't handle things well all by yourself"

"Don't send that b*tch over please, I can handle my self very well" Jeremy quick refute the idea

"Its not a suggestions blue, its an order, so you better don't mess things up and make things difficult for her

Needless to say, I doubt you even have the ability to make things difficult for her" the voice said sarcastically

Jeremy's gritted his teeth but didn't say anything in return

"Good boy, now take that anger and rage, go fix up this mess you allowed to occur if you wish to do anything" the voice said as if he knew what Jeremy reaction would be and then ended the call

"Bastard" Jeremy throw out a punch only to hold back the last minute not to destroy school property and get himself into more trouble

Picking up the spider device, he turn and left the control room, his business there is done, he just have to focus on how to live with that B*tch coming

........

At the north sector of the old world, the camp of the resistance, a serious meeting ongoing is taking a different turn of event

"You can't do this Phil, zero hasn't ordered it yet, we can't make a move on the Gaia without her consent"

The leader board is divided amongst their opinion on what to do and haven't been able to come to an agreement since the meeting began

"I'm the second in command and I say we strike now the iron is hot, take out this pest and usher in our own era where we can all live freely"

The humanoid android called Phil spoke with determination to destroy the Gaia, those with him supported his opinion

"This is the very reason zero never allow you make any major decision, your judgement are always clouded with your ego"

Everyone kept quiet at Sarah words, they all know Sarah is zero personal confidant but Phil is the second in command and his reaction to comparison had been seen numerous times in the past

The one thing he hates most is what Sarah had just done, noe everyone is wondering what his reaction would be

Phil was silent for a good while, increasing the tension in the room, the imaginary air seems to have frozen in place

*sigh*

"You seems to forget something Sarah" Phil finally broke the silence with everyone feeling relief he didn't take it personal this time

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

After all, Sarah is zero personal confidant, if he is rash, he might incur zero wrath, she might have been paying blind eyes to his actions but this would question her authority if she didn't react

"And what is that" Sarah asked filled with confidence that Phil won't go overboard, but his next action proved her wrong

Phil hand twist and turn and the next minute an energy blaster was in view, it happens so fast in a span of few seconds that Sarah had no time to react

*phew*

A large hole had been blown in Sarah head, her lifeless body fell to the ground, dying the ground with fluid of her mechanical Brain

"You forgot Ai can die too" Phil answer over Sarah dead body on the ground, his voice and seriousness sent chill down the mechanical spine of the others as they all sank back into their sit quietly in fear

"Does anyone still which to go against my orders, we all know the rule to insubordination in our group

A bitter lesson had been taught to this thing that had forgotten its place" gesturing at Sarah dead body

The other shook their head, indicating they would follow his order,"good " he nodded

"Send my order to those at the the east camp, tell them to attack the east entrance with the mechanical spider drones

The Gaia would be too busy with a counter measure for that mecha in the south, this is a perfect opportunity to strike

Once the east succeeded in breaking in, we and those at the west would launch an attack at the same time"

One of those at the table quickly went into action, communicating Phil order to those at the east camp

..........

Somewhere at the east, a dessert area left with only destroyed building and infrastructure, sound of machine began resound from within

Few moments later, over two hundred spider drone emerged from this destroyed building, armed with heavy gun and rocket blaster

Each the size of an armored car, they all were Marching toward Gaia empire, their speed no less than that of a race bike

..........

Those at the government house are still over the compacted issue they had on ground, a mecha the couldn't take down

Their system hacked into and the masses acting up, forcing them to tread both with care and brute force to keep the peace within

Dispatching enhanced soldiers and drone to patrol the cities and street, while hacker on their side is trying to gain back control of their broadcast and surveillance system

So the whole place is a mess, just then one of the monitor began beeping, gardening everyone's are back to the screen

"Don't tell me" one of the official said when he saw the display on the screen, other nodded mentally

Immediately the three absolute ruler of Gaia projection came back on, they set their eyes on the monitor and frowned

"They want to attack from the east too" one of them spoke in annoyance

"Its much expected, we know her nature, she won't rest until everything is gone and she get what she wants" another answered

"She just doesn't know where to drew the line" the last spoke under his breath with gritted teeth's

"Seems like we would have to use it to take care of this problems, we can't let this escalate any further" he added with the others two agreeing with him

"We the water nation would handle the spider drone from our end, I'll leave the mecha to you from the air nation"

The leader at the center spoke and his projection went off, the other two nodded and went offline too

Those in the room began feeling pity for the old world, if they hadn't push too hard, the leaders won't have result in us in those

But now that is had come to this, there is no turning back, all that is left is sit back and watch the show

Luckily the broadcast is still airing, so everyone can witness the greatness of air confederation

Threaten any of the three nations of Gaia, the other two would come at you, they should blame themselves for been poor and weak, allowing that bitch to drag them down with her

.......

At the east sea area between Gaia and the old world, the water began to sway and turned turbulence, as if something want to pull out from it

And it did, A huge automatic sleek and silver blaster, with a long big barrel, cylindrical tube that extends out from the main body of the weapon and series of vents and intakes would line the barrel, drawing in seawater and filtering out the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

The hydrogen would then be compressed and stored in a small tank, while the oxygen would be released back into the sea.

A simple trigger would activate the weapon, releasing a steady stream of pure hydrogen. The hydrogen would ignite on contact with oxygen in the air, creating a hot, sustained blast of energy that could cut through almost anything. With a never-ending supply of seawater, it could fire indefinitely.

The Hydronium Blaster, a device that harnessing the power of hydrogen bonding.

the force that holds water molecules together, by using a special catalyst to break these bonds, it release the stored energy in the form of a powerful blast.

The energy is so powerful that it can cut through steel, concrete, and even diamond.

At the same time a outside space a satellite looking like an immense array of mirrors and lenses, suddenly move, changing its orbit location as it slow set itself over the South side of the old world

This satellite is known as the Heliobeam, It collect and concentrate the sun's rays, focusing them into a single, intense beam of energy. The beam would be so powerful that it could melt through even the thickest layers of armor, melt through solid rock and even vaporize metal. It could also be focused on specific targets, making it a precision weapon. The satellites is completely self-sufficient, collecting and storing solar energy to power themselves.

"The annihilator target sensors had just picked up a signal coming from above is, its seem like we are been locked on" cyia voice broke the silence that had been exiting in the room after her little back story

"Huh"
