Chapter 4 Connection
Light instantly filled the entire world.
It was the courage from revenge and resistance, and the transfer of faith and dreams. The girls only felt that their vision was filled with a bright and familiar aura, and when they came to their senses…
Those original objects had disappeared.
In their place were weapons laid out on the ground – grenade launchers, pistols, scopes, charge rifles.
Although they looked different, Isumi’s body trembled, and she said:
“These… are weapons for defending against the ‘Heretical Structure Evolution Body’!”
“Huh?!”
“Precisely because they held the belief to fight to the end, even after being mutated into objects, everyone still wanted to contribute their last bit of strength.”
…
…
The girls were stunned.
As for Lonis, she felt a glimmer of moisture welling up in her eyes.
Although they could no longer turn back into humans, even so, the warriors still wanted to fight alongside their comrades until the very last moment in this way?
So…
…
“Comrades, let’s collect all the weapons and start preparing to head to the Command Center.”
“Mhm.”
“We must transmit the information from here, we must achieve victory in this battle!”
Lonis clenched her fist and said seriously.
Thus, with the assistance of the other companions, the girls loaded the weapons transformed from the warriors, as well as some other supplies and relics, onto the Time Shuttle.
Knowing the truth behind the fall of Fortress x-12, everyone felt even more united in their hatred for the enemy. Almost every girl was eager to reach the Command Center located on the moon and begin the formal combat.
However…
Only Elus’s brows were tightly knitted. She didn’t join the others’ excitement but stayed alone on the balcony, seeming to be lost in thought.
“Elus… what’s wrong?”
“Mm, little idiot, follow me.”
After speaking, Elus pulled Lonis into the bedroom…This scared Lonis, who thought Elus was going to do something to her again.
However, this black-haired girl merely said:
“The situation doesn’t feel right, little idiot. I think the enemy is much stronger than we imagined.”
“Eh, El-, Elus, you mean…”
“Therefore, we must now try to establish a heart connection. I need to know the form of connection between myself and Little Fox in order to designate the next combat plan and ensure everyone’s safety.”
“!”
Although the black-haired girl’s expression remained calmly beautiful, with a capable and cold aura, Lonis, who was familiar with Elus, knew this all too well.
Elus only showed this kind of expression when she truly felt something was wrong.
This meant…
Elus could no longer guarantee the safety of her companions as she had in the past.
After all, it was only natural.
Although Elus’s power was immense, and Lonis’s Rainbow Abyss Power was also miraculous, the current enemy was simply too unpredictable.
Lonis had never dared to imagine that humans could be transformed into objects in the past. And who knew what other dangers might exist later on.
Then…
…
“I… I understand, Elus. Should we try it now?”
“Mm, hold onto the heart connection. Don’t hesitate.”
“Mhm mhm!”
…
Having witnessed Eight-tailed Fox and Senior Isumi connect, and having had a small connection with Princess Cécile herself, Lonis was now quite skilled and less fearful.
But even so, she had not expected this…
“Ow, it hurts so much?”
“Lonis?”
…
Lonis felt a surge of electricity travel from her wrist, where she held the heart connection.
And how to describe it?
In the past, Lonis had been shocked by electricity many times, but the feeling was more like enjoyment than torment.
Her body trembled uncontrollably from the electricity, and sweat poured from her skin… It was like having a thoroughly satisfying workout, and the feeling was actually very comfortable!
But now, it was not like that.
Lonis’s current feeling was more like a normal human being electrocuted, her skin aching. In an instant, the images before Lonis’s eyes blurred.
But even so…
Lonis did not let go.
“Little idiot, what’s wrong? Are you encountering any problems?”
“No, I… I can do it.”
Lonis gritted her teeth. Or rather, if she hadn’t witnessed the warriors sacrificed at x-12, she might have trembled and chosen to retreat, trying the heart connection with Elus again next time.
But, after seeing the resolve of so many warriors, how could she possibly retreat?
The reason she felt the electric shock was actually because she was afraid, right? Afraid that her connection with Elus would be unable to save the world.
But…
There was no need for fear, no need to shrink back.
If this power was not enough, then continue training, continue working hard, and try to advance together with Elus in a more coordinated way.
So…
“Hold on until the end, Lonis!”
Black light exploded forth.
…

“Mm, we’ve detected a signal from Combat Headquarters. King Ruo Hui Gong says we can proceed directly to headquarters. However, before that, it’s best to go to Mars first…”
Zhisheng Luo took a deep breath and organized all the intelligence obtained from the contact.
The current situation on Earth was not optimistic. The threat was not just from the outside; there were also many risks from within humanity itself.
For example, robots.
According to the current combat situation, sending robots to guard fortresses was actually the method with the least sacrifice.
However, this approach also carried risks.
Because pure logic robots, whose operational rules came from code, were easily hacked by the power of the Supreme Civilization and turned into puppets of a higher civilization.
Therefore, many of the current robots were not robots in the usual sense but were composite beings called ‘dolls’. Their cores were not CPUs but special substances processed with biological power, and they did not strictly follow logic.
Some of this technology came from Yixiu technology, which the Supreme Civilization was unfamiliar with. It was precisely because of the fusion of technologies from two different higher civilizations that humanity now had the possibility to confront higher civilizations head-on, and not be instantly annihilated.
However, this also led to a problem.
The robot dolls also had self-awareness.
And the robots in the Third Space Station on Mars seemed to have a risk of rebellion?
If possible, headquarters hoped the girls could go there and resolve the problem that had occurred along the way.
