"Damn it... we got scattered?"
Looking at everyone who had disappeared at so point, Yutsuki gritted her teeth in self-bla.
Facing Marina suddenly summoning an army of tens of thousands of clones, everyone, including herself, instinctively blanked out for a mont due to shock. Taking advantage of this gap, Marina's clones surged forward, relying on a ferocious tide of people like a river to scatter everyone apart.
Now, everyone was dispersed to different places in the data managent level.
"However... this is the true appearance of the Fraxinus main computer after stripping away the decorations."
Looking around at the scenery, Yutsuki couldn't help but sigh.
This was no longer that dark and cold Demon King's Castle, but an ocean of data assembled from countless binary strings, with no concept of direction or distance, seemingly endless.
Although the appearance was completely different, it felt very similar to the space called the 'Neighboring World' where Yutsuki stayed before descending to the real world. However, the difference was that Yutsuki's movents were not restricted.
Bang—!
Yutsuki tilted her head. The next mont, a pitch-black magic bullet popped out of nowhere, brushing past Yutsuki's cheek with a hissing sound of breaking wind.
"Ara ara~ Is it okay to be so careless in front of the enemy? Hacker."
Laughter echoed in this space. Countless Marina surrounded Yutsuki from all directions.
These were all replicas created by Marina using her own data as a blueprint and borrowing administrator permissions. It was different from Kurumi's thod of summoning herself from past tilines as clones, but the results were similar.
Well, let's try one shot first. Yutsuki aid the arcade token pinched between her fingers at Marina's clones.
"Railgun!"
Wrapped in blue-white lightning, the arcade token turned into an orange-yellow ray, shooting towards the Marina in front of her at over three tis the speed of sound.
"Hehe~ It's useless."
To Yutsuki's killing move, Marina gave a very relaxed laugh. Standing in place, she neither blocked nor dodged.
Subsequently, as if an invisible mirror appeared, the continuously approaching Railgun was refracted away like a beam of light. After being refracted back and forth among the Marinas like this multiple tis, the Railgun reached its range limit and disappeared as the arcade token lted.
Yutsuki couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. You have to know, a Railgun is not a laser cannon. It's impossible for it to undergo refraction phenona like an optical weapon.
"Spatial distortion... I see. This is also the real reason why everyone was scattered."
"Ab! So! Lute! Ly! Correct!"
The Marinas smiled and nodded.
Although as replicas, the clone Marinas should be weaker than the original Marina. However, within the "core" of the computer space, Marina as the administrator could interfere with the space here.
"Well, the attacks are going to continue."
Several highly lethal magic bullets appeared around Marina. One person is fine, but after multiplying by the number of people, the quantity of magic bullets beca so large it made one's scalp tingle.
This really is an unexpected trump card.
Looking at the sea of Marina clones piled up, Yutsuki couldn't help but think in her heart.
At the sa ti, Tohka and Origami, Kotori and Yoshino, Yuzuru and Kaguya, Kurumi and Miku. The personnel of each group were in different areas of this space, suffering attacks from the Marinas.
It feels kind of like assigning pairings... Well, I'm probably overthinking it.
However, compared to the uncountable sea of people here, the number of Marina clones Tohka and the others encountered was only around a hundred. So the pressure they received was still within a bearable range.
Obviously, Marina intended to isolate Yutsuki, concentrate the majority to deal with her, and defeat Yutsuki relying on nurical advantage.
Under the Marinas' almost airtight, fierce attacks, Yutsuki used all her strength just to perform evasive maneuvers, having absolutely no room to counterattack.
A smile of certain victory appeared on the faces of all the Marinas.
"Even a Hacker would find this quantity tricky to deal with."
"As long as we defeat you, the virus net surrounding this world will disappear, right."
"And then, we can make everyone here disappear."
"So, please die—Hacker!"
Suddenly, Yutsuki felt the surrounding air beco as heavy as if rcury had been poured into it. Imnse gravity shrouded Yutsuki, making her unable to move.
The next mont, countless magic bullets poured down like a torrential rain. If these hit, Yutsuki would absolutely turn into an indistinguishable puddle of flesh and blood.
However, there wasn't a trace of panic on Yutsuki's face.
"Analysis complete..."
"Hahaha—What a pity, it is our vic...!?"
The laughter stopped abruptly, leaving the Marinas staring wide-eyed. Countless magic bullets seed to hit thin air, passing straight through Yutsuki's body without bringing her the slightest harm.
It was as if Ryougi Yutsuki and Marina's clones were not in the sa dinsion at all.
"Is this... the Hacker's optical deflection?"
The Marinas started looking around, attempting to find Yutsuki, who had changed positions without them noticing.
"Incorrect."
From the "virtual image" of Yutsuki that was currently being focused fired by the Marinas, she gently shook her head.
"This is different from the real world, because it's direct perception by the brain. I cannot create virtual images by manipulating light rays physically. I just copied you, and rewrote the spatial information near ."
"Rewriting spatial information... in just such a short ti."
Looking at the unbelievable expressions on the faces of the Marina clones. Yutsuki herself didn't feel she had done anything amazing.
"Ultimately, you guys are just using the Territory deployed by Fraxinus's Realizer to attack . The gravity enhancent and magic bullets just now were actually just applications of a Wizard's Territory. Unfortunately, before coming to this world, I happened to review this kind of knowledge once."
Yutsuki shrugged and said with a look of not caring.
You have to know, before being sealed by Shido, Ryougi Yutsuki spent most of her ti in the real world 'interacting' with Wizards.
"Impossible..."
Reversing an almost despairing situation in just a split second. Although the original body had also judged that Ryougi Yutsuki wouldn't be dealt with so easily, for the Marinas present, it was truly unacceptable.
The Marina clones gritted their teeth unwillingly and clamored.
"Don't get too cocky! Hacker—"
Marina's clones t Yutsuki's eyes and couldn't help but shiver.
The girl's lustrous and moving eyes, like amber, were currently suffused with bone-chilling coldness.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to waste ti with you... The Marina I'm looking for is not you guys."
Calling herself Hacker, having neither a feeling of intimacy nor rejection. Her whole body was filled only with ruthless and icy killing intent, executing killing orders like a machine. Undoubtedly, this was not the Marina that Yutsuki was familiar with.
These clones of Marina, although they perfectly inherited Marina's appearance, knowledge, and mories, did not inherit Marina's emotions.
The real Marina was not here.
Blue white lightning snakes, as thick as a child's arm, began dancing around Yutsuki. Her brown bangs fluttered gently.
In this boundless computer space, a dark cloud surfaced above Yutsuki. The leaping lightning echoed with the flashing electricity on Yutsuki.
"—True Lightning Strike!"
Hundreds of millions of volts of lightning struck down from the sky, like a churning angry dragon, devouring everything around Yutsuki completely.
With just this single strike, at least five hundred of Marina's clones around Ryougi Yutsuki were taken out.
In the distance, the Marina clones who hadn't stepped into the attack range of the lightning strike gasped in unison.
Yutsuki slowly exhaled, her face returning to calmness.
"I'm a bit worried about the situation with Shido and Maria, and I must also go see Marina. So—get out of my way!"
