BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

The group was ready to spring into action. The plan was to infiltrate the area and steal a warship.

That was their ticket to crossing the sea and reach Hin, where the blackguards had their base.

However, before they could make their move, three critical tasks needed to be completed, of which Erik had to take care of two.

First, they had to gain the information needed to operate the warship and use its advanced defense systems. Without this knowledge, even if they stole the vessel, they would be rendered helpless in the open waters.

Sure, there was always the chance for the Chimaeric Demons shapeshifting into some kind of sea thaid. But that was if their ship didn\'t get ripped open by one of them before they could do

so.

Erik knew nothing about fighting in open water. Damn, he knew nothing about fighting in water at all. This meant the Chimaeric Demons were in the same situation, and that was problematic, almost in the same way of them having to cross the ocean from the sky, where they could be easily spotted by the enemy, and that was if flying thaids didn\'t spot them first. There was a limit to what Erik could do against them, especially if they were as strong as the bird that made its nest on the Eldraith mountain range.

Second, and equally crucial, was the need to sabotage the enemy\'s communication system. By disrupting their communication system, the group could prevent the enemy from alerting other ships at sea and coordinating an attack against them.

That needed to be done with a different virus, and that was because, if they first got found out, they would lose a great advantage.

Besides, Erik planned on planting just a local virus so that the enemy wouldn\'t suspect there was another one in their general system.

Both of these tasks had to be made by Erik. The first was simple, since the young man just had to inject this information into his brain.

The second was slightly harder, or, to be correct, longer. Erik made the system create a virus that would control these whole docks.

This would prevent the usage of any device and prevent Hinian troops from sending information about the stolen ship to the others.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The last and third task they had to accomplish, the one the Chimaeric Demons were in charge of, was to ensure the ships currently docked at the harbor were destroyed or rendered unusable, preventing immediate chase. All of this was aside from the central task, which was to steal one of the ships.

Everyone was waiting for Erik\'s orders.

With a nod from Erik, the group closed their eyes and focused their mana, channeling it through their neural links.

In a matter of seconds, their bodies shrank, their shapes morphing into those of small, inconspicuous flies.

Erik and June took to the air, buzzing towards the command center, while the Chimaeric Demons spread out.

<Remember, everyone, team A needs to wait for my signal before destroying the other ships. Also, team B must take control of the target ship as soon as possible. Turn into the enemy, leave the corpses hidden; we will take care of them once we are out in the open sea. Is everything clear?>

<Yes, Master.>

As they flew, Erik and June navigated through the docks\' sky, their wings propelling them forward with surprising speed.

They went past guards, unnoticed, also thanks to the bustle of the docks. The command center stood ahead.

Meanwhile, the Chimaeric Demons zipped around, heading towards their targets. Some headed for the fuel barrels that were being loaded onto the ships, while others sought the ships\' engines, aiming to disable them from within.

The Chimaeric Demons landed on the ships\' decks, scurrying into crevices and vents, searching for something they could exploit.

Once inside, they prepared and waited for Erik\'s signal.

Erik and June approached the command center. They flew through an open window, and inside, they were greeted by the sight of many officers and soldiers hunched over consoles and screens displaying various data streams.

<It looks like they are busy.>

<Yes, master. I think Becker did something big, based on how they are reacting to the situation.>

<Then that\'s good. I can\'t wait for these fuckers to leave Frant. I think I will do something about it once we reach Hin.>

<What were you thinking? If I may ask, of course.>

<Didn\'t you do it already?>

<Yes. Sorry, Master.>

Erik took the equivalent of a mental sigh. <I was thinking of replacing their leaders with Chimaeric Demons. I\'m curious to know what the blackguards will think once they see their allies retreating. >

<If we really are going to do this, shouldn\'t we do the same with the other countries?>

<Yeah... For sure they work with the blackguards, but since they hadn\'t sent troops here, which I think is something they will do in the near future, I didn\'t think it was necessary. However, if we want to reclaim the Mur continent, we can\'t do this alone... Besides, I want to make sure that Liberty... No, Frant... is protected against these fuckers. >

Erik remained silent for a second.

<I think humanity needs to unite... June. We don\'t know what will be on the Mur continent... Maybe... Maybe I won\'t be strong enough for what\'s coming... >

<We will be ready... Master.>

Navigating through the room, Erik and June arrived at the main computer terminal. Erik could get access from any computer, but most were already occupied. This was the only free one.

They landed on the keyboard, their compact forms dwarfed by the keys.

<Keep your eyes open, June.>

<Yes, master.>

It was at that moment that Erik mentally turned to the biological supercomputer.

<When you want.>

<Yes.>

The AI immediately connected to the device and started sending and receiving the data. Some

time passed.

<Are you done yet?>

<Yes, it\'s just that these guys increased security.>

<Any idea why?>

<Not really; it is not specified anywhere in the data I already have access to. However, I think

it might be because they learned you can access their computers, or maybe they simply fear hacking attacks. Regardless, the defense system here is much more sophisticated than usual.>

A couple minutes more passed, and finally, the biological supercomputer got access to the

files.

<I\'m done.>

As the AI downloaded the data and injected them into Erik\'s brain, the AI uploaded the virus it

had prepared beforehand.

That was going to be controlled by the biological supercomputer until they were within the docks\' space.

The malicious code wormed its way through the enemy\'s systems, latching onto every single device there. Erik wanted the biological supercomputer to be through and leave nothing to

chance.

<I\'m done. When you want, we can leave.>

<Yes. Just give me a moment to see if the Chimaeric Demons are done with their

preparations.>

Erik closed his compound eyes, or at least did something that was equivalent to that, and activated his instability brain crystal power.

Instantly, his mind expanded, reaching out through mana to search for his clones\' minds. His consciousness connected with theirs, each clone\'s thoughts and status becoming clear to him.

<Are you done?>

<Master, we are ready. Everything is set.>

<We are waiting for your signal.>

<What about Amber and the others?>

<The crates with Amber, Mira, and Emily have been brought inside the ship. They are safe and

ready for transport.>

<Has the ship been taken?>

<Yes, sir, but not all the crew had been slain. We will act as soon as you order. The ship is ready

for departure.>

<Excellent work, everyone.>

Erik and June left the command center and headed for the ship. Soon after, they arrived on top

of the deck. Erik was thinking about the plan. He was still in time to stop everything.

The best thing would have been to steal the ship when it was already crossing the sea; the

problem was that this was a tremendous opportunity to destroy the enemy fleet, or at least

part of it.

Destroying so many ships was going to create huge trouble for Hin and help Frant\'s forces. Reinforces would be able to only come from Etrium, and that would not be as fast as with a

ship since the mercenaries needed to come here on foot.

In the end, he decided the best thing to do would be to go on with the plan.

<Turn the ship engine on.>

The vessel moved on the water.

<Destroy everything. System, activate the virus.>

Multiple explosions then rang out in the area, shattering the stillness. The blasts echoed

through the docks, causing confusion and even panic among the enemy soldiers. People scrambled for cover, unsure of where the next explosion might occur. The air was thick with smoke and the smell of burning materials, making it difficult to breathe. Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene, but the situation remained tense and dangerous.
