Chapter 61: 61. Research 201: Level Breakthrough, bunker weaponization.
Nytri is making eggs from rune circle when suddenly a wave hits her, she falls on her butt as her body shakes. Nytri makes a creepy grin then burst into laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHA SO THIS IS WHAT KEPT ME BACK. No wonder the creeper could beat me. I've surpassed my limit. Next, I'll show them just what I can do HAHAHAHAHA" A clone touches Nytri's shoulder interrupting her maniacal laughter, "huh?" The clone is Clone5, she shakes her head as Nytri watches her, "What?"
Clone5 sighs, "Living in this place is starting to get to you." Nytri still has no clue. Clone5 continues, "You seem to be affected but since we're clones the environment isn't affecting us. Your nature is changing with each passing day, although small it's noticeable."
Nytri calms down and nods her head, she looks at the eggs. "Make sure to remind me who I am, so I don't lose myself." Clone5 nods and teleports to the lowest floor to continue what Clone6 was doing.
Nytri summons Clone6, "Good job me, you figured out a way for us to grow stronger. Now I don't have to worry about the pain from leveling up. Hehehaha- sorry, a bit hard not to laugh."
Clone6 gives Nytri a thumbs up, "You'll get over it." She teleports out of the room as she goes to the research room.
Nytri goes back to the eggs, by now she's made over 30 of them. "One's missing, it seems one variant survived. That's good." She smiles as she continues to make the eggs.
In the research room, Clone6 appears as she continues walking towards a box. The box is actually a carriage and it is undergoing tests to make it move without horses. Over to a corner of the room is Clone9, she seems to be absorbed into what she's making. Before Clone9 is a table, on it is a sword with metal and ores covering the table. Clone9 moves her hands and fingers as the metal moves and fuses with the sword making it a jagged-edged sword, she holds the sword as the edges start to move like a chainsaw.
Clone4 seems to be working on a cannon but it seems bigger than normal cannons, like really big like the kind seen on destroyer ships. Clone4 tinkers with it as it glows, "This should do nicely. Using EP from the environment to charge and fire, the rate of fire is should be good, 2 shots every 5seconds. The thermal regulators are working fine with a cooler, I also made a cockpit for a pilot. I should make smaller ones that fire faster than this one, not always will we face single targets." She gets back to work on her weapon. The space runes make the place bigger than it seems.
Clone3 is researching on armor, she has an empty armor standing before her as she uses wind runes to test its air resistance. "The armor is less resistant to air. I should sharpen the edges so it cuts through the wind. I can use runes to store spells in it and the helmet to control the entire armor. Hehehehe" Clone3 drools, she wipes her mouth. "The more I think about this the sweeter it gets."
Clone7 yells across the room, "Try not to eat it!"
Clone3 pouts, "I'm not gonna eat it. But I have to lick it to get poison on it hehehehe." She inches closer to the armor.....
The Survival team returns to the bunker, they move to the research room and start moving the weapons to the surface. They mount the cannons along the entrance, there are bigger cannons that can move on their own. All the weapons are considered part of the bunker so Nytri has absolute control over them, the bigger cannons are later improved to make panzers.
Nytri moves to the surface for the first time as she admires the entrance, "Not bad, not bad at all." The entrance of the bunker has 3 main cannons with 2 small cannons embedded into the sides of the walls in the entrance. Automata patrol that part as the golems stand still like statues, the cannons are a lot as it covers parts of the forest and some are even used to hunt prey that come close.
"The cannons would have been weak but with my ENERGY GENERATION and INFORMATION MAGIC skills, I managed to amplify the damage by 50 times. I doubt my armor can handle a shot from one of them. Still, this will draw attention to me but I've set it to attack the pests while it avoids the potential threats." Nytri goes into the forest, the forest which normally has monsters moving about have all been gunned down, the cannons have shields so they're the perfect weapons against them. Luckily none of the dangerous ones have showed up yet.
Nytri returns to the bunker after going around the area, "I seriously lack people. The variants haven't fully formed in the eggs yet. Once they're reborn I have to teach them everything that's happened, can't I skip that." She rubs her chin, then she felt stronger. "Hoo, looks like I leveled up. Anyway, I should be able to make the variants active in the DATA LAKE. I just have to change the place and make it like the bunker, I think they'll be able to move in the DATA LAKE." Nytri enters the bunker and goes to the nest room, she closes her eyes as she floats in the air. In the DATA LAKE, a lake of data is seen with Nytri hovering over it.
Nytri spreads her hands as the lake expands and lands are formed across the lake, the land spreads pretty far as the variants and undead appear on it, awake. All the multitude stare at Nytri as she stares back. "Success." She smiles then she addresses them. "Listen everyone, the last time most of you had bodies you were alive and it was in the dungeon. Luckily, you'll all get the chance to get your bodies back but, but this place is not like the dungeon. Over here, the strong live and the weak die. I'll make it possible to have access to my knowledge so you can also grow strong. We're going to become so powerful that we'll make those gods cower in fear, I'll show them what happens when the mess with me. I'll show them what fear truly is. But now's not the time for that, our opponent was a god. We have to become something greater than those self-proclaimed gods. As I made you, I expected to force my will on you but, that'd be too harsh. So, I'll give you a choice, I consider you all family, not slaves. You can choose to serve me or leave, I won't do anything. I know some of you are traumatized so if you don't want to find the bastard I'm okay with that." All her subordinates heard her but they choose to fight rather than run.
That's how her army starts to grow again.
