LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 25: Unexpected Trials
A New Foe
As ADAM’s warning message flashed across the monitor, tension filled the room as Satoru (Loki) and his team stared at the screen.
“Unidentified energy signals detected. All systems are now on high alert.” Satoru furrowed his brow.
“What’s happening now?” Satoru muttered under his breath.
“Something big is definitely stirring,” Tomomi (Minerva) said, her voice laced with anxiety.
Investigation and Preparation
Kagaya (Prometheus) immediately began analyzing the data displayed on the monitors.
“This energy signal isn’t normal… It’s showing an unusual pattern,” he observed.
“We need to prepare our defenses immediately,” Masato (Asclepius) said firmly.
“Everyone, return to the lab and check your equipment. We need to be ready for whatever this new threat is,” Satoru commanded, urgency in his tone.
Facing an Unknown Enemy
Back in the lab, the team utilized their specialized skills to devise a plan. Misa (Gaia) investigated the nature of the energy reaction from a biological standpoint, while Ryoko (Hermes) worked on fortifying the security systems to prevent a potential cyberattack.
“This type of energy… I’ve never seen anything like it. It doesn’t match anything in nature,” Misa said, analyzing the data.
“Could it be interference from the other world?” Kagaya suggested.
“Are you saying the power from that realm is seeping into our reality?” Li (Vishnu) exclaimed in surprise.
Forming New Alliances
During his investigation, Sui (Icarus) reached out to external contacts and strengthened their collaboration with international scientific teams.
“I’ve established stronger ties with international scientists. This will allow for smoother information sharing,” Sui reported.
“If the other world’s power is indeed affecting the real world, then our research is going to become even more crucial,” Satoru said with determination.
An Unexpected Attack
Suddenly, an explosion rocked a section of the research facility, triggering alarms and throwing the team into chaos.
“What was that?!” Satoru shouted, as the entire team scrambled to respond.
Emergency Response
Ryoko rushed to the security terminal, swiftly checking the system for breaches.
“We’re under attack! The facility’s defense systems have been activated,” she confirmed.
“Everyone, we’re in emergency mode! Secure the perimeter and eliminate the intruders!” Kagaya ordered as the team prepared for battle.
A Battle with Intruders
In the facility’s corridors, black-armored drones swarmed toward the team, launching an assault. Satoru and Masato quickly established a defensive position while the others prepared to engage.
“Who are these micro drones?!” Li shouted as he dodged their attacks.
“I don’t know, but they’re heavily armed. Stay sharp!” Satoru yelled as he fended off the drones.
Unleashing New Skills
During the battle, the team began using the new abilities they gained in the other world to turn the tide against the drones.
“With this power…” Satoru unleashed a burst of lightning, frying several drones instantly.
“Let’s show them what we’re capable of!” Tomomi summoned a sword of light, slashing through the enemies with precision.
Avoiding Disaster
Working together, the team successfully repelled the drones and secured the facility. Though shaken, they managed to minimize the damage from the explosion and confirmed that everyone was safe.
“It looks like we managed to hold them off,” Masato said, wiping sweat from his brow.
“But the real battle starts now. We need to figure out ADAM’s intentions and come up with a plan,” Satoru urged his comrades.
Preparing for the Next Trial
With the immediate threat neutralized, the team regrouped and began strategizing for the next challenge. It was clear that the interference from the other world had real-world consequences, and they needed to understand its full impact to prepare.
“We need to remain on high alert from now on,” Tomomi said, her resolve strengthening.
“With all our strengths combined, we’ll overcome this trial,” Satoru declared confidently, rallying his team to face the unknown.
