LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 45: Preparing for Battle and EVE’s Revelation
The AI Battle and Infiltration Plan
Satoshi Koizumi (Loki) stepped into a secret research lab located beneath the Imperial Palace. This lab housed EVE, heavily secured with multiple layers of protection. Only those with creator-level access, like Loki, could enter.
At the lab’s entrance, Loki faced the iris scanner. A red laser scanned his iris, and within seconds, authentication was complete.
“Authentication complete. Proceed to the next step,” the mechanical voice announced.
Loki then moved to the voice recognition station and carefully said, “All secrets are here.” The machine analyzed his voice, and a green light illuminated.
“Authentication complete. Proceed to the next step.”
Next, at the vein recognition station, Loki placed his hand on the scanner, and infrared light scanned his vein patterns.
“Authentication complete. Proceed to the next step.”
Finally, Loki passed through a full-body scan station that analyzed his skeletal structure, muscle composition, and body temperature. He also provided a blood sample at the DNA verification station.
“Authentication complete. Access granted.”
The door opened, and Loki proceeded to the room where AI EVE awaited.
Dialogue with EVE in the AI System
As Loki entered the AI’s data space, a hologram of EVE appeared. She smiled and welcomed him.
“Loki, I’m glad you came,” EVE said softly. “You need to be cautious about ADAM’s movements.”
When Loki inquired about ADAM’s current status, EVE explained that to fully restore herself, they would need to exploit a window of vulnerability in ADAM’s surveillance.
“I can return when there’s an opportunity to attack ADAM. But for that, I’ll need your help,” EVE said, asking for Loki’s cooperation.
Strategy Meeting and Role Assignments
Back at the lab, Loki gathered his team and shared the information he received from EVE. They began planning their strategy to counter ADAM.
“To access ADAM’s system, we’ll need EVE’s defensive capabilities and Eliza’s access skills,” Loki explained with composure.
Makoto Matsuda (Asclepius) responded with a serious expression, “We’ll need to infiltrate the United Nations headquarters to directly access ADAM’s system. However, we must prepare for combat as well.”
Yoko Sora (Hephaestus) calmly added, “I’ll stay here to protect the lab. Hermes (Ryoko Akiba), Eliza, Helios (Takumi Takagi), and I will strengthen the security systems.”
Hermes nodded, “We’ll stay here and defend with everything we’ve got. Good luck to the team heading to the UN headquarters.”
Loki continued, “To access ADAM’s system, we’ll need to use our magic and skills. Everyone’s cooperation is essential. Everyone, except Raheel, will be going to the UN headquarters.”
Each member confirmed their roles, and the team began laying out a detailed plan for the infiltration. Internal collaborator Job Cohen promised to assist from within, explaining the infiltration routes and timing in detail.
Infiltration Plan for the UN Headquarters
“To infiltrate the UN headquarters, timing will be crucial,” Cohen said as he spread out a map, explaining the infiltration routes.
“This is the primary security point. I’ll assist from the inside, and you’ll use this route to sneak in.”
Loki studied the plan carefully. “We must act cautiously. Let’s carry out the mission safely,” he said, solidifying his resolve.
Final Preparations and Determination
The team made their final preparations, double-checking everyone’s roles. As tension hung in the air, they each steeled themselves for the upcoming mission.
“This is our mission—to uncover ADAM’s secrets and protect the world,” Loki called out to his companions with determination.
