Chapter 242 - Chapter 242: The Shaking Bunker

Nier: automata World, Forest Kingdom.

A dimensional portal opened quietly, and Fujino slowly stepped out of it.

"The Forest Kingdom? I didn't expect it to be here."

Looking at the tall trees and steep rocks all around, these scenes perfectly matched the Forest Kingdom in her memories.

"Enemy! Enemy!"

Just as Fujino was thinking, a group of machine lifeforms equipped with mist and armor rushed out.

"Boring."

Fujino looked coldly at the machine lifeforms rushing toward her, activated her Mystic Eyes of Distortion, and in an instant, the group of machines was twisted into an iron ball.

"Almost forgot to leave one alive."

Fujino raised an eyebrow and kicked the iron ball on the ground with disdain; the tremendous force sent the iron ball directly through a massive rock.

"Enemy! Enemy!"

The huge commotion here also attracted the other machine lifeforms in the Forest Kingdom. Before long, a large number of machines emerged from all around, brandishing spears as they charged at Fujino.

Facing the incoming machine lifeforms, a gust of wind suddenly surged around Fujino.

Seventh Sense, Wind Manipulation Technique!

The gust of wind instantly turned into a massive tornado. The violent power of the tornado immediately sucked all the surrounding machine lifeforms into it, turning them into a pile of scrap metal under the powerful cutting force brought by the high-speed rotation of the tornado.

In the blink of an eye, Fujino's surroundings were filled with the remains of machine lifeforms, and the tornado dissipated.

Fujino waved her hand toward a corner, and a machine lifeform flew out from it, floating in front of her. This was a robot Fujino had specifically left behind.

The machine lifeform in front of her struggled incessantly, but it was useless against Fujino's power.

"Let me take a look at your network."

Fujino reached out toward the machine lifeform and pressed her hand directly onto the robot's round, metallic head.

Releasing her spiritual power, she flooded into the robot's data.

"Have the machine lifeforms in this Forest Kingdom disconnected from the network? If so, I'll just have to reconnect them myself."

With a thought, her spiritual power began to override the machine lifeform's data to reconnect to the machine network.

Soon, under Fujino's control, it connected to the machine network. However, what surprised Fujino was that the entire machine network was extremely calm, as still as stagnant water.

Although countless robots were connected to the network, there was not the slightest fluctuation on it. There wasn't even a single command; they were all acting according to the most basic instructions.

Fujino began to use her spiritual power to hack into machine lifeforms in different areas of the network.

The Flooded City, the Abandoned Factory, the Amusement Park, and so on.

Through the machine lifeforms connected to the network, Fujino witnessed the different scenes of this world, as well as a hidden plan deep within the machine network: the God Box that appeared in the later stages of the nier: automata world, the intelligent lifeform born from the machine network, and various data on the androids and the Lunar Bunker.

Withdrawing her spiritual power, Fujino crushed the machine lifeform in front of her with one hand.

"That was an unexpected surprise."

Fujino clapped her hands and smiled. After obtaining that android data from the machine network, Fujino could completely manufacture androids herself. Moreover, combining the android knowledge she learned from Touko and the Einzbern android technology, the current Fujino was confident in creating androids with strength not inferior to top-tier Heroic Spirits, even reaching A-rank in every attribute. Although this A was calculated according to the power levels of the Type-Moon World, it was still a very good attribute even in the Main God Space, surpassing a large number of Reincarnators right from the start.

"I remember A2's activity range is generally within the Forest Kingdom, right? Let's see if I can find her."

After speaking, Fujino's spiritual power covered the entire Forest Kingdom, but she did not find any traces of A2.

"Not here? Did she go to hunt machine lifeforms?"

Since she didn't find A2, Fujino gave up. She would run into her sooner or later anyway, so for now, she would go find 2B.

Extending her spiritual power, she began to reach outside the Forest Kingdom, soon covering a large area.

"Found her. But the plot has just begun, which is just right."

Fujino revealed a smile and used Heavenly Movement to head to the place where the plot began: the Abandoned Factory.

Above the Abandoned Factory, Fujino floated in the sky, looking down at the Abandoned Factory—or more accurately, looking at 9S's location within it.

"Forget it, I'll let you pursue the curiosity in your heart."

Having decided on a future ending for 9S, Fujino used Heavenly Movement again and appeared behind 9S.

"Unknown lifeform, scanning!"

The first to discover Fujino was 9S's Flight Support Unit.

Before the Flight Support Unit could finish scanning, Fujino slapped 9S, who hadn't reacted yet. Her spiritual power directly invaded 9S's data network, cutting off the connection between 9S, the Bunker, and the Flight Support Unit.

Then, Fujino directly modified 9S's data. Grabbing 9S's shoulder with one hand, Fujino threw him away. Fujino had already chosen a landing spot for 9S: on a continent that had never appeared in the entire nier: automata game, located on the other side of the ocean. There were basically no machine lifeforms there, so it could be considered a pure land, and there were also plenty of machine parts there, enough for 9S to be self-sufficient.

"Scan complete, identity confirmed: Human."

At this moment, the Flight Support Unit finally completed the scan of Fujino's identity.

Strictly speaking, Fujino was not a human, but disguising her aura as a human was extremely simple for her.

"Plan starting."

Fujino grabbed the Flight Support Unit flying in the air, again using her spiritual power to invade the Flight Support Unit's data, adding a fake activity log to its operation logs.

Forced to shut down and abandoned by 9S, then accidentally activated by Fujino, discovering Fujino's human identity, and then reporting to the Bunker.

The entire plan was basically seamless under Fujino's operation. Even if there were loopholes Fujino hadn't discovered, it didn't matter given Fujino's human identity.

Releasing her hand, Fujino withdrew her spiritual power and began waiting for the plan to proceed.

"Warning!!! Warning!!! Human detected. Initiate action plan immediately!!! Information sent to YoRHa Base!!! All androids operating nearby, please arrive at the coordinates as soon as possible!!!"

At this moment, on the Bunker outside Earth, several androids working stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the huge screen in front of them. On the screen was the image captured by the satellite of Fujino with the Flight Support Unit.
