Chapter 1584 Counterattack Against Diamondz -Part 29
"Hahaha... Did you hear that commotion coming from the bottom? It looks like they might be having it worse than us?" Diaz said as she peeked through the window and saw the chaos happening at the window. "Looks like they really had it worse than us."
"Though that does not mean we are not pulling out the weight for the team," Page said as she slammed Edmond Diamondz onto his table as his consciousness and cyberware systems within his brain were being taken hostage by the medic herself. Jin had never known what a beast he and Old Fammet had recreated but they should be thankful that she was loyal to a fault to the current team.
If Edmond Diamondz had his way, he would already have called upon the Mechanoids which Jin and the other two Grey Bears were fighting into his office right now to defeat the threat. Hell, it might even be possible to get the newest prototype that Edmond's research team had been working on currently to his office right away and beat those rascals.
However, all of those functions were currently not working solely because of one particular person. Page.

For some reason, her Mechanoid Class as a Medic had been over construed. In fact, if Old Flammet were to properly discern her properties, she might have been a brand new type of class on her own. Even the spy and assassin do not meet the match considering her specifications. The only thing that could have a name for her current class was Manipulator.
"Get him to sign the contract that Jin told us to bring. That way we can stop the fighting." Yinn said as she and Lynn stood guard at the door to watch for any other potential enemies coming to aid the CEO of Diamondz.
"You think you will get away from this?" Edmond's breaths were rapid as Page squashed his face into the dining plate which he had been partaking in earlier on for breakfast.
"Not really, but you would not live to see the tale considering how your minions had already been the topic of discussion in the city. With your current headquarters evicted due to the false fire alarm, I do not see how are you going to do damage control. " Page said.
"Eh. I think he might live, just no more fanciful breakfasts and alluring secretaries to deal with all his bullshit." Diaz said as she gave a nod to the secretary who seemingly decided to change sides at the very last minute. Page might have been the one suppressing Edmond Diamondz's current cyber ware systems but it would not have gone so smoothly without the aid of the secretary who eventually backstabbed him by giving her the headstart needed to hijack it the moment the Grey Bears entered the room.
"I doubt it will be big news though." Lynn chimed in as she leaned calmly at the side of the door while rubbing the wounds she had received throughout the entire journey up to find Edmondz. "The Mechanoids he had created as what we see from the research facility might have been just the tip of the iceberg. He probably has more at secluded sites."
"I have stopped the purging of the database, so we can have some information for the System to assess." Page relayed that information through the System Chat to prevent it from being known by the people around them, especially Edmond. Also with that in mind, she 'coerced' Edmond to slowly place his digital and physical signature onto that unknown contract that was lying right beside his face. Once that was done, this whole entire episode against Diamondz might finally come to an end.
"Do you think we should break radio contact and see how they are doing? After all, we are more or less done right here." Diaz asked Yinn, who was the current leader of their team.
"We probably should be dismantling that prototype we saw in the research facility..." Lynn blurted out through the System Chat but everyone knew that the prototype was something that they could not handle by themselves even with Lynn's unique powers.
The thing they saw was an incomplete prototype and if they had known any better, it was definitely more ferocious than a Tri-Rex Mechanoid with offensive powers off the chart while possessing incredibly sturdy armour of the gorilla Mechanoid that Jin and the others had fought before. In fact, all of those Mechanoids that Jin defeated were merely studies to ensure that the prototype Edmond was going to produce was far superior to anything they had ever seen in the entire simulation.
If the Variant Dungeons were any indication, this could possibly be the first man made boss monster that had ever been created if the prototype had been completed.
A Crystal Dragon Mechanoid.
In Edmond's head, he had been cursing at the incompetent fools that were handling the prototype as well as the overall situation. Upon reading the contract that was right beside him, the CEO of Diamondz knew that they were those soldiers that had been protecting the Mountain Workshop where Old Flammet resided. Those reports of them being harmless had been repeatedly shown because of their background despite their recent achievements and yet they were the ones that had been ear-marked by his veteran commanders a few days back to be considered a possible anomaly to the entire operation.
Edmond had never thought of this group of soldiers to be excelling at survival and even managed to defeat the toughest of Mechanoid Guards to reach his dining hall. It was a coordinated ambush which gave him no time to even react let alone grasp for air when the knife was at his throat and the hijack of his cyber ware began.
But the cheek of his secretary to backstab him after all he had done for her.
The only thing left was undoubtedly the prototype that had been left in the research lab and even though it was deduced that it was incomplete even by Yinn and even made sure that completion was not possible by sabotaging the consoles, Edmond actually have remote rights to activate it right away just as how he did it on the 35th floor.
The major difference between that 35th floor activation and this prototype activation was that it needed a 'soul' for it to be completed. And being the narcissistic CEO that he has always been, he had previously prepared a plan to upload his consciousness into the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid so that he can be one with such a magnificent and yet rulebreaking Mechanoid.
The only problem was every time a subject had been uploaded in that particular Mechanoid, their consciousness will lose to the inner workings of the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid especially when it was infused with literal dragon parts from the Variant dungeons. The incomplete work was mainly due to finding the right soul to govern the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid and subsequently allowing Edmond to take hold of its reins.
Yet now, it seems like the only way to survive was to be with the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid. That was definitely much better than signing a death contract with the Grey Bears. Hence, he pressed an emergency button right beneath his cuffs, forcing a manual override of his own cyber ware and uploading himself into the monster.
But to Page and the rest, they had no idea what was going on, thinking that Edmond had taken his own life... only to find the entire building started to rumble.
