Chapter 215 The Creator Behind the Mimicry! The Harvester Civilization!
The drizzle of spring rain has been falling for several days in a row, and the dilapidated road has now been soaked by the rain and is covered with mud and potholes.

In this dark and moonless night, the best state is to curl up in the safe and comfortable bed, quietly listening to the white noise of raindrops hitting the ground outside.

But at this moment, the roar of engines and the noise of rotors suddenly broke the tranquility of this quiet place.

It turned out to be a small formation of fighter jets consisting of three Skyhawk shuttles, two Stormhawk gunboats, and one flapping-wing aircraft.

It was flying at a low altitude, rapidly heading towards Paris.

These fighter jets are all engraved with eye-catching and clear "LA" markings. It is obvious that this is the flight formation of the world's giant enterprise!

In order to keep a low profile as much as possible and reduce unnecessary impacts, Li Ang only selected less than 70 combatants for this operation.

There were no more than ten fighter jets.

These personnel are all the best fighters in the Iron Hands Legion.

They are elite soldiers carefully selected from three operations in the alien worlds of the universe. Their combat effectiveness is self-evident!

In this combat operation, Li Ang had no room for error.

Therefore, he had to bet on the most elite combat forces of the giant enterprise, just to make the final decision in this battle and integrate Omega into the matrix.

"Report, we are still 30 kilometers away from the Louvre in Paris and are expected to arrive in the area within 6 minutes!"

The driver's voice was heard in Li Ang's headset.

"Well, keep going."

"Yes!"

The dark night and continuous spring rain provided excellent cover for this flying formation.

From the moment they took off from the frontline base at the Star Gate until now, they had not been detected by the UDF defense forces on the ground, nor had they been attacked by any mimicry.

In a Storm Eagle gunboat, in the cabin that could accommodate 30 soldiers, various noises were constantly being made.

The roar of the gunboat's engine was mixed with the friction and collision sounds of various firearms, power armor and other metal devices.

Both sides of the cabin were filled with Astartes warriors wearing MarkX power armor, who were checking their weapons and equipment in an orderly manner.

These soldiers are all top-level "kings" in the Iron Hands Legion, and they usually serve as the absolute core combat personnel in their respective combat teams.

And today, they will serve as the sharpest blades of the giant enterprise and pierce directly into the heart of the mimic leader Omega!
As for Leon, he was sitting in a nearby ornithopter, observing the situation in the cabin with his personal bodyguard and corporate executive Morgan Blackhand.

Although he will not personally participate in the combat operations with V and others this time, in order to ensure the smooth execution of the operation, Li Ang needs to come to the front line for real-time supervision.

After all, Omega's abilities are too incredible, especially its blood, which can even give the infected the ability to [reset].

Leon suspected that Omega was the product of superluminal particles. There were many superluminal particles mixed in its blood, so it could "give" others the ability to "reset".

However, whether this operation mission is successful or not, it will not affect Leon's determination to defeat Mimicry.

At this moment, V, who was sitting in the engine room of the gunship, confirmed that the safety of his exclusive Frenzy Bomb Pistol was on, and then put it back into the holster on his right hip.

Then, he looked up at the holographic screen on the tactical helmet and determined the distance between the formation and the Louvre through the dynamic map information transmitted by the driver.

The crew members standing on both sides of the cabin are ready to open the cabin door at any time and deploy these soldiers to the designated combat area.

"Everyone! Please get ready!"

"Now it's time for your performance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scratching sound, and the doors on both sides of the fighter jet, which had not yet completely landed, were opened by the crew.

The Astartes warriors, wearing full power armor, appeared like dumplings, one after another, falling to the ground with a loud bang like small meteorites!
In order to cover the soldiers below in advance and enter the combat area in an orderly manner, the gunboats and shuttles in the air have aimed at the mimicry below and bombarded back and forth with machine guns and artillery.

boom--! !

The crisp sound of machine gun fire and deafening artillery fire suddenly rang out, one after another.

"Everyone."

Sitting firmly in the ornithopter in the sky, Leon spoke to the soldiers on this operation through the communication device connected to all the soldiers:

"You are the sharp blades of the world's giant companies and the elites of the Iron Hands. I won't say any more warm nonsense to you. I only ask two things of you-"

"First, win this battle and complete the mission."

"Second, crush any mimic bastards that try to stop you. I await your good news!"

Li Ang usually implements the principle of clear rewards and punishments and equal exchange to an impeccable level of fairness.

So there was no need for him to say much nonsense about returning victoriously and receiving a pay raise and improved benefits. These Astartes warriors only knew that they would get their share of the rewards after completing the mission.

[Guarantee to complete the mission——!!]

All the soldiers responded excitedly to Li Ang at the same time.

At the same time, many black mimics have poured into the combat area.

But under the cross-fire bombardment of the soldiers on the ground and the gunboats in the air, "fireworks" were ignited here in an instant!
The gorgeous flower of death exploded in the center of a large number of mimics.

Faced with the shooting and bombardment of the fighter jets, many mimics could only bury half of their bodies under the soil.

Then, using its core part, it continuously fired sharp spear bullets at the Astartes warriors.

boom!
A spear-pointed bullet suddenly hit a soldier, but with a thick ceramic steel shell, the bullet could not do anything to him.

The gunboats responsible for fire cover, taking advantage of their high altitude advantage, continuously poured artillery fire onto the ground.

boom--!
boom!
Another missile fell, and the Storm Eagle gunboat directly blew away the mimicry along with the muddy land.

The crew members standing on both sides of the cabin were also busy. They set up 7.62mm Vulcan Gatling guns and fired wildly at the mimicry on the ground.

At this moment, the mimics that were attacked by the giant enterprise troops were completely crushed by the firepower of this flying formation.

And Omega had never expected that there would be a human formation here before, so the mimicry defense here was not strong.

In less than a minute, the mimics in the area had suffered heavy casualties, but the number of mimics here was large enough that after one batch died, another batch would continue to take over.

Fortunately, with the rapid advancement of these gunboats and troops, the glass pyramid containing Omega is now within sight!
Not long after, the Astartes warriors arrived at the square area on the north side. Facing the target point only a stone's throw away, all the warriors excitedly shouted battle cries.

"Brothers, rush, rush, rush!"

In an instant, everyone began to fight separately according to the established plan.

"Jack, Reed, take your men to guard the west and south, don't let any mimic get close!"

V immediately gave instructions to Jack and others through the team voice.

His power armor is equipped with a matrix connection device, and this time he will personally carry out the "connection to the power grid" plan for Omega.

After receiving V's order, dozens of soldiers immediately divided into two teams and rushed to the west and south.

Soldiers from both sides occupied advantageous terrains and quickly established cross-fire lines, maximizing the killing and blocking effects.

At the same time, the gunboats, flapping-wing aircraft, and shuttles that followed were also hovering over the Louvre, providing fire support to the ground forces.

"David! Have your men guard here. V and I will continue to head to the target location. Is that clear?"

Johnny Silverhand shouted to David Martinez beside him.

"understand!"

Immediately, under the leadership of David, the last small group of Astartes warriors were divided into two groups, with one part staying here.

Build the last solid line of defense for V.

The other part is to cover V to reach the final destination, the location of the glass pyramid!

At this moment, the glass pyramid building, which should have been bright and shining and hung with various works of art, has become dilapidated due to the invasion of mimicry.

The roaring water flowed over the broken glass and fell onto the cracked floor tiles, forming a waterfall.

Soon, V and his group moved quickly inside the pyramid building with hurried steps.

They remained fully focused, moving forward cautiously in turns, and from time to time, reporting the latest situation here to Leon.

After a while, they saw the ultimate target of this operation, the core brain of mimicry - Omega, in the underground parking lot area about ten meters below!

"Report, we have determined the location of Omega and are about to carry out the matrix access mission."

Even though victory was just around the corner, V did not slack off or get excited at all because of the impending success.

[Okay, continue to complete the task. ]

Leon, who remained as calm as V, simply responded.

It's moments like this that require us to stay calm. Don't pop champagne at halftime, or else something bad will definitely happen!

Here, after V confirmed that there were no dangerous factors below, he immediately asked the rest of the soldiers to follow him and jump into the parking lot.

This group of Astartes warriors are all big metal cans with exaggerated physical fitness and protected by MarkX power armor.

Therefore, this jumping height is completely insignificant to them.

No additional assistance from a sling is needed, just jump down and you're done!

The moment they landed, the soldiers immediately dispersed, each holding a gun and guarding, looking around. V couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that there were only many abandoned vehicles and no other mimics nearby.

Fortunately, this place is not like the outside, where there are crowded and blocked black mimicry everywhere, otherwise it would be difficult for them to carry out the next action.

Then, V took down the matrix access point that had been installed long ago. It was a device that looked like a chip, but the access point was actually a neural cable.

This special "bio-cable" is specifically designed to connect to creatures like Omega.

V used this thing before to forcibly integrate "Eva" on the planet Pandora into the matrix power grid.

This device can even extract the planet's consciousness Eva, let alone Omega, an ordinary life species.

After taking out the matrix device, V led Johnny and others to slow down their pace and continue moving towards the marked target area.

Soon, they saw a huge puddle in front of them. There was a creature emitting bursts of dark blue light. It was Omega!
There was also an Alpha Mimic nearby, patrolling vigilantly around the extremely deep puddle.

"Great, it looks like we've come to the right place!"

There was a hint of excitement in V's voice. As long as they found the target, the success of the operation would not be far away.

V, who had long been accustomed to all kinds of big scenes and life-and-death moments, did not feel nervous at all at this moment. He only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and leave work early.

Immediately, after a brief communication, Johnny Silverhand, who was standing next to V, first stuck his head out and observed the Alpha in front of him, then made a gesture to the warrior next to him.

They will take the initiative to tie down Alpha, while V will take the opportunity to go to Omega alone!
"V, it's up to you now."

Johnny gave V a thumbs up. He still believed in V's ability.

"give it to me."

V raised his hand and patted Johnny on the shoulder, smiling very confidently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Johnny led the remaining four Astartes warriors out of the bunker and launched a direct attack on Alpha.

"Delay this heretic bastard for me, and don't let it interfere with V's mission!"

Following Johnny's angry curse, several soldiers immediately rushed out and launched a melee attack on Alpha.

Their purpose was not to kill Alpha, but to delay Alpha and give V a chance to get close to Omega.

After all, if Alpha is killed, Omega will immediately begin to reset. Omega, observing the results from a four-dimensional perspective, will definitely be able to find a way to avoid being captured.

No one can tell what will happen then!

"Roar……!"

Seeing human soldiers jumping out to provoke it, Alpha became angry instantly. It twisted its limbs and appeared in front of the soldiers in the blink of an eye.

Then it stretched out its tentacles, transformed them into sharp bone spurs, and suddenly stabbed towards Johnny and other soldiers.

boom!
Not only did Alpha's bone spur fail to hit Johnny, but Johnny dodged it by leaning sideways and hit Alpha hard with his iron fist as big as a sandbag.

The Astartes warrior's giant fist, driven by the power armor device, delivered a heavy punch that caused Alpha to suffer internal bleeding.

Seeing that Alpha was exhausted by his punch, Johnny was afraid that he would hit Alpha too hard and kill him directly.

So Johnny had to call on the soldiers around to help him capture Alpha and prevent him from leaving.

"Brothers, hold on to this thing, don't let it run away!"

The entire battle process was easier than Johnny had imagined. Looking at Alpha being surrounded by several Astartes warriors, holding his limbs and bone spurs, Johnny couldn't help but chuckle:
"This guy is quite powerful. Be careful not to kill him, or else it will be very troublesome."

"Yes!"

The warriors were playing the art of bondage with Alpha, while V jumped into the deep water pit and swam quickly towards Omega's location.

"Roar--!!"

When he realized that he was trapped here on purpose and that Omega was about to face danger, the angry Alpha let out an unwilling roar.

It began to struggle desperately, trying to escape from Johnny and others, but what awaited Alpha was another heavy punch.

After being hit by two punches, Alpha was damaged internally again, and his struggle became less intense, as if he was saying to Johnny, "I'm honest, please let me go."

In the puddle.

V held the matrix device tightly. Thanks to the auxiliary system of the power armor, he didn't need to move much to pass through layers of obstacles and dive into deeper waters.

Soon, a huge sea anemone creature was floating quietly in the water. That was their target - Omega!

Through close observation, V was able to see Omega's core device, a rotating spherical object about two meters in size.

The whole place glows with dazzling blue light. No wonder they could vaguely see the blue light here before they arrived.

"I'll send you to our giant company's power plant, and let you be a good generator!"

After saying that, V came to the core of Omega, aimed at the position and directly inserted the matrix device.

Om-! !

The moment the matrix's nerve cable touched the Omega core, it immediately penetrated deep into the core and instantly connected it to the matrix server.

At that moment, even Omega's muscles stiffened, and it took a long time before he completely relaxed and returned to his previous state.

At the same time, Leon, who was far above the Louvre, also received information from the matrix server that Omega had been connected!
[Mission completed, retreat begins.]

When Leon's order was sent through the communication device, the mimic insects that were engaged in a fierce battle with the Astartes warriors suddenly fell into a state of stiffness.

It was as if someone had forcibly pulled out the power cord and we collectively lost the ability to move.

Obviously, they were ordered by Omega to stop attacking and wait for the whole team to come to a halt.

And all these changes are controlled by Li Ang!
After seeing that the mission had been accomplished and the target had been successfully captured, the soldiers did not let out any thunderous roars of excitement.

There was no joyful hugging of each other, celebrating the successful completion of the operation.

They simply followed the retreat order issued by Leon, asked each combat team to report their casualties, and withdrew along the original route.

Only after confirming that no one was injured did the soldiers return to the landing site of the gunboat and shuttle.

As for the Alpha, who was almost forced to shut down by Johnny's two punches, he was also brought into the cabin.

The entire retreat process was orderly, clean and neat. No one showed any slackness or carelessness because of the victory at the moment.

"The entire operation took 15 minutes and 57 seconds, with no casualties. We successfully captured an Omega and an Alpha, as well as a few mimics for research."

"Report completed."

As the captain of this commando team, V finally felt relieved after reporting the operation to Leon.

[Well, all personnel are boarding the plane to return to the front-line base! ]

……

As this small group of fighters returned to base, the Astartes warriors in the cabin finally relaxed completely and began to chat and joke with each other.

At this moment, Leon has learned the true origins of Mimicry and Omega through the Matrix!
Strictly speaking, Omegas are not completely magical species that evolved on their own. They are biological weapons that have been specifically cultivated by more advanced civilizations.

The blood in Omega and Alpha's bodies contains superluminal particles, and these substances are not innate to them, but are given to them by other civilizations.

In other words, behind the species of mimicry, there is a more advanced creator civilization!
"Sure enough... this trip is not as simple as I thought!"

Le Ang, who had a premonition, had actually already suspected the mimicry species when he deduced the superluminal technology. He wondered whether it was a weapon modified by other civilizations.

After all, no matter how you look at mimicry, there are obvious "traces of manufacturing".

They are like automatic mechanical assemblies used by advanced civilizations to harvest resources. Their materials seem to be some kind of nanotechnology substance, and their operating system uses hive consciousness.

The single body mimicry is delivered to a planet through meteors, meteorites, or even some specific propulsion devices.

The mimicry then quickly devoured matter and replicated three mimicry species with different functions: Omega, Alpha, and ordinary mimicry.

What follows is a series of pollution and transformation of the local environment, and the use of local material resources to replicate itself rapidly.

For example, mimicry will replicate itself by devouring soil, and its excrement will pollute the soil and destroy the local ecological environment.

These body structures have obvious universal designs and can change into various shapes on their own. After harvesting a planet, they will send a signal to the Creator civilization.

Let them come over and take over all the resources of the planet.

I have to say that this model of interstellar colonization really has an elegant and efficient beauty!

Relying on such a thing to colonize and expand the sphere of influence of one's own civilization is so comfortable, easy and convenient.

'The creator of the mimic is definitely an awesome senior programmer. He wrote a colony crawler code to go to other planets and harvest lives and resources!'

Li Ang couldn't help but marvel inwardly, the alien world opened by the Level 2 star gate really gave him a wave of strength.

He had a strong premonition that the mimicked Creator civilization was definitely not someone to be trifled with easily. In fact, the technological level of this civilization had even surpassed that of giant enterprises!

"Present me all the information about your Creator."

Thinking of this, Leon gave instructions to Omega through the matrix, and the next second, Omega sent all the information to him.

Soon, Leon learned from this information about the creator of the mimic civilization. Their notorious name was -

[Reaper Civilization]!
