Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Chapter 104 A Thought



Clyde stepped into the room. When he got inside, it turned out that the atmosphere of this room was much different from what he had seen before.

This room wasn't made up of metal walls or red neon lights that seemed to convey the sinister vibe of an evil AI.

Large windows lined the length of the room and from those windows, Clyde could see what was outside.

A computer with one monitor screen and keyboard is in the middle of the room. On the monitor screen, there was a blue text that was blinking as if asking Clyde to come closer.

[ Main Controls. ]

So Clyde walked over to the computer. Once he was directly in front of it, the text on the monitor changed.

[ Press Enter. ]

Clyde immediately did it. The writing on the monitor changed again.

[ You now have full access to all AI in this tower. ]

Clyde grinned. Then he started typing the commands he wanted to give to all the robots in this tower.

Clyde orders the remaining X-99s to finish off other robots on the streets and help his group members. Then he also ordered the drones to do the same thing once they were ready.

From the window, Clyde looked down the street. It turned out that he was currently on the top floor of the Main Control Tower.

He saw his group members still in the middle of the robots' siege. They can survive well but the seemingly endless number of robots will still be something dangerous if left alone for a long time.

Then a dozen human-shaped robots with amazing abilities came out from inside the tower.

They were rushed to the troops of the robots and began to carry out their actions. That is destroying the robots on Clyde's orders.

After seeing that, Clyde nodded in satisfaction. He returned to the computer and typed something. He wanted to quickly get the treasure box hidden in this tower.

After he typed in the command, the floor in front of the computer opened. Then a platform rises to one meter.

Above the platform was a black box with a blue neon stripe lighting up on the side of it.

Clyde drew closer to the box. Because he was sure that it was the treasure box he wanted, Clyde didn't hesitate to open it right away.

He pressed a large button in the middle of the top side of the box. The box opened to four different sides and revealed a gray orb inside.

The orb was only the size of his palm. Clyde took the orb and stared at it for a few moments.

As far as he could observe, the orb showed nothing special. The shape is plain and smooth. Out of curiosity, Clyde used his [Skill: Inspection] on the orb.

[ Inspection (Lv. 3) is activated! ]

<<<Item Information>>>

[ Name: Nightmare Orb (Replica). ]

[ Affiliation: Godly Essence Replica Item. ]

[ Item grade: S ]

[ Description: This item stores the fragment of a powerful Outer God power. With the power within this item, you can have the ability to injure Outer Gods. ]

Clyde's eyes widened slightly when he saw the information about the item he was currently holding.

"Grade S item?"

Clyde had never seen an item or weapon of this grade before. That meant that he was currently holding an item of the highest grade in this Selection Stage.

But seeing from the ability of this item, Clyde wasn't too surprised that this item was in grade S.

However, there was something that made Clyde feel confused.

"What does it mean that this item is a Replica?" Clyde muttered in surprise. Does that mean this item is just a copy of the original item?

The quiet room made Clyde think more clearly. If this was all just the Selection Stage, then the possibility that everything here was just an imitation was indeed quite high.

Since day one, the parties running this apocalypse - most likely the World Masters - have indeed only issued one mainstream apocalypse scenario after another.

They're just copying what's already created in fiction.

This Selection Stage is just a big stage where they are a spectacle for all beings who see it. Whether they are World Masters, Celestials, or some other being.

Maybe all of this isn't real. Maybe they will wake up on the sixth day when this apocalypse ends. Because everything in this world is just an imitation.

"Then, are all these powers also unreal?" Clyde stared at the reflection of himself in the window.

He was now wearing all black, with a sword hanging from his waist. All the power he has, the Coins he has. Is it all real?

Or actually, he's just a pathetic teenager hoping to become the protagonist of a cool fiction story. But in the end, he just had to accept the fact that he was actually nobody.

Clyde decided not to think about it anymore. Because that would only make him feel bad. So Clyde looked away from the window pane that reflected his appearance.

Clyde put the Nightmare Orb into his Inventory. Then cast his gaze around the room once more.

The room is empty except for that lonely computer. Clyde concluded that there was nothing else he could do in this room. After all, he also got what he wanted.

Clyde ran to the window and jumped out. He broke the window as if it was nothing. Then jump down from the top floor of this tower.

Clyde felt a gust of wind against his face as he dived down from several tens of meters high. For a moment he felt calm when he did that.

In his mind came a thought. 'Perhaps this is the last sight people who commit suicide by jumping off buildings see and experience.'

Clyde landed on the ground with a thump. He landed on his feet easily, unharmed.

Above him came a rustling sound. Clyde looks up, he sees the drones have been released and is now helping the X-99s to destroy the robot troops.

With their help, the waves of robots that continue to spawn without stopping are much easier to handle.

The other group members are also aware of the presence of robots and drones that help them. The X-99 is superior to ordinary robots.

And the drones that attacked from above were also barely touched by their attacks. So the drones can attack freely and destroy robots quickly.

Clyde came to help shortly after. And the process to destroy the robots was running more smoothly.

After about an hour had passed, they were finally able to beat all the robots in this wave. So they can feel a bit relaxed for some time.

The members of the group stood in the middle of the scattered and piled-up corpses of the robots. This place was suddenly like a scrap metal shelter.

Sonya sat him over the corpse of a large robot whose body had been cut in half. In her hands is still the futuristic rifle that she stole from the robot that attacked her at the motel.

The others were already sitting on the corpses of the robots with tired faces.

Apart from the scattered corpses of the robots, what caught their attention were the human-looking robots wearing modern armor and the drones that were silently hovering above.

They stood still when there were no more robots for them to kill.

The players in Clyde's group had already seen how the robot worked. They destroy the robots with their excellent fighting skills.

Behind the robots, Clyde appears who seems to be walking casually. They saw him walking from the direction of the Main Control Tower.

"You guys alright?" Clyde asked while looking at their condition.

"Yeah, we're more or less alright," Sonya said.

Others have given similar answers to her.

"You managed to take over these robots and drones in the Main Control Tower?" Rodney asked.

"Yes." Clyde nodded curtly. "Let's get ready. The new wave is coming soon, right?"

"If this squad of robots and drones helps us, it will be easier to get through these robot waves," said Reed. There was a faint smile on his tired face.

"Whatever you do in that tower, you do a good job, Clyde," Eric said to Clyde.

"Thanks," replied Clyde. "But today isn't over yet. Don't thank me just yet."

They can only rest for a short time. Because not long after that the new robot army started spawning again.

"We'd better avoid being surrounded now," Rodney said.

"I agree," Clyde said.

They decided to find a good place to face the robot. Being in the middle of a siege and being attacked from all sides is very tiring.

They entered a nearby building. Even though the robots can still enter, at least by being in this building they can minimize the number of robots that attack them at once.

They felt they could fight better now. Now that Clyde had found what he was looking for, all they had to do now was hold on until the time the BOSS appear.
