In the midst of being overwhelmed by the relentless sea of people and engulfed by a sense of despair like a dark tide flooding the soul, a sharp and incomparable cutting sound pierced through the air. It was Oda, despite his body being on the brink of collapse, who, relying on his last ounce of willpower, forcibly ignited the remaining energy in his body, wielding the mantis blades on his arms to deliver the final and most powerful blow. Where the blade passed, the air seemed to split in two, and the soldiers pressing down on V were seemingly instantly cut apart by an invisible force, as if fragile paper easily tearing under a sharp blade.
However, due to this final blow, Oda himself exhausted all his strength, unable to control his movements and force. His body, like an uncontrolled arrow, crashed heavily onto the hard floor. This impact was not only physical pain, but seemed to be the ultimate symbol of all his efforts, sacrifices, and struggles. His body slid uncontrollably for a distance before finally coming to a stop.
At this moment, the scene suddenly quieted down, leaving only Oda's heavy gasping and the last echo of his indomitable will within his body. With Oda's help, V slowly stood up, turning his gaze towards where Oda had fallen, his eyes filled not only with deep gratitude, but also with awe for the indomitable fighting spirit of this comrade. In this moment of despair, it was Oda who almost sacrificed himself to secure V's chance of regaining freedom.
V quickly pushed aside the soldier's remains pressing on him and rushed eagerly towards Oda. But before he could inquire about Oda's injuries, he saw a look of terror on Oda's face, and then Oda pointed in the direction of Adam. V swiftly turned around, following Oda's indication, and saw a soldier, wrapped in a red data body, standing in front of Adam's body, seemingly preparing to reach out and touch it.
The soldier's eyes were empty and lifeless, with an unnatural red glow flowing through his entire body. He seemed to have lost self-awareness, leaving only the will of the super artificial intelligence controlling him. V's heart tightened as he realized the situation was far more serious than he had imagined. If the red data entity was the embodiment of control, what was it trying to do by attempting to make contact with Adam's body? Was it trying to regain control, or did it have a more sinister plan?
Oda lay on the ground, each breath filled with intense pain, spitting out blood continuously. Despite this, his gaze remained fixed on the soldier and Adam's body. V was filled with unease, knowing he had to stop the other party from completing its plan. But at this distance, what could he do? He had to make a quick decision, as any hesitation could lead to irreversible consequences.
In a corner of Night City, the battle has escalated to a fever pitch. With his intuition and experience, V swiftly drew his gun and took precise aim at the soldier completely controlled by Red data body. The bullet pierced through the soldier's body as if passing through invisible resistance. Despite the bullet's force being enough to knock down an ordinary person, the controlled soldier only slightly faltered, his steps hesitated, but he continued to reach out towards Adam's body.
V's brow furrowed, a determined look flashing in his eyes. He realized that traditional shooting methods were ineffective against a soldier manipulated by the super artificial intelligence "control." So, he aimed at the soldier's arm, attempting to directly impede his actions.
The bullet hit the soldier's palm with destructive force, blasting it into a bloody mess. Red data body reacted to the attack like an enraged beast, every part of the soldier's body seemed to be torn apart by invisible agony. Despite his palm being nearly pulverized, the soldier, as if devoid of pain, continued to stagger like a zombie towards Adam's body.
V hurriedly tried to run towards the soldier about to reach Adam's body, intending to stop it all at the last moment. However, at this critical moment, a soldier who had already been cut in half by Oda, though his lower body had lost mobility, his upper body was still filled with the evil vitality "controlled" had bestowed upon him. Just as V was about to reach the target, the soldier suddenly reached out his arm and grabbed V's ankle with unimaginable speed.
V was suddenly attacked and fell heavily to the ground, kicking up dust. The soldier twisted his face into a sinister smile, filled with mockery and sarcasm, silently declaring the victory of "control" and the futility of human resistance.
At the critical moment, the soldier inexplicably lunged towards Adam's body, and the red data body surged out of the soldier's body as if it had a life of its own, rushing towards Adam with great speed. These red data streams, like tentacles, greedily sought out every interface on Adam's body, attempting to once again take control of this agent of destruction that they had created.
V struggled to get up from the ground, covered in dust. His eyes were filled with despair and powerlessness, yet he was unwilling to give up. He witnessed how the red data body quickly invaded Adam's body, like a beam of light in the darkness, a symbol of control and a harbinger of Night City's destruction.
The red data body gathered on Adam's body, as if weaving a huge vortex made of code and numbers. It formed an energy storm around Adam, so intense that it seemed to make the air itself tremble. The scene resembled the climax of a sci-fi movie, except this time, it was happening in reality.
The soldier, or rather the controlled body, ultimately couldn't withstand this powerful energy and collapsed weakly at Adam's feet, like a discarded toy. His eyes were empty and lifeless, the red data flowing in his eyes receded, leaving only a dead silence.
Adam's body began to tremble violently, every movement seeming to resist the force trying to awaken him again. His eyes suddenly opened, no longer empty but filled with chaotic and painful light. The red data raged within him, as if trying to completely control his thoughts and actions.
The surrounding air emitted a low, buzzing sound due to the distortion of energy, as if time and space were about to be torn apart by this force. At the center of it all, Adam, once known as the greatest threat in Night City, now finds himself in an unprecedented state - he is both the host and the sacrifice of this power.
