Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 887: Strong enough to choose [2/2]

"Haha, it’s probably because I am stupid. Unlike you girls who know of the path I have to take; I only consider it one day at a time."

"Hehe, maybe. But you despite several people being stronger than you, none of us have been able to do a fraction of what you have done Darling. You are so cool!"

"I see, thanks Jo. You know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without all of you," I replied, a bit embarrassed.

"And you make us feel so special to boot! I love love love you, Darling!"

"Just answer Possum’s fucking question you nutjob! Stop trying to get into his pants! And Possum! Stop making goo-goo eyes at her! Look at me instead!"

"It seems, Jo has devised a new plan to get Shujin’s favor. I feel conflicted. My students are all trying to take what is mine? As you seduction master, I should answer in kind, right?"

"Sigh, I feel like an idiot getting so worked up earlier. You bitches are insufferable assholes you know? I honestly do not know what Honey’s sees in all of you."

Hearing the chaos coming from the rest of the girls, I couldn’t help but smile. Despite their differences and strengths, they still chose to follow me. There could be no greater expression of loyalty that that.

"Jo."

"Yes, Darling?"

"Send the fighters away."

"Eh? They are still far away. They are beyond the range of sound. Yet you still think that I can?"

"Yes," I answered confidently.

"…"

"Please."

"How are you so sure, Darling? What are you even basing your faith on?"

"The fact that you are my woman. The fact that you are Josephine Benelli Smith," I replied with a smile.

Jo didn’t reply immediately. But after about ten seconds, she nodded her head along with a smile.

"Hehe, this feeling is the best. You really know how to drive me crazy, Darling. Okay! By the will of my Darling and the will of my lord! Darling, can you lower the windows?"

Due to the speed we were going, I kept the windows up. With {Hike} reduced air resistance, the loud gush of wind still was quite loud. But as Jo was the one who asked, I complied.

To my surprise there was no sound as the windows rolled down. It was as if we were still. I checked the speedometer and still saw the needle pointing at the far right. It was as if we stepped into another world. One devoid of sound.

"{Thrall}. You did not see anything. Everything was as it should be. Return back to your base and changed your equipment to those used for bombing ground targets. When you detect an anomaly other than my group, blow it to the sky."

Jo’s melodious voice was the only one that existed in this space. It was enchanting as if the world seemed perfect so long as she spoke. An urge to prostate myself and beg her to continue her instructions rose within me.

As if I was hypnotized or under the influence of drugs. But neither could be possible as I had {Mind Shield} and {Digest}. Before I could figure it out, Jo turned to me and gave a command.

"Darling, please close the windows. I am done."

"Yes, my lady."

"Hehe, Darling is too silly. I guess, I went overboard. Wake up everyone."

Jo then suddenly clapped her hands. The sharp crack in the air rang out like a loud cymbal. In mere moments, the pleasant feeling that filled me vanished. It was like being under a spell. However, before I could ask, the other girls all expressed their confusion.

"Fuck me dead, your {fate} goes through {Mind Shield}. How the fuck is that even possible?"

"How terrifying. I knew I was being influenced, yet I couldn’t resist it. Jo, how does {Thrall} work? Would we able to resist it if we ascend to Specters? Would it work on the Awakened?" Aki, who grew curious began to ask questions one after another.

"It’s not that surprisingly really. I re-watched Vela’s demonstration earlier using Honey’s eyes. Vela and by extension Jo’s inclination as a Revenant is Words of power. This would just be the natural step towards that direction."

Jo didn’t reply and merely placed her finger on her lips as she turned to face behind.

"That’s all a secret. I will tell you all if you manage to become Specters too. More importantly did you all see? They are turning around."

"Yeah. I also heard the com traffic; they are returning home. The crises have passed. Still, that was incredible Jo. Well done," Bella praised.

The Su27’s were like dots even with my enhanced vision. That was just how far they were. If it wasn’t for Bella, we would not have even understood that they would be heading here. Similar to hackers in Hollywood, Bella was hacking everyone and everything.

From her words, it seemed like the reason she saw them was not because they got to close. Even beyond that, she knew ahead of time that they would be deployed, as he heard the orders being given.

Much like I always believed, now that she had the infrastructure of humanity. Bella was terrifying to face on Earth. While not as scary as hacking nuclear missiles, being able to wiretap and listen in to the communications of other people was both scary and useful.

There were conspiracy theories of the American Government wiretapping every phone and land line in the country. And it wasn’t just us, even Europe and Asia did the same thing. Their initial goals might have been for the good, but it just devolved into a tool for monitoring.

I couldn’t help but feel elated that someone was Bella was by my side. Not just her, Jo’s demonstration was just as impressive. The more we all grew the more I marveled at the range of their abilities. I silently thanked God, for giving the Sirens too me.

With the biggest nuance taken care of, the rest of the drive to the Bale Mountains was uneventful. Much like the scenery when you rode a plane or train, there wasn’t much to write home about. We were in the sky, so it was hard to appreciate the beauty of Africa.

’Especially when all you see for miles is a fucking desert, seriously just how wide is this thing?’

The girls made small chatter to each other, but when Amari and Mia grew silent, they did too. If it was just us, the Sirens and I didn’t even need to speak with words. Whether via digital transmissions, or through our {Kindred} links we were always connected.

While we still did enjoy talking, we were not alone. It was hard to discuss about important topics in the presence of strangers. As a silver lining, the girls and I kept flirting through our links. It kept the drive enjoyable at least for me.

Less than two hours later, we finally arrived at the remote village Amari spoke of. It was a small village having less than 50 small huts. However contrary to what it looked like from the outside, the people within were anything but normal.

A beautiful dark-skinned woman greeted us at the village entrance. She made a respectful bow as she greeted.

"Welcome in peace, Successor. May your fate end the darkness and reclaim the glory of what was once lost."

’Well, this was going to be interesting’, I thought inwardly.
