Limitless The Strongest Revenant

{I accept. If you give me power, I will follow you even into death. I never planned on joining the vampires anyway.}

'I guess we really are blood brothers now. He saved my family while I saved his.'

[The arrival of Roach radically impacted the battle. For one those he personally has killed do not return. The Sirens of team Anvil believe it has to do with his halberd having Anti-soul properties. Roach's ability has forced the South Americans to play defensively and focus on him, giving the rest of our forces some breathing room.]

Hearing Exa's report I felt weird. On one hand, I decided to spare this bastard and grant him power on a whim. Now he came back to repay the favor and single handedly changed the outcome of this war. It reminded me about the law of reciprocity.

If I didn't spare or grant him power, my family might not have been able to hold out. I never intended him to return the favor so soon, but it seems like the universe was telling me my decision was the right one.

'Okay. Thanks Exa. Get me a map and model of the current forces.'

A 3D model that showed what the current battlefield conditions appeared in my mind. It showed the army compositions and terrain in an accurate scale. Our side was in blue while the enemy forces were red.

I couldn't help but marvel and the level of detail from Exa's model. The thousands of figures all moved in real time! Thus, we had the most up to date information to make decisions. And it looked fucking cool!

But as I checked on our forces, I noticed something else. Aside from Roach and his Lizardkin, there were Amari and Mia, the Adventurers and undead who helped our battle lines. However, those were expected. Metallic beasts that didn't belong here were also present.

Along with the standard AI platforms of Ripsaws, MAARS, Switchblades and drones, there were new ones I didn't provide Bella. But as I was a military gun nut, I swooned in happiness at their imposing presence. They were the culmination of humanity's desire to murder each other in the easiest way possible.

'Exa, are those fucking Challengers MBTs? And since when did we have helicopter gunships? And where did we have get enough howitzers to form two artillery batteries?'

[They are gifts delivered to Lady Bella's base by the Astrologer. She left them behind along with the letter Reaper Mike Walker delivered to you.]

The sight of a row of Challengers sending tank rounds into advancing summoned beings was a treat. There was a reason these works of art were placed on par with the mighty M1 Abrams. While America had the highest defense budget, her allies in NATO were no slouches either.

Challengers had almost the same firepower of their American counterparts. And while there might there were small differences, to zombies and summoned pets, they were mostly the same. This was evident by how the summoned beings were absolutely butchered by them.

Similarly, while they were different from the Apaches I knew, the helicopter gunships that flew were hammering those on the ground unopposed. They released suppressive fire along with their missile payloads without any reservations.

Those that tried to attack them from the ground and in the air were swiftly taken cared off by Mike's Wyvern unit and a swarm of Switchblades. With such a heavy escort, hardly anything could stop the helicopters from doing what they did best.

Just the presence of these two was already enough to send my heart wheezing from excitement. But the biggest thing was the addition of more Howitzers. Vincent was only able to steal six 777s under the radar. And because of the Reaper's treaty with the humans and the US military, despite being able to pay for them, we weren't allowed to buy more.

Thus to me, seeing the devastation of two batteries worth of artillery inflicted on our enemies was so satisfying! I didn't know the exact model, but they were towed by a truck from what I could see. Although that hardly mattered beyond their ability to send 155 shells on the battlefield.

[The Helicopter gunships are called the Agusta A129 Mangusta attack helicopters. One of Europe's best rotary aircraft on par with the US military's Apaches. The howitzers are called CAESAR self-propelled howitzers. Like the A129, their performance is comparable to the 777's in terms of power and range.]

'FUCK! THAT IS SO COOL! Remind me to thank Blanche when I see her.'

[Understood, my lord. These additions were sent here to ensure the Siren's would be able to resist the onslaught of South America. The Astrologer sent 10 Challengers, 4 Agustas and 6 CAESARs.]

"Eh? But the count doesn't match?"

Rather than 10, there were over two dozen Challengers. And the helicopters were about a dozen. If Blanche only left 10 and 4 units of each, how the hell did we get more?

[My lord, this is due to Lady Bella. Her newest {fate} {Replicate} copies a mechanical unit with soul for one battle. She has been invoking it nonstop to bolster our numbers.]

"Shit. Thats too OP! What about the others! I feel they all ascended to level 5, did they not?"

[Yes, my lord. Lady Jo gained {Echo}, which allows her to create sound. Lady Robyn now has {Float}. It allows her to send anything to the sky. Lady Aki's newest {Fate} is {Dope} which empowers her abilities using energy from food.]

"…FUCK! My girls are so fucking awesome! But back up, even if Bella could multiply the hardware, how did we get operators to use them? Did we get training from the military like Vincent did with the 777's?"

[No, my lord, the Sirens concluded that would take too much time. Lady Jo and Robyn assaulted multiple US Military bases and kidnapped people who could operate the weapon platforms. Van Micron then downloaded their knowledge and turned it into digital records with his {fate}, I and Lady Bella then created structured learning modules for our training.]

Somehow, hearing my girls assault US bases no longer phased me. Their only concern before I arrived was to not die. Thus, I couldn't fault them for doing what appeared to be drastic means. But rather than get anxious about the repercussions, I was amazed instead.

"I see. Were they able to do it without issues?"

[Yes, my lord, Lady Jo and Robyn were never in danger the entire time. Rather than teach reapers Lady Bella decided to install the learning modules on reaper corpses. As an extension of the former [Bradley Crew] {Program}, Lady Bella's marionette army now uses the [Aegis Battalion] {Program}]

"…"

I didn't understand the technical stuff, but what I did get was that Bella now could teach Reaper Corpses to drive tanks and helicopters just from her {Program}. Rather than the caveman tactics Dominic did, Bella was using his {Fate} in ways that would scare most countries.

However, to me it was the opposite. Rather than focus on how insane my girls were, I understood the lengths they went to field the new hardware. Taking this instance as a precedent, we would probably also do the same thing in the future.

'And if we could create replica soulgear from the ones my girls had, the effects would be OP as fuck,' I imagined in excitement.

'Anyway, is there anything else Exa?'

[No, my lord. You are now up to date on the current situation. How do you wish to proceed?]

Looking at the 3d model in my brain I tried to think of a plan but couldn't think of anything good. If what Liv, Lilly and Jas said was true, my presence would change the entire battlefield. And right now, that was worth more than trying to overpower the invaders.

'Exa, get me eyes on the fort.'

[Yes, my lord.]

Seeing the video feed, I opened up a {portal} and turned to the ones with me. My {Vassals} D and Pixie, along with the Adventurers Leo and Nyda.

"Everyone as you can see, the situation is chaotic. Take this {Portal} and return to our base. Ask Bella where she needs you."

"What will you do my lord?" Pixie asked.

"What I do best?"

I started walking towards the battlefield as I psyched myself up.

'Exa, prime [Warcry].'

[Done, I believe you want it as loud as possible right?]

I feel the soul drain from over 50,000 souls. Exa really understood me and my tactics. Pleased I summoned Ebony and Ivory and ran towards the South American Army.

"TADAIMA MOTHERFUCKERS! I HEARD YOU WERE LOOKING FOR ME!" I roared.
