A single-player post-apocalyptic game, but with an all-female teammate mod.

She turned her head away, her tone becoming hurried and awkward, "It's not that I want to... it's just that since Senior Icarus has inscribed it, I, as a junior, must follow in his footsteps."

She spoke faster and faster, as if making excuses for herself, and finally closed her eyes, revealing her slender neck.

Only her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner nervousness.

"Hurry up... hurry up and finish!"

The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on her lips.

Coco crossed her arms, a knowing glint in her eyes.

Even Icarus, who had just drifted back from the direction of the bedroom, tilted his head, his emerald green eyes calmly watching this scene.

Aono was somewhat surprised, and knew that Nymph was acting out her tsundere tendencies, but after thinking it over, he had no reason to refuse.

Firstly, inscribing the Lord is a normal practice for the omnipotent angels, and it relates to the self-evolution of the Pandora system.

Secondly, Nymph's behavior at this moment is less about being arrogant and more about a kind of dependence that desires to be treated equally.

Moreover, once the inscription is made and the master is recognized, it is considered to be completely labeled as loyal.

"understood."

Aono's voice softened.

He reached out and gently touched Nymph's snow-white neck with his fingertips.

As he touched it, a similar thin metal chain slid out from the void, its end flexibly wrapping around his wrist. A cool sensation came through, followed by pale blue light patterns.

Nymph's body stiffened visibly, and a very soft whimper escaped her throat.

As the light patterns spread across the chains and collar, and the inscription was completed, she quickly opened her eyes.

She frantically touched the collar around her neck, then immediately took two steps back and covered her burning cheeks with her hands.

"Alright, alright! No looking! And no ordering me around! You idiot Master!"

After she finished speaking, she darted behind Icarus like a startled rabbit, only revealing her watery eyes as she secretly glanced at Aono.

[Trust Value Bonus Unlocked]

Aono couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the system notification that popped up in front of him.

No need to think about it, this extended version must have been provided by Nymph.

Originally at 95% trust level, it easily reached 100% after being inscribed, and like Icarus, it is still slowly increasing.

"Alright, Ika has joined, but she's only level 11 right now. I need to help her level up for a day. We'll officially start the four-team operation tomorrow."

"Then today, Haru and I will each go with Tsunade and Kage respectively."

Aiba Asagi immediately responded, and the adorable Hatsuharu Kazari nodded in agreement.

They had obviously discussed this beforehand.

"Alright, then I'll bring my two angel girls with me today."

After chatting for a while, the little cook, Dudu, prepared breakfast.

At six o'clock sharp, the nine members of Aono split into three teams of three and began clearing the map again.

Inside a metal building in Bociguan.

Aono stood in the center of the hall, carrying an alloy battle axe. A pink-haired, big-breasted, long-legged angelic girl and a blue-haired, flat-chested angelic girl with twin tails floated on either side of him.

Nymph pointed to the army of silver mechanical monsters and said to Icarus, "Senior, all these mechanical monsters in front of us are enemies. Killing them will give you experience. Once you have enough experience, you can level up, which means regaining our former power."

Aono has said the same thing too many times, so now he avoids saying it whenever possible.

Some basic knowledge about this world was taught to the newcomers by other girls.

Icarus nodded slightly, his pink and white wings gently unfurling, his emerald pupils reflecting the silver ocean before him.

Aono raised his chin. "It's coming. Prepare to attack."

"Understood, Master."

Icarus responded without any change in expression.

Without making any charging motion, its wings trembled slightly, and then several white energy bullets appeared and blasted towards the oncoming pack of mechanical dogs.

"Artemis".

The light bullet sliced ​​through the air, seemingly possessing its own consciousness, and precisely penetrated the unprotected joints and mouth of the mechanical dog.

Kara.

Kara.

Kara...

With a series of crisp sounds, the level 14 mechanical dogs fell one after another.

"..."

Aono's eyelids twitched. "Is this the level of difficulty of a stage boss...?"

Although he had a rough idea that Icarus would have an easy time dealing with these mechanical monsters, the sheer number of them still impressed him.

Icarus tilted his head. "Master, should we continue the attack?"

"Okay, take care of all these mechanical monsters and upgrade your combat power as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master."

66. Clear the entire map & Mechanical Heart

The third wave consisted of a level 17 elite mechanical guard that was three meters tall and covered in dark red armor.

Even if Aono were to fight this monster head-on at the same level, it would take him a lot of effort.

However, after taking down two waves of mechanical monsters and leveling up, Icarus flew straight over as if he hadn't even seen the menacing cannon muzzle.

"Elite unit detected, Artemis, lock on."

She murmured softly, and suddenly her wings unfurled behind her.

hum.

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted in front of Icarus, and dozens of light orbs radiating intense white light materialized out of thin air.

Instead of launching immediately, they hovered in the air for a moment like a swarm of living bees, locking onto the armored mechanical guards below.

The elite garrison seemed to sense a deadly threat, and the heavy artillery muzzle on its chest instantly lit up with a blinding blue light, attempting to retaliate.

"emission."

As Icarus spoke, dozens of light bullets rained down instantly.

The light bullets drew bizarre zigzag lines in the air, completely ignoring the elite guards' proud heavy armor; some cut into their necks, while others slipped through the gaps in the armor.

The blue energy cannon fired by the elite mechanical guard was perfectly dodged by Artemis' energy bullet and struck the wall next to it.

Immediately afterwards, its massive body trembled violently, and a series of muffled explosions emanated from within it.

Boom!

With just one volley, the high-level elite monster was engulfed in black smoke, its joints shattering into countless tiny metal fragments. It then fell straight backward, turning into a pile of gold coins and materials.

Aono stepped forward and picked up the gold coins and materials.

After picking up the loot, the next step is to plunder.

"Twenty minutes."

As he left the metal building, he glanced at the time he had spent and couldn't help but smile.

This is before he even made a move; otherwise, he could have been even faster.

At this rate, they will definitely become the team that conquers the most metal buildings among the three teams today.

After entering a new silver metal building next door, Aono pointed to the silver metal army in front of him.

"Ika, just like before, deal with these mechanical monsters, but at the same time, protect this glass case next to us and don't let those mechanical monsters destroy it."

"Nymph, you assist Ika, and the two of you stay here and provide ranged attacks."

"Yes, Master." ×2

Half an hour later.

Aono led Nymph and Icarus to a new silver metal building.

As soon as I stepped through the gate, I was greeted by a dense buzzing sound.

If it were before today, Aono would definitely be very annoyed.

The mechanical monsters in this building are all flying units.

Mechanical birds, quadcopter reconnaissance robots, flying combat robots...

They are fast, agile, and often occupy high places or dead corners in the ceiling, making them the most time-consuming to clean.

But now...

"Artemis".

Icarus's voice remained calm and indifferent.

As she spread her wings, countless light bullets instantly filled the entire hall.

Those flying mechanical monsters that were previously hovering at high speed and emitting piercing screams were even more vulnerable in front of the Queen of the Sky than the previous mechanical monsters.

The only sounds in the hall were the constant thud of metal hitting the ground and the crisp clatter of gold coins and materials falling.

Aono followed Icarus, putting all the gold coins and other items into his backpack, and glanced at Nymph floating beside him.

“Speaking of which…” He glanced at Icarus, who was mercilessly clearing away the mechanical monsters in the sky, “I’ve noticed that you two are a little different from what I remember.”

Nymph was drifting around Aono out of boredom, drawing circles in the air.

Hearing this, she turned her head, a hint of doubt showing in her big, watery eyes.

"As far as I remember? Which part are you referring to as Master?"

"Coco must have told you about me, right?"

Aono stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over the two of them. "In my memory, Icarus should be a taciturn and innocent type, while you should be a tsundere king."

"What the heck is 'Tsundere King'?"

Nymph muttered a complaint, then hesitated before turning her head and whispering, "I don't know about Icarus-senpai's situation, but I only have memories of being with you..."

She paused, secretly glancing at Qingye, her fair face flushing slightly.

"So... in my eyes, you are my rightful Master."

Aono paused for a moment, and a guess popped into his mind.

"You mean... you came into this world right after you were created?"

Nymph nodded. "...Yes."

Icarus, who had already cleared the area, flew back at some point. "Yes, Master, after the factory test, it was used by you and then officially activated."

"Factory test?"

Aono blinked. "You're not talking about our battle that day, are you?"

"Yes, Master."

"So that's how it's set up..."

Aono didn't ask any more questions. The subsequent use was naturally the recruitment process, and activation definitely referred to recruitment.

"That's not bad either." After figuring it out, his mood improved a bit.

Nymph is indeed a tsundere, but she is quite restrained before meeting Athena.

Icarus, before his emotions and most of his abilities were sealed, was more inclined to be cold and ruthless than innocent and naive.

The perfect description of her is that she is a weapon that obeys orders without question.

After meeting Tomo, the two girls were gradually influenced and their personalities became part of Aono's memories.

To put it dramatically, it's been adjusted perfectly.
