The Geared Immortal

…

The next day, inside a secret military office, Xin Ja is seated along with some of the officers involved in the mission to investigate and infiltrate Y Systems Incorporated.

Of course, their goal is to hamper the activation of the portal that would surely end the lives of the people living in this part of the world.

While inside the office, they are all looking at a projected image of a few people in different sectors of society.

The most prominent of these people are the 5 figures highlighted in red.

Those five could be considered highly dangerous targets.

"These five are A-Rank awakened, and their leader is this person… the president of Y Systems incorporated… Mr. Y." a soldier reported as he pointed at the handsome-looking middle-aged man with black and silver colored hair.

Then in the other picture, his hair is in another color which is red and white, and in the picture, his hair is blonde.

"From the looks of it, this guy might have been active since a few years ago…" an officer said with a frown.

"Mr. Y is actually a successful businessman since then. But he has not touched the prospect of awakened until recently… We were astonished when he presented to undertake the portal creation. But since the portal creation would need a massive budget, the government agreed on him…" a general said while taking a puff of his cigar.

"He is possessed…" Xin Ja suddenly said while pointing at Mr. Y.

"Possessed by what?" Cohan Vale asked with a deep frown.

"As the demons have told you… There is a battle between the demons and the Shadow Beings… In fact, outside this world in the universe divided by the darkness and the light… the deities have already been fighting against the demons and the shadow beings…" Xin Ja explained.

"I guess, every now and then, some part of the demons would realize the truth and would turn towards the light, and there are also people who would turn from the light into the darkness." He added.

"So you mean…"

"Yes, the Shadow Being has already invaded this place according to the warning of the demons…" Xin Ja confirmed.

"We already know that… but do you really think that we do not need the demons in this plan?" Cohan Vale asked.

Before Xin Ja could reply, they all heard someone knocking outside the door. This time, Xin Ja\'s face suddenly changed as his eyes became serious while looking at the door.

He has already prepared himself to fight if something happened.

Outside the door, he could feel a powerful aura that blocks even his Absolute Sense.

The door then opened as three figures enter.

Two of those figures are demons and the last one is a female civilian with a powerful aura.

"Miss Agatha… Lord Amenadon… Mistress Nedona… Welcome!" Cohan Vale and the other high-ranking officers in the secret room greeted them.

"You guys are so secretive that it took us time in finding this location…" the female A-Rank named Miss Agatha grumbled.

"That is why it is called secret. Plus, I gave you the location of this place… did you not look at it?" Cohan Vale interjected.

The woman went silent and she bit her lips.

Everyone could not help but shake their heads. The woman is a bit clumsy when it comes to these things. Plus she has a very bad sense of direction along with her lack of interest when being taught, which leads to her being in trouble every now and then.

The three got seated among the group as they were briefed on what the people around the room have been discussing.

"Those 5 are not simple…"

Suddenly the draconian Lord, Amenadon who looks like a tall and handsome man in his 30s, points at the projected image.

"Especially that guy named Mr. Y… In fact, he… He is our previous Demon Emperor which then became a Shadow Being…" he explained while showing a slight regret in his eyes.

"Under his rule, we were able to create many portals which enable us to plunder and attack other worlds."

"Though we were driven back and badly beaten, we were still able to recruit millions of demons and Shadow Being in the known universe… This is in preparation for invading this world…" he added.

He then began to tell the original plan of the demons and the Shadow Beings in destroying this planet to enable them to open the realms of the deities. But their plan was thwarted by a young cultivator which they considered an ant.

While Xin Ja listened to the story, he could not help but feel a bit proud of what he had done before.

Then the demon stopped and looks at the people inside the room.

"This planet cannot be destroyed because of the presence of the entity guarding this place… However, Yol-Gar has already found a way through it…" Amenadon said with a sigh.

"I have already made a concession with the guardian… We are here to help stop Yol-Gar… Just tell us what to do…"

"Hmm… It seems that you guys are also in this ship…" Xin Ja suddenly said while looking at the two demons.

When he looks at them and sees the energy coursing through their bodies, he could tell that something has changed within their physique.

Sensing the strange gaze of the young man, the two demons also scrutinized Xin Ja.

"Let us introduce this one to you two… His name is Adam Summers… He is the one who started the technological innovation which the world is enjoying right now…" General Grain introduced Xin Ja to the two.

"You… you are not the same as the rest… You are… different." Amenadon muttered while looking at Xin Ja.

"You are not from this side of the planet…" he suddenly sent a transmission directly to Xin Ja.

Xin Ja showed a faint smile and nodded his head. He did not have to hide such a thing anyway.

"Of course he is different… He is weak-looking but very strong in reality… I just don\'t know how he is able to hide his strength though." The A-Rank female named Agatha said with a smirk.

The glint in her eyes shows that she wanted to battle Xin Ja so that she could know his true strength.

But Xin Ja did not want to entertain the woman. With her strength as an A-rank, Xin Ja would surely suffer in the short run of the battle.

But he also knew that in a battle of attrition, A-Rank would not be able to fight against him.

The reason why A-Ranks could not show off their power casually is because of the inhibition imposed on them by the guardian of the planet.

Such power is destructive to the planet, hence they are being restrained.

But if ever Xin Ja could attain such strength then he would be able to use its full potential due to his cultivation type.

Suddenly, someone once again knocks on the door and a soldier enters.

"Sir… We have just received a report that one of the dangerous targets is entering a forest near the west side of the swamp are of Gator… That place has a… dream weaving array…" the soldier reported.

When the group heard this, they all turned silent.

The demons discovered the dream weaving array back then and some of them have taken control of it. Xin Ja and Cohan Vale have also encountered them on one of such an array in which Xin Ja created a trap for those that would dare enter that place.

But there are more such arrays that actually control the force dividing this planet.

Everyone knew that those arrays are very tricky and only a small portion of them was controlled by the demons and used as a power to their portals.

However, they still could not let their guard down just in case one of them would be taken over by the Shadow Beings.

Because no one knows what would happen if they are able to control such an array.

The group then began to plan out their move, and after a few minutes of discussion, Xin Ja volunteered to go along with the A-Rank awakened Agatha.

The two of them are going to scout things out while Cohan Vale and the two demon powerhouses would be their backup.

After setting out the plan, Xin Ja and Agatha quickly boarded an off-road truck and went in the direction of Gator Swamp.

While on the bumpy road, Xin Ja could not help but admire the female A-rank for wearing nothing but her clothes and a dagger on her back.

But what distracts him is her non-stop fixing of her clothes.

As the road is a bit rough, her bountiful chest would displace her loose shirt revealing a portion of her skin every now and then.

This made her seem to feel uncomfortable as the gazes of the few people inside the off-road truck would sometimes go to her assets.

She seems to know that it was just by reflex but she still gets annoyed.

Xin Ja who felt a bit helpless at her suddenly takes out a blanket from his ring and quickly drape it over her.

When he did so, everyone\'s eyes were suddenly glued on him with astonishment as if they have just seemed a magic show being performed live in front of them.
