28 The Day of Reckoning

Within the high altitude of the United States' airspace, P-1 and its squadron of other Phenythelamine H-dolls were soaring to the east, where the perpetual sunset came to be.

"Say, leader," said P-43 on the direct communication channel of the First H-dolls Squadron. "The sun is supposed to rise on the east and set on the west. I know that this topic is still unsolved by the HQ but I'm wondering about your thoughts on this."

"Well, if you're that curious." P-1 put on an awkwards grin. "Then everybody here must have the same level of curiosity, doesn't it not?"

"Correctment!" said P-21

"P-43 said the words of my mind," said P-13

"Well, the Apocalypse is starting, and we have been in flight for two hours at most." P-35 chuckled. "Yet the source of the perpetual sunset is still in the same direction. This also universally goes for every human in the world. If you look at it, it is just straight out something of a horror movie."

P-1 sighed with a smile. "Regardless of ours combined effort at solving this mystery, it still won't do anything if ten Serotonin Models on the HQ are having a rough time coming up with the hypothesis of this perpetual sunset."

"Well, that topic aside," said P-21 "Why won't you start explaining to us why you're alone having that cool weapon!?"

Due to P-1's former weapon being given to Yoo Hana on the early anniversary event, Hosua decided to give P-1 another weapon that fits the aesthetic of a squadron leader.

Unlike every Phenethylamine model who wore strapping their puny-looking custom SMG with a grenade launcher, P-1 was holding a calibrated and modified copy of GAU-8 Avenger Machine Gun that was meant for a jet fighter.

In more detailed explanation, the General Electric GAU-8 Avenger is a 30 mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-style autocannon that is primarily mounted in the United States Air Force's Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II. Designed to destroy a wide variety of ground targets, the Avenger delivers very powerful rounds at a high rate of fire for roundss that were bigger than human's child hand. Even the drum magazine it was holding was bigger than P-1, the one who was holding that thing with both hands.

In fact, this whole weapon was three times bigger than the P-1 itself. If not for the upgraded module and the reality calibration to empower P-1 so that it was possible to maneuver with the weird center mass and vertical acceleration of the jetpack meant for a human-sized carrier.

"Fufufu." P-1 showed its proud face to the front. "This is nothing but a gift after I showed my loyalty to the Creator's partner."

"Even though we are already integrated with an AI that is meant to exude utmost loyalty to our maker?" P-21 put on an annoyed snicker. "Leader, just admit it, you're just lucky."

"Fine, fine! I'm just lucky alright!? Don't dig it up and use my service history to shame myself!"

"Uhm, leader," said P-35. "The sun."

"What with the sun?" P-1 began to run its analyzer software. Its face began to get paler with every second pass by. "I see, so the anomaly began to show itself…"

It was 20 seconds left until the Apocalypse.

Every squad that was put on standby in every state surrounding california began the countdown in unison.

Just like with every figure aside from the Sinning Pioneers, they all waited for the inevitable to come.

"10 seconds left until the Apocalypse." Yoo Hana grinned as she stayed under a fortified bunker below the ground surface. Due to her being the only individual that was susceptible to death out of everyone on the base, Hosua put an extra effort to keep her safe while also being connected to almost every eye and brain of the H-dolls.

Aside from P-1 who was given the task to chase the sun, the First H-dolls Squad that was consisted of the four models of the first generation had been tasked to keep an eye on Los Angeles, right on top of the building that was used to be the convenience store that Yoo Hana managed.

"8 seconds left until the apocalypse," Serotonin-1 grinned, giving an eye signal to Endorphin-1 who had planted bigger versions of its early walking turrets all over the blind spot of Los Angeles, imitating everyday objects such as vending machines and dumpsters.

Hosua uttered the words from her mouth.

"The Apocalypse has begun."

It all started from above.

Simultaneously, more than 195 world leaders had their heads fell to the ground.

More than 198,000 politicians had been found limping on the ground, with their heart stopped beating as if it was a natural occurrence.

44 countries in Europe had just experienced a severe earthquake in numerous concentrated regions, resulting in massive collateral damage and loss of lives. 42 active volcanoes within that continent had been triggered like a chain reaction, which not only brought unfathomable destruction to everything within its vicinity, but also resulted in a destructive pulse that traveled to the surrounding countries and continents.

More than 20 tsunamis were brought by the magnitude of the earthquake, destroying almost every infrastructure in many coastal regions. While it's not as destructive, the damage it had caused was not negligible at all.

In every 23 countries in North America was sighted a strange purple whirlpool-textured portals that kept spewing an immeasurable amount of unidentified monsters that was akin to the reanimated beasts of the ancient. The intensity was varied, but it was enough to give an utter sense of horror to every single life form within those countries.

48 countries in Asia were met with a sudden appearance of typhoons. Along with it, were unknown dark clouds that were forming in the sky.

54 countries in Africa were struck by random calamities. Whether it was a giant thunder that zapped half of a city, nor the destruction of infrastructure made by a gargantuan 4 legged walking fortress made out of stone.

14 countries in Oceania had the sighting of infinitely tall towers along with the purple portals that spawned the 'Void' monsters. Screams and the sound of organ instrument were heard from those towers in every corner of those regions.

Meanwhile, there was a massive increase in intensity of 'Void' particles in all 12 countries in South America, increasing the speed of the mass revival of the morphed ancient beast thirty times.

In just almost the span of minutes, the total world population had been reduced by half. Every countries had not been completely annihilated for some strange reason, and due to the influence of the forced broadcast that was happening all around the world, every world-scale organization began to act independently even without the presence of every world wide leaders.

Half of the internet had been lost, but thanks to the upgraded Core Router within the Sinning Pioneers' HQ, almost every part of the internet was revived almost immediately. As such, all available broadcasting media began to spew all kinds of information to follow up the earlier forced broadcast made by Yoo Hana.

The news, media posts, and articles that was posted on the internet were mostly different than what Hosua perceived from the TITER Device.

"It seemed like the future did change…"

40% of the territory within North America had been cleared from the imminent dangers of the thousands if not millions of variants of monstrosities that were spewing out from the purple portals. All thanks to the H-dolls that were spread almost evenly in the states surrounding california. The fast follow up action from the USA Armies had saved a lot of effort, and most of the Serotonin H-dolls were able to negotiate and cooperate with them.

It was the same with every military in the world. The Navy, the Airfoce, and almost every side of the world had a clear goal of preserving every last piece of humanity that was on the verge of danger.

Missiles were launched at the enemies, nukes were sent to a vast empty unpopulated area that were swarming with monsters.

Massive evacuation procedures had been done almost everywhere. The refugee colony on Mount San Gabriel had been filled with more than 10,000 citizens.

But that didn't include the fact that the portals were almost indestructible from everything.

"Serotonin-1! I need more ammo!" shouted Noire-1, who kept blasting its pair of anti material rifles again and again while also simultaneously controlling four of its floating swords to obliterate the flying enemies.

Inside the convenience store, Serotonin-1 had been abusing the calibration of its waist ammo racks by only drawing and putting the ammunition inside again and again, creating an infinite ammunition glitch due to the Ammunition Consumption 1% calibration that was placed on it

"They keep coming and coming!" Dopamine-1 swung its hammer, before shooting the elevated enemies with a shotgun.

"I'm currently collaborating with Squad-33, keep the position in hold!" said Serotonin-1. "Just keep protecting Endorphin-1!"

A moment later, a huge purple portal appeared in the airspace. It dropped a gargantuan humanoid entity made out of pitch-black darkness that was 10 times taller than the highest building in Los Angeles.

Serotonin-1's confident face turned gradually paler. "What in the world…"

The humanoid entity then stood tall, before morphing both of its hands into that of an assault rifle.

"I REPEAT! EVERYONE IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE FROM THE AREA!!"

An outburst of large rounds were unleashed to everything from the east part of the city from the middle where the humanoid entity stood firm.

30% of the City's infrastructure was annihilated in a matter of seconds.

Earth's Human Population: 3,576,330,191.

Number of H-dolls: 2910.
