Neurolink System in the Modern World

In the midst of the dense forest, a man clad in a futuristic, snug-fitting black combat suit stood like a specter. His face remained concealed behind a helmet, the sole source of illumination being the faint green glow of his visor.

He stood on a thick tree branch with ease, almost as if he were a part of the tree itself. His posture were so smooth and precise that it seemed like he defied gravity. .

Moonlight filtered through the foliage, creating patches of light and shadow around him .

"Is this the right place?" he asked

"Yes, Commander, Code Zero is hiding in that cave," another voice chimed in. It was a woman in a matching black combat suit, who stood confidently under the tree trunk. In her right hand, she fiddled with a touchscreen device, displaying data.

Her name was Sophia, and the person she had just referred to as "Commander" was Rad, their team leader.

Aside from the two of them, there were seven more individuals in standby, waiting for orders. The group was ready for action, and to carry out their mission.

This was Cerebrum Team Gumiho, a highly specialized unit. They had been dispatched with a specific mission: to apprehend and neutralize a person known as Code Zero. Their directives originated from Cerebrum Asia, the biggest organization overseeing covert operations across the Asian continent.

Sending Team Gumiho meant this mission was very important, and it needed to be done immediately.

"So, we're really going to meet this legendary Zero," Sophia said with hint of anxiety in her voice.

Code Zero's name was cloaked in death. Sophia had heard only whispers and tales about him, but even if just a fraction of the stories was true, they were enough to send a shiver down her spine despite being part of this specialized team.

Team Gumiho had a reputation as one of the strongest team in Asia. but, the question lingered: How would they fare against an individual who had once held the title of the strongest?

Rad noticed the unease in his team and tried to reassure them. "You don't have to be so worried. He is less powerful now than he used to be," he said, attempting to calm their anxieties."

"Who said we're afraid?" A towering man, standing at around 7 feet tall, chuckled. He was carrying a gigantic saber with a metallic sheen, a weapon far from ordinary. This advanced technological saber had been customized exclusively for him.

In fact, Each member of Team Gumiho possessed unique, tailor-made weaponry crafted exclusively for them. These specialized tools were engineered so they could do coordinated attacks seamlessly .

"Let's move in," Rad ordered, noting that everyone was prepared to proceed.

SWOOSH!

The group moved swiftly, their speed far beyond what ordinary humans could achieve, thanks to the special suits they wore. These suits were crafted from a rare material that reduced their weight, granting them exceptional mobility.

Moreover, the suits possessed the unique ability to counteract Zero's power of attraction and repulsion to some extent. While not enough to completely nullify it, they provided a precious window of opportunity to mount a defense instead of being crushed like a soda can by his immense force.

Zero's danger lay in his extraordinary "Pull and Push" ability, while very straight forward, was elevated to extreme levels when compared to other Gifteds with similar powers. Without these suits, attempting to subdue him was suicidal ; once they entered his range, he could easily obliterate them with a mere flick of his finger.

"Sir, we've detected Zero's presence," Sophia relayed through their communication system, signaling that they had entered his range.

"Prepare yourself , activate you Cyber-Link!" He commanded.

As soon as they received Rad's orders, the visors in their helmets transitioned from a tranquil green to an alerting red.

Red Neon lines began to illuminate on their suits, forming intricate patterns across their attire. Simultaneously, their perception of time seemed to slow down, and their senses sharpened to an extraordinary level.

These effects were the result of a unique feature in their suits. By administering a special chemical directly into their brains, they were granted temporary increase in their reaction time, enhancing their abilities beyond the limits of ordinary humans.

"Number 5, go!" Rad commanded, his eyes locked on the cave where Zero was holed up.

"Roger!" The 7-foot giant's body grew even larger, his suit expanding in response. With a powerful stride, he swiftly overtook Rad, raising his saber high. The saber began to vibrate as he channeled his power into it.

"Die!" He roared, slashing the sword with a tremendous force. The blade unleashed a shockwave that cleaved through the ground, creating a devastating impact as it tore through the rocky mountain, making way for their assault on Zero.

But before his attack could completely slice through, it suddenly stop, and an explosive force pushed it back toward him.

"Not good! Dodge!" He shouted through his communication device, panic coursing through him as he saw his own attack bouncing back.

With lightning-quick reflexes, he raised his sword and unleashed another powerful slash to counter the rebounding shockwave.

*BOOOM!

The moment their attacks clashed, a thunderous shock explosion echoed through the area, akin to the sonic boom of a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier.

"Let's attack him now!" Rad commanded. The chaos provided the perfect opportunity to swarm Zero from all sides. With their suits enhancing their powers, Team Gumiho coordinated their assault.

But as they began to surround him, a sudden and repulsive force from within the cave brought them to a stop.

"Humans borrowing the power of gods?" A voice resounded through the air as the faint silhouette of an elderly man appeared, hovering in the sky.

His appearance seemed frail and unimposing, but everyone present understood not to underestimate this seemingly feeble old man.

"Zero..." Rad's voice was filled with unease as he drew his two guns. Seeing Zero firsthand, it was clear that he was not an easy enemy .
