Chapter 920 - 920
Chapter 920: Geniuses from Other Worlds?
Myriad Worlds Terminal Headquarters.
The world-level Emergency Mission alarm led by the Supreme Council hadn't stopped yet.
But the monitors playing the main perspective of players had fallen into silence.
The busy Game Architects hurriedly conducted various debugging, finally confirming that the Vanguard Team in contact with that "Calamity Witch" had been completely annihilated.
They didn't even collect any useful information, didn't even react to what exactly happened, before losing all player vision.
Only through replaying the footage again and again, playing it in slow motion, did they see clearly how the other party made the move.
Finally concluding that the Calamity Witch before them was... stronger than the last time they made contact!
Of course, some Game Architects suspected this seemed not to be the "Calamity Witch" they had met, after all, the appearance was different.
But some also argued that this Calamity Witch had a special Disguise Technique to change appearance.
But no matter what, they needed to organize all this matter well, then report it to the Supreme Council.
As for how those 12 big shots decided, that wasn't something they could concern themselves with.
"Restart it. There's an account message lost here. Help me see what's the situation?"
"Isn't losing normal? Didn't that guy choose to self-destruct in the end?"
"Self-destruct? But the self-destruct program was interrupted before it was implemented. Are you sure?"
"That's the Calamity Witch's unique means of cutting the network cable."
With a few sentences of dialogue, a complex process was summarized and defined like this.
And just when they thought these things would pass like this, another piece of news came over.
"An explosion accident occurred in the Vanguard Player resettlement villa area. Someone here has already urged the application for account-player binding cancellation."
"Why send this matter to our department?"
"Uh... the account bound to that Vanguard Player affected by the explosion is the player of this incident. Now this account cannot be found, and the person is dead too..."
"What?"
Hearing these words, the Game Architects present were all stunned.
The game account and the game player ascended to heaven together?!
After a simple silence of a few seconds, the Game Architect responsible for this incident instantly realized the seriousness of the problem!
"How did that player die? The protection force over at the villa area cannot be so loose! How many died? Who did it? Truth Protection Association or others..."
"Neither... it's, it's an unknown explosion. Only his villa exploded, and the fire caused around it. Not those resistance forces. The cause of the explosion hasn't been ascertained yet. It might be privately hiding dangerous explosives..."
After all, players were individuals contacting the essential power of this world.
Even if the headquarters didn't allow holding dangerous items, privately, such things were actually rampant.
Basically belonging to the type of not pursuing if not reported.
If really pursued, a large patch would fall.
"Dangerous explosives? What did he hide in the villa, or did that idiot seek excitement using an infinite pressure bomb as a cup?"
"This... really unclear. Only a simple message came over now. Maybe the fire hasn't even been extinguished."
But no matter what this person said, this Game Architect was no longer in the mood to listen.
As Game Architects contacting the first line outside the world, they were naturally rarely blinded by some inherent cognition.
So at this moment, he was more willing to believe that the one causing all this was that Calamity Witch!
Witches' means possessed that kind of powerful and unknowable spells.
Even those wizards contacting them also mastered weird and dangerous Sorcery.
So this problem was really too serious!
He must report this possibility to the Supreme Council and make those big shots take it seriously.
The Calamity Witch now very likely mastered the means to target the player behind the character!
And this means was physical elimination!
Couldn't even defend against it.
"You! Must investigate this matter thoroughly! No conjecture guidance and misjudgment allowed. Everything based on reality, report up completely, be quick!"
After issuing the task, other Game Architects also looked at their superior somewhat surprisingly, while some had already guessed what exactly happened.
"Apply to revoke the Supreme Directive of other Vanguard Teams at the first moment, return to standby, do not have any form of contact with that Calamity Witch."
"Then what about the Igsuo ground city? If that place falls..."
"Then let those guys dog-eat-dog! We are too busy to handle, why care about such a high-profile Calamity Witch? Leave it for the Supreme Council resolution. This isn't something we can care about."
***
At this moment, after a brief conversation with this "Temporary Vice President of the Truth Protection Association branch", I also roughly understood what the situation was now.
They made a big move.
After paving the way for a long time, they completely made this "Igsuo ground city" independent.
And this city-wide riot was just a symbol of this independence.
The city had long been infiltrated by the Truth Protection Association.
The important thing was actually to take this opportunity to completely clear out some opposing voices.
However... even so, I still had many questions unresolved.
If it were really so, then what did their Truth Protection Association use for independence?
They couldn't even resist the people of the Vanguard Team.
Leave it to miracles?!
Or did they bet everything on me?
Then if I "lost", wouldn't they lose everything?
Many questions seemed not to have much response.
And this Vice President with many prefixes couldn't give an answer that satisfied me very much.
After all, the real Vice President died; he was just temporary, so he didn't know many things.
But no matter what, their invitation for cooperation was sincere.
As for the specific matters of cooperation, both sides needed to negotiate specifically, but the preliminary cooperation was already very clear.
I provided powerful enough combat power to ensure the independence of the Igsuo ground city, while they were responsible for the operation of the city after independence.
After all, no matter how capable I was, it was impossible for me alone to make a huge ground city operate.
Although there were still many loopholes in this, such as... why should I guarantee the independence of a city, why should I help you, etc., there was one point I valued very much.
The Truth Protection Association, they wanted to overthrow this old world and establish a new order.
Wanting to destroy the life of a world was simple, but wanting to make the life of a world listen to you was difficult.
I knew clearly what the positioning of this game world was.
The "material" for repairing the Main World Expansion Realm.
The game world harvested too much soul-substance through their special way.
These soul-substances were an important foundation for life reproduction in the future for the Main World.
Then there were social forms, civilization development, etc.
When repairing the Expansion Realm back then, it seemed somewhat rough, letting the people of an entire Small World experience wilderness survival once.
But the game world, this was a Medium World transitioning towards a Large World.
Doing that again, really could only wait for them to survive in the wilderness themselves.
So the integration of this world must be gentle and orderly.
"I approved the preliminary cooperation. I can let my power serve as the pillar for you to stand firm."
I gave my promise.
Anyway, my target was never which city.
If this Truth Protection Association finally became my obstacle, just kick it away.
In cooperation at the level of interests, even betrayal was common.
No need to talk about trust and friendship, those hypocritical things.
"You go first. I will maintain this city according to my promise, but those petty fights you have to handle yourselves. I need to be quiet here."
I spoke to send them away.
"Okay okay!"
This Vice President named Tang En nodded hurriedly.
Just now, he received news that those Vanguard Teams about to arrive around the Igsuo ground city terminated their actions due to some special reason and withdrew directly.
In other words, they temporarily didn't need to encounter those players again.
Although they believed in the combat power of this Calamity Witch, facing so many players, if careless, they might be beheaded or something.
This was the Vanguard Team's favorite method, quickly solving the leader through individual combat to suppress the riot.
This move was tried and tested even in chaotic areas.
This was the crudest way of rule in the game world.
Associating life with games, as long as not starving to death, no one rebelled.
Plus killing the leader with thunderous means, the others were just a mob!
Games, buildings, housing, etc., all cut off communication between neighbors through special ways, even making a person unable to say the names of their neighbors, even exaggeratedly might not know the gender.
The only friends were friends in the game, and under the arrangement of Myriad Worlds Terminal, they were almost separated by vast distances.
Unable to condense, unable to group, no leader... someone would always compromise constantly for the lowest subsistence allowance, thereby repeatedly lowering the arrogance of resistance.
It can be seen how much the Truth Protection Association paid to set off the independence of a city.
Perhaps they also tried many methods, finally establishing such an association and spiritual leader.
After persuading them to leave, what they should do most at this moment was how to appease those people.
Although this was certainly not all people in a city, it definitely represented that group whose interests were infringed upon in this city.
Later, the Truth Protection Association would render those ordinary people mercilessly killed by the Vanguard Team as seeds of hatred and spread them everywhere.
At this moment, I stayed away from the crowd again, standing on the top floor of the building.
Perhaps only standing high, blowing the wind of the night sky, could have the temperament of guarding a city.
Of course, this was a joke.
The reason I left the crowd and stood at the top of the building with the widest view was because I felt a killing intent targeting me.
Seeming present yet absent, as if very far from me, and accompanied by a sense of being watched.
All this was captured by my Heart Sense instinct.
And this was just my clone.
If it were my main body, I could directly lock onto where the other party was.
I looked around.
The night of this world was filled with light as if money cost nothing, but this world wasn't a technological civilization driven by electricity.
But an alternative civilization built with Transcendent Pixels.
From infrastructure to all aspects of daily life, I could feel that the basic material level of this world had the influence of the power of [Transcendent Knowledge].
I pinched a basic unit of the building from the top, a pixel.
This kind of pixel existed as real as matter, very different from the kind of Transcendent Pixels composing players and those weapons.
In other words, the concept of that kind of Transcendent Pixel could directly create "out of nothing" Transcendent Pixels, and could also create material pixels based on matter.
But this kind of material pixel couldn't disappear out of thin air.
Crushing it only resulted in finer pixel blocks.
Even crushed into fine sand by my bare hands, I could still feel the roughness of the blocks.
Have to say I became interested in this pixel block.
What if I continued to subdivide it?
Maybe I could see through the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell...
Just as I was thinking about exploring material pixels in this way, a silent arrow flew from the night sky.
The speed was fast, leaving me no time to cast spells for defense.
Not long after I discovered it, it pierced straight through my chest like this.
And with the deceleration of my body, I grabbed this arrow piercing my body.
Densely packed runes were carved on it.
No wonder it could shield the perception of the clone.
These runes formed something somewhat familiar to me.
Elf Magic and protection blessing.
I treated this clone of mine with one hand, then looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
Mere fatal injury, for a clone, was simply like tripping on flat ground.
Rather this opponent... I could be sure, the other party was definitely not a person from the game world!
This reminded me of what Cheryl told me, those geniuses who came to this world.
Those who could participate in this event were naturally ruthless people below Transcendent.
And those below Transcendent who could cross worlds to descend here either relied on some force themselves, or had powerful foundations at home, or at worst were ruthless people carrying an entire world on their backs.
Earth Vein Chains eliminate ordinary people.
Meeting in another world, who isn't a genius?
I looked at the figure in the darkness.
Although the clone didn't have Spirit Vision, the unfolded Seed of Great Knowledge shared the real-time information of this area.
After marking the anomaly, there was no need to hide, because I had already locked onto the other party.
But the other party obviously didn't know this.
"You are the first person to injure me since I came to this world. You are not from this world, right? Acting so wretchedly..."
I opened my mouth and mocked directly, using the language of the game world, but the other party didn't move at all.
"Can't understand or haven't learned the language of this world? Coming to this world without even learning the language, this deserves to be called a genius?"
I held the arrow shot by the other party and shattered the Elf Magic on it with a shake.
Then countless finer and gorgeous Annotation Techniques of the power of knowledge surrounded it.
In the next moment, this arrow shot out in a posture exceeding the speed of sound but without emitting a sonic boom!
Pfft!
A low sound of an arrow piercing flesh and blood came.
"I say... you are an elf, right? Why is your style of conduct as lowly as an Imp?"
My disgusted voice accurately reached the other party's ears.
Just a simple sentence, unexpectedly made the other party explode completely.
"You are the Imp! Your whole family are Imps! You damn witch... simply as disgusting as those demons!"
