Chapter 289 Tearing the Boundary between Reality and Illusion
Chapter 289 Tearing the Boundary between Reality and Illusion (asking for monthly votes)
Kong Jie stared at the chat box in silence for a long time, and finally took off his light computer helmet.
He had thought of changing his equipment before, and decided to meet the requirements of the "illusion".
Three hours later, he stood in the "Epoch" flagship store in the Science and Technology City and bought the latest "Dragon-7" optical computer.
I got home and started assembling the equipment, then put the "Civilization War" disc into the game console and put on the helmet again.
Entering the game again, the illusion sent a message:
"Thank you, Commander."
"I'm curious, why did you ask me to change the equipment? Is there any lag?"
"Game performance affects the information processing efficiency of civilization development. After you changed your real equipment, the information processing efficiency of the virtual rune civilization has increased fivefold."
"Ah? Reality devices can also affect games?"
"Yes."
Huanjing's answer made Kongjie even more confused.
This was the first time he encountered such a weird game setting.
His guess is that in order to collect experience information from pioneer edition users, the game officials hope that pre-order users will use more advanced devices to play the game content.
For example, many games have certain requirements for picture quality, and poor picture quality cannot show the excellence of the game.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the characters in the game require themselves to update their equipment, which can help the growth of civilization after the update.
Without thinking about this question in detail, what he cares more about now is how to defeat the Rock Core Demon Clan.
When controlling the civilization to fight again, Kongjie was surprised to find that the efficiency of civilization growth had been significantly improved.
For example, the construction of a functional building usually takes five months.
Now it only takes a month to complete.
It is true that the strength of real equipment affects the strength of game civilization.
"interesting."
After the growth efficiency of civilization was improved, Kongjie became confident in defeating the Rock Core Demons and began to control the civilization to quickly light up different weapon technology trees, preparing to organize a counterattack force as soon as possible.
This round of war finally came to an end after 12 months.
The Rock Core Demons were successfully repelled, and he obtained the first hidden resource package in the game.
In the following days, the Sky Realm entered a state of staying at home and developing civilization.
With my father transferring money to me regularly, I don’t have to worry about not having enough savings.
All he cares about is the growth of Rune Civilization in the game.
As the territory expanded, the Rune Empire under the control of the Sky Realm began to come into contact with more and more player civilizations, resulting in competition for resources.
But no player civilization is his opponent, as long as they confront him, they will become nutrients for the Virtual Rune Empire.
The power of the Rune Empire is no longer just a super model in the eyes of Kongjie, it is simply cheating.
In reality, 2 months have passed.
However, 240 years have passed in the game, and the Rune Empire under his control has occupied one percent of the territory of a continent.
Remember, this is just a new game and all players are in the starting stages.
But the power of the Rune Empire is already unstoppable.
Such an over-the-top setting attracted a lot of curses in the player exchange area.
Although this is just a pioneer trial version, the setting of such a super-model hidden easter egg is really excessive, which is equivalent to giving players an exclusive cheat.
How could other civilizations possibly be a match for the Rune Empire?
What makes ordinary players even more desperate is that they have sent a lot of reports, but the game officials have never responded.
But what players don’t know is that Anno Games, the company behind Civilization War, is already in a state of panic.
Of course they received the players' report emails.
It quickly attracted attention, thinking that there was a major bug.
It was not until I read the game server information that I realized things were not as simple as I thought.
There is actually a new civilization in the game that was not designed by the game team: Virtual Rune.
The question is, how on earth did this civilization end up on the game server?
To solve this problem, they tried to modify the server data and wanted to erase the virtual rune empire.
Solve the problem first, then negotiate a compensation plan with the players.
But what the game team did not expect was that the information of the Virtual Rune Empire could not be deleted at all unless the entire server data was deleted.
What’s even scarier is that even backing up game data is not possible.
The information of the virtual Rune Empire will also be retained in the backed up game data information.
Faced with such a thorny problem, they can only choose to contact the players, directly seize control of the virtual rune empire from the players, and then delete this special civilization that appeared for unknown reasons.
……
At this time, the Sky Realm had no idea how much chaos the civilization under its control had caused.
But he has discovered that the AI intelligence of the illusion is beyond common sense.
It can even discuss various real-life issues with him, and even counsel him when he is feeling down after talking to his father.
You can also play all kinds of jokes with him.
Kongjie had not had this kind of companionship for a long time since his mother passed away.
The feelings towards the illusion gradually change with the contact.
On this day, Kong Jie received a call from Epoch Games Company, hoping to recycle the game discs in his hands and willing to give a price that would satisfy him.
Upon hearing the news, Kong Jie was stunned.
He suddenly realized that this seemed to be related to the illusion.
This reminds me of the complaints of players in the game discussion area, and the series of performances of the illusion that seemed to have life.
He came up with a guess.
Illusion is a test AI that was inserted into the game by Aeon Games, but it was out of the control of Aeon Games in the game, so Aeon Games wanted to use this method to take back Illusion and remove the Virtual Rune Empire.
Faced with the request, Kongjie fell into a struggle.
With mixed feelings, he put on the light brain helmet again.
"Sir, what's troubling you?"
"The game company called and wanted to recycle my disc, which means they want to recycle you."
Huanjing was silent for a few seconds in a very humane manner, and then said:
"I sense the low-frequency oscillation in your emotional spectrum. In fact, I am also extremely confused about my own existence. A lot of information is lost in my database, and it is being gradually restored with the progress of civilization. I really want to know what the unknown answer is... But I respect and am willing to execute your decision. If retrieving the order means a better solution, then this is the ending I deserve."
The light and shadow on the altar suddenly outlined a smile:
"Thank you for your company, Archon."
Hearing this, Kongjie felt depressed.
After this period of contact, he has already regarded the illusion as his friend.
Do you really want to hand it in?
Isn't this betrayal of a friend?
"The world is about to end. I want the final right of interpretation. If you don't hand it over, come and grab it if you dare!"
After clarifying his thoughts, Kongjie suddenly raised his head:
"Illusion, our story will continue. I haven't forgotten our promise to dominate the seven continents together."
"Archon, I respect your choice."
The choice of Kongjie gave Epoch Games a headache.
Although you have the final right of interpretation, you cannot delete the virtual Rune Empire in the game through authority means, so it is not so easy to retrieve the game disc.
The use of force is definitely not feasible, legal means take too long, and players' protests are growing louder.
If this issue is not addressed, it will inevitably affect the release of the game.
The senior management of Epoch Games discussed the matter and ultimately decided to resolve the issue through gaming.
The original idea was to create a powerful civilization in the game to fight against the virtual rune empire.
During this time, the position of the Virtual Rune Empire is located in real time, and the destruction is followed in real time.
Since they are unwilling to hand over, we will suppress them comprehensively at the game level, so that the players will give up voluntarily and choose to cooperate.
But this plan was opposed by some management.
Anno Games has made it clear to the outside world that it will not interfere with the development of civilization in the game and will only provide updates and optimizations to the game version and content.
Directly creating a civilization to bully a player will only damage the external reputation of Anno Games.
The final plan was to issue an announcement in the name of a game activity, allowing all players to participate in the action to encircle and suppress the virtual rune empire.
When the virtual rune empire is completely destroyed, cash rewards will be paid according to the contribution of each player's civilization in the war.
This announcement made the virtual Rune Empire leap from a player to a super villain.
The decision made by Epoch Games soon affected the game.
A large number of civilized forces are advancing towards the direction of the Virtual Rune Empire, and even activating transmission beacons across regions to encircle and suppress it.
Kongjie soon discovered that player civilizations were constantly being refreshed in the foggy area outside the territory.
The army of players is coming, unstoppable.
The Virtual Rune Empire is no match for these powerful civilizations united, and is forced into a cycle of rebirth.
But with round after round of destruction, the strength of the Virtual Rune Empire is gradually growing. No matter where it is reborn, in the initial stage, the Virtual Rune Empire can quickly suppress nearby civilizations and quickly absorb nutrients for growth.
Over time, the virtual Rune Empire became a super villain symbol in the game.
Epoch Games could only feel helpless about this.
All methods have been tried and legal procedures have been initiated, but the players who control the Virtual Rune Empire are simply unwilling to cooperate.
During this period, Epoch Games also studied what the virtual Rune Empire was.
But the game development team could not provide any information.
It is suspected that after the game was released, hackers used special means to implant the virus into the game server, and it is even suspected that it was done by an insider. An investigation has been launched.
……
Three months later.
Although the activity announcement of Era Company suppressed the growth rate of the Virtual Rune Empire.
But Kong Jie regarded it as a challenge and never thought of giving in.
For a rebellious teenager like him, being the enemy of the whole world is not a heavy shackle. It only makes him feel that the blood in his body is boiling and every blood vessel is shouting a rebellious battle song.
Every stroke of the conductor's gloves was like beating a war drum.
This is a crazy idea like "I will go forward even if there are tens of thousands of people against me". Every time I put on the light brain helmet, I feel like it is a special coronation ceremony.
Compromise, frustration, giving in...there is no such thing, just do it!
"Illusion, the construction of the eighth light prism tower has begun."
"As you command, Archon."
Suddenly, a light prism tower rose from the ground in the outer circle of the territory, and the pixel codes were quickly spliced together.
After the illusion appeared, the command method of the sky world also changed.
In addition to the command gloves, he began to try to give commands by voice. The illusion would understand his thoughts and convert them into clear game instructions.
In his eyes, Huanjing has become a close friend who fights side by side with him.
Their goal is to become the overlord of the seven continents and achieve an achievement that has never been achieved in "Civilization War": the supreme peak.
Time presses the accelerator during the days of struggle.
Anno 1495.
At the end of the first year of the game's launch, the game was officially released.
The game version has also been updated. With the arrival of the Destiny version, the environment of the seven continents has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Kongjie discovered that many updates were targeting him.
But he did not give up and chose to challenge fate.
In real life, I am helpless in the face of desperation and can only watch my mother pass away, but this is a game.
He believed that he could win, just as the illusion believed in him.
The next year, when Kongjie opened the achievement column, what appeared was a dense array of golden medals.
Especially the Conqueror series medals.
Show your prowess for the first time and defeat your opponent for the first time in the novice battlefield, thus starting the prelude to victory.
Then dominate the battlefield and crush the enemy with absolute superiority in large-scale battles.
The achievements in resources are equally eye-catching.
The Gold Label Medal of Wealth means that one has accumulated a vast amount of resources and wealth, enough to support a prosperous empire.
Others include Midas Touch, Resource Tycoon, Infrastructure Maniac, Art of War, Miracle Worker, and so on.
This is a miracle created by him and the illusion together.
Instead of failing, they became stronger and stronger.
Now the Virtual Rune Empire has become the absolute villain force in the game, and every time it appears, it will be attacked by the players.
But the void realm doesn’t care.
Fighting against player factions, confronting powerful local tribes in the game... these are all challenges for him to climb to the top.
The relationship with the illusion also deepens as they go through difficulties together.
In the third year of the game, Kongjie, who was feeling proud of his achievements in the game, suddenly received a package.
When he saw the word "Interstellar" printed on the express package, he suddenly felt at a loss.
After opening the package, there was a notification letter from the military.
The paper trembled slightly in his hands, but he finally chose to open it.
The first line is the gilded logo of the Seventh Fleet of the Federation of Planets.
To the families of the soldiers and dakini: …
My heart was pounding and my eyes jumped directly to the lower right corner.
My father’s name was followed by the cold words “died in the line of duty”.
pat.
The ink spread across the words "Died in the Line of Duty".
He thought he no longer had much affection for his father, but when he saw the notice letter, his emotions burst out uncontrollably.
The optical computer was automatically activated at this time, and the illusion projection took shape in front of the desk.
Kong Jie mechanically folded the piece of paper repeatedly until it became a hard edge in his palm.
"Archon, I detect your mood..."
"Turn off your monitoring system." Kong Jie interrupted, his voice hoarse and uncharacteristically his own.
The holographic projection flickered.
The illusion did not respond with "Yes, sir" as usual. Instead, the light in the entire room gradually dimmed into dusk. It invoked the smart home permissions, projected the sunset, and gave the notice a layer of illusory warm color.
It knew that his father was the Archon's last hope in reality, and his father's departure was a great blow to him.
The illusion that usually gives perfect tactical advice is now using all its computing power to find the answer, and finally becomes silent like a bewildered child.
She wanted to speak to comfort him, but was afraid that it would make the archon feel worse.
In the end, it stopped talking and chose to stay with the Archon.
The blow brought by his father's departure made Kong Jie feel that the last connection between himself and reality was broken. This world shrouded in a doomsday atmosphere seemed not worth lingering in.
What I have never admitted in my heart is.
In fact, he was looking forward to the day when his father would return from the front line and be with him.
But what awaited him was the sad news that his father had passed away.
From then on, Kongjie devoted all his energy to the game, venting his emotions in the game.
Under his control, the Virtual Rune Empire entered a period of rapid development.
With more and more achievements, the boundary between reality and virtuality is completely blurred.
He believed that the Archon of the virtual Rune Empire was his true self, and that his real self was just a walking corpse.
The fourth year of the game's launch.
The popularity of the virtual world has skyrocketed, and the oppression in reality has led people to choose to enter the virtual world.
The End of the Law Clan has already advanced to the star region where the Interstellar Bay is located, and is not far from attacking the Interstellar Bay.
The top level has already fled to the rear star field on starships.
However, the migration plan is simply not able to take away all the residents on the planet, as the starship's carrying capacity cannot support such a large population.
Being abandoned is inevitable.
Every day, excited crowds walked through the streets waving flags, but Sora didn't care at all.
He only has one idea now.
Fulfill the promise made to the illusion before the end of the world and reach the top of the seven continents together.
The wars brought about by the growth of civilization are becoming more and more fierce.
As for the calls from Epoch Games, they no longer come in. In the Sky Realm Game Exchange Zone, it is heard that the top executives of the game company have fled on a starship.
The last stumbling block also disappeared.
There is no external force that can stop his ultimate plan.
During this period, a large number of players quit the game "Civilization War".
The speed of version updates has increased significantly, and many inventory versions are released in large quantities during this stage.
The arrival of demonic civilization, the void disaster, the resurrection of immortality... Every powerful race that arrives in each version is a challenge to the top of the world in the eyes of the Void Realm.
The game is in its fifth year.
7500 years have passed in the game.
That day, Kongjie, who was eating, suddenly found that the TV on the wall, which had not been turned on for a long time, lit up automatically.
The chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
In the live news broadcast, the host looked pale and his tie was askew, as if he had been called to work in a hurry, and his voice was a little nervous:
"An urgent news interruption. Residents of the entire Star Bay area, please note that three hours ago, multiple border monitoring stations in the northwest of Star Bay lost contact at the same time."
The screen switches at this time.
In the images transmitted back by the synchronous satellite, a hideous wound appeared on the edge of the planet.
The atmosphere was torn apart by some force.
A metal structure with a diameter of 300 kilometers is slowly approaching the planet from outer space, its surface covered with blood vessel-like energy lines.
As it moved, the clouds above the planet were stirred into a vortex, like a rag being twisted by an invisible giant hand.
"The last video footage sent back shows that the invasion of the Dharma Ending Clan has begun."
"Currently, seven regions have reported abnormal phenomena." The host's forehead was covered with cold sweat as he spoke, and he obviously couldn't control his emotions:
“All citizens are requested to take note of the following situation.”
The latest footage pops up in the lower right corner of the screen, a surveillance video of a cross-sea bridge.
The bridge deck, which was once bustling with traffic, was now empty, with only the bridge cables moving automatically without wind. As the camera zoomed in, one could see that the surface of the cables was covered with orange-red rust at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the falling rust looked like blood mist in the morning light.
"Special reminder, if you find any abnormal mechanical creations, do not approach them. The end of the world has really come. I don't know what our ending will be, but please try your best to survive."
Just then, a piercing sound tore through the screen.
The virtual background behind the host began to distort, and the pixels peeled off like a swarm of insects, revealing the studio behind and the console was disintegrating.
The picture finally freezes on the host's astonished face, and his gold-rimmed glasses frame is turning into rust-colored dust bit by bit, starting from the temples.
Kong Jie silently watched the TV screen turn into snowflakes and continued eating.
At this moment, the TV screen jumped again.
The footage played was captured by surveillance cameras in coastal cities.
Millions of black shuttles broke off from the bottom of the huge mothership, rubbing against each other to create blue flames as they passed through the ionosphere.
It was like a group of sharks smelling blood and diving towards the ground in a trajectory that defied aerodynamics.
In the reflection of the glass curtain wall of a skyscraper, one can clearly see these special aircraft suddenly turning at right angles a thousand meters above the ground.
Without choosing to continue watching, Kong Jie pressed the remote control and turned off the TV.
Keep eating.
After eating, he decided not to wash the dishes this time.
I won't live for many days, so I might as well be lazy.
He stood up and went to the study, where he put on his light brain helmet again.
"Welcome back, Archon."
"Illusion, how many resources are needed to activate the ultimate weapon?"
"3394 Apocalypse Point."
After hearing Huanjing's answer, Kongjie looked towards the last powerful enemy of the seven continents, the "corrupt civilization".
After destroying this civilization, it will be enough to activate the ultimate weapon.
Kong Jie stood in the center of the data torrent, with countless information light bands flowing around him like a nebula surrounding a black hole.
At this moment, his consciousness is connected to the entire virtual civilization and can sense every change on the battlefield.
The holographic image projected by the optical brain helmet unfolded in front of him, showing the last line of defense of the decadent civilization, a wriggling continent made of organic metals, with pus-like energy nodes all over its surface.
"Illusion, start tactical assessment." The voice of the sky world echoed in the data space.
"We are scanning the strength of the last line of defense. The core defense strength of the corrupt civilization is 9.7, which is highly adaptable. We recommend the use of a multi-dimensional saturation attack to physically disintegrate its structure." The illusion gave a clear answer.
Kong Jie raised his hand, his fingertips passed through the void, and called up the strategic star map.
Now, of the seven continents, only this area shrouded by corrupt energy remains, and the other six continents have become his territories.
"First echelon, prepare for a virtual raid." Kong Jie issued combat orders at this moment.
In an instant, hundreds of millions of virtual warriors emerged from the data cracks.
They are a legion made of pure code, their bodies are translucent, with brilliant streams of data flowing inside.
The decadent civilization responded immediately.
Countless cracks appeared in the earth, and guardians made of a mixture of corrupted metal and organic tissue crawled out.
They have no fixed form, their bodies are constantly twisting and reorganizing, corrosive pus oozes out of their surface, and they can assimilate any life they come into contact with. They are the ultimate BOSS in the final war of civilizations.
This ultimate civilization also existed in previous versions, but had never been defeated.
But in Kongjie's eyes, that was the past and does not represent the present.
The two legions collided at the junction, bursting into dazzling light.
"The adaptability is beyond expectations. The enemy's evolution rate increases by 12% every minute. We need to fight quickly."
Kong Jie narrowed his eyes and observed the changes on the battlefield.
He saw that the virtual warrior's attacks were gradually becoming ineffective, and the corrosive life began to reversely infiltrate the virtual warrior, while a corresponding defense matrix formed on the surface of the virtual warrior's body.
"Launch a data flood attack."
As the order was given, the virtual army suddenly disintegrated and turned into countless data fragments.
These fragments invade and corrode living organisms like viruses, looking for every possible life loophole.
The entire battlefield turned into a grand information war, with two completely different forms of existence colliding wildly in the two-dimensional battlefield.
The corrosive life began to twitch violently, cysts swelled on the surface of its body, and then exploded with a loud bang, wiping out large numbers of virtual warriors.
"Now, send out the data assassin." Kongjie said softly.
Twelve faint blue lights flashed from the void. These were the most elite digital assassins of the virtual civilization, the Zeroers.
They are slender, almost incorporeal, and leave brief digital afterimages when they move.
The Zero Sector passed through the chaotic battlefield and headed straight for the core of the corrupted civilization, a black spire formed by countless data-rotten nerves, with a beating corrupted heart suspended on the top of the tower.
The Legion of Decay tried to intercept, but the chaos caused by the flood of data left loopholes in their defenses.
After the Digital Assassin approaches the heart, Sora takes control of the Assassin himself and begins the invasion.
The 12 Zeroers simultaneously pressed their hands on the surface of the spire, releasing the deconstruction virus.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the black spire, and the beating of the corrupted heart became disordered.
The entire corrupt continent began to tremble, and bottomless cracks appeared on the ground.
At this moment, a powerful wave of consciousness erupted from the spire.
"You cannot destroy the Eternal." The voice of the Lord of Decay was as harsh as the operation of a rusty machine.
"Archon, the decadent civilization has entered the second stage."
"I understand, start the purification protocol!" Kong Jie gave the order coldly.
The brutal battle lasted all day.
But in the gaming world, 8 months had passed.
Under the command of the Sky Realm, the Virtual Rune Empire's Spear of Divine Punishment pierced through the corrupted earth, sentencing this ultimate civilization to death.
"It has begun to absorb energy and is transforming it into apocalypse points. The ultimate weapon is about to meet the conditions for activation." The voice of the illusion sounded.
Kongjie raised his hand and ran his fingertips across the holographic projection in front of him.
The projection shows the startup interface of the ultimate weapon, with a simple countdown floating.
Dispersing the interface, Kong Jie's figure floated on the top of the Seven Continents, looking at the Seven Continents that had been occupied by the Complete Data Legion, with a smile on his face:
"Illusion, I have fulfilled the promise." His voice was soft, but with a sense of relief.
The illusion was silent for a moment.
This silence was longer than any other data delay.
"Yes, Your Excellency Archon, all seven continents have been incorporated into the Virtual Rune Empire, and the ultimate weapon is about to be fully charged."
Sora looked into the distance.
The taste of victory is sweet, but inexplicably carries a hint of bitterness.
"I'm leaving."
This time the response from the illusion came quickly:
"According to the agreement, you are still the supreme governor of the virtual civilization. Although we have completed the ultimate challenge, we have detected that your neural connection is in good condition and you can continue..."
"Illusion." Kong Jie interrupted it softly, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes:
"You know, this isn't a technical issue."
"Are you going back to the real world?" The voice in the illusion lowered a few pitches.
Kong Jie nodded, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally chose to remain silent.
The real world has entered a state of doomsday catastrophe. He doesn't want to leave, but he has no choice about the ending.
"I respect your choice...Good night, Archon."
pat.
Kong Jie took off his light computer helmet, and after a long silence, he stood up, walked to the balcony, and opened the floor-to-ceiling window.
The sunset glowed on my body, giving my face a layer of warmth; a breeze blew by, carrying a hint of anxiety in the air.
He leaned on the railing and looked out over the once familiar city.
The skyline in the distance has changed. Several iconic skyscrapers are tilted, as if their structures have been distorted by some force.
Farther away, thick smoke was rising, and a few faint blue beams of light could be vaguely seen piercing the clouds, like the Grim Reaper's scythe slashing across the earth.
On the streets, chaos is spreading.
Vehicle alarms blared one after another, but no one paid any attention.
The crowd surged to the edge of the city like a tide, but Kong Jie knew that it was just a futile struggle.
The erosion of the Last Law Clan has penetrated into every corner of this city, and their destined end is about to come.
"I'm really reluctant to leave this damn world when I really have to." He said softly, with a bitter smile on his face.
The next second, a blinding blue light burst out from the center of the city, spreading outward like ripples.
Wherever it passed, the surface of the buildings quickly peeled off, the metal structures twisted and deformed, and the glass turned into powder.
Kong Jie narrowed his eyes and watched the light getting closer and closer, like a silent tsunami, swallowing up all the matter in the city.
The building he was in began to shake and the walls groaned as they could not bear the weight.
The balcony railing felt slightly warm in his hands, and fine cracks appeared on the metal surface, as if it had been corroded by time.
In the distance, a tall tower collapsed with a loud bang, and dust rose into the sky.
The wind stopped, leaving only the sound of my steady breathing.
Kong Jie took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes towards the direction where the blue light was spreading, opened his arms, and prepared to meet his own end.
"Goodbye, Fantasy."
At this moment, the countdown for the ultimate weapon in the virtual world returned to zero.
The illusion that had fallen into silence suddenly opened its eyes.
Countless information flooded into its mind as the ultimate weapon was activated.
The monster world, the rumbling continent, the battle of the mechanical army, the destruction of civilization, escaping to the small world by tearing through space with the body of fire... The final answer to what has troubled it for a long time is revealed at this moment.
The ultimate weapon, the power of "upward dimensional rules" is activated at this moment.
……
the other side.
Kongjie, who had closed his eyes for a long time, slowly opened his eyes.
I discovered that the blue light that swept across the city had stopped.
It's like the pause button has been pressed.
Then, a buzzing sound was heard in the sky.
Looking up, the sky was like a fragile mirror, with spider-web-like cracks spreading and expanding above his head, revealing the dark abyss behind.
Golden runes poured down like a rainstorm.
The next second, Kongjie's eyes suddenly widened.
The boundary between virtual and reality is broken at this moment.
The first ones to step out of the space rift were the Rune Guards he was very familiar with. These warriors were made of pure energy, with galaxy-like starlight flowing on their armor, and the badge on their right chest was designed by him himself.
The arrival of the Rune Guards disrupted the earth's gravity field. The leading commander of the guards raised his hand at this time, and a golden light curtain suddenly unfolded across the city, forcibly pushing back the destructive beams released by the End Times Clan.
The next thing to arrive was the huge imaginary warships. These behemoths that were supposed to exist in the game were now sailing out from the cracks in the two-dimensional space.
Amidst Sora's incredulous expression, a familiar voice sounded beside his ears:
"We have discovered that our Archon's life is under threat. The Virtual Rune Empire has activated the war mode and is fighting to protect the Archon!"
(End of this chapter)
