Chapter 533: Chapter 336: New Game!_3

"The domain you currently control includes: Earth, Blue Star, and the Mountain and Sea Realm. If you wish to travel to other human realms and experience more stories, you may activate the Kunlun Mirror to perform long-distance searches."

"Since the ether phase engine of the Planet Fortress has been preliminarily repaired, you may directly start the phase engine and save the Human World through military power."

The artificial intelligence, Xiao Ai, bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Yue, and her unique voice immediately allowed Wang Hao to recognize it as Xiao Yue’s voice acting.

"Is she still the female lead?!"

However... this voice had a coldness reminiscent of a robot, completely different from Xiao Yue’s liveliness and enthusiasm.

Robots truly can’t compare to humans!

Wang Hao scrutinized Xiao Ai’s appearance, mulling it over in his mind.

Twin pigtails had turned into black, long, straight hair that fell over the shoulders; not too shabby. The short skirt JK style had changed into science fiction-style jumpsuits, which was also acceptable; adding a pair of black-framed glasses on the nose, that seemed rather nice too. But why transform from busty to flat-chested, was it to avoid censure?

That expression on her face was meticulous, a professional and flat smile, with a "keep away from me" demeanor that seemed written all across her face.

Indeed, Xiaoyue was too approachable, like the girl next door—though perhaps that was only towards himself.

Xiao Ai’s cool appearance was the image of a goddess men find unapproachable, to be admired from afar, without any thoughts of striking up a conversation or pursuing her.

"I get it now, so there’s no need for the old ’anchoring’ method, slowly conquering worlds; just drive the Planet Fortress over and conduct a targeted explosion, right?"

Xiao Ai replied, "You may think of it that way."

"But what’s my mission? Just going from one explosion to another?"

Wang meant that this new Chapter in the Game didn’t seem to have any mission requirements, right?

Even in an open-world exploration, there should be a final goal!

Of course, some Games don’t have final goals, like ’Minecraft,’ which is a sandbox-style open Game. Also, most MMOs and mobile games are just about getting stronger for the sake of it.

Xiao Ai responded, "Honored Captain, what needs to be done in the future will require you to exert your own initiative and creativity."

"Here I would suggest that you prioritize the repair of the Planet Fortress in human realms where ruins exist. The current overall repair progress is at 37.88%. By repairing the Planet Fortress, you can gain much stronger combat power."

Her voice was cool and unemotional.

Got it!

Wang Hao’s eyes lit up.

"The subtext from ’Xiao Ai’ is that there might be a very powerful Demon God lurking here, more formidable than the Moon of Illusion and the Great Emperor of Heaven, and I will need to repair the Planet Fortress to match his power!"

This cryptic way of speaking had occurred many times in the ’Cross-dimensional Game,’ and to pass successfully, one always had to be vigilant.

Involuntarily, Wang racked his brains, wondering what this hidden Demon God was, good or bad?

What clues were there hinting at the existence of this Demon God?

Or perhaps, the Captain role he was currently playing wasn’t human but an unknown Demon God? After all, only a Demon God can counter a Demon God!

"[Ambiguously Just]... I see now, I am a Demon God who believes in ambiguous justice, of a neutral chaotic alignment."

...

As Wang continued to brainstorm, a black mass emerged from his shadow.

This ambiguously dark shadow, appearing in the captain’s room, let out a weird laugh at Xiao Ai.

Her eyes widened in shock as she couldn’t face this high-intensity unknown Demon God, and she crashed instantly!

...

"Xiao Ai, what is the room up ahead? Please, introduce it.

"Where is everybody?"

Wang Hao was surprised to find Xiao Ai’s virtual image frozen on the screen, unmoving.

He glanced at the nearby virtual screens, which were all displaying digital gibberish.

The physical screens, on the other hand, were functioning normally.

"What the hell?"

Wang Hao extended a finger and poked her illusory face, his finger passing right through space.

There was no reaction from her, and the spot he poked seemed to be erased from existence.

An [Attack] option popped up on the screen.

He clenched his fist and lightly punched at her face, only to hit thin air.

Wang Hao thought to himself in distress, "Crap, just after logging into the Game, a severe bug has appeared... Could it be that some unknown Demon God has invaded the Planet Fortress?!"

"Can’t be, it just started, we haven’t even finished the Introduction; it wouldn’t jump straight to the final battle."

Confronted with this bizarre situation, Wang Hao was somewhat at a loss, waving his hand back and forth, and soon the virtual image of Xiao Ai deteriorated into gibberish.

...

Luckily, as the owner of the Planet Fortress, even without Xiao Ai, Wang Hao could still enter any room and utilize its functions.

Ahead, the room displayed virtual images of three planets: Earth, Blue Star, and the Mountain and Sea Realm, which could be magnified or minimized at will.

It felt like an Astronaut standing in space, quietly looking down on three planets.

The planet representing the Mountain and Sea Realm appeared particularly large; its oceans, land, and satellites were all bigger by two sizes, like a huge sapphire, truly worthy of a high-level Idealistic realm.

After these three worlds’ histories were severely interfered with, a major divergence occurred, leading to a split from the original timeline and creating a strong space-time tide.

This "space-time tide" was a form of high-level Ideal Energy, which the Planet Fortress would automatically collect to maintain its operations.

"So that’s it, the so-called game points are basically units of Space-Time Tidal Energy; no wonder they are universally useful."

Each time he completed a mission earlier, he would receive some game points, now explained as space-time tide.
