Chapter 1202: Chapter 990: Boss A

Just ahead lies the final battle that leads to the endgame - do you wish to save the game here?

For some reason, such a thought suddenly appeared in Zero’s mind, resembling the considerate system prompt in a game to save progress before confronting the final Boss, as reminded by Song Lan just now.

Only, the one issuing the reminder was none other than the "Boss" himself.

Since the onset of the New Era, military technology has been monitoring Song Lan’s everyday life. His actions are incomprehensible, yet by piecing together the movements of Qi He, the Rebel Army, the Lunar Eclipse Sect, and the Barrosa Group, one can conclude that the seemingly mundane life is a ruse to lull them into complacency, while in reality, a precision operation for Destruction has been planned behind the scenes.

By destroying the Devourers that act as Mind Collection Devices around the world, the mind-linkage would be severed. To rebuild these receptors, it might take another span of over twenty years.

This was a rational inference based on the intelligence they had gathered.

However, just now, Song Lan had overturned all their theories.

He had refrained from any action since the arrival of the New Era merely to allow them ample preparation time.

Perhaps this could also explain why, over the past twenty years, Song Lan had never directly interfered with the military technology plans, and even in incidents involving the Lunar Eclipse Sect and Atlantis, he only acted to a necessary extent.

In 2141, with the death of Benjamin Abell marking a pivotal point, they had spent the subsequent twenty years wracking their brains to solve the enigma he left behind from over two decades ago.

Benjamin Abell was a genius.

Despite his untimely death, he had provided essential insights for future generations.

He was the first to propose that clashing with Psychic Ability Users was like solving a puzzle; the key to victory lay in penetrating the secrets of the opponent’s abilities.

What then would be the scenario of the battle with the ultimate Boss before them?

Would it be as depicted in games with grand spectacles, where both sides take positions and unleash their most destructive moves, leveling an entire city to witness the victory of one party on the ravaged land?

They never thought so.

In fact, this special battle had started over twenty years ago, presenting a puzzle that spanned over two decades, both for them and the Psychic research institutions.

And not long ago, they finally obtained the ultimate answer through the combat test between Song Lan and "Wild Bone."

"It’s alright, I’m not in a hurry."

Seeing that Zero hadn’t taken a step forward, Song Lan kindly reminded, "If you aren’t ready, I can go home first. You can come over once you’re truly prepared. After all, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it’s a wise choice to consider carefully."

He had once been a gamer as well.

Thorough preparation before facing the final Boss is a necessary path for every Adventurer.

Returning to the main city’s inn to replenish health, visiting the most outstanding legendary blacksmith on the main road for the strongest weapon, and then reveling with each companion who will battle alongside, ensuring every partner’s special narrative is completed.

And finally, the most important thing.

Before embracing the last battle, one should take time to appreciate again the splendid scenery of the game’s otherworldly world.

The long-awaited New Era is just beginning, and for a long time, he believes Zero has been overloaded with work night and day. Although the overall trend cannot be defied, the dying struggles of the Review Meeting’s residual forces must have caused them significant trouble.

And now, with the dust settled on this revolution and struggle, it’s the moment to pause and appreciate the fruits of their labor.

"Let’s go."

Zero finally took a step forward, leading the way out of the elevator.

"Wild Bone," with his enormous mechanical body, followed closely behind like a hill.

Undoubtedly, all preparations were now complete, thanks to Song Lan’s inaction, the successful establishment of the mind-linkage, which provided the final piece to their plan spanning over twenty years.

She was well aware that if they backed down now, it could take them decades or even a century to muster the courage to face him again.

They had exhausted all possibilities they could think of; they couldn’t possibly gain more information.

Yet deep down, Zero did harbor doubts.

She was convinced of the revolution they initiated, that everything they did was on the right path; the only thing she couldn’t understand was the decision about Song Lan.

If he was not against the arrival of the New Era as he claimed, why then did they take such unbearable risks to eliminate Song Lan?

Regardless of any forecasts given by RT1, even if they emerged victorious in the war, the price paid would be extremely heavy.

But it was an indisputable oracle given by the consciousness collective.

Zero suddenly recalled Song Lan’s words.

He said the transformations of the New Era were not limited to what they knew; atop the information they possessed, the consciousness collective held other hidden purposes.

She had been observing Song Lan all the way.

As they moved further, the corridors on both sides transformed from the style of a science laboratory to incubation chambers capable of causing mental contamination.
