Chapter 992: Chapter 719: The Difference Between Battle and Daily Life
The Dusk mercenary who came to kick in the door... Well, a Proxy Agent would do. Boundary Breakers here in this world are quite knowledgeable about this world, and their combat effectiveness would be greatly influenced so long as they do not have the ’Eye’.
With proper handling, even if it is a Proxy Agent... Uh, let’s see which Proxy Agent first.
Recently, there’s been some issue in the Great World, they temporarily became unable to contact the Great World, and even the Descent of God Technique became unusable, this made them somewhat uneasy, but retreating is still not a problem.
They all bear the mark of the Boundary Breaking Organization from the Great World, which allows them to return smoothly without needing any action from the Great World’s side.
But being unable to contact the Great World means they can’t get timely information, which makes them somewhat passive, not knowing what happened in the Great World gives them an unsettling feeling.
Still, the mission must be completed. In the past, contact wasn’t easy either; it was normal to lack substantial news for several months, or even several years—they are accustomed to it.
Until recently, the Great World updated its technology, and having adapted to the convenience of rapid communication, they now find it somewhat difficult to adjust to its sudden unavailability.
"Where are the invaders’ traces?"
"Uh, the other party has some kind of technology that allows them a certain degree of camouflage, and we have yet to spot the enemy’s traces," another Boundary Breaker said while looking at the monitor. The lightning’s power was not weak, but the defenses of the Central Tower were also strong.
That strike was akin to recharging the Central Tower; it did not cause any substantial damage here. Instead, the enemy’s traces have yet to appear, which is somewhat disconcerting.
"Go search! And get everyone else moving too!"
Soon the Boundary Breakers within the entire Central Tower were mobilized. It’s the final moments, and nobody was thinking about slacking off. Finish the last Breakworld, and afterwards, do whatever they want.
Inside the Central Tower.
Zheng Yichen walked through the passages inside, as if nobody else was there, observing staff members on both sides who naturally bypassed him upon seeing Zheng Yichen, not because he was invisible.
Rather, in the Eye World, what they saw was the same information as themselves, all employees of the Central Tower. Since they’re colleagues, there was no need for concern.
With Lilith’s assistance, Zheng Yichen moved through this place like a fish in water, although the disguise was on a small scale. The Central Tower’s firewall technology was clearly from the Great World.
A full-scale invasion by Lilith would lead to exposure, the previous lightning was just a decoy, to better infiltrate the Central Tower.
After achieving the effect of drawing attention, it lost its significance.
A Boundary Breaker, rushing to gather at the Central Tower, widened his eyes upon seeing Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen reacted faster, but ultimately, this world was not one of a high-energy level.
As he approached that Boundary Breaker, the surrounding environment of the latter changed, or rather, the entire Central Tower underwent a change.
The place was completely pulled into the Eye World; without the assistance of the ’Eye,’ one would be unable to see anything and it would be as if they encountered a supernatural event, like walking into an air wall.
Subjected to all sorts of invisible attacks, but Zheng Yichen was already equipped with the ’Eye,’ and Lilith could also use the Eye device to assist herself.
Therefore, changes in the surrounding environment had no effect on him, but the Boundary Breaker who bumped into him vanished.
The selected security personnel of the Central Tower converged. They were all fighters meticulously selected from around the globe, possessing exceptionally good adaptability to the Eye.
"This is just like playing a video game, right?" Zheng Yichen watched the equipment those security guards brought, and his eyes twitched slightly: "Can you hack their weapons?"
Lilith immediately replied: "No, their weapons are fundamentally manisfestations of spiritual power, not digitally generated, we could interfere with energy, but the effect wouldn’t be great."
Energy interference with spiritual power is like this; in her strengthening, she makes many energy-type attacks ineffective, but spiritual power is a highly personal kind of strength.
What she can interfere with over the network is what ordinary people use, as ordinary people lack combat skills and require the network of the Eye World to assist, while these professional fighters are different.
Their attacks and equipment are built upon their own capabilities, the ’Eye’ is merely a Magic Wand, not simply a networked electronic device.
"That flame... never mind." Zheng Yichen raised his hand to block a fireball, and immediately felt the abnormal nature of this kind of flame display.
Although the flame has a burning effect, it is not purely constituted of Fire Element; it remains a manisfestation of spiritual power, merely with an attached burning effect.
The ice was similar, akin to the ice crystal Heroic Spirit that Zheng Yichen had in his possession.
Because these attacks differed from normal Elemental attacks, Lilith’s energy interference and absorption effects weren’t as effective. Moreover, as the energy level of this world was only Level 5, Lilith’s performance was also impacted accordingly.
Weapons capable of spewing flames were one thing, but Zheng Yichen could even withstand freezing ray guns. However, some had constructed an armor that looked rather formidable.
Zheng Yichen also discovered that normal elemental flames held no advantage compared to the strength released by psychic manifestations in this place.
Even though he was the stronger one, his special attacks could still be partially neutralized. Despite being harmless, the attacks when landed would nonetheless cause sensations of heat or cold.
The Vajra Body was not very effective in this environment. Zheng Yichen utilized the Metamorphosed Body—light as a feather. Wind-type attacks had not even approached Zheng Yichen before he had already evaded them with ease.
The strong currents in the close-combat security guards’ attacks could typically be ignored by Zheng Yichen, allowing him to disregard their offensive.
This layer of current propelled Zheng Yichen away from enemy attacks. With the use of the Metamorphosed Body, some evasions could even be considered passive, and this was still his Metamorphosed Body at a low level of cultivation.
"Damn it, what’s the deal with this guy? He’s not going down!" a security guard within the armor cursed in frustration. His attacks were fast and strong, strong enough to shatter the energy attacks of his allies.
The armor too was a product of psychic manifestation. Although it exhibited physical forms of attack, its core was tied to the energy level of this world.
Any flesh and blood body without defense couldn’t withstand his punch, but the problem was that it was meaningless if he couldn’t land a hit.
Not only that, but he also saw Zheng Yichen’s hand suddenly transform into a dragon claw. The dragon claw seized the armored arm, and with a grating sound of distortion, the entire armored limb was twisted and torn off.
"Be careful! The opponent is a Transformation type!" The guard with the severed arm loudly warned his comrades, quickly retreating as Zheng Yichen noticed the armored limb did not immediately recover.
"Is it because the exhaustion from combat is different from everyday wear and tear?" Observing this, Zheng Yichen completely ground the unvanished armored limb into pieces, which also didn’t disappear right away inside the Eye World.
As for the issue of consumption, ordinary people’s everyday vehicles, even when psychically manifested, are comparable in strength to normal vehicles, if not somewhat inferior, and certainly wouldn’t exceed that limit.
Yet, the armor wielded here could with a single punch explode such a heavy truck; there was no way that the consumption during combat was on the same level as for everyday use.
"Feels pretty good," Zheng Yichen observed his own hand transformed into a dragon claw. Though the dragon claw was not a human arm, after completing the transformation, it didn’t affect the claw’s mobility, and the sensation in the arm didn’t change—it still felt like a human arm.
Wielding the dragon claw, he blocked an incoming attack. Zheng Yichen grinned and swept his hand through the air, causing the participating security guards to experience a wave of intense discomfort.
The disorientation from the spatial distortion almost made some of them vomit, but they quickly adapted to the attack. They were, after all, among the top fighters in the world, not to be so easily defeated.
"It’s not just Transformation type..." a warrior who had deployed a shield murmured in a grave tone.
Those accustomed to fighting inside the Eye World also had varying developments. However, human energy is limited, and to better demonstrate combat prowess, one generally specializes in only one type.
Transformation types like Zheng Yichen mimic the forms of certain creatures, even mythical creatures, although the upper and lower limits of Transformation type are quite high.
Being mythical creatures, such beings do not exist in reality. To construct these, one requires personal capacity to gradually perfect and optimize. But if one can carve out a path, the potential is immense.
Moreover, there were geniuses among the predecessors. Those geniuses created templates of mythical creatures for the Transformation type, allowing successors to learn and imitate. However, the more formidable the template, the harder it is to learn.
Those who do not wish to learn can innovate, provided they have the talent.
Then there is the Energy type, similar to mages, which requires understanding of the power one specializes in using. To this end, some fanatics would throw themselves into cold storage, or scorch their bodies with fire, all to strengthen their grasp on the related energies.
Such extreme methods are not encouraged. One can also grow strong without resorting to them.
Next is the control type, which includes warriors that fight with armor, as well as those using seemingly sci-fi weapons.
This category is more ’realistic,’ meaning that while the control type has a not-so-low threshold, its upper limit is also hard to break. Because it is very realistic, sufficient theoretical knowledge is required.
Of course, even if one is poor in studies, they can still go down the control type path, so long as they can memorize some information rigidly. However, choosing this path means not being an innovator but a user, making it the category with the lowest entry barrier.
