Chapter 658: Chapter 655: "Go die.

[Have you awakened?]

Su Ming’an opened his eyes.

A pair of jade-like blue eyes gleamed in the dim room as if emitting light.

Dong An’an’s eyes had always been beautiful, like a pair of glowing green gemstones.

Su Ming’an sat up from the couch, holding his aching head.

It was now twelve thirty in the afternoon, he had reverted to the time when he had just received Acto’s memories.

Lin Guang did not want him to die, so as long as he kept away from the City of Gods, the nuclear explosion should not be triggered...

[What are you thinking about?] Dong An’an signed with her hands.

"Nothing." Su Ming’an stood up and drew open the curtains.

He stared blankly at the bustling scenes within the city.

The explanation of the Dawn System by Lin Guang last week felt incredibly familiar to him.

— If Zhai Xing is considered the three-dimensional world and the world game as the two-dimensional world and the organizers as the invading "Other Dimensions"... it fits perfectly.

If a timeline is folded three-dimensionally, and there is a segment that has both a beginning and an end which can’t be extended, like a fixed five days. If the Year 102 Catastrophe’s City of Measurement is deemed the two-dimensional world, then the five repeated days in the Year 72 Catastrophe laboratory seemed quite subtle.

If these three timelines aren’t in the same dimension, with Caius Tower being three-dimensional and the City of Measurement being two-dimensional, what then is the laboratory?

He pondered, continuing to clear the outskirts of the City of Gods following the original route.

By evening, taking advantage of the fact that Lu had not found him yet, he immediately headed out into the outside world, avoiding Lu. An incident had indeed occurred at this point with the combat group, and he had to go save them now.

As long as he stayed away from the City of Gods, the nuclear explosion would not be triggered.

"—Where are you going?" Su Rin abruptly followed behind him like a ghost.

"Just patrolling the battlefield," Su Ming’an found an excuse.

"Take me with you."

...

"Boom—boom—!"

In the afternoon, underneath the crimson cold sun, bloody sunlight spread across the sandy ground.

In the buzzing sound of artillery fire, a hundred thousand soldiers of the Beacon Legion divided into dozens of defensive lines collided with the enemy.

Gold-red glows flashed incessantly; this was Doomsday City’s latest technology, ’Glow Flame Electron Cannons,’ a weapon utilizing the annihilation principle of matter and antimatter to launch positrons and collapse atomic structures to destroy targets.

Wherever the light reached, the enemy forces seemed to have been flattened, leaving huge voids as if numerous gold-red suns were burning amongst the enemy ranks.

"Dada dada—" The sound of gunfire continuously rang out for fire suppression, creating streak after streak of dark pits on the sandy ground.

Due to the fierce artillery fire, people couldn’t even see the remains of the fallen bodies, seeing only the bright red blood and black pits blended together on the ground. Many remains didn’t have the chance to be collected before they were incinerated into bone slag by the subsequent flames.

Che Kylstia, along with a group of Caius Tower combat team members, held position at the rear of the army, tasked with defending the rear trucks loaded with resources and ammunition.

Above the truck, the screen displayed real-time images from the very front of the battlefield. Since the military line was stretched too long, they could only grasp the front-line situation through this means.

In the screen, besides the continuous pollution from hot weapons’ light, the "Source" power also wreaked havoc. Many people wrapped their flesh and blood bodies around the glow of the Source, clashing directly with the enemy’s blue laser cannons.

Among them, Yao Wen, covered in white light from the Source, shaped light sabers around him, throwing themselves towards the enemy’s high-precision weaponry.

Cheng Luohe was at the rear, white Source lights concentrating in his hawk-like eyes. Along with the sound of his crimson sniper rifle, the head of the Divine Legion’s deputy general exploded, causing chaos.

"Shhhhh—" The Divine Legion fired their laser weapons, transforming the azure brilliance into rays, creating an expanse of deep blue sea between the combatants.

"Ding—!"

With a flash of white light, hexagonal defensive barriers erupted around those hit by the lasers, blocking the laser’s dissolving attack. This was the technology of Doomsday City, capable of blocking most single-shot thermal weapons with the H-09 model Yuan Guang Defensive Barrier.

—These technologically suppressed weapons all stemmed from the data left by Acto.

It was because of him that humanity dared to strike back against the deities.

In a war dominated by thermal weapons, human strength seemed negligible. Amidst the overwhelming firepower, people could hardly catch a glimpse of the enemy, only witnessing brilliant, highly saturated fireworks exploding across the sandy terrain.

Xia Sheng was in charge of the legion’s command, constantly monitoring the latest front-line conditions.

A transparent sand table and continuously fluctuating numbers hovered above his wristwatch, his brain operating at high speed.

Even though the Beacon Legion’s weaponry was superior, their lack of depth was evident. The Divine Faction only needed to dispatch the fearless Mechanical Army to deplete their ammunition here.

They wanted to conduct a siege, but the enemy only wanted to wage a war of attrition. As their ammunition gradually decreased, their disadvantage was increasingly magnified.

"Boom—!" Another loud explosion echoed, each burst of "fireworks" on the battlefield signifying at least a double-digit number of casualties.

The battlefield of thermal weapons, unlike the bloody confrontations of cold weapon wars, still swiftly reaped lives like a meat grinder, with corpses strewn everywhere and fine bone fragments scattered like white sand on the ground.

"How terrifying..." From the rear, Doris of the combat group whispered softly. She had grown up in the outskirts of the City of Measurement, thinking she had grown accustomed to life-and-death struggles. But only now did she realize how terrifying war could be.

"Do you still want to initiate the battle for freedom in the City of Measurement now?" Luo Kylstia said at this moment.

The members of the combat group remained silent.

"Acto killed my mother years ago, I would rather start a war just to kill him..." Han, with blue hair, had eyes filled with hatred.

Luo shook her head and did not say anything further.

She could not persuade these people to let go of their hatred, as indeed the inferior personas had been oppressed for a long time.

Hopefully, this revisiting of history could make them understand the difficulties that Acto faced.

Suddenly, she noticed a buzzing sound coming from the eastern sky.

The battlefield was too chaotic, and not many noticed these strange sounds.

"Look to the sky..." she suddenly said.

As soon as she finished speaking, several huge shadows descended from the sky.

They were mechanical beings as tall as buildings, with tough iron bodies, shoulders, and backs covered with numerous gun muzzles, and a massive cannon in the front, gathering a brilliant blue light source.

Xia Sheng looked up in astonishment and immediately shouted orders into his communicator, but it was already too late.

"Boom—!" "Boom—!" "Boom—!" A series of loud explosions marked the moment of horrific casualties.

Giant mechanical beings landed amidst the legion, crushing people’s bodies into bloody mud. With a swing of their arm, the sharp long blades connected to their arms acted like scythes reaping wheat, carving a semicircular blade of blood through the crowd.

With a single slash, hundreds were killed.

If not for the steadfast faith instigated by the Lighthouse Church, the legion might have even broken and fled.

"These are the mechanical beings from the City of Gods—we didn’t receive any information!" Xia Sheng gritted his teeth.

The City of Gods was the only wildcard in this war.

Due to the protection of Lin Guang, people had almost no knowledge of the City of Gods. How advanced the technology of the City of Gods was, how strong its armed forces were... Almost no one knew.

Once the City of Gods dispatched reinforcements on this scale, they would struggle to resist.

"Remote Control Legion, on command, block them!"

At that moment, Rimu Sheng and his team received the command.

Rimu Sheng looked at the three towering robots resembling Gundams, his face turning bitter.

"...Go." Rimu Sheng drew his sword and charged toward a mechanical being. If they dared to disobey orders, their Faction Contribution Points would drop.

Qiuqiu stomped on the ground, bouncing out like a ball, with several hover-gun-like colorful balls emerging around him, sticking to the mechanical being like leaping slimes.

Rui Ying waved his hand, and several wind blades appeared above the mechanical being. He advanced on a Wind Track, as bullets were deflected by the invisible shield around him.

Player from the Angel Clan, Windsor, closed her eyes, sprouting a pair of soft wings. White feathers drifted from behind her, rapidly restoring players’ physical strength and Mana Points.

Apart from them, dozens of players also started to move. They were a special force, specifically tailored to handle such unexpected events.

Flames, wind blades, vines, orbs of light... Lightning-charged arrows, black cutting lines flowing through the air, skull-etched Seeds of Curse, swirling Gates of Stillness, and even several small cats and dogs burning with multi-colored radiance...various distinct player abilities emerged, notably conspicuous on the battlefield.

However, the buzzing sound came from the sky once more.

"This is for real, the City of Gods really wants to doom us..." Sita Xi murmured.

"Boom—!!" Another three mechanical beings landed.

—And the buzzing noise in the sky still hadn’t ceased.

Xia Sheng and others couldn’t understand why the City of Gods was suddenly exerting force, desperately wanting to annihilate their legion.

"Where’s Su Ming’an!" players started to exclaim.

"This is his legion, shouldn’t he come and manage it?"

"He’s far in Doomsday City, how could he possibly come here to save us, only someone fearless like Xia Sheng would personally lead the army."

"Damn, we’re not going to be completely annihilated, are we? No one can restrain the mechanical beings, and this one’s Combat Power is at least over two thousand..."

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a slender figure intercepted one of the mechanical beings. Her black hair whipped up in the hot wind, her form as light as a fine sword. With a single slash, she chopped off a mechanical arm that was rampaging through the fire.

Lu jumped onto the head of the mechanical being, thrusting her sword down, trying to pierce its eyes, but then she saw those heating-up red eyes...

They were also a pair of cannon barrels!

Realizing this, she tried to dodge. Thankfully, Xia Sheng quickly reached out, pulling her back with Yuan.

"Boom boom boom—!"

And at that moment, three more mechanical beings landed.

The legion was already showing signs of a rout, and the players were even planning to flee for their lives.

"We can’t fight this, unless we sacrifice lives..." Rimu Sheng chopped at the mechanical being, his hand numbed by the vibration. He watched helplessly as several players fell under the cannon fire.

"Ding—!"

A faint sound rang out.

Suddenly, several blood-red scales of justice illuminated above the nine mechanical beings’ heads.

At the same time, like an endless sea of blood, the number reaching tens of thousands—every member of the Divine Legion had a blood-red scale of justice rising above their heads.

The surging, densely packed scales of justice instantly spanned a large part of the battlefield. The people of the Freedom Faction remained completely unharmed, while the Divine Legion’s heads were all flashing with this twisted blood color.

—Group Judgment.

Its attack range — was "A circle with the players as the center and the player’s furthest line of sight as the radius, encompassing all enemies within that circle" had on an open battlefield, it would cover the entire battlefield.

Indeed, it now had a terrifying effect in controlling the battlefield.

Fifty thousand troops of the Deity faction, all had the same kind of radiance emanating from their heads.

The next instant,

People seemed to hear a loud explosion coming from the depths of their souls.

...

[Emotion Infusion/Seed of Curse: You can infuse the emotion points you’ve saved into NPCs or players who have been "Judged", changing their mental state and detonating the "Seed of Curse" within them, causing an environmental contamination effect.]

...

"Splash—" At that moment, as if a blood-red tide rose from the battlefield.

Dark, blood-red, like a contaminating black warped shadow burst open over the heads of everyone balancing the scales. They screamed and howled, scratching themselves like zombies, as if a seed of sin had burst open from their bodies, turning the surrounding land pitch black.

The world seemed suddenly divided into two parts.

On one side, everyone in the Freedom Faction quieted down, staring in shocked horror at the grisly scene opposite.

On the other, the Deity Faction had become a muddy hell of flesh and blood.

In the sky, a wheelchair descended from above.

— It just happened to land between the two sides, like a line dividing the battlefield.

The bright red scale motif shimmered radiantly on the back of his hand.

On his shoulder, there was a fox with pink fur and black tentacles like an octopus, swaying, and behind him was Su Rin eating chocolate.

The distant view of the battlefield was faithfully recorded in this epic and staggering scene by the live broadcast.

"Stay here," Su Ming’an said to Su Rin and shot toward the sky, trying to stop the further descent of the mechanical man.

Like a shooting star speeding past, he gradually vanished from people’s view.

"...Why should I listen to you?" Su Rin frowned.

He glanced at the chaotic battlefield, hesitated for a moment, but he stayed.

...

"He was created to be sacrificed."

In a secluded room, Edward said to the woman with sandy blonde hair in front of him:

"It’s been over a decade. It’s time to make a decision, Tretiya. You should have understood, he is not the original Acto."

"..." Tretiya closed her eyes.

Her bright red lips trembled slightly, her emotions extremely perturbed.

"But if he dies..." she said.

"The way the experiments were planned years ago, they were meant to create countless Actos to die when necessary. He thinks he awoke from hibernation, but it was actually a replication chamber. Such chambers are commonplace underground", Edward whispered:

"Let this Acto die quickly."

"Tretiya, his reason for existence is to die for humanity."
