6 Chapter 6: Steel, Energy and Flesh and Blood
Translator: 549690339
Logan opened the T Forum and quickly browsed through it, looking for useful information and the “milestone event.”
“Mineral Veins, Mineral Deposits, and similar terms appear over 1,350 times.”
“There are lots of Ignorant Alien Beasts, especially a lot.”
“Gee, why are people still discussing the ‘City Wall’ goblins that appeared in Zow City?”
“Luckily… No, it should be reasonable to suspect me and then eliminate me as a ‘wrong answer’.”
“Continue… Wisdom Species have frail bodies but tend to have a higher chance of spawning magic-related professions.”
Usually, when a single World Community has a biased characteristic, it could give rise to a Level 2, or even Level 1, or even Dominator Level Civilizations.
Level 3 Civilization: Surface Civilization, the civilization hasn’t given birth to a “Transcendent Tier.”
Level 2 Civilization: Strongest individual of the civilization has broken through the “Transcendent Tier” and can break through the surface.
Level 1 Civilization: Civilization has multiple transcendent tiers and has begun colonizing multiple worlds/planets.
Dominator-Level Civilization: The civilization gives birth to a Dominator and can dominate a World Community.
Hegemonic-Level Civilization: The civilization gives birth to multiple Dominators, dominating the original World Community while colonizing other World Communities.
This was how Hyperdimensional Game ranked civilization levels, which also reveals the cruelty within the Endless Void.
Soon, Logan found the milestone event, it was a projection video, a Deity Player’s final confession and warning –
“Fellow players, my name is Weston Cyrus.”
“When you see this video, I would have already died through self-destruction.”
“You can see, the world behind me is My World. I was relatively lucky and directly skipped the World Fragment stage. The initial race I randomized was High-level Monarch Race Mountain Giant, and part of the Fifth-order Lord level when fully grown.”
“And now, you see that My Planet has been invaded by the native civilizations of this T World Community.”
“They’ve used a special method to block the entire planet, preventing any signals from being sent out. As you know, the Hyperdimensional Game’s information transmission system can also malfunction occasionally.”
“So, I chose to self-destruct. I don’t know if the power amplification during self-destruction can break through the information blockade to convey the news. I also don’t know if you guys are lucky enough to watch this video.”
“Or, it’s possible that all my memories have been extracted, and everything about us has been known by others already…”
“I’ve been quite chaotic in my speech. You’d better watch it yourself.”
Logan noticed the forum debates changed from questioning to silence, and his mood became heavy,
“Cyrus’s words are indeed somewhat disorganized.”
“Microplanet + High-level Monarch Race from the beginning is a high-end configuration that many people dream of.”
“Maybe it’s because his strength is insufficient at the moment, but as a player, his vision must be high-end.”
“It confounded even him…”
Logan narrowed his eyes and clicked on Cyrus’s confession video below.
The video was not long, it was several first-person perspective videos stitched together, and it didn’t take long to finish.
After watching the video, Logan’s face turned extremely ugly –
Weston’s Mountain Giant was the Earth’s favorite child, with elite-level strength since birth, capable of crushing third-order War breed masters.
Almost ten tribes had developed on the whole planet, and there were thousands of elite Mountain Giants.
Compared to all the Newbie Divine Players, even many worlds of Mythical Species couldn’t compete with his current growth level.
However, his enemy was an even more terrifying existence!
They were gigantic steel War Fortresses floating in the sky, as if embedded in the atmosphere!
Each War Fortress emitted a huge Light Pillar that plunged into the earth, and various sci-fi weapons stepped out heavily from the Light Pillar, laden with War Machinery.
Laser beams, or blue-purple plasmas, were fired, easily penetrating the Mountain Giants. Giant iron nets were ejected with tranquilizers, capturing the Mountain Giants.
Those with violent temperament, even tranquilizers could hardly put them down, were rapidly beheaded by war machines wielding cold weapons, then medical devices quickly arrived and carried out freezing treatments.
Even the Transcendent-level Mountain Giant King let out a miserable howl, looking painfully at Weston Cyrus before being captured and pulled into the war fortress.
Weston Cyrus watched this scene, his first-person perspective remained motionless, as if he were indifferent.
Above him, beams of light connected the war fortresses, forming a dense net that tightly sealed the planet!
And right in front of him stood a humanoid war machine, composed of a mix of machinery, energy, and flesh and blood. It was quite small—less than two meters tall.
A halo hovered behind its mechanical head, giving it the dignity of a mechanical deity. Surprisingly, it spoke the Mountain Giant language fluently,
“Not bad, civilization. It took me two imperial hours to parse the language.”
“You seem to be the collective consciousness of this race and possess some autonomous intellectual awareness. But you’re trying to transmit messages outside the planet…”
“As a collective consciousness of a weak civilization without cosmic navigation capabilities, why would you attempt to transmit messages to the universe?”
“You should be unfamiliar with the concept of the universe…”
“Forget it, let’s imprison you. The guild’s instance raid commissioner should be very interested in you. Let them handle the memory extraction.”
The humanoid war machine was quite talkative, but its words implied that it had already regarded Weston Cyrus as if he were completely at its mercy, like a fish on the chopping board or a lamb to be slaughtered.
And in the video, this machine-energy-flesh-and-blood-mixed humanoid war machine seemed even more expressive, as if speaking to others,
“It’s strange. The instances developed by the Imperial Virtual Universe Company are becoming more and more realistic.”
“Just look at the expressions of those Mountain Giant monsters below; they’re so lifelike, the blood and flesh are almost indistinguishable. Back in the day, this would’ve been rated 18+, and as my fans, you’re really lucky!”
“Now, look at this instance boss in front of me. With a basic combat power of 5,340, a template battle power bonus of 3,250, and a Lv.53 Commander template boss, it has a total combat power of nearly 9,000, which isn’t weak even among Legendary players.”
“But to me, who’s about to step into the highest hall of players as a quasi-hall-level player, that’s nothing.”
“I’ll let you in on a secret, too. This time I came out to carry out a mission, and I secretly brought a big fellow with me.”
Just as the humanoid war machine was about to capture Weston Cyrus, a voice-over from the projection came. It was Weston Cyrus’s voice,
“I can feel it, a terrifying presence above me, watching from the war fortress.”
“If it takes action, I’ll have no power to resist.”
“To avoid consuming too many faith points by fighting this opponent and losing my last bit of power to send a message even through self-destructing, I choose to self-destruct immediately in the hope that the message has a chance of getting through.”
“For this, I have only one request: if I can help any of you, I hope that when you can, please lend a hand to my sister. Thank you!”
Immediately after, the voice-over ended and the video continued.
Just as Weston Cyrus was about to self-destruct, the white halo projection behind the humanoid war machine’s head suddenly flickered with red light and it let out a warning. Then, without any hesitation, it quickly retreated!
Boom!
Weston Cyrus self-destructed, intense golden light and a massive explosion instantly expanded, causing the planetary structure to become unstable, making it seem as if the planet itself was going to explode along with it.
The video was about to end, but in the final moments before the video ended, everyone saw a shocking scene.
In Weston Cyrus’s final view, he saw a huge mechanical hand that could block out the sky and the sun. A fusion of machinery, energy, and flesh and blood, coexisting without distinction, emerged in the sky!
Boom!
The planet seemed to moan and tremble due to its appearance!
The giant hand gripped the planet and instantly…
Disappeared!
