One of the more experienced hackers leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowed and frowned. "They must have known we'd come for them again. What if they had intentionally let us in during the first attack just to bolster their defenses? They've likely set up a honeypot to gather intelligence on us."
The room fell silent as the gravity of his suggestion sank in. "It's possible," someone finally replied, glancing nervously at the array of blinking lights on their hardware.
"But who has the resources to pull off something like this without making a spectacle of it? The sheer computing power required to run real-time analysis and adaptive security protocols is astronomical."
Just then, a realization struck one of them. "Could it be that the Primordial World source code is an AI in itself? It's renowned for its cutting-edge security features, utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms that continuously adapt to incoming threats. It makes sense if that's what they've implemented."
The mere mention of the AI source code sent a ripple of dread through the group.
"If that's the case, we're screwed," the first hacker muttered, leaning forward, a mix of admiration and frustration in his eyes. "Their security alone has already revolutionized the industry. They must be employing a distributed ledger system to log every move we make, making it nearly impossible for us to slip past it while remaining unnoticed."
Before anyone could respond, a leader from the back stood up, his voice steady and resolute. "I'm going to inform the boss about this. We can't waste time banging our heads against an impenetrable wall. We need a new strategy—one that leverages the vulnerabilities in their human element rather than their technological defenses."

Meanwhile, in a sleek office overlooking the city, the CEO of Youkou Technology paced angrily, his fingers curled into clenched fists. In a sudden burst of frustration, he punched the wall.
"What the fuck is going on in Indra?"
He fumed, "Isn't it said that their IT infrastructure is quite underdeveloped so why the hell new things are popping out like this out of nowhere and that too in Indra..."
"And as if that alone wasn't bad enough..."
One genius was already enough to fuck them over many times, and now another had entered the scene.
Sadly, little did they know that Evan was behind it all, and if they did, they might have coughed up blood.
"Sir, don't lose your composure. It's not over yet..."
Linwei paused and took a breath to steady himself, but the anger simmered still beneath the surface.
The sheer audacity of Omega Gaming to make rapid advancements gnawed at him. He had always prided himself on being a pioneer in the tech industry, yet here he was now, watching while they were not only catching up but even threatened to surpass everything he had built.
"This isn't over," he muttered, determination burning in his eyes. "I'll find a way to take them down. They won't get away with this."
"Hack it!" he yelled.
"Get me the world's topmost hacker... From USL... anyone, I don't care. I want to get that damn thing hacked no matter what it costs," Linwei screamed loudly.
"I will do as you ordered..."
While the two plotted, a certain angry girl overheard their conversation and cursed under her breath.
[Idiot, you are really daring to poke your hands into the snake's nest again... Just wait... If I don't make you cry tears of blood by the Judgement Day, then I won't be Aurora...]
Little did Linwei know that he had finally managed to strike Aurora's sore spot. A mistake the world would soon fear, forcing them to live a life of primordial age for real...
