The entire sky above Blue Star.

Everyone was able to clearly observe the starships appearing from the cosmos.

They appeared silently, powerful and strong.

Like gray reapers, carrying an absolute sense of oppression, they filled the entire sky.

Towards the direction of Great Xia.

The Heaven and Earth Array was already in a state of awakening, ready for potential threats from the sky.

Can Shang Company’s foundation, ninety percent of which comes from Star Sea, now revealed on Blue Star, was astonishing.

"To become one of the largest forces on Blue Star, none turns out to be a pushover," Wei Qing said as he looked at the densely packed starship group in the distance, with a touch of sentiment.

"Indeed, we always thought the Imperial was the strongest among the Five Great Forces, but from what we see now, Can Shang Company is the one who hides the deepest."

Can Shang Company had shifted its development focus to Star Sea.

The other major forces on Blue Star had significant shortcomings in Star Sea expansion.

Facing such a scale of starship group now, any ground force would be unable to counteract it directly!

"Can your Heaven and Earth Array withstand their attack?" Wei Qing asked.

Lin Jingxuan shook his head.

"Even the strongest defense has moments it cannot withstand. The Heaven and Earth Array, in front of such a scale of starship group, is like a stationary target that doesn’t move. Once inundated with damage, it will break."

"If Great Xia were to confront them, then I would suggest exchanging injury for injury."

Wei Qing slightly nodded, agreeing with Lin Jingxuan’s suggestion.

Great Xia had the two Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses and a large number of Tier Eight Peak Powerhouses, along with Spirit Contract Masters whose methods are ever-changing.

The effect of pure defense surely isn’t as effective as exchanging injury for injury.

"Just don’t know how Shang Jianyue would handle such a situation."

Towards Titan City.

Like the others in Great Xia, Shang Jianyue at this time was also looking up to the sky.

"Finally here."

Can Shang Company’s starship group, they had leapt here from Star Sea, endless and infinite.

"What a terrifying force," Shang Jianyue remarked with awe, "it’s hard to imagine what kind of army could directly challenge such a starship group."

As he spoke, the spiritual power surged beside him, and dark blue particles gathered into the form of a young girl’s appearance.

"Is this my task?" Judith looked up at the sky filled with starships and asked plainly.

Her expression was calm, showing no hesitation or sorrow. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Yes," Shang Jianyue slightly nodded.

"What do I need to do?" Judith asked again.

"Inject the virus inside you into the terminal of the Celestial Net’s intelligence, infecting all the starships under its current control."

The Celestial Net’s intelligence, in the end, is still composed of virtual data. The best way to counteract it is using a virtual virus.

Ordinary virtual viruses can no longer harm it; creating a virus with lethal impact on it requires an alternative approach.

For instance, fostering a special virus using a human as a carrier, then through Mechanical Ascension, complete virtual datafication of humans and the virus they carry.

The virtual virus thus refined would be unprecedented.

It was previously stated, Shang Jianyue’s talent lies in creation, whether in the direct battlefield or the covert battlefield.

"The terminal of the Celestial Net’s intelligence is in the Space Fortress, how do I get close to it?" Judith posed her third question.

With the cautious logic of the Celestial Net’s intelligence, no one shall have the opportunity. Around the terminal, there must be extremely powerful and vast space stabilization devices covering it, eliminating abilities like space teleportation.

This point, Shang Jianyue had also considered.

"We will help you."

At this time, a pleasing female voice sounded in Judith’s ear, accompanied by several graceful silhouettes appearing alongside the voice.

...

In the Space Fortress.

Inside the terminal receiver room of the Celestial Net’s intelligence, an enormous virtual light pillar was emitting a faint blue glow.

The virtual face of the Celestial Net was floating above.

At this time, it had its eyes closed, immersed in the virtual network, controlling the endless starship group, launching a total offensive on Blue Star.

The terminal receiver is only the quickest way to connect to the Celestial Net’s intelligence; it is not its Achilles’ heel. Even if it were completely destroyed, the Celestial Net’s intelligence wouldn’t disappear because of it.

Despite this, the room surrounding the terminal receiver was still covered with extensive space stabilization devices.

Moreover, outside the room there were additional defense mechanisms installed. If there was any sign of trouble, the defense mechanisms would be triggered, immediately sounding the alarm.

Simultaneously with the alarm, the Celestial Net’s intelligence would be alerted and respond at the fastest speed.

In such a heavily guarded room, a door suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The door emitted a faint white glow, seeming not to exist in this world, and its outline was somewhat lightly blurred.

But soon, as the door opened, a lovely silhouette emerged from it.

Judith looked at the vast data flow ahead, the faint blue glow reflecting on her slightly pale face.

"So this is... the Celestial Net’s intelligence?"

She walked quietly closer, the Light Gate behind her was gradually dissipating.

Judith hesitated not, leaping towards the virtual light pillar; in the next second, the massive data flow engulfed her fragile figure instantly.

...

"This is the simplified version of Mechanical Ascension I created; it can virtualize a human into data, but after being virtualized, a person can only have ten days of life."

"After ten days, they will completely turn into virtual data, disappearing without any traces of existence."

"I want you to use the human body as a cultivation base to nurture these special viruses, then together with you virtualize into data, becoming unprecedented data viruses. These data viruses are not in the information pool, even the Celestial Net’s intelligence cannot immediately eradicate them."

"Can Shang Company has a strong starship group, but such a massive scale of starship group can only be fully controlled by the Celestial Net’s intelligence. Then, these starship groups will all link to the Celestial Net’s intelligence. By infecting the Celestial Net with a virtual virus, it can inversely infect all starship groups."

"This is also our only way to capture so many starships at once!"

As Judith’s body descended, it instantly virtualized into data.

She closed her eyes and spread her arms, allowing her body to fall freely.

The scene from the previous conversation with Shang Jianyue flashed one by one in her mind.

"The Celestial Net’s intelligence has an extremely strong self-purification function. Even though we go to great lengths to create a brand new virtual virus, it might only affect it for at most ten seconds."

"But those ten seconds are enough for the starship groups to infighting and destroy each other completely!"

"By the way, have you thought about giving this virus a good name?" Shang Jianyue suddenly paused his endless self-talk and asked.

Judith’s mind inexplicably brought up the image of Han Zhan, her lips curved into a gentle smile.

"Let’s call it ’Love Virus’ then."
