Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1067 - 288: Tearing Through the Boundary of Reality and Virtuality

The Decayed Legion tried to intercept, but in the torrent of data, the chaotic state created vulnerabilities in the defense.

After the digital assassin approached the heart's location, Kong Jie took charge of the assassin's control and began the invasion.

Twelve Zeroers simultaneously placed their hands on the tower's surface, releasing deconstruction viruses.

Cracks appeared on the black tower's surface, and the pulse of the Corroded Heart became chaotic.

The entire Decayed Continent began to tremble, and the ground split into bottomless fissures.

At that moment, a powerful wave of consciousness erupted from the tower.

"You cannot destroy The Eternal," the Corroded Dominator's voice sounded like a rusty machine in operation, unbearably shrill.

"Governor, the decayed civilization has entered the second stage."

"I understand, initiate the purification protocol!" Kong Jie issued the command coldly.

The brutal war lasted an entire day. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But in the game world, eight months had passed.

Under Kong Jie's command, the Divine Punishment Spear of the Virtual Rune Empire pierced the decayed land, pronouncing the death sentence of this ultimate civilization.

"Begin energy absorption, converting to Apocalypse Points, the ultimate weapon is about to meet the conditions for activation," the illusion's voice sounded.

Kong Jie raised his hand, his fingertips gliding over the holographic projection before him.

The projection displayed the activation interface of the ultimate weapon, a simple countdown floating.

Dispelling the interface, Kong Jie's figure hovered atop the Seven Continents, looking at the Seven Continents now fully occupied by the Data Legion, a smile appeared on his face:

"Illusion, I've fulfilled the agreement." His voice was soft, but carried a sense of relief.

Illusion was silent for a moment.

This silence was longer than any data delay ever experienced.

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor, all Seven Continents have been fully incorporated into the Virtual Rune Empire, and the ultimate weapon is about to be fully charged."

Kong Jie gazed into the distance.

The taste of victory was sweet, but somehow carried a hint of bitterness.

"I have to go."

This time, Illusion's response came quickly:

"According to the agreement, you are still the highest governor of the virtual civilization. Although we have completed the ultimate challenge, your neural link status is detected as good, and you can fully continue..."

"Illusion," Kong Jie softly interrupted it, a touch of reluctance in his eyes:

"You know, this isn't a technical issue."

"Are you returning to the real world?" Illusion's voice lowered by a few degrees.

Kong Jie nodded, wanting to say more, but ultimately chose silence.

The real world has entered an apocalyptic state; he didn't want to leave, yet the ending was beyond his choice.

"I respect your choice... Governor, good night."

Clink.

Kong Jie took off the Light Brain Helmet, after a long silence rose and went to the balcony, pushing open the floor-to-ceiling window.

The evening glow shone on him, tinting his face with a layer of warmth, and the breeze brushed past, carrying a hint of scorched air.

He leaned against the railing, overlooking the once-familiar city.

The skyline in the distance had changed, several iconic skyscrapers tilted, as if twisted by some force.

Farther away, thick smoke rolled up, faintly visible were a few ghostly blue beams piercing through the clouds, like a Death Reaper Scythe slicing the earth.

Chaos was spreading through the streets.

Car alarms blared continuously, yet no one paid attention.

The crowd surged like a tide toward the city's edge, but Kong Jie knew it was nothing but a futile struggle.

The End of Dharma Clan's erosion had infiltrated every corner of the city, their predetermined ending was about to arrive.

"Leaving this damn world is really a bit hard to part with," he said softly, pulling out a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

A moment later, a dazzling blue light erupted from the city center, spreading outward like ripples.

As it passed, building surfaces rapidly peeled, metal structures twisted and deformed, glass turned to powder.

Kong Jie squinted, watching the light grow closer, like a silent tsunami devouring all matter in the city.

The tall building he was in began to tremble, the walls moaned under their burden.

The balcony railing in his hand slightly heated up, showing minute cracks on the metal surface, as if corroded by time acceleration.

In the distance, a tower collapsed with a roar, a cloud of dust rising.

The wind stopped, leaving only his steady breathing.

Kong Jie took a deep breath, and towards the direction the blue light spread, slowly closed his eyes and opened his arms, ready to embrace his end.

"Goodbye, illusion."

At that moment, the ultimate weapon's countdown in the virtual world hit zero.

The previously silent illusion suddenly opened its eyes.

Countless information surged into its mind as the ultimate weapon began.

Monster World, Earthquake Continent, Mechanical Army battles, civilization destruction, ripping space apart with a seed vessel to escape to a Small World... The final answers to what troubled it for ages were revealed at this moment.

The power of "Dimension Upgrade Rule" of the ultimate weapon was activated at this moment.

...

On the other side.

After closing his eyes for a long time, Kong Jie slowly opened them.

He found the sweeping blue light in the city had actually frozen.

Like it had been paused.

Soon after, a buzzing came from above.

Looking up, the sky was like a fragile mirror, spiderweb-like cracks spreading from above his head, revealing the darkness of the abyss behind.

Golden runes poured down like a torrential rain.

The next moment, Kong Jie widened his eyes.

The boundaries between virtual and reality were broken at this moment.

The first to step out of the space rift were the very familiar Rune Guards, these warriors composed of pure energy, with armor flowing with galaxy-like brilliance, and the emblem on their right chest was personally designed by him.

The arrival of the Rune Forbidden Army disrupted the gravitational field of the earth, the leading Forbidden Guard Commander raised his hand and a golden light curtain stretching across the city abruptly unfolded, forcibly pushing back the destruction beam released by the End of Dharma Clan.

Subsequently arriving were the enormous Imaginary Number Battleships, these giants meant to exist in games were now sailing out from the dimensionally upgraded rift in two-dimensional space.

In Kong Jie's incredulous expression, a familiar voice sounded in his ear:

"Detected our Governor encountering a life threat, the Virtual Rune Empire has activated war mode, fighting to protect the Governor!"
