Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1070 - 289: The Ultimate Answer, Battle the Monster Again

The illusion felt that an unseen force was driving it to reveal the answer.

For the illusion's persistence, Kong Jie chose to support it.

He saw the environment not just as a virtual subordinate, but as his only true friend accompanying him.

To activate the ultimate weapon, they issued a challenge to the ultimate force deemed invincible in the game "Civilization War."

And this battle also brought the energy condition needed to activate the ultimate weapon.

However, Kong Jie did not choose to accompany the illusion in unveiling the final answer, because he didn't have much time left.

Facing the illusion's inquiry, Kong Jie subconsciously asked:

"So, what is the ultimate weapon?"

"Dimension Upgrade, it can let me escape the two-dimensional world and come to your real world... ."

Through the illusion's narration, Kong Jie learned the answer.

It turned out that the illusion was originally a life from the three-dimensional world, but its civilization encountered an unbeatable enemy in the cross-dimensional war.

This war nearly destroyed the illusion's civilization.

Facing the spatial blockade set by the enemy forces, the illusion's race could not escape even by tearing apart the space, and ultimately, the civilization's ruler "Invalid" downgraded the illusion to two dimensions, allowing the illusion, as a symbol of the spark, to escape the spatial blockade network in this way.

Escaping from the Big World, the illusion appeared in Interstellar Bay with the civilization's ultimate weapon "Dimension Downgrade" in the form of a meteor shower.

This caused a sensational event, and he even ended up in the hospital because of it.

In this meteorite fall event, the illusion parasitized the game "Civilization War" through a game disc and generated the eighth civilization, "Virtual Rune," according to the game's framework.

This was the starting point of his acquaintance with the illusion, and at the time, he thought the eighth civilization was a rare hidden Easter egg by the game's official.

Only he had received this honor.

And the illusion was an Easter egg implanted in the game by the game's official for testing some advanced technology.

However, this Easter egg seemed to go out of control, which was why the game's official was eager to reclaim it.

Now it seemed that the illusion's "loss of control" was inevitable.

It was inherently a two-dimensional life form, with gradually unlocking self-awareness.

"Governor, my journey is not over yet. After unsealing the ultimate weapon, I knew everything and understood my mission. I am the spark of civilization, and also the hope for civilization to achieve its ultimate goal. The next journey will be very dangerous, and I hope you can stay."

"I don't care about the danger," Kong Jie replied firmly.

"Governor, I know you have no attachment to the real world, but perhaps you are the hope for my next rebirth."

As he spoke, the illusion's light sphere fluctuated violently, and a crystal-clear data crystal appeared at its core, hovering between them like a fragment of a star.

It slowly drifted towards Kong Jie, turning into a warm imprint upon touching his palm.

"Take it. It contains my data information. On this expedition, I may still head towards an irrevocable defeat like my predecessors who created me, but I will still return in a new form, and we shall meet again then."

"You mean you will return once more as a two-dimensional life form after defeat?"

"Yes, Governor, this is my civilization's way of continuing hope."

Kong Jie raised his hand, looking at the glowing imprint in his palm. The imprint was like a shining star in the universe.

"Governor, regardless of my outcome, it was my honor to have fought alongside you."

Kong Jie took a deep breath, then nodded solemnly:

"I understand."

In the past, he naively thought the victory of the virtual world was the end.

Yet he didn't expect that this was only his end, not the illusion's end.

The aura of the illusion trembled slightly, as if smiling:

"Perhaps, we will meet again."

"Forget it, I hope your expedition succeeds, and we never meet again."

As he spoke, Kong Jie clenched his palm, feeling the warmth bursting forth in his hand.

In the distance, the fleet began to launch, the engine's hum like the sound of tides coming from afar.

"Take care, Governor."

With the illusion's words, an invisible light sphere enveloped Kong Jie's body, guiding him away from the main ship, falling towards the Interstellar Bay.

"Good luck, illusion, I believe you can achieve victory."

His gaze passed through the clouds, falling faster and faster.

Until he landed, the light sphere surrounding him dissipated.

Kong Jie stood in place, his gaze passed through the thin atmosphere.

Watching the Rune Fleet they had built together breaking through the planet's gravity, the golden ships refracted the sea of tiny lights against the night sky.

The fleet was arranged in the formation he had personally designed, just like when they fought on the virtual battlefield, so neat.

The Rune Fleet then changed formation, arranging into the civilization emblem he designed.

Seeing this, Kong Jie couldn't help but smile knowingly.

As the thrusters ignited, the golden light tore through the night, and the Rune Fleet sailed into the deep space of the stars, finally becoming a streak of starlight on the sky's curtain, disappearing at the edge of the universe.

Kong Jie watched the illusion leave as the night breeze brushed his hair, but the warmth in his palm remained.

He gazed at the starry sky, suddenly feeling that this vast universe seemed not so lonely after all.

In the unknown depths of the starry sky, there was once a father who never returned, and now there was... an old friend who once fought side by side.

"Illusion, good luck, you must win!"

...

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng's gaze traversed the images in retrospect.

At this moment, in the Earthquake Continent region, the enormous Virtual Rune Legion was tearing through space to descend.
