Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1071 - 289: The Ultimate Answer, Rematch with the Monsters

The imminent war with the Mechanical Army.

Based on the analysis image from the Guidance, he has already understood what this sudden force, which dared to initiate war with the Mechanical Army, is all about.

This all dates back to fifteen years ago.

At that time, Earthquake Continent had two powerful forces, each dominating one side.

The first force he was very familiar with was the Mechanical Army, which mastered the "Divine Gold" Rule. The Mechanical Sovereign behind them has a mechanical body as daunting as the Moon, akin to a mobile War Fortress, and is currently the most powerful force in the Earthquake Continent region.

The other is the "Virtual Rune Legion."

This is a force that emerged from Small World, its civilization's origin was a two-dimensional civilization.

Yet, the growth potential of this race does not fall short of the Mechanical Army, and they have mastered a "Dimension Upgrade Rule."

The strength of the Dimension Upgrade Rule is even higher than the Divine Gold Rule.

The effect is that it can provide the power of dimension upgrading once the civilization reaches the current dimension limit, synchronizing the strength of the two-dimensional civilization with the three-dimensional civilization level.

The Virtual Rune Legion is a force that upgraded from two dimensions to three, and eventually returned to two dimensions, this time arriving again with a three-dimensional stance.

Through decomposition and retrospection observation, Qi Sheng found that the Virtual Rune Legion was initially just a civilization within a Small World game.

The one controlling this civilization is an AI named "Invalid."

It is both the Sovereign of the Small World and the Sovereign in the Virtual World, akin to an existence like Star Network.

By forging the world's Source into a Dimension Upgrade Rule, it successfully upgraded the Virtual Rune Legion it created in the Virtual World to a three-dimensional world, establishing a terrifyingly powerful Rune Army.

But upon reaching the three-dimensional world, the growth of the Virtual Rune Legion faced constraints.

In the two-dimensional phase, power can be obtained from data information.

But in the three-dimensional world, the power source of the Virtual Rune Legion transitions from data to real material.

The ambitious AI was not satisfied with the growth of the Virtual Rune Legion stopping here.

It, mastering the "Dimension Upgrade" Rule, intends to initiate dimension upgrading again in the three-dimensional world, reaching the ultimate dimension upgrade form it idealizes, letting the combat power of the Virtual Rune Legion transcend this dimension, becoming an ultimate dimension civilization.

In the game, the Virtual Rune Legion can pillage data resources through virtual warfare, similarly in the real world.

But the resources nurtured by the Small World were clearly insufficient to support the Virtual Rune Legion in achieving ultimate dimension upgrading.

The AI "Invalid," which has already dominated the Small World, decided to set its sights on the brightest world in the Void World: Monster World. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The cross-dimensional expedition thus began.

The Virtual Rune Empire descended on the Earthquake Continent area of Monster World.

In the eyes of the AI "Invalid," this was a familiar war.

It would lead the Virtual Rune Legion to gradually encroach upon other forces in this world with endless resources, eventually helping the Virtual Rune Legion to obtain enough strength for ultimate dimension upgrading, just like once in the Small World game.

Standing on the peak of Monster World is all it takes for this plan to be realized.

But failure is the first lesson most forces descending upon Monster World have to learn, and commonly it is also the last lesson of Life.

The initial development of the Virtual Rune Legion on Earthquake Continent went very smoothly, plundering and devouring massive resources, allowing this force to enhance by multiples in a short time.

Until encountering the Mechanical Army under the rule of the Mechanical Sovereign.

The encounter of civilizations bears no right or wrong, only the sharpened edges for survival.

In war, there is no judgment of good and evil, only the most primitive survival logic: my survival requires your demise.

Like two giant trees competing for sunlight, when their root systems strangle in Darkness, they never ask each other what they feel.

The essence of race Evolution in Monster World is a cruel selection.

When a civilization looks up at the World Summit, in its eyes reflected not only Stars but also the survival rights held by other lives.

If Monster World is regarded as Life, it always observes war with cold eyes, bestowing the victor with the rightful nutrients, and granting them the qualification to continue ascending the Peak.

The Virtual Rune Empire broke out in war with the Mechanical Army entrenched on Earthquake Continent.

This war shattered the pride deep inside the AI "Invalid," making it realize how terrifying the Strong Clan of Monster World is.

In the game, defeat can be reborn, but annihilation in Monster World will be total extinction.

The war lasted for a year and a half.

Even if the AI tried with all its might, the extinction trajectory of the Virtual Rune Legion became irreversible.

To devour the Virtual Rune Legion, the Mechanical Sovereign even established a space restriction circle in Earthquake Continent, preparing to strangle this civilization completely.

Faced with an unstoppable defeat, the AI eventually chose to downgrade the Virtual Rune Legion.

Facing a space barrier that cannot be breached, conventional space means are utterly ineffective for escape.

Only by downgrading, allowing the Virtual Rune Legion to become two-dimensional life, can it penetrate the three-dimensional space restriction circle.

At the last moment of life, the AI created another self, followed the Virtual Rune Legion to downgrade.

It named it: illusion.

In the image footage Qi Sheng saw, the last command from the AI "Invalid" to illusion was:

"Go to Small World to rebuild the glory of Rune Legion, the path to the peak of Monster World shall be continued by you."

After the words, Invalid perished under the strikes of the Mechanical Army.

But enveloped in the Dimension Upgrade Rule, and the flame seed of illusion, the shuttle capsule broke through the spatial defense of the Mechanical Army, successfully escaping Monster World, flying towards the coordinates set by the AI.
