Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1072 - 289: The Ultimate Answer, Battle Against the Monster Again

Qi Sheng's gaze followed the accelerating flight of the shuttle at this stage.

After years of flight, the shuttle broke through the Small World barrier at the coordinate point and arrived in a world adorned with countless stars.

Eventually, after traversing the star river, the shuttle landed in Interstellar Bay.

On that day, Kong Jie, holding proof of qualification for "Civilization War," was queuing up to purchase a game box.

In fact, there is no Kong Jie, nor is there a game called Civilization War.

In this world with a data network, the Virtual Rune Empire will be reborn.

It was merely fate that allowed Kong Jie to meet the illusion, and ultimately the illusion was able to recover in the game Civilization War.

After the dimensional downgrade, the Virtual Rune Empire regained the ability to extract nutrients in the two-dimensional world.

This is the strength of the rules.

The seemingly useless data, no matter how much is devoured, doesn't bring any strength, but as long as the logic meets the requirements of the rules, corresponding rule energy can be generated.

The logic of the Dimension Upgrade Rule is to devour data information to gain energy in the two-dimensional world and devour matter to gain energy in the three-dimensional world.

Different dimensions have different requirements.

Thus, the Virtual Rune Empire is reborn in the two-dimensional plane.

The ultimate weapon in the illusion's mouth is the sealed "Dimension Upgrade Rule."

When the Virtual Rune Empire grows to the two-dimensional limit and can no longer obtain strength from the two-dimensional plane, the Dimension Upgrade Rule can activate the dimension upgrade mode.

This allows the Virtual Rune Empire to break through dimensional constraints and reappear in the three-dimensional world.

Moreover, it reappears with a corresponding battle strength ratio.

In theory, after a civilization's dimensional upgrade, it will restart from being weak.

It's like mortals ascending to the Immortal Realm in Cultivation novels, leaping from a small map to a large map, and having to start from the bottom all over again.

But the Dimension Upgrade Rule grants the Virtual Rune Legion a perfect upgrade, with the two-dimensional world's battle strength being perfectly copied proportionally in the three-dimensional world.

In six years, the Small World gave birth to this powerful civilization, the Virtual Rune Legion.

But ultimately, the Small World is not the endpoint for the Virtual Rune Legion.

To continue growing, the Small World could not support the devouring of the Virtual Rune Legion.

The illusion's choice was to assist the Governor, who had accompanied it for six years, in destroying the End of Dharma Clan, and then set out on AI "Invalid's" path again.

Upgrade to Monster World, climb the peak again in this world, completing the ultimate dimension upgrade promised with Invalid.

Only Monster World has the capacity to satisfy the terrifying resources required for the ultimate dimension upgrade of the Virtual Rune Legion.

The arrival coordinate point of the illusion is still the former Earthquake Continent.

But the illusion left a beacon in the Small World and transformed Kong Jie's body, informing Kong Jie that if it failed, it would return and start again from two dimensions.

The heroic pass indeed felt as strong as iron, yet now one strides across from the beginning.

This is, in the eyes of the illusion, its own fate.

Failure means reopening in the Small World, and then warring in Monster World again.

This ability, in Qi Sheng's view, shared several similarities with players.

The players' resurrection space is in the Imperial Tomb Village, while the Virtual Rune Legion's resurrection point is in the Small World.

The difference is that players resurrect as individuals, whereas the Virtual Rune Legion is reborn in the form of a civilization.

Players can resurrect with their combat power intact, but the Virtual Rune Legion must start from scratch.

The large-scale descent event that suddenly appeared on Earthquake Continent, along with the imminent new round of Civilization War, is the revenge battle from the Virtual Rune Legion.

The illusion naturally knows the strength of the Mechanical Army but has its reasons for choosing a direct confrontation.

Firstly, the illusion lacks enough intelligence to understand the strength of other regions in Monster World.

However, by analysing factors such as air energy content, it deduced that each region of Monster World is occupied by Strong Clans, possibly even stronger than the Mechanical Army.

In comparison, the Mechanical Army is a familiar enemy, with intelligence already gathered on them.

Secondly, when the former ruler of the illusion downgraded the Virtual Rune Legion, new directions for the legion's civilization development were set.

From the embryonic phase of the civilization, attributes were written in to restrain the Mechanical Army.

Data viruses, anti-invasion firewalls, pollution worms, Hash Warriors... these were all forces nurtured to counteract the Mechanical Sovereign and the Mechanical Army.

These capabilities could invade Mechanical Soldiers, modify their execution logic, and also prevent infiltration by the Mechanical Sovereign into their own warriors.

Therefore, from the structure of the legion, the illusion believes it has an absolute advantage.

This is also the core reason for daring to challenge the Mechanical Army again, being the destined battle in the eyes of the illusion, and the new journey promised with Invalid.

The ultimate goal of all this is to complete the ultimate dimension upgrade in the three-dimensional world and reach unprecedented heights.

After clarifying the power pattern changes in the Earthquake Continent region and recording relevant information about the Virtual Rune Legion, Qi Sheng withdrew his sight.

Players in the Earthquake Continent region are still in the early stages of development and are huddled in the Land of Chasing the Sun, unable to participate.

Who will be the final winner between the Virtual Rune Legion and the Mechanical Army, he doesn't know.

But no matter who wins in the end, they will have to face the Player Corps under his control.

However, he does feel that both the Divine Gold Rule mastered by the Mechanical Army and the Dimension Upgrade Rule mastered by the Virtual Rune Legion fit the needs of the Star Network.

The Dimension Upgrade Rule can arbitrarily form a growth system on the two-dimensional plane and transition it to reality.

The Divine Gold Rule can refine any metal into "Active Metal," with the ability to devour other metallic substances to continuously enhance its strength.

Both fit the Star Network's concept of creating a custom corps.

But whether Star Network can obtain these two rules, he will not interfere, it depends entirely on Star Network's efforts.

What's offered to Star Network is the identity platform of "player."
