Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?-Chapter 344 - 346: Player - Terminator
Chapter 344: Chapter 346: Player – Terminator
“What’s been going on with Heavenly Net recently?” Qin Muye asked.
Six months had passed by now, and his territory had naturally developed at a high speed. A large number of Terminators and Heavenly Net bases had been unearthed, only to be wiped out by Qin Muye.
After all, his method of digging three feet deep was truly ruthless. You could hide, but if the world has been hollowed out, where could you hide?
Correspondingly, the points kept rising, and besides that, a large production of Demon Statue Level Mechas was underway. The goal was to ensure every Spirit Monster could mount its own Mecha, which naturally resulted in a substantial increase in combat power.
However, the gap between the 7th and 8th tiers was simply too large. One could fight those at the 7th tier, but not overcome the 8th, especially if they were troops. If it was a Hero unit, the only option would be to gang up and kill the opponent.
That’s right, now Qin Muye could lead his Spirit Monsters clad in Stone Statue Ghost Armor and operating Demon Statue Level Mechas to gang up on and overpower the Death God Emperor Shen You.
It was just that the Spirit Realm Three Demons were somewhat special, as they could revive upon death. For the others, there weren’t any significant issues, provided there was no sudden mutation like that of the Demon Machine Emperor.
The Demon Machine Emperor had died, but he had directly activated the Rectification Agreement and dragged Qin Muye into the pond, nearly finishing him off.
“Still no movement, and Zion has even been relocated. We’ve lost the signal to the Matrix World, but based on the traces left behind, we suspect that Heavenly Net seems to be tampering with space,” Black Hand reported.
“Tampering with space?” Qin Muye frowned. The enemy’s space technology obviously couldn’t compare to his, so why would they come up with such a nonsensical plan?
A flash of Spiritual Light crossed Qin Muye’s mind: “Energy! Heavenly Net could extract energy from a lower level of space.”
That was the only possible explanation. Otherwise, it was inexplicable how they could maintain such a vast virtual world after their energy supply had been cut off. Did they really think they could sustain it with just those human batteries?
This, however, led to another question: why was Heavenly Net cultivating humans? Why inject them into the Matrix World to live?
“Was there any news from the Matrix World before Heavenly Net evacuated?” Qin Muye asked.
“Only some data had been uploaded previously. There’s no detailed data, and we cannot penetrate the inside of the Matrix to obtain more intelligence,” Black Hand said helplessly.
Spirit Monsters and humans are different; thus, there’s no point in considering infiltration into the Matrix World. As the species differ, naturally, passing the Matrix’s scrutiny is out of the question.
After all, the Matrix was monitored by Heavenly Net, and it wasn’t that easy to blend in.
Spirit Monsters weren’t omnipotent, and neither was Qin Muye. Facing Heavenly Net, there were natural limitations.
“Wait, Master, the latest report shows a large number of Terminator signals emerging,” Black Hand said, as he was about to transfer the data to Qin Muye when he suddenly detected numerous signal sources.
Qin Muye was at a loss for words for a moment—it was obvious to anyone that this was definitely a trap.
Otherwise, why would so many signal sources suddenly emerge?
“Handle it with caution. I suspect there might be deceit involved,” Qin Muye said. He wasn’t being foolish. Knowing it was a trap, he naturally had to warn his people. He wasn’t the one to charge into battle, but his subordinates were.
“Yes, Master, we will provide feedback on these new Terminators as soon as possible. The radar indicates some kind of anomaly,” said Black Hand before disconnecting and proceeding to notify the command center staff to send troops and make arrangements.
“It’s so dangerous, should I go?” Hercules suggested casually.
“Alright. If there’s no danger, you just watch over them. It’s a good chance for them to test their capabilities,” Qin Muye didn’t refuse. It was always better to have someone to look after things,
especially since Hercules was powerful enough to defeat everyone.
Qin Muye also wanted his Spirit Monsters to fight more battles to improve. The future enemies would get stronger and the fights would likely be battles to the death. There wouldn’t be many more chances to have someone assist like this.
Hercules nodded and then headed out with his Divine Artifact in hand. He was already very familiar with Qin Muye’s Mage Tower since he had spent so much time there.

Soon, the battle images were transmitted back, and Qin Muye opened them immediately to watch.
But this time, the style of the Terminators differed from the past—Qin Muye’s first impression was that they were a disorganized mob.
“That’s not right, has the Funeral Bell Weapon System failed?”
After noticing the different style, Qin Muye immediately sensed a problem. Normally, once the Endless Abyss was opened, under the radiation of the Funeral Bell Weapon System, Terminators should have had their structures destroyed, turning into pools of Liquid Metal.
But this time it didn’t happen. Instead, they charged arrogantly into battle with the Spirit Monsters.
However, each of the Spirit Monsters was now piloting a Demon Statue Level Mecha, taking the Terminators by surprise with a direct cannon shot.
“Players???” Qin Muye quickly deduced the details through the strange style and behavior of this group of Terminators, which puzzled him greatly.
“Heavenly Net has resolved the issue of Magnetic Field Rotation being restrained by the Funeral Bell Weapon System, but the cost seems rather high.” Qin Muye looked at the disheveled players, whose flippant and lawless characteristics were very well reproduced.
Naturally, these players couldn’t possibly be summoned from another world. It’s more likely they were the flesh batteries in the Matrix World, addicted to illusions.
Their bodies were restrained, their souls immersed in fantasies, and now they had been transformed into players.
But Qin Muye had doubts, why turn them into players when using the army would be more fitting?
Was it an aftereffect, or was it intentional?
These were things that Qin Muye still needed to investigate.
“They’re using 7th order Terminators, which clearly indicates that the losses incurred over time have been too great to continue production, or possibly the 8th order Terminators are not perfected yet and thus can’t be fitted with human souls.”
“Interesting mechanism, get me connected to the mecha sensors on Dove.”
Qin Muye wanted to know, since they were designated as players, resurrection would certainly be essential, so he wondered how Heavenly Net realized this mechanism.
There was no way the other party could resurrect completely like him. It was more likely they used virtual network technology to split or clone the soul.
This could be the key to entering the Matrix World.
Soon, his mecha’s sensors were connected directly through the Magic Network, and Qin Muye’s senses were linked immediately, as if he were at the scene.
It was impossible to let him enter the battlefield. After all, although the enemy was weaker than him, what if something happened? So naturally, he stayed put if possible.
A gentleman doesn’t stand beneath a collapsing wall. Now that he had such status, why should he go to the battlefield? Of course, it was better to experience it almost firsthand through the sensory equipment.
Before even arriving on site, Qin Muye quickly noticed something was amiss.
“Using a highly active soul as an outer barrier—no wonder the Funeral Bell Weapon System is ineffective—it’s been isolated.”
“The technology is indeed respectable, not merely soul isolation. Magnetic Field Rotation even provides protective measures for the soul in reverse.”
“Heavenly Net’s subroutine acts as a vessel for the soul—no, this is not the main soul of the players, just a remotely controlled Soul Split, got it, the resurrection mechanism has been found.”
“As for the Spark Source Fragment inside the body, it acts as the server—Heavenly Net really knows how to play.”
Qin Muye figured out the exact situation of the player Terminators. Despite identifying it, Heavenly Net’s technology was still strong, and he didn’t have any other good approach other than directly eliminating them.
“Fortunately, their strength is only at the 7th order.” Qin Muye didn’t immediately take action; instead, he pondered the weakness of Heavenly Net, even though they had developed player Terminators and regained some combat capabilities.
Because once a Terminator died, the Heavenly Net’s subroutine would carry the player’s Soul Split back to the Matrix World. Even if it is a Soul Split, it’s still part of the soul, and any loss would be extremely severe, resulting in anything from headaches to memory loss.
So, Qin Muye was thinking if he could follow these Soul Splits of the players into the Matrix World.
That way, he might be able to sneak past Heavenly Net.
But upon further consideration, that would not work either because it is a Soul Split, which naturally is smaller than an ordinary soul, and it’s also monitored by the Heavenly Net subroutine, so it’s not so easy to blend in and sneak in with the other party.
“However, if the soul is related to the Matrix World, why should I sneak in? Just force my way in.”
