Chapter 955: The Transformation of the Upper City at the Location of Iger
Game World.
“An urgent news alert from our city: This morning, the Upper City at the location of Iger was subjected to a premeditated terrorist attack by outsiders. A total of 21 outsiders launched a well-planned surprise assault in the city center area, causing significant casualties and property damage. The attackers acted swiftly and were well-organized, suspected of long-term planning…”
“In the midst of the city’s chaos, the Catastrophe Witch, accompanied by members of the Real Protection Association, quickly suppressed all attackers and halted further destruction by the outsiders…”
“Currently, the Association is conducting in-depth investigations. High-ranking officials of the Association stated that this attack is highly likely related to the Betrayer of the Back Organization, driven by personal gain. Based on related clues, the Association has initially identified corrupt individuals, and further investigations are underway…”
“Citizens are urged to remain vigilant, follow Association guidance, and pay attention to personal safety…”
In an inconspicuous corner, this news was being broadcasted on the news channel of the Upper City at the location of Iger.
For players chasing the fun of the game, the climactic game experience and continuously stimulating new developments would not distract them from such boring news.
However, those with status and identity within the city could not ignore this news.
After watching, they understood… the fate of the Upper City at the location of Iger has completely changed.
Subsequently, news after news broke out.
The order maintainers of the city were restructured with the介入 of the Association to form an organization responsible for safeguarding security using extraordinary powers.
The name may not have changed, but the functions did.
Moreover, they couldn’t comprehend what it meant to… possess extraordinary power.
Perhaps their first thought was related to the invasion techniques associated with banned accounts.
However, such occurrences were absolutely not allowed to happen by the All Worlds Terminal Headquarters.
Beyond that, the reorganization within the Real Protection Association was also underway.
Changes in various department roles, purging of traitors, reconstruction of armed divisions, adjustment of permissions for extraordinary powers, and… the change of the Association president.
All these changes were happening so quickly.
It left many people overwhelmed.
Then, the Catastrophe Witch changed her status from ally of the Real Protection Association to that of the Association Guardian.
After all, the original Catastrophe Witch was a collaborator summoned by the organization; this identity was reasonable, but that was before, at most considered a collaborative author or ally.
Now, having become the Association Guardian means the Catastrophe Witch relinquished her independent identity to seek cooperation, joining the Association and becoming a force to protect it.
This represents a deepening of the collaboration between the Association and the Catastrophe Witch, significantly enhancing her influence in the land of Iger.
According to official revelations from the Real Protection Association, the Witch, as the Guardian of the organization, protects the Association from external threats; her strength and wisdom make her the last line of defense for the Association.
From the announcements that were revealed, useful information was scant, indicating that the less information provided, the more important the matter!
No one dared to ignore the Catastrophe Witch’s influence over the land of Iger; no one could.
In addition to these changes, the Association announced that it would begin construction on the outskirts of the city to enrich the issues of the real world.
As currently announced, support would focus on transportation, clothing, and material aspects.
Transportation would allow the roads in the Upper City at the location of Iger to no longer be traversed only by carriages.
The clothing would ensure that people in reality would no longer dress uniformly.
Food would enable those who had only eaten energy protein bars and nutritional liquids to savor true delicacies.
These initiatives were based on the plant technology industrial base from the storage card obtained by Dawn during that result—signifying that this was a long-term undertaking.
The significance for real protection is even greater!
For instance, the production of transportation broke the barriers of regional communication within the game world. Following this, options for ambush, support, and evacuation would expand.
In this game world, the higher-ups aimed for everyone to stay safely at home and play games.
For this reason, civilian transportation was scarce and expensive.
However, with the groundwork laid by plant technology, they could now intuitively witness just how cheaply these previously exorbitant items cost!
Having experienced such a significant upheaval, the subsequent matters piled up.
From soothing organization members within the Association to establishing security protocols and confidentiality measures, including some transitional tasks requiring rapid adjustments.
The Upper City at the location of Iger’s branch of the Real Protection Association also sent out a signal that they would no longer welcome the intervention of outsider forces.
They even completely pushed the outsider forces into the opposition.
In the face of such a significant incident, the situation of the Association felt extremely empty; the security issues of the Upper City at the location of Iger could only be entrusted to that Catastrophe Witch, along with the number of rebellious outsiders (clones).
At this moment, the sky of the Upper City at the location of Iger plunged into a fiery chaos, with hot fire clouds billowing in the sky, casting a dreadful power over every corner of the city.
This was even more intimidating to those forces eager to act.
At this moment, the manifestation of catastrophe seemed to materialize; the Upper City at the location of Iger had transformed into a city truly under the protection of calamity.
Anyone daring to disrupt would undoubtedly be struck down by thunderous methods.
The fiery meteors streaking across the fire clouds resumed their roles, attacking players in the direction summoned by fortune.
However, according to my perception, these player characters did not seem to be targeting the previous player residential areas; instead, they appeared to align with some chaotic regions or cracked territory relocation zones.
But it mattered not where they were; my indifference to their struggling lives was unwavering.
All I knew was these people deserved to die, and I had already killed them.
My mercy had been more than sufficient; if they were to be summoned en masse via the Reverse Summoning Spell, a large portion of any chaotic area could be buried for that person.
At this moment.
When I reached a point where players dared not step forward, the flames reflecting off their faces made it so they couldn’t look directly at me, I finally stopped.
And this so-called farce had reached a halftime break.
There might still be developments afterward, but for me, it had concluded.
The complications thereafter were no longer my concern.
What I needed to do now was to accept the legacy left behind by those outsiders.
The most bountiful reward was undoubtedly their storage equipment.
As for the legacies left by the world, they were not akin to beings like elves, with actual remnants of hope.
Their legacies were more about blessings to individuals or simply the pure transmission of power.
If only my true form were here…
There could be more means to address this unknown situation. If I could usurp it, that would be even better.
Yet this did not indicate a lack of harvest.
I discovered… World Fragments on them!
Of course, they were not like my instance realm, but rather internal earth veins severed, becoming lifeless ordinary material spaces.
It seemed many forces in the Void were still quite naive in utilizing World Fragments, with a huge gap compared to instance realms refined by star alchemists.
As for other gains, they were plenty, from the extraordinary systems of various worlds in the Void, promotion systems, theories of power, data legacies, to unique resources of the worlds.
To me, these things were rather trivial.
However, thinking from another perspective, these resources were exceptionally valuable in the main world!
Especially in the Expanding Realm, where extraordinary techniques were still in their infancy, absorbing techniques from other worlds would enable them to escape the limitations of the main world framework.
And… I felt that the remaining valuable resources and other items should be handed to Millien; she could maximize the utility of these things in the Expanding Realm!
I’ll wait for an opportunity to reverse-summon these items back to the main world; that should be sufficient.
Perhaps the distance between the two was too great, and the nature of reverse summoning might complicate the transfer to the main world using clones as the core.
Or this might relate to the dissemination characteristics of “Extraordinary Knowledge”, as Sheryl said.
But as long as it can be done, any so-called difficulties can ultimately be overcome.
Now, within this game world, the unified will of the Resistance Force had already begun.
Under the orders of the Wanlian Main Network Tree and its root system, as well as the Power Network, the Upper City at the location of Iger would develop rapidly.
Industries in reality would gradually expand, and dependence on the game would see a decline.
In daily life, except for housing, other aspects would fundamentally change.
This is the foundation for the game world to adapt to this new world, and the All Worlds Terminal would ultimately be dismantled by me.
A transformation of social order would ignite everything like a wildfire, and a society continued under “Extraordinary Knowledge” would ultimately collapse due to the lack of power.
Players exiting the game would return to reality, gathering their own strength to reclaim their lives!
This would be the scene I envisioned, as well as the outline of the script I set.
There’s no need to worry about potential failure; this is merely the minimum requirement I ask of them. I do not expect them to achieve better or even perfection.
Because this would be their own glory.
Should they, for various reasons, continue to wallow in this rotten world, only willing to lie in a decaying society waiting for their deaths…
I wouldn’t mind giving them a grand funeral with flames.
Let the fallen soul material return to the cycle of earth veins.
Baptizing this world in a calamity-like manner, then allowing the remaining individuals to shine with brilliance, rebooting this damaged world.
Perhaps this is the two choices I present to this world.
The transformative line and the apocalyptic reboot line.
It can be said that the game world would be quite busy in the coming period.
…
Witch Academy.
Millien quickly fulfilled my exhortation.
We now had 20 people ready to go to the Expanding Realm!
Millien had effectively optimized the number, with most individuals being her chosen “trusted ones.” Many of them looked familiar to me, as they were members of the Bakery Association.
One was a team member following Yi Xin, Pei Huan, who left quite an impression on me.
Through the Earth Vein Identification Technique, I could also discern the identities of these individuals.
Ultimately, I stopped in front of a figure that I was very familiar with.
“Ming Xueming… What are you doing here?” I looked at Ming Xueming and then at the several students following her, none of whom were personnel associated with me, the Bakery Association, or Millien.
“Little Dia Assistant, you’re speaking this way as if we’re strangers~”
At this moment, Ming Xueming’s tone was completely different from before.
Even her attitude had shifted from humble to… how should I put it? Disrespectful?
In any case, Ming Xueming gave me a very strong sense of dissonance, but from a heartfelt perspective… her thoughts seemed pure.
“Little Dia, they are considered reserve candidates; for some reasons, we brought them along.” At this moment, Millien stepped up first to explain to me.
The reasoning put forth by Millien was undoubtedly aligned with my approval for cooperation and opportunity.
“Since the number is indeed a bit challenging to control, if Little Dia doesn’t wish for too many people, you can simply dismiss them.”
“That sounds too ruthless~ Millien~” Ming Xueming clearly appeared anxious at this side; if they were really dismissed, there would be no game left for her!
“I don’t advise you to present this attitude to Little Dia.” Millien showed no mercy to Ming Xueming at this moment, even if she was once the president of a top club like the All-purpose Workshop.
“Twenty people… Well, that is indeed a bit much.” I reached out, gently supporting my chin with my thumb and index finger, feigning thoughtfulness.
“Wait! I’m willing to represent myself in…” At this moment, Ming Xueming eagerly began to leverage her bargaining chips.
“Talking to me is pointless; if you have anything to say, discuss it with Millien. After all, I’m going to the Expanding Realm with Sister Bai to relax, bringing 20 people would be too ostentatious— the Academy Head would scold me for it.” I interrupted Ming Xueming.
Upon seeing a turning point, Ming Xueming’s eyes instantly lit up!
Here before her was the opportunity to enter the Expanding Realm early; that was a boat worth risking everything to board!
This early advantage, even if it couldn’t generate too much interest, held significant meaning.
Once Ming Xueming and Millien moved aside to discuss the terms, I approached Pei Huan.
Pei Huan was part of the Yi Xin team! Their willingness to accompany Millien into the Expanding Realm spoke volumes.
“It’s been a while~ Pei Huan, is everything all right there now?”
“Haha~ Sister Xiao Han, you’re indeed getting more and more capable! Everything is going smoothly on our team’s end, but regrettably… Sister Xiao Han, we haven’t had a chance to meet during this time.”
“Just some matters delayed that.”
“We understand~ Also, we’ve inquired about it! Unfortunately, we still don’t know what you’ve been up to. Surely you must be engaged in something significant.” Pei Huan looked at me with admiration, completely transcending any previous age-related issues.
In her eyes, this was undoubtedly the definition of a genius.
