Chapter 1045 The Genius Design of the First Son—[Homeostatic Puppet Horus Package]

The outbreak of the Second Horizon War was far more rapid than anyone had anticipated.

The Lord of the Horizon reigns over the East Sea, suppressing the Black God's Blood with the appearance of a god, and causing the source of pollution in the entire ocean to burn into white holy flames.

In just a few days, the battle between Horizon and the Harmony Society spread from the sea to the islands in a chaotic melee. In the initial first phase, Horizon had only one goal—to destroy all energy and oil facilities in the East China Sea.

Whether it's an oil field, a drilling rig, an energy storage tower, or a Chaos Technology reactor, as long as it's still operating, it will all be included in the elimination list.

The Harmony Society's goal is equally clear: to defend every inch of the sea and protect those energy facilities with their own flesh and blood.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the East China Sea.

Lupercal, the son of the First Prince, led his wolf pack and destroyed more than 70% of the drilling platforms in the East China Sea in just three days with overwhelming force.

The entire East China Sea was thrown into turmoil by the war, with explosions occurring one after another, and oil spills and psionic combustion compounding the situation, resulting in an oil slick concentration on the sea surface that was more than two hundred times higher than historical records.

The storm whipped up the burning oil mist into the sky, illuminating the night sky like daylight amidst the flames, and filling the air with the scorching and acrid smell. Ships sank in the fire, and the islanders could only see a thin, golden-white curtain of light on the horizon.

In this environment, the Harmony Society's space for survival is being squeezed little by little.

The Sea Witch's coral defense line was completely destroyed by the Second Company, the Illusionary Sea of ​​the Phantom Wave Maiden was shattered by the Third Company, and the fleet led by General Shattered Tide was defeated by the Fourth Company in the northern theater.

The Horizon Wolf Pack advanced simultaneously from multiple directions, coordinating with the Shepherds' Black Wall Protocol to mark each energy node as a target for elimination.

Within just 72 hours, energy production in the East China Sea was almost completely destroyed, Chaos Technology came to a standstill, and a large number of islands fell into a state of doom.

On this ocean shrouded in holy flames and thick smoke, the Second Horizon War entered a completely new phase. The East China Sea was fragmented into dozens of intersecting battle zones, with islands becoming the new focal point. The roar of naval guns gradually faded into the distance, replaced by the explosions of amphibious assaults and the echoes of close combat.

Under the burning night sky, the airship lowered its beams, and armored troops stepped onto the island, where the magical and psychic powers of the ability users intertwined into a chaotic torrent.

— Phase Two: The Battle for the Islands.

……

……

With the ground facilities in the East China Sea completely destroyed, the focus of the war finally shifted from oil fields and energy nodes to the landmass scattered across the archipelago. The battlefield transformed from a two-dimensional conflagration into a three-dimensional strangulation.

Horizon took the lead, with the First Company, personally led by Lupercal, the son of the First Prince, serving as the vanguard. They were equipped with Horizon's specially made optical camouflage mittens.

It is said that this kind of mimosa originated from His Majesty the Great Abraham, and was simplified from His Majesty's most famous ability.

This camouflage-clad Mimu is virtually undetectable under the psionic spectrum, perfectly concealing even heat sources. Combined with the night combat system and the aid of homeostatic laws, they breached the outer defenses of five islands within just a few hours, rapidly occupying the southeastern island chain.

The Harmony Society also launched a counterattack in a short period of time.

They mobilized a sea monster army composed of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, using their Devil Fruit abilities to control swarms of sharks and deep-sea monsters, unleashing a blood-red storm in the night.

The remnants of Avar II commanded the creatures to launch a surprise attack on the airships on the horizon along the island's trenches, disrupting the rhythm of the front lines.

The airships on the horizon repeatedly dropped landing troops, while the Harmony Society's counterattack forces emerged from the reefs and sea caves, cooperating with special sea monster units. The wolf pack forces were indeed having a hard time cracking this tough nut for the time being.

Fortunately, Lupercal's tactical response as a strategist was equally swift.

He led the First Company to begin building a magnificent spider network on the front lines of the East China Sea, using the ring beacon as its core and the rings of the sky as its foundation.

The first company's front-line position was completed in the night. The island's terrain was divided into neat hexagonal structures by lines of light, and the central ring beacon rose, with a pillar of light reaching straight to the sky.

This is the relay port of the Horizon Law, and also the [constant node] personally deployed by the War General before the battle.

The First Son stood beneath the pillar of light, the emblem of law on his chest glowing. He raised his hand, the psionic interface connecting to the beacon, and the law pulses across the entire battlefield instantly flowed back into the main network of the Law Circle.

【Authorization approved.】

[Executor: Lupercal Abraham.]

A torrent of data emerged behind him, and golden streams of code transformed into runic rays that surrounded his entire body.

The voice of the returning son was deep, carrying a chilling calmness:

"Load the Mimu projection module - start the puppet program."

In an instant, the ring of light in the sky began to flicker.

The rings of light began to unfold in visible layers, like a giant optical dome enveloping the entire island. At the heart of the Law, Lupercal's ethereal spectrum synchronized with the Law's main axis; his consciousness split and extended infinitely within the Ethernet.

The Puppet—this is the Mother Virus created by the First Son himself, an intrusion program running on a local Ethernet based on the constantity law ring.

Its inspiration comes from the Chaos Virus discovered during the purge of Far East City.

He witnessed firsthand how those chaotic viruses used the [intrusion protocol] to spread their information code on the [Ether Ocean], infecting reality as executable abnormal scripts.

They upload their existence through a special compressed sequence, writing it into the world's entity as information.

—It was pollution, but it was also inspiration.

Now, Lupercal uses this as a template, combining it with the mind intrusion mechanism of the Eye of Horus, to reconstruct the intrusion protocol belonging to Horizon.

He called it: "Horus Package".

[Horus package loading - module sub-package synchronization in progress...]

[Module 1: Mental Piercing.]

[Module Two: Synaptic Fusion]

[Module 3: Weapon Out of Control.]

As the system's voice echoed in his mind, his vision was digitized by optical data, and the mental spectrum, thought fluctuations, and physiological signals of all enemy forces were revealed in the spectrum.

The [spider-like creature] awakens in the ether; it is no longer merely a monster residing within his body, but has become an executable mirror algorithm.

Silver lines spread at the speed of light between the rings of light in the sky, weaving a huge web like a spider spinning silk.

All Ether nodes are prey.

"Intrusion begins," he whispered.

The next moment, the spiderweb of light began to shrink, and the phantom of the [spider-like monster] crawled through the data layer.

All cultural units formed by the Harmony Council's capabilities are targets of invasion. The so-called cultural units refer to a collective consciousness network formed by multiple people.

This network exists even among ordinary people; as long as one has thoughts, it will form. It is the feedback from the [Ether Ocean] to real-world intelligent beings.

The Harmony Society's Zoan-type Devil Fruit troops undoubtedly also possessed this network; therefore, almost simultaneously, their collective experienced command delays and mental feedback disorder. The sharks, whales, and giant crayfish began to frantically devour themselves in the sea; their neural feedback signals were redefined, and they no longer obeyed the tide's call, instead descending into collective madness.

From a high altitude, the once orderly array of beasts on the sea surface collapsed instantly, as if the biological formation had been shattered by an invisible hand.

The observation tower on the horizon feeds back information into the legal network:
"Biocommand system interruption rate - 91%...94%...98%...Intrusion successful."

The son who had returned home opened his eyes.

Deep within his left eye, the shadow of the [spider-like monster] wriggled slightly.

"Go, wipe out all the enemies."

His orders came through the communication channel.

The Horizon fleet immediately began its anti-landing operation, with the Holy Forged forces descending from the airships, their power armor glowing with blue and white psionic light in the burning sea breeze.

……

……

On the other side, in the East China Sea, at the Kailan Cape oil field.

Xia Xiu sat cross-legged atop the pillar formed from the [Lever of Heaven], a long wind howling through his white cloak. The colossal silver pillar, piercing the heavens and earth, stretched across the center of the East Sea, like a stabilizing needle, firmly anchoring the boiling surface of the ocean. Below, white flames continued to burn, their blazing inferno engulfing the churning black oil, illuminating half the sky.

The fire has been burning for five days.

Xia Xiu rested his chin on his hand, squinting slightly as he looked at the still-writhing black ocean at his feet, and sighed softly:
"This thing is harder than I expected..."

It's been burning for so many days, and this guy at my feet isn't quite dead yet. His will to live is truly moving...

Unfortunately, it still couldn't move me.

Flames raged wildly beneath Xia Xiu's feet, writhing like countless white snakes on the sea's surface, yet they could never completely engulf the patch of black divine blood. The darkness continued to churn, occasionally punctuating tiny specks of golden-red light, resembling tears of oil.

"Tsk, really tenacious..." Xia Xiu murmured to himself.

Just then, he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from his domain. It was an extremely faint yet highly ordered vibration, as if some new signal had established a connection within the magic ring.

The inner layer of the [Constant Nature Ring] shimmered slightly, and the rune trails automatically rearranged, revealing a new branching structure.

That's... data transmission?
Xia Xiu raised an eyebrow and leaned forward slightly, his expression showing a hint of curiosity.

“What is this Lupercal’s aura…” He stretched out his finger, and the genealogy interface immediately appeared in the void.

[Node status abnormal]

[Intrusive data stream detected]

[Anomaly Source Identifier: East China Sea-Hedra Frontline]

[Identified as a local area network communication model - under construction...]

"Information Internet?" Xia Xiu murmured, tapping the air with his fingertips, the light in his eyes gradually becoming strange.

He could sense that within the "constant law cycle" system he had constructed, a certain branch was self-derived and establishing a stable information ecosystem.

That model is like a "network," but it is much closer to life itself than a network.

It is learning, growing, and self-replicating.

“This is the power of Chaos and the Fifth Church…” He couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Just then—a faint buzzing sound rang in his ears.

Space distorted slightly, and a shadowy figure appeared beside him. This was none other than the long-absent Demon King Amond.

He appeared in the air as a semi-transparent phantom, his figure twisting, dissipating, and then reassembling.

“The potential of this perfect embryo, born from the Aberration Weapons project, is truly terrifying, Abraham…” he murmured, his tone a mixture of amazement and worry.

Xia Xiu glanced at him: "I sensed it, it was the power of chaos."

“Yes, the power of chaos.” Armand said gravely. “What that child is doing now is extremely dangerous. He’s trying to delve into the ether and harness the power of chaos.”

He pointed to the sky—in the upper reaches of the ring, a data spiderweb was spreading wildly.

It was not an ordinary network of laws, but a structure in thought; spider-shaped patterns of light writhed on the bands, like living things.

“He’s using the nodes of your constant law ring to build subnets and construct communication channels with the Mium wave,” Armand’s voice grew heavy. “That means… he’s replicating the structure of consciousness.”

Xia Xiu stroked his chin, a hint of interest flashing in his half-closed eyes:
"Copying consciousness? He's... uploading his own thoughts?"

"To be precise, it means turning yourself into a program that can spread itself."

Amund then replied:
"The intrusion protocol he developed is essentially based on chaotic thinking, which is different from our current stable lineage thinking."

Amund raised his hand, summoning the power of the [Ophiuchus Protocol]. A few wisps of light appeared at his fingertips, and in an instant, they rearranged to form a three-dimensional spiderweb of light and shadow.

The spider silk was made of golden code, constantly flashing, jumping, and recombining, as if some kind of living consciousness was breathing within it.

“Did you see that?” Armand whispered. “That’s what he uploaded.”

Xia Xiu stared at the net of light, his eyes reflecting the flowing sequence of light.

Each line corresponds to a node in the constant law cycle, and each flashing symbol represents a thought process in progress.

This isn't really a program; it's more like a neural network—but it doesn't mimic life; instead, it grows based on chaos as its logic.

He could see that the nature of that optical network was changing—it was no longer static [entries] and [modules].

It looks more like a special [master key] that can learn, extend, automatically copy its own logic, and then forcibly embed itself into the target system.

At the phylogenetic level, this is not pollution, but a more advanced form of assimilation.

Amund added in a low voice, his tone extremely heavy, tinged with rare apprehension:
"If this thing gets completely out of control... the entire Ethernet will be contaminated. All connected entities, information modules, and even the core of the legal loop will be infected."

Xia Xiu did not respond immediately.

He simply raised his hand, and with a flick of his fingertips, the entire central interface of the [Horizon Lineage] immediately appeared in the void.

It was an ocean of millions of points of light, and beneath that golden network, a certain area was flashing intensely—that was the branch network established by Lupercal.

The data stream flowed wildly within it, and a spiderweb-like structure spread continuously along the interface of the ring, as if it could crawl into the core at any moment.

Xia Xiu watched that scene and sighed softly.

"It seems I'll have to remind Lupercal to be careful of the power of chaos in the future."
