Chapter 528 Reboot (4K)

"Hiss—ho—"

Reyes gasped sharply, propped himself up with his hands, and sat up, his eyes trembling as he looked around.

The place where he lay was still that mountainous area torn apart by the high-temperature plasma flow.

The molten lava had long since solidified and turned black, and judging from the degree of hardening, several dozen hours had passed since he fell into a coma.

Mianyue, the Fungus King, Claudia, and others also slowly woke up. The first thing everyone did after waking up was to check their lungs. Wanli Fengdao looked up and asked hoarsely, "Where's the ant?"

"I'm here."

Voices rose from behind the hillside. Li Sheng held a four-dimensional box in his hand, and next to him was the astronaut who had regained his mobility and was walking on his own two legs.

Among the human players, Reyes fell into a coma early on, as if he had fallen asleep during math class, completely unaware of what happened afterward.

Claudia and Wanli Fengdao, however, felt their eyelids twitch, vaguely guessing what was going on—the mission required them to install the annihilation device in a designated location.
Without a trip to the dreamland, the unconscious astronaut would most likely be unable to "install" the device.

Only by experiencing and conquering the Dreamland, and awakening astronaut Will's individual consciousness, can the next step be taken.

"Everyone says Sister Yu is awesome."

Huiyu, head held high and chest puffed out, stepped forward and said sincerely, "In the end, it still comes down to me. You've done your best. (Hands on hips for a moment)"

Uh... While Grey Rain was eating seafood with coconut on the beach, he kept listening to radio signals.

Although she didn't receive the radio waves, she heard faint clanging sounds. Finally, following the sound of chisels, she drilled through the remaining few centimeters of the metal dome, breaking through the barrier between the two worlds.

"I'll just praise you, okay?"

Li Sheng sighed, turned his head slightly, and said to Wanli Fengdao and the others, "Prepare for battle."

A battle? With whom?
The surrounding colorful mist quickly dissipated, and the body of the Alpha Python emerged from the depths of the fog. It shook its head, shaking off the influence of the illusion, and its mountain-like serpent head looked down at the numerous players.

Starting at zero frames, Alpha opened its mouth wide, and the high-temperature plasma it was building up was as dazzling and scorching as a solar panel.

tread.

At the critical moment, the astronaut took a step forward, raised his palm, and pointed it at the Alpha Python.

The nuclear fusion engine's power plummeted, the plasma collapsed and disintegrated, escaping from the gaps in the snake's mouth. Sparks flew everywhere from the python's body, and numerous structures broke off and fell away.

This was not a powerful distortion; the players present did not sense the Force or telekinesis, but rather some kind of more ethereal command.

Astronaut Will and Alpha are two sides of the same coin, both being remnants of the essence of the Lv40 superhuman [Survivor Prime] from tens of thousands of years ago.

When Will regains his memories and consciousness through the Land of Dreams, he naturally becomes an existence on par with Alpha, and can directly dismantle the latter through the mysterious connection between the two.

slam-la-

The metal structure collapsed like a landslide, leaving only 70% of the snake's head intact, with one eyeball detached from its socket. The massive body, originally measured in kilometers, disintegrated further, unable to support its own weight, and collapsed with a deafening roar.

Dust filled the air, and the white horse tombstone's pupils suddenly contracted. It kicked out horizontally, striking the bewildered griffin squarely and sending it flying hundreds of meters away. At the same time, the white horse itself was also sent flying backward by the recoil.

Almost the instant the two left their original positions, a dazzling white light burst forth from the depths of the smoke and dust, splitting the earthen slope in two and plowing open the sinkhole.

Most of Alpha's body had disintegrated, leaving only its snake head and the metal skeleton of its neck. The nuclear fusion engine within the skeleton flickered on and off, but ultimately did not go out.

"."

Astronaut Will, completely exhausted, fell backward. Li Sheng grabbed him and tossed him onto the co-pilot's seat of the edge of the fighter jet. He then jumped into the jet with Gray Rain, glancing at his Casio watch.

The mission "Armed Escort" for Wanli Fengdao requires carrying a protective four-dimensional box for 48 hours. And right now, there are only 5 minutes left.

"Stop it,"

Li Sheng acted with lightning speed, quickly setting the flight path on the fighter jet's control panel, and shouted without turning his head, "Give me five minutes!"

"Five minutes is too short. How about I stop Alpha for the time it takes to sing 'King of Love Songs'?!"

Wanli Fengdao loudly complained, but his hands moved quickly, unleashing a "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique with the Zhanlong Sword.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Alpha Python disintegrated into just a head; it's still too authoritative for players. The residual heat from the nuclear fusion engine alone incinerated and annihilated the tattooed army summoned by Reyes, as well as the arrows shot by Mianyue.

"give it to me."

The sound from the white horse tombstone was like that of a still, ancient well. This was no longer a place of dreams; death meant certain death. She abruptly shoved the stone coffin into the ground, slapped the coffin lid away, and stared at her own corpse, now at Lv35 in the future, inside the coffin.

She and her own decaying corpse simultaneously extended their palms, their ten fingers interlocked, merging into one. Her aura and power surged dramatically!
With one foot stomping on the ground, creating a twenty-meter crater, he leaped high into the air, his right arm, rotting to the point of exposing bone, delivering a hook punch straight to Alpha's jaw, forcibly interrupting the beam of energy that was hurtling towards the edge of the fighter jet.

Claudia unleashed a river of blood, and Reyes summoned the God of War avatar once more. The group of extraordinary beings used all their abilities to pin Alpha firmly to the spot.

The edge fighter jet, carrying Li Sheng and astronaut Will, sped towards the crystal forest they had come from.

Relying on its nano-sized body, Gray Rain clung to the wing, feeling the howling wind. Then, it liquefied its body, squeezed through a window crack into the cockpit, and curiously asked, "Where are we going?"

"The reset is complete, it's time to restart."

Li Sheng glanced at astronaut Will sitting in the back row, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.

Will, or rather Sentinel Prime, is at least a top-tier superhuman from tens of thousands of years ago, a veteran among veterans.
He's qualified to drag Michael, the Side of Truth, Coldwater Stone, and others together, point his finger at them, and ask, "How many years have you been players?"

We can definitely get top-secret clues directly related to the killing field from him.

As if guessing Li Sheng's thoughts, Will shakily pulled a cable from under his seat.

Li Sheng instantly understood, pulled a hard drive from the onboard computer, connected it to the assembled doll via cable, and linked it to Will's space helmet.

"The killing field entity, literally boundless, connects to the vast world that can select the chosen ones, namely the main universe."

Will said weakly, "Each chosen one in the main universe will have a level cap set by the killing field, such as Lv20, Lv30, Lv40."

If the most elite Chosen Ones fail to transcend the other shore in time and lead their kin to break through the level ceiling, the entire world will be dragged into a killing field. The Chosen Ones themselves will also fall into divine abominations.

What? !

The dashboard showed that they were less than two kilometers away from the Amethyst Forest. Li Sheng controlled the fighter jet, flying into the path leading to the Amethyst Forest that he had previously cleared with his light-speed elbow strike.

My mind was filled with shock, my pupils trembled, "The Divine Abomination is actually a player?"

He had considered a million possibilities, but he never expected this answer. Before he could ask any further questions, a beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the rock and slicing off one of the fighter jet's wings.

Alpha finally shook off White Horse Tombstone and the others, and caught up with them while floating at high speed.

The fighter jet, having lost its wings, glided and crashed towards the crystal ground. Li Sheng decisively retrieved the jet and tossed the astronaut to the gray rain floating in the air via the levitation engine. "Take him to the location designated by the navigation radar." With that, he abruptly opened the automated warehouse and flung it forward.

One after another, heavy armored vehicles, studded with rivets and with a rugged style, crashed to the ground, their six legs supporting them as they stood up. Driven by the fire control system, their thick, long gun barrels spun in unison, pointing towards the rock formation.

The instant the Alpha Python crashed through the crystal rock layer, all the vehicles codenamed "Imperial Guard" opened fire simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of vector kinetic energy projectiles and electromagnetic projectiles upon the snake's head.

boom!
The crystal forest has remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years. At this moment, a large number of hanging crystal pillars broke and fell due to the resonance of the cannon fire.

As the flames subsided, the slightly damaged snake head opened its single eye and suddenly spewed out a beam of high-temperature light, instantly annihilating an entire chariot.

Flames soared into the sky, and the remaining Imperial Guard chariots moved forward, retreating in an orderly manner. The fire control system turned the cannons, and a second and third salvo was fired.

The Alpha Python, which even the White Horse Tombstone and others couldn't stop despite their best efforts, naturally couldn't be stopped by the Imperial Guard chariots now.

He casually unleashed a beam of light, which sliced ​​through a large cluster of crystals high above like a hot knife through butter, causing tens of thousands of tons of crystals to crash down and destroy the remaining tanks.

But those extra ten seconds or so are enough.

At the rear of the tank formation, the doors of the automated warehouse were wide open, and a gantry crane stood prominently in one corner, with a large semi-mechanized tractor suspended below it.

Chip arrays fill the damaged brain, multi-band detectors are implanted into the hollow eye sockets, photoelectric cable bundles repair damaged nerves, and rotary cannons replace broken chelicerae.

The gantry crane was severely damaged in the battle of London and has yet to be repaired. Underneath the crane, there is an acrylic swimming pool that continuously collects the blood and oil that drips from the gantry crane and pumps them back into the crane through pressurized pipes.

The industrial maintenance robotic arms around the gantry crane are currently screwing large bolts into the openings in the machine group to stop the bleeding, and then applying 5-cent bandages to the top of the bolts as a comforting gesture.

Li Sheng, on the other hand, stood at the warehouse exit.

"Start-up complete."

The electronic eyes of the swarm of machines flashed red, all the cables on their bodies snapped automatically, and the chimney-like nozzles on their backs spewed out murky black smoke and blazing flames, propelling them like arrows out of a bow, flying out of the warehouse.

At the same time, the chest armor plate suddenly popped open, revealing the cockpit.

Standing at the warehouse entrance, Li Sheng leaped up and landed precisely in the cockpit, connecting the dense cables hanging down like blood vessels to the back of his neck and arms.

Alpha's attention was mostly focused on astronaut Will, and it only glanced at Li Sheng out of the corner of its eye before casually unleashing a blazing beam of light.

The mechanical swarm flashed, using the Familiar Swap skill to change its flight trajectory, dodge the beam, and close in on the giant python. It then unleashed a powerful, condensed energy explosion punch with its remaining pincers.

Alpha's size is too large; even if only the snake's head remains, it is like a tree to an ant in the face of a large swarm of machines.

All the physical attack methods it relies on are ineffective in causing damage, and the same applies to the Summoning Spell: Farmer—it simply doesn't have a soul.

Fortunately, all Li Sheng needed was to make contact.

Boom!

The mechanical swarm of chelicerae pierced into the body of the Alpha Python, the armor at the tips of the chelicerae popped open, and the [Ape Man Degeneration Gun] hidden inside fired all its bullets.

Alpha's mystique was so high that even with all the degenerate bullets hitting its mark, it only reduced the power of the nuclear fusion engine and drastically slowed its flight speed.
This is enough.

The [Corridor of Heat Death] has opened. The Frog God, who has been resurrected after more than 24 hours, stands upright with his palms together, and crystal shards float around him.

Gravity, flipping.

Within the designated area, gravity reversed, and Alpha's massive serpent head plummeted uncontrollably upwards, shattering countless crystals before reaching the platform.

At this moment, the countdown on the Casio watch ended, and the four-dimensional cube opened on its own, releasing two streams of light that transformed into two dissection beds, which stopped on the platform.

Astronaut Will already knew his mission. He lay on the right dissection table, while the Alpha Python struggled fiercely. However, as the frog god released its grip from a great distance below, gravity returned to normal, and Alpha fell to the left dissection table.

Like the intense light of a star's birth, the two lights illuminated the entire crystal rock layer stretching for hundreds of kilometers, plunging everything into complete silence.

The visual receivers of the entire mechanical swarm were all burned out. The intense visual burning signal traveled along the cables to Li Sheng's brain in the cockpit, making his head buzz.

He swayed as he stood up and pushed open the cockpit door.

Gray Rain remained standing on the platform, arms crossed in front of him. The astronaut and Will on the dissection table had both vanished.

Instead, the platform itself has changed.

The ground turned into liquid and seeped into the crystal forest, transforming the crystals into other substances.

Rocks and mountains appeared out of thin air, and man-made buildings rose up one after another. Within these buildings, a large number of dormant mechanical life forms, children, appeared.

This extraordinary sight, resembling the creation of the world, left Gray Rain bewildered. "What's going on?"

"He is replicating his hometown."

Li Sheng seemed to understand something. The life essence of that Lv40 transcendent being [Yutian Di] was so profound that even tens of thousands of years after his death, he could still distort reality and modify the environment.

"Wait, it's not a replica."

Li Sheng quickly dismissed the guess, as those mechanical life-bearing children looked completely different from the residents he had seen in the Land of Dreams, and their brains did not need to operate through air pressure differences.

The "soul" of Welsh compatriots is essentially a state of continuous calculation in the golden sacs of the brain. Once the calculation stops, the "soul" disappears.

Therefore, simply replicating his hometown and copying Will himself, his sister, and his friend Robinson is meaningless. It would just be a counterfeit.

What he chose was a complete reboot of his own civilization.

clack clack-

One by one, the mechanical lifeform children opened their eyes. They had been programmed with basic intelligence and could speak as soon as they woke up. They looked at each other blankly and asked, "Where is this?"

"Who are you? Who am I?"

The mechanical children quickly spotted Li Sheng and Hui Yu, who looked distinctly different from them, and cautiously approached them, asking, "Are you the god who created us?"

Gray Rain raised an eyebrow. "You call everyone you see a god? That's typical Android thinking."

Li Sheng raised his hand to interrupt Hui Yu's nonsense, "I'm not your god, at most I'm his friend."

The mechanical children whispered amongst themselves, their personalities as fresh and pure as blank slates, and cautiously asked, "What should we do now?"

doing what?
If it were any other player standing here, facing an entire city and a vast number of easily manipulated general-purpose AI robots, they might turn them into their slaves, followers, or servants.

But Li Sheng only thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Now, cherish every breath, cherish every second of free thought, develop civilization, and live well. That's enough."
