Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

PS:

As soon as I got home, I found that the house was experiencing a humid climate, with water seeping from the walls, as if the house had been flooded.

Chapter 191: Concealing the truth

"who are you?"

"I am the hidden leader of the subterranean fire, and in public I am the doctor, a being named Natasha."

That's right, simply resembling her features isn't enough. Yu Tianyi also thoughtfully used the Zhou Dynasty engraving technique to create her brain, so this 'Natasha' is essentially a living golden statue.

"Well, with that, the preliminary preparations are almost complete. The next step is to optimize some of the details, followed by the testing phase."

It seemed that most of the work was done, but the finishing touches took Yu Tianyi quite a bit of time. He only spent about half a standard hour from the basic completion of manufacturing, but the debugging work took a whole day.

"Phew, finally done. These forces of order permeating the space are really hard to fool. Luckily, my skills as a craftsman have been greatly enhanced due to the enhancement of my senses, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken to finish."

Yu Tianyi wiped away the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and looked at 'Natasha' who, even after leaving the house where Sambo was, was still functioning normally and would not lose her ability to react due to interference from those forces of order, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Let me see, more than a day has passed. They should have met with Clara and Swallow by now because of collecting supplies."

He raised an eyebrow, placed an anchor point on her, and then had the 'Natasha' in front of him wait in Sambo's hut. Yu Tianyi himself then leaped off the ground and headed towards the location where the plot was taking place.

When Yu Tianyi returned to Natasha's clinic, Seele and her group were saying goodbye to her and preparing to negotiate with Schwarzrod according to the plot.

After they left, Yu Tianyi saw Natasha return from outside. He then revealed himself and spread his domain, briefly suppressing the power of order on her body so that she could move around normally.

"My lord, you've returned. Is there anything you need me to do? If there's anything I can do to help, I certainly won't refuse."

Natasha's pink eyes instantly brightened, and after bowing, she cautiously began to speak.

“Don’t be so formal, Nata. But you’re right, I do have a task for you here.”

As he spoke, Yu Tianyi activated the Realm Anchoring (pseudo) ability on his body, teleporting 'Natasha' from the small house outside Belloborg.

At the same time, he also leveraged his own expertise, making the subsequent operation, which was almost impossible, a very easy task.

Yu Tianyi first used his domain to completely envelop Natasha, severing her connection with this cycle of reincarnation. Then, he placed the teleported 'Natasha' back in her original position and used his domain to move Natasha away.

With each thought, he would use his talent to 'freeze' his surroundings and give himself enough time to think, making the whole process incredibly smooth.

Even after it was completed, the power of order on 'Natasha's' body was completely unaware that the object it was covering had changed.

"It seems that my idea is correct."

After waiting a while, Yu Tianyi looked at the motionless power of order and knew that his plan to substitute one thing for another had temporarily succeeded.

Of course, since Natasha is not the 'anchor point' of the plot that Sambo mentioned, it is still unknown whether this method will cause any changes when applied to the two of them.

But this is already a good start. So, what Yu Tianyi needs to do next is very simple: replace all the beings in this cycle that have not yet become puppets.

"I wonder if, besides Seele, Bronya, and Natasha, there are any other people in this cycle who still retain consciousness."

From Natasha, Yu Tianyi learned about the length of the cycle of reincarnation. Although he didn't know the exact number of times due to his mental state, it was definitely at least five hundred to six hundred times.

To be honest, even Yu Tianyi was a little surprised that these three had survived until now. You have to know that although the three of them are all Destiny Walkers, they are different from game characters. If their strength is converted into the locust plague apocalypse, they are at most at the level of the first level of Destiny Walker.

"Nata, in this cycle, besides Seele and Bronya, do you know anyone else who hasn't completely become a puppet?"

After waving his hand in front of her, Yu Tianyi asked a question, which brought Natasha back to her senses.

She glanced at the 'person' who had replaced her in the same spot with some surprise, but without asking Yu Tianyi how he had done it, she quickly regained her composure and began to search her memory with a frown.

"Well, earlier on, I remember that Silvermane Guard officer, Jepard Landau, once acted out of line."

But later I almost completely lost the ability to distinguish things, so I don't know what happened to him in subsequent reincarnations.

After thinking for a while, Natasha finally found a possible target in her memory. In other words, there was little hope for anyone else.

Although he already knew the general situation from the despair and fear beneath the surface of this planet, Yu Tianyi still felt quite helpless when he actually heard Natasha's words.

"If only a few people are left, then Yalilo VI, or rather, Belloberg, is beyond saving."

Even if he could replace all these people one by one, and the beings of the Order Sanctuary would leave after the ritual, the original civilization of this planet would be essentially destroyed.

"Yes, it's beyond saving."

Upon hearing Yu Tianyi's words, Natasha appeared quite downcast, her eyes slightly reddening.

Even though he already knew this, hearing it from the mouth of such a powerful being who saved him was undoubtedly a formal death sentence for Belloberg.

"As for Jepard, I met him once before and didn't see any independent consciousness in him. Even if it hasn't completely dissipated, it's probably not much different."

Yu Tianyi recalled the scene when he met the other party before, shook his head, and it seemed that the only son mentioned by Natasha also had a very precarious chance of survival.

"However, Natasha doesn't have much interaction with the Upper District in the story, so it's unlikely she can accurately grasp everyone's condition. I still need to go to the Upper District myself."

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Natasha.

"I plan to go to the upper district. Please keep an eye on things here. If there are any emergencies, please contact me through this."

After handing her a jade tablet, Yu Tianyi led her to Sambo's secret hut, where Natasha could stay temporarily without the Order Sanctuary noticing anything amiss.

Chapter 192 Cocolia

"The same situation applies to the upper levels. All these people are dead, and what remains are nothing more than empty shells that have been coerced by the power of order."

Arriving at the administrative district of Belleburg via the cable car connecting the upper and lower levels, Yu Tianyi casually patted the passersby, sensed their internal conditions, and then shook his head.

The consciousness of the living being has completely collapsed, and the electrical signals of the entire brain have almost disappeared. It looks similar to a sleep state, except that it is a long sleep.

"At present, there are only two possibilities for this level of power of order: one is that there is a very powerful Order Envoy maintaining this cycle, and the other is that the Order Sanctuary calls it from the Order Destiny through some kind of ritual."

After these twenty-odd incidents, Yu Tianyi seems to lean more towards the latter, based on the current situation.

Because if it were operated by an Order Envoy, he wouldn't have to be personally dealt with by the Order 'Taiyi' every time he was exposed; instead, it should be that Order Envoy dealing with him.

"Next, let's go to Kripper Fortress, the fortress named after the Guardian Star God. We might find something there."

After observing for a while, Yu Tianyi set off for the magnificent castle that could be seen by simply looking up. Several gears with a diameter of several kilometers turned beneath it, yet compared to the town below, it seemed to be suspended in the sky, making one marvel at the ingenuity of its creator.

"Before I traveled through time, I was so focused on watching the story and doing quests when I came here while playing the game that I didn't really pay attention to this castle. Judging from its technological capabilities, it's clear that the civilization level of Yalilo VI before the arrival of the antimatter legion was actually not low."

As he climbed the steps, some divergent thoughts flashed through his mind. Using his talent to avoid interacting with the outside world, Yu Tianyi ignored the intricate structure of Crepper Castle and moved through it at will, thus quickly finding the High Guardian's office.

"Such a rich power of order, almost comparable to the barrier I saw at the boundary of reincarnation before."

Logically speaking, this office shouldn't have such a high concentration of order energy. Something must have happened to cause this situation.

Regardless, the scene before him was definitely not something that could be achieved through a normal storyline. He was immediately invigorated and used his talent to pass through the barrier, thus entering the Great Guardian's office.

His gaze shifted, and he instantly noticed the figure behind the desk. The person was kneeling on one knee, holding a lance, and a heavy, stable power was constantly emanating from him, causing the power of order in this space to almost disappear.

It is precisely because of this that the power of order outside the office continues to accumulate, thus forming that clearly abnormal zone of order.

"Cough cough—".

As Yu Tianyi approached, the figure trembled and coughed a few times. Then, some amber-like crystals fell from its mouth, shattered on the ground, and then dissipated into specks of light.

"The Flame Spear represents preservation; being able to use it means that you have regained your will to preserve."

"!"

An unfamiliar voice rang in her ears, startling Cocolia. Then she saw a pair of feet wearing black boots appear in her field of vision.

However, the pressure of trying to use the power of preservation to fight against this omnipresent power of order is unimaginable, and it even caused her body to begin to show signs of turning into amber.

So even though Cocolia tried her best to look up at this uninvited guest, she was unable to do so after repeated attempts.

"Rest assured, I am not an entity of the Temple of Order, but rather someone who has come to try to save this world."

Then Cocolia saw this being squat down, and a resolute-looking man with black hair and brown eyes, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, appeared before her.

Before she could do anything, she saw the man reach out and press his hand against his chest.

Even though she had experienced hundreds of reincarnations, this was the first time Cocolia had encountered such a scene. Her face immediately flushed red, and a look of shame and indignation flashed in her eyes.

"Don't misunderstand, it's mainly because you've placed the core of your protection in your chest, so this is the only way I can help you."

Yu Tianyi was also speechless. He had just tried it and found that the protective force on the other party directly isolated the external imaginary energy. So, to reduce the pressure on the other party, he would have to directly touch the core.

However, there was no better place to put Cocolia than her communication point with the Flame Spear, which was located on her chest.

Fortunately, the position was slightly higher, just below the collarbone; otherwise, he would have been in a real awkward situation.

"Well!!!"

Vast and immense, the moment Yu Tianyi's fingers touched her skin, a tsunami-like surge of imaginary energy rushed wildly into the core in her chest, and continued to surge towards her limbs and bones, restoring the vitality to her almost immobile, stiff body.

"Okay, that's a temporary relief for you. Now you can communicate with me normally."

Yu Tianyi withdrew his hand and then spoke calmly.

Although his imaginary energy is worlds apart from that of a Commander like Six-Phase Light Heaven · March 7, it is a completely different matter compared to Cocolia.

"Thank you."

Cocolia seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and even two simple words seemed quite difficult for her to pronounce. After recovering for a while, she finally organized her words and said, "May I ask how this sir is addressed?"

"Tianyi".

"Lord Tianyi, may I ask what brings you here?"

Unlike Natasha, even though Yu Tianyi helped her out of her previous state, Cocolia remained vigilant and gripped her Flame Spear tightly before speaking cautiously.

"Don't be so nervous. Since I've chosen to help you and restore your mobility, I naturally intend to communicate with you normally. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Yu Tianyi paused for a moment, noticing the other party's still wary demeanor, before continuing.

“Even if I wanted to do something, you wouldn’t have any chance to resist, would you? Even if it’s for your daughter, wouldn’t you?”
