Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 379 Shadow Monarch

Bai Yang stared intently at Xing Shou and solemnly said:

"Star Guardian, you are very strong!"

The reason I insisted on granting you the power of soul nanomechanicals only after you had acknowledged me as my master was precisely because of this.

Even though Star Guardian has amazing computing power, he was a little dizzy at this moment.

"But I can't use the virtual universe like this. Right now, I'm always connecting to the internet using your assistant program's identity."

"I can't open so many clones at the same time, and my computing power isn't enough."

Bai Yang chuckled and said to her:

"This is not a problem at all."

I'll go find my teacher, and I'll go find the Lord of Chaos City. They'll agree, and they'll definitely help.

Xing Shou felt uneasy, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really no problem that couldn't be solved, and he began to be eager to try.

This is such a fun thing!

Seeing that she understood, Bai Yang immediately connected to the virtual universe.

He went online in the demon realm, and should have appeared on a virtual continent that symbolized the demon realm.

However, his permissions bypassed this process, and he appeared directly in the private dimension.

On the top floor of the renamed Star Sun City, in his chairman's office.

He began to contact the Lord of Dragons, and then instantly connected with his teacher.

The Dragon Lord's massive head appeared directly on the screen.

It started with a loud shout.

"Where are you?! Hold on, I'm coming for you!"

Bai Yang was taken aback, then realized that his teacher thought he was in danger in the demon realm and was ready to rescue him at any time.

He felt a warmth in his heart and explained, "Teacher, I'm fine."

But I have something urgent to discuss with you in person.

The Lord of Dragons stared wide-eyed at him, his expression certainly not like he was in danger.

"Ah, then come over here."

No more notifications are needed.

With a wave of his right hand, Bai Yang discovered that a fixed teleportation button had suddenly appeared on his personal computer interface.

With a light tap, he instantly arrived at the palace of the Dragon Lord.

Bai Yang bowed respectfully and began to speak:

"Teacher, you already know that I have a very powerful intelligent partner."

"I've discovered something here in the demon realm..."

After that, he explained his thoughts and ideas to the person opposite him.

The Lord of Dragons was initially quite calm, but as he listened, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

A dragon's tail involuntarily thrashed violently across the ground.

Bai Yang had already anticipated this, so he pretended not to see it and continued talking.

After he finished speaking, the Lord of Dragons was stunned for a moment, unable to come to his senses immediately.

"Let's go see Chaos!"

The Lord of Dragons grabbed Bai Yang's arm and appeared outside the palace at the top of Thunder Island.

As soon as he landed, he shouted inside:

"Chaos! Open the door! It's urgent!"

A large door slowly opened, and the helpless voice of the Chaos City Lord rang out.

"Long Xing, what's the matter that's causing you such a rush?"

The Lord of Dragons led Bai Yang directly inside.

Then, in a room filled with stars, he met the Lord of Chaos City.

Without needing to be told, Bai Yang repeated his thoughts once more.

The Chaos City Lord's expression changed repeatedly, his face filled with disbelief.

He didn't speak, but suddenly looked up at a certain place, as if he were communicating silently with some being through his thoughts.

The Lord of Dragons did not disturb him, and Bai Yang knew that he was most likely communicating with the mechanical race's universe lord.

After a long while, the Lord of Chaos City looked at Bai Yang again, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Bai Yang, how confident are you?"

Bai Yang honestly replied, "Sixty percent!"

My intelligent partner has a high degree of confidence in breaking through all firewalls.

What's lacking is an account that allows her clones to log into the virtual universe, and the computing power support of her clan.

Most importantly, we won't suffer any losses at all.

At most, it will temporarily occupy some computing resources, which is negligible for the group.

The Lord of Dragons turned to the Lord of Chaos and asked urgently, "How is it? Is it feasible?"

The Lord of Chaos City nodded slowly to the two of them and said, "Indeed, we can give it a try."

Then a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

He bowed respectfully to the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Dragon Journey.

Bai Yang looked at him, but found that the phantom was indistinct and he could not see its true face no matter what he did.

Upon seeing him, the Lord of Dragons said, "Shadow? You've arrived."

"My disciple, let me introduce you. This is the Shadow Monarch, in charge of the company's intelligence agency."

Bai Yang immediately understood the man's true identity.

The Shadow Monarch is not only the head of the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company, but also the head of the intelligence department of the Hongmeng, making him a cosmic overlord.

The shadow bowed again, then said to Bai Yang:

"Your Highness Baiyang, may I speak with your AI companion privately?"

Bai Yang asked curiously, "Why are you talking about it in private?"

The Shadow Monarch said in a cold voice, "Let her into my intelligent computer and communicate with me."

Bai Yang knew that this was actually a test.

The intelligent computer of the head of Hongmeng's intelligence department has a security level that is second only to a few universe lords.

Based on the optical computer equipment that Bai Yang is currently using, the computing power of each optical computer is not too different.

If Starguard can directly "enter" the Shadow Lord's private supercomputer, that's enough to prove her ability.

After finishing speaking, the Shadow Monarch took out a separate quantum computer and patted it.

A screen was projected, showing a clear progress bar and a 100% number.

He explained, "This is a blank computer; its core only has a program that connects to my personal number."

"If His Highness Baiyang's companions can contact me through him, that demonstrates its power."

Then he looked at Bai Yang intently with piercing eyes.

What would an intelligence chief think if he knew that all his efforts and value were completely less than that of an intelligent life form?

Bai Yang felt uncomfortable under that gaze. Although he understood the reason, he was still very annoyed.

He said in a nonchalant tone:

"Really? Does this progress bar indicate the level of security measures implemented?"

My partner only needs to reduce it to zero to mean we've succeeded?

The Shadow Monarch said dryly, "That's true. I wonder if His Highness Baiyang is confident?"

The tone of their conversation became increasingly inappropriate.

Neither of the two cosmic rulers intervened, allowing them to communicate on their own.

Bai Yang's voice grew increasingly cold as he asked:

"I wonder, has anyone ever succeeded in becoming the Shadow Monarch before?"

The unsettling shadow suddenly laughed:

"I once fought against the intelligence agencies of the machine race for four or five hundred years and managed to win by sheer luck."

At the time, they reduced that figure to 82%.

He said he was lucky, but he was actually very pleased with himself.

Who doesn't know that the Machine Race is the number one race in the universe in terms of technology?

Even if he can invoke the power of the virtual universe, it is still an astonishing achievement.

Bai Yang asked, "Can we begin?"

The Shadow Lord extended a hand and gestured for him to proceed.
