This time I chose Paladin

About ten minutes later, Nie Weiyang opened his eyes again.

He flicked his fingers and easily broke the man's neck.

Just like that, a villain who had once commanded the wind and rain in his previous life died. His corpse gradually twisted and stretched, transforming into a tall, thin adult man. And in Nie Weiyang's heart, a knife that had been sharpened for twenty years shifted slightly and found its target.

After rebirth, some beasts also refreshed. Even today, there are still many people to kill...

Fortunately, I’m familiar with it.

After making sure the remains of the corpse and the monster merged into one, Nie Weiyang stood up.

Now, all living monsters were enveloped in small, illusory balls of light, their bodies almost like phantoms, making them impossible to attack. He was the only one awake on this battlefield, and he could only look up at the sky, where a ball of light, more than a man's height, quietly floated.

From different angles, the sphere of light appears to be a polyhedron, changing constantly. Each of its sides reflects a beautiful landscape from a new world: starry skies, ocean waves, river valleys, and all sorts of rare landforms...

It's the Dream Eater, and what it reflects is the dream of the World. Its shield is armor, and until the mechanics are finalized, it's difficult to defeat it as a player.

There was only one Dream Eater in the world, and every Dream Eater that appeared was a separate entity. Of course, the strange term "Dream Eater" wasn't its real name, but its true name was a phrase that Nie Weiyang couldn't reveal to anyone at the moment.

In the new world, some knowledge that is too heavy will cost both the speaker and the listener a heavy price, which is one of the development paths of the "scholar" profession: exchanging initial vulnerability for knowledge. As long as they can really research something, these scholars will become real ideological nuclear bombs in the later stage.

Although the concept of 'nuclear bomb' has been modified long ago...it only points to a more powerful target.

Therefore, knowledge is power! It is always a good idea to study hard!

Nie Weiyang adjusted his sunglasses. After confirming that there was indeed no one around and no one was watching this area, he narrowed his eyes slightly and extended his mental power to the Dream Eater.

The Dream Eater is actually not a living thing, but a system. Its key is the 'Leader-level Guardian Badge', and Nie Weiyang just happens to have a 'Leader-level Guardian Badge [Administrator No. 2]' in his mind.

Therefore, Nie Weiyang had been waiting for it to appear, because in his previous life, he had seen its true identity through the identity of a boss. Although he didn't know the specific information, he was very sure that this thing was definitely more useful than anything else.

The feeling of mental power moving outside the body is a strange one. It is not like "a camera or a special type of camera moving" as shown in some literary and artistic works, but a feeling that has nothing to do with the five senses.

It's like countless tentacles growing from the void around a person, measuring the world through some kind of mental signals and touch. Therefore, mental power generally needs to be used in conjunction with the normal five senses. Otherwise, if only mental power is used to perceive the world, it will appear too invasive...

Putting aside other things, the main thing is that it is easy to offend people. After all, no one wants to be touched from head to toe twice for no reason while walking. That would seem a bit perverted.

Nie Weiyang called out the badge in his mind, turned it into a message, and reflected it in the dream-eating light.

In the void, at the intersection of light and shadow, a ray of light emerged, and the sword and shield emblem hidden in the shadow flashed by.

A large number of strange and concise words appeared in Nie Weiyang's vision, flowing from bottom to top like a waterfall flowing backwards. Before long, a simple and neat operation interface flashed up, with a line of text attached:

Dear [Administrator No. 6], welcome to [Terrain Editor T01-]. Reading the permission list...

[Read failed, you have automatically obtained read-only permission for [Terrain Editor·T6-01].

[Currently lost connection with the Sanctuary System, currently lost connection with the CSSS System, currently lost connection with the Planetary Control System, currently lost connection with the Hope Space Station, currently lost connection with the Dawn Space Station, currently lost connection with the Glory Space Station; please restart the Sanctuary Anchor Point, please restart the CSSS System Anchor Point; please clear the information infection within the planetary barrier, please eliminate the non-sapient artificial leader-level guardian units to regain [T6] planetary terrain control.]

[Warning: External high temperature detected, the planet's barrier has been damaged, current integrity: 91%, expected to enter a high temperature period in about [undeterminable] days, the high temperature will cause damage to the planet's surface, recommended link to the shelter list: [1970], [3721], [5818]...]

[Warning: Currently in a state of war, please prevent planetary activation and infection. If the planet's surface experiences autonomous activity changes, please eliminate the infection.]

[Current terrain editor's control over planetary materials: 0%]

Chapter 60

As soon as Nie Weiyang entered the system interface, he was given a series of tasks. He read the text and couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

[Terrain Editor·T6-01] Read-only permissions... You're not even willing to give me administrator permissions.

Lost the link, lost the link, lost the link, do you still have any systems connected?

Eliminate the non-sapient artificial leader-level defender units, but you won't give me a list. Do you want me to kill every boss on this planet that isn't on your side? And the external temperature is high...

So this is how the extreme heat waves of the past have come about. No wonder the planet seems to have no winter. So, how do the extreme cold temperatures come about? Why does the temperature drop after an extreme heat wave?

These questions were too complex. Nie Weiyang frowned. In his previous life, no one could possibly have acted as the same boss for as long as he did now. Perhaps even this boss identity was fabricated. If such a person existed, they must also be a well-known figure, and their intelligence information must have been on his desk.

As for 'currently at war'...

It's so funny, he kept playing and never stopped.

Preventing planetary active infection is even more difficult.

"The planet's surface undergoes autonomous changes." Does it count as the ground turning over on its own and spitting out monsters and zombies?

Of course it counts.

The current terrain editor has zero control over planetary material. Zero percent.

What's the use of you?

[Terrain Editor·T6-01], this thing is not controlling the planet, but the planet moves on its own. So, is there another thing controlling the planet, or is the planet controlling itself?

Nie Weiyang felt a complex mix of emotions. He removed his sunglasses and raised his gaze, gazing at the sacred cube within the sphere of light, and the phantom reflected upon it. He knew the answer to the question, a deeply cruel one. No human could escape the fate of being dragged into the abyss by this answer. But whether in his previous life or now, he still didn't know how to express it to those who didn't know the truth.

How would he say it, when it is better not to know than to know?

At least for now, people are not ready...

"Mr. Nie!" a voice called from afar, someone else calling him. Nie Weiyang's eyes flickered slightly as he saw that the shield value of 'T6-01'... no, 'Dream Eater' had been almost completely reduced. The multifaceted cube at its core seemed to be awakening, flickering and changing, different landscapes transforming and merging within it.

It was about to enter combat, and in its combat control panel, rows of target names were being registered and sorted by hatred value, and Nie Weiyang's name was listed separately and placed in the 'unattackable' list.

This is not possible!

Nie Weiyang turned around with a normal expression. Before he walked back to the crowd, his mental strength was constantly preparing—

[The shield value of the [Dream Eater] in the current area has been reset to zero... Entering combat mode. ]

【[Dream Eater]-

The creature of the deceased wisdom. --

Multifunctional. -

Normal attacks lock onto the target with the highest current hatred value.

Normal attack activates [Light Direct Attack].

For every 25% reduction in health, launch a [Light Shot] on the field.

Activate [Dream Flow] every 30 minutes, generating 1000 [Dream Echoes] on the field.

-

The administrator has not granted permission, so this target cannot be attacked directly. -】

'boom! '

At an angle that no one else could see, Nie Weiyang used his mental strength to severely attack Dream Eater, and immediately saw his name added to the list of targets, even ranking first in hatred.

A ray of light lit up on the surface of the Dream Eater, and a skill prompt quickly flashed across Nie Weiyang's vision—

"Bang!!!" A beam of light called [Light Direct Strike] flashed by, melting half of Nie Weiyang's shield. Speaking of which, this beam...why does it look so much like a 'Light Energy Shot'?

No, that's wrong. It should be that the light energy transformed by the 'Mind Prism Fragments' is like a dream eater!

But before Nie Weiyang could roll over to avoid it, the Dream Eater suddenly shone with light, and a soft, diamond-like flowing light spread across the sky and earth. The light fell on the ground, generating broken crystals of various shapes within a radius of six kilometers.

Crystals grew from the ground, a dreamy white mist flowing around them, with diamond light shining within them.

【[Dream Echo]-

Voices of the past. -

·Continuously launch normal attacks [Light Direct Attack] on the target with the highest hatred value.

Activate Lucid Dream every 5 minutes, generating 3 to 6 recorded Battle Phantoms.

·Have a [Dream Eater] shield equal to 1/1000 of your total health.

Destroy the [Dream Eater] and deduct 1/1000 of his health.

Non-renewable.

"Bang!" Another beam of light came straight at him. Nie Weiyang dodged again and shouted, "Hit the crystal on the ground!"

"Understood!" everyone answered loudly.

But at this moment, the light of [Dream Echo] shone! The white mist condensed and transformed into a variety of creatures: wolves, dogs, cats, snakes, spiders... They were huge, the wolf was as big as a horse, and among them, the most numerous were humanoid!

They were human-shaped phantoms without any signs of alien blood. Their faces were blurred, their bodies were pale and illusory, but they moved swiftly and professionally, and in a blink of an eye they were engaged in a battle with the people of Langcheng.

Nie Weiyang was surrounded. He dodged a beam of light by moving sideways, raised his shield to block, and drew his sword to chop!

"Crack!"

His attack landed simultaneously with that of a battle phantom, but the spirit of purification attached to the sword failed to purify anything. After the opponent's blade split his waist armor, the attached holy power made his flesh sizzle.

My brother has been playing restraint with others, and now he is being restrained.

Nie Weiyang's expression remained calm. He kicked the opponent several meters away, and he dissipated into white mist in mid-air. He also used the reaction force to roll backwards, avoiding the "warm reception" of the dozen or so phantoms around him.

Now, it's time to fight a tough battle.

It's not impossible for Nie Weiyang to change his identity and crush this clone as the "Second Administrator", but since this is the first time humans challenge a crisis, the protagonist must be humans themselves, not a so-called world boss.

He didn't want to see anyone become even slightly dependent on the 'Second Administrator' - that would definitely lead to a tendency to worship the identity of the world's boss.

In order to prevent himself from discovering that a religious group has placed Administrator No. 2 in a shrine as an idol when he is wandering around in the apocalypse one day, he must try to reduce the chances of this identity appearing unnecessarily, otherwise humans would simply give up the game.

From now on, until the 'Dream Eater' clone in front of him dies, Nie Weiyang will not appear as the second administrator.

Humanity must move forward with its own strength!

Nie Weiyang, clutching a broken iron shield, slashed through two entwined phantoms with his sword. He glanced at the Dream Eater, and the sacred polyhedron shone brightly, its light and white mist flowing, almost merging into one. Between the two, a faint emblem emerged.

In his own eyes, it was T6-01 automatically displaying a list of badges of authorized personnel, like a subtle external deterrent: "My system has a backer!"

But...wait?

Nie Weiyang's eyes widened behind his sunglasses.

He heard a voice coming from the edge of the chaotic battlefield: "Administrator Badge Number Two?!"

Chapter 61 Counterattack

"Administrator Number Two?"

"Is this what Administrator Number Two is in charge of?"

"Is this what a World Boss means? He's in charge of the final stages of a world-class event? No, his profile says 'on patrol'?"
