A journey into an infinite dimension

"Fight me, or I'll kill you."

Chapter 345: SA, Let’s Start Our War Game

In an empty room somewhere in the Roman Palace.

Gaya and the girl, Hirapanosh, stood on the viewing platforms at both ends, facing each other across a spacious black and white checkered area.

Although it seemed that only Hirapanosh was looking at Jiaye, and Jiaye, who had his eyes closed, was not looking at her.

As for why this scene happened, it was because Hirapanosh challenged Jiaye to a fight right from the start.

According to Jiaye, Hirapanosh seemed to be a battle maniac, and she challenged him to a fight because she saw that his strength was close to hers.

As Jiaye had originally planned to quickly resolve this singularity, he readily accepted Hirapanosh's initiative.

And he also hated being threatened.

Especially using people close to him to threaten him.

However, Jiaye originally thought that Hirapanosh was going to use the most direct way of fighting, but she didn't expect that the fighting she was talking about was another form of fighting.

Although he was a little surprised, he agreed based on the conditions that had been negotiated.

If Jiaye wins, then Hierapanosh will have to leave this singularity and cannot interfere with their singularity correction work in Chaldea.

And if Hirapanosh wins, then Gaya needs to submit to her.

Maybe she wanted him to be her long-term opponent and sparring partner.

In short, under the influence of various factors, Gaya and Hirapanosh finally stood here.

"If it's just a simple battle, it will take too long."

Looking at Jiaye standing opposite him, Hirapanosh gently raised his hand, and suddenly, a huge light screen suddenly appeared in the center of the room, on which the so-called "rules" were written in some unknown but inexplicably understandable language.

[1. In the imaginary world, both sides will wage war using their respective mental landscapes as their bases.]

[2. There are three conditions for victory: 1. Successfully invade and occupy the opponent's Heart Scenery Stronghold 2. The opponent has no more available combat power 3. The opponent loses the will to fight]

[3. All arms and weapons used in war can be materialized through thoughts, provided they conform to the laws of the world.]

[4. The leaders of both sides can only command and cannot easily engage in battle. Unless one side's base is invaded or the other side takes the initiative.]

[5. Each team can choose up to three agents as their own trump cards, and set an additional joker card]

[6. All agents chosen as the ace will have their strength limited to a certain level, neither stronger nor weaker.]

[7. Every time a trump card is lost, the remaining agents of the party holding it will be weakened by one level, and at the same time, they will randomly gain an ability that is definitely higher than the initial level.]

8. No restrictions on jokers

9. There are no rules in this war, because it is not a game.

10. Victory is everything

There are 10 rules in total, but except for the first 8 which are barely normal, the last 2 rules directly negate all the rules.

In other words, the existence of the first few rules is just to provide an optional way of playing.

Choose to follow the previous rules completely, partially, or not at all.

Under the influence of the last two rules, the gameplay of this "game" instantly became complicated.

"...No, that's not right. The last two rules won't have any effect at all."

As his mind raced, Jia Ye suddenly realized something.

Combined with other factors, Jiaye soon realized why Hirapanosh proposed this rule.

Although it is just a guess for now, the rest will be slowly verified in battle.

"This will indeed shorten the time. Is there anything else you want to add?"

The Heavenly Eye lightly glanced at Hong, Meluki, and others sitting in the audience seats nearby, then retracted its gaze and asked Hirapanosh.

"You can also choose to add more rules."

The corners of his mouth curled up quietly with an ambiguous arc, and Hirapanosh looked at Jiaye with a look that seemed to become more satisfied.

She knew he had seen through it.

Although it doesn't seem impossible, it can be seen at this stage that he has obviously chosen the right opponent.

After understanding this, Hirapanosh's fighting spirit suddenly became stronger.

"The opponent is actually allowed to add rules. Is this really because of Rules 9 and 10?"

Scanning all the rules on the light screen, the more Mei Luxing thought about it, the more he couldn't understand the purpose of this "game".

Under the influence of the last two rules, all other rules are just for show, so the two people can use any method they want to determine the winner.

In that case, why not decide the winner through normal combat from the beginning?

Is it just to increase the playability?

"If we follow the rules, then Jiaye will naturally have one less card in his hand than his opponent."

Hong said softly, looking at the 5th rule.

"Not even one."

Three aces plus one joker, a total of at least four agents are needed.

However, among them, Aige and the "666 Beast" are one and the same, and therefore, if they become agents, they can only be considered three people.

In addition, since it is not clear what the fate of the agent will be after defeat, given Jiaye's personality, there is a chance that he will - no, it should be said that he will definitely not let them take risks.

So having no rules might be the best thing for Jiaye.

"Many of these rules have hidden deeper meanings."

Gently scratching the chin of the "Beast 666", Ai Ge slowly withdrew his gaze from the light screen and turned to look at Hirapanosh who was standing opposite Jiaye.

"Xiao Liu, are you sure she's not the Whore of Babylon?"

"Ow~"

Because Ai Ge's stroking made her weak all over, the "666 Beast" no longer had any dignity on her body. She opened her mouth and let out a soft and cute cry, indicating that although she had a disgusting smell on her body, she was not the real person.

"Then change one rule."

Faced with Hirapanosh's question, Jiaye, whose guess was further confirmed, spoke bluntly.

"Change Article 7 to: [7. Every time a trump card is lost, the leader of the party holding the trump card will be weakened by one level, and will randomly gain an unknown ability that is guaranteed to be higher than the trump card's strength.]"

"Then add: [11. There is no limit on the number of arms, but the types are limited to four]"

"[12. The total number of jokers is always '3']"

"[13. Everything is possible with the Joker]"

"[14. Victory is absolute]"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light screen in the center of the room suddenly showed the added and modified rules proposed by Jia Ye.

And in response to this, the smile on Hirapanosh's face became even wider.

It's getting more interesting.

"Then, let's get started."

Seeing that Jiaye did not continue to propose more rules, Hirapanosh snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the entire room was suddenly transformed into a starry sky. Except for the audience seats whose positions had not changed, the figures of both Gaya and Hirapanosh had disappeared from their original positions.

The light screen that originally stood in the center of the room was split into more light screens of the same size, and the content of the picture also changed from regular to the development happening in two different corners of this space.

Hierapanosh stands on a dark ocean with only a big sun in the sky, and the ocean is filled with countless war weapons; and Gaya is located on a steel planet with countless hideous weapons standing on it, swaying with the glory of iron and blood, and the surroundings seem extremely empty and dead.

At this moment, both Gaya and Hirapanosh's postures and temperaments were completely different from their previous communication.

"As a sign of respect for an equal opponent, let me formally introduce myself."

The luxurious dragon robe on her body had been taken off, replaced by an unknown dress that perfectly matched her temperament, like a long skirt. Hirapanosh's double pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the void and see Jiaye who was in a distant place at the moment. At the same time, her voice was also transmitted to everyone's ears.

"This body is called Hirapanosh, the embodiment of "Thought" in this world, the one who devoured [Beast VI/S (Sodom)]. My status as a replacement for Divinity (rule) is achieved."

The Whore of Babylon, recorded in the Book of Revelation. She is the Anti-Messiah and is considered the greatest evil by Christians. They call her the Crimson Dragon and also consider her Satan.

She will destroy the most prosperous and most decadent city of the era. But this is not divine punishment. It is the Holy Grail she holds that has allowed the "city" to prosper from the shadows.

What she finds particularly "delicious" is the flesh of fruit just before it rots. That is, a city-state overflowing with human desire. Just like in Sodom and Gomorrah, when all human desires converge in a city, it becomes her ultimate delicacy.

[She possesses these qualities, and her class has been determined. The title of Great Whore is merely a temporary one. She is the greatest disaster in human history, caused by humans.]

Its name is "Beast VI/S." It is one of the seven great evils of humanity and possesses the principle of "corruption."

[————It should be so, but what exists before me is definitely not the actual [Beast VI/S]]

Its true form is the foundation of the universe, having devoured Beast VI/S and seized its power. The primordial star, the mighty force that constructs all mass in the universe, the omnipresent "thought" of the universe.

It is the universe itself, now descending into the material world as the incarnation of a terminal server that commands all non-living things. It carries a network that upgrades all non-living things, replacing living things with them, aiming to restructure the universe's existing biological order and create a completely new ecological order system.

[It does not love humans, nor does it harbor feelings of love or malice toward anything. However, it redefines itself based on the spiritual nature of [Beast VI/S] it possesses, thus deriving a brand new personality.]

[Divinity Replace (rule replacement) as laweset (order reset), Hirapanosh]

————Divinity Replace Arrives————

Chapter 346: You guys are so high energy!

Boom boom boom boom——————

The imaginary world that should have been dead silent was now filled with seemingly endless artillery fire and death.

Countless warships appeared by leaping, but were pierced through the barrier by fierce artillery fire and then fell.

Countless military units fell one by one like the stars around them when the swords collided.

[The Seventh Troop, charge into the enemy's right wing formation to create a flaw]

[Mother Bug Fleet, deploy 300,000 Explosive Bugs to cover the Seventh Army]

[Alpha Squad 1 to 3, allowed to enter the Embers state, use your lives to seize the victory opportunities created by your teammates]

[Second unit, drop antimatter bombs to attract the enemy's attention]

As one order after another was issued, the balance of the battlefield, which was originally filled with countless lives, began to undergo subtle and unnoticeable changes.

In a huge warship floating in the rear of one of the battlefields, which is as eye-catching as a star in the night in terms of both size and posture, Jia Ye stands alone in the empty and silent bridge. Using both his "mind's eye" and "heaven's eye", he looks around at all the gaps in front of him that almost fill the entire bridge, reflecting the real situation in every corner of the battlefield at this moment. Countless information and intelligence flow and analyze in his brain, and finally form a series of countermeasures.

Command orders are not given through words, but are transmitted directly to the minds of the troops and arms that need to receive the orders in the form of thoughts, which is far more efficient than verbal words.

But on the other hand, this form of command puts an extremely heavy load on the brain.

However, for Jiaye, this burden is nothing.

The relaxed posture was as if he was strolling in the garden, and the calmness of being in control of the overall situation and strategizing was like a stabilizing force that would never fall. This emotion, along with one command after another, was transmitted into the minds of many soldiers and creatures, and their mentality was also infected.

[Report to the Commander, Noah's fleet is in place]

After receiving a reply from a certain unit, a new screen was called up without affecting other screens. Jia Ye, dressed in a black military uniform, nodded, and a calm arc quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, in this picture, a special fleet consisting of only a few small alien warships, which is far less massive than the other fleets fighting on the front battlefield in terms of posture and surface armament, and is not even enough to be called a "fleet", is drifting on the back of a planet.

Hundreds of light years away from them, a pitch-black ocean was continuously launching countless warships and troops into the battlefield. At the same time, in the center of a large sun in the sky, a girl whose presence was so huge that one could almost spot her figure at first sight was sitting quietly on it, with her eyes closed, looking as if she was dozing.

It is the stronghold of Hierapanosh and her mental landscape.

Jia Ye knew that she was not really pretending to sleep, but that she, like him, was fully enjoying this battle of command.

[Noah's Fleet, temporarily on standby]

Ordering this fleet that had easily infiltrated Hirapanosh's rear not to act rashly, Jiaye glanced at a certain screen and saw a fleet belonging to Hirapanosh that was also approaching its own base but did not impulsively attack. He just curled his lips indifferently and had no intention of stopping it.

Jiaye knew very well that this war, in essence, was not a struggle between two forces, but simply a battle between him and Hirapanosh.

Apart from them, all other fleets and arms, even the 'aces' and 'jokers', are merely tools to increase the fun of the battle.

However, based on the idea that "attacking first means being afraid of the other party", neither of them would act rashly.

Unless it comes to the point of being "forced to do so".

For example, the stronghold was invaded by the enemy, and so on.
