The Instance Ends, and Each Faces Judgment!
"Is it finally time to end?"
Xi'er pondered for a moment, then slowly walked out of the President's Office.
All combat units in Moscow have been destroyed, and there is no defense left to protect Xi'er.
At this moment, he stood completely naked before the Nantianmen Project.
Despite the buff from the Great Patriotic War, the various Arsenals of the Bear Country can continue to produce new tanks and new Military Ordnance, much like an insect hive.
But it was already too late.
Moreover, even if we could create wave after wave of Steel Torrents, it would be of no use.
Faced with such a disparity in strength, defeat was inevitable.
He slowly walked onto the street leading to the Kremlin.
Moscow at this moment has long since become a living hell.
Everywhere were the wreckage of fighter jets and tanks, and the charred corpses of the Russian Bears.
Raging flames burned rampantly in every corner of the city.
Looking up, countless Xuanniao and Baidi Aerospace Fighters were circling overhead.
The giant-like Chengying Mecha stood in neat rows on the street outside the Kremlin, as if scrutinizing itself.
In fact, the Nantianmen Aerospace Fleet could have precisely located and killed itself immediately, but they chose to eliminate all the surrounding Russian Bear troops first.
This should be the last act of mercy shown to him, and the final act of respect from the Dragon Country to those Challengers the Instance.
Tell everyone that this defeat was not unjust at all.
"It's all time to end this..." Xi'er muttered to herself. "I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."
Lin Ye had already completely satisfied him, letting him witness the pinnacle of technology in this world. Staying in the Instance for even a second longer would be a waste.
"Kill me!" Xi'er roared at the nearest Chengying Mecha.
The eyes of the Chengying Mecha immediately emitted a ghostly blue light.
"The supreme ruler of the Bear Country has been identified. Immediately commence the final cleanup."
Immediately afterward, the Chengying Mecha raised its arm, and a laser cannon was instantly generated, piercing right through Xi'er's body!
His body turned to dust in an instant; death came so quickly that he didn't even feel a trace of pain.
[Firmament Notification: You have been killed by the Dragon Country's Chengying Mecha. Your Instance has ended! As you were the last Challengers in the Instance, Firmament Challengers now conduct the final evaluation of your performance.]
It's somewhat comical, but it's also not surprising at all.
Because this was a war that could not be won from the start.
[Firmament Notification: The system has detected that all Challengers in the Instance have perished. This Instance mission is now completely over! The Instance has failed!]
With the final verdict from the Firmament, this grandest Instance in the history of the Azure Star, involving 16 million people, has finally come to an end.
It's all over.
[This Instance uses a rating and scoring system. The system is currently evaluating the performance of each Challengers to determine the final score and rewards/penalties!]
[Due to the large number of participants in this Instance, it will take some time to categorize and organize them. All Challengers still in the Instance, please be patient... The review process will take approximately five minutes!]
The Instance entered a blank period; all that could be seen on screen was the Nantianmen Battle Team returning to the Airborne Platform and continuing their bombardment of other major cities in Moscow.
However, all of this is no longer relevant to the Challengers.
What became of the Bear Country, and what the ultimate outcome of this war that swept across the entire Earth Online, was, are all within the Instance's own calculations.
The Challengers are merely passersby in this vast world.
During their downtime, the spectators began to offer their judgments.
[They still lost. Xi'er did her Head of State, but the difference in strength was simply too great; no one could overcome it.]
[There's not much more to say. Everyone just witnessed the true power of Nantianmen Project: Force Field Manipulation, Spatial Jump. With these technologies, the Challengers have absolutely no chance of winning.]
[Lin Ye is too cunning. If he had revealed the Nantianmen Project from the beginning, probably no one would have dared to oppose the Dragon Country.]
[God Ye is still God Ye! After this Battle, the entire landscape of Azure Star will probably change.]
[After this battle, several of the Eight Settlements Settlement likely be severely weakened. The Dahe Settlement, for example, may be completely disbanded... This outcome is indeed devastating.]
[They say that times create heroes, but I think it's more like heroes create times. Without Lin Ye, the Dragon Country would definitely be finished, but because of the power of this one genius, the tide of war was turned.]
I wonder how many people will die in this World War I...
The Great Xia Settlement.
The Conference Room of the Instance Research Center.
Long Yuan also received the notification from Firmament immediately.
[Firmament Notification: Dear Challengers, your purchase of the Annihilation-Prevention Privilege Card for Dungeon Designer Lin Ye has not taken effect. The 10 million points used to purchase the privilege card have been refunded to your account!]
A golden light flashed from Long Yuan's body, and he returned to level 4.
This scene played out once again, and Long Yuan could only manage a couple of dry laughs.
In the end, Lin Ye still won the Instance as always, and his points were returned.
Now he finally understood that the reason Lin Ye didn't buy the privilege card himself wasn't because he wanted to accumulate points, but because he had confidence in winning from the very beginning.
"It seems... I was overthinking it."
"Tsk tsk, this guy doesn't need this kind of protection at all; victory is practically guaranteed."
"Getting old, haha, really getting old."
At the moment of true victory in the Instance, all the high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Dynasty could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
A deafening roar of cheers erupted in the hall.
We won!
"Commander, Mr. Lin has truly won."
"Mr. Lin wiped out Eight Settlements in one fell swoop!"
"Hahaha, after this World War I, no one should dare to cause trouble for our Great Xia Settlement."
"Commander! Can we now reclaim our position First Settlement on Azure Star?"
Everyone felt a long-awaited sense of release.
These days, they have been fighting against the Eight Settlements every day and constantly challenging Instance, and everyone is exhausted.
The war ended at that moment, and everyone still felt like they were dreaming.
Li Yunlong lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, and said:
"Although this war was fought in our Great Xia Settlement, looking back now, we actually didn't do much."
"What truly defeated the Eight Settlements was Mr. Lin's the Great Wall Watch Instance."
"This is clearly a one-man battle by Mr. Lin."
Upon hearing Li Yunlong's words, Dean Deng Xian chuckled awkwardly twice.
"Force Field Manipulation System, Spatial Jump... so many technologies that we could never have imagined in our lifetime. After watching Mr. Lin's Instance once, I feel like I've suddenly gained a lot of insight into technology."
"I feel like all my decades of hard work have been for nothing. Thinking about it, I'm actually quite a failure, haha."
"Just who is Mr. Lin? How could he create so many world-shattering things all by himself?"
"Could Mr. Lin be a deity descended to protect our Great Xia?"
"If Mr. Lin really wants to leave the Great Xia Settlement, it seems we have no right to stop him."
Unbeknownst to them, the higher-ups of Great Xia had begun to deify Lin Ye.
There's nothing we can do about it; Lin Ye's series of actions were simply miraculous.
Looking back on Lin Ye's journey, just a month ago he was an unknown young man. From the Raging Waves and the coming Winter Is Coming to the Great Wall Watch and the Nantianmen Project, every step he has taken has shocked the world.
Constantly redefining our understanding of the world!
Throughout the thousands of years of history of the entire Azure Star, there have been many so-called geniuses who have changed the world's landscape, but in a longitudinal comparison, no one has had the power of Lin Ye.
Whether people in this world acknowledge it or not, Lin Ye is the strongest person in this world in thousands of years!
What else could this be but God?
Under such pressure, even the clansmen developed a physiological fear of Lin Ye.
"Why are you old folks thinking so much? If Lin Ye really wanted to leave Great Xia, he would have left long ago."
"Lin Ye is not only a god of our Great Xia, he is also changing the whole world." Long Yuan stood up and stretched his limbs, saying with some pride.
"Can't you see? Those so-called experts in the Instance are all being influenced by Lin Ye, constantly improving themselves."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lin Ye's every move is indeed constantly changing the world.
Rather than coming to save the Great Xia, it's more accurate to say they came to give this world strength.
"Commander... what should we do next?"
"Mr. Lin has resolved Eight Settlements in one go, which has left us somewhat bewildered."
Long Yuan smiled and shook his head, then stretched his limbs, picked up his thermos, and walked out of the Conference Room.
"Why are you asking me what I'm doing?"
"This old man is retiring, okay? Damn it, after this World War I, Lin Ye will definitely be the number one person on Azure Star!"
"Just ask Lin Ye what to do next."
After speaking, Long Yuan walked out of the Conference Room, but a hint of seriousness was visible in his eyes.
His guess was probably correct.
Lin Ye is accumulating so many points now, undoubtedly in order to quickly advance to LV5.
After advancing to LV5, they will definitely try to challenge the Firmament.
Before that, he had to tell Lin Ye as much information as possible, in the most detailed way he could.
Five minutes later, the Firmament had finished evaluating the performance of the 16 million players in the Instance.
This is a massive undertaking, but fortunately, the computing power of the Firmament is strong enough.
[Firmament Notification: This Instance uses a rating system. Rewards and penalties will change in real-time based on the Challengers's performance score; therefore, the points deducted from each person's Instance per instance will be different.]
[In the rating of this Instance:]
Winning in SS rank earns you 20,000 points!
Winning at the S-rank level earns 10,000 points, while losing deducts 500 points!
A win in the A-level category earns 5000 points, while a loss deducts 1000 points!
A B-level win earns 2000 points, while a loss deducts 2000 points!
A C-level failure will result in a deduction of 5000 points!
A D-level failure will deduct 10,000 points!
Failure at level E will deduct 20,000 points!
The SS rank can only be obtained by winning the Instance, so the highest rank you can get in this Instance is S.
[Xi'er is the one who obtained S-rank points in this Instance!]
[The following Instance achieved an A-rank score in this dungeon: Guderian, Fulangche, Mansh, and Rommel!]
[The following Instance achieved a B-rank score in this instance: All Challengers from the Bear Country! All Challengers from the Malaysia!]
The allocation of the first three levels was not surprising at all.
Ultimately, it was through the cooperation between Bear Country and Malaysia that Bear Country's Phase Two was made possible.
In this Instance, this is the only instance that truly poses a legitimate threat to the Dragon Country's army.
Xi'er did indeed do it.
He protects all those who support him!
As the commander of the Instance, he naturally earned the highest rating.
[Those who received a C-rank score in this Instance are: all Challengers from the Eagle Sauce Country who participated in the Pacific Ocean Naval Warfare!]
None of the participants earned D-rank points in this Instance!
[Those who obtained E-rank points in this Instance are: Arthur, George, Kaza, Park Minamoto no Yorimitsu Park Seong-man, Moso Xiaochuan Yamamoto Sanjūhachi, Kyokawa, Fuchikawa Yasuhide Yasui, Eagle Sauce Country, all Challengers from the US mainland operation, all Challengers from Eastern Ocean Island, all Challengers from the Thousand Islands Country, all Challengers from Myanmar...]
The subsequent ratings were also largely predictable.
The Challengers from the Eagle Sauce Country who participated in the Naval Warfare fought to the last moment and did indeed cause some damage to the Dragon Country fleet.
Although they were all Dahe people whom Lin Ye hated, Firmament was ultimately fair.
As for the other lousy fish and shrimp, they were basically wiped out as soon as the Dragon Country showed its face. E-level is the lower limit of the Instance rating, but it is not their lower limit.
People like Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Xiaochuan violated the basic rules of the Instance, so giving them an E-rank is actually too kind of them.
However, ratings are one thing, but violations of the rules must also be investigated and punished.
[Firmament Notification: Firmament Instance has detected multiple violations of Firmament Instance rules, resulting in point deductions and special accounting! As this is Endless-level Instance Instance, any violation will have a significant impact on the Challengers Faction; therefore, the punishment this time will be doubly severe!]
[Eagle Sauce Country Challengers Yasui intentionally harmed his teammate; his penalty has been increased 100 times, resulting in a deduction of 2 million points!]
[The Eagle Sauce Country Challengers Xiaochuan, Yamamoto Sanjūhachi, and Fuchikawa Yasuhide betrayed their teammates, deserting their posts as commanders. Their penalty is increased 100 times, with a deduction of 2 million points!]
[The Challengers from the Eagle Sauce Country Minamoto no Yorimitsu, betrayed his teammates and intentionally harmed them. As the commander, he chose the cowardly end of suicide... The penalty for this act is increased by 1000 times, deducting 20 million points!!]
