The Climactic Showdown Begins!
[Everyone will enter a temporary duel Instance!]
[The temporary Instance has no Challengers, no quest system, and no special mechanics! There are no complicated phases either; the victory condition is simply to destroy the opposing civilization!]
[The final battle is entering its countdown phase...]
In an instant, everyone was pulled into a temporary duel Instance.
What is presented to everyone is a miniature version of two planets in space.
Everyone can switch between the perspectives of Earth Online and the two planets, Insect Star.
Since everyone is quite familiar with Lin Ye's Earth Online, most of the Azure Star people focus their attention on Earth Online.
At first glance, many people have already noticed something amiss.
Compared to the Great Wall Watch phase, Earth Online seems to have undergone many changes.
The most obvious change is that Earth Online has changed from a single planet to two planets.
There's another gray planet orbiting the Earth!
Between these two planets, countless Orbital Cities and space stations are scattered like dazzling stars in a well-organized manner.
The Space Elevator is operating at high speed, connecting Earth with the Gray Planet and building interstellar bridges.
Near Earth's atmosphere, countless Universe are on standby, like towering steel peaks, densely covering a vast area.
There seem to be signs of NPC activity on the Gray Planet as well. It appears to be an affiliated planet of Earth Online, which has already achieved full interconnection with the Primary Star.
But if you zoom in, you'll find the differences are even greater on Earth Online!
The major cities on the planet seem to be much more prosperous than before, with all sorts of strangely shaped skyscrapers standing tall, and various flying machines shuttling back and forth in the sky!
In particular, the five plots of land in Five Permanent Members, when viewed from a distance, resemble giant fortresses on a planet.
Viewed from a distance, these five areas are magnificent, standing tall like five guardian deities. They are of varying heights and arranged in a staggered manner, each plot of land resembling a meticulously crafted work of art, radiating a unique brilliance.
This is the eternal core of Earth Online, formerly known as the Five Permanent Members, but now it should be called the Five Major Territories of the Earth Alliance!
The spectators couldn't perceive anything substantial; they only had one thought in their minds: compared to the Great Wall Watch phase, the large map that Lin Ye had been using seemed to have been upgraded again.
Some people went ahead to see the Insect Star on the other side.
The once brilliant, fiery Insect Star is now shrouded in a thick layer of darkness.
It was no longer a vibrant red, but an overwhelming black, as if the entire Universe was being swallowed up by this endless Insect Tide.
The overpopulated insects spread silently like a plague, weaving a vast, dense web that tightly enveloped the planet.
From high above, this planet is no longer a planet, but a black Insect Sphere slowly wriggling in space.
The black ripples resembled giant waves in the ocean, or a surging torrent on the land, sending chills down one's spine...
[It seems Earth Online is indeed quite different from before!]
[Looking at it this way, it seems Lin Ye wasn't recklessly challenging the Firmament; it appears he was well-prepared.]
[In the previous Raging Waves, " "Winter Is Coming," and "The Great Wall Watch, "Lin Ye extraordinary strength. Perhaps he really does have some trump cards up his sleeve!]
[Stop dreaming, we're completely finished this time! I just went to the Insect Star, and the insects there are infested. The entire planet is teeming with them. It seems that Firmament has increased the difficulty of the Instance in order to defeat Lin Ye!]
[If you could just look at a picture of Eye Bug planet, you wouldn't have such unrealistic fantasies. The scale of these two civilizations is completely different; how could they possibly fight?!]
[As Firmament just said, the condition for victory is the complete annihilation of all enemy civilizations. Those insects reproduce so rapidly, how can Earth Online possibly wipe them out completely? To a certain extent Lin Ye has already lost.]
[They're impossible to wipe out completely. These Zerg are like Roach on the Azure Star —they just keep coming back to life!]
The live stream Livestream Room was flooded with comments again. Apart from a small number of people who seemed to see a glimmer of hope, the vast majority of people were still immersed in despair.
There was no way around it; the Azure Star had always been the dominant force in the Firmament, and having enslaved the people of this planet for so long, they subconsciously felt that it was invincible.
Amidst the clamor, the Firmament began its final countdown.
[Firmament Notification: Only five seconds left in the countdown!]
[5...]
[4...]
[3...]
[2...]
[1...]
Amidst the cacophony of alarm sirens echoing from the horizon.
An unparalleled sense of tension swept over everyone.
The life-or-death battle between Earth Online and Insect Star has officially begun!
[The Dimensional Gate has been opened!]
[The Dimensional Gate connecting the two dimensions are located in the African Great Rift Valley of Earth Online and the Rotting Nebula of the Insect Star!]
As soon as Firmament finished speaking, the camera zoomed out to a desolate Great Rift Valley in Africa at the southern tip of the Earth Online.
This is a position that spectators have never seen before.
Because none of the Spawn Points Lin Ye had previously given were in this Africa region.
Looking around, all you see are deep canyons and towering cliffs that look as if they've been cleaved by a sharp knife.
Immediately afterwards, a tiny crack appeared in the sky above the Great Rift Valley, like shattered transparent glass.
The crack began to slowly expand, drawing in the surrounding air, which began to twist and stretch, forming a vortex-like structure.
As the crack widened, space itself began to tear apart, revealing a deep, energy-filled rift!
The inside of this crack shimmered with various colors of light, from deep blue to purple to fiery white, which intertwined to form a supernatural glow.
The spatial structure at the edge of the crack is distorted, creating an effect similar to a shattered mirror, where images of the real world can be seen being distorted and refracted around the crack.
From the crack, a powerful energy wave spread outwards, rippling through the space like water.
A massive "colorful Black Hole" directly covers the entire East African Rift Valley.
This is the Dimensional Gate that the Firmament Curtain sets up to connect the two worlds!
Sizzle!
Click click click!
Chirp chirp!
Weaving, weaving!
Accompanied by a dense and piercing chirping of insects, three enormous Super Giant Insects flew out of the Dimensional Gate.
