The endless "data information" encompasses all mechanical bodies, biological bodies, plug-ins, and prosthetic bodies.

Even someone as powerful as Elisa couldn't possibly sabotage it.

She does indeed possess great power, but this power is also subject to the limitations of the Golden Rule.

However, as Big Data Conceptual Entity, even a slight influence on the order in which these "billions of data points" are distributed can have an indirect impact enough to interfere with the other two Big Data Conceptual Entity.

An ordinary person in a certain mechanical city had just removed his "network login device" and was recalling his memories of being online. The memory was filled with a hazy, extremely pleasant feeling. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

It was a pulsating "purple light" that seemed to flash by in an instant while he was enjoying the virtual experience.

What is that?

Similarly, on a battlefield, white smoke was billowing from the mechanical thigh of a corporate soldier. He banged on a switch, and with a 'click,' the outer energy clamp opened, and the charred energy plate was ejected, flying three meters away. The soldier grimaced and limped over, picked up the palm-sized energy plate, and examined it carefully.

What just happened? Why did the energy frequency suddenly increase so much? Is my newly bought 'ray gun' broken? Is it still under warranty?

In the programming department of a certain company, a neural editor was performing "neural programming." Lines of code were rapidly taking shape on his electronic vision when suddenly, a "GG" appeared.

Holy crap! What the hell, a virus?!

Then everything went black before his eyes; the electronic eye shut down with a 'pia'. In the dim light, he seemed to hear someone say—

"Server! The server's burned out!"

Deep within the sea of data, where endless communication channels lie, suddenly, a beam of light appeared, an indescribable 'purple light' covering one data node after another, before mysteriously disappearing.

In reality, the efficiency of signal base stations has begun to increase. If one signal base station increases its efficiency slightly, thousands of base stations will accelerate simultaneously, resulting in an alarmingly high CPU usage rate.

In cyberspace, a huge pipe suddenly emerged from the sea and pierced into a data node, disappearing in a flash.

Similarly, on this planet, the combat prosthetics currently in use, including but not limited to 'weapon plug-ins,' 'melee prosthetics,' 'combat chips,' and 'military senses,' have their data flowing through them uploaded to cyberspace, transforming into a bald giant hundreds of meters tall. His muscular body is covered with endless combat data, and each of his two arms is wrapped with two blood-red broadswords.

Finally, the monster opened its eyes, and through them, it seemed to see endless battles unfolding in reality.

"My name is Kratos!"

The giant, seemingly the embodiment of endless battle data, pondered for a moment, then casually slashed open a subconscious world with the blood-red blade in his hand. Within this subconscious world, a purple light flashed and disappeared.

"Nailed it!"

At this moment, Elisa opened her eyes with joy. In her field of vision, two powerful data fluctuations were entering layers of electronic illusions according to her wishes. These were the 'simulation matrix' that she had secretly learned from the Mother City and created.

"These two old geezers won't be able to bother us for at least an hour."

"You don't seem to be idle either?"

Elisa looked at the senior engineer and sensed that an encrypted communication data was being transmitted from her territory.

"Just to put an insurance policy on the safe side," the senior engineer said with a smile, "Just in case."

CyberBaidu remained silent, its gaze traversing the boundary between virtual and reality to reach the real world, an island made of garbage.

Metal scrap, mechanical waste, and weapon scraps—these products of the cyber age are discharged from every mechanical city and dumped into the sea. Over the years, this creates these garbage islands. Between the metal waste pipes and metal scrap racks, you can vaguely see a nimble tin rat scurrying about, its two rows of sharp teeth constantly gnawing at the metal.

These semi-mechanical species were able to cross oceans, starting from the radiation zone, and somehow drift to this island, which is less than ten miles in circumference, and thrive there. In a sense, this can be considered a miracle of nature.

And now, an even greater miracle is about to happen on this island—if all goes well.

In this area with a relatively high level of radiation, Dida felt exceptionally comfortable.

As the invisible radiation rays fell on her skin, instead of itching, pain, dizziness, or nausea, she felt an indescribable comfort, and her skin glowed like a glow stick from time to time.

She transformed from a lonely mushroom girl into a radiant lonely mushroom girl.

[Due to moderate radiation, your health has been increased by 100 (temporary), and your health regeneration has been increased by 10% (temporary)]

[Your Welt Energy +10 (Permanent)]

Mr. G told her that unlike the other three systems, information energy, bioenergy, and mechanical energy are all universal standards, but the 'energy system' is different. There is no such thing as 'universal energy,' and different types of energy produce different effects.

According to Dida's own understanding, this is probably for the sake of "system balance". Mechanical bodies can assemble machinery to form different combat systems, and carbon-based species can continue to evolve, eventually growing into a hexagonal warrior.

Energy life, however, is different. It does not have a physical body, but conversely, it can absorb different combinations of different types of energy to produce different types of energy reactions and carry out a variety of tactical changes.

Walter energy itself is a type of ray energy that leans towards exploration and attachment, and it will cause a "marking reaction" when it lands in different places.

Drip opened its palm, and mycelium like 'glowing yarn' sprang out, scattering everywhere like scattered dandelions. Each piece of scrap metal it landed on emitted a different color of light due to the different metal composition.

In an instant, Tick-Tock was like a fairy, with all sorts of lights rising and falling wherever it went. Affected by this, tin rats emerged from various dark places. In addition to the rats, there were also small mechanical bio-beasts such as exploding scorpions and electronic spiders, and even some radiated fish with legs.

'It should be about time it comes out,' Dripdrop thought to himself as it sprinkled mycelium. 'According to the intelligence, 'Honkai Collapse Entity No. 5' is hiding near this island, but what exactly does this advanced energy entity look like? A purple sweet potato spirit? A purple-skinned monster? Or is its shape completely indistinct?'

While Dida was lost in thought, she didn't notice that a purple light had appeared in the eyes of those mechanical bio-beasts.
