Launching an Attack from Barbie (Part 2)

The photographer had just spotted someone standing on the roadside in the midst of the storm, on the edge of a road already washed up by the waves. A moment later, the camera panned over and saw the person turn around and raise their right hand.

His first thought was that the person was greeting them.

But then they thought, how could that person have suddenly spotted them at this distance? The other person was standing alone on the roadside with no one else around, so it was normal for them to see them. But the two of them were on the rooftop, so they weren't so easy to spot.

The next instant, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky to the ground, hitting the person in the distance who had raised his right hand, and bursting into a dazzling light.

"Holy crap!" The photographer nearly dropped his camera.

"Oh my god!" The female host next to her was also quite frightened and took several steps back.

However, the lightning did not stop; one strike after another fell, all concentrated around the man.

The photographer blurted out, "It's probably been chopped into dust."

The female host murmured, "What heinous thing did they do?"

Of course, their voices were drowned out by the wind, rain, and thunder, so even though they were very close, they couldn't hear each other.

However, what happened next was beyond their expectations and even overturned their worldview.

The man who was struck by the first bolt of lightning in the thunderstorm did not turn to ashes. He remained standing firmly in place, with streaks of lightning, longer than his body, extending from behind his head and crackling against the ground like whips.

And then... he actually took to the air!

The female host and the cameraman both instinctively gaped open, staring dumbfounded at the person with long, shimmering hair growing from the back of his head, surrounded by a ring of white light, rising from the center of the thunderstorm and shooting straight into the sky.

After taking off, the long, electric hair behind his head grew brighter and brighter, and he became like a rising sun, breaking through the thick clouds in the sky and disappearing in the flashing network of electric light.

The "lightning-fast man" has completely disappeared, but the female host and cameraman are still looking up at the sky with their mouths open, ignoring the rain falling into their mouths and slapping their faces.

It took the female host a while to react before she shouted, "Did you get a shot? Did you get a shot?! We're going to be famous this time! We're going to be super famous!"

"Yes, yes! We've been filming the whole time!" The photographer quickly looked down to check the footage. The camera had been in shooting mode the whole time, even when the "electric flying man" was struck and flew into the air in a flash, the lens was always pointed in that direction, so he was fairly confident that he had captured the footage.

"I've already decided on the title for this episode: 'A Flying Man Guided by Lightning in a Storm! Is He the Mastermind Behind This Apocalyptic Scene, or a Superhero Ready to Save the World?' What do you think? When I get back today, I'll contact the website management. If they don't give us enough traffic, we're switching sites! This video is guaranteed to go viral..."

The female host was speaking excitedly when she suddenly noticed that the photographer's expression had become a little stiff as he looked at the camera screen, so she quickly leaned over to take a look as well.

"What happened?"

"I definitely took the picture..."

"Everything was fine until that part, where the footage ran out..."

The female host looked completely distraught and almost burst into tears.

The photographer, however, squinted thoughtfully and looked up at the sky. The footage he had taken earlier was all fine, but the footage after that person appeared had disappeared. This was clearly not a mistake on his part or a simple equipment problem.

The "lightning-fast flying man" soaring into the Xiang Kun.

He had been here all along, waiting for the illusion of the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant to "bear fruit" worldwide.

He knew that the enormous form of the "Ultimate Predator" condensing in Antarctica, along with the drastic global weather changes, would inevitably cause panic in human society and would be difficult to control completely. So, at this moment, when the "Ultimate Predator" was about to fully condense, he turned around and used this collective fear.

Yes, the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusion" that appears worldwide in various forms is different from the previous Montamira. It is not a projection of the fear emotions of the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Wooden Carving," but rather uses the fear emotion projection of the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Wooden Carving" as a framework and utilizes a large number of "Super-Link Object Matrix" spread throughout human settlements to reverse the unified emotions of the group and condense them into a fear projection to help him do what he wants.

High-Dimensional Factor can be directly influenced by consciousness, and emotions are a way to unify different consciousnesses. In Montamira, Xiang Kun discovered that the fear of the group has a beneficial effect on the fear projection of the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Wooden Carving". The fear projection is like a sailboat, and the fear emotion is like flowing water and rising wind, which can make the boat move faster.

As Xiang Kun further developed the "Super-Sensing Item System" and gained a deeper understanding of "hypersensory information," the global deployment and association of "Super-Linked Object" became increasingly sophisticated. He also discovered another way to establish emotional projections: using existing "Emotion-Infused Object" emotional projections as a framework to "hold" more of the same "content."

This would allow Xiang Kun to exert a wider influence in a less strenuous way.

To achieve this, Xiang Kun made many preparations beforehand, including having Tang Baona produce special songs, with two versions: an "enhanced version of fear" and an "exhilarating version," which were then precisely distributed globally by Alice.

Alice's music projection isn't simply about controlling all the electronic devices that can produce sound to play music. She's creating a full-range sound effect throughout the entire area. Even without any electronic devices, as long as there are enough "Super-Linked Object" in the area, Nana's "Fear/ Rousing March" can be played directly through air vibrations, causing deep emotional disturbances and amplifying the anxiety and fear that everyone in the area has experienced due to the weather, the "Antarctica monster," and various other events.

Once the group's emotions reach a certain level, these emotions will be "filled" into the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Wooden Carving projection frame" created by Alice through the "Super-Sensing Item System".

Then, once the emotions have been "filled" up, a shift to uplifting moods is initiated.

This explains why the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusion" that appears in different places, apart from the basic form being the same, has different appearances. It is a different projection of the image that can save the world and save themselves by different groups of people in each region.

This is a new application of the "Super-Sensing Item System," and it is also the first time Xiang Kun has actually operated it. However, he went to such great lengths not to conduct experiments or to help people all over the world drive away fear and boost morale, but to use the massive emotional projection brought about by this collective emotion to mass-produce a large number of "Super Coin."

The "ball lightning" that is detected by countries around the world, moving at high speed and converging towards the center of the Pacific Ocean from all over the world, is actually a series of "Super Coin" that have been revealed.

These are more "real" than Lao Xia's physical objects and can carry more characteristics of "Super-Linked Object," making them entities that are truly embedded in this real world.

Xiang Kun needs to eliminate the "Ultimate Predator" as quickly as possible and minimize the impact of the battle on Earth's ecology. This requires a swift and decisive approach.

These "Super Coin" are what Xiang Kun considers the most suitable tools or weapons.

However, relying solely on himself, Xiang Kun could only produce a limited number of "Super Coin" within a certain area, and this would cause a huge commotion and have a massive impact. If a massive amount of "Super-Linked Object" were gathered in a small space to assist him in producing a large number of "Super Coin," he might end up destroying the Earth himself without needing the "Ultimate Predator" to do anything.

Therefore, he and Alice devised a plan to use the "Super-Sensing Item System" for globally distributed manifestation, and those individual emotion projections were the necessary catalysts to help unite all the "Super-Linked Object" for "manifestation".

Only in this way can the "Super-Linked Object" be fully utilized at the same time to create enough "Super Coin" for Xiang Kun.

Under the influence of drastic emotional changes and with everyone's attention drawn to the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusion," the violent reactions and strange phenomena that occurred during the "Super Coin" event were also obscured by the severe weather and did not attract much attention.

In order for the "Super Coin" to successfully converge in the Pacific Ocean, Xiang Kun and Alice have put in a lot of effort to prepare. On land, things are fine, as most human settlements have been equipped with a large number of "Super-Linked Object", and with the assistance of "Little Radish", a path can be directly formed to help the "Super Coin" fly.

However, special attention needs to be paid to the sea. The flight route needs to be carefully calculated, and the "Super-Linked Object" needs to be buried and deployed two months in advance to ensure the existence of a cross-sea passage.

Although Xiang Kun's "Super-Linked Object cannot yet encompass the vast ocean, it is still possible to establish some narrow sea passages in a short period of time to provide launch points and coordinates for the " Super Coin ".

To achieve this, Xiang Kun even used "Super-Linked Object" to influence a fish community, giving it community characteristics similar to "Zero Zero One" and "Zero Zero Two," which could assist Alice in associating and deploying Super-Linked Object.

At this moment, flying high in the sky, Xiang Kun clearly sensed the position and flight direction of the thousands of "Super Coin." Looking at the clouds and ocean below, he felt neither the excitement nor the anticipation he had expected.

Ever since he developed the ability to "Electric Flight," Xiang Kun has fantasized more than once about riding thunderclouds and lightning, flying long distances and soaring freely in the sky.

However, because the conditions for "Electric Flight" are too demanding, even if he could fly later, he could not fly for very long or very far, and the area he could fly in was very limited.

Even with Mr. Liang's technical support, he could have easily equipped himself with a set of auxiliary flight equipment, but he still couldn't forget to use the simple "electricity control" method to conduct long-distance high-altitude flights.

Flying surrounded by an aircraft is one experience, flying with the assistance of an aircraft is another, and flying on your own without any external equipment or assistance is yet another.

This time, taking advantage of the global weather impact created by the "Ultimate Predator," Xiang Kun and Alice cleverly established a "storm passage," allowing themselves, like those "Super Coin," to have an air route directly to the center of the Pacific Ocean.

He had thought he would be very excited when he was able to take such a long-distance flight, but to his surprise, after actually taking off and looking at the vast ocean and layers of clouds, he felt surprisingly calm, with a sense of "nothing special" and "just so-so".

Then he subconsciously began to analyze his own psychology, thinking that it would be great if he could discuss it with Lao Xia. Then his thoughts suddenly went back to the scene a few days ago when he was explaining various things to Lao Xia and Nana and making them his "last meal". He thought of the scene of chatting with his parents at the dining table and the majestic "Great Mage picture" that the Little Chubby Girl drew for him.

He then realized that he was somewhat worried, or rather, somewhat reluctant to part with the time he spent with them.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but chuckle. This seemed a bit pretentious. It wasn't like they were never coming back; it was just a phase of transformation that would take some time. But whether it was his own calculations or Alice's, the time shouldn't be too long—at least a month or two, at most a year or two, but it certainly wouldn't exceed three years.

He should be back soon.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but go through all the details he and Alice had previously discussed in his mind. After confirming that there were no problems, he sensed and activated all the "Super-Linked Object" he was carrying, increasing his flight speed.

At sea, a vast, gray storm stretches to the horizon, moving forward at an incredible speed, like a giant, living beast.

Within that gray storm, something growing brighter and brighter, moving at high speed like a meteor, propelled the entire storm forward, just like the eyes of this behemoth, radiating a fierce and fearless aura.

From other directions, objects resembling ball lightning, flying in from various continents, were also rapidly converging.

Peng City.

While Mr. Liang and Old He were discussing the "Antarctic Crisis" and Xiang Kun, in the same city, Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, Little Chubby Girl, and Little Apple had just come down from the rooftop and were excitedly discussing the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusions" that had appeared in Peng City.

None of them showed any fear or dread, and Nana's "March of Fear" did not play here, unlike the others in the city.

If they were ordinary people, not the creators or organizers of the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusion," then seeing them would naturally affect them emotionally, and they would feel the collective fear that embodies the "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusion."

However, because they are all directly connected to the "Super-Sensing Item System" and are deep connectors, Alice's arrangement allows them to watch the various "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusions" appear as if they were just spectators, without being affected by any emotions.

Seeing those uniquely shaped "Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Giant illusions," the Little Chubby Girl was naturally the most excited. In her eyes, it was simply a "Barbie Warrior" costume show.

"Wearing armor is still the coolest! But that 'Barbie Warrior' was empty-handed, not powerful enough. All hands should be holding weapons, and the weapons can't be the same, that's what makes it impressive!" Standing at Yang Zhen'er's door, while waiting for her to open it, the Little Chubby Girl counted on her fingers and muttered her impressions of the "Barbie Warrior fashion show" to Alice, who appeared next to her, offering "guidance."

Tang Baona laughed and said, "Those aren't Alice can decide. They're images formed by other people's beliefs and shared understanding... Alice, am I right?"

Alice looked up at Tang Baona: "Yes, Sister Nana is right." Then she looked at the Little Chubby Girl: "But what Little Bell said can also be done, and can be done in the future, no problem!"

Yang Zhen'er opened the back door, turned around and laughed, "Hehe, then I'll design my own 'Barbie Warrior' in the future, I'm the best at matching clothes!"

"Alice, where is Uncle Xiang now?" Little Apple, wearing assistive vision restoration equipment and looking like she was wearing ultra-thin 3D glasses, asked from the doorway.

Alice walked into the room, pointed at the television, and said, "The boss has taken off!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the television turned on automatically, showing a person standing in a storm.

As if noticing the camera, the man turned around, raised his right hand high, and pointed it to the sky.

Yes, Xiang Kun deliberately allowed himself to be photographed, and he was indeed greeting people, specifically Tang Baona and the Little Chubby Girl.
