Theseus

Because of concerns that the barrier's alteration of the environment might have unpredictable consequences, the initial environmental restriction upon activating the hidden barrier was to limit the entry of special energies from the Otherworld Demon Realm.

In the days following the activation of the barrier, some delightful things began to happen. Oval-shaped black portals that suddenly appeared in mid-air would explode due to the restriction of their energy.

Some people on the internet have even suggested that certain organizations could start planning Demonspawn breeding industry because Demonspawn will become extremely scarce in the future, and there may be a severe shortage of Demonspawn test subjects in laboratories.

A week after the barrier was put into effect, the success rate of the Demon Calamity decreased significantly. Only half of the ten Demon Calamity were successful, and the locations of these Demon Calamity also changed. They could no longer accurately target cities, and they had to start looking for weak points under the barrier's coverage.

Then the Environmental Monitoring Bureau also gave a preliminary investigation report, stating that the environmental changes caused by the establishment of the barrier are twofold: first, the temperature in various places will increase slightly; second, because the special energy of the Otherworld Demon Realm is prohibited, the Demonspawn living in the Starshine World may change.

Apart from this, no side effects have been found so far. As soon as this news came out, the internet began to boil over. The Demon Calamity that had plagued the Starshine World for many years was finally beginning to be conquered. From now on, there would be no need to worry about being suddenly killed by Demonspawn that rushed out while walking on the street.

After several more studies, it was finally determined that restricting the special energy of the Demonspawn had no negative impact on the residents of the Starshine World. The only problem was that the Demonspawn used as test subjects had become listless these days. According to the research, these Demonspawn were beginning to adapt to the changes in the environment.

Soon after, the second layer of restrictions imposed by the Starshine Grand Barrier on the environment began to unfold. This second layer of restrictions was aimed at the Star Calamity. According to research reports, most of the Star Calamity were extremely large in size, possessing a special gigantification factor within them.

The barrier is designed to target this gigantification factor. Any creature with this factor will gradually feel uncomfortable within the barrier. Subsequently, the gigantification factor will lose its effectiveness, and the symptoms will be the general weakness that Star Calamity experiences after a period of time in the Starshine World.

After a period of time, the environmental changes were not significant. The biggest impact was that some people who had previously received the Star Calamity gene and gained the ability to grow to gigantic size lost this ability, and it was not very beneficial to some people who had trace amounts of gigantic factors in their bodies.

Of course, as expected, the genetic surgery performed on this small number of people did not cause a greater impact. In a test a few days later, it achieved good results. After entering the Starshine World, the Type II Star Calamity began to become listless after ten minutes, and was unable to move after half an hour.

Therefore, although the Star Calamity still poses a considerable threat, it is much better than before. In the past, if the Star Calamity could not be dealt with, they could only be allowed to enter the city and wreak havoc. Now, even if they cannot defeat it, they can buy time until the Star Calamity is defeated by the environment. If they cannot even hold out for half an hour to an hour under such circumstances, then this hero organization is truly shameful and should resign from the council.

The various subsequent impacts are still under investigation. The current environmental modifications are not drastic. If the efforts are intensified and continued for a period of time, it is believed that this will be enough to completely eliminate the cheap teleportation technology of the Otherworld Demon Realm, instead of the current situation where there is still a 50% success rate.

They were also confident that they could turn the Star Calamity into some kind of giant creature that could only exist for three minutes before its chest flashed red, and they wouldn't even give them a chance to unleash their ultimate attack. Everything in the Starshine World seemed to be getting better, and even the Blood Calamity, which was temporarily unrelated to the Great Barrier, began to shrink its occupied territory because of the appearance of the vaccine.

Despite this, undercurrents were surging throughout the Starshine World, with various small-scale attacks constantly taking place. Lu Li also took this opportunity to visit the Theseus's Ship. After the Great Barrier was established, whether his identity was exposed or not was no longer important.

After the vaccine was developed and made available for free, although there are still occasional disturbances, the large-scale protests have stopped. Lu Li landed in the city by private jet.

Before Lu Li could even meet Aurora or Mei Juansu Bai Shang, a guy claiming to be Theseus's dispatched agent in the Starshine World asked Lu Li to meet Theseus in this world.

After going through a series of procedures, Lu Li entered a secret room and met Theseus from the Starshine World. This Theseus had a close connection with Him from Fairy Tale Town; in fact, they could be considered one.

Almost exactly like Theseus in Fairy Tale Town, a perfect being neither male nor female, neither old nor young, strictly speaking, He is the pillar and tentacle of the behemoth Theseus in the Starshine World. Lu Li can easily contact his true form through Him.

He was exceptionally calm and gentle, as if the disaster that Theseus had suffered had never happened. Even though many of the talented heroes he had nurtured had left, he didn't care. Instead, it was as if he had discarded the rotten parts of his body.

Theseus and Lu Li talked for a while about the upcoming itinerary and Theseus's preparations. Finally, Theseus thanked Lu Li, saying that he had been a great help to Theseus this time. After a while, the mission would be completed, and when they returned to Fairy Tale Town, Lu Li would receive a generous amount of contribution points.

"If there's nothing else, I have to get back to work. Theseus is in dire need of rebuilding, so please excuse any shortcomings in our hospitality." Theseus picked up his teacup, and Lu Li, without lingering, stood up, his eyes flickering, and said, "I have a question, which is merely a personal interest of mine."

"Hmm?" Theseus maintained a gentle expression and gestured to ask.

"I've studied most of the Theseus Repair Fluid, the Blood Calamity Virus, and the newly developed vaccine," Lu Li said with a faint smile. "I've found that these three are... too well-matched."

"Of course, it's designed specifically for the researched medicine, so it's a natural match. But that makes the Theseus Universal Substance, which lingered for a year, seem like a deliberate omission." Lu Li smiled, then asked a question that seemed completely out of place with his previous words, "So, will we be able to find our enemy soon?"

"Two hundred years have passed since the Dark Ages, and the world order has gradually stabilized. Minor disturbances are frequent, but major upheavals are unlikely." Theseus's words were somewhat nonsensical. "I believe we will soon be able to launch a counterattack against our enemies."

"That's good, farewell." Lu Li's smile grew even wider, as if he had discovered something interesting. After bowing to Theseus, he left the secret room.

Theseus watched Lu Li and said with a faint smile, "Interesting creature."
