Brute Force Fails? A Dimensionality-Reduction Strike Under Idealist Rules
A blinding green light suddenly erupted on the deathly silent street.
Jiang Li looked at the flesh and blood on his left hand that was constantly rusting and healing itself, a savage glint in his eyes.
Faced with this unsolvable underlying logic virus, the smartest approach is, of course, to immediately switch to an intelligent alien to find code vulnerabilities.
But he refused.
"Code can't kill me? Then I'll just smash your crappy computer and the entire universe to pieces!"
Jiang Li did not choose [Grey Matter] or [Upgrade], but instead used the most brutal method to lock the gene pool on the dial to the option that represents the pinnacle of pure physical destructive power.
Bang!
[Loading Form: Ultimate Humungousaur!]
A deafening roar!
As the green light faded, a colossal ancient beast, sixty meters tall and clad in dark green, spiked armor, appeared out of nowhere on the retro streets of 1950s New York!
Its massive size instantly crushed four or five surrounding red brick buildings, and countless vintage Ford cars were crushed into iron discs by its giant foot.
What's chilling is that the pedestrians around them, even when they were trapped under the rubble or half their bodies were crushed, maintained the "head down, eyes covered" posture of an air raid siren, with stiff smiles on their faces, without uttering a single scream.
This is more like a group of rigidly running NPC programs.
"Roar--!"
Jiang Li, transformed into the Ultimate Humungousaur, completely ignored the rusty Iron Man armor in mid-air that looked as disgusting as a fly.
Since this is a law of cause and effect, then fighting monsters is useless; we have to destroy the base!
He raised the grotesque head of the beast and stared intently at the eerie sun emitting a black light in the sky. That was the "physical dome" of this universe.
Boom!
The Ultimate Humungousaur Rex exerted tremendous force with its legs. The entire tectonic plate of New York City groaned violently under this stomp.
A colossal beast soared into the sky, like a green biological nuclear bomb, heading straight for the heavens!
Jiang Li's right arm muscles bulged wildly like a mountain range, and the destructive red light of the Phoenix Essence was extremely compressed on his fist. The power of this punch was ten times more terrifying than when he smashed Cyttorak in the Crimson Dimension!
Enough to instantly reduce a star with a mass ten thousand times that of the sun to cosmic dust!
"Smash it!!"
Jiang Li roared and unleashed a devastating punch, slamming it fiercely into the ghastly green sky!
However.
The anticipated scene of space shattering and stars collapsing did not occur.
There was no loud noise, no shockwave, not even the slightest breeze.
Jiang Li's terrifying kinetic energy, capable of shattering galaxies, was like a punch thrown into a boundless the Deep sponge the moment it touched the pale green sky.
No, it's even stranger than that.
Jiang Li clearly felt that his power was not "blocked," but "deleted"!
A harsh ripple spread across the sky, like a large snowflake and mosaic-like patches appearing on the screen of an old CRT television due to magnetic interference.
It only flashed for one second.
The sky returned to its ghastly green. The kinetic energy of Jiang Li's punch evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace.
"What?!" Jiang Li's violent vertical pupils suddenly contracted.
Purely physical attacks are ineffective against this universe.
Newton's Laws and the law of conservation of energy do not exist here. The underlying logic here consists only of "settings" and "rules." Any physical disruption that violates these rules will be directly treated as "invalid code" and wiped out with a single click by the Cosmic Firewall!
Just as Jiang Li's punch missed its mark.
The entire ERROR-404 universe seemed to be utterly enraged by this unruly behemoth.
Waaaaaah!!!
The originally monotonous air raid siren suddenly became extremely shrill and piercing, as if it could pierce the Soul Stone.
The pale green sky began to flash with blinding red light!
Immediately afterwards, a vast, multi-dimensional voice, devoid of any emotion and sounding like a mechanical synthesizer, resounded in every corner of the universe:
[WARNING! An illegal physical entity has been detected forcibly altering the world framework!]
[Illegal kinetic energy has been cleared.]
[Alert! Unregistered "Superhero" entity detected (codename: Humungousaur)!]
[Triggered the fourth rule of the Citizen Survival Rules: Superheroes do not exist in this world. If you have seen this, it means you have been corrupted.]
[Anomaly defense mechanism activated. Initiating the highest level of causality erasure.]
Rumble!
As the mechanical sound faded, the space around Jiang Li underwent an extremely distorted deformation.
This is not gravitational compression in the physical sense, but rather a "dimensional reduction attack" at the dimensional level.
The world before Jiang Li's eyes began to fade. The three-dimensional buildings, streets, and even the edges of his own body began to appear as two-dimensional lines!
That indescribable cosmic rule is forcibly compressing and reducing Jiang Li from a "real, three-dimensional being" into a "paper drawing" with no thickness!
Then get ready to throw it in the recycling bin!
The Ultimate Humungousaur's indestructible dark green heavy armor offers no defense against this conceptual-level dimensional reduction and annihilation. Because the opponent doesn't break your defenses; it's merely altering your "existence format."
"Warn me? Erasure me?"
The probing is over.
He has completely figured out the universe's trump card: absolute idealism, immune to physics.
"Fine. Since your crappy computer likes to play with firewalls and antivirus software, and since you insist on playing with code..."
It looked like my body was about to be completely crushed into a piece of paper.
The galaxy vortex on Jiang Li wrist watch face emitted a high-frequency hum that exceeded all limits!
"Then I'll use hacking techniques to burn your root directory!"
Swish!
The green light rolled back.
The sixty-meter-tall Ultimate Humungousaur vanished instantly; the lock-on of the dimensional reduction annihilation exhibited an extremely brief "target loss delay" at that moment.
In that mere 0.01 second of gap.
Jiang Li photographed the gene lock that represented the highest intelligence in the entire universe.
"Time to get to work, the universe's number one brain."
