To Fight or Not to Fight
"Lord AKI."
Scholar Aoke, looking down through the observation window, gazed down at the Metaverse below, where humanity was in complete panic.
"This Multiverse No. 0573 has scarce Source Matter reserves and is not of much value."
"Moreover, after a long period of research and development, the Black Matter has now reached the standard of a ' Metaverse virus,' and you have named it -- the Zeroing Virus."
"Under the virus's devouring influence, all matter can be reduced to pure code, which is to say, degenerate into Source Matter —the endless Source Matter we already possess."
"The people here are also cowardly, selfish, and completely uncooperative."
Scholar Aoke turned to look at AKI, who was standing in the shadows, and asked, "Why not destroy this place?"
What this scholar Aoke, who specializes in virus research, was unaware of was...
At this moment, AKI's brows were furrowed, and the corners of his eyes were twitching slightly. "Where are my parents... where are my parents?!"
Let's go back to the "Breath of the Mute" incident.
When Qin Yiguan faced AKI at that time, AKI told him a story.
He suffered from 'edema' in his head from birth and was ridiculed by other children in the small town.
His parents, an ordinary couple with boundless love, sought medical treatment everywhere, spending half their lives and exhausting their resources, all in an effort to cure their child.
At that time, AKI said that he hated the city, and that everyone had died at the hands of the Breath of the Mute mechs, including his parents.
This is actually a form of protection.
Because, after God's Abandoned completely took over "The Breath of the Mute".
Qin Yiguan discovered the whereabouts of AKI's parents.
AKI's parents did not die, but are hidden in a secret mansion within the Metaverse. They lie in the top-tier Nutrient Pod of the Breath of the Mute, living within the Breath of the Mute, a remote paradise.
The Aoke's parents probably didn't know they were in a game.
They were happy raising a Aoke whose cerebral edema had subsided naturally.
At that time, Qin Yiguan made a metaphor for this kind of life— Metaverse within Metaverse.
once.
Qin Yiguan did not interfere with the life of that 'family of three'.
at this time.
AKI's brows were furrowed deeply.
To the outside world, the enormous face in the sky appeared with furrowed brows, as if it were both shocked and suppressing its anger.
"Where are my parents..."
"I clearly concealed their identities; they appeared to be just ordinary members of the hundreds of thousands of users of ' The Breath of the Mute.' Why did they disappear?"
AKI kept repeating that sentence.
Black snowflakes covered the entire Multiverse No. 0573.
Those are AKI's eyes, those are AKI's tentacles, those are his sensors.
But he searched every corner and couldn't find any trace of his parents.
"I am already very powerful."
"I am already very powerful!"
"I have endured countless hardships and returned from the Metaverse."
"I'm going to kill Qin Yiguan."
"I want to expand my territory, I want to conquer everything, I want to replace the Gemini Superbrain."
AKI's eyes welled up with tears. "At the same time, I also want to give my parents the best life."
"But."
Where are my parents?!
Why can't I find them?!
AKI roared angrily.
In that instant.
Countless spikes were released from the black sun, piercing through tens of thousands of heavy weapons, tens of thousands of mechs, and countless aircraft deployed by the Metaverse Government. The booming explosions echoed through the sky and lingered for a long time!
Within the Core Earth.
It was as if a barrier had been erected, turning all wonders into decay.
No matter how much you integrate, no matter what Reality Enhancement you possess, here, you are still an ordinary person.
so.
Faced with the seemingly invincible mysterious black sun, all the superpowered individuals 'disappeared'.
There are no superheroes who stand up to protect their homeland.
Only the soldiers of the Metaverse Government, unable to disobey orders, stood on the front lines, but as it turned out, they too could only become cannon fodder.
The sudden attack by the Black Sun has confirmed its nature.
It is evil.
The purpose is unclear.
The front lines were in a state of utter devastation.
Thick smoke billowed, and the ground was littered with the remains of weapons.
After the Gemini Superbrain forbids humans from going offline, once a person dies, no matter where they are, they are truly dead.
It's lonely and silent here.
Footage from this location is being broadcast around the world, with people simply hoping that the disaster is temporary and will soon pass without harming them.
Meanwhile, the ordinary people nearby who hadn't yet taken refuge in the shelter were also hoping that at least a few outstanding individuals—the "other people's children," the "legendary warriors," the ones we would sing praises to after their deaths—would appear to at least hold off the Black Sun for a moment, buying everyone time to escape!
Isn't this the typical plot in all stories?
Why is nobody here?
Is true human nature really this dark?
Click.
Someone stepped forward, his footsteps crushing a small clod of earth on the front line. He stood amidst the ruins, facing the dark sun in the sky.
This is a young man wearing a white suit.
His name is Jiu Zhengxuan.
Recently, there has been an organization that is not exactly respectable, but frequently appears in the public eye. It has not received official recognition, but it has not been banned by the authorities either.
It originated from the previous commander-in-chief, Lu Zun Lu Zun, who was evil, so this squad was highly controversial.
More teenagers walked into the ruins.
There were soldiers carrying metal boxes, girls in school skirts, and many other young faces.
"Reality Enhancement has been lost."
"And to act like a coward."
"Those are two different things."
The boy in the white suit looked up. "The Youth Order Squad represents the residents of Mirage City... We don't represent the residents of Mirage City, we only represent ourselves. We... will not yield!"
This team.
Though its roots are not red and its shoots are not upright, it has no fear.
In the distance, a man with a carefree and somewhat arrogant demeanor slowly approached, patted Jiu Zhengxuan on the shoulder, and said, "Having a student like you gives me... a real headache."
Hello, Teacher Qing.
Jiu Zhengxuan smiled in response, then looked up at the dark sun in the sky, "Qin Yiguan loves to show off so much, why is he nowhere to be seen this time? He's such a freak, he should be resentful and dissatisfied, could he have died out there?"
Officer Wang walked slowly over, his gun cocked. "He said he's in Multiverse No. 008."
Jiu Zhengxuan was taken aback. "He's actually learned to make excuses?"
It was at this time.
Suddenly, a cloud of black mist descended from the sky.
Then, another two-dimensional black shadow returned straight back to the sky.
The black fog dissipated.
Qin Yiguan stood calmly beside Jiu Zhengxuan.
Officer Wang paused slightly. "They finally came."
"Their entrance is always different."
Jiu Zhengxuan slowly turned around, "So what if you're here? Just another piece of cannon fodder."
"If even a little piece of trash like you stands up, how could I possibly be a coward?"
Qin Yiguan paused, "Besides, I didn't come alone."
As he spoke.
Qin Yiguan shifted his position, revealing Caregiver holding a baseball cap with one hand.
The Caregiver shifted slightly, revealing a thug gripping a Underworld.
Jiu Zhengxuan was utterly astonished, "Their faces... who are they?"
"That's my counterpart in other Metaverse."
Qin Yiguan left behind a sentence, then stepped forward alone, facing the dark sun.
Qin Yiguan recognized the face on the black sun all too well; it was AKI!
"You!"
"Qin Yiguan!"
The enormous face roared, and a sharp spike shot out from its mouth, aiming straight for Qin Yiguan's brow!
But Qin Yiguan remained unmoved. "If you dare to harm a single hair on my head, you'll never see your parents again!"
