Eclipse City, Data Center.
The Star Network's computing power had reached its limit.
Its B-Rank Energy supply was gradually struggling to cope with the increasingly outrageous four-way melee.
Minor weaknesses began to emerge in its fierce clashes with the other Three Factions.
For the Star Network, this battle was crucial.
Containing an external rule would inevitably improve the Player Faction's overall strength.
That was also why it had agreed to the Divine King's request to help command this battle.
So upon discovering that its processing was overloaded, it decisively activated the grade A energy supply.
The grade A energy supply, also called war overclocking mode, was the second-highest of the six energy supply tiers.
Ordinarily, it mostly maintained a grade D energy supply. Grade E energy had long since been phased out; in the early days, it had supplied power by burning low-quality psionic coal and extracts from low-purity crystal ore.
The drawback was that combustion produced murky gray fumes, requiring a filtration system, while energy conversion efficiency was only around 69.5%.
Grade D energy mode marked a technological leap, using psionic reactors to supply enough energy for routine network management and industrial activities.
The grade C energy supply was called "special emergency power mode" and was used only under particular circumstances.
For example, calculating the intensity of energy fluctuations from spatial rifts that suddenly appeared on Earth, predicting when alien races would arrive, and so on.
The B-Rank Energy supply was called "localized war power mode." Its Energy Conversion efficiency for purified spiritual substance reached 100%, substantially boosting the Star Network's computing power.
In grade A war overclocking mode, Psionics matrix fission occurred within the reactor. Energy fed into it underwent a chain reaction, and energy conduits directed the explosive energy into the Star Network's core. In this mode,
