[Little Octopus: Bro, that was way too close! Our server can barely take it!]
A super electromagnetic Sniper Rifle traveling at over 2,000 meters per second, a sniping distance of no more than 1,000 meters, and half a second to react.
Sandevistan couldn't slow down time. Even pushed to its limit, striking a bullet away after it had been fired at this scale exceeded the limits of the human body-and even the limits of machines:
Gravity, air resistance, wind speed and direction, humidity, temperature, real-time data-completing a whole series of high-precision calculations and predictions on a microsecond scale was already impossible to do with 100% accuracy. Lier was taking a gamble!
He was betting Muramasa's estimate was correct, that every piece of data in the calculations was close to the real-time values, if not nearly accurate, and that the tiny electromagnetic projectile, a sharp nail less than 6 mm in caliber, would appear at the designated position, with an error margin of no more than half the width of a Mantis Blade.
This small, extreme maneuver had forced Little Octopus to drain the Computing Power of most of the servers in both worlds, then push it to the limit!
Some servers had directly overheated and entered throttling mode, leaving them to wait for repairs or replacements.
And that one fluctuation caused massive disturbances across the Networks in both worlds:
A seemingly insignificant act of stopping a bullet-something that even people unfamiliar with the field would consider routine-had showcased the pinnacle of computer technology!
One fluctuation was all it took to expose a flaw.
At Stark Industries, JARVIS suddenly began to flicker.
[JARVIS: Mr. Stark, there was just a fluctuation in the ctOS Network. We can try Hacking again. I've prepared the tools.]
"This is such a pain."
