Otherworld Skeletron's Expedition Against the Grassland Wildlife
The whole process is like replaying the growth of a tree in reverse.
As trees grow, both their branches and roots constantly branch out in all directions.
Now, all the World Rifts are gradually closing in, and when they finally return to the main trunk, they will converge into one.
[Delusion!]
While the total scale remains the same, the difficulty level is vastly different when switching from millions of battlefields to a single battlefield.
The Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters immediately made another move, quickly imprinting a trace of crystallization on the roots that were firmly planted in the void, and then spreading layer by layer like Spread.
Ed had to divert his power to resist the progress of Crystal Cluster, and the two world-class forces were locked in a stalemate.
The number of cosmic fissures eventually settled at 999.
The Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters initially chose the teleportation exits to be located in the most densely populated areas, such as city centers, historical sites, and landmark buildings.
The goal is to strike at the new world's vital forces as quickly as possible and to intimidate the entire world.
However, with Ed getting involved, the original plan has been completely changed.
The portal was still there, but the other end had transformed from a bustling, densely populated city into a desolate wilderness, where all that could be seen were various kinds of snarling wild animals.
That's right, Ed shifted all the portals, so even if the Skeleton Man completed their "boarding," they would be in a state of "looking around in confusion" for a short time.
After all, we've traveled all this way through the universe; we didn't come here just to stab wild animals in the buttocks with Crystal Cluster knives to broaden our horizons.
At this very moment, Vlad Tsepesh, the True Ancestor of vampires who had taken over the body of his offspring, had already awakened.
However, the undeniable truth is that the current level of the battle is far beyond his reach; even a glance at it might send him back to his previous dormant state.
The fact that he didn't lose consciousness while on the battlefield was actually the best possible outcome, thanks to his Crystal Cluster- Incarnation and being within the domain of the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters.
But at that moment, a voice he hadn't heard for tens of thousands of years resounded in his mind:
Vlad Tsepesh, the traitor to the world.
The Skeleton Man paused for a moment upon hearing this, then bowed politely.
"Please don't say that, my Creator—you should have the tolerance to allow your creations to surpass you."
Ed's struggle with the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters had reached a stalemate, and he was prepared to withdraw his consciousness.
However, before leaving, he still cast his gaze upon the man who, despite being nothing but a skeleton, still retained his dignity:
"If one day the vampire race is completely wiped out, the only reason will be your alliance with the Demonic Tide."
Having said that, without waiting for the response of the resurrected True Ancestor, Ed had already separated his main consciousness from the giant tree and implanted a thought of his clone, Little Green, as a supervisor.
This giant tree clone will disappear sooner or later, and at that time, the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters should launch a second wave of attacks.
Without the player's body as a medium, my next intervention might become more difficult.
But at least this time, the attack of the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters will not go smoothly.
After that, Ed accomplished three things in the shortest possible time.
One measure was to immediately sever the soul connection of all "regular" players, forcing them to return to the real world to maintain order. Ordinary players were also immediately warned, and it was up to them to decide whether to log off.
Secondly, all Dungeons and the production lines of the High-Quality Charcoal Processing Plant were simultaneously shut down, and the Wild Hunt Legion was mobilized to fill the positions that originally required regular troops, maintaining the stability of the entire Demon Realm war situation.
Thirdly, the corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates of the 999 torn locations in the real world were immediately sent to the website that was in contact with them.
My cooperation with official organizations in the real world has lasted for more than a year, and the relationship between the two sides has developed from the initial mutual probing to a certain level of trust.
With hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers and experts from various fields who have studied in World of Disorder, they should be able to respond to this crisis to some extent.
After doing all this, Ed checked the time.
Ten seconds have passed since the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters initiated the Great Rift.
In those long ten seconds, the entire global situation in this World of Disorder has been completely transformed.
Given the technological level of that other world, shouldn't they have already activated their emergency response plan?
With that thought, Ed dispersed his human form, returned to the Root Network, and once again Incarnation into a world-class supercomputer.
Countless project processes flowed through his mind like water, along with the allocation of his own strength.
These things include, but are not limited to:
With the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters;
Maintain the protective barrier spanning the three regions of the Theocracy, the Graycast Corridor, and the Demon Realm to prevent the Demonic Tide unleashed by the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters from sweeping everyone away in one fell swoop;
Continuously monitor the strength of the Eternal Domain's barrier, always prepared to wage war on two fronts—compared to the Lord of Infinite Crystal Clusters constantly stirs up trouble, the Twin Kings are more like Seraphina locking herself in a dragon egg, but it's really hard to say what will hatch from it;
To provide sanctuary for the Soul Returners and the Wild Hunt, enabling them to continue their purge of the Blood Corpses of the Demon Realm and preventing Samuer from using them for his own purposes;
To maintain constant communication with the real world, provide necessary information assistance, and attempt inter-universe teleportation;
Oh, now there's an even bigger problem.
If Ed's perception wasn't mistaken, then— the Floating Corpse Sea seemed to have come back to life.
Somewhere in the real world.
The piercing alarm pounded at everyone's eardrums like needles, and the pristine white walls were now stained crimson by the lights.
In front of a large screen that covers an entire wall, a group of people are watching in horror what is happening in front of them.
The situation is deteriorating rapidly, so rapidly that we may not even be able to handle it before we need to update our contingency plans.
Today's work went smoothly as usual:
Some were responsible for infiltrating the game to learn knowledge and develop abilities, some were responsible for analyzing the effects of the contained items and handling them properly, and others were responsible for resolving the increasingly frequent disorder incidents.
Over the past year, everyone has gotten used to this pace.
Although unexpected events are becoming more frequent, their manpower is gradually increasing.
Everyone knew things were getting worse, but no one could have imagined they would deteriorate to this extent.
It felt like a light drizzle on the first day, a light rain on the second, a moderate rain on the third, and everyone thought it would pour on the fourth, but on the fourth day—
The bricks were removed.
