Chapter 511: 468 Void Two

Dragon Gate Crane stared in shock. Where did that monster come from?!

How did it grow to adulthood so quickly? That’s not scientific!?

He stepped back two paces, trembling all over, on the verge of tears.

"No, it’s... it’s my Flower Language Ability! Haven’t any of you checked?! My flower language is a mutated ability, contaminated pyracantha..."

"As long as I get excited, I can keep all allied units around me that I recognize in their peak condition for ten minutes! During those ten minutes, no matter how much they expend, they won’t get tired!"

"....."

"...."

The group that was a bit fired up just now was suddenly dumbfounded.

"This ability of yours..." Xindela was at a loss for words looking at the expression on his face, knowing that his excitement was hardly appropriate.

"Then why do you have to watch Sister Tang’s?" Xiao Zhong couldn’t help asking.

Even he, the usually reticent type, felt there was something wrong and couldn’t suppress the urge to complain.

"Well... mainly because I used it too much while practicing Flower Language Technique recently, and my threshold went up a bit... Now even watching porn doesn’t do it for me... Only Sister Tang’s... can comfort my lonely soul." Dragon Gate Crane sighed, displaying an expression of anguish over his past.

"How much porn have you actually watched...?" Da Xiong couldn’t help but ridicule.

"Not that much." Dragon Gate Crane shook his head, "Right now, you stand before me as if you were bare, I can see through to your fine curves and the trajectory of your bones at a glance."

He sighed again: "This is the legendary realm where one sees the clothes but not the clothes."

"...."

"..."

"....."

This time the group truly had nothing to say.

"Can’t you just transform into Sister Tang’s appearance yourself? Why don’t you watch yourself?" Xiao Zhong was feeling a bit frustrated.

"You don’t understand, Sister Tang’s heart, it’s different now..." Dragon Gate Crane said with a heavy shake of his head.

"Let’s confirm the enemy’s position," Li Chengyi interjected helplessly from the side.

"Saruman is on White Star, Brother Yi, this time you really have no way out..." Rainbow Candy replied.

White Star... indeed, it was too far away...

Li Chengyi sighed in his heart.

He had never thought that simple hacking abilities could be so troublesome.

Unless he disregarded all friends and family and stopped using any technological products, otherwise...

"Okay! Dragon Gate Crane, I’ll show you! I’ll give you an eyeful!! But if you can’t do what you said..." Rainbow Candy clenched her teeth, "I’ll kill you!!"

"For real!!" Dragon Gate Crane’s face lit up with joy.

"For real!!" Rainbow Candy agreed forcefully.

The enemy’s intrusion was accelerating, and the cards in her hand were running low. She had to act fast!

If she had unlimited energy, she could use the Heart of Convergence to attack and defend wildly!

At that point... within those ten minutes, she would be the undisputed Goddess of the entire network!!

"Come on!!" At this point, she went all in!! Just a bit of flesh, what’s there to lose from looking? It wouldn’t cost her a piece of skin!

Moreover, she had long considered Dragon Gate Crane to be like a sister to her.

Once this was over, she’d go through with the sex change surgery for him!

Li Chengyi seemed to sense something, glanced over here, then looked at Dragon Gate Crane with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Brother Yi?" Dragon Gate Crane was a bit confused but was so overcome with extreme excitement and anticipation that he failed to catch the deep meaning in Li Chengyi’s eyes.

Soon, the other men withdrew, leaving only Dragon Gate Crane, Rainbow Candy, and Da Xiong.

Dragon Gate Crane swallowed hard, step by step approaching the vat of conductive fluid.

With a flash of light, he suddenly switched to the Floral Dress state.

From a tall figure he transformed into the small and cute appearance of Rainbow Candy.

The silver Floral Dress accentuated his petite figure, and compared to Rainbow Candy, who was also in a transformed state at the time, his chest size was notably smaller.

"Sister Tang... I’m... coming!"

"Stop dallying! Hurry up!! What do you want to see?"

"Ah... I can choose for myself?"

"Hurry up! You waste of space!! You worthless wretch!! I’m going to kill you, one of these days!!"

"Ah... I’m so happy! Come on, insult me to your heart’s content!!"

The gentlemen on the other side of the door looked at each other, all feeling a bit awkward.

Soon, two minutes passed.

Da Xiong, expressionless, opened the door and looked at them.

"Okay, come in," she said in a deep voice.

"That quick?" Li Chengyi blinked. "Did he use his Flower Language?"

"Yes, he has used it." Da Xiong nodded and pointed behind her.

In the metal space of the thermo-controlled courtyard, Dragon Gate Crane was slumped on the ground, limp and weak.

Rainbow Candy was glowing all over with a golden light, looking like a little golden statue. The light wasn’t dazzling but soft and gentle.

Between the two of them on the ground, there was a golden line connecting them.

Obviously, that was Dragon Gate Crane’s Flower Language Ability.

"This idiot..." Rainbow Candy said with a deadpan face, kicking Dragon Gate Crane with her foot. "I just played a composite video of my face on the vat, and he went down."

"This ability is so freaky..." Even Da Xiong thought she was twisted, yet Dragon Gate Crane managed to outdo her in breaking through the lower limits.

"But the ability is really useful..." Rainbow Candy licked her lips, feeling an unbearable heat all over, and endless energy gushing out from within her as if it cost nothing.

She reached out with her index finger, and in an instant, countless air molecules converged rapidly at the tip, quickly forming a small blue ball of gas.

"Go!"

With a flick of her hand,

the egg-sized sphere flew out and gently hit the wall of the cave, exploding into a spray of water droplets in an instant.

"The Heart of Convergence with unlimited uses... The only limitation on me is the single-use convergence limit..."

Rainbow Candy made a gesture to the others before plunging her consciousness back into cyberspace.

In the silver-white data space, her consciousness darted through like a swimming fish.

Saruman stood across the myriad streams of data, facing her.

In front of both competitors hovered innumerable weapons and armors to choose from.

Custom firewalls were their most substantial defense.

Hackers exist as such individuals, not using their flesh and blood to physically fight but creating their tools.

Whether weapons or armors, everything served to seize more computing resources and thereby gain absolute, unitary power.

Currently, three firewalls floated in front of Rainbow Candy, and four unused virus and Trojan program weapons were her remaining ammunition.

If released and then decoded by the opponent, this interception could be declared a failure.

In front of Saruman floated as many as fifteen firewalls, with over twenty types of weapons densely packed.

The gap between them was not just in computing power but also in experience.

If the trend continued, the Garden of Fate was destined to lose.

Around them in the data space, the remaining eight councillors of the Void Council watched the battle unfold.

Some councillors were in discussions, others looked worried.

The former were those leaning towards neutrality or Saruman’s camp, while the latter simply disapproved of Saruman’s ideology.

"The outcome is pretty much clear by now," remarked Councillor number two with a sigh.

"The disparity in computing power is a bit too wide, and there’s also a significant gap in accumulated experience."

"Actually, it’s already quite strong to have fought to this extent," someone from the side replied. "After all, Saruman’s codename is ’God.’ For many years, no one has defied the Council’s will, thanks to his presence."

"The result was obvious from the start."

"Saruman is invincible, now and in the past, and so it will be in the future..."

"Why doesn’t that side give up? At this point, continuing to expend energy and equipment is utterly meaningless."

"Perhaps she wants a last bit of dignity," the other replied.

"It’s a pity..." One of the councillors sighed, looking in Rainbow Candy’s direction.

"They’ve started to clear out Mingyuan Group’s official upper echelon. Is Saruman planning to confront Yi Country officials head-on?"

The Emperor Yi of the Earth-Moon Yi Country was entertaining Jiu Yi and others when he received the news and quickly had his attendants broadcast the live commentary of the great battle.

In the resplendent imperial dining hall.

Holographic screens hovered in front of each person.

"The Battle in the Void?"

Among those returning was Dongjun, one of the three from Jiu Yi.

He furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the screen, only to find he couldn’t understand the data analysis displayed.

He then turned to his aide.

"What’s the current situation?"

"We’re going to lose... The Garden of Fate is going to lose," the aide sighed. "Saruman Kaladin is truly the strongest hacker of Twin Star. In less than twenty minutes, he’s about to win."

"What happens if he wins?" Dongjun pressed on.

"The Void Council intends to eliminate all members of the Garden of Fate, including their family relations. Once they lose, Mingyuan Headquarters’ main server in Suiyang will be breached immediately," the aide explained, emphasizing the seriousness of the current situation.

Dongjun frowned for a while, then fell silent.

Moments later, he tapped on the table.

"Your Majesty, esteemed colleagues, I believe that this so-called Battle in the Void is not a legitimate and fair technical competition," he said.

"What do you mean by that?" Emperor Yi and Empress Yi, who were chatting with two military leaders of Grade Eight, turned to look at him upon hearing his voice.

"What I mean is, regardless of Mingyuan Group’s nature, it still belongs to our Yi Country, and the so-called Void Council has no jurisdiction to judge," Dongjun stated coldly. "Therefore, I request the activation of Silent Fortress at full power for isolation to protect the fundamental interests and personal safety of the enterprise’s employees."

"The Silent Fortress?" Emperor Yi understood. As he looked at the simulated image of the confrontation on the screen, he saw Rainbow Candy barely holding on, with her territory reduced to a sliver; she would probably lose completely within ten minutes.

"Agreed," he nodded in approval.

The Silent Fortress served a single purpose, to isolate.

Full-power isolation was like an amplified version of the regular one, which could instantly protect all electronic devices within Yi Country, allowing only access to the domestic network.

The formidable Silent Fortress, an engineering marvel, had opposed White Star for who knows how many years.

Once activated, it could fully protect the safety of all ordinary people within Mingyuan Group.

"Minister Wei," Emperor Yi switched communication channels, "prepare to open full-powered isolation at Silent Fortress in the three provinces near Suiyang."

"Understood," Minister Wei, in charge of cybersecurity, immediately comprehended and responded.

"Dongjun’s action, could it overly offend the Void Council for the sake of a few doomed Blind Spot Individuals? Is it worth it to initiate full-powered mode, which seems rather unwarranted?" asked the Minister of Internal Affairs, who had also stepped forward to greet the guests, unable to hold back his question.

"Many members of the Garden of Fate have survived for over a year, with a few months left until two years."

"Whether the two-year curse can be broken, no one knows."

"If things remain as usual, and they die in a couple of months with legs stiffened, leaving Yi Country at odds with the Void Council, wouldn’t it be too much of a loss?"

"That’s not for us to consider. We should have anticipated their move before they made it," Dongjun replied calmly. "Saruman’s purification is not just against Mingyuan Group but also against us."

"So... since it’s a battle we’re bound to lose, let’s not fight it and just cut off."

"If the Void Council has objections..." the Minister of Internal Affairs frowned.

"Then they’ll have to consider the consequences of standing against half of humanity," the Emperor Yi said with a smile.
