Blind Spot
Chapter 513 - 470 Void Four

Chapter 513: 470 Void Four

In the distant White Star planet, there was a snow-white mechanical city floating above the ground.

Saruman, dressed in a white form-fitting electronic suit with his skin embedded with countless tiny chips, stood with the chips lighting up in a white pattern.

He was standing in a temple-styled hall at the highest point of the city, his eyes pure white as he gazed up at the Earth-Moon occupying most of the sky above.

"This is the price for challenging a god."

With a single touch of his hand, countless invisible program streams shot out like the silent wind, racing along countless network cables and radio waves, surging crazily towards the Earth-Moon supercomputers and electronic devices covering the surface of both celestial bodies.

The entire city below Saruman also began to light up with large patterns of light.

The white patterns looked like engravings on every part of the city, including buildings, streets, and the ground itself.

They wildly provided Saruman with maximum computational power and protection.

"Since you’ve chosen not to retreat at the final step, I shall grant you... brain death...."

In the intangible information space, the surface of White Star suddenly erupted with countless white meteors.

They shot out, trailing long tails of light, each possessing independent powerful invasive capabilities and the ability to replicate themselves. A single intrusion would mean complete destruction.

The innumerable electronic viruses, each of which would cause even the top network security experts tremendous headache, represented various vectors of attack.

At that moment, countless individuals converged and charged towards Suiyang.

If Rainbow Candy did not disengage from the Brain Control Wave state, the outcome would doubtlessly be total brain death.

But just as the countless white meteors were approaching the Earth-Moon.

A spot of purple light suddenly shone from the direction of Suiyang.

Rainbow Candy floated in the information space, holding a Purple Hydrangea that emitted a gentle and soothing bright purple light.

"If you are a god."

"Then what am I now?"

She silently lifted her head and gently tossed the Purple Hydrangea forward.

The small purple flower had just left her hand when it turned into a streak of purple light, shooting out towards White Star.

The purple light lengthened into a fine needle, traversing the distance between the twin stars in an instant, breaking through White Star’s network defense layers that covered the surface.

Penetrating the information interference system above the city.

In a fraction of a second, it charged towards the astonished Saruman.

Nothing could stop this streak of purple light.

She was like the most dazzling and pure needle, piercing through everything that stood in her way.

Thud!

The numerous firewall rings around Saruman were instantly penetrated, shattered, and exploded.

He looked up in shock, his body seemingly hit by a huge force, slightly arching backwards.

"I... what is this!!??"

Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!

All at once, his body exploded, with a burst of purple needles from within.

Countless purple light needles radiated from him, quickly dyeing the surrounding area purple.

In the blink of an eye, this immense mechanical city, comparable in size to Suiyang, was stained purple.

The purple light did not stop there, spreading rapidly in all directions.

The light needles crossed vast lands, wide rivers, and oceans at the speed of light.

They penetrated city after city, countless devices and smartphones of the People of White Star...

Two seconds later.

Surrounding White Star, countless information electromagnetic waves were all dyed a unique frequency.

Rainbow Candy looked up at White Star, and in her eyes, and the eyes of all hackers on both stars at that moment,

The previously white planet was now thoroughly contaminated by endless purple.

Countless purple lights on the surface of White Star converged into numerous petals.

The petals came together to form larger flowers, flower bodies.

Until finally, they formed an immense Purple Hydrangea!

At that moment, the white viruses that had been flying toward Rainbow Candy were also dyed purple, disintegrating mid-course, turning into a gentle breeze and rain, dissipating into invisibility.

The massive Purple Hydrangea slowly bloomed.

"To completely abandon the body and enter the network space, how foolish." Rainbow Candy once again formed a new Purple Hydrangea in her hands, bringing it to her nose to take a gentle whiff.

"Now, who is the god?"

She softly asked.

The voice, riding the waves, instantly spread across the networks of both celestial bodies.

There was a global silence.

All the bystanders stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.

In all the shopping malls on White Star, on every electronic screen, light screen, everyone’s smartphones, and personal smart devices.

At that moment, they all automatically turned on their speakers, and countless electronic synthesized female voices rang out simultaneously.

"Now... who is the god!?"

The billions of people of White Star were bewildered, thinking their devices were damaged, but soon, the authorities took emergency action to cut off all information channels to White Star, revealing the truth to the populace.

All automated vehicles, airships, whether private or public, and all automated facilities echoed Rainbow Candy’s phrase.

Even if White Star’s most powerful AI cut off Rainbow Candy’s remote control, the self-replicating and hidden Purple Hydrangea viruses were not so easily eradicated.

A multitude of factories producing networked automated combat vehicles and Reinforced Humans, among others, began exploding.

Various military bases started to malfunction, weapons firing randomly.

From space, one could see countless small flashes of explosions occurring frequently across the surface of White Star.

The swift invasion and spread of the Purple Hydrangea virus caused a large number of factories and transport mechanisms on White Star to break down in a very short time.

Many of the new People of White Star, who had merged their bodies with chips, were instantaneously consumed by the Purple Hydrangea, turning into criminals bent only on destruction, wildly attacking everyone around them.

In dozens of cities on White Star, over half had descended into chaos.

And Saruman, once the stabilizing needle of White Star, was nowhere to be found.

Just as Rainbow Candy had said before.

The outcome was decided.

The Imperial Palace of Yi Country.

Emperor Yi had just finished issuing a command. After quietly exchanging the details of the arrangements with Dongjun, he was about to return to his original position.

Beep beep beep...

Suddenly, a rapid escalating tone emanated from the light screen.

The many guests who had been chatting amongst themselves were suddenly united in a wave of surprise.

All eyes focused on the live broadcast of the battle between Saruman and Rainbow Candy on the light screen.

Everyone’s faces were filled with shock, and they unconsciously stopped all their actions.

"Hmm?" Both Emperor Yi and Empress Yi noticed something amiss and turned their gaze.

Yet they discovered that the screen, which had been covered in red dots just moments ago, was now being rapidly counterattacked.

Beep...

Swarms of blue light dots, symbolizing Rainbow Candy, rapidly overtook Saruman’s red.

Not only that, but the blue light stormed White Star and, at a jaw-dropping speed, completely turned White Star blue.

"Game over," suddenly declared a synthesized female voice from within the screen. "Thank you, Your Majesty, and all the guests for your assistance."

Swish!

The blue on the screen swiftly changed to purple.

All the purple dots converged to form a beautiful Purple Hydrangea, presented before everyone.

The venue fell silent.

Emperor Yi was stunned; this was, after all, the imperial palace...

Several seconds passed.

Applause erupted...

Suddenly, Empress Yi next to him began clapping with a smile.

The crisp sound of clapping served as a signal, instantly spreading among all the high-ranking figures present.

Whir...

All the attendees, including all of Jiu Yi, and even Dongjun himself, began to clap softly.

Among Jiu Yi, Black Phoenix Zhao Chengxi’s eyes held a complex expression as he silently stood with his drink, saying nothing.

"What are you looking at, clap," commanded Dongjun’s voice, floating from behind him.

Zhao Chengxi’s body quivered, and turning around, he saw the old man’s eyes bulging like brass bells, glaring at him, with an almost threatening vibe that if he didn’t applaud, he would be pinched to death.

"This is a matter of national grudge and family hatred! Set aside all prior petty feuds for such a major event!" Dongjun warned.

"Sir Mu..." Zhao Chengxi wanted to say something, but he nodded instead, setting down his drink and reluctantly joined the applause.

White Star and Earth-Moon had fought for so many years, with the casualties and losses incalculable; it could be said that a great majority of the families in Yi Country harbored deep blood feuds with the other side.

Therefore, as long as they could surpass the opposition.

It was a matter of national pride!

"Look, didn’t White Emperor always tout that they lead the world with their elite and deem civilians as nothing? Didn’t they boast that their educational system was far superior to ours? They even boasted about abandoning flesh to fully merge with AI and become a new species, achieving a leap in life evolution. So, what about now? Still evolving?"

Dongjun sneered; he was never fond of speaking because, in his eyes, most people were trash, unable to decide their own fate.

But his indifference and detachment did not mean he shied away from mockery.

Especially when mocking his old rival White Emperor.

"Her brains have been punched out, still evolving!" he declared, pinching at his beard energetically, his expression still calm, but the reddening of his earlobes and the uncharacteristic torrent of words revealed his excitement and pleasure.

Empress Yi covered her mouth, smiling gently, while Emperor Yi helplessly shielded his wife with his body to prevent her from being discovered and subsequently scolded.

After all, apart from being Empress, she was also a former student of Dongjun.

Empress Yi dared to laugh, but no one else did, and they lowered their heads.

"Without flesh and blood, human consciousness exists on the internet, and this is the result; they gained freedom but also became more vulnerable to lose everything," sighed Ding Meng, now somewhat recovered.

"With Saruman gone, White Star is likely to be in chaos for a short time. Now is a perfect opportunity for us to launch a major attack."

"The Yan family has made a significant contribution this time! Indeed, a great family known for cybersecurity! Only they could have cultivated such a talent."

"As for how to arrange things next, we need to consider White Star’s actual situation and not rush things."

"We can’t obtain detailed data; we have to ask Rainbow Candy."

"Yan Luo, it falls to you to personally make the inquiry. What do you say?" Emperor Yi added, turning towards Yan Luo of Jiu Yi.

Silver Sparrow Yan Luo remained calm, standing motionless in the corner with a drink in hand.

Hearing the question, he looked troubled.

"Rainbow Candy... she is the youngest direct descendant of our clan... since she entered the Blind Spot, the family hasn’t had much contact with her..."

"You might ask her if she needs an assistant or anything, given her identity as a Blind Spot Individual is ultimately..." sighed Emperor Yi with a hint of regret.

"Alright," nodded Yan Luo gravely.

Suiyang.

In the dense forests near Yunshan.

Li Chengyi and Xindela were also clapping.

"This is good..." he sighed sincerely.

"See?" said Xindela with a smile, "Even without you, they can now hold up Mingyuan on their own."

"This is the power you bestowed on them."

"No..." Li Chengyi shook his head, "I only gave them a starting point."

"But this starting point is the most important of all."

Rainbow Candy floated out from the rear courtyard, landing gently and extinguishing her personal jetpack behind her.

"Brother Yi, I have good news for you. I just took a very short time to infiltrate White Star and found some information about the Blind Spot, about Lien, and Yuan Ying!" she reported seriously.

"It includes some records of Lien’s initial attempts to escape the Blind Spot!"
