My Apocalypse Territory
Chapter 583 - 516 Does the Array Exist? (Long Chapter)_2

She once again secretly slipped out of the Royal Palace, disguised... unwilling to encounter other nobles, and without bringing any attendants... Sarina was not one for pomp and circumstance, and there was no need to worry about safety within the Royal Capital.

Moreover, there was Black Eyes.

She looked down at the black cat in her arms.

"If Black Eyes could enter the game too, that would be great."

Her favorite was an exploration type game in the virtual reality game of Illusion Techniques.

Piloting a vehicle known as a "spaceship" in a world called "space," exploring and adventuring.

From initially repairing a damaged spaceship, departing from a planet, to collecting materials to manufacture spaceship parts, retrofitting the spaceship, making repeated space jumps, exploring planets of different appearances.

The boundless space.

Planets with unusual landscapes.

Aliens with strange appearances.

And uniquely designed and enormous spaceships, warships, space stations, and even space cities.

Sarina was deeply captivated.

Since her birth, the "Eternal Wall" had been built, and for twenty years, Sarina had lived within the Royal Capital.

The Royal Capital was large, but for the lively-natured Sarina, it was like a cage.

She had always wanted to join the Wing Corps but was not permitted.

She could only learn about the Aino continent from some books.

However, as vast as the continent might be, compared to the universe in the game, it was merely a drop in the ocean... moreover, her understanding of the Aino continent came only from books, at most supplemented by some pictures, whereas exploring the starry sky, everything was seen with her own eyes.

Even though she knew it was only an Illusion Realm, constructed by others.

She couldn't resist the lure of "the universe is so vast, I want to see it."

'However, even Illusion Technique construction has to follow basic principles, how is such a vast Illusion Realm constructed? Those uniquely designed spaceships and space stations, are they just imagined? Or do they really exist?'

Suddenly, she let out a light chuckle, feeling that she was being too preoccupied.

According to Entertainment City's advertising slogan, just enjoy while you can.

She was preparing to enter the Illusion Realm,

Suddenly,

A commotion came from outside.

She could vaguely hear shouts of anger or fear.

Bang!

Crash!

Clang!

When Sarina came out, she saw a group of ragtag dressed men (a mixture of leather and light armor) who looked like no-name thugs wielding various types of weapons recklessly smashing and destroying everything within Entertainment City.

A swing of a club shattered all the glass with a ping-pong sound.

A hammer smashed down, destroying the central fountain in the plaza; soil and stones splattered everywhere, ordinary people and low-tier Awakeners with weak abilities cried out in fear as they fled.

'These are no ordinary thugs!'

They looked ragtag and had restrained their auras, but the force of their attacks drew the attention of many Awakeners who were not weak.

Entertainment City was not without guards.

Several well-regarded Mercenary Corps had already been hired to take turns guarding the place.

The mercenaries responsible for guarding at the moment also numbered three to five hundred, matching the ruffians causing trouble, but they were knocked down as soon as they met, with many mercenaries falling to the ground, blood spurting like fountains, their fate unknown.

"Those thugs, they're disguised Elite warriors!"

Sarina, being a princess and with accumulated resources, also possessed the strength of an Awakener at Awakening Tier Perfection, perhaps lacking in combat ability, but not in insight.

Their disguises couldn't fool her eyes.

The least of them were at the Ninth Layer Peak, and their combat skills were exceptional... not inferior to those Elite guards inside the Royal Palace.

Who could they be from?

...

In less than a minute,

Many shops on the outskirts had been smashed.

Frightened customers were scattered, and the bustling Entertainment City suddenly became desolate.

And at this point, those people had already charged towards the Black Night Tavern and the Illusion Technique game area.

'Take action?'

Sarina hesitated for a moment.

She could see that these people were very targeted in their actions.

Those freelance mercenaries, shop owners who were too slow to escape, beaten to death or wounded, and ordinary-dressed customers, they were merciless in their attacks.

Yet they naturally avoided the nobles dressed in lavish robes with attendants.

It was precisely because of this,

Sarina felt angry and more reluctant to see Entertainment City destroyed.

"Black Eyes,"

She called out,

The black cat in her embrace opened its eyes, reflecting a strange, vortex-like black color in its pupils.

Suddenly,

Boom,

Several ruffians charging towards the Black Night Tavern, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, had their chests caved in instantly and their bodies went hurtling backward, blood spraying.

Mark, with his brothers hastily gathered from the underground training area, rushed out in a hurry.

These old brothers, due to disabilities and such, had left the battlefield for too long. Now they are returning, and in order to adapt and become stronger, they have been training in the "Spirit Space."

Contacting the outside world was inconvenient,

Despite their rapid response, by the time they rushed out of the central building, the Entertainment City had been half-destroyed.

The mercenaries, employees, and tourists who were injured or even killed,

Along with the orders from the big boss.

Mark's eyes were red with anger!

...

Nobles have their own armed forces, and these men were drawn from the Duke Mansion's most elite Corps.

At this moment,

From behind,

On the rooftop of a certain building.

Mozang was watching from afar, and when he saw the guards of Entertainment City get wiped out in an instant, he let out a snicker.

"The concept of Entertainment City is good, but unfortunately, weakness... is the original sin."

He couldn't be bothered with using plots and machinations, choosing instead to use the most straightforward and brutal method to shut down Green Shadow Entertainment City for good.

It was because he wielded power great enough to crush anything in his way.

No matter which noble stood behind Entertainment City, compared to Duke Morton, they were hardly worth mentioning.

Those guards didn't last even half a minute; presumably, they were relying on the Patrol Army of the outer city?

Unfortunately,

Duke had already made arrangements with the Patrol Army.

The team responsible for patrolling this area arrived very late, dozens of minutes later, letting the "quick-acting" troublemakers escape.

In that time, he had enough to grab the manager of Entertainment City and interrogate them thoroughly.

He turned his head to look at the grey-haired elder beside him, "Master Cardo, the task of interfering with the Illusion Array is entirely up to you."

"Sure thing."

With his hands behind his back, Cardo gazed towards the building that housed the "Illusion Realm Game."

As an Array Master and Sacrificial Officer of Duke Mansion, Cardo lacked neither resources nor knowledge of arrays. He had extensive experience in both setting up and breaking arrays.

In the Royal Capital, aside from that Grandmaster, he feared no one.

Furthermore,

Merely interfering with an Illusion Array, making all players in the game disconnect, was much easier than deciphering or replicating a large array.

"This Interference Array Plate that I've spent years perfecting can disturb even master-level arrays. None can escape its influence."

"You truly live up to your reputation, Master Cardo. You must be close to achieving Grandmaster status by now."

Mozang offered timely flattery, "If it weren't for the need to extricate those nobles from the Illusion Realm without harm, we wouldn't have to trouble you."

Cardo was pleased.

A smile unfolded across his wrinkled face.

He held the Interference Array Plate and fiddled with it, injecting it with Source Power, "Starting now, watch closely. There will be changes within three seconds."

One,

Two,

Three,

Mozang counted silently to himself for a while, then looked up.

There was no change whatsoever in the building.

Well, the disruption of the Illusion Realm might only be noticeable to Illusionists and Array Masters.

But the people inside the Illusion Game must be in a state of confusion, right?

Mozang felt that someone would soon exit the building.

So he waited patiently with a calm mind, focusing intently.

One minute,

Two minutes,

Suddenly, he felt that something was not right. Turning his head, he saw Master Cardo sweating profusely, turning the Array Plate over and over, murmuring under his breath.

"Why isn't it working?"

"Failed again?"

"No, it shouldn't be!"

"I refuse to believe it, it's impossible, all lies!"

Master Cardo was pulling at his hair, talking to himself; even the Array Plate was disassembled.

Seeing this,

Mozang quietly moved a few steps further away.

He knew he couldn't rely on the Master anymore.

He would have to resort to Plan B.

Ignoring the nobles still trapped in the game, they'd directly dismantle the building related to the Illusion Array, taking its base for study.

After all,

Entertainment City no longer had any meaningful resistance. Whether it was capturing people or demolition, he was free to do as he pleased.

With this in mind,

Mozang was ready to issue new instructions. As he looked towards the area of the Entertainment City's shops, his eyes suddenly widened in shock.

My men... Where are they?
