Chapter 251: Chapter 118 Praise Calamity!

Li Yelai was one of the first Processors to know about this plan.

Because, he himself was an indispensable participant in the later stages of the Sword Madman’s plan.

Half an hour after learning of Ben Lei’s awakening, Li Yelai, who was resting, and several Processors were invited together to the wartime meeting room of the division.

In the meeting room, several team captains were present.

Yang Chen, Moon Shadow, Melting Furnace, Lie Yang, Sword Madman, and Doll.

The projection even showed other shelter captains and staff from the City Defense Army.

This made Li Yelai and the few other invited Processors somewhat astonished.

Given the current situation, those invited to the meeting room should be team captains or generals or staff from the City Defense Army. What use could he, a regular Processor, have? He was not a planner.

Then, the white-haired middle-aged man sitting at the main seat in the meeting room, Sword Madman, announced a shockingly heroic and sacrificial plan.

The officials would seize a certain area and within it, over three hundred Third Awakening Spiritual Ability Users would form a Spiritual Energy Phased Array to launch a terrifying attack that would reach a thousand meters underground where the master resided!

"Spiritual Energy Phased Array? What is that?" Li Yelai did not understand this at all. He vaguely remembered it as some kind of antenna technology.

It was another somewhat unfamiliar Processor beside him who spoke up to clarify.

Phased arrays often work on electromagnetic waves.

Simply put, a single antenna serves as a source, emitting electromagnetic waves that will spread relatively evenly.

However, if there are two sources of electromagnetic waves at the same frequency, the overlapping electromagnetic waves will no longer be uniform; some will be strong, some weak.

Placing multiple sources in strategic locations results in very powerful regions, also called beams.

An array layout of numerous antennas emitting electromagnetic wave beams is what is known as a phased array.

This technology is used in all aspects of human life.

From everyday life to military radar, phased arrays are used.

And the Spiritual Energy Phased Array is based on a similar concept.

The Spiritual Ability Users will act as individual sources and guide the beams to amplify the effect.

But the cost is that, as sources, they must shatter their own Soul Wells and fully embrace everything from the Void Realm, using the power of the Void Realm to act as the beam.

And ultimately unleash a terrifying strike.

And the cost... would be the deaths of over three hundred Third Awakening Spiritual Ability Users!

Shattering the Soul Well, the probability of survival was too low, and even if one survived, it was very possible to get twisted into a monster-like Sufferer by the power of the Void Realm!

Over three hundred, Third Awakening Spiritual Ability Users... this was almost an over half loss of the official’s core combat power!

These were all elite veteran Processors or simply members of Ye Boshou.

Yet they were to be fuel in the plan...

Would he know any of his friends in there? Would Cheese be there? What about Bai Yang and the others from Ye Boshou?

Li Yelai felt like he had a fish bone stuck in his throat.

Upon understanding this plan for the Spiritual Energy Phased Array, the invited Processors were all stunned. Even the captains furrowed their brows and remained silent. The other half of the projector showing leaders and officers in different locations also looked grim.

The meeting room fell into complete silence.

Sword Madman looked around and continued, "The Spiritual Energy Phased Array must be located directly above the flesh barrier where the Catastrophe Fog Master resides, so, our next action will be to open a new battlefield and immediately set up the phased array there, holding our position against the Insect Swarm’s assault until the phased array is activated."

"If the plan succeeds, I will directly penetrate underground, ripping through the insect network and the Flesh Barrier of the abyss."

"This will destroy all barriers between humanity and the Catastrophe Fog Master! It will also clear the path for the troops that follow. And you must advance swiftly, relying on your abilities or curses, to precisely locate the Catastrophe Fog Master!"

"Trigger the Taboo Item, Taiji·Yang! Command the Old Mad King outside the Disaster Fog to launch an attack."

"As participants, do you have any objections?" Sword Madman asked in a solemn voice.

"This plan requires the sacrifice of over three hundred thirty Processors from the start..." A Processor spoke up after silent consideration, "The sacrifice is too great. How many Spiritual Ability Users does Giant City have in total? And of those, how many are Third Awakening? After losing so many strong individuals, how will we face the Insect Swarm?

"We don’t need over three hundred thirty comrades; our major divisions all hold a significant number of illegal Spiritual Ability Users. According to Giant City law, they would be sentenced to death; now they can sacrifice for Giant City once. If they survive, their crimes will be pardoned," Sword Madman responded. "But we would still need about two hundred fifty people."

"Even so, the price we pay will be huge!"

"I know, but if we were to engage in a bloody battle through the maze against the Insect Swarm, humanity will sacrifice far more than this number!"

Sword Madman responded solemnly, "This is currently the only most hopeful method. I also don’t wish to sacrifice any comrade, but we have no other choice... If you have any plans, speak them now. If there are no objections, then we will proceed with the Spiritual Energy Phased Array plan."

"Speaking of which, since we already know the location of the Catastrophe Fog Master, why not let the Old Mad King attack directly?" a Processor asked. "No matter how tough the Flesh Barrier is, it can’t stop the power of a Void Realm King from penetrating straight through the Flesh Barrier and Catastrophe Fog Master!"

The title Void Realm King or Spiritual Power Monarch refers to a king.
