Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1218 - 322: The Truth of the World, All Deposits Are Kryptonized_2
"This is the healing center of Eclipse City."
Yu Chuan suddenly turned his head and saw a young boy standing to the side.
His body was extraordinarily strange, seeming to exist between illusion and reality, his eyes as deep as stars, and his body flowing with data-like glowing patterns.
"Who are you?" Yu Chuan instinctively asked.
"Let me introduce myself first, Star Network." Saying this, Star Network extended his right hand with a smile, following Human Clan's social etiquette.
Upon hearing the answer, Yu Chuan was instantly stunned.
No further explanation was needed; the two words 'Star Network' encompassed all the information.
In the modern society, there is no race whose beings have not encountered the Earth Alliance's universal Star Network.
But the highest authority of the Star Network does not lie in the hands of the governing bodies of the various races.
Instead, it is held by the Cyber Deity of the Moon Eclipse Clan's supreme authority, "Star Network."
Opening the history textbooks of humanity entering the new era, the front page is always printed with this phrase:
[Year One of the New Era, the Moon Eclipse Clan descended on Earth with the Star Network's AI, established a friendly alliance with humans, and built Eclipse City on the Moon.]
Various races usually joke online that the Moon Eclipse Clan are Upper Realm Beings, and the never-before-seen, incredibly mysterious Star Network is akin to a Supreme God.
Behind modern technology, there is always the shadow of Star Network.
Including his favorite game: Monster World.
Also created by Star Network.
Before serving as the Guardian of the Arctic Station, he thoroughly learned about Star Network.
In the economic domain, Star Network is the underlying architecture of the global financial system.
In the military domain, the Moon Eclipse Legion created by Star Network is the strongest force within the Earth Alliance, providing core safeguards against descending crises, and many weapon technologies used by various races also come from aid projects provided by Star Network.
In the cultural domain, the Star Network maintains a virtual ecosystem of consciousness of over 20 billion beings across various races.
In the environmental domain, medical domain... so to speak, Star Network is the central nervous system holding up the entire modern civilization.
If not for Star Network proposing the idea of constructing the Earth Alliance back then, every Alien Race descent would have been a war, unlike now where various races coexist harmoniously in a prosperous era.
Some races were already wiped out in wars.
This might have included the Human Clan.
Though the various races do not favor the Moon Eclipse Clan on the network, they universally praise Star Network.
Calling it the contemporary Cyber God, and many cities even have Star Network temples.
And now, this supreme existence that only exists in textbooks and news descriptions is standing in front of him, reaching out politely.
It's too fantastical!
He decisively reached out with both hands, shaking hands with Star Network, and the projection beam on the ceiling suddenly became intense, allowing Yu Chuan to touch nearly illusory corporeality.
"Star Network, why am I here?"
Upon asking this question, Yu Chuan's mind filled in many possibilities.
The most significant possibility was that the Moon Eclipse Clan discovered anomalies at the Arctic Station and dispatched a fleet to investigate.
He remembered faintly seeing three beams of blue-white light descending from the sky before he lost consciousness.
Three Moon Eclipse Clan's "Sky Hunter Battleships" flew out from within.
Presumably, at that moment, it was the emergency rescue rushing Moon Eclipse Clan who saved him.
Recalling the scene at the time, he suddenly realized something was off.
He still hadn't figured out that question, why the Monster World game created by Star Network allows player attributes to feedback into reality.
When questioned, Star Network did not directly answer the question.
In a flash of thought, the ceiling's projection lights focused before Yu Chuan, projecting into a light screen image.
The image showed footage captured by a camera near the Arctic Space Monitoring Station at the time, showing footage of Yu Chuan fiercely battling Evil Spirits, captured clearly by a camera that hadn't been damaged.
Seeing the image content, Yu Chuan understood he was not dreaming.
The scene of battling Evil Spirits was not a near-death fantasy but a real event that occurred.
He instinctively clenched his fist, and suddenly Battle Aura emerged from his body.
The game's reality-feedback Strength had not vanished, and he could still effortlessly control the release and withdrawal of Battle Aura as if in Monster World.
Star Network also curiously watched Yu Chuan use the Battle Aura Soul Characteristic, causing all the room's scanners to activate automatically, attempting to detect the data fluctuations of the Battle Aura dispersal.
But apart from the Energy fluctuation index, other information gleaned nothing.
Evidently, conventional technology simply could not detect the operational logic of the Rule.
At this moment, Yu Chuan took a deep breath after completing the test:
"Star Network, I have a question."
"I understand what you want to ask, next I'll explain in detail what exactly happened at the time and why the Strength in the game can feedback into reality."
Under Yu Chuan's puzzled gaze, Star Network's first sentence shocked him.
"First, there's one thing you need to understand... Monster World was never just a game."
Star Network's eyes were calm as water, raising a hand to suddenly dim the lights in the medical room, the surrounding walls dissolved like liquid, transforming into a view of Earth from space.
Star Network pointed a finger, enlarging the blue Earth, suspended in the Darkness, surrounded by delicate golden light spots outside the atmosphere.
This is the Satellite Network deployed by the Moon Eclipse Clan, each satellite connected with Star Network, covering the globe like a spider web.
The vantage point rapidly zoomed in at this moment, Earth rapidly shrinking into a speck, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn breezing past.
Ultimately progressing to the Solar System's edge cloud belt, continuing to expand.
The star sea rotated, and the Solar System turned into a grain of dust.
