Or a Forebode?

Chapter 1034 -957: Is it an Easter egg?

Or a Forebode?

After Mavis hung up the phone, the special situation facing Victoria did not change.

The NPCs still refused to interact with her.

She had to abandon her plans to eat out, gave Connar some money, let her order food, and then watched Connar eat before going out to play.

...

She, with a bit of trepidation and unease, entered the world of” Pacific Rim”.

When she left the resting room and saw Shinshi doing the same, she was afraid that Shinshi wouldn’t be able to see her and she turned and left.

She didn’t need to play the game anymore, she could just go offline and practice her headstand!

It takes quite a long time to wash long hair!

Luckily, Mavis had a sense of restraint; the NPCs in the game world were not affected.

Victoria resumed her fight for the bet.

As for the mess she had just made, and the whispers online…

Well, since it’s already like this, let it be!

If nothing else works, she’ll go knock on Lincoln’s door to ask for mercy—she had been to Lincoln’s house during the closed beta of “Traveler of the Wind”.

Not only did Victoria strive for the bet herself, she also contacted the experts she knew—especially Lance and the Warehouse Bird, asking them to try to achieve the “perfect ending”.

Although an entire night and a morning had passed, and no one was still able to achieve a perfect ending, Victoria did not give up hope.

With many references available, she quickly progressed in the main missions and by afternoon she had successfully reached the final step.

Previously, she tried to save [Dangerous Wanderer], intending to pilot three mechs to bomb the passageway.

But unfortunately, she didn’t succeed.

The last to dive into the sea were still two: [Eureka Striker] and [Crimson Storm] loaded with a Nuclear Power Turbine Core.

Someone had tried before, if you do not install a nuclear power turbine core capable of causing a nuclear explosion, the task will almost certainly fail.

The strength of a level five monster is really off the charts!

So Victoria obediently crashed into this core.

At this point, there were only two possibilities left for her to win her bet:

First, she could perform exceptionally, defeat two level four creatures [Abomination] and [Swift Dragon] with minimal combat damage, then restrain the level five creature [Venomous Widow] and let [Eureka Striker] drop the bomb.

Second, she and Shinshi could transform into a nuclear bomb to bomb the passageway, but delay the reactor meltdown as late as possible to ensure that the nuclear bomb explodes entirely on the other side of the passageway.

Swiftly, the first possibility was declared a failure—

Despite her efforts to take the background music as a cue like Yi, hoping to kill [Swift Dragon] quickly.

But this isn’t as easy as imagined—especially when you are controlling a heavy mech one thousand meters underwater.

Victoria only had time to turn around, lift the chain sword, and before she could stab out, she was bitten in the neck and almost killed instantaneously.

By the time she managed to stab out with the chain sword, [Swift Dragon] had already used its armored shell to protect its weak point again—this is a common situation encountered by players with average skills.

Missing the opportunity for a quick kill, the difficulty of the task immediately began to skyrocket.

Later, when [Abomination] entered the scene, it became a total melee.

Under dynamic balance, the level five monster [Venomous Widow] appeared much later than Yi’s.

But as she watched the creature slowly rise and reveal itself from the passageway, Victoria still felt an overwhelming pressure—being there in person and watching videos are completely different experiences!

“It’s impossible, there’s absolutely no way we can win!” Victoria knew the result without even having to fight.

[Swift Dragon] and [Abomination] hadn’t been dealt with yet, and now a supremely powerful [Venomous Widow] that could command others had arrived, what’s the point in fighting?

She was already considering restarting the game.

But before she gave up, the General issued an order.

Victoria and Shinshi extricated themselves from the entanglement and moved away from the battlefield.

[Eureka Striker], under the siege of three monsters, valiantly detonated its nuclear bomb.

In that moment, a blue sun rose from the dark seafloor, illuminating everything.

Then, a vast amount of seawater was vaporized and pushed away, large waves forming a huge ring-shaped shockwave, surging towards the distance.

Even in her mech, Victoria had to raise her shield, stick her chainsword into the seafloor, and hold on tight just to avoid being swept away by the sea.

This dramatically selfless sacrifice made Victoria abandon the idea of restarting the game directly, and she charged towards the wormhole.

The robust level five monster [Venomous Widow], though directly hit by the nuclear bomb at close proximity, still survived and charged towards them!

But Victoria was already prepared!

They dragged the severely injured monster, now drained of much of its strength, into the wormhole.

Only then did Victoria begin the initialization of the reactor device, causing the nuclear reactor to melt down.

Then it was just a matter of waiting patiently.

Previously, there had been a player who had ejected his evacuation pod immediately upon entering, only to be smashed to pieces by a [Venomous Widow]’s tail….

Victoria would not make such a mistake.

She and Shinshi only entered the emergency evacuation pod and ejected when the countdown reached 20 seconds.

By this time, the [Venomous Widow] had exhausted all its strength to attack, allowing them to float safely.

As they ascended, Victoria continued her countdown.

When she counted down to the last three seconds, she looked through the transparent hatch at the still azure outer wall of the wormhole, and suddenly felt that something was not right –

“Why haven’t we exited yet?”

“Is the wormhole this long?”

The next moment, the nuclear explosion occurred.

A massive amount of energy was poured into the wormhole, and the structure of the wormhole began to change –

The “exit” that was already within sight disappeared suddenly, as if space had been folded.

Victoria, who was originally rising, felt herself sinking, then drifting horizontally, and the direction of up, down, left, and right began to mess up….

The wormhole began to collapse, and the originally azure outer wall of the wormhole slowly became transparent, and cracked, and shattered.

Images appeared on the shattered outer wall –

Monsters wandered the earth in droves across a landscape devastated by war, with cities reduced to ruins, the earth decayed, the air poisoned, the world of humans was in decay.

Mech after mech stood proudly on the earth, belching smoke from the factory chimneys, continuously producing more mechs.

The human cities were aflame everywhere, monsters and mechs entangled in combat.

And more strange-looking monsters and bizarre mechs.

Even mechanical monsters and flesh-and-blood giants battled fiercely, making it unclear which side were humans and which side was the enemy.

Some of these images echoed the elements of “Pacific Rim”, but others had little to do with the movie:

The center of one image was a rift.

On one side of the rift was Dinosaur Island after the mutation, on the other, a world of ancient dragons and gigantic beasts.

Large hunters in rugged armor moved through mountains and forests, battling these ancient dragons and gigantic beasts.

Another image depicted a city rich with science fiction elements.

But the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, the buildings reeked of a post-industrial age, and the streets were filled with bustling robots and augmented humans.

In the very center of the city, an industrial giant reaching into the sky, grotesquely large, stood ominously in the night.

And there were many, many more…

A muscular giant man whose original appearance was completely corrupted;

A spaceship that suddenly exploded in the universe;

An astronaut walking on a barren, yellow-brown land;

An iron-blooded warrior, severely wounded, battling some unknown enemy;

A mountaineer spreading his arms on the top of a snowy mountain;

A captain brandishing a scimitar and commanding his crew amid towering waves;

A green gnome wielding a lightsaber fighting a robot;

A man in a leather suit, his indicator light on the chest flickering;

A dinosaur, completely black, standing upright, with coral-like dorsal fins;

A planet orbiting a giant gaseous star;

…

And more, much more….

…

The outer wall of the wormhole shattered like glass, and each shard held a changing, shimmering image.

It seemed that each shard led to a separate world.

Each world was within reach, yet vanished in an instant….

Victoria was left speechless by the bizarre spectacle, subconsciously staring wide-eyed, her mouth agape, gazing in astonishment at everything in front of her.
