I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1490 - 1056: The End

"Why do this?" A man looked at the swallowing sky pillar spreading out and asked Zheng Yichen with some confusion.

He had seen this swallowing sky pillar in overnight’s research data.

It was a remnant found through the ancient ruins they discovered. Through the technology left by those ancient ruins, they now had the Unity Base and Engine.

The world could also achieve better ’development,’ possessing the potential to grow stronger by acquiring resources from outside, but all of this was gone.

Even this group of outsiders didn’t give them a chance for a comeback, destroying everything they had and still pursuing them to the end.

They hadn’t expected that the parallel space that was supposed to shield them would recombine, ultimately leaving only a few parallel spaces.

Even though those parallel spaces grew larger, the significance of becoming larger was minimal. What they needed was a cover of quantity, not area.

So after the ’Extermination Order’ was issued, some higher-ups chose to make their last stand, while others, harboring a lucky mindset, prepared in all aspects, planning to resist the so-called extermination.

He, however, chose to give up, following the relocated group to this parallel space, actively seeking it out.

And he saw the swallowing sky pillar spreading out.

Immediately, he understood that the ancient ruins they excavated were not unique to this world; other worlds had such things too.

As one of the developers of the Unity Engine, he understood these things, instantly realizing many truths. These outsiders who destroyed everything of theirs, although hateful, perhaps... had reasons to wreak havoc?

Understanding was one thing, but the resentment still lingered.

"See for yourself, it’s too complicated to explain." Zheng Yichen had Lilith project a tablet computer and handed it over to the man beside him.

The man silently took it, seriously browsing through the information on it. After reading, he let out a long sigh: "I see, we were wrong."

He didn’t say where they went wrong.

Devouring faction, Boundary Breaking Faction... the predecessor of their world was the Devouring Faction, and why hadn’t the Devouring Faction suffered such an invasion?

It was evident that they had made some mistakes from the start, resulting in this problem.

If they hadn’t taken the wrong path at the very beginning...

"Looking at it this way, we are quite amazing, aren’t we? The devouring faction only needs one Proxy Agent to deal with; we require so many to solve problems?"

The man put down the tablet, his tone somewhat relieved. To the victor goes the spoils. Although they failed, there’s no need to be overly entangled. At least they weren’t the worst, just incorrect in their initial steps.

If the initial steps were not errors, any devouring faction would be left behind by them.

Great World... hmm, this information isn’t comprehensive, but one can still tell the difference between the Great World and the Devouring Faction. One is a truly great force, the other is akin to an individual operator.

"Indeed, quite formidable. I’ve been to the Great World; the trouble level here is not lower than the Great World. However, your foundation is too weak, and you have too many development projects without true specialization.

The heyday Red Shadow Warrior you can offer, its strength is also due to the Unity Engine. Without the state of unity, such a warrior holds no advantage.

"We know." The man nodded melancholically. During the final battle, they realized this issue. The power the Proxy Agents displayed was overwhelmingly strong and specialized.

Over ten billion Unity Level combat forces, yet they were routed by those curses, War Fortresses, War Fortresses, the mythical creatures they developed, etc.

Useful yet useless. If the attack is strong but misses, it’s still zero output. If the defense is high but lacks comprehensiveness, it can still be worn down to death.

The specialized route of the Proxy Agent, even when facing Unity-level forces, could ensure effective output, only at a greatly reduced efficiency.

"We know too little about the world... unfortunately, there’s no ’if’. I have no regrets now, do it."

He came here seeking answers and to die. Even if he was to die, he wanted to die understanding more.

Now that the doubts were cleared, it was time to go. He didn’t want to be dragged out and killed like a rat, at least now he could die with more clarity.

Knowing the reason for the failure, the path was not wrong, and the developed Unity Engine had enough potential, but their initial choice was the error.

The mistake occurred at the source; even if the subsequent paths were correct, it would inevitably lead to collapse.

"Alright." Zheng Yichen took out the Army Decimating pistol, aimed at the back of the man’s head, and fired.

"BOSS, there are no parallel remnants."

Zheng Yichen nodded, looking into the distance.

After undergoing Unity transformation, this group of higher-ups would generally have no parallel remnants. But to be cautious, the execution of any apprehended local high-level forces had to be conducted at this temporary base.

To maximize the assurance of no subsequent remnants.

This man was among those who understood clearly. He wasn’t the first, but he might be the last.

And those who were hunted out while hiding, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t even glance at them, considering it a waste of time.

For those willing to die clearly, he would meet them personally, send them on their way, he was free anyway.

Besides, sometimes when these people died, they would drop some equipment.

Zheng Yichen picked up the items left on the ground, objects generated by information solidification, similar to a Unity Crystal, though the specific effect was left to Lilith for research.

Two days later, Zheng Yichen arrived at the Dusk Cathedral and had a brief conversation with Tia. Tia told Zheng Yichen that the mission was not yet complete.

Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched slightly, so this Extermination Order was indeed thorough; even the slightest possibility of remnants was not allowed.

Since it wasn’t completed normally, next would be a cleansing at the knowledge level.

Other Proxy Agents can handle this matter. They have deliberately created a knowledge curse, supplemented by Lilith’s review, to ensure that the knowledge of this world is suppressed to a certain extent, completely severing its development potential from the Unity Base.

There are also many relics to be cleared out.

This task is rather troublesome, requiring extensive searches. Fortunately, with Senluo’s presence, utilizing the Power of All Phenomena to communicate with the earth, all hidden bases have been uncovered.

The process of clearing and destroying took a full month, exhausting all the Proxy Agents. Although these tasks were not combat-related, they were particularly energy-consuming.

Luckily, once no substantial enemies remained, subsequent clearing work went very smoothly.

After conducting a comprehensive inspection one last time, Zheng Yichen snapped his fingers at the temporary base that had been used for over a month.

Alien Phenomenon manifestation appeared as the gigantic Zheng Yichen reached out to press down on the falling Unity Base, crushing it into dust with the power of Oblivion.

"It’s over."

Returning to the Dusk Territory, Tia was already there waiting for Zheng Yichen, handing him a small notebook recording the merit points.

A fixed reward of 130 merit points, this is the haul for all the Proxy Agents involved in the battle, slightly higher than the Extermination Order reward Du Gang got involved with.

"So, even if I soloed this world, would I still get this amount of merit points?"

"Yes."

Zheng Yichen was momentarily speechless, then said after a pause, "...It’s pretty great to team up."

A group of Proxy Agents can earn so many merit points. Even if their usage of merit points reached saturation, more merit points could offer them new retention opportunities.

Some Proxy Agents might just be a few merit points short, which could give them a new retention chance.

"Since there are no lingering problems in this world, let’s leave it at that."

Zheng Yichen looked toward the other Proxy Agents, and some exchanged greetings with him before choosing to leave.

A world with no future doesn’t pique their interest, and they don’t even wish to open a storage cabinet here.

"Are you really not interested? No one needs to be responsible."

A female Proxy Agent who follows the life type path looked at Zheng Yichen longingly.

"Not interested, not interested," Zheng Yichen promptly replied, having been pestered considerably by these life type Proxy Agents recently.

Almost slipped up!

What nearly fooled him was not the opposite sex but the same sex; the life type path allows for perfect gender conversion.

Men understand men better.

Zheng Yichen deeply understood this, regarding perfect gender conversion, he expressed... it’s quite simple.

Thus, when facing life type beings, don’t judge by appearance alone; if you want to distinguish gender better, look directly at the soul.

Otherwise, the bodies they craft could be too enticing!

Seeing Zheng Yichen appear somewhat allergic, several life type Proxy Agents couldn’t help but roll their eyes and glare at two other colleagues with low moral standards.

Men trying to steal men is truly horrifying!

"How about leaving a contact method?"

"Well... okay." Zheng Yichen agreed after slight consideration, not because he favored these life type Proxy Agents; they were just like the green dragons at home.

Even more troublesome than the green dragons.

The reason Zheng Yichen wanted to leave a contact method was still due to the Misty City World’s environment.

That place is riddled like a sieve; having more potential strong reinforcements is better. At worst, during future calls for support, he might have to ’sacrifice’ a bit.

With the Essence of Life and Life Furnace as his foundation, it’s safe to say his body is robust.

Moreover, from various aspects, he’s not at a disadvantage; from the life type Proxy Agents’ perspective, they gain a lot too.

They value Zheng Yichen because he has potential in the life type path.

Their path is already powerful, with little room for improvement even with enhancement material.

When weak, enhancement material is useful; when strong, for it to be effective, the material must be even stronger.

Otherwise, most enhancement materials are merely ornamental.

Zheng Yichen can serve as a whole new point of reference, as he can generate new ’materials’ himself.

"That’s great! We’ll exchange storage cabinet access later!"

"We can also!" The life type Proxy Agents who were the same gender as Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but say.

Such a valuable point of reference standing here, who would want to miss out? Who wouldn’t want to advance? They are eager for improvement.

Especially after the Extermination Order task, their accumulated confidence took a hit—not enough to demoralize them—but it provided new insights into the world’s dangers.

They’ve calmed down, realizing that losing out in the Great World is quite normal; the Great World has devoured countless worlds.

But in a world with ordinary size that has developed new technologies, they felt powerless when defeated.
