I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1757 - 1231: Why Are You Even More Eager?
"Hoo~ The consumption is more terrifying than I imagined." Zheng Yichen sighed, collecting some wreckage into the built-in space. Lilith would continue to analyze these things.
During the battle, his willpower interference forcibly preserved the Will of the World integrated into the Terminal Mech, and now there were fragments of the Will of the World within this wreckage of the Terminal Mech.
However, the World’s Will of the Great World is too vast; these fragments won’t significantly impact the World’s Will, at most, they’ll peel off a few flakes.
Using the World’s Will to counteract the consumption of Oblivion, this operation was the first Zheng Yichen had seen, and only with this kind of power did he realize the severe damage Oblivion inflicts on its user.
But with the enormous volume of the Great World’s Will, when Zheng Yichen used Oblivion himself, it was like a percentage-based health deduction.
However, as his adaptability increased, the original percentage true damage became fixed damage with substantial penetration.
Yet the damage he sustained was trivial fixed damage for the Great World, even true fixed damage was negligible.
Zheng Yichen used Oblivion fully, while only a small part of the Will of the World was subjected to such stringent conditions, making Zheng Yichen’s efforts futile, not to mention merely peeling off the World’s Will inside the Terminal Mech.
The loss from this peeling was probably less than one-tenth of the World’s Will consumed by the Terminal Mech in battle using the Oblivion force.
However, these seemingly insignificant fragments of the World’s Will are crucial to Lilith. She aims to further analyze the World’s Will of the Great World, then better obtain environmental intelligence, potentially affecting the World’s Will’s Blessing. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"BOSS, when you use Oblivion, you can block the Firmament Wheel’s support; if the Firmament Wheel is in an external state, consumption is expected to reduce by 20%."
"Not too much." Zheng Yichen nodded; Fake Time Technology is achieved through the technology within the Firmament Wheel, and Lilith has already analyzed the technology in the City of Machines.
And the power of this technology can synchronize with his Transformation God Core, allowing Zheng Yichen to use it through the core.
Maintaining such power consumption is extremely terrifying; Zheng Yichen merely delayed the self-destruct time of the Terminal Mech by less than 0.05 seconds, which consumed nearly half of his Essence of Life.
However, his recovery efficiency in terms of Essence of Life is now very high; whether it’s the Undying Life Flame or the Life Furnace, both can quickly restore his Essence of Life.
The consumption is terrifying, but the result is quite good; with his combat efficiency, this short duration allows him to accomplish many things.
"Is time almost up?" Zheng Yichen looked at the sky with rosy clouds in the distance, such skylines are not common in the Great World.
When Zheng Yichen touched the Great World’s earth and sensed it using the Power of Keeping Balance, he could feel the agitation of the Great World. Although this agitation was subtle, Disequilibrium had begun to influence the Great World through the World’s Will.
This indicates that the issues with the World’s Will are getting more severe.
"Hmm... the Curse has also been diluted to a very weak extent; although difficult to eliminate, diluted to this degree it can be ignored." The maintenance department engineer was as busy as ever.
Zheng Yichen’s battle had ended, and they weren’t much concerned with battles elsewhere, mainly because seeing them often made them less interesting.
Battles elsewhere were mostly one-sided; the new Masters have now become a high-risk occupation for the Boundary Breaking Organization.
For the domain masters who want to advance further, they must first survive battles with the Proxy Agents. If they survive once, they can advance; if killed, they’re just cannon fodder for prolonged attrition warfare.
Despite this, many Boundary Breakers still aspire to become domain masters, and during this process, many buried talents emerged.
They had no remarkable talents in their normal state, but after acquiring the domain master’s rank, they displayed extraordinary talents.
The domain master’s rank compensated for their shortcomings, placing them directly on the starting line with geniuses, easily showcasing any talents they possess.
The Proxy Agents now consider the battles with these new Masters as their training exercises.
Those new Masters who survive under high pressure are elite; surviving three to five engagements isn’t merely luck. These domain masters can dine with veteran domain masters among the top two hundred.
Once the numbers of these domain masters increase, then the Proxy Agents... well, if not for Zheng Yichen, a special Proxy Agent, they would already be hunting Proxy Agents listed in the Extermination Order.
The problem is Zheng Yichen’s existence, which prolongs the battle lines. Zheng Yichen has a way of twisting space directly for movement, and other Proxy Agents can serve as suitable coordinates.
This means that once encirclement begins, Zheng Yichen can instantly drop into the siege area for a killing spree.
So at this stage, the primary focus is still on Zheng Yichen; combat with other Proxy Agents serves mainly for delaying time and training.
"But how to solve the issue with the unstable World’s Will? Optimize the Heavenly Path System? Is that something that can be optimized??" Another engineer tapped his head, feeling something was mere lip service from above.
Those people have no understanding of technology... Or maybe they did in the past, but they haven’t learned new technologies for a long time!
The current relation between the Heavenly Path System and the World’s Will varies daily; the Heavenly Path System can operate the World’s Will, but to optimize the Heavenly Path System to stabilize the World’s Will directly, it could be attempted if the World’s Will maintained its current growth state.
But with the World’s Will changing every day, growing at an inflationary speed, how can they optimize it?
The unstable problems caused by the rapid growth of the World’s Will alone are overwhelming them.
What’s more, the Heavenly Path System just stabilized, and the higher-ups can’t wait to start analyzing the Oblivion force again. Once this analysis process stops, many ongoing projects will also come to a halt.
No matter how likely it is to eliminate those Proxy Agents, faced with the Extermination Order, the top members of the Boundary Breaking Organization dare not be careless, especially since a freak has emerged among them.
"And those unstable error messages, solve one and two more pop up. I even suspect that the World’s Will has already started to collapse; it’s just that the enhanced speed now is suppressing the effects of that collapse."
"Don’t talk nonsense." Another engineer interrupted his colleague. Such speculation was too dangerous. He glanced at the operating Heavenly Path System: "At least the detection by the Heavenly Path System is free of problems."
"Can we still trust this thing?" The engineer, who suspected problems with the World’s Will, sighed.
No more was said. The speed at which the World’s Will was growing was too fast. Only the Heavenly Path System, growing in tandem, could oversee everything. Without the Heavenly Path System, their use of the World’s Will wouldn’t be so flexible.
After all, the Heavenly Path System maintains a symbiotic state with the nascent World’s Will.
As the World’s Will grows, the Heavenly Path System likewise grows. This symbiotic growth design ensures the World’s Will never escapes the control of the Heavenly Path System.
In their design, the Heavenly Path System should be the least likely to encounter problems. The World’s Will itself is an extremely unique super hardware, capable of suppressing any problematic factors.
Yet, the World’s Will cannot suppress the impact of the Oblivion force. It can only offset the influence of the Oblivion force through self-sacrifice.
The consumption of the Oblivion force can’t keep up with the growth rate of the World’s Will, unless the analyzed Oblivion force is like a virus, covering the entire World’s Will.
"Designing a replacement will have to wait until after the victory." Another engineer felt somewhat helpless. Out of caution and safety, he didn’t support utilizing the Heavenly Path System in this way for now.
Strictly speaking, they are just ’programmers,’ not those crazy researchers studying this and that.
When encountering any instability, those lunatics don’t first think of fear but of damn, finally there’s some surprise, and hastily fiddle to see what can change.
Programmers like them least want to see error messages, unstable program operations, etc. Even with their special status now, this mindset hasn’t changed.
Even if the Heavenly Path System is repaired, in the eyes of some of them, it still seems unreliable, yet halting it would have a greater impact on them.
Only after resolving the Extermination Order and wiping out all those Proxy Agents could they start developing a substitute.
"Continue maintenance and troubleshooting."
"This is all we can do." The worried engineer grew more sorrowful. The efficiency of their troubleshooting was too low.
The main force in troubleshooting problems is still the Heavenly Path System. After finding error information from deviated trajectories, they will correct it to ensure the stable operation of the Heavenly Path System.
As for the World’s Will, forget it for now. Just keep an eye on the Heavenly Path System, and let others watch over the World’s Will.
"Boss, if the imbalance of the World’s Will affects the Great World, I’m concerned about your safety." Lilith spoke in a very solemn tone.
"We’ve come this far, it’s meaningless to say these things. Besides, the Boundary Breaking Organization has already destroyed the World’s Will once, why can’t I do it again? Even if it affects the Great World, at worst, I’ll work here as a maintenance worker, and that could count as retirement."
"... that’s good." Lilith didn’t bring up the matter again. Zheng Yichen working as a maintenance worker in the Great World was indeed a good outcome, even if this maintenance job might take tens of thousands of years or even longer.
As long as there is no Boundary Breaking Organization, she can accompany Zheng Yichen throughout those years unchangingly.
Withdrew the hand pressed on the ground, since imbalance has already influenced the Great World along with the World’s Will, it indicates that the imbalance has accumulated to a certain extent.
Imbalance doesn’t compare with Oblivion, but its influence is global.
"Lilith, when that Terminal Mech appears next time, what do you think about letting it analyze the Oblivion environment under imbalance?"
"... I don’t agree." Lilith immediately expressed her opinion. What Oblivion environment? From the sound of it, Zheng Yichen planned to conduct dangerous operations again.
"Then let’s wait and see. Next time the Terminal Mech appears, if you can influence the World’s Will to a certain extent, I’ll continue the usual battle."
"Understood." After finishing, Lilith fell silent.
"Aha~" Chiang Wei yawned and rubbed her eyes, resting her chin in her hand somewhat reluctantly, her eyes blankly staring at the light screen in front of her.
Glancing from the corner of her eye at a silhouette, she suddenly shivered: "Again, what is it this time?"
"The analysis of the World’s Will needs to speed up."
Ah? Chiang Wei ruffled her hair, a little frantic: "It’s fundamentally not about speeding up! Behind the World’s Will in this world is a system more formidable than you!
That system’s firewall we can’t even breach, let alone influence the World’s Will. How is it that you, an AI, are more anxious than me??"
