Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown-Chapter 548 - 541: Not Completely Hopeless

"Lu Ran, what on earth is that!"

"No no no, it’s Qin Wuyao, Qin Wuyao, what did you do!"

"It’s over, it’s over, it must be an alien invasion!"

"Lu Ran, think of something quickly, I know you’re very powerful!"

...

Lu Ran was numb at this point; his strength was indeed great.

But it couldn’t withstand so many monsters!

"I’m not from this world," Lu Ran said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"I told you, I told you, you definitely aren’t human!" Qin Lie said as if he had discovered a new continent.

Lei Tai also looked at Lu Ran with a bewildered expression.

No wonder his strength was so great; it turns out he’s an alien!

Liu Xinxin and Yu Qingcang looked confused, not understanding what they were talking about. Lu Ran wasn’t from this world? And he’s very powerful?

But no matter how powerful, look at these monsters, Lu Ran couldn’t possibly be their opponent!

"Those monsters are also from the same world as me." Lu Ran casually explained.

But this explanation clearly had no use.

It had no comforting effect on the people’s feelings of despair!

But fortunately, at this moment, another unexpected event occurred.

The monsters raining down from the sky like raindrops were all blocked by an inverted defense shield, sliding off to the outskirts of the villa.

Then.

They began to attack the defense shield, as if crazy, desperately trying to break in.

Lu Ran frowned deeply at the same time.

Curious, he looked up.

"Defense shield? How did this thing appear?" Lu Ran muttered.

But fortunately, it was withstanding for the time being.

"It’s a firewall, it’s the firewall I set in the data core, it seems... it seems to have materialized, is this what data materialization is?" Qin Wuyao said with eyes lighting up.

"Firewall?" Lu Ran didn’t care about any firewall, at least for now, the defense shield seemed to be holding up.

But half an hour, that’s a bit dicey!

And just at this moment.

An even more desperate scene unfolded for Lu Ran and the crowd.

As more and more densely packed monsters joined the battlefield, the area surrounding the defense shield became almost impenetrable, with plenty of flying monsters from above attacking the shield.

But besides that.

Dozens of gigantic teleportation arrays were slowly emerging.

Their size was at least hundreds of times larger than the original teleportation arrays!

"Damn it, they’re really restless!" Lu Ran cursed.

Apparently, the original data-driven will wasn’t just using these small monsters to prevent the core data from forming; there were even bigger things being transported over!

"It’s fortunate this world isn’t a data world. Otherwise, these big guys wouldn’t need teleportation arrays; they would just appear out of thin air," Lu Ran muttered.

After all.

In a data-driven world, a data-driven will can do whatever it wants!

So now what?

Lu Ran felt a headache coming.

Even though he couldn’t die, he couldn’t use any skills or abilities because he wasn’t data-driven, rendering him unable to protect the completion of the data core!

"A bigger teleportation array? Lu Ran, is that a bigger teleportation array?"

"Why is it so big!"

"What will appear from inside, Lu Ran?"

"I told you, the data core is something you can’t mess with; this thing is too terrifying!"

...

Lu Ran looked up.

Just at this moment.

Gigantic beings descended from the teleportation arrays, crashing to the ground.

Upon seeing these bizarrely-shaped giants, Lu Ran couldn’t help but sigh.

"Ancient Gods..." he murmured.

Beside him, Liu Xinxin and others heard him clearly.

But they had no idea what Ancient Gods were.

Their worldview had completely collapsed; in just these few short minutes, what they had witnessed was horror beyond even their wildest dreams!

"No, this won’t do, the defense shield can’t hold," Lu Ran said definitively.

No doubt about it; it couldn’t possibly withstand!

Seeing dozens of Ancient Gods surrounding them and launching full-force attacks on the defense shield, which shook the ground and mountains, Lu Ran knew it couldn’t possibly hold!

And this scene.

Made Liu Xinxin and others even more fearful.

It was like being in the Cthulhu World.

Surrounded by countless strange giants, at this moment, they felt utterly insignificant.

Fear of the unknown completely took over their minds.

Lu Ran’s brow furrowed.

If he had data-driven abilities, one soul harvest would be enough to kill all the creatures around him.

But he couldn’t, he was now nothing!

With just his fists, he couldn’t stop these Ancient Gods!

He couldn’t even handle those small monsters!

He turned his head towards the data core.

That thing was still compressing continuously, with new data streams constantly merging into it.

Lu Ran immediately ran over.

If there was any way left, the data core was the only solution.

Moreover.

No matter what, Lu Ran’s ultimate goal was to protect the data core!

As for everything else, even Liu Xinxin and others’ lives, Lu Ran didn’t care, because he couldn’t.

Conversely, if Lu Ran could successfully be re-data-driven, he could easily revive Liu Xinxin and the others.

But unexpectedly. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

There was an unexpected benefit!

As soon as Lu Ran reached the bottom of the data core.

He suddenly saw the data core’s options and prompt.

[You can indeed be data-driven, would you like to become data-driven immediately?]

Oh?

Lu Ran widened his eyes, there was such a thing?

The data core was not yet completed, but it could already start the data conversion.

"Start immediately!" Without a second thought, Lu Ran chose to be data-driven.

[Data conversion is in progress, the progress of data conversion will increase with the completion of the data core.]

Lu Ran was a bit puzzled; he hadn’t figured out what it meant yet.

Suddenly, a familiar object appeared in his hand.

The Sea-stabilizing Trident!

He had successfully been data-driven!

Lu Ran’s eyes lit up, and he subconsciously opened his attributes panel.

But upon looking, Lu Ran was a bit stunned.

On the panel, his level was only level 28!

"What’s going on? Why is it only..." Lu Ran mumbled his question, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly understood.

Because the data core wasn’t completely formed yet, his data conversion progress was also increasing based on the completion progress of the data core.

His level was slowly increasing as well.

Just as this thought popped up, his level had already reached 29.

"I see, this is good enough. Once the complete data core is finished, I can also be data-driven to the peak state." Lu Ran exhaled slowly and said.

This was already pretty good.

At least, he now had the ability to do something.

Thud!

Lu Ran thrust the Sea-stabilizing Trident in front of him, gripping it tightly with both hands.

Murmuring to himself, "I never thought my Undead Calamity would have another chance to erupt, so here it goes!"
