The original altar.

A flood of data produced by players flashed through Qi Sheng’s mind.

As the strength of the 500,000 players recruited in this round grows rapidly, the output of sacrificial power also increases.

Just recently, two more original monsters were successfully contained.

The first monster was the third generation origin monster: Pofeng, who was taken in by the team led by “Backhand is Two Slaps” in the Senluo Forest area.

This is the first aura-type soul characteristic that has been stored in the soul library so far, which can give a group amplification effects to the players around it.

The characteristic effect is to significantly improve the movement efficiency of all targets within the halo range, regardless of friend or foe.

The improvement in movement efficiency is affected by the soul level and the strength of mental power.

Without the enemy immunity mechanism, the effect of the Wind-Breaking Soul characteristic seems to be very useless.

In fact, it performed well in the test.

It can be used to improve the team’s mobility efficiency when traveling, and can also be used to assist the front row in launching a charge and quickly approaching the opponent in war mode.

Especially when hunting.

Many monsters are intelligent and will choose to flee when they encounter danger. Broken Wind can play a significant role at this time.

The only drawback is that when used during a confrontation, both the enemy and our side will simultaneously improve their movement efficiency.

The Wind-Breaking Soul is more suitable for auxiliary players, and secondly for melee players.

The second monster is the third generation origin monster: Feng Ling, which was taken in by the player “Brother Starnet, please accept my greetings” in the Senluo Forest area.

This is the second sealed soul characteristic in the existing soul library.

The effect is to inject Qi and blood into the target’s body through attack, causing an energy circulation restriction effect. The specific effect is affected by the soul level and the player’s Qi and blood strength.

Suitable for melee players, especially assassin players.

When evaluating in the test space, strategy players discovered that they could use the Soul Sealing feature to interrupt the target’s casting rhythm.

For example, if the opponent wants to release a fireball and is accumulating fire element energy, applying the Soul Sealing feature can instantly interrupt the rhythm of fire element accumulation.

Secondly, when used in close combat, the speed at which the opponent releases qi and blood energy will also be slowed down under the influence of the Sealing Spirit.

This is a soul characteristic that seals the opponent’s ability through characteristic effects, and its strength is very high in actual tests.

The Star Vein combination with the highest number of likes on the forum was released by the player “I Just Love to Play Assassin” and was named: Shadow Kill.

The Star Vein combination is: Sealing Spirit, Dusk, Black Armored Snake, Forbidden Blade, Powerful Axe, Clone, Food of Breath, Star Shift, and Extreme Speed.

The strength of this set of souls can be called the best in this version.

It may seem like the simplest assassin combination, but its actual combat performance is invincible in single combat.

In the battle test video, the strategy party player transformed into an assassin and quickly approached the test target through Twilight Stealth, then turned on the clone mode and summoned six clones to attack the target at the same time.

The Black Armored Snake and Forbidden Blade provide special effects output, and the attacks of the clones also come with the characteristic effects of Poison and Forbidden Blade.

The Mighty Axe increases the damage output.

The soul-sealing feature is ready to be released at any time to cut off the opponent’s means of output.

The most terrifying thing is the combination of extreme speed and star shift.

The assassin player can switch positions with his clone at any time, circling the target like a ghost, making it difficult for the test target to hit the strategy player.

The whole battle ends in a playful manner.

Later, this strategy player set up a ring on the Colorful Mist Coast to try out the actual combat effect.

The result was that they won ten games in a row without losing, and there were several players among their opponents whose average soul level was higher than that of the strategy party.

Facing the strategy players and clones who switched positions, as well as their extremely fast and efficient movement, they were passively beaten the whole time and it was difficult to even touch the corner of their clothes.

In theory, this star vein combination is also applicable on the battlefield.

Sneak to the enemy’s back row and effectively kill fragile enemy units.

Stealth, clones, special effects strikes, teleportation, rapid movement, seals… this combination brings an epic enhancement to the assassin flow in this version.

The assassin style, which was at the bottom of the version, jumped to the first place in the one-on-one list of major styles.

Especially for French players.

The Soul Sealing and Repositioning Assassin can easily kill you by jumping levels, making it difficult for you to launch an effective counterattack.

The only thing that can pose a threat to assassin players is the unpopular branch of the magic school: the domain school.

It uses its domain to indiscriminately bombard the surroundings with elements, but the expansion of the domain can still be easily cut off by the soul-sealing feature. Once it is approached, there is only one way to go, which is death.

It has a mutually restraining one-shot kill relationship with the Fengling Assassin.

If you are approached by the Sealed Spirit Assassin, you will die. If you unleash the Elemental Torrent before he gets close to you, you can kill him instantly.

After this assassin’s Meteor Pulse set came out, it was borrowed and used by a large number of competitive players.

It can be expected that this set of star vein combination will definitely shine in the Ancient God Arena.

If we have to point out the disadvantage of this assassin style of play, it is that the health consumption in battle is too intense.

Even if the opponent cannot touch you the whole time, it is still easy to empty your health bar.

Players need to accurately control the blood recovery speed of the food energy, as well as the frequency of releasing the blood and energy soul characteristics.

The player who posted the guide said that in order to sustain battery life, you can try to slow down the pace of the battle.

The method of using Star Shift + extremely fast output throughout the whole process, with the blessing of level 35 food energy, can only achieve high burst output for 3 minutes.

The emergence of the Sealed Soul also solved a major shortcoming of assassin players, finally making it possible to effectively restrict the target during the assassination process and improve the efficiency of the assassination.

The second most popular Star Vein combination on the forum is the auxiliary flow combination.

Combining the soul-sealing feature with the binding feature can not only restrict the target, but also limit the opponent’s ability to use the energy in the body to counterattack.

The two latest souls taken in are both of the third generation, but the popularity of Feng Ling is far greater than that of Po Feng Halo.

After all, as soon as the Sealing Spirit Soul appeared, it was already the core soul of the school that could bring about earth-shaking changes in the strength of the assassin flow.

The Wind-Breaking Aura is only suitable for use by war teams and has many restrictions, so its appeal to ordinary players is very limited.

As soon as it appeared, it was listed as a sewer level version by forum players.

As for when the Pofeng Soul will rise, it depends on whether there will be a soul that matches it among the new souls to be accepted in the future, so as to combine into a powerful gameplay.

After checking the feedback from the player community on the two newly adopted souls, Qi Sheng’s gaze shifted.

The popularity of a recent post on the forum is rapidly increasing.

[Regarding the production method of special souls, I have sorted out all the information available for reference and interpreted it based on my own understanding. 】

Posted by: Paper Umbrella Man.

Contents:

Recently I found that there are many voices in the forum asking how to obtain special souls.

The main reason is that some players discovered that the president of the top team, the Children’s Group, actually has 500 Darkin warriors that he can command at will.

These dark spawn warriors were also made into life souls, which could be carried to any area.

He is considered the strongest summoner in the current version.

This also reminds me of a joke from ancient times.

If you were given 10,000 extremely loyal warriors, what would you do with them?

Some said they would be sent to work on an assembly line and given 100 yuan each per month, others said they would be asked to study and serve the country, and there were various other interesting jokes.

Let’s get back to the topic.

This soul, named “Dark Legion”, cannot be purchased and inlaid by other players in the soul library. They can only view the characteristic effects of the soul.

Many brothers who like the summoning flow, after comparing with the Darkin Legion, suddenly find that their control of souls is not so good.

The director leads a legion and can continuously increase the number of warriors. This is simply the pinnacle of summoning gameplay.

In the future, the director only needs to follow the star vein route of injury-bearing and group-enhancing to have a super army blessed by the characteristics of the soul.

Therefore, many people are asking how to create a special soul.

The answer to the guidance is rather complicated, so I will explain the specific method to you here.

Take the two existing special souls as reference.

Among the player camp, the first one to create a special soul was the Brothers of Pain (I had not yet obtained the qualifications at that time. Before posting, I read the earlier posts in detail. If there are any mistakes in the expression, please correct me).

The soul they created is: Touch of Pain.

The effect is that through mental connection, the target can feel extreme mental pain.

The output of this soul is not high nowadays.

But the advantage is that it can deal real damage, ignore the target’s armor and physical defense, cause damage directly on the mental level, and interfere with the opponent’s emotions, causing damage + emotional influence effects.

It is considered a relatively powerful half-output and half-control ability.

But for our player system, an Unyielding Soul can effectively restrain it.

It is a soul characteristic that is strong externally but weak internally.

The way it was made was that an old man from the Colorful Mist Coast branded the two brothers. They could not grow through hunting, but they could increase their soul level by feeling pain, and were classified as having pseudo-rule strength.

The second special soul is the Darkin Legion, which has been a hot topic recently.

Comparing the two special souls, the difference in strength is actually quite large.

The Darkin Legion is a high-growth special soul. Before being made into a soul by the director, the Darkin warriors had already accumulated a very good foundation.

Every Darkin warrior has gone through thousands of deaths to increase their talent points, and their talent values ​​are already very high. After resurrection, they only need simple training before they can be used. In my opinion, they have unlimited potential.

There is no need to even bother to build a war system. As long as the hunting level of the Darkin warriors is improved, they will automatically comprehend the innate abilities exchanged for their military exploits in previous lives.

The production method is that the director obtains the fragments of the reincarnation rules in advance, and then makes them into life souls.

It belongs to the established regular strength.

Comparing the two, the Darkin Legion far exceeds Touch of Pain in both potential and current strength.

But the funny thing is that Touch of Pain seems to be able to perfectly restrain the Darkin Legion.

The director has established a spiritual connection with the Darkin Legion and can convey his ideas to the Darkin Legion through a faith connection, similar to a local chat channel.

The strongest point of the Touch of Pain is its conductivity.

Theoretically, when the Brothers of Pain are fighting against the Director, the Brothers of Pain only need to release the Touch of Pain on the Darkin Warriors to kill the Director from a distance (whether this is feasible remains to be verified, this is just my guess based on reasoning).

This system restraint is very interesting.

Even the characteristics of rules can be restrained and methods can be found to target them.

The Touch of Pain can even cause damage to commanding evil spirits through the evil spirits. Its only shortcoming is that its growth potential is too low. Without accumulating enough power of pain, the damage it deals can be easily endured.

The old man who gave the Painful Brothers a special soul also accumulated hundreds of years of pain, which allowed him to kill the evil spirit in the previous Evil Moon scene with one blow.

Therefore, low growth potential is a fatal flaw. Even if ordinary players have it, it is difficult to unleash its power.

The limit of enduring pain to increase the strength of one’s soul is something that no normal person can endure.

After analyzing the specific effects of these two special souls, let’s talk about how to create special souls.

There is only one clear method at this stage.

That is, players gain a pseudo-rule, or rule-based ability, in the process of exploring the monster world.

At this time, the hidden mechanism in the game can be triggered.

You can spend your sacrificial power to seek guidance and help, and turn the pseudo-rules or rule-based abilities in your hand into special souls, which can be embedded in star vein slots for use.

Seeing this, I believe many brothers will feel confused.

What are rules and what are pseudo-rules?

The first is the interpretation of rule-based abilities, which generally have three characteristics.

First, the logic of the system is self-contained and cannot be disturbed by external forces.

For example, Ink Flame, Thunder, and other elemental damages, the damage value only depends on the soul level and the player’s mental strength. The damage and effect are not weakened by any external force. The damage is what it should be, and there is no such thing as attribute restraint.

Each rule has an immutable logic.

This is fundamentally different from other substances in nature.

For example, certain substances can produce reactions at the elemental, chemical, and other levels through fusion.

But it has no regular characteristics and will not react with any substance in nature, forming a self-contained system.

Second, have a carrier.

Each rule has a clear carrier.

The carrier of the soul’s characteristics is the original monster, and the deeper carrier is the rules in the world’s operating framework (which can be understood as the terms of the world’s laws).

Others include the Evil Moon controlled by the Black Tide, which is also the concrete carrier of rules in the monster world.

The reincarnation rules of the Dark Legion also have external carriers that look like magic cube crystals.

Fighting Spirit, Bliss, these types of rules are also similar.

Third, uniqueness.

Each rule ability is unique in the monster world, and there are no two rule abilities that are exactly the same.

At most, the effects will be similar, but the core mechanisms and rule carriers will also be different.

Next, we will introduce pseudo-rules. Compared with rules, they also have three notable characteristics.

First of all, pseudo-rules do not necessarily have real carriers.

The Touch of Pain used by the Brothers of Pain has no concrete carrier, but is an energy imprint that exists on the spiritual level.

The second point is that the effect of pseudo-rule abilities can be interfered with or weakened by external skills, props or environmental factors, and cannot be completely unaffected by the outside world like rules.

Taking damage value as an example, if Mo Yan deals 50 points of damage, then that is 50 points.

When the opponent’s defense is 0, directly cause 50 points of damage.

When the opponent’s defense is 60, the damage cannot be broken and is 0, but the damage is still 50 points.

The Touch of Pain released by the Painful Brothers also has a damage value of 50 points.

The opponent’s mental defense is 0, and the direct damage caused is about 50 points.

If the opponent’s mental defense is 49, the effective damage of this attack may not necessarily be 1, it is most likely 0.

Because the damage calculation of pseudo-rule abilities still contains many unknown variables.

For example, the opponent’s willpower, the damage transmission and sharing mechanism that the opponent may have, etc.

It cannot produce effects directly like rule characteristics, and the damage calculation formula is very complicated.

The third point is that pseudo-rules are replicable.

Seeing this, some brothers may be wondering, can’t the life souls that we players control also be copied?

Wrong, this is not copying, but sharing.

Just like the War Seal of the Nishio Legion, only Nishio has mastered the War Seal, while other warriors have obtained some of the characteristics of his war rules through Nishio’s grant.

But pseudo-rules are different; they are something that can be completely copied.

In fact, the number of Touch of Pain that the Pain Brothers possess is 2, each of them owns one, instead of sharing the soul of Touch of Pain together.

Finally, pseudo-rules have the potential to grow into rules, but it is very difficult to cross this threshold.

The answer from the guidance is that there needs to be a world to carry this power. It can even be understood that rules are the core laws of a world.

Every rule is a clause stripped from the laws of the world.

If you want to create rules, apart from the natural gestation in the process of the birth of the world, you must have the ability to create the world, like the God of Creation, to create a world to carry the power of rules.

The rule-level forces that descend upon the monster world basically strip the rules from the native world and then bring them with them.

The above is the interpretation of the strategy shared this time.

Finally, I would like to mention that, in theory, all brothers have the opportunity to possess special souls. The monster world has infinite possibilities, and there are a large number of rules and pseudo-rules.

Get one and you can make it into a special rule.

But I still want to remind you brothers that the pseudo-rule characteristics are not as strong as the soul of our player system.

The pseudo-rules in the hands of the Brothers of Pain are quite special, and they are superb mechanisms, but their growth potential is too low.

This is a method that my grandfather painstakingly studied for hundreds of years and conceived specifically to curb the black tide.

After obtaining other common pseudo-rules, it is recommended to directly sacrifice the Emperor’s Omen to decompose them in exchange for a wave of wealth.

Unless the pseudo-rule mechanism in your hand is as powerful as Touch of Pain, you can try to cultivate it, or even ask for guidance on how to advance it into a rule-based ability.

This concludes the interpretation of the rules, pseudo-rules, and the creation of special souls.

Welcome everyone to follow me. I am an exploration player. I share interesting exploration stories on my homepage every day, and occasionally add background information and hidden mechanism settings in the game.

…After reading the post about making a special soul, Qi Sheng was about to look through the players’ comments, but at this moment he received a sudden prompt of guidance.

He immediately switched his perspective to the real world.

Eclipse City, Security Center.

drop!
After the test is passed, the green light on the side wall of the room lights up.

The heavy metal gate retracted into the wall, and Archon No. 2 walked through the gate.

Entering the security center room, it feels like being at the center of the universe.

The room has a huge round dome inlaid with countless glittering energy crystals, like stars in the night sky, casting soft and changing light to every corner of the room.

In the central area of ​​the room, a holographic earth image model with a diameter of tens of meters is suspended, emitting a faint blue light and rotating slowly.

On the surface of the model, countless fine lines shuttle back and forth like electric arcs.

This is real-time monitoring data information of global energy fluctuations.

The thickness and color changes of each line represent the energy intensity feedback in different regions.

Surrounding the holographic model of the earth is a blue and white control console with no traditional buttons on it, only flashing light balls and constantly changing graphics.

This system was jointly created by the Eclipse Clan and various clans on Earth.

Monitoring stations are set up in various regions on the earth to monitor the energy feedback fluctuations on the earth in real time.

The core function is to observe whether there are any sudden arrivals of alien races.

If unusual energy fluctuations are detected, the security center will sound an alarm and the warning will be passed on to the Eclipse Clan’s rotating archon to determine whether to enter a state of war.

After all, whether the descending forces are friendly or not is a completely unknown force.

The Earth Alliance has experienced many advent wars, and this is a necessary precaution.

Of course, in addition to the invading forces, many new forces have also merged into the Earth Alliance and become part of this big family.

Archon No. 2 came to the control panel and waved his hand gently to interact with the suspended ball of light.

Suddenly, the walls of the security center flickered, and several huge display screens appeared.

Synchronously display high-definition real-time images from various monitoring points around the world.

At the edge of each picture, a long list of complex energy parameters scrolls.

These parameters are updated within milliseconds, ensuring that the security center is always aware of every subtle energy change on the earth.

At this time, a buzzing sound was heard.

Computer clusters are running at full capacity in the background, analyzing and comparing massive amounts of energy data.

The holographic image model of the earth was also enlarged at this time.

The earth in the image is covered by countless fine grids, each of which flashes a different data stream.

Atmospheric pressure, geomagnetic intensity, radiation level… all the information gathers here, like an invisible net, covering the entire earth.

The real-time images on the wall kept jumping as Archon No. 2 waved his hands.

From the peak of Mount Everest to the depths of the Mariana Trench, from the Sahara Desert to the Amazon rainforest, polar glaciers, equatorial rainforests, deep-sea hydrothermal vents…even magma activities deep in the earth’s crust cannot escape the monitoring of the security center.

Every monitoring node on the earth is collecting data all the time.

Energy fluctuations, temperature changes, biological activities, all information is transmitted here in real time, forming an energy map covering the entire world.

Suddenly, a blinding red light appeared somewhere on the holographic earth.

The voice of the smart assistant echoed in the safe room:

“Abnormal energy fluctuations detected, coordinates: 63°29′ north latitude, 78°30′ west longitude, energy level: 12.7.”

As the sound fell, the holographic earth quickly zoomed in, clearly showing the target area.

The picture shows a twisting and shaking space crack above the North Pole.

The eyes are focused and relevant information is presented.

[Black Tide Rift (confidential – not disclosed)]:
Situation analysis: It is gradually expanding. Judgment of the time node for generating the space channel: It is impossible to obtain more space crack information and cannot be judged.

It has been nearly a year since this space rift appeared.

There is no sign of the Kuroshio invading yet.

But the existence of this space rift is like a thorn in one’s throat.

Just like a signal mark before an invasion, the terrifying black tide may descend on Earth at any time through the space tunnel generated by the expansion of this rift.

By then, the Earth will face unprecedented challenges.

“I want the energy fluctuation data of the Black Tide Rift Space for the past month.”

Upon hearing the instructions from Archon No. 2, the Security Center’s intelligent computer automatically retrieved the relevant content, and then presented it in a table on a light screen.

“Presented in a curve.”

The listed data suddenly turned into a curve chart.

It can be clearly seen that the expansion of the Kuroshio rift is generally on an upward trend, and the process has wave-like ups and downs.

However, it is impossible to predict the time when the Kuroshio will arrive based solely on the trend of the curve.

Governor No. 2 selected six time points with large fluctuations from the curve trend chart for comparison, but finally gave up.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the data light curtain in front of him dissipated like water waves.

Archon No. 2 turned his attention back to the holographic image of the Earth floating in the air.

He scanned the monitoring nodes in various regions and checked the energy fluctuation data of each region one by one.

Just an hour ago, he received feedback from the security center that abnormal energy fluctuations were detected on the earth.

But there is no clear marking point for the abnormal energy fluctuations.

So I came here specially this time to check it out, intending to try to find out which area the abnormal energy fluctuations came from through the live monitoring footage.

Reach out a little.

The holographic earth image is enlarged again.

In East Asia, a dense area of ​​light spots flashes steady blue light.

This is one of the core areas of the world’s basic industries, and energy fluctuations show regular peaks.

Zooming in on the area, the roar of factory machinery, the city’s electricity consumption, the operation of transportation networks… all activities are converted into data streams and imported into the space station’s database.

The live images move quickly via satellite, and every time an area is scanned, the node monitoring in that area will also provide data.

Jumping to the vast plains of central North America, energy fluctuations show another pattern.

This is the intersection of agriculture and resource development. Huge wind turbines rotate slowly on the grassland, and the energy readings fluctuate with the wind speed.

After comparing the data, no abnormalities were found and the scene jumped to the African continent again.

On the edge of the Sahara Desert, the newest crystal power station built by the Breaking Clan has been put into use.

Energy fluctuations have been on an upward trend recently.

The live footage was enlarged, and the tens of thousands of energy crystal plates in the holographic image looked like a silver ocean.

Comparing the data with the images, there was nothing abnormal, and the holographic image jumped to the depths of the Amazon rainforest in South America.

The energy fluctuations here are unusually calm, except that there are a few more energy activity nodes compared to the initial stage.

These are the three ethnic groups that joined the Earth Alliance ten years ago and are building a small city here.

The energy readings at the edge of the forest are slowly climbing every year, and the signs of the three tribes gradually invading the rainforest are clearly visible.

The roar of logging machinery, the construction of new roads, the expansion of cities, all activities can be clearly observed by comparing energy fluctuations.

Through holographic images of the earth, we can monitor and obtain data at any time on which ethnic group is developing secret weapons.

Unless the process of creating this weapon does not produce any energy fluctuations.

After jumping to several areas in succession, there was no problem with the images and data information displayed in the monitoring.

But since the security center gave a prompt, it proves that there must be abnormal energy fluctuations.

The so-called abnormal energy fluctuations refer to unknown energy beyond the monitoring range.

The city’s electricity consumption, the factory’s mechanical operation, the natural wind, rain, thunder and lightning, all energy fluctuations fluctuate within the expected range… Even if there is a trend of gradual amplification, as long as the trend is stable, it cannot be judged as an abnormal fluctuation.

Just like a typhoon, it will show dramatic energy fluctuation data.

But the formation of a typhoon must have a clear trend.

Even if the final form is a super typhoon of level 16 or above, it will start as a tropical depression and gradually increase its intensity level before the super typhoon is formed.

As long as the security center detects energy fluctuations in the initial stage, it will automatically deduce and simulate the subsequent intensity.

Real-time monitoring of the typhoon’s strengthening trend shows that even if it eventually forms a Category 18 typhoon, it is not considered an abnormal energy fluctuation.

The same is true for earthquakes, whose intensity increase trends can also be detected by the security center.

What can be called abnormal energy fluctuations must be unknown energy bursts that appear suddenly and have no determinable trend.

This abnormal energy fluctuation is most likely not coming from the Earth. It is most likely a sign of opening up a space tunnel before the arrival of aliens.

After careful inspection, Archon No. 2 was still unable to find the reason and continued.

The abnormal fluctuation in capacity that occurred this time was the result of a synchronous response from all nodes, and the specific coordinate position could not be determined.

But as long as it is a cross-space tunnel, there must be a core coordinate node.

What Archon No. 2 is looking for is this possible coordinate node.

After several hours of searching without any results, Archon No. 2 continued to search with full concentration.

The arrival of aliens is no small matter, and a war sweeping the world may break out at any time.

Only by understanding in advance can you be adequately prepared.

23 hours later, Archon No. 2 began to compare detailed images of local areas with the help of the intelligent assistant.

At this moment, the intelligent brain assistant gave a prompt:
“Abnormal energy fluctuations were detected at 45.6 degrees west longitude and 32.8 degrees north latitude, which are similar to the abnormal fluctuations detected last time.”

Archon No. 2 raised his right hand, and the image of the earth in front of him quickly rotated to a frozen back, then enlarged.

It presents real-time images over the Atlantic Ocean.

The energy fluctuations appeared a strange dark red, like a wound tearing through the calmly rotating blue.

Archon No. 2 looked solemn. He tapped his fingers in the air to bring up the data analysis panel.

Energy readings are rising and have already exceeded safety thresholds.

This is obviously not an ordinary natural disaster, nor is it any known energy weapon.

“Level three alert, call up all nearby satellite surveillance.” The voice of Archon No. 2 echoed in the empty security center.

The images on the surrounding walls suddenly jumped, and hundreds of holographic screens unfolded at the same time, dyeing the entire space a dark blue.

Each screen displays a different data stream: atmospheric composition, geomagnetic intensity, gravitational field changes, and so on.

In the central picture, a twisted space crack is moving slowly.

Archon No. 2 acted decisively and connected to the Earth Joint Command site closest to the rift.

On the pop-up light screen, there appeared a figure of a member of the Eclipse Clan who was on duty at the Earth Command Center.

Commander No. 2 gave him the order without any further ado:
“Dispatch three unmanned observation aircraft to the coordinates 3 degrees west longitude and 45.6 degrees north latitude to conduct real-time monitoring and prepare to contact any tribes that may descend.”

“Understood.” The staff on duty at the command center in the picture nodded immediately.

A few seconds later, three unmanned observation aircraft took off from the weapon platform near the coordinate point and approached the coordinate location.

The observation aircraft entered standby cruise mode one hour later and flew around the fissure.

But during the waiting process, the aliens did not arrive, and the space rift remained in its original state without any fluctuations.

As time passed, Archon No. 2 remained at the security center.

After 5 hours, there was still no change in the space rift.

This is different from the previous alien invasions, but is somewhat similar to the Black Tide. This rift is more like a spatial coordinate.

The alien forces on the other side don’t seem to have any intention of descending on Earth.

At this moment, below the rift, he had already started the initial war deployment.

Deep under the sea just below the coordinate point, a huge deep-sea fortress quietly arrived.

The core area of ​​the base lit up, and the energy core entered a combat readiness state. The energy fluctuations released pulsated regularly like a heartbeat, gradually increasing in strength.

As energy was injected, the outer shell of the base vibrated, and the bionic scales covering the surface stood up one by one, revealing the energy patterns flowing underneath, which spread like blood vessels and transported energy to every corner of the base.

The weapon array system is activated.

At the top of the base, several huge mechanical tentacles popped out, each of which was hundreds of meters long and danced in the darkness like the tentacles of a deep-sea monster.

The tip of the tentacle is a high-energy cutter that can easily tear apart any obstacle. The surface is also covered with micro sensors that collect information and feed it back to Eclipse City.

The belly of the base then opened up, and tens of thousands of underwater drones swarmed out like a school of fish.

Their appearance imitates that of deep-sea fish, and their streamlined bodies swim flexibly in the water without making any sound.

The drone’s eyes are high-definition cameras that can capture every detail of the surroundings, and it is equipped with sonic weapons and missiles on its back.

As the weapons base was fully activated, a translucent energy barrier rose from the top of the base and quickly spread to the surroundings.

The barrier is like a huge bubble, completely covering the base and the surrounding weapons systems.

Around the base, hundreds of plasma turrets rose from the seabed.

The turret is shaped like a spire, with blue arcs flashing on the top.

After the turret is activated, the electric arcs quickly condense into energy balls, ready to fire at any time.

At the bottom of the base, dozens of vertical launch silos were quietly opened and entered war mode.

On the sea surface where the coordinate point is located, several floating platforms rise from underwater, and the huge energy focuser in the center enters the startup state.

In a higher orbit, several space-based weapon satellites simultaneously entered the third-level alert, and the launch restrictions on the rail guns and energy beam launchers they carried were lifted, allowing them to carry out precise strikes on space rifts above the sea surface at any time from space.

Everything has been deployed and Archon No. 2 continues to wait patiently.

If there are no problems with the initial contact, he will try to recruit the newly arrived tribe into the Earth Alliance.

But if this descending force comes with a war attitude of destruction or plunder, he will judge whether to enter war mode or total war mode based on the combat power of the descending invading tribe.

While waiting, another 27 hours passed.

The twisted lines above the sea quietly opened up a gap, like a wound in space cut by an invisible blade.

A thick purple mist gushed out of the crack, like a poisonous miasma, and countless tiny creatures could be vaguely seen swimming inside.

When the image is enlarged, it can be found that these tiny life forms resemble jellyfish, emit faint fluorescence, and their bodies are made of translucent gelatin.

After entering the earth, the tiny life quickly spread and formed a huge life network with tentacles connected to each other, releasing a sticky luminous substance at the ends.

The substance solidifies rapidly in the air, forming strong bio-fibers.

As the number of interconnected nodes increases, the fibers interweave into complex living structures, and each node releases energy to maintain the architecture of the living network.

Archon No. 2 is watching the changes progress through surveillance.

There has been no communication yet, and the use of any weapons is not considered for the time being.

The biological network in the picture is still expanding, and the feedback fluctuations of information transmission between nodes are also growing exponentially.

At this time, the tiny lives in the life network show different growth tendencies.

Part of the colloid hardens to form a skeleton that supports the body, while the other part elongates and deforms to develop into motor organs… The colloid gradually differentiates into different functional organs and life structures.

It’s like 3D modeling in the real world.

Each small jellyfish is a basic module, and through piecemeal combination, they form a huge floating life form with a body length of more than 100 meters.

The energy fluctuation data dissipated in living bodies is also displayed in real time on the light screen of the security center.

The chip embedded in the back of Archon No. 2’s neck flickered faintly, and after receiving the command, a robot with the appearance of an Eclipse Clan rose from the sea platform and approached the giant floating life.

The translation matrix on the robot’s chest was operating, preparing to establish a mental link with the descending forces and start initial communication.

At this moment, the compound eyes of the floating monster suddenly burst into a dazzling red light.

The huge body shook violently, and the fluorescent patterns on its surface flashed rapidly, lighting up from the tail to the head one section at a time as if it was charging.

The intelligent brain assistant immediately issued a warning:

“Warning! Hostile signal detected!”

The next second, the back of the floating monster shrank violently, and tiny holes suddenly appeared on the surface, from which dense crystals ejected.

The picture zoomed in, and the surface of the sharp crystals was covered with fluorescent mucus, which flew towards the robot automatically.

Archon No. 2 thought for a moment, and the robot urgently activated the energy barrier.

But the crystal suddenly burst the moment it approached, and the robot’s silver-white shell was instantly covered with fluorescent substances. These substances quickly penetrated, and the chip on the back of the Archon’s neck suddenly flashed wildly.

The robot in the picture was corroded and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into metal wreckage that fell from the air into the water.

Archon No. 2 did not even hesitate at all and spoke decisively in a deep voice:

“Notify all races in the Earth Alliance to enter a state of war.”

At this time, all races on Earth who had already received the notice began to take action.

The city defense systems were activated one after another, and city after city was shrouded in energy curtains.

Although it was only a floating life form that arrived, cities of all ethnic groups had prepared in advance to withstand a devastating blow.
