Chapter 568: Amazing Battleship
When Mu You opened his eyes again, he had already exited the pure white space.
At this moment, he was still floating in front of the light ball, and countless comet-like spheres were still rotating around the light ball.
Looking at the light ball in front of him, he did not go forward to do useless work. Next, he went back to find the administrator and told them about the existence of Ava and the Garden of Eden.
Unfortunately, even if they knew this, the administrators still had no way to deal with it. They didn't know as much as Mu You in this regard.
Kent, the founder of the mecha skin, did not follow the army of fools to the sky at the beginning. After that, Kent was killed by the goblins before the fools returned, so several people didn't even know Kent's existence, let alone know the secrets of the Garden of Eden.
Half an hour later, Mu You's consciousness returned to his body.
Opening his eyes in the pet shop, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't find a solution to the problem this time, at least he confirmed who the enemy was.
A possessed artificial intelligence, Ava.
Since it is impossible to break through the other party's blockade at the level of consciousness, we can only think of a way from reality.
No matter how illusory the existence of artificial intelligence is, it always needs a carrier, so the dumbest and most direct way is to directly break into the territory of the robot. As long as the nest of artificial consciousness can be taken down, the problem will naturally be solved.
Mu You looked at the forum again.
The players in the forum are still the same, joking and talking, and very few people realize the seriousness of the problem.
Mu You switched back to the city lord group.
In the city lord group, the direction of the discussion finally became more serious. After being offline for so long and not being able to recover, some people have vaguely realized something and began to worry whether there is a problem that is difficult to solve.
" x-on:Ghost Captain. Does the master have any inside information?" Solomon asked Mu You.
Several people vaguely knew that Mu You could contact the administrator behind the game, and guessed that he might know something.
Mu You did not hide it and told the current situation in the group.
"Robots...underground world...Oh my god..."
"Humanity is ruled by AI, has this day finally come..."
"I just didn't expect it to happen in the magic world first..."
...
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. They really didn't expect that there was a hidden world in the center of the earth, and it was ruled by robots...
"It's not all bad. At least it means that we are not alone. There are still people who are trying to save this endangered world like us...but the direction of their efforts is a little off..." Holmes said something that seemed to comfort them.
Everyone had similar feelings about this. Before this, they were the only awakened race in the Star Spirit Realm, and they had been fighting alone for the future. Even if other races knew the whole story of the Great Disaster, they didn't intend to help them.
Although the fools never expected help from others, it inevitably made them feel a sense of injustice, as if the whole world was lying down, waiting to enjoy their achievements, and they were the only ones working hard.
And now, there is finally another race that is also trying to save the world, and they were born and acted earlier than them, which made everyone feel a lot more balanced.
The only pity is that this newly emerged race, which should have been a colleague, is not on the same front as them.
"This is more than just a deviation..." Jiuyou left a message: "Now the direction of our efforts and the robots is diametrically opposed. Under the current situation, both of us have become stumbling blocks to each other. Only by solving each other first can we continue to walk our own paths..."
Jiuyou's words made everyone silent. It should have been a good thing that a race with a common goal with them appeared. They could finally have a helper, but it turned out to be such a situation of no end. This is too fate...
"Fuck!" When everyone was silent, Bluebeard suddenly burst into a swear word in the group.
"What's wrong?" Jiuyou asked.
"Sunset City was just raided by robots!" Bluebeard said.
"Didn't they all disconnect? How did you know?"
"Our guild just happened to have a 'door' open today. Two teams under my command were leveling up on the other side as usual. As a result, they were suddenly attacked by robots just now... These robots are quite powerful. Some people were killed in seconds when they met, and they hurried back to inform me..."
Mu You was moved when he saw the news: "How many robots are coming from the other side? What model are they?"
He had to first determine what kind of robot it was. If it was the kind of robot that could not be resurrected in the Garden of Eden, it would be fine. If it was the exterminator that he and the herbalist encountered, the problem would be serious...
"It's not clear yet. Wait a minute, I'll go over and take a look..." Bluebeard said this and then there was no news. He should have gone to the Star Spirit Realm.
"Are these robots so impatient? Just after confirming that we are enemies, they acted so decisively?" Solomon frowned and said.
"I'm afraid they are not impatient, but have planned it in advance..."
Jiuyou said solemnly: "Blocking our game is just the first step, attacking Sky City is their real back-up plan... Don't forget, Sky City seems to be guarded by hundreds of millions of players, but the players are almost all on Earth, and the other side is all game characters. Once the line is disconnected, the defense force of the opposite Sky City instantly drops to the lowest point, which can be almost ignored. It is a great opportunity for foreign races to attack Sky City!"
"That makes sense..."
"Wait, then in this case, aren't other sky cities also in danger?" Solomon was shocked.
"I'm afraid so..."
The two hadn't finished talking.
They saw Saint Light Nana send a crying expression.
"Twilight City has also been invaded?" Solomon asked.
"I just received a message from Twilight City players, saying that ten minutes ago, Twilight City, which had been staying in the territory of the Fatima Empire, suddenly moved, flew away from the border of the empire, and flew eastward. The deputy city lord and I did not give Twilight City any orders to move before we were offline..." Saint Light Nana said.
"This..."
Everyone took a breath when they saw the news.
Combined with what Bluebeard had just encountered, it was obvious that Twilight City had also encountered a similar robot attack, and it seemed that it was not just a surprise attack, but even directly occupied the sky and seized the control of Sky City.
Mu You sighed when he saw this situation, and it was confirmed that it must be the robots in the abyss that were dispatched.
The Farmar Empire is very close to the abyss, and the Twilight City anchored there should be the closest one to the abyss among all the sky cities.
The next is Bluebeard's Sunset City. The raid on Twilight City may have started before Sunset City, but Bluebeard has sufficient manpower and is more informed.
Just when everyone was discussing, Bluebeard came online again and brought bad news as soon as he entered the group chat.
"Fuck, these robots are too fucking perverted! They can't be killed no matter how hard they are killed?"
"Can't be killed? What do you mean?" Everyone was a little stunned when they saw Bluebeard's news.
"It means literally. I went over and opened the god skin directly, and punched one by one, but these ghosts can always be resurrected quickly no matter how many times they are killed..." Bluebeard cursed.
"Uh..."
Everyone was still a little confused.
But Mu You understood it at the first time: the robot that launched the attack was definitely the Exterminator!
"How many robots are here?" Mu You asked hurriedly.
"Ninety-nine... Strangely enough, the number of robots is exactly equal to the number of people on the opposite side."
Ninety-nine...
This number made Mu You frown. Before, he and the herbalist were unable to resist the two exterminators and had to use the seal of the shadow ball.
And now nearly a hundred exterminators have appeared at once. I'm afraid that even the shadow can't fit in...
"What's the situation now? Did you win? Why did you come back?" Hellboy asked.
"Hey, don't mention it. These guys are not something that normal players can deal with. In addition, my god skin happened to be used before, and the attributes have not been restored. I lost my state after fighting for a while."
"What about Sunset City? It won't be occupied too, right?" Hellboy asked.
"Not yet. Fortunately, I went there in time and my authority was not affected. After I arrived, I immediately ordered Sunset City to retreat. Now my people are defending the city and retreating while fighting. I came back to report the information first. By the way, I also want to hear your opinions. How to defend in this situation?" Bluebeard asked.
Everyone understood what he meant. Although there were only dozens of robots, they were indestructible, which meant that they could continue to siege Sunset City.
In this regard, it was impossible for players to outlast the machines. Physical strength was only one aspect of the problem. More importantly, it was the limitation of the gate. Every day a player stayed in the Star Spirit Realm, he was burning his life. It was okay to defend for two or three days, but no one could afford to burn it for a longer time.
"What are these robots trying to do by robbing our city so desperately?" Solomon asked puzzledly.
"No matter what they want to do, we are now clear enemies with the robots, so it's always right to hinder their actions."
Mu You spoke in the group at this time: "These robots crawled out of the Great Abyss. Since Twilight City and Sunset City were attacked, it is very likely that the eleven sky cities are their targets of attack. If left alone, the other sky cities will most likely suffer... What I mean is that all city lords should immediately take the available manpower to the Star Spirit Realm and control the sky cities to retreat away from the abyss. In any case, make sure that their cities are not occupied by robots."
"That's right."
"Then take action..."
"There is no time to lose..."
...
Everyone also agreed with Mu You's proposal and prepared to act.
But at this moment, the emperor who had not appeared before suddenly left a message.
"Wait, I have a new message here. Before leaving, you'd better take a look."
"What message?" someone asked.
The emperor did not explain, but directly released a video file of several dozen seconds in the group.
Everyone clicked to view it.
This video seems to be a video recorded by a crystal, and then filmed with a mobile phone, so the picture is relatively blurry.
In the picture, the first thing that appears is a mountain field forest, and several mountain hunters are carrying medicine baskets on their backs, collecting medicinal materials on the mountain.
"Look, what is that?"
Suddenly a cry of surprise sounded, and then the camera immediately aimed at the dark clouds in the sky.
The thick dark clouds kept rolling, and an extremely huge steel monster broke through the rolling sea of clouds and appeared in the eyes of everyone. It was a dark mass, covering the sky and the sun, and the whole earth was suddenly covered with a shadow.
It was a giant steel fortress, its size was comparable to a human main city, and the overall shape was a ship, just like the legendary space battleship.
The group of mountaineers below were so tiny in front of this steel battleship that they could be ignored. Even the small mountain they were on was only equivalent to a pocket-sized figurine compared to the things in the sky.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.
However, it was not just that. At the end of the video, the camera focused on the distant sky.
Everyone vaguely saw that under the clouds in the distance, there were actually two similar steel battleships, looming.
"Is this... also something of those robots?" Solomon asked in surprise.
"These three battleships were photographed by the natives near the Great Abyss an hour ago. According to the locals, these three battleships seemed to rise from the vicinity of the abyss, but they did not attack anyone. After rising to a high altitude, they began to fly towards the east..." Tianzi explained.
"Nima, these robots are too crazy. They even invented aviation battleships?" Bluebeard said.
"Actually, there's nothing to be surprised about. These robots have existed for much longer than us. In their eyes, the history of the Fools may be just a trivial piece of paper." Tianzi said.
"What I mean is that these robots have such powerful abilities that they don't go to the sky to fight against the God-Eating Beasts, but instead they want to swing their butcher knives at us!" Bluebeard sighed.
Mu You ignored Bluebeard's complaints and suddenly tagged Tianzi: "You just said that these steel warships went to the east?"
"Yes..."
"Huh? Twilight City seems to have flown to the east as well..." Saint Light Nana said at this time.
"..."
With this reminder, everyone also realized something.
East...
Mu You looked at the Star Spirit Realm map on the table and found the location of the Great Abyss and the location of the Fatima Empire.
But to the east of the two, their Sky City is not currently staying. Instead, another very conspicuous mark comes into view-White Maple City!
"White Maple City? The purpose of these warships is to fight against those mirage creatures?" Jiuyou was the first to react in the group.
"It's possible! The reason why the robots want to rob our Sky City may not be simply targeting us, but to use the power of the Sky City to reinforce these warships!"
"But why?" Saint Light Nana asked. The robots suddenly made a big move, not hesitating to expose their trump cards, turned against them, and robbed their city, just to provoke those mirage creatures? How can you make enemies everywhere like this...
"It's very simple, because the Great Abyss is also within the coverage of the mirage in the future." Mu You said. Combined with the previous things, he has vaguely figured out the cause and effect.
It seems that the host did not wake up after noticing that he was in the Garden of Eden, but was forced to wake up after the invasion of the mirage.
"Does this mean that the robots are afraid of the mirage? Once the mirage covers their nest, it is likely to cause unacceptable losses to them, so they have to go out in full force, risking exposing their trump cards to us in advance, and also repel the mirage creatures!" Tianzi said.
After this analysis, everyone understood: It turned out that the purpose of these robots' sudden attack was not the Fool, but the Mirage Tapir threatening their safety!
"Perhaps we can use this point." Tianzi pondered.
"How?" someone asked.
"It's very simple, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since the robots want to expel the Mirage creatures from the Star Spirit Realm, then we will help the Mirage Tapir and make the Mirage invade faster!" Mu You said.
