Monsters Are Coming

"How did you do that?"

...

Eclipse City, Star Network Center.

The Star Network’s neural tentacles sway, simultaneously sending golden bullet screens to 59,836 player livestreams.

Activating the ultimate micro-management mode.

Among the countless light screens in front of the Star Network, the largest one displays the map of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Scanning the map and combining the battlefield environment, spatial coordinate information is generated in its mind in real-time, and then these coordinates are sent as bullet screens to different livestreams.

The light screen hanging on the right side of the map shows: Monster World website’s Evil Spirit Atlas.

It contains information on all the Evil Spirit soldiers battled by players.

Including Hunting Level, damage-taking values, etc.

Before the battle, the Star Network had the Divine King issue a command for all players to summon their attribute panels.

Each participating player’s Star Vein Level, Life Soul quantity, Body Refining Level, and comprehensive attribute values were sequentially recorded to calculate the combination method of their Life Soul characteristics, as well as damage values, and other information, which were documented in the database.

It can be said that the players in this United Battle Group livestream were independently commanded by bullet screens, and if the players black out, the Star Network would directly shut down the livestream screen.

The Evil Eye played with a huge scope of perception insight and big data processing, whereas the Star Network played with big data processing coupled with ultimate micro-management.

Every second, massive textual information is generated and sent.

The amount of information that needs to be processed is too vast, and the Star Network’s energy inventory consumption is overly intense; it now requires more energy to adapt to its operations.

Heavenly Abyss Domain Node, Evil Eye Tower Platform.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit was stunned by this wave of offensive.

Precision within disorder; this is not an ability a Player Clan commander should have.

The Player Clan has evolved again?

Earth Thought Evil Spirit was almost brought to the point of spitting blood.

Finally waiting for the Waxing Moon, and before it could fully enjoy it, the players caught up?

"Savage."

"Earth Thought, focus on the war."

With the reminder from the Evil Eye, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit decisively turned its attention to the battlefield, beginning to control the troops in response.

Further annoying situations emerged.

The specific counter-offensive tactic tailored for players also ran into problems.

The Player Clan’s commander seemed able to pre-emptively predict which Catastrophe Series Soldiers he intended to retreat for a counter-offensive and could focus fire ahead of time, killing them moments before retreat.

What the Earth Thought Evil Spirit didn’t realize is that the health situations of all Catastrophe Series Soldiers are presented in percentage values in the Star Network’s mind.

Based on previous video records, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit tends to initiate the counter-offensive when Catastrophe Series Soldiers reach 20%-22% health.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit had once countered the Divine King with the Divine King’s own habits.

This time, the Star Network countered the troop counter-offensive tactics with the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s habits.

Once the health bars of Catastrophe Series Soldiers were clarified in percentage form, it became possible to predict and focus fire in advance, and the Star Network even analyzed the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s habitual sequence for counter-offensive troops.

Focusing on the central area of the main battle line, followed by the main battle line to the left, then to the right.

"Earth Thought, your habits have been detected. Change your operational habits."

The Evil Eye also saw through the problem at a glance and decisively voiced a reminder.

"Understood." Earth Thought Evil Spirit nodded, forcibly correcting the rhythm of his counter-offensive troops.

But what frightened the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was.

The new counter-offensive rhythm was once again deciphered after ten minutes, and a new counterattack focus fire mode was initiated, pinpointing the imminent retreat of Catastrophe Series Soldiers.

"Shit!"

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit decisively continued to change the operational rhythm.

This time, the Star Network didn’t follow; taking advantage of the gap brought by the opponent’s change of operations, it commanded its own Damage-bearing Stream players to retreat.

But unlike the retreat command issued by the Divine King, under the Star Network’s extreme micromanagement, commands were issued based on the individual player’s situation alone.

It avoided the premature retreat of the healthy Stone Statue Stream, creating undue pressure on the main battle line’s advancement.

Light Shield characteristic single release, Binding characteristic single control, single target strikes... the Star Network gradually entered a state of war.

This isn’t its first encounter with the Black Tide.

What once limited it was the fact that the Moon Eclipse Clan’s military strength was far inferior to the Black Tide Species, similar to this time.

At this moment, the players within the United Battle Group were also dumbfounded.

"My god, Number 1 Visitor, you must be cheating, how did you manage to command every single player in the entire group independently?"

"Oh my god, this Number 1 Visitor is too incredible."

"Damn, I seriously suspect it’s the Star Network itching to participate; there’s no way these intricate commands could be achieved by a sentient being, you’re multitasking not just a little, using your thoughts on tens of thousands of people, treating yourself like an Intelligent Brain, right?"

"It probably isn’t the Star Network, Monster World was created by the Star Network; with a single thought, the Earth Thought Bully could be defeated, there’s no point doing this. I suspect the Divine King brought the Human Clan’s city AI to participate, worthy of the lifestyle master."

"City AI is like a fool; managing city traffic systems is one thing, but there’s no way a city AI could do this, definitely not the city AI."

"Everyone stop arguing, and pay attention to the golden bullet screens; so satisfying, our Player Corps finally stood up."

"Damn! Bullet screen command! Number 1 is awesome, full of admiration."

Facing the Star Network, the Earth Thought Bully felt pressure from command strategy for the first time.

To cope with the Star Network’s ultimate micro-management, he began using the advantages of all troop types in combat.

In the blink of an eye, the generation logic for the Surge Series Soldiers "Destroyer" spread through the Black Tide.

Black ripples flared in the space behind the main battle line, with eerie purple lightning darting crazily from the ripples igniting the surrounding air instantly, generating crackling explosive sounds.
