Monsters Are Coming

After disconnecting, a multitude of scenes appeared in the Star Network’s mind.

Each scene was a prediction simulation, determining the direction of the Black Tide under the control of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

Command barrages began to be sent at a frequency of tens of thousands per second.

"Empty City Dream, health at 12%, use Intermediate Recovery Potion to maintain health."

"White Night Sonata, cast Star Shifting on Stone Statue Stream Player Mechanical Priest of Subgroup 2, Subsquad 14, under Warband."

"Dawn Stars, Life Connection to Dome Observer of Subgroup 8, Subsquad 12 players, adjust damage absorption percentage to 83%."

"Shadow Ghost Dance, map coordinate location 7890.5678, release Ink Flame + Rushing Thunder + Extreme Speed for an output, exhaust the spiritual power bar."

...

During this time, the speed of barrage sending decreased in frequency.

It wasn’t due to a lack of energy.

It found that commands sent too quickly required players time to comprehend, which in turn affected player battle efficiency.

To solve this problem, the Star Network employed two methods.

First, it reduced the frequency of command barrage sending. Next, it formed commands using comma-separated keywords rather than full sentences.

For example: Low health, Intermediate Potion, retreat 14 meters.

With simplified commands, participating players found them easier to understand.

The battle between the two sides gradually reached a boiling point, both sides entering a high-frequency operation mode.

"Earth Thought, player unit at coordinates 2932.28492 from the Player Clan is building momentum, preemptively defend."

"Group 3 (scattered barrage sending) abandon attack, drink potion."

"Earth Thought, abandon defense, the opponent is starting to drink potion to recover state, suggest immediate generation of attack-type Evil Spirit for bombardment."

Unlike the command mode of the Divine King back then.

The commands between the two sides changed rapidly, with attacks ordered one second and defense the next.

During high-frequency operations, both sides were collecting each other’s habitual logic.

Counteracting through habitual logic was one of the key reasons the Earth Thought Evil Spirit could stifle the Divine King.

In every confrontation with the Divine King, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit could collect the Divine King’s habitual data.

When this habitual data was pieced together, it formed the Divine King’s thought and logic chain data.

The strategies of the Divine King were almost transparent in the eyes of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

It could even trap the Divine King through war operations.

Offering strategies 1 and 2 while actually preparing strategy 5, the Divine King would set up 3 and 4 based on 1 and 2, steering the war towards strategy 5.

But this tactic didn’t work well against the Star Network.

The Star Network’s command generation logic could infinitely change in a second.

Essentially, the Star Network was an Intelligent Brain, without the thought inertia of ordinary beings, and issued all commands without following habits.

This resulted in the data provided by the Evil Eye being unable to form the Star Network’s habitual logic chain during high-frequency confrontations.

It was like a puzzle—the Divine King’s logic chain was overly recorded, resembling a completed logic puzzle.

A glance at the puzzle could roughly predict the Divine King’s next directive.

Before the Divine King changed his habitual logic, this puzzle could be used to anticipate the Divine King’s thinking in advance.

But every piece of logic the Star Network provided was different, these command logics could not combine into a complete logic puzzle.

Since descending into the Monster World, this was the first commanding opponent that the Earth Thought Evil Spirit felt extreme pressure from.

...

For the Star Network, intricately controlling nearly sixty thousand players wasn’t difficult.

But this battle also made it realize its own significant shortcomings compared to the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

A major issue stemmed from the real-world level.

The supply of energy would exponentially increase with the growing number of intricately controlled players.

Assuming the need for detailed command of over ten billion players.

Merely relying on ordinary resources from reality, even the highest S-Class energy supply would be insufficient to maintain prolonged energy consumption.

The only solution was to enter the Monster World and use the Monster World’s high-level spiritual resources to offset command consumption.

But based on this problem, it still needs to solve another problem.

Once in the Monster World, it might just be an ordinary player; how can it utilize its vast data processing ability from reality?

Or, after obtaining qualification for the Monster World, can it enter using the life model from the real world?

None of these questions could have clear answers before acquiring qualification.

What it had to do was lay out strategies for the future before entering the Monster World, expanding the Moon Eclipse Clan and even its own influence.

This was also why it agreed to assist the Divine King in command operations.

The fierce collision continued in the direction of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Even with the help of the Star Network, the sixty thousand players achieved a battle efficiency that twelve hundred thousand players had never reached.

However, there was a significant disparity in strength when comparing the two sides.

This gap was not something the Star Network’s ability could bridge.

As the black screen of live broadcasts increased, the war inevitably inclined towards defeat.

However, the Star Network did not give up on continuing to command the war.

While the Earth Thought Evil Spirit collected player data through the war, it was also collecting the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s habitual data through war.

Habits can change, but at critical moments requiring extremely short reaction time, habits still instinctively drive ideas.

Unlike the solemn Star Network, the players of the United Battle Group were enjoying themselves immensely.

Though defeat was preordained, they had never fought such an exhilarating battle.

More accurately, they had never exerted their abilities so thoroughly in a confrontation against the Earth Thought Bully as they did now.
