Chapter 479 Interstellar Rebellion 18

With his command, the mental energy of all the guardians instantly connected, and a powerful mental force erupted, sweeping across the entire space.

Every inch of metal, every strand of energy flow, and even the curvature of the space itself were repeatedly examined.

One second.

Two seconds.

"Sir, nothing was found!"

"I don't have any here either!"

"The life signal has completely disappeared!"

The feedback left everyone stunned.

The old man's face turned ashen.

"How is that possible!"

"Under our mental energy field, a living person can't just vanish into thin air!"

"Or you're going to tell me that the alarm wasn't triggered by a person!"

Just as the old man was angrily berating everyone, Zhou Jue appeared.

Are you looking for me?

A voice suddenly rang out behind them, and everyone froze, their movements halting, before they whirled around.

The intruder had somehow appeared at the top of the stairs they had just rushed up.

She looked at them calmly and composedly, as if she didn't take them seriously at all.

"you……"

The old man had barely uttered a single word when his pupils contracted violently.

Zhou Jue's figure left an almost imperceptible afterimage in place, and the next instant, she appeared in front of the old man.

Without any energy fluctuations, weapons, or even any extra movements, she simply extended a finger and gently touched the old man's forehead.

"Well!"

The old man's eyes bulged out, and his proud, vast spiritual core, as boundless as the ocean, seemed to be pierced by an invisible needle, instantly shattering into countless fragments.

He collapsed limply, losing all consciousness.

"Fire!"

"Use a mental attack! Don't let her get close!"

Someone finally realized what was happening and let out a terrified roar.

Dozens of mental attacks transformed into invisible blades, whips, and hammers, sealing off all of Zhou Jue's space to dodge from all directions.

Zhou Jue's figure disappeared again. She did not dodge, but instead directly passed through the net woven by mental energy.

Bang!

An S-rank guardian was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a distant alloy wall before sliding to the ground.

She's on the right!

"No! To the left!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chaotic shouts were accompanied by a series of dull thuds.

Each sound represents the fall of a top guardian of the Federation.

Their pride in their mental fortitude proved as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in the face of their adversary.

They couldn't even see Zhou Jue's movements clearly, only feeling an irresistible force descend upon them, and then their consciousness was swept into endless darkness.

In less than ten seconds, Zhou Jue was the only one left standing in the entire core area.

Those dozens of top-tier guardians, who were powerful enough to hold sway over a region in the Federation, lay sprawled on the ground, all incapacitated, with only faint breathing proving they were still alive.

Zhou Jue walked up to the first old man who had fallen.

She flicked her finger, and a barely perceptible ray of light entered the old man's brow.

His tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the fear and anger in his eyes gradually faded, eventually turning into an empty, wooden expression.

Zhou Jue remained expressionless as he repeated the action.

One after another.

Soon, all the guardians who had fallen to the ground stood up again.

Their eyes were vacant, and their movements were perfectly synchronized, like a group of robots that had just left the factory and were programmed with uniform instructions.

"Guard the entrance."

Zhou Jue gave the order, his voice remaining calm.

"Anyone who comes after will be killed without mercy."

"yes."

Dozens of people responded in unison, their voices completely flat.

These elites, who had just sworn to defend the Sky Eye Tower to the death, turned to face the stairwell and instantly formed the strongest defensive line.

The physical threat has been temporarily eliminated.

Zhou Jue closed her eyes, finally able to immerse herself completely in her consciousness. She needed to 'see' the battle situation in the data world.

[Host! Host, save me!]

The voice of System 2828 screamed almost the instant her consciousness connected.

The voice was filled with anxiety, fear, and even a hint of...despair.

Zhou Jue's heart sank.

She could clearly sense that the system's consciousness was fluctuating violently, like a small boat in a storm, which could capsize at any moment.

[The main system is too powerful! Host! We...we can't hold on any longer!]

066 and 2828 are being frantically crushed by that unknown system force and the counterattack of the main system itself.

The battle in the data world was far more brutal than she had imagined.

Zhou Jue's consciousness, guided by the system's consciousness, merged into the battlefield of data.

She "saw" that there were no physical walls here, only endless, flowing light, and a vast ocean composed of billions of codes and logical instructions.

In the heart of the ocean, an unequal massacre is unfolding.

A wall of light, as dazzling as a galaxy yet constantly crumbling, stands stubbornly.

That's 066.

It built a defensive line based on its own core.

Opposite to it is the main system.

The immeasurable streams of light converged into a world-destroying tsunami, crashing against the light wall constructed by 066 time and time again.

With each impact, 066's brilliance dimmed a little, and countless tiny fragments of code peeled off its "body," instantly swallowed and assimilated by the torrent of the main system.

"Senior! You can't hold on! Let's retreat!"

2828's voice was pleading, but it didn't stop moving, battling with the data around it.

【Shut up! 】

For the first time, 066's voice lost its composure, carrying a resolute anger.

Behind us are all our comrades! Where can we retreat to?! This is our only chance. Even if I die in battle, I will bite off a piece of the control token!

Zhou Jue's "gaze" passed over the brutal main battlefield and landed on the edge of the battlefield.

There, another battle was also taking place.

Dozens of orbs of light representing the rebel system are being besieged by another force.

That force wasn't as vast as the main system, but rather a force on par with the rebels. Like a group of well-coordinated sharks, they silently traversed the ocean of data, each attack precisely tearing a piece of flesh from the rebel ranks.

That's the "Marshal's" system.

Zhou Jue understood instantly.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

These "orioles" never intended to compete with the "mantises" for food. Their goal was to eat both the "mantises" and the "cicadas" when they were both exhausted from their fight!

[Senior, there are... there are too many of them!] The other rebel systems discovered that the 'Marshal's' forces had significantly more systems than them, and these systems weren't rushing forward, but instead were consuming them from behind.

2828 also discovered this deadly crisis, its voice filled with anxiety and resentment.

We're surrounded! Is the Marshal's system malfunctioning?! Instead of attacking the main system, it's encircling us!

The main system's frontal crushing attack, coupled with the "Marshal" system's flanking encirclement.

This is a war in which there is no chance of victory.

【2828!】Just then, the towering wall of light in 066 suddenly burst forth with unprecedented brilliance.

Instead of defending itself, it ignited all its power, along with its core code at the very bottom!

【rush! ! ! 】
