Apocalypse降临 + Live Broadcast + National Destiny + Rule Tales怪谈 + Parallel Worlds
Eerie creatures descend upon Earth, rules become humanity's final showdown against the unspeakable.
As the technology of the city of Vena advanced, the gods became increasingly unscrupulous.
At this point, the first case of cybervirus disease appeared.
The new generation of war god.
She is a female goddess, brave and skilled in battle, and her divine form was inherited after defeating the previous god of war.
The God of War usually has a rebellious air about him in the city of Vina. He wears studded boots, a leather jacket, and brass knuckles. When he uses his Dharma form, a huge female phantom wearing a helmet and armor appears behind him, holding a spear in her left hand and a shield in her right. Her combat power is astonishing.
Therefore, the God of War's infection with Cybervirus also brought a lot of trouble to the inner city.
Fortunately, before she could spread the virus, she killed the man in public out of excessive jealousy of a perfect and beautiful Class B citizen, which led to the abnormality being immediately discovered by the other gods.
Unfortunately, in an attempt to subdue her alone, more than a dozen gods in the inner city were severely injured.
The God of War was imprisoned in the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison for the crime of harming the gods. Through scientific research and the process of elimination, Cyber Disease first appeared in the records of the inner city.
Subsequently, Cyber Disease began to appear one after another. However, since it mostly occurred in Class B citizens, and sometimes in lower-class citizens, it did not attract the attention of the inner city and was hastily defined as a "mental illness".
Until more than a decade ago, another case of a Class A citizen being infected with Cybervirus occurred. This was also a newly ascended deity who had participated in the ceremony of becoming a god.
Because this newly ascended deity was originally a Class B citizen who successfully awakened his Dharma form purely through his own abilities, he had no foundation in the inner city and was targeted by some veteran deities who proposed to "directly destroy" him, which caused the escape of infected people that year.
Who could have imagined that some of the infected people who escaped would slowly recover on their own after leaving the inner city?
"Pandora's Box, that name sounds so familiar—"
As Yin Zhu drew out the sound, she looked at Jennifer, whose expression was complicated, since this was something from Western mythology.
To help the Chosen Ones overcome the language barrier, the Unspeakable will translate some terms from the Unique Star into names of figures or deities similar to those on Earth. Yin Zhu had previously criticized the Dragon Kingdom mythology, and now it's Jennifer's turn to experience what she felt back then.
Sure enough, Jennifer's expression was like she'd eaten shit, indescribable: "It does sound familiar..."
Pandora's Box is an artifact from the ancient mythology of the Pantheon, and as a fellow nation from the Old World, Jennifer naturally knew of its existence.
In mythology, Pandora is a woman of boundless allure, created by the gods as the wife of the fire-stealer. In reality, she possesses a magic box capable of unleashing all evil in the world, intended as revenge for humanity's theft of sacred fire. In the story, Pandora opens the box and quickly closes it, but many evils still escape.
However, Yin Zhu was thinking about something else:
The fact that the Unspeakable translates the name of that thing as Pandora's Box suggests that in the Unspeakable's eyes, this thing is like a box containing disaster, yet it also tempts others to open it.
The biggest disaster for the One Star right now is the Cyber Disease.
Could this be the real source of cybernetics?
A source that spreads cybervirus, or rather, a source that slowly contaminates the entire world.
On the surface, it seems that the Unspeakable has let the Only Star off the hook, but if the conjecture is true, in reality, the Unspeakable is encouraging the natives to turn their own world into a forbidden zone, no, a strange and uncanny copy of the rules.
Yin Zhu and the others did not know the specific challenges of Pandora's Box; they only learned about the process of becoming a god from the prince and remembered some terms.
The Chosen Ones had a pretty good idea of what was going on just from the name.
"You must come to the inner city before the ceremony!" the prince reminded him anxiously, worried that Jennifer might stand him up.
After much tedious communication and wrangling, the worm successfully obtained three new and safe identities from the prince. Although not all six of them could go, three was already quite good.
Feiyu didn't have a strong desire to go, Xiaoqiang went with Feiyu, Pingye Shan insisted on going with Yinzhu, and in the end, Jennifer was left behind to "look after the house".
“We can’t completely trust the prince. They’ll be fine within the instrument’s range, but you—”
The worm completely ignored Hirano Sane, its eyes fixed on Yin Zhu: "You always act recklessly and don't follow you. I seriously doubt you could have stormed into the temple with a knife on your very first day in the central area—"
Seeing Yin Zhu's eyes light up as he described, the worm quickly poured cold water on the idea: "I don't know what your abilities are, but you're definitely not good at fighting."
He was right about that.
Yin Zhu's only combat skill right now is something she crammed for on Blue Star, or even something she was tricked into learning by An Zhi. She sacrificed a lot of rest time for it, but it was indeed useful.
At least Yin Zhu was able to escape much faster than before.
Yin Zhu knew why An Zhi had suddenly started giving her special training, so she didn't complain too much. However, she couldn't say it, for fear that it wouldn't work.
"Speak less, move less, and just imitate the behavior of others."
The worm began to give Yin Zhu one-on-one special training. For some reason, Hirano Shan gave him the feeling that she was an excellent student who "wouldn't make mistakes even without training," while Yin Zhu was simply a troublesome problem student. Every time he listened to the lecture, he would agree very well and his expression would be very sincere, but he would make the same mistakes again.
This time, to ensure that Yin Zhu wouldn't slip up in the details, the worm even found a complete list of prohibited items.
“These things are all prohibited in the inner city. Every rule has a history behind it, so you must remember them well.” The worm tapped the screen. “I’ve noticed that you don’t know a lot of common sense. People in the outer city would think you’re an alien, let alone those in the inner city.”
"You guessed it? That's right, I am Princess of Bamboo Star—" Yin Zhu began her storytelling session without hesitation.
"...The next prohibited item is a genetically modified product that was banned five years ago because it could be used by both gods and humans, making it impossible to distinguish the class difference between the two. So the gods simply stopped the project. It is said that all the semi-finished products in the factory were destroyed at that time. If you encounter that person, he has most likely broken the law."
The worm felt that writing code was probably easier than teaching Yin Zhu, and now it even had to tutor her in history.
