Chapter 77: Changing tactics and surrendering is for a better all-in.
Wen Yue didn't dwell on the topic and instead asked, "How is Jason? Can you sense his condition?"
[Jason is fine, his physical condition is normal.] The tone of the world consciousness is always unhurried: [After you placed your omnipotent authority into the high-caste blade forged from his soul, his soul ascended to become a terrestrial angel, immortal and eternally present with you.]
"That's good." Wen Yue's tense expression eased somewhat, and she lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, her heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, felt much more at ease.
In the face of a world consciousness that constantly monitors players' emotions, players' emotional states are almost transparent.
Your negative emotions are fading, and this divine body is gradually rejecting your soul; you cannot stay here for long. However, the connection established will not disappear, and you can still draw upon the power within this divine body upon returning to reality.
[However, the chaotic power within the divine body is extremely corrupting; use it with caution.] The world's consciousness cautioned: [This is the dark side that God actively separated and abandoned; treat this corrupted power with utmost care.]
[I will use it carefully. How should I rescue you afterward?] Wen Yue's soul rippled uncontrollably, and she could also sense that she was about to return to reality.
[To save the world that is intertwined with our cause and effect, to free that world from the stain of darkness and multiplicity, and to stop its decline.] This silent erosion is everywhere; the two worlds are connected and permeate each other, and no world can remain unaffected.
[Go to that world as soon as possible. You will descend through this divine body, and you can only bring things that are connected to the higher-dimensional divine being.]
The voice of world consciousness grew distant and gradually faded: "[Be careful to conceal yourself while smuggling. Barbatos is monitoring and blocking that area, but He cannot intervene directly against you...]"
Neither the world consciousness nor Barbatos can extricate themselves from this war between kings and generals; everything depends on the players themselves.

The figure was swallowed by the seawater and sank to the bottom of the sea without any struggle; the game inventory space fluctuated.
The mysterious runes flickered, and the cube caused waves of energy fluctuations. The awakened Mother Box broke free from its restraints and floated upwards. Steppenwolf, as always, focused on efficiency. After collecting the last Mother Box, he immediately withdrew and disappeared from the spot.
After a moment, the sea rippled, and Wen Yue huffed and puffed as she climbed ashore. Gazing into the distance, her eyes widened in astonishment: "No, they really just left like that, without a single doubt?"
Although the mother box is real, it has also been tampered with.
Surrendering is for a better chance to win; choice is more important than effort; lying down doesn't necessarily mean failure. Players have abandoned impetuosity, changed tactics, retreated to advance, struck later to gain the upper hand, planned for the long term and acted prudently, and won every battle.
Since the invaders want it so badly, then give it to them. It seems like they have everything, but in reality, they've lost everything. To contend is not to contend, and not to contend is to contend; only by not contending can one be invincible. Steppenwolf's skills are still too shallow; he needs to mature further.
Brushing a stray strand of hair from her forehead, Wen Yue, soaking wet, made her way towards Jason. Having been deprived of oxygen for so long, her body felt weak, and she could only see scattered black dots before her eyes. Her steps were unsteady, but she continued forward without stopping, her expression unchanged.
The containers were haphazardly stacked, the steel plates hard and heavy. Wen Yue struggled to move them slightly, her arms bulging with veins. She was also somewhat exhausted from her struggle in the sea earlier.
The force suddenly eased, and several hands worked together to lift it up. The steel plate landed with a heavy thud. Wen Yue smiled with relief: "That's great, it's much easier now that someone is helping out. Thank you."
With the help of the Justice League team, Jason finally saw the light of day again, unharmed, but still in an unknown coma.
Aquaman arrived late, riding the waves of the ocean. Wen Yue waved to him and said, "Arthur, my goggles fell into the sea and I don't know where they've been washed away to. Could you please help me retrieve them?"
The waves surged, the ocean was the absolute domain of the Sea King, his figure disappeared between the ebb and flow of the tide, only to reappear moments later.
"Thanks." There were two scratches on the goggles, and Wen Yue wiped them off and put them in her pocket.
The wind whispered across the vast dock. Wen Yue wrung out the seawater from the hem of her clothes and took the cape Superman handed her, wrapping it around her. Jason was fast asleep; this was indeed the best time for humans to fall asleep, any later would be considered staying up all night.
After a fierce chase, the Steppenwolf, having worked so hard, only managed to get a minor scratch on his goggles.
"Bruce, I'm sorry, we're too late." Superman picked up the unconscious Jason.
The player nodded to himself: The ground is cold; it wouldn't be good for the child to catch a cold while sleeping.
"Not too late, you've arrived just in time." Wen Yue pulled a tablet out of her game backpack and contacted the Bat Fighter 2.0 AI autopilot to pick them up.
"Steppenwolf just stole the Mother Box, which suits me perfectly."
Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the others, Wen Yue smiled slightly: "It's not a big problem. Although we've worked for nothing, the Steppenwolf is in the same boat."
"Perhaps this is fate's arrangement for us, telling us that we can do better. A powerful enemy is coming from afar, so let's take advantage of that and use what's near to defeat what's far away. After all, Earth is ultimately our home ground."
“Since these barbarians won’t use the main entrance, we’ll tamper with their shortcut.”
"I believe our plan will succeed in driving the enemy back into the dark stars."
At this point, Wen Yue glanced at Superman, giving him a knowing look. Now was the perfect time for a straight man, someone to casually ask the player what they had just done, the astonishing plan devised by their extraordinary wisdom. She was already basking in the glow of her own brilliant mind: "Ask me! Ask me!"
Da Chao crashed into the player's deep eyes, which seemed to sparkle with starlight at all times. He was shaken, and his gaze gradually hardened: "Yes, we will never compromise. Even in the face of the end of the world, we will create miracles."
Wen Yue: "?" Where is the chemistry between the world's best partners? It's one thing for their brainwaves not to match, but they're completely off-track. From now on, Superman and Robin Dick will be sitting together.
Wonder Woman nodded slightly, expressing her agreement without the slightest hesitation: "We are united, we are not afraid, we have nothing to fear."
Aquaman echoed: "We bask in the same sunlight."
Steelbone replied, "We are not alone."
The Flash excitedly clenched his fist and cheered, "Yes, it's all about this moment. We create our own future."
All eyes finally fell on the player. Among a bunch of legitimate, officially licensed superheroes, the Fourth Calamity suddenly felt out of place.
The player was sweating bullets: What's going on? What happened? Why did they suddenly get so excited? If I clarify what the player really meant now, will I get mobbed and beaten up on the spot?
Wen Yue's lips trembled a few times before she finally uttered a slightly drawn-out interjection: "emmmm..."
"Speak up! Stay in formation!" The player's intuition told her that it was best not to deviate from the formation and to continue in the same vein.
"Yes, one thing is certain: if we unite, we will be invincible." Wen Yue said with a serious expression, quickly ending the topic, and said in a deep, stern voice, "Prepare for battle, we will set off immediately."
The Batplane 2.0 landed slowly, and everyone entered the cabin.
Wen Yue was finally able to change out of her wet clothes, but the Batfighter 2.0's changing room didn't have a Batman suit. Having always had the Nanobat Armor, players never bothered to keep spare suits lying around. This experience taught players a valuable lesson, prompting them to avoid repeating the same mistake. Future Plan B plans should include a Batman suit spare symbol.
There were neither uniforms nor civilian clothes inside the fighter jet. Wen Yue rummaged through her game backpack and found the only clothing she had in stock. It was something that Afu had prepared for her when she was in the Vampire King world. She was quite grateful: Afu, the true god of housekeeping.
A relaxed, European retro-style white shirt with a lapel collar, its pristine white pleats trembling like flowers, makes this player seem less like he's heading to a brutal battlefield and more like he's going to a banquet.
The Justice League members were discussing the upcoming battle against Steppenwolf to stop the Mother Box when they caught a glimpse of players walking towards them, and their discussion gradually fell silent.
"You're not wearing a uniform?"
Wen Yue waved her hand casually: "No need to wear it anymore. I'm ready to sweep everything away and be myself again."
