"It's done." Zero breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile of satisfaction on his lips. "The spread of the poison has been completely stopped."
Shadow Killer sat in the cockpit of the mecha, watching the control interface return to normal, and couldn't help but whistle: "Boss, you really are our savior! These things are really weird, they almost ruined me."
"Haven't you been nearly ruined enough times?" Ling Ruoxi added bluntly, "If it weren't for Zero, you'd be left with nothing but scrap metal today."
Shadow Killer scratched his head and laughed, "Alright, alright, alright, you can insult me as much as you want, I'll take it! Anyway, the boss has saved the universe once again, so a round of applause is not too much!"
You Yu Jian Jia couldn't help but continue, "Applause is welcome, but I think the boss's salary is more important. Shouldn't we increase his share of virtual spirit stones?"
Zero glanced at them and said, "Shut up. If you have nothing to do, practice your skills more and stop causing trouble for me."
This sentence instantly silenced the channel for a few seconds. Then, Shadow Killer rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, don't be so cold. You are our light and hope!"
Zero didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just projected the remaining runes of the extracted poison onto the screen and studied them attentively.
As the runes magnified, the chain structure of the poison was clearly revealed to everyone. The runes resembled some kind of sophisticated biological cell, their complex structures intertwined with each other, as if they had life.
The Shadow Killer leaned over to take a look, then immediately slammed the table and stood up, "I told you! This must be something that Gu Master created! Who else would use such a disgusting trick besides him?"
You Yu Jian Jia immediately nodded in agreement, "Right, right, right! That Gu Master is a complete cancer on the Spirit Realm battlefield. This must be his latest invention."
Zero ignored their accusations, instead frowning slightly, his gaze fixed on the rune chains on the screen. His voice was low and calm, "No, this isn't the work of a Gu Master."
"Not a Gu Master?" Ling Ruoxi asked doubtfully, "Then who else could it be? Isn't this Gu procedure his thing?"
Zero tapped the rune chains on the screen and calmly explained, "The Gu Master's programming focuses more on psychic infection, often using slow erosion and weakening techniques. But these things... their design goals are very clear—destruction and complete control. The logic of these runes is more efficient than the Gu Master's programming, and even has a certain cold precision."
"So you're saying..." Ling Ruoxi frowned even tighter, "This was designed by another person?"
"Very likely." Zero's voice deepened. "And this person is even more skilled than the Gu Master. He didn't just improve the Gu's design; he completely reconstructed its logic, making it even more dangerous and more difficult to deal with."
The entire channel suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became more solemn than ever before.
The Shadow Killer whistled softly, "So, now we not only have to be on guard against the Gu Master, but also this even more ruthless Great God?"
You Yu Jian Jia laughed dryly, "This Spirit Realm battlefield has become a laboratory for high-end players. Can ordinary players like us still happily farm treasure chests?"
Ling Ruoxi didn't join in their jokes, but instead looked at the screen with a complicated expression: "Zero, if this designer is more dangerous than the Gu Master, then could he be planning something bigger? After all, the network involved in the Spirit Realm battlefield is very extensive."
Zero didn't answer, but quietly closed the screen. His gaze was deep, as if he had penetrated the virtual interface before him and looked beyond.
"Things are indeed becoming increasingly complicated," he whispered, a rare hint of solemnity in his tone. "But no matter who this person is, we must be careful. This may not only be a threat to the Spirit Realm battlefield."
There was an invisible pressure in the air, and everyone realized that this was just the beginning, and the next battle would be even more dangerous and more confusing.
The poisonous rune chains danced across the screen like a virus. Zero calmly watched these madly spreading runes. His fingers danced rapidly across the virtual keyboard, and the rune array began to take shape on the screen.
"The goal of these things is not just to paralyze the network, but to completely destroy the control core." His voice was low, but with a hint of certainty, "But this time, they chose the wrong opponent."
As Zero manipulated the screen, counter-runes swirled across the screen. He skillfully combined the structure of the psychic network with the runes, constructing a complex virtual cage. Like a spider web, this cage layered around the poison's path of spread, gradually constricting its range of activity.
"It's done." He breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of confidence in his tone. "They're trapped."
The channel exploded in an instant. Shadow Killer wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted, "Boss, you saved our lives again! These things are even more disgusting than Gu Masters!"
You Yu Jian Jia immediately followed up with a complaint: "That's right! I almost thought I was going to turn into a piece of electronic scrap metal!"
Ling Ruoxi's voice sounded calmer: "Zero, where is the source of these poisonous insects? Is it really just a random event in the Chaos Region?"
Zero didn't respond immediately, but continued working. He extracted some residual data from the poison rune and quickly analyzed its underlying logic. The rune chain on his screen twisted like a living thing, as if struggling to resist analysis.
"The design of these things is indeed much more complex than that of previous Gu Masters," he said as he examined them. "Furthermore, their transmission methods and core logic have been completely redesigned, making them more efficient than Gu Master programs."
