Chapter 474: Shining Glory
Without saying anything more, after confirming that there was still hope for a turnaround, the many Ninth Orders present immediately began to prepare for their attacks again.
Everyone in the high-altitude defense formation also noticed this scene.
"They don't seem to be giving up yet. Are they planning to drain all our magic power?"
A ninth-level warrior with a pale green body whispered, which also expressed the question in everyone's mind.
"There is one thing I need to inform you of. When we launched the ceremony earlier, the connection devices of the construct network were constantly being cleared.
The speed of this cleaning, based on the overall proportion of the current construction network, was initially about 0.26% per minute, and the speed was gradually slowing down. It was expected to reach 20% of the total after one magic hour.
The maximum consciousness carrying capacity of the construction network is about 76% of the current total."
At this time, a petite girl wearing a gray-black cloak beside the Speaker spoke softly.
She is also the host of this ceremony and presides over the secondary core magic node of the entire ceremony.
"Thanks for letting me know, Xing."
The Speaker nodded to the other party, then turned to the many Ninth Orders that served as ritual nodes and gathered the power from the entire construct network, and spoke calmly.
"As for the issue of network power consumption that everyone is worried about, if they can continue to come twenty-three times like they just did, the network's power may indeed be temporarily exhausted.
However, there were less than ten minutes left until the ceremony was completed.
Everything is already determined, no matter what they do now, it is impossible to change the result of tonight."
However, before the Speaker finished his words, a change that ordinary people could not perceive suddenly broke out in a flash.
The first wave of variables appeared in the invisible web of destiny of the continent. As if they had discussed it beforehand, many prophets suddenly launched a destiny-level attack on the gray fog, which was currently in the first place in interfering with the progress.
“?!”
Gray Mist, who was concentrating on defending against the next wave of attacks from Stargazer, was a little surprised when he was suddenly attacked.
However, this did not prevent him from fighting back.
In his eyes, although the attacks of many prophets seemed to be fierce, the real threat was not as great as the ripples of fate caused by the stargazers before.
It's not that he is arrogant. At this point in time when he is about to break through and is fully prepared, his strength is actually between the eighth and ninth levels.
Apart from the Stargazer, the true ninth-level prophet, the other seventh- and eighth-level prophets, even if they were all gathered together temporarily, would not be able to pose any threat to him.
What's more, many prophets were also on guard against each other, and no one of them was giving their all, which reduced his pressure even more.
But before Gray Mist could breathe a sigh of relief after blocking the attacks of everyone, the second wave of unexpected events that really caught him off guard suddenly occurred.
In the Frenos Valley, Semm Plains, Limina Basin... in large magic crystal mining areas across the Federation, a strong wave was suddenly released at the same time.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see such a wonderful scene: with dozens of large magic crystal mining areas as the center, a faint spherical blue light curtain suddenly bursts out from the ground, and then spreads to the surroundings at the speed of light.
Almost in an instant, this curtain of light covered the entire border of the federation.
A large number of birds were startled by the sudden light and flew away, and the nocturnal animals in the forest were frightened by the suddenly bright environment and fled in all directions.
In human cities, some residents who had not yet slept looked up, looking in confusion at the beautiful blue lights passing by them.
What they didn't know was that under this seemingly 'harmless' light, along the empty construct network, a powerful pulse of magic suddenly injected back into the countless connecting headbands.
In this sudden attack, countless ordinary connection headbands that were connected to the construct network were immediately affected. The brightness of the inscriptions on their surfaces suddenly rose, and then overloaded in a flashing red light.
From Avis's perspective of fate, in the area where the blue light passed, all the starlight lines representing the connectors of the construct network were extinguished, like candles blown out by a strong wind.
In an instant, the entire construction network suffered an unprecedented impact.
Although the special high-level connecting headbands used by a small number of mid- and high-level professionals were still able to withstand the attack of the blue light.
But in the entire constructed network, those low-level professionals and ordinary people are actually the majority of the entire network users, accounting for more than 80% of the number.
In other words, in this sudden attack, the total number of devices in the entire network was instantly reduced to about 20% of the previous amount.
The influx of such a large number of consciousnesses caused the pressure on the entire network to rapidly increase to the point of near collapse, which caught no one off guard.
"Mr. Speaker, the situation has suddenly changed. The number of connections of the constructed network equipment has been reduced to 20%. The network itself is about to be overloaded."
In mid-air, sensing this sudden change, Xing's report became a little hurried.
"I understand. All backup prosthetic bodies will be activated immediately!"
This sudden accident made the chairman look a little solemn. However, his tone was still calm and he did not seem flustered.
Before carrying out this plan, he had already anticipated all possible worst-case scenarios.
The destruction of a large number of headbands in a short period of time was also one of the worst situations he had anticipated. His solution to this was to construct a prosthetic body.
As the name suggests, this is a device that is mass-produced using magical construction and is used to carry the consciousness of the connector.
Each artificial body was enough to carry the consciousness of the person connected to the network for about one magic hour. He had produced nearly ten million artificial bodies like this.
As the Speaker's will was issued, countless metal devices that had been dormant were suddenly activated in many uninhabited and dangerous places throughout the Federation.
As the metal cuboids, the size of urns, and the complex inscriptions on their surfaces were activated one by one, the load-bearing pressure of the construct network slowly decreased, and finally returned to about 60%.
However, before the speaker could catch his breath, something even worse happened.
Due to the interference of this strange blue light, the power transmission of the network began to become somewhat unstable. In addition, the control key in his hand suddenly began to fail, as if there was a problem with the authority.
What really made his face gloomy was that the many ninth-level warriors below seemed to have colluded and suddenly launched an attack on them again.
The Archbishop of the Mingshenghui Church even crushed a white holy crystal again and shot an arrow of divine punishment at them.
Although not like the first wave, there were three limit-breaking attacks coming.
But in the current situation where the network suddenly has problems, even if there is only one limit-breaking attack this time, their strength will be reduced as it is consumed.
