Chapter 806 Utopia
Although Landon is the son of destiny, the Speaker at this moment is the embodiment of the will of the construct network. Landon punches the Speaker, which is equivalent to fighting against the fate of millions of constructs at the same time with his own strength.
In Anvis's opinion, if he wants to win, he must first find a way to break the Speaker's current state.
Put yourself in his shoes. If he were faced with this situation, there are two ways to break the impasse.
The first one is to find the sleeping body of the Speaker, and then attack him, forcibly dragging the Speaker out of the state of being integrated with the construct network.
The second is to find the support point [Heinz] of the construction network and then destroy it.
The existence of the construction network is somewhat similar to a long-lasting super-large domain magic, and Heinz is responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the underlying architecture of this domain magic.
Today's construction network is actually not the same as the original construction network.
The constructed network, born in the hands of the previous generation of Speaker, is essentially a limit-breaking super spell based on the dream world, constructed by the previous Speaker with the help of the power of Maelim, the Lord of Dreams.
But with the devouring of the Old Secret Scriptures and Maelim's vision being blocked, the original construct network lost its power foundation and thus dissipated directly. This was also the real reason for the first interruption of the construct network.
The current constructed network was rebuilt by the current Speaker imitating the previous constructed network with the help of Heinz. Its core abandoned the power of the dream world and relied entirely on the rules of the virtual world simulated by Heinz.
As someone who once seized control of the construct network, Avis had a preliminary idea of how to relieve the Speaker's current state, but that would require the cooperation of the floating city's core tower spirit [Bomia].
Theoretically speaking, with Landon's current abilities, it seems impossible for him to find the Speaker's real body or destroy Heinz.
But the child of destiny can often do unexpected things.
When Avis used his clone and the old secret book as a guide to remotely call the floating city, Landon, who was in the distance at the setting point of the sun, finally erupted.
Landon just roared, and then man and dog became one, and launched a stubborn counterattack towards the god-like sun in the sky.
As the son of destiny, he dared to punch fearlessly even in front of a real god! But unfortunately, no miracle happened. Before Lanton could even get close to the sun, he fell down under the "sunlight" and his breath dropped sharply.
Even his little Blackie wailed as it separated from his body, then vanished into thin air, looking as if it had been badly injured.
As for those ninth-order elves, when the Speaker entered a state of unity with the construct network, they had already abandoned all illusions of defeating the Speaker and immediately activated their secret techniques to escape.
However, the Speaker did not intend to let go of these ninth-level elves who came to his doorstep.
If it were in the outside world, he might not be able to stop these ninth-level elves from escaping in a group.
But once they fell into the virtual world he built with the help of Heinz, these elves were like fish caught in a fishing net and could only be slaughtered by him.
When they realized that they could not escape by their own strength, these ninth-order elves gathered together, ready to use a secret treasure to escape while Landon's attack attracted the Speaker's attention.
But unfortunately, to the Speaker in his current state, the elves' little tricks are meaningless.
"The power of the ninth level lies in the ability to draw on the power of the operating rules of the entire world. And the operating rules of this world are all set by me. In my world, how could you possibly defy my will?"
In the endless sky, the Speaker’s vast mental power waves rolled down.
Just as the Speaker said, under the shining golden "sunlight", the rule fields of many ninth-level elves melted like ice and snow. Even Seymour, who was at the ninth level, had no power to fight back and was separated and suppressed by the Speaker again.
"I will give you one last chance, Landon. Submit to me and join the new order of the Federation. I can allow you to keep your original body with the person you designate."
After easily dealing with the elves who wanted to escape, the Speaker turned his gaze back to Landon.
"...Although I don't understand why His Majesty the Speaker thinks so highly of me, please give up. I will never join your camp!"
Gritting his teeth and half-kneeling on the ground, Landon raised his head with an effort, looking at the scorching sun high in the sky with a pale face.
Although he had been seriously injured, he still held his head high and his spirit remained undiminished.
"Why are you resisting so much? As long as you nod, you and your companions can survive and even hold high positions in the new order of the Federation. Isn't that great?"
Looking down at Landon lying on the ground indifferently, the Speaker's words were somewhat confusing.
"I can tell you why I am paying attention to you. Because you are the agent of destiny. The camp you are in will be favored by destiny, and everything will develop very smoothly.
Those who are hostile to you will be negatively affected by fate accordingly, and will often encounter unexpected problems and fail in their work.
I have also heard about your ideals. You want to build a world without class oppression, where everyone is equal, warm, and full of hope for tomorrow.
And when all the civilians in the federation have constructed their bodies, your ideal social order will become a reality.
In the new federation, my construction kingdom will promote the maximization of production efficiency and technological advancement.
The social order will achieve maximum stability, and each class and small group will follow its preset rules to maximize their capabilities. This will be the most important milestone in the history of human evolution.
Everyone will know who they are and where they belong, and the construct network will ensure they are in the right place to best use their abilities.
My rule will, with astonishing efficiency, bring the comprehensive national strength of the entire federation to a new level, and the entire society will be like a huge well-functioning structure.
Those criminals will also be punished appropriately according to correct and enlightened laws, and all this will be done under the supervision of the construction network to ensure absolute fairness and justice.
Even those managers in high positions cannot oppress grassroots constructors without reason, because that violates the construction law and will also be punished by the construction network.
Isn’t this the world you dream of?”
"…So, what about freedom? In your conception, people have lost the most fundamental independence as a human being."
Faced with the Speaker's remarks, although Landon was a little shaken, he still found problems in the perfect society described by the Speaker.
"At the end of the day, this is just a virtual world built with your thoughts."
"Gain and sacrifice are inseparable. They have gained immortal bodies and powerful strength, so they must pay an equal price."
The Speaker smiled coldly.
"Yes, their minds are still in the virtual world, and the things they enjoy are also virtual."
"But, Landon, where else do you think such a world where everyone is equal and everyone has hope for tomorrow can exist except in this virtual dream?"
"No need to say more, the Light of Hope will never join your evil camp!"
Landon shook his head firmly, and secretly asked Dark Crow to send Leah Anvis and others away in advance.
"In that case, I can only regretfully ask you and your companions to set off."
Watching Lanton's reaction indifferently, the Speaker finally gave up the idea of winning him over.
"Now... huh?!"
However, when the Speaker was about to crush Landon to death, he suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from the outside world.
