"Illusionary realm generated... Current loading difficulty multiplier: 10."
The scene in the city lord's mansion changes, and we are once again immersed in a starry sky.
Unlike last time, this time the Abyss's attack was much more ferocious than Jiang Yan had imagined.
Almost instantly, several times more red dots appeared from various worlds.
Caught off guard, one-tenth of the carefully constructed defensive line was destroyed in an instant.
Jiang Yan's pupils contracted slightly as his divine sense swept over the area.
A lower-level demon god actually appeared in the first wave of the abyss's attack!
Based on past experience, the Abyss usually takes a gradual approach when attacking ordinary planes.
Just like the thirtieth Abyss Trial in their previous life, it seemed as if they were being deliberately teased, intentionally maintaining an evenly matched contest, and even subtly giving them hope of a comeback.
Only at the very end will a demon-level monster appear to deliver the final blow, destroying everything.
"It seems that the final battle decades from now will be far more brutal than we imagined."
Jiang Yan seemed to be deep in thought.
Although it is unknown how the Mechanical Overlord derived its conclusion, given its computing power, it is certainly not unfounded.
"However, it's not entirely a bad thing. At least it proves that what the senior said was correct."
Jiang Yan recalled the conclusion he had heard when he went to the Star Empire.
Abyss seems to be intentionally putting his opponent in a state of extreme emotional fluctuation, and he speculates that this emotional fluctuation may allow Abyss to gain greater power.
Now, almost all living beings in all realms have become his followers, and under the blessing of faith, it is difficult for them to experience intense emotional fluctuations.
So Abyss stopped pretending and went all out from the start.
Thinking it over, Jiang Yan continued to look at the various planes.
Under the command of the Mechanical Overlord, the corresponding god-level powerhouses were immediately teleported to various realms through the faith channel to resist the demon god, which was how the offensive was withstood.
And the soldiers he had trained at great expense over the years did not disappoint him.
Despite the enemy being several times stronger and more numerous than before, the defenders from all sides showed no fear and, relying on their war machines and defensive structures, tenaciously resisted the attack.
On the main battlefield, the number of Abyss Supremes also increased by hundreds. The scene of the gods besieging the "Abyss Demon Emperor" was no longer there, as they were all entangled with their respective opponents.
Only Loshia and he himself remained to face the Demon Emperor.
After advancing to the highest level and absorbing all the power of the fragments of the ancient Netherworld, the Law of Reincarnation has grown to an extremely powerful level.
At the same time, the Zerg Overlord in the Reincarnation Pool can also unleash its full power.
With the added boost of the upgraded "Natural Disaster," Jiang Yan's strength is now no weaker than that of a "normal" Supreme.
For a time, the two of them could only defend against the "Abyss Demon Emperor's" attack, but the opponent could not easily break through.
Ten days...twenty days...
A month later, the situation suddenly changed.
Loshia's power has accumulated to the point where she can directly rival the second form of the Demon Emperor.
With his hands free, Jiang Yan, like a dimensional being lowered, quickly helped his companions defeat the Abyss Supreme, then destroyed the passage, and subsequently joined forces to return and besiege the Demon Emperor, replicating the scenario from the previous simulation.
The four large characters “Simulated Victory” appeared again.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan showed no joy; instead, he frowned.
This was not the victory he wanted.
Their understanding of the "Abyss Demon Emperor" mostly came from that battle in the illusion.
But that was 4000 epochs ago.
Judging from the previous encounter with the Demon Emperor's avatar in the Abyss Interlayer, and the fact that the Demon Emperor, with his God-level strength, could even exchange blows with the supreme "Zerg Overlord," it's clear that the opponent is definitely stronger.
This victory in the simulation was purely due to Loshia's bug-level passive ability, which allowed her to surpass top-tier combat power.
But when the battle actually begins, it remains to be seen whether the "Abyss Demon Emperor" still has hidden strength, or whether the Abyss has any other trump cards up its sleeve.
Placing all hopes on Losia defeating the Demon Emperor is too uncertain.
If the opponent is hiding their strength or has some targeted killing move, then it's a complete disaster.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan gave the order again:
"Mechanical Overlord, with the same difficulty multiplier, limits Loshia's strength cap to slightly below that of the Abyss Demon Emperor."
After all, there is no second chance in the real battlefield eighty years later. The purpose of simulation is to find loopholes and flaws in the defense line, not to deceive ourselves with such meaningless victories.
"Instructions received, third simulated reset in progress, please wait..."
"A new illusion has been generated, simulation begins..."
The same scenes were repeated one by one.
However, this time, due to the limitation on the upper limit of Loshia's strength growth, the main battlefield maintained a delicate balance, and neither side could break through first, which eventually turned into a protracted war of attrition.
One month...six months...one year...five years...
One side is infinite, while the other possesses the healing and resurrection abilities of the Holy Light pantheon.
The two sides fought fiercely for ten years without a clear winner.
"Fortunately, there is the Mechanical Overlord."
As Jiang Yan observed the battle, he felt the power of this creation more and more.
If it were anyone else, even a supreme being, maintaining real-time control and command over the entire universe for ten consecutive years, their mind and body would likely be exhausted, and they would be prone to making mistakes at any moment.
Only such a pure machine can remain calm and execute decisions with the highest success rate.
After all, reality isn't a shonen manga; it won't suddenly unleash its full potential and turn the tide of battle just by shouting "This is our bond."
In other words, adrenaline and on-the-spot breakthroughs are also part of the calculation; doing your best in every step is the guarantee of victory.
"Praise the great third emperor, praise science."
Jiang Yan sighed in admiration and continued reading.
Ten years...twelve years...
The evenly matched situation was broken in the seventeenth year.
It begins to emerge in some peripheral, small worlds within the variables.
Although the Mechanical Overlord promptly arranged for a god-level powerhouse to restrain the Abyss Demon God, the aftershocks of the continuous battles between the two sides over the past decade severely damaged the space and its origin.
These small worlds gradually became unsustainable and began to teeter on the brink of destruction.
After all, the Abyss Demon God's goal is destruction, and he won't deliberately control his power or show mercy.
Soon, starting from the periphery, countless red dots took the lead, spreading like a virus, and more and more parts of the world began to succumb.
On the main battlefield, more abyssal passages emerged, and the number of abyssal supreme beings gradually surpassed that of the Alliance of All Realms. One after another, the gods of various pantheons began to fall, and the army was forced to retreat and defend the most heavily fortified Holy Realm.
By the eighty-seventh year, all worlds except the Holy Realm had fallen.
Countless red dots of light surrounded us from all directions.
In the 102nd year, the protective array of the Holy Realm was breached, and all the powerful beings were submerged in the endless tide of demons.
Four bright red characters emerged from the void:
"Simulation failed."
