Chapter 564: Stage Victory
Before Jie Ming could think of a specific method, his magic network terminal vibrated.
He looked down and saw that “Ashheart” Martin had directly issued him a task.
【Expeditionary Force Command Emergency Task】
【Task Content: Use your technique capable of truly killing information beings to cooperate with high-ranking wizards in battlefield harvesting】
【Task Location: Central Altar of the Main Battlefield】
【Task Requirement: Execute immediately】
Jie Ming looked at the text on the light screen and took a deep breath.
Wizard Martin was finally getting serious.
He turned and flew toward the main battlefield without hesitation. Along the way, traces of fierce combat were visible everywhere.
Damaged arrays, collapsed cannon fodder units, and wizards rushing to support the battlefield.
The battle in the sky remained locked in stalemate, but Jie Ming could feel that the high-ranking wizards’ suppression was gradually weakening.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to continue; they simply couldn’t hold on any longer.
The number of information beings was simply too exaggerated, and they continued pouring out endlessly from the Information Plane.
Jie Ming increased his speed.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the center of the main battlefield.
A massive array was operating here, it was the Fate Subsystem connection altar he had personally set up earlier.
At this moment, the area around the altar was already crowded with people.
More than a dozen seventh-ring wizards sat cross-legged at the edge of the altar, their spiritual force surging madly into the array.
Further out were over a hundred sixth-ring wizards, also outputting at full power.
Their spiritual force was linked together through the Fate Subsystem, forming a massive computing network that was fiercely clashing with the information beings’ army in the sky.
Upon seeing Jie Ming land, the nearest seventh-ring wizard immediately stood up.
“Jie Ming is here! Make way!”
The crowd automatically parted, opening a path straight to the very center of the altar.
Jie Ming did not stand on ceremony. He strode quickly through the crowd and stepped onto the core of the altar.
Beneath his feet, countless runes lit up simultaneously.
These were the external ports of the Fate Subsystem that he had personally inscribed. At this moment, they were operating at full capacity, their light so blinding that it was almost impossible to keep one’s eyes open.
Jie Ming sat down cross-legged.
“Fellow wizards, I will now fully mobilize the power of the Fate Subsystem.” His voice spread across the entire area through spiritual force. “Please continue maintaining the operation of the array and provide me with computing power support.”
“Proceed without worry.”
A steady voice from a seventh-ring wizard came from behind.
Jie Ming closed his eyes.
At his brow, a speck of golden light slowly brightened.
Fate Subsystem – full activation.
In that instant, Jie Ming felt as if he had transformed into a god overlooking all living beings.
Countless streams of information flooded into his consciousness.
The defensive arrays of the entire ship plane, the spiritual fluctuations of all wizards, every leap and every trace of energy change from the information beings in the sky… This information was vast enough to burst the spiritual sea of any fifth-ring wizard, yet at this moment, it was being orderly diverted and processed by the Fate Subsystem.
Jie Ming could feel the computing power he was mobilizing rising explosively.
This rise was not linear, but exponential.
When he had used it alone before, the computing power provided by the Fate Subsystem had only been the tip of the iceberg—after all, he was only fifth-ring, and his spiritual endurance limit was fixed.
But now, with over a hundred high-ranking wizards providing support simultaneously and the entire altar array serving as a relay, the true power of the Fate Subsystem was finally unleashed.
The computing power amplification provided by the Fate Subsystem was not fixed.
Normally, it consisted of two parts: one fixed value and one amplification coefficient. Leaving the coefficient aside, Jie Ming had never before touched the upper limit of the fixed value.
After all, the upper limit of the fixed amplification value was determined by the number of living beings within the Incense Fire Divine Dao, that is the computing power base formed by the faith of hundreds of billions of believers within the Incense Fire Divine Dao.
With Jie Ming’s current strength, he would normally never reach that limit.
But now, under everyone’s support, he had touched it.
The golden light at his brow surged violently, transforming into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
In the sky, Martin, who was engaged in fierce combat, suddenly turned his head. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then he smiled.
“Good lad.”
Martin no longer hesitated. His spiritual force erupted fully as he connected with the plane’s origin.
“Since you’ve come, then don’t leave! Plane Lockdown!”
Formless law power spread from his body, instantly enveloping the entire ship plane.
Space solidified, time slowed, and the massive black fissure began to tremble violently. The entire plane was “locked down” under his control.
On the other side of the fissure, the information beings preparing to surge out suddenly slammed into an invisible wall.
They froze.
Immediately after came a frenzied assault.
But a plane lockdown fully executed by an eighth-ring wizard was not something that could be broken through so easily.
Some information beings had already sensed that something was wrong and committed suicide to escape the moment the lockdown was applied.
But quite a few had not reacted in time.
Jie Ming seized this opportunity.
“Information Weaving!”
He suddenly clenched both hands in a grasping motion, fully activating the Information Weaving spell.
Under the support of the Fate Subsystem, his perception was amplified to the extreme.
The tens of thousands of information beings in the sky that had failed to retreat were no longer blurry balls of light in his eyes. Countless glowing thin lines extended from their cores, passing through the fissure and connecting to the mother network deep within the Information Plane.
Jie Ming took a deep breath.
Then, he slashed down with both hands simultaneously.
Tens of millions of causal lines were severed in the same instant.
The outer energy of those information beings convulsed violently.
They sensed mortal danger. Their connection to the mother network had been cut; they could not teleport back and could not resurrect.
They had become isolated islands, lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
“Now!”
Martin’s voice resounded across heaven and earth.
More than a dozen seventh-ring wizards struck at the same time.
They had waited for this moment for far too long.
Information-type spells of various forms blasted into the sky, striking those agitated information beings with precision.
The information beings wanted to resist and counterattack.
But with their connections severed and their computing network shattered, they were merely tens of thousands of isolated individuals.
Facing more than a dozen seventh-ring wizards who had been holding back a bellyful of anger, along with over a hundred sixth-ring wizards watching like tigers, these beings had no right to resist at all.
For a time, the battlefield situation inside the ship plane could not even be called a massacre – it could only be described as “harvesting.”
One after another, the cores of information beings collapsed, their outer energy disintegrated, and then all their energy and information collapsed inward to condense.
The sky was filled with dense clusters of blue crystals that fell from above like hailstones under the pull of gravity.
The wizards below had long been prepared.
Countless hands reached out, precisely identifying the units they had killed and nimbly catching the blue crystals before storing them in spatial equipment.
Jie Ming opened his eyes and watched the one-sided harvesting in the sky. The golden light of the Fate Subsystem slowly receded.
He had completed his task.
A moment later, the core of the final information being shattered and transformed into a blue crystal that fell.
The sky briefly regained calm, leaving only the fissure that continued to tremble violently.
Martin’s figure appeared beside Jie Ming.
He looked at the blue crystals being collected by the wizards and suddenly threw his head back in laughter.
“Good! Good! Good!”
Saying “good” three times in a row showed just how delighted he was at this moment.
“Jie Ming, you brat did well!” Martin gave Jie Ming’s shoulder a heavy pat. “You deserve the greatest credit for turning the battle around this time!”
Jie Ming smiled and was about to reply modestly.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He abruptly turned his head and looked toward the fissure in the sky.
On the other side of the fissure, the information beings that had been blocked no longer assaulted the lockdown, but they also did not leave.
They simply floated there quietly, their pure white light fluctuating violently.
Jie Ming could sense that they were “watching.”
Across the plane lockdown and the endless void, they were watching the ship plane, watching those blue crystals, watching Jie Ming.
Although he could not perceive their gaze or know their emotions, one thing Jie Ming could be certain of:
These information beings had become even more irritable.
Or rather, frenzied.
“Senior Martin.”
Jie Ming’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
“They… are about to go all out.”
