Chapter 351 Main Storyline Finale: Facing the Main Brain

Foreword retracted! This is not a bonus level!

Upon discovering that the entire base was breaking free of its restraints and slowly ascending into the air, Cheng Tian realized that this side mission was not a simple reward level like eating steamed buns and smashing cars, but a genuinely high-difficulty reward level!
The core challenge lies in ensuring the survival of this group of Leias!

"This base is a large spaceship! And it's very likely a space shuttle model!"

Cheng Tian immediately shared what he had seen and the judgment he had made.

"Everyone! Retreat! We can't stay here!"

Azrael reacted quickly and immediately issued the order.

Those Leia people who had fled out of the gate blasted open by the radar due to panic and distrust were now sitting on the ground, staring in terror at the rising ground.

Although the entire base spaceship has not yet risen to a point where jumping is impossible, the sand and rocks that have been flipped up and are still rolling are enough to easily crush a human's fragile body.

At this point, Cheng Tian and his group's main mission had entered its final stage.

[Main quest clues changed, entering the final stage - "Peace Treaty Breaker"]

[Main quest, team quest. As the source of all conflict between the two nations (stars), the "mastermind" hidden behind everyone has activated the large-scale space shuttle function of the core base, attempting to leave Leia and escape to Earth.]

What you need to do is destroy the mainframe and prevent the spaceship from successfully escaping the gravitational pull of Leia before the entire spaceship is completely freed from Leia's gravity.

Basic rewards: 1.5 Chosen Coins, 5 Free Attribute Points, 2 Free Skill Points. (Since the reward distributor remains Azrael, the basic rewards remain unchanged.)

[Additional Hint: The mastermind did indeed control Azrael and the entire resistance, and was the mastermind behind the "Leia planet's first breach of the peace treaty." However, this involves an easily overlooked issue: how exactly did this "mastermind" come to be...?]

Both the Earth Federation and the Principality of Leia possess space combat capabilities, meaning they can engage in combat even when actually in space.

The problem is, these Leia people, who have just been released from their cages, cannot do it.

The fact that the Leia people can interbreed with humans suggests that their origins are similar, and their life characteristics are nearly identical.

Oxygen deprivation, low temperature, vacuum – as the base ascends into the air, these inevitably emerging negative environmental conditions will mercilessly kill these Leias!
Since the gate was blasted open by radar, it naturally lost its sealing effect. What's even more amazing is that Azrael has now lost the authority to move freely inside the base ship. All the doors leading inside are sealed, or rather, they are all under the control of the mainframe, which can open and close them at will.

Given this situation, even if all the filler babies hide deeper into the cabin, it won't help; the mainframe has countless ways to kill them.

After much deliberation, there's only one path left.

That means a direct, violent invasion—breaking into the deepest part of the base before the spaceship fully takes off, eliminating the mastermind, and taking control of the entire spaceship!

Azrael, who was the first to understand this, kicked open the tightly closed door leading to the inner side with a single blow. He immediately placed a small number of guards there to gather the hostages and prevent them from committing suicide, and then led the others to rush inside. Cheng Tian and his group followed immediately, but at this moment, Cheng Tian's mind was constantly thinking about the additional hints, and at the same time, memories of his previous raid on the arcade were also surfacing from the game's world.

In the normal strategy, the four main characters of the Blood Armor Squad would be facing the main AI at this point, and the spaceship would have already entered space.

Evil, of course, cannot defeat justice; more accurately, it cannot defeat the hundreds of coins in the small plastic basket beside Cheng Tian.

We could crush it with a mountain of heads!
But when the mastermind was defeated and the game reached its final, long settlement, the mastermind left behind these words before its death.

Why? Are humans superior to us?
Am I inferior to you humans?
"...Very good! But you must remember! It is you humans yourselves who created a monster like me!"

After saying that, he completely exploded.

Cheng Tian was playing the original Japanese version at the time, and he even took his hands off his waist to shovel takeout fried rice into his mouth, so he still remembers this scene quite clearly.

Coincidentally, Cheng Tian had recently experienced the Ys Origins instance and was quite familiar with things like human evil and the origin of demons. For a moment, his mind wandered, and he began to wonder if there was some strange power system controlling everything in this world.

However, Cheng Tian quickly realized that in a pure science fiction world setting without the intrusion of mecha combat systems, there should be no magical setting like the evil of humanity.

After re-examining the mainframe and confirming that it was indeed an entity like a "brain in a vat," Cheng Tian was more inclined to believe that the mainframe might be a genius scientist similar to Dr. Gero from Dragon Ball, capable of drastically modifying his own body, while simultaneously despising the existence of Earthlings and Leias.

This so-called last words feel more like a strong sense of arrogance, placing oneself above all of humanity, only to have it shattered in front of the very people one despises, followed by a frantic, stubborn final monologue.

Thinking of this, Cheng Tian couldn't help but slap himself, stopping himself from thinking about it further and focusing on taking down the enemy mechs.

Well, sometimes seemingly meaningful dialogue actually has no real meaning. For example, if there are two jujube trees planted in front of the door, it might just be a description of the author looking out the window and seeing jujube trees. It has absolutely nothing to do with any monotonous, lonely, or melancholic atmosphere. All reading comprehension is just the test creator adding their own interpretations.

The mastermind's dying words might really just be something a programmer came up with on a whim and casually stuffed into the game.

On the contrary, when the Chosen Space was constructing the dungeon, in order to make everything presented in the game have a reasonable plot and smooth logic, it had to add a lot of details.

Let's see what reasonable settings will be transformed from the mastermind's dying rant!
Cheng Tian pulled the laser sword out of the enemy crawler mech's cockpit, kicked it to the ground, and continued forward.

Perhaps knowing that sealing the gates would be pointless for the rebels who were determined to cause destruction, when the mission was one-third complete, all the internal doors were opened wide, allowing the rebels to penetrate deeper.

In the vast, empty room at the far end, a gigantic object with three glass domes at the top, containing three brains, appeared before them. However, the leftmost brain was different from the other two; it looked as if it had been stuffed inside a firecracker and exploded from the inside—

This is the mainframe, and the brain that Cheng Tian destroyed in the computing power contest.
