Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 565 Erasing
Zhang Jie saw the gray giant shrouded in mist and clouds, and sneered... He hated those kinds of inexplicable attacks the most, well, maybe it was Freddy's PTSD.

But if it's a physical enemy... Eat my mental energy impact!
The previously invisible barrier of telekinesis surged upwards at this moment. If the telekinesis had merely been a barrier between the top and bottom, like a vast ocean concealing deadly intent, then at this moment, that illusion of calm was shattered. The surging, invisible tide rose from below, every inch wrapped in boundless violence. Amidst the flashing lightning, the counter-current of telekinesis was like countless blades, relentlessly pointing upwards!

The large, blurry gray hand was shattered into pieces and then vanished without a trace. From the moment it broke apart to its disappearance, there was no dissipation process; it was like the sudden disappearance of a monster's corpse in an old video game, leaving not a single trace.

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Jie felt a surge of telekinetic energy rising from beneath his feet, lifting him upwards. As he ascended, blinding lightning swirled around him before he raised his hand and sent it overhead.

An invisible telekinetic force transformed into a passage leading directly to the outside of this space, and within it surged chaotic lightning! The already incredibly fast lightning, accelerated by this telekinetic passage, shot from the ground into the sky, directly piercing through the blurry shape above and penetrating into the gray cube.

"Oh ho, so you have defensive measures?" Zhang Jie naturally knew how effective his attack was. He sensed the lightning entering the core, but it hadn't caused the best possible damage. Although he didn't quite understand the operating logic of this data world, and didn't even understand why he could use his abilities so recklessly, he figured that using electricity could interfere with the opponent.

After all, this is not an ordinary current... This is a current with extraordinary properties, capable of interfering with data bodies centered around runes, which seems plausible... right?

Using telekinesis to accelerate is a method Zhang Jie is currently researching. Mu Xiang had given him an idea: to use powerful microscopic abilities to concentrate telekinesis into a single stream, then compress the central part into a sphere, and use the compression of the telekinetic energy to propel that sphere out at extremely high speed.

Zhang Jie readily agreed, but he hadn't yet unleashed the theoretical power of this technique... While it was more powerful than direct telekinesis, it didn't seem quite as significant. According to Mu Xiang and Liu Xi, using the runes related to the "vibration" technique to drive the current could also achieve electromagnetic connection, unleashing an extremely terrifying acceleration attack.

"Damn it, I'm a complete brute... I don't know anything about electromagnetic channels or any of that nonsense, but I can still wrap an electric current in a telekinetic channel and shoot it out," Zhang Jie said, explaining his initial inability to figure it out.

That powerful combined attack was Zhang Jie's easiest move to use right now, and its power was not to be underestimated... But he was certain that the structure centered around that rune had not been destroyed.

Zhang Jie was slightly surprised, but he didn't know that if that huge data entity had consciousness, it would probably be trembling with fear right now... because this super network weapon, which the referee committee called "Adam," was essentially a huge data erasure entity!
Even when Adam is in hibernation, its many powers are supporting this deep network, and even the entire Earth... Monitoring internal and external networks, deleting illegal information and redundant data—these essential functions are only a tiny part of Adam's capabilities.

When activated, it becomes the master of the entire cyberspace… Over the years, it's not that no one has noticed the many strange aspects of human civilization; there have been some rebellions against the Tribunal. However, most of these rebellions were suppressed by the mech army before they even reached the deep network. The few rebellions that did penetrate the network were also easily defeated by Adam.

Unless the technology is far superior to that of the deep network in terms of its layer, any attack targeting the deep network will be directly eliminated by Adam; and the AI ​​weapons that are used as the rebels' trump cards are nothing compared to Adam. It is also highly unlikely that the deep network's servers can be destroyed.

Although this sophisticated virtual reality network hasn't yet escaped the limitations of storage media, the physical servers of the Deep Network are indeed not on Earth… This is Adam being awakened again after many years, officially deployed as a powerful weapon… In the eyes of the judging committee, with its data erasure capabilities, dealing with Zhang Jie, this suspected AI virus intruder, shouldn't be difficult. At least, it should be easier than the last operation, right?
Adam's last opponent was a terrifying man from Tokyo University... As the chief scientist, he silently destroyed all the backups of Tokyo University's top leadership's consciousness, while Adam, in dealing with his cyberattack, had a significant portion of his logic cracked, almost 70% of his logic collapsed.

Only after that man disappeared did the Tribunal dare to launch an investigation into the incident... The conclusion was that he, who had hindered the division of Tokyo University and its integration into the postwar ruling system, and who had almost caused the Deep Network to collapse by his own efforts, had at that time devoted almost all his energy to Tokyo University's mecha research!

Although these research results, which originally belonged only to the University of Tokyo, were secretly received by the Tribunal and then shared by the Allied Powers and the United States, the man became even more terrifying in the hearts of the Tribunal members who knew the inside story.

Because he seemed to be just being casual, making a few random moves...

Adam, now reactivated, is about to unleash the power of data deletion to deal with Zhang Jie...

Zhang Jie's attack failed, but he wasn't in a hurry. His mental power and supreme authority had already concealed everything in this data space as an illusion, making it impossible for anyone other than the Zhongzhou Team to accurately observe what was happening here.

The layers upon layers of telekinetic energy were still surging outwards from this data space when another mist-like distortion appeared outside the gray cube. After the distortion, the surrounding gray cubes dimmed. Zhang Jie knew this wasn't some kind of power drain; after all, this was a data space, and the other party was a local—how could they possibly possess such a mysterious ability?

Upon closer inspection, his brow furrowed slightly... those gray cubes representing other zones hadn't lost anything; rather, they had been forcibly pulled out of the level of this space.

"Is this to prevent friendly fire from being accidentally hit by a deadly attack...?"

Zhang Jie shook his head, and then saw the giant humanoid figure return to its original state within the mist, once again bringing its hands together in this direction. Adam was still quite a distance away from Zhang Jie, but this move made Zhang Jie's heart skip a beat.

Those surging psychic powers were simply erased!
