Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 585 Prori Spaceship

[Imagination] is a conceptual being that can fly through the void, unbound by time and space, and its speed can be infinitely fast.

Although the disc-shaped spaceship was extremely fast, it was still subject to the laws of physics. Thus, in less than three breaths, [Imagination] caught up with it and passed directly through the outer deck of the spaceship, entering its interior.

Lei Chi opened his mouth and inhaled, and [Imagination] transformed into a point of light, flew into his mouth, and returned to the fourth universe within Lei Chi's body.

"Who is it?"

"Who are you?"

"Intruder! Call the guards immediately!"

"Intruder detected in the power compartment. Calling for combat personnel. Requesting emergency support!"

"Don't move, hands up, or I'll shoot."

Shouts and cries rang out around Leichi, creating a noisy commotion.

Lei Chi glanced around and found himself in a rather spacious cabin. Inside were many people wearing white coats, who appeared frightened and flustered by his arrival.

"These are a group of NPCs..."

Lei Chi immediately saw through the true nature of the people in front of him. Instead of making things difficult for them, he took a step forward, shifted space, and arrived directly outside the main control cabin of the spaceship.

The main control cabin is protected by special energy, so Lei Chi cannot move directly inside. However, the Kaituo light brain has already detected the situation inside. Lei Chi reached out and touched the door of the control cabin. With a hum, the door immediately disintegrated, turning into countless fine sand-like particles that fell to the ground.

Just two breaths later, Lei Chi stepped into the main control cabin, his gaze fixed intently on [Infinity].

【Infinite】Leaning back in the high-backed chair, his expression was calm and composed.

"Who are you?"

He first asked Lei Chi.

Lei Chi walked over to a chair and sat down. He looked around the control cabin with interest and said, "Remember this, I am the Great Unity!"

"Unification?"

[Infinite] frown.

Lei Chi continued, "The war in Bliss City is related to you, isn't it? I'll give you two choices: one, take your people and leave, handing over this spaceship to me, and you'll live; two, I'll seize this spaceship, and you'll all perish!"

[Infinite]'s face darkened, and he said, "You are far too arrogant!"

"Arrogant?" Lei Chi shook his head. "You have offended my Bliss City, and I have already shown you mercy by not killing you on the spot."

"Hmph, are you sure you can seize this spaceship?"

Lei Chi nodded and said, "Yes, this is not a difficult matter for me. I advise you to obediently disembark. Don't think that just because your true form is not here, you can act recklessly!"

"The original body isn't here? What do you mean?"

[Infinite] was suddenly startled.

"Don't you know you're just an avatar? Let me see. Your true body is hidden in an unknown spacetime, but it can still monitor and observe you. You must be an independent avatar he created, so it's possible you're unaware of his existence..."

Lei Chi spoke slowly. In his vision, behind the "infinity" was a thread, the other end of which disappeared into the void.

That thread can be described as a "causal" line, invisible to ordinary people, but Lei Chi, being a sixteen-dimensional being, can directly read a large amount of information from that thread.

The existence that he previously found unfathomable was not the [infinity] before him, but the will that was observing along that thread.

"Could it be...?"

[Infinite] narrowed his eyes, then suddenly laughed, saying, "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! I'm just an avatar created by the real me! When exactly did he create it? Hahahaha! This is like a bolt from the blue for me. But thinking about it carefully, it's very much in line with my style. So the real me, who can observe everything about me, must have mastered the technology of simulating the universe. His technological means must be even superior to mine!"

"Your emotions are very unstable!" Lei Chi said. "Your main body seems to be planning to shut you down. Do you need my help?"

"Please!" A resolute light shone in [Infinite]'s eyes. "Help me break free from his control, and I'll give you this spaceship!"

"good!"

Lei Chi nodded, reached out and pointed into the air, summoning his Great Unification Divine Power to annihilate the thread behind [Infinity] in a higher dimension.

[Infinite] seemed to sense something, and his eyes lit up. He looked at Lei Chi seriously and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency! I know that my time is running out. He will not allow a puppet that has escaped his control to live for too long. Now, I am willing to tell Your Excellency everything I know about him. Please make sure Your Excellency eliminates him."

"Interesting?" Lei Chi said. "Are you betraying yourself, using me to eliminate you?"

[Infinite] nodded and shook his head, saying, "Although I may be an avatar he created, now I am me and he is him. He fooled himself and should bear the risks. He fooled me and should be exterminated."

"To have such thoughts, you're quite something." Lei Chi thought to himself that this was a ruthless person. He then said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Your soul has already begun to annihilate, and you really won't live much longer."

[Infinite] paused slightly, then said, "I don't know when he created me. In my memory, my name is [Infinite], and I'm a player from the First Era. I think that should be true... Since there's an avatar like me, based on his personality, he must have created many more. My ultimate ideal is to transcend everything, achieve infinity, control the system, and dominate the entire God Realm. I think that's also his ideal. To achieve this ideal, I painstakingly developed the simulated universe. He should have mastered this technology as well, but the current simulated universe is far from enough to realize the ultimate ideal..."

At this point, [Infinite]'s eyelids suddenly started twitching uncontrollably.

"He made his move!"

[Infinite] snorted softly, "I suspect he's in the Tomb of the Gods. He'll steal the system's power. Your Excellency, you must destroy him!"

As he spoke, white, viscous liquid flowed from the corners of [Infinite]'s eyes, nostrils, and ears, yet he still gave Lei Chi a metal plate the size of his palm.

"This is the key to Prori's control. With it, you are the true master of this spaceship! I discovered Prori three eras ago. I know it comes from outer space and is a powerful spaceship. Please treat it well. Also, this metal plate contains the secrets of simulating the universe; I'm giving it to you as well..."

After saying this, [Infinite] knew that his time was coming to an end, so he sat cross-legged on the ground.

Three minutes later, his head turned into a white paste and he showed no signs of life.

At this very moment, in the infinite distance, within a mysterious divine tomb, a massive pyramid-shaped mausoleum collapsed with a deafening roar, revealing a figure within.

The figure had the exact same face as [Infinite], but in reality, he was the true [Infinite].

"Unification, huh...?"

[Infinite] slowly frowned. "Seems like a tough opponent. Hmph, that avatar is too foolish, actually helping outsiders and even handing over the secrets of the simulated universe... It's a pity I can't leave here yet, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain!"

He shook his head, then slowly closed his eyes, as if he were practicing some kind of secret technique.

Lei Chi, meanwhile, was studying the spaceship key that resembled a metal plate.

As [Imagination] caught up, Lei Chi realized that this spaceship was extraordinary. Although it looked no different from other spaceships, it actually possessed a soul. It could be said that it was a special life form with life, only it looked like a spaceship and had the functions of a spaceship.

Moreover, the spaceship is still growing and seems to be in its infancy.

Such a spaceship is a marvel of the universe, and for this reason, Lei Chi intends to bring it into the Fifth Universe and make it one of his collectibles.

Lei Chi quickly grasped the secrets of the key and used it to control the disc-shaped spaceship, causing it to slowly stop at the top of a small mountain.

"Leave the ship and go out to see the vast world. I believe you will surely gain something from it..."

Lei Chi gathered all the crew members of Proline together, briefly explained the situation to them, and then sent them away.

Those researchers, guards, liaisons, etc., are all system NPCs, and their combat power is generally weak. There is not a single god-level one.

They had grown accustomed to life in Proline, and their sudden expulsion left them all bewildered.

"Sir, please let us stay!"

"I was born inside this spaceship. You want me to leave? Where am I supposed to go?"

"Please take us in! I'll work even harder than before!"

"I still have two maintenance tasks to complete. Great being, could you please allow me to finish my work before I leave?"

"Where can we go...?"

Seeing that the NPCs were not moving, Lei Chi was somewhat helpless. After thinking deeply for a while, he decided to leave all the NPCs behind so that they could continue to live in Proline and make it easier to maintain the operation of the spaceship.

Since he had decided to take in these NPCs, Lei Chi would not allow them to continue as intelligent life forms created by the system, but instead intended to give them real life forms that could leave the divine realm.

Fortunately, these NPCs are all weak, so creating realistic life forms for them is simple and doesn't require many resources.

As for the information about the simulated universe recorded in the spaceship key, Lei Chi wasn't very interested, because he was playing a much more advanced game—not simulation, but true creation.

However, some of the algorithms for simulating the universe were still useful, and Lei Chi had the Kaituo optical brain analyze and learn them.

About half an hour later, Lei Chi returned to Paradise City.

The battle for Elysium is not over yet; many mechanical soldiers are still invading Elysium.

The pace of the battle has been completely taken over by the Elysium City side.

The Lord of Bliss City, standing on a lotus flower, was directing his subordinates to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers.

As for the Great Old One, Tuskar Morty, he was nowhere to be seen. Lei Chi glanced around and found him in the new arena space created by the boxer Akxi, wearing leather gloves and swaying from side to side, fighting against the boxer Akxi in the ring.

This mighty Old One looked utterly helpless; he was bound by the rules of boxing and could only engage in a primitive and low-level boxing duel with the boxer Akshi.

bang bang bang...

The boxer Aksi's attacks kept landing on his face, making him dizzy and disoriented. There were still scores displayed above the ring. At this point, he only had 3 points, while the boxer Aksi had 3345 points!

Lei Chi immediately saw the mystery of this arena. Those who entered it would be suppressed by the peculiar laws of boxing, and could only use boxing to decide the outcome, unable to use any other means.

Just like Morty at this moment, even though he is an Old One, he could not escape the influence of the boxing law and could only fight the boxer Akshi in the ring.

Under these circumstances, it would be almost impossible for him to beat Akxi in the ring, but it would also be extremely difficult for the boxer Akxi to kill Morty.

Because the damage from boxing is too low, while Morty has an enormous amount of health, still exceeding 100 billion gold, a boxer can easily hit him, which would only reduce his health by a few dozen points.

In addition, Lei Chi discovered that this arena space has a time limit; once the time is up, it will automatically break and send the player away.

"It's quite interesting that boxer Akxi's divine power has turned into this..."

Lei Chi had no intention of interfering in the boxing match between Morty and Akxi. Instead, he took a step and headed to Little Turtle Island.

He found the Supreme Treasure.

If there's any treasure in the Divine Realm that has captured Lei Chi's attention, it's Supreme Treasure.

If possible, Lei Chi would like to incorporate it into his own inner universe.

For Lei Chi, this was much more difficult than turning Akxi into a real life form.

If it were simply a matter of transferring Supreme Treasure into one's own inner universe to become a real life form, that wouldn't be difficult. The difficulty lies in ensuring that he retains his current functions.

The ability of Supreme Treasure to create cultivation techniques was actually achieved by borrowing the system's computing power.

Leichi cannot provide the computing power required for this system.

"The Pioneer Optical Brain has computing power and can provide some assistance. The Prori spaceship also has computing equipment, which may also be able to provide support... There's no rush at the moment; we can take our time to make arrangements."

Lei Chi silently made some plans. He was not in a hurry to take Supreme Treasure into his inner universe. After a brief contact with him, he gained an understanding of the current situation of the Beast Tower in Bliss City.

Today, Elysium has a total of 19 nine-tiered towers.

[Great Mighty Tiger] was the first beast tower to be upgraded to the ninth tier. Later, the city lord of Bliss City successively upgraded [Meat Bun], [Six Eyes], [Swimming Fin], [Bear Ba], [Poor Ha], [Gap], [Great Jade Rhinoceros Beetle], [Thousand Illusion Divine Beast], as well as the Four Primordial Saints, the Two Primordial Demons, and the Four Heavenly Kings to the ninth tier.

In addition, the Four Great Monkey Kings have grown into eighth-tier towers over the past few hundred years, as have the Four Heavenly Spirits, all of whom are now eighth-tier beings.

With so many high-level beast towers that can form a technique, if the Lord of Bliss City were to take it seriously and cultivate it, his combat power would not be weak.

Unfortunately, when Lei Chi asked Supreme Treasure, he was told that the Lord of Bliss City hadn't contacted him for over two hundred years.
