Chapter 031 : If Only Sirin Hadn't Been So Reckless Back Then...

The Moon, a satellite approximately 380,000 kilometers away from the third planet of the solar system, Earth.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers...

This distance is the limit that human technology in this era can barely reach.

Ling ke knew that if the current world followed the original storyline, then after the "Earth's God" was born... within a few years, the human civilization here would begin exploring Venus and Mars.

However...

"Aside from Welt Yang, who crossed parallel worlds through the 'Stargate'..."

"The people here still haven't been able to rely on their own strength (their own developed technology) to leave the solar system."

"After all, even the 'Ark Project' of the previous civilization era was cut short, becoming a 'delivery' that could only be opened after more than 50,000 years."

Inside the Dominion Theater, Ling ke's true body came to the above conclusions.

"So..."

His gaze fell on the system screen in front of him.

Inside, it clearly displayed:

[Game Character Template: Medivac]

[From: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty]

[Character Traits: Health Mechanism, Infinite Energy, Infinite Ammo, Indestructible Equipment, Heavy Armor - Mechanical Unit...]

[Game Skills: Advanced Healing AI, Rapid Deployment Tube, Point Defense Drone, Load, Unload, Heal, Afterburners...]

[Background Talents: Medical Bay, Trauma Station, Nanobot Repair, Laser Scalpel, Stim Pack, Dual-Channel Resuscitator, Warp System...]

[Related Introduction: Full Name: G-226 Medical Transport, modified from the APOD-33 Transport, can be remotely controlled...]

This was a brand-new game character template that Ling ke had drawn less than ten minutes ago.

It was precisely because of its appearance that he decided to slightly modify the details of his plan on a whim.

Yes, on a whim.

Currently, Ling ke's existing forces, which could be infinitely resurrected, numbered in the tens of thousands.

With this base, after recently studying a large amount of knowledge related to "combat," he had already divided hundreds of Domination Puppets to form a think tank.

Hmm, or it could also be called: the General Staff.

To this day, aside from the General Staff, Ling ke also has an Information Department, Defense Department, Intelligence Department... and so on.

With them, Ling ke no longer needs to personally handle many trivial matters.

First of all, he no longer needs to constantly stare at the system interface, watching to see if it has brought him any new surprises.

Because the members of the General Staff will, in real-time, based on his current situation and new gains, fine-tune, modify, and formulate more feasible plans.

Right now, the plan Ling ke is executing has over a thousand contingency plans listed just to deal with emergencies.

And this number is still increasing as one new game character panel after another arrives.

Thus...

"Our plan details are constantly changing."

"This approach is quite foolish for an army composed of a large number of humans."

"Because their efficiency in transmitting information to each other is far inferior to ours."

"Moreover, trust, mood... there are too many variables that affect the details of the plan."

"Only we, who are 'united as one,' can perfectly utilize its strengths."

"Namely: making the enemy completely unable to guess what we really want to do."

Right.

Ling ke knew that even though he could use the super learning ability brought by the "Herrscher of Domination" paired with the "World-Ending Player" identity to continuously enrich himself at a rate of thousands or even tens of thousands of times, he could still very likely be outsmarted by those world-class geniuses.

No way, the people he's facing now are Otto, Einstein, Tesla... and possibly even Mobius, Vill-V...

He would not underestimate his enemies.

Therefore...

"A large number of 'feints' will keep these enemies busy analyzing my true intentions."

"Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, blended together."

"In the end, they won't be able to come up with any answers."

"They can only actively seek to talk to 'me.'"

Look, this loop, after going around in a big circle, has come full circle again.

And as for why the members of Ling ke's General Staff suddenly suggested that he take over the Moon...

"First, the appearance of the Medivac... its background talent's built-in 'Warp System' has already given us a certain degree of interstellar travel capability."

"It can be said that if we're just talking about the efficiency of traveling between Earth and the Moon, we can leave the three major organizations in the dust."

"They have the ability to reach the Moon, but the number of people they can bring, the number of trips they can make, the cost they have to pay... are all forced to be very conservative."

"And us... we have no consumption."

"It is precisely because of this huge gap..."

The Domination Puppets that make up Ling ke's General Staff thought of the Second Honkai Impact storyline, where Sirin's inflated ego led to her foolishly throwing away her life.

Like... she could have just kept throwing meteorites from the Moon, raising her hand a few more times, and she could have destroyed all of humanity.

But instead, she got cocky, returned to Earth herself, and got beaten up left and right.

Looking at this kind of operation from the perspective of an "enemy of humanity," Ling ke really doesn't know how to evaluate.

You know, more than ten years ago, Earth's human civilization couldn't even send a few people to the Moon without great difficulty.

But then Benares just casually flew to the Moon.

And then this huge advantage was completely wasted by Sirin.

Well, what's done is done, no need to dwell on it.

Now...

"Sirin saw the so-called 'Will of Honkai' in the ruins on the Moon."

"And then she achieved her 'multi-core' form."

"Considering that this so-called Will of Honkai is actually a clone of the previous civilization era's super AI 'Prometheus' in disguise... uh~"

"Could it be that she thought Sirin was brainless, so she dared to just throw so many gems at her to play around with?"

Ling ke now had the leisure to make a joke.

Of course, that's a separate matter.

The ruins of the past civilization on the Moon... he hadn't had the means to think about them before, so naturally, he didn't dwell on them.

But now that he had the means, he naturally wanted to take control of them as soon as possible.

Moreover, Sirin knew to throw meteorites when she went to the Moon... although she foolishly abandoned this optimal solution in the end, Ling ke wouldn't miss this incredibly powerful, alternative "orbital weapon."

His idea was simple...

"Simply having my Domination Puppet army go out and kill is still too inefficient in terms of harvesting points."

"If we switch to using meteorites..."

Just look at Sirin's "brief" results: tens of millions of deaths in a matter of days.

"This is the legendary 'Rod from God.'"

Ling ke sneered, then waved his hand...

Whoosh~

Earth, the Australian desert.

Numerous spatial gates opened on the surface.

One after another, "Domination Puppet: Medivacs" emerged.

Their engines were already ignited.

Now, they slowly ascended, the sound of their engines growing louder.

Finally...

Thud~

Thud~

Thud~

Over a hundred "Domination Puppet: Medivacs" activated their warp systems. They set off in groups, like a swarm of shooting stars flying in reverse, heading straight for the bright moon.

At the same time...

"Hmph, I (we) thought Schicksal Headquarters' network system would be more advanced."

Ling ke's subordinates—the Information Department.

Over a hundred "Domination Puppet: Shadows" had already hacked into Schicksal Headquarters.

They severed its external communications, as well as... its monitoring of Earth's space.

In fact, if they wanted to, they could make Schicksal Headquarters fall like "Sokovia" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now.

But...

"Now is not the time."

Inside the Dominion Theater, Ling ke's true body, hidden behind the scenes, smiled slightly, "The protagonist group's 'talk no jutsu' is here."

"What a pity, for the current me..."

He sneered, "There is no 'Talk no Jutsu.'"
