Chapter 565 Biological Brain-Computer Intervention and Lockdown
No sooner had Jieming finished speaking than the sky changed.
The originally gray sky was instantly swallowed up by a pure white light. It wasn't some elemental light, but rather information that was almost materialized.
Countless pieces of information poured down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire ship's plane.
The white waterfall of information surged and churned continuously. Just one glance at it made Jemin feel a sharp pain in his mind.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Martin's voice from "Heart of Ash" resounded throughout the world.
But the enemy's attack came too quickly.
Suddenly, Jemin felt his body sink—the gravity had changed.
The normal gravity suddenly spiked, three times, five times, ten times... almost in the blink of an eye, it rose to more than fifty times.
The surrounding wizards frowned, and some low-level wizards in the expeditionary force who were not good at physical enhancement couldn't help but kneel down on one knee.
Next comes temperature.
The surrounding air was sometimes as cold as an ice cave and sometimes as hot as a furnace.
The rapid alternation between hot and cold was so fast that people couldn't adapt in time, and some low-level wizards had already started bleeding from their mouths and noses.
The activity level of elements is also fluctuating wildly.
Jemin could sense that the surrounding fire elements were sometimes so violent they seemed about to explode, and sometimes so still they seemed to be completely nonexistent.
This extreme change made every wizard with a deep connection to the elements feel so uncomfortable they wanted to vomit blood.
But these are just appetizers.
The real killer move was that white beam of light that descended from the sky.
"That's... a formatting attack!"
A high-ranking wizard exclaimed in surprise, clearly recognizing the attack method.
The moment that beam of light struck, the protective magic arrays still operating around the ship's surface melted away at a visible speed, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
Runes crumble, nodes shatter, and energy loops break.
The defenses that had been painstakingly set up were "formatted to blank" in just a few seconds.
Besides these, the largest element pools are the most affected.
Jemin turned his head to look to the east, his pupils suddenly contracting.
The protective shield surrounding Element Pool No. 3, which was nearly tampered with before, has now completely disappeared. Inside the pool, countless underlying runes are being reverse-engineered.
Those runes, which were originally the core of controlling energy output, are now being "analyzed" little by little.
Once the parsing is complete, the other party only needs to slightly change one parameter, and the entire element pool will explode.
The power of that explosion was enough to level half of the ship's surface.
The outermost layer of cannon fodder creatures are finished.
Jemin watched as the elemental golems froze in place one by one, then dissipated into the most basic particles.
Those artificially bred war beasts suffered even more misery.
Some suddenly self-destructed, sending flesh and blood flying everywhere; others went berserk, attacking their companions and completely losing control.
Without a doubt, after losing a large number of their comrades, the information-biological legion intends to manipulate information and directly format the entire plane! "Hmph."
A cold snort rang out.
Martin descended from the sky and landed in the center of the altar.
His gray robe remained motionless amidst the raging energy, and his short, gray-white hair didn't even flutter.
He stood there quietly, looking up at the white waterfall cascading wildly in the sky, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Without saying a word, Jemin immediately stood up and moved aside from the center of the altar.
Not only him, but all the wizards who were not of high rank on the altar voluntarily stepped back.
"Let's begin."
Martin spoke calmly.
More than a dozen level-seven wizards nodded in unison.
They all raised their hands, and beams of light flew out from their respective spatial equipment.
The first thing to appear was a huge eyeball.
The eyeball was over ten meters in diameter, suspended in mid-air, with a grayish-white sclera and a pale golden pupil.
It has no eyelids, it just stares straight out, and deep in its pupils you can vaguely see countless fine runes flowing.
"The Void Eye..." Jemin murmured.
He had heard of this creature before; it was an extremely rare void being with exceptionally high intelligence and an innate ability to process information. Following that were even more strange creatures.
A creature taller than a person floated out, its shape resembling a naked brain with dense tentacles hanging down below.
The tentacles kept wriggling, and each wriggling generated subtle fluctuations of mental energy.
"Brain monster..."
Another one appeared.
Its upper body is a translucent jellyfish, and its lower body is octopus-like tentacles.
Through the transparent outer layer, you can see more than a dozen human-shaped brains floating inside it, each one slowly pulsating.
Jemin gasped.
He recognized all these creatures; it was no exaggeration to say they were all recognized as "highly intelligent races," born with computing power far exceeding that of humans. The wizarding civilization domesticated them to serve as "biological computing machines" in certain extreme situations.
What those level six wizards pulled out was even more direct.
One after another, the culture jars were taken out and neatly arranged around the altar.
Each culture tank was taller than a person, filled with a pale green nutrient solution, in which densely packed nerve tissue was submerged. These tissues were wrinkled and constantly wriggling, clearly brain organs—and specifically modified brain organs designed for computational output.
Jemin understood.
This is the expeditionary force's true trump card, a "weapon" specifically prepared for the computing power showdown.
Martin raised his right hand.
A giant ancient tree slowly emerged from his spatial equipment.
The tree was a hundred meters tall, with a trunk so thick that it would take more than a dozen people to encircle it. But its branches and leaves were not green; they were grayish-white. Its bark was not rough wood; it was covered with wrinkled cerebral cortex.
The entire tree is composed entirely of brain tissue.
Countless sulci are densely distributed on the trunk, branches, and even every "leaf".
The brain tissue was constantly wriggling and emitting a faint glow, which was enough to send chills down your spine just by looking at it.
"Brain Village Tree..."
A wizard gasped in surprise.
Jemin was also stunned.
He had never even heard of this thing before.
But one thing he was certain of: the tree's computing power was probably higher than that of most of the wizards present.
Martin stood beneath the Brain Tree, his arms slowly opening.
"Destiny System, connect."
A golden light appeared between his brows—that was the access permission that Jieming had granted him.
Through the altar, the computational power of the Destiny System was fully mobilized, merging with the Brain Tree, the biological computing machines, and the spiritual power of all the wizards present.
In that instant, Jemin sensed an indescribable torrent of computing power.
It is like an invisible giant mountain, standing tall and suppressing everything.
The white waterfall of information in the sky seemed to sense something, and poured down even more frantically.
Martin looked up and sneered.
"With just you guys?"
He raised his right hand and pointed upwards.
The immense and terrifying torrent of computing power surged into the sky, like an invisible giant sword, piercing straight into the core of the white waterfall.
The outcome was decided the moment the two sides clashed; the white waterfall first stopped, then began to retreat madly.
In just a few seconds, the white information waterfall that covered the entire ship's plane was completely torn apart.
The sky above returned to its original grayness.
The environment at the ship's position immediately stabilized.
Information beings occasionally attempt to revive and surge back, but faced with this terrifying torrent of information, their core information is almost immediately erased upon contact, turning into specks of light and dissipating.
"Now! Everyone, cast a spell together!"
Martin the Wizard's voice rang out again.
More than a dozen level-seven wizards and hundreds of level-six wizards who had been waiting for a long time made their move at the same time.
Using their immense computing power, they simultaneously unleashed an information-based witchcraft.
Layers upon layers of chaotic information poured forth from their hands, like countless writhing pythons lunging towards the massive black rift. They intertwined and tangled, ultimately forming a thick information barrier that sealed off the entire information plane.
That barrier is not at the energy level, but at the information level.
Any informational being attempting to cross this barrier will be immediately contaminated by the chaotic information.
Martin did not stop.
He formed hand seals, using the power of an eighth-level wizard to add another layer of law-based sealing outside the chaotic information barrier.
From this moment on, the outer layer of the information plane was completely blocked.
If those information beings want to break out again, they must first break through these two layers of blockade.
With their current strength, they simply cannot accomplish this in less than ten days to half a month.
The sky returned to calm.
The cracks above the ship's dock still exist, but no more information creatures emerge from them.
The white light surged wildly on the other side of the crack, but could only futilely strike the sealing layer, failing time and again. Jemin stood at the edge of the altar, watching this scene unfold, speechless for a long time.
Without a doubt, the current method was actually the original plan that the expeditionary force had prepared to deal with the information biological army.
However, Martin, the "Heart of Ash," only revealed his ability after realizing he could actually kill information beings, in order to obtain more loot and research samples.
"Jermin."
Martin's voice came through.
Jemin snapped out of his daze and found that Martin had already walked up to him.
The level eight wizard raised his hand, and a hundred pale blue crystals appeared in front of Jemin as his palm shimmered.
The crystals varied in size, the largest being the size of a fist and the smallest only the size of a fingernail.
But inside each one, countless points of light flow, emitting a faint glow.
It is the core crystal left behind after the death of information organisms.
"These are your spoils of war," Martin said. "They're yours to be distributed according to your contribution."
Jemin paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and respectfully accepted it.
"Thank you, senior."
I received over a hundred blue crystals; they were quite heavy.
Martin looked at him, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Study this carefully. These things might be more valuable than military merits."
After saying that, he turned and left to deal with post-war matters.
Jemin stood there, looking at the pile of blue crystals in his hand, then looked up at the pure white sphere that was blocked in the sky.
He gripped the crystal tightly, turned, and walked towards the laboratory.
The days ahead are going to be busy.
