Without Alona, ​​I can only use the airdrop system.

"Prisus, Shapeshifter Cluster, fully armed!"

In an instant, the teacher abandoned Angelina's abilities and immediately created three clones. One of the clones used Originium Arts and the power of the Shapeshifter swarm to help the students clear out the attacking monsters.

The remaining three clones blocked the three Phantom Gods from launching their attack.

For a moment, the scene was filled with dazzling, continuous light.

Although the monsters that attacked Abydos and his companions were not strong, they could resurrect infinitely in this "Dark Game" space, showing no fear of death, while the teachers and students were truly being exhausted.

The Egyptian Gods were not to be underestimated. Every teacher who fought against them used the massive Originium energy contained in the Precyth Armor to fight them. Apart from creating clones, the abilities of the Shapeshifter swarm were useless against the Egyptian Gods.

Incidentally, Precyth's Originium Transformation had no effect on the Egyptian God Cards or the monsters present.

Because it was the first time using a clone in a high-intensity battle, within just a few minutes, the teacher could clearly feel the invisible pressure on his brain getting heavier and heavier until it reached a critical point.

Fortunately, the teacher was able to handle it.

Seeing that the teacher was only maintaining a stalemate in the battle against the three Egyptian Gods and the monster horde, the underground dwellers felt a little relieved from their initial panic.

"It seems that Teacher Xia Lai's performance has not exceeded my expectations." The underground dweller breathed a sigh of relief, then shouted, "Appear! Super Magical Dragon Knight—Red-Eyes Dragon Knight!!"

The next moment, the already hunched figure of the underground dweller sank even further, and behind him, a male knight wearing black armor and with black dragon wings on his back appeared!

"Cough cough cough cough!!! Red-Eyed Dragon Knight, kill one of Abydos's students!!!"

"Don't even think about it!!!"

Despite the pressure on his brain, the teacher immediately created another clone containing a large amount of energy to block the Red-Eyed Dragon Knight.

However, due to the creation of four clones, the invisible pressure on the teacher's brain suddenly increased many times over.

"Damn!!"

The increased burden on the brain led to a chain reaction.

The clone fighting the Colossus suddenly slowed down its dodging speed and took a punch from the Colossus.

The clone that fought the Sky Dragon was hit by its light bullet.

The clone that was fighting the Winged Rathalos was tackled to the ground by the Winged Rathalos.

The clone that blocked the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight was cut in half by the Red-Eyes Knight after only a few rounds of fighting.

Due to the nature of the shapeshifter swarm, all the damage is borne by the teachers who are fighting alongside the students.

"what--!"

The teacher's sense of touch was now completely overwhelmed by pain, but fortunately, the enhancement of his physique by the light and shadow blood vessels allowed him to stand normally.

"teacher!"

Four students from Abydos tried to help their teacher, but were quickly surrounded by monsters.

Under the command of the underground dwellers, the monsters also separated Abydos and his four companions from their teacher.

"Haha!!" The underground dweller looked at the current situation and couldn't help but feel smug. "Teacher, is this all you've got?"

"However, even if you use the Emperor's Armor, the safety of your student cannot be guaranteed! Haha!" The underground dweller's laughter grew even more smug. "However, if you are willing to offer your life, I might spare your lovely student's life!"

"..." The teacher could still hear the gunshots from Shirako and Nomiya, and knew that they had not chosen to give up.

As their teacher, I naturally made the same choice as them.

But what method can be used to break through the current situation?

Using the Emperor Armor to protect the students? Using the Emperor Armor alone would disable Terra Armor's abilities, forcing them to divert their attention to protecting the students and preventing them from launching attacks on the Underground Lifeforms, leaving them in a state of perpetual passivity.

The Planet Destroyer Cannon created using Precys's abilities requires charging, which consumes more stamina. The other three Egyptian Gods and the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight won't just stand there waiting for his attack, and this move can easily affect the students.

The world within the painting of the Year Beast Fragment, Evening, can temporarily provide refuge from the monsters' attacks. However, this is a "Dark Duel" space exclusively for underground dwellers, which can also be countered using Spell Cards and Trap Cards. Relying on Evening's power to endlessly evade direct combat will not achieve the goal of breaking the deadlock.

Haranduhan, Shah, and others possessed powerful abilities related to space and time, but even they were unable to break through the conceptual nature of the Dark Game Space and thus fail to achieve their goal of overturning the chessboard.

The only one who could potentially overturn the game, Gardener Kreson, cannot protect the students due to his indiscriminate collapse effect. Even in the most ideal scenario, where the monsters are transformed into collapse entities, allowing complete control of this "Dark Game Space," Bai Zi and the others have likely already been corrupted and mutated by the collapse, making them practically dead. Even disarming Terra wouldn't change the students' condition.

Is there really no other solution?

"Teacher Yang Keyue."

At that moment, a thought popped into the teacher's mind, and the voice was extremely familiar!

"PhD!?"

"To be precise, I am merely a manifestation of your thoughts, not the doctor himself," the "doctor's" voice said honestly.

Why did you suddenly appear?

“Yang Keyue, you shouldn’t have lingered here.” The doctor’s voice was stern. “Is this little setback going to force you to give up?”

“But I have no way to solve this,” the teacher said, utterly despondent. “The things those underground people use have already reached the conceptual level. If I were alone, I might have a chance, but I also have to protect my students. Right now, I can’t think of a way that satisfies both.”

After a moment of silence, the "Doctor" said, "Professor Yang Keyue, do you know what the true essence of 'Originium' is?"

"Huh?" The teacher fell into recollection before answering, "Besides Precyth, there's Oripathy, Originium Arts, and the pre-civilization."

"After all that, do you know why Oripathy can infect Terrans, why they can use Originium Arts, and what the true purpose of the pre-civilization Precys in inventing Originium was?"

"Civilization?" The teacher quickly came to the answer.

“Not entirely correct,” the “Doctor” said. “The core that Originium carries is actually ‘life’.”

"With 'life' comes 'wisdom', and with 'wisdom' as the guide, 'life' can create 'civilization'."

"Huh?" The teacher was a little confused. "But what use is it for me to understand all this?"

“Yes, brother, yes.” “Doctor” said calmly, “It is precisely because it can bear ‘life’ that it can unleash the power contained in Originium. Haven’t you noticed that when you combine Precys with Originium-related individuals, the strength displayed by those individuals can produce twice the result with half the effort?”

"Then why not combine this effect with the power created by Precys, making it independent of your body?"

"!!!"

The moment the "doctor" reminded him, the teacher's mind went completely clear!

Everything in the game Arknights is tied to the concept of Originium, and Precys, who possesses the concept of Originium, is the origin of civilization on the continent of Terra!

Therefore, I don't need to separate my mind control like the Shapeshifter group. Instead, I can let the life contained in the Originium control the power I contain!

"Thank you, Doctor!"

"Heh, no need for thanks." The "Doctor's" voice echoed, "I am merely an extension of your ability."

"Actually, you've come to this realization on your own."

The seemingly long conversation and thoughts above actually only lasted a moment.

"Life and death, creatures of Terra!!" The teacher clenched his left fist. "I need your help!"

With a loud, childish shout from the teacher, a group of illusory figures appeared centered on the teacher!

The appearance of these illusory figures surprised even the teacher.

They are all characters from "Arknights". Besides the well-known Amiya, there are Surtr, W, Theresa, Sakura, Suzuran, and others. Some of these characters are even unfamiliar to the teacher!

Of course, some phantom figures had already appeared around Bai Zi and the other three, protecting them as they ran out of ammunition and food.

Although these phantoms cannot speak, they share a common goal—to help the teacher.

In an instant, the group of phantoms started fighting the monsters!

"How could this be?! How could this happen?!" The underground dweller stared wide-eyed. "How could such an accident occur?! I don't understand!"

"Obelisk the Titan, Osiris the Sky Dragon, Ra the Winged Dragon Ra, and the Red-Eyed Dragon Knight, charge!!!"

Amidst the heart-wrenching roars of the underground dwellers, the four monsters attacked simultaneously, charging towards the teacher!

"Emperor's armor, combined!"

The teacher's body shimmered with golden light, completing the transformation.

"Has this guy gone mad? He's actually using the Emperor's Armor at this time, isn't he afraid of those phantoms disappearing... What?!" The underground dweller stared in disbelief at the Terran phantoms still fighting on the scene.

If the underground dwellers had mouths, they might already be vomiting blood.

"This completely contradicts the information the higher-ups gave me!!" The underground dweller's eyes widened. "He shouldn't be able to use the powers of the other world after using the Emperor's Armor!"

"Could he have made a breakthrough on the spot?!" The underground resident's thoughts were in turmoil. "This is cheating! This match is completely a problem with the system's mechanics!!!"

But he can no longer turn back.

Because the Dark Game can only truly end with the death of one of the players.

Meanwhile, the teacher, now transformed into Emperor Warrior, has already taken up the Emperor Halberd and begun fighting the four monsters.

"Show yourself, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!!!" The underground dweller, realizing his life was in danger, unleashed his own potential. "Let's go and defeat Sharai's teacher!!!"

The moment the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was summoned, in order to maintain the number of monsters present, the Underground Living One collapsed to the ground, its body convulsing uncontrollably.

He could clearly feel his life force slipping away.

However, the five monsters fighting the teacher will not be weakened by the underground dweller's condition.

The reason why the teacher dared to transform into the Emperor Armor was because, after his enlightenment, the Originium power contained in Presence began to merge with the Five Elements power of the Emperor Armor!

In other words, these forces from completely different worlds have achieved coexistence.

This was something the teacher could never have imagined before.

After seeing the state of the underground dweller, the teacher knew that this was the full force he could muster, so he stopped trying to test his strength.

"Five Shadows Must Kill!"

The next moment, the three Egyptian God cards, the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, and the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon were all imbued with five colors of light out of thin air. The teacher immediately used the Emperor's Halberd to slash each of the monsters at an extremely fast speed, which then caused a terrifying explosion.

After the smoke cleared, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Red-Eyes Dragon Knight had disappeared. The three Egyptian Gods were still on the field, but they no longer had the aggressive attitude they had before. Instead, they stood guard in front of the underground dwellers.

The underground dwellers, having exhausted their life force, were on the verge of death.

At the same time, the underground dwellers' condition deteriorated, and the number of monsters that could resurrect infinitely became limited. They were quickly destroyed by the four Abydos and the phantoms of the Terra creatures!

The situation has already reversed.

Now the teachers have surrounded the underground dwellers along with the three Egyptian Gods.

"..." The teacher silently looked at the underground dwellers protected by the three Egyptian Gods and said calmly, "What other moves do you have? Show them to us now."

"Even if I am about to die... I will stop you, Xia Lai's teacher!!!" The underground dweller, in a final burst of energy, raised his hands high, and the Millennium Puzzle on his chest suddenly emitted a black light. "The reversed Takanashi Hoshino will definitely lure out Set, and in the end, destroy everything in Giwatos!"

"You superior being, please make your move! I will offer my life and the three Phantom Gods as a sacrifice!"

At this moment, the black light burst forth with tremendous wind pressure, causing the five teachers to retreat hastily.

"A desperate counterattack?!" The teacher had already shielded Abydos and the other three behind him, and a golden protective shield had appeared. As for the remaining Terran phantoms, they had already dissipated on the spot.

"Witness! Xia Lai's teacher!" The final words of the underground dweller echoed throughout the entire Dark Game Space, "This is my final summons! Come forth, Great Evil God—Zork!"

After the black light dissipated, the entire sky of the Dark Game was completely replaced by darkness.

"Hahahaha, the long-awaited resurrection!" The voice of the Great Evil God then rang out, "Foolish mortals, let me show you the endless darkness!"

At this moment, the only thing that shone was the protective shield that the teacher released to protect the students.

The rest of the area was pitch black, completely shrouded in darkness, and this darkness was constantly eroding the protective shield.
