Evolution game, nothing more than that!

Beneath the chrysanthemum-shaped space passage, towering mountains of flesh and blood like giant fangs are the "living instruments" that maintain the space passage.

And from the memories of this possessed pioneer, we know that if we just destroy one of the "fangs", the entire space channel will collapse.

So, Yi Shen came here.

Therefore, a mass of ultra-high temperature plasma condensed in his body, which was constantly compressed and strengthened, and had reached a certain limit.

"Go!"

Yi Shen squeezed out the last bit of mental power from this clone, added a dissociation attribute to this plasma fireball, and then released control.

In an instant, this ball of plasma that was compressed to the limit exploded, and thousands of thunders carrying Yi Shen's will raged outward.

boom--!!!!!!

The first thing the thunder devoured was the body of the pioneer. It was hard to tell whether it was the high temperature of the pioneer itself or the decomposition force field carried by the thunder that caused the entire body to vaporize almost instantly.

Then, as these countless lightning bolts spread outward, all matter they touched was instantly decomposed into elementary particles. Whether it was a mountain of flesh and blood or a monster over a hundred meters in size, all disappeared.

In addition to direct lightning strikes, the shock waves generated by the large-scale vaporization of matter into gas are equally powerful.

Unfortunately, because they were in deep water, the power of the shock wave was greatly weakened. Except for the monsters that were too close and were killed, those monsters that were farther away were only injured but not killed, and some even retained a considerable degree of combat effectiveness.

If these monsters were to rush into the Earth at once, even with the four existing mechas of PDCC plus Toyohama and Hana's "Cyber ​​Angels", it would be difficult to guarantee that they could be resisted.

But this is impossible to happen now.

The reason was very simple, because Yi Shen's explosion directly destroyed a corner of the space channel device, and the chrysanthemum-shaped channel suspended in the sea water collapsed.

……

Back on Earth, at the monster processing site, Yi Shen opened his eyes and took off the synesthesia device on his head.

Turning to look at Newton on the other side, he was rolling his eyes and twitching all over, and it seemed that he was about to die.

Yi Shen quickly stepped forward and removed the instrument from the other person's head, ending the synesthesia.

After a brief examination, it was found that Newton had some symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage. If not treated in time, he might suffer permanent brain damage.

Although this guy was controlled by the Pioneers in the second part of the movie because of his obsession with synaesthesia with monsters and became the villain boss, Yi Shen did not intend to let him become an idiot.

After all, the present is the present and the future is the future. We cannot judge someone's present based on the evil things he has not done yet.

Not to mention, Newton himself is not actually a bad person. He rebelled because he was infiltrated and brainwashed by the monsters through repeated telepathy with them. In essence, he is still a victim.

So, Yi Shen hesitated for only two seconds before helping the other person heal the damage in his brain.

After a while, Newton woke up. He looked around and his eyes gradually became clear from confusion.

Then he saw Yi Shen, and his expression suddenly changed:

"Oh my God, you, you, you, you did it? You blew up the space channel?!"

Yi Shen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised:

"you saw it?"

From the very beginning, he blocked the invasion of his consciousness by the outside world, and only used synesthesia technology as a medium to invade the mental network of monsters and pioneers.

But now it seems that Newton, who is also experiencing synaesthesia, seems to have observed his actions?

"Of course I saw it! Oh my god, how did you do it? You controlled the alien and used its body to trigger a nuclear explosion? Do aliens have nuclear reactors in their bodies? That's not right. The information I sensed didn't say that..."

Newton spoke somewhat incoherently, eager to know how Yi Shen did it - Yi Shen's self-deton was essentially thunder with decomposition power, but its appearance looked very close to a nuclear explosion, so Newton mistakenly thought it was a real nuclear explosion.

"That's my little secret."

Yi Shen smiled and said:

"But thanks to your genius idea, Doctor, I now have the opportunity to destroy the space channel. Half of the credit this time belongs to you!"

"Wait, the space channel was blown up? What are you talking about?"

The construction site manager who was listening to the conversation between the two was confused. He thought that the two men's brains were damaged by telepathy with the monster and did not believe anything they said.

However, in the command room of the Broken Dome Base, which had barely recovered after emergency repairs, Cai Tiantong looked at the submarine space rift gradually disappearing on the satellite scan map and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"The space channel disappeared?!"

"what?!"

Dr. Herman, who had also come to the command room to watch the battle, rushed over upon hearing this and stared at the screen in disbelief.

"Really, it disappeared... How is this possible? This shouldn't happen? What on earth happened?!"

Seeing him grabbing his hair and looking doubtful about his life, those who didn't know him would think that he hoped the space channel would continue to exist.

"What happened? The space channel disappeared?"

The door of the command room opened, and Stek heard the news as soon as he came in. He was immediately surprised and happy. He rushed forward in two steps and looked at the satellite image on the screen.

After confirming that the space channel had indeed disappeared, he instinctively thought of Yi Shen and the others.

Did they do something again?

Or is it that the aliens behind the monsters retreated on their own initiative after discovering that the strength of the Earth was beyond their expectations?

Stek, who didn't know the inside story, could only make wild guesses.

But no one except him thought so much. After confirming that the space channel had disappeared, the entire command room was plunged into a sea of ​​cheers.

And when Stek announced that the countdown for the monster's attack had permanently returned to zero, the cheers spread throughout the base.

However, what no one knew was that Yi Shen, the real hero of all this, frowned again after a brief moment of joy.

"Why isn't the mission over yet?"

He looked at the game panel and found that the mission was still in the "In Progress" state, with no "Complete" displayed, and it did not bring the gamers back to the real world.

There is only one possibility -

"The Evolution Game has determined that our mission is not yet complete?"

Sakurajima Mai, who also noticed this, said so.

"Did we miss something?"

Yamasaki An looked at her teammates.

"We participated in the battle, closed the space channel, and stopped the Pioneers' invasion. We did everything, didn't we? What else is missing?"

Fenghama and Hua, who got off the Cyber ​​Angel, looked at their game panel and were also very confused.

“…Perhaps, it was really missed.”

Yi Shen was silent for a while and then said:

"Whether it's the closing of the space channel that we all shared, or your unique participation in the battle, these should have been accomplished. But the last sentence, 'stop the invasion of the pioneers,' we simply destroyed the space channel. Did we really stop them?"

Chapter 261: Wall Construction Plan, Space Gate Reopened

The mission objective of this mission, as written in the Evolution Game, is "to stop the invasion of the Pioneers."

So, what does it mean to "block"?

Can simply destroying the space channel be considered as stopping it?

If you only look at the first Pacific Rim movie, that does seem to be the case.

But if you include the sequel to the second film and various spin-off series and comics, the facts are completely the opposite.

The Pioneers were never truly stopped.

Even if a space channel is destroyed once, they can open up a second, third, or even countless ones at any time.

"So, it's another game of words, deliberately misleading us with vague words..."

Mai Sakurajima said this with a nonchalant tone.

This isn't the first time Evolution Games has done this.

Whether it is the earliest Werewolf or the later Psycho-Pass, this evolutionary game likes to play some word games on the mission objectives and deliberately blur the requirements for completing the mission.

"This isn't the key right now!"

Yamasaki An said from the side:

"How can we truly stop the Pioneers' invasion? Do we have to fight our way to the other side of the space channel and destroy them all?"

"This is obviously impossible..."

Sakurajima Mai rolled her eyes and said.

Even though she, Yi Shen, and Sakurajima Mai now have large-scale destructive skills, at most they can only destroy an entire army in an "anti-army" attack. Perhaps Yi Shen is stronger and can "anti-city" attack, but the Pioneer occupies an entire world and controls countless monsters. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for just a few people to destroy it all!

In the corner, Fenghama and Hana watched the conversation between the senior people, not daring to interrupt.

It was her first time participating in a formal mission and she had never imagined that this evolution game would actually play tricks on the text of the mission objectives. It seems that she will have to be more careful when carrying out missions in the future.

But, the future is the future, how can we complete this mission now?

"Um, Yi Jun, do you have any ideas?"

Yamasaki Anzu asked.

“Ideas…I do have some!”

Yi Shen raised his head, looked at his teammates, and curled his lips slightly:

"Build a wall, what do you think?"

"...When you say 'build a wall,' you're not referring to the 'wall of life' that the governments of this world are building, right?"

Sakurajima Mai was silent for a moment and asked back.

"of course not."

Yi Shen smiled and shook his head, saying:

"With humanity's current technological level, a physical wall can't stop the increasingly powerful monsters. When I say 'wall,' I mean an invisible wall of space—adding a barrier to Earth at the spatial level, preventing the Pioneers from reaching through the space tunnels. What do you think?"

"This, this is something we can do?!!"

Yamasaki An's eyes widened, wondering if she had heard it wrongly.

Adding a space barrier to the earth to prevent the pioneers from passing through the space channel is a miracle that only gods can do!

"Of course we can't do it on our own."

Yi Shen shook his head and said:

"Fortunately, this time, my divine consciousness crossed boundaries and possessed the body of a pioneer. From its memories, I gained a great deal of knowledge, including space technology that far surpasses human imagination. Although it was based on flesh and blood technology, with a slight conversion, it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve it with mechanical technology."

Yes, when the Pioneer clone that Yi Shen seized self-destructed, its soul was not annihilated in the nuclear explosion, but was brought back across the air by Yi Shen through the spiritual connection at the last moment.

In this way, Yi Shen obtained all the vast amount of knowledge accumulated by the pioneers over millions of years in that clone.

"I see. You intend to hand this technology over to the governments of this world and let them build this 'space wall' themselves?"

Sakurajima Mai showed a look of realization.

"Yes."

Yi Shen nodded and said:

"Ultimately, saving this world depends on the people of this world themselves. As outsiders, we can only provide some assistance."

……

However, things in this world do not necessarily develop according to human will.

Just when Yi Shen was fully devoted to analyzing the Pioneer space technology and trying to transform it into mechanical technology that could be used by humans, bad news suddenly came.

The detection satellite in space detected that the destroyed space channel in the deep ocean was opened again!

What’s worse is that there is more than one space channel opened!

A space channel appeared in each of the four oceans of the earth: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.

This is no longer "Pacific Rim", but "Rim of the Four Oceans"!

“How could this happen!??”

In the Broken Dome Base, Marshal Stek, who thought he could retire, looked at the four space channels distributed in the four oceans on the screen with an extremely grim expression.

A space channel forced humans to retreat step by step. If it weren't for the help of magicians who provided shield technology and destroyed the space channel with some unimaginable mysterious means, humans would have been defeated long ago.
