270: Chapter 272 Chen Shuyin: For the sake of the child, she pushed her IQ to the limit!

The bridge of the luan niao starship had become a true hell.

The surrounding metal walls emitted a teeth-grinding screech—the wail of space being forcibly torn apart, and a sign that the entire warship was on the verge of disintegration at this very moment.

The mothership of that God-level Civilization was like an insurmountable Grim Reaper entrenched in the starry sky, and that fatal beam, like a maggot attached to bone, was gnawing away at this last hope of humanity bit by bit.

Jiang Chen felt as if his soul had been frozen by the cold air.

It wasn't out of fear.

It was because he saw that at this moment, with death only a hair's breadth away, Academician Chen Shuyin moved.

"Give that thing to me."

She pointed at the still-vibrating, uncertainty-filled "Causality Weapon" controller, her voice surprisingly as calm as stagnant water.

"I just simulated it three million times."

As she swiftly dismantled the redundant cables on the console, she spoke in a frantic tone, "Our current computing power isn't enough; we can't handle the logical calculation volume required by the Causality Weapon. This thing is a ticking time bomb!"

"Since it's not enough, then we'll just go all the way!"

Academician Chen Shuyin took a deep breath, her cold, clear face now flushed with determination. "Jiang Chen, activate the brain-computer interface—not the partial kind, but a full connection!"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He stared into Academician Chen Shuyin's eyes, as if meeting the woman who had accompanied him for so long for the first time.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

Jiang Chen's voice trembled. "A full connection? You want to use your own brain to bear the research computing power of the entire planet? Your neurons will burn out! This is a load no human can handle!"

"Who said it was for you?"

Academician Chen Shuyin lowered her head, gently stroking her lower abdomen. Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, splashing onto the cold console.

"I'm doing this for the child."

"I cannot let them live in a world raised as a farm by a bunch of monsters before they are even born."

"And I certainly cannot let them know that their father is a madman who dares to slash at gods, while their mother is a coward who can only watch from the sidelines."

"Jiang Chen, listen."

She turned her head abruptly, the light bursting from her eyes outshining the destructive rays outside the window. "Treat me as a CPU and link in the scientists who are still busy on Earth, Mars, and the Moon via quantum communication."

"I want to concentrate the computing power of the entire Earth civilization into this single moment."

"Even if it burns my brain to ash, I will make that 'sword' in your hand truly sharp!"

At that moment, the entire command room fell silent.

There was no superfluous sentimentality.

Only the epic, heroic roar of colliding civilizations.

Jiang Chen's eyes were red as he looked at Academician Chen Shuyin's trembling back. Without any hesitation, he pulled the highest-spec "neural link injection" out of the storage compartment.

"Hiss."

The needle pierced in.

It wasn't an ordinary link.

It was the rationality, madness, hope, and despair of the entire Earth civilization converging in this second into a torrent called "will."

"Link."

Jiang Chen issued the command.

He closed his eyes, feeling the shock of that moment.

What kind of feeling was it?

He felt that he was no longer just one person.

He felt like the billions of souls on Earth gazing up at the starry sky.

He felt the heartbeat of an infant who had just learned to walk on the red soil of Mars.

He felt the stubbornness of a researcher staying up late in the lab to refine data.

He even felt the tenacity of an elderly woman dancing to broadcast gymnastics in the square.

Billions of voices converged into a single thought at this moment.

"Hit it!"

"Kill these bastards!"

"This is our home; who dares to harvest it?!"

Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

Deep in his pupils, a dark golden light flashed.

That was the rule belonging to human will, infinitely magnified, called "wrath."

He turned his head and looked at Academician Chen Shuyin beside him.

Although she was convulsing all over, and blood had already seeped from her nostrils, the corners of her mouth carried a relieved and arrogant smile.

"Jiang Chen... is it enough?"

"Is this computing power enough to drag that so-called 'god' straight down from the clouds?!"

"It's enough."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. He could feel the rusty remote control in his hand becoming scalding hot as it gorged on some terrifying "logical energy."

It was trembling.

It was longing.

It wanted to tear apart that unfair destiny.

"Now, it's my turn."

Jiang Chen walked slowly to the center of the command console.

He didn't look at the God-level Civilization's mothership, nor did he look at the laser cannons destroying the Moon.

He just gently raised the hand holding the remote control and made a crude yet stylish gesture toward the vast starry sky.

It was like someone casually flicking a speck of dust off the side of the road.

"Go."

"Flatten that so-called 'god's' head for me!"

"Click."

The moment the button was pressed.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

There was only a silence that all intelligent creatures in the Milky Way Galaxy, even those tens of thousands of light-years away, could sense.

That kind of silence was not just the disappearance of sound, but the severance of cause and effect.

In the field of vision of that God-level Civilization's mothership, the "Earth target" in front of them suddenly disappeared.

Not only did the spaceship disappear, but the spatial parameters of that area were also "zeroed out" in this second.

"Error! Logical error! Why has our warship turned into... a pile of Lego bricks?!"

That was the last piece of code the enemy's main brain left in this world.

Immediately after.

That super mothership, capable of suppressing thousands of star systems.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, it collapsed without warning.

It wasn't an explosion.

It turned into colorful, block-shaped... toys.

Yes, it became countless interlocking toys scattered in the void that children play with.

Those cannon barrels that were once capable of evaporating stars became red plastic rods.

Those sensors with high-dimensional observation capabilities became little plastic eyes.

Even the leader of the so-called "The Sweepers" civilization, that high-and-mighty "The Keeper," instantly turned into a wooden doll with a cartoon smile and no soul.

Jiang Chen leaned against the deck, looking at the "block trash" floating in the void.

He stroked the Pikachu in his arms and looked at Academician Chen Shuyin's face, which was full of shock.

"I told you not to play logic with me."

Jiang Chen shrugged, looking bored, as if to say "I knew it would be like this."

"In my rules."

"If I say you're a toy, you're a toy."

"Whether you are a Level 6 or Level 7 civilization, as long as you enter my 'Pinduoduo' mall..."

"You have to play by my rules."

Academician Chen Shuyin looked at the pile of toy fragments, feeling her twenty-plus years of academic training collapsing wildly.

Is this a battle?

This is clearly a real-life version of "playing house."

And Jiang Chen.

He is exactly the ultimate brat who holds the universe's conductor's baton and can turn the entire Milky Way Galaxy into a block house whenever he is unhappy.

"Alright."

Jiang Chen yawned, casually picked up something that looked like a power core from the wreckage of the mothership that had turned into "assembled toys," and shoved it to Academician Chen Shuyin, who hadn't yet recovered from the shock.

"This is the best battery in their house; keep it to charge your elevator."

"After all..."

Jiang Chen looked toward the distant deep space, a hint of unprecedented solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"This is just the first batch."

"I think, in that darker, more distant place."

"There must be even harder-to-deal-with... 'toys' waiting for us."

He put the still-warm Causality Weapon handle back into his pocket and strode toward the deeper space.

He knew.

This was not the end.

This was the first step for him to become the true master of this universe.

And just as he turned around.

Something suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's hand.

It wasn't metal, nor was it ore.

It was a...

Gray, even faintly glowing with cold light, looking like an ordinary... little square.

[The ultimate weapon has been activated.]

The system's cold voice, at this moment, actually carried a hint of unprecedented... fear and anticipation:

[Host.]

[If you accidentally press it.]

[This entire reality...]

[Might all be reset.]
