494: Cyber Invasion
This was a completely virtual world, quite similar to the Law Arena.
However, the cyber soul of the Mech Clan connected to it could do whatever it wanted by purchasing permissions.
This seemed like a very good design, but in reality, it was extremely terrifying because hidden behind it was the extremely frightening pay-to-win system.
Just like playing a pay-to-win online game, Mech Clan members who didn't pay only had the most basic permissions here, making it almost impossible to move forward.
On the other hand, Mech Clan members who did pay could do whatever they wanted in the Exclusive Entertainment Network with their super high permissions.
This situation made Lin Tianwei sigh with emotion, that even in this Great Universe Era, pay-to-win was still mainstream.
It still determined the treatment of Mech Clan lives, even if they were machines.
Although he had obtained basic permissions, Lin Tianwei did not intend to do anything in the Exclusive Entertainment Network with them.
His goal was not here; quietly completing the Cyber Invasion and domesticating these Mech Clan members into cyber souls that would continuously provide him with energy was what Lin Tianwei urgently needed to do.
In the Law Hunting Ground, under extremely special circumstances, with the aid of the control collar, Lin Tianwei accomplished the feat of absorbing billions of cyber souls.
With the special ability of Consciousness Datafication, Lin Tianwei could completely collect the energy generated when these cyber souls operated, continuously reinforcing himself and making himself stronger.
It was a pity that in order to contend with Ginas, who had already ascended to Universe Master, Lin Tianwei ultimately had to self-destruct all his cyber souls to gain immense power.
Although he ultimately won this battle against the Universe Master, it also depleted most of the cyber souls he had just harvested, leaving him with very few.
To obtain even greater power, Lin Tianwei had to find a way to quickly replenish his cyber souls.
It was a pity that the Cosmic Beasts living in the Law Hunting Ground were all extremely special existences.
They had been fitted with control collars countless years ago, and the control collars had even completely integrated into their consciousness.
It was precisely because of this that their consciousness had gained some data characteristics, which allowed them to be tamed by Lin Tianwei and become cyber souls.
They had died the moment they were controlled by the control collar; what lived on was merely a control collar that inherited their name.
The data and consciousness contained within the control collar were their true bodies.
It was precisely because the Law Hunting Ground test subjects possessed this extremely special quality that they could become cyber souls working for Lin Tianwei.
Also, due to being limited by this quality, Lin Tianwei was completely unable to tame the consciousness and souls of ordinary Cosmic Beasts to make them cyber souls working for him.
Giving up a path to becoming stronger that he had painstakingly found? This was not Lin Tianwei's style.
So he quickly found a suitable alternative: the Mech Clan active in the Chaos Universe.
The Mech Clan, with data as their soul consciousness, naturally possessed this quality, and one could even say they were purer than the test subjects of the Law Hunting Ground.
It was under these circumstances that Lin Tianwei conceived the idea of taming the Mech Clan and making them cyber souls to work for him.
This was also one of his main reasons for coming to the Alien Battlefield.
However, in the early stages of executing his conquest, either because Mech Clan Novice Villages were rare, or perhaps due to Lin Tianwei's bad luck, he hadn't encountered a Mech Clan Novice Village for a long time, which is why he only now began to execute this plan.
Consciousness Datafication!
This miraculous Talent could transform Lin Tianwei's consciousness into data, giving him the opportunity to compete with the Mech Clan on a data level.
Furthermore, since Lin Tianwei's current body was already a Body of Talents that existed between virtual and real, capable of perfectly exerting the power of any Talent,
he could even use the power of this body to strengthen the data intensity of his Consciousness Datafication.
Coupled with the Core Code Talent, whose ability was like a bug, this Cyber Invasion proceeded much more smoothly than Lin Tianwei had imagined.
The invasion began!
In fact, the moment Lin Tianwei connected to the Exclusive Entertainment Network, this invasion had already begun to proceed in an orderly manner.
Under the effect of the Avatar Talent, Lin Tianwei directly transformed into countless cyber viruses, capable of invading the Mech Clan's consciousness, and began to execute this Cyber Invasion, which was enough to harvest all of the Mech Clan's data souls!
The Mech Clan members immersed in the Exclusive Entertainment Network could never have imagined that one day an enemy would launch an invasion against them from their exclusive network, their internal network.
Just as they were enjoying the Mech Clan's unique entertainment activities, Lin Tianwei directly transformed into a network ghost and launched an attack on them.
It must be said that the Law Hunting Ground was indeed good, providing Lin Tianwei with a large number of excellent resources.
Especially after Lin Tianwei analyzed the control collar, it gave him extremely powerful control abilities.
This treasure, which originally belonged to the Mech Clan, was now also very effective in dealing with the Mech Clan.
Coupled with the other Core Code that Lin Tianwei had previously obtained, which could suppress the Mech Clan, these Mech Clan members, who were enjoying themselves in the Exclusive Entertainment Network, were quickly captured by Lin Tianwei and became part of Lin Tianwei's power.
That virtual world, originally constructed from a large amount of data and prepared for the Law Hunting Ground test subjects, now became a pasture for herding these Mech Clan cyber souls.
They would not only continuously produce energy for Lin Tianwei, making Lin Tianwei's strength even greater.
They could also sacrifice themselves at critical moments, allowing Lin Tianwei's strength to experience an extremely terrifying burst.
As long as Lin Tianwei sacrificed enough cyber souls, he could even temporarily possess power comparable to a Mechanical God-King.
Of course, this was just a vision for the distant future; a mere Mech Clan Novice Village was far from enough to give Lin Tianwei such powerful strength.
He had to harvest more of the Mech Clan's data consciousness to achieve this feat that no beast could accomplish.
As time passed, with the invasion of the Lin Tianwei Cyber Virus, more and more Mech Clan members were harvested by Lin Tianwei, becoming cyber souls herded in Lin Tianwei's virtual pasture.
Cosmic Level fell!
World Lord Level fell!
Domain Lord Level fell!
Lord-level fell!
In just half a day, this paradise, which originally belonged to the Mech Clan, was almost completely overrun.
Only three Mech Clan members, whose strength had reached the Universe Master Level, had fortunately survived, still enjoying their happy time.
Although they were sent by Balota to guard Alien Race Newbie Village #512, it did not mean that they needed to constantly stay outside.
Their powerful strength was enough to allow them to quickly return to their main body and launch the fiercest attack on the enemy after hearing any disturbance.
Moreover, absorbing data itself was one of the Mech Clan's unique cultivation methods.
While they enjoyed themselves, their own data would continuously strengthen, truly achieving both happiness and strength.
However, only the most top-tier Mech Clan members enjoyed such treatment; only they had the financial resources to freely roam the Exclusive Entertainment Network and enjoy the highest level of VIP service.
As the Exclusive Entertainment Network was completely eroded by Lin Tianwei, and all Mech Clan members below the Universe Master Level were absorbed, it was now time for the decisive battle.
With a thought, Lin Tianwei, who had originally transformed into countless Cyber Viruses, instantly reintegrated, returning to his peak state.
What he was about to face were the Mech Clan's Universe Masters, and even if Lin Tianwei possessed the Core Code that greatly countered the Mech Clan, he absolutely could not be careless.
In the world of data, the speed of data flow determined Lin Tianwei's movement speed.
This speed seemed fast, but in reality, it had great limitations; at least it was completely unable to perform operations like Instantaneous Movement in the real universe.
But it didn't matter, Lin Tianwei could afford to wait this short amount of time.
After two and a half seconds of data flow, Lin Tianwei finally arrived in front of his first prey.
This was a Mech Clan Cosmic Beast named Simoni, who was currently engaged in an intimate exchange with a piece of data.
With the fusion, interweaving, and confrontation of data, his own data strength was also gradually increasing.
It was just that the speed of this increase was extremely slow, perhaps requiring an extremely long time for him to make a breakthrough.
As a powerful Mech Clan warrior, Simoni was entirely forged from powerful denilu alloy.
Although he did not possess the ability of an ordinary Universe Master to transform into a universe, he could rely on the special attributes generated after the denilu alloy merged with consciousness data to resist a Cosmic Beast with the strength of a Universe Master's third stage.
Even in the Alien Battlefield, where strong individuals abounded, he was definitely considered a powerful being.
However, Simoni never dreamed that Lin Tianwei, whom he had been waiting for, would not engage him in a hearty melee battle, but instead directly launched an attack through the extremely outrageous method of data invasion.
One must know that this was the domain of data, the field the Mech Clan was most proficient in; Lin Tianwei's actions were essentially stealing the Mech Clan's home base.
Sizzle, sizzle... That was the sound of electric currents intertwining and data merging.
Simoni, immersed in the pleasant data exchange, suddenly felt an immense pressure, forcing him to exit the friendly data exchange mode.
"Which blind idiot dares to disturb me? Are you not afraid of death?"
Simoni, whose good time was interrupted, was extremely furious and immediately started cursing.
Judging from the frequent beat (jumps) of data, Simoni must have been cursing very foully.
However, Simoni quickly shut up, because he discovered in horror that what was disturbing him was not any data existence of his own, but rather an incredibly powerful mass of unfamiliar data.
Not only that, this mass of unfamiliar data, relying on its super data volume, surrounded him, forming an encirclement with an absolute data advantage.
How was this possible? He was a Mech Clan member whose strength had reached the Universe Master's third stage; who could possess such a vast amount of data, enough to crush him?
Although he felt a faint sense of crisis, Simoni still feigned composure and asked loudly:
"Who is this senior, and why are you doing something so prone to misunderstanding?"
"Senior, please quickly withdraw your divine ability. If you truly have something, why don't we sit down and talk it over properly?"
Lin Tianwei's strength seemed weaker than Simoni's, but in terms of data volume, he held an absolute advantage in this battle.
Under the blessing of numerous Talents, Lin Tianwei's data volume included not only his consciousness but also his incredibly powerful Body of Talents.
And Simoni?
His strength seemed to be a bit stronger than Lin Tianwei's, but in the virtual world, all he could use was his own core data.
The powerful strength contained within his formidable denilu alloy body could not be brought into the virtual world at all.
Under these circumstances, facing a data-level war, Simoni was actually in an absolutely disadvantaged position.
Coupled with the countless Mech Clan cyber souls Lin Tianwei had just captured, Lin Tianwei's power in the virtual world was far stronger than Simoni imagined.
Sit down and talk it over properly?
Simoni's words almost made Lin Tianwei laugh out loud; his intention to devour the other party was already so obvious, yet the other party still had such naive thoughts.
Thinking of this, the massive data flow representing Lin Tianwei tightened even further, like a deep Giant Maw, intending to directly devour Simoni.
In the face of absolutely crushing power, Lin Tianwei didn't need to do too many superfluous things; he only needed to directly devour Simoni and transform him into his own lamb.
Horror, panic, fear!
From the very beginning of this data battle, Lin Tianwei made Simoni feel his overwhelming power.
The data flow battle between the two was decided in an instant.
Simoni's data was continuously devoured and transformed by Lin Tianwei, instantly converting into his own power.
This was the terrifying aspect of data warfare; data would not be erased or canceled out, it would only continuously become the victor's power.
This was also why the Mech Clan never exchanged data with their own kind.
With a slight mishap, the weaker would be devoured by the stronger, leaving not even a speck.
Feeling his own data continuously draining away, Simoni's eyes were filled with horror, yet even so, he was still very unyielding, threatening:
"No, how dare you do that in the Exclusive Entertainment Network?"
"This is illegal, a complete violation of the Mechanical God-King's command."
"Even if you barely gain stronger power by devouring me, you will absolutely not escape the Mechanical God-King's punishment."
"You will die without a burial place!"
"Let me go, return my data to me, and then offer 50% of your data as an apology, and I might forgive your act of violating the Mechanical God-King's command."
Although Simoni's voice was trembling, his words threatening Lin Tianwei were still very forceful.
This was not because he had lost his mind, it was purely because he had confidence in the Mechanical God-King's punishment he spoke of.
It was precisely because of the rules set by the Mechanical God-King that so many Mech Clan members dared to roam freely in the Exclusive Entertainment Network.
A large part of the expensive internet fees was the Mechanical God-King's protection money. (End of this chapter)
