119: Final Judgment

Time flew by, and in a blink, it was July.

The first squad (12 units) of the ring of judgment had been fully produced and completed basic training and data collection.

They hovered in mid-air, like twelve silver medals poised for action.

The projection screen in front of Brian was clearly divided into two parts:

One side displayed a massive stream of real-world combat and environmental adaptability data continuously transmitted from the twelve individual units;

The other side showed the core model of that complex, multi-rune combination, seemingly containing the secret to breaking limits.

"Spirit Eye."

"Present, Master!" The Spirit Eye of the laboratory avatar immediately responded.

"The power of the individual has been verified, and the basic platform is stable."

Brian's gaze focused on the complex rune model, his tone steady and decisive:

"Now, it's time to imbue them with a collective will! Let these isolated bolts of lightning learn to play the symphony of destruction. Initiate the final phase of array resonance research and development plan."

"Understood! The array resonance plan has been activated. Integrating all individual unit data, constructing a high-precision group behavior prediction and coordination model..."

Spirit Eye responded quickly.

Data streams rapidly flickered on the projection screen, and a virtual network containing twelve nodes quickly formed in the projection.

Phase One:

All critical R&D work was conducted in the extremely realistic virtual environment constructed by Spirit Eye.

Brian needed to transform the multi-rune combination into an array coordination protocol that could be understood by each ring of judgment, and embed it as core firmware into their spiritual core.

First virtual array integration test:

"Warning! Coordination protocol conflicts with Unit 7's high-frequency maneuver evasion logic! Trajectory entanglement failed!"

"Alert! Energy resonance guidance and Units 3 and 8's energy ripple effect caused resonance, leading to virtual energy core overload!"

In the virtual test field, red lights indicating failure frequently lit up.

"The problem is that the absolute unified command of the multi-rune combination suppresses the necessary autonomous adaptability of individual units in complex environments."

Brian analyzed calmly:

"What we need is a conductor, not a shackle. Spirit Eye, optimize the protocol to allow individuals to retain a certain degree of tactical-level adaptive fine-tuning within the coordination framework."

"Redefining protocol parameters, establishing a new model of master-slave coordination and microscopic self-adaptation..."

Second virtual array integration test:

Synchronization rate increased to 85%, but energy flow still showed unstable fluctuations at the aggregation node.

"It's the resonance frequency not matching the rhythm of the platform's inherent Ninefold Ripple Force-Dampening Rune Group!"

Brian quickly identified the problem:

"Adjust the resonance pulse to achieve harmonic resonance with the Ninefold Ripple Force-Dampening Rune Group's oscillation frequency!"

Third time... Fourth time... Time passed in countless failures, debugging, and optimizations.

Until half a month later!

"Master, the 651st global virtual coordination simulation, initiating!"

In the projection, twelve virtual Rings of Judgment lit up simultaneously, their energy connection network stable and brilliant.

As the simulated firing command was issued, twelve virtual metal conical rods shot out. Their trajectories, upon leaving the muzzles, were precisely guided by an invisible force, like woven threads, tracing elegant spirals in the air, finally converging at a single point with pinpoint accuracy!

The simulated readings instantly soared, firmly settling on the value symbolizing qualitative change:

500,000 spell scale!

"Virtual array test passed! Final version of the coordination protocol solidified!"

Spirit Eye's voice carried an irrepressible excitement.

Phase Two:

In the workshop beside the laboratory, a solemn atmosphere prevailed, as if a sacred ritual was taking place.

Twelve physical Rings of Judgment hovered on maintenance stands, awaiting their final sublimation.

"Begin inscribing the final firmware for the Array Coordination Protocol."

As the indicator light of the last ring changed from blue, representing independence, to gold, representing resonance and connection, an invisible, tight energy field instantly linked these twelve constructs into one.

They were no longer just twelve powerful individuals!

Instead, they formed an indivisible super weapon system!

"Final Judgment!"

"Final Judgment, all unit firmware inscription and collaborative calibration complete!"

Spirit Eye solemnly declared.

Phase Three: The Complete Form!

Dimensional Space Chamber test field.

Twelve silver rings unfolded in the sky, arranged in a perfect combat formation.

Visible energy brilliance flowed between them, emitting a low, unified resonance sound.

"Final Judgment, first physical collaborative test, commencing!"

Brian's voice was transmitted through Spirit Eye to every unit.

"Target locked. Mode: Divine Authority Judgment (Aggregation)."

The moment the command was given.

Heaven and earth lost their color!

The central cannon barrels of the twelve Rings of Judgment erupted with an extreme light, like the birth of a supernova!

Twelve thick, bright white plasma torrents roared out, not a simple volley, but forcibly twisted and merged by the invisible coordination network the instant they left their muzzles!

A single ultimate energy beam, far wider in diameter than before, with dark purple and blazing white destructive energy flowing within it.

Like the thunder spear that pierced heaven and earth in myths, it calmly and irresistibly shot towards the distant giant fortress, fortified with multiple Level 6 protections, serving as the target.

There was no explosion.

Only the extreme burst of light and the subsequent nothingness that swallowed everything.

When the destructive light dissipated, the distant target, along with the hilltop it stood on, had completely vanished.

In its place remained only a massive, smooth, bottomless molten crater, as if a god had scooped out a piece with an invisible giant spoon.

On the monitoring screen, the values stabilized:

500,000 spell scale!

The physical test was a complete success!

Brian gazed at the twelve silver rings in the sky, which seemed to be breathing, a smile of absolute power gracing his face.

"Data recorded. Final Judgment officially deployed."

His gaze drifted into the distance, as if he could already see them bringing about the end for enemies on a true battlefield.

Above the firmament!

The Judgment power of civilization!

Had been forged!
