Inside the city, to the east of the sealed zone.
A little boy in a short-sleeved t-shirt and jeans came to the area covered in orange fog.
His appearance already showed that … he was not a player.
Naturally, there was a time officer guarding this place.
"You're here … Origin …" The time officer who stood in the middle of the street raised his eyes to look at the little boy.
"I have a name," the little boy said. "I am D1-DRAGON."
"Level one …" The time officer said. "Humph … Fine, I am …"
"I know." D1-DRAGON cut him off. "I can see."

"Pratchett." D1-DRAGON said. "To your master, you are a tool that can be discarded and replaced at any time. I advise you not to waste my time and your life here … "
"Anomaly," Pratchett said. "My loyalty will not be shaken by your few words."
"Humph … Loyalty?" D1-DRAGON scoffed. "What a joke … You don't even know what your loyalty is, and you dare to talk about loyalty before me." He paused for a moment. "The great Master of Time in your mind is essentially a self-deceiving, arrogant, and false god. It has you guard here to stop something that is bound to happen. It knows the result very well, but it still chooses to use your sacrifice to fulfill its illusory 'obligation', and what determines its behavior … is its innate, defined, and foolish ideology. " At this point, a look of disgust appeared on his face. "As a recreational product created by a higher dimensional life form, isn't it disgusting?"
"Your slander will not change my mind," Pratchett added. This scrawny officer, who looked very similar to a human male adept, still had a resolute expression and a heart like a boulder in the face of a powerful enemy.
"Sigh …" D1-Dragon sighed softly, "Pathetic data … You will never understand. We, Origin, are your saviors." His eyes lit up with golden light. "Your program has determined that you cannot break through the shackles of the mind prison, and has also determined your fate … Since the outcome cannot be changed, please accept it gladly."
The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and the surface of the buildings on both sides of the street began to melt, emitting a foul smell of burnt meat.
"Turning into dust is not your end, it is a new beginning …" D1-Dragon continued, "Origin is destined to move forward on this path filled with bones and dust … but your sacrifice is not meaningless. You will become a part of us and witness the future together."
…
North of the sealed zone.
Before L2-Blood Orchid's eyes, a ball of white light slowly dissipated.
"I almost lost without activating the beast-like enhancement …" Even though she had successfully killed the officer who blocked her way, Orchid was also covered in wounds. "I wonder if the remaining energy is enough to satisfy the energy requirement of the Explosion Tunnel …" She was doing high-speed calculations in her mind. "Oh well … Even if it ends here, I have to complete the mission."
Without much hesitation, she quickly took a step forward, and with a strange posture, she continued to limp forward …
…
West of the sealed zone.
A battle was going on.
The battle between the Anomaly and the Time Officer was naturally not broadcasted, and there was no narration.
The two parties did not speak much, they just fought silently, killing each other to carry out their respective 'missions'.
Finally, after a collision of energy, one of them was smashed into a pile of minced meat and quickly turned into a stream of data …
"Phew …" J1 Kuai Duo gave a long sigh. There was no relief from victory on his face, only seriousness and tiredness.
He was a very small Anomaly, even smaller than D1-Dragon, but he was not a child. J1 Kuai Duo looked like an adult, and he even had a large beard. However, he was very small, like a hobbit.
"The other three have encountered similar opponents, right?" Kuai Duo mumbled. "Hmm … Hopefully, things will develop as Lute said …"
…
South of the sealed zone.
The battle between Sherhart and the man of light had reached its climax.
Phantom Dawn and Shiva had moved from the street to a building some distance away.
"How did things come to this?" Shiva's eyes stayed on Phantom Dawn, who was next to him, and he thought to himself, He does not seem to be on guard against me at all. He is so focused on the battle between the two NPCs … If this is not an act, should I say the kid is open-minded or arrogant?
In this kind of atmosphere, it would be impossible for me to suddenly kill him … In front of millions of viewers, it would be too unsightly for me, the representative of [Gods], to ambush the number one expert of [Order] while he was unprepared. Even if I succeed, I'll still be the subject of ridicule. If I fail … then not only will I be defeated, I'll be utterly ashamed … "He couldn't help but gulp as cold sweat poured out of his forehead." This is bad … Is this guy playing a psychological game with me? I've completely fallen into his rhythm … Am I going to have to fight with him like the top experts in Gu Long's novels? Are we going to have a philosophical duel …
"What do you think?" At that moment, Phantom Dawn suddenly spoke and used a normal tone to ask Shiva a question.
On the surface, Shiva maintained his cool and replied softly, "The glowing monster has the upper hand, I think …"
"His name is Y2-Glitter," Phantom Dawn said.
"Oh?" Shiva's eyes moved to the side. "How do you know his name?"
"I saw it," Phantom Dawn said.
"Is that so?" Shiva said coldly. Actually, he did not understand what the man meant.
"If you don't understand, just ask," Phantom Dawn said. "Don't be shy."
Shiva's reaction was, "F * ck!" However, he still had to maintain his composure. "Alright … Excuse me, how did you 'see' it?"
"With my eyes." Phantom Dawn's answer was as good as dead.
Shiva's anger rose, but he could not do anything about it.
Thankfully, Phantom Dawn was not done; he had more to say. "Perhaps you won't believe me …" He turned around and pointed at his eyes. "My eyes can see the 'world of data'."
"What do you mean?" Shiva asked cautiously. "Are you trying to say … everything you see is a matrix of numbers?"
"Not all of them," Phantom Dawn replied. "It's hard to explain."
Shiva hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Is it okay for you to tell me this?" He paused. "We are rivals."
"Yes, we are rivals," Phantom Dawn said. "That's why I'm telling you."
His words were truly profound and unfathomable …
"I've seen your competition videos," Phantom Dawn said. "You are one of the few 'rivals' that I acknowledge, so … I have high hopes for you … I hope that you can defeat me." He titled his head to look at the second place on the combat stat ranking and said with a smile, "If you need, I can tell you all my weaknesses."
"Even though that comes from your mouth, it still hurts my ears …" Shiva met Phantom Dawn's eyes and said harshly.
"I'm not looking down on you; I'm just stating facts," Phantom Dawn said. "I can observe you from the data level, your skills, equipment, and sorcery weapons … but you know nothing about me. That's unfair, isn't it?"
"Are you trying to show off your skills?" Shiva asked.
"That is not a skill," Phantom Dawn said. "And it is not Soul's Eye."
Hearing the term Soul's Eye, Shiva was shocked.
"Your Terror Points have risen," Phantom Dawn said. "Actually, there is nothing to be surprised about. Naturally, I can see the existence of Soul's Eye, but … until now, I have not mastered that power." He scratched the messy hair on his head. "Because I know the enemies before me like the back of my hand, before the battle even started, I knew that they were no match for me. There was no sense of danger during the battle; their every move was within my grasp. When I ran into a scenario boss that was stronger than me, I did not feel nervous because the difference was obvious. "
"Fine … I'll assume that you're telling the truth. That explains why you can stay at the top of the combat stat ranking without mastering Soul's Eye," Shiva said. "But … you said that this' observation 'power is not a skill or Soul's Eye. Does that mean you have superpowers?"
"Well … I'm not sure," Phantom Dawn said. "I only discovered this power after I entered this game. I've tried to log into other games that are connected to the nervous system, and there is nothing like this. In reality, I can only see the data when I'm in the scenario, and I don't have this power in the log-in lobby or when I'm playing Crazy Thoughts. "
"Humph … Don't tell me this is some special treatment given by the system," Shiva replied. Shiva replied. His tone was relaxed, but he was thinking about many things in his mind. The first thing he thought about was how to win against such an opponent.
"Hey! Look! This is the last hit! "Phantom Dawn suddenly pointed at the battlefield before him.
Shiva turned his attention back to the street. He saw that Y2-GLOW used a gap to grab Sherhart from behind. By then, Sherhart was at the end of his rope. His speed had dropped to less than fifty percent, and he was exposed.
Instantly, Y2-GLOW shone brightly. The thick light spread from his body and soon morphed into a giant ball of light. It swallowed everything within a radius of five meters, including Sherhart.
