In Burning Legion, Xiao Ran finished reading the report in his hand. After casually placing the report on the table, he leaned back in his chair and gently rubbed his eyes. He didn't feel tired, but he felt that the situation presented in the report was a little complicated.
At this time, it had been almost a week since Tessa went to the Dyson Sphere for a visit. For Xiao Ran, there was nothing on Earth that required Xiao Ran to worry about and arrange. For the time being, it was still in the stage of intelligence gathering and follow-up arrangements. There was no problem that required Xiao Ran to solve personally.
Peace. For the past week, Earth had been quite peaceful. There were no dimensional beasts, no chaos, and no war. Nothing happened. According to Tessa's description of the frequency of dimensional beasts' appearances, the interval was between half a month to a month. It had only been a week since the last appearance of dimensional beasts. There might not even be dimensional beasts in another week. Naturally, there was no need to talk about attacking and retrieving dimensional beasts.
The intelligence analysis department sorted out all the recorded information about the locations and times of dimensional beasts' appearances. After comparing them with the Earth's model, they didn't find any significant connections between the locations and times of dimensional beasts' appearances. They appeared randomly in different places on Earth, and even their numbers and levels were random. It was impossible to determine where the dimensional beasts would appear next. After some research and analysis, they cited some messy analysis, but in the end, they couldn't be sure of anything. There were two hypotheses in the artificial analysis.
The first was that the dimensional beasts' current appearance on Earth was an attempt by the other party. In other words, the other party couldn't confirm the success rate of jumping from another world to this Earth. The multiple jumps now were just to find an accurate jump location. At the same time, they collected information about Earth and so on. They would only appear on a large scale after finding the possibility of a successful jump.
The second possibility was another thought that appeared from the first possibility. They believed that the force behind the dimensional beasts was already able to ensure the possibility of a successful jump to Earth. The dimensional beasts' multiple invasions with intervals might have an unknown purpose. They might be probing the strength of this world. It could also be due to some other reasons that they had to wait for a period of time and could only be released to a certain extent. However, the number of dimensional beasts released each time gradually increased. At the same time, their levels also increased. There was no way to confirm if there was any connection between the two for the time being. After all, there was too little material and insufficient information.
There wasn't any useful information from Tillandar's side. At the very least, they didn't find anything that might be suspected of being able to support a space-time jump in the bodies of these dead dimensional beasts. However, this didn't absolutely mean that the dimensional beasts didn't have the ability to jump individually. It could only be said that the conditions were insufficient and the support was insufficient to analyze it. The energy in the dimensional beasts' bodies had long lost its research value because they had been dead for too long. There was no use in studying the corpses. Now, Tillandar urgently needed a live dimensional beast to start the research work, but the dimensional beasts just didn't appear, so they could only sit and wait.
On Earth, Renard's feedback after coming into contact with the amalgam wasn't very good. Previously, the amalgam had already become a rat that everyone wanted to kill. In addition, Xiao Ran had made several operations and arrangements in this world. The amalgam could be said to have suffered a very serious blow.
Although the amalgam still existed, it was almost completely hidden and had begun to recuperate. Recently, due to the appearance of the dimensional beasts, there had been some improvements due to weapons and war. However, it was still in a quiet period, and its influence was no longer what it used to be. For Renard, there were many difficulties in arranging a force through the amalgam. The internal situation of the organization was also quite complicated, and it would take a long time to sort it out slowly. Xiao Ran also had to provide support.
Therefore, Renard's situation still required support. He had to wait and make arrangements. There was no room for maneuvering, and he could only take it step by step.
No matter how good El Erf's intelligence was, it was impossible for him to analyze everyone in the school in a week. There were quite a lot of people in the school, and because of the dimensional beast incident, many students had transferred over from Array Dai High School. However, it would take a lot of time to sort out everyone's information in paper form. It was not difficult to investigate every student's information. What took time was to review and analyze every student's information, find relevant information, and eliminate threats.
In terms of protecting Chidori Yao, Mingye and Soran were still the main focus. After a week, they had become friends with Chidori Yao. Mingye and Chidori had less contact, and according to the report, they did not find any threats around Chidori Yao for the time being, except for Xiangliang Sojie, the guy who always liked to cause trouble for no reason.
In addition, Chidori Yao did not seem to have anything wrong with her. He just felt that Chidori often had problems concentrating, had a bad temper, and sometimes did not rest well. He did not know the specific reason, but he was prepared to take a closer look to see if something was affecting Chidori Yao.
Perhaps for ordinary people, using mental power to affect others was simply a fantasy, but for participants, especially for a legion like the Burning Legion, who were proficient in mental power, it was not a rare thing. In the mission world, they had encountered people who were mentally controlled, so they were very suspicious of whether Chidori's situation was affected by something, although it was not. She was a participant with a mental power, but a magical power. However, her partner, Pru, was a Demoness, and naturally had a certain level of mental power. He could confirm whether Chidori was affected at night.
As the most special existence among the Whisperers, Chidori was the transmitter of all the Whisperers, but at the same time, she was also a receiver. It was not strange for her to be affected by unknown information and mental power. In the original storyline, Chidori Yao was also affected and leaned towards Renard, preparing to reboot the whole world.
In particular, this mission itself had a reminder that the world should not be rebooted. Since Chidori Yao was not mentally well and had not rested well, naturally they had to consider this aspect. They also had to determine the current state of Chidori Yao's mental state. If they did not get an accurate result, Xiao Ran was prepared to arrange for Uzzes and Ingram to go to Earth. If the situation was serious, Xiao Ran was also prepared to bring Chidori Yao back and control her before looking for the cause and solution.
All in all, the only thing Xiao Ran could do for the whole mission now was to wait. And this kind of waiting made Xiao Ran feel very troublesome. In the previous missions, Xiao Ran had done things like simply waiting, but considering the current situation, Xiao Ran felt that there were two completely different kinds of waiting.
Even if he didn't do anything, on the whole, it was positive, proactive, and able to achieve the goal. He could predict the result of waiting. Even if he didn't do anything, there wouldn't be any impact. He was waiting for the right opportunity and the right event. It could also be said that waiting was also included in the plan. From the overall situation, waiting was advantageous. If he was interested, he would guide and speed up the development.
And now, the waiting was a completely unknown future. He could only wait passively. The appearance of the Dimensional Beast had to wait because it could not be actively controlled or guided. If Dilandar wanted to study the Dimensional Beast, she had to wait for the Dimensional Beast to appear. This was not something that could be arranged.
The situation of the Amalgam was too bad. It was caused by Xiao Ran. Renard needed time to sort it out again. Xiao Ran was not prepared to intervene in this aspect, so he still had to wait. After the sorting out, Renard could begin the next step of the faction territory. As he could not use force to suppress the Amalgam, there were many methods that could not be used. He could only use proper means to achieve his goal.
As for the rest, it wasn't really a big deal. Xiao Ran reckoned that perhaps he was under too much pressure. This mission could be said to be the first time since he entered Prometheus that he was completely unable to grasp the future development of the situation.
The future of the All-Metal World had completely changed. Everything in this world had completely become the background of this mission. The power of the entire Earth was not enough to deal with the Dimensional Beast, let alone Xiao Ran's side. Instead, it had become a burden for Xiao Ran to fight against the Dimensional Beast and the forces behind it. Protecting Earth was more or less a part of the mission, wasn't it?
As for the Dimensional Beast and the leader behind it, Xiao Ran was really confused. He was in a state of 'don't ask me, I don't know'. There were too many unknowns that made Xiao Ran lose his grasp of the future situation. This made him a little uneasy, and the pressure came with it.
After all, this time, he had dragged a lot of people with him. The unknown often meant uncertainty, and it meant that threats could appear at any time. This feeling of not being able to control was terrible. Not everyone in the fleet was strong enough to protect themselves. If they were really attacked by a high-level pilot, there would be unnecessary losses.
In terms of combat ability, Xiao Ran was definitely confident. The big shots of many worlds were now under his command. It was quite impressive. The representative of the Demon God series, Kira and Aslan of the SEED series, Uzzes, Zeng Jia and Kiliam of the OG world, Invincible East, Domon of the G Gundam series, Zhi Lei Ma of the Project Pluto, Macross of the Ultra Space-Time Fortress, Sky Breaker, Tegaman, and so on. In addition to these participants, the scale and lineup were not worse than a robot war. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was more exaggerated. However, it was worth mentioning that the Fuzi Ship did not join this mission.
Therefore, in terms of combat, Xiao Ran was not weak. Now that the opponent dared to jump out, he really dared to lead a group of people and attack them until they could not take care of themselves. Now, he could not even find the target even if he wanted to attack. He was very passive. Xiao Ran did not like this kind of gratitude.
As for what kind of strength the opponent's leader had, Xiao Ran was not particularly concerned. In short, since it was a mission issued by Prometheus, it meant that it was definitely a mission that could be completed with their strength. It could not be a mission that could not be solved. With Xiao Ran's strength, even if he faced an S5, as long as the S5 could not suppress him, Xiao Ran would not feel guilty at all. What a joke. In the state of the quantum realm, he was almost invincible. Even if he could not kill the opponent, the opponent would not be able to kill him.
With the help of the master craftsman, Na Zi, Yozus, and the others, if the opponent could suppress his quantum realm, he did not believe that the opponent was omnipotent. With the advantage in terms of mental strength, there was no way he could win against the master craftsman in close combat. In short, there must be countless ways to kill the opponent.
The more Xiao Ran thought about the appearance of the dimensional beast, the more he felt that something was wrong. It was not about whether or not it would lead to a mecha battle in the end, but if the dimensional beast was really in another world, then what was up with this world of metal frenzy? It was one of the multi-dimensional worlds under a bigger realm. Did that mean that if he could obtain this world, it would be equivalent to obtaining another realm? The world of metal infinite reboot was originally a cluster of multi-dimensional worlds, but the dimensional beast definitely did not belong to this cluster, so it came from outside the cluster. It did not appear in this world from the beginning like before. Instead, it was this continuous appearance that made the situation more complicated.
If that was the case, the value of this world would become very high. But at the same time, if they couldn't lock the door shut, after this world became a faction territory, when the all-metal world was connected to other worlds, would existences like dimensional beasts infiltrate the territories of other factions? If that happened, it would be very troublesome.
Therefore, Xiao Ran did not understand the mechanism of this mission. This could no longer be considered an ordinary intruder. No matter what the reason was for Idean's appearance in World 0079, it was a one-time occurrence. But now, the dimensional beast was obviously not the case. At the very least, there had to be a reason, a cause and effect. Now, Xiao Ran did not know anything, and it was very annoying. He was completely confused.
There was no way to sit and wait in such a situation, but Xiao Ran was not prepared to just sit there and do nothing. He had to find something to do first.
