Xiao Ran was very interested in the fantasy zone. However, he had long since given up on the idea of going to the fantasy zone. There was a high probability that he would not be able to return. He could not afford to take such a risk. Instead, he sent FlyingEagle's entire Beast Squad to the fantasy zone. He did not know what the situation was over there. Did FlyingEagle and the others encounter any danger? Did they find the remains of Prometheus?
The Army of Myth's foundation was indeed terrifying, even in Xiao Ran's opinion. Although the Burning Legion had quite a number of S-class Pilots, it was a completely different concept from the Army of Myth. The Army of Myth had more than two hundred S-class Pilots, while the Burning Legion did not have that many S-class Pilots before.
With the power of just one army, there was not a single B-class Pilot in the entire army. It was definitely a top-notch combat power, not to mention that the Army of Myth did not have a camp territory? Did they not have S-class Pilots in their territory?
Moreover, the Army of Myth was all orphans in the fantasy zone, so they must have inherited countless resources from the participants in the fantasy zone. In the fantasy zone, there were the Reality Series, the Super Series, and the Pure Fantasy Series. How could the combination of these three series be worse than the Burning Legion?
The Army of Myth was definitely the most powerful army that Xiao Ran knew. It was the only super army that could really face the Burning Legion head-on. It was like the opposite of the Burning Legion, but fortunately, John Doe and the Army of Myth did not have the intention to fight the Burning Legion head-on.
After experiencing the tragic past in the fantasy zone, the participants of the Army of Myth felt a little enlightened. They no longer pursued the greater goal of breaking free from Prometheus with all their S-class Pilots, so they were not willing to provoke the Burning Legion like Enlightenment and Borsia, who might have the same actual strength as them.
There were no direct conflicts or conflicts between the two sides. On the contrary, there were many areas where both sides could work together. The specifics could be discussed slowly later. If they could sign a cooperation contract, Nameless would be much more relieved. Xiao Ran would also not have to worry about the Army of Myth scheming against him behind the scenes. Who knew when they would suddenly go crazy and cause another army battle.
After Wu Ming finished, Xiao Ran asked, "What do those towers mean? Can you tell me more about them? I'm very curious about them."
The Tower was referring to Prometheus. What Xiao Ran wanted to ask was the meaning and mechanism of Prometheus' existence in that world.
Nameless was silent for a while, as if he was thinking. "It's not a god, but it's a miracle. Perhaps it's a relic left behind by a higher-dimensional civilization. It's also a holy temple in the hearts of many forces and civilizations."
"All the Towers represent the network nodes that may cover the entire world. We participants have never really explored the edge of that world, but there are Towers in many places in that world."
"The Spire is managed by it. It's like a giant monument that stands in every corner of the universe. Every Spire radiates a huge region. If you've played games before, it'll be easier to understand. It's like the safe zone of that region, the main city."
"You can buy supplies, create, and strengthen in the Towers. The space inside the Towers is like the concept of the real zone. You can completely figure it out and teleport. However, you can only teleport to the Towers that you have personally visited."
"The participants who are summoned will definitely appear in the initial Tower. However, the various forces in the universe can also come into contact with Prometheus. It's just that they can't use some of the functions of Prometheus, such as attribute strengthening, and they can't use the Tower to go to the mission world to train. However, they can use other methods to strengthen themselves. Furthermore, they can also use the bloodline circulating in Prometheus. They can also accept some of the missions issued by Prometheus."
"In that world, an army doesn't have to be made up of participants. It can also be made up of natives and participants."
"Participants are called Tower Messengers by the natives. Generally, the natives who join Prometheus, who are qualified to accept missions from Prometheus, are called Tower Mercenaries."
"There are many missions, either to collect certain things or to kill certain monsters. However, there is also a kind of elimination mission in the Tower. It's to kill some individuals that Prometheus considers a threat. It's to eliminate those forces that go against Prometheus and become a threat."
"Although there are many Towers over there, now that I think about it carefully, the location where the Towers appear is more like an act of declaring territory. After the participants and mercenaries eliminate a force without a Tower, a new Tower will soon appear in that place."
"Since there are Towers and Tower Mercenaries, there will naturally be people who oppose the Towers. Some natives think that the Towers are invaders who plunder their resources, slaughter their people, and occupy their territory. Many of these forces have joined forces and fought against the Towers.
… Then, we started a war with the Tower. In the end, both sides suffered great losses, and we became the last participants to escape. "
John Doe said so, but he deliberately paused. Then he gave Xiao Ran a meaningful look.
Xiao Ran understood John Doe's look. The part that was deliberately paused should be the part that he couldn't say, and that meaningful look always had a meaning that Xiao Ran understood.
So, what did those forces do when they joined forces? It was definitely not just a war. If it was just a war, there was no need to deliberately pause.
And those forces that joined forces eventually threatened Prometheus. Although the final result was that both sides suffered great losses, in the end, they still drove Prometheus out of their world. This could be said to be Prometheus' failure.
Therefore, when those factions joined forces, they must have done something that would have greatly affected Prometheus and brought an even greater threat to him. What would these things be like? Would they limit Prometheus' ability, or find a way to pull out the Tower and limit Prometheus' influence? Or would they take the Tower for their own use?
There were all three possibilities. Xiao Ran wanted to tell John Doe that he didn't understand. Please explain more clearly, but he could only think about it. John Doe definitely wouldn't dare to say it out loud.
Recalling John Doe's gaze, pauses, and tone a moment ago, Xiao Ran's eyes slowly flashed with understanding. "Was Prometheus' power stolen?"
"But it shouldn't be all of them. Perhaps a few towers were cut off from Prometheus, but more towers should have taken the initiative to destroy Prometheus when Prometheus discovered that his power had been stolen and was unable to defend himself."
"John Doe also said that many towers were destroyed, and Prometheus must have been restricted by something. Otherwise, he could have sent the participants from the super zone and the real zone as reinforcements."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran nodded at John Doe. "Thank you for telling me so much today."
"You're welcome," John Doe said. "But this is the last thing I can say. Just treat it as a story."
Xiao Ran nodded. The information he knew now could only be treated as a story. Flying Eagle and the others had already gone there, so it was too late to tell them this. However, even if he did tell them, it wouldn't make much sense. It wouldn't affect their actions.
Flying Eagle was a clever little guy. If he investigated the relevant information over there, he would definitely add a mission to investigate the Tower.
However, after hearing what John Doe said about the past in the fantasy zone, Xiao Ran felt that it was very interesting. The rules were completely different from the super zone and the real zone. In gaming terms, it was a completely open game. There were missions, items, rewards, large maps, and dungeons. There were professional players and semi-professional players.
After chatting for a while, the two of them left. The signing of the alliance agreement naturally didn't require the two of them to come personally. They could just send their own army's personnel to deal with it. On Xiao Ran's side, it was naturally Cruzet or Aeschi. As for who the Army of Myth would send, Xiao Ran didn't know. In any case, he wouldn't be the one to contact them.
More than ten days later, another shocking incident occurred in the real zone. Someone discovered that some of the top fifty legions had been completely removed from the list. These legions were all legions that had lost to the Burning Legion. Being completely removed from the list meant that these legions no longer existed.
As for the original army's resources and personnel, they didn't need to be replenished. This made the participants who had been paying attention to the Burning Legion's war further confirm the huge loss of the defeated army. Needless to say, they must have been replenished by other armies that had suffered huge losses.
Moreover, all the remaining armies had in fact become the assets of the Burning Legion. This also meant that the Burning Legion had completely reorganized in a short period of time after defeating the enemy. Although the original number two Enlightenment, number three Borsia, and number six Limestone still existed, they had completely become the subordinates of the Burning Legion.
In addition to the current number five Emerald Dream, needless to say, the Burning Legion had become the de facto leader of the real zone. More than half of the top fifty armies were the underlings of the Burning Legion.
With just one army battle, the real zone had changed. The Burning Legion had suddenly appeared like a hidden dragon emerging from the sea, shrouding the entire real zone and flying above the heads of all the participants and armies. These people could only hide in the shadows and tremble, or completely integrate into the shadow of the dragon.
In fact, Xiao Ran had never thought about becoming the most handsome boy in the real zone. He only wanted to develop steadily in the fourth place and keep a low profile. Whether it was the army council or the five-man council, he rarely spoke and only watched the show. Now that the result was too high profile, Xiao Ran really didn't want to.
But since things had already developed to this point, there was no use in keeping a low profile. Then, he might as well become the number one in the real zone and justifiably rope in more participants to join him. Firstly, he could prepare to overthrow the Prometheus in the future. Secondly, strengthening the control of these participants could also prevent undesirable situations in the real universe.
Finally, Cruzet finally brought the information he had collected to Xiao Ran. He placed the storage device on Xiao Ran's table with a solemn expression.
Xiao Ran reached out and picked up the storage device that was about the size of a mahjong tile on the table. He looked at Cruzet and asked, "What's the situation?"
Cruzet pulled a chair over and sat in front of the table. "It's the star map you wanted. But before I came here, I brought it to Kiliam's analysis department and had some bad conjectures."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. He closed his eyes and nodded. "Tell me, what did you find from these star maps?"
Cruzet narrowed his eyes and said, "The situation might be worse than what we originally imagined about the Prometheus."
Xiao Ran said, "Don't keep me in suspense."
Cruzet said, "That's right. After comparing the star maps and various tests, the result is that all the participants came from the same universe. Now, all the members have signed the star map confidentiality agreement. Now, everyone is waiting for the next step. You need to think about this."
Xiao Ran pursed his lips and nodded. "What about Earth?"
Cruzet said, "The other situation is that the star map you have is different from the one we have in the territory. There are some general similarities, but many details are different."
Xiao Ran asked, "What do you mean?"
"For example, in our current star map, Earth's position is in the solar system of the spiral arm of the Milky Way. However, the star map you have in your hand shows that there is a chaotic star field, and there is no specific star map that can clearly show that there is an Earth there. There are two possibilities. The first is that the star map collected by everyone is not comprehensive enough due to the civilization's ability. The second is that the star map in the real universe is different from what we know now. Even if there is only a difference of 15%, it is very scary."
"So, you need to go back to Earth and get back the star map that your Earth has detected to compare. At the same time, we need to make more arrangements to let the S-class pilots return to their hometowns. We need to prepare enough drones, super AI, and professionally modulated special cores, related technologies, and so on. We need to let them completely control their civilization and then spend time to accurately draw the star map."
Xiao Ran nodded. "This needs to be arranged. Let the technical department follow up. Also, what is the worst conjecture?"
Cruzet leaned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said, "It is very likely that the real universe will become the second fantasy zone."
Xiao Ran was stunned and repeated with uncertainty, "Can you say that again?"
Cruzet roughly understood Xiao Ran's disbelief and said, "Based on the analysis of all the fantasy zones obtained from John Doe, the previous fantasy zone is very likely to be a real universe. Although it is a bit far-fetched, this is the biggest possibility given by the analysis department."
"If you consider us as the second generation of participants, then the first generation of participants were recruited from the original fantasy zone. Once the first generation of participants developed to a certain degree, they could return to their own world and bring back the technology they obtained from Prometheus, thus developing various civilizations."
"Perhaps many years have passed, or perhaps the first-generation participants have died, or perhaps the first-generation participants have left Prometheus. It is more likely that the first-generation participants have become the natives of Prometheus, or perhaps the first-generation participants who supported Prometheus and opposed Prometheus in the fantasy zone were the first-generation participants. After all, only the participants understand Prometheus the best and can restrict Prometheus the most."
"In any case, Prometheus' power penetrated that world and selected the second-generation participants, which is our generation. Of course, it was not you, but the participants in the fantasy zone who began to gradually expand Prometheus' influence in the real universe. For any reason, it could be to increase the strength of the multiverse, or to take control of that universe."
"The civilizations left behind by the first-generation participants who opposed and the second-generation participants who supported had even started to fight, resulting in the loss of the fantasy zone."
"Then after this, do you think that the second generation of participants' homeworld would become Prometheus' new target, becoming a new fantasy zone? After carefully grooming so many S-class pilots, would Prometheus just leave them to their own devices? There has to be a way to make use of these S-grade pilots. "
"We have to hurry up, even if we have to go to the fantasy zone personally."
