The appearance of a tower representing Prometheus in the real universe meant that the analysis department's previous speculation that the real universe might become the next fantasy zone had been confirmed.
This was not a good thing for the participants who came from the real universe. Their home would directly face the threat from Prometheus, the participants, and even the participants from another world.
Xiao Ran was silent for a moment before asking, "Have you found any signs of these towers operating?"
Cang shook his head and said, "We didn't get close to these towers. We only isolated them after discovering them. In addition, we are also worried that if we get close to the towers, we might trigger some other problems."
"You're right. We can't get close to them." Xiao Ran nodded and stood up to pace back and forth, as if thinking about how to deal with the problem of the towers.
Everyone looked at each other. Cruzet said, "Perhaps this is our chance."
Xiao Ran stopped in his tracks. "I know this is an opportunity, but it's also a risk. We can't be sure how Prometheus will react to our contact with the towers."
"But it doesn't matter. Even if we send out the current participants, most of them won't let Prometheus occupy the real universe. But the problem is whether Prometheus will issue the highest level of erasure mission to get the participants to protect Prometheus. This is one of the reasons."
"Secondly, even if we enter the towers, how can we break the tower's connection with Prometheus and obtain the tower's ownership?"
Xiao Ran said, "I know someone who might be able to give us a solution, but I'm afraid the person who knows these methods won't be able to say it."
"The Army of Myth has no name. Most of the people in the Army of Myth are remnants of the previous fantasy zone. He might know how the natives of the previous fantasy zone dealt with Prometheus, but he should have a limit. But I can take a gamble at the critical moment."
Cruzet nodded slightly. "That authority? If there's a situation, only you can return safely and bring back news."
"There's still a chance. There are other ways." Xiao Ran suddenly said, "There should be another way to cut off the connection between those towers and Prometheus."
"But before that, we need to make some preparations and test the waters. Cang, Na Zi, you two arrange for people to launch an attack on one of the towers. Give them something from the technical department, like a space-sealing device or something similar."
"If anything happens during your probing, stop immediately and choose the best way to deal with the problem. Try to collect information and bring it back."
"Then, the next step is to wait." Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "When I have the chance to return, I might be able to find a way to restrict those towers and eventually seize control of them. From there, I can decipher Prometheus' secrets and gain the ability to resist Prometheus and completely control him."
"And even if we fail in the end, we still have a final trump card in our hands. We can still force Prometheus to give up his control over us."
Cruzet suddenly laughed. When everyone looked at Cruzet, he shook his head.
Bai Hechou seemed to understand Cruzet's meaning. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "In short, we are in an invincible position. Discovering the tower is also the best opportunity. It will also become Prometheus' biggest weakness. Prometheus, who has been hiding all this time, has really exposed his weakness to us this time."
"This time, the initiative is in our hands. Moreover, Xiao Ran has a special authority that even Prometheus can't do anything about. But at the same time, we also have to hit the nail on the head. If we fail, the worst result will be to retreat without a fight and leave Prometheus with the territory. Although this is not our goal, it is also the best result. Prometheus should also be afraid of us now."
Xiao Ran said to everyone, "The technical department will temporarily stop all other unimportant projects. Everyone will focus on the world-class containment research. The analysis department will continue to analyze Prometheus."
In short, they would first probe and then collect information. If they could deal with Xiao Ran, then they would immediately do so. If they couldn't, then they could only wait until they returned to their homeland and have a chat with the Guardian of their homeland. It would be best if they could obtain something from the Guardian that could restrict Prometheus' ability in the real universe.
In the eyes of Cruzet and the others, the appearance of the tower represented an excellent opportunity. It was a good opportunity for the Burning Legion to obtain their own Prometheus tower and break the current stalemate. At least, it was better than not knowing what to do now.
The tower was something that directly represented the essence of Prometheus compared to the real world. Moreover, it was confirmed that the tower had the same ability as Prometheus, and every tower was the same. In addition, the original tower in the fantasy zone had also been controlled, which meant that the Burning Legion also had a chance to control the tower.
However, they couldn't be impulsive. The opportunity was right in front of them, and it wasn't their style to foolishly rush in. It was reasonable for them to make some arrangements. It would be easier for them to find a way to control Prometheus tower by probing and obtaining some information.
Cruzet said to Xiao Ran, "I think maybe you can talk to John Doe. Maybe he can become one of our people.
… But maybe he will become one of Prometheus's people and eventually become our enemy. "
"Talk to him and confirm this point, so that we don't know what's going on when the enemy suddenly appears. Comparing the combat power of both sides, they can obviously invest more high-level combat power in the real world than we can. At the same time, they obviously know more about the situation in the fantasy zone than we do."
"And we also have to figure out if these towers were really made by Prometheus. The more we are in a situation like this, the more we need to be calm and not guess and doubt anything."
"Not only the Army of Myth needs to be probed, but Prometheus himself also needs to be probed. We also need to increase our current strength and find a way to go to the real world. It's best if one of me, Bai Hechou, Uzzes, and Kiliam can go to the real world to coordinate, but it would be best if all of us can go."
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly. He was not in a hurry now, and Cruzet made a lot of sense. They did need to probe the Army of Myth to prevent them from becoming their enemy, and if they encountered such a situation, the Burning Legion would fall into an extremely passive situation.
After all, the Army of Myth and the Burning Legion had signed a certain degree of cooperation, including the clause that both sides would not be enemies. In other words, the Burning Legion could not declare war on the Army of Myth through Prometheus, but in the real world, there was no need to declare war at all. So if the Army of Myth sided with Prometheus, the Burning Legion would be in a very difficult and passive situation.
Prometheus himself should be probing, and for Prometheus, he could be more direct and ask why there was a tower in the real world to confirm Prometheus' reaction.
Xiao Ran looked at everyone present. The Burning Legion must control the tower and let the Burning Legion obtain Prometheus' power. Even if they were chased out of Prometheus in the end, the tower must be in their hands. The ability to travel between worlds without restrictions, the ability to connect different worlds together, these abilities were the foundation for the Burning Legion to stay together forever in the future.
Obviously, none of the bosses present wanted to retire. If he did not find something for them to do, they would probably find something for him to do. This … For the sake of long-term peace and stability, Xiao Ran felt that it was more appropriate to find something for them to do.
Therefore, it was either to seize Prometheus or to seize the tower. It would be best if both sides fell into his hands.
After a series of discussions and arrangements, Na Zi and Cang hurriedly left Prometheus and returned to the real world with their normal S-class pilot authority. They began to make preparations to test the towers and collect information.
This aspect was mainly handled by Cang because if the results of the test were not right, they might need to do something ruthless. Compared to Na Zi, Cang was more suitable to do such things.
Cang first picked out a few people from his civilization. These people all had a very important characteristic, and that was that they were extremely loyal to their families, friends, love, and duty. Moreover, they were all people who were affected by Eon's death.
He found these people and gathered them together. Then, he trained them, taught them, and forcibly detained all their families, lovers, and important friends and moved them to a place personally arranged by Cang. He also prepared three battleships for these people. As long as they waited for the equipment provided by the technical department, they would be directly sent on their way to come into contact with the towers.
Cang told these people that they must complete the mission. If they did not complete the mission, they would die. The people they cared about would also die. However, as long as they completed the mission, their identities would be restored and they would be given a higher status than before. They would also receive a lot of other rewards.
Whether it was taking advantage of people's difficulties or coercion, these people who were originally implicated and turned into sinners all agreed to the mission given by Cang because of the guilt they felt towards their families, friends, and lovers. Cang did not care what kind of choice these people would make in the end.
Prometheus had God-like abilities, but in the end, he wasn't a true God that was omnipotent. At the very least, Prometheus couldn't directly grant these ordinary people God-like abilities, so if these selected people truly chose to betray him, then it would be best to just kill them all.
Cang did not believe that the Burning Legion had sent so many S-class pilots to the real universe. In addition to the various equipment provided by the Burning Legion, their bodies could not kill these people. Moreover, there were also the true confidants of these Burning Legion participants in the real world hidden in this group of people. They were the kind of warriors who volunteered to lurk among them to protect their country from future threats.
This way, whatever these people came into contact with, what they encountered, and what they encountered would not be hidden from Cang and the others.
This arrangement could be said to be quite stable. Cang was not in a hurry to act now. He would only order them to act after all the preparations were done.
On the other side, Xiao Ran returned to Prometheus' personal living area alone. Then, he called out Prometheus again.
"Participant number 678, Xiao Ran. Are you willing to accept my deal?"
This time, only Xiao Ran heard Prometheus' voice. Xiao Ran paused for a moment and said, "Why are you so anxious to make this deal with me? What are you worried about?"
Prometheus was silent, but in the end, he answered, "Chaos."
"Chaos?" Xiao Ran laughed, somewhat mockingly. "Are you worried that I will cause chaos?"
Prometheus did not answer the question. "I need to recover my lost parts and reunite."
Xiao Ran continued, "It seems like you don't have any control over the fantasy zone at all. It's even possible that the part of you you left behind in the fantasy zone could become a tool controlled by the natives in the fantasy zone. Are you worried that the natives in the fantasy zone will come here through the other part of you and start a war with you here?"
Prometheus said, "What you said is possible. In order to protect everything and maintain Prometheus' normal operation, I need to recover my lost parts."
Xiao Ran said, "I have a question to ask you."
"I can answer any question within my authority."
Xiao Ran laughed noncommittally. "The tower in the fantasy zone represents your avatar in the fantasy zone. I think you should know the question I want to ask. Why do these towers exist in the universe where participants are born? What do you want to do?"
Prometheus said, "This question is not within your authority."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Ran spread his hands and said calmly, "If you can lose a part in the fantasy zone, you can also lose a part in the real universe."
Is Xiao Ran threatening me? This is a threat! It is the kind of threat that I know in fact that you are threatening me, but I can't prove it.
Prometheus should still have some intelligence. He heard the threat in Xiao Ran's words. After a moment of silence, he said, "Establish coordinates to determine the participant's choice, return, and teleport. At the same time, provide protection to the universe within range."
Xiao Ran asked, "In other words, those towers were created by you and not by others, right?"
