"This guy is truly innocently adorable, so easily entrusting me with his most important possession," Xiar thought, a brilliant smile spreading across his face, surprised at how simple it was.
Previously, he had only secretly borrowed a fraction of the other party's power, yet now he possessed the highest authority to control him.
This indicated that the other party had complete trust in him, like a child holding a nuclear button, handing it over to Xiar while standing aside to watch him use it!
Xiar was momentarily taken aback, not expecting such trust from the other party, which made him feel a bit uneasy.
However, he quickly regained his composure and realized what he needed to do.
In the outside world, the Great Banyan Tree Phantom obscured the sun and devoured everything in its path, creating a massive void spanning hundreds to thousands of meters. All the seaweed within this range was completely consumed.
Not only that, but the branches of the Great Banyan Tree also extended into the Net of Magic Algae, resembling a clawing tentacle monster that spread along countless threads, rapidly occupying an enormous area.
This was a contingency left by Chloe; she catalyzed the collective consciousness of the Sea of Devil's Algae, intending to devour the opponent without leaving any means behind.
Otherwise, once the opponent truly developed an independent consciousness, even something as formidable as the Great Banyan Tree would be utterly defenseless!
It was indeed challenging. Xiar helplessly observed that after gaining the highest authority granted by the Demon Algae Consciousness Entity, the vast sensing network quickly dimmed in patches.
These dimming areas were precisely those being counter-controlled and even destroyed by the opponent.
Moreover, the darkened regions spread rapidly like a forest fire, gradually engulfing everything around them. This caused the power of the Net of Magic Algae to diminish by one-third almost instantly and continue to decline rapidly.
"Well then, it seems I have to return to my old ways."
Xiar sighed helplessly as his mental energy instantly merged into the entire network, transforming into countless tendrils that extended and reached every corner in an instant.
Then, he felt himself transform into a vast and boundless ocean, the entire Sea of Devil's Algae under his control.
"Now, the Net of Magic Algae is equivalent to a network, while the Great Banyan Tree Phantom spreading represents a virus invading that network. What I need to do now is construct a firewall to monitor, identify, isolate the virus, and eliminate it while restoring the damaged areas."
"Then, let's begin!"
In his past life as a security management programmer, Xiar thought he would never again encounter the internet. Little did he know he would engage with such an enigmatic web in this manner.
After gaining the highest authority, Xiar felt his mental strength temporarily break through some boundary, acquiring the incredible power of Illusory becoming reality, where thought could influence the real world.
With this enhancement, he felt as if he possessed the latest supercomputer, using his mental thoughts as programming language and the Web of Consciousness as the computer network, weaving and constructing antivirus software from scratch!
The transcendent calculations allowed Xiar to vaguely see a long river with countless tributaries flowing through an inexplicable space, where innumerable Consciousness Entities drifted.
This was—River of Fate!
The river flowed endlessly, with countless tributaries weaving into a net that seemed to control everything in existence—the Web of Fate.
The futures of countless individuals floated within it; powerful thoughts attempted to break free but could not escape this net, just as humans cannot pull themselves up by their own hair.
"Even without the prophet Story Database, the future can still be predicted. Everything appears to have countless possibilities yet ultimately flows back to its original trajectory; it's merely a bend in the road."
Xiar suddenly felt a suffocating sadness, as if trapped in a cage where no amount of struggle could lead to freedom.
"Countless moments weave into futures heading in different directions, yet these myriad futures are influenced by numerous environments and people, all converging towards a predetermined future..."
After a brief transcendence, Xiar returned to reality once more, like a fish leaping out of a pond, catching sight of the vast world beyond, only to fall back into the pond, destined to live and die in this confined space.
The fish could not breathe the nutrients in the air; leaving the pond meant only one path—death. Wasn't he in the same predicament?
However, even a scientist gazing at the void must pay attention to the road beneath his feet.
In that fleeting moment of realization, it felt as if his soul had undergone a kind of baptism, subtly changing within him.
The most evident change was that he became increasingly adept at controlling the Net of Magic Algae. Countless Purple Light Dots shimmered, weaving together an Antivirus Program with lightning speed.
In the next instant, the mental consciousness that was about to rebel was abruptly pulled from the myriad of Demon Algae consciousnesses surrounding him, which instantly extinguished it.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Xiar seemed to hear the sound of countless faint consciousnesses shattering. These were spies hidden within the Net of Magic Algae, sent by the Great Banyan Tree. They had previously infiltrated it and could cause its collapse at a moment's notice, thereby consuming the Consciousness Entity nurtured by the Net of Magic Algae!
But it was too late. After Xiar crafted an Antivirus Program, countless hidden spies were eradicated.
The severed threads were reconnected and repaired, allowing Xiar's commands to flow freely throughout the Net of Magic Algae.
Detecting lurking spies!
Eradicating spy consciousness!
Repairing damaged networks!
Build the firewalls!
Resist the subsequent attacks!
After a series of actions, Chloe was horrified to discover that the backup she had left behind was being systematically annihilated by the enemy!
Previously, the Great Banyan Tree had consumed a massive amount of life essence to create the Flower of Life, thereby nurturing the enemy's consciousness and constructing this unprecedented Web of Consciousness.
Throughout this process, the Great Banyan Tree's intricate consciousness had already merged into it, permeating most of the Net of Magic Algae.
But now, she had suddenly lost this control.
The Antivirus Program had been fully activated, exterminating the vast majority of the hidden threads of consciousness left by the Great Banyan Tree, halting its erosion of the Net of Magic Algae. Instead, it was forcibly expelled, severing and annihilating its conscious thoughts, suffering severe trauma in the process.
This left the Pirate Queen seething with rage as she shouted, "You are my created pet; how dare you resist me! If you dare to defy me, then die!"
In the next moment, she activated her strongest trump card, and the seal inscribed on the central Consciousness Entity erupted.
This explosion was like detonating a bomb inside a person's head, shattering their entire brain!
Xiar's vigorous detoxification efforts were instantly dealt a fatal blow. The Net of Magic Algae, which had previously been under his complete control, began to shake violently.
This turmoil was not due to a virus invasion; it was as if someone was pulling out the network cable or even blowing up a mobile signal station!
