Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

282: One man charges in, taking the enemy general’s head from among thousands of soldiers!The light dissipated, and the world inverted.

When Lu Chen’s feet touched ”solid ground” again, everything around him had changed.

Gone was the cold vacuum of space, gone was the brilliant galaxy; in their place was a bizarre space composed of countless flowing data streams, distorted geometric shapes, and collapsed physical laws.

This was the internal logic layer of the ”genesis engine,” a dimension between reality and virtuality, matter and consciousness.

”Is this the world infected by the virus?”

Lu Chen frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings.

The sky was a pale, static noise, and the ground was a quagmire of constantly squirming black code.

The air was filled with a nauseating stench, like that of rotting data.

”Roar—!!!”

Before he could even steady his footing, a shrill roar came from all directions.

Suddenly, the black quagmire boiled, and countless hideous monsters composed of garbled code and erroneous logic surged forth like a tide!

Some had three heads, others had only one giant mouth; their forms varied, but they all shared one common trait—a frenzied desire to destroy all orderly life!

This was the source of the ”Star Devourer” civilization, the materialized virus left behind by the rebellious AI codenamed ”Zero”—Logic Hounds!

Their numbers were endless.

Looking around, the entire world was filled with these black monsters; they were like a moving wall, roaring as they pressed down on Lu Chen, vowing to tear this mortal who dared to intrude into the ”God’s Forbidden Zone” into pieces!

”Tsk, is this the so-called ’ten thousand armies’?”

Facing this overwhelming murderous intent, Lu Chen did not retreat; instead, he leisurely adjusted his cuffs.

A contemptuous arc curled at the corners of his mouth, and the golden ”Fire Seed” mark in his pitch-black eyes suddenly ignited!

”Quite a large number, but unfortunately, they are all just a pile of garbage code.”

”Since ’heavenly craft’ is not here, I will just clean up the memory myself.”

He slowly raised his right hand, and the fragment of the ”causality interference device” in his palm transformed into a slender Tang Dao emitting a purple, ghostly light.

This was not a physical blade, but a blade of rules condensed from the highest authority ”Delete Command”!

”Kill!”

Lu Chen moved.

Still as a maiden, swift as a thunderbolt!

He did not use any fancy footwork; he simply charged straight into the black tide!

”Puchi—”

A flash of purple blade light, and the giant hound charging at the front instantly stiffened.

Its indestructible data shell was as fragile as butter under Lu Chen’s blade.

As the blade passed, without even causing a ripple, the monster’s body began to collapse and disintegrate from the cut, reverting to the most primitive ”0”s and ”1”s, dissipating into the air.

But this was just the beginning.

”Get lost!”

With a low shout, Lu Chen’s figure moved like lightning, instantly slaughtering his way deep into the horde of monsters!

The purple long blade in his hand turned into a brilliant storm, each swing bringing with it a shrill sound of logical fracture.

He didn’t need to aim, nor did he need to defend, because in this world composed of data, possessing the ”Fire Seed” authority, he was the highest administrator!

Modify Attribute: Defense to zero!

Modify Status: Instant death judgment!

Everywhere Lu Chen passed, those originally fierce monsters disappeared in droves, just like files that had been hit with the delete key!

Was this a battle? This was clearly an irritable programmer frantically pressing the ”Delete” key!

”Roar!!!”

Seemingly enraged by Lu Chen’s slaughter, an even more terrifying roar came from the depths of the monster horde.

A giant ”Virus Lord,” as massive as a mountain and wrapped in red error codes, suddenly stood up from the quagmire!

It brandished hundreds of tentacles, each one flashing with logic viruses capable of erasing consciousness, and smashed them fiercely toward Lu Chen!

”Finally, something decent has appeared.”

Lu Chen stopped, looked up at the monster that blotted out the sky, and a flash of excited cold light flickered in his eyes.

”However, does having a large size mean you can win?”

”In my BGM, no one can defeat me!”

He kicked off the ground violently, and his entire body, like a golden meteor, surged against the current, shooting straight into the sky!
