Chapter 351: The End of the Main Story, Face to Face with the Mastermind
I retracted my previous statement! This is not a bonus level!
Cheng Tian, who discovered that the entire base was breaking free from its restraints and slowly rising into the air, had already realized that this side quest was not a simple reward level like eating buns and smashing cars, but a serious and difficult reward level!
The core difficulty lies in how to ensure the survival of this group of Leia people!
"This base is a large spaceship! And it's probably a space shuttle model!"
Cheng Tian immediately shared what he saw and the judgment he made.
"Everyone! Get back inside! We can't stay here!"
Azriel reacted quickly and issued an order immediately.
The Leia people who had previously fled out of the gate blasted open by the radar due to panic and distrust, had already fallen to the ground, looking at the gradually rising ground with horror on their faces.
Although the entire base spacecraft has not yet been raised to the point where it cannot be jumped, the sand and rocks with their edges turned up and still rolling are enough to easily crush the fragile human body.
At this time, Cheng Tian and his team's main mission has entered the final stage.
[Main quest clues changed, entering the final stage - "Peace Treaty Breaker"]
[Main quest, team quest. As the source of all disputes between the two countries (planet), the "mastermind" hidden behind everyone has activated the core base's large space shuttle function, attempting to escape from Leia to Earth.
What you have to do is to destroy the main brain before the entire spacecraft completely breaks free from the gravity of Leia and prevent the spacecraft from successfully breaking free from the gravity.
Basic rewards: 15,000 Chosen Coins, 5 free attribute points, and 2 free skill points. (Since the reward is still distributed by Azrael, the basic rewards remain unchanged.)
[Additional Note: The Mastermind is indeed the one who manipulated Azrael and the entire resistance, and was the one behind the "Laya Planet's first move to break the peace treaty" operation. However, this raises a question that is easily overlooked: how exactly did this "Mastermind" come to be...]
The machines of the Earth Federation and the Principality of Leia all have space combat capabilities and can fight even in real space.
But the problem is that these Leia people who had just been released from their cages couldn't do it.
From the fact that the Leia people can interbreed with the Earthlings, we can tell that the origins of both sides should be similar, and their life characteristics are not much different.
Lack of oxygen, low temperature, vacuum, as the base takes off, these various negative environmental conditions that will inevitably arise will kill these Leia people mercilessly!
Since the gate was blasted open by radar, it naturally lost its sealing effect. What's even more terrible is that Azriel has now lost the right to move freely in the base spacecraft. All doors leading to the interior are blocked, or in other words, they are all under the control of the main brain itself, and can be opened or closed at will.
Based on this situation, even if all the filler baby materials were to hide deeper into the cabin, it would be of no avail, as the main brain had countless ways to kill them.
After thinking it over, there is only one way left.
That is a direct violent invasion, breaking into the deepest part before the base spacecraft completely takes off, killing the main brain, and taking over the entire spacecraft!
Azriel, who was the first to figure this out, kicked open the closed door leading to the inside with a knife, and placed a small number of guards here to integrate the hostages to prevent them from seeking death. Then he led the others to rush in.
Cheng Tian and his group immediately followed, but at this time Cheng's mind was still thinking about the content of the additional prompts. At the same time, the relevant memories of the previous visit to the arcade also emerged from the game hall.
In the normal attack route, the four main characters of the Blood Armor Team are of course facing the main brain, and the spaceship has already flown into space.
Of course, evil cannot defeat justice. To be more precise, it cannot defeat the hundreds of coins in the small plastic basket next to Cheng Tian.
It will be killed by a pile of heads!
But when the mastermind was defeated and the game was finally settled after a long period of time, the mastermind left behind these words before dying.
"Why? Are humans supposed to be better than us?
Am I inferior to you humans?
"...Very good! But you must remember! It is you humans who created a monster like me!"
After saying that, I completely exploded.
At that time, Cheng Tian was playing the original Japanese version, and he even took his hands off his waist and put them into his mouth to shovel takeout fried rice, so he remembers this plot quite clearly.
It just so happened that Cheng Tian had just experienced the "Ys Origin" copy not long ago, and was very familiar with things like human evil and the root of demons. For a moment, his mind was a little distracted, and he wondered if there was some strange power system in this world that controlled everything.
However, Cheng Tian soon realized that in a pure science fiction world setting without the intrusion of the mecha combat system, there should be no such magical setting as human evil.
After re-examining the main brain and confirming that it was an individual that existed like a "brain in a vat", Cheng Tian was actually more inclined to believe that the main brain might be a genius scientist similar to "Dr. Gallo" in "Dragon Ball" who could make drastic changes to his body, but at the same time despised the existence of Earthlings and Leia people.
This so-called last words felt more like a crazy and stubborn dying boast after being shattered in front of his face by the very people he despised the most, with his strong arrogance that placed him above all mankind.
Thinking of this, Cheng Tian couldn't help but slap himself. He stopped thinking about it and concentrated on snatching the enemy's mecha heads.
How should I put it? Sometimes, some plots and dialogues that seem to have profound meanings actually have no profound meanings. Just like there are two jujube trees planted in front of the door. That may just be a simple description of the author seeing the jujube trees when he looked out the window. It has nothing to do with the monotonous, lonely and sad atmosphere. All the reading comprehension is just added drama by the test maker.
The mastermind's last words might have really just been thought up by a programmer on the spur of the moment and casually inserted into the game.
On the contrary, when constructing the copy of the Chosen Space, in order to make everything presented in the game have a reasonable plot and smooth logic, a lot of details must be added.
Let me see what reasonable setting this mastermind's dying words will be transformed into!
Pulling out the laser sword that had stabbed into the cockpit of the enemy's reptile mecha, Cheng Tian kicked it to the ground and continued moving forward.
Perhaps they knew that blocking the gate was meaningless for the rebels who were determined to cause destruction, so when the progress was one-third, all the internal doors were opened wide, allowing the rebels to advance deeper.
In the vast, empty room at the end, a massive object with three glass covers on top appeared before everyone. Inside, three brains appeared. However, the brain on the left was different from the other two. It was as if a firecracker had been inserted into it and exploded from the inside.
This is the main brain, and the brain that was destroyed by Cheng Tian in the computing power confrontation
