Chapter 414: Physical Rules Have Been Altered? Watch Me Counter You with Concept Replication!

Qin Hao's mouth curled into an arc, that was the aura of the strong, and also a man's promise.

He loosened his embrace, turned, and strode toward the command platform.

His back was like a mountain, his aura like a rainbow.

This time, he was no longer fighting for survival.

He fought for that promise, for that word 'good'.

Overlord, your time of death has come!

Just as Qin Hao and Qian Yin established their relationship, and the human anchor point was reinforced, the situation on the front lines changed again.

The Overlord's side also seemed to notice, whether it was a meme virus on the physical level or a direct mental strike,

none could break through the defense line guarded by Qin Hao's will.

Unable to break through by force, it began to change tactics.

As a super meme virus capable of infecting local rules, its strength has never been head-on confrontation.

but rather launching a dimensional strike from a higher dimension.

Laniakea Joint Defense Line, rear of the second echelon.

A massive starport fortress built by the Geth Civilization was orderly supplying energy and materials to the frontline fleets.

Suddenly, a warehouse area inside the fortress twisted in space without any warning.

A fist-sized strange polyhedron emitting an ominous gray light appeared out of nowhere in the warehouse.

It hovered silently in midair, with no energy reaction and no mass.

The fortress's sensors had no reaction to its appearance.

A few seconds later.

This thing called a Logic Bomb detonated.

There was no earth-shattering explosion or shockwave.

At the moment of detonation, an intangible wave spread rapidly from the polyhedron as its center.

The area swept by the wave had its fundamental physical rules forcibly altered.

In the warehouse, a row of equipment charging energy blocks, which originally emitted high heat,

but when the wave swept over, the flames and arcs on the charging equipment went out, replaced by a thick layer of frost.

The concept of 'burning' was temporarily defined here as 'freezing'.

A Geth worker transporting materials accidentally bumped into the metal wall beside him.

By all logic, he should have been left with a bloody head.

But a strange scene occurred.

That wall made of super-strong alloy, when he touched it,

it undulated like liquid, swallowing him whole.

The concept of hardness was altered to fluid.

"Save... save me..."

The worker struggled in the liquid metal wall, soon suffocating to death.

And this was only the beginning.

Throughout the fortress interior, gravity was defined as repulsion,

everyone and everything was flung toward the ceiling.

Conduction was defined as insulation, and the fortress's power system gradually shut down.

Stable structures were defined as random collapse, and load-bearing pillars turned to dust for no reason.

In just a minute, this massive fortress, built over thousands of years by the Geth Civilization and capable of withstanding a salvo from a sixth‑level civilization fleet,

collapsed and disintegrated silently from within amidst the eerie chaos,

ultimately becoming a heap of debris drifting in space.

And such Logic Bombs were not just one.

The Overlord, using its higher‑dimensional perspective, simultaneously opened hundreds of millions of microscopic wormholes behind the entire joint defense line.

It precisely delivered hundreds of billions of Logic Bombs to the Union Army's various logistics bases, energy transfer stations,

and the interiors of fleet assembly points.

For a moment, the rear of the Union Army fell into chaos.

Fortresses collapsed one after another for no apparent reason.

Warships undergoing replenishment suddenly suffered internal explosions.

Even some fleets on standby, because the local 'space' rule was altered to 'solid',

causing the warships to be crushed alive by the solidified space.

The defense zone of the Council Alliance collapsed completely in an instant.

While the front line still barely held on by Qin Hao's will, the rear had already caught fire, the entire defense line was cut in half, plunging into an unprecedented crisis.

"Report to Chief Commander! The B-37, C-89, F-11 sectors in the rear... a total of seven hundred thirty-two logistics bases have lost contact!"

"Report! Power supply to the left wing fleet of the Second Echelon has been cut off; request support!"

"Report! Logic Bomb! It's a Logic Bomb! Our physical rules have been altered! Ah——!"

Inside the bridge of the Pioneer, distress signals and chaotic battle reports from the Union Army rose and fell.

On the faces of the Sky Survey Council representatives, despair once again descended.

The Overlord's attack methods kept emerging, each beyond their comprehension, leaving them feeling utterly helpless.

Yet Qin Hao remained calm in the face of danger.

He watched the light points on the star map that represented the rear bases, rapidly winking out, a flash of coldness crossing his eyes.

"Playing with rules in front of me?"

"Showing off one's clumsy skill before an expert."

He immediately issued an order to the system.

"System, lock onto the rule fluctuation frequencies of all 'logic bombs'."

【Command confirmed……scanning……locked onto 12,471 abnormal rule sources.】

"Based on the loophole in the Overlord's core logic that Qian Yin just cracked, generate an anti-logic patch for each logic bomb."

"Activate, concept replication function!"

【Command confirmed……parsing 'logic bomb' rules……generating 'anti-logic patches'……】

【Patch generation complete……starting mass replication……】

In the next moment, in Qin Hao's personal space,

Tens of thousands of multifaceted polyhedra, flashing with seven-colored light, similar in form to the 'logic bombs' but with utterly opposite energy fluctuations, appeared out of thin air.

"Deploy."

At Qin Hao's command, countless micro-dimensional channels opened on the hull of the Pioneer.

Those tens of thousands of 'anti-logic patches' were precisely deployed to every area being eroded by the 'logic bombs'.

In a certain star sector ravaged by the 'logic bombs',

here the speed of light was defined as one meter per second, and all energy weapons became light beams crawling at a tortoise's pace.

At that very moment, an 'anti-logic patch' appeared out of thin air and detonated.

An utterly opposite rule fluctuation spread out.

"I define: all rules in this area, return to normal."

That eerie force tampering with physical constants was neutralized and canceled out.

The energy beams that had been crawling along resumed their normal speed and struck the distant target.

Elsewhere, a starport about to collapse because 'sturdy' had been redefined as 'fragile',

under the effect of the anti-logic patch, its structural strength was restored, stabilizing the keel that was about to collapse.

Qin Hao used the system's 'concept replication' function to generate a corresponding counter-patch for each rule change made by the Overlord.

Like antivirus software, it cleared the Overlord's deployed logic viruses one by one.

In this invisible yet perilous battle of rule offense and defense,

Qin Hao, relying on the system's cheat-like ability, forcibly pulled the joint defense line that had been pushed to the brink of a cliff back.

The battle situation barely held, not collapsing.

But Qin Hao's complexion was not good.

Because he knew this reactive way of meeting moves and countering them was too passive.

Moreover,

Each replication of an anti-logic patch consumed vast amounts of his already meager energy reserves.

Going on like this, he would eventually be drained to death.

He must find a way to take the initiative!
