Chapter 568

Jie Ming stood at the edge of the barrier deployed by the camp, his hands waving continuously.

Twisted gray rays of light shot out from his fingertips, precisely sinking into those information-based organisms that had been split and surrounded by high-tier wizards using Information Weaving.

Spell: Painful Garbled Code.

Every time a gray ray of light hit, an information-based organism's outer energy would twitch violently, its core information would fluctuate crazily, and then... collapse. Blue Entropy Brains were precipitated from the dissipated light masses and collected by the wizards prepared on the side.

The wizards almost organized the action from killing to collecting Entropy Brains into an assembly line, with astonishing efficiency.

But Jie Ming soon discovered something wrong.

"These guys... have become difficult to deal with."

He frowned, staring at an information-based organism struggling not far away.

That information-based organism had just been hit by an Information Plague released by a high-tier wizard, but it did not go down like before.

Although it was eventually defeated by subsequent attacks, that kind of resistance ability was completely different from before.

"They have evolved isolation means."

The voice of a Level 7 wizard came from beside him.

That powerhouse, while maintaining Information Weaving, said in a deep voice: "Judging from the analysis, these guys are probably reviewing all foreign information. The effect of the Information Plague spell has clearly declined."

Jie Ming nodded, understanding in his heart.

The adaptability of information-based organisms is too strong.

How long has it been since the last virus outbreak?

They have already evolved targeted defense mechanisms.

Now, if you want to use the same Information Plague to infect them, unless you develop a brand-new variant, it will be difficult to be effective.

"However..."

Jie Ming looked at those information-based organisms being split and surrounded, the corners of his mouth slightly curling.

Although they have firewalls, their reaction speed has clearly slowed down.

Every piece of foreign information needs to be reviewed, which means processing speed drops.

The computing power that could be mobilized instantly now needs to be filtered, analyzed, and then responded to.

Those originally smooth network connections now appear with visible lags.

For high-tier wizards, this bit of lag is enough.

"Continue!"

Jie Ming waved his hands continuously, and another dozen Painful Garbled Codes shot out.

The battle continued.

One information-based organism after another was killed, turning into blue Entropy Brains.

Those areas split and surrounded were getting smaller and smaller, and the number of information-based organisms was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, Jie Ming felt something wrong.

It wasn't that something strange appeared on this battlefield, but in another "battlefield."

He looked up abruptly, looking into the distance.

There, the battle between Ma Ding and the Silent Abyss was still continuing.

But at this moment, the scene in that area had changed completely.

The originally pure white sea of light had disappeared, replaced by a twisted gray-white.

Countless flames were burning in the void, but those flames were not red, but gray.

Gray to white, gray to the point of making one's heart palpitate.

"That is..."

Jie Ming's pupils shrank slightly.

Ma Ding's laughter came from that direction, resounding through the entire plane.

"Hahahaha... Good! Very good!"

His voice carried undisguised satisfaction, "To be able to block so many of my attacks, you are qualified to let me get serious!"

In the distance, that hundred-meter-tall Silent Abyss was now operating at full strength.

Its body was flowing with dazzling white light, and countless information tentacles extended from it, connecting to every surviving node deep in the plane. It was mobilizing the power of the entire plane.

No, more than that.

Jie Ming saw that at the plane barrier of the Information Plane, countless twisted energies were pouring in—that was the power of the endless chaotic void! Those originally disordered, chaotic, and violent void energies were forcibly gathered and integrated by the Silent Abyss, becoming ordered, and then integrated into itself. Because it sensed danger.

Ma Ding raised his right hand, and the gray-white flames in the void gathered toward his palm rapidly.

In his palm, a point of gray light was condensing.

That light was very faint, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

But Jie Ming only looked at it once and felt his spiritual sea trembling.

That is not an ordinary flame, it is something he cannot understand!

"Do you know why they call me 'Heart of Ash'?"

Ma Ding's voice was very calm, as if chatting.

The Silent Abyss did not answer, and it would not answer.

It just frantically condensed power, constructing layers upon layers of defensive barriers in front of itself.

Ma Ding smiled.

"Because I can turn everything into ash."

He pushed his right hand forward.

That point of gray light flew out.

Very slow.

So slow that Jie Ming felt he could clearly see its flight trajectory.

But everything along that trajectory was collapsing.

Space was collapsing, time was chaotic.

Those originally stable spatial structures, the moment the gray light swept past, were like glass being smashed, turning into countless fine fragments. Before those fragments had time to scatter, they were ignited by the gray flames and burned into void.

The time flow rate in that area began to be crazily disordered, sometimes as fast as lightning, sometimes as slow as stillness.

Among the things involved in the time turbulence, even the light was distorted into strange shapes.

The barriers laid by the Silent Abyss collapsed one layer after another.

Information barriers were burned through, energy barriers were ignited.

The Silent Abyss was roaring.

It mobilized all the power it could mobilize, frantically drawing void energy outside the plane, and constructed the last line of defense in front of itself. That was the ultimate barrier condensed from most of its own core information, almost its entire life.

Then, the gray light hit it.

Thus, the huge giant of light began to annihilate silently.

That ultimate barrier, the moment it touched the gray light, began to "disappear."

The entire barrier was erased from the level of existence, as if it had never existed.

The body of the Silent Abyss began to dissipate.

Its hundred-meter-tall body, starting from the contact point, turned into ash bit by bit.

Finally, the gray light penetrated its core.

The speed at which the Silent Abyss dissipated accelerated suddenly.

In just a few seconds, that terrifying existence capable of mobilizing the power of the entire plane disappeared completely into that gray ash.

Nothing was left.

Not even Entropy Brains.

Jie Ming looked at that direction, unable to speak for a long time.

Just like that... died?

That existence capable of mobilizing the power of the entire plane was wiped out by one move?

But the next second, he was stunned.

Because that gray flame, after wiping out the Silent Abyss, did not stop.

It continued to move forward, attacking deep into the Information Plane.

"Is this going to pierce through the plane directly?"

Just as Jie Ming thought this, the situation changed.

That gray flame, the moment it was about to touch the core area of the Information Plane, stopped suddenly.

Then, a wall rose up.

Or rather, it was a... pure "void."

It stood between the gray flame and the core of the Information Plane, pitch black, without any light, without any fluctuation, and even without any sense of presence.

But it existed there, isolating everything.

The gray flame hit that wall and disappeared silently.

Jie Ming's pupils shrank.

What is that?

He turned to look at Ma Ding.

Ma Ding was also looking at that wall, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Interesting..."

He muttered, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.

"To think they could do this much?"
