Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 966 - 459 Shen Ye’s Choice!_3

Shen Ye spoke gravely: "I want to ask, what is the purpose of everything I’m doing?"

Two more lines of faintly glowing words appeared:

"The current goal is to deploy real-time strategy against the ’Chaos Ship,’ each construction and advancement is for the purpose of defeating it!"

"—This is the real-time strategic goal you’ve set."

When these two lines appeared in mid-air, Shen Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right.

Though what was being built was a robot factory, it actually concealed an extremely important matter.

Every construction and action had one principle.

—To defeat the hostile target set by oneself!

Even if other structures appeared later on, these buildings would also revolve around this principle!

Furthermore—

The flow of time inside and outside the Real Estate Gate was a ratio of three months to one day.

Shen Ye watched the robot silently, observing it as it mined for a while, but felt that it was quite boring to keep watching like this.

He simply summoned Norton.

"Need combat?"

Norton looked outside, observing those monsters whose aura was beyond imagination, his face showing a grave expression.

"No need for combat, we need logistics," Shen Ye said.

"What do you mean?"

"See those two people over there? They’re incredibly strong in battle, but neither are healing professions—"

"Get a group of priests together, bestow various statuses on them, heal any injuries immediately."

"No problem." Norton said cheerfully.

He glanced at the room’s dilapidated furniture and the dust all over the floor, frowning:

"Can’t you manage your life a bit more finely and smoothly?"

"Where’s the time for that." Shen Ye rolled his eyes.

"Leave it to me." Norton said.

A quarter of an hour later.

The entire cabin was transformed anew.

Paintings of autumnal pastoral landscapes hung on the walls.

Magical candles were placed in every corner, illuminating the whole room brightly.

The windows shone with cleanliness.

The musicians of the royal band played their violins, the melodies flowing melodiously.

But Shen Ye was not in the room.

Outside the cabin, several lounge chairs were arranged.

Shen Ye, wearing sunglasses, leaned back on a lounge chair, holding a coconut and slowly sipping through a straw.

Norton sat on another lounge chair, also holding a coconut, and spoke:

"I’m getting married next month."

"The bride is Court Grand Mage Yodria?"

"Yes."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Make sure to come when the time comes."

"It depends on the situation... as long as I can live until then."

"You’re joking, right? Take a look at these two, they’re ridiculously strong, I can’t imagine anyone who could hurt you," Norton said.

Shen Ye glanced toward the faraway ridge.

A hundred and eighty priests formed a healing team, standing neatly a hundred meters away from the Valkyrie and the End Master.

Their hands emitted the holy light of healing, ready to be unleashed at any moment to heal any injuries for the two.

Three hundred meters behind them.

Court chefs set up several tables, placing steaming meat soup on them.

The tables were already adorned with three-tiered cream cakes, pies, meat with mashed potatoes, smoked fish, hams, and other foods.

In the ice buckets next to the tables, there were bottles of champagne, fruit wine, and soft drinks.

A few chefs set up barbeque grills, sizzling meats and fruits, producing a "sizzling" sound.

This was to facilitate the Valkyrie and End Master to eat at any time, replenishing their physical strength.

—The Valkyrie did come over to eat something during the break from the battle.

As she ate, holy light flooded her body—

It felt like her strength was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed she had already returned to peak condition!

The End Master, however, didn’t eat, but took a bottle of wine, drinking it in one go.

Taking advantage of this moment.

Shen Ye briefly recapped the situation.

Only then did Norton start to become nervous, looking around and saying:

"I thought it was just an autumn hunt, but you’re telling me this is a matter of life and death?"

"Indeed, it’s a matter of life and death—so we need to adjust timely to maintain a good state," Shen Ye said.

He set down the coconut and grabbed a slice of pizza, eating it heartily.

—He was a bit hungry himself.

At that moment, a row of faintly glowing words silently appeared in the void:

"Your mining robot count has reached 5, a new building is about to be unlocked."

"Congratulations."

"You’ve unlocked a new building:

"Truth Cannon."

"Requires 500 resource points."

"Would you like to build it?"

Is there even a need to ask?

The resources had just reached 500 points exactly.

"Build it!" Shen Ye ordered.

New faintly glowing words appeared:

"Truth Cannon has been constructed."

"Truth Creation, upgradeable."

"Description: Based on the resources and the level of supporting buildings, fire a long-range cannon with corresponding power to strike the enemy."

"——Warfare is but a trajectory."

Next to the robot factory, a "chimney"-shaped building shot up from the ground.

That long chimney flue was actually the cannon barrel.

As for its power—

"300 resource points can be used to fire a Truth First Rank Cannon."

"500 resource points, and the shell achieves Second Order of Truth."

"800 resource points, and the bombardment strength ascends to Third-tier Truth."

"Activating the bombardment at Third-tier Truth ten times will unlock the next Truth building."

Shen Ye glanced at the mines.

—Substitutes, copper men, five mining robots.

Mining quite fast indeed.

The accelerated flow of time on both sides also enhanced the efficiency of resource collection.

Then fire the Third-tier Truth Cannon!

Shen Ye waited for a few breaths, and the mine had accumulated 800 resource points.

Wait a minute!

How does this cannon aim?

Alongside his question, two lines of faintly glowing text emerged:

"With your line of sight as the aiming tool, and your pupils as the activation medium, thus the Truth Cannon is manifested upon you, also known as—"

"Pupil Technique: Truth Destruction!"

Alright then.

If it’s eye-based targeting that’s needed, let’s use the eyes to aim.

Shen Ye put down his pizza, wiped his mouth, stood up, shielded his eyes, and squinted toward the distant horde of monsters.

In an instant.

His eyes turned deep gray, emitting a faint destructive aura.

In the depths of the sky.

A thin streak of luminescence plummeted instantly into the depths of the ridge.

Pupil Technique: Truth Destruction!

Boom——

The ground shook and the mountains tremored.

The violent shockwave swept across the entire world.

"Not good!"

The Valkyrie and the End Master flew back together.

"Quickly dismiss the people you’ve summoned, they can’t withstand it!" the Valkyrie urgently said.

"It’s just a single round of artillery fire—" Shen Ye said.

Still, he immediately dismissed everyone.

For a moment.

Within this layer of the cabin, only the Valkyrie, the End Master, and the three of them remained.

The Valkyrie planted her spear into the ground in front of the hut and quickly recited a spell.

An invisible barrier unfolded from the spear, enveloping all three of them.

Then came the light that destroys everything—

The hut was directly obliterated by the light.

The fierce wind roared ceaselessly.

Everything on the ground was destroyed, like a peeled fruit, becoming exceptionally flat.

Only within the range of the barrier created by the Valkyrie with her spear was it safe.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

It took a full dozen breaths.

The wind ceased.

All that remained in the world was desolate land.

No monsters appeared again.

A dull and emotionless voice then announced:

"Congratulations to the three of you for passing this layer’s trial."

"The confinement of this layer is lifted."

"You may now move freely between the upper and lower layers."

All was calm once more.

The Valkyrie breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head towards Shen Ye, and asked:

"Why did you suddenly unleash such a powerful Pupil Skill attack?"

"It wasn’t that strong, just Third-tier Truth," Shen Ye shrugged and said.

"Damn," the End Master rubbed his forehead, "Master, do you not realize how terrifying it is for weapons and techniques to reach the Truth Stage?"

"...Is it?" Shen Ye was somewhat unsure.

"When you combined your Three Techniques into one, you didn’t reach the Truth Stage. Do you understand now?" the End Master said.

Shen Ye looked towards the faintly glowing text in the void:

"To unlock the next stage’s building, nine more Truth Cannon launches are required. Keep it up!"

Alright then.

Nine more times.

Shen Ye argued his point:

"But I’ve already fought against beings like the White Night Spirit King, holders of Eighth Order Truth..."

The Valkyrie and the End Master both rolled their eyes in unison.

The End Master patiently explained:

"You know that was the White Night Spirit King—these monsters are nowhere near Eighth Order Truth!"

"In fact, had it not been for the sturdiness of this ship, just now that blow would have directly destroyed this world!"

The Valkyrie looked even somewhat fearful, and she pressed for an answer:

"Where did you receive your education? Who did you learn your knowledge from? Why are you unaware of such dangerous matters?"

This made Shen Ye feel even more uncomfortable.

"I’m just...still in the stage of compulsory education."

He said meekly.
