Chapter 179 Now, Who Is God?

On the distant surface of the White Star, in a snow-white mechanical city floating above the land.

Saruman was clad in a white, form-fitting electronic suit, his skin inlaid with countless tiny chips, now glowing with white glyphs.

He stood in a temple-like hall at the city's highest point, his eyes pure white, gazing at the Earth and Moon, which dominated most of the sky above.

"This is the price of challenging a god."

With a single gesture, countless invisible torrents of programs, like annihilating winds, shot out along countless network cables and radio waves, surging from countless supercomputers and electronic devices on the surfaces of the two planets toward Suiyang on the Earth and Moon.

The entire city beneath Saruman began to glow with large swathes of glyphs.

The white glyphs were like patterns engraved on the city's buildings, streets, surfaces, and everything else.

They frantically provided Saruman with maximum computing power and protection.

"Since you've chosen not to retreat at the last step, then I shall grant you brain death."

In the invisible information space, countless white meteors erupted from the surface of the White Star.

They shot out, trailing long cometary tails, each with independent, ultra-strong penetration and self-replication capabilities. Once infiltrated by even one, it would all be over.

Countless electronic viruses, each capable of overwhelming an ordinary top-tier network security expert, each representing a different direction of intrusion.

At this moment, countless individuals converged, rushing toward Suiyang.

If Rainbow Candy did not break free from brainwave control, the result would undoubtedly be complete brain death.

But just as the countless white meteors approached the Earth and Moon.

A point of purple light suddenly shone from the direction of Suiyang.

Rainbow Candy floated in the information space, a purple hydrangea in her hand releasing a soft, non-glaring bright purple light.

"If you are a god."

"Then what am I now?"

She silently raised her head and gently tossed the purple hydrangea forward.

As soon as the small purple flower left her hand, it transformed into a beam of purple light, bursting forth and flying towards the White Star.

The purple light elongated, condensing into a fine needle, instantly crossing the distance between the two stars, breaking through the large network defense layer on the surface of the White Star.

Penetrating the information interference system above the city.

In a fraction of a millionth of a second, it rushed towards the stunned Saruman.

Nothing could stop this purple light.

It was like the most brilliant pure needle, piercing through everything in its path.

*Pfft!*

The large firewall rings around Saruman were instantly penetrated, shattered, and exploded.

He raised his head in astonishment, his body arching back slightly as if struck by a tremendous impact.

"What is this!!??"

*Ch ch ch ch ch!!!*

In an instant, his body exploded, with large swathes of purple needles erupting from within.

Countless purple light needles rapidly dyed the surroundings purple, with him as the core.

This vast mechanical city, comparable in size to Suiyang, was instantly dyed purple.

The purple light did not stop there, but quickly spread and infected in all directions.

The light needles crossed vast expanses of land, wide rivers, and oceans at the speed of light.

Penetrating cities, penetrating the equipment and mobile phones of countless White Star people.

Two seconds later.

The countless information electromagnetic waves surrounding the entire White Star were dyed with a unique fluctuation.

Rainbow Candy looked up at the White Star; in her eyes, and in the eyes of all Double Star hackers at this moment.

The originally white planet had been completely contaminated by endless purple.

Countless purple lights gathered on the surface of the White Star, forming countless petals.

The petals combined into larger flowers, floral bodies.

Until finally, they completely formed a massive purple hydrangea!

At this moment, the white light viruses that had flown towards Rainbow Candy were also dyed purple, automatically decomposing halfway, turning into gentle breezes and fine rain, and disappearing without a trace.

The massive purple hydrangea slowly bloomed at this moment.

"To completely abandon the body and enter cyberspace. How foolish." Rainbow Candy condensed another new purple hydrangea in her hand, bringing it to her nose and sniffing it gently.

"Now, who is God?"

She asked softly.

Her voice traveled through the waves, instantly spreading throughout the networks of both planets.

The world fell silent.

All onlookers stared blankly at the scene before them.

All shopping malls on the White Star, all electronic screens, light curtains, everyone's mobile phones, personal smart devices.

At this moment, they all automatically turned on their speakers, and countless electronically synthesized female voices rang out simultaneously.

"Now... who is God!?"

Billions of White Star people were bewildered, thinking their devices were broken, but soon, the authorities forcibly intervened, cutting off all information channels to the White Star, so that people knew the truth.

All automatic flying cars, airships, whether private or public, all automated places, echoed with Rainbow Candy's words.

Even if the White Star's strongest AI cut off Rainbow Candy's remote control, the self-replicating and hidden purple hydrangea virus was not so easy to eliminate.

Large numbers of networked automatic production factories for fighter planes and cyborgs exploded.

Various military bases began to experience system failures, with weapons firing wildly.

On the surface of the White Star, even in space, countless tiny sparks of light could be seen exploding frequently on the planet's surface.

The rapid invasion and spread of the purple hydrangea paralyzed many factories and transportation organizations on the White Star in a very short time.

Many New White Star people who had integrated their bodies and chips were devoured by the purple hydrangea in the blink of an eye, turning into criminals who only knew how to destroy, wantonly attacking everyone around them.

In dozens of cities on the White Star, more than half of them were plunged into riots.

And Saruman, the mainstay of the White Star, had long since disappeared without a trace.

Just as Rainbow Candy had said before.

The outcome had been decided.

Yi Nation Imperial Palace.

Emperor Yi had just finished giving orders. After whispering with Dong Jun about the details of the arrangements, he was about to return to his original position.

*Beep beep beep*

Suddenly, a rapidly increasing sound came from the light screen.

The many guests who had been chatting idly suddenly erupted in a collective gasp.

Everyone's gaze focused on the light screen live-streaming the battle between Saruman and Rainbow Candy.

Everyone looked shocked, unconsciously stopping all their actions.

"Hmm?" Emperor Yi and Empress Yi noticed the anomaly and turned their gazes.

They found that the light screen, which had just been full of red dots, was now being rapidly counterattacked.

*Beep*

Large patches of blue light dots representing Rainbow Candy rapidly covered Saruman's red.

Not only that, but blue flashed onto the White Star and, at a breathtaking speed, completely dyed the White Star blue.

"Game over." An electronically synthesized female voice suddenly came from the light screen. "Thank you, Your Majesty, and everyone else, for your assistance."

*Swish!*

The blue on the light screen instantly changed to purple.

All the purple light dots converged into a beautiful purple hydrangea flower, presented before everyone.

The scene was silent.

Emperor Yi was stunned; this was the Imperial Palace.

After a full few seconds.

*Clap clap clap.*

Suddenly, Empress Yi beside him smiled and began to applaud.

The crisp applause was like a signal, instantly infecting all the high-ranking officials present.

*Whoosh.*

Everyone present, including all the Jiu Yi, and even Dong Jun himself, also clapped lightly.

Among the Jiu Yi, Black Phoenix Zhao Chengxi looked complex, holding the wine in his hand and remaining silent.

"What are you looking at? Applaud." Dong Jun's voice floated from behind him.

Zhao Chengxi trembled and turned his head to see the old man's eyes glaring at him like copper bells, giving the impression that he would strangle him if he didn't applaud.

"This is a national feud! Put down any previous grievances in the face of such a major event!" Dong Jun warned.

"Elder Mu..." Zhao Chengxi wanted to say something, but he nodded and put down his wine glass, clapping lightly.

The White Star and the Earth and Moon had been fighting for so many years, and the casualties and losses on both sides were incalculable. It could be said that the vast majority of families in Yi Nation had deep-seated hatred towards them.

Therefore, as long as they could overwhelm the other side.

That was national honor!

"Look, didn't White Emperor boast that elites lead the world and that commoners don't count? Didn't they boast that their education and training system is much stronger than ours? They even boasted about abandoning flesh and blood, completely integrating AI to become new humans, and completing the leap in life. What about now? Still leaping?"

Dong Jun sneered. He had never liked to talk, because in his eyes, most people were trash, pawns who could not decide their own destiny.

But coldness and detachment did not mean that he didn't like to mock.

Especially when mocking his old rival, White Emperor.

"Her brain has been blasted out, and she's still leaping!" He pinched his beard hard, his face still calm, but from his slightly red earlobes and his rare outburst of so many words, it could be seen that he was very excited, very happy.

Empress Yi covered her mouth and smiled gently, and Emperor Yi helplessly shielded his wife with his body, lest she be discovered and get beaten up later.

After all, Empress Yi, in addition to her identity as empress, was also Dong Jun's student back then.

Empress Yi dared to laugh, but others didn't dare, and could only lower their heads.

"Without flesh and blood, people's consciousness exists in the network, and the result is like this: they gained freedom, but they also easily lost everything."

Ding Meng, who had recovered somewhat, sighed softly.

"Without Saruman to hold it down, the White Star will probably fall into great chaos in a short time. Now is a good opportunity for us to launch a large-scale attack."

"The Yan family has made a great contribution this time! As expected of a great family known for its network security! They can even cultivate such a genius."

"The specific arrangements will depend on the actual situation of the White Star; we can't be too hasty."

"We can't get detailed data; we still need to ask Rainbow Candy."

"Lord Yan Ruo, please personally inquire about this. What do you think?" Emperor Yi also looked at Jiu Yi Yan Ruo along with the others.

Silver Sparrow Yan Ruo was still calm, standing motionless in the corner with a wine glass in his hand.

Hearing the question, he looked embarrassed.

"Rainbow Candy is the youngest direct descendant of my clan... Since she entered the Dead Angle, the family hasn't had much contact with her..."

"You can ask her if she needs any assistants. After all, the identity of a Dead Angle person..." Emperor Yi sighed, with a hint of regret.

"Alright." Yan Ruo nodded seriously.

Suiyang.

In the dense tree sea near the Yunshan Mountains.

Li Cheng Yi and Xindela were also applauding.

"That's great," he said sincerely.

"See?" Xindela said with a smile, "Even if you're not around, they can now independently carry the entire Ming Yuan."

"This is the power you gave them."

"No," Li Cheng Yi shook his head, "I just gave them a starting point."

"But that starting point is the most important thing of all."

Rainbow Candy floated out of the rear patio, landed gently, and extinguished the personal propulsion backpack on her back.

"Brother Yi, I have good news for you. I took advantage of the very short time I invaded the White Star to find some information about the Dead Angle, about Li En and Yuan Ying!" she said with a serious expression.

"It includes some of the initial records of Li En and the others trying to escape the Dead Angle!"
