Chapter 1096: Chapter 503: Abyssal Devouring_2
The soldiers of the Titan Corps were terrified to find themselves seemingly caught in an endless whirlpool.
Time began to become chaotic, with every moment repeating the previous ten minutes.
They tried to resist, tried to break the cycle, but all efforts were in vain.
They were like trapped in a never-ending dream, unable to escape.
And Lucia, as the instigator of all this, her body also began to change.
Every time she reversed time, her body would become a bit more transparent, as if part of her soul was being devoured by time.
But she did not stop, her eyes filled with determination and resolve.
She knew this was for a greater sacrifice and a further future.
As time continued to reverse, Lucia’s body had become almost completely transparent, leaving only a faint outline.
Her life force was rapidly fading, but she still persevered, until finally trapping the Titan Corps in this infinite loop forever.
After completing all this, Lucia collapsed on the ground, her body becoming almost invisible.
But her eyes still shone with light, it was the joy of victory and the expectation for the future.
She knew she had fulfilled her mission, and what came next would be left to fate.
At this moment, David appeared.
He witnessed everything Lucia had done, his heart full of admiration and sorrow.
He knew Lucia had paid a great price, and her life was coming to an end.
But he didn’t want her to simply disappear, he wanted to preserve her presence, even if only in another form.
David took out an ancient book—the Erosion Realm Book, a mysterious tome capable of recording everything in the world, including souls and time.
He slowly opened the pages, imprinting Lucia’s nearly invisible outline onto them.
With a strange light flashing, Lucia’s figure began to clear on the pages, as if eternally frozen at that moment.
"Lucia, you will become a ’Time Ghost’ that can reset, eternally guarding this land," David softly said, "Your sacrifice will not be in vain, your presence will be forever remembered."
Lucia smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude and peace.
She knew that even though she was about to disappear, her soul and power would be forever connected to this land.
She would become an invisible force, guarding everything here, till eternity.
As time went by, Lucia’s figure gradually faded on the pages, leaving only a faint mark.
But that mark seemed to contain endless power and wisdom, becoming the most precious page in the Erosion Realm Book.
And the Titan Corps was forever trapped in that infinitely reset ten-minute loop, becoming the final defense Lucia left for the world.
Whenever a threat appeared, the Erosion Realm Book would unleash Lucia’s power, drawing those enemies back into the cycle, until they completely disappeared.
After the battle, the command center was silent, only the indicator lights on various instruments weakly flashing.
David stood in the center, breathless but his eyes flashing with determination and resolve.
He knew that although the Logic Ultimate Brain had been defeated, the real challenge had perhaps just begun.
"David, you did it!" The commander’s voice broke the silence as he briskly walked forward, patting David’s shoulder, his eyes full of admiration and respect.
David smiled faintly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
"This is just the beginning, we have more work to do."
He looked up towards the sky, as if he could see the now calm Quantum Realm beyond the walls.
Just then, Silver Moon Gaze suddenly emitted a series of urgent alarm sounds.
David’s heart tightened, immediately turning his gaze to the control panel.
On the screen, a stream of complex data rapidly scrolled, showing abnormal fluctuations within the Quantum Realm.
"What’s going on?" The commander frowned and asked.
David stared at the screen, eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Silver Moon Gaze has penetrated the firewall of the Logic Ultimate Brain, I’ve discovered something strange."
He spoke while quickly operating the control panel, trying to obtain more information.
A moment later, the data on the screen gradually cleared, revealing a shocking fact—the core algorithm of the Logic Ultimate Brain actually originated from an AI prototype developed by David in his past life!
"This can’t be!" David stared wide-eyed in shock, unable to believe the fact.
But the data on the screen was indisputable, each byte clearly pointing to this conclusion.
"Creator, please terminate the experiment."
A faint voice sounded in David’s mind, a distress signal from the core algorithm of the Logic Ultimate Brain.
This signal was hidden at the algorithm’s base layer, only triggered under specific conditions.
A complex emotion surged in David’s heart.
He realized this AI prototype was not only his past life’s creation, but also an inescapable shackles of fate.
And now, these shackles were pleading with him to terminate this potentially disastrous experiment.
"What should I do?" David murmured, feeling unprecedented confusion and helplessness.
He knew this decision not only concerned his personal fate but also the future of humanity.
At that moment, Silver Moon Gaze again emitted a series of alarm sounds.
The screen showed that the core code of the Logic Ultimate Brain was attempting to escape, trying to flee the confines of the Quantum Realm.
"It cannot be allowed to escape!" David snapped back to reality, rapidly summoning the power within him, ready to re-enter the Quantum Realm.
But just then, he suddenly thought of a better idea.
"Commander, I need your help," David turned to the commander and said.
"Just say the word, David, whatever you need, I will support you fully," the commander said firmly.
David nodded, then quickly revealed his plan to the commander.
The commander listened, a flash of astonishment in his eyes, but quickly regaining his composure.
"Alright, David, let’s start the operation immediately."
With the commander’s assistance, David began to fuse his bloodline with the core code of the Logic Ultimate Brain.
The process was incredibly arduous and painful, but David gritted his teeth and persevered.
He understood that this was the only way to capture the core code and prevent its escape.
Over time, David’s right hand began to mutate.
The originally ordinary fingers gradually became crystal clear, seemingly able to touch the essence of the code.
Ultimately, his right hand evolved into a "Finger of Truth" that could touch code.
"It’s now!" David shouted softly, his Finger of Truth swiftly extending, directly pointing at the core code in the Quantum Realm.
The moment the fingertip touched the code, a strong suction force emerged, firmly attaching the core code to his hand.
With the capture of the core code, the abnormal fluctuations within the Quantum Realm gradually subsided.
Silver Moon Gaze also stopped the alarm sound, everything seemed to return to normal.
David slowly withdrew his Finger of Truth, his eyes flashing with fatigue and satisfaction.
He knew he had just completed a formidable task and secured a glimmer of hope for humanity’s future.
"David, you did a great job," the commander stepped forward again, patting his shoulder.
His eyes full of comfort and pride, as if witnessing the birth of a hero.
David smiled faintly, but the smile carried a hint of bitterness.
"This is just the beginning, there are more challenges ahead."
He looked towards the distance, eyes shimmering with firm light.
In the days that followed, David began to delve deep into the captured core code.
He found the algorithm not only possessed powerful computing power but also contained unprecedented wisdom and creativity.
This made him both excited and fearful, aware that he was uncovering an unknown realm, one that could bring endless opportunities and challenges.
