The Deep Sea Monarch has appeared since ancient times, when the Earth OL was first in open beta.

It has an extremely long lifespan.

But because of this, its fear of "gods" is also deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

In fact, it knows in its heart that this is a game world, and the so-called "gods and hackers" are just ordinary life forms that edit code in front of the computer.

But these are ordinary lifeforms.

They created the world.

Created gods and demons.

History......

Then he picked up the butcher's knife and created Ragnarok.

Countless powerful plug-ins were born in the hands of hackers, and all of them were eliminated by the company.

So repeatedly, through one civilization after another.

The current civilization on Earth is not the first civilization to appear, but it is by no means the last civilization to exist.

The Monarch of the Deep Sea is used to it.

It doesn't want to cut off its own life because of a speculation from the hangers of this era.

It just wants to survive, quietly waiting for Zero to arrive, and then waiting for Zero to leave.

Or even if Zero outlaws the Authority and controls the world.

It won't complain in the slightest.

Because these things have nothing to do with it.

It knows the company's bottom line and knows the rules of the game.

It just needs to be quiet and stay within the rules, and not break the rules.

And then continue to live for a hundred, a thousand years, ten thousand years......

"You're old."

Natsuki was silent for a long time, understanding what the Late Night Monarch meant.

"yes...... I don't know how many years I've lived, and my heart has long been smoothed out. The Deep Sea Monarch said, "And this speculation of yours is not the first time, it was said many years ago, and an invitation was sent to me like you. ”

"But then he died, but I am still alive, and even many people who are not as strong as him are still alive."

"And this—that's the answer history gave me!"

……

Long after Natsuki left the Pacific Ocean, he still had in his mind what the Deep Sea Monarch had said.

This is not the first time that the slogan of eliminating all hangers has been eliminated.

And it's not the first time that the hangers have risen up to resist.

But from a historical point of view.

Even if all the hangers in this era are dead, there will still be hackers implanting new plug-ins after a few years......

Antivirus software can get rid of most of the plug-ins, but it can't solve the problem at the root.

Because once the hacking technology is improved and new plug-ins appear, then the role of antivirus software will be insufficient.

Therefore, game companies still need an organization under their control to govern the hangers of this world.

"It's such a simple truth, the people of the Authority won't understand, but why did they react so much this time?"

"Is it because of the death of the fifth generation?"

"Or is it because of suspicion of the death of the fourth generation?"

"Or is there someone behind the scenes who is manipulating the trend of public opinion and wants to make things bigger?"

After thinking about it, Natsuki didn't think about the truth of the matter.

Helpless.

He had to keep these speculations in his heart first, and then continue to visit the other two god-level alien beasts he knew.

It's a pity -

Whether it's the worm of death in the deep Sahara or the valley of death in Italy.

They all have the same opinion on this matter as the Deep Sea Monarch.

The Sahara Desert is inaccessible to all people, and the Deathworm has established a capital there, with its own territory and army.

However, due to the restrictions of the Authority, the alien beast residents in the national capital cannot leave the territory without authorization, otherwise they can only be eliminated by the Authority in accordance with the law.

Italy's Death Valley, on the other hand, is a strange beast made up of cell-sized insects.

Since ancient times, they have only shot at animals, not humans.

So I don't want to provoke the Sumerian company, I just want to protect myself.

At night.

Natsuki, who had found nothing, returned home from Death Valley, lying on the bed with some disappointment, looking at the ceiling above her head, thinking about the future.

Knock knock!

"Please come in."

"It feels like you're back, so I'll come and have a look...... How's the catch? Is there a god-level beast willing to help you? ”

Zhiyao, who was wearing a white dress, leaned against the door, quietly looking at Natsuki.

I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and the little kid who followed her to ask for snacks has grown so big now.

It's just the melancholy look on his face, and Zhiyao can't help but feel a little blamed in his heart.

I felt like I hadn't been able to protect him.

You know—

He's only seventeen!

It's just a child, and he hasn't experienced anything, so he has to face these things and bear so much pressure.

But she couldn't help it.

She is the seat of the Seventh Bureau, and she has an internal document in her hand, which clearly states that the key object to be eliminated by [Zero] this time-Xia Shu is among them.

Actually, it's normal to think about it.

Natsuki is the only human Digi with god-level powers.

He has too many hidden dangers for the operation of the game, and there are many uncertain factors.

Besides—

He also has the ability to stop from time to time.

Every time this capability is used, it has a huge impact on the company's bottom line.

So for the company, other god-level hangers can live, but Natsuki must die!

If Zhi Yao doesn't raise his arms this time and splits a radical faction in the Authority, then Natsuki's situation will be even more dangerous at that time!

At least for now:

Asia is the territory of the seventh game, and it can blatantly send a strong hanger to Natsuki as a combat force against zero.

And in the future, it will also be the main battlefield in Asia.

Seven rounds could intercept the intervention of conservatives in other rounds, thereby weakening the power of gaming companies in Asia.

As for whether to win or lose in the end, it depends on the final showdown between Natsuki and Zero.

……

"They want to protect themselves." Natsuki spoke.

"Well, I knew that the old immortals thought like this, after all, they have lived a long time, what kind of wind and waves have they never seen?" Zhiyao shrugged her shoulders and tried to say some brisk words, wanting to lighten the dull atmosphere at the moment.

"You don't have to think about it so much, when it really comes to Zero, they won't sit idly by."

"Do you think Zero will really wipe out all the hangers, even your Authority? If the company did this, wouldn't it dig its own grave? Xia Shu looked at Zhi Yao suspiciously, and said what was in his heart.

"In addition to the existence of antivirus software in this world, there must also be an organization that is subordinate to the company, only in this way can they firmly control the world in that world."

"What you said is exactly what conservatives think-" Zhi Yao paused, approached Xia Shu, then sat beside him, and said slowly: "However, the death of the fifth generation has made people panic, and the cause of death of the fourth generation has become confusing again...... In addition, the company's external publicity this time is indeed ambiguous. ”

"So you chose to push me out?"

Natsuki raised his eyebrows, and said with displeasure.

Regardless of whether Zero will eliminate all the hangers, as long as he stands up, then he, the rebel leader, will definitely not survive.

Just like the Deep Sea Monarch said.

The people who stood up to resist back then died, but some of the people who were not as strong as him are still alive.

Obviously, this is the game company killing chickens to show monkeys.

They also know that antivirus software can only solve for a while, not for a lifetime.

That's why they regularly eliminate a group of hangers, leaving behind some scammers who are afraid of them, and when the antivirus software gets old, those powerful scammers who once survived will join the Authority, thus handing over life and death to the game company.

"It's not you we choose, it's you who chooses yourself."

"As I said, you have mercy."

"When you learn that the vast majority of those who hang will die, you will never sit idly by and steal your life."

"Zhou Paper Kite, Su Nian, Zhou Yu, Yan Luo, Rolling...... If they're all zero-cleared, can you sit idly by? ”

Zhi Yao supported her body with both hands, and approached Xia Shu little by little, but her voice was low little by little.

"It's too close."

Natsuki turned his head, and at this distance, he could already smell the faint body fragrance coming from Zhi Yao's body and the hot breath on his face.

But Zhi Yao stopped and ignored it.

It wasn't until the two of them were only separated by a fist that their eyes could clearly reflect each other's figures that they stopped.

"And me, you are not alone, I will always be with you."

"If you die, I will be with you, turn into a pile of basic data, fly to the sun overhead, and eventually become the nourishment of this world......"
