Chapter 106: The Fourth Chain Aether War

Boom Boom –

On the vast subterranean ice fields of Ganymede, a large shadow has fallen, the Leviathan, its body deeply embedded in the ice field.

Its fall not only tore the ground apart, but also triggered an earth-shattering volcanic eruption.

Yes, there are volcanoes in Callisto.

This is a fact that has been observed in Terra academic circles.

Even though Terra was wrapped in [Crystal Sky], the transcendent academic world, dominated by thaumaturgists, was still unwilling to give up the starry sky above her head.

As the famous saying goes: The two things that are most sacred and ever-changing, and the two things that amaze and shock us the most, are the stars in the sky and the moral law in our hearts.

Sooner or later, this land will need a group of people who can stand together without politics and unity.

They will lead humanity to the stars, and idealists and farsightedness are convinced of this.

As a result, academic research and discussion on habitable planets has been a topic of interest among astronomers.

Normally, people look to terrestrial planets, because Terra is a terrestrial planet, and people's paths are determined by their paths, so most Terranians want their future colonies to be similar to Terra.

Earth-like planets in stellar habitable zones are generally regarded as ideal birthplaces for life, but some astronomers who have taken a different approach have turned their attention to a more subnumerous and more complex celestial body: moons.

These objects, which are much smaller than stars, are actually more common in the universe.

There is only one star and 8 planets in the solar system, but there are 224 satellites that have been identified.

And a large part of these moons in the universe may have liquid water (compounds currently thought to be necessary for life) on the surface or inside. In the solar system, Europa, Europa, and Ganymede, as well as Titan, Titan, and Titan, all show signs of liquid water inside, and the magical Titan even has a large amount of liquid organic matter on the surface.

On Titan there is a 1,000-metre-high dormant ice volcano surrounded by huge sand dunes and a crater up to 1,200 metres deep.

And at this moment, the silent volcano is awakened by the fight between two inhuman monsters.

Grunt grunt –

The crater is like an apocalyptic craw, and the lava gushing out of it flows like blood, hot and hot, in stark contrast to the icy world around it.

The magma erupted along the huge cracks that had been cracked by the impact, like a crimson river, constantly spreading outward.

The Leviathan's massive body became the trigger for the eruption, and each of its struggles caused more lava to gush out from the depths of the earth, and each collision was a groan of pain from the earth.

Hiss –

When these boiling magma meet the surrounding snow and ice, a violent reaction occurs.

The moment the two extreme temperatures came into contact, there was a big explosion of steam, and the hissing sound was like the wailing of countless snakes and ghosts, filling every corner of this ice field.

The heat was steaming, the steam was rising, as if the soul of the earth was released at this moment.

The chemical gases released by the volcano and magma formed a thick fog in the cold air, and in the clouds, everything on the ice sheet was shrouded in a hazy and mysterious atmosphere.

The forces of fire and ice collide here, creating one of nature's most spectacular paintings.

Bump –

The Leviathan struggled to move its massive body through the erupting volcano, and on its surface there was a dent caused by the Fourth Sword-Wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom, a testimony to the astonishing assault it had endured.

However, the wound is rapidly healing on its own, as if the Leviathan possesses some extraordinary regenerative ability, and its life force is almost endless.

The surroundings are filled with an air of chaos and destruction, with the lava of the volcano and the cold of the ice fields colliding against each other, creating an absurd and distorted picture. Leviathan's massive body looked even more terrifying and shocking in this apocalyptic background.

Around it, a huge ivory-black aura began to appear, and this aura was like a distorted void door, exuding a kind of evil and darkness that did not belong to this world.

[Crown of Civilization——]

[The Great Creation of Is: Leviathan Behemoth!] 】

Shrouded in aura, Leviathan opened its terrifying mouth and let out a roar that shook the world.

The sound wave was like an invisible shock wave, shattering the hill along the way, as if the earth itself was weeping and groaning.

This roar was not only a sound, it also carried a terrible spiritual pollution, like an invisible claw, attacking the distant enemy, the blonde-haired and white-eyed youth.

At this moment, Xia Xian rushed in the direction of Leviathan, and the wings of light surged behind him, splashing particles and dragging rainbow light.

And when Leviathan attacked, the [Triple Crown] behind him began to enter efficient computing mode.

[A large number of element shocks detected!] 】

[[Turin Type I] enters loading mode-]

[Authoritarian Domain: Blessing——]

[Thinking into overclocking mode——]

[Begin to sublimate consciousness!] 】

Buzz –

[The triple crown] glows as hot as the sun.

When Leviathan's massive [Elemental Shock] came at him, his consciousness began to immerse himself in an unprecedented state, and was guided into the overclocking mode of his mind, a cosmic ocean of mind, thinking far faster than he normally would.

Time seemed to stand still in this instant, or rather, there was no time left in his world.

His mind flickered like lightning, quickly crossing the galaxy of knowledge, touching the mysteries and truths of the universe.

He was no longer a finite being, but merged into the vast information of the ether, briefly entering the immensity of the gods and stars.

For the first time since he obtained the [Turin Type I], this is the first time since he stepped into the [Crowner] that he has made the [Triple Crown] go all out.

The normal operation value of up to one trillion Ether floating-point operations per second is 100 billion ~ 120 billion Ethernet floating-point operations per second, and the average [Crown] simply cannot support such a huge operation if it exceeds this value.

The general [crown] main core includes the following parts: crown stock, number of core information authority, Ethernet architecture analysis, clock frequency, power consumption, and blessing module.

Crown stock: The larger the crown stock, the larger and more complex ether information can be processed.

Number of core information authority: The more cores, the greater the processing power.

Ethernet architecture analysis: Different architectures have different performance characteristics.

Clock Frequency: The [Crown] Clock frequency determines the speed of computation.

Power consumption: The power consumption of [the crown] is critical to the overall energy efficiency and heat dissipation requirements of the [crown], and the higher the power consumption, the greater the authority that can be exercised.

Blessing Module: The module determines the upper limit of [Crown].

At this moment, the volume of the Leviathan on the opposite side and the [Crown] behind it were the largest one Xia Xiu had ever seen, and at this moment, the [Elemental Impact] launched by the other party had more than doubled the 120 billion ether floating-point operation per second.

Moreover, the other party not only took the initiative to launch [Elemental Impact], but also launched [Authority Hacking], which is a kind of [Aether Seven-Layer Realm War] that can only be entered by thaumaturgists above the [Crown].

That is, the ether chain war.

In this kind of war, the time of 1 second is stretched infinitely.

For high-level thaumaturgists, the confrontation, hacking, anti-hacking, pollution, collapse, etc., of information authority, are all hundreds of millions of interactive conflicts in an instant.

Even if the ants below [the crown] catch a glimpse, they will be directly destroyed by the huge elements of hundreds of millions of interactions on the spot.

Do not look directly at the crowned one.

This is the insurmountable truth of the weak.

[Current Ethernet floating-point operations: 370 billion ~ 560 billion Ethernet floating-point operations per second (in high-speed operation, please prevent [Crown] from bursting due to overheating)!! 】

【Passive Heat Dissipation and Start-up——】

[Active Heat Dissipation and Start-up——]

[This attack comes from the fourth Aether guide chain shock (the fourth layer of the Aether realm, the Aether transport layer/the information authority flow layer)——]

[Attacker detected: Leviathan!] 】

[The attacker sends a large amount of information through the fourth lead chain, and the authority is distorted, and the malicious midosin and mythic factor attack [Turin Type I] and its carriers!! 】

[Suffering from a large-scale Ethernet protocol vulnerability attack!! 】

The three auras behind Xia Xiu surrounded him like talismans, and began to emit a fiery glow like the sun.

These auras were like the great sun, and each layer contained great power, and now they poured this power out to him selflessly.

The light on the halo began to shatter, turning into countless shining particles of light, which flew freely around the youth, each one as bright as a star.

The light particles streaked through the air, leaving bright trails in their wake, as if weaving an invisible web designed to protect him from any harm.

In a state of supernormal thinking.

Time slowed down in his eyes, the world became clearer, every detail, every movement magnified, and nothing escaped his keen perception.

He could feel the vibrations of air molecules, he could hear the echoes of distant galaxies, and his consciousness was lifted to a new dimension.

So, he controlled everything he could control, and in the intervening time, he launched a terrifying aetheric war with the monsters in front of him.

[Start testing——]

[The attacker uses a large number of midoses and reality-bending requests to perform [Element Inundation Impact].]

The underlying system of the surrounding reality has been highly distorted, the underlying physical rules are slow to respond, some rules are completely unusable, and your existence is being distorted by the causal side.

Attackers launch large-scale sanity contamination. 】

[Enter Coping Mode——]

[The use of the intrusion detection system and the intrusion prevention system have been activated, and all abnormal elements have been monitored and intercepted!]

The [Wall of Sighs] has been configured to filter out reality distortions from potential attackers to allow only ethernet interactions from trusted sources.

Sanity contamination has been filtered to identify and block anomalous elements associated with feature attacks.

The load balancer has been set up and has begun to spread out the elements and distribute the attack load.

The patched operating system has been launched and known protocol vulnerabilities are being fixed. 】

The white jade-like aura slowly unfolded, and the light they emitted was like the rising sun, dazzling.

The Leviathan attack seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, without making a single wave.

Leviathan's offensive was blocked by Xia Xiu, and now, it was his turn to fight back.

[Elements Loaded: Light, Perfection, Order, Truth, Law-]

[Shard Element Impact: Activation!] 】

Xia Xiu's will penetrated the boundaries of the Aetheric Ocean and reached the core of the fourth guide chain.

Using the principle of [Ocean of Aether], Xia Xiu began to tune his attacks, subdividing a powerful blow into countless small pieces of spirit and sanity.

Each fragment was like a carefully woven packet of data that he sent through [Crown] to different strike nodes, designed to bypass the Leviathan's massive natural defenses and search for cracks in its spirit and existence.

These fragments weave through the ocean of Leviathan's consciousness, silently disrupting its mental network.

With Xia Xiu's authority, spirit, and intellectual power, they invisibly eroded Leviathan's spiritual fortress and gradually occupied its mental defense nodes.

In the fourth leadchain, elemental sharding of the fourth sword-wielder of the kingdom of heaven is a mechanism attack that breaks down large elements into smaller fragments for transmission.

The fragments are reassembled on the target system to revert to their original state.

The fourth lead chain usually dictates how the [mythic factor] is sharded, how the ether works, and how reality is distorted.

This is also known as the protocol of the fourth lead chain.

On the other hand, [shard element shock] uses the packet sharding mechanism specified by the protocol to send malicious shards, including specific shard offsets, fragment sizes, or overlaps.

This can confuse the cognitive system of the target system, leading to incorrect cognitive distortions, which in turn can pollute the opponent's sanity and cause the opponent to have a sanity loophole.

If there is a vulnerability or error in the target [crown] algorithm, an attacker can trigger the vulnerability by sending a specific element shard.

Causing the other party to reorganize incorrectly, resulting in security vulnerabilities or abnormal behavior.

A sharding attack can cause the target system to consume a large amount of computing resources and [mythic factor] to process a large number of shards, further making the [crown] response slow or unavailable.

Finally, in a flurry of sharding attacks.

The enemy's sanity is bound to begin to overwhelm, and a large number of protocol breaches will trigger a denial of service and response from the fourth chain.

[The fourth guide chain has triggered a denial of service!] 】

[Large-scale Aether backlash detected——]

[Level 6 Aether Tidal Blast is coming!] 】

"Roar—"

In the face of the fourth chain's refusal to respond to service, Leviathan seemed so powerless.

Click-

Its once-indestructible aura was now beginning to form tiny cracks, each crack seemed to be a fragment of its spirit and sanity, peeling off little by little.

As the rift spreads, its once impregnable psychic barrier is now suffering an unprecedented impact.

The massive body tumbled in the magma, stirring up a huge whirlpool, and its pain could be felt in almost every corner of Callisto.

The terrible roar was not only a catharsis of pain, but also a call of despair in the depths of his spirit.

Its eyes now glowed with madness, and its roar was full of struggle and reluctance.

Streams of twisted energy were released with each movement, as if protesting against the irresistible disintegration.

And at this moment, what is even worse for Leviathan is the constantly expanding three auras in the sky.

and, the terrifying monster contained in that aura.

[Holy one! 】

【Holy one!!】 】

【Holy !! 】
