Chapter 894 - 525: Creating a Buffer Zone (Part 3)
Antipus originally had the habit of weaving webs near her nest to capture the Extraordinary and Broken Boundary Creatures as food.As the Broken Boundary Empress, Antipus’s webs possessed many autonomous abilities, such as transporting captured food directly to her.
Since they can transport, naturally, they can also be transported to designated spaces within the Broken Realm.
If these webs are used to capture the Extraordinary who attempt to invade the real world, they can be caught in the space of the Broken Realm before they even enter the real world.
If not for the sheer number of invading Extraordinary, Antipus alone, as a small creature, might be able to keep most of the Extraordinary Invaders out.
Currently, the number of invading Extraordinary has far exceeded Shen Sui’s imagination. According to Wang Ming’s report, invaders not only come from the thirty-three Soul Card Worlds but perhaps other unknown worlds too, and just in these past few days, they’ve exceeded Antipus’s feeding needs.
Speaking of this, Shen Sui suddenly remembered something Antipus once reported to him.
Among these invading Extraordinary, a large number come from Cultivation Worlds, and they’re not all from the same Cultivation World.
Some malevolent Cultivators have been directly eaten by Antipus, but the vast majority have been sent back to their original worlds by her.
Unlike Extraordinary from other worlds, these Extraordinary from Cultivation Worlds are, without exception, extremely powerful entities, though none have power far exceeding Antipus.
"But some have already reached Miss Freymia’s level."
This was the information conveyed to Shen Sui by Antipus through the connection of their souls.
Out of curiosity, Shen Sui also asked Antipus to investigate the matter.
The results of the investigation left him somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The reason these powerful invaders from Cultivation Worlds keep coming towards the real world with such enthusiasm is because they believe the real world is the Celestial Realm they ascend to after overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation.
The pathways from these Cultivation Worlds to the real world only appear at the moment they surpass the highest level of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Initially, these Cultivators only sought to try their luck, arriving just outside the barrier of the real world through this fleeting tunnel.
However, they then encountered Antipus.
"Since there’s such a powerful Immortal here, this must surely be the Celestial Realm!"
After being expelled by Antipus, these Cultivators were not intimidated; on the contrary, they became even more excited.
When Shen Sui learned of this incident, he honestly wanted to complain, the reason you face the Heavenly Tribulation despite reaching the highest level and occasionally triggering the Celestial Realm, is not because of the legendary ascension, but because the world’s consciousness cannot accommodate so many Immortals and is trying to use the tribulation to strike you down!
And this is merely one example of a power system.
As portals to the real world appear in various worlds, such Transmigrators will surely become more and more numerous.
Considering there might be many accidental intruders among them, some of Shen Sui’s extreme actions couldn’t be carried out to prevent indiscriminate killing.
Therefore, Shen Sui planned to implement an idea he previously had for a copycat.
When an Extraordinary is captured by Antipus’s web and sent into a Broken Boundary Space, the corresponding number of Life Card Masters and their Soul Card projections are immediately teleported into that Broken Boundary Space.
The existence of Soul Card projections protects the Life Card Masters from being directly killed by invaders, and the Life Card Masters, through forced duels, can expel or even kill the invaders.
And this already involves a layer of filtering in the process.
The first-time invaders, after being forced into a duel, will face a rule-based loss when they can’t draw a card at the start of their turn because they don’t have a deck.
As it’s a rule-based loss, their Life Value is not affected, so their lives aren’t truly harmed; the losers will merely be sent back to their original worlds.
If they are merely accidental intruders, they will give up on invasion thereafter.
However, if this invader is truly intent on entering the real world, they will attempt multiple invasions, trying to find ways to kill the Life Card Masters during their confrontations, either denying the Life Card Masters a chance to initiate a forced duel or by seizing the decks of the slain Life Card Masters to somehow win a forced duel.
Once invaders possess a deck, their Life Value will effectively reach zero if they lose, and according to the rules of life-and-death duels, their lives will be at an end.
"This idea is just a first draft." Shen Sui chatted with Vivian as a light rain began to fall from the sky, "Once we get back, we’ll work out the details. We need to make this system as autonomous as possible, or I’ll be overwhelmed with work."
Vivian watched the light rain and said, "It sounds like a good idea. But how do you plan to handle the work of selecting Life Card Masters and teleportation?"
"Uh... shouldn’t this be not too hard for you?" Shen Sui hesitated for a moment.
Vivian couldn’t help but glare at Shen Sui, puffing her cheeks, saying, "I knew it!"
After all, it would indeed be too much to ask of Shen Sui to handle such things.
All his power comes from his original level and skills, although in strength, he far surpasses everyone, he’s not as useful when it comes to matters his skills can’t cover.
Fortunately, Shen Sui’s skill library almost covers most needs: combat, artifact refining, revival, recovery...
But when Shen Sui creates unprecedented needs, he seems to fall short on things that require creativity.
Come to think of it, Shen Sui always seemed to use attending study sessions in his own room as an excuse.
Vivian recalled this and became very annoyed.
For the sake of study, just study!
I’m seriously teaching over here, why are you undressing?
In the end, almost all tutoring work ended halfway, leaving Shen Sui quite satisfied.
"Please, Vivian."
Seeing Shen Sui’s look, Vivian sighed and said, "Alright, I’ll handle it."
Then, she nodded in a particular direction, saying, "Go on with your business first. The person you’re waiting for has arrived."
In the direction Vivian pointed, a man holding an umbrella stood amidst the increasingly heavy rain, looking gloomily towards Shen Sui’s direction.
Although he had done some disguising.
But it was exactly these disguises that exposed his identity.
This guy’s disguises all came from the Parasite Beast within his body.
Only those few early invaders could achieve this level.
And these people were undoubtedly Shen Sui’s target.
As soon as the target appeared, Shen Sui’s demeanor changed.
The powerful aura instantly locked onto him.
The Parasite Beast seemed to sense the terrifying aura and started to become restless.
Due to the agitation of the Parasite Beast, the man couldn’t maintain his previous disguise, his previously handsome and pale face seemed to be melting away in the rain, gradually revealing his true appearance.
The man immediately sensed things were not going well.
There were hardly any reckless individuals remaining among those who survived the apocalypse.
This guy, sensing something was amiss, turned to make a run for it.
However, as he turned, he saw a woman dressed in a maid outfit standing behind him.
"Sir," said the silver-haired maid with a smile, "my master invites you."
The appearance of this maid seemed to instantly silence his Parasite Beast.
Since being infected by the Parasite Beast, his body had never been so quiet.
