112: Everything is under control

"Will this really work?"

Two hours later, a group of fleet commanders returned to their respective command ships, each carrying several storage devices filled with tactical helmets.

"It should work... Just like that guy said, he is, after all, a Grandmaster Level Researcher who passed the assessment of the Statue of Liberty and the lunatics at the Research Institute. He might have added some functions we don't know about."

A commander took out a tactical helmet and examined it for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Go on, distribute these to all soldiers as soon as possible. Under no circumstances are they to be removed."

"Understood, General."

The adjutant nodded, took the storage devices, and ordered people to distribute them one by one.

Soon, everyone in the entire temporary legion was wearing a tactical helmet, including the two Class 3S Experts.

Meanwhile, inside the flagship.

"Sir, all soldiers have finished putting them on."

"Very good. Immediately activate the virtual synchronized projection according to the settings I instructed earlier."

Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately issued the order, feeling a hint of nervousness in his heart.

He had only made two modifications to that batch of tactical helmets: one was adding a one-way instantaneous warp effect, and the other was adding an access interface for virtual projection.

In other words, his plan was to have everyone enter a pre-set real-time virtual illusion!

The mind manifests reality.

The environment of the Cataclysm-level Disaster Zone and the powerful SSS-Rank Star River Beast intensified everyone's fear. Since that was the case, the best way to break it was to let everyone witness this nightmare being torn to shreds with their own eyes.

Then, create a scene in the virtual illusion where the Disaster Zone had been defeated and they were returning in victory.

Although the objective effect of "Fear Invasion" still existed, the people who had psychologically escaped the danger here would naturally be much less affected.

However...

Zhang Huaiyuan lowered his head, looked at his right wrist, and asked with concern:

"Statue of Liberty, the virtual illusion being created needs to integrate with the outside world in real-time. If there is an attack by Galaxy Beast, you must manifest their images in the illusion in advance. Furthermore, if anyone's tactical helmet is destroyed, you need to warp a new one over immediately. Can your computing power handle it?"

"Rest assured, Sir."

The light screen flickered slightly, and a confident voice came out: "Although the Cataclysm-level Disaster Zone has affected my transmission speed to a certain extent, thanks to the algorithm you provided earlier, my current capabilities have far exceeded what they were before. It is completely not a problem."

"That's good. Let's work together to eradicate this Disaster Zone."

Hearing this, Zhang Huaiyuan felt much more at ease. The Statue of Liberty had never disappointed him.

"It is my honor, Sir."

...

The fleet remained in place.

However, in the vision of the other soldiers, they had already entered the core area and reached the moment of the decisive battle.

Galaxy Beast covering the starry sky surged in from all directions, their roars and howls echoing through the black and red void.

This actually made many of the soldiers happy instead of worried.

As regular troops of the Star Alliance, although they were not as elite as main force legions like the "Spear of the Sky", they still possessed basic combat proficiency.

They were helpless against the invisible threats from before, but now that the enemies had truly appeared, they at least had a target to attack.

In their field of vision, the Statue of Liberty began to take full control of the combat command.

High-powered gravitational weapons and acoustic resonance weapons were launched simultaneously. It was like a whole mountain crashing into the water, and in an instant, the entire void was detonated.

Every second, tens of thousands of Galaxy Beast fell.

High-powered single-target kill cluster energy weapons focused on individual powerful Galaxy Beast, completing precise kills.

"Mobile units, attack according to assigned targets."

As the order from the Statue of Liberty was issued, the soldiers who had long been standing by drove their mechs and roared away.

"These are monsters from a Cataclysm-level Disaster Zone... We are no match for them..."

Under the effect of Fear Invasion, faint worry emerged in their hearts, but military orders were like mountains, so they had no choice but to charge.

Under the cover of the starship's firepower, they quickly approached the scattered herd of beasts. A joint hand cannon blasted off an outstretched tentacle, and a laser hand-saw popped out from the right arm, slashing down fiercely.

The body of a Galaxy Beast was immediately severed in two, and green blood gushed out.

"Huh? Have I become this powerful?"

The soldier piloting the mech was slightly stunned. Usually, it took at least a dozen slashes to kill a monster from a Cataclysm-level Disaster Zone, but today he had actually killed it instantly?

"Perhaps it's the effect of the tactical helmet improved by Mr. Zhang? Forget it, why worry about it so much? Being able to kill them is always a good thing, and this is all military merit!"

A trace of joy appeared on the soldier's face, and the fear in his heart dissipated a little. He then charged toward another monster.

Meanwhile, Sailos and Kols, the two Class 3S Experts, were also engaging several SSS-Rank Star River Beast respectively.

"Be careful, these monsters are not easy to deal with."

A trace of solemnity appeared on Sailos's face. His body blurred slightly, and six identical clones walked out from behind him.

"Using your ultimate move right from the start?"

Kols frowned slightly. Although he was confident, he knew his opponent's strength very well, so he immediately became cautious. His figure turned into wisps of invisible wind and merged into the void.

Everything around was instantly cut into fragments.

A violent windstorm rose in the void, quickly growing to the size of a planet, and swept away in a posture that crushed everything.

"It's fortunate that the data for these two gentlemen is relatively complete, otherwise it would be quite difficult to achieve a perfect simulation."

Compared to the intense activity in the illusion, the command center was much more peaceful.

"Good work. The SSS-Rank Star River Beast in 'The Great Millstone' left a significant shadow on Sailos. It can't be solved too easily. It's best to let him fight with all his might, and then barely win with Kols's help."

Zhang Huaiyuan watched the whole process and made adjustments.

"Understood, Sir."

"Hmm..."

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded, watching the soldiers whose morale was gradually rising, a slight smile appearing on his face.

At this rate, once this act is over, they can truly attack the core area.

—Of course, at that time, from their perspective, it will just be a small-to-medium Disaster Zone encountered by chance on the way back to celebrate, which they will kick to death in passing.

Everything was under control.
