From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "This might just be the difference between life and machines."

Ze Wei'er Matrix suddenly became interested in the so-called intuition, "If robots also developed intuition, wouldn't they be closer to life?"

Lu Heng was also curious, and casually replied, "It's possible."

Ze Wei'er Matrix noted this point, "This is a very good research direction. Does the Black Feather Spirit have intuition?"

Yuan Yaoyao raised her hand and answered, "The Black Feather Spirit doesn't, but I do, and my intuition is very accurate."

Ze Wei'er Matrix immediately decided, "Very well, next time you come, we will conduct research on human intuition."

In fact, Lu Heng had long realized that Yuan Yaoyao had likely visited the Sikes Civilization more than once.

For her, the Sikes Civilization had already become her second world.

This was a very good development direction.

To delve deeply into a world, to grasp more power in that world, and to use that power to acquire strength.

Of course, when choosing to delve deeply into a world, it is necessary to select an appropriate world based on one's own talents and skills.

For instance, Lu Heng himself would not choose the Sikes Civilization, because his own talents and skills had no connection to the mechanical civilization., and delving into this world would not greatly enhance his own combat power.

Yuan Yaoyao was different. She followed the mechanical enhancement path and possessed the exceptionally rare initial talent "Mechanical Heart". All her skills revolved around acquiring mechanical capabilities.

Moreover, her first summoning had brought her into contact with a top scientist of the Sikes Civilization like Ze Wei'er Matrix, and she had obtained the Black Feather Spirit; it was simply a perfect start.

If Lu Heng were her, he would also choose to cultivate deeply in the Sikes World and bind deeply with this world.

However, this development route of cultivating deeply in a world could also encounter some drawbacks.

For instance, Yuan Yaoyao was now deeply tied to the Sikes Civilization. If one day the Sikes Civilization were swallowed by the Abyss, then her previous efforts would mostly be in vain.

Especially for the mechanical enhancement path, this situation is more severe.

If one day the Sikes Civilization were to perish, then Yuan Yaoyao's Black Feather Spirit would be unable to be maintained, and after damage, with no one to repair it, it wouldn't be long before it would be scrapped.

Once she lost the Black Feather Spirit, her combat power would be cut in half.

Thus, deeply binding with a world indeed allows one to acquire resources from it, but at the same time, one also needs to exert effort for this world to oppose the Abyss.

...

Lu Heng looked at Yuan Yaoyao's childish appearance and thought of many things.

Yuan Yaoyao waved her hand in front of Lu Heng and asked, "Brother Lu, what are you daydreaming about? The professor said that Erslton Strra is indeed on Queen Star, when do we investigate him?"

Lu Heng came back to his senses and agreed, "Uh, let's discuss the action plan, and then we can proceed."

Before starting the action, they still needed to gather the other summoners and hold a meeting to discuss the plan.

Lu Heng asked Jian Qing to notify all allied summoners to come.

After Jian Qing sent someone to contact them, she asked, "Are we gathering everyone now, is the target confirmed?"

Lu Heng nodded and answered, "It's preliminarily confirmed, but this mission is very dangerous, we need to be extra cautious."

Jian Qing took a deep breath and said, "After discovering the Creator Organization's raiding team, I realized, this summoning didn't only bring your super team but also another team almost equal to your strength. The actual difficulty could even be beyond level 6; I'd believe it if someone said it's level 7."

Because Lu Heng did not explain to her that he was not summoned here, in her mind, both Lu Heng's team and the Creator Organization's raiding team were summoned here.

The appearance of two super teams, how terrifying must this mission's difficulty be?

Although Jian Qing misunderstood Lu Heng's appearance, being extra cautious would not be a mistake.

Moreover, this mission was indeed dangerous.

Now that the Creator Organization's raiding team was wanted by the Sikes Civilization Army, it means that this raiding team would probably not participate in the main quest.

In an Abyss Battlefield, if the main teams do not partake in the mission, how would other teams with relatively lower combat power deal with the final boss?

If it wasn't for Lu Heng's team's appearance, this summons mission would need Jian Qing to lead them in facing the danger directly.

Having Lu Heng participate does not guarantee that this mission would become simple.

Lu Heng's team merely replaced the raiding team of the Creator Organization that was originally supposed to fulfill the duty, effectively substituting one elite squad for another.

...

Due to Jian Qing's background in the Daxia Military, she enjoyed a high level of prestige among the Superpower Users.

Even if they didn't agree with her combat power, they would choose to trust her character.

After all, the Daxia Military had already conducted thorough scrutiny of this "Queen of Wind's" ideological and moral character, so there was no need to worry in that regard.

In the Abyss Battlefield, choosing allies wasn't about how strong someone was, but whether or not they were trustworthy.

Clearly, Jian Qing was the most trustworthy person in the entire Abyss Battlefield.

Allying with Jian Qing might not bring substantial benefits, but at least there was no worry about betrayal.

Therefore, over the past ten days, Jian Qing had established connections with many teams.

This gathering saw five teams, totaling twenty-one people, arrive.

Once everyone had arrived, Jian Qing helped make introductions, "Everyone, this Abyss Battlefield has reached its final phase.

"There are only five days left until we return, but as of now, our main quest has not been completed.

"The reason I've called you all here is to prepare for the final operation.

"Before we begin, let me introduce someone.

"Actually, even if I don't introduce him, you probably all know who it is.

"We are fortunate this call has brought three team leaders from Dragon Power. Moving forward, I will follow commander Lu Heng's lead, and I hope everyone else will move forward together with us."

Normally, Lu Heng kept a low profile and seldom appeared in the Superpower User circle.

However, there were quite a few legends about Lu Heng among the Superpower Users.

Perhaps some had never met him in person, but each had heard his name.

When they learned that Lu Heng had also been summoned, the Superpower Users felt mixed emotions.

At first, they were pleased, as having a powerful Superpower User leading the team meant they could simply follow and assist in combat, reducing their stress.

But, it also presented another problem.

When a team of extraordinary combat power appeared in the Abyss Battlefield, it signaled a very high level of danger in this instance of the Abyss Battlefield.

For the first ten days, these Superpower Users did not realize such a strong team had been called.

Seeing Lu Heng's team suddenly appear made the present Superpower Users raise their expectations of the dangers in this Abyss Battlefield.

Lu Heng stood up, took over the discussion, and said, "I won't beat around the bush; let's get straight to the point.

"This main quest is to investigate the mad scientist who studies the Mechanical Demons, and I know you all have been investigating the Xavier Matrix.

"I guess that all your investigations have come up empty, because you have been looking in the wrong direction.

"I won't explain the process or reasons but will directly give you the answer.

"The target of this quest should be this Demon Researcher named Erslton Strra."

As he spoke, the screen displayed the information about Erslton Strra.

Lu Heng continued, "Of course, at the moment, I have only acquired general information about Erslton Strra and have not yet verified it.

"Based on the current clues, I am 80% confident that Erslton Strra is the target of our main quest.

"Next, our task is to verify whether this information is accurate.

"Firstly, track Erslton Strra's whereabouts, then investigate the projects he has been researching.

"Find the location of his laboratory, identify the Mechanical Demons he has created.

"Finally, implement the operation, destroy both the Mechanical Demons and Erslton Strra's laboratory.

"That's the plan of action for now; the specific details still need to be discussed together."
