Within the virtual instance, after Bai Yi released the spore, the "main character group" of six received the message from that mysterious and great entity, and each found a quiet area.
Leaving behind messages, they began their path of evolution.
Because some core components were removed, this evolution path was not long; it was completed in just two hours, and they woke up anew.
Feeling the newfound power suddenly emerging from within yet seemingly originating from themselves, the six young individuals could hardly contain their excitement.
Especially the first two siblings to receive investment, although they relied on two sets of equipment to surpass everyone in combat power, they themselves were still synonymous with fragility.
Now, feeling powerful abilities of their own for the first time, they couldn’t help but smile foolishly, sincerely grateful for the gift from the unknown entity.
However, very soon, they realized that now was not the time for joy, as humans in a distant city were still suffering, and monsters were slaughtering them!
They could not rest at this moment.
Each unknowingly left their rooms, the group exchanged glances, displaying the classic scene of the main character group, and then entered the meeting room like heroes.
At this moment, Bai Yi, who was watching a live broadcast instead of further experimenting due to a wait for Tier Six advancement, even heard stirring music playing.
Accompanied by cinematic slow-motion camera movements, Bai Yi couldn’t help but twitch their lips.
Returning to the higher-ups and several transcendents, each showcased their newly acquired abilities, receiving praise from those present.
Soon, the plan conveyed by Bai Yi was brought up again.
As the great entity that saved them in the most critical moment, Bai Yi’s plan was of course given key consideration.
Additionally, the likelihood of its realization was quite high.
But, for the sake of their people, they deliberated over it thoroughly.
It appeared that this unknown entity seemed inclined to strike the monster side, which aligned with their interests.
This was the core reason they were willing to trust this entity.
However, in execution, the entity seemed indifferent to life.
To Bai Yi, the loss of people in the plan was merely virtual data, meanwhile, to them, it represented vibrant lives.
They felt the plan could cause unnecessary casualties.
Although it struck monsters, it seemed unnecessary for them, who had successfully deterred monsters from large-scale invasion.
Nevertheless, the plan was ultimately implemented.
The reason was that their current intimidation power stemmed from the entity’s help; it could destroy them just as it aided them.
Another significant reason was their own hatred towards monsters.
Emotionally, they did not wish to sacrifice more people.
Yet, emotionally again, if given a chance for vengeance, ambushing monsters, even putting it to a vote among their people, many would support, some willing to become sacrifices.
In times when monsters frequently attacked, many had important friends and loved ones taken away by monsters, holding onto personal grudges; even civilian anti-monster organizations emerged.
An opportunity to bite back at monsters could not be missed.
They also considered that pleasing the unknown entity might grant them more power, even giving them a chance to counterattack the monsters...
Though their speculative process was incorrect, the outcome surprisingly aligned with Bai Yi’s thoughts.
Maximizing gains meant targeting those monsters was inevitable.
Investments would increase as combat results expanded, allowing Bai Yi to invest more.
With the task’s execution confirmed, the next step was defining the specifics.
Aside from the siblings being the surface-level supporters, ensuring allies overcame crisis smoothly and informing monsters their strongest combat power had departed.
Alongside them, two more transcendents joined.
Though leaving several transcendents as guards might seem forced, it was barely reasonable.
Most importantly, the allure they exhibited was greater this way.
The siblings themselves held strong combat power from equipment bonuses; they only needed to familiarize themselves with space ability for immediate return.
The remaining four invested individuals aimed for strong combat power by mastering all their abilities, as much as possible refining the gift from Bai Yi before any potential attacks.
Given the time to harness their abilities, the enhancements brought by the spores were undoubtedly stronger than those equipment sets.
Metallization provided high potential, enabling the creation of armor similar to those equipment sets using existing blueprints.
Moreover, Bai Yi’s fusion combat specialization superpower matched with the great physique of the witch, achieving mastery equated to Tier Six combat power.
At least against those monsters, this was sufficient.
—Within this virtual instance, both the monsters’ and transcendents’ real combat power at the same tier were not strong.
Bai Yi speculated this was to accommodate other Tier Five and even Lords.
