The voice of the Devourer was choked with sobs, "Should we...should we continue? We've already...we've already lost five legions..."
Since the appearance of the Honkai Beasts, Karl has gone mad. He ordered all Taotie fleets near the solar system not to retreat, but to get as close as possible to those purple monsters to collect data.
The cost was devastating. The Taotie fleet, like moths drawn to a branding iron, vanished in droves in that silent disintegration.
"Sacrifice is necessary, Devourer."
Karl didn't turn his head; his eyes were fixed on the rapidly spinning data model.
"Compared to the great truth that is about to be revealed, this loss is insignificant. That teacher was so generous! He not only gave us the questions, but also placed the key to solving them right in front of us!"
Karl pointed to the Honkai Beasts that were encircling the Earth.
"They are living textbooks! The energy fluctuations of each Honkai Beast are a perfect formula! I must... I must understand them! I want to become the teacher's best student!"
His fanaticism sent chills down Shi He's spine. For the first time, he felt that death might not be so terrible. What was truly terrifying was following a god... who was driven mad by the pursuit of truth.
Suddenly, Karl stopped operating.
In an instant, all the data streams in front of him were smoothed out and cleared by a higher-dimensional force.
Immediately afterwards, a completely new, much larger, and more complex data packet appeared out of thin air in the center of his temple.
It's not just him.
At the same time, in the Celestial Palace of the Angel Nebula, the main bridge of the Demon Wings, the Celestial Tower of the Sun Star, and even the command center of the Giant Gorge on Earth...
All civilizations deemed "qualified to attend the class" by Zhou Ye received this "teaching material".
[Lesson 2: Introduction to Basic Theory - "Preliminary Conjectures on Honkai Energy Erosion and Reality Distortion"]
A freshly printed textbook from the "teacher".
----split line----
Juxia, command center.
Looking at the massive data stream on the screen, Lianfeng felt like her brain's processor was about to burn out.
"Unable to parse... The encryption method of this data packet is unheard of. No, it's not encrypted at all; it's open, but each data node contains an independent set of cosmic laws. To read it, you must first understand its laws..." Lianfeng's hands moved so fast on the keyboard that afterimages appeared, but the progress bar remained motionless.
"Is this...is this a heavenly book?" Zhao Xin leaned over for a look and felt dizzy.
"No, this is not a book written in the heavens."
A voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw Lena walk in. Her face was still pale, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
“This isn’t some kind of cryptic text, it’s… a blueprint.” Lena walked to the screen, staring intently at the data. “A blueprint… that teaches you how to make a gun. Before, we only knew how to use stones.”
"Can you understand it?" Dukao asked eagerly.
“I don’t understand it.” Lena shook her head, then added, “But… I can feel it. This knowledge contains a power that is the same as, yet completely different from, my grandfather’s stellar drive technology. It is more… fundamental, more… violent.”
She pointed to a small section of the data stream, "For example, here it describes a theoretical model of a Herrscher core. Once it can be manufactured, a single core can easily detonate a star. Note that this is not the kind of detonation that requires guidance and authorization, but rather, at the level of physical rules, it causes the fusion reaction of that star to instantly go out of control."
A collective gasp filled the command center.
One core, igniting a perpetual flame? This is simply devilish knowledge!
"The teacher... handed out the textbooks." Dukao murmured to himself, his eyes filled with an extremely complicated expression.
He both feared the potential destruction this knowledge might bring, and longed to find a way to combat the Honkai, or even "pass" 220.
Just then, a piercing alarm broke everyone's thoughts.
A technician suddenly stood up, pointed at the star map, and his voice changed.
"Report! Extremely high-intensity spacequake detected on the far side of the moon! Something...something is about to emerge!"
On the big screen, the images switched instantly.
On the dark side of the moon, against the backdrop of the pitch-black universe, a massive, eye-like spatial rift was slowly opening.
On the other side of the rift, there was not the starry sky, but a chaotic imaginary space filled with an aura of destruction.
Immediately afterwards, a monster larger and more ferocious than any Honkai Beast seen before slowly emerged from that "eye".
It resembles a mobile fortress made of bones, armor, and resentment, covered with cannons that flash red light.
Emperor-class Honkai Beast - Parvati.
After it appeared, it did not rush towards Earth, but instead opened its enormous, abyss-like maw.
"Om-"
An invisible wave swept across the entire solar system in an instant.
The next second, the purple markings on all the Temple-class Honkai Beasts orbiting the Earth instantly turned into a frenzied crimson.
They were no longer silent jailers, but had become hungry jackals.
The closest "proctor" to them—the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares—let out a loud dragon roar, with purple lightning exploding around its body, seemingly declaring its dissatisfaction.
But, to no avail.
The Emperor-level Honkai Beast merely glanced at it indifferently.
Benares's massive dragon body was as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, unable to move.
Then, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast named Parvati issued its first crystal-clear "command" that all intelligent life could understand, facing the entire solar system.
[Class quiz begins. Question: Purge.]
[Requirement: Eliminate all non-Honkai units within the examination room.]
Time limit: 24 hours.
[Note: The proctor (Benares) has been muted. Candidates are advised to... express themselves freely.]
Chapter 425 Crazy Preview
"eliminate?"
In the command center of the Super God Academy, Liu Chuang stared at the ferocious Emperor-level Honkai Beast on the screen and the cold command. He was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.
"I'll wipe him out! What kind of bullshit test is this? This is practically tearing up the test paper and trying to kill someone!"
“No, this isn’t tearing up the exam paper.” Lena’s lips had lost their color, and her body was trembling slightly. “This is… this is increasing the difficulty of the exam. He first handed out the textbooks, and then immediately started a closed-book exam, and it was… a last-place elimination system.”
"What do you mean?"
Ge Xiaolun asked.
"It means that we, along with the Taotie, demons, and even other possible alien civilizations, have now become prey in this battle royale."
Lena's voice carried a hint of despair.
"Those thousands of activated Temple-class Honkai Beasts are the Hounds. And we must learn to protect ourselves using the knowledge in that textbook before they find us and tear us apart."
Dukao's face instantly turned ashen.
He got it.
Zhou Ye never expected them to be able to understand that cryptic book in a short time.
He wanted to use the threat of death to force them to "preview," to try, and to put those crazy and dangerous theories into practice.
Even if it's just creating a shield that can slightly resist Honkai energy, or a blade that can cut Honkai beasts.
This is the "passing grade".
If you can't do it, you die.
"A madman...he's a complete and utter madman!"
Duca slammed his fist on the control panel, leaving a deep dent in the sturdy alloy surface.
"report!"
The messenger's voice was sharp and urgent.
"A large number of Honkai Beasts have been detected breaking away from Earth's geosynchronous orbit and heading at high speed toward... no, toward all non-natural energy sources on Earth! The first wave of attacks is expected to arrive above the Super God Academy in ten minutes!"
ten minutes!
Everyone's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
What can they do in ten minutes? Fight monsters that can dissect concepts with their existing weapons? That's not fighting, that's suicide.
"What should we do? Dukao, say something!" Liu Chuang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Dukao's eyes were bloodshot, his mind racing. He looked at Lianfeng:
"Is it possible to extract even a single... useful detail from that textbook within ten minutes?"
Lianfeng's face was ashen. She shook her head: "No, General. This is like asking a primary school student who has just learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. We can't even understand the problem!"
Despair, like a tidal wave, engulfed the entire command center.
“No, there is one person who might be able to understand a little,” Lena suddenly spoke, her gaze falling on the silent figure huddled in the corner.
Yuqin, the former top scientist of the Deno Galaxy, is now being guarded like a prisoner.
"She~"
Dukao frowned.
“Although Denuo’s gene technology is also a branch of Shenhe, they tend to focus more on stability and analysis rather than creation and driving.” Lena quickly walked up to Yuqin.
“Yuqin, I know you understand. Now is not the time to argue about who is right and who is wrong. The lives of everyone in the Super God Academy, and even the future of Earth, may depend on whether you can find one… even the simplest word that can save your life from that pile of cryptic books.”
----split line----
Angel Nebula.
Keisha rose from her throne, and for the first time, a deep killing intent appeared on her eternally dignified face.
But that killing intent wasn't directed at Zhou Ye, but at the Honkai Beasts that had turned crimson and were lunging at Earth like mad dogs.
“He turned the Earth into a gladiatorial arena.” He Xi’s voice was hoarse. “We students were the gladiators thrown in.”
“Not just gladiators,” Keisha corrected.
"Or...experimental subjects. He wants to see what kind of antibodies we, these different experimental subjects, will produce when faced with the same deadly virus."
