The game has become a real alternate world

Chapter 1220 - 831: Vanguard of the Void (Part 2)

......Ring Tower City·Abnormal Energy Analysis Institute Core Hall.

A moment ago, still enveloped in the tense aftermath brought by the alert from Hampton Town.

But now, that singular and glaring crisis signal seems so trivial.

Because, just one hour after that report was marked as "Confirm-Priority One" and uploaded to the main database.

The blinding red light, like spilled blood, instantly flooded all the monitoring rune screens within the abnormal energy analysis hall.

The sound of the alarm pierced throughout the entire hall.

"Warning! Warning! Abnormal data pulse detected in Bex Town—Coordinate L-47K-9!"

A young operator nearly screamed out, his finger trembling as it pointed to another wildly flickering screen, his voice distorted by extreme shock.

He hadn’t even finished his sentence.

"Repeat! North of Spiral Mountain, deserted area, coordinate M-22A-3! Abnormal energy peak value 900%! Match with Hampton initial waveform 97%!"

The half-elf analyst in charge of area scanning slammed the console, his voice hoarse.

"Damn it! Coordinate N-15F-1 showing simultaneous surge! We only have one fluctuation probe there, and it was set up just a month ago!"

Another bald human old technician cursed helplessly, oblivious to the report scroll slipping from his hand and falling to the floor, "Not sporadic! Not sporadic! This is...!"

"Anwein Northern Territory! Coordinate P-..." a usually calm female mage’s voice for the first time carried a tremble of panic, "God! West of Lebia Continent... Coordinate..."

"Report—Spiral Ocean... Coordinate..." the urgent shout was drowned by more alarm sounds.

Chaos swept through the entire department like a blast shockwave.

The piercing alarms were no longer a single note, but converged into a relentless, nerve-wracking death symphony.

On the walls, scarlet spots symbolizing different regions and severity levels flashed and overlapped, eventually dyeing the entire hall into a sea of desperate blood red.

The cold mechanical prompt repeatedly screamed "Highest Threat Level," but was instantly engulfed by more noisy shouting.

"Stay calm! Report coordinates and key parameters! Filter redundant data! Prioritize reporting abnormal data received from those oil bases to priority gathering points! Priority gathering points!"

Chief Analyst Leo’s roar barely penetrated the noise, his face under the red light looked like a demon, yet his fingers steadied and frantically moved across the main control screen, categorizing data.

But the surging data stream on the screen converged into a torrent, like an uncontrolled waterfall, instantly overwhelming the preset filter models.

"Too much! Too much!" an operator shouted in despair.

He was still very young, hadn’t experienced much.

He was not a Warrior.

This abnormal Void data came rushing in like tides, momentarily overwhelming their minds.

Because, it was as if the apocalypse was imminent.

"Manual entry! Region confirmation!"

Leo’s voice carried an ironclad authority, "Who is responsible for coordinates of various countries’ gathering points? Who saw the ocean coastline? Report coordinates loudly!"

"Tessbur City has sent abnormal data!" a voice shouted hastily.

Panic twined like an icy serpent around the young operator’s heart, his voice breaking with sobs: "Sir, what do we... do? It’s everywhere... not just one or two..."

"Shut up!"

Beside him, a scar-faced veteran analyst abruptly interrupted, having survived the initial wars, he was purely old.

Hence his resolve was firm, his gaze as sharp as an eagle.

"Stop crying! Record! Cross-check repeated coordinates! Priority gathering points!" his voice was hoarse but exceptionally powerful, "No matter how many there are! Jotting it down is our job!"

Chief Leo abruptly looked up, on the blood-splattered screen, cursors representing "abnormal points" exploded like a plague across the global map.

Within just ten seconds, they had spread from a few scattered points to dozens, and seemed far from stopping.

"All confirmed coordinates synchronized to the database!" he took a deep breath, his voice forcibly suppressing the indoor clamor and fear.

"Alert Level: ’Doomsday Clock’—Official Launch! Activate highest authority: Emergency link to Torch Council! Concurrently notify all military and decision-making levels in Ring Tower City!"

His fingers firmly pressed a rune core protected by a heavy crystal cover.

A beam of deep purple light, purer and more concentrated than all alarm lights, instantly shot up from the analysis tower top, penetrating the floating island’s base.

Instantly, through a previously modified datafication structure, the information was rapidly transmitted into some important internal channels.

Heart of the Ring Tower·Command Hall

At the very moment the purple beam rose.

Inside the highest spherical command hall of the Ring Tower, the surrounding massive holographic projections emitted a dazzling red glow.

A flash of teleportation light passed, and Alyris’s figure appeared instantly before the massive command throne.

Her deep crimson eyes swept over the terrifying global red dot explosion map on the projection ahead, her usual calm replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and sharpness.

Without a moment’s hesitation, a cold yet powerful will instantly enveloped the entire command hall.

"Global Silence!"

Her voice was not loud, yet it possessed a peculiar piercing power, instantly overshadowing the sounds of gasping and whispers that had just arisen in the hall through the amplification array.

The entire command hall fell into an instant silence.

And in all the Night Watcher channels, they suddenly discovered that whether it was the [World] channel facing all Night Watchers, or the [Regional] channel facing a specific area, all had been silenced, even the private channels of various teams were in silence at this moment.

"Connect all high-level communication channels."

Alyris’s gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over the dozens of activated floating light screens in front of her.

Each corresponded to a key department or legion’s command center, with faces on screen showing extreme tension.

She directly issued commands, speaking extremely fast.

"This is Alyris, Chief Judge of the Judgement Court, Blade of Kana. Abnormal energy analysis data has been fully pushed and shared."

"Confirmation: Void Vanguard Army’s full-scale invasion stance has formed. ’Doomsday Clock’ defense program officially launched!"

"Immediate execution: ’Salvation’ emergency plan first sequence!"

"Activate highest Void alert in Ring Tower City and all subordinate cities, close off non-core areas, and fully activate defense systems!"

As the orders were given, the operators below immediately tapped the runes, transforming the commands into streams of data and instantly transmitting them.

Her gaze turned to the first light screen that lit up — representing the Night Patrol Command Center.

"Night Patrol Headquarters——Lululuse!"

"Order: All Night Patrol squads distributed at world nodes, immediately proceed to the nearest rehearsal coordinate area according to your location!"

"Mission Core: Top priority — establish information nodes, guide civilian evacuation, mark precise rift locations, suppress small-scale pollution creature spread!"

"At all costs, delay the advance of the Vanguard Army in each area! Buy time for follow-up forces!"

In the Night Patrol command light screen, the elven girl Lululuse, looking no different from before, stood solemnly at attention: "Night Patrol Headquarters received! Orders broadcast to all nodes immediately! All nodes are now in action!"

Alyris’s gaze quickly turned to the second light screen — representing the heavily armored Light Guardian Command Headquarters.

"Light Guardian Headquarters——General Blake!"

"Order: Cancel all rests for permanent legions! Complete mobilization and assembly according to the pre-established ’Void Vanguard Army’ plan at the fastest speed!"

"Activate teleportation arrays at the highest priority! Support all key reported rift coordinate points!"

"Mission Core: Directly engage the enemy’s main forces! Construct defensive positions! Prevent any large-scale pollution units and Vanguard Army groups from leaving the danger zone!"

"If necessary, execute [Extermination] tactics!"

On the light screen, General Blake’s dignified silver armor gleamed, his voice steady as a bell: "Light Protector Legion in position! Swears to defend order to the death! Legion teleportation begin activation!"

Alyris’s gaze finally locked onto the third batch of glowing yet particularly brilliant light screens — the independent communication links of the Soul Guardian squads.

"All Soul Guardian squads!"

"Order: Immediately, according to your maneuverability, lock on and reinforce the highest priority high-intensity rift battlefields!"

"Mission Core: Assassinate high-level Void commanders, destroy unstable rift energy cores, support besieged main forces! Clear the way for Night Patrol squads!"

"You are the sharpest blade of order! The blade that thrusts into the heart of the void!"

"’Furnace Anvil’, ’Silent Cold Stream’, ’Eternal Echo’, ’Dawn Blade’, ’Flame Descent’... take action!"

In the Soul Guardian communication channel, short yet powerful voices responded.

"’Furnace Anvil’ received! Target: Bactol coordinates, locked on!"

"’Silent Cold Stream’ has locked onto the deep sea vortex point, teleportation ready!"

"’Eternal Echo’ is in transit, target M-22A-3!"
