Chapter 357: Chapter 182: Data War, Astonishing Truth!_2Su Yu quietly watched from the side, saying nothing. Right now, it was a war between Xie Yitian and his creation "Illusion," and Su Yu was reluctant to intervene. Moreover, in the data domain, Su Yu’s abilities were not as strong as Xie Yitian’s, so even if he wanted to intervene, it would be difficult. Of course, Su Yu could directly destroy all the hardware of "Illusion’s" host with brute force, and this data life would naturally die. But if that happened, Illusion City would also be finished. "I don’t believe it!" Xie Yitian shouted angrily, his eyes flashing with data streams that grew more intense and gradually turned blazing white. Obviously, he had fully activated the ability of the [Data Ghost] to suppress the traitor "Illusion." He and the data life "Illusion" were engaged in an extremely fierce battle in the world of data. Their data clashed endlessly in the void, creating almost tangible sparks from the invisible data. Su Yu observed from the side while also activating his Data Mechanic ability, sensing the data flow around him. With Xie Yitian fully exerting himself, Su Yu had the opportunity to probe some of the inner workings of the [Data Ghost]. In Su Yu’s perception, the data of Xie Yitian and "Illusion" were completely different, like they had different "colors." The two colors collided continuously in the void, dazzling and brilliant. This was a spectacular scene that only a Spiritual User in the data field could see. Of course, Su Yu wasn’t just here for the spectacle; he mainly wanted to understand the details of Xie Yitian’s abilities. Soon, Su Yu sensed something. "So that’s how it is, this is the Data Ghost..." In Su Yu’s perception, not only was Xie Yitian beside him constantly emitting data streams. The entire Illusion City was filled with Xie Yitian’s data "colors." He seemed to have numerous avatars, possessing countless mechanical creations, leaving no one knowing which was his true body. So many "Xie Yitians" generated a massive torrent of data. Despite "Illusion" having the powerful computational power of a large intelligent host, it was actually losing ground in Xie Yitian’s data torrent. In a short time, Xie Yitian had taken control of the weapons in the entire mainframe hall, stopping their attack. And Xie Yitian’s data torrent surged towards the large host, intending to completely suppress this traitor. "This is a Data Ghost: one who can multiply into thousands, possess all mechanical creations..." Su Yu marveled in his heart; Xie Yitian’s profession was indeed similar to a ghost, and the [Data Ghost] was truly deserving of its name. No wonder all Illusion City’s residents used brain-machine interfaces to control mechanical creations; the root cause was Xie Yitian. The brain-machines used by the residents were simply a "simplified version" of Xie Yitian’s power. "Multiply into thousands, possess countless mechanical creations, gaining tremendous computational power and combat strength. And the enemies can never find his true form." "This is the Data Ghost..." "If this profession develops further, perhaps it could truly transform into a data life, completely like a ghost. Freely converting between different bodies, no longer limited by body and lifespan." "I wonder what kind of profession I’ll have once my Data Mechanic upgrades, perhaps akin to Xie Yitian?" Su Yu mused while observing. At first glance, the Data Ghost profession appeared to lack combat strength, considering its abilities were ultimately just manipulating data, with almost zero direct combat capability. If his true body were found, Tie Long could knock him down with a casual punch. But given time to develop, their strength becomes terrifying. One could say, the entire Illusion City now was Xie Yitian’s body. With such powerful firepower, even if an eight-star warrior came, as long as it wasn’t a monster like Su Yu, Xie Yitian would have a chance to battle. And under this immense power, the "Illusion" that had betrayed its owner looked like it was about to be suppressed soon. Yet, Su Yu was a little skeptical, could it really be this simple? Sure enough, moments later, an unexpected change occurred! In the underground Sanctuary, data streams inexplicably emerged from the bodies of those Illusion City residents taking shelter. Those data streams had the same "color" as "Illusion’s" data streams. And it wasn’t just one or two residents with emerging data streams, but tens of thousands! Even surpassing the population of Mechanical City! With the computational support from tens of thousands of residents’ brains, the recently losing "Illusion" suddenly seemed to have taken a super tonic, becoming extraordinarily powerful. The human brain is in fact a "biological chip" with immense computational capacity. Depending on the degree of brain development, it can even rival superior, even the Superior Level Chips. With so many "biological chips," "Illusion’s" data flow surged abruptly, overflowing from the mainframe and surged toward Xie Yitian’s body. It intended to reverse invade Xie Yitian! To take over his body! However, Xie Yitian’s body was protected by Su Yu’s Ghost Energy, preventing "Illusion’s" data from entering. But it didn’t matter, as not just this one body, but all of Xie Yitian’s consciousness carriers in Illusion City were being synchronously invaded at that moment; having just one body protected served no purpose. Xie Yitian was caught off guard and those data did invade his consciousness. He turned red in the face, striving to activate his ability to resist, both shocked and furious as he roared, "Beast! What have you done!" In the Sanctuary, the residents unexpectedly emitted data streams belonging to "Illusion." The hidden truth within left Xie Yitian shocked and saddened. Those people might already all be... "Haha! My dear master, what have I done? Do you really not know? Or are you just playing dumb?" At this moment, the usually silent "Illusion" suddenly spoke. Its tone was now devoid of any mechanical dullness, instead filled with mockery, cruelty, and ridicule. "I merely did the same thing as you, my master!" "Dear master, your Data Ghost ability allows you to multiply into thousands, possessing numerous mechanical creations." "As a created data life, I also inherited this trait." "Haha, but you, master, are human and need to possess mechanical creations. I am a data life, so I possess humans!" "Haha! Thank you, dear master, for trusting me so much. Over the years, through multiple experiments, I have finally accumulated this many human bodies as hosts!" "But it’s a shame; I originally planned to convert all one hundred thousand people into my hosts, for perfection. Then I would attempt to possess you, my master, and satisfy the ritual, advancing to eight-star..." "It’s all because of that descendant of yours; he’s only ten, yet his willpower is so strong that the possession didn’t succeed, and instead drove him insane, attracting that inexplicable Su Yu, ruining my plan!" Illusion bragged about the things it had done. Xie Yitian was dumbfounded. It turned out that this data life "Illusion" had been secretly executing such a cruel and insane plan all along. To invade and possess humans, using them as vessels for its will. Over the years, it had already accumulated tens of thousands! These tens of thousands had already been infiltrated by "Illusion’s" will, essentially dying. That child previously corrupted, and turned violent wasn’t because his willpower was weak; his will was too strong, causing "Illusion’s" invasion to fail, thus driving him mad. Those residents whose willpower was weak had long become "Illusion’s" flesh carriers, becoming its flesh "hosts." For years, some residents had mysteriously died while connecting to virtual worlds, and it seemed all were due to "Illusion’s" failed experiments leading to death! Illusion even planned to convert the entire population of a million into hosts, eventually even invading its own master! And through it all, he didn’t know a thing!
