Chapter 1014 – Coming Right Over

Earth, timeline γ-891.

When the near-Earth satellite AI they had been inhabiting was suddenly destroyed, the Technology Ghosts that had fled into the planet’s surface network sensed the crisis. They seized control of various nations’ military AI systems and launched small-scale wars to probe their “enemy.”

“Troublesome…” Lin Yuwei hovered ten thousand meters in the air, her elegant brows slightly furrowed.

Her psychic perception spread like a spider’s web across the entire globe, allowing her to clearly “see” every disturbance. With a wave of her hand, she destroyed the weapons that had just been activated.

But the problem was — she couldn’t stop them all simultaneously.

Powerful as her psychic abilities were, they had their limits. She couldn’t synchronously destroy every malfunctioning technological weapon at once.

The Technology Ghosts seemed to have noticed her predicament. The number of war weapons they activated grew ever larger and more frequent, constantly testing her limits.

“They’re trying to drag all of Earth down with them…” Lin Yuwei formed hand seals, her psychic energy transforming into tens of millions of fine threads that shot toward every corner of the globe like a torrential downpour.

But just then, the air beside her rippled, and Mo Lan stepped out of the mirror space.

“You’re… Moira?” Lin Yuwei had just contacted her through the beacon and knew she was on her way.

Mo Lan nodded and handed her a {Technology Ghost Elimination Program} card. “Time is short — try this!”

Lin Yuwei took the card. A sweep of her psychic perception was all it took to instantly understand how to use it.

She didn’t hesitate. She materialized the card directly, and a small silver storage device appeared in her palm.

“The nearest network node…” Lin Yuwei swept with her psychic energy and locked onto a city data center three kilometers away.

Her figure flickered, and in an instant she appeared outside the data center building.

The soldiers standing guard didn’t even catch a glimpse of her — they only felt a faint breeze brush past.

Lin Yuwei had already phased through the walls and arrived at the core server room, plugging the storage device into the main server’s universal port.

The next second, an invisible data pulse erupted at the speed of light.

An “information virus” specifically designed to target the consciousness structure of Technology Ghosts spread like wildfire through fiber optic cables, wireless signals, and even faint electromagnetic radiation.

Across the globe, every device controlled by the Technology Ghosts shuddered simultaneously.

Missile silo control consoles went black, all commands wiped clean. Drone swarms plummeted like kites with severed strings. Automated tanks had their engines cut all at once…

A faint, ghostly shriek echoed through the data networks — the agonized wail of the Technology Ghost’s consciousness being torn apart.

It tried to flee, splitting itself into countless fragments and hiding in different devices. But the elimination program was like an intelligent hunter, precisely tracking every shard of consciousness, pursuing relentlessly, leaving no survivors.

Thirty seconds later, global networks returned to calm.

All compromised systems were restored to normal. All malicious code was thoroughly purged.

The Technology Ghosts — the existence that had ravaged the γ-891 world for years and nearly pushed human civilization to the brink of extinction — were uprooted and annihilated in thirty seconds.

Lin Yuwei closed her eyes, sensing the changes across the globe. “It’s over…”

There was a note of disbelief in her voice.

One card. Thirty seconds. And it was all finished.

“That’s the power of technology against technology! Zhao Mingxuan’s elimination program is devastatingly effective against Technology Ghosts!” Mo Lan’s voice rang out from behind her.

It was only after witnessing this that she truly realized technological civilization had its own brilliance.

“Zhao Mingxuan told us it took him over fifty years to write that thing, and you copied it in seconds!” Lin Yuwei said with a sigh of admiration.

They had all been sent away from Earth because of their powerful souls — so how was it that every one of them wielded devastating weapons, while she couldn’t even fully eradicate a single Technology Ghost!

“Good thing we have you, able to turn these things into cards. Otherwise, coming all this way would have been for nothing!” “Everyone’s strength matters! No matter how powerful I am alone, I can’t be everywhere at once…” Mo Lan said earnestly. “Before you all arrived, out of the three timelines — ε-015, γ-891, and δ-332 — I could save one Earth at most. Now we can save them all!”

She handed the Card Magic Contract to Lin Yuwei. “Sign the contract! I’ll leave the rest here to you!”

“Alright!” After reading through the contract, Lin Yuwei immediately understood how powerful Card Magic was. Getting it for free was an incredible bargain, and she signed without a moment’s hesitation.

“I’ve reached the vicinity of δ-332.”

“I’m here too!”

The voices of Chen Mu and Venerable Iron Star came through the beacon.

“I’m coming right over!”

After bidding farewell to Lin Yuwei, Mo Lan immediately boarded the Starsea Skiff and rushed toward the Earth of timeline δ-332.

The moment she emerged from the spacetime wormhole, her gaze was drawn to the translucent amber halo enveloping Earth.

Drawing closer, she could see frozen clouds, motionless ocean waves, and explosions suspended mid-blast like sculptures.

Time across the entire world had stopped.

Outside Earth, a sleek silver-white ship was docked, and beside it floated a hundred-meter-tall golden-armored puppet.

Chen Mu, Sophia, and Venerable Iron Star were currently on the ship’s bridge, discussing the state of Earth across the various timelines.

When the Starsea Skiff approached in stealth mode, none of them detected it at all.

Mo Lan stepped through the boundary membrane of the mirror space, landing lightly on the bridge’s metal floor.

“!”

“?!”

All three on the bridge startled at once.

The time hourglass in Sophia’s hand nearly slipped from her grasp. Chen Mu’s mana shield activated instantly.

Wang Tiezhu went straight into a combat stance. His bulging muscles combined with the flowing Daoist robes he wore created a strangely incongruous sight.

“M-Moira?” Wang Tiezhu’s eyes went wide. “Aren’t you from the magic-side world? And you’ve trained your body too? You can actually walk through the void to get here?”

Mo Lan looked at the three of them on high alert and shook her head helplessly. She turned around, raised her hand, and gently tapped the void.

The boundary membrane of the mirror space rippled like water, dropping out of full stealth mode and revealing itself.

“I came in that.” Mo Lan pointed at the mirror space.

The bridge fell into a brief silence.

Sophia’s eyes widened slightly. “Is that… a vehicle built from a demiplane? And it’s been infused with a massive amount of rare time-attribute materials. Moira, you’re absurdly wealthy!”

She felt as if Mo Lan’s entire being had started glowing with golden light.

Even in the seven-dimensional world, which possessed time divine artifacts, time-attribute materials were luxury goods priced by the gram.

And this mirror space before her had been reinforced throughout!

Chen Mu silently turned to look back at his own mana-powered ship.

That vessel — one he had spent three hundred years designing, built with the most advanced mana technology the Star Ring world had to offer — suddenly seemed, in comparison to the Starsea Skiff… a bit modest.

No, not a bit. Extremely.
