Xyrin Empire-Chapter 207 - Bubble Tower

Chapter 207 -207 Bubble Tower

Lin Xue was feeling pretty pissed off right now.

Because she had always acted as our cheat code, relying on her clairvoyant superpower to play a game of cat and mouse with the dumb enemies who walked right into our traps. But now, she’d run into a wall. The enemy was an even bigger cheater than her, and her most prized prediction ability had become sporadic due to the enemy’s strength, sometimes working and sometimes not. So, she was not at all pleased.

We were all feeling pretty annoyed ourselves.

Because we’d been relying on Lin Xue, our powerful cheat code, and had fun using the golden finger to mess with those unlucky opponents from the shadows. Enjoying the supreme thrill of scheming in secret, but now not only was our cheat code being jammed by someone else, but we too were getting a taste of being cheated. Just thinking that our every move might be under enemy surveillance was leaving me feeling all over the place…

As for how the enemy got their hands on our information, we’ve still made no progress. It couldn’t have been the allies from Azeroth; they had been ruled out since they couldn’t possibly leak those confidential data—they didn’t know most of what we were doing. And the possibility of a leak within the Xyrin Apostles was even more out of the question. Not to mention that the Xyrin Apostles are an incredibly loyal super war race, but they also fall under the watch of an extensive and tight-knit information surveillance network. Of course, this network wouldn’t interfere with their daily lives but monitored all the confidential information in their core thoughts. As soon as a Xyrin Apostle accessed any confidential memory, the surveillance net would instantly activate with zero chance of error. This massive system directly connected to the Leader Level Xyrin Apostles’ spiritual sea and ultimately converged into mine and Sandora’s spirit sea, so I could be absolutely certain there was no way an inside job was possible.

As for the few of us leaking any information, that was even more unlikely—Qianqian, Sandora, Pandora, Sister, Dingdang, Alaya, Anwina… I couldn’t possibly suspect any of them, even if you killed me.

One must have keenly noticed that I’ve deliberately skipped over a certain aggregation prone to bouts of madness due to disrupted superpowers… ahem, okay, I’m joking.

But speaking of bouts of madness, that really fits Lin Xue’s current situation. I don’t know what method the enemy was using, but Lin Xue simply couldn’t see a future that could decrypt the reason behind our actions being leaked. Naturally, our Prophet was utterly downcast about it, so in the past few days, the Xyrin Soldiers staying at the Faith-class level often saw their Madam wandering aimlessly in the armory with a wrench in hand and sometimes frenziedly dismantling machinery…

Of course, even though the enemy found a channel to monitor our movements, we didn’t plan to stop our operations because of it. If the enemy wanted to play a game of cat and mouse, then we would engage to the end—who ends up being the mouse remains to be seen, right?

The day when representatives of all the races would arrive at Serramo was tomorrow. Before this day, Jaina had already begun her busy preparations. I estimate that tomorrow’s meeting will certainly be the biggest and most bizarre foreign guest reception this world has ever seen. Just take a look at the races of the attendees, and you’ll know: Giant Dragons, Elves, Dead Souls, Naga, Humans, Beastmen, and including us “Heavenly Gods”, who else could’ve pulled off such a flashy lineup besides Lin Xue’s crazy idea? Especially the last one, “Heavenly Gods”, not something that could be managed just with a crazy idea. I don’t really care much, but Jaina’s already nervous to the point of near-neurosis.

Of course, I’d bet those huge dark circles under her eyes are more likely because she spent all night fantasizing about how her performance this time would turn into a legend in the history of Azeroth, how many would tell her story, then how the tale would transform into a myth, and how she would become the Chosen One of Azeroth, and how this grand meeting would be celebrated by even more worlds until Azeroth’s story spread across the Endless Void… and so on, in an odd chain of events that were a complete mystery as to how they were connected, leading to a lack of sleep.

Friendly advice: students who haven’t reached a Master Level in logic, please read the above passage with caution.

Aside from Jaina, who had already entered a state of prolonged delusional madness due to her heavy responsibilities, another busy person was Bubbles, theoretically a mother but in practice still a playful, sleepy, and dazed little loli from the trio.

Speaking of which, when Little Baobao called Bubbles “mom” and then hugged my leg and called me “dad”, the expression on Jaina MM’s face right next to us was just priceless…

To ensure that tomorrow’s grand assembly would be under control, we planned to gather those powerful representatives of factions, who couldn’t see eye to eye, in a place powerful enough to subdue them and make them afraid to make any rash moves. This way, even if representatives with deep-seated hatred really wanted to fight, they would settle down under the pressure of the situation. Preparing such a place was naturally entrusted to Bubbles, a Xyrin Host known for its ultra-high efficiency.

Therefore, the residents of Serramo once again witnessed a miracle: a floating steel island appeared overnight in the sky above the town!

This was the result of Bubbles operating at full capacity all night long.

According to Sandora’s introduction, the steel floating island that Bubbles spent a whole night on, and the huge cost of a Sun Well cooldown (?!), was actually a component of another kind of Xyrin Military Units: the base for the Anti-Proton Orbital Defense Cannon.

Due to the loss of Imperial data, Bubbles could no longer connect to the Xyrin Central Database, let alone create such a superweapon as the Anti-Proton Orbital Defense Cannon. However, her brain was filled with enough stored knowledge to create a sufficiently large base. After some modifications, the base, which was originally designed to hold a giant laser gun, was widened and enlarged. All connectors and components on the surface were removed, and with a little post-design, a “Divine Island” prepared for the representatives of various races was steamingly ready.

This steel island floating above Serramo was hexagonal in shape, almost half the size of Serramo itself. At the inverted conical base of the island, countless massive ring-shaped anti-gravity generators provided steady levitating power for the entire island. On top of the island was a huge alloy platform, half the size of Serramo, covered with the hardest alloy that Bubbles could synthesize. It was also mixed with a large amount of Star Gold Stone powder brought by Dingdang. According to Bubbles, full of confidence, this platform could be thrown into an asteroid belt as a moving target and not be damaged, indicating its toughness. Furthermore, with badass ores from the Divine Realm as an additive, the platform’s surface could reduce up to 99 percent of any damage from spells below Divine Technique, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say it was a square that could never be destroyed.

On the large plaza of the Floating Island, Bubbles had built residences for the faction representatives according to the customs of their races, including human houses, Dark Night Elves’ treehouses, Beastman lairs, and Dead Souls’… cough, graveyards…

In summary, my first impression of these buildings was: Azeroth’s version of the World Expo, with human pavilion, undead pavilion, elf pavilion…

A diverse collection of architectural styles was strategically spread over the Floating Island. While they did not deviate from the customs of Azeroth’s natives, the scale and cleanliness of these houses were definitely beyond their understanding. Imagine houses entirely cast from super-strong alloy, equipped with all kinds of automated and intelligent facilities – how incredible would that be in a world where technology was just barely scraping by at the junior level of steam engines?

All the residences for the various races were arranged by Bubbles around the outskirts of the floating area, while a zone in the center of the Floating Island, spanning several kilometers in radius, was cleared for use as a plaza. On this open plaza stood just one building, a colossal spire at the center, known as the Essos Salonfar – Alpha – 15 Pavivon – Gulargro Energy Suppression Special Type – Sodolan Modified Type…

Uh, my tongue’s in a twist…

In any case, I’ve decided to call this super tongue-twisting structure simply: Bubble Tower.

This tower, cumbersome in its full title but striking when abbreviated, served not only as the energy and control hub of the entire Floating Island but as a device with an outrageous ability – a field effect generator. Its sole purpose was to suppress the energy fluctuations of all designated targets in the Serramo area. I’ve seen its performance parameters, and they are terrifying. To put it in layman’s terms: even if you set off a hydrogen bomb beneath Bubble Tower, as long as the energy suppression of the tower is not lifted for that hydrogen bomb, its power will barely be larger than a fart.

Without a doubt, this Bubble Tower was a little surprise prepared for certain unscrupulous faction leaders.
