Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice that suddenly rang out from the side: "Commander Chu, there's no need for that."
Looking in the direction from which the sound came, he saw the chief of staff with a confident smile on his face, and couldn't help but look puzzled.
The chief of staff smiled smugly and pointed to Mount Fuji on the screen, saying, "Our army has now occupied advantageous terrain, and the strategic firepower that has been continuously transferred and transported from Earth is more than enough for us to launch a full-scale counterattack. These natives who only know how to fight by relying on the advantages of anthropomorphic weapons are no match for us."
The commander was a little confused, instinctively feeling that there seemed to be a problem with this statement, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be a problem. Seeing this, the chief of staff immediately made the final decision: "In this wave, we have a great advantage!"
Soul Leap: Chapter 346 Group "Berserk Spell" (Part 1)
After noticing the frequent mobilization of the expeditionary force on Mount Fuji, Lelouch, who was in charge of the command room, revealed a disdainful look: "As expected, they can be called brave as pawns, but as players, they can only be considered reckless... Kallen, Suzaku, we can begin the operation."
Meanwhile, the expeditionary force was on the side of Liu "Ba Qi 07".
After issuing the order to fight to the bitter end, the commander, back in his seat, felt uneasy. His restless gaze inadvertently fell on the small bag on his chest. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and took out the contents of the bag.
—A tiny syringe.
Faced with unknown mental disturbances, the research institute suggested that everyone carry a diluted sedative and take an injection if they felt something was wrong. However, the commander felt perfectly fine, but his inner unease still led him to take this action.
With a brief stinging sensation as the needle pierced his skin, a cold feeling spread from his wrist throughout his body, quickly cooling his feverish brain... Then, the commander finally remembered what was wrong.
"...Staff Officer Li, what was our initial battle plan?"
"what?"
There was no expectation that the Chief of Staff, who was in an abnormal state, could answer. The Commander simply repeated, word by word, those words that had once been considered a conclusion but had been forgotten: "Based on Mount Fuji, we will wage a protracted war... We will use Earth's support to delay the decisive battle into a war of attrition as much as possible. In this way, with the material assistance from Earth and the previous liberation of the world, we will gradually establish an advantage."
"And then, what did I just do?"
Raising his head, the pale-faced commander stared blankly at the red and green dots that had collided on the screen. Almost the instant the two sides made contact, the green dots began to shrink and retreat at a visible speed. Moreover, behind the battlefield—behind the expeditionary force's base—two red dots were rushing forward with unstoppable momentum, heading straight for the center of the command post.
At this moment, the commander also recalled the research institute's conclusion report on these anthropomorphic weapons.
While these anthropomorphic weapons may not be as effective as those used in large-scale military operations, they possess advantages in individual combat that conventional vehicles cannot match. In extreme situations, a single anthropomorphic weapon could even determine the outcome of a battle. Therefore, it is best to remain highly vigilant against these weapons during combat.
"...What the hell have I done?"

After witnessing firsthand the utter rout of the expeditionary force below, even Lin Yi couldn't help but marvel at the bizarre and ruthless nature of this world.
In terms of activity concentration, a medium-activity world might be able to easily create a legion similar in size to an expeditionary force with a single blow through magical or martial arts techniques, but it would be impossible to achieve the current situation where the world collapses on its own without losing a single bit of its own energy... However, it is not without its advantages.
As the "malice" emanating from his body diminished, a tube of dark brown liquid medicine appeared in his outstretched palm.
Just like a lake, the total amount of activity is fixed, just like the lake water. Although it may evaporate and be lost at times, as long as the natural cycle does not change too much, the lake water will eventually return to the normal water level. The same applies to activity.
When the world concentrates the vast majority of its "malice" on one individual, the corresponding "malice" projected onto other individuals will be reduced. This is why the expeditionary force from Earth was able to easily defeat the enemies of the Imperial Arms world with the power of mere ordinary people, and was able to move around like a fish in water in the early stages of entering this low-activity world—even establishing a thirty-year plan.
The main reason is that during these periods, most of the rejection and targeting from the world has been absorbed by Lin Yi, who has never concealed his existence... If you have to put it in a way, it's like the pattern of the main god space invading another world, except that the one who attracts the world's will has changed from the reincarnators to Lin Yi himself, and the person acting in the shadows has changed from Lin Yi to the expeditionary force.
Obviously, it's not a problem for Lin Yi to attract the world's malice in a short period of time to facilitate the expeditionary force's operations. But if it were thirty years, not to mention the length of time, the sheer amount of malice accumulated over such a long period would probably result in him being struck by lightning. That's why Lin Yi keeps "making headlines".
Now that the world has turned against each other, it no longer needs to target just Lin Yi, this "carcinogenic virus." Even "tiny viruses" like the expeditionary force are being targeted and eliminated. Naturally, the malice that was originally focused on him will be dispersed...
Gently turn your palm over, and the dark brown glass bottle, with bubbles constantly rolling in your palm, falls gently under the pull of gravity... towards the center of the battlefield.
"Now, it's my turn."
"Click——"

Li Zhu is a soldier belonging to the Third Detachment of the Expeditionary Force's Anthropomorphic Armed Forces.
Responding to the call of his motherland, Li Zhu underwent rigorous testing and training before participating in this top-secret national project. His mission in this world was the same as on Earth: to fight. The difference was that he used to fight with a gun, but now he was controlling a giant humanoid machine.
To be frank, Li Zhu didn't like such a huge weapon. He was more used to finding the enemy with his own eyes, grasping the weapon with his own hands, and pulling the trigger with his own will... But he didn't refuse. A soldier's duty is to obey. Let alone driving an anthropomorphic weapon, he would drive a tractor if asked to.
However, this day was a little different...
The "Steel Skull," which he already disliked, seemed to be deliberately going against him today. He made a gesture of raising his gun forward, but the machine responded by moving backward. And when it was supposed to move backward, it turned into lying down. At first, he thought there was something wrong with his command, but after it happened several times in a row, Li Zhu no longer thought so.
"Damn it, they always let us down at crucial moments!"
From that moment on, Li Zhu had no more affection for these massive weapons. Just as he was facing the approaching enemy armor and could only watch helplessly as it killed him, he was surprised to notice that this anthropomorphic armor belonging to the Allied Forces completely ignored him as the enemy and directly surpassed... no, it didn't ignore him, but suddenly fell to the ground as if out of control.
"...It broke too?"
Soul Leap: Chapter 347 Group "Berserk" Spell (Part 2)
The anomaly at the front also caught the attention of the coalition forces. If it were just one or two Knightmare aircraft malfunctioning, it could be considered an isolated incident. However, in less than half a minute, more than thirty Knightmare aircraft had gone out of control. Only a fool would think that this was just an anomaly.
"what happened?"
"I don't know... The signals on Knightmare show that everything is working normally."
If the problem isn't with the machine itself, then it must be with the pilot.
Lelouch's first reaction upon realizing this was rebellion. He had no choice but to do so, since he had always been the one manipulating others, and naturally he would have the instinctive worry that others would be manipulated and rebel against him. However, after noticing that his "center of the world" status had not disappeared, he quickly dismissed the possibility.
(If it were a rebellion, there would be no need to do it in a place like that; they should have attacked the command post directly or sabotaged it from the rear... What are these guys thinking?)
Looking at the dozens of Knightmare aircraft at the front line that were clearly intact but seemed to have lost control and were running amok, Lelouch, who had been firmly in control of the situation, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
"...Order them to retreat, or they will be considered enemy troops and annihilated!"
"Annihilate them?!"
His displeased gaze swept over the officer whose face showed astonishment, and the red bird emblem naturally came to mind: "This is an order."
"Yes!"
----------segmentation----------
If we consider this decisive battle as a game, then the expeditionary force, which was maliciously targeted by the world's will, was probably already afflicted with a 50% reduction in intelligence and a 70% reduction in luck before the game even started. The direct result was that, despite having the resources to continue fighting, everyone from the commanders to the subordinates was single-mindedly focused on a head-on confrontation to decide the outcome.
In such a situation, unless the advantage is truly overwhelming, even a force several times larger than the enemy's cannot possibly achieve victory. However, it is quite clear that the expeditionary force does not have any advantage at all.
In theory, the expeditionary force has the resources of two worlds as its backing, but this is only in theory. Neither the transport limit of the portal nor the various conditions within those two worlds make it impossible to unconditionally and unlimitedly transport various resources to this strange world for "squandering".
However, under the interference of the world's will, the world has united in a rather unscientific way, and the balance of power between the two sides is overwhelmingly in favor of the allied forces... In this light, it seems that the expeditionary force's failure was already destined?
"These worlds are not places that ordinary people can easily enter."
After the malicious targeting had served its purpose, it dissipated. The chief of staff, who had regained his normal intelligence, realized his madness and abnormality just now. He wanted to salvage the situation, but the deteriorating situation ahead was beyond repair. He had no choice but to give up thinking and lean against the wall while listening to the approaching explosions behind him: "I would rather face a terrible opponent that is impossible to defeat."
"...Staff Officer Li, what do you plan to do if we don't die this time?"
In response to the commander's lifeless words, the chief of staff chuckled and said, "I just want to go back to my old home on Earth and never come to these godforsaken places again."
After rummaging around in his pocket for a while, the commander suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought any cigarettes with him to this world. He clicked his tongue and said, "Me too. If I survive this time, I don't plan to stay in the expeditionary force anymore... Wars on Earth are deadly, but here it's not just about life."
A self-deprecating laugh rang out, but was quickly replaced by silence.
"...We're almost there."
"Judging from the sound, they're almost here... giant humanoid weapons. I thought these things were just toys."
While wasting time with words they themselves didn't understand, they awaited the end. However, to their surprise, the explosion suddenly stopped when they were close enough to feel the tremors. Just as the chief of staff and the commander were looking at each other in bewilderment, a soldier suddenly burst in and shouted excitedly, "The Allied forces have retreated!"
The coalition forces did indeed retreat, because they had no choice but to.
What was initially thought to be a small group of individuals engaging in "resistance" quickly spread to the entire coalition front line within minutes, and they all exhibited the same symptoms.
"...fever, coma, nausea, and then the loss of reason to attack any moving object in front of you."
Upon arriving at the research lab, an outstanding scientist from the Chinese Federation walked over to the struggling "soldier," his expression turning grave as he lowered his voice and said, "I suspect they used a biochemical weapon. This weapon has an extremely strong infectious ability and can directly penetrate the Knightmare's cockpit to infect the pilots inside."
No further evidence is needed; the chaotic front lines are already the best proof, and even now, that kind of "weapon" continues to spread.
Is there a solution?
"It's very difficult. The complexity of this virus far exceeds our imagination. Even with the best facilities and experimental conditions, it would take a considerable amount of time to research and decipher it, and there's no guarantee that a solution will be found. Until then, it's best to minimize the number of infected people, as we can't guarantee what will happen to them."
As he said this, he looked with concern at the infected soldier who was confined to his hospital bed but was still struggling despite the damage to himself.
Five minutes later, Lin Yi, who was stranded on the summit of Mount Fuji, as expected, detected signs of a large number of life forms withdrawing from the ground beneath his feet. However, what they could never have imagined was the upheaval that what they were taking away from this land would bring to the world...
In a sense, this is indeed a war that will determine the future of the world, but it will no longer determine which person will dominate the future, but rather whether the future will be dominated by "humans".
In this "game," the expeditionary force from another world was subjected to a negative status effect that reduced their intelligence by 50% and their luck by 70%, causing them to collapse as soon as the "game" began. Lin Yi, who was not a "priest," was unable to help them dispel these negative status effects; all he could do was apply another "negative status effect" to the enemy.
It's just like……
He shed his own blood.
Soul Leap: Chapter 348 Akasha's Record
Some things are not impossible, they are just unnecessary.
As one of the earliest fields Lin Yi ventured into, and which had always been kept outside the "forbidden zone," the option of "virus" had never been lacking. However, after personally experiencing the consequences, Lin Yi had become accustomed to ignoring this option.
As a virus created specifically to target life forms, its existence itself certainly possesses immense destructive power. However, the Main God Space has never operated with destruction as its ultimate goal. If a vial of the virus were easily dropped into an unfamiliar world, many lives would be killed, but what would happen after they were killed?
In conclusion, destroying a planet's ecosystem cannot bring even a single unit of stored energy revenue to the God Space. Instead, it would directly waste a large amount of hidden resources on that planet. It is based on this consideration that Lin Yi rarely uses such a "weapon" even though he has it. As for why he made an exception this time, it can only be said that the world he is facing this time is just too disgusting.
Whether it's behind-the-scenes conspiracies or direct combat, Lin Yi has enough patience to wear it down. The problem is that the world's vitality tends towards pure mental interference.
No sentient being would like their mind to be interfered with by external forces, let alone something as disgusting as forcibly lowering one's intelligence. Given that his current state was indeed abnormal, after some consideration, Lin Yi still chose to use this method to resolve the world's subsequent problems.
Obviously, he succeeded.
The allied forces, which had retreated under the pretext of "poor battle conditions," immediately devoted themselves to the research of the virus. The only thing they did to deal with the infected people was to detain them in a hidden location without letting anyone know. However, just as the research was getting started, the virus, which originated from those infected people and actively adapted to the world, had already begun to break out after tens of thousands of complex evolutions.
In less than three months, a virus that originated from life, carried life, and ultimately aimed at life eroded and occupied the entire Earth's ecosystem. Humanity's civilization, built over thousands of years, collapsed and disappeared with ease. The once invincible World Alliance vanished without a trace in the face of this civilizational tragedy.
The expeditionary force was also affected by these terrible viruses. Witnessing the existence of these horrific viruses, the people quickly abandoned the world that had been taken over by the virus and made the decision to retreat back to the Imperial Arms world with the utmost efficiency. Only after confirming that they were not infected by the virus in that world could they return to Earth; otherwise, they would only face eternal "exile".
With the spread of this virus, capable of destroying a planet's ecosystem at any moment, as the end point, the origin world, constantly encountering unexpected situations, slowed down its invasion and "liberation" of the next world. For them, there were simply too many things to deal with, and too many questions that remained unanswered...
What exactly are Imperial Arms?
Where does their power come from?
Why is another world also called "Earth"?
Why are their histories so similar?
……
Coupled with the shock of the rampant virus and the exhaustion of the expeditionary force, the Origin World will be unable to take any further action for at least a considerable period of time.
Similarly, Lin Yi is unlikely to take any action for quite some time to come. However, his reason is not because he feels tired or worried about the virus spreading from his blood, but simply because of the increasingly strange feeling in his body.
"The interference caused by the 'anomaly' can currently be identified as including the failure of the 'root cause'."
Opening my eyes, all I see is pure nothingness, but from the outside, it appears as a red bird pattern projected into a swirling, obscure vortex that seems to spiral into an abyss.
In this state, Lin Yi could still sense the presence of the "Root" in his eyes, but he could no longer easily project the various magics recorded in the "Root" into reality as before.
"...the disorder of the spiritual energy system."
With a gentle flick of the fingertips, the sword blade floating behind him emitted a slight tremor, the high-frequency vibrations stirring the air—but that was all; trying to continue drawing in spiritual energy would only result in a massive explosion.
His brows furrowed slightly as he raised his right hand and placed it in front of him: "...The loss of control of the 'Spark'."
This time, no experiments were needed; the result was simply the fact that the room itself was made entirely of metal, and that a large area of "hollow iron blocks" had been formed.
"Is the only place that hasn't been disturbed the 'forbidden zone'...?"
Feeling the life-bound forbidden zone within her body, which had been completely frozen since that moment, the tiny hope she held in her heart—that she could take advantage of the disturbance and instability of the forbidden zone to repair the missing genes—was easily shattered.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi, whose situation had deteriorated to this extent, had to think again about what exactly was going on with this unusual "saturation".
The origin of this strange feeling has been confirmed to be the world will of the Geass world, which had been destroyed by the virus and subsequently fell into an indefinite "sleep". At that time, the world will used the ability of a Geass holder as a medium to complete the invasion of the "Root". However, because there was no follow-up reaction, it was once thought to have been resisted. But this strange "saturation" began to emerge soon afterward and became stronger and stronger over time.
The witch can't offer much help in this regard; at most, the existence of the "Akasha Records" in this world plays a minor role, but...
"The Akasha Records".
