[Gravity, radiation. 】
Following its horizontal trajectory, the city inside the barrier was cleaved in two. The buildings it hit along the way gradually collapsed under the pull of gravity. Just as Lin Yi was trying his best to avoid this familiar gravitational particle radiation, the "God" reappeared in front of him.
[Increase in Growth Rate, Three Stages]
"—!"
"Thump—!!!"
[Impact]
In an instant, he completely lost control of the body. Only the constant flow of external information clearly conveyed the reality of its "damage". When he finally regained control of the body, the area he was in had changed from above the city to the sunken center of a sewer.
"Ahem... So you chose the mechanical intelligence stage over the magical origin?"
Even so, there is no time to use the limitations of "intelligent conservation" to set traps under such circumstances. Rather, this straightforward and violent machine is more suitable for direct combat than the Root Magic, which is known for its bizarre nature.
"However, how long can you sustain yourself with this meager 'recognition power' as your energy source?"
The red and green light formed a distorted concept, twisting and shattering all the metal obstacles in its path before projecting it towards the "main god," who was already covered in layers of metal.

Special disaster headquarters.
[District 13 is severely damaged; requesting new power supply for repairs!]
[District 9 has collapsed; it's beyond repair]
[28th Ward Normal - They're here!]
……
The constant warnings in the monitoring room made Kikuchi Hara wonder if the joy of success she had felt just minutes before was an illusion.
For this "God usurpation plan," the entire Japanese government has mobilized all available resources to this place. However, even so, the energy that could theoretically support hundreds of "Holy Grail Wars" of the same scale was running out of energy within minutes of the start of the battle, with the most critical part used to maintain the barrier nearly exhausted.
It's conceivable that if the "barrier" serving as the battlefield were to collapse, the internal fighting would inevitably spill over into the external reality—
Kikuchi, who couldn't even imagine what that scene would look like, immediately shouted, "Activate the emergency energy reserves immediately! If that's not enough, draw power from the city's regular power supply. The barrier must be kept stable until the 'plan' is completely successful!"

[Three stages of growth, squeeze]
The fists, completely invisible to the naked eye, tore through the magical barrier as if piercing through gauze. But even though they were fragile, the sheer number of hundreds of them still had some effect.
When the kinetic energy generated by the mechanical structure hit the ground, Lin Yi, who had projected a magical artifact, had already completed his preparations.
The azure pupils reflected the faint "death lines" on the body before them, which was identical to their own. They cut along those constantly moving lines and then quickly detached themselves.
The "God" who had fallen underground after missing his target fell silent for a long time.
Damage rate 17.2%, tactical simulation failed, search for new tactics...
[Database incomplete, search failed]
[Combination-based tactical selection... Selection complete.]
With a slight frown, Lin Yi quickly retreated a distance, and after realizing that the "network" underground was not slowing down at all, he simply stayed in the sky.
Looking down from above again, one can clearly see how that ring of "energy veins" took shape under the "God's" hands, quickly occupied the entire city, and continued to spread to the edges—
At the same time, an unprecedentedly piercing alarm sounded in the monitoring room of the Special Disaster Headquarters, which then fell into darkness and silence as if it had suddenly lost all its energy.
Not only that, but even the real world, which was originally isolated from the inner side of the "barrier," was affected. The massive energy network devoured all energy indiscriminately, and when the total amount was insufficient, it followed the power grid built by humans to seize energy from nearby cities. This process repeated itself, and in less than half a minute, the lights on most of the Japanese island went out completely.
Above, Lin Yi, who had already realized what the "main god" was doing, no longer hesitated.
“That’s right, that’s how it should be… This isn’t ‘my’ story, it’s ‘our’ story.”
He raised his right hand toward the dark night sky, and beneath his blurred outline, crimson moonlight spilled onto the ground.
"Look up at the heavens, humanity. Destruction will come in the way you have prayed for; at that time, death will be the only equality you can obtain."
Above the rotating "root," the scarlet moon slowly descends.
"—Moonset!"

Looking down at the planet from space, one can clearly see the neon-lit "island" suddenly dim, replaced by another beam of light that surpasses all known intensity.
At the very top of that beam of "light," the outline of half a crimson moon, having broken free from the barrier's constraints and projected into reality, slowly descended...

Japan, Tokyo.
Mashiro Moritaka, staring intently at the screen, unconsciously clenched his hands, unsure whether he was nervous about which of the two identical "characters" he was facing. Just as the final blow that was about to decide the outcome was about to erupt, the calm before his eyes suddenly flickered and fell into darkness.
"Eh?"
Not just on the computer screen, Mashiro Moritaka, looking out the window, witnessed the entire city plunging into darkness.
"What's going on? A power outage?"
China, Haicheng.
The dramatic plot twists and turns in the scene captivated Xu Feng, who couldn't help but frantically upload nonsensical bullet comments to vent his emotions. Just as the story reached its climax—
Network connection interrupted.
"Fuck!"
The barrage of comments on the black screen was interrupted for a moment, and then quickly filled with a large number of comments.
【what happened? 】
Where's the network administrator?! Get out here right now!
Why did it suddenly stop?
I thought I was the only one like this.
【My 'Moonfall'^Your 8%.5LinD Guilt Mixed with Liujiu, my 'Gaia Energy Cannon' ah】
Who said it was called a high-pressure energy cannon...?
[Isn't absorbing the earth's energy just Gaia's energy cannon?]
[This seems to make sense; I'm actually convinced.]
[Idiot, it's clearly absorbing electrical energy, okay?]
[Isn't the main point the internet outage?!]
[Please fix it quickly!!!]
……
After expressing his anxiety and anger with three exclamation marks, Xu Feng stubbornly searched for resources on other websites that were broadcasting simultaneously, but soon discovered an anomaly.
[Urgent Notice: All video websites have currently suspended their connections to Japanese servers!]
What's going on? Is this the start of World War III?
[The Destruction of Area 11]
[If you're going to destroy it, wait until I finish watching Re:Final Grail War first.]
You're not alone upstairs.
Does anyone have the latest episode? I'm begging you!
[Ten Thousand Ton Copper Ball]
Why was it interrupted now?
Could it be that the bill is overdue?
[Arrears: 233]
For some reason, I suddenly have a bad feeling...
……
Looking at the various comments that surfaced online due to the signal outage in Japan, Xu Feng felt a sense of foreboding.
Soon, this premonition was corroborated by new evidence.
[Holy crap! What is this?! ...
Behind that exaggerated tone was a photo with impressive resolution.
[Teacher Rao teaches you how to take screenshots]
[Is the person upstairs using a Nokia 5230?]
Even basic feature phones have better resolution than this.
……
Just as the conversation was about to be led astray, another photo appeared before everyone.
The visuals are not complicated; in fact, they are quite simple.
Against a pitch-black backdrop, a beam of brilliant light rises and a crimson full moon slowly sinks.
Has the network been restored?
[Where did you take this screenshot? Please provide the URL.]
Didn't you see the logo next to it? Google.
Wait, is this Google Maps?
[A collaboration? Or an Easter egg?]
Only a fool would use map software to collaborate with anime.
……
Amidst the nonsensical discussion, an uneasy atmosphere began to spread until the release of the third piece of information.
Open Google Maps, turn the resolution to the lowest setting, and point it at mainland Japan!!!
His hand trembled involuntarily, and Xu Feng unconsciously clicked on the link below. He swallowed hard, then slowly zoomed in on the western side of the Pacific Ocean—
"...Holy crap..."
Under the deep darkness that covers the entire Eastern Hemisphere, the pitch-black Japan stands in stark contrast to the brightly lit neighboring North Korea and China. But it is precisely this striking contrast that makes it easy to spot the two remaining "light sources" above.
Did I drink fake alcohol?
As if suddenly remembering something, Xu Feng snapped open the window and looked out at the eastern night sky.
Located in a coastal area, with buildings hundreds of meters high, after crossing most of the ocean, one can only vaguely catch a glimpse of the faint light. The legs give way and one collapses to the ground, gazing up at the two "light sources" slowly approaching at the end of the sky, speechless.
Inside the room, the chat in the live stream changed from gloating to panic.
[Hey, is this a new April Fool's joke? Today isn't April 1st.]
[Anime, here I come!]
Is this still the time for jokes?
