Chapter 100: Saint Tyrant (2)
If Bai Yan recalls correctly, she seldom utilized the absolute power of controlling the network for personal gain, and each time she employed “Tyrant” before joining Babel Tower, it was to assist the poor and ill of the Night Union.
One of the scenarios he had previously contemplated was the possibility of “logging in after leaving overnight only to suddenly discover that Core Operator had perished,” triggered by “Cybertyrant.”
She revealed her location to thwart Noy’s plan to destroy the district and was subsequently brutally slain.
Though “Cybertyrant” could easily erase traces on the internet, it proved impossible to effectively defend against the pursuit of extraordinary powers.
“I didn’t feel much before, but now that I know there really is someone like you, Cybertyrant, I look forward to meeting you at Babel Tower.”
The task commenced swiftly.
The format of this introductory task was a small game… entirely different from the previous ones.
Bai Yan studied the pale blue maze on his phone screen, as well as the virtual image of “Cybertyrant” at the maze’s entrance, deep in thought.
Four small impish creatures with distinct colors patrolled within the pale blue labyrinth, where yellow lights gleamed along the path.
To complete the mission, he needed to guide “Cybertyrant” to collect all the light spots without being touched by the small monsters.
“Well, this is actually quite entertaining,” Bai Yan murmured to himself.
It’s Pac-Man!

Amy abruptly found herself immobilized.
Her sapphire-like left eye could still move slightly, and certain muscles in her body could twitch minimally, but she couldn’t perform any significant movements like turning her head.
What’s happening?
The aged neon lights outside the window continued to flicker ceaselessly, and the dreary rain persisted without pause.
Darkness had always enshrouded the people of this layer.
Amy’s feelings were unsettled, with a sensation of existence being worse than death.
Although she couldn’t move freely after losing her limbs, she could at least console herself that her soul remained unconfined.
But the present situation terrified Amy.
What could it be?
Could my chip have been invaded? Amy immediately considered this possibility, but when she attempted to use her hidden power to break the control, she found it impossible!
This confirmed it wasn’t a network or hacker issue; she was certain of that.
Whether it be the Night Union’s most renowned hacker group “Black Crow Association” or the legendary top hackers “Destroyer,” “Wanderer”…
In the realm of internet competition.
No one in the world could match her abilities.
Throughout, Amy had avoided provoking those terrifying beings and behemoths, concealing her true strength, only utilizing basic hacking techniques to earn money.
However, in reality, one year prior, she had awakened an extraordinary power that could freely manipulate the internet.
Indeed.
Amy’s consciousness in the network was akin to a tyrant, capable of issuing commands at will and demanding the network’s compliance.
This transcended mere hacking technology—it was genuine extraordinary power!
Nevertheless, Amy remained content with her current life. As long as she and her brother could survive, even without wealth, it was sufficient.
Thus, she had never engaged in illegal activities, nor had she informed her brother about this power.
Because Amy understood Ryan and knew he couldn’t resist temptation and failed to comprehend the massive risks involved.
She possessed self-awareness and fully recognized that having the power to control the internet in this world didn’t grant her unlimited freedom.
There existed too many incomprehensible, terrifying entities…
For instance, it appeared she had already drawn the attention of an unfathomable presence!
Resistance proved entirely futile.
Amy’s heart descended into despair.
She could only silently plead one thing in her mind.
I beseech you, do with me as you wish, but spare innocent lives from my power. If you agree, I will serve you willingly.
Amy wasn’t certain if her thoughts had been perceived, but she hoped they would have some effect.
Suddenly, the young woman spoke.
“I am the raging wave, unstoppable by force.”
Why did I speak unexpectedly? Was I controlled? Amy was momentarily bewildered.
So, the one controlling me is called “Raging Wave”?
For now, I don’t comprehend it, but I must remember this information.
Even in a completely passive state, Amy maintained relative composure.
The next instant, her artificial eye emitted a crimson light.
The computer screen before her illuminated immediately. Shortly after, Amy’s consciousness departed the physical world.
She entered “cyberspace.”
This was a blue illusory realm composed of countless 0s and 1s, where Amy possessed not only a “whole body” but also powers beyond reason.
She had originally enjoyed absolute freedom in this virtual world.
But now, Amy discovered she couldn’t even control her virtual self.
What did her controller intend to accomplish?
She felt somewhat lost.
Suddenly, under Amy’s control, she issued a command and cyberspace promptly responded.
[Access the network center of Rock Morgan Building.]
[Retrieve the core confidential documents of ‘Phantom REC’ chip.]
Wait, are we actually going to challenge the Rock Morgan Group?
They are this city’s true owners! Everyone must pay them for the right to exist! They are the genuine earthly gods!
In Amy’s heart, tremendous fear arose.
Could it be that the one controlling her was another equally dreadful entity?
