Chapter 992 - 992 911 The Flaw in the Pyramid

Chapter 992: Chapter 911: The Flaw in the Pyramid Chapter 992: Chapter 911: The Flaw in the Pyramid In war mode.

Ed Louis and the pyramid were fully integrated, without any vulnerabilities to exploit.

No matter how Han Dong tried to infiltrate, he would be detected immediately.

Since there was no need to hide.

Han Dong then entrusted the undead, who were bound to the cart, to exert all their strength to push it… The seemingly ordinary “Corpse Cart” directly reached the speed of a top-level supercar, charging straight for the pyramid.

During the war.

The pyramid was in a state of complete closure.

Lying in a body bag, Han Dong had no intention of secretly infiltrating.

For his hardness had been verified during his time as a probationary priest.

Staring at the stone door in front of him, Han Dong conveyed his consciousness to the undead pushing the cart… These undead were quite obedient, taking Han Dong’s orders as if they were commands from their mistress.

“Charge!”

Maximized undead driving, the “Corpse Cart” collided with the stone door at the eastern entrance of the pyramid.

Boom!

At the cost of a bent guard plate and a broken wheel, the impregnable eastern gate of the pyramid was shattered.

There was no time for the Pharaoh in the Eye of God Room at the top of the pyramid to react.

ZZZ~~ (the sound of a zipper opening)

The body bag laid on the surface of the cart was fully opened.

Out from it emerged not Han Dong or Miss Jane, but… the entire mummy army from the Great Tomb Area.

It had been twenty hours since they had gnawed on the Mother White Meat in the Black Pillar Prison.

During this time, they had been resting inside Maritzis’ ‘Toad Belly,’ absorbing and digesting the Mother White Meat, with newly grown white flesh sprouting between their bones.

It was as if they were undead from some game that had been forcibly patched with flesh growth.

It wasn’t just a change in appearance.

More importantly, these mummies had activated their powers by consuming the Mother White Meat, each mastering a supernatural ability that matched their own.

Before the battle.

Han Dong had told Meat that the so-called “Black Pyramid” also had its flaws.

This was the conclusion Han Dong drew as a probationary priest, after reviewing the pyramid’s construction history, personnel planning in the pyramid library, and discussing with the original Chief engineer of the Capital City—Heize Zeppelin.

A “biological building” like the pyramid that the Pharaoh could freely control, as opposed to the fixed buildings of Han Dong’s world, offered many advantages such as controllability, variability, upgradability, and expandability.

Similarly.

Such a biological building also faced a technological issue – “load.”

Although it wasn’t explicitly written in books.

But through the pyramid’s restrictions on internal workers, the population control of the priest group, and Chief Engineer Heize’s understanding of biological buildings, Han Dong was able to infer a vulnerability of the pyramid… even a flaw inherent in all biological buildings.

“Population Load.”

It even required a part of the energy to be provided in real-time to support the “population.”

Once the “population” exceeded the limit,

Either the pyramid had to tap into more energy to sustain it,

Or the pyramid’s ‘activity’ would be impacted, becoming as inactive as an inert object, unable to change freely.

Now, with the invasion war fully underway, due to Ed being attacked by Other Derry Town’s dark invasion, he had chosen to create the “Glory Waterfall” with 60% of the core energy.

The pyramid’s own operation required another 20% of the energy.

There wasn’t much energy left to spare.

As long as the “population” inside the pyramid exceeded the limit, there would surely be a substantial decline in its activity, causing it to lose its capacity for free control… This was the “Breakthrough” Han Dong had found.

…

Ya yi~! Kakaka~

The horrific cries of the mummies echoed through the lowest level of the pyramid.

Countless mummy armies used Maritzis’s “Toad Belly” as a carrying space.

The moment the Corpse Cart shattered the pyramid’s stone door, they were all released, not giving the Pharaoh any chance to control.

Covered in Mother White Meat and spreading like a tide, the mummies immediately proliferated throughout the bottom level of the pyramid.

In an instant.

The “human loading” of the pyramid reached 500%, and the staff and managers in the load monitoring room stared at the swarm of mummies cramming the bottom level, shocked and dumbfounded for over ten seconds.

“Quickly notify the Pharaoh, close all the pathways to the upper levels… disaster has come!”

…

The impact force of the Corpse Cart was no joke.

It was a collision delivered with over a thousand undead souls.

The intense vibration from the impact traveled directly to the top level of the pyramid.

Sitting on his throne, Ed, through the mass of cables on his back, attempted to control the pyramid and seal off all the passages to the eastern entrance.

However, while trying to execute these controls, he felt an unusually strong resistance.

Walls and floors that were usually easy to move now moved sluggishly, and even Ed felt it strenuous.

Nevertheless.

As Ed observed the bottom levels through the “Eye of Horus,” he smashed the gold inlay on his throne to smithereens with a slap.

At the same time, a transmission from the load monitoring room arrived:

“Pharaoh, the current human loading has reached ‘500%’.

It has far exceeded the theoretical load, and such severe overloading will make it impossible for you to control the pyramid, and the basic structure will be destroyed under the high population density.

We request the activation of 50% of our power to provide temporary support for the load.”

“No!”

Of course, it was not possible.

Once 50% of the energy was used, the Glory Waterfall would have to be removed.

This would allow the darkness of Derry Town to leak in, and the townspeople would no longer be restrained, becoming even more fierce.

The situation on the battlefield might tilt.

“I will immediately seal the passages from the bottom to the upper levels and then dispatch all the priest units and the Guard Army to clear out the Mummy Army.

You continue to monitor and report the human loading situation to me at any moment.”

“Yes.”

Ed Louis suppressed the rage within him as best as he could, “Nicholas… what a clever move! Not only did you use these mummies to break through the Great Tomb Area’s barrier but also to find the flaws of the pyramid.”

Just then, a voice arrived:

“Manager Ed, we request to join the team clearing out the mummies… Perhaps, Nicholas is among them.”

The request came from Tesla.

The “Particle Radiation” squad hadn’t returned after settling scores; they had joined the Pharaoh’s camp to take part in this Node War… after all, the Pharaoh was originally an engineer from the Capital City.

Ed Louis looked at Tesla earnestly and said:

“Yes! You will operate together with High Priest Seville and quickly eradicate the Mummy Army.

Moreover… if you encounter Nicholas, you need to report to me first before taking any action.

‘Prometheus’ is just a real Node, and while it is precious, its true value cannot compare to the four of you.

You may someday become powerful engineer leaders who lead humanity and reclaim our territory.

The ‘Node War’ is my private affair; you are not allowed to encounter any life-threatening danger during this war.”

“Alright!

Once we encounter Nicholas, we will report to you immediately.”

Ed continued to caution: “Do not regard this person as a ‘Second Order Knight’ or ‘Equal Participant.’ Should you actually meet Nicholas, treat him as an enemy on the same level as me.

Always be cautious!”
