Era Of Metaverse

After the Second Universe Cosmic War, humanity had to face a harsh reality. The destruction caused by the war had left Earth in ruins, and the survivors were struggling to rebuild their lives. However, in the midst of the chaos and despair, a glimmer of hope emerged. A team of scientists had made a groundbreaking discovery that would change the course of human history.

Through years of research, they had finally found a way to enter the Metaverse - a parallel universe that existed alongside our own. Using advanced technology and harnessing the power of the human mind, they could construct digital twins of themselves in the Metaverse. But this was only the beginning.

Within the Metaverse, there was a powerful force known as Cosmic Qi. By absorbing this energy, the digital twins could enhance their physical abilities and bring back that power to their real selves in the real world. With this newfound power, they could rebuild their shattered planet and even conquer the Metaverse, claiming its valuable resources for humanity.

As the news of this discovery spread, people began to dream of a brighter future. A future where they could escape the hardships of their current world and enter a new dimension filled with limitless possibilities. The Metaverse was now within reach, and humanity was ready to embrace this new era with open arms.

But little did they know that the Metaverse was not without its dangers. With great power came great risks, and the digital twins were not invincible. They could still be harmed and even killed within the Metaverse, which meant the same fate awaited their real selves in the real world. It was a gamble, but one that humanity was willing to take.

Since then, the world has officially entered the era of metaverse...

....

200years later...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The frantic voice of the lookout echoed through the command center of the Metaverse Defense Corps, causing everyone to snap to attention.

The ten human warriors seventh-grade Legend, quickly gathered around their leader, Captain Daniel. "What's the situation?" Daniel asked, his eyes scanning the tactical map displayed on the holoscreen.

"We've detected a large fleet from four-dimensional universe entering the Metaverse," the intelligence officer reported. "They're targeting several key strategic locations, including the energy reserves on Sector 8 and the research facility on Sector 12."

"Shit! Chrono Guardians again, We can't let them take those sites," Daniel declared. "Legends, prepare for immediate deployment. We're going to intercept the enemy fleet and protect our allies."

The Legends nodded in agreement, their expressions steely and determined. As they made their way to their ships, they discussed their battle strategies.

"We need to stay in formation and focus on taking out their carriers," Noah said. "Without their ships, the enemy will be powerless."

"I'll take the lead and draw their fire," Ethan said. "The rest of you focus on taking out the fighters."

Jacob chimed in, "And don't forget about their ground troops. They'll be landing soon, and we can't let them gain a foothold."

As they entered the fray, the Legends found themselves in a fierce battle against the Chrono Guardians. Laser fire and energy blasts crisscrossed the battlefield, explosions rocking the space around them. But the Legends were determined to protect the Metaverse at all costs.

As they fought, one of the Chrono Guardians ships broke away from the main fleet and hailed the Legends. "Surrender now, and we'll spare your lives," a mechanical voice demanded.

"We will never surrender to invaders," Daniel replied defiantly. "The Legends will protect the Metaverse to the last breath."

The enemy ship responded with a barrage of energy blasts, but the Legends dodged and weaved through the fire. They launched counterattacks, their weapons scoring hits on the enemy's hull.

"You cannot defeat us," the mechanical voice said. "Our power is far superior to yours. Surrender now, and we'll allow you to live."

"We don't need your mercy," Noah shot back. "The Legends will fight until our dying breath to protect our home!"...

==========

"Classmates, three days ago, the Four-dimensional Universe Chrono Guardians invaded Metaverse with a strong force. Ten human 7th Grade Legends from the three-dimensional universe legion fought back and successfully repelled their attack, but suffered heavy losses with two dead and eight injured. One day ago, scouts discovered that the five-dimensional universe Space Clan Army is also approaching Metaverse! The third Universal Cosmic War could break out at any moment!"

Diamond Valley First School, high school senior class 5, Metaverse year 202.

A female teacher with short ear-length hair and a petite figure spoke with a sharp and mournful tone.

Outside the classroom, the cicadas were noisy, but inside the classroom, rows of students looked solemn.

The female teacher's gaze was as sharp as a knife, slowly sweeping across the faces of the students below the podium, and said word by word, "Classmates, time is of the essence. You must expand your brain domain every second and fight for every moment! The higher your brain development degree, the stronger your spiritual power. Only by entering Metaverse for spiritual and martial fusion after one month can you stay longer, absorb more elemental spirits, achieve the leap of life force, and be admitted to Divine.Jacob Academy! Become stronger, become stronger, only the strong can survive in the third Universal Cosmic War!"

Become stronger!

Become stronger!

The third Universal Cosmic War is about to break out, and the three-dimensional universe is in danger. Only by becoming stronger can you survive!

In the last row of the classroom, Ryan looked up at the female teacher, his five fingers tightly clenched, and his voice roared continuously in his heart.

"Become stronger? I want to be strong, but unfortunately, strength doesn't want me..." At this moment, James, his desk mate, made a sarcastic comment and bumped Ryan's arm with his elbow, whispering, "Ryan, are you still going to the meditation room tonight?"

"No money, so I won't go..." Ryan shook his head and whispered.

"Ryan, James, why aren't you paying attention in class and muttering to each other?!" Ava Lee had excellent hearing and overheard their conversation. She frowned and coldly rebuked them, "Ryan, do you think you can still get into Divine.Jacob Academy with just you?!"

"I won't give up. My goal is still Divine.Jacob Academy!" Ryan heard this and furrowed his brows, his gaze firm and frank.

"Divine.Jacob Academy, just you? Hahaha, if you can get in, I'll write Ava Lee's name backwards!" Ava Lee sneered, watching Ryan shake his head and leave the classroom with his textbook.

"Hahaha..."

As Ava Lee's words fell, the tense atmosphere in the classroom suddenly relaxed, and laughter erupted. Sarcastic glances fell on Ryan.

Divine.Jacob Academy, the strongest spiritual and martial academy where the most talented youth in the Metaverse era gathered!

If it were three years ago, saying this would have been admirable, and people would have thought he had a chance.

After all, when Ryan entered high school, the brainwave detector detected that his brain development degree reached 10%, and the whole school had high hopes for him, believing that he would definitely be recruited by Divine.Jacob Academy!

But now? Haha, that's a joke!

In three years of high school, Ryan's brain seemed to have crashed. After three years of meditation and hard work, his brain development degree was still stuck at 10%.

The school had done many tests on him, but found no abnormalities. They could only think that his brain development was earlier than normal people, then returned to being an ordinary person.

The former genius became a loser, and was often used as a negative example by their homeroom teacher, Ava Lee, and ridiculed by classmates.

"It's still a month away, there's still hope."

Ignoring the sneers and ridicule, Ryan cheered himself up with a firm gaze.

"Hope? Ha, hope of being a bricklayer?" But at this moment, a muscular youth wearing a white T-shirt stood up, coldly looking at Ryan and sneered, "Ryan, give up the illusion and accept the fact that you're a loser!"

David!

The current number one student in Diamond Valley First School, with a brain development degree of 11.8% and an elite qualification rating. If he can break through the 12% barrier this month and reach the level of a genius, and perform even better during the spiritual and martial fusion in Metaverse, he will have a good chance of being admitted to Divine.Jacob Academy!

"David, did you forget that it was you who was crying and begging for mercy yesterday in the combat room, with your snot and tears flowing while I was stepping on you?"

Ryan looked at David coldly and sneered.

Although his brain development degree could not be improved temporarily, his meditation speed and combat class were still the best!

As for why his brain development degree could not improve, it was not because of any malfunction or early development, but due to another hidden reason...

"Hmph! Now strength in battle is useless. After entering Metaverse, absorbing elemental spirits, fusing spiritual and martial arts, and achieving a leap in physical life force, I can instantly surpass you! Then we'll see who's crying and begging for mercy!" David's eyes twitched, and he coldly snorted with arrogance and ferocity on his face.

"Waste is waste. Why pretend to be something you're not? It's destined to be a waste of resources. Just give up early!"

"Being in the same class as him is really unlucky. Going out always gets pointed at and said to be in the same class as a loser. He's really disgracing our high school class 5!"

As David finished speaking, many students in the classroom looked at Ryan with disdain and laughed.

"Ryan, don't listen to these trash who only know how to climb up and step on others. Don't give up! I believe in you!" James sighed and patted Ryan's shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Divine.Jacob said that indomitable spirit is in the fire. As long as there is a breath, I will not stop my efforts!" Ryan nodded and smiled calmly, and when he said "indomitable spirit in the fire," his tone unintentionally became heavier. He then took James' shoulder and said, "Let's go home!"

In three years of high school, from being a loser to a genius, he had seen the coldness of human nature and the harsh reality of the world, but he also made James, a good friend who stuck with him through thick and thin.

"Bullshit indomitable spirit. A small flame can turn this waste into ashes. Why pretend to be indomitable?"

"Hahaha, everyone else has gone from genius to loser, so he has to find some excuses for himself."

As Ryan and James walked away, the ridicule in the classroom continued. The words of ridicule and contempt were like thorns, ruthlessly piercing Ryan's heart, causing him to furrow his brows and clench his fists, but his back remained straight and his footsteps firm.

A solitary tiger walks alone, while a herd of cattle and sheep follow!

The world may criticize and slander me, but in the future, I will slap them across the face!

...

Ryan and James had just walked to the school gate when the sky, which had been bright, suddenly turned pitch black as if a storm was approaching.

"It's going to rain? What's..."

Ryan looked up and saw a kite-like object about ten meters long and wide, but with no thickness, gliding over Diamond Valley First School with the wind, blocking out the sky.

On the "kite" was a detailed drawing of a giant ant with dark red bristles all over its body and a huge mouthpart flashing with a faint blue light.

The detailed rendering of this giant ant was even better than that of a hyper-realistic oil painting, and even exuded a cold murderous intent.

"No, this isn't a kite! Damn it, it's the two-dimensional universe's giant ant tribe!" Ryan saw the faint blue light on the giant ant's mouthparts and his eyes twitched. He instantly figured out the true identity of the "kite" and shouted loudly to the students in the corridor who were looking up at the sky in confusion,

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Two-dimensional giant ants are attacking! All students, quickly return to the classroom!"

During the biology class, it was said that two-dimensional universe creatures are flattened and do not have height, only length and width. The most ferocious and vicious among them is the Giant Ant Clan, with the innate skill of

[2.D. Foil Strike]!

When a 2.D. creature comes into contact with a three-dimensional creature, it can force the three-dimensional matter to collapse into the two-dimensional plane, "melting" into an absolute plane without height but only length and width.

"Enemy attack! A mid-level second-grade two-dimensional giant ant has escaped from the Diamond Valley Research Institute's dimensional cage!"

"All students, return to the classroom and activate the dimensional block!"

At the same time, there were also anxious shouts over the campus broadcast.

"Diamond Valley First School! This is it!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! I will kill all of you 3D dogs and your hopes!"

However, at this moment, the 2D giant ant on the screen suddenly shouted, and its mouthparts, which were flashing with a blue light, violently collided, and a thin and transparent light screen flew out swiftly!

And when the light screen fell on the playground, every fleeing student and every green plant in the flower bed turned into a flat two-dimensional image with no thickness, only length and width, and scattered on the ground.

Skin is paper, shattered bones, organs, and veins become paintings!

The veins of different parts of the body are clearly visible in the paper, but life has been wiped out at this moment...

"Quick, back to the classroom!"

Ryan did not hesitate and pulled James towards the classroom.

The classroom had a dimensional blockade, which could resist the innate skills of many multi-dimensional creatures such as 2.D. Foil Strike, and even 4th Grade Elites could not break through once the door was closed.

"Bang!"

But before Ryan and James could turn around, they heard the sound of the classroom door closing with a bang.

Ryan turned his head and saw David standing behind the transparent amorphous alloy door, holding his arms in front of his chest, looking at him and James with mocking and indifferent eyes, and pressing the dimensional blockade's startup button.

"Hum!"

With a buzzing sound, the blue dimensional blockade opened and enveloped the classroom, as if it had suddenly become independent from this space, with interwoven dimensional changes that could not be locked.

"David, open the door!"

Ryan was angry, and he swung a heavy punch, but the door didn't budge.

Even 4th Grade experts could not break through the dimensional blockade, let alone him.

"Stop struggling, trash, and accept your fate as a consumable!"

David looked at Ryan and James with a sneer and a cold look in his eyes.

He could not forget being beaten down by Ryan during combat class.

Although he was a trash, he had been trampled underfoot by this genius, and he couldn't take it anymore!

He didn't have the chance before!

Now that he had the chance, he would let this trash die as a consumable!
