Chapter 245 The Mystery of the Mark, Mastering the Rules
Having deciphered the secret of the incomplete map, Su Chen was still deeply shocked.
The combination of words like "galaxy-scale super array," "purification," "reboot," and "seeding" sent a chill down his spine.
The power and madness of ancient Earth civilizations far exceeded his expectations.
However, as shocking as it may be, there is a more practical problem that needs to be solved right now.
"The Reaper's Mark".
Although he successfully absorbed the mark, the act itself was like lighting a torch in the darkness.
The leader of the Star Devouring Cult, the "Reaper" standing at the top of the pyramid, must have already sensed the existence of this "anomaly".
This is like a fisherman discovering that one of his fishing lines has broken and the fish has swallowed the hook.
Although he didn't know exactly where the fish was, he would always pay extra attention to the "big fish" that might bite through the fishing line whenever he cast his net again.
Su Chen is now the "big fish" that the fisherman has his eye on.
"I need a way to block this kind of 'law-level' tracking."
Su Chen said to the prophet, "Or, why not simply transform yourself from a 'big fish' back into an ordinary-looking 'small fish'?"
This is a huge challenge.
This tracking is not based on energy signals or spatial coordinates, but on a more fundamental "law sensing".
Just as a magnet can always find iron, this is a near-unsolvable lock.
"Request authorization from the authorized party to invoke the 'Will Kingdom' to perform deep reverse engineering on the remnants of the 'Reaper's Mark' that have already been devoured," the prophet suggested.
"The mark I swallowed is like a virus sample. As long as its structure can be thoroughly analyzed, corresponding 'antivirus software' and 'firewall' can be developed."
Su Chen instantly understood the prophet's meaning.
"Authorization!"
Upon receiving the order, the prophet immediately mobilized his immense computing power to begin the most thorough reverse analysis of the fragments of imprint energy that had already been decomposed and absorbed within Su Chen's "Will Kingdom".
This time, with the enhanced "deception" and "disguise" modules, the whole process became exceptionally smooth.
The prophet no longer simply analyzes its energy structure, but imitates and forges it from the level of "behavioral logic".
"Reverse engineering completion rate 30%... The latent state signal of the 'imprint' has been successfully simulated."
"Reverse engineering is 60% complete... We have successfully developed a 'law signal shielding layer' that can effectively block more than 95% of detections of laws of the same origin."
"Reverse engineering complete 100%... Authorized reporter has achieved a major breakthrough!"
The prophet's voice carried a rare hint of excitement.
"What breakthrough?" Su Chen also became interested.
"We can not only shield and isolate detection, we... can manufacture it now."
"Manufacture?" Su Chen was stunned. "Manufacture the 'Reaper's Mark'?"
"To be precise, it is about creating a 'fake' 'Mark of the Reaper,'" the prophet explained.
"This fake mark has no function of enslavement or control, but the 'signal characteristics' it emits at the level of laws are exactly the same as the real mark!"
"In fact, because its core function of enslavement has been removed, it is even more covert and harder to detect!"
Su Chen's eyes lit up instantly.
He immediately realized how terrifying this feature was.
"You mean, I can secretly implant this fake mark on someone else without anyone knowing?"
"Theoretically, it's entirely feasible," the prophet replied confidently. "Once planted, in the Star Eater Cult's perception, that person will become an 'activated' mark carrier. A perfect 'scapegoat'."
"Haha...hahahaha!"
Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.
This is like having a pillow delivered to your head when you're about to fall asleep!
He was just worrying about how to completely divert the attention of the Star Eater Cult from himself when the Prophet delivered such a powerful weapon to him!
He has transformed from a passive "prey" trying to evade pursuit into a behind-the-scenes manipulator who can arbitrarily designate "new prey"!
And the best "scapegoat" candidate is obvious.
"Shadow..."
In Su Chen's mind, the image of the "original owner's" aggrieved and angry face appeared.
"Brother, didn't you want the fragments of the Genesis Ark map? Didn't you hate the Star Devouring Cult to the core?"
"Now, the opportunity has come."
"I'm giving you a 'pledge of allegiance,' so that you'll have an 'intimate encounter' with the Star Devouring Cult that will last for eternity."
Su Chen could imagine that scene.
When the "Reaper" leader of the Star Eater Cult suddenly discovered that the "anomaly" that should have been erased by his subordinates had disappeared.
Instead, a new "marker" appeared near the Shadow Realm, whose signal was weak but whose existence was undeniable...
And this person carrying the weapon happened to be the "Shadow" who had fought with them on the spot and whom they considered a "traitor".
The entire chain of evidence is perfectly closed!
At that time, the Star Eater Cult will definitely go crazy and use all its power to hunt down this traitor who "stole" their mark and killed their elder (although he wasn't quite dead).
He himself could then remain completely hidden behind the scenes, peacefully searching for the next fragment of the map.
With a thought, Su Chen saw a fake mark, shimmering with a faint blood-red light and looking exactly like the real "Reaper's Mark," slowly taking shape within his divine realm of will.
He looked at the small mark, which contained endless trouble, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Next, we need to figure out how to deliver this 'gift' to our 'original owner' friend quietly."
