Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

She must stall him, stall until Silienna arrives, and then she’ll be saved!

But the question is, how to stall him?

Ye Bai initially thought of using her psychic energy to ‘intimidate’ him, but she quickly realized she couldn’t do it. In the midst of battle, she discovered that a psychic entity in combat mode and in non-combat mode were two entirely different states.

The opponent’s psychic energy was like an ever-expanding solid balloon, actively releasing a peculiar force field that pressed against her own psychic entity.

In comparison, Ye Bai’s psychic entity was exceptionally nimble, almost ghost-like, and might have had a frightening effect. But now, perhaps due to the vast difference in their levels, she couldn’t even transform her psychic energy into the ‘needle’ that could pop the balloon.

“A two-level force field suppression, and your psychic entity can still move? How about this?”

As the opponent spoke, that spine-chilling sensation washed over her again. Ye Bai ‘saw’ the opponent’s psychic entity transform once more into that eerie eyeball form, but this time, the eye’s color had turned purple.

The moment the purple eye fixed its gaze on Ye Bai, an invisible force enveloped her, locking her psychic energy inside her body and swiftly immobilizing all her movements.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

Mega’s heavy footsteps approached, and in his hand was a pin-like device. The sharp end was made of a material Ye Bai was all too familiar with—‘Shadow Magnet,’ capable of blocking psychic energy.

No, she couldn’t be caught!

Ye Bai struggled, but even with all her strength, she couldn’t perform a simple action like turning her head. She could only move her eyes slightly.

Mega’s hand reached out, casting a shadow over Ye Bai. At the critical moment, her peripheral vision caught sight of a sculpture about ten meters away.

【Shadow Step】!

The next moment, Mega froze in place, his psychic suppressor missing its target.

His gaze shifted, locking onto Ye Bai, who had emerged from the shadow of the sculpture and was now fleeing at full speed.

“A racial ability? Shadows, huh…”

Mega’s expression turned even more determined. He had initially thought Ye Bai’s psychic energy was the only thing worth studying, but now it seemed her genetic makeup was also special.

It appeared someone had gone to call for reinforcements, but Mega was confident he could capture a mere D-rank before help arrived.

……

How could this be?!

Mega’s face darkened, his expression one of utter disbelief. Six whole minutes had passed, and he still hadn’t caught a D-rank!

He had thought that shadow-based escape was her trump card, but what followed left him utterly astonished:

As he passed a water facility, ice projectiles suddenly shot out at him; as he crossed a green area, he was unexpectedly ensnared by rapidly growing vines; and then there were the fireballs that appeared out of nowhere and the inexplicable bolts of lightning… It all made Mega feel like he had stumbled upon a ghost.

He couldn’t even tell if these were psychic abilities or racial traits, and whichever it was, the variety was far too vast and chaotic!

Still, a D-rank’s psychic energy was no match for a B-rank’s. Despite her clever tricks, she was now on the verge of exhaustion.

Mega closed the distance in a few strides, bringing himself within ten meters of Ye Bai.

Just a bit closer, and he could use his immobilizing ability again.

In fact, if Mega hadn’t been intent on capturing Ye Bai alive, allowing her to use all her tricks, she wouldn’t have lasted this long.

And then—

“Stop!”

A fiery figure shot toward them like a blur, moving at incredible speed.

Silienna had arrived! Ye Bai, battered and bruised, felt a surge of relief.

Mega’s expression changed, and he cursed Pence and Hude in his mind for being useless. He shifted his psychic entity once more, transforming it back into the purple eye form with its immobilizing ability.

This time, the purple eye was aimed at Silienna, while Mega himself charged straight toward Ye Bai.

A private spacecraft had already arrived nearby. Once Mega caught her and boarded the ship, Silienna wouldn’t be able to catch up.

At this critical moment, Ye Bai didn’t use any other spells to hinder Mega.

She poured every last bit of her psychic energy into a spell she had never used before.@@novelbin@@

【Mind Ray】

Psychic spells were a unique category across the universe, bypassing levels and defenses. Though their damage was low, they dealt pure, unmitigated damage, relying solely on the target’s vitality to withstand it.

Even the most basic psychic spell, Mind Ray, was something only second-tier elemental mages could hope to learn.

If there was any ability Ye Bai possessed that could harm Mega, a B-rank psychic, she knew it had to be a psychic spell.

She had been using basic elemental spells to harass and delay him, saving more complex spells like Light Arrow and Slow for later—partly to make him underestimate her, and partly to conserve energy. The latter spells required far more energy just to form.

In the physical world, nothing seemed to change, but in the psychic realm, Ye Bai’s psychic entity shrank to an almost imperceptible point. From that collapsed point, a red ray shot out, striking Mega’s psychic eye.

“Crack—”

This time, the B-rank psychic defense was breached. The ray struck Mega directly.

He shuddered, a searing pain piercing his soul, and froze in place, unable to move.

The damage pierced Mega’s psychic entity, injuring him. It wasn’t fatal… but there was another B-rank present, one who excelled in combat—Silienna!

The moment the immobilizing effect vanished, Silienna sprang into action. With all the momentum from her earlier struggle, she delivered a powerful punch to Mega’s temporarily unresponsive bald head.

“Boom!”

It sounded like a watermelon being smashed.

……

Thirty minutes later, above Makur Star, a fleet of massive starships appeared in formation. At the forefront were thirty-six smaller dots arranged in a matrix.

A powerful signal field, stronger than any planetary signal, enveloped the entire planet, broadcasting a message that could be automatically translated and understood:

“This is the Stellar Alliance’s Second Arm of the Milky Way, Fifth Fleet. The criminal activities of the Makur Group have been confirmed. The Stellar Alliance will now begin a blockade and cleansing operation on Makur Star. All citizens, victims, and non-participants, please remain calm. Dedicated AI systems will assist you with registration…”

The entire planet, once in chaos, fell silent.

Those who had tried to flee in the confusion were intercepted within the star system, with only a few managing to escape in time.

When the Stellar Alliance acted, even the cleansing of an entire planet was carried out with remarkable efficiency.

As long as one didn’t forcibly block their personal terminal with psychic energy, they could connect to the Stellar Alliance fleet’s signal.

Once ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‍connected, everyone on Makur Star was greeted by the AI system, which then processed them according to their status.

All good things must come to an end, and the rescued individuals prepared to return to their respective civilizations.

Before parting ways, the six who had met at the auction house and fought side by side—Ye Bai and the others—gathered together and exchanged Stellar Network contact information.

Yes, the Stellar Network.

As the Stellar Alliance cleansed the planet, the Makur Group’s assets were immediately liquidated by a dedicated supercomputing system, converted into Stellar Credits, and distributed as compensation to the affected parties.

First, all victims of the trafficking incident received a base compensation of 10,000 Stellar Credits. Those who had made significant contributions during the fight received additional bonuses. Naturally, Ye Bai and the other five who had spearheaded the escape were among them.

Ye Bai received an extra 10,000 Stellar Credits, bringing her total earnings from the incident to 20,000 Stellar Credits.

Of course, the other companions had more than Ye Bai, and Silienna, who was the strongest, was in an excellent mood. According to her, she had received a bounty that even she was satisfied with.

However, Ye Bai didn’t feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction about this. For an ‘F-level,’ being able to earn extra combat bonuses was already thanks to the efforts of others helping her.

What mattered was that with 20,000 star coins, Ye Bai finally had a legitimate reason to use the Stellar Network.

Next were the passengers who had been frightened during the incident. The Stellar Alliance refunded their exhibition tickets and even covered their return spaceship fares.

Finally, there were the severance packages for the ordinary employees who hadn’t been involved in any crimes—due to the clear hierarchical system of the corporation, non-core personnel below level five were too easily identifiable.

“I’ve always spent whatever I had before and never saved up to register for the Stellar Network. But now, I’ve finally registered. I heard there’s a game called ‘Myriad Realms,’ and I’m planning to check it out,” Silienna said.

“Me too. I heard that Myriad Realms can boost mental strength. I’m going back to my home planet to register!” Liko chimed in.

Everyone spoke of Myriad Realms with fresh curiosity. They had been taken away much earlier than Ye Bai, back when Myriad Realms wasn’t even widely known.

“Haha, same here,” Ye Bai could only laugh awkwardly at this point.

They didn’t chat for long before the transport spaceship arrived.

All the rescued individuals naturally received free spaceship tickets as well.

The six of them bid farewell and boarded different spaceships one after another.

...

Sitting comfortably in the reclining chair of the spaceship, Ye Bai received a notification.

[The spaceship you are on will depart in three minutes. Destination: ‘Phantom Sea Galaxy.’ Estimated arrival time: 304 hours.]

That’s right, Ye Bai wasn’t returning to Blue Star.

Earlier, when the Stellar Alliance’s AI receptionist contacted Ye Bai, she was given a second option besides being sent back to Blue Star.

It was an invitation from a scholar from the Phantom Sea Galaxy.

This scholar was none other than Aurora, Ye Bai’s former lab boss and friend. At the time, their communication had been cut off due to the launch of Aurora’s spaceship, and they had lost contact.

Afterward, Aurora hadn’t stopped trying to send messages to Ye Bai. However, without using the Stellar Network, the messages traveled much slower than spaceships capable of wormhole jumps. In reality, Aurora had left Blue Star less than half a month ago, and her messages hadn’t even reached Blue Star yet.

It was only because of the Makur Star incident, which briefly made headlines in the cosmic news alongside updates about Myriad Realms, that Aurora saw the news on the Stellar Network. Remembering that Ye Bai had mentioned going to Makur Star for work, Aurora grew concerned for her safety and left a message at the Stellar Alliance office on the Stellar Network. If Ye Bai was on Makur Star, she could come to the Phantom Sea Galaxy to find her after the incident.

After some consideration, Ye Bai chose to go to the Phantom Sea Galaxy.

In a way, Ye Bai was Aurora’s ‘graduation thesis.’ Back then, Aurora had chosen the obscure topic of ‘Ancient Blue Star History’ and offered Ye Bai a job as a research subject. This not only cured Ye Bai’s previously incurable brain cancer but also helped her learn a lot about the basics of life in the interstellar era.

In return, Ye Bai cooperated fully with Aurora’s research, answering questions about what she considered ‘modern life common sense.’

And so, three years passed until Aurora’s research funding ran out.

The rating of the research report… well, let’s not talk about that.

Even so, when Aurora left Blue Star, she gave Ye Bai the last of her research funds as severance pay. From this alone, it was clear… Aurora was someone worth keeping around!

Of course, Ye Bai’s decision was based on more than just that.

The Phantom Sea Galaxy was the primary star system of the Phantom Sea civilization, and its habitability rating wasn’t an issue. Besides, Ye Bai, now at D-level, no longer needed such a high level of purification environment.

Blue Star was expensive, and there was also the risk of her identity being exposed. It was a public planet that wasn’t entirely safe for ‘Ye Bai.’ The Phantom Sea Galaxy, on the other hand, was much safer, especially compared to Blue Star, which was near a wormhole.

The final reason was a concern Ye Bai couldn’t quite put into words.

Ye Bai slowly closed her eyes. The image of the bald man before his death lingered in her memory, refusing to fade.

It wasn’t that she was scared, but the look in his eyes as he died made her deeply uncomfortable.

Half of his head was destroyed, yet his eyes were fixed on Ye Bai, as if he were trying to memorize her appearance and figure.

Traveling to the Phantom Sea Galaxy instead of returning to Blue Star would take much longer, but being on a Stellar Alliance transport ship undoubtedly offered higher security. Only the Stellar Alliance knew about Ye Bai’s choice.

If there were any repercussions from the bald man’s actions, choosing to go to the Phantom Sea Galaxy would minimize the potential risks Ye Bai might face.

Ye Bai could only hope she was overthinking it.

Shaking her head, she closed her eyes and connected to the Stellar Network. After a quick glance at the news about the Makur Star incident, she entered Myriad Realms.

Finally, she had time to develop her territory in peace. It had been so long since she’d seen her adorable… villagers. They must have missed their lord dearly!
