All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 316 Masaki Keigo
In the headquarters building of Cedik Technology, Masaki Keigo woke up from a nightmare once again—this was the thirtieth year since he could remember, and he had a nightmare every now and then.

In my dream, the darkness that swallowed the world obscured all light.

Human civilization has been reduced to ruins.

He stood there all alone, seemingly possessing the power to save the world, yet unable to move or do anything, forced to watch helplessly as the world was destroyed.

Looking on in despair.

Each time he wakes up, he finds it was a dream and feels fortunate.

However, whenever he forgets his dreams and begins to live like an ordinary person, the nightmares will return, as if urging him on.

Tell him: Masaki Keigo, you are not an ordinary person, you cannot enjoy life.

The world is developing rapidly and gradually resembles the scene in his dream, making him realize that what he dreamed of was the end of human civilization in the near future!
So he saw himself as a savior.

He began to train his body and frantically search his mind for any way to fight the darkness.

Little did they know, he was not the savior.

The reason he foresaw the apocalypse was not because the world needed him to save it, but because he happened to possess the genes of an ancient warrior and had some superhuman abilities, allowing him to predict the future through dreams!

Besides that, he is nothing and can do nothing!
"The land shrouded in darkness needs someone to become light and guide humanity forward, and that person is me!" Masaki Keigo muttered to himself.

But at that moment, the computer next to him, which he usually used for work, turned on by itself.

A passage appeared: "You are not light, you are merely shadow, darkness born from the light, yearning for the light, yet forever destined to exist in the corner, a mere foil to the light!"

These words startled Masaki Keigo.

Immediately, certain images, which were not part of his dream and which he could not distinguish as real or merely figments of his imagination, appeared before him.

That was the endless, distant past.

Darkness also enveloped the earth, and the once-prosperous ancient civilization was destroyed in the darkness.

As the light, he stood quietly, watching everything, without moving an inch.

And when darkness truly descended, looking at the foolish and unaware humans who faced death without resistance, he felt no more compassion or pity, but only anger.

Ultimately, he was corrupted by darkness and became a part of the destruction.

It was sealed away by a companion who, though also turned into darkness, had not lost his mind, and buried underground in Kumamoto City along with his pet dog!

And that companion, after leaving behind his body used in battle, also vanished completely.

Before disappearing, it left behind a helpless sigh filled with longing and reluctance.

"There has never been any light. When people choose to believe, the giant of darkness can transform into light and fight for them. But when people stop believing in the giant, the borrowed light fades, revealing the giant's true form!"

The clarity of his past memories plunged Masaki Keigo into confusion.

He asked, "Who are you?"

That attitude, which seemed to accept his identity, surprised Chu Xiu on the other end of the network. He responded, "I am the light you want to become!"

This surprised Masaki Keigo once again.

He immediately said, "I've never seen light that hides its head and tail!"

"Tch, you talk like you've seen the light of day!" Chu Xiu retorted. "I'm not hiding anything, I just don't want to be like that bald guy! After all, barging into someone's house is very impolite—if you want to see me, you can come to the rooftop, I'll be waiting for you there!"

Upon hearing this, Masaki Keigo immediately went out and headed straight for the rooftop.

He quickly spotted Chu Xiu standing there. However, he didn't say anything; instead, he swung his fist and punched him.

When faced with a riddle-teller whose identity is unknown, Masaki Keigo has only one thought: to give him a good beating and knock him down... Not long after, Masaki Keigo, lying on the ground, was convinced of his defeat.

He has the physique of a normal human being, so how can he fight Chu Xiu?
Ordinary people who have only trained are no match for Chu Xiu, who has experienced multiple worlds, cultivated various systems, and whose fighting skills have reached the god level.

Not to mention, Chu Xiu also has the power of his mind to enhance him.

Before transforming, although he couldn't unleash the full power of his mental energy, that energy itself remained intact and still granted him many idealistic qualities.

For example, immunity to damage!
"I can't beat you, but I will not submit to you!" said Masaki Keigo.

Chu Xiu was not surprised by this.

If he gave in after being beaten up, would he still be Masaki Keigo?

“You’re still clueless, let me enlighten you!” Chu Xiu said, pointing his index finger at Masaki Keigo’s brow. His mental power erupted, bringing Masaki Keigo into his mental world.

There, time proceeds normally.

After waking from a nightmare, Masaki Keigo goes about his work as usual, discovers ancient giant statues as usual, tries to steal Daigo's Spark Lens as usual, and fails and is imprisoned as usual.

Finally, as darkness fell, he witnessed Daigo's defeat.

They went to the rescue with the equipment.

However, due to the intervention of an ancient evil god, the rescue operation ultimately failed, and he himself was trapped deep in the sea, on the verge of losing his life.

But at that moment of despair, he suddenly awoke.

I found myself back in the present moment.

"I've been reborn?"

This was Masaki Keigo's first thought, but he quickly realized what he meant and looked at Chu Xiu, saying, "No, it was you who let me enter the future and experience all of that firsthand?"

His attitude towards Chu Xiu has changed.

Because the feelings in the spiritual world were so real, it was as if time had really flowed into the future, and he had been reborn.

"Correct!"

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Without my interference, that is your destiny, your future. The final darkness that descends, the 'ancient evil god' sleeping at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, is the culprit that caused the extinction of the ancient humans, and the humans of this world will soon have to face it!"

Masaki Keigo had no doubt about this.

Because his dreams were always filled with darkness, he could deeply feel the despair of an evil god descending.

"Humans are too weak!"

Masaki Keigo sighed, looked at Chu Xiu, and said, "You said you are light, which means you are also an 'ancient warrior', right?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu nodded.

"That's it!"

"So, why did you come to see me?" Masaki Keigo asked.

"Well, cough cough!" Chu Xiu didn't hide anything and said, "Although I am an ancient warrior, in my childhood, due to my ignorance, I lent my light to someone else, which caused me to be unable to transform later. So, I've come to you now hoping to use your intelligence to find a way to activate the ancient genes within me and reclaim the light I lost!"

Masaki Keigo: "???"
