I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

[Heh... Haha! You thought it, didn't you! You definitely thought it just now, didn't you! Hahaha! You actually preferred to believe me, the enemy, rather than your own comrades?! Hahahaha!!!]

Its laughter was full of mockery.

Well then... goodbye everyone, my mission is complete!

boom!

The grenade in its hand blew its body to pieces.

“Herrserk!!!”

At the same time, Qianjie rushed in, but could only look at its broken body and roar in anger.

You! Deserve! To! Die!

His voice was filled with sorrow.

Chapter 75 Achieves the Ending: [A Long Song Dedicated to the Future] Part 2 (6954)

"Dawn..."

Eden landed on the moon in a daze, taking hurried and helpless steps, inching closer to that place, that... place where he disappeared.

Flowers bloom in profusion, stars twinkle... Golden notes linger, golden light lingers, as if waiting for someone, as if yearning for someone.

"I'm sorry... I'm late..."

Eden murmured to herself, but there was no sound of her voice around her.

How bewildered this shining, dazzling "star" must be at this moment.

There was no sign of him anywhere in sight.

We promised to stay together.

You promised you'd stay by my side, didn't you?

Then why...

"I'm sorry... I'm late..."

That's all she could comfort herself with, that's all she could mutter to herself.

But the silence of space prevented her from conveying her words.

Step into the land of blooming flowers, step into the land of twinkling stars.

Musical notes surrounded her, dancing around her as if welcoming her or guiding her.

She moved slowly forward, and finally arrived at the pit, the place where... Xi Wang disappeared.

There, a crystal-clear "core" floats quietly.

Transparent, sparkling, and as beautiful as a diamond.

She gently reached out and carefully touched it, but the diamond-like "core" seemed to be throwing a tantrum, gently moving away from her.

"I'm sorry, Xiwang, I... I'm late..."

She whispered to herself.

"Let me hug you, please forgive me... okay?"

She reached out, trying to grasp the "core," but as if it had heard her words, the "core" fell into her hand on its own.

Along with it came the gathering radiance and the drifting musical notes.

Yes, I forgive you, Eden.

I felt a gentle embrace from him.

A gentle whisper, belonging to him, reached my ears.

Finally, it was as if they had finally achieved their goal.

The brilliance faded, the musical notes vanished, the flowers danced in the air, and the stars dimmed.

Eden clutched the "core" tightly in his hand and collapsed to the ground.

This dazzling "star," this brilliant "star," cried so sadly for the first time, and the tears just wouldn't stop.

But in the silent space, even her cries could not be heard.

…………

"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!! You deserve to die! [Herrscher]!!!"

"........."

When Kevin and the others arrived at the scene, all they could hear was the furious roar of Qian Jie, and all they could see were the ruins he had destroyed.

Qianjie roared, desperately venting the anger in his heart, trying to release the sorrow and rage in his heart, but... he couldn't.

The "Fire Moth" leaders who exiled Xiwang have all been killed by it. Even it itself committed suicide just before Qianjie arrived, leaving Qianjie with no complete body, so that he has nowhere to vent his anger, and he can't even vent his anger by mutilating its corpse.

He could only destroy everything, everything within his sight, everything that could be destroyed... to destroy and tear it to shreds, as if this could alleviate his inner anger.

But... I can't do it.

No matter how much you destroy or tear things apart, you can't quell the anger in your heart.

Because... he was late, he arrived too late.

He...failed to save Xiwang, and couldn't even kill the "Herrscher" with his own hands to avenge Xiwang.

He...can't do anything.

…………

After it died and ceased using the [Twelfth Herrscher Core] to control the device, communication was restored for everyone.

"Vilvie...can you still speak?"

"……Can."

Vervi's voice sounded very hoarse, clearly indicating that she was forcing herself to answer.

“That’s not your problem, Vilvie.”

"But I developed all those weapons."

Vervi's voice sounded low and full of despair.

"The weapons I developed, those nuclear bombs... destroyed our cities and killed all the inhabitants."

"........."

"The [Divine Key] I designed caused countless deaths in the storm... The [Fourth Divine Key]... Haha, in the end, the way it caused destruction was actually the same as the [Fourth Herrscher], haha..."

"........."

"And in the end, the 'Moon Throne' I designed killed him, and it was while he was singing for us that I... pressed the button myself."

Wilvi looked down at her hands.

“That [Herrscher] is right... I killed [Dawn/Hope].

Wilvi's hand moved down gently and touched a gear-shaped buckle on her waist... It was left to her by Xiwang.

"By my own hands..."

"........."

"...Su, that's enough. There's no need to do any treatment for me. I... am not that fragile, and I can't be that fragile."

Vervi looked up.

"If I make a mistake, I must make amends by myself."

"I hope you can understand what's going to happen next, Sue."

“Right now, we have too many weapons and too many things that cause damage. We… need more escape routes, more things that can protect us and keep us alive.”

"【The Key to Stagnation - All Things Sleep】...What a wonderful name! But it could certainly have another meaning, couldn't it? It could offer us even better help, just like his 'Utopia Project,' couldn't it?"

Vilvi's tone was no longer as flippant as before, but full of determination.

…………

"...Hiss... Damn it... How did they get attacked again?"

"If you can't figure out how to write the combat log, then let me do it."

"Ah, Dr. Mei... but..."

"It's okay, let me do it."

"……it is good."

The man nodded and gave his seat to Mei.

"........."

Mei glanced at the format first, then began to adjust and record it, and prepared to submit it.

Yes, they handed it over... It's hard to believe, but after a group of high-ranking officials were eliminated, another group of people with slightly less power stepped forward and took over their positions... According to the original system, they could indeed do that.

Therefore, according to common sense, Dr. Mei and the others... should still obey orders, well, according to common sense.

Therefore, in order to follow the existing system and not to actively undermine it, Mei... very, very reluctantly accepted this arrangement.

If I had to explain why, well… it's probably because I still have a little bit of wishful thinking, a little bit of expectation.

So Mei submitted the revised record and waited patiently.

A while later, the message came back: her report... had been rejected and marked as incorrect.

"Xi Wang is not a casualty; he is a [Herrscher]."

The first thing that catches the eye is this.

"There is a problem with Alicia's physical examination report. She needs to be re-examined immediately."

This is the second one.

"........."
