After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

"13%..."

Within the holy city, everyone silently awaited the number to decrease, until it reached zero...

And, the final verdict.

This continent has been at odds with the gods for so long... that it has long since thoroughly understood the many characteristics of those deities in the starry sky.

The gods who descend upon this world are merely projections... therefore, even if they are killed, they will return from the astral plane in the distant future.

but......

If a single blow could completely erase the traces of the Titans' existence in this world, then the tides of Titans on the surface would also vanish...

Even though the projection of the God of War will eventually descend again... it will take time for him to reshape the projection or to regroup his power.

In other words, the entire holy city, and even the civilization of this world, will have a respite of more than ten years... or even several decades or hundreds of years.

However, in the next instant...

"The target's divine power fluctuation intensity is 12% of its peak value..."

"15%..."

"18%..."

"23%..."

"37%..."

"56%..."

In the silent stillness, that cold number continued to rise.

Immediately afterwards——

"The 'Bow of the Gods' has failed to eliminate the target."

Before the public could even respond to this outcome—

next moment......

"Warning! Warning! Divine power strike fluctuations detected above the stars."

"The defense array has automatically activated..."

"The Holy City's total magical energy reserves are currently below five percent; the defensive array has failed to activate..."

"Warning! Over 20% of the outer city walls have been destroyed!"

"Warning! The Holy City's aerial array has been damaged by more than 40%! The aerial array has failed, and the Holy City will begin to fall from the sky!"

.......

The scorching divine light descended from the sky, giving the inhabitants of the holy city no time to react.

The sky collapsed and the earth caved in...

The chalk walls are crumbling and collapsing, the palaces are crumbling, and the entire floating holy city is collapsing.

Inside the crumbling throne room...

The female knight named Roland remained kneeling on one knee.

Relying on her powerful balance as a legendary expert, she steadied herself on the rocks beneath her feet, maintaining her balance even in the crumbling environment.

Roland looked at the indifferent figure before him and uttered hoarse words.

"His Majesty......"

"Please take with you our hopes, as well as the experiences and lessons learned from this restart..."

"Continue..."

The slender figure between the thrones merely nodded indifferently.

"I will."

next moment--

She gently raised her fair fingers.

Then, he touched the seemingly plain crown.

Immediately afterwards...

The surrounding scenery instantly turned into black and white.

Not only that, everything and everyone was frozen in time, even the gentle breeze and the ripples of thought were completely extinguished.

Then......

The world has started to flow backward.

.......

The shattered royal city is recovering. Although it had turned into countless collapsed rubble, the chaotic fragments are now being pieced together again, eventually settling back into a complete palace.

Not only the royal city, but the entire holy city, which resembles a kingdom, is like this.

The divine power that descended from the sky returned to the heavens...

Then, the magical missile fired from the "Godslayer's Bow" fell back down...

The speed at which time reverses continues to accelerate... The surrounding scenery becomes difficult to see clearly, with only ever-changing colors remaining, flickering like fleeting shadows.

After who knows how long of this illusion...

The river of time, flowing against the current, has once again come to a standstill.

It remained that desolate place, the throne room located at the highest point of the royal city.

It was already late at night, and the surroundings were dark and silent.

Only a few rays of starlight and moonlight shone through the clouds and glass curtain walls, becoming the only light in the throne room at that moment.

The slender figure slightly raised her hand and took out a thick book from beside her.

Then, she opened the thick book... and by the faint light of the stars and moon, she wrote a few lines of delicate writing on the pale paper.

[Thirty-ninth restart:]

[In this reboot, the fifth method of god-slaying proposed by the Arcane Academy was attempted—based on the spell model of "Cai Feng Force Field Missile," the "God-Hunting Bow" was created, which enhances the power of forbidden spells by stacking the total amount of magic power, in order to shoot down the God of War...]

[Failed to assassinate the war god...]

Meanwhile, due to the massive resources and manpower consumed in constructing the "Bow of the Gods," the First Fortress fell two years earlier than the average number of previous restarts.

Ultimately, the Holy City collapsed under the divine power of the God of War... due to insufficient magical energy reserves, preventing it from activating its defensive array.

[Duration of this restart: 7 years and 35 days.]

Her pen paused slightly before she continued writing.

The remaining Time Crystals have all been exhausted...

This restart... should be the last chance for this continent and its civilization...

This is the last time for me...

After writing all this, the woman closed the heavy book.

Then, she silently leaned against the cold throne behind her and closed her eyes slightly.

however--

next moment.

The woman's eyes suddenly opened slightly, revealing a pair of captivatingly beautiful eyes beneath the pale silver mask.

She is the true ruler of the Holy City... and with dozens of restarts... she knows almost every detail of the entire continent like the back of her hand.

however--

Just now, she discovered something...

In the previous dozens of restarts, there had never been anyone like this before...

A wizard with black hair and black eyes...

A cold yet melodious voice echoed between the empty, silent throne.

"one--"

"A completely new variable?"

Chapter Seventy-Six: Endless Energy 7000

When the spatial fluctuations around Xia Er ceased, what came into view was... a pale expanse of land.

Xia Er yawned and put away the crystal core of the Transcendent Beast, whose light was gradually dimming.

Dimensional travel that crosses world walls and penetrates the spatial distortions of countless dimensions... can be a great burden even for "Planewalkers" and "Dimensional Travelers" who specialize in this art.

It wouldn't be surprising if one's mental energy became overloaded from prolonged spatial coordinate calculations, leading to soul exhaustion, a coma, and ultimately, eternal loss within the dimensional rift...

Whether in the Western Continent or the Dawn World, there are many records of legendary mages who lost their way in the dimensional rifts and disappeared without a trace...
