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

Ciel explained the difficulties involved to Renata.

Renata listened attentively and memorized Ciel's statements.

She knew very well in her heart—

Even according to Charles, there are still many problems with completing this technique, and it is quite difficult to do so.

However, this is the last straw for this broken world.

In other worlds, people would seek out such techniques because they represent an almost inexhaustible source of energy, which could instantly propel the civilization of an entire world several levels higher.

However, if it cannot be achieved in a short period of time, then it doesn't matter.

After all, the existing energy reserves of other worlds are already sufficient to sustain the most basic development of civilization.

However, the world is different.

Without sufficient light, even if the immediate disaster of darkness has been averted, the problem cannot be truly solved.

Perhaps, once the constraints of the twilight creatures and the Calamity of No Light are lifted, the settlements of the remaining survivors in this world will gradually expand, and the population of each settlement will slowly increase.

but--

That's all.

In a world without the sun, maintaining the existence of a few gathering points is already the limit of the limit.

The true reconstruction of civilization...

The idea of ​​restoring the vibrant and beautiful world before the Great Cataclysm is nothing short of a fantasy.

.......

As she listened to Charles's words, a complex light flickered in the Twilight Witch's pale golden eyes.

After a long while, she slowly gazed at Charles with her pale golden eyes.

"Creating that spell, even with your extraordinary mental strength, must have been no easy feat..."

"But you... are not actually a resident of this world, but a visitor from another dimension... This world is just a passing place for you."

The small, exquisite diary, with its pale gold text, slowly emerged.

"Why are you helping me...?"

"Helping the world so much..."

As the Twilight Witch who holds the power of the gods in this world, even though she is trapped in self-sealing, she still has a considerable degree of control over this world.

With a little recollection, she learned of Charles's brief past in this world.

From the moment they arrived in this world, they were bestowed with the so-called "divine magic, the Atomic Lamp," granting Aurora City a perpetual and stable light source...

Later still, an unimaginable forbidden spell destroyed the fallen sun god.

The Dark Calamity and the Twilight Creatures, which even Renata herself was somewhat preoccupied with due to her self-sealing, were thoroughly and completely eliminated.

And now... we want to light up a new star for this world.

From any perspective.

Ciel's actions...

They have already transcended the scope of a traveler from a different dimension or a passerby in this world.

.......

"why?"

Charles couldn't help but smile.

He can understand the other person's question.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and the inhabitants of this world have come to a profound understanding of this truth during that great catastrophe.

Given her own mysterious origins, it's understandable that Renata is worried about her motives.

After all, when the gods of this world established churches, bestowed blessings, and appeared incredibly noble and benevolent, no one knew that they would drag so many believers down into an abyss of chaos and madness during the Great Cataclysm.

This suspicion—

Whether it was Azer and Anna of Silver City, Francis, or that legendary Bone Demon, they had all had such thoughts to some extent.

It was only because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Xia Er was their last lifeline, that they never voiced their doubts, nor did they dare to.

however--

As the Twilight Witch and the last protector of this world's civilization, Renata directly exposed her true nature.

Because she knew that this already broken world could no longer withstand even the slightest accident.

.......

It seems I underestimated this Twilight Witch...

Charles thought to himself.

Even though Renata's life is incomplete, and her understanding of the world is limited to imagination through fragments of text in books.

However, this girl who slept in the sea of ​​stars truly bore the weight of this world's civilization and destiny on her frail shoulders.

And what about myself?

With the spiritual power of a legendary mage, Sharl examined his own true self.

“Why would I do this?”

"On one hand, it's because I, as both a human and a wizard, have witnessed the tragic fate of humanity in this world and the magnificent past of wizarding civilization—"

"The empathy and compassion that arises unconsciously."

Ciel spoke slowly.

Although at the beginning of my transmigration, I actually held a mindset similar to that of a gamer, casually enjoying life...

However, after being brought back to the Dark Tower by Vimera, and experiencing so many people and events over the years as a Dark Tower wizard—

He had indeed developed a genuine sense of identity and belonging to the Black Tower, to his identity as a wizard, and to this world.

.......

"On the other hand—"

"This is because we have complete control over the 'controlled nuclear fusion' model."

"Creating a true 'pseudo-star' is something I've always wanted to do."

"If we can truly take this step."

"Then my understanding of arcane magic may be able to reach a completely new level."

Ciel spoke slowly.

The principles and inspiration behind the forbidden spells he created before this...

Ultimately, it all stems from his memories before he traveled through time.

It is that brilliant human civilization that has neither magic nor the bodies of superhumans—yet can soar to the heavens and dive into the earth—the crystallization of wisdom gathered by countless sages over thousands of years.

Whether it's "Divine Retribution: The Sword of Damocles" or "Nuclear Explosion Magic"—

These are all products that existed in that era and could be truly applied in practice.

All he had done before was to recreate it in this other world where swords and magic existed.

but--

Controlled nuclear fusion was a grand idea that, even in that era, could only be briefly implemented in laboratories and was never truly successfully achieved.

If the previous Charles was merely following in the footsteps of the sages of that era—

So if at this very moment, I could truly complete the "pseudo-star,"

Then he was standing on the shoulders of giants, taking a truly new step of his own, and truly at the forefront of arcane arts and science.

This is a test.

It is also a completely new breakthrough and creation—

Surpassing our predecessors and sages, we turn technologies that only existed in imagination into reality, and stand at the forefront of the times.

Even the slightest thought of it made Charles's blood boil.

.......

"The last reason is due to some personal motives."

Charles spoke quite frankly.

"My teacher must be hiding many secrets, and this world is also too unusual, just like the Western Continent where I live."

"That might be related to the way the gods exist, my teacher's past, and her enemies—"

“I have a feeling that helping the world avoid the catastrophe of destruction is something that her enemies do not want to see, and it may be able to relieve some of the pressure on my teacher.”

"Even putting that aside, if a material plane with a tiny spark of civilization could establish a connection with my world, there would be considerable potential benefits."

"For example, the potential consumer market..."
