Those who reincarnate must die.

The killing of Luo Wei shocked everyone at Altar No. 4, but faced with a monster that could easily kill their leader, no one dared to step forward. They could only watch helplessly as Zhang Lang picked up Luo Wei's corpse and leaped away.

After leaving Stargate No. 1, Zhang Lang observed Luo Wei's corpse for a while, and only after confirming that he could not be resurrected did he casually discard it.

He then went to Stargates 2 and 4, and met with Saman at Altar 9 and Diana at Altar 13.

Both of the forum leaders knew this maverick newcomer from the selection competition and were surprised that he had been able to come to other star gates so quickly.

After contacting them, Zhang Lang basically confirmed that the entire world, including the reincarnators of the major altars, had been reset by a mysterious force to the point where the mission had just begun fifteen minutes ago!

Only he, perhaps because of the power of returning to simplicity, was unaffected and retained his previous memories.

Zhang Lang initially thought that this was due to the special enhancement of a certain reincarnator, most likely Luo Wei's fourth altar.

Because he killed Luo Wei, someone activated this save-save method to save him... It's even possible that this was Luo Wei's own power, triggered after a certain period of time following his death.

To confirm, he first found the fourth altar, killed Rowe on the spot, and controlled his corpse for a period of time, but now so much time has passed and the rollback has not been triggered again.

He then made contact with two other altars, and judging from their condition, they were also unaware of the world being rolled back.

Sitting on the steps of a bustling street, watching the passersby, Zhang Lang fell into deep thought.

Could this mysterious rewind be the work of a reincarnator?

After all, this world has things like hell and demons, so it's not surprising that there are other supernatural forces as well.

But what kind of power is it that can affect not only this world, but also the reincarnators, and even the altar itself?

If erasing the reincarnator's memories and resetting their state is understandable, then withdrawing the points already obtained, or even modifying the progress of the task, is somewhat incomprehensible!

Over time, Zhang Lang's understanding of the altar has deepened. The altar's power is not absolute; there are many ways to attack that can bypass the altar's healing mechanism, allowing the reincarnated to still be harmed after returning to the altar.

However, although this kind of damage can bypass the altar's healing, it can be healed and neutralized by other abilities granted by the altar.

Damage caused by unique abilities must also be healed by unique abilities or items; this is itself a balancing mechanism of the altar.

Rather than saying that this attack broke the altar's healing mechanism, it would be more accurate to say that the altar took control of its healing authority in order to increase the value of some high-level enhancements.

However, mechanisms such as return, enhancement, and task completion conditions are the core functions of the altar and cannot be shaken!

So far, Zhang Lang has only seen one power that can transcend the core mechanism of the altar, and that is his Return to Simplicity.

And now, he has met a second one.

If this is the power that exists within the altar, then it is at least an unprecedented level of power!

The question is, where does this power come from?

Does it truly originate from the world itself?

Could it be that the power was activated by some reincarnated individual, but they managed to deceive me? Or perhaps after using it, the user was reset and forgot everything?

And could this power be a one-time use ability? It disappeared after being reset once before, so will this mission be able to be completed smoothly?

Just as Zhang Lang was pondering, he suddenly realized that the world around him was beginning to change.

The sun was moving eastward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and pedestrians and vehicles on the street began to rush backward!

start again?

Zhang Lang watched all this quietly. About a minute later, everything returned to normal. He looked at his badge; there were still eleven hours and forty-five minutes left until the mission was completed.

It's rolled back again!

This time it started even earlier than last time; he remembered the mission had only been going on for a little over an hour. The first time, however, it was a rollback that started just before the mission was about to end!

This at least confirmed for Zhang Lang that the rollback wasn't a one-off event. And the timing of the rollback seemed to be irregular?

Zhang Lang got up and took to the air, returning to the city near the No. 3 Star Gate. As soon as he entered the area, he received a communication from Le Xinyi.

"Where did you go? You just led us into the pawnshop, how come you disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"It's nothing..." Zhang Lang said calmly, "I'll go back now."

Back at the pawn shop, Zhang Lang pulled out his assassin pistol, activated the silencer, and slammed it on the table: "Go test the gun in the basement first, then we'll discuss the price."

"Sorry, we don't accept that..."

boom!

Zhang Lang slammed his fist on the counter: "Either you go to the basement and shoot at the target, or I'll shove this gun in your mouth right here!"

Even through the thick, sturdy bulletproof glass, the pawnshop owner still felt, for some reason, that the man before him could actually keep his word…

Returning from the basement, the pawnshop owner exclaimed excitedly, "That's amazing! How did you do that? You managed to completely silence the gunshots? Even if..."

"With this gun, you'll have technology that surpasses Dalson's." Zhang Lang interrupted him beforehand, then turned and winked at Le Xinyi.

Le Xinyi was a little confused this time, but she was quick-witted and immediately adjusted her state, stepping forward to engage in a verbal battle.

Finally, the group left the pawnshop with cash and checks and took a train to Xingmen New City.

This time, Zhang Lang didn't even bother asking any questions. He simply told the group in charge where President Simon's office was located and told them to go up and take him hostage. As for himself, he went straight underground and headed straight for the Star Gate.

"What? Someone's hacking into the stargate? What are the security guards doing?"

Inside the office, Simon received an intrusion report from the Stargate District.

"Couldn't stop them? Too fast? You must be joking. Doesn't the Stargate District have security robots? How could someone possibly infiltrate such an important place..."

Before she could finish speaking, the office's floor-to-ceiling window suddenly shattered with a crash, and a cute orange-haired girl jumped in from outside.

"Huh?" Simon was stunned by what he saw. "Isn't this bulletproof glass? And this is the 88th floor, right?"

Before he could react, a commotion broke out outside the office door, and soon the other members of the Twelve Altars also rushed into the office.

"Who are you people?" Simon panicked and immediately pressed the alarm button.

"It's no use." Le Xinyi walked up with a smile: "The security system of this building has been paralyzed. This is an emergency. The world is about to be invaded by demons from hell. I hope you can contact the military immediately to evacuate and seal off this place."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Simon, of course, did not believe it.

"You can see the surveillance footage of the Stargate area here. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."

Faced with threats from so many dangerous individuals, Simon had no choice but to obey and pull up the surveillance footage from the Stargate District.

The massive stargate was functioning normally. Due to the intrusion of unidentified individuals, the surrounding staff had been evacuated, leaving only the mechanical security force on guard.

The stargate reacted quickly.

A large number of staff members who had been sent to the other side of the stargate rushed back in a panic. At the end of the line, an unfamiliar human male dragged out a hideous, ugly, and terrifying creature that was clearly not from this world.
