Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[Black Tower: I'm more interested in knowing what else this senior knows. His words imply that the machine head's curiosity will one day clash with the conscience of the entire universe in a life-or-death struggle. Is he merely logically deducing that this is inevitable, or...?]

[ScrewGumm: Logic. Or has he already deduced the specific form this war between humans and gods, where only one side can survive, will take?]

[Yao Guang: The latter option is so bizarre that it sounds almost fantastical. Putting it on a scientist just doesn't seem right... Haha, of course I really wanted to make that conclusion. But...]

[Star: But he is Zandal.]

[Undying Path: I...he...tsk...sigh!]

The Undying Path's actions perfectly captured Galaxy's feelings at that moment, which can be summed up in eight words: wanting to cry but having no tears, speechless!

No matter how outrageous something is, as long as it's associated with the word Zandal, it seems to become a possibility.

More importantly, who dares to ignore this possibility?

Could it be that in the unknown future, a cataclysmic disaster comparable to, or even larger than, the Iron Tomb is already beckoning them?

No way? I don't want that kind of thing...

[Jing Yuan: With Zandal's current influence, a few empty threats would be enough to keep the entire galaxy on edge.]

The Milky Way gave a wry smile.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. But what kind of insane level of credibility is this? Even the God of Destruction wouldn't cause the universe to panic like this.

This number one genius is truly... incredibly talented!

……

"Listen—" Lycurgus ascended the steps one by one, heading toward his execution ground.

Looking out from a high vantage point, reflecting on this "failed work" he had personally created, he appeared calm and his tone was devoid of any grand pronouncements.

He spoke as if stating something as self-evident as 1+1=2: "The death knell for geniuses has tolled. As always, let me be the first."

"To the prisoners who have emerged from the cave, please stand before my tombstone..."

"Offer the flowers of Adrenaline (destruction)."

The sound of wind and sand was deafening and chaotic, and the scene gradually went dark, thus ending the story.

But everyone understood that the Zandal Slice, who brought endless fear to the world, was the paranoid embodiment of his destructive destiny, and thus—he became a martyr.

The atmosphere in the chat group became extremely strange for a moment.

After witnessing the end of Laigushi's life, the expected sense of relief did not come; instead, the people of the Milky Way were filled with layers of unease.

When the death knell tolls for geniuses, will the sound waves reach those of us who are not involved?

Surely... no way?

This idea arose in the hearts of countless people, but it lacked any real basis.

[That Summer: Ah, creation began with him; destruction also began with him. Is this another kind of reincarnation?]

[Bai Er: Is the universe really a giant Ompharos? Hopefully, it won't have to struggle through thirty million endings.]

[Qingque: Stop talking, stop talking. (╥﹏╥)]

[March 7th: Um... let's not be so tense. Let's look on the bright side; at least we've overcome this hurdle, haven't we? Lacus said the death knell has already tolled, but who knows how long it will be before it rings again?]

[Star: That makes sense. From the time he committed suicide to the sound of that first chime, tens of thousands of years passed. Maybe his chimes were even slower than the Amber King's?]

[Yao Guang: Hmph, since both our savior and our prophet have said so, what's there to overthink? At least we've won a resounding victory. A proper celebration and a good meal to reward ourselves isn't unreasonable, is it?]

[Fu Xuan: Senior Sister, are you really not worried at all?]

When did her senior sister become as heartless as Qingque?

Besides, Qingque has no time to be carefree anymore!

[Yao Guang: What good is worrying? If worrying were useful, we would have cursed the plague and calamity of our ancestors long ago. Rather than living in constant fear, we should cultivate ourselves, conceal our abilities, and wait for disaster to strike. When it comes, we will act like thunder, fighting like the Golden Blood. That is the only true path for our survival.]

[Black Tower: Not bad. And at least, before the Star Train concludes its journey to Onpharos, there are still a few events like the Immortal Boat Luofu and Pinocchio, so for outsiders, there's still a period of time to enjoy themselves.]

The people of the Milky Way were both amused and exasperated. So, these few days of peace were just the beginning; the entire universe was about to be thrown into chaos and displacement?

They've lived for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, how did they suddenly become like this?

[Star: Don't worry everyone, my Starry Sky Train is invincible! Not to mention the Iron Tomb, even if the Last Kitty came, he wouldn't be able to breathe on us!]

[Sunday: On the bright side. In the calamity prophesied by Zandal, he left Mr. Screwgoom a decisive formula, which means that next time, Zandal will indirectly be on our side.]

[Robin: Hmm...that does sound like things are much better now.]

[Qingque: Huh? Oh right!]

In short, everyone in the Galaxy team was instantly energized. Analyzing the situation and shouting "Stay calm, we can win!" a thousand times wouldn't have mattered.

Many people slapped their thighs hard.

"That's right! The psychological trauma from Lai Gushi is too great; he's actually started to consider him an enemy!"

"Wow, the Savior is invincible, and Zandal is unparalleled in wisdom! If these two join forces, what is there to fear in the universe? Even the Star God would have to cry his way back!"

"Oh right, that guy, Lai Gu Shi, didn't he say he had a one-in-three chance of making Xing the only one in the galaxy? Hurry up and use it!"

The entire galaxy instantly gained confidence.

Zendal as a teammate? This is Zendal as a teammate!

……

Inside the train, Xing tilted her head and pinched her chin, her expression a mix of strangeness and anticipation.

"You really shouldn't talk about Sunday, you really shouldn't!"

"Having someone like Zandal to give you a cheat code seems pretty good, doesn't it?"

Thinking about it, Xing's lips curled into a "healthy" smile.

Those guys who dare to block the front of the car, experience the combined skills of the savior and the genius! How many floors will you have to carry a bag of rice up?

[Star: I think Sunday was the best!]

——【Next: "Complete the Cause and Effect: Fallen Petals, Lingering Fragrance"】

[March 7th: Oh? There's more to come? The battle's over, the culprit's been killed, I thought it was all over.]

A pure white halo of light was drawn back, and a thick book lay quietly on the train floor.

A startled scream came from inside the room on March 7th.

"...Whoa!" Pam exclaimed in surprise, "March passenger, why did you suddenly wake up, Pam! You startled me so much I dropped my book!"

[March 7th: Pam was so frightened that she could only utter the word "Pam".]

[Star: Suddenly sitting up in shock while on his deathbed, he realized that he himself was the savior!]

Himeko smiled with relief upon seeing the three children safe and sound: "Welcome home, all three of you. Thank you for your hard work on this [expansion]."

Walter joked in a serious tone, "Considering the years you've spent in Onfaros, the seniority of the train crew probably needs to be rearranged."

[Sunday: Mr. Walter, what a humorous fellow!]

[Star: Haha, what? It's just a lighthearted epilogue. I thought there would be some new developments. But then again, Lai Gu Shi committed suicide, so what big things could possibly happen? Hahaha, let's get some juice and snacks and enjoy some leisurely time!]

[March 7th: Share some with me!]
