Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

“And we know that,” Tony said, “so every time we fight, we’re more real than they are.”

"More importantly, that kind of thing doesn't exist in our world right now."

"Besides, even if there were... they would stand on the side of humanity."

Probably...

——Attack on Titan World——

Paradis Island.

Allen gazed at the sky, a complex fire burning in his eyes.

Mikasa stood behind him, without saying a word.

"Rollback..."

Allen's voice was hoarse: "We can start over, we can go back to the past, we can—make amends."

He thought of those who had died.

mother.

Hennessy.

Every single member of the Survey Corps.

If I could do it all over again—

"Allen."

Armin's voice came from beside him: "What are you thinking about?"

Allen remained silent for a long time.

"...I'm wondering, if we could rewind time—would they still be dead?"

Armin did not answer.

Because he had thought about it too.

countless times.

But the answer will always be the same—

No.

They don't have that ability.

Even now, Eren doesn't have enough power to protect everyone.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

"So we must move forward."

Allen said, "There's no going back, no do-overs, no regrets."

He clenched his fist.

"But precisely because there are no second chances—every step must be taken in a way that is worthy of those who have died."

——One-Punch Man World——

Genos was stunned.

He had expected the teacher to say something profound, to analyze the player's threat, and to devise a strategy to deal with it.

result--

Cook?

"Teacher, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Saitama opened the refrigerator and peered inside.

"That player who can revert to a previous state! That fourth calamity! If that kind of guy appeared in our world..."

Saitama turned his head and glanced at him.

Confusion appeared on that perpetually expressionless face.

"Jenos".

"Yes!"

"If that person really comes, just punch him away. If you can't beat him, just punch him again."

Genos was stunned.

"But...but teacher, he can rewind time—"

"Then I'll keep fighting until he reverts to a previous save file," Saitama said. "Every time he reverts, I'll fight him once. Every time he reverts a hundred times, I'll fight him a hundred times. Every time he reverts ten thousand times—"

He paused.

"I'll hit it ten thousand times."

As he spoke, his bald head gleamed.

Genos opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.

As expected of a teacher.

I'm afraid I'll never learn this mindset in my entire life.

"Besides, such a thing doesn't exist in our world. It's not too late to consider it when it appears."

—Cowboy Bebop—

Spike, a cigarette dangling from his lips, gazed at the sky.

The cigarette had burned down to the filter, but he didn't spit it out.

"Spike?" Fie's voice came from behind.

He spat out the smoke.

“It’s nothing,” his voice was hoarse, “it just suddenly occurred to me that all the money we’ve worked so hard to earn, all the things we’ve done along the way—”

He paused.

"To them, it might just be an archive."

Jett remained silent.

“But precisely because you can’t do it all over again,” Spike said, “every single time is fucking worth it.”

…………

Most people in the world know this.

Their lives are not a game, and they are not the Fourth Calamity; they cannot be as outrageous as the beings on the celestial dome.

More arrogant than the gods, more absurd than the demons.

They can't do it.

Everything happens only once.

You can't roll back or start over.

It's a pity.

But we must keep going.

Every step they take, every moment they experience, and every choice they make is their own.

Even if I regret it, it doesn't matter.

Because that's their own path, and it's worth fighting for with all their might.

Life is only lived once, and that is the only life that truly belongs to you.

Chapter 31 What is a literary disaster?

【but--】

The sound suddenly came from the already dark sky, startling the audience.

Isn't it over yet?

As mentioned earlier, there is more than one route for the Fourth Calamity.

Creating an etheric engine to ignite the universe and achieve dimensional ascension is just one aspect of this process.

This route is known as the "War Disaster Route" because of its violence and sacrifices.

As is widely known, since ancient times, literature and martial arts have been inseparable.

Where there is military disaster, there will naturally be cultural disaster.

So... what is a literary disaster?

Next, please allow me to explain from a unique perspective.

"The Ether Engine was terrifying enough, but there's something even more formidable?!"

Countless people around the world were stunned and couldn't help but curse a few times.

How powerful must a civilization be to alter the laws of physics?

Modify, alter the laws of physics?

How can it be!

My name is Zhi, and I am the chairman, controlling shareholder, and owner of the only star-level company in the galaxy.

[Boss, where did the other companies go?]

"Of course I took them all down."

A red smiley face appeared on the screen, sending chills down one's spine.

As a competent capitalist, I think about the same question every day: how can I make more money?

I once naively believed that as long as I plundered more people and planets to make them work for me, I would have endless wealth.
