I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Please make your voice heard.

The Law of Circles: Finally...finally...ah~~! I have finally reappeared, I have finally returned.

The Law of Cycles: @Makoto, do you still remember me? Yukino-senpai?

The Law of Circles: @Sister's Ultimate Kill!!! Do you remember me? Senior Takasaka?

Can you save the world? (Banned)

-----Chocolate and alcohol have been unbanned-------

-----Police officer's ban lifted-------

[Therefore, this theme-based chat group activity has now concluded. No further opportunities for critical hits will be available during the event period.]

Can you save the world? Hmm... what's going on? Can anyone explain this? Is this really a new mission from the military? Do I need to do any tests?

Chocolate and alcohol: Could I have something to eat? If you don't have chocolate, some alcohol will do too.

Police officer: I am a member of the Tendo family in Tokyo Ward. As the family that truly governs Tokyo, you think my great-great-grandfather would be willing to talk to you.

The Darkness of the Circle: A New Member? Ah~~! How wonderful, a new member indeed. If it weren't for this concept of searching for new members, even I would probably never have been able to enter this place.

Genuine (Yukino Yukinoshita): Huh? The Darkness of the Circle? You... are Darkness?

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Yami, you're not dead?

Genuine (Yukino Yukinoshita): Huh? What about the [Sword Master] and [Phantom Sword Style]? Why didn't they appear with you? I remember that those two martial arts factions were the strongest in the group back then.

Darkness of the Circle: Ah~~! I'm sorry everyone, [Sword Master] and [Phantom Sword Style] are completely dead because of me.

Masato (Yukino Yukinoshita): Hmm... I expected it, but I'm still a little sad. But, Yami, it's best that you survived.

Darkness of the Circle: That's what I think too, Yukino-senpai.

Police officer: I apologize for interrupting your reunion, but please explain the situation in detail. What exactly is this holographic image that appeared in front of my eyes?

Chocolate and alcohol: food, food, food, food... Is this tin can edible?

Can you save the world?: Although I don't know why we can chat with everyone through this, after scrolling through so many chats, I can confirm that everyone in this group is a very nice person.

Can you come and save the world? I like you guys.

Chocolate and alcohol: Ah~~! I see a paradise of grilled fish, mountains of chocolate, and a sea of ​​chocolate, with clouds of scalding alcohol rising from the mountains. How wonderful! I'm going to close my eyes...

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Don't fall asleep!!! Right now, open the second-level page of your chat group, sign in, and then go to the shop to buy items. I remember that many food items are considered miscellaneous items and are very cheap.

Chocolate and alcohol: Really? I'll try it right now.

Nana (No Powers): Ahem, hello everyone, fellow newcomers. To avoid making you nervous, let me first introduce myself. I am Nana, a non-powered individual residing in the Earth series world. Nice to meet you.

Nana, the powerless one: I know everyone might still be a little panicked right now. To be honest, for ordinary people, especially those like me without superpowers, the so-called "Multiverse Chat Group" does seem a bit like a scam. But this time is different. You have indeed encountered an anomaly in the world. This is a chat group where countless worlds, countless dimensions, countless different universes, countless people with different personalities and habits, and even non-humans, are gathered together.

Nana, who has no abilities: This is also where miracles begin.

Chapter Three: The World Is No Longer Worth Saving

Gastrea, Tokyo Special District.

Tiantong Civil Security Company

Kisara Tendo sat in his company president's chair, his brows furrowed in a twisted expression.

She was a beautiful girl dressed entirely in black.

Her straight hair was jet black and glossy, and her skin was as white and smooth as snow. Her face, neck, hands, and the white skin between her skirt and stockings were exposed. The rest of her body was unified in black by her beautiful attire and the girls' academy sailor uniform.

Apart from the red ribbon tied around her neck, her clothes were only black and white.

The narrow, upward-pointing eyes appear sharp.

Because of that look in her eyes, even though she has a cute smile, she always has a sullen expression.

Ever since her afternoon nap ended, she has looked increasingly sullen.

Because—a strange light screen appeared in front of her.

Then, a VR screen, seemingly from a science fiction movie, appeared before her eyes without any props.

She could turn it on and off at will, and she could understand the strange text displayed on the screen in a way that defied common sense.

The thing displayed on the screen, literally, resembled a chat room from before the great war that destroyed the world and forced humanity off the world stage.

But, strangely enough.

Although Kisara Tendo was born into a pure generation after the war, having never experienced it, as a member of the Tendo clan who held power in Tokyo, he was naturally well-informed.

While the war spurred advancements in many war and biotechnologies, this kind of brain-intervention technology, where a light screen appears directly in the mind, and VR technology, is far too advanced.

And... why did this thing appear in her mind?

Although she was a member of the Tendo family, she had long since left the family and had been dedicated to killing members of the Tendo family. Those who knew her purpose called her "Tendo the Killer".

Such cutting-edge technology, and the power to implant this thing in her brain without her knowledge, in the less than half an hour she was napping at the table, should absolutely not be used against her.

This is not in the other party's interest.

[The multiverse chat group has finished loading.]

[Chat group users, please open the chat group page and enjoy chatting with your group members.]

A sudden sound rang in her mind.

Tendo Kisaki frowned, revealing his handsome brows.

My gaze shifted to the chat group page that was already open.

My mind is calm.

Let me see what you really are.

........

The end times.

city

Snowflakes fell heavily from the sky.

Chito and Yuri, huddled together under their only cotton blanket, leaned against their beloved half-track motorcycle, awaiting the final moment.

Although both of them knew long ago that the world was beyond saving.

Although they both knew from the beginning that their journey could not have a hopeful end.

Although they both knew long ago that one day they would find no food or oil left, and could only lean on each other, waiting for death to come.

However, I never expected that this would happen so soon.

"Ah~! Chihiro, do you think people see hallucinations before they die?" The blonde little girl, wearing a World War II helmet, lay back on the motorcycle seat, staring blankly at the sky.

The relentless snow kept falling, as if trying to completely obscure this tower in the clouds.

"Probably, Yuri." The girl with braided hair named Chito curled up, trying to make her cold body and hungry stomach feel a little better.

Two days ago, her beloved half-track motorcycle was completely destroyed in the snow; a day ago, their food ran out; and half a day ago, when they looked into the distance, they could only see a vast, white, desolate world.

She knew that the final moment had finally arrived.

In the shadow of the motorcycle, she held the few remaining sheets of paper she had used for writing, muttering to herself, "I hope that these few entries in my diary can be seen by future generations in this world."

"Didn't you used to hate it when I read your diary?" Yuri turned around listlessly and looked at her companion.

“It’s different.” Qianhu shook his head slightly.

“Alright, let’s get back to the topic of illusions.” Yuri stretched out her pale, thin arm and made a couple of grasping motions in the void in front of her. “Wouldn’t it be great if the illusions I saw before I died were all sorts of feasts? Why did this strange thing called ‘Chat Group’ appear?”

"Chat group? What's that?" Qianhu raised his voice slightly, showing interest.

"It seems to be some kind of online chat software? Hmm? What is online software? How do I know about this?" Yuri sprang up and sat up halfway.

"Alright, since it's the last illusion, can't I at least dream about a delicious meal?"

Yuri pointed randomly in front of herself while muttering to herself.

"Ah~~! I see a paradise of grilled fish, I see mountains of chocolate, and a sea of ​​chocolate, with steaming clouds of alcohol rising from the mountains. It's so wonderful, I'm going to close my eyes..."

“Hypnotizing yourself is useless.” Chito curled up his body again, feeling powerless. “I think I’ve heard that these kinds of hallucinations before death are uncontrollable and represent the things one most desperately wants.”

"So, Yuri, what you really want is to chat with other people? I'm sorry, I never noticed that."

"Sign in, sign in!!"

"The mall!! The mall!!" Yuri's voice grew louder and louder: "Although I don't know what a mall is? Although I don't know what buying and selling means! But I can already smell the aroma of food!"

"Ah! Found it! What can I buy with five points?"

"Unlimited ammo Desert Eagle? Vampire bloodline? Internal energy? Gene lock?"

"What are all these things? Isn't there anything to eat? Or anything to keep warm?"

"Ah!!! Found it, the Doomsday Family Canned Food Combo Three-Year Pack! One point! Canned food is so cheap! I miss the taste of canned food so much."

"Portable graphene battery camping heater, suitable for a 10-square-meter area, lasts for a year! I don't understand what that means, but it must be great for heating. Two points."

"Advanced military field tent, suitable for ordinary and extreme weather. One point."

"Oh right, right, a half-track motorcycle, 1932 model, one point."

Ah! Food, warmth, and a motorcycle!

"Come out!"

Hearing Yuri's voice getting louder and louder, Chito helplessly closed his eyes.

----It's so cold, and I'm so hungry. Yuri has reached the final stage of her life, and I'm afraid I'll be there soon too.

Ah, although I don't want to die like this, but... there's really no other way.

Bang!

A sharp cracking sound, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, suddenly rang in her ears.

She didn't know where she got the strength, but she threw off the blanket that was already covered with snow and suddenly stood up.

Then, you see Yuri's round face, her eyes filled with tears, a mixture of bewilderment and joy, and a bunch of cans, a huge tent, and a brand new half-track motorcycle that suddenly appear in front of her.
