I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

Well... at the very least, someone is trying to stabilize the situation.

Because the mastermind behind the scenes is gathered together, it is difficult to defeat them one by one, so it can only wander around and destroy universes. But this does not mean that the universes will just watch.

You destroy our universe, I destroy your army, what's wrong with that?

The system is the first to be affected.

After Bai Mu died, the system developed a deep hatred for the mastermind behind the scenes, wishing it could skin him alive, tear him apart, and devour his flesh and drink his blood.

She was like a madwoman, destroying the forces of the mastermind behind everything, causing a crisis that swept across the entire universe, and almost had them all wiped out by the system alone.

There must have been other people holding the system back, otherwise they probably would have already rushed over to fight the mastermind to the death.

In short, both sides had their wins and losses, but the losses on the side of the greater universe were greater.

However, as casualties on both sides continued to rise, tensions also escalated.

The Royal Knights of the Digital World were almost all killed in battle, and many legendary Pokémon were nearly wiped out... The top beings of countless worlds have fallen, and the deep-seated hatred and blood feud cannot be glossed over in a single sentence.

The atmosphere around the outer reaches of the universe grew increasingly heavy. Everyone clearly sensed that the atmosphere was becoming somewhat out of control, and if it were to build up any further, an unstoppable major conflict would erupt.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this should be the final battle...

As for when this major conflict will erupt... that depends on the trigger...

------

Thirty-seven years have passed since the outbreak of the Great Cosmic War, and a full thirty-six years have passed since Bai Mu died. In the twenty-first year, everyone felt that a conflict that no one could stop was about to break out, but unexpectedly, this conflict was endured for more than ten years.

However... no matter how much one can endure, there is a limit. And in that year, in a mysterious war, the two sides launched a major battle for a seemingly insignificant strategic point.

What started as a small skirmish between military units gradually escalated into a battle between warships, then into a cosmic-level conflict, then into a multiverse-level battle, and finally, into a macrocosm-level battle...

Because this war, the final battle, has finally begun!

------

In the thirty-eighth year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the final battle unfolds. The mastermind behind the scenes, along with countless villains, attacks the Ultraman Great Universe. The four mysterious Ultras and Delacion fight desperately on the front lines. Countless universes extend a helping hand to rescue them, but they are no match for the enemy's overwhelming force. Noah and Saga are killed in battle, and half of the Ultraman Great Universe is destroyed. Legend and King Ultra lead the remaining universe survivors away.

The first line of defense in the vast universe has been largely breached.

In the thirty-ninth year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the mastermind behind the scenes once again arrived with overwhelming force. The Ultraman Great Universe fought to the death, relentlessly blocking the enemy's offensive and building a wall with their lives. In the end, the Ultraman Great Universe was completely destroyed. Legend and King Ultra died in battle, and Delacion held out until the very last moment. The Absolute Race, the Ultra Race, and a small force of Delacion fled to other universes and continued their tenacious resistance.

Forty-two years into the Great Universe Conflict, the mastermind behind the battle against the Ultraman Great Universe, who had suffered some casualties, recovered and launched another attack. The other universes once again fought back. This time, the Dragon Ball Great Universe was the main force, with the twelve Gods of Destruction, the twelve angels, and the archangels fighting on the front lines. However, their desperate battle could not prevent the destruction of the Great Universe. Three years after the war began, the Dragon Ball Great Universe collapsed.

In the 45th year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the same year that the Dragon Ball universe collapsed, the Pokémon world was also destroyed.

In the 46th year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the Digital World was destroyed.

In the 48th year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the Godkiller Universe and the Type-Moon Universe were destroyed together.

In the forty-ninth year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, all the great universes realized that they could no longer continue fighting alone. They began to build strong defensive lines centered on the remaining powerful great universes, helping and watching each other to maintain vigilance.

In the fiftieth year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the massive attack by the mastermind behind the scenes met with the fiercest resistance. Countless beings fought bravely, risking their lives. In the same year, the universes repelled the mastermind for the first time, and the Great Cosmics' war against destruction seemed to have hope.

However, in the fifty-second year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the mastermind behind the failure returned with even greater power. He fought against all the universes alone, and his villains continued to slaughter life in the universes. The battle line, which had been built for less than three years, was on the verge of collapse.

In the same year, in order to preserve more power to continue the fight, the Gundam universe self-destructed, using the explosion to block the mastermind's offensive and assist other universes in escaping.

Thus, the Great Cosmic Alliance front suffered a total defeat.

From the 53rd to the 68th year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, countless universes were destroyed by the mastermind behind the scenes. The universes no longer have the power to fight against the mastermind behind the scenes, and they can only eke out a living.

Within 68 days of the start of the conflict, the Great Universes had already been defeated.

No one knows how to stop the mastermind, no one knows how to fight the mastermind.

The system survived time and time again in the constant battles, and as the universes perished one by one, she transformed from a madwoman who could charge into a leader.

She no longer cared about fighting the mastermind behind the scenes, nor about avenging the White Curtain.

It's not that she forgot her hatred, nor that she gave up her obsession, but rather... she now bears the weight of countless lives on her shoulders.

She cannot be willful, nor is she allowed to be willful... Her life no longer belongs to her alone...

In the sixty-ninth year of the Great Cosmic Conflict, the surviving beings of the Great Cosmos, along with countless lives displaced by the destruction of their homelands, formed the final battlefront—the Great Cosmic Life Front—and named this place the final fortress of the Great Cosmos, the "Life Barrier."

In the same year, the mastermind descended upon the [Barrier of Life]...

------

The final battle line of life in the vast universe, the last battle line of beings resisting destruction. The enemy they face is no longer an endless mechanical army, no longer an immortal void creature, but the final enemy that has always hidden its true face and never shown itself.

In the long struggle, the universes fought bravely and relentlessly, sacrificing countless lives and showing unwavering tenacity to annihilate all the beings recruited by the mastermind behind the scenes. But the only enemy that started this war... they could not defeat.

The mastermind behind the scenes is too powerful, so powerful that no one can rival them, so powerful that no one can destroy them. People despair time and time again in their struggles, and then... they await destruction.

The system led the surviving beings from various universes to face the final enemy; she knew this might be the end.

The once glorious universes are now few and far between; the universes that once housed countless lives are now just ruins.

This is the final battle, this is the final struggle...

After this battle, this world will no longer have a vast universe...

They were already in despair, but they would not give up... The enemy before them was one they had to defeat, an enemy they had to take a piece of their flesh from, even if it meant death.

There was no life in anyone's eyes; all they possessed was an unwavering determination.

They died here, with nowhere left to retreat!

Everyone thought this was the end, even the system thought this was the end. However, just when everyone had given up hope, just when the system was preparing to lead the others in a charge, a voice suddenly rang out behind the system.

"Hey, Commander, it's been so long..."

A white curtain suddenly appeared behind the system...

------

The war was over. The moment the white curtain appeared, the mastermind knew that the war was over. He could no longer destroy the last remaining life. This battle to destroy everything had come to an end.

The system was surprised and taken aback by the appearance of the white curtain. She never thought that she would see the white curtain again one day.

Even though she didn't know if it was a dream or a hallucination, she couldn't help but throw herself into Bai Mu's arms.

Then, smelling that familiar scent, she knew that this was Bai Mu, and the person in front of her was Bai Mu!

Bai Mu gently patted the system's back, softly comforting her. Then, under the watchful eyes of the surviving beings and the system, Bai Mu stepped forward and began his battle with the mastermind behind the scenes.

The two of them soared into the void, engaging in a fierce battle in that hazy, gray world. No one knows the outcome of the battle, no one knows what they did, and no one knows where the mastermind went. The only thing known is that the mastermind vanished, and the White Curtain returned once more.

The war is over... just as the mastermind and the white curtain had planned, the war is over.

The surviving beings came back to life, and the dead beings and the universe also came back to life... With her own power, Bai Mu resurrected the destroyed universe and the beings who died in battle.

This is godlike power... no, it should be said that this is power that surpasses that of gods.

In that hazy space, Bai Mu clearly realized one thing: the mastermind behind the scenes... was actually the other side of the universe.

That space is a space of life and death, a space of creation and destruction.

The birth of the universe represents life and creation. All things are interconnected, and life and death are intertwined. The power of life transformed into a miracle, creating the universe. But what about the power of death and destruction?

Where did this force go?

The answer is obvious; once you realize that, the answer is already there.

The power of death and destruction has become the mastermind behind everything...

That's why He said the destruction of the universe was inevitable, and that's why He said it was the rule.

Because He, representing the destruction of the universe, was born to destroy the universe.

This is why the mastermind behind the scenes can single-handedly contend with countless universes and destroy them to such an extent.

However, in that space, Bai Mu unexpectedly obtained the miracle of life and creation. Although he did not know why such a miracle occurred, he obtained this power. It was with this power that he was able to end the crisis and revive countless universes.

However, life and death... are intertwined and intertwined, an inseparable existence. The mastermind behind the scenes has departed, but one day, He will return with a vengeance...

Time flies, and before we knew it, ten years had passed.

For some long-lived species, ten years is just a slightly longer period of time, but for humans, ten years is enough to change an era.

Ten years later, in Japan.

Compared to ten years ago, Japan's development has not been very fast, but it has been steadily progressing. Some old things have disappeared, but some new things have been added.

The people coming and going, the towering skyscrapers—all exuded a tranquil yet bustling atmosphere.

Cherry blossoms fall, a gentle breeze blows, and this place, standing tall in Yamato Province, quietly displays its charm.

However, compared to Japan before, the biggest difference at this moment is not that the people here are smiling with joy, but that this country is no longer plagued by disasters.

The disaster that suddenly appeared more than a decade ago and then just as suddenly disappeared feels like a dream.

However, according to the records, this was not a dream; it was all real. More than a decade ago, a global catastrophe did indeed occur, and heroes did indeed appear. But, for some reason, they disappeared.

While ordinary people feel regret over their disappearance, they are also quite willing to accept it.

The most precious peace is one without heroes or disasters.

However, contrary to what people speculated, the heroes did not disappear. Did they disappear? No, the heroes did not actually disappear.

However, the heroes have all returned to their daily lives.

Eriri mustered the courage to face herself and was full of confidence. Today, she is a world-renowned painter.

Yukino took over the Yukinoshita Club again. Although she was as shrewd as before, she knew what she could and couldn't do. She expanded the club in Chiba City, and today, the Yukinoshita family has become a well-known large family and conglomerate in Japan, with a good reputation in society.

The old man was quietly recuperating in the countryside. Because of what happened ten years ago, and the appearance of Ultraman, the old man's voice in society had become louder and louder. Even if the Japanese government disliked him, it had to accept his advice because of public opinion. Now in his eighties and nineties, the old man has completely retired from society and is enjoying his retirement. His children and Yang Nai and others visit him on weekdays.

Just as she had made up her mind from the beginning, Nino became the new ruler of demons and monsters in Kyoto. Although she ostensibly ran a cake shop, her true identity was that of the ruler of demons and monsters. Meanwhile, Hagoromo Gitsune watched Nino with peace of mind, continuing her decision to love humans.

As for Hachiman... well, it turns out that even with the power of a knight, Hachiman couldn't change his future as a stay-at-home dad.

Hikigaya and Yukino met through Haruno, and then, through a series of coincidences, the two came together.

Although Haruno has said countless times that she wants to kill Hachiman, she is actually quite satisfied that her younger sister is able to get together with Hachiman.

After all, they've been friends for so many years, and she felt completely at ease entrusting her younger sister to Hachiman.

------

Ten years have passed. The cherries have ripened, the banana leaves have turned green, and people are living their own lives, as is the case with Bai Mu.

After the war ended, he established contact with various universes and gained their friendship. He would visit them often, whether he had something to do or not, and lived a very leisurely life.
