I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

"For every gain, there is a price to pay."

The resounding echoes, the voice of the end of the cycle, resounded once more, confirming Veneto's doubts.

"Would you trade my psychic powers for the fulfillment of any wish?"

With his eyes closed and head bowed, Veneto felt the power surging within him, and a sense of enlightenment dawned on him. The sheer magnitude of this power made Veneto feel that even without using his ship's equipment, he could confront and even destroy the cruisers of the Phantom Starships head-on.

In addition, this force seems to possess considerable potential, and if it continues to be developed, it will certainly have great potential.

Similarly, the end of the cycle did not conceal the value of the psychic energy within Veneto, and was willing to exchange it for the fulfillment of her wishes.

"If it can be achieved, I am willing to pay any price."

Although he understood that this force could mean a brighter future, Veneto still made his choice without hesitation.

If you don't use it when you need it, then power is meaningless!

Isn't power simply about striving for and protecting what you pursue?

"Breasts, thank you!"

With arms outstretched, Veneto suppressed his excitement, then closed his eyes, awaiting the next move of the End of Reincarnation.

"Then, the contract is established. You may do whatever you desire..."

The perfect harmony returned, and at the same time, a surge of powerful spiritual energy enveloped Veneto. The End of Reincarnation used its supreme power to try to change the reality surrounding Veneto.

Then, in the next moment, a long, deathly silence fell.

The power, enough to wreak havoc on most of the Milky Way and even distort the entire universe, was transmitted to Veneto, but it was as if he had brushed his hand through the air and missed.

No matter the posture, the power of the God of Rounds could not fulfill Veneto's wish.

It seems that God is not omnipotent.

The End of Reincarnation: ...

"Absolutely impossible!"

With a long sigh, Perfect Harmony revealed his helplessness, then withdrew his power: "The chosen one, whose contract is not yet complete, also lacks the power of the Void Realm."

Veneto's wish is fixed by an eternal rule. Even if the power of the Void Realm could forcibly break the rule's restrictions, the price would be enough to make the end of reincarnation pay an irreversible price.

At that time, the end of reincarnation may not disappear, but the entire virtual realm will definitely collapse completely.

"I will pay the price for this breach of contract."

"Is it impossible?"

After numerous failures, Veneto, though still somewhat disappointed, was at least no longer as desperate and helpless as he had initially. It was just a gamble, and now the result…

Well, it was somewhat expected.

Veneto exhaled softly, channeling his spiritual energy, preparing to leave this heartbreaking void forever. But before leaving, Veneto seemed to remember something and stopped in his tracks.

"By the way, is my condition very rare?"

"In the realm of illusion, there is only one such case throughout history."

The perfect harmony rang out once more, answering Veneto's question: "Besides that, the power of the Void Realm is omnipotent!"

"Is he omnipotent?"

As he fell into deep thought, Veneto recalled Laura's words of comfort. During his time living with Laura, Veneto had truly felt warmth.

Not only did she comfort herself when she was sad, but she also tried her best to help herself achieve her wishes. Looking back, Veneto always felt that he owed Laura a lot.

The psychic energy that pleased the end of the cycle of reincarnation reappeared in his hand. Veneto made up his mind and then asked, "In that case, can you grant me another wish?"

"Use the power of the Void Realm to the fullest extent."

The End of Reincarnation agreed again, but without its initial confidence. After the first failed attempt, the End of Reincarnation became noticeably more cautious.

The Lord of the Void Realm will not repeat the mistake of signing a contract before fulfilling a wish, only to find it ultimately unfulfilled.

Just like Veneto's wish before, even if you asked Kyubey to handle it, let alone Madoka, it might not be possible to fulfill it.

“My friend, Olivega Laura Loresia.”

After giving a brief description of Laura, Veneto asked, "She used to be troubled by her height. With the power of the Void Realm, is it possible to make a change, even if it's just a few centimeters?"

After he finished speaking, the virtual realm fell into a long, deathly silence once again.

"Could we change to something else? Or perhaps we could discuss the previous issue?"

Veneto: ...

Fantasy Interstellar, Home Port Planet

"General Washington, the city has been evacuated and the barricades are in place. Please give further instructions!"

"I understand. Maintain order and continue to observe the psionic convergence point."

"Yes!"

After moving his soldiers aside, Washington turned to Laura beside him and asked, "Miss Laura, may I ask what exactly happened here?"

"Um, maybe VV has entered the virtual realm?"

Laura sensed the powerful psionic energy reaction not far away and said somewhat uncertainly, "Awakening psionic energy while mentally unstable should make it possible to establish a link with the virtual realm."

Centered on his former house, the surging psionic energy spread rapidly and resolutely in all directions, gently pushing aside any obstructing creatures and destroying all inanimate matter along its path.

Ultimately, a psionic diffusion layer with a diameter of three kilometers was formed.

At least when Laura woke up, the young lady and Belfast were no longer around. All that was beside her was half a mattress that still retained some warmth and a blanket covering her.

What comes into view are lush green trees and dense shrubs that are completely unseen in the city.

Even her golden hair had a few leaves stuck to it.

It wasn't until Washington's Phantom Army found Laura that she learned she had been blown to an alien zoo five kilometers away.

Currently, Washington has ordered a curfew in the city and set up a 10-kilometer-long blockade.

Fortunately, the psionic storm caused by Veneto did not last long. Three days later, the massive psionic energy disappeared without any diminishing effect.

In the moments before they disappeared, all the ship girls on the home port heard a long sigh in their hearts and were infected by a deep sense of helplessness.

Ultimately, Laura and Washington found Veneto unharmed at the epicenter of the psionic storm. When Washington later questioned Veneto about the Void, Veneto simply said one thing.

"This is all there is to the Void Realm?"

That's it for now for the Veneto storyline. I just can't seem to encounter the Time Worm, and the situation with the Fallen Empire is rather complicated, so after thinking about it, I've decided to end this here.

After it was over, I was back to being a good person who recommended VV!

119. Global Giant Enterprise Vision

“vv, at the end of the cycle, I have done my best.”

Seeing Veneto's expressive face after learning the whole story, Laura didn't know what to say.

If Veneto had looked incredulous, Laura might not have been too worried, but now that Veneto was looking at her with pity, it really gave Laura the creeps.

Damn, could VV have gone mad from the shock?

"Yes, Laura, the End of the Cycle has indeed done its best."

Veneto patted Laura on the shoulder, said nothing more, and just let out a long sigh.

Although his insurmountable poverty was indeed quite painful, Veneto felt a sense of hope for the future when he thought about the veiled nature of Laura's affairs at the end of the cycle in the virtual realm.

After this incident, Veneto gradually accepted it all and stopped insisting on change.

In some ways, this is probably a good thing, right?

"While I'm glad you're facing yourself honestly, there are some things I still need to let you know."

Just as Laura was feeling both happy and worried about Veneto's change, Washington took out a report and placed it in front of Veneto, saying...

"This psionic storm occurred in the main urban area and almost destroyed the most valuable urban areas. Although there were no casualties, the economic losses were huge."

In front of the pale-faced Veneto, Washington flipped through the forms page by page: "According to the statistics, you will need to pay at least three thousand energy coins in compensation."

"At the same time, the flagship Lexington made it clear that Laura could not use the Phantom Black Card and had to truly provide sufficient resources."

Three thousand energy coins...

After shakily calculating just how enormous this fortune was, Veneto nearly fainted.

Energy coins are a special type of resource unit, essentially an energy storage unit. Due to their immense value, ordinary ship girls typically do not have access to this type of currency.

Under normal circumstances, Huanmeng Starcraft establishes an energy mining station on a main sequence star and can harvest 2 to 3 energy coins per month.

As a newly created battleship prototype ship girl, Veneto has a one-year voice subsidy from Fantasy Starcraft, and can receive a total consumption quota of 36 Fantasy Starcraft Coins for free within a year.

This is still the treatment given to the original battleship. Even the most ordinary replica ship, even a battleship, would only cost 24.

One Energy Coin is worth approximately 30 to 40 billion Fantasy Coins on the market. Considering the acquisition methods and its strategic value, it can even be exchanged for 50 billion Fantasy Coins on the black market.

"Lola, why don't we run away? Three thousand energy coins, I can't even afford to buy them back even if I sell them."

On the verge of tears, Veneto hugged Laura and said, "Or I could try to contact the Void Realm again and see if I can exchange my psionic energy for some energy coins."

"How about we take Washington hostage now and see if we can steal a spaceship to escape from homeport? I don't want to spend my next life in prison..."

"..."

Hearing Veneto's remarks, Washington felt utterly bewildered. "I'm right here, and you're talking about kidnapping me and committing treason right in front of me?"

"Ahem, not only that, the neutron-state matter research samples in the city's experimental laboratory were also completely destroyed. This technology had previously received a lot of manpower and resources from the Fantasy Starry Sky..."

Seeing Washington's serious expression, determined to get to the bottom of this, Laura couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

This wasn't something said to Veneto; it was clearly a ploy to get him to use technology to ransom Veneto.

It seems they couldn't research anything on the Civilization Ark ship before, and felt like they'd been fooled, so they want to get some more out of me.

Oh well, I'll just consider it an upgrade to my ship's hull.

Shaking her head helplessly, Laura opened the long-dormant Noah Technology Tree, spending four civilization command points to unlock the fourth-tier hull of the Dawn.

At the same time, Laura spent two more civilization command points to activate the front armor of the sixth-tier special ship body.
