Getting back to the main point, over thousands of years, Potimas managed to develop a few decent technologies, and Karl memorized them while searching for those that interested him.
The robot technology codenamed Glorious Messenger was useless.
It's just a simple weapon. Its highest achievement is merely the robot that Karl just completely melted. Potimas created it to wear down the administrator with its self-repairing capabilities, and didn't even dare to confront it head-on.
This technology would be even more useless to Karl, as its combat effectiveness would be too low. He would never waste resources to create such a thing. Similarly, the other weapon technologies created by Potimas can also be ignored.
Fighter jets and drones are all out of the question; their combat capabilities don't meet his needs.
UFO technology is useless; what Carl needs is a spaceship capable of interstellar travel, and a spaceship that can't even travel at the speed of light is clearly inadequate for that.
Carl flipped through the pages quickly, partly because he had a super brain, and partly because these things simply didn't interest him.
Suddenly he slowed down and began to carefully observe the information on the screen. He finally found an interesting technology in the database: soul technology.
After a series of events, Karl has come to understand that in this world, the soul is the most important thing. All the god-level races are beings with powerful souls, and they are born with the ability to contain a large amount of energy.
Long ago, when the dragons first invaded, humans gradually came to understand the importance of the soul during the war, and they began to conduct extensive research in this area. Potimas also participated in these projects.
Ultimately, they found a way to interfere with the soul using technology, but unfortunately, they didn't research any products that would be beneficial to the war. The dragons quickly exploited them to the fullest extent and then left.
The remaining people were powerless, at which point Potimas proposed a solution: to create a soul mixer, throw the goddess into it, and use the goddess's energy to fill the planet.
Of course, magic and MA energy are different. They are like the difference between animal blood and plant sap. Magic cannot sustain the operation of a planet. Potimas knew this, so he planned to get the goddess's energy and run away. Unfortunately, at the critical moment of the plan, the goddess was intercepted by D and used to make the system core.
The Soul Mixer technology has been passed down to the present day. After being improved by Potimas, he set his sights on reincarnated individuals, intending to mix their special souls and integrate them into his own.
This is what interests Karl the most. This technology seems to be able to destroy a soul and extract its contents, which is very useful. There are also many people with special souls in his world.
The soul is an area he is not good at. He is not afraid of attacks in this area, but he has difficulty touching the soul. This technology is just what he needs to do.
Karl memorized the information in the database, closed his eyes to review it, and after confirming that there were no problems, he carefully destroyed the place with his thermal vision. He did not intend to leave anything useful for the elves, so he spent some time making sure that no intact equipment could be found in the entire underground base.
It's a pity the goddess wouldn't harm humans, otherwise she would have just blown up the base.
Karl returned to the ground. At this time, the goddess also entered the fairy village and was floating in the air with the demon king and the spider. She was firing energy guns intermittently to clear out the robots. Before each attack, she had to make sure that no one was around, which made her efficiency quite slow.
Upon seeing Karl appear, the goddess immediately stopped what she was doing, flew over, and asked, "Superman, where did you go? You disappeared in the blink of an eye after you put down the land."
Because of Karl's magic immunity, the goddess could not detect his location and could only search for him with the naked eye.
“I just cleaned up the database; the elves shouldn’t be able to build any new machines now,” Karl said.
"Teacher," said the spider clinging to the goddess, wanting to know her teacher's whereabouts.
"Don't worry, I'll go find her now," Karl said. The reincarnated beings were all confined to the same location by the elves, but the teacher's range of movement was vast, so they needed to be found.
Spider held out an arm to Karl and said, "Come along."
“Okay,” Karl agreed. He had gotten what he wanted, and there was nothing to hide from others about his next move.
He carefully took the spider from the goddess and said to her, "Then Sally, Ariel, I'll take the spider with me and leave now. Please take care of these robots."
Goddess Sally nodded: "Leave it to me with peace of mind. Please make sure the reincarnated ones are safe." Although the reincarnated ones are outsiders, to the goddess they are just people who forgot to drink the Meng Po soup when they were reincarnated. Since they have been reincarnated on this planet, they are humans of this planet and are beings she needs to protect.
Carl, carrying the spider, began to fly towards the residential area, using his super vision and X-ray vision to search for his reincarnated teacher.
While flying, Carl asked the spider, "Are you cold?"
Spider silently shook her head, only then realizing that she couldn't even feel the strong winds while flying.
"That's good," Karl said, pleased. Back on Earth in the DC, he had rarely flown with people. It was fine since the people he had flown with before were not ordinary people, but now that Spider-Man had lost his power, he still didn't feel any discomfort, which meant that he had a pretty good grasp of biofields.
Although he hadn't met the reincarnated teacher, the elven population was small and their lifespans were long, so there were very few infants. Karl flew around for a while and soon made some progress.
Quite coincidentally, this teacher was just checking on her students, which means that all the reincarnated beings in the Fairy Village are gathered together at this moment, so there's no need for her to make an extra trip.
Karl landed with Spider-Child. The reincarnated individuals were all placed in a small, seemingly outdated wooden hut. There were no traces of technology around. Several adult elves were responsible for taking care of all the reincarnated individuals who were still babies.
Spider babies are born from monsters, or perhaps from the Queen Spider Monster's skill. So they hatched immediately upon transmigrating and can move freely. In contrast, those who are reborn as ordinary people have to go through ten months of pregnancy before they can be born, so they are still infants who need to be cared for.
Chapter Thirty-Five: Kurumi Tokisaki's Plans
"Who goes there!" the elves roared, but their fierce tone was tinged with fear.
Potimas used the spirits as tools, but even tools have levels. The spirits responsible for taking care of the reincarnated ones were the lowest level, mass-produced products among mass-produced products.
Their purpose in existence is to cultivate skills. Some skills in the system are quite useful, such as spatial skills and external skills. However, Potimas is narrow-minded and does not want the elves to possess too much power, so these elves do not even know about technology.
The moment the system stopped working meant they lost their powers and became ordinary people, which was enough to make them uneasy.
Not to mention the land rising up, the barrier disappearing, and thunderous roars echoing from afar. They had no idea what to do; things had gone beyond their comprehension.
At this moment, all they could do was instinctively raise their voices, like small animals in nature hoping to scare away predators through camouflage.
Carl entered the room, with Spider quietly following behind him, half a body length behind.
“I didn’t really want to say this, but considering what you’ve done… get out!” Karl’s fiery gaze shattered the walls of the room as he warned the elves.
"Let's go! We're leaving right now!" The elves scrambled away, completely unaware of how important the reincarnated ones were to Potimas; their own lives were far more precious than these foreign infants.
But they won't live much longer. Humans have long harbored hatred for elves, and once they discover that the elves have lost their armor, they will soon be the first to attack. At that point, even the goddess will have difficulty stopping them.
Now that the system is running, the human race may have become the strongest of the three races. Due to their relatively low overall ability values, they are the least affected and still retain the largest population. The number of soldiers in the ancient war is very important. The other two races, one taking the elite route and the other the technology route, are not very suitable for the current version.
Even if the elves aren't wiped out, they won't fare well, so it's not suitable for the reincarnated ones to stay here. They're still just babies a few months old.
The babies in the room were mostly human, except for one blonde baby girl with pointed ears. She was the reincarnated elf teacher that Spider-Man was looking for.
"Wakaba... classmate?" she said with difficulty, using her still-developing organs.
Wakaba Himeiro is the name in Spider Girl's memories of her past life. In reality, it's the disguised name D used when she was a high school student, but it doesn't matter and makes no difference to other reincarnated individuals.
After Spider-Son transforms, she looks exactly like Wakaba Himeiro, except that she has white hair and red eyes. It's normal that the teacher would recognize her at this point.
"Mmm," the spider replied softly.
This was already considered very warm to her; if it were someone she didn't know well, she definitely wouldn't have reacted at all.
At this moment, countless questions welled up in the mind of the elf teacher.
Why did the system suddenly stop? Why is the student from my past life here looking so much like she did before? Who is the person next to her with the "S" mark on their body? Why do they seem so hostile towards elves?
However, no matter how many questions she had, her physical condition prevented her from asking them.
Spider was very satisfied with the situation; no questions meant she didn't need to answer, which was definitely good news for someone with social anxiety.
Karl stepped forward and explained a few words to the reincarnated individuals: "I know you must have many questions, but the situation is urgent and I don't have time to explain everything to you one by one. Simply put, this world is not the game-like world you imagine."
"The system has completed its mission and has stopped operating. The elves aren't exactly good people either, as you should already know, since you were all kidnapped. Anyway, I'm taking you away to a safe place now. One last piece of advice: don't harbor any illusions that you're the protagonist. Just live your lives honestly from now on."
After saying this, he placed the cradles of the reincarnated ones into a large box and prepared to leave with them.
"Wait...wait...the other...reincarnated ones." Just then, the elf teacher spoke again with difficulty. After the system stopped running, she lost the cheat skill of seeing the students' general status. There were still many students she hadn't found, and she was really worried about them.
Karl didn't stop what he was doing, multitasking as he said to her, "Just focus on yourself. Everyone else has their own lives to live. The future is uncertain. Even if you want to help, you have to wait until you're capable. Don't rush into things. Do you know how many people on this continent you've indirectly harmed by your reckless trust in the elves? They're not NPCs!"
Karl said something slightly inappropriate, carrying a bit of personal emotion from watching anime in his past life, which was not good, so he stopped immediately.
However, that one sentence was enough to shut the elf teacher up. She actually knew that elves sometimes used very cruel methods to collect reincarnated people, but she had been deliberately ignoring it for her own actions, convincing herself that it was necessary to protect her students.
When Karl pointed it out to her, she could no longer ignore it. She was doing evil and had hurt others for her own purposes. The elf teacher fell into deep self-loathing.
Now everyone quieted down, and Karl flew out of the Fairy Village with the reincarnated ones and Spider-Child. He found Tokisaki Kurumi, who was still there, and entrusted them to her.
"Kurumi, I'm entrusting you with keeping an eye on these reincarnated individuals," Karl said.
"Sure," Kurumi Tokisaki readily agreed. "But could you do me a small favor too?"
"What kind of help is it? Please tell me," Carl asked.
"It's the anti-magic barrier device that Potimas used before. That thing can affect the power of elves like me. I'm very interested in it. Could you help me find a copy?" Tokisaki Kurumi said.
Karl thought for a moment. Based on what he knew, Tokisaki Kurumi's goal was to travel to the past, kill the original spirit of her world, and erase all the tragedies. Regardless of whether this plan was feasible under the time paradox, that was her intention.
So, the reason why Tokisaki Kurumi wanted to obtain the anti-magic barrier was probably to increase her chances of winning against the initial spirits.
“Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for you,” Karl readily agreed.
He didn't think that once Tokisaki Kurumi obtained the barrier, she would be qualified to challenge the initial spirits. If she suffered a crushing defeat, he could then use the pretext of helping her to go to the world of Date A Live.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Farewell
The goddess's efficiency in cleaning the machinery was already slow. When Karl returned to the Fairy Village, he found that the goddess was entangled with Qiu Lie, who had just arrived. Qiu Lie seemed as excited as Ariel before, pestering the goddess with endless greetings and pleasantries. The somewhat rigid goddess responded earnestly to each of his questions, and it seemed that this would not end anytime soon.
The task of cleaning up the machinery in the fairy village fell back to Karl, but that was fine. The elves really annoyed him, so he was happy to teach them a lesson.
When I first encountered these elves, they were abducting children. Although their targets were reincarnated individuals, they were also targeting children all over the world to cover their tracks.
All the reincarnated individuals have just been found, and the whereabouts of the remaining children, Karl, have also been discovered. They are all dead, with no survivors. Moreover, their bodies have been used by Potimas to develop cyborg technology, and some of the robots are equipped with brains instead of chips.
Ariel has her reasons for hating elves; as an unnatural race, they really do inhuman things. If Karl were in his own world, he would definitely wipe them out.
Now, let the humans of this world take on this task. Karl's job is to remove the elves' fangs and make them pay the price later.
So he did it very seriously, carefully scanning the entire Fairy Village with his X-ray vision, eliminating all the weapons bit by bit.
Over the years, there has been a considerable amount of machinery here. Various high-energy-consuming weapons are manufactured in large quantities, with no regard for energy. Apart from the unique Shikigami Robot, all other weapons are measured in thousands.
It took Karl almost an hour to clear out all the technological weapons, leaving only an anti-magic barrier device, which was what Tokisaki Kurumi had asked for. Karl had taken one out of one of Potimas's mechanical clones for her.
The Fairy Village now only has a bunch of scrap metal to look like. That's what makes it a bit like a fantasy world where elves are supposed to be. What kind of elves are they if they always use technology?
"Sally, Mr. Qiu Lie, are you finished? I'm done here and can leave now," Karl said to the goddess and the others as he flew into the air.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was just too excited to finally see Sally," Qiu Lie apologized.
Ariel said with an exaggerated expression, "Finally, we can leave. I've been listening to this for so long."
She didn't like Qiu Lie very much, especially now. She always felt that he was trying to steal her mother away, even though she didn't think Qiu Lie could win the heart of her goddess.
The group first went to the forest outside Fairy Village to meet up with Spider Girl and the others, and then began to discuss their plans for the future.
"The system has shut down, the planet's energy has been replenished, and the only remaining energy source, the Elven race, has been dealt with. The planet has now been officially reborn, and a new era is beginning," Qiu Lie said.
Having witnessed the planet's evolution from the technological age to the system age, and now to the new era, the group of people felt a little sentimental. However, they quickly adjusted their mood, realizing that the current situation was much better than before, and the planet's future development was promising.
"The outcome seems to be a happy one for everyone. The only problem is that the energy was obtained by you, Superman, from the Dragon Clan, which may cause some follow-up issues," Qiu Lie said to Karl.
He was also a dragon and understood the importance of MA energy to dragons. For example, the planet beneath his feet was actually a relatively remote rural area in the universe, but even so, hundreds of dragons came back then to obtain MA energy.
