I'm just an internet cafe owner

However, even as the weaker party, players have their own ways of defeating stronger enemies.

Technology! Equipment! Items! Skills.

The final boss challenge may require collecting supplies for days or even months. By constantly honing your skills and ultimately relying on rigorous training and various items, you can overcome the gap in sheer strength and defeat the powerful opponent.

The two Titans were very strong, but unfortunately, even in a weakened state, they were no match for Althu. One Titan was destroyed in less than three seconds.

At that moment, he heard two bells ring.

Gray teardrops fell to the ground, and within two seconds the teardrops transformed into human shapes.

The two clone teardrops glanced at the original body, Riku's defensive weapon drew the Demon Sword, and Shubi drew the Yamato.

At the same moment, the main body also drew its corresponding weapon. Riku and Shubi simultaneously paid the special item usage fee, preparing to launch an attack on Altshu.

Both Ricks rushed forward at the same time. Altshu's strength was weakened, his body was not invincible, and the constant parries in the first round and Shubi's execution had not yet restored Altshu's physical resilience.

Both Ricks simultaneously launched upward attacks, and Altshu didn't block, attacking with all his might. However, the clone tear rushed forward, taking the hit head-on, while Rick, in the instant the clone tear was shattered, lifted him up, and Altshu's body floated in mid-air.

Two Shubi wielding Yamato swords rushed forward immediately.

Devil May Cry Theory Test 1 begins.

The so-called "Subject One" refers to using Virgil to perform a series of skill attacks to ultimately...

Successfully unleashing the final phantom sword while keeping the enemy airborne constitutes passing the test.

The two Hughes, when working together, can not only pass the test, but also achieve a synergistic effect of 1+1>2.

Shubi and Tearful Shubi simultaneously drew the Yamato, a weapon capable of severing spatial forces, instantly cutting through space itself. It also possesses the special ability to separate—a weapon that can separate humans from demons, and also separate body from spirit.

Each attack attempted to strip away his essence, something no one could do at full strength. But when he was weak and his body lacked super armor, the two Shubi continuously used the properties of the Yamato to strip away his essence.

Once, twice, three times, Altshu was hit hundreds of times in a few seconds while floating in the air. These hundreds of attacks made him unstable because he had released the essence of the Divine Strike.

At the moment of completing the final combo, accompanied by flashes of sword light and the severing of space, the two Yama Blades separated their essence from their flesh.

Altshu's body and soul have now been separated, an act that startled him for a moment before he burst into laughter.

As his essence was stripped away, he knew he had lost.

It's strange. The opponent is clearly so weak, and even the weapon he just pulled out isn't particularly powerful. Cutting through space? That would be difficult for an ordinary person, but for him, he can do it, and on a much larger scale.

But this seemingly insignificant yet extraordinary power can strip him of his essence. Is this the story of the weak overcoming the strong?

At this moment, he felt extremely pleased. He had lost, and lost so easily and so completely. But for him, this was something to celebrate.

He had always longed for an opponent who could be his equal or even defeat him, regardless of strength or means, as long as he could be defeated.

A weak monkey, a scrap metal robot.

He felt the power of his essence weakening, and he was getting weaker and weaker. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling into a deep sleep, he remembered the appearances of Rick and Shubi. With his mind completely satisfied, Altshuu lost all vitality and the God of War died.

It's not accurate to say it's dead; the loss of vitality in the brain doesn't count as death, but how long it will take to recover is unknown.

However, both Riku and Shubi knew that once they obtained the Star Grail, even if the God of War returned, it would be no match for them. Moreover, they also had trump cards, but the addition of the Machine Race prevented them from using them.

They were customers of an internet cafe, and the internet cafe was where the truth of the circle resided.

With the fall of the gods, the Paradox Engine released the time stop, the planet was pierced through in that instant, and the Elf Corridor vanished completely. All life in this world looked in this direction, and every living being sensed the change in the world.

However, an unexpected event occurred. Although the Star Grail appeared, it did not appear before Riku and Shubi. It didn't even appear in the hands of the Machine Race, the Flying Race, or the representatives of the various races.

A figure resembling a child tried to snatch the Star Cup back, but the body was held down.

A voice that sounded like a child asked, "Who am I, and why do I exist?"

This voice froze all the Machine Race members in their tracks, because in their memory bank, this being was none other than their creator.

The creator of the Machine Race, she was the first and most ancient life form in this world. She had always wondered about one thing: Who am I, and why do I exist?

In her quest for meaning, she used all her strength to pierce her own divine essence. But gods are immortal, and the exploration of the unknown brought about by technology restored the power to this god's divine essence.

Having regained her strength, she witnessed the defeat of victory and the appearance of the Star Cup.

The Star Cup? She didn't need it at all. She didn't need the power to control the world. She just wanted to know who she was and why she existed in this world.

Regardless of whether the couple before her can answer her question, she will return the Star Cup. Right now, she is merely using the Star Cup as leverage, hoping that the humans before her—this machine she herself created and which has developed humanity over countless generations—will answer her question.

If I can find an answer to this problem... then death doesn't seem so bad.

Chapter 250 Fanlou: Who Am I?

Who am I? This question sounds simple. "I" can refer to myself, or it can refer to Rick, or Schwi, or to every life that exists in this world.

However, how to answer the question posed by this being, the world's first life form, or even a being akin to a creator god, is a very important one.

But at that very moment, Rick and Hugh both received notices to open a store.

"4D Space Internet Cafe is now open! Come and have some fun, everyone!"

The two exchanged a glance upon seeing the message, and then Rick and Shubi simultaneously extended an invitation to this non-existent god.

"We can't answer your question very well, but if you need it, you can come with us to another world."

"Another world? That's fine..."

The moment she agreed, Shubi, Rick, and the unknown god appeared simultaneously in the internet cafe.

Upon entering the internet cafe, Rick and Shubi finally saw his appearance.

On the surface, she appears to be a scantily clad young girl, but in reality, her body is very...

Stable, yet seemingly on the verge of dissipating.

When they arrived at the internet cafe, Liu Yuan was already waiting at the door to greet them.

"Welcome to Mind Space Internet Cafe."

Liu Yuan sensed the appearance of this goddess girl in the internet cafe, and with Rick and Shubi's request, he was told to wait there in advance.

Rick said to the girl beside him, "This person in front of you can answer your questions. He can tell you who you are and why you were born into this world."

"Hello."

The girl greeted Liu Yuan politely. She could sense that the person in front of her was no different from an ordinary human. So, could this human really answer her questions?

"Do you know who I am?"

"of course I know."

Liu Yuan pointed to the lounge, led the girl there, and sat down with her, looking at each other at eye level.

"I know you are the god of that world, the first life or god in the world. You have the ability to create, and can create beings like the Machine Race, which have infinite possibilities and can analyze all the rules of the world. But before that, I want to ask you a question: Who am I?"

"You are human."

At this moment, the girl looked at Liu Yuan with confusion.

However, Liu Yuan's gaze calmed her down. Liu Yuan slowly shook his head and said, "Just like you are a god, I am a human being, the owner of this shop. I want to make money, I like to look at big girls, I am lecherous, I love to eat, and I even like to bully the staff for not paying. So, if you take away this title, this identity, who am I?"

"do not know."

"So the next question is, who am I?"

"You've already answered this question."

The girl looked at Liu Yuan with confusion, while Liu Yuan continued in a slightly different tone, "No! I was asking about the id just now, now it's the ego."

"Is there any difference?"

Liu Yuan moved closer to the girl, staring into her eyes, and said, "For example, when I use my code name to communicate with you, you also use my code name to communicate. Does this mean that you are me, and I am you?"

At that moment, the girl fell silent.

As a deity, she had never considered these things. If Liu Yuan's theory holds true, even if I call myself and he calls me, he is not me and I am not him. They are two completely independent individuals.

"If this question is difficult to answer, let me ask a few other questions: Where did you come from and where will you die? Why did I come into this world? What does my appearance mean to this world? Did the world choose me or did I choose the world? Is there a necessary connection between me and the universe? Does the universe have an end? Does time have a length? Where does past time disappear? Where does future time stop? Are the questions I'm asking now the same questions you just heard?"

"I... am I?"

The girl was completely bewildered by the questions, but through this series of inquiries, she finally understood the question Liu Yuan had raised first. I am who I am, whether I call myself that or someone else calls me that. The "me" of others is called "his/herself," while the "me" of myself is called "myself."

My consciousness is completely different from Liu Yuan's, so I am who I am, and no one can replace me when they call me.

Once the first layer of logic is clear, the subsequent problems become much simpler.

The universe has no end, yet it is finite. I was born from the Elf Corridor, and my appearance in this world symbolizes the emergence of the first life. It wasn't that the world chose to give birth to me; rather, I happened to become the world's first living being. The past has not disappeared, and the future continues. These are the questions Liu Yuan asked, and the above are my own answers.

Gradually, a light appeared in the girl's eyes. This was an affirmation of herself, and even more so, a sense of inner peace.

At this moment, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "It seems you have found yourself. Then let me tell you what your true self is. You are the first life born in the world. You are a god who doubts and suspects everything. You are the embodiment of all life's unknown and exploration."

"Since you don't have a name, may I call you Hello?"

"Fanlou? What does that mean?"

Liu Yuan explained, "This represents you greeting the world, it represents that you are yourself, and you can take responsibility for yourself and do anything."

"But... what can I do?"

Fanlou understands what self is, but she still doesn't understand the meaning of her existence in this world.

Liu Yuan then added, with a hint of personal agenda, "If you don't know what the point of our existence is, come and try the games in this internet cafe."

"game?"

"Hmm, games. Since you don't know what your purpose is, why not set yourself a small goal and try beating a game?"

"Um…"

The moment she agreed, Liu Yuan received a message from his superior through the system.

"Well done, promotion and raise."

Liu Yuan took the first four words as an affirmation from his boss, but he just smiled and remained silent about the last four words.

Here's a joke: a promotion and a raise. He used to be just barely scraping by as a network administrator, earning a few thousand yuan a month. But now? He wants to invest every penny he earns in games, hoping to get more games as quickly as possible.

When Liu Yuan and Fan Lou came out of the lounge, Rick and Shubi looked at them with their big eyes.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Liu Yuan, who then gently nudged Fanlou.

Fanlou introduced himself: "Fanlou, God of Suspicion, I'm joining you all starting today. Please take me to play games! Also, this is yours."

Rick and Shubi stared at Liu Yuan in disbelief. The boss truly lived up to his reputation; a single conversation had turned a god into an internet-addicted girl? How did he do that?
