Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Whether it's black holes, gamma-ray bursts, creating the Big Rip, or even restarting the entire universe, the truth will still exist.

With a gentle touch, the star, which had been transformed into a black hole, instantly returned to its original state.

The vanished planets were pieced together again in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.

And... you should be awake by now, right?

The white-haired boy's unchanging expression suddenly widened into a smile.

Yes.

Earth, somewhere in the ruins.

A boy who looked to be eighteen years old and a young man in his early twenties were walking here.

Isaac, who had now returned to his usual short black hair, looked at the white-haired boy beside him, whose waist-length hair had been reduced to shoulder-length, and asked.

"By the way, when did you regain consciousness?"

"When they throw two planets at you."

"You were sober and still used gamma rays to bombard your elderly father?"

"Originally, I wanted to manipulate the weak interaction to trigger the beta decay of all matter and heat up the entire universe."

The young man chuckled softly.

"I thought that was a good opportunity to beat you up, but I didn't succeed."

"If you hadn't swallowed the truth, you might have actually had a chance. If the truth is gone, I'll automatically take your place."

After Isaac finished speaking, he smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Oh dear, you're still a long way from beating your father. Your father is still your father."

"Understood, I'll do it to you again next time."

"You unfilial son."

The two walked side by side, chatting as they went. Looking at the huge relief with flying bird patterns in front of them, the young man snapped his fingers lightly, and a complex transmutation array appeared in the relief, as if it had always been engraved inside.

"So that's why the transmutation array of the future appeared in the ancient ruins of this world. It turns out you carved it."

Looking at the transmutation circle in front of him, Isaac smiled and shook his head.

"Don't tell me you're only finding out now; you actually already knew what was going on, right?"

"Speaking of which... where is this place?"

"A thousand years ago in the world we live in."

Chapter 1646: Miracle

This was during the Middle Ages, a time when warfare was still largely conducted on horseback.

The Britannian Empire wasn't that large, and there wasn't anything like a KMF.

After leaving the ruins, the boy and Isaac sat down at a secluded spot in the woods.

A thousand years from now, there will be modern towns not far from here, while at this point in time, the surrounding area will be surrounded by forests and mountains for hundreds of kilometers.

Isaac looked at the boy beside him and asked, "You... aren't your original self right now, are you?"

"Yes and no."

The boy smiled and pointed to the sky.

"After the final energy was absorbed, my body completely disappeared from the three-dimensional world and moved to a higher dimension. My body is now caught in the cycle of time, and I am just a projection in the three-dimensional world."

After a pause, the boy continued.

"However, my soul and spirit are indeed here. The body that was originally in a higher dimension and surrounded by the time loop was just an empty shell. But it is precisely because the body is in the time loop that I can reach any point in time."

"From the sight of your body, which is only moderately strong, I roughly know what you're planning."

Isaac smiled and said.

"After ascending to a higher dimension, the first step is to recreate a body, and then transfer one's soul and spirit here. When I saw you before, your soul and spirit were still on their way, right?"

"Yes."

The boy looked up at the azure sky.

"Rather than becoming an omniscient and omnipotent being, I still want to be an ordinary person. I don't need to be too strong, just strong enough."

"But your body is also far beyond that of an ordinary human."

"Because I occasionally need to have a father-son solo match with you, Dad, I still need to be a little careful about the intensity."

"What a rebellious son!"

Oh, by the way~

The boy suddenly stood up, walked up to Isaac, and raised his hands in a bodybuilding pose.

Click!

His clothes suddenly swelled and burst open, revealing the boy's incredibly strong and muscular body.

"Haha, how's Dad's muscle? I added this on specially when I created his body; you could never build muscles like that in your entire life!"

"..."

At that moment, Isaac's face turned dark.

Even when faced with the greatest crisis, Isaac remained calm and composed, even after being bombarded by gamma rays; his face was now grim.

There's nothing that can be done; at his level, his appearance is already set and won't change for a million years.

Lu Qi! This brat actually dares to show off in front of me.

Just you wait. Once we get back to the original world, I'll make the baby go to his mother's place every day to change into women's clothes.

Isaac wouldn't allow this unfilial son to be more muscular than him.

Not long after, the boy returned to his original physique, and a piece of clothing naturally formed on his body.

"We're going to see a lot more places soon, Dad, are you going to keep coming along?"

Where else would you like to go?

"To resurrect those who died because of the disasters I caused, that is why I must cross to a higher dimension. Only by having the power can I make amends for the disasters I have brought to this world."

The boy said with a smile.

"This world has a world called C. People enter this world after they die. The world of C was previously merged with my spirit. Now that the evolution is complete, I plan to return it. The body I created at the moment cannot withstand the spiritual intensity that the world of C has merged with."

"That's true. The souls of the dead are preserved in the world of C. With your current abilities, it's still a very simple thing to directly reshape the body."

Isaac nodded.

He pressed his hands to his knees and slowly stood up.

"Then... let's go, let's end all of this."

The failed operation against the humanoid monster threw all the countries into chaos.

But soon they suddenly discovered that the humanoid monster was no longer on the island; instead, Suzaku Kururugi and Kallen had been left behind there.

The Britannian Empire quickly brought the two back to their homeland.

Upon returning to the capital, Kallen remained tight-lipped about what had happened, while Suzaku Kururugi said that he only saw the monster suddenly disappear and didn't know where it went.

This made everyone very anxious.

If such a destructive monster were to hide and launch another attack, it would be a catastrophe that would completely destroy human civilization.

The world has already experienced one disaster; it simply cannot afford a second one.

This time, it seems as if the countries of the world had agreed in advance that in order to be able to face and fight against sudden dangers in the future, humanity must unite as one.

Nations united to form the United States of America, where all nations exchanged resources and leaders formed a parliament to confront the potential catastrophes that might befall the planet in the future.

Just one week after the founding of the United States of America, something happened that no one could understand.

First, the moon, which had disappeared, reappeared.

The moon that had disappeared because of the 'Demon Moon' once again hung in the sky. The moon, exactly the same as before, returned to its original state and continued to orbit the Earth as a faithful satellite.

The other thing was even stranger.

Those who should have died in the monster disaster reappeared alive.

The first incident occurred in a small village on the border of Britannia, where a middle-aged woman was visiting the grave of her husband who had died in a monster attack when he suddenly ran towards her from a distance, waving.

This scene almost made the woman faint.

I thought this was just one case, but in the following days more and more people who had died came forward.

Most of them were people who died during the monster disaster, and after they reappeared, they all returned to their families.

Even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Burgestan Kingdom who were instantly vaporized came back to life.

Those who were separated by death were reunited, and the joy of reunion instantly filled the whole world.

When asked why they suddenly appeared, their answers were quite similar: they all said they seemed to have gone to a strange place, and then woke up and returned.

People couldn't understand what had happened and could only call it... a miracle.

While it is a cause for celebration, it also has its drawbacks.

That is... many people have gone mad.

Especially for those who believe in science, the various unscientific events that have occurred over the past year have caused their worldview to collapse, making it difficult for them to distinguish between reality and illusion.

But in any case, the boy at least made up for all the disasters he had caused to the world.

Chapter 1647: This is Reality

"Because of your messy actions, people all over the world are going crazy now."

"...This really is my fault."

In the twilight of the floating temple, within the system called Akasha's Sword, the white-haired boy, Lelouch, and C.C. stand.
