Ark, they don't revolve around you

The noblewoman who was being held by the Originium showed despair on her face: "I'm infected? This is not right!"

But no one listened to her, and she could only watch the crystal expand rapidly until it swallowed her entire body.

It's not just her.

Suddenly, it seemed that everyone had more or less black Originium in their bodies.

Margaret Linguang heard her sister's trembling voice: "Am I going to die, sister?"

Margaret hugged her sister tightly: "It's okay, he won't kill us..."

"He is just continuing his punishment... just completing his own trial..."

Inside the mansion, she comforted her sister with no expression on her face.

But there were still small sobs, echoing one after another, and were suppressed by the thunder in the sky.

……

……

Ursus.

At the Castle of St. Stein, Tallulah walked outside the palace.

The natural disaster was raging, and this scene reminded her of the Chernobyl disaster.

The Originium turned into a huge sea of ​​fire, falling towards the city, raising dust that submerged the buildings.

In the dust, clusters of Originium crystals bloomed like flowers, disintegrating buildings one after another.

Compared with the natural disaster that directly killed millions of people, this disaster was more sudden but much more peaceful.

But Originium still emerged in the streets, becoming more and more intense, causing countless people to scream!

"How do you feel...?"

"Captain."

Tallulah raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.

Bodracasti, the shield of the infected, the backbone of the integration movement

He is also the one who monitors Tallulah after she returns to normal. If Tallulah does evil again, he will kill her personally.

"This was done by... that person..."

"Yeah... I didn't expect it would be such a big natural disaster." Tallulah smiled.

"Many people died..."

"I know." Tallulah's eyes became deep. "Captain, I have been struggling with this. Although we have made solemn promises, the infected and normal people cannot coexist peacefully after all."

"Yes."

Another huge crystal fell from the sky and hit the street.

The howling wind blew up Tallulah's bangs, and the cuff tied around her right arm fluttered in the strong wind.

At this moment, the burning wind blew on her face, and Tallulah's eyes were filled with extreme fire: "He gave the answer."

"As long as everyone on this land becomes infected, naturally no one can use this as an excuse, right?"

Bozhukas was speechless.

After a long silence, he was suddenly stunned and felt incredible.

His throat had long been contaminated by Originium, and he was only able to survive because of the Wendigo's powerful body.

But at this moment, the Originium of the diseased organ changed its nature, becoming docile and no longer an obstacle to his survival.

Tallulah also noticed this anomaly and stroked the small Originium crystal on her arm with a dazed smile on her face: "He is just that kind of person."

……

……

Leitania, Trillintelme.

Twin Towers, inside the palace.

Under the dignified gazes of the crowd, Viviana looked at the electors with a little trepidation.

The emperor was finally elected today.

Since no one wanted to have direct contact with the Doctor, the person who was finally pushed to the top was her, the illegitimate daughter of a noble Elector.

She doesn't mind or care about these considerations.

She just felt uneasy in her heart, so her brows furrowed even deeper.

Inside the hall, those distinguished electors were still discussing the distribution of their interests.

Viviana noticed, however, that the light flickered for a moment, and then the air grew colder.

It seemed like there was a sneer coming from somewhere.

Amid the mocking voices, Viviana heard a murmur: "It seems that they have chosen you to be the emperor."

"Then celebrate..." the voice whispered, as if with malice, "with their blood."

Viviana pushed the door open in panic and walked in, only to see that all the electors had expressions of extreme horror on their faces, and were swallowed by the Originium in fear.

She walked over and touched it lightly with her fingertips.

The Originium disintegrated, shattered into dust all over the ground, and dispersed with the wind.

Are they...dead?

Viviana's heart trembled and she felt fear.

The voice then burst out again: "No need, you are the new emperor."

"From this day forward, there will be no more electors."

……

……

inflammation.

In the desolate courtyard, a man stood in the raging storm with a low sigh.

"Is this your former enemy?"

"Shuo." The man looked back, "I did have some misunderstandings with the doctor, but they were just misunderstandings."

His elder brother came over and patted his shoulder: "Second brother, do you understand? This is not something you and I should get involved in."

"I know."

The man clenched his fists, but couldn't suppress his excitement, "I just think it's great."

"Perhaps, this is what it means to use the common people as chess pieces. Compared to this, I am still far behind."

The two had more to say, but another figure appeared and naturally interrupted their communication.

"Your Majesty." Shuo... Zhongyue called out somewhat reluctantly.

Woman - years old, but had never heard of it, just in a trance she gently touched the storm with her fingertips.

"You finally took this step, Doctor."

She suddenly burst into tears, perhaps because she already had a contract with Zhuang Ning, so she naturally felt the surging emotions.

……

……

Originium...is an extension of my will.

Zhuang Ning moved his lips slightly and uttered these words naturally.

At that moment, thousands of thoughts poured into his brain through the Golden Rule. As the Originium raged to every corner of Terra, he touched everyone's body.

Their bodies, spirits, consciousness... everything was controlled by Zhuang Ning.

Anyone who resists will have their body assimilated by Originium.

This energy poured into Zhuang Ning's body, making him stronger with every passing minute.

But that's not the point.

After making sure that the natural disaster he had caused had covered every corner of Terra, the original Originium moved.

The great creation that carried all the hopes of mankind at that time was calling him.

This is what Trevor Friston called the Sea of ​​Solaris, the space that carries thousands of human consciousnesses. Zhuang Ning's consciousness is indeed projected into this subspace.

Trevor swore that this space was polluted and all humans were not immune.

But Zhuang Ning heard cheers, as if they were praising his great achievements.

According to the original plan, these humans would occupy the bodies of the current Terrans.

They cheered and sang praises to Zhuang Ning's name with all their hearts.

With every step, the sea of ​​Solaris ripples and changes into a variety of colors.

With every step I take, inexplicable memories emerge and surface.

His lost memories were filled in bit by bit. Zhuang Ning stopped and looked back.

Here he saw Trevor Friston.

It is not Trevor who uploaded himself into a digital life, but the original soul of this person.

He smiled slightly, praising Zhuang Ning's greatness: "It was right to choose you, Zhuang. You are undoubtedly the savior of mankind. You have continued our civilization!"

"Yeah..." Zhuang Ning nodded, his voice becoming hoarse and heavy, "This is not just my credit, it's all of you who chose me."

"Even so, you succeeded!" Trevor laughed heartily, "Let's go out and see the Terra you created!"

However, the hand holding his became as hard as a rock.

Zhuang Ning watched, scanning them one by one.

Then he shook his head: "That won't work."
