Madam, I like you.

　In fact, I gave up my physics studies to school a long time ago.

　My understanding of heat death is that the temperature reaches absolute zero, that is, energy stops doing work. This effect is the flow of time. Esdeath knew it from the beginning. Stopping time means reaching absolute zero and stopping the movement of energy.

　Everyone knows about the heat death theory, right? There's also a saying in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, 2333.

　In my understanding, heat death means that energy stops moving and time stands still. After all, the essence of the flow of time is the change of energy.

　Anyway, I am just a novice and the only physics I know is Newton.

　Chapter 258: Finale Part 3: The Ice Age

　In the north, only humans who were once called the northern alien races survive in the harsh cold environment. Of course, now except for sporadic tribes, the northern alien races exist in name only, and 400,000 civilians were buried alive by an imperial general named Esdeath.

　Hundreds of kilometers north of the north is a desperate place that even the northern ethnic groups find difficult to enter. There is no life, snow falls all year round, and the snow is deep enough to bury the mountains. The only creatures that can survive in this desperate place are dangerous species with semi-elemental bodies.

　Legend has it that deeper in the north, at the end of the world where no one in history has ever been, there lives a super dangerous species that does not exist in this world, wanders outside of time, and is immortal.

　The expedition team that had been formed a thousand years ago with all the strength of the empire, using the already manufactured imperial artifacts, was only lucky enough to obtain the corpse of an extremely dangerous species from there.

　The Kaman people are a human group living on the far northern border. They make a living by hunting dangerous species in the north. In the human territory, they are the people who live closest to the end of the world.

　Because they have lived here for many years, their bodies have changed a long time ago. They are stronger than ordinary humans. The mutated muscles form an excellent heat-insulating layer. Any Kaman warrior who goes out can be a warrior who can fight against a hundred enemies alone.

　Click-click——

　The warriors of the Kaman tribe are cutting up the body of a snake, a highly dangerous species that is several dozen meters long. These highly dangerous species are the foundation for the Kaman tribe to survive here and their main food supply.

　Suddenly, the Kaman warrior slapped the ground, and the thick snow was swept up to cover the bloodstains and the dozens of meters long corpses of dangerous species on the ground. He closed his eyes and listened. The snow has the function of absorbing sound. If ordinary people stay in such a place for a long time, their eyes will not be able to bear it and they will suffer from snow blindness, and their hearing will also be affected.

　And precisely because they are so quiet, the Kaman people generally have excellent hearing, which they use to find dangerous species that move under dozens of meters of snow.

　Rumbling--

　The Kaman warrior's face changed with shock. He no longer cared about hiding his body. He jumped onto the corpse of the extremely dangerous species as a springboard and leaped to a height of dozens of meters. He saw the terrifying storm rising in the distance.

　The storms weren't big considering the extreme weather conditions in the far north, but they were different because they were formed by thousands of dangerous species hundreds of meters in size.

　"What are those...? Dangerous species? Such a large population, what happened?" The Kaman warrior was stunned. He recognized that many of those dangerous species were strictly prohibited from hunting by the Kaman tribe. The reason was simple: no matter how many warriors were dispatched to hunt them, they would only end up dead.

　Among those dangerous species rushing around, the Kaman warriors saw several super dangerous species, which were at the top of the food chain in this far north. Not to mention a group of them, any one of them could easily kill all the Kaman people.

　However, now, the extremely terrifying and super dangerous species here seemed to be afraid of something, and was frightened and fled frantically towards the south.

　The Kaman warriors vaguely saw that behind this group of super dangerous species, there were more endless groups of dangerous species fleeing, with no end in sight.

　The scale is so horrifying, it's like the end of the world is collapsing, forcing all the dangerous species that live there to leave.

　The Kaman warriors did not dare to delay. Without time to clean up the carcasses of the prey, they blew a whistle to recall a huge snow eagle and went back to report the matter to the tribal leader. After getting confirmation, the Kaman tribe hastily decided to relocate the entire tribe before the arrival of the dangerous race, and sent two Kaman warriors who knew how to control flying dangerous species to check the situation.

　Two Kaman warriors rode a Snow Eagle towards the direction of the abnormality. From a thousand meters high, they could overlook the dangerous wave stretching for dozens of kilometers. There were obviously many predators and food in it, but there was no chaos.

　"It's so weird. In the past, when we came to the snowy area, our bodies couldn't withstand the low temperatures here. But now, not only do we not feel cold, it's more like the temperature is getting hotter as we get closer to the south." The Kaman people riding on the snow eagle shouted loudly.

　"Ah, it's the climate that's changed." Another member of the Kaman tribe looked into the distance with a telescope. Some of the Kaman tribe had been to the city and maintained cooperative relations with some traveling merchants, often bartering for the bones or furs of dangerous species.

　"Wait, something's wrong... The red light is obscured by a thick fog. What is that?!"

　Before the Kaman warrior could finish his words, the snow eagle beneath him screamed, flapped its wings uncontrollably, and turned back in the direction it came from.

　The Kaman warriors looked at each other, knowing that something must have happened, but they did not stop Snow Eagle.

　Soon, the Kaman warriors saw the true nature of the red light. Heat, a heat wave, melted all the snow wherever it passed, revealing bare earth. Soon, the earth itself melted into magma, the source of the red light.

　The heat wave did not reach far. When the Kaman warriors were puzzled, hailstones began to fall from the sky. The smallest hailstones were as big as a human head.

　The largest one was as big as half a mountain, and when it fell to the ground it caused violent shockwaves. Such a natural disaster was comparable to the destruction of the world.

　All of them are formed by snow being melted into water vapor by heat, rising into the sky and then freezing.

　At this time, the earth that had melted into magma cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye and was re-covered with a layer of snow and frost, and the temperature was lower than before.

　"Ancestors, bless us! What on earth is going on? If those huge ice blocks, which are comparable in size to those extremely dangerous species, fall into the village..."

　"No, these visions are nothing but omens of disaster!"

　The Kaman people do not believe in the existence of God, because what God can do, the super dangerous species in the north may also be able to do it. Now the two Kaman warriors feel for the first time what it means for God to be angry.

　They made their way through the hailstorm, dodging large hailstones and smashing small hailstones with the bone swords they carried, barely escaping this apocalyptic disaster.

　-

　The strange phenomenon in heaven and earth was naturally caused by the battle between Esdeath and Mo Yankong.

　Esdeath possessed the power to destroy the Empire. Using the Ice Knights to store energy, she could then unleash it in a single burst, creating a blizzard that blanketed the entire Empire. All but the most powerful could survive her blizzards. Having fully absorbed the power of the Imperial Gear of the [National Guardian Mecha God - The Supreme Throne], her ability to manipulate ice and snow has evolved, allowing her to plunge the planet into an ice age in a matter of days.

　Of course, she didn't do such a boring thing. Even if all the humans and dangerous species on this planet were combined, they would not be as valuable as hunting Mo Yankong alone.

　In fact, if it weren't for the heat released by Mo Yankong's ripples, the aftermath of the battle alone would have been enough to gradually freeze the planet.

　Chapter 259: Finale Part 4: The Founding of the Republic

　Two years, for most people, was neither long nor short, but for a thousand-year-old empire, it was just a blink of an eye.

　But in just two years, the empire underwent tremendous changes that no one could have predicted, from decline to destruction, and from destruction to rebirth.

　First of all, the revolutionary army failed. Two years ago, the revolutionary army and Anningdao launched an armed uprising and captured all the territories of the empire except the imperial capital.

　During this armed uprising, the political faction headed by Minister Ernest was purged and all of them were assassinated without exception.

　General Esdeath's whereabouts are unknown. The victory of the Imperial Army is thanks to General Bud, who summoned thunder in one fell swoop to annihilate the dangerous revolutionary army troops rampant on the ground. The morale of the Imperial Army was greatly boosted and they finally won the battle to defend the imperial capital.

　Of course, these are all official statements. In reality, except for General Bud, Mo Yankong's followers Chelsea, Sau, Xiao Hei and disciple Tatsumi ended their cooperation with the Night Raid after assassinating Minister Earnest, suppressed all members of the Night Raid, and recovered all the imperial weapons held by the Revolutionary Army.

　The revolutionary army failed because it lost the help of the imperial weapon user and was defeated by the well-equipped empire with General Bud.

　The night raid assassin was temporarily imprisoned.

　The failure of the revolutionary army soon caused a chain reaction. The revolutionary army was originally composed of different warlord factions. After the main force was eliminated, it fell into a state of disarray. The princes gathered their own troops and rose up in rebellion, and the once unified empire fell apart.

　The empire was severely damaged by the revolutionary army and the Anningdao armed uprising, and any warlord with a little ambition participated in the action of sharing the corpse of the thousand-year-old empire.

　The empire officially entered a period of chaos, people's lives became more difficult, and all order was disrupted.

　War, famine, rampant dangerous species, corruption, brutal rule...

　Months after the Revolutionary Army's defeat, a revolutionary faction, calling itself the Republican Army, rose up and swept through the eastern empire, establishing the Republic. Furthermore, General Bud, known as the Imperial God of War, led his Royal Guards out of the Imperial Capital and announced his joining the Republican Army, causing an uproar throughout the empire.

　General Bud was the greatest hero in destroying the revolutionary army, and now he's joining another revolutionary army? Is there any army that can rival General Bud?

　This is indeed the case. After joining the Republican Army, the Guards led by General Bud won victory after victory. In just a few months, they swept through half of the empire's territory, defeated the main force of Anning Dao, and disintegrated this religious organization.

　More and more refugees voluntarily joined the Republican Army. People found that as long as the area was occupied by the Republican Army, peace would soon return, and the Republican Army would distribute large amounts of food every day. As long as they were in the Republican Army's territory, they did not have to worry about war and starvation.

　Order in the city was re-established, the military was disciplined, politics underwent fundamental changes, and the Republic put forward the 24-character core values ​​of civilization, harmony, justice, equality...

　In fact, the political landscape of the Republic is indeed evolving rapidly. The constitution is being promulgated, laws are being improved, and courts are being established. Everything is going surprisingly smoothly, as if it had been set in advance.

　The Republican Army is led by Zero, one of the former leaders of the Revolutionary Army.

　The Republican Army has the support of wealth that rivals that of a country, the most powerful General Bud, and a group of Republican warriors with a spirit as strong as steel. They wiped out the imperial princes in one fell swoop and then disbanded the An Ning Taoist Kingdom. When the Republican Army surrounded the imperial capital again, the imperial capital was unable to defend itself without General Bud.

　The emperor declared surrender, handed over power and issued a confession of guilt to the entire empire, voluntarily went to the guillotine, abolished the feudal system represented by the monarchy, and declared the end of the imperial era and the beginning of the republic.

　Later

　In one year, the Republic established a brand new country with astonishing efficiency.

　Mo Yankong's research into new rice technology saved the Republic from famine, and the development of highways connecting the country greatly promoted commercial development. With the Republic's encouragement, various scientific and technological advancements advanced like rockets. After all, the Empire already had a strong foundation in science and technology.

　The wealth accumulated by the "Free Masons" founded by Mo Yankong, the accumulation of the empire over thousands of years, plus the wealth confiscated from Minister Ernest, were used to establish the "Free Masons" company, which is considered a state-owned industry of the Republic and monopolizes most of the important industries in the country.

　The company was managed by members of the original "Free Masons", whose purpose was not to make a profit. Apart from the necessary funds to encourage technical development, almost all profits were handed over to the state and used for public construction.

　Hazardous species removal, road paving, town construction, hazardous species taming, railway tracks, etc.

　In just one year, the Republic completely surpassed the Empire. Its commercial development, technological level, and per capita assets all surpassed those of the Empire's rule. More importantly, it was no longer as stagnant as it had been during the Empire's rule. The quality of life of the people was constantly improving day by day, moving in a better direction, and there was no longer any corruption and darkness caused by privilege.

　Tatsumi became a general of the Republic, mainly responsible for training new recruits. Although there was no more war after the establishment of the Republic, the threat of dangerous species and natural disasters still existed. He returned to his village and was treated as a hero. His childhood sweetheart Iyeas became the village chief, and he planned to live a peaceful life there.

　Night Raid was released by the Empire during the period when the Republican Army was established. Without the imperial weapons, they could not do anything and gradually adapted to their own lives.

　Akagi joins the Republic's special forces, continues her work as a killer, and carries the dark side of the Republic.

　Marin became a diplomat of the Republic, mainly responsible for communicating and contacting with Western ethnic groups. The Republic is not a revolutionary army, so naturally it does not need to return the territories belonging to Western ethnic groups. It can be considered peaceful coexistence.

　Leone became a physical education teacher at a school in the imperial capital and was quite popular among the children.

　Lubbock returned to his old trade as a bookstore owner, and since the early years of the Republic required a great deal of popular knowledge, he made a fortune and opened branches in several major cities.

　Najeshitan became an official of the Republic, mainly responsible for dealing with grassroots corruption.

　Brand joined the Imperial Capital Garrison to maintain public order.

　Chelsea also became an official of the Republic, and Hill was her assistant. In fact, both of them lived a leisurely life.

　-

　In the Far North, the anomalies have persisted for two years. Sometimes it's like a furnace of hell, melting all the snow and turning the earth into magma, boiling the sea. Sometimes it's like a bitterly cold hell, freezing the land for thousands of miles. Even the hardy northern dangerous species would have their cells destroyed in an instant by the low temperatures.

　However, the Kaman people, who have always wanted to return to their homeland, found that the abnormal temperature changes gradually stabilized after a month, and that high temperatures prevailed over cold temperatures for most of the time.

　Another month passed, and the abnormal temperature changes disappeared. The Kaman tribe decided to send a Kaman warrior who was willing to die to investigate the source of the change.

　Author's message:

　Emmmmmm, how much content was omitted in this chapter...

　If the writing style is not right, writing original fan fiction is a dead end.

　Chapter 260: Final Act 5: The End

　The Kaman warriors flew on snow eagles for half a month and arrived at the deepest part of the far north, the end of the world.

　Along the way, the scenes he saw were so shocking that even a person who was ready to die would be terrified.

　The earth was ravaged, leaving behind countless large pits with a radius of hundreds of meters, and bottomless abysses everywhere. They were not formed naturally, but were traces left by some extraordinary power.

　"What is that..." The Kaman warrior held his breath and concentrated. In front of him was a huge round pit, bigger than any he had ever seen, with no end in sight.

　Mountains? No!

　The Kaman warriors were sure that the largest mountain they had ever seen in their lives would be as small as a stone if placed in this round pit, and even the sea was not sure whether it could fill this huge round pit.

　The limited knowledge of the Kaman warrior was not enough to describe how big the circular pit was. He was sure that the only thing that could cause such environmental damage was the stars falling to the earth as described in ancient legends!

　Soil and magma emerged and flowed into the center of the circular pit. The heat rose. The Kaman warrior flew for another whole day. What surprised him was that the temperature was high all the way, and the center of the huge circular pit was covered with ice crystals.

　The Kaman warrior carefully took out a telescope and saw the center of the pit.

　"What!?" The Kaman warrior was shocked. He rubbed his eyes and looked again to make sure he was not dazzled.

　He saw a naked man with a golden glow on his body. Endless light and heat emanated from his body. In the man's hand was a piece of ice crystal, and endless cold air was emitted from the ice crystal.

　Esdeath lost

　Mo Yankong and Esdeath no longer need to use physical force to maintain their fighting power. When the two of them stand there, they will naturally form a repulsion.

　Mo Yankong's current strength is not comparable to what it was two years ago. He only needs a thought to burn the surface of a planet to ashes, and he can also devour all the life forms on the planet within a day. This is because of the two years of fighting with Esdeath. The ripples and body have been evolving all the time.

　the result of.

　Esdeath is very powerful. After swallowing the Supreme Imperial Weapon [Guardian Mecha God - The Supreme Kingdom], she gained eternal power. She can create matter out of thin air without limit, control the temperature, and cannot be killed in any place with water vapor.

　But this is all due to the power of the imperial weapon. Esdeath is only a mortal after all.

　In the past two years, Mo Yankong couldn't remember how many times he had killed Esdeath, and how many times she had rebuilt his body from the molecular level.

　At the beginning, Esdeath had the advantage. Controlling the flow of energy meant controlling time. She could wipe out Mo Yankong with just a thought.

　Mo Yankong placed the perfect Aizhe Redstone into the Dead River, infinitely multiplying his own life. He experienced hundreds of deaths a day. After getting used to it, Mo Yankong broke free from Esdeath's control.

　Mo Yankong's body and spirit were evolving, the threat of death squeezing the potential of the perfect creature. In a single day, the perfect creature seemed to have experienced billions of years of baptism.

　Evolve! Evolve!

　The genes of all life forms on Earth, the genes of all dangerous species in this world.

　The combination of the two gave birth to an existence that is more powerful than the Supreme Imperial Tool created by the First Emperor by summoning craftsmen from all over the world and using all the knowledge and super dangerous species in the world.

　This boundless crater, like a planetary collision, was the result of Mo Yankong's full-strength output, though of course he also exercised control. Otherwise, the resulting earthquake and subsequent tsunami would have been enough to submerge most of the world's landmass.

　In the second month of the war with Esdeath, Mo Yankong's ability was completely superior to Esdeath. At that time, Mo Yankong's evolution slowed down and he began to look for ways to eliminate Esdeath.

　The simplest method would be to rush out of the planet and throw Esdeath into a black hole to end it all. As for the sun? There are water atoms in the sun as well. Besides, the temperature of Mo Yankong's own ripples is very close to that of the sun's core.

　The perfect Ai Zhe redstone was also vaporized by Mo Yankong's ripple temperature and merged into Mo Yankong's body.

　Having tried every possible way to eliminate Esdeath, Mo Yankong simply chose to pursue the simple and brutal method.
