Therefore, after the singularity explodes, not only will the target area be forcibly erased by the corrective force, but the archmage who provided the magical concept and the magic engineer who created the singularity generation device will also be erased by the world's corrective force... Unless you escape this world, there's no use hiding anywhere.
Whether it's the magic engineers who can manually create singularity generation devices or the great magicians who have grasped the concept of magic, they are humanity's most important talents. Every sacrifice of them is the greatest loss, which is why this plan has become the Federation's "ultimate weapon"—the cost is too high.
It was only after reading these top-secret documents that Emerald learned that the female ancestor of the Melson family who summoned the pancake from another world and developed the magical armor technology was sacrificing herself to launch the [Ultimate Weapon] to annihilate that level 7 magical tide. She was only 171 years old, which is quite young for a third-stage powerhouse.
"The world's corrective power..."
After reading through all the materials, Emerald didn't say anything at length. She simply put the materials back in their original place and returned them to her grandfather Baphomet before leaving his study.
She roughly guessed why the Federation in the original game didn't use the "Final Weapon".
It's quite possible that it wasn't that it wasn't used, but rather that it was used but failed.
Because when the Dao Ancestor began to merge with the Dao, the entire world was greatly affected, many rules became disordered, and natural disasters and anomalies were everywhere... At that time, the world's self-correction ability was likely also shut down, so the [Ultimate Weapon] completely failed.
Using the "ultimate weapon" as a trump card to stop the Dao Ancestor's idea of merging with the Dao is most likely not going to work.
. . . . .
The grandest festival in the Allen Federation, the New Year, arrived as scheduled. On New Year's Day, as in previous years, people from all walks of life gathered at the Sky Manor, where relatives and friends celebrated together.
When it comes to celebrating the holidays, besides exchanging greetings and blessings, the most important activities are nothing more than eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and watching shows.
This year, all the programs at the manor were arranged by Melson Entertainment, with Su Lina as the chief planner and she personally choreographed many of the songs and dances.
As Emeryte's abilities have grown stronger, the value of Sulina's assistant position has also increased accordingly.
Now, not only do the local elites of the Federation treat Sulina with utmost respect, but even many of the pink-haired members of the Melson family greet her with smiles. No one dares to treat her as just an ordinary dancer anymore, let alone make a move on her.
And Sulina is indeed very talented. After she no longer has to worry about those messy things, her singing and dancing skills improve almost every day, which makes Emily very impressed. Her new style of singing and dancing is very popular.
The reason why Sulina hasn't become a queen of song and dance like her sister isn't because her singing and dancing skills are inferior to her sister's, but because Amélie has monopolized too many of the most exciting and alluring song and dance performances, which others simply can't see.
However, during this New Year's celebration, Su Lina still made a personal appearance, leading the girls from the Blue Star Song and Dance Troupe to perform several new songs and dances... all of which she had carefully selected so that she could perform them in front of outsiders.
The result was an instant sensation. Many of the Melson family's fans who had seen Sulina's performance back then unanimously agreed that Sulina was definitely the most outstanding singer and dancer in the Federation today.
This situation gave Emerald another thought... If the technology left behind by Mondori were truly used on Sulina, could Sulina successfully embark on the path of the Goddess of Song and Dance and become one of the main forces preventing the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao?
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, then Emery laughed and suppressed it again.
Just like with Marcy back then, things weren't serious enough to require maids to become the main force on the battlefield, and the same goes for dancers.
While it might be romantic for everyone to charge forward while chanting about love and bonds, if we were to actually defeat the Dao Ancestor using that method, how would it differ from the original game? What would be the point of me, a transmigrator, coming to this world?
Watching Sulina's exquisite dance on stage, a look of enlightenment gradually appeared in Amelie's eyes.
After many years, she finally remembered her original intention as a time traveler.
It wasn't about reaching the pinnacle of power, accumulating wealth, or adding countless beauties to one's harem.
Instead, her reason was simpler—she wanted to prove that, as the protagonist of the world, Emerald would do a better job than Julia from the original game!
Anything that Julia could do in the original game, Emerald could do as well.
And what Yulia couldn't do in the original game, Emerald can do too!
Chapter 335 Visitors from the East
The second and third days of the new year were no different from previous years.
The next day, dignitaries from all sides visited Melson's Sky Estate with gifts, and on the third day, everyone went to the Losid Otherworld Town as guests.
The only significant difference from last year is that the person who accompanied Pias to entertain guests on the second day of the new year and went to visit the alternate town on the third day was no longer Emery, but Bobo, who was dressed in a gorgeous little dress and looked very cute.
Similar to Judy's father, the general, Baphomet is very good at judging and employing people, but his own talent for cultivation is really lacking. Now, at only 70 years old, he already feels that the high-intensity work of the family head is a bit too much for him.
Therefore, Baphomet plans to retire in the next two years and pass the position of head of the family to Pias. At that time, Popo will be the eldest son of Melson and the first in line to inherit the position. This can be considered as a warm-up in advance.
Of course, Amelie's decision not to represent the Melson family at these social events did not mean that her status within the family had diminished.
On the contrary, it was because Emerald's status and influence within the family had increased significantly that ordinary people were no longer qualified to easily strike up a conversation with her in social situations.
This gave Amelie a lot of free time. Apart from Sulina, who was quite busy these past few days, the other girls spent most of their time with Amelie at her residence. They ate, drank, and made merry during the day and fought water magic duels at night, temporarily putting aside their worries and having a good holiday.
But happy days are always short-lived, and the three days passed quickly. Although the seven-day federal public holiday was not yet over, many people started to get active on the fourth day of the holiday.
This includes Emerald and those who have acquired her system.
The upcoming real-world combat tests are quite important, as they determine how much strength the Allen Federation can retain after the Battle of Dao Integration. Emery intends to personally oversee them.
. . . . .
Bonnie is a female mage who has just graduated from the Lohid Magic Academy. She has received her graduation certificate from the Lohid Magic Academy and her strength has reached the level of a formal mage. Compared with ordinary people, she is already considered to have a bright future.
In fact, six months ago, Bonnie found it hard to believe she had achieved such a feat, as she was still worried about how to pass her graduation exams.
After all, while Bonnie's magical talent was considered genius in her hometown, it was nothing special in a place like the Lohid Magic Academy, where geniuses gathered. Her grades were almost always at the bottom during her five years of magical studies. She wasn't particularly pretty as a girl, and she was also socially awkward, making her one of the lowest-ranking students at the Lohid Magic Academy.
Just when Bonnie was worried about whether she could graduate smoothly, she finally ushered in a turning point in her life.
Bonnie was bound to a strange system during the maze trial at the Lohid Magic Academy, a trial open only to fifth-year students.
By simply overcoming her shame and completing some seemingly nonsensical tasks, Bonnie can easily obtain cultivation resources that were previously difficult for her to acquire, making her graduation exam much easier.
Bonnie was initially resistant, but after trying it a few times and experiencing its benefits, she became completely captivated by the system. As long as she could complete the mission, she didn't care about anything else.
Bonnie had done countless things, such as flying around the school in revealing lingerie to provoke the disciplinary staff and grabbing and forcibly kissing younger students who were passing by.
Although she was often severely reprimanded and became a frequent visitor to the school's dark room, the high-quality cultivation resources provided by the system allowed Bonnie's strength to improve rapidly. Finally, before the start of the graduation exam, she successfully advanced to a formal magician and obtained her graduation certificate.
Normally, graduates of Lohid Magic Academy like Bonnie would apply for jobs at large corporations or the federal government after graduation. It's not difficult for a formal magician to find a well-paying job.
However, Bonnie, who was used to completing system tasks and getting rewards, would never care about the meager wages earned through hard work. So after graduation, she had no intention of looking for a job and instead spent every day diligently completing tasks.
Bonnie didn't want to rest at all during holidays, completely immersed in the joy of completing tasks and getting rewards. She helped an old lady who didn't want to cross the road to cross the road, made a naughty child who was randomly setting off fireworks and firecrackers on the roadside during the holidays cry, and used a multi-gravity spell on a magic-powered car to run over a rogue who crawled under the car to stage an accident.
When she woke up that morning, Bonnie's daily tasks had been refreshed again.
At first, Bonnie thought it was the kind of task that wouldn't be too difficult as long as she overcame her shame, but after looking at it carefully, she realized that this task was a little different.
It's not about having her do random things in town, but about venturing into the wilderness to hunt down a powerful dragon-level monster and obtain some kind of material from it.
This task is much more serious than the ones Bonnie has done before, but it's also much more difficult.
Although dragon-level monsters and formal mages are on the same level, Bonnie has only recently become a formal mage, and these kinds of monster hunting missions are usually carried out by small teams.
Bonnie considered giving up, but after carefully reading the mission instructions, she felt an excitement like she had won the lottery, and accepted the mission without hesitation.
This mission not only offers generous rewards but also guarantees safety.
The system said it would protect Bonnie's life. Even if Bonnie died while fighting monsters, the system would revive her. The worst-case scenario was that the mission would fail and there would be no reward.
Bonnie would never have believed this explanation if she had seen it when she first got the system.
However, the smooth sailing of the past six months had made Bonnie deeply believe in the system's capabilities, so she never considered whether the system's so-called security guarantees were reliable or not.
After buying some basic equipment at an outdoor gear store, Bonnie set off, leaving town for the wilderness to begin her hunt.
The low-priced monsters she encountered at the beginning were not a threat to Bonnie. As a formal magician, she could easily take them down with just a few fireballs.
Following the map guidance in the system, Bonnie successfully located her target prey in less than 3 hours: a blue crayfish larger than a human, with a shell as hard as metal and capable of using various water-based magic.
Bonnie was in a tough fight; she was slightly weaker than the blue lobster.
However, humanity's greatest advantage lies in its ability to create and use equipment, and to formulate reasonable tactics in advance based on intelligence about its opponents, thus enabling it to overcome stronger opponents.
So after a fierce battle, Bonnie still won. She used her best fire magic to burn the crayfish from blue to almost red, and it even smelled delicious.
Bonnie longed to immediately peel the shrimp shells, take out the sauce, and enjoy a hearty meal, but she held back.
According to the system's requirements, she must first take a photo with the crayfish's corpse before she can submit the task and receive the reward.
So Bonnie turned her back to the crayfish, turned on the camera magic device, and prepared to strike a fairly cool pose for a selfie.
Just as Bonnie was setting up the magic device with her back to the crayfish, the crayfish, which was already eight-tenths cooked, suddenly moved. With a single blow, its sharp pincers severed Bonnie's head, and then it ate Bonnie's head in one bite, leaving only the headless corpse to collapse.
. . . . .
"Sample number 034 has been confirmed dead. Initiate soul upload and physical body creation!"
Bonnie's every move was naturally being watched by Emerald in the dark, and even the lobster's feigned death and sneak attack was secretly orchestrated by Emerald.
As Bonnie collapsed and died, the experiment, which had been prepared in advance, immediately began.
As one of the system's owners, Bonnie had already sacrificed a considerable amount of her own soul's essence and blood in exchange for daily task rewards.
So even though Bonnie's physical body was completely dead after her head was eaten, her soul did not dissipate like a person who dies normally. Instead, like a kite being reeled in, it was pulled away rapidly in a certain direction by an unseen force.
Meanwhile, in an underground experimental facility in the Locke City area, a small vial of blood essence belonging to Bonnie was quickly found and taken out by the Lily of the Valley doll and placed in a culture tank.
The culture vessel contains an orange liquid that shimmers with a strange luster. This orange liquid is also a culmination of various cutting-edge technologies, and can be considered a low-end version of a panacea diluted solution.
Once Bonnie's blood essence entered the transparent culture tank, it immediately absorbed the rich life force in the orange liquid and began to reshape Bonnie's body. This process was completed within minutes, and even her head, which had been cut off and eaten, was restored to its original state.
About half an hour later, Bonnie's soul, after drifting across a small part of the Allen Federation, arrived at the experimental facility and slowly entered Bonnie's new body, causing her new body to begin to have a heartbeat, body temperature, and breathing. Even her eyelids began to tremble, and she could wake up at any time.
Seeing this, the Lily of the Valley doll quickly loaded the cylindrical transparent culture jar into a launcher like loading a cannonball, and then launched the culture jar out.
This step was, of course, for the sake of secrecy. The existence of the underground experimental facility was not something someone like Bonnie could know about; if she did, she would be dead.
Protected by magic, the culture tank landed safely and then shattered. The transparent fragments disappeared in the sunlight like melting ice, and the mysterious orange liquid evaporated quickly.
It looks as if Bonnie, after being injured, hastily fled and collapsed to the ground; it's hard to imagine that she was actually just resurrected from some laboratory.
A few minutes later, Bonnie opened her eyes, yawned, and sat up, touching her neck in a panic.
After confirming that her head was still intact, Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly revealed a smile that didn't look very bright:
"Haha... The system is amazing. It can even revive me after my head was eaten by a monster. What do I have to be afraid of now?"
"It's just a pity... the mission still failed, even though I won. Sigh."
After her initial joy, Bonnie sighed with regret, then stood up and began searching for her way back to the city.
"Forget it, I'll just stick to the simple daily tasks from now on... Even though you can revive after dying in these high-difficulty tasks, the feeling of having your head eaten is still too scary."
Bonnie didn't linger in the wilderness and quickly returned to the city. All of her actions and physical data were monitored in real time by Suzuran through the system.
About half a day later, the Lily of the Valley thread responsible for monitoring Bonnie reported the experiment to Emerald:
"Her soul was still damaged during the long-distance transfer without the protection of a physical body, resulting in a decrease in her intelligence of about 7% and a worse magical talent. Her strength will most likely stop here, and it will be difficult for her to grow any further in the future."
"Is that really the case?"
Emery wasn't surprised by the result; she simply frowned and sighed.
"I never imagined protecting a soul that has lost its physical body from harm would be so troublesome. None of the three solutions have achieved the desired results..."
Similar experiments were certainly not limited to Bonnie; they were conducted simultaneously on more than a dozen system owners who had experienced similar situations to Bonnie.
As a result, the reconstruction of the physical body using blood essence was very successful, and the integration of the soul into the newly shaped body was also very successful. However, the three plans designed by Amelie were not ideal in the step of bringing the soul of the dead back to the laboratory from the battlefield.
Bonnie, whose soul floated back directly, is the first type.
The advantage of this method is that the soul is immune to most attacks, making it easier to safely withdraw from the battlefield.
The downside is that the soul is easily worn down by the natural environment during its journey, which can have a permanent impact on its resurrected life.
Bonnie's talent and intelligence declined after her soul only moved a small part of the Federation. If she were to cross the White Sea from the Eastern Continent and return, she would probably become mentally disabled.
The second way to recover a soul is by using spatial teleportation. After the physical body dies, the soul is teleported back to the laboratory using a spatial teleportation device and merged with the reconstructed body.
This method was the most expensive, and Emery thought it would be the most effective, but it turned out to be the least effective.
Because spatial teleportation itself causes significant damage to a soul without a physical body for protection, the unfortunate soul who participated in this experiment could only babble after being resurrected.
The third method of recycling souls is an improved and upgraded version of the second method.
The process involves giving the test subject one of the same magical crystals that old man Langdon used. After the test subject dies, his soul will be automatically captured by the magical crystal and protected inside it.
In this way, the soul of the test subject can be protected quite well. Afterwards, whether the magic crystal is used to teleport away or is retrieved by surviving comrades on the battlefield, it can perfectly resurrect the dead in the reconstructed body.
However, this is only the ideal situation. The battlefield is ever-changing. Magic crystals are the best refuge for the souls of the dead, but they can also become graves that bury the dead completely.
Just like when old man Langdon was killed by investigator Mengmeng, if the magic crystal is destroyed in the subsequent battle, the soul of the dead inside will also suffer great damage, or even be completely destroyed on the spot with no possibility of resurrection.
The option of directly teleporting the soul of the deceased can be abandoned. Although the other two options have their advantages, their disadvantages are also obvious, and neither can meet Amelie's requirements.
"Keep researching. I need to see at least three new solutions within a month!"
Emery could only give this order to the research team in charge of the project, while patiently waiting for the results of the next experiment.
After the experiment was temporarily over, Emerald went back to Melson Sky Manor in Sphinx to pick up the girls with her, and then they all returned to Locke City to resume their daily work.
However, as soon as she returned to her office, before she could even warm up her magical costume, her secretary knocked on the door with a strange expression and came in, looking at Emery with a hesitant expression.
