Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

On the self-cultivation of actors.

Otto escaped—

Good news also came from Einstein:

"The alliance leader has rebuilt the bridge, and they will be back soon. Everyone is safe."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that her parents were alright.

“But…” Einstein hesitated.

"Mebius!!!"

Flames appeared out of nowhere, burning through the slowly opening door and instantly magnifying it several times over.

Kevin roared as he burst forth from the Sea of ​​Quanta, but even faster than the roar was the light blade that could scorch mountains and boil seas.

The endless white lines seem to turn the whole world into a comic book, while the outside world cuts the picture, as if severing the entire world.

"I could kill you a thousand times over!!"

A spatial portal appeared behind the green-haired doctor:

"Oh dear, here comes the troublesome fellow."

She fell into it and disappeared instantly.

Kevin, for some unknown reason, located a spot, then flew away carrying the 40-meter-long Destroyer. He had been tricked and deceived, and this anger was not so easily extinguished.

He suddenly felt that he understood Qianjie somewhat.

The Stigmata Project can be revisited after the snake is defeated; it's not too late to plan for the future.

The crucial point is... Kevin discovered that he had no one he could use, and the World Serpent he had painstakingly built had been usurped by Mebius.

Disappointed and lost.

To initiate the Stigmata Project... he was somewhat overwhelmed by the task on his own, unable to manage it alone.

The only thing I can do is vent my anger first.

You might not be able to kill him by slashing, but at least cut him into eight pieces first.

The rest of the people looked at each other.

"Is all of this... over?"

No, not yet.

After exchanging information, the expedition team recounted how the passage disappeared after the Imaginary Seed was destroyed, and how Kevin arrived.

Those who held back told the police that their passage had been destroyed by Otto, who had resurrected yet again and appeared extremely powerful, rendering ordinary attacks ineffective.

Fortunately, the Serpent Lord, Herrscher of the Void, possessed some of the abilities that allowed Otto, severely injured, to escape.

"Then let's kill him one more time!"

……

Chapter 222 The Power of Time, Fate's Mess, Fire Dragon Burns the Granary

"Hey, that's a great idea, I support it too."

The Herrscher of Knowledge raised her hand: "But the one among us who had the ability to kill Otto has already been cut down by Kevin with a sword, hasn't he?"

"I do have some ideas."

Chen Jie's words drew everyone's attention.

"What can hurt Otto is the power of time."

Or rather, the power of sublimation.

In the simulator, the condition for advancing from the extraordinary to the sublime is also mastering the power of time.

The power of the Herald of the End is time.

Möbius touched the edge using the method of spacetime transformation, which is the power brought by knowledge, and the attack of the Obligation, which also comes from across time... can hurt Otto.

Regarding the understanding of the power of time, to put it arrogantly, even if Einstein were here, Chen Jie would dare to say that he knows a tiny bit more about it than she does.

After all, he sat on the Golden Throne in the previous simulation, which can be considered as having used a half-step ascension experience card.

"In another world, I came across a method for judging combat strength. Below S-rank is the ordinary rank, from S-rank to the end is the extraordinary rank, and above that is the sublimation rank."

Good grief, they directly stole my rating system!

Chen Jie ignored the simulator and continued:

"One characteristic of the Ascension rank is that it has a certain degree of control over the power of time. This results in a rank that is immune to all attacks below Ascension by using the power of time."

Excluding the second-stage Imaginary Seed state where he is defenseless, in the first and third stages, only Mebius and the Loss of Conflict can harm him.

"This is very similar to Otto's performance."

Fu Hua succinctly expressed her opinion:

"The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade."

Then she continued to give her body to the Herald of Knowledge, and continued her inner self-isolation mode.

Tesla nodded: "I also think this is a viable direction."

“To create an offensive weapon based on the principle of influencing time… Even if Elke is wrong, time itself is a very lethal tool.”

What gave her the confidence to create time-related machinery right from the start?

Honkai Energy!

Chen Jie had also studied the manufacturing principles of Honkai energy machines. Like Shenyin, he was essentially a proponent of idealism. To briefly explain, it's based on the principle that Honkai energy erodes, distorts, and destroys the laws of reality (making it omnipotent).

Eliminate unnecessary influences, and then expand the effect of your needs by providing the necessary parts, such as electricity, mechanical power, heat energy, or changing the space (I'm just thinking about it).

In this way, it is easy to manufacture some kind of high-tech equipment.

Suddenly, Chen Jie received a message from Mebius:

"Kevin and I will play for a bit first."

"Your guess is correct. It was the power of time that hurt Otto, and only the power of time could hurt him."

"While I'm away, you'll be in charge of the World Serpent for a while. Remember to do a good job, or Kevin, who's in a fit of rage, won't hesitate to kill one of your bodies. He's similar to Thousand Calamities now."

"He's clearly an ice man radiating coldness, but his brain's been fried. I feel like his research value has greatly increased now."

Judging from the fact that she still had the energy to edit these messages for herself, Kevin wasn't putting much pressure on her.

Right.

After all, the Herrscher of the Void is the most slippery of all the Herrschers.

Firstly, its direct combat capability is very strong, after all, it can bully people with its spatial advantage. However, its escape capability is two and a half levels higher than its combat capability, so even if it can't win a fight, it can still run away.

The kite tactic was something Mebius, who had played games on the battlefield for 50,000 years, couldn't possibly be unaware of.

With Möbius's confirmation, Chen Jie became even more confident and shared the news with the three great scientists at Anti-Entropy.

The group of people from various organizations prepared to go home.

Although Otto fled in defeat, the impact he had left was far from over.

This global catastrophe has claimed the lives of countless innocent people.

The entire planet is ravaged.

Even the Anti-Entropy, which reacted the fastest and used mass-produced machines to activate gravity control mode to suppress the terrorists, saw a large number of violent terrorist incidents occur in the areas under its jurisdiction in a short period of time.

Robbery, rape, shooting, tens of thousands of buildings set on fire, gas station explosion, zero-dollar purchase...

If this is the case in North America, then it's even more true in other parts of the world.

A huge mess awaits them to clean up.

The most troublesome one is Theresa.

Having always been under Otto's control, she had absolutely no management skills.

However, given the current state of destiny, individual ability no longer has a significant impact.

Even if you find a super genius in management, even if Otto transmigrates and possesses someone else's body, you cannot stop the corruption of this massive organization.

I still remember when the post-Honkai Odyssey storyline came out.

One captain launched a fierce attack on Theresa, saying that the Destiny organization had the wealth accumulated by Otto over 500 years, and even a dog could maintain its dominant position for decades, but Theresa squandered it all in just a few years.

Incorrect.

In his plan to revive Kallen, Otto has almost emptied his Destiny and built various laboratories.

And the creation of games such as Kallen Fantasy.

The vast majority of Otto's assets were real estate, and much of his cash reserves and material warehouses had long been emptied. Otto had his secretary, Amber, falsify accounts to cover it up.

Just like the infamous fire dragon burning down the granary in history.

In the first year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, a drought occurred, which was both a crisis and an opportunity. Emperor Qianlong felt that if he could solve this disaster, he could win the hearts of the people and the loyalty of his ministers.

So, with a strong desire to make a big difference, he immediately formed a "special inspection team" whose mission was to provide disaster relief and to investigate the national grain reserves.

Disaster relief is no problem, but checking the amount of grain reserves across the country... isn't that going to kill the officials?

"A good prefect can earn 100,000 taels of silver."

When corruption became the norm, anyone who dared to claim incorruptibility was considered an enemy of the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom. At best, they would be excluded from the game, exiled to the frontier, or relegated to a minor post. At worst, they would be framed and eliminated as outcasts.

It is evident that corrupt officials had become a huge cancer in the Qing Dynasty!

The investigation team was shocked, and their shock was tinged with fear.

They didn't even dare to report the true state of the country's grain reserves to Emperor Qianlong. After an inspection, it was found that the actual grain stored in official granaries across the country was less than half of the actual amount!

Even the remaining half is mostly old rice and low-quality rice.

To pass inspections, many officials would put some real, good grain on the surface of the granaries, while the grain underneath was either empty, rotten, or simply replaced with sand and gravel.

They even used money and women to bribe the special inspection team, and used shady methods to get rid of some "uncooperative" inspection team members.

While the head of the investigation team was considering the next steps, seventeen grain warehouses located in Xicang, Tongzhou, suddenly caught fire. By the time the firefighting operation was over, all seventeen grain warehouses had been burned down.

According to the soldiers guarding the scene, they saw two fire dragons "dancing" over the seventeen granaries that night, meaning that the seventeen granaries were "caught in the crossfire" by the fire dragons.

Obviously, this is complete nonsense.

But for those corrupt officials who are afraid of being exposed for smuggling grain from the granary, talking nonsense doesn't matter, as long as there's an explanation.

Now that the evidence has been destroyed, the imperial court naturally has no evidence to arrest them.

Although there is no real historical record to confirm whether the story of "the fire dragon burning the granary" is a story fabricated by later generations or a real event, there were definitely many similar cases in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

To be even more pessimistic, there have been many real-life versions of the "fire dragon burning the granary" incident.

It existed in the past, it exists now, and it will exist in the future.

There is nothing new under the sun.

The greed and shamelessness of corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty were based on exploiting the people. They could turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people. Their purpose in becoming officials was not to benefit the people, but to get promoted and make money.

And Otto...

His reason for becoming the Bishop of Destiny was not to fight against the Honkai.

He'll plunder the world's resources to fuel his desire to resurrect Kallen!

We have an activity requiring us to post daily. Even just a simple "gkd" is helpful. Let's cultivate the good habit of posting, starting with ourselves, starting now, and starting with those around us (laughs).

Chapter 223 I'm taking a day off. Happy New Year everyone!

I can't take it anymore, I really can't go on. I've been busy all day, eating and drinking...

Yesterday was the same, and I didn't finish writing until 2:30 in the morning. I can't keep going today. I have to get up early tomorrow morning and be busy all day.

I'll take a day off and sort out the rest of the plot.

May everyone reap rewards without sowing, enjoy wealth without effort, reap the benefits without sowing, and achieve instant success in the new year.
