Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

"We all believe in you, the great Lord of Steel, the master of the Great Pyramid, you will surely overcome the natural disaster!"

……

Chen Jie couldn't afford to waste this time. Besides conserving his energy, he also hacked into Soul Steel, creating a massive communication network that brought all the Soul Steel on Earth that could be contacted under his command.

To use Bing's Loss, you can't just randomly select an Originium on the road and aim at it; the destructive power won't spread. You must first force out the Prophet's true form, an individual representing the consciousness and wisdom of the Cataclysm.

Rumble—!

A deafening roar emanated from the earth, not from here, not from far away, as if all the continental plates on Earth were trembling.

510,000 geothermal pipes have been inserted into the earth around the world. The tremors have not stopped, but have intensified like a heartbeat, as if an ancient Titan is slowly awakening from the depths of the planet, with the entire star core serving as a furnace to provide it with kinetic energy.

The dense network of cables, like tentacles, embraced SP-2. Through the mental link, Chen Jie controlled the massive machine buried underground, feeling as if he had become one with the entire earth.

Hundreds of millions of metal flying insects emerged from the ground, their target clear: all the Originium within their sight.

They were recycled and sent underground, where they were crushed and burned by the geothermal energy of the magma!

……

Chapter 1: The Spiral of Cause and Effect, Spinning Infinitely!

A storm was brewing.

Natural disasters naturally respond most fiercely to such provocations.

The Originium dust surrounding the entire planet began to capture space debris from outer space. Combining with dust and compressed air, meteorites were ignited by the atmosphere as they fell.

Soul-like steel is ultimately just an extra "like" in its name; it only uses some metals from nature. Not to mention compared to specially made soul steel, its performance is far inferior to even alloys manufactured by current human technology.

The energy used is also electricity; the destructive energy in the environment was almost exhausted when Chen Jie manufactured the geothermal power generation device.

Weakened on top of weaker, the Soul-like Steel Insect swarm was no match for the meteorite attack and was destroyed piece by piece.

In other places, gales blew up, with storms far exceeding human wind force levels, ripping away layers of the ground like razors, revealing the remains of buildings from hundreds of years ago, and sweeping up boulders along with them into the air.

If meteorites are like bombs falling from the sky, then the gale is like a series of shredders, sweeping up a large swarm of Soul Steel Insects and then crushing them into fragments by the dense sand and gravel in the gale.

However, even after its degradation, Soul Steel still retains the strongest properties of nanomachines.

regeneration!

Even when reduced to nothing but powder, it can instantly liquefy, flowing and converging on the ground like winding streams, eventually flowing into the sea, and the swarm of insects rises from the ocean once more.

After several rounds of this, the natural disaster team realized the problem.

It is purely consumed, while the Soul Steel Insect Swarm can continuously absorb geothermal energy to regenerate, endlessly...

As long as the Earth's core has not been extinguished, they cannot be completely eliminated.

Perhaps due to the shift from automatic to manual response, the attack from the heavens caused a loss in the total amount of Soul Steel for the first time.

It thundered.

What appears to be thunderous energy is actually a material transformation technique of Originium Arts. The light from the Originium dust descends, turning large swarms of insects into white, non-metallic matter.

"continue!"

This ability must be extremely energy-consuming; otherwise, the response to storms and meteorites wouldn't be set as a normal one.

"Let's see who can outlast whom."

The Earth's crust contains a high amount of various metals, with aluminum and iron alone accounting for 12.48%, as well as sodium, magnesium, zinc, tin, gold, silver, copper, manganese, and so on. Although most of them are in composite states, the sheer mass of the Earth means that there are also a considerable number of elemental substances.

At worst, he can use Soul Steel to build an underground smelting production line, mine and refine ore, and keep dragging it out!

Under Linghua's leadership, the entire tribe gathered in the pyramid square to pray for their gods.

They have almost complete access to the Great Pyramid, and even while hiding inside, they can observe the outside world through screens.

"Is this... a war between gods?!"

From initial astonishment to gradual numbness, I ate when I was hungry.

This cataclysmic event, resembling a planet undergoing a tribulation, lasted for half a day.

"I know you can see this, so please stop."

A creature made of pure, translucent, black Originium appeared in the clouds. As soon as it opened its mouth, the Originium dust in the entire sky seemed to rub and resonate with it.

Chen Jie took out his weapon and aimed.

"Don't shoot me with that bow yet, please listen to me for a few minutes, okay?"

"it is good."

He's a man of action, not one for idle chatter, but now that he's in control and has sensed the other's presence, he can strike at any moment, following the cause and effect.

However... he is currently inside the statue's space, so how did the other party know about Bi Ying's mistake?

"Because I am the prophet you are looking for, I naturally possess the ability to foretell the future."

"Predictive abilities..." Chen Jie wasn't very convinced.

"I am the source of all Originium. If we consider scattered Originium as cells, then I am the collective consciousness of all these cells." It's a bit like the unknown suspect, Kuro, in Detective Conan.

"As a collective consciousness, I am naturally able to use all Originium Arts."

Different special effects cycle around the little black figure: wind, fire, lightning, gravity manipulation, matter transformation...

"Including those already known, and even those yet to be awakened..."

“If you could truly foresee the future, you would know two things,” Chen Jie replied. “First, don’t appear before me. Second, these words cannot dispel my murderous intent towards you.”

"I didn't want to either," it said, shrugging. "You forced me into it."

"I can foresee that my accumulation over the past few hundred years will still be no match for the fiery core of a planet."

"Don't distort the cause and effect. If you hadn't turned the Earth into this mess first, why would I have forced you out... Do you think I'm just being idle?" Chen Jie's thoughts were clear and his attitude was firm.

"Actually, I sensed your presence hundreds of years ago... As a prophet, I could feel that if I were to come out and stir up trouble, you would shoot me with that bow." Prophet Xiao Hei spoke of the past.

"For this reason, I have been asleep for a hundred years. During this time, I have always felt my power growing stronger, but the result of each prophecy has never changed. As long as I appear, I will be shot by you."

"Until one day, I felt your presence disappear. I was afraid it was some kind of trap or conspiracy, and it was not until seventeen years later that I dared to appear on Earth."

That's it!

No wonder he couldn't find any trace of the Originium Cataclysm when he simulated it. It turns out this guy has prophetic abilities and could sense that he could kill him, so he kept hiding.

Even though he was in a cold sleep, he survived for another seventeen years before finally causing trouble.

Chen Jie believed in its abilities to some extent, but such predictions must have some limitations, such as only being able to see a very short period of time... otherwise it would not be unaware that its double simulation had reappeared.

"I never expected that you would return after sleeping for hundreds of years."

"If you don't destroy humanity, I won't destroy you either—this is the karmic consequence of your own sins!"

"Not annihilate humanity!?" It suddenly laughed. "Want me to analyze this future for you?"

"You should have already discovered that you are immune to Oripathy and can even plunder my spiritual energy by consuming my body parts..."

"All humans are just like you!"

"If we don't eliminate humanity, they will keep me captive, exploit my Originium resources, and subject me to a slow and agonizing death."

"In the end, you still believe in the winner-takes-all mentality."

If that's all there is to it... then it's time to send you on your way!

Three arrows fired simultaneously—

The spiral of cause and effect, endlessly revolving!

"So? Did you like my gift? Did you feel like you were fighting alongside a beautiful young woman?"

As Alicia's message echoed, a dazzling purple light enveloped the Earth, visible everywhere, day or night...

This was an embrace called sublimation!

……

Chapter 120 begins the simulation, the Ark world.

After the light faded, the sky was replaced by a blue-purple sea of ​​stars, as if in a dream.

The starry sea spun, leaving behind a beautiful and dazzling star trail map depicting the cycle of reincarnation. Then the entire beautiful picture shattered, and a dazzling arrow of light crossed the infinitely distant darkness from the breach.

The black Originium doll was gradually eroded by pink.

"You'll regret this!" it gritted its teeth, as if uttering a final, feeble curse.

The catastrophe that swept across the entire planet has ended. The Originium dust that blotted out the sky has turned into harmless amethyst, some of which remained in the sky and some fell due to gravity.

Like a dazzling shower of crystals.

Thanks to this, the sky over this planet will probably not be the blue it used to be on Earth, but rather the pinkish-purple that tough guys love...

"The gods have triumphed!"

"Great!"

The people in the tribe cheered with joy, no longer having to worry about sudden natural disasters or live in constant fear.

They brought out the prepared food and lit a bonfire; it was a great day, and a huge celebration was to be held.

A sea of ​​amethyst flowers grew across the wasteland, a strike that traced back to cause and effect, which even the deepest hidden source stones could not avoid.

"I want to have lots and lots of children!"

"Now that there are no more natural disasters, we should try planting seeds outside and make the world as green as in the promotional videos!"

"We should seek out other tribes and spread the glory of our god there..."

Sitting atop the statue, Chen Jie opened his leather bag and took a sip of beet wine.

Even with the joy of victory, the wine still tasted so sour and bitter.

……

I opened my eyes again.

"Human, have you finally awakened?"

The excruciating pain in my body disappeared, and looking around, I found myself in a familiar bed and on a ceiling.

He woke up on the fairy Ellie's lap.

"The simulation is over?" Chen Jie rubbed his head, as if he had forgotten something.

“Hmm.” Ellie nodded. “You were also caught up in the festive atmosphere and joined in, but I didn’t expect you to get drunk after just two drinks.”

Did you drink yourself into oblivion?

Chen Jie glanced at the time. He entered the simulation at midnight, and now it was already past 12 o'clock. Half a day had passed just like that.

Leaving aside how the effects of the alcohol traveled through time and space to affect him, if he really blacked out, how did the fairy Ellie enter the dimensional rift and return with him?

"Simulator?"

I'm here

What exactly happened when this simulation ended?

You did drink a lot, but I don't know the specifics. As I told you before, unless you actively call on me, I'm like a smart assistant in standby mode; I won't pry into your privacy.

This feeling of amnesia is really awful.

He opened the dimensional rift to take a look and suddenly realized that he had forgotten something—

Where did the water chestnut go?

"She...in the end, chose to stay in that world with her people." The fairy Ellie looked up at the sky, her eyes wandering, but because she was looking up, Chen Jie couldn't see her expression.

She then took out a small bottle containing a heart-shaped Originium. Unlike the other Originium, this one emitted a faint glow.

"This is what she left for you. If you are strong enough, you may have a chance to see her again."

"Alright, instead of dwelling on the past, let's look to the future, seek new encounters, and experience a series of vibrant and colorful moments in life. All the answers lie at the end of the journey."

"..."

The whole thing had a strange feel to it, but there was also a strong internal resistance that made him temporarily ignore it.

In the afternoon, the people brought back from this simulation were assigned to their work.

He began to think about his next steps.
