The Demon Emperor shed his crimson wings and, accompanied by photon energy covering his body, transformed back into the form of the Vortex Destroyer God...

Bai Wujie's voice, filled with icy killing intent and maniacal joy, echoed across every planet in the solar system.

"Because you fucking will definitely be shattered and killed by me, existing as materials to strengthen my world!!"

The magnetic field force enveloped Bai Wujie, while the even more powerful Vortex Destroyer tore through gravity and instantly teleported back to the Time Grand Temple.

This temple in the imaginary space beyond Earth is on the verge of complete collapse, and almost all the Demon God Pillars have been killed... leaving only Goetia standing before the throne, his eyes lifeless like a dead dog.

The energy accumulated by humanity over 3000 years has been completely squandered... which means that Goetia's own plans are now completely hopeless.

Moreover, he had just witnessed firsthand the overwhelming power of Bai Wujie, the terrifying Demon Emperor, the terrifying and world-shaking power, and the terrifying display of targeting the entire planet!

Hope? Where is there such a thing anymore? Such an enemy is no different from a natural disaster. It's like a storm sweeping away your family. How can you take revenge on a storm?

Tiamat stood before him, and Bai Wujie, who had fallen from the body of the demon god, also stood before him.

Looking at Bai Wujie, and then at Tiamat, Goetia's almost dying gaze finally settled on the blue planet.

"Humans are truly unfortunate," Goetia suddenly chuckled, shaking her head and sighing...

"Even if I have lost, they will have no hope left... Even if they overcome all obstacles, all they will face is a steel apocalypse."

Goetia despises humanity, but he must admit that humanity in this world is an unfortunate existence.

Their birth was doomed from the start; even if they didn't incite the burning of humanity, other troubles would quickly come knocking.

Moreover, even without their misfortunes, in the end, they would either be slaughtered by the UOs invited by Gaia in the apocalypse of steel, or they would languish and wait to die on the hopeless lunar land.

Ha, now that Bai Wujie has prematurely ended their hopes, it's not such a cruel thing after all.

Anyway, we're all going to die eventually, so what difference does it make whether we die sooner or later?

Goetia raised his head, closed his eyes on the throne, and awaited death. At this moment, he neither wanted to say anything nor could he utter a word.

As for Bai Wujie, he had nothing to say, nor was he qualified to say anything. Regarding humanity, Goetia never believed he was wrong; he did what he wanted to do and what he should do, and then he failed—that was all.

As for those nonsensical things like finding countless reasons to justify one's failures, he neither would nor had the energy to do them.

Bai Wujie remained silent, watching the beast disintegrate into countless fragments.

Meanwhile, the entire planet's human order began to "restore"!

The errors were completely repaired, the heat from the scorching planet was absorbed, and Gaia, which had been dormant, awoke again. The planet's coordinates in this finite parallel universe began to reverse.

Just as a bug in the program was fixed, the program called Earth began to run again.

"They're yours now." Bai Wujie glanced at the obedient Tiamat, then calmly turned to his demon god...

"I'm going to mine on other planets. When I come back, take as much life from Earth as possible with me."

"Awoo!" Tiamat nodded seriously, clenching her fists as she looked at Earth with utmost seriousness and love.

As a mother, her duty was to save her children. To fulfill her responsibility, the responsibility of the "Ark"!

73. The Extinction of Pan-Human History

Chaldean

With the light of the spirit particle transfer, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu successfully transferred back to Chaldea... However, before they could even process the dizziness of recovering from the spirit particle state, a rapid alarm instantly woke them up.

Eek!! What on earth happened?!

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around in confusion, then snapped out of it amidst the piercing alarm and grabbed Mash, running towards the main control room!

In their hurried state, they didn't even notice the steadily solidifying golden spiritual light within their relocation area.

"Doctor, da Vinci, what on earth happened?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka rushed into the control room and shouted questions... but he didn't need to answer anything. What appeared in front of him was enough to tell him just how serious the situation was.

The source of that frantic alarm was none other than the simulated Earth environment model, Chaldea, located at the center of the main control room.

This azure planet, bound within multiple rings, is a magical artifact that replicates the soul of Earth. Chaldea uses this artifact, a mimicry of Gaia...

To observe and safeguard the so-called future where "civilization will still continue a hundred years from now"!

The seven red dots that once shone on it symbolized seven singularities that caused human history to be completely distorted and severed due to mistakes, and also represented the entirety of Fujimaru Ritsuka's "adventures" over the past year.

But now—the soul of that azure planet, as if polluted by something, has turned a blood-red color!

The last time this happened was during the burning of human beings!

This is definitely not a good thing. Such a blood-red planetary soul must signify a very "serious" matter!

It is a major event that could affect the entire history of humankind, or even cause a crisis on the planet!

What on earth happened?!

"The observation data from Chaldea shows a serious error—a large amount of spiritual energy is being rapidly lost!"

While anxiously reporting the results of his observations, Da Vinci explained to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, who had just returned...

"Chaldea has been in this state ever since you repaired the Seventh Singularity! We can't observe which point in time went wrong—we can't find the source of the problem!"

"The outside world is returning to normal," Dr. Roman said, his expression grim.

"This means our work on repairing the singularity is complete—the mastermind behind it all, the 'Magic King,' has been defeated without our knowledge, and the biggest node of the distortion has been completely repaired!"

"However, the energy stolen by the other side—the 3000 years of heat that should have been recovered by the planet as the singularity was repaired—was completely plundered! Now the entire planet is trying to fill the gaps by converting its surface material into spirit particles!"

If the normal repair process had been followed, the moment the Demon King was defeated...

Because the spacetime that was repaired because it never existed will allow the heat from the light wheel that he plundered to be contained and fed back to Earth, making up for the huge losses caused by the burning of human reason.

Solomon's self-destruction would eliminate Gaia from the source of cause and effect... but it is Gaia's job to correct the erroneous facts.

But now, this heat has been intercepted halfway—and the other party is clearly outside Gaia's jurisdiction, so Gaia has no way to reclaim the energy that was stolen from it...

This has led to a situation where the huge heat gap prevents the planet from properly replenishing its resources and repairing the lack of human intervention.

Therefore, Gaia chose to spiritualize all the natural environment within its range to fill the enormous void...

In the past, when spacetime was stable, the only way to prevent the creation of new singularities was to use spiritualized matter to fill the heat gap at the present point in time.

Without touching the inner sea of ​​the star, for the world surface nailed to the planet by the Holy Lance, the planet plundering matter and turning it into spiritual particles to make up for its progress... is equivalent to turning matter into a "blank sheet" that has no meaning or concept of existence.

Just like Gaia's action of taking away all the surface matter and energy of the planets after ruling the Lostbelts.

And the result of this is—

Even if we repair the singularity, at least 90% of the natural environment in this era will be rendered even more severely 'blank' than the nuclear wasteland. As for the extra humans—

Dr. Roman didn't finish his sentence, because the answer would surely be extremely cruel!

Humans are under the control of Alaya. Gaia does not have the ability to spiritualize humans to fill this huge heat gap, because Alaya would definitely oppose him.

But she doesn't need to do that; simply destroying her own ecosystem would cause humanity to starve to death.

"What—how could this happen!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's face turned pale. For the past year, he had been working hard to restore the world to normal and to survive... But now, after repairing all the singularities, he was facing such a cruel result!

"The satellite feed is back!!" Da Vinci exclaimed, then switched the satellite feed...

Under the scrutiny of several advanced spy satellites, within the London sphere... it seemed as if they were still living lives no different from those before humanity was burned to ashes...

A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and people are watching in horror as everything before them has turned into a blank sheet of paper.

Gaia's power forcibly seized all products that utilized natural resources, from trees to ores, from steel to stones—anything taken from the earth was mercilessly recycled by Gaia!

Such a crude and direct approach to recycling results in everything within sight becoming a "blank sheet"...

Ultimately, all of humanity's so-called brilliant civilizations are built upon the process of transforming nature.

In order to survive, Gaia, who had taken back all the material on the surface of the world and transformed it into spiritual particles, no longer cared about arguing with humans. She needed more material spiritual particles to fill the missing heat!

Live on!!

A simple and direct goal, the purpose that every life pursues from the day it is born.

Live on, live simply, and keep surviving!

But the result of the planet taking back its resources in order to survive is that it is difficult for humans to survive—when nature stops giving to us, how can humans survive on their own?

In the deathly silence, only Dr. Roman's expression grew increasingly grim—things were beyond his control and comprehension, completely out of his grasp.

The crimson light of Chaldea continued to flicker... and at this moment they understood the problem.

It's not a singularity, or rather, there is indeed a huge singularity here—that is the present moment.

Not any point in the past, but this very moment!

The divergence leading to the original future is severed at this moment, and what changes everything in history is the planet itself.

What are they supposed to do? Is the mistake that's happening now really a mistake?

Did this actually make them fix the "bug"?

A vast and silent despair enveloped the place. They had carried on their arduous journey and adventure to the very end, but now, it all seemed to have lost all meaning!

"Wait, the satellite images have detected something else!" Leonardo da Vinci suddenly noticed a black patch expanding in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in the satellite image and exclaimed loudly...

"It's a massive spirit-origin reaction! Based on the detection pattern—it's Beast2!!"

"How is this possible? How could the Beast from the Singularity have arrived in Pan-Human History?!"

In Leonardo da Vinci's incredulous voice, the darkness spreading across the middle of the Pacific Ocean was the black mud of the Chaos Tide!

The countless black muds, existing with an incalculable mass, spread across the center of the Pacific Ocean like dirt staining black and white paper, stretching for hundreds of nautical miles in an instant.

And what emerged from those countless black, filthy swamps were none other than the bizarre and monstrous beasts, Rahm, that drove people mad!

They flew out of the black mud, soared into the sky, and headed towards the coast with a long, unsettling, and terrifying howl, like that of a night demon.

From the center of that black mud, a colossal, stunningly beautiful woman rose up, her enormous horns and movements resembling the singing of a ballad.

Without a doubt, it's Tiamat.

"This is impossible! How could the problem of the singularity revert to the modern era?"

Da Vinci quickly adjusted the satellite images, observing Tiamat from all angles, his eyes fixed on the figure on the screen.

This situation was indeed beyond Leonardo da Vinci's comprehension; the singularity's phenomena were "wrong"...

Therefore, things generated in singularities cannot be brought back to the present time through normal channels.

This relates to the grandfather paradox—spiritual transfer is ultimately not true time travel; no one in this world can truly go back to the past!

“No, it’s possible,” Dr. Roman said in a low, hoarse voice.

"The Beast's true form exists in the Imaginary World, independent of the main timeline, much like the Throne of Heroes. And given enough people, in any era, it is possible to summon the Beast!"

"We failed to defeat Tiamat in Uruk, and now she has followed us into the modern era!"

……

“Allllllllllll——”

Swaying melodies bloomed above this dark ocean. Tiamat gently hugged the back of her hands, gazing at the ever-expanding tide of chaos, her eyes filled with joy and tenderness.

Her children will soon stay with her forever.

Tiamat was born a mother, designed as a producer of natural life... designed as an ark to carry life away from calamity, which was like a sacred duty to her.

But when she was betrayed, used as a stepping stone by the children she raised, abandoned, and no longer able to fulfill her duty, that was undoubtedly her most painful moment.

But now, things are different.

Bai Wujie granted her a brand new choice: she could take her children—whether obedient or rebellious—onto her ark and sail towards a wonderful new world!

This time, no one will betray her.

Even her child is Bai Wujie, the master who bestowed all of this upon her. He possesses power far exceeding hers; Tiamat was able to sense his thoughts when their souls intersected in the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers.

He disdained to lie, and would never do something like discarding someone after they've served their purpose. As long as Tiamat continued to perform her duties, Bai Wujie would give her everything she wanted.

That's enough.

As for abandoning her own planet, Tiamat wouldn't have any feelings for it. In fact, if she did, they would only be disappointment, hatred, and disgust.

A terrifying tide of chaos is advancing towards one end of the Pacific Ocean... and what's even more terrifying is that all of humanity's military forces have now been wiped out.

Gaia is taking back everything to fill its void, knowing that this will leave humanity completely defenseless against Tiamat, but so what?

What does the existence of humans have to do with Gaia?
