Volume 8, Chapter 42 – Anticipate Death, Human

For the Light Orb that could even freeze time and had calculated that Yunchou came from a parallel world, dealing with Yunchou could be said to be extremely easy.

Even though Yunchou possessed Throne-tier power.

To the Light Orb, however, Throne-tier was nothing more than ants.

“However, she is the Supreme.”

After Yunchou exposed the truth, the System Light Orb’s initial judgment was to erase Yunchou on the spot.

But after a few seconds of calculating an attack, the System canceled that decision.

“So what if you know the truth? To me, even Throne-tier cannot disrupt my plan. Pitiful one from a parallel world, based solely on the fact that you have traversed countless parallel worlds, I can already determine that you have failed countless times.”

“And from that, it can also be inferred that you cannot influence my plan at all.”

Compared to its initial impulse, the System ultimately spoke these words through calm reasoning.

It had to be admitted that the System’s words were extremely accurate.

Yunchou, who had repeated everything countless times, had never once succeeded.

He had traveled through innumerable worlds and tried countless methods. There were even several times when success was right in front of him.

But in the very end… everything still collapsed.

Since Yunchou had encountered countless failures, then Yunchou himself was a complete and utter failure. And as a failure, the System Light Orb did not need to pay him any special attention.

To the System Light Orb, rather than erasing Yunchou now, it was better to wait until the very end and let Yunchou fall into despair on his own.

After all, although it was regrettable for someone to die in the process of pursuing their ideals, compared to witnessing the collapse of their ideals with their own eyes, the former was clearly the more merciful outcome.

Giving everything only to receive a tragic ending. To a Light Orb that thought purely through reason, perhaps this kind of result was the greatest punishment for Yunchou’s offense.

Of course… this punishment that the System Light Orb believed in appeared to Yunchou as nothing more than the arrogance belonging solely to that existence.

Yes, arrogance.

Sending him into endless parallel worlds, allowing him to fall into despair again and again.

But even so… Yunchou was unwilling to admit that he would fail forever.

The probability of success was only one in hundreds of millions, so small it was almost zero. But even so, he believed that one day, there would be a time when he succeeded.

This was the belief Yunchou had upheld until now, and it was also a belief the System Light Orb could never understand.

In the end, the System removed the restraints on Yunchou, allowing him to speak again.

“In my eyes, you are an utterly insignificant existence. Although in your world there is a saying about a great dam collapsing because of an ant hole, to me, such a result only occurs because the danger of ants was not anticipated.”

“But in my eyes, your existence is not even as significant as an ant capable of causing a dam to collapse. So killing you now is a completely trivial matter.”

The System’s cold, mechanical voice was like a winter gale, carrying an icy chill that pierced the bone.

Yet in Yunchou’s eyes, these words were still overflowing with arrogance.

“Ah… in your eyes, I really am as insignificant as an ant. In your eyes, everything can be calculated and predicted. But… didn’t you say yourself that you are not truly omniscient? So if you are not omniscient, there must be that tiny gap you overlook. I will definitely… definitely be able to find it…”

“Even if such a possibility exists, it is not something an existence like you can achieve. You cannot touch the core of my plan. And in my settings, it is impossible for her to have feelings toward the opposite sex. So if you intend to start from emotions, then you can give up.”

Regarding possible accidents, the System Light Orb, which relied on rational thought, had already anticipated the vague possibility of ‘love’ long ago.

‘Love’ could make people blind. Although among humans, ‘love’ was merely a feeling born from hormones between the opposite sex and the instinct for reproduction.

However, sometimes this intangible and invisible emotion had a high chance of disrupting its plans.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the System Light Orb had already accounted for this.

In its understanding, love only appeared between the opposite sex. Even if love arose between the same sex, it would be insignificant.

After all, girls, compared to boys… were more emotional beings. And as emotional beings, they might even push its plans forward to a certain extent.

And this… was precisely why the System Light Orb said those words to Yunchou.

“So in your eyes, even emotions are something you can manipulate?”

Yunchou had experienced countless worlds. Although he still looked like a youth on the surface, having lived through many years, he was no longer the naïve boy he once was.

He only needed a few seconds of thought to understand what the System was implying.

Understanding it was one thing, but realizing that even such matters were included in the System’s plans filled Yunchou with shock.

In countless worlds before, the existence before him had never told him this. And now… it revealed a truth that left him deeply shaken…

“How ruthless. But even the Supreme being treated as a chess piece, such ruthlessness could only belong to you, right?”

“Ruthless? No. I simply think through problems rationally. To me, to accomplish something, one must use the optimal solution. Naturally, to prevent failure caused by accidents, while executing a plan, various safeguards must also be arranged to deal with contingencies.”

Compared to the coldness Yunchou described, the System preferred to call its actions rational.

And such a System appeared to Yunchou as a machine-like existence devoid of emotion.

Then the question arose… before Yunchou, the System was this cold and heartless. Yet before Tianyin, why did the System appear enthusiastic?

Regarding this point, even Yunchou, who had learned of the System’s other side, could not make sense of it…

Seeing Yunchou fall silent after hearing everything, the System’s initial intent to probe him vanished completely.

“It seems my calculations were not wrong. You from the parallel worlds should have been delivered by the End of the parallel worlds. Why the End did this cannot be calculated, but for now, it appears you cannot interfere with my plan.”

Then… patiently await your death in the near future, human.”

In the end, the disinterested System Light Orb dissipated into nothingness before Yunchou’s eyes.
