Volume 9, Chapter 5 – Yunchou’s Thoughts

“Is even a Throne-tier attack unable to destroy it?”

In everyone’s understanding, the combat power and destructive force of a Throne-tier existence were comparable to nuclear weapons. No, they should be several times stronger than nuclear weapons.

And attacks capable of producing such levels of destruction were merely casual strikes for a Throne-tier.

Yet… such a casual strike, overwhelmingly powerful beyond measure, had been blocked by a Light Orb that looked completely ordinary.

Thus, a conclusion was reached. Throne-tier attacks were unable to cause effective damage.

“Don’t underestimate the protection of the world. To destroy such protection, it would require at least a hundred times the strength of a Throne-tier attack.”

In reality, one plus one equals two.

But the hundredfold strength Tianyin calculated was absolutely not a literal hundred times.

One hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand Throne-tier beings attacking the Light Orb together would still be completely useless.

“The situation has changed. The Hub cannot be destroyed for now……”

“Conclusion reached. The subsequent opportunities and steps must be recalculated.”

With only her rational mind remaining, Tianyin’s thoughts began operating at high speed as she stood before the Light Orb, calculating what to do next.

Behind Tianyin, more than a hundred silver-haired girls of various forms yet all possessing beautiful faces stood expressionlessly, guarding Tianyin as she silently contemplated.

Of course, even while Tianyin was quietly thinking, unexpected situations still occurred.

“Who are you?!”

Accompanied by a powerful shout of warning, the laboratory that had fallen into silence welcomed new visitors once again.

However, this time they were not people Tianyin had brought over from another world, but natives of this world. In other words, players who called themselves outsiders.

The leading player radiated an overwhelming aura, the pressure he gave off as heavy as a mountain. Behind him stood dozens of players holding all kinds of weapons.

“You…”

Although these silver-haired girls all possessed strength comparable to Throne-tier beings, because they were created by the Supreme through special means, they did not carry the aura of the powerful.

Thus, upon seeing the silver-haired girls surrounding Tianyin, the leading player instinctively ignored them.

This subconscious reaction was understandable. After all, these silver-haired girls did not give off much pressure, so overlooking them was only natural.

Moreover, the weakest among these players possessed King-tier templates, not to mention those with Epic-tier and Legendary-tier templates.

Yet these powers that allowed them to dominate this world were, to Tianyin, things that could be created casually.

Just like now.

As that player’s voice broke the stillness of the laboratory and pulled Tianyin out of her contemplation…

The silver-haired girls who had been quietly guarding Tianyin moved.

So fast that it was impossible to capture with the naked eye. And not only that. Before those players could even react, they were already separated head from body……

In just an instant, this group of uninvited guests who barged into the laboratory was mercilessly wiped out. From beginning to end, Tianyin, who stood before the Light Orb, never made a move.

Instead, Tianyin once again fell into deep thought.

……

“Has the war at the Northern Fortress already ended?”

At the center of the Kingdom Faction, Yunchou, who sat as the King of Knights ruling the entire faction, sat high upon the throne, looking down at the battle reports delivered by his subordinates.

The war at the Northern Fortress had ended abruptly. After the entire battle, the Abyssal Lord of the demon side was either dead or alive, her whereabouts unknown. And the sovereign of the Dawn faction, Tianyin, also seemed to have disappeared.

Although the core members of Dawn believed that Tianyin might have merely been heavily injured after the great battle with the Abyssal Lord, and believed she had not left the Northern Fortress, even after several days of searching, there was still no trace of Tianyin.

“Of course you can’t find her. After all, she is no longer her…”

Thinking of the colorless Light Orb he had encountered in his memories, Yunchou’s mood was actually quite complicated.

After all, at the very beginning, the purpose of his rebirth was to stop Tianyin from becoming the End. But as the number of rebirths increased, Yunchou discovered that no matter how he tried to stop it, Tianyin would eventually still become the world-destroyer known as the End.

And in the eyes of the End, everything needed to be cleansed, everything needed to be destroyed.

So, after his final struggle, Yunchou chose to give up. As he gradually explored new approaches, Yunchou began guiding Tianyin toward a path of protecting the world.

But… this method also had no effect.

Because once Tianyin integrated with the System, the human part of her would be discarded. And without humanity, she became a purely calculating, thinking machine.

Moreover, a machine that external forces could not interfere with, one that was single-mindedly bent on destroying the world.

Yunchou had tried all kinds of methods. Yet no matter how perfect the path in between appeared, in the end, Tianyin would still become the form he feared the most.

So… Yunchou chose to go with the flow.

The first Tianyin had followed such a path to become the End. And in this life, this time, Yunchou was actually letting Tianyin walk the original path once more.

He did not make Tianyin become a fair and impartial King of Knights like in some worlds.

Nor did he make Tianyin become a selflessly devoted little Priest like in other worlds.

The current Tianyin was exactly like the first time Yunchou experienced. She met and came to know Xingyu Muxi, eventually creating Dawn.

After enduring countless hardships, she was finally defeated by the Abyssal Lord. Then, at the critical moment, she became the End and completely killed the Abyssal Lord.

“By now, she should have already descended into the real world.”

As for what Tianyin would do the moment she became the End, Yunchou could say he understood it perfectly.

Of course, even though he knew Tianyin’s movements, Yunchou also knew that with his current abilities, he was incapable of stopping any of Tianyin’s actions.

And in any case, Yunchou did not want to stop her.

After all, he was not here to be a savior. His purpose was only to save one person… a single girl.

What if the world was destroyed? He could send the girl to another safe world. What if Tianyin wanted to destroy the world? World destruction did not conflict with his purpose at all.

“But before that, I can’t let you, as the End, return to this world so easily…”

With a plan already formed in his heart, Yunchou still muttered it aloud to himself.

Of course, Yunchou was not worried about his thoughts being heard by Tianyin, because at this moment, Tianyin was no longer in this game world…

Translator Note

God damnnn! What a plot twist!

The real villain is not Yunchou nor the System Light Orb, but it was Tianyin all along?!
