Chapter 121: Chapter 107: Memory Loop

This was the truth of it all.

...

"Do you really have to kill me?"

"That’s impossible. You can’t possibly do it."

The more amicable Chen Qi seemed, the more clearly he explained, the more panicked Trudeau became.

’The man is acting with such impunity because he’s certain he can kill me!’

’But how is that possible?’

...

"It looks like you’ve realized what’s happening. That’s right. You’re about to die for good."

"I know you find this hard to believe. Unfortunately, this is reality."

"I didn’t destroy your Consciousness before because, frankly, I couldn’t kill you completely back then. And if you don’t pull a weed out by its Root, it’ll just grow back."

"So I fought you, round after round, putting on an act the whole time. The goal was simple: to lock onto your Spirituality’s frequency."

"Only by finding that frequency could I be certain of pulling your Spirituality and main Consciousness completely into this game."

"Thankfully, I finally succeeded. Perhaps it’s because you poured so much of your obsession into the Insect Emperor. The moment that Alien was simulated, I managed to capture your Spirituality’s frequency from it."

"From the perspective of a virtual World, simulating a life form requires a bit of the creator’s Spirituality to be mixed in. And you completed that step without even realizing it."

Chen Qi’s words were calm and not difficult to understand.

But this only deepened the despair in Trudeau’s heart.

He was being convinced. If his Spirituality and main Consciousness were truly pulled in, he would really die.

"And now, it is time to witness the destruction of a World."

"Unfortunately, you’ll have to watch this scene alone. In order to pull your Consciousness and Spirituality in for complete annihilation, the game has to run on overload."

"This World was hastily designed, after all. It will most likely collapse completely, so I won’t be staying to keep you company."

"Origin: Collapse!"

With a cruel smile, Chen Qi pointed a finger. In the next instant, a Black Hole appeared before Trudeau.

The moment the Black Hole appeared, it locked firmly onto Trudeau.

Its pull was so terrifying it felt as if anything and everything in existence would be sucked into that bottomless darkness.

Trudeau felt everything around him begin to flatten. The sky, the ground, even the metallic mountains—it all stretched out like noodles.

He couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, if he himself was being flattened, or if the entire World was being Devoured by the Black Hole.

But one thing he knew for sure was that he was finished.

His main Consciousness and Spirituality were actually being dragged over.

In the next instant, everything returned to the Void.

...

Above Immortal Lake, the Cyan Lotus World withered and decayed, as if focusing all its Energy to gestate a single lotus seed.

The next moment, the overly compressed magnetic field finally broke free from its restraints and once again unleashed its brilliance upon the world.

A brilliant aurora rose from Immortal Lake, followed by a massive magnetic storm.

’So he actually got taken out?’

’Can I admit I was only thirty percent sure it would work? The design is still far from complete, after all.’

’Poor Trudeau. If you hadn’t wavered, I never would have succeeded.’

’After all, the essence of Spirituality is perception. If you had just remained firm, it would have taken ten times the effort to pull you in.’

’But I only had three. So in the end, you can only blame yourself for your death.’

’How naive can you be, believing your enemy in the middle of a fight?’

’Everything I told you was the truth, but that doesn’t mean you should have believed it!’

Chen Qi sighed. He really didn’t like killing people.

Trudeau’s final fluctuation of Spirituality seemed to have come from the south. If he hurried now, he could probably still make it in time to loot the body.

Chen Qi was quite confident he could find the body.

The contamination from a LV3 ability was too conspicuous. Trudeau was bound to die from the Card Rebound, and his corpse would be a miniature source of contamination.

Everything went exactly as Chen Qi had predicted. Thirty seconds later, he found Trudeau’s remains inside a cave.
