Simulation of Destruction, Why Am I Always the Arbiter

K's word was law among the leadership, but rallying the general populace required a proper reason.

Having Ye Chang'an hold a concert there would be quite suitable.

As for dispatching troops... what a joke. The area where the experimental subjects were located was in Germany.

Sending the Mu Continent's army to Germany would be tantamount to declaring war on Germany.

No reason would ever allow them to send troops there.

"So, it's up to you. Go to Germany and hold a concert. I can arrange the venue with them."

Patting Ye Chang'an on the shoulder, K settled the matter.

Ye Chang'an had no choice but to accept and negotiate terms with K to ensure his safety.

After leaving, he felt somewhat restless and decided to take his sports car out for a spin.

Driving through the brightly lit city streets and onto the ring road, he gazed at the dazzling Imperial Capital. His dark eyes flickered, and he let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, why do some people always have to court disaster?"

Before coming to the Imperial Capital, his mood had been excellent. He spent his days playing music and holding concerts with Eden, and occasionally visited Mobius to assist with her research.

His life was fulfilling and pleasant, filled with so much joy that he never worried about Destruction again.

A destroyed home could be rebuilt, and mutated creatures could be killed.

As long as people were alive, Destruction was not a problem.

But after arriving at the Imperial Capital and meeting K, his peace vanished.

"Mobius, why do researchers always like to stir up trouble?"

He called Mobius, habitually discussing anything related to Destruction with her.

Heavy topics were not suitable for Eden to know about.

After listening to his account, Mobius directly stated the reason.

"Because you've lowered the perceived danger of Destruction too much, so much that those idiots think they can handle it."

Human nature is complex. Even when faced with unknown fear, different thoughts arise.

Some are so scared they want to stay away, while others are so arrogant they believe they can overcome it.

None of these thoughts are wrong.

But some people make mistakes because they can't see themselves clearly.

"Before you spread the Chang'an Melody, the research on Destruction by scientists was aimed at treating and dealing with Destruction. But after that, this research has transformed into controlling Destruction."

The appearance of any unknown entity will stir up a wave of research.

Gunpowder was like that, so was oil, and so is Destruction.

If gunpowder and oil were poisons that would kill upon contact, this wave of research wouldn't be so high.

After all, researchers are human too; they fear death and would be hesitant in their research.

But the threat posed by these two was not very high, so research progressed quickly, and gunpowder and oil were soon utilized.

However, Destruction energy, which posed a very high threat, became less threatening under the effect of the Chang'an Melody.

"Destruction energy that doesn't easily threaten life is seen as a buried treasure by researchers. Of course, they want to dig a path as quickly as possible to obtain and utilize this treasure. After all, they only know it's a treasure but don't understand the danger it poses to humanity. You've already solved the only visibly harmful aspect, Destruction Sickness, haven't you?"

Mobius precisely and meticulously analyzed the underlying reasons for the researchers' troublemaking, causing Ye Chang'an to nod repeatedly. He then asked for advice:

"Is there any way to make these researchers calm down? I'm genuinely afraid that if they continue like this, they'll create an Arbiter."

An Arbiter would eventually arrive, but he hoped it would be later, much later.

"There's no way. This kind of thing can't be controlled. Even if you try to suppress it, people will still research it in private."

Mobius flatly refused, then added a non-solution.

"Unless they can clearly understand the severe consequences of infusing Destruction energy into the human body, for instance, by witnessing an Arbiter firsthand."

People only learn their lesson after being hit; they only remember after suffering a loss.

It's quite pathetic.

Ye Chang'an understood this principle, but the appearance of an Arbiter was not something he could control.

After much thought, he came up with a plan, ended the call, and dialed his old leader.

After adding some conditions, the old leader agreed immediately, without any negotiation.

"This old man is surprisingly kind~"

Ye Chang'an muttered as he put down his phone, his impression of the old leader improving slightly.

He seemed to be a good person who truly cared for the people, even daring to agree to those outrageous additional conditions.

"That's how it is."

He smiled, feeling a little better. He drove home and told Eden he was going to Germany.

"Going to Germany for a concert? When?" Eden asked casually, not thinking much of it, just needing to confirm the time to adjust her schedule.

She had recently started dabbling in things other than music, like fashion design and modeling, other art-related pursuits.

Though they were just diversions, she was very invested in them.

"December 24th, next week."

"Mmm~ I already have plans that day." Eden frowned, then her face brightened into a smile. "I'll make a call and postpone it. I'll go to Germany with you then."

As she said this, she picked up her phone to make the call, but Ye Chang'an stopped her.

"You don't need to come along. I can go alone this time."

Even if Eden hadn't had plans, Ye Chang'an wouldn't have let her go.

There were some risks involved, and even after discussing countermeasures with K, he couldn't completely relax.

"You really don't need me to?"

"No, you don't. Just focus on your own things."

"Hee hee~ Then I'll trouble my husband." Eden smiled and gave him a kiss, then hooked her arm around his neck and reminded him, "You can't fool around with other women over there, or I'll get angry."

This would be the first time she and Ye Chang'an would be apart, so she thought she'd give him a little reminder.

"You'll only get angry?" Ye Chang'an raised an eyebrow and asked. Eden responded with a bright smile.

"Of course, I'll only get angry. What else could I do, divorce you? I'm too fond of you for that."

Whoever divorces whom is a fool.

"I'm too fond of you too," Ye Chang'an said with a smile, hugging Eden's waist and making a promise.

"Don't worry, I'll only love you in this life. I won't fool around." A man should have principles.

He can love them all, but he can't touch them all.

Therefore, he would never do anything inappropriate with any woman other than Eden in this life.

PS: Highly recommend a good book, "I'm in Honkai: Star Rail, Stop Tagging Me!"

Synopsis:

Matthew Luo, who transmigrated to the world of Honkai: Star Rail, accidentally joined a chat group. Upon seeing another member in the chat group was Son Goku from Dragon Ball, he directly chose to transmigrate there to become his disciple.

From this moment on, the gears of fate began to turn slowly, and his life of overwork began.

[Son Goku]: "Alo, Cell is about to explode! I've packed him up and sent him to you. Figure out how to deal with him for me!"

[Cosmic Bassist]: "Urgent, urgent, urgent! A talking mutated lobster has appeared in Shimokitazawa, claiming to be from Fukushima. Alo, hurry up and save me! I'll give you Little Pochita as a reward."

[Gudako]: "Alo, I'm surrounded by Demon Pillars! Hurry and come here to blast them away."

Looking at the various monstrous and demonic messages in the group, he rapidly typed on his screen, his expression collapsing, and sent a message.

[Fungal Mushroom]: "Stop tagging me, everyone! QAQ"

Chapter of Creation: Journey to a New World: 30. Germany, Berlin, Honkai, Element Detected

A piece of news titled "Sleepless Chang'an to Hold Special Concert in German Capital" appeared online, and it rapidly dominated all trending searches.

The power of capital was vividly displayed at this moment, and almost everyone knew about it.

However, when they tried to buy tickets, they discovered that this concert would not be selling tickets. Instead, lucky audience members would be selected globally through a lottery.

Furthermore, once selected, there was no need to worry about expenses, as all costs would be covered by the Mu Continent authorities.

Food, accommodation, and airfare were all included, making it the most special performance in history.

"I want to be the lucky one! I want to see Chang'an's concert."

"The lucky one is me, the lucky one is me! I must be chosen!"

Fans prayed they would be among the lucky winners, but luck did not favor everyone equally.

"Haha, I was chosen! I was chosen~"

"Sigh, I wasn't chosen. What a shame."

"To the one who was chosen, sell me your ticket! I'll pay a hundred thousand."

There was joy for some and sorrow for others, and some even tried to use their wealth.

The authorities tacitly approved of ticket scalping because K simply needed people to attend the concert to dilute the Honkai energy.

Thus, the hundred thousand tickets corresponded to a hundred thousand audience members, all of whom flocked to the German capital without exception, almost overwhelming the capital.

It wasn't that the capital couldn't accommodate a hundred thousand people, but rather that far more than a hundred thousand people had arrived.

It doesn't say you need a ticket to come. If you have money and time, you can come whenever you want.

Anyway, this performance is outdoors, so even if there are no seats, you can find a spot nearby to stand and listen.

So, when Ye Chang'an arrived above the stage via his private jet, what he saw was a vast sea of people, which startled him.

"There are just too many people."

He clicked his tongue, and Maris covered her face beside him.

"There's no helping it. The fans were too excited for your special performance. They all came when they heard it was an outdoor event."

This massive crowd of people, let alone a hundred thousand, could almost break a million.

It was like they were gathering to occupy the capital of Germany.

Ye Chang'an was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

He had to choose an outdoor venue.

It would be easier to escape if an Arbiter were to appear.

As for the audience below... sorry, he couldn't manage them.

He could only pray in his heart that no Arbiter would appear during this performance.

He sensed the concentration of Destruction energy in this area. It was very, very low.

—It seems they've already diluted it.

He felt a little relieved and began to wait for the concert to start.

In the Northern Hemisphere, December is still winter. The concert was scheduled to start at night, and it was outdoors.
