Prologue

"Reincarnator No. 1025896, welcome back."

The Main God's voice sounded by his ear. Though utterly devoid of emotion, Mo Xiao still found it deeply familiar.

This was already his sixth time returning from a mission. Compared to those Reincarnators who died after only one or two missions, he was doing far better.

The deception and scheming within the Main God Space had utterly shattered the worldview of Mo Xiao, a model young man of the twenty-first century.

It could be said that every Reincarnator who survived here had climbed over the bones of others.

Aside from his first mission, when Mo Xiao had been used as bait by his own team and had both legs bitten off by monsters, he had not suffered any particularly severe injuries in the other missions.

However, that Reincarnation Squad had also been wiped out. During Mo Xiao's third reincarnation mission, he could no longer endure being used as bait. Even the Reincarnation Points he earned had to be handed over! It was practically no different from a farming team!

By a stroke of luck, he ruthlessly tricked several squad members to their deaths. Even though the captain realized something was wrong in the end, there was nothing he could do.

Because at the time, he was already fighting the final boss.

As for Mo Xiao, the seasoned newbie, he hid far away. Only after the battle ended did he see the captain, having played every card he had, narrowly escape death time and again. Yet in the end, both sides were critically wounded and on the verge of death.

Mo Xiao feared they would survive and continue suffering, so he mercifully put them out of their misery.

Nothing wrong with that. Mo Xiao was the only survivor of that mission. Even after the thousand Reincarnation Points deducted for killing the captain, he still made quite a profit, exchanging it all for many useful items and spending every last point.

That was what allowed him to breeze through the next few missions with relative ease. Having earned another batch of Reincarnation Points, Mo Xiao did not hurry to exchange them for items or abilities. Instead, he returned to his personal space.

The entire place exuded the aura of an otaku. If any Reincarnator who had fought Mo Xiao saw it, they would surely be dumbfounded. This style was completely incompatible with the ruthless Mo Xiao!

Although in the Main God Space, the longer one survived, the more deranged one became. Their minds gradually twisted until they could do all manner of utterly insane things.

But people like Mo Xiao, who could still retain their... well... original heart, were exceedingly rare.

His entire personal space was filled with Kurumi Tokisaki figurines and posters. There were even quite a few life-sized ones. More outrageously, there was also a statue...

Kurumi Tokisaki had been Mo Xiao's favorite anime character back on Earth, without question. When he arrived in the Main God Space, rather than feeling nervous, he had actually been a little excited. After all, he had been an orphan on Earth, with no attachments.

Perhaps by coming to this so-called Main God Space, he would get to meet his Goddess, Kurumi Tokisaki! Maybe one of his missions would even take place in the world of Date A Live.

Sadly, ideals were beautiful, but reality was cruel. After nearly dying during his first mission, Mo Xiao realized that this was not a vacation. People really, truly died here!

He fought desperately to survive, astonishing the official members of the squad who had used him as bait. Other than repairing his injuries, he had to hand over all his remaining Reincarnation Points, but he did not despair.

Didn't novels say that as long as newcomers survived their first mission, they got one free chance to create a person? Mo Xiao grew excited every time he thought of it.

In the end... this Main God did not offer such benefits. After he cursed the Main God for being pathetic, he was thrown into solitary confinement and was not released until his second mission.

He had no choice. Though he was still cursing the Main God internally for being a scammer, everything he said aloud was praise for the Main God. It seemed every living creature liked flattery... Did the Main God count as a living creature?

Who knew? Why bother thinking about it? If he survived the next mission, then he could ponder such meaningless things!

Although Mo Xiao desperately wanted to exchange for Kurumi Tokisaki's abilities, anything involving "time" or "space" was outrageously expensive, far beyond what he could afford.

But a person's imagination was always active. Mo Xiao still exchanged for two highly realistic replica flintlock pistols, using various Magic Imprints for slowing and accelerating to imitate Kurumi.

He also exchanged for Mastery of Firearms. He put on quite a show in front of the newbies, then used them as bait.

As for whether they lived or died, that was none of Mo Xiao's concern. He merely wanted less trouble and wished to prevent everyone from getting hurt.

Hadn't the other veterans agreed to do the same? Their sacrifices were necessary. Besides, who had not been bait before?

Just as Mo Xiao was thinking over his past experiences.

Boom—boom—

"Warning. Enemy invasion detected. Invasion level... [Extreme Omega]."

"An emergency mission is now being issued. All Reincarnators are forcibly recalled to assist the Main God in resisting the invading enemy."

"Mission objective: Repel them!"

"Mission reward: Every participating survivor will have their authority raised by one level. Exchange requirements will be unlocked. Reincarnation Points will be distributed according to contribution."

Gathered in the ruined plaza of the Main God Space, the Reincarnators whispered among themselves. The rewards for this mission were absurdly generous. The "exchange requirements unlocked" alone was enough to make most people risk their lives.

Normally, exchanging for rare and more valuable items required so-called "exchange requirements."

Yet obtaining those things was immensely difficult and endlessly frustrating. But there was no helping it.

In other words, as long as they participated in this mission and survived, their strength could increase geometrically!

Everyone accepted the mission. Their current missions had been forcibly terminated, so they could simply treat this as a replacement mission, though this one looked exceptionally... dangerous!

But who in the Main God Space had not emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood? They were desperadoes with their heads tied to their belts. If they gambled on this, wouldn't their strength soar?

No one believed the Main God could be defeated. Though they could not imagine what kind of existence could confront the Main God head-on.

But the Main God had existed for so long. Its immense power was beyond all comparison, and every rebel had died without even knowing how.

Mo Xiao was also eager to try, but when he saw powerful Reincarnators continuously flying into outer space, his little thoughts immediately vanished... He could not yet survive in space. He was not even qualified to join the fight, so what was the point of going up there?

Thus, Mo Xiao decisively accepted the mission and slipped aside, preparing to watch this great battle that occurred only once in countless eras.

Boom—

He could not see what kind of existence it was. Sound should not have traveled through the vacuum, yet Mo Xiao still heard a sound like the punch of a giant.

Endless chaotic currents formed a massive fist that made even the stars pale in comparison, smashing toward the powerful Reincarnators who had flown out into space.

Mo Xiao's pupils shrank to pinpoints. With a single punch, those Reincarnators who were at least Gamma-level vanished, as though they had never existed in the river of time.

The fist continued toward the Main God Plaza without slowing. Mo Xiao desperately tried to enter his personal space, but no matter how he called for the Main God, there was no response...

Perhaps the Main God was also going all out now, with no energy to spare for weaklings like them.

Without any surprise, that giant fist surging with endless chaotic currents slammed fiercely into the Main God Plaza.

One shockwave reduced Mo Xiao's body to fragments. His soul rose high into the air. The Main God Plaza had become ruins, and not a single Reincarnator had survived...

The second shockwave came!

Before him, Mo Xiao watched the souls of the other Reincarnators vanish one by one into nothingness. He closed his eyes as well. Compared to ordinary humans who spent their entire lives on Earth, he had already been fortunate enough, hadn't he?

At least he had witnessed the prosperity of several worlds, witnessed the potential people unleashed in despair, witnessed the twisted hearts of those whose minds had been warped, witnessed...

It had been a vibrant journey, after all. His only regret... was that he had never gone to the world of Date A Live to meet his Goddess...

That power capable of annihilating everything was about to strike Mo Xiao when a ray of light suddenly entered his soul. Space forcibly warped slightly, then he vanished...

Within this universe, the giant fist formed from endless chaotic currents scattered apart as well. All that remained was the devastated battlefield stretching across dozens of light-years, silently telling the story of what had happened here...
