"Looking for a world where the protagonist never wins? Aren't there plenty of worlds like that? What was there to look for?" a staff officer asked.
"Give me a chestnut," Red asked with great interest.
"For example, Romeo and Juliet, Tang Bohu and Zhu Yingtai, Othello... Not to mention all the anime worlds, like Doomsday Question and X at School." The staff officer clearly seemed knowledgeable, though his tone was somewhat nervous.
After all, he was talking to an ultra-super-duper-big BOSS.
"It's Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai." Red first corrected the mistake that might have been caused by the man's nerves. "What you said was very good and very correct. Those are all tragedies, but they are not worlds. Their protagonists are merely the leads of plays, not the protagonists of worlds."
The staff officer fell silent. He still could not understand the question.
They were looking for an absolute tragedy, a world where the protagonist could not win?
If the other party was not mistaken, then wasn't his own world exactly that? From the moment the world was born, it had been destined for Heat Death, just as a person, from the moment they were born, was destined to walk toward death.
Many believed there might be no Heat Death. Once all the stars went out, the universe would contract again and begin another cycle.
The problem was that Heat Death was not a fantasy, but a scientific deduction.
When all usable energy in the universe was converted into thermal energy, and all matter reached thermal equilibrium—
This state was called Heat Death.
In such a universe, there would no longer be any energy capable of sustaining movement or life.
This had been deduced from the thermodynamic principle of mechanical energy loss in nature.
"So, did you find one?"
