About Bubbles
The dark earth.
When Su Lin opened his eyes, he saw countless black dust particles floating in the sky. It was like a mysterious world in a heavy snowfall, shrouded in a suffocating and eerie atmosphere. Two enormous stars hung in the distant sky, as if they were about to fall at any moment.
"This is... Black Ash?"
A speck of Black Ash landed on my arm, and a sharp pain immediately shot through my skin. Then, something even more terrifying than the corrosive effects of sulfuric acid—no, something even more horrifying—appeared.
"Rikku."
When Takanashi Rikka appeared, she immediately cast a True Magic on her own body and herself, completely resisting the damage from the Black Ash.
"Looks like this is the place."
6000 years before the official start of the World of "Game of Life" storyline, the God of Games was still just a concept, and humanity couldn't even be called a formal race.
[Host, combat strength analysis complete. You are capable of defeating all individuals except the War God, including Old Deus.]
"Is the War God invincible?"
The War God is conceptually the strongest, and defeating him requires taking on enormous risks.
"So, you mean we can't confront them head-on?"
She didn't come here to fight; it's only been five minutes since X Spiritron Dress III. Although a single blow could destroy a country, the top six races in this world also possess weapons of similar power.
Even if Rikku gives you a fatal buff in five minutes, it won't help. Once you regress to stage two, it will be very difficult to face the Upper Race at the front.
Shokuhou Misaki is a huge bug; theoretically, she can directly control enemies, and according to the system's explanation, she's effective against almost all living beings (as long as they possess emotions). However, Shokuhou Misaki's fragile body and pitifully short range of influence mean that she'll likely be defeated before she even gets close to the enemy's magic.
Abigail, however, is currently too weak to draw upon the power of the Evil God. Although she does possess the ability to inflict irreparable psychological trauma on her opponents.
At this moment, what appeared in his sight were astonishing, towering pillars, which he couldn't tell were made of crystal or something else, but they felt hard and cold to the touch.
He closed his eyes, as if he could feel the omnipresent magic in the air.
"Black Ash, it seems to be the corpse of Elf Race?"
The Elf Race ranks third among the sixteen races.
Rumor has it that the power of these powerful creatures comes from the Elf Corridor, but before coming to this world, Su Lin hadn't watched any anime or read any novels, so his understanding of this world was limited.
For safety, he transformed into Kurotama and summoned Yukino.
Oh, you're asking why we summoned Yukino?
Of course it's from... well, I mean from exercising.
Black Ash is great; it directly destroys the skin and continuously causes damage. As long as the amount of Black Ash can be offset by self-healing, then one can exercise continuously for 24 hours.
And so, the moment she appeared, Yukino, who had no buffs, was immediately injured by tiny snowflakes.
Completely ignoring the pain, she acted as if nothing had happened and began to follow in Kurotama's footsteps, leaping across the giant pillar.
"It's so quiet, I can't see any living things for now. System, is the species density in this world very low?"
[Very low; the more advanced the species, the fewer there are.]
"It seems so. If there were too many apex predators, the planet would have exploded long ago."
Even for Upper Race, destroying a planet isn't easy. Being able to do it doesn't mean it can be done without paying a price.
"Um."
She landed gently halfway up the mountain and saw several figures hidden in black robes running wildly on the ground a few hundred meters away.
"Humans!"
Human beings in this world are a group of lives worthy of respect.
In an era where survival itself is a challenge, humanity has been constantly struggling against the harsh natural environment.
"Since the outcome is good, what is the point of my arrival?"
She asked herself the question, but the system didn't answer. Undoubtedly, the system didn't care about these things; in each world, aside from completing the Main Quest, she had to find most of the meaning for herself.
However, if we were to interfere with this world, given how the plot unfolds, it could easily lead to changes in the future.
Perhaps it would be better to give humanity some power.
"I will try to get Shokuhou Misaki control some individuals of other races and make them work for humans."
Having made her decision, she had Yukino lie flat on the ground and take a Black Ash bath, allowing only Kurotama to approach the target.
After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh no, I forgot about Sugou Nobuyuki!"
I was originally going to deal with that guy, but I was so happy after saving Asuna that I forgot.
There's no need to pay attention to him anymore.
The system suddenly said.
"Why?"
[In such pain, she would have committed suicide long ago.]
"..."
After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Alright."
Shokuhou Misaki's method of directly stimulating pain to punish Sugou Nobuyuki was quite effective. Even though she hadn't used excessive force, the other man was still in so much pain that he attempted suicide.
Unfortunately, it didn't cause the other person more pain.
Kurotama tossed her hair, a hint of regret in her eyes. But that didn't affect her current mindset.
At the same moment, one kilometer away.
Is this the place?
The two of them stopped, panting, in the middle of a huge cave, and cautiously leaned against the wall.
They were completely covered up, even their eyes were covered by goggles, just to protect themselves from the Black Ash flying around outside.
"Ivan, watch out outside, there might be danger around here."
"Clear."
The man Riku called Ivan was slightly nervous. The unusual tremors in the ground indicated that a dangerous creature was likely nearby. For weak humans, encountering any creature could have a very cruel outcome.
"The Spirit Needle Compass has become ineffective due to the influence of the Black Ash. We can only rely on our five senses to identify targets. Everyone, stay alert." Riku took a deep breath and said to the two people behind him.
Just then, a man ran up excitedly. "Riku, come and see this..."
He only realized halfway through his shout that he was too loud, and quickly covered his mouth.
"Take me with you," Riku whispered.
The group continued forward and arrived at a certain spot inside the cave, where they saw an optical map suspended in mid-air.
Chapter 339 About Bubbles
"This is a world map of the Goblin Race, and it's the latest version. There's also a strategic distribution map of various factions and races."
"Good stuff!" Ivan exclaimed with delight.
Everyone knows that time is life, so Riku immediately ordered his men to start copying and analyzing this information.
Soon, the terrifying data was deciphered.
"Bone Explosion!" Riku was startled when he saw the screen. "Damn it, just how far are these guys going to destroy this planet?"
The Goblin Race have developed such a horrific weapon, with a destructive power comparable to a hydrogen bomb. They intend to use this weapon to bombard the territories of various races, thereby achieving victory in the war.
Just as everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say, a sudden tremor came from a distance.
It seemed as if some terrifying object was approaching, and the ground within a radius of several kilometers was trembling.
"Hurry up."
Without hesitation, Riku immediately began packing his things, preparing to escape.
One of them couldn't resist trying to take the Goblin Race's Projection device, but was stopped.
"Yare, don't take away anything that uses Spirit Power."
"But..."
"Just say you want to die."
He was interrupted without hesitation, Riku quickly stood up.
The group began to run into the distance. The ground trembled more and more violently, and they had no choice but to hide in a dark corner, not daring to make a sound.
Boom
Finally, the massive building collapsed, and something incredibly thick, like an earthworm, easily broke through, rampaging and destroying everything in its path.
Such a terrifying creature could not be defeated by even a few people, let alone thousands or tens of thousands.
"Ivan, die here. This is an order." Riku, suppressing his grief, gave this order.
Without any hesitation, Ivan immediately said, "I swear to my will," and stood up fearlessly, heading towards the direction from which the demons had come.
"I entrust my child to you." A smile appeared on Ivan's face. "I'm sorry, Riku."
After saying that, he roared and charged at the enemy with all his might.
"Come, Demon Race!"
Provoked, the giant earthworm launched an attack on him. Riku and Yare immediately fled into the distance.
No one expected that at that moment, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared and lifted Ivan's body up.
"I'll come to your rescue."
The beautiful girl's voice stunned him.
The next moment, the enormous Demon Race let out a painful scream as it convulsed. Countless strange creatures coiled around it like vines, and even more terrifyingly, a creature no smaller than the Demon Race... no, even larger, appeared.
This is the monster summoned by Caster after killing him in the Fate world.
That super creature, which required Artoria to unleash her full power with her Anti-Army Noble Phantasm to kill, only managed to gain a slight advantage against the Demon Race, suppressing it by using all her weapons and immense magical power.
Of course, no one saw Gildre being summoned by the March of the Dead and activating his Noble Phantasm.
Ivan was dragged away by Kurotama and caught up with Riku and the others in just a few dozen seconds.
The two people recognized the scene from the sound. They turned around and saw that Kurotama landed gently, dropping Ivan to the ground.
"Who are you?"
Riku knew the names of all the humans he had ever met, but he had never seen the girl before him.
Moreover, the opponent's strength is beyond that of a human being.
"I'm human, just like you." Kurotama walked up to him, intending to pat him on the shoulder, but then realized he was too tall and had to give up.
"Humans? Are humans really that powerful?"
The wariness hadn't disappeared, but since Kurotama had saved Ivan, Riku was still very moved.
"Maybe I'm a little special."
The Demon Race gradually lost ground. Its enormous size was no match for the even more terrifying monsters from another world, and it began to prepare to flee.
But how could Kurotama let it go so easily?
"Wait a moment, let me deal with that monster first."
A massive explosion is about to occur. This Demon Race seems to be preparing to unleash its full power. Once it completes its attack, even if Riku are several kilometers away, they could still be instantly killed.
Even Yatsufusa, the Kurotama One, couldn't inflict a fatal wound on him, so he could only rely on his other clones.
Abigail.
A 12-year-old, 1.52-meter-tall blonde, blue-eyed girl appeared, exuding an aura of chaos and evil.
She gazed at the Demon Race in the distance, and without saying a word, immediately activated her Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm, [Light Shell Overflowing False Tree].
The keyhole opened, and a power that seemed to drive all living things mad rippled outwards.
She began to recite the prayer incantation:
"I hold the Silver Key in my hand, manifesting from nothingness, so that it may touch your fingertips. My Father God, transcend the dream of roses, and reach the ultimate gate!"
