Last Toast to Death

The crimson figure of Gheros in the sky grew brighter and brighter. He projected his image from outside the world onto this world, making it extremely unscientific that the Waterblue Star could see his appearance both day and night.

Although its projection onto the Waterblue Star was completely distorted due to the barrier of the world, making it impossible for people to see its true form, it still brought great panic, as it was provoking what humanity calls reason.

Those who look directly Destruction the Death Omen Star have a significantly increased chance of going insane. Coupled with the apocalyptic atmosphere and the spread of memes, now on Waterblue Star, three out of every ten people are insane, five are close to insane, and even the two who are normal exhibit symptoms such as mania, depression, and autism.

Under these circumstances, even if the so-called C Plan succeeds and Gheros is defeated, it will take the human society of Waterblue Star a hundred or even several hundred years to recover its mental state.

Primarily based on nine major memes, a large number of memes spread in human society. Fortunately, the arrival of the apocalypse limited the large-scale dissemination of information; otherwise, given the convenience of information exchange in modern society, these memes would probably have been uncontrollable long ago.

Even so, the destructive power of memes on society is terrifying. For example, carriers of "Woman's Fragrance" can cause people to become obsessed with the scent of their own wherever they go, leading to a frenzy of bodily fluid exchange until they are deeply infected by the meme and their bodily fluids are transformed into "Woman's Fragrance".

Often, if a meme carrier is not eliminated in time, they can quickly infect a large number of people. As a social organism, humans are extremely vulnerable to being controlled by memes.

Of course, not all memes are harmful. For example, square dancing... well, let's skip that example. In reality, most memes are not particularly aggressive, and their spread is not applicable to all humans. The reason why the nine major memes that have emerged now are so dangerous is because these memes have been modified and filtered by gamers, which has enhanced their aggressiveness.

The more one knows, the more fearful one becomes. Some people stay at home, oblivious to what's happening around them, while others take to the streets, indulging in debauchery and squandering their desires, bringing social order to the brink of collapse.

Although not in the real world, through the connection with the fulcrum, Cheng Kui gradually learned about the chaos in the outside world. He was eager to complete C Plan, but in reality, he was now unable to make any progress.

In Su Yuxuan's past, Su Yuxuan acknowledged her love, which was not recognized by most people. As if it were a preordained plot, Su Yuxuan chose to redeem her past with her life. In the subsequent flood relief efforts, she did not retreat a single step and rescued even more people.

Afterwards, they went through Jiang Yeyu's past. This pineapple-headed man, who had always appeared very mysterious, seemed very calm. He told Cheng Kui that everything was already destined, that the Countermeasure Bureau had the means to manipulate fate, and that they had planned this C Plan to bring it infinitely closer to success.

When they persuaded Jiang Yeyu to join, they implied that they would encounter their own past experiences, or rather, it was precisely because they would encounter these past experiences that they were asked to join the suicide squad. The cause-and-effect relationship here is extremely confusing.

After Jiang Yeyu shared some information with Cheng Kui, he embarked on his path to redemption. He embraced the girl he deeply loved, and under her blissful gaze, he put the black crystal necklace on her finger. Then, hand in hand, they boarded the plane.

He had missed this date before for various reasons, leaving the girl to travel alone by plane, which ultimately cost him her. This time, he finally had the chance to make up for that missed date.

In Cheng Kui's perception, he was only one step away from his destination. He only needed to break through this step to reach it. After watching Jiang Yeyu's plane turn into a fireball, he arrived at this final step.

But this was a completely unfamiliar place to him, not his past, and he had no past worth making up for. He was just an ordinary person, his past was uneventful, and even if there were regrets, they were just trivial matters.

"So, this is Mary's past..." Cheng Kui walked alone in this unfamiliar city, feeling somewhat lost and regretful. Based on what he had seen before, each person corresponded to a past, which would just be enough to take him to his destination.

However, due to his own selfishness, he left Mary outside, resulting in the absence of a corresponding lock-picker in the past, making it impossible to open the staircase. In Cheng Kui's perception, the door to the past became increasingly tight, symbolizing that the fate here was still heading back to its original trajectory.

"Damn it!!" Cheng Kui kept searching for Mary in this world, but he couldn't find any trace of her. If it were the old him, he might have given up long ago. After all, in the past, he was just an ordinary person.

But if I give up now, thinking about the teammates who sacrificed themselves one by one, although they did it more to save themselves, it is undeniable that their sacrifices brought me to where I am today.

If he gave up, wouldn't he be wasting all those people's sacrifices? For this reason, he kept searching, feeling that the past was becoming more and more solid, and the door was becoming narrower and narrower. Cheng Kui finally made up his mind.

He opened the briefcase he was carrying and saw the flowing black liquid inside. He opened it, and the black liquid pulsated and adhered to Cheng Kui's body, eventually forming a jet-black exoskeleton armor.

This is the latest technology from the Countermeasure Bureau: the Barrier Armor. It is entirely made of black crystals at the nanoscale of the Barrier Force, possessing a super strong anti-superpower field, and can also simulate many technological weapons and equipment.

Cheng Kui chose this exoskeleton armor because it looked good at the time. He was determined that if he couldn't find Mary here and learn the key to completing the past from Mary, he would forcibly overturn the fate of this world.

However, at this moment, the surrounding space inexplicably changed. Xu Mingfei, Yemo, and various other players finally broke through the space and arrived at this staircase. As the space changed, this world became more hostile to them. After all, the closer they got to the source of the barrier, the more their extraordinary abilities were suppressed.

In the past, they could occupy the roles of characters in the story, but in this past, they can no longer even maintain their human form, and slowly reveal their true nature.

Their humanoid bodies display various features: black ash, glass-like flowers, purple smoke—a diverse array of characteristics that symbolize what kind of Aggregation of rules they are.

The players stared Greed at Cheng Kui; obtaining him meant gaining that slim chance of breaking through to the peak— Cheng Kui was their path to Becoming a God!
