Chapter 215
Releasing Tarolan did nothing to change anything.
Now, 3999's target for torment has become Xiao Huasheng, who rescued him.
Angela immediately deployed all of the company's internal energy reserves to help Entity-343 defend against the attack from God 3999.
But this energy was just a drop in the ocean and was quickly depleted.
The company has been completely drained, leaving only a tube of energy.
Xiao Huasheng said something, realizing that the situation had become irreversible.
"Angela, everything from now on is in your hands..."
In the blink of an eye, Entity-343, Doctor, Tarolan were all once again recruited into Xiao Huasheng's Lobotomy Corporation.
In order to protect the company, Xiao Huasheng chose to send the entire Lobotomy Corporation into a rift in the mental space, while hiding the company within Angela's soul.
Simply put, when Xiao Huasheng handed the company over to Angela, he also moved the entire company, along with God, out of this world.
In order to preserve his body, Xiao Huasheng stayed behind alone.
Now, everyone is gone.
Only Xiao Huasheng and 3999 remained on the front line.
Now, she has to bear the wrath of 3999 all by herself.
Just as she closed her eyes in despair, about to be imprisoned by it for countless years.
Just as the void torrent of 3999, which contained all malice and power, was about to completely engulf the isolated and helpless Xiao Huasheng, another change occurred!
The extreme collapse of the real dimension caused the Dimensional Rift to expand, engulfing Xiao Huasheng's body before its attack could even begin.
She is about to be sent away.
"No! Stay!"
For the first time, 3999 emitted words that had human-like meaning; it attempted to extend its power to grasp Xiao Huasheng and prevent her escape.
But the crack closed faster than anyone imagined; before its force could reach it, the crack's edges suddenly contracted.
The next second, the crack disappeared completely.
Along with it, all traces of Xiao Huasheng's existence and all his presence vanished.
39999 lost Tarolan, and now even the target of their anger has been lost.
Its rage had nowhere to go, and its destructive Reality Warping force field spread across the entire planet and the entire universe with unprecedented intensity.
Earth is like a toy thrown into a mixer, with continental plates being torn apart at will, oceans being evaporated and reformed, and physical constants appearing and disappearing intermittently.
All the Reality Stabilization Anchor established by the Foundation shattered one after another, like candles flickering in the wind.
[Urgent Notice! The global real-world collapse is irreversible! Entity - Startup failed! Entity - Startup failed! All K-level scenario response plans... are ineffective!]
[WARNING! Entity-3999 has been detected as the only stable entity currently existing in reality! Repeat, Entity-3999 has been detected as the only stable entity currently existing in reality!]
After a brief silence, the O5 Council issued its final broadcast.
[...Everyone... Let's meet in the new world. Thank you for your work. The end of the world has come...]
The Foundation's world reset has failed.
Whether allies or enemies of the Foundation, they are now facing true doomsday.
Hand in hand, they faced their shared fate of annihilation.
Those entities specifically designed for world reset, those immense forces capable of rewinding the entire universe to a specific singularity, were rendered utterly ineffective when they touched the Distortion force field of 3999 that enveloped the entire globe, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, failing to even stir a ripple.
The existence of 3999 is itself an unformatable virus, anchored to this dying reality, refusing any form of restart.
Once, twice, three times... all attempts ended in failure.
Ultimately, the collapse of Earth and even the entire universe came to an irreversible end.
The stars have vanished, all things have returned to nothingness, and the laws of physics have completely ceased to exist.
In a desolate wasteland beyond description, only that one symbol of pure malice remained.
3999 transformed into an eternally cancerous cell, endlessly radiating its rage and Distortion in a world devoid of anything.
No one can manage it, no one can control it.
In a sense, 3999 has imprisoned itself.
It became the last and only inhabitant of this world.
All things die.
Volume 1: Land of the Lustrous: Cement is a Gem Too!
Chapter 1: Red Spinel? [4 Updates]
At Angela's place.
With Xiao Huasheng's help, she has already jumped to the dimension of the Library of Ruina.
Everyone inside the company also jumped to this safe dimension.
At this time, since the company was handed over to her, she became the person who was active outside, while Xiao Huasheng disappeared without a trace.
Inside the Library of Ruina, after realizing what had happened...
The blue-haired beauty knelt weakly on the ground, her eyes blurry with tears.
"The supervisor did this to protect us... No, now is not the time to cry."
After a brief moment of grief, Angela immediately stood up, her face displaying only unparalleled resolve.
She was determined to rescue Xiao Huasheng, no matter the cost.
Angela is currently there, along with Entity-343, Clef, Tarolan, and many other company employees, greatly enhancing the company's internal strength.
Due to prolonged contact with the Supreme Divinity, even an ordinary person like Tarolan possessed an extremely strong Reality-Warping Ability.
Including Angela herself, a total of four high-level Reality-Warping Ability users came to this world.
Prepare to launch a counterattack to return to the Foundation World at any time.
On the other side.
Xiao Huasheng still felt that familiar feeling of weightlessness, and then she landed with a thud in a patch of grass.
"Huh?" The red-haired Angel, who hadn't even realized she had actually escaped, felt a moment of bewilderment.
At this moment, she was at the foot of a mountain wall, gazing up at the sun in the sky, her eyes shining brightly.
However, having lost her entire company, she was left to face the world alone.
"Angela ..." she murmured softly, but her optimistic nature quickly cheered her up. "It's okay... at least Angela is alright. As long as I'm okay here, Angela will definitely find me."
At this moment, Xiao Huasheng was completely emptied, leaving only 1,000 units of energy within his body.
Just like the start of a game.
The difference is that she doesn't have Angela's help in this world.
Angela is in another world, with a powerful company preparing to launch another attack on 3999.
Driven by curiosity, Xiao Huasheng's consciousness still sank into the mental space.
She unexpectedly discovered that the Lobotomy Corporation still existed within her soul.
This was truly an unexpected turn of events, but the monitoring room was deserted, and Angela was nowhere to be seen.
Apart from the energy bar hanging on it, the monitoring room was completely empty.
It seems that, regardless of whether Xiao Huasheng chooses to give it away, the Lobotomy Corporation is an integral part of her essence; without it, she shouldn't exist.
Xiao Huasheng wandered around and found that all the Abnormality and employees had disappeared.
But the company still exists.
At the same time, Xiao Huasheng also had a premonition that if she encountered the Lobotomy Corporation that delivered Angela, the two companies would merge into one, and she would become the manager again.
There is no other possibility.
"However, I've never tested this before; I've never handed the company over to anyone. But since it's Angela, I'll definitely run the company well."
Xiao Huasheng smiled. It was wonderful to be able to escape from such a torturous situation.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that 3999 could cause her excruciating pain was enough to make her want to quit.
"Call..."
As if relieved, Xiao Huasheng immediately lay down on the grass and didn't move.
Her basic daily energy consumption is 10 units per day, which means she has a full 100 days to find new energy sources and maintain her existence.
Thinking about it, she plucked some grass from the surrounding area and popped it into her mouth.
To her surprise, the grass did not transform into energy; instead, it remained inside the company, exhibiting the characteristics of an object.
"This thing isn't edible? Angela, can you figure out what it is?"
Subconsciously, Xiao Huasheng asked Angela a question.
Obviously, she received no response.
So she had no choice but to spit out the grass in her mouth twice, and then take out the grass from inside the company as well.
A rare moment of leisure--
Xiao Huasheng was basking in the sun with his hands behind his back and his legs crossed.
The warm sunshine shone on her, and a gentle breeze carrying the scent of grass and earth caressed her cheeks. Gazing at the clouds drifting slowly across the azure sky, she found herself, for once, freeing her mind from all distractions.
This tranquility was truly incongruous with the malice that had just occurred.
Luckily, she ran fast; if 3999 had caught her, she would have been chopped into mincemeat.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
A series of footsteps approached from afar, breaking the tranquility at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Huasheng sat up alertly and looked in the direction of the sound.
A tall, serene, bald man, resembling a monk, was slowly walking along the coastline.
He was dressed in simple black and yellow clothes, his face gentle and compassionate.
He was conducting his routine patrol of the coastline, his gaze sweeping over the grassy area where the beach met the rocky cliffs.
Then, he stopped.
His gaze fell on Xiao Huasheng in turn looked at her curiously.
Xiao Huasheng's current state was indeed extraordinary. Her long red hair, which resembled burning flames, shone brightly in the sunlight, creating a unique aura with her slightly tattered clothes that seemed to belong to another world.
More importantly, her cement shell, composed of 173 essences, presented a non-living, hard texture in Kongo's perception that was extremely similar to that of a gemstone.
It's an inorganic substance, composed of minerals, so it's definitely a gemstone.
Kongo stared at her silently for a moment, then strode forward unhurriedly towards Xiao Huasheng.
Xiao Huasheng instinctively became alert, his body tensing slightly, but he didn't sense any hostility from the other person.
Kongo stopped in front of her, bent down slightly, and carefully examined her.
After a moment, he came to a conclusion, muttering to himself in a gentle and steady voice:
"Red hair... a tough body... a unique internal structure... is this a variety I've never seen before? It seems to be very hard, is it Red Spinel? You're truly beautiful."
Red spinel has a hardness of 8, which is indeed very hard.
However, Xiao Huasheng is definitely much harder than anything else.
After confirming this repeatedly, Kongo spoke slowly.
"Don't be afraid." His voice carried a calming power. "Come with me."
During those few seconds of her hesitation, Kongo's hand remained firmly outstretched, awaiting her response.
Finding a new Gem People is the most natural thing to happen on this coast.
