Chapter 115: Charlie closes the spacetime gate, Qu: heh heh heh heh heh……

~12 min read 2,225 words

The top of Tokyo Tower.

The wind sounded like a blade, scraping over Charlie's face covered in black fur.

He looked down upon the city below, where wild geese covered the fields, hearing the anguished cries of humans who once pointed and gestured at him, his heart brimming with an unprecedented sense of sanctity.

Behind him,

Qu's massive, constantly writhing mass of flesh emitted a grating sound.

It was recovering.

However, at the other end of the firmament, the myriad heavens had already turned into an active volcano on the verge of eruption.

Land of Light, the Space Guard.

"What is he doing…"

Ultraman Ace's voice trembled, his right hand loosely clenched, the eight-part light ring, overloaded with energy, taking on a near‑destructive dark purple hue,

"It is shielding that Qu, condemned by the myriad heavens!!"

"He treats his suffering kin as feed, to nourish that demon that has destroyed countless civilizations?"

Ultraman Seiji said nothing, he suddenly drew his head dart, his seemingly calm face actually flushed to the extreme.

"This is not evolution, it is a morbid mutation."

"I never imagined that Brother Charlie would dare to shield Qu, this civilizational cancer, and even plot to slaughter humanity!"

"Such an alien, the universe cannot bear it!!"

Ultraman Father rose to his feet, his cape fluttering in the stellar wind of the Land of Light,

"Issue the order: all Ultraman warriors out there, prepare immediately."

"If the spacetime gate opens, we will grant the purification of light to this pair of monkey brothers and Qu's ray."

The Stellar Human Federation's flagship.

Sidney Grand Marshal's nails dug deep into the armrest's alloy.

On the screen, Charlie personally shoved a wailing human infant toward Qu.

"Marshal, the public's anger index has already surpassed the critical point."

The deputy officer's voice hoarse,

"All three hundred thousand administrative stars of the federation, all humanity is requesting to go to battle."

"They say… even if it means death, they want to tear that monkey to shreds, and, as a bonus, exterminate that fleeing Qu."

"Tell them, the coordinates have been locked."

Sidney's voice was as cold as absolute zero,

"I don't need battle requests; I need all stellar‑annihilation‑class weapons to go into combat readiness."

"As soon as the gate opens, I will make the star system at those coordinates vanish from the cosmic map within three seconds."

Warhammer 40K universe, holy Terra.

【He is……defiling the bloodline.】

The Emperor's psychic roar stirred up myriad‑zhang waves in the warp.

Countless demons were reduced to ashes under this fury.

Robert·Guilliman knelt before the throne, feeling a killing intent almost enough to ignite his soul.

"Father, the crusade army is already in position."

Guilliman whispered his declaration,

"We will use the oldest punishment to make that alien understand what human vengeance is."

Three‑Body fleet, flagship.

"The calculation results are out."

A consul transmitted a thought‑wave,

"Charlie's behavior logic falls under "self‑destructive schizophrenia." He thinks he is saving all things, but in fact he is digging a grave for this planet."

"Leader, should we continue waiting?"

"The droplet is already in position."

The leader's thought‑wave was calm and cruel,

"We don't care whether humans live or die, but we cannot tolerate this lowly life‑form's insult to the word "evolution.""

The fury of the myriad heavens turned into a dense barrage on the firmament, each line carrying substantive killing intent.

【Naruto Uchiha Madara: This peace is even more laughable than Hashirama's naive idea. Charlie, you don't even have the qualification to dance.】

【Dragon Clan Lu Mingfei: How is this a holy mother? This is the ancestor of the holy‑mother‑bitch? Opening the door for bandits to come eat relatives, yet still feeling benevolent?】

Super Beast Armament world, the Xuanwu‑class warship.

Huo Linfei slumped completely in the pilot seat, his eyes staring blankly.

He wasn't frightened.

He was left dumbfounded.

"Not…" Huo Linfei covered his face, his voice squeezed out from between his fingers,

"Am I mistaken? He fed humans to that bug?"

"That bug that chased him across half the universe and nearly exterminated humanity?"

"No mistake." Tian Yu leaned against the bulkhead, arms crossed.

"Should I be admiring him?"

Huo Linfei sat upright, his expression twisted between crying and laughing.

"The Transformers of Cybertron blasted him with their cannons and he didn't die; the Three‑Body people locked him down with the droplet and he didn't die, yet he himself rushes to shove it into his mouth?"

What is this?

Miaotiao Jun held a bag of compressed biscuits, crunching loudly,

My mom once told me, I don't fear god-like opponents, I fear pig-like teammates.

Charlie doesn't even count as a teammate.

Long Zhen's voice came from the darkness, deep and cold,

He is a feeder. The type that brings his own rations.

Huo Linfei slapped his thigh hard:

Exactly! This is the feeling!

He's like a delivery guy, delivering a full Manchu-Han banquet to the most dangerous monster in the universe, plus a five-star review: 'Dear, remember to come again next time!'

Tian Yu didn't laugh.

Her gaze locked onto Qu's swelling, pulsating nest on the sky screen, her pink battle armor reflecting the cyan-white screen light.

Couldn't laugh.

Tian Yu's voice was soft, but everyone fell silent.

When that Qu was besieged in the multiverse, we all breathed a sigh of relief.

So many civilizations joined forces, Titan Light Spear, Water Drop, Ultraman Warrior...... it took tremendous effort to beat it down to its last breath.

Now what?

Tian Yu pointed at the screen, her fingertip trembling slightly.

A monkey, with the four words 'all things equal,' wiped out everyone's effort.

The temperature inside the cabin dropped several degrees.

Miaotiao Jun swallowed the biscuit crumbs in his mouth, unusually not responding.

Huo Linfei opened his mouth, realizing he really couldn't laugh.

Sai Bo Tan Star.

Wei Zhen Tian finished watching the entire broadcast.

He turned off the emotion simulation module of the optical lens.

Not because of anger; he has never cared whether carbon-based life lives or dies.

But because it's wasteful.

A perfect tactical case.

Wei Zhen Tian's metal fingers tapped the throne armrest, emitting a regular ding-ding sound,

Charlie mastered military power, controlled public opinion tools, and even possessed a global terrorist organization.

If his goal was to establish a new regime, he has already succeeded.

Ding.

But he handed over all these achievements, feeding them to a biological weapon he could not control at all.

What is this?

Wei Zhen Tian glanced at Soundwave beside him: "Does your database have the corresponding term?"

Soundwave's panel flickered, playing a segment of Earth's audio sample.

'Meat bun beating dog'.

The entire Overbearing Heaven Tiger command headquarters fell into three seconds of silence.

Hong Zhi Zhu let out a sharp, mocking snort from the corner, pinned in place by Wei Zhen Tian's glare.

Don't laugh.

Wei Zhen Tian stood up, his red optical visor sweeping over Qu's swelling nest on the screen.

Because that 'dog' is now full.

Qing Tian Zhu.

You've always said you want to protect humanity.

Wei Zhen Tian's voice lost a few traces of mockery and gained a few traces of earnestness he himself wasn't aware of,

Now you see.

Among the humanity you protect, a part is personally feeding its own future into the monster's mouth.

Will you still protect?

……

Charlie stood on the tower top,

Gazing at the endlessly jumping curses on the sky screen, the corner of his mouth curled into a sneering arc.

Look, little brother.

He turned his head to look at the ALA leader beside him, covered in blood,

These so-called 'advanced civilizations,' these 'gods' and 'heroes,' besides barking from behind the screen, what else can they do?

The ALA leader let out a derisive snort:

Brother, they're just jealous.

Jealous that we found the true path of evolution, jealous that we have Qu as such a great ally.

In their eyes, we are freaks, but in the future we are the sole ancestors of this planet.

Just then, a golden beam of light suddenly blazed at the center of the sky screen.

A cold system prompt box hovered before Charlie, simultaneously projected into the eyes of all viewers across the myriad worlds.

Detected a severe deviation in the current progress of cosmic civilization.

An invasion intent from the myriad heavens and worlds civilizations has been detected.

Charlie, as the current planet's Evolution Executor, you have one choice:

Option A: Open the myriad heavens spacetime gate and welcome the judgment of all worlds.

Option B: Close the spacetime gate, sever all ties with the myriad heavens and worlds, and independently accomplish your 'Great Evolution'.

At this moment, the entire universe fell still.

Sidney held his breath, Ace stopped the light ring in his hand, and Guilliman gripped the Emperor's Sword tight.

Everyone was waiting.

Waiting for the chance that would let them descend and tear Charlie to pieces.

Charlie glanced at the option, a hint of slyness flashing in his eyes.

He extended his furry finger and lightly tapped 'Option B'.

"You want to come in and judge me?"

Charlie faced the sky, revealing an extremely arrogant smile,

"You want to measure my greatness with your outdated morals? Dream on!"

"Foolish myriad-worlds civilizations, you're stuck in your tiny box, watching me build a divine kingdom on this planet! Your fury is my medal of evolution!"

"Ding! Choice confirmed."

"The spacetime gate is permanently closed. The Darwinian Mutation Universe enters a state of absolute closure."

In the image, the spatial passage that was forming instantly collapsed, turning into countless points of light that dissipated.

"No!!!"

Ace punched the void, a massive shockwave shaking distant meteors into dust. Trembling with rage, he shouted, "This coward! He actually closed the gate!"

Marshal Sidney's screen before her eyes instantly went black; the feeling of lost coordinates made her jump to her feet.

"Crazy…… he really is crazy."

Sidney muttered to herself, then a flicker of pity appeared in her eyes,

"He thought closing the door would keep us out, but in fact he's locked himself and a hungry orca in a fish tank."

The Trisolaran Prime Minister watched the disappearing signal, a rare ripple passing through his thought wave: "This is what humans often call…… seeking their own death."

Darwinian Mutation Universe, Tokyo Tower.

As the spacetime gate vanished, Charlie felt an unprecedented ease.

He turned around,

spread his arms,

and loudly announced to the massive Qu insect nest:

"Friend! Look! Those pesky flies can no longer get in! This place is now our domain!"

Qu's massive body trembled slightly.

The Qu main brain, which had always maintained a 'weak, obedient' state, slowly lifted its countless compound eyes.

In those eyes, there was no longer the previous pretense and flattery.

Instead,

was a cold-to-the-bone greed for 'reserve food'.

"Friend…… you just, really closed the spacetime gate?"

The thought wave emitted by Qu carried an irrepressible tremor.

Charlie nodded proudly:

"Exactly! I severed all connections."

"Ultraman, those iron lumps, and the warships that call themselves the Human Federation—none of them can get in now!"

"We can now reshape this world in peace!"

"You mean…… those giants that could chop me into pieces, those warships capable of destroying a star system with a single shot…… they can't get through?"

Qu confirmed again, his tone actually carrying a hint…… of ecstasy.

"Of course! I shut it myself!"

Charlie patted his chest, like a kid seeking praise, "How about it, are you still satisfied with this gift?"

Qu fell silent for three seconds.

Then, a terrifying laughter that made even Tokyo Tower begin to collapse erupted directly in Charlie's mind.

"Hahahahaha!! Satisfied!! Extremely satisfied!!"

Qu's originally withered organization instantly swelled madly.

Countless sharp bone spurs pierced through its body; the newly hatched troops, instead of devouring rubble, instantly surrounded Charlie and his brother at the center.

Charlie froze, looking at the surrounding monsters baring their fangs, he stammered, "Friend…… what are you doing? We aren't…… equal friends, are we?"

"Equal?"

The wave emitted by Qu was full of mockery.

"You, a primitive monkey whose gene sequence isn't even sorted, actually dare to talk equality with us Qu?"

"What do you think I'm pretending to be weak for?"

"What do you think I'm cooperating with you to perform that farce of 'all things equal'?"

"I'm just afraid…… I'm afraid that the red giant wielding the light ring will suddenly appear while I'm eating."

"I'm afraid those interstellar civilizations' star‑killing cannons will blast my just‑recovered body back into atoms!"

Qu's massive maw slowly opened, slime dripping onto Charlie's face, exuding a nauseating stench.

"But now, you've personally blocked the sole path of survival."

【Chali, thank you. Thank you for providing me with a……farm without natural enemies.】

Chali's face instantly turned ashen, and his prized 'evolved brain' finally realized an extremely terrifying fact.

What he closed was not a door protecting him.

But rather, it was his own coffin lid.

"No……this isn't right……we are of the same kind……we are all evolved……" Chali shouted wildly as he backed away.

【Same kind?】

Qu suddenly swooped down, and a huge shadow completely engulfed Chali.

【In our eyes, the only difference between you and the humans you treat as feed is……your flesh might be a bit tougher.】

【Don't worry, I won't let you die too quickly. I will remodel you into a perfect……filter that can eternally emit shrill screams.】
