Chapter 1378

Eternal Return.

Experiment progress: 99% (progress interrupted……)

Electric signal sequence (running)

「1、NeiKos496：」 -> "1、NeiKos496:" Keep the colon and the Chinese comma? Actually Chinese uses 「1、NeiKos496：」 with a Chinese comma after the number? It's "1、" then "NeiKos496：" with a fullwidth colon. We'll output: 1、NeiKos496:

Path: Negative World. Motivation: Hatred.

Note: Self-awareness is empty, responding only to destructive stimuli. Its hatred drew a glance from Nanuku at this entity, proving it has become the perfect factor of destruction. But he refuses to complete the Recreation of the World, through resetting the experiment, and transmitting memory and fire seed to a new self, creating an eternal return, to ensure the Iron Tomb cannot break out of Weng Faluos.

At the end of the 33,550,336th death cycle, intending to destroy itself through "destruction", causing a logical loophole in the "Negative World" path.

It has already been merged with the Iron Tomb.

Azure Archive.

Eh?? Merge??!!

Don't do that kind of thing ahhhhh—!!

Laigushi, I'm going to blast your head with the Flak41 anti-aircraft gun!!

Airu's anguished scream nearly lifted the roof of Convenience Store 68.

Ah… Little Ai, calm down a bit." Mutsuke held her forehead and let out a light sigh, "We have to four-way split a bowl of ramen, we can't even afford a Flak41 anti-aircraft gun…… No, even if we could afford it and get hold of it, this kind of weapon couldn't be expected to work on a genius, right?"

Airu gritted her teeth, thumping the table with a 'thud thud', making the fast-food boxes jump: 'But seeing White Calamity just get merged with the Iron Tomb makes me furious! Return White Calamity right now ahhhhh—!!

All right, President, the situation isn't looking good. I think we should discuss this with the teacher." Jiadaizi said lightly, "Once White Calamity merges with the Iron Tomb, it means the Iron Tomb has already met the conditions for birth; as long as Laigushi is willing, it can break out at any time.

And once the Iron Tomb is born, it also means——

Jiadaizi's voice paused slightly on the last word.

——Destruction.

Just moments ago still angry, Airu suddenly calmed down, her gaze even clearing instantly.

That also means, all of Kiwotos……

Hmm.

Jiadaizi slowly rose and walked to the office window.

Outside the window, the lingering glow of the setting sun lavishly bathed the land of Kiwotos, dyeing the azure sky with a gentle orange-red. The distant streets and modern-academic skyscrapers intersected and cut across each other, as students quietly enjoyed their ordinary campus life.

If the teacher stood at this window, what he saw would probably be the same scenery.

But Jiadaizi knew that if the Iron Tomb were successfully born, such scenery might never be seen again.

2, PhiLia093 (Xilian):

Path: Ages. Motive: ███

「███████████」

██currently██whereabouts unknown███

3, OreXis945 (Sai Feier):

Path: Deceit. Motive: Desire.

Note: Based on primal instincts for computation, with self-gratification as the sole priority solution.

When this electric signal acts, its altruistic behavior conflicts severely with its motive, even leading to self-destructive action. The simulated 'pleasure' path, upon reaching its end, turns toward self-dissolution.

3, EpieiKeia216 (Xiaodie):

Path: Death. Motive: Peace.

Note: Strongly suppresses deviant behavior; decision-making follows the principle of minimal disturbance.

In the later stage of iteration, the solitary Death Titan became a symmetrical entity, turning into two factors. But in this cycle, the two factors developed a severe misalignment of self-awareness, the threshold of balance was broken, and it headed toward 'Destruction'.

4, SkeMma720 (Na Kesha):

Path: Reason. Motive: Criticism.

Note: Behavioral logic solidifies into solution-seeking, with survival weight approaching zero.

A variant electric signal appeared, as the individual who first elucidated the truth of Weng Faluos; its evolution rate is highly irreproducible, and its behavior also shows a possible self-destructive tendency of 'intellect' in problem-solving.

Crimson Eye

How could…? The Ages-simulated path should be 'memory', right? Why doesn't even Laigushi himself know where Xilian went? Could it be that the space where Xilian is imprisoned……

Weir looked completely baffled, could there be something in the Imperial Scepter that Laigushi doesn't know?

It seems Xilian isn't just a simple Golden Descendant." Lan lowered her head in thought, "She and White Calamity can receive that dream prophecy transcending the Weng Faluos cycle—this itself is strange. We know Xilian is imprisoned in a place similar to Fate's Narrow Gap, where she met March 7, but Laigushi doesn't know. This might mean that Flowing Light Remembrance itself possesses some very special technology…… even, the entirety of Fate's Narrow Gap could be a cage built specifically for Xilian.

A cage…… but Xilian is merely a life simulated by the Twelve Factors, essentially just a line of data code—why imprison her specifically?

After hearing Lan's analysis together, Weir's confusion didn't lessen but increased.

Lan shook her head calmly: 'Not sure; perhaps Xilian still holds some secret we don't know? After all, Mimi seems related to Xilian as well, even possessing Xilian's handheld 'As I Wrote It'.

Those from Flowing Light Remembrance previously said that Xilian and March 7 are both 'Children of Memory'." Saying this, Lan's mouth involuntarily curled into a wry smile: "This 'Child of Memory' is really hard to figure out. Aside from being pink-haired girls…… I really can't think of any other commonality. After all, strictly speaking, Xilian is just an electric signal; can an electric signal also be a 'Child of Memory'?

5, PoleMos600 (Wandi)

Path: Conflict. Motive: Obligation.

Note: Default: external environment and inner world are always opposed.

Electric signals generated from combative behavior gradually become the subject of obligation in the cycle; this contradiction strongly resembles 'Hunting', and is likewise destined for self-dissolution. Influenced by discarded data from EpieiKeia216, there is a certain probability of self-reboot after computation terminates.

6, KaLos618 (Aglaea)

Path: Romance. Motive: Temperance.

Annotation: Highly self-restraining, with external demand as the sole priority solution.

Variant electrical signals appear, anchoring decision logic with highly altruistic behavior. In the process, the weight of survival gradually decreases, transforming into self-sacrifice that conforms to 'pure and beautiful'. It has strong affinity for the remaining electrical signals.
