Chapter 540: NO.123: Demon God's Visit

NO. 123: Demon God's Visit

Generally speaking, reality has its own way of dealing with the world, and the internet has its own customary practices.

When registering an account for deep-immersion software, one should pick a username unrelated to reality and shape an avatar far removed from reality—this is an unwritten rule, though not explicitly stated, long recognized by the public.

Considering personal privacy and safety, this necessity is perfectly reasonable.

But in fact, many people still use their real names online.

Even going as far as doxxing online, where both name and avatar match reality.

Evolto is one of them.

He naturally doesn't care.

Although placed under the supervisory treatment of a coffee shop manager acting as a compulsory guardian, giving him a fate somewhat similar to that of a high‑school student surnamed Yugong (or also said to be from Laiqi), yet compared to the one who struggles and gallops in the spiritual world, saving the world, he is actually capable of truly devouring planets in the physical realm.

But just as he is mocked and ridiculed by a junior human who shares blood ties (meaning genetic factors), the water on this planet is a bit deep, truly preventing him from acting smoothly.

Although unable to act smoothly, he does not fear doxxing, openly using 'the image of Kamen Rider Evol' as his character avatar; the player Evolto, who has been registered on GBN for three weeks, is exactly such a newcomer.

Yes, three weeks.

After trying several new monster games at the monster exhibition, he instead came into contact with the prototype of one of them, "Monster Toy Online Fighting"—namely "Gundam Model Online Battle".

Having quit "Monster Toy Online Fighting" due to terrible luck with blind‑box draws, he appreciates "Gundam Model Online Battle" all the more for its "open and transparent" nature.

—mainly because there's no need to draw.

Want something? Just buy the model—it's far better than those forty‑to‑fifty‑pull SSR‑less toxic loot pools.

Especially his nominal "guardian" is an excellent researcher who can put together a satisfactory Gunpla model for him.

So humans are quite interesting, huh.

Clearly he wishes to kill himself, yet he also forces a peaceful coexistence.

Thus, while forcing himself, he will also use words like "Game model? Sure, that'll make you behave a bit more," to convince himself and assist the former enemy who once shouted his name with a cracked voice.

Looking again at this world, individual strength is so weak yet it lets the planet develop to this level, plus there are those special entertainments rare on planets of former routes—this planet's fun factor truly surpasses that of the Earth once seen.

It is precisely because he feels this twelve‑fold fun factor that Evolto so cooperatively signs a law‑abiding contract with that peculiar machine intelligence.

By promising not to break the law, he is also covered by the various rights of federal citizens.

He can even gain something beyond that—direct permission for the Heart of Terra to assist.

Naturally, whether this assistance condition is met still depends on the specific request.

Abiding by the law is a citizen's duty; the contract merely grants Evolto the rights of a citizen, just like the otherworldly persons who arrived in this world together with him: Tongsheng Zhan Tu and Wanzhang Longwo.

On this basis, Evolto merely has the permission to contact the Heart of Terra's segment nodes.

Whether to accede to its request still depends on whether he is willing to give the Heart of Terra an equivalent return.

This is an equal exchange, yet also a special privilege.

You should know that even among those Ultraman warriors in the Land of Light Office, fewer than three can directly contact the Heart of Terra's segment nodes.

Among the transmigrants, only those who represent a unique status of their own world, or possess unique strength, are granted permission for the Heart of Terra to open direct communication; Evolto clearly belongs to the latter.

And one of the two supervisors living with him—Tongsheng Zhan Tu—belongs to the former.

This, in a sense, also counts as a privilege unique to transmigrants.

Among transmigrants, the average proportion of those with special permissions is one percent, whereas for locals the denominator is counted in tens of millions.

As for this, Evolto doesn't really understand it clearly, but he doesn't care.

As for him, the Heart of Terra, which has always been observing humanity and civilization, along with its segment nodes, is also quite easy to chat with; occasionally "harassing" it is no problem.

But this time, he indeed intends to exercise that right which is normally unnecessary to use.

"Chijun, help me check the player list for the boundary district server of this game on GBN?"

He stood before the GBN game lobby, countless eyes on him, but the moment he spoke, the whole space fell silent for a moment.

It wasn't that the other players in the lobby all stopped talking; rather, a temporary connection hiccup caused them to experience a uniform delay.

Then their data would also show a trace‑less foreign object, for the "god" at the data level had descended an avatar.

In the form of a plain dialog box.

【GBN?】

That dialog box hovered before Evolto, while the players around him who glanced at him because of his appearance—whether they knew him, were curious, or admired him—could not perceive it.

"The ID called "Golden's End"—a funny fellow who seems to share some connection with me," Evolto chuckled, "not only does he ignore my friend request, he also doesn't seem keen on combat, and I've never been able to find the room where he exists."

【What value are you willing to pay?】

"Hey hey, no need to put on such airs?" Evolto shrugged, somewhat speechless, "checking an electronic account is a piece of cake for you, right?"

【But you'd find it hard to do, as GBN's GMs won't assist you】

【The assessment of value is mutual; state your price】

"How about occasionally moving the muscles of your subordinates?"

【Hope you can keep your word; he's in room e—31—145……

but I don't advise you to enter now】

"Huh? What could be inadvisable about a game room?"

Having already raised his hand in mid‑air to swipe the game menu, he entered the room number and unexpectedly found it to be a public cosmic‑zone copy, whereupon he pressed 'Join Room'.

A public copy, meaning no password set; seeing this fact, he even showed a smile, although his helmet‑like face gave no hint of it.

Moreover, the Heart of Terra's segment node reminder inevitably made him puzzled, especially the other party's midway hesitation.

The length of that hesitation—who knows whether it was spent checking the room's specifics or seeing something that left him silent.

But it doesn't matter.

It's just a game!

No matter what happens, it's still just something in the game world—his thoughts are exactly like those of a certain boy who once dabbled in "research" back then, and then, the very next second after the connection succeeded and loading finished.

Having already automatically placed themselves inside the armor, they saw the universe.

"Oh~" they couldn't help but exclaim, gazing at the huge gap captured on the camera.

That was a torn universe, scattering out disordered and chaotic data boundaries. qqxδnew

But the laws simulating the real universe still in effect, thus this place is filled with radiation that constantly alarms his machine body, and also with an extraordinarily strong gravity that causes spacetime distortion to run wild.

It caused the detection on their machine body to show the communications that the shattered galaxies would emit, and also the phenomenon of already destroyed life still appearing alive, which is usually hard to understand.

Time lost its continuity, and the distorted gravitational waves were constantly producing singularities with energy layers—that is, black holes, which, as cosmic beings and as operators of similar abilities, they are extremely familiar with.

Such celestial bodies are appearing in large numbers within the field of view, their astonishing gravity so strong that even their machine body cannot resist it.

Even if the black hole engine is activated and overloaded, they are slowly and irresistibly being pulled into those shimmering accretion disks.

"Chíjùn, are you still there? What's going on?"

They weren't nervous at all; of course, there was nothing to be nervous about, after all, as they had said before, it was just a scene in the game.

Even if they died, they could wait to respawn, so their tone showed no panic, even a bit of excitement.

This was the first time they had seen such a scene in this game, and they could even be certain that even those tourists who enter the game just to sightsee would not witness such an extinct and profound phenomenon.

Since this phenomenon is a clear abnormality, the data stream faintly visible in the huge rift in the distance is proof—even player-made special venues or special worlds do not allow simulating this kind of thing to confuse the audiovisual of the program repairers.

At the same time, this also made it convenient for players—when they see this, they can also be sure they have encountered some kind of bug.

Moreover, it is a very virulent bug.

Thus, rather than contacting the GM, they preferred to consult the Heart of Terra's sub-node, which was more omnipotent than the GM, but they saw that the box had just displayed the two characters 'ばく', and the next second it turned into garbled text like 'border? border return-'.

Even just another second!

In that one second of bodily sensation, the simple dialogue box directly cracked.

It seemed unable to continue maintaining its existence, and the simulated cockpit they were in also emitted a creaking sound of being unable to bear the load.

The cause was gravity.

Here the gravity had become so great that the machine body could no longer maintain a human shape, and this place had already become a battlefield where countless black holes adjacent to each other fought and wore each other down.

Although they had the appearance of Masked Rider Evol, they could not use the abilities that Evol should have, and could only, amidst the imbalance of their machine body, look toward the image coming from the still-intact main camera above.

"……Oh~! What is that?!"

Their tone remained excited, but in the silence before the excitement, no one could see the astonishment and shock represented by the helmet itself.

They saw it.

That figure, which should have been visible as soon as they looked up, had been inadvertently overlooked by them at first.

Able to stand in mass form among countless black holes, yet because the black holes distorted the field of view, that posture appeared as a somewhat illusory massive figure.

How many light-years would one need to measure that body?

That figure easily stood amidst the cluster of black holes, and those clusters of black holes wrapped in accretion disks were merely adornments on that colossal form.

The supergravitic mass towering above the black holes had a form like a demon, like a god, and like metal.

With both palms they grasped the clearly tangible yet poster‑like edge of the universe!

They roared, with a blazing aura raising a sound wave that made countless black holes tremble.

And behind them, there were also deforming crimson wings, resembling a simulation of a black hole and also like a dark‑red '0', expanding in a posture that covered the entire field of view.

That was the Steel Demon God, wielding demon‑god‑like power, continuously tearing apart the entire universe.

Even faintly, in this process its body was still expanding.

Meanwhile, Evolto's machine durability was already at its limit.

In the few seconds before their character's hit points gradually dwindled to zero……

Then they witnessed it.

They witnessed it—the point at which the data‑operation rules and the simulated universe laws, together reaching their limit, could no longer bear the load——

Universe Big Bang!

In the fully formed high‑imitation demon god zero, amidst the constantly devouring and expanding dg cells, its final description, with regard to the supergravity mass aspect, referenced the Star‑Eater Ghidorah, Golden End.

——

And, the day after tomorrow, going out to hang out with friends, might need to take a day off.
