Chapter 198

"Are you referring to restarting the entire civilization? Or restarting the entire galaxy..."

"If we were to restart the entire galaxy or universe, we would first need a crisis of the corresponding level, and then dispatch a fleet to cleanse the corresponding region..."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, the most important thing is to obtain permission from the Administrator."

"Restart... the universe?"

Sampo was stunned for a moment.

"Has the Foundation ever restarted the universe?"

Dr. Bright shook his head:

"Perhaps they have, perhaps they haven't... There's no need to dwell on these things."

"I have experienced countless destructions and rebirths of the world, so I don't really want to recall those things..."

As he spoke, the gaunt doctor picked up the "Immortality" amulet from his chest.

The secret to Dr. Bright having so many experiences lies entirely in it.

However, he didn't have much affection for this thing in his hand.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, he is the lucky one named Bright, who gained eternal life through "Immortality," possessing infinite time and endless life.

Under the sunlight, the thirteen brilliant-cut diamonds and one oval ruby shone with dazzling light.

The sunlight was reflected inside, creating an optical feast, making the gems look as if they were lit up, with small suns ignited within.

This is a beautiful image, but Bright only felt that it was burning his soul.

"Immortality" is the true Bright; the body wearing "Immortality" is nothing more than a doll, hardware that can be replaced at any time.

It's just like the magical girl anime from a long, long time ago—poor girls, forcibly divided into soul gems and bodies that carry consciousness.

Dr. Bright considered himself a rather shallow person, with no grand ambitions and nothing he particularly wanted to do.

Uh... if wanting to die suddenly, to die completely, counts as a "thing."

Then he did have something he wanted to do.

Seeing the doctor suddenly fall silent and stare intently at the "amulet" in his hand, Sampo felt a chill run up from the soles of his feet.

But this chill didn't come from the EMO Dr. Bright.

A slight sound rang out, not so harmonious.

"?"

Sampo frowned.

Dr. Bright felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

This was a rare feeling.

Even when containment failed or civilization was destroyed, there was no such inexplicable feeling.

He looked up in confusion and looked around, first staring at Sampo, but the latter was just lying there honestly, pressing a human-shaped outline into the grass.

Dr. Bright continued to search.

He was not afraid of death, and occasionally took pleasure in chasing death, but that didn't mean he liked uncontrollable death.

He had a lot to say about this, such as being surrounded by the white sand of "Missing Things," unable to die, yet unable to be reborn.

A lonely ghost drifting in the darkness of "Immortality," suffering.

The earth began to tremble and sway slightly.

And not far from the girl "Gaia," a magical scene appeared.

Seeming to loathe human ruins immensely, tree saplings began to sprout, and the already lush giant trees continued to sprout branches and extend roots... This would have been a good situation.

If they hadn't affected the buildings not far away—they were already teetering.

Dr. Bright realized what had happened and what was about to happen.

"Oh, damn..."

The moment he rushed out a few steps and grabbed the girl "Gaia" to start running, the fragile windows shattered with a bang.

Hundreds of glass shards fell from a height, raining down a dangerous shower.

A "creaking" sound echoed in the air, sharp and piercing.

Immediately after, a crack began to spread from the bottom, like the claw marks of a giant beast, crossing the surface of the high-rise.

The walls of the first and second floors collapsed, and the steel bars and concrete began to twist and tilt.

Accompanied by the sharp sound of metal scraping, the high-rise gradually tilted to one side, until the moment the structure could no longer bear the weight.

It completely lost its balance and fell to the ground, incidentally hitting another building.

Suddenly.

The buildings collapsed one by one like dominoes.

Not far away.

Dr. Bright was half-bent over, panting.

The girl "Gaia" looked at the disappearing city, somewhat dazed.

As for Sampo.

This mysterious merchant with unknown motives looked at the spreading dust, heartbroken.

That was all money!

Now was the most critical moment!

Belobog was about to embark on the road to revival!

The ancient relics in this city would definitely sell for a good price!

But now!

Everything was gone!

"Ah!!!"

"My ancient relics... they're all gone now!"

Dr. Bright walked up to the blue-haired merchant and patted him on the shoulder with a smile:

"Young man, look on the bright side. Do you want to try the 'amulet'? I think it will bring you some different luck."

Jarilo-VI, Goethe Hotel.

Just as Bai Bai Xuan dissipated the "Silence Barrier" and was getting dressed, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

【Recovery of "SCP-166" successful!】

【System reward issued!】

He walked to the window and opened it to let the air out.

Having just experienced a morning battle, March 7th and "Stelle" were both exhausted and fast asleep.

Bai Bai Xuan shook his head.

Since becoming a divinity, he had never felt a lack of physical strength or energy; these human parts were leaving him.

This was, of course, a good thing for him.

Stretching long, he looked up at the sky; the story on the light screen had already come to an end.

Otherwise, the system wouldn't have given him a prompt.

The antlered girl in the picture was slowly disappearing, moving diagonally downward along the Foundation's passage.

Before the passage was about to close, she paused slightly and looked back, with a trace of reluctance.

Then she continued to step down and returned completely to the Foundation's site.

This surface site, as well as a large surrounding area, were protected by Scranton Reality Anchors and would not be restored or destroyed by her power.

The system's prompt continued.

【Ding! The former "SCP-166," the "Succubus Girl," has learned more knowledge, grown in all aspects, and her dependence has deepened.】

As the system's prompt sounded, the "Succubus Girl's" charm increased significantly, becoming even more alluring and delicate.

She was just taking a nap on the bed, possessing both a sense of holiness and the ability to captivate souls.

Seeming to notice Bai Bai Xuan's gaze.

The "Succubus Girl" rose slightly, a few strands of long hair hanging down along the contours of her body, showing off her beauty without reservation.

The Luofu Luofu Xianzhou "Luofu," Divination Commission.

The Divination Commission was still busy today.

The cause of the abnormal celestial phenomena from the past few days had not yet been identified, and the predictions for the coming days were somewhat inaccurate.
