Chapter 291

~8 min read 1,442 words

【Ding! You have obtained the seven magic treasures gifted by the Void Emperor, already issued; there is no second set.】

【Ding! You have officially stepped into the ranks of Level 5 Reality Benders, capable of changing the entire world as you please.】

【Now, you can prepare to deploy the next containment object.】

The system's prompts were simple, but whether it was the treasures from the Void Emperor or the Level 5 reality-bending ability, neither were simple things.

Next, it was just a matter of Bai Xuan transcending the scope of a Level 5 Reality Bender and becoming divinity.

After that, he could continuously transform toward one of the Supreme Divinities, the Foundation's "True Administrator".

He is a mysterious existence hidden behind the scenes, the true supervisor, originating from the moment the first person, Asem, saw a miracle. He is the key to the endless cycle of the Foundation and the Chaos Insurgency, and seems to be the mysterious person residing in the Hall of Night in the city of Oth-Papadopolis. He may also have inextricable links to Site-00-00-00 and the traces of the Anomaly Department in the city.

To understand him is to understand the essence of anomalies, the essence of the Foundation, and the essence of 001. There is always someone who will pick up the phone at the last moment.

On the other side, from the beginning of the battle to the end, the audience whose perspective had been following "God" was also discussing it heatedly.

After Clara made her wish, "God" did not immediately take action himself, but instead took Clara to find Dr. Bright.

When Dr. Bright appeared on the screen, the audience immediately speculated wildly.

"Wow, it's Dr. Bright!"

"Lord 'God''s way of saving the world is truly unique... directly asking Dr. Bright for help..."

"Which big shot guess how Dr. Bright is going to save the world?"

"Although it's not Lord 'God' personally saving this planet, it feels a bit overkill for the Foundation to do it... I always feel that the Foundation rebuilding a planet is more in line with their consistent style."

"......"

And after everything was settled, "God" took Clara directly to the "Engine of Creation", telling the story of this civilization's ill-fated relationship with the "Stellaron".

"Ah, Jarilo-VI is truly a lost civilization. To build this kind of giant robot, the first things to solve are energy and material problems, followed by a series of troubles like circuit reliability and computational logic."

"As far as I know, this kind of giant robot was widely used for reshaping the planet's surface a thousand years ago. In other words, this big guy has been frozen on an ice planet for a thousand years and can still start normally."

"Wow, isn't this the guy who showed his face at the 'Herta' space station?"

"...... Holy crap, Lord 'God' seems to know this guy; they even greeted each other."

"It should be. The 'Nameless' branch of the 'Astral Express' seems to have quite a big secret too."

"Damn, standing on top of a robot, looking down at the entire battlefield feels so cool. It seems like everything in the world is under control; it has a feeling of devouring mountains and rivers."

At the same time.

Bai Xuan, along with "God" who was carrying Clara, walked through the air, slowly descending from the "Engine of Creation" to the battered plaza.

"Mother......"

Bronya held the spear with one hand, as if leaning on a cane.

Not far in front of her, Cocolia struggled to stand up, her clothes disheveled, red blood flowing down her forehead; clearly, she had fallen quite hard just now.

Seemingly unable to accept the consequences of failure, Cocolia stumbled, moving at a snail's pace toward the place where the "Stellaron" was located, reaching out her hands, as if this could make the "Stellaron" respond to her will.

"The future promised by the 'Stellaron'... will surely come."

"I... haven't lost yet."

"As long as... I reach that place......"

Seeing this scene, anyone could realize that Cocolia was completely beyond saving, and had even developed hallucinations, falling into delusions.

As for Dr. Bright, who entered as a chaotic factor......

Bai Xuan looked at him; the scholar in the white robe had a smile on his face, holding "Immortality" in his hand, seemingly considering whether to let Cocolia also be controlled by "SCP-963".

"Mother... is Cocolia still savable?"

Bronya asked suddenly.

"That depends on you." "God"'s face still wore a warm and reserved smile.

"What do you mean?"

"It means the Foundation has many methods it can adopt, and 'SCP-343' can use even more means."

Dr. Bright walked over slowly, interrupting this conversation.

Bronya frowned: "Sorry, I don't quite understand... what is the Foundation, and what is a containment object?"

Dr. Bright then remembered that the entire Jarilo-VI had suffered a disaster that should have restarted the entire civilization. If the Foundation were to handle it, it would definitely initiate a "Deus Ex Machina", treating this disaster as if it never happened.

Thanks to the two successive natural disasters of the "Antimatter Legion" and the "Cold Wave", the technological level of the civilization on this planet had regressed too much, not even reaching their level from two thousand years ago.

On the entire planet, there weren't even a few screens capable of watching the Foundation's live broadcast.

Naturally, the natives of this lost civilization wouldn't understand what the Foundation or containment objects were.

Dr. Bright smiled without warmth.

In the past, this meant he might start his pranks at any time, perhaps saying something shocking, or perhaps making a nasty joke that disregarded the other party's safety.

"In other words, we have the following ways to help your mother, this lady, restore the normality in your heart——"

"Modify her memory, twist her will, so that she never came into contact with the 'Stellaron' from beginning to end, and has always been a dutiful Supreme Guardian;"

"Reshape a body, let the new Cocolia become the perfect mother and perfect guardian in your heart; of course, she won't know she's a replica......"

"Or, you accept reality, accept that there is a huge difference between the Cocolia in your imagination and the Cocolia in reality, and go back to announce that she died in the struggle with the 'Stellaron'."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"......"

Bronya fell into silence.

She watched Cocolia stagger a distance and arrive before the "Stellaron".

That was the sealing device left by the Architects, and the "Stellaron" was currently sealed within it.

However, she still couldn't quite understand why her mother had reached this point, how long Cocolia had been bewitched by the "Stellaron", and what kind of new world she had been tempted by, deciding to destroy everything she wanted to protect with her own hands.

Cocolia stood before the floating device, ignoring the giant robot that towered into the clouds, her expression manic.

"Stellaron, in the name of the Supreme Guardian, I command you to awaken!"

"Mother, you should wake up." Bronya said, "You have been blinded by the 'Stellaron', your consciousness is chaotic; if not for the help of the visitors from outside the world, you would have almost caused a great disaster."

Bronya was ultimately still a bit soft-hearted.

All the teachers she had met and all the books she had read so far had not taught her how to deal with a traitor, let alone that this traitor was the Supreme Guardian who was least likely to betray.

This was not strange; in an environment like Belobog, everyone huddled together for warmth in a desperate situation; no one was stupid enough to betray, as that would mean cutting oneself off from all of Belobog.

Without the Supreme Guardian's order, the Silvermane Guards would deal with them.

But, the premise was......

Cocolia still had her sanity and could realize that this was the path to survival her adopted daughter had left for her.

"You! You!"

Cocolia turned around, hunching her back, looking manic.

"Don't think you can deceive me! The future promised by the 'Stellaron' will surely unfold, and you will inevitably fail!"

Truly interesting.

Dr. Bright's face, which had calmed down, once again revealed a big smile.

"You said the 'Stellaron' actively bewitched you, so that means it has the characteristics of being alive, right?"

"Hmph hmph......"

Cocolia glared coldly; half of her face was covered in blood red, looking incredibly disheveled, yet she seemed like the only person on the field who held the initiative.

Regarding this, Dr. Bright's way of responding was very simple.

He didn't make many moves, just took a communicator out of his pocket.
