Chapter 21 The Destroyer Who Destroyed the World!
The scene of Bai He killing ten C-level superhumans with a single word was too horrifying.

In the square, the remaining attackers were terrified.

At that moment, they completely lost their will to fight and scrambled to escape from the school.

Even though the mysterious person has disappeared, Du Lingwei is still alive!
Without the obstruction of those C-level superhumans, Du Lingwei alone could burn all these D-level superhumans to ashes!

Are we to stay and wait to be cremated?

However, just as they reached the school gate, the sound of shattering glass rang out.

The invisible barrier outside the gate shattered automatically, turning into countless transparent, sharp raindrops that fell on the attackers.

There wasn't even a wailing; in the blink of an eye, only a pile of corpses remained.

On the street outside the school, there also stood a masked attacker.

His gaze swept across the area, and after confirming there were no survivors, he turned and retreated, disappearing into a mirror.

The attacker who fought Zhong Honglian, who was above the school, also saw everything that happened inside the school.

"It only lasted this long... that's about right."

He raised his finger and flicked it lightly, shattering the space in front of him along with the flames, creating a wide-open passage.

Then, he vanished in a flash, disappearing into the distance at an unimaginable speed—he simply escaped!

Zhong Honglian watched him leave without giving chase.

She lowered her head, looking at the campus that was almost reduced to ruins, a cold glint in her eyes.

At this time, some of the attackers were still fighting with teachers and students in places such as the classrooms of the elite classes.

Seeing this, she had a sudden thought, and from the sea of ​​fire reflecting in the sky, countless sparks fell from the sky like a dazzling rain of fire, beautiful yet full of danger.

The fire rain avoided the teachers and students, falling instead on the attackers.

In an instant, the attackers who came into contact with the flames turned to ashes and scattered with the wind.

Having resolved these troubles, Zhong Honglian looked at the square, her eyes slightly narrowed, but she couldn't see any trace of the mysterious person from before.

It's as if he doesn't exist at all.

but……

If Zhong Honglian wasn't mistaken, the ability he used to kill the numerous attackers was—

【Word Spirit】

This is not some common talent.

To date, only two extraordinary individuals possess this talent.

One was the first person to possess the power of words, but he died back in 1997.

The second one is Jiang He, who has just awakened his talent.

Zhong Honglian turned her gaze to Jiang He, who was in a daze, and remembered the look in his eyes yesterday when he wanted to switch to the Burning Sun class, as if he was "seeking advice." She suddenly understood.

She did not immediately verify the idea.

Instead, he spoke from afar.

"Ling Wei, I'll leave this to you for now."

After saying that, she moved and transformed into a fiery meteor, flying towards the city center.

The sea of ​​fire was trailed behind her, like a pair of fiery wings that blotted out the sky.

……

On campus, Du Lingwei put the mysterious man from her mind.

She directed the teachers to rescue the injured students.

In this attack, the entire Zhongzhou No. 1 High School was almost reduced to ruins, with heavy casualties among teachers and students, and cries of despair echoing everywhere.

She, along with her teacher who possessed investigative talents, searched for people buried in the rubble.

On one hand, people with healing talents were assigned to treat the injured.

At this moment, Jiang He and Chi Zhilei truly came into their own.

As long as the injury is not fatal on the spot, Jiang He can stop the loss of life force with a single word.

Chi Zhilei, on the other hand, uses her fragrant body to release a mixed aura of "healing," "calming," and "pain relief," quickly restoring the injured person's condition.

With the help of the medical staff, everyone's injuries were quickly brought under control, preventing the casualties from escalating further.

However, Jiang He's extraordinary energy level was too low, and his spiritual power was scarce.

After using the power of words only a few times, his mental energy was completely drained.

"The meditation room has been destroyed, so there's no way to quickly replenish our mental energy..."

Wei Sheng returned to human form and helped Jiang He to the adjacent lounge.

Only he knew best how much of a role this student, who was only an F-rank, played in the attack just now.

If it weren't for Jiang He, the number of casualties would have been several times higher!
Wei Sheng was increasingly pleased with the student and said gently, "You can rest here for now."

"Ah."

Jiang He sat obediently in the chair and closed his eyes.

After waiting a few seconds, he heard Wei Sheng walk out of the room and gently close the door, and then he opened his eyes again.

He turned his head and looked at the white-haired youth sitting at the table on the other side of the lounge.

"I need an explanation."

"Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Bai He shrugged: "By now, you should have guessed it—Du Lingwei is our future wife."

"In the timeline I've experienced, she was severely injured in this battle. In order to protect others, she abandoned her own defense and fought desperately to kill several other enemies. She was on the verge of death at one point."

"I knew all this, and I didn't intend to interfere... but I just couldn't help it."

Even though Jiang He had anticipated this, his heart still raced upon hearing these words.

Du Lingwei, this girl who is so perfect that she is almost dazzling, is actually his future wife!
This was something he never dared to dream of!

Wait, no, this is from another timeline.

We must not be led astray.

Jiang He tried his best to erase Du Lingwei's image from his mind.

Bai He continued.

"Oh, by the way, I also took care of those two people last night."

“They not only killed people, but they also became extraordinary thugs in the future… so I just restarted their game.”

"As for when we took action... you went to bed early yesterday, so I went out for a late-night snack and bumped into you on the way."

"...?"

Jiang He felt a chill run down his spine.

He fell asleep last night, and Baihe took the opportunity to go out alone, killing two people along the way.
Doesn't this mean that as long as he's not paying attention, the white crane can move freely, especially at night, doing whatever it wants and killing whoever it wants?
Is this still my own heroic spirit?!

Baihe shrugged: "I reminded you that you should be wary of yourself—even when you're asleep."

"I am the future you, not a puppet."

Clearly, Bai He had already figured out how to deal with Jiang He after he made his move.

He knew his younger self very well; given a suitable reason, acting on his own wasn't so unacceptable.

At most, you'll lose your free time at night earlier, that's all.

Besides, what can Jiang He do even if he doesn't accept it?
He's just a heroic spirit with no future, what's there to be afraid of?
The white crane looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Jiang He finally understood the meaning of Bai He's initial statement, "The future me is not me."

At least Jiang He wouldn't play mind games with me—we're all the same person, what's the point?

However, precisely because of this.

Jiang He figured something out.

To date, all accounts of the future that the white crane has experienced are solely based on the white crane's own perspective.

Because it was "himself" who said it, Jiang He didn't doubt it and believed it immediately.

But what if the white crane "lied"?
Just like Jiang He didn't want his future self to see his browsing history.

If the white crane also has things it doesn't want its past self to know, and thus chooses to conceal them, or even lie... this is not impossible!
Of course, even if Jiang He suspected Bai He was lying, he had no way to verify it.

But it's different now.

He had once witnessed a vision of the future.

"Endless ruins, ten thousand people bowing in reverence."

In this picture, what role does the white crane play?
"Bai He, you said that in the future, a top-tier S-class superhuman would go berserk, nearly destroying human civilization and turning the world into ruins," Jiang He suddenly asked.

Who is that superhuman?

Bai He: "Why ask him? The point isn't about any particular superhuman, but about this era. As long as this trend continues, there will eventually be..."

Jiang He interrupted him: "I'm asking you, who is he?"

Bai He stared into Jiang He's eyes and discerned something.

He said, "Xu Cangyu's talent is S-level [Matter Decomposition], which allows him to decompose any matter at the particle level."

"He was only thirty-three years old when he went mad... He wasn't even born yet at that point." Since he wasn't born, there's no way to verify it.

Jiang He didn't dwell on why Xu Cangyu, at only thirty-three years old, had become one of the world's top experts... It's best not to pry into matters of S-level geniuses.

He continued, "Did you kill him?"

“…Yes.” Bai He: “His abilities are too strong. Even I would instantly disintegrate if I appeared in his field of vision.”

"Therefore, I only found an opportunity to strike and kill him completely when he was exhausted."

Jiang He listened quietly, then continued to ask, "What about the world after he died?"

Bai He lowered his eyes slightly: "Human civilization was almost destroyed... As the one who killed him, I was regarded as a savior by the survivors, leading them to survive in the apocalypse."

"However, the battles fought by the S-class superhumans nearly destroyed Earth's ecosystem, turning the world into a wasteland..."

"Even after decades, it has not recovered."

The logic behind what Baihe said is self-consistent.

There was no pause for thought in between; it seemed as if she was recounting a memory.

Jiang He could hardly find fault with these words, let alone verify them.

So he asked, "After human civilization was destroyed, has anyone attacked you or angered you?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai He raised his eyes again, his gaze turning cold, as if he had become a different person.

"What do you see."

Not a question, but a statement.

Jiang He's questions are all too obviously pointed.

It's not about understanding the future; it's about having already obtained the answers to the questions and now seeking verification.

Jiang He paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Through my talent, I saw the 'future.'"

"In your world, there are no survivors, only endless corpses kneeling in the ruins."

Jiang He was unsure whether the scene he saw when he awakened his talent belonged to Bai He.

At this moment, however, he spoke with extreme certainty.

It was as if he had truly witnessed it all.

The white crane fell completely silent.

He met Jiang He's gaze, his eyes devoid of warmth, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"I thought I would have to wait a while longer... It's been exposed so quickly."

The effects of a superhuman's talent are not constant.

As the energy level of the extraordinary individual increases, they will gradually become stronger, and may even awaken new effects.

Furthermore, as the level of a superhuman increases, they can also create their own superhuman profession, just like Bai He and Zhong Honglian, thus fully utilizing their talents.

Therefore, when Bai He learned about Jiang He's talent, he already understood that this talent, which could summon other timelines, would definitely give him the ability to spy on or even come into contact with other timelines in the future!

Even if you don't have it for now, you can acquire it later by creating extraordinary professions.

But the white crane never expected...

Jiang He has grown up so fast.

Having just broken through to F-rank, he already possessed the power of "peeping".

Those prostrating corpses became the medium through which he spied.
"It's an almost cheating talent."

The white crane sighed once again.

"Since that's the case, let's lay our cards on the table."

"You want to know the meaning behind that scene?"

"hehe."

The white crane spoke with a emotionless smile.

"On September 27, 2066, the greatest and most devastating catastrophic event in human history occurred on Earth—"

"The Destroyer of Worlds, foretold by the Prophet, has arrived."

"He is a god born on earth, possessing power surpassing S-class, the power to destroy everything, and the ability to control, or even destroy, an entire planet at any time."

"So he used that power."

"It only takes a second, just a thought."

"All living beings knelt before the destroyer and gave their lives."

"This is the end of the world."

Jiang He's heart raced: "He is..."

"I."

The white crane gave the answer with a mocking sneer.

"The person standing before you is the strongest in human history, the first Super S-class transcendent, the most evil transcendent thug, the one who brought about the end of the world... the Destroyer."

Jiang He obtained the "truth," but felt no excitement whatsoever.

Instead, he felt suffocated looking at the sneering white crane.

Although he had only spent less than two days with Bai He, he had already gotten somewhat used to this future version of himself.

In his mind, although Baihe was somewhat sharp-tongued and emotionally unstable, she was always helping him grow, seemingly sincerely hoping that he would have a bright future.

Bai He also kept reminding Jiang He of the dangers of his rampage and helped him prepare for the future of his rampage.

Even if Bai He were to kill someone, it wouldn't be considered "indiscriminate killing," as he would at least have reasons to convince Jiang He.

That kind of people……

How could he possibly be the "destroyer of the world" who destroyed it?
The white crane's eyes were lowered.

He was prepared to deal with the teenager's questions and accusations.

As expected, Jiang He's voice rang out.

"why?"

Because it’s fun?

Bai He raised his eyes, about to make a sarcastic remark, but stopped himself from speaking.

He looked at his younger self, clenched his fists, bit his lip, but his eyes did not show fear, alienation, or doubt. Instead, they showed confusion, pain, and even concern.

This guy... actually cares about someone who destroyed the world?
Jiang He: "Why did you do that?"

The white crane repeated, "Why?"

“Extraordinary out-of-control behavior, going berserk... is often due to the experiences of extraordinary individuals.”

"Whether it's hatred, madness, or venting, no one goes berserk for no reason... at least not 'I'."

Jiang He asked, "So, what caused you to lose control?"

"..."

The white crane fell silent.

He raised his hand and gently touched the scar on his collarbone.

He gazed into Jiang He's eyes and discerned "his" emotions.

He spoke.

"Stupid."

Jiang He: "...Huh?"

Bai He sneered: "You ask me why? And what is it for?"

Sympathy? Empathy? Understanding?

"And then, you comfort yourself with the thought that my destruction of the world is someone else's own fault?"

"You fucking use your brain! I destroyed a world, killed billions of humans, and left not a single survivor!"

"You're empathizing with me here? Just because I'm your future self?"

"nausea."

The white crane's eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage and disgust.

This aversion wasn't directed at Jiang He; quite the opposite, it was directed at him personally.

He got up and walked outside.

"Put aside your childish ideas."

“I’m not here to play house with you.”

"I don't need your empathy, I don't need your understanding, and I certainly don't need you to know my past."

"I am merely one possibility of your future, an 'evil spirit' from another timeline."

Instead of pitying myself for something I despise, I should think about how to avoid going down the same path as myself.

After Bai He finished speaking, his figure disappeared behind the wall.
