After the world was destroyed again, I became a drifter

"What does it mean to be on the verge of destruction? Are we going to die along with this world?" Kamishiro Rio asked in confusion.

Yu Yiyu asked her to sit down and then stood in the kitchen to get a drink and said, "This is a long story, I'll try to be brief."

Oh my, the wine and juice are placed on both sides respectively. It seems that this is a place for at least two people to live in, and they are specially separated.

"So, where should we start..." Yu Yiyu thought for a moment and then began to explain.

"In fact, I have experienced two deaths. The first death brought me to the world where my body is alive now, and the second death made me a drifter."

"Well, I've heard you say that in your previous life, the world of Ophelia and I were actually things in entertainment works. We are also virtual characters, right?"

Yu Yiyu nodded and continued, "Yes, the world I went to after reincarnation can also be called a virtual work. In my previous life, it was called the world of a series of related works called Type-Moon World."

Kamishiro Rio sipped orange juice and said, "I see. In other words, we have come to a parallel world in the Type-Moon world you mentioned. Although the environment is indeed problematic, are you so sure that this world is not far from destruction?"

"Of course I am. After all, I am also a part of this world, although it is a parallel world. In the Type-Moon world, the entire planet will inevitably meet its end in the future. It may be the Land of Steel or the Moon Coral. In that world, the planet itself has died, but some life has been able to change its life form and survive. At that time, there will be one called the Original One...ah, I am going a bit far."

"The planet died but some life survived. But why did it perish?"

"There is magic in this world. The planet itself, and the source that comes out is called the Great Source. Basically, the use of large-scale magic depends on the Great Source, and the total number of Great Sources is limited. Before the Age of Gods, the use of magic was a cycle, returning the magic power used to the Great Source, but in modern times, it has become consumption. As the number of magicians increases, the amount of Great Source that each person can use will decrease, so modern magicians all adhere to the belief of secrecy and try not to let irrelevant people know about the existence of magic."

"That is to say, in the past, the magic power of the Great Source was recycled and self-sufficient. But in the period after the Age of Gods you mentioned, the nature of magic suddenly became consumption. As humans consumed it, the Great Source gradually decreased, and eventually that part of the magic power would disappear directly. But what does this have to do with the destruction of the world?"

"It matters a lot. Although the Great Source is used by magicians as a magical resource, it is also an element that maintains the stability of the world. If the Great Source decreases, the resources produced in the world will become less and less, and the area where creatures cannot survive will expand. Eventually, the entire area will become a lifeless dead place. Plants will die, and the animals that feed on those plants will also die, further causing more deaths until all creatures are destroyed in a chain reaction."

“Is it really like this…?”

"It's not over yet. As the great source gradually disappears, new elements will appear as replacements. Those are elements that the planet itself possesses. They were very common in the Age of Gods, but nowadays they are toxins to any living thing. That element is called the Fifth Truth Element, also called ether, and is considered a special element that makes up the planet."

"When all the great sources in the world disappear, the planet itself will use ether to replace the existence of the great source magic. The planet will become an environment unsuitable for the survival of current species. Eventually, all creatures that cannot adapt and evolve to a new form will become extinct. The earth will be lifeless. No wonder it is called the Land of Steel."

At this point, Kamishiro Rio also had a general understanding of the importance of Daigen's existence. Daigen's demise means the demise of the world itself. As a magician of this world, Yu Yiyu can definitely feel this change. No wonder he said so confidently that this world is on the verge of destruction.

Kamishiro Rio flattened and folded the empty carton, threw it into the trash can and asked, "How long will it take until the world is destroyed?"

"I don't know." Yu Yiyu shook his head and looked out the window. "However, the environment has changed. I guess the earth's axis has shifted. If we think in terms of the time in my world, this planet will end within three or four hundred years."

"Three or four hundred years, that's a long time. If humans can find a new home during this period, then there's nothing to worry about."

"That's a problem. It's not so easy for science to advance into the universe, let alone find a new home. Maybe after a hundred years, most resources will have been consumed, and technology will not be able to advance. The more science develops, the weaker the existence of the mysterious side will become. This is unacceptable to magi."

"Why? Humanity can continue to exist like this."

"The premise is that the people who survive are human beings." Yu Yiyu bit the straw and continued, "Most magicians don't consider ordinary people as human beings. The only people who can be called human beings are those who are also magicians."

"Wow...the magicians in your world are a bit inhumane." It was obvious that Yu Yiyu's remarks were incomprehensible to Kamishiro Rio, but for a magician, this was normal behavior.

"That's totally normal. As long as the family magic can be passed on, a magician can definitely do anything." Yu Yiyu threw the finished drink into the trash can.

"Well, that's about it. But I still don't know enough. It would be nice if I could just know which world line this is. That way, I would at least know what to do."

"Looks like we're back to square one. I have no choice but to come and help. The environment in this world is a bit strange, but I can still do flying and teleportation."

"Then why don't you fly up and see if there is a red bridge in this city, a very conspicuous one. If I'm not mistaken, the name of this city is most likely Fuyuki."

"Understood. Wait a moment." She walked over, opened the French window, and took off on the spot, disappearing soon.

Yu Yiyu opened the book that Kamishiro Rio found, and as he flipped through it, he confirmed that this place was Fuyuki. It was an old acquaintance.
