The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"Even now, you still don't understand?"

When Zhou Mu reappeared from the shadows, the frivolousness on his face was gone.

The god, now only a remnant of his soul, was no longer as arrogant as before.

"Simply by calling out a name, the real world will be eroded and riddled with holes... and the fragments that are stripped from the body are an enormous threat that is constantly gnawing at the world."

Pure power alone cannot defeat this existence that transcends reality.

But as long as humans can still be called primates, they can still create possibilities for the future.

"By denying your own human identity, you also deny the 'possibility' of humanity... And having lost your possibility, you naturally cannot escape the corruption of the abyss."

That which cannot even be named is the 'root' that existed before the birth of the universe—and its essence is the cycle of the birth and death of concepts.

Humanity, which is insignificant on the scale of the universe, must constantly create new possibilities to escape its predetermined fate.

"The process of resisting the corruption of the Abyss is like constantly telling a story that already has an ending... As long as the storytelling continues, the story will not reach its end."

While this may only postpone the end, if a "miracle" does happen that can change the outcome, then these efforts will not have been in vain.

However, not everyone can understand this.

"And you, from the very beginning, embarked on a dead end."

"..."

The pursuit of power to dominate the world, solely to satisfy one's own selfish desires—such stories are predictable from the start, and therefore have no reason to continue telling.

"Alright, I should leave now... so I'll give you one last chance."

The chaotic sea that originally covered the space is constantly collapsing and peeling away, and the condensed star power is also constantly flowing away and dissipating—the man-made giant has no meaning to exist and naturally has to return to its original place of origin.

"Whether you give up everything you have now and start a new life as an ordinary person, or return to your planet and disappear—make your choice."

You mean... a choice?

Even with only a wisp of its soul remaining, the Star God still retains its power.

He is the chosen one favored by the planet, and a god who should rule over mankind... Therefore, he will not entrust his fate to others.

"Don't joke around! I am a god who transcends all things! How could I possibly lose to an ant like you... and this inexplicable thing!"

Thus, the enraged god unleashed his last power, fully activating a certain trait he had just copied from Zhou Mu.

Then, countless dark rifts, like cracks, converged toward his soul.

"...Are you crazy?"

"Hahahaha! You think you're the only one who can control this power? I've completely copied your soul, so this dark power will also be at my disposal!"

Something dark was constantly gathering, and even the chaotic life forms that were collapsing around it were being drawn towards it.

Meanwhile, the soul of the deity began to expand violently, gradually merging with the gathering darkness.

"That's right, that's it! With this power, I will become a true god who rules the universe! Ahahahaha—"

—The arrogant laughter came to an abrupt end.

Because the darkness that had coalesced suddenly transformed into something resembling a human being before the soul of the deity.

"What? What's going on... Why am I... disappearing..."

"...Because you have already lost the possibility, you have no right to move towards the future."

"No, I am God... I am..."

The radiance was swallowed by the darkness, and life slipped into the void... When the remnant soul of the god was finally covered by the black cracks, his voice finally ceased to ring out.

The chosen god of the planet was thus completely swallowed up by the bottomless abyss and ceased to exist.

……

Although the enemy has been defeated, the darkness has not yet receded.

Zhou Mu gazed at the 'darkness' that seemed to be taking human form, and finally let out a heavy sigh.

"This is the end of humanity, called arrogance—is this what you came here to tell me?"

The chaotic sea had dissipated with the passing of the gods, but Zhou Mu remained on the outer edge of the planet, at any moment he might drift into the void of the universe.

He had been banished by the gods representing the planet, so the planet's gravity no longer affected him—and having lost his place of return, he could only decay in meaningless drifting.

“■·■■……Madam”

However, at this moment, the humanoid darkness finally transformed into a mature woman with an elegant demeanor, wearing a long dress and a top hat.

She was like a noblewoman on a country outing, or a maid going out to shop—although he couldn’t quite make out her appearance, Zhou Mu instinctively knew her true identity.

Because he called out that name, the one being called naturally had to respond.

【——】

"Humans are bound to make these kinds of mistakes, so... I have to do what I can."

Although no sound came through at all, Zhou Mu still "heard" the other party's words.

That was high-level information that had surpassed the scope of human understanding, and it was also a kind of coercive force that was almost a "divine oracle"—but for Zhou Mu, it was more like an elderly elder expressing his expectations for him.

【——】

"My wish? I have forgotten many things from the past, but... I still want to find those people I have forgotten, who are engraved in my soul."

Because he is now both a pure human being and a companion and symbiotic being of the Black Abyss Fragment.

However, he is now getting further and further away from the planet where he experienced so many events.

【——】

“A miracle…no, I think that’s also a possibility. One day, humanity will find a way to coexist with those fragments.”

The fragments shed by the Lord of the Abyss still threaten the entire universe, but humanity may have found a way to work together with it.

Zhou Mu, who created this miracle and opened up this new destiny for mankind, will also play an important role in the future.

But now, he needs to figure out how to get through this long journey through space.

【——】

"Really... Thank you for your guidance. I will... get there as soon as possible."

Even if reality could be altered and fate reversed, the distance between distant times and spaces could not be shortened immediately.

So, this visitor from another world who once saved the world but was banished by the planet finally embarked on a journey to a distant land during his long slumber.

When the long night finally ends and the dawn shines upon his soul once more, he will bring new hope to humanity.

"But now... please let me rest for a bit."

Sleep peacefully, son of man.
