Mythology: Ragnarok

However, as time passed, the multiverse's attitude towards the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races, a part of its past history, gradually shifted from initial admiration to suspicion and jealousy. Civilizations were unwilling to acknowledge the existence of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races, because in its presence, any other civilization's political system seemed as wretched as excrement. Thus, in order to maintain their rule and elevate themselves, all civilizations in the multiverse began to smear this brilliant civilization, eliminate all documents related to it, and fabricate false histories.

Thus, the existence of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races was erased, the magic left behind by the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races was destroyed, and the technology left behind by the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races was destroyed. The only record left was about the mistake of destroying the Dragon God, because they could not tolerate a perfect being but could tolerate the appearance of an evil dragon.

Through the tireless efforts of later generations, the Destroyer Dragon God was portrayed in historical records as an evil dragon who only knew how to kill and destroyed the ancient gods. Agred was depicted as an unpardonable demon, and all his subordinates were portrayed as extremely evil beings who were brutal, murderous, capricious, foolish, selfish, greedy, and vicious.

Of course, there were upright scholars who opposed this self-deceiving and despicable behavior, but all those who wanted to tell the truth... were executed!

Ironically, Agreed's history of conquering all sides is preserved, while his immortal achievements are buried in the dust, simply because people prefer to insult rather than praise. We prefer to slander others than appreciate them. When something unheard of or unseen happens, people's first reaction is to blame and prejudice. We never think that perhaps we ourselves are the frogs in the well!

Therefore, people always remember the infamous demons who are remembered for eternity, rather than the heroes who save people from suffering and are worthy of lasting fame, because we prefer fictional perfection to real-life perfection!

The inherent flaws of life are laid bare before time, and time has once again proven to us that even the most divine beings eventually turn to dust.

Under the immense power of time, the gods in the multiverse gradually diminished due to their mutual battles and withdrew from the stage of history. Everything was returned to its starting point, and the world is about to restart once again.

……

"Number 143, your universe is damaged. If you don't restart it soon, it will be too late."

On a virtual screen, the inspector of the Rebooter team was impatiently urging Rebooter Number 143. Number 143 was holding a book from a low-level civilization, engrossed in a sentence: "I have a dream. Perhaps one day, the brilliant sunlight will shine into the dark forest, and all races will coexist freely and amicably in the same world."

"Number 143! What are you daydreaming about? We're having a meeting, can't you concentrate?" The leader of the Rebooters roared impatiently. After all, thousands of Rebooters were watching the meeting, and if he ignored this indifference, he would easily lose his authority and cause more people to disobey orders. He didn't want that to happen, but he knew he had to do it now.

Immediately afterward, the 143rd Rebooter was jolted awake and quickly replied, "I'm here! Sorry, I was just spacing out."

The leader did not continue to criticize, but simply said, "Don't bring that book to the next meeting. I know you're tired too, but this is a mission we must carry out. Now quickly restart your universe and come back to report to me when everything is done."

The 143rd Rebooter, staring at the large screen before him, suddenly asked the leader, "Do you think the sun will rise again? Will the Golden Forest era return?"

The inspector was caught off guard by his sudden question, but after a moment of surprise, he could only sigh and say, "It will definitely happen, because the sun will always rise as usual. Either the old sun will return or a new sun will appear. It is an endless cycle and we are a part of it."

Our duty now is to stop those foolish lives from destroying this forest before the sun rises again, to allow the Dark Forest to survive until the next sunrise. We are the guardians of the night, the universe's last line of defense. We don't protect civilization; we protect the future of this universe! Go, it's time for you to fulfill your duty.

Number 143 nodded in response, "Yes, sir." After saying that, Number 143 hung up the communication channel, then picked up the replica Tech God Core in his hand, opened a portal, and arrived at his base outside the small world.

At this moment, a group of strangely dressed alien beings immediately knelt down respectfully upon seeing Number 143 and asked, "Great Rebooter, your most devout followers, the 'Zeroing Cult,' pay our respects to you. May we ask what new instructions you have for us?"

Number 143 looked at the Zeroing Cult in front of him. This was an organization he had supported in the universe after the last reboot. Usually, the rebooters would stay in their small worlds and sleep, so in order to keep up with the progress of the outside universe, the rebooters would raise pets in the universe. The Zeroing Cult was the pet that Number 143 raised in this universe.

Rebooter No. 143 used genetic engineering to create a group of low-level life forms without the ability to create, and provided them with enough technological assistance to enable them to reach the strength of a Level 7 civilization. This gave the Zero Cult great power, but because they lacked the ability to create, they obeyed No. 143 like loyal servants and helped him control the development of this universe.

"Have you relayed my message to those parasites hiding in their private worlds? What has their response been so far?"

"Great Rebooter, the Zero Cult has conveyed your instructions to those worthless beings who are attempting to sneak into the next cosmic cycle, but our tactful persuasion has clearly not garnered their attention. These worthless beings are incapable of achieving the divine status of a technological god, yet they still wish to live a meaningless existence in this world. Great Rebooter, please purify these filthy souls."

"Is there not even one self-aware person?"

"Well... there are a few who returned the small worlds they created to the universe, but they weren't entirely clean and some left behind some material out of selfishness."

Rebooter No. 143 sighed helplessly, "It doesn't matter anymore. It's just a matter of moving a finger. I was just being delusional to expect those beasts who destroyed the universe to have a sense of responsibility and dedication. It's pathetic that they wanted to escape the destruction of the universe. Their actions will only make the restart of the universe more difficult. Rebooters will not let them take anything with them. Not even a basic particle on their bodies belongs to them. Their bodies and their souls are all part of this universe, because the weak have never been qualified to escape the shackles of reincarnation."

The leader of the Zero Cult shouted excitedly, "My Lord, are you finally going to bring this world a restart and a new life? Thank you for your blessings and destruction. The Zero Cult begs you to grant us glory and make this the starting point of the universe's restart!"
