Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

The story of Frost Lord Sakura has shocked the world; no one ever imagined that the former savior had turned into a demon.

Anger, fear, and worry clouded the sky.

They demanded the return of the Guardian Sword, but found this utterly impossible.

The wielders of the Imperial Decree Blade are capable of destroying an entire city single-handedly; nothing can restrain them.

Meanwhile, sword masters with formidable martial prowess became one of the few remaining means of combating demons.

[At 27 years old, on Izumo Star, more and more people have turned into demons in the past two years.]

[Initially, the World Government will issue orders to you to suppress them.]

But they soon realized it was futile.

[It's not just ordinary citizens who are turning into ghosts; military and government personnel are doing the same.]

The members of the execution force were rapidly turned into demons, quickly leading to collapse and division.

The World Government's rule over Izumo was also rapidly collapsing.

In the end, in this world where you have no one to rely on and is on the verge of collapse, you choose to stay with Raiden Mei and embark on the final path to save the world.

Lin Yuan, with his full head of white hair, put away his imperial edict sword after clearing out the ghosts nearby.

He asked Raiden Mei, who was resting against the wall of the ruins:

"Mei, is there still a signal here? Has the World Government sent any messages?"

"We can't receive anything; the communication network here has completely collapsed."

The last communication was three days ago. The World Government and the capital should have completely fallen.

Raiden Mei's eyes dimmed.

Lin Yuan sat down beside her, and the two looked up to see that the dark sun overhead was emitting a burst of ethereal energy.

Lin Yuan said bitterly, "It's this kind of energy again. It seems that the other areas that haven't fallen yet will fall even faster."

Raiden Mei lowered her head in utter despair: "I thought that after the war to slay the gods ended, Izumo would have a new tomorrow, but why did it turn out like this..."

Lin Yuan lit a campfire and took out some canned food from his personal space to heat it up.

“Yes, why is that?” He handed the heated food to Raiden Mei. “We tried our best, but in the end, Izumo will still be destroyed.”

In the past year, Sakura is no longer the only swordsman who has fallen into demonhood.

Dr. Mei, an elderly member of the Godslayer Squad, also used the Imperial Decree Blade [True] without regard for the cost.

She tried to decipher that void energy.

Unfortunately, nothing was analyzed.

On the contrary, due to the excessive use of the imperial edict sword, he had completely fallen into a demon two months ago.

Raiden Mei and Rinyu personally saw off the best scientist from Izumo Planet as he departed from this world.

"Yuan... I'm so tired." Raiden Mei closed her eyes in pain. "Next up is the sword master of [Lie], isn't it?"

The Blade Master is a hot-tempered man with red hair.

They are now searching for their missing lord.

"The Lord had already called us over three days ago, but unfortunately we were still too late."

He must have turned into a demon, otherwise he would have waited for us.

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, then said, "Sending them away and retrieving and breaking the imperial edict sword is the last thing we can do."

The Imperial Decree Blade is too powerful; it must not fall into the hands of anyone else, especially not into the hands of a demon.

Raiden Mei's eyelids drooped, and the can of food in her hand seemed incredibly heavy: "Former comrades-in-arms are now killing each other."

“It’s not just the Sword Master, the entire Izumo is killing each other.” Lin Yuan hugged her and comforted her, “We can only help them get out of this mess as soon as possible. Eat something first, and then you can rest for a while.”

Raiden Mei looked at Rin Yuan with a complicated expression, burying her head in his chest: "Yuan, can we still save this world?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, and his hand, which had reached for the can, froze in mid-air.

To save the world?

It's a concept that's both familiar and unfamiliar.

They have been working towards this goal since they were fourteen years old.

But now?

Sakura, Rin, Mei, Wen, and many other sword masters are all dead.

Some of them died in the war against eight million gods, while others died by their own hands because they were demonized.

And the number of ordinary people who died was in the hundreds of millions.

The remaining cities in Izumo are now plagued by numerous demons, and have even become veritable "ghost cities."

There is a very simple way to eliminate the harm caused by ghosts.

The plan is to wait until all the Izumo people turn into demons, and then kill them all.

But in doing so, the Izumo civilization was completely destroyed.

He couldn't say that to Raiden Mei right now.

They still hoped that no new ghosts would be created so that the survivors could live on.

As for other ways to save Izumo, he only has a rough idea at the moment.

When facing your partner, fabricating a little hope can at least give them a little more time to persevere.

"There will be a way, Mei." Lin Yuan hugged Raiden Mei. "We will definitely find a way."

Raiden Mei forced a smile; she probably realized that Rinbu was just trying to comfort herself.

But she kissed Lin Yuan on the cheek and said, "Okay, I'll take a nap first."

They are indeed lacking hope right now.

Lin Yuan took out a blanket from his personal space and covered her with it. He then took some measures to conceal and protect her in the surrounding space before they went to sleep together.

Raiden Mei's sleep is very light, or rather, under the interference of nothingness, everyone only dreams of that pitch-black sun.

Whether a person likes it or not, the Great Sun will devour their memories, emotions, self-awareness, and other aspects.

Until it becomes a ghost, until it becomes nothingness.

For Raiden Mei and Rinbuchi, love is one of the few emotions they can still possess.

This helps maintain self-awareness.

This will also slow down the rate at which they turn into ghosts.

Lin Yuan lay down next to Raiden Mei, watching the long and short red demon horns on her head growing at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

He wanted to reach out and gently stroke her, but he was afraid of waking Mei, so he gave up.

Does Izumo really have a future? Even if the city and technology remain, it's just that ghosts have replaced humans.

Can this still be called human civilization?

Lin Yuan felt a strong sense of emptiness and realized that it was nothingness affecting him.

Mei felt tired, and so did he.

Under the shroud of nothingness, Izumo will be completely destroyed within three years unless the survivors can escape the planet.

However, current technological levels and a collapsed industrial base are clearly insufficient to support this plan.

He wasn't very sleepy; instead, he was thinking about these issues.

Why don't we go check out Takamagahara?

Lin Yuan looked up at the star Takamagahara.

Maybe there'll be something useful there.

If any remaining deities are willing to cooperate with them, that would be good.

Although this possibility is infinitely close to zero.

Then let's go take a look after we've retrieved all the imperial edict swords.

As he pondered, Lin Yuan also felt a bit sleepy.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep...

The firelight on the horizon replaced the approaching dawn, and the air became even hotter.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw a man engulfed in flames, wielding the imperial edict sword [Fierce], walking towards the two of them.

He sighed softly and patted Raiden Mei awake: "Mei, Lord Lie is here. We should go and see him off."
