Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 301 Intermission Scientific Management Office III
"Why do you care about this kind of thing? What will come will come eventually, just face it calmly."

But for A's worries, F behaved more comfortably, still with a smile on his face.

A did not refute, just silently, and finally nodded.

"Right."

The long corridor has no end, and there are doors on the left and right, each door is marked with a name, and behind the door is a taboo.

F followed behind A, looking at those doors from time to time, looking at the doors such as [Parallel World Leap], [Three Thousand Ways to Become a God], [God of World Destruction], [Idol Suppressing Prison Power]... ... and so on, the logo is thoughtful.

"However, among so many forbidden technologies and forbidden things, is there no way to defeat that monster?"

F asked.

"Have."

Unexpectedly, A gave a surprising answer.

Opening his eyes, the man with a handsome face stopped, looked at a door beside him, and said.

"There are actually many ways to defeat monsters, and there are even ways to kill monsters. For example, before you came, we reviewed a taboo technique for jailbreaking, which is a complete fantasy creation."

"This C-level technology can theoretically create a vast world, and all thoughts and ideas can be realized. It has the ability to be almost comparable to the creator. In the past, the prototypes used this technology in wars to create A multiverse, an infinite number of universes, including worlds where monsters die, and indeed once monsters are wiped out."

"But soon, within tens of thousands of years, the monster woke up again from its long sleep. This time it was stronger than before, and the majestic monster was furious, swallowing the prototypes together with the created world again. The prototypes They were lucky enough to survive in the end."

"This kind of war has happened countless times, and monsters cannot be measured by common sense. Just like the things behind this door..."

A pointed to the door beside him.

On the door, it says [Abstract Concept - Hero].

"In conceptual things, [Hero] is not a very powerful taboo. In the evaluation, its rating is E, and it is a civilian technology that can be widely used in the past just like time travel."

"When we established the federation, we used this abstract concept extensively to create the federation. Therefore, young people are a group full of heroism, and each of them has the potential to become a hero."

"But it's this not-so-powerful abstraction that guards the prototypes time and time again. It performs better than a lot of advanced skills in the hands of the prototypes, and it strongly supports the crumbling prototypes."

"The monster is unexpectedly vulnerable to the hero. For some reason we don't know, the concept of the hero has great restraint on the monster... as if the hero is the monster's only weakness."

"But even a hero, at most, is struggling to support. Sometimes the prototype is saved from the mouth of the monster, and most of the time it still ends in failure. At most, it can buy some time."

As he spoke, A stared at the door marked with [Hero], as if recalling memories.

For the old people who have the memory of the past, this word also makes them respectful, because this word has saved them from despair time and time again.

With a fearless heart, he has achieved incredible miracles, so he is respected as a "hero" by mortals.

But heroes are perishable.

Unlike eternal monsters, heroes can do the unthinkable for a time, only to die.

"It is possible to defeat monsters once, and it is also possible to kill monsters once, but it is impossible to truly stop monsters..."

In the war after war, the prototypes finally confirmed this matter.

Countless methods have been used, but they are still in despair.

F also stared at the door, silent for a moment.

Although he was born after the end of the war, when the archetypes had found a way to defeat the monster once and for all, it hadn't lived through that era of war.

And at this moment, behind that door is the concretization of the concept of a hero.Although I know the admiration for [Heroes], I have never been so close.

"It's really amazing."

Looking at the door, F praised.

"It's really amazing..."

A nodded.

As he spoke, he pointed forward.

"Go on, there are still many incredible things ahead. You are a member of the elders, and all technologies, things, and information preserved by scientific management... should be open to you."

……

I don't know how long I walked, and I passed through surprising doors one after another on the way, and each door was amazing.

A will introduce and explain the things behind each door.

【The universe in the brain】

This is a man whose brain has been replaced by a universe that, although seemingly microscopic, is actually a real universe.

And in this brain universe, everything a man thinks will become reality, and he can even reverse the boundary between reality and his fantasy, replacing the real world with his fantasy.

Considered a Class-D taboo, it permanently stops the flow of its timeline.

【Reality Penetrator】

A lot of shielding words were deliberately marked in its information, and only a few words were revealed. It seems that this is something related to the "fourth wall"?

The evaluation is the same as D grade.

[Big immeasurable big infinite big tower of eternity]

In the endless tower, each floor has a different world, and each floor of the tower has various strange phenomena.

The evaluation is D-level, but it seems to be unbanned to E-level?
And among them, there is even something that surprised F...

【New Human Federation】

The experimental objects of the scientific management institute, the precautionary measures in the face of crisis...

On that door, the words above were clearly written.

Yes, this new human federation is just an experimental object of the scientific management institute.

Behind this door is a holographic image of the federation, or something that controls the federation. Through this holographic image, the control of the entire real federation can be realized.

This is why in the Federation, there have always been young people mainly trying to oppose the undercurrent of the scientific management institute, but the old people are indifferent.

Because from the very beginning, the entire Federation was absolutely controlled by scientific management.

And on this door, the evaluation is C-level.

Although he is a veteran reserve, it is also the first time that F has truly seen the essence of scientific management.

However, after seeing so many doors, F realized that he did not see any B-level or even A-level objects.

"Class B and Class A."

Faced with F's doubts, A turned around and suddenly smiled inexplicably.

"Actually, even I don't know what B-level and A-level are. Because every time I read it, my memory will be cleared, so I don't remember what it is."

Speaking, he paused, and then said.

"So, I can't explain to you the next road, because I don't even know what it is after that."

"Oh, if this is the case, isn't it equivalent to the fact that we are all seeing these things for the first time?"

F suddenly became interested, touched his chin and said.

It was A who was explaining before, and then he let out a sound of exclamation.

Although they were indeed incredible things, he was still slightly uncomfortable, and wanted to know what A's surprise would look like.

Regarding F's sudden excitement, A seemed to notice something and shook his head.

"Okay then, let's go and see the things that scare us."

Smiling lightly, A and F continued to move forward in this long corridor full of taboo things.

……

The corridor is very long and seems to have no end.

But in some places, there will be some special signs on the floor to remind you which level of taboo area you have entered.

After walking for a long time, the two suddenly saw a long road with no doors on both sides, only a huge letter "B" on the floor.

Ahead is the B-level taboo area.

"Are you ready, F."

A's voice raised slightly, and it seemed that he was not so calm. Regarding the [B-level area], the Science Management Office didn't know much about it.

Because it is considered that just knowing it is a hazard, people who enter the B-level area will be forced to wash their memories.

Even though he has been here before, this is still the "first time" for A.

"Of course, I already want to know what's in the B-level area."

F's smile remains the same.

And when they entered the B-level area, the first door they saw made the two of them couldn't help opening their eyes.

"This is……"

On the door, there is a "fourth wall" written on it.

[Are we illusory?Are we fake?But these are not important anymore, now, we have come to the world of the Creator...]

[Even if we are birds in cages, we live under the same physical constants as the bird owner; even if we are flowers in dreams, we share the same underlying logic with dreamers. 】

【We have already seen you...】

[Class B object...containment status: does not exist]

the fourth wall.

Seniors are no strangers to this concept.

Because the archetypes crossed the fourth wall and escaped the story, thus avoiding the fate of being eaten by monsters.

It's just that the prototypes have also tried to contain the fourth wall?

"Containment doesn't exist? What does that mean?"

F questioned.

He originally thought that in the scientific control center, all the doors must be contained, but it didn't seem to be the case.

A looked at the text, the text left by the prototypes, and thought about it.

"Not all the doors have things behind them. The prototypes found all kinds of things, but some things were not found by the prototypes. It's just that this kind of situation is rare in D and C-level, but... it seems that the B-level area Here, there are many doors behind which there may be nothing."

A lowered his head, as if he had guessed something.

A and F continue to move forward.

In the B-level area, there are many things that are completely beyond the scope of understanding. There is even no name or introduction on the door. There is only one door that exists alone.It's as if the prototypes are keeping the latecomers from knowing these things.

But there are some things that A and F can still understand.

For example, it says on a door, [Dragon Devouring the World].

On the door painted with a picture of ouroboros, there is information about this forbidden thing.

【The monster destined to devour everything will also devour itself, everything is in it...】

[Class B objects...Containment status: everywhere]

Although the words were vague, the two immediately realized that this was the monster that made the prototype and the old people anxious?
"It turns out that monsters are only B-rank in the eyes of the prototypes?"

F looked at that door for a moment, then walked to the next door.

There are also such things as [Creator God], the description left by the prototype is the creator, the source of each world system, who can create the world he wants as he wants.

No matter what kind of world it is, it can be created.

This includes creating worlds with other creators; worlds with things more powerful than the creator; even worlds where the creator dies after creating the world.

God of Creation.

For these creation gods who do whatever they want, the boundaries between life and death, existence, existence, strength and weakness seem to be blurred.

And at the bottom, there is a special row of notes [Monsters have been devouring the world, it seems to have a strong connection with the act of creation itself?Was it also created by a certain creator god?Or……】

It seems that something was written on the back, but it was deliberately erased.

On some doors, a series of question marks were written.

For example, on a door, under a series of question marks, there is an introduction that the prototypes are also puzzled by.

[Nia... Naiyako?Nyarlathotep?God of Thousand Faces?Creator?Cthulhu god?Indescribable?Omnipotent? … dunno, weird stuff, it seems to be everywhere, it has countless incarnations, we don't even know what it is? 】

[It seems to have left the story?But did it really leave?weird stuff.It's like peeping at something in the shadows, this feeling makes us very uncomfortable...]

[You put your hand into a piece of water, the microorganisms in the water have never seen such a huge thing, they can't even see the whole picture of your finger.They regard the middle finger nearest to them as a god, the most mobile index finger as an evil demon, and the other thumb, the ring finger.They believe in the middle finger, and firmly believe that the middle finger will help them fight against the index finger...]

[Latecomers, we don’t know what this suspected Cthulhu god is, and all guesses about it are just blind men and elephants.As mentioned above, maybe... maybe it and the monster are the same thing? 】

In a series of puzzles, only the last small example seems to reveal something.

In this B-level area, such situations became very common.

Numerous containment non-existence, and confused, erased introductions.

If in the previous area, Keguan showed the strength of everything under control, then in the B-level area, what F can feel is powerlessness.

Even if it is as strong as the prototype, it also has the powerlessness of not being able to do it and not knowing it.

Before they knew it, the two had reached the end of the B-level area.

In front of him, there was another long road with no door, only the A-level sign on the ground.

"F, do you still want to move forward?"

A's expression is dignified.
