Chapter 586 The Great Little Garden

Like an "activated" Atlas in a corner of the universe, it rushed directly towards Luke's body, which had expanded into a vast galaxy. The two beings, whose size was immeasurable, collided at this moment, unleashing an unprecedented impact and shock.

There was no sound at the moment of collision, only the collapse of light. The energy shockwave, far exceeding that of a supernova explosion, spread out from the point of impact, turning star systems in its path into dust, and even vaporizing Wang Lang and others, putting them back into the resurrection phase.

After a brief encounter, the battlefield, which had turned into nothingness, immediately became one-sided, a situation that could hardly be called a battle.

In terms of sheer size, Atlas has indeed been significantly upgraded to the same level as Luke, but apart from that, he is nothing.

It's not just about his use of abstract concepts like "authority" and "symbol"; he doesn't even know how to mobilize his own power, acting as recklessly as an infant.

"Vast Galaxy" raised its arm and gently tapped, and "Atlas's" body immediately stopped moving like an insect frozen in amber. With no room to struggle, his enormous body began to be rapidly devoured, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely erased from the universe.

On the contrary, the "vast galaxy," which was already expanding to the size of light-years, expanded rapidly, exceeding two-thirds of its original size, as if it were about to embrace the entire universe when it opened its arms.

Luke devoured "Atlas" and obtained the concepts from it: "infinite expansion," "immortal rebirth," "environmental adaptation," and "the largest life form in the universe" as its core essence.

"The largest life form in the universe"?
Lu Ke revealed a strange look. The name of this concept was so arbitrary that it made one wonder if something had gone wrong. It was as if some transcendent being had randomly picked a few words from countless rules and mixed them together.

"This world is seriously ill."

He had barely uttered a sigh when Atlas's body reappeared from the void. Its already terrifying form doubled in size, even surpassing Luke's current level, and roared as it launched its attack.

Atlas is indeed not good at fighting, but he doesn't need any additional abilities. His immortality and ever-expanding size are enough to crush everything!
This time, Luke finally frowned slightly. He had just analyzed the concept of "Atlas" being "immortal" through his "omniscient" authority, and deliberately used the symbol of "destruction of nature" and the annihilation of all things. "Atlas" was indeed dead and would not be reborn.

But the result was... a "new" "Atlas" appeared in this universe!
"It's useless. 'Atlas' is a cosmic cancer that will never be eradicated. No matter what method you use to kill it, it will be reborn. Every time it dies, it will copy and paste an even bigger 'Atlas'!"

In his hands, Preer, now powerless to resist, spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Because of you, his growth rate has accelerated considerably. He only needs to die seven more times, and his size will exceed the limit of the observable universe. His mere existence will be enough to destroy this universe..."

"Really? Then why don't you guess who has a higher chance of surviving if the world is destroyed?"

Luke chuckled and threw the Prell into the campfire that had been replaced by "Black Flame".

The undead's body was instantly covered by black flames, and its already precarious health was further depleted. It turned into specks of light and dissipated, only to be reborn in the campfire, and then ignited by the black flames again, in an endless cycle.

The "Atlas" in the sky stopped roaring, was brought back under control, and entered the process of solidification, devouring, and rebirth once again.

Luke was not afraid of the threat of the universe's destruction; other sealed entities would be even more afraid. Theoretically, "Atlas" would only need 94 days to grow to the size of a universe-destroying entity. Since it had been sealed intact before, it naturally had proper containment measures.

He shifted some of his attention to the pink door that had been completely opened in the void. The image of this door was extremely familiar to many children, and to former children who had grown into adults.

…………

"This can't go on!"

Wang Lang, who had been resurrected, had a terribly gloomy face. Since Atlas appeared, the scale of the battle had exceeded expectations and even affected this area. In just a few minutes, they had died seven or eight times in a row.

Although the "Undying Worm" in the "Ultimate Inscription" can remain immortal, the pain of death will still be preserved in its entirety.

Chu Liang sighed and glanced at him. "We certainly can't just sit here and wait to die, but do you still want to get involved in a battle of this scale?"

The "Doomsday Horn" has been stolen, all the staff maintaining the seal are dead, the "wanted" warrants used as a deterrent have been deployed, and Manager Prell has gone to draw fire...

Wang Lang's eyes were resolute: "Why not! Go back to Earth, go back to 'Future Technology,' find suitable sealing artifacts to fight the enemy. Isn't 'Future Technology' the strongest sealing artifact organization? Surely we can find suitable sealing artifacts, right?"

Chu Liang: "..."

Clearly, Wang Lang had never heard of "resume optimization." In fact, every large sealing artifact organization claims to be the most powerful and idealistic one.

"Even among large seal organizations, the number of seals that can work against 0-7-3 is pitifully small, and not all seals can play a proper role."

Chu Liang organized his thoughts, "Most importantly, before even arriving in this starry sky, 0-7-3 had already almost completely corrupted 'Future Technology,' bringing nearly all the sealed artifacts under his control. Under these circumstances, going back would be tantamount to suicide..."

"No, not necessarily... We moved very quickly, and 0-7-3 didn't have time to erode all the seals."

Klein gritted his teeth and spoke up. Although he was dissatisfied with Wang Lang, the minor conflicts in the military camp would naturally have to be postponed once they were on the battlefield.

"The fact that sealed objects can withstand 0-7-3 erosion in a short time indicates that they have a high level of information depth and the possibility of intervening in the battle. This already constitutes a screening process. As long as... someone can provide confidential information about the sealed objects, there will be no problem."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Chu Liang, the most senior member of the group, and then followed the gazes of the other two.

Chu Liang's lips twitched twice. "At a time like this, we can't worry about confidentiality agreements, memetic contamination, or the risk of leaking information about sealed objects. But... 'Future Technology,' which is now without staff to maintain it and has been eroded, is bound to experience a chain reaction of containment failures. All kinds of sealed objects will riot. Are you sure you want to go back?"

The "Ultimate Inscription" does indeed possess the power of "immortality," but no one can guarantee that there won't be any situation within the rampaging seal that could suppress "immortality" or even cause a worse outcome.

"I'm sure, because I am 'hope'!"

Wang Lang touched his chest and gave a firm answer, then seemed to have made up his mind.

"And I'm not going back just to search for the sealed artifacts; I plan to spread the 'Old Data' to people all over the world!"

The reason he appeared too weak and failed to play any role was because he had only just received the "Ultimate Inscription," was neither familiar with the power nor had he disseminated the "Old Data" to complete the "Ultimate Inscription."

"No, this is too risky! Once the 'Ultimate Inscription' awakens, the 'Old Data God' will be born from your body and destroy the world..." Chu Liang instinctively tried to stop him.

"No, have you forgotten?"

Wang Lang revealed a confident, even presumptuous, smile, and answered with absolute certainty:
"My soul cannot be corrupted."

…………

Life forms, each with a different shape and art style, and incompatible with the current world, began to pass through the pink door one by one. At the forefront was a small figure made up of pixelated cubes, whose facial features and body shape were blurred, and only the striped shirt covered in blood could be vaguely seen.

The little figure held a bloodstained knife in its hand, wore a heart-shaped pendant around its neck, and had black pixels around its eyes, showing strong aggression. As soon as it appeared, it slashed at Lu Ke with its knife.

0-5-13 "firsk"

Description 1: A child who tripped over vines and fell to the ground on Mount Ebott.

Description 2: He possesses unparalleled determination; with determination, anything is possible!
Description 3: Please be careful not to lead him to slaughter lives or commit sins, as that will awaken another soul within him and destroy the world.

Description 4: "Let's head to the next world, my companion!"

Comment: What you use to nurture your child will determine what your child gives back to you.

Another humanoid derivative that appeared from the "0-5" Great Ones' Garden, the protagonist of "Undertale", possesses the power of "loading saves" and "resetting timelines".

Judging from Frisk's blood-stained "real knife" and clothes, he had clearly been controlled to slaughter enough life forms before being deployed, reaching LV.20 and possessing the power to destroy the underground world with a single blow.

Lu Ke shifted his gaze and casually created hundreds of barriers. Just as he was about to observe the other sealed objects that appeared, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his palm, and a drop of blood spilled from his fingertip.

The defense was broken.

Although it's only a tiny fraction, the original Frisk shouldn't have this power.

A glint of data flashed in Luke's eyes as he realized that a new sealed artifact had joined the battle, its effects being completely opposite to the "Equality Badge" once worn by Anna, the former director of "Future Technology".

The "Equality Badge" elevates the wearer to the same level as the enemy, while the current sealing artifact elevates the wearer to the same level as the target of the battle.

Lu Ke remains a well-rounded, all-around fighter, but in terms of raw stats alone, there isn't a significant gap between him and Lu Ke.

"interesting……"

Lu Ke calmly raised his head and glanced at the starry sky.

There exists a vast galaxy that is consuming "Atlas" for the third time and has expanded to about one-thirty-second of the volume of the universe.

The main body was not affected. This could be because the information depth of the sealed object was insufficient, or it could be because the main body was too large, far exceeding the range of influence of the sealed object.

Frisk continued to attack from all angles, unleashing slashes with blood-red sharpness, but the newly appeared sealing artifacts blocked his attacks.

The second sealed object is smaller in size, with a pure white, flawless carapace for its head and a pair of dark eyes. Its body is composed of an unknown, jet-black substance, which is even smaller than its head. It wears a black cloak and holds a flawless bone nail in its hand.

0-5-99 "Hollow Knight"

Description 1: A void creature born from the abyss.

Description 2: There is no mind capable of thinking, no will capable of yielding, no voice crying out for suffering...

Description 3: One of the very few benevolent derivatives in the "Great One's Garden," powerful, polite, and willing to offer delicate flowers to the employees who care for him.

Review: Not a pure vessel, but a charming little knight.

Compared to Frisk, who immediately began his slaughter upon appearing, the little knight appeared very polite. Although influenced by the "wanted order," he wanted to kill Luke, but seemed to hope for a fair fight, and even obediently bowed before swinging the bone nail.

Lu Ke had no intention of communicating with them. While rapidly analyzing the sealing artifact that was suppressing him, he raised his hand and conjured a greatsword that exuded an aura of destruction, then swung it forward.

The little knight showed no fear. Crystal-like marks appeared beneath his feet as he burst forth with astonishing speed, charging toward Luke. The bone nail in his hand collided with the Greatsword of Destruction, and they were destroyed in the black flames.

Frisk dodged quickly; he possessed the ability to evade and land any attack if controlled properly. But what responded to him were four jet-black slashes, originating from Preel's skill, the "Black Slash," a guaranteed hit that ignored defense.

Even if Luke is pulled to the same panel by the sealed artifact, his authority, symbols, skills, and traits will not disappear, just like how a boss and a grunt are at the same level but have vastly different strengths.

However, the inability to completely crush them ultimately delayed the situation a bit.

A bench and a radiant star appeared in the void; these were the save points for the two main characters.

Felix and the little knight are reborn, and their forms have changed.

Felix's blue striped shirt turned green, and oil-like black substances seeped from all over his body. The shell on the little knight's head cracked, overflowing from the deep "void," and a colossal creature was reviving.

More and more figures emerged from the pink doorway, each with nothing in common, their details vastly different, clearly from different worlds.

There are samurai dressed as warriors, wielding longswords and able to deflect any attack; knights in blue armor, holding shovels; teacups that seem to have been given life, swaying to the rhythm; and incredibly exquisite puppets in the shape of young boys…

The doors didn't stop opening; instead, the number of people pouring out was increasing rapidly, seemingly without end.

Lu Ke calmly watched the increasing number of enemies, but his gaze paused slightly when it fell on a female character with a dim gaze, no life in her eyes, who looked like a puppet.

He had seen this figure in the shared memories of Luke and the others.

She has a similar name to Player, whom he punished by throwing into the black flames; both are "players," only Player is of a different gender.

"I see……"

Lu Ke looked at the densely packed "0-5" derivatives and nodded slightly.

The so-called "Cosmic Wonders Game Company" is actually a "deterrent sealed object" in this world.

"0-5" The Great Hakoba!
