In Ark Simulator, why do I always get a tough start?

Chapter 158 Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Horsepower, Breaking Through the Star Realm! The Lumberjack's Vigilance?
This battle, from the moment it began, will never cease until a decisive battle is fought to the death.

This battle raged from day to night, from warm spring to cold winter, yet the outcome remained undecided!

Day and night alternate hundreds of times; wherever you battle with "Year," lightning flashes, thunder roars, and dark clouds loom.

Not only the climate and environment, but even Terra's magnetic field has been disrupted by your battle.

Just as the people of the previous civilization began searching for the reason why Terra's environment had suddenly become so harsh, they received a message from the mainland.

Only then did they realize.

This bizarre environment was actually caused by the aftershocks of their seemingly unrealistic junior's battle with the giant beast!

When the truth was revealed, everyone was stunned.

[That junior student who researched "magnetic field rotation" and whose results demonstrated power based on technology from three hundred years ago, has somehow acquired such earth-shattering strength in just eleven years?]

Judging from the aftershocks of this junior's battle with the behemoth... he already possesses terrifying power capable of ruling a planet and arbitrarily altering its magnetic field!

[But even for their civilization, such a level of technology would require the construction of numerous facilities after conquest to achieve!]

And he did it all by himself?

[And it's not through technology, but pure, overwhelming power?]

【impossible! 】

[Absolutely impossible!]

If such a powerful being truly existed in the world, then he wouldn't be human, but a "god"!

[This even includes Precyth, who has consistently supported your magnetic field rotation plan.]

She never imagined that you would undergo such a tremendous transformation in just eleven years.

Even after your proposal was rejected by everyone, you still chose to use the true facts to prove yourself to everyone.

Your determination and the influence of your inner energy can contribute to the continuation of civilization.

[When the prophet urgently asked Lu why, even though she, on behalf of the team, advised him to abandon the research on magnetic field rotation, he still chose to stubbornly persist with this project that everyone else had given up on.]

However, Lu's response to this was quite simple.

"First of all, senior, you and your team were only providing suggestions, not strictly forbidding us from continuing our research on magnetic field rotation."

"Secondly, starting from the day after your suggestion was issued, Lan Meng indeed stopped conducting research on magnetic field rotation."

"The force of the rotating magnetic field has become a part of his body."

"His current cultivation stems from his own desire to become stronger."

"I have no reason to stop a warrior who is doing everything he can to save civilization."

Lu's words left the prophet and the researchers utterly speechless, with no room for rebuttal.

After all, what Lu said was true.

Regardless of whether they oppose your project, there is no doubt that you have all gathered here for the continuation of civilization, and each of you is doing your own way to save it.

They can only question your ability, never your determination.

[And now, the "Year," which has been dormant because of its technology that fears their potential to destroy planets, but which is theoretically extremely troublesome even for them to deal with, is locked in a fierce battle with you, a mere mortal, to this day, with neither side gaining the upper hand.]

They had to admit, you opened their eyes.

[Single-handedly, in eleven years, he caught up with the development of a civilization three hundred years prior.]

If this isn't genius, then who is?

However, your companions from your previous civilization were unable to intervene as you continued your battle against "age."

Although they had discussed using technological means to help you capture "Sui," Lu refused, citing that "Qi does not allow anyone to interfere with his cultivation."

[And for Terra, whose environment has become incredibly harsh due to the great war, the people of the previous civilization had no choice but to activate your magnetic field reactor, putting it to use for the first time in the proper way of stabilizing the magnetic field.]

This brutal and seemingly endless war finally came to an end a year later.

"Boom!"

[Amidst the dark clouds, after a year-long bloody battle, you and "Year" have finally revealed your true forms!]

Your clothes were almost completely torn to shreds, leaving you only in a vest and trousers, and your body was covered in wounds.

Looking at the "age" metric, the situation is also not optimistic!

Originally the strongest behemoth on Terra, "Sui" looked down on all others, regarding all his fellow behemoths as slaves.

However, this time, it was defeated by what it called a mortal.

After a year of fierce fighting with you, even a being as powerful as "Sui" is now covered in wounds, its entire body bearing the marks of its dragon scales being forcibly torn off, pierced, and severed.

The dragon's tail, which could have easily shattered mountains and leveled cities with a casual flick, was nearly severed, revealing golden dragon bones beneath the flesh.

Even one of "Sui's" eyes had gone blind at some point.

But even with only one eye remaining, "Sui" still glares at you with furious rage, unleashing deafening roars!

"Roar--!!"

"Damn mortals! You actually managed to drive me to the brink of despair! You're something else, mortals!"

After a year of fierce fighting, you've pushed "age" to the brink of despair.

[“Year” has no choice but to mobilize all its strength, prepared to fight you to the death, to deliver this final blow!]

"But—that's the end of it!"

"Next comes my final blow! If you're truly capable, then show me! Sea Tiger!!"

[The year is already prepared for mutual destruction, are you?]

After a year of fierce battles against "Year," growing stronger with each encounter and rising stronger against the strongest, you have raised your power to a level of 240,000 horsepower!

Now, with the blessing of your "Perfect State," the power of each of your attacks is equivalent to your limit!

You have fought against "years" until you are covered in wounds, yet you still cannot harm its root cause.

[You understand, 240,000 units of power are still not enough to kill "Sui"!]

You need even greater power! A more dominant punch!

"Hahahaha!"

[As you watch as the "Year" opens its gaping maw, beginning to drain its last strength, unleashing an unprecedented dragon roar to attack you.]

Knowing you have no way to avoid it, you are not afraid at all; instead, you laugh wildly and roar:

"Good! That's more like it! That's how it should be!"

"Then let's see who lives and who dies! (Years old!)"

"The magnetic field is rotating—"

Once again, you raise your fist, unleashing all the magnetic energy within you, concentrating it into your fist!

Two hundred and forty thousand horses? Not enough!

But is it really impossible to squeeze out even a single drop more?!

[Gazing at the dragon roar that was about to erupt from the condensed form of "Year," you roared and concentrated all the power you could control!]

"I command you—break through to a higher level!!"

"Roar--!!"

[The dragon's roar is coming.]

[A destructive dragon's roar, imbued with all the power and remaining strength of "Sui," enough to annihilate a powerful nation and level half the land, is about to strike you!]

[Your eyes are wide open, your gaze fixed on the approaching dragon's roar, your heart pounding wildly, screaming alarm bells!]

【will die. 】

If you don't take this hit, you will definitely die!

However, as death approaches, your pupils dilate, and your thoughts become momentarily hazy.

[And in the fleeting, slideshow-like images that flash before your eyes, the image finally settles on a familiar, gentle face.]

"You must come back to see me alive, Qi." "—Damn it! Magnetic field activated! 250,000 horsepower!!"

The instant those words surfaced in your mind, you roared out a heart-wrenching, resentful scream!

[The crimson battle markings once again shone with an unprecedented luster! Even your skin began to flush red!]

Finally, in that fraction of a second, you unleashed a punch that surpassed your limits!

[Two hundred and fifty thousand horsepower!]

"Sea Tiger—"

"Explosive! Bursting! Fist!"

"Hmm——!!"

[The instant the fist clashed with the dragon's roar, the magnetic field power erupting from your body transformed into a terrifying, tangible white light, hurtling towards space!]

On the observation instruments of the pre-civilization, everyone made a horrifying discovery.

This magnetic field not only breached the isolation layer you erected for Terra to prevent lumberjacks from observing, but it even reached distant galaxies!

[This terrifying magnetic field force only dissipated after shattering a planet!]

"How can this be?!"

Witnessing this scene that was completely beyond comprehension, even the prophet exclaimed in disbelief.

[A single blow that destroys a star?! How is that possible?]

If the aftershock of your attack is enough to destroy a planet, then doesn't that mean the power of your punch could absolutely destroy Terra?

Why wasn't Terra beneath their feet blown up?

In reality, it's not surprising that the prophet and others misunderstood.

[Because the 250,000 horsepower of power you unleashed in that instant has declared that you have reached a level of mastery over magnetic fields—the "Star-Breaking Realm."]

Almost every person with a strong magnetic field has a destiny star that symbolizes them.

[The natal star can also be considered a type of destiny.]

When a strong magnetic field expert breaks through the 250,000 horsepower limit, he reaches the "Star-Breaking Realm," achieving a true defying fate!

From this day forward, the fate of those with strong magnetic fields will be written by themselves, without being bound by any predetermined destiny.

Therefore, the moment you unleash twenty-five units of power, your destiny star shatters.

However, all of this is an idealistic viewpoint. To our materialistic, pre-civilizational friends, you have undoubtedly delivered a devastating blow that could destroy a planet!

However, with the power of 250,000 horsepower, it's still virtually impossible to destroy a star with a single punch.

But there is no doubt about it.

[Two hundred and fifty thousand horses versus two hundred and forty thousand horses—though the difference is only ten thousand horses in power, it's a world of difference!]

Those who truly break through fate possess a single strike with limitless potential, far surpassing anything seen in the past!

"boom!"

When you unleash a punch with the force of 250,000 horsepower, a flash of white light first appears, followed by a terrifying dragon roar and the power of your punch, devouring all living things within a thousand miles!

[In fact, if your complete realm weren't so high, the power you and "Year" unleashed would have been enough to split the continent of Terra!]

However, amidst the roar that seemed to engulf everything, several small explosions erupted continuously within "Sui's" body!

This is the power of your Sea Tiger Explosive Fist.

"Roar!"

"No—how could this be?! How could this be!"

The six bursts of "hidden energy" within Sui's body completely robbed the weakened Sui of its power to resist, robbing it of its last chance of life!

Feeling his life rapidly slipping away, Sui roared and howled in despair, yet he was powerless to stop his own power from fading with his life.

In the final moments of his life, time, like all the giant beasts you had defeated, hurled a curse upon you.

"I—I curse you! Sea Tiger!!"

"I curse you to never love again! I curse you to die alone forever! Only strength is usable!"

"Sea Tiger—!!"

"boom!"

Finally, with a deafening explosion that shook the very earth, Sui's massive body shattered completely, and his twelve powers dissipated into fragments of consciousness, scattering across the world.

The blood that flowed with the passing years transformed into rivers, the scattered flesh into mountains and fields, and even the final remains nourished the earth, bringing forth lush green grass and the revival of all things.

He died at the age of 18.

The most powerful beast on this planet died at your hands.

However, when the smoke and dust cleared, the people of the pre-civilization, who had not yet had time to celebrate your feat, did not find you in the center of the battlefield.

It's as if you vanished into thin air along with that dragon's roar of that year.

No matter how hard the people of the pre-civilization searched, they could not detect a single sign of life.

After a week of aimless searching, unable to find any trace of you, the people of the former civilization were forced to declare you dead.

Everyone acknowledges your concept of "magnetic field rotation" and considers it a crucial project capable of saving the previous civilization.

At this point, the Terran researchers, led by Precys, began announcing the success of the "magnetic field rotation" to all the remaining planets of the former civilization.

Based on the information you left behind, they began disseminating the cultivation process of magnetic field rotation to various planets, attempting to find suitable candidates among the remaining inhabitants to cultivate magnetic field power.

[But you wouldn't know unless you asked, and what you found out was quite surprising.]

In just a few years, thousands of individuals from various planets of the previous civilization were identified as candidates capable of cultivating magnetic field rotation. They will be the first to undergo magnetic field rotation training as part of the "Martial God" project.

Everyone in the pre-civilization began to firmly believe that the rotation of the magnetic field could truly save their civilization.

[The entire civilization mourned your sacrifice, and a colossal statue was erected in Terra to commemorate your achievements and contributions.]

However, just as everyone was lamenting the passing of yet another genius...

[Lu, surprisingly, was not saddened by your "death."]

Because this girl firmly believes that you are definitely not dead.

[Because you promised her you would come back alive to see her.]

She believes that you are currently hiding somewhere, peacefully healing your wounds.

She firmly believes that you would never leave her alone, living a lonely life in this world.

She will continue to wait.

[Until you come to see her.]

However, just as the "magnetic field rotation" project was flourishing among the pre-civilizations of various star systems, and as the first batch of martial gods were undergoing brutal training and development...

[In a corner unseen by everyone else, the "lumberjack's" gaze was forced to turn to this corner of the universe because of your star-shattering strike!]

Because they sensed a "threat"!

[A truly terrifying force that could threaten their civilization!]

They would never allow this terrifying force, capable of destroying them, to continue existing in this universe.

One day, while everyone in the previous civilization was methodically carrying out their respective plans to save the world, a long-absent level one alarm shattered their peace!

Because everyone knows what a Level 1 alert means in their world!

"All compatriots, I repeat, all compatriots, please make full preparations!"

The terrified alarm of the disaster reporter echoed clearly across several galaxies and hundreds of planets.

[It tells a message that sends shivers down the spines of everyone in the previous civilization.]

"They're coming!"

"The lumberjacks are here!"
