Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 212 "The End of the World"

"you……"

boom!
Before the other party could finish speaking, countless pieces of machinery flew out, with broken alloys and parts shooting out from all directions.

In that very instant.

The opponent completed his full mechanical armor in an instant.

Lu Cang had already completely pierced through his armor.

"I think you're probably not stronger than me."

Lu Cang revealed a slightly arrogant smile.

This is a preview of the future.

Finally, I no longer need to worry about this or that, and I can finally use my strength freely and do whatever I want.

boom!
In a mere instant, Lu Cang had already caught it with one hand!

It was as if it had been holding Mokeri in its grasp, keeping Teng Gai suspended in mid-air.

"Who are you."

"Don't ask such pointless questions, King of Tenge."

Teng Gai: "Why do you need to know about this...?"

"why?"

"Haha, good question!"

"I've been waiting for you to ask me that question!"

"The reason for doing this is, of course,...it was on the way."

Lu Cang's tone was excited and pleasant: "I thought I'd stop by Tengge for a bit of tourism and see your local customs and culture. I also remembered that I had something to take care of, so I came to handle it."

"After all, think about it, playing games can't just be about strolling around, right? You need at least a main quest."

Lu Cang seemed to be talking nonsense.

When Teng Gai heard his answer, he felt completely baffled... What on earth was this guy talking about?
Lu Cang, however, was filled with joy.

In the context of future rehearsals, I was finally able to say these things.

You can also chat freely with your enemies without fear of being killed in return. You can share your thoughts and plans with your enemies without fear of retaliation.

A feeling of exhilaration flowed through Lu Cang's heart.

After venting his frustrations, Lu Cang said in a relaxed tone, "Go ahead and tell me everything you know about the apocalypse."

"I can still spare your life."

Teng Gai was held in mid-air, his neck stiff, and said, "You think I really believe you'll let me go!"

Lu Cang smiled easily: "If you don't believe me, I can swear a solemn oath that if you die within seven days after telling me these secrets, I will die on the spot 24 hours after your death. I can make a life-and-death pact with you. What do you say?"

"you……"

The king was speechless with surprise at Lu Cang's promise.

At this moment, Lu Cang holds the absolute advantage. He can control my life at any time, and even if he wants to extract information from me, he can use other methods to get it out of me.

It's not worth making such a vicious oath.

He could even use this oath against himself.

If he commits suicide within 7 days of revealing this secret, he will die with him.

"What a lunatic."

The king pressed Lu Cang's hand: "Ahem...Alright."

"If you have this belief... I can tell you!"

"Put me down first!"

Lu Cang released his grip, and the king landed on the ground.

He was a man with extremely deep-set features, his face sculpted as if by magic. He reached up and straightened his neck.

The mechanic's physical body is actually not very weak. Because of the need to create and control machines, their physical body is even stronger than that of a magician.

However, compared to Lu Cang's strength, her not-so-weak physique could only be described as miserable.

"First, let's draw up a contract!"

The king extended his hand toward Lu Cang, making a gesture of obstruction.

"no problem."

Lu Cang clenched his fist forward, and a contract was formed.

At the same time, the liquid beneath their feet flowed, gradually forming a ritual array used to forge a life-and-death pact.

The handwriting on the contract paper was formed naturally by the heat.

"All right……"

The king grabbed the contract and examined it word by word.

However, not a single flaw was observed...

Just as Lu Cang said, if he dies within seven days, Lu Cang will also die.

No matter how I die...

This man must be really crazy.

But it's also possible that this guy is a spy sent by some force, and he has to complete this mission, so he's resorting to any means necessary.

But are there really such powerful assassins?
So powerful that even I, a level 6 mechanic, couldn't withstand it in the slightest.

The opponent is probably at least level 7 in strength.

"Alright, I'll enter into a contract with you."

As the light shone, the contract paper turned into blood-red ash under the influence of the ritual, merging into the bodies of the two individuals. After the ritual was completed, the contract was also formed within their bodies.

"It's less about the end times we predicted."

"It's more accurate to say that this place was destined for destruction."

Lu Cang's voice was cold: "Destined for destruction? How do you know that?"

"Hehe, this brings us to the mechanic who visited our country more than a hundred years ago."

"That level 7 mechanic?" Lu Cang asked in return.

“That’s right, it’s Lord Lien.”

"He told me about an impending destruction, not so much the destruction of Loren... but the destruction of the entire Secret Sea."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cang was taken aback: "The entire...Secret Sea?"

Isn't this range a bit too broad?
At first, it was thought that only Loren was affected by the disaster, but it turned out that the entire Secret Sand Islands were about to be affected.

Following this prophecy, the investigation led them all the way to Tengger.

You're telling me the entire Secret Sea is going to be destroyed?

Damn, should I investigate further and they'll tell me the whole world is going to be destroyed?
Is this how you play?
"Haha, I didn't believe it at first either."

"Until he handed me the secret scroll of the doomsday prophet, and the prophecy about the end times."

"I then realized that everything he said was true."

"The Book of Doomsday foretold the complete destruction of the Secret Sea on this day, and they carried it out, thus accelerating this process."

He referred to "The End of the World" not as the normal pronunciation of "The End of the World," but as a "church name."

In this world, the church is referred to by the exact same words.

They are also pronounced differently.

"What you perceive as Loren is merely a small part of countless destructions!"

It's true what they say, pulling up a radish brings out a lot of mud...

"Only by joining them can we escape destruction in this apocalypse."

"Only then can you gain their protection!"

"Do you think we hastened the destruction of Loren? We were just trying to protect ourselves!"

Lu Cang frowned: "How was this apocalypse achieved?"

"Do you think I would know?"

"By the way... where's Mokeri? Now that you know about this, you must have met Mokeri, right?"

Lu Cang said calmly, "Kill him."

"kill……"

"killed?"

How could you kill him!

"Do you know how many innocent people will die because of this?!"

"Only if he lives can we be the token we entrusted to 'Doomsday'! Only if he joins 'Doomsday' can we be protected!"

"If you kill him, what will become of this country?"

Lu Cang: "Heh, who cares about you guys?"

"A madman," Tenggai realized, "the person in front of me is incomprehensible to communicate with using normal thinking."

"Such massive destruction, can it really happen in this world?" Lu Cang scoffed.

"Is there no force capable of stopping this disaster?"

However, upon hearing Lu Cang's question, he might have assumed that since he had signed the contract, his life was no longer in danger.

Teng Gai then sneered, "Heh... I originally thought you were some old monster in disguise, but now it seems you really are just a child."

“This level of apocalypse has happened more than once in the world.”

"The End of the World has already brought about four such disasters."

"The Elemental Sea, the Boundary Mountain, the Sky Continent, and the Ideal Country that originally existed in the world have all been destroyed."

"Do you really think that the Secret Sea is absolutely not included in this category?"

"Or rather..."

"No one has ever been able to stop 'The End of the World'. Once the end of the world is fully predicted by 'The End of the World', it will eventually come."

"The Secret Sea is doomed to destruction."

"Because that was the prophecy of a Level 3 doomsday prophet!"

"That is an existence comparable to a true god!"

Suppressing his shock at receiving the news, Lu Cang continued in a calm and playful tone, asking, "I'm curious, now that you know there's no way out, what do you plan to do?"

"You plan to die along with your people?"

Tenggai paused, then gritted his teeth: "I will... leave this country."

"Is there enough time?" Lu Cang asked.

"Seven days is definitely not enough time to leave the Secret Sea... not to mention the aftermath of this destruction, even the Turbid Sea and Boundless Mountain will be affected."

"I will escape using random teleportation..."

"Before I leave this country, I will also make the news of the impending destruction of the Secret Sea public."

"As for how many people can leave, that depends on their own fate."

It's definitely impossible to complete the journey.

Because there are only so many mages who can learn the random teleportation spell, the number of random teleportation scrolls is limited, and the magic power of mages is also limited.

Even if it's from morning till night, people are being sent out non-stop.

It probably won't spread to many people.

If what the king said is true, then it is indeed all over.

"If what you want to know is about the end of the world, that's all I can tell you."

"Can I leave now?"

Lu Cang refused without hesitation: "No."

Teng Gai's voice turned cold: "Do you intend to go back on your word?"

Swah——

Suddenly, the two people's positions changed, and they instantly appeared in the black server room.

Lu Cang said calmly, "Unlock this."

"Then you can go."

Teng Gai looked at the computer room in front of him.

Shocked in my heart.

Why did he bring me here? How did we get here?

The computer room is protected by restrictions. Even spells like Teleport can only teleport you to areas your senses can reach, and even low-level Teleport spells can only teleport you to areas within sight. This is its existence.

What is sacred?
"What do you want to unlock this for? This is just data stored in our country... There's nothing you're looking for."

What he meant by wanting was information about the end of the world.

Lu Cang's tone was indifferent, tinged with sarcasm and mockery: "What's the point of asking so many questions? Anyway, this country is going to be destroyed, and you'll be running away with your tail between your legs as a sinner for all time. Do you have some secret you're trying to hide?"

The king's face darkened.

"This is the last thing I need you to do. Once the contract is completed, it's done," Lu Cang said coldly.

The king remained silent.

Indeed, this country has no real secrets left.

He will leave, and everything will be buried.

What difference would it make if one more person knew these secrets...?

The king touched the white panel and input the corresponding signal.

hum-

All that could be seen was a white light shining throughout the entire server room.

"Put your hand on this white panel... and you can operate it," the king said.

Lu Cang: "Mm."

puff--

The king had barely finished speaking when he saw his body suddenly shudder!
Looking down, I suddenly realized that where my heart used to be had become a hollow.

And Lu Cang before us...

She was holding his heart with one hand.

"Mechanical hearts... Will all mechanics eventually become mechanized?"

"you……"

"Why……"

"Clearly, you're going to die too? This is... insane."

"Oh... I just really think it would feel good to kill you~"

Lu Cang's tone was full of pleasure, as if he had never considered the consequences of his actions.

"If I die, I die. I've never valued my life."

Crazy...crazy person.

Why did I encounter such a madman?
If it had been someone I could have had a normal conversation with, I... wouldn't have lost my life at all.

The king's vision blurred, and he died.

Lu Cang touched the light panel with one hand, and instantly, he received countless pieces of information.

Various types of mechanical products...

Various robot models...

The manufacturing processes and materials required for a large number of mechanical products...

A list of all citizens of the Kingdom of Tenge.

Indeed, everything, big or small, is logged into the server. Isn't this just like the database from my previous life? How convenient!

However, there is surprisingly no record of the Forgotten Moon.

The power to forget.

Not just physical paper and ink, but even words carved into the ground.

Even the data of such technological creations cannot be recorded?

It's truly amazing; the more you experience this world, the more unbelievable and bizarre it seems.

I did gain quite a bit of knowledge.

However, this is all knowledge for mechanics, and not very useful to me...

It's still early.

Only an hour has passed so far.

There are 23 hours left.

After Lu Cang entered the rehearsal, the first thing he did was to finish the main storyline.

After completing the main quest, you'll feel a sense of relief when you try other side quests.

Otherwise, I'm still a little worried that the main storyline will take too long, and I won't be able to finish it in 24 hours, thus wasting an opportunity.

But it seems my efficiency was still too high.

With "God-level Hidden Origin", there's no need to go to great lengths to find clues; with "God-level Complete Control of Restrictions", there's no need to rack your brains trying to break through restrictions.

It possesses "Tier 5 Root Magic - Spatial Teleportation".

It can freely enter and exit all kinds of spaces, treating doors and walls as nothing.

I can't help but sigh.

Hunmu, your Root Magic is really useful.

You must live well... and eventually comprehend higher-level spatial origin magic.

Since he could simply copy someone else's homework, Lu Cang really didn't want to waste any more time on this.

After all, there are just too many things to do. Just comprehending his own root magic is enough to make his scalp tingle. How could he have time to think about other root magics?

If all you need to do is practice magic, then that's fine.

But I still need to hone my combat skills and unravel the hidden mysteries of the world.

The further you go, the more time you need to spend on each thing.

That kind of unimportant root magic takes up a lot of my time, so I'll postpone it for now.

Lu Cang's perception expanded, covering a radius of 600 kilometers, encompassing a significant portion of the capital of the Tengge Kingdom.

They probably don't even know that their king is dead.

"That's fine..."

"This Soul Refining Ritual is too evil; I haven't had the chance to use it yet."

"Also, this method of skinning and blood sacrifice... Although I am not a skin taker, I should be able to use it as well."

"I haven't used the ritual to descend into this evil lair since I obtained it, but let's give it a try anyway."

"Sigh, I'm just too kind."

In fact, many evil rituals are very useful and have very significant effects.

Unfortunately, I still have a conscience and humanity.

These useful rituals were never used.

……

March 2nd - 23:55.

Lu Cang opened his eyes and looked at the pocket watch again.

Sure enough, not even a second had passed.

Although I experienced a long time during the rehearsal, in terms of the actual time, it was just a matter of closing my eyes and then opening them again.

In the blink of an eye, an infinite future unfolds.

Unfortunately, a level 1 prophet can only perform two rehearsals a day.

Once you reach level 2 Prophet, you can perform four rehearsals a day.

Two times is indeed not enough; the Prophet's level needs to be further improved.

However, for a prophet to level up, they need to change their fate.

Only one day has passed.

"A changed fate" refers to the actual events that have occurred. It is merely an attempt to make a change, but if the predicted day has not yet arrived, it does not equate to a real change.

Only when that day comes.

Practice the principle of prophecy based on the difference between what is predicted and what actually happens.

In other words, the advancement of a prophet... takes a long time.

Unfortunately, Tengge didn't have much practical knowledge. Lu Cang roughly memorized some information science, energy science, and mechanical dynamics.

Let the second brain digest it slowly.

The people of Tenge met a truly tragic end.

Lu Cang had tried the "Ritual of Descent from the Nest of Evil," which could summon the total number of monsters from about ten different nests to descend upon the world. This summoning method ensured that these monsters would not attack the summoner.

However, all other creatures besides the summoner, as well as buildings, will be subjected to their intense destruction and attacks.

The secret method of peeling.

Even though one doesn't have the profession of skin-stealer, this ritual allows one to temporarily don a human's skin.

In addition to gaining his appearance, you also gain a weakened version of his abilities.

It can't last long, and once you put on this skin, you can't use your original abilities anymore.

It's only useful in specific situations.

It might be useful when you're impersonating someone else.

The skinners' disguises are extremely difficult to discern; once they put on the skin, they almost completely transform into that person.

This is the nature of their profession.

It would be difficult to identify them if it weren't known beforehand who the skin snatchers were.

The most likely feature would be just an inconspicuous scar, which could be covered up or concealed with makeup.

Lu Cang reflected on his actions just now.

It was indeed a massacre.

"I still retain compassion, kindness, and humanity..."

"My nature will not be altered by what I do in the virtual world."

"I feel remorse when I kill innocent people during simulations... which is enough to prove my true nature."

Lu Cang only reflected briefly before returning his focus.

To prevent myself from becoming confused between reality and illusion due to excessive simulation, and to prevent myself from becoming numb and indifferent due to countless killings in the rehearsal.

Having strong physical strength is important, but mental fortitude is equally important.

Otherwise, if you encounter a psychological attack one day, someone might take advantage of your vulnerability.

Since there are so many strange and wonderful things in this world, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be some trials that cause inner demons. It's fine to do whatever you want during the rehearsal.

Back in the real world, Lu Cang's mindset returned to a state of caution.

The entire Secret Sea will be destroyed, and I don't know if Iz and the others have the ability to stop it...

It seems unlikely that it will happen.

No matter how strong Izzy and his friends are, they are not lawless beings in this world.

The complete destruction of the entire Secret Sea was prophesied by a Level 3 Doomsday Prophet. If Tenggai's claim of being comparable to a god is true, then the other party truly is a complete god-level being...

Ugh.

But at least knowing this situation in advance allows us to make some preparations.

Since the entire Secret Sea is about to be destroyed.

It would be a shame not to take away the heritage of these several continents in the Secret Sand Islands.

Let's discuss what to do first.

While it may not be able to completely change the impending destruction, keeping familiar friends alive should not be a problem.

There are 28 days left.

Think carefully about the pros and cons before making a decision.

If you can at least teleport randomly, it'll be much harder to die...

The question is, what impact will this have on future development, what benefits will it bring, and what drawbacks will it cause?

Having cracked so many astonishing secrets, he has always been practicing the principles of a decryption scholar.

Lu Cang felt his progress in decryption scholar points was soaring.

The decryption that takes place during future rehearsals should also be added to the progress bar of the decryption scholars, right?
Actually, it's not impossible to save enough people, if possible... Lu Cang looked at the ground.

"Sigh, isn't that being a bit too compassionate?"
