I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

However, he has already figured out quite a few things.

He time-traveled, or rather, he time-traveled through a reincarnation of unknown origin!

Moreover, just by listening to the way those two men treated him as an experimental subject, you could tell that his situation was extremely bad!

However, Duanmu Lian, who had long been resistant to misfortune and bad situations, did not have any negative emotions.

I simply accepted this absurd fact with a calm heart.

.............

After a period of physical development, or rather, artificial ripening.

After Duanmu Lian stepped out of the petri dish, he understood what had happened to him.

The first point.

He crossed.

Her soul was reincarnated into the body of a male experimental subject who bore a striking resemblance to her.

The specific principles, causes, and so on are completely unclear.

Secondly, if one had an unfortunate life in their previous life, this life will also have an unfortunate beginning and an unfortunate development.

Since stepping out of the petri dish, Duanmu Lian has been subjected to a cruel life of torture and experimentation by the man in the white coat and glasses, or rather, the guy named Ayase Kozo, who treats her as an experimental subject.

Having long been familiar with and accustomed to pain, Duanmu Lian numbed and shut down her spirit.

While enduring a life of torture-like experimentation, he tried his best to think calmly and clearly.

Point three.

He figured out exactly what terrible world he had transmigrated to.

Ayase Takazo called him Fujii Ren, or Experiment Subject E-413.

Later, the other party even mentioned words like Zarathustra in front of him.

Based on the information she had gathered, Duanmu Lian knew that she had traveled to a world called Dies irae (Day of Divine Wrath).

In her past life, Duanmu Lian had watched this anime, which didn't have a very high rating.

I was also drawn to the word "premonition" in the work, so I went on to learn more about the game and its various settings.

Because Duanmu Lian could also sense the presence of the past, his feelings after seeing this work were quite complex.

I've often wondered if the world I live in is also a world that keeps restarting.

After all, Duanmu Lian could really feel the so-called 'presence'!

And it's so similar to the sense of knowing that's already known in this work!

Duanmu Lian never expected that she would be transported to this terrible world after her death.

As for how bad it is?

To put it simply, it's not much worse than the Warhammer universe, but it's not much better either!

It's important to know that the world and setting of The Day of Wrath of the Gods are extremely vast.

And more importantly, this incredibly messed-up world is even more damn awesome than high-powered anime like Dragon Ball and Gurren Lagann!

"Cough cough......"

Recalling this, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but cough a few times. After coughing up a little blood-stained unknown liquid, he lay on the bed and looked at the needle marks on his arm with a helpless yet calm gaze.

His situation is very bad, extremely bad.

If one wants to rebel against the status quo, dealing with Ayase Kozo is not difficult; the key is dealing with that German man known as 'Red Spider'.

The opponent possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, capable of single-handedly annihilating an entire army.

Given Duanmu Lian's current state, there is absolutely no way she could resist the other party.

Moreover, this guy called Red Spider is at the level of 'minor' or 'cannon fodder' in the overall level of this world.

But even the lowest level of nobodies is an unattainable abyss for Duanmu Lian.

"This is truly unpleasant..."

Duanmu Lian muttered angrily to herself, then closed her eyes, slowed her breathing, and tried to keep her body in a low-energy state.

After all, just as those two guys had said, his body had significant flaws.

Although his physical condition is at the level of a normal child, the speed at which his cells weaken and die indicates that he will not live long!

However, Duanmu Lian was not angry because of this.

Instead, I'm angry at this messed-up world!

The anger and murderous intent in his heart made him want to destroy everything.

Continuing with the previous intelligence analysis and organization.

The major events that occur within this worldview can be primarily summarized as the pantheon of gods.

It is a general term that depicts the stories of all living beings in this world, and their struggles for the throne.

The strongest human becomes a god, using his ideals and desires to create a new universe.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, and only one god is needed to rule the world.

When a newly born god desires to become the ruler of all things, he must defeat the existing god who rules the world and seize the throne.

Therefore, whenever a new domineering god is created, the existing domineering god and the new domineering god will repeatedly fight each other for hegemony, and the loser will be eliminated... This is the drama of the alternation of gods.

This struggle has nothing to do with the will of the two overlords; as long as there are multiple overlords, they will be forced to fight each other.

Hmm... This is the beginning of a drama of divine alternation, in which people dissatisfied with this world overthrow the existing gods and become new ones.

Now, the drama of the succession of gods has been played out and has turned to the fourth god and the fourth heaven universe.

The world today can also be called the Fourth Divine Age.

The Lord of the Throne, who controls the divine throne, is a domineering god with many names, whose divine name is Mercury Serpent.

Each generation of gods has a different style of governance.

The world governed by this mercury serpent is called the Fourth Heaven - Eternal Return!

This is also the era of divine rule in which Duanmu Lian currently lives.

As for the style of this era and this universe, it is also very peculiar and cruel.

Under the principle of eternal recurrence, every living being in the world returns to the mother's womb after death, forever repeating their unique life.

To put it more precisely, a person's life cycle from birth to death forms a circle.

The beginning is the end!

The dead can travel through time back to the past, and their souls return to the womb that nurtured them to be reborn.

Then continue to repeat the life and destiny that is unique to you.

Birth and death are constant, and everyone seems to be immortal.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, the concepts of life and death are also intertwined.

In such a world, everyone is a slave to fate.

Because in the eternal cycle of the universe, those who live happy and fulfilling lives will always be happy, no matter how many times it happens.

But for someone like Duanmu Lian, whose life is filled with misfortune and suffering, it is an endless cycle of life called misfortune.

For the unfortunate, it is nothing short of an endless hell.

Therefore, this rule of governance is also known as "prison" or "detention center".

This is what angers Duanmu Lian: her life, both past and present, has been that of a loser.

Moreover, after crossing over to this world, it was made clear that he would continue to be unlucky forever.

As for why?

Because Duanmu Lian's current role after transmigrating is an absolute tragedy!

"Fujii...Ren? Ha..."

Thinking of the name that Ayase Kozo called him, the same name as Ren, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but curl a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth.

Why his story is a tragedy depends on the so-called 'plot' of this era.

The current ruler of the fourth throne, Mercury Serpent, is tired of ruling the world and is considering stepping down and handing over the reins to a more capable ruler.

But as a god, the other party is both arrogant and picky.

It is permissible to leave the seat, but only if he is satisfied.

After all, the Lord of the Seats, Mercury Serpent, desires not only the unknown but also the absolute refusal to accept an ending that is not what he desires.

If things don't go his way, or if someone tries to forcibly take his "seat"... the Mercury Serpent desires the power it unleashes to disregard the timeline and causality, directly returning the entire multiverse to its very beginning.

This endless cycle of recurring "horror dramas" is the strongest principle of survival that can never be defeated.

The paradox of this principle is that as long as the Mercury Serpent, the master of the seat, is on the seat, even if that person is accidentally killed, the Eternal Recurrence will still be activated, returning everything to its original state.

Then the Serpent of Mercury, the master of the throne, can take the initiative, rewrite its own script, and eliminate all factors that could lead to unfavorable events.

If you want to stop this guy, you must drive him away from the [seat].

However, if you defeat the Mercury Serpent and try to take over the [seat], the opponent's Eternal Reversion will definitely be activated first, returning everything to its original state and rewriting the script.

It can be said that the opponent is quite cheating, and is inherently invincible.

In simple terms, its effect is similar to loading and rewinding a game save.

Because of this shameless power, the other party is not afraid of going too far!

After all, the worst that can happen is a rollback! If someone gets in my way, I'll just eliminate the possibility of them ever being born!

Based on this domineering and terrifying power, the Mercury Serpent, as the mastermind behind the scenes, has woven a grand horror drama in this world.
