Simultaneous Transmigration: We Share a Role-Playing System

Chapter 95 Afterword

Several days later.

Tokyo, an airport that has long been reduced to scorched earth and ruins by the catastrophe.

The deafening roar of engines tore through the deathly silence of the sky as a military transport plane bearing a moldy military insignia crashed heavily onto the makeshift tarmac with a screeching tire noise.

The wings whipped up the wind, like giant waves crashing into the freshly paved ground, instantly whipping up charred gravel and dust.

A fierce wind swept across the ravaged land, unleashing a chaotic sandstorm.

The hatch slammed shut, and before the hiss of the hydraulic valves had even subsided, Yuta Ekiku was already standing at the edge of the hatch. The fierce wind that rushed towards him whipped his bangs and clothes wildly, but he didn't move an inch. His gaze pierced through the swirling sand and locked onto the two figures standing quietly not far away, both wearing blindfolds.

"Teacher Gojo!"

The wind still whipped up sand and gravel across the cracked tarmac. Yuta Otsuko, whose gloom had lingered, brightened instantly upon seeing the familiar white-haired figure. His eyes lit up, the gloom vanished, and a vibrant smile bloomed on his face. "You must be Mr. Nishikita! Nice to meet you. I'm Yuta Otsuko, a student of Mr. Gojo! Hello, please take care of me!"

Locke had seen this kind of formal, almost restrained greeting countless times in recent days. He waved his hand dismissively and corrected him in a flat tone: "Hello, but don't call me Jintian. I can be him, but I'm not him after all."

"Why?"

This whole thing—no, it was his act—completely confused Yuta Ekiku. He looked up at Satoru Gojo with an embarrassed expression, as if asking himself if he had messed things up.

Seeing this, Gojo Satoru laughed so hard he almost fell over. He raised his hand to pat Otsuko's stiff shoulder, gestured with his chin to Locke to smooth things over, and then hooked his other hand around both of their arms, pulling them and turning to walk off the track.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing him, let's go."

On the way to the temporary base, Gojo Satoru finally put away his playful mood and explained to Etotsu Yuta the ins and outs of Locke's reincarnation and his current incarnation in a few words.

Only then did Yigu realize the meaning of that convoluted statement. As the group entered the temporary base in Tokyo and weaved through the crowds, Yigu Yuta couldn't suppress his doubts and asked in a low voice, "Then why keep this a secret? Are you afraid that the government and the United Nations will become wary?"

"That's just one of the reasons," Gojo Satoru said casually, completely disregarding the so-called government.

"Besides, if we're talking about being wary, it's more about being wary of his strength. After all, this guy is so strong that he can't even be described as a monster. You should have seen it, right? That monster who was said to be able to devour an entire planet was crushed to dust by him in one move."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuta's thoughts drifted back to yesterday.

The satellite video he obtained from the mold showed the giant snake, which had long since solidified into a physical form and completely transcended the concept of a cursed spirit, struggling with all its might to break through the atmosphere and escape the planet, only to be instantly annihilated by Jintian Jinglong's sword strike from mid-air. The scene was still as clear as if it were right before his eyes.

Recalling that scene again, he could only sigh silently in his heart. It was a power that was completely on a different level from those of them, the sorcerers. No wonder it aroused the fear of the highest level of human violence.

In other words, the name of the most powerful weapon that humanity possesses today is Nishiki-dae Kyōryū.

Perhaps, only by using nuclear weapons and risking mutual destruction, is there a sliver of hope.

The three walked side by side in the narrow corridor of the stronghold, while armed personnel, medical teams, and researchers hurried by.

Even though the three of them stood out conspicuously in the solemn and orderly base, passersby kept their eyes straight ahead, treating them as if they were invisible, not daring to cast even the slightest extra glance at them.

This is a joint development zone directly under the jurisdiction of the UN Security Council member states. Its level of secrecy and strategic importance are both top-notch. Ordinary people would have to go through layers of checks even to get close to the outer perimeter. However, the three of them walked through it as if no one was there. No one questioned or stopped them at all. It was as if they were in an empty place.

Seeing that Yuta Etsuko had some doubts, Satoru Gojo directly answered his question: "It's because of religious beliefs."

"ah?"

Seeing that Etotsu was even more confused, Gojo Satoru didn't keep him in suspense and gave an example.

"You may not know this now that you've just returned, but compared to the current public opinion surrounding sorcerers and cursed spirits, governments around the world are more concerned about whether a fanatical worship of Nishikina Keiryu will form. After all, he is Susanoo who slew the Yamata no Orochi."

After saying that, Gojo Satoru nudged Locke with his elbow, but Locke ignored him and just rolled his eyes.

After being reminded, Yuta Otsuku realized that if this was the case, it did indeed match the image in myths and legends. In addition, given the unimaginable power of the other party, it was normal for him to be regarded as a god.

No! The other person can reincarnate! Could it be—

Seeing his students' reaction, Gojo Satoru looked like he knew it: "See, even you almost believed it, let alone the others."

Just then, the three of them walked into a tent in the center of the base. Gojo Satoru and Locke started looking for listening devices at the same time. In no time, they found more than 160 of them and threw them out to the shocked gaze of Otsuku Yuta, as if they were already used to it.

"Religious belief has its necessity, but for some people, they can tolerate a false religion, but not a real God."

At this moment, Yi Guyou fully understood, breaking out in a cold sweat as he realized the seriousness of the problem. If this issue wasn't handled properly, wouldn't it be—

Although Yi Gu was young, he knew that no one could remain rational forever, and one should not believe that everyone was clear-headed. After all, the higher-ups in the world of sorcery had proven this point; they were not only stupid but also evil.

"But don't worry, that kind of situation won't happen, at least not for the time being."

Gojo Satoru stretched, crossed his legs, and looked at his student before revealing the reason for calling him back.

"Because humanity still needs him now to face potential future crises, an opponent that humanity can never defeat."

Having said that, Gojo Satoru handed Otsukoshi Yuta a tablet, on which was recorded the "Taiping Fudoki" forged by the demon Onijuro.

One page from the electronic version.

"In the beginning of time, a celestial machine came from the outer void, crossed the Milky Way, traversed dimensions, and descended to the mortal world. It was named Gilbaris and was known as the 'Death Machine'."

Its body is large enough to cover the sky, and its sharpness is enough to cleave the air. Wherever its hundreds of millions of armed soldiers roam, all intelligence is extinguished, cities and towns are reduced to ruins, and all living things return to silence.

This machine is neither demon nor monster, but the ultimate intelligence created by a race of astral beings. Under the guise of eliminating chaos, it holds the idea of ​​absolute peace while actually annihilating all living beings.

Fortunately, a brave warrior, aided by the Crimson Steel, overcame countless hardships and dangers, finally thwarting its ferocity and driving it back beyond the Star Abyss.

However, as time goes by, ominous signs appear, and this machine will eventually return, at which time heaven and earth will be overturned, and the end will come.
