Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"So... even if I kill Iron Tomb, the timeline will still lead to that ending?"

Black Tower nodded.

"So, who is this line of work targeting? Fu Li? Or Bo Shi Zun?"

Black Tower looked at him without saying a word.

Screw Gum didn't say anything either.

Jiang waited for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, though there was a hint of helplessness in that smile.

"Star God..."

Chapter 242 If you get in my way again, I'll send you to your doom first.

Why can't the cause-and-effect relationship be closed?

Why is it that the so-called witnessing of the end in this storyline, instead of placing him on the eve of the end to witness its birth as before, directly takes him after the end of memories?

Why......

The difficulty of this line is infinite "∞".

The answer is obvious.

"So this line was a dead end from the very beginning."

A few words were all it took for a group of people to easily arrive at a conclusion that they were doomed to die.

Oh, that's terrible.

Screw Gum didn't respond, nor did Black Tower.

The only sound in the entire laboratory was the gentle tapping of Jiang Jiu's keyboard.

It's very noisy.

"Ugh, this is so annoying, it was almost over."

Jiang Jiu suddenly said this.

Hei Ta walked over to Jiang Jiu and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head.

"It might not be very good. Although I expected it, it's still a bit of a hassle."

"What we're guessing at is just the worst-case scenario; maybe the End will disappear after we kill the Iron Tomb?"

"Is that possible?" Jiang Jiu asked rhetorically.

No one is just daydreaming; the clues and the future are right in front of us, and who can easily overturn this conclusion?

Perhaps there are other possibilities.

But this will most likely only get worse, not better.

As for why?

Just because of this "∞".

ScrewGumm thought for a long time, then hesitated before speaking, "Unless..."

Jiang Jiu turned her head to look at him: "Unless what?"

Screwgoom paused for a moment: "Unless another Star God intervenes and forcibly rewrites this causal chain, or..."

He didn't finish speaking.

"Or?" Black Tower pressed.

Screw Gum looked at her, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness that even he himself didn't realize: "Or, someone can stand at the level of a Star God and use a higher authority to override the existing anchor."

"But unfortunately, Black Tower, this is almost impossible to do. It involves the Venerable One and Fuli. There are too few star gods who can cover their anchor points."

In conclusion, there is no way to resolve this.

Black Tower frowned slightly: "This is troublesome. Even if there really is a Star God who can do it, it will be very troublesome to get him to do it."

Jiang Jiu didn't continue the conversation.

It's meaningless.

He looked at the line of code on the screen that was already mostly cracked and said something softly.

Black Tower didn't hear clearly and subconsciously asked, "What?"

"nothing."

Jiang Jiu just stared at the flashing code on the screen, seemingly lost in thought.

Black Tower looked at him, wanting to say something, but ultimately gave up. Screw Gum was silent for a while, and finally the group began their tedious coding session.

After a long time, once a node had completely stabilized, Black Tower suddenly spoke: "Jiang Jiu."

"Ok?"

“If—and I mean if,” she paused, “if it really came to that, what would you do?”

She didn't say exactly what it was, but Jiang Jiu knew very well.

"I don't know." His tone was calm, with little emotional fluctuation in his voice. "We'll see when the time comes."

"We should at least give it a try."

While the firewall inside Onfaros can be bypassed remotely, reversing the flow rate between the inside and outside requires accessing the entire system and modifying the core calculations.

Although postponing the end is difficult.

But getting it done ahead of time is incredibly easy.

For example... help the Iron Tomb advance the progress bar to 99% ahead of time?

"That's about enough. I'm going to go inside the Emperor's Scepter to grab access. Do you guys want to come along and have some fun?"

“Okay,” Black Tower was the first to agree.

“It’s my pleasure,” said Screw Gum.

Screw Gum generously sponsored a semi-combat spaceship to travel together to the interior of the Emperor's Scepter.

Inside the Imperial Scepter, apart from Screw and Goom who were genuinely visiting for the first time, one had been there many times and the other remembered it many times, and coming here felt like coming home.

They were experts at it.

The group arrived at the core location without any trouble. After hacking into the scepter with ease, they found that the administrator privileges inside were a bit complicated.

Jiang Jiu stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "Can we simulate the administrator's signal? Just imitate a Legus cell and stuff it in."

Screw Gum nodded: "Theory holds true, practice—"

"I apologize, everyone." Lai Gushi appeared before them, giving a slight nod. "Whatever you intend to do, this is the end..."

Jiang Jiu lowered his hand, and the figure of Lai Gushi in front of him had already vanished on the spot.

Jiang Jiu didn't give Lai Gushi another glance, and focused his attention back on the internal permissions of the Emperor's Scepter.

"Ignore him, let's continue."

Black Tower chuckled: "He's the first genius senior, yet you really don't give him any face at all."

“Zandar has caused me too much trouble. Anyone who wants such a senior can have him.”

“That’s true.” Black Tower agreed wholeheartedly.

After a preliminary model was established in the database, Lai Gushi reappeared before the group.

This time, however, he didn't look closer, afraid that he would be instantly killed by Jiang Jiu if he got too close.

Jiang Jiu frowned slightly: "Are you that eager to get noticed?"

Laigushi: "..."

"I just want to warn everyone that some things are destined to be impossible..."

Lai Gushi's voice stopped halfway again, and then his whole body split in two and slowly dissipated.

Click.

That was the sound of the Lonely Star Sword returning to its sheath.

Jiang Jiu's tone was already very impatient: "If you get in our way again, I'll go find some of your slices and send you to meet the end first."

"Of course... you can also bet on whether I can do it or not."

"senior."

Chapter 243 But at least, not the enemy.

Laigushi: "..."

Lai Gushi remained silent, simply trying to find a way to stop these people.

They only managed to stop halfway.

Lai Gushi discovered that these geniuses only wanted to adjust the difference in the internal and external time flow of Onphalus.

Laigushi: "..."

When they saw Lugushi again, Lugushi had already built a preliminary simulation signal. All that was left was to insert basic data simulation information before he could try to obtain administrator privileges.

As for where to get the information...

"just."

Jiang Jiu raised his hand to block Lai Gu Shi's retreat, then turned to look at Luo Si Gu Mu: "Wouldn't we get information if we dismantled him?"

Screw Gum nodded: "The theory holds true, and it can be put into practice."

"...Please wait a moment, sir."

His voice was a little more urgent than before, but he still maintained basic decorum: "I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

Jiang Jiu placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, his knuckles tapping lightly.
