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

[Su Chang: Ah, this... I... we...]

Silver Wolf couldn't help but complain.

[Silver Wolf: Immortal Boat, why don't you just commit suicide? How could someone cause such a huge mess?]

[Walter: A savior who needs to confide in his enemies—how ironic.]

[Fireworks: Actually, you guys are all a bit crazy.]

[March 7th: You're one of them!]

[Fireworks: I'm so happy, March baby~ How could you say I'm crazy~]

[Long Night Moon: Don't worry...]

......

These words, spoken by Jiang Jiu while drunk and not exactly rational, were met with widespread sighs from the crowd.

Lai Gushi listened quietly. Unusually, he did not try to refute with logic, nor did he offer any explanation or comfort with the so-called necessary sacrifice. He simply waited calmly for Jiang Jiu to finish speaking.

After a long silence, as Jiang Jiu fell silent once again, staring at the table with his head down, Lai Gushi spoke.

"Your concern is valid, but you shouldn't care."

"Your identity dictates that you will have to make choices."

[March 7th: It's right to care, but it's impossible not to care.]

[Star: His status doesn't allow him to care about these things. It's like food in a trash can; you know you shouldn't rummage through it, but you do anyway because you care.]

March 7th: That's you.

[Star: It's all the same!]

[Star: A normal person wouldn't rummage through a trash can, but I would; a normal person wouldn't risk their life to save someone, but he would!]

[Himeko: What Raiko means is that as a savior, he must make choices; he wants to save everyone, but he can't.]

Himeko: That's why he felt he didn't deserve the title of savior.

[March 7th: But he has already saved many people...]

Himeko: But he cares about those he couldn't save.

[Star: Got it. A good person can do a hundred good deeds and no one will praise them, but if they make one mistake, they deserve to be scolded.]

March 7th scratched his head.

[Xi Lian: A savior shouldn't be sentimental... but how can a savior not be sentimental...?]

[Bai E: ...That's how it is.]

[Fireworks: But he was a self-destructive being. His emotions should have been almost completely worn away. Even so, you still grieve for the dead, Lord Jiang Jiu? (I'm crying.)]

[Lai Gushi: His concern was justified, and it was precisely that concern that made him who he is.]

[Lagushi: But since you've chosen to be the savior, you must be prepared to lose, whether it's yourself or others.]

[Crydella: What's with all sorts of people watching this movie? Take him out.]

[Haiserin: Yes.]

At this moment, the Omphalusian Cycle is playing in the era of Caesar's rule, but the internal cycle of Omphalus never ends.

...it even accelerated.

[Kafka: Right and wrong are never changed by the cost, nor is it worthwhile determined by the cost.]

[Kafka: He's sober now.]

[Kafka: If you'd like, the Star Core Hunter can always keep a cup of hot tea for you.]

[Black Tower: Rejected.]

[Kafka: That's a real shame.]

The wine bottles on the table were long gone.

Jiang paused for a few seconds, sighed, and didn't continue the conversation.

He stood up, stretched his body slightly, and looked at Lai Gushi.

"We drank tea, we drank wine, we chatted... although none of the things I initially wanted to do came to fruition."

He paused, then chuckled softly.

"I'm leaving now, senior. I hope that when we meet again, it won't be when you've caused some major disaster that I'll have to deal with."

It was an almost suicidal timeline reset.

It's like getting used to something the first time, but becoming familiar with it the second time.

After seeing Jiang Jiu's increasingly skillful suicide methods, everyone should get used to it.

[Zhenzhu: As a genius, this timeline should be relatively early for him, right? Why didn't he use other methods to accelerate time, but instead chose suicide?]

[ScrewGumm: Logically speaking, if Jiang Jiu has the ability to choose any timeline, then suicide to reset the timeline would be the simplest and quickest way.]

[ScrewGumm: And currently there's nothing worth clinging to or needing to preserve in this storyline. In summary, there's no need to complicate things.]

[Yun Li: These are two omnics arguing... Aww!]

[Yun Li: I was wrong, Lord Screw King and Lady Pearl, I didn't think it through.]

[Zhenzhu: Huh? Freedom of speech.]

[Screw Gum: I completely agree, Miss Yun Li.]

The scene in the video shifted, and the next moment, as the scene before him solidified, Jiang Jiu was surrounded by several androids.

"......Um?"

[March 7th: Frog Fun, I must say, it's truly a machine, its reaction time is incredibly fast.]

[Screwgoom: It looks like... it's Screw Star.]

In the scene, Jiang Jiu looked at Luo Sigu Mu walking gracefully from not far away and nodded slightly: "Long time no see, Your Majesty Luo Sigu Mu."

Screw Gum paused slightly, stopping in front of Jiang Jiu. After observing for a brief two seconds, he gracefully raised his hand, signaling the surrounding androids to put down their weapons and retreat in an orderly fashion.

Although the omnics didn't quite understand, they still obeyed orders.

"Logic: The visitor is known to possess the ability to easily breach our core defense perimeter, and has not triggered any pre-set destructive counterattack protocols, indicating that their behavior pattern is neither intrusion nor hostility. Question: Your Excellency, what brings you to such a formal and sudden visit?"

Screw Gum's voice was gentle, but his scrutinizing gaze gave Jiang Jiu a sense of wariness.

Before Jiang Jiu could speak, Screw Gumu spoke again.

"Furthermore, based on my core memory bank comparison, we seem to be... complete strangers."

He calmly gazed at Jiang Jiu, abandoning his previous scrutinizing posture and remaining only with pure observation and curiosity.

"The phrase 'long time no see' seems to presuppose that we share a past, which I find perplexing."

"It's a bit complicated to explain."

Jiang Jiu shrugged and decided to answer with the most direct answer: "I come from a point in time that is the future for you. At that point in time, we not only met, but also cooperated on some... well, things. Overall, our relationship was okay."

He paused, then added, "Of course, that's the future you. The present you naturally doesn't know me."

Screw Gum was silent for two seconds.

"Logic: Accept the hypothesis of a time traveler or intervener across timelines as the current explanatory framework. Although this hypothesis has not been verified, it does not contradict existing observational data."

"As a member of the Genius Club, I am willing to believe in your abilities and the future you speak of."

[March 7th: Huh, you believed it right away?]

[Star: That's a bit too easy. If it were me, I would definitely ask more questions! I wouldn't trust him so easily unless he bribed me and took me through a few more trash cans!]

March 7: 9.

[Estella: Actually... I can somewhat understand King Roosgom's actions. If one day someone manages to hack into all the systems of the Black Tower space station and replace my coffee with tea, I probably... wouldn't dare to question him too much.]

[Star: The main question is, was your coffee switched?]

[Estella: Ethically, no, but emotionally yes!]

[Silver Wolf: Ha, so this is what you call genius-level "efficient communication," skipping the probing process and jumping straight to the core issue. No wonder it's so boring.]

[Fireworks: Oh dear, is Silver Wolf envious of how quick-witted others are?]

[ScrewGumm (comment): Logic: If he intends to be hostile, there's no need for pretense. Given his demonstrated ability to break through defenses, launching a direct attack would be more efficient. Pretending to be a "future friend" and fabricating a story is inefficient and flawed, inconsistent with his demonstrated strength.]

[ScrewGumm (comment): Therefore, the hypothesis of "enemy disguise" has a lower logical priority than the hypothesis of "time traveler".]

[Full of Wish: No wonder he's a genius.]

[Fulfilled Wish: Let's have a happiness surgery! Happy people never die!]

[Fireworks: What is this thing?]

In short, Jiang Jiu's prepared words to persuade Screw Gum were completely useless, as the other party calmly accepted the assumption that he came from the future.

So the two naturally transitioned to the next topic.

"Actually, I came to you this time to ask you for a favor, or rather, this problem is closely related to androids and all inorganic life forms."

I thought that since everything had gone so smoothly, this request for help would be easily granted.

But Screw Gum hesitated for two seconds.

"Question: Jiang Jiu, are you aware that at this time, the relationship between organic life and intelligent life is... very bad."

Jiang Jiu was slightly taken aback: "...Hmm?"

Screw Gum assumed Jiang Jiu's reaction meant he didn't know, so he explained, "Reminder: The Second Imperial War has just ended, and most organic life forms believe that the existence of intelligent life forms is questionable. Currently, the relationship between the two sides... is very bad."

Jiang Jiu blinked.

"Ah...so you're saying that even with such a terrible relationship between organic and inorganic life...you're still willing to believe what I, an organic being, am saying to you is true?"

Screw Gum shook his head: "You have no reason to deceive me, nor does any genius."

[March 7th: Huh, are you not on good terms?]

[Star: It must be because times were different back then. Omnics were still discriminated against.]
