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

So you're disappointed that I'm not crazy?

Jiang Jiu almost laughed out of anger.

With the Destruction Star God at his back and the power of fate flowing through him, Jiang Jiu tugged at his mask again, and this time he finally ripped it off.

He glanced at it and saw that it was a mask similar to a Nuo mask, so he threw it directly at Aha.

The mask spun in the air, then flew back to Jiang Jiu's side with a playful laugh.

You can't shake them off.

However, this inexplicable farce did not last long.

Because, after being briefly distracted by Aha, Lan Na's arrows re-locked onto Jiang Jiu.

The silvery-white arrowhead gleamed with a sharp edge, carrying a chilling killing intent born from repeated provocation.

Jiang Jiu sighed. He knew that once Lan's lock was established, it would be almost impossible to break free.

Especially after he had just started to fight back and then accidentally let Aha interfere.

This patrolling star probably already sees him as a variable that needs to be eliminated first.

Some people say...

When you are targeted by the vengeful hunters, your death is already inevitable.

But he wasn't afraid of death, so he didn't care much about the outcome.

He stopped dodging and instead stepped forward to meet the hunting arrow that was locked onto him, directly confronting Lan's blurry yet majestic figure.

"The Star-Hunting God".

Jiang Jiu spoke, his voice not loud, but very calm.

Can I ask you a question?

Lan did not respond, but the arrow's intent, which was locked onto Jiang Jiu, paused for two seconds.

Jiang Jiu didn't care whether He answered or not. With Destruction as a safety net, Lan wouldn't be able to kill him in a short time anyway.

After all... Nanuk would most likely not stand idly by and watch the envoy he personally promoted be eliminated by the other Star Gods.

Hmm... if it's really done, then restart it.

He continued speaking to himself, his gaze not on Lan, but on the shattered immortal ship not far away, ravaged by both destruction and the insect swarm.

"I ask you, do you hunt for abundance, pursue evil creatures, and protect the immortal ship because you hate the distortions and suffering brought about by immortality, and because you want to end the disaster caused by the Medicine Master's blessing, is that right?"

“I know that the Immortal Boat Alliance follows the will of the Hunt and has always taken eliminating the Abundance and killing the Pharmacist as its highest goal, even at all costs, even if it means... touching taboos and getting burned, in order to forge a sharp blade that can be aimed at the Pharmacist.”

He paused, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

"Then... what if, in their pursuit of forging this 'sharp blade,' they themselves become a more terrifying and uncontrollable catastrophe than the Abundant Spoils?"

"If they insist on taking that path... using the remains of the breeding, colluding with those of unknown origin, and turning their swords against the bounty... will it ultimately lead not only to the fall of the apothecary, but also drag the entire universe into its end?"

Jiang Jiu's voice suddenly rose, and his tone became questioning.

"Then please tell me... at that time, the Emperor's Bow Master—"

"Will you still protect them, even at the cost of dragging the entire universe down with you...?"

"Or will you... turn your arrows and point them at them?"

This question caused a moment of silence in the already chaotic scene.

Nanuk knew Jiang Jiu's goal, and seeing that he was still elbowing the End, he nodded in satisfaction.

Nothingness, of course, had no objection; it didn't care about anything.

What does it matter to Him whether the universe is born or dies? It's meaningless. Let's all become nothingness together, Oo?

Aha's laughter stopped in time with the laughter, and countless masks tilted their heads, looking very curious about how Lan would react.

Lan did not respond.

But His arrows remained firmly locked onto Jiang Jiu, without wavering in the slightest.

Silence is the best answer.

Jiang Jiu looked at the arrow that was still pointing at him and suddenly chuckled softly.

Expected.

The concept of hunting is still too narrow. Perhaps in the next ten thousand years, or the year after that, the concept of hunting will expand to something like hunting the stars to uphold justice, but that's not the case now.

He pursues extreme justice, regardless of the process, the cost, or even the potential consequences, as long as the arrows are still pointed at evil.

Lan didn't care.

Perhaps it was arrogance, perhaps it was genuine indifference, or perhaps it was a feeling that he didn't deserve an answer—Jiang Jiu didn't know.

After all, whatever Star God does is perfectly reasonable...

So who's saving this damn world besides the end and the pioneers?!

Jiang Jiu shook his head and looked away.

"Okay, so..."

He tilted his head and asked curiously, "Which is more powerful, the Hunting Ranger or the Void?"

No one answered, but he didn't mind.

"It's okay, I'll give it a try."

"Since we've already come this far, let me just add fuel to the fire for the inevitable end of this timeline!"

After saying that, he moved without the slightest hesitation, his figure flashing rapidly, his target being Lan's location.

As we all know... nothingness is never stingy with its believers' demands.

As long as you can handle it, you can take as much power as you want!

So now here's the problem... The Void Star God is right here... You don't even need to ask permission to use it.

The moment Lan's arrow was released, Jiang Jiu's figure appeared in front of him simultaneously.

Using their bodies as a cold medium, the power of nothingness erupted as they were swallowed by arrows.

It erupted, spread, and then—engulfed everything.

Suddenly confronted by nothingness, Lan was forced to... face this Void Star God.

Chapter 98 achieves the Bad End.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in the system space.

He lay there for a while, then subconsciously placed his hand on his chest to feel his still-beating heart.

Thump, thump...

That's great, they've died again.

Achievement accomplished.

Bad End.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"It's okay, this is just an extreme case, it's just bad luck that led to this."

"In fact, the Immortal Boat isn't that crazy."

"This is because they were forced into a corner."

"The immortal ship can still be saved, this world can still be survived, it can be changed with a different method, it can still be saved, it can still be saved, it can still be saved..."

【? 】

What are you doing here? Trying to summon a spirit?

[That's a crazy approach, and this timeline is so extreme.]

[As expected of Brother Jiang.]

"There's still hope! There's still hope! There's still hope..."

"It can still..."

He sat up, pressed his temples for a few seconds, and felt a slight headache.

"...How can we save him?"

[Turns out she was practicing self-hypnosis.]

[Regarding psychological suggestion... you can fool others, but don't fool yourself.]

Jiang Jiu sighed: "So at least this line of events is clear now. Jing Liu and Luo Sha brought the breeding remains to the Immortal Ship, Ruan Mei helped with the research, and in the end, the breeding insect plague wreaked havoc all over the world."

"Uh... putting aside the hunting, is it really necessary to let this line lead to the point where they attacked the God of Abundance?"

"Whether Ruan Mei wants to ascend to godhood through reproduction or create a god through reproduction, it would be enough to stop her..."

Jiang Jiu sat on the ground, chin in hand, eyes unfocused, his gaze seemingly adrift.

It's really simple.

It's really hard to do.

The previous timeline was too far back, so next time we'll just have to drag the timeline forward and try to intercept it before the Immortal Ship gets the breeding remains.

but......

"System, was the world ultimately saved? Was the insect plague dealt with after the Star God-level bombardment?"

The world is still heading towards its end.

"...Leaving aside the Iron Tomb."

"I can't let it go."

"Just let it go! It's just a hypothetical situation, can't you understand human language?!"

"...Okay, the insect infestation wasn't controlled; it's still spreading."
