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

"..."

Jiang Jiu fell into deep thought.

So many star gods are watching a predetermined disaster unfold, and... is nobody going to do anything about it?

Hey, don't start questioning your existence yet.

[Logically speaking, well... Star Gods generally don't care too much about these things unless they interfere with their destiny.]

[Initially, breeding was accused of "breaking the balance," "hindering expansion," "violating protection," "disrupting order," and "disrupting intelligence," among other things... which is why the Star Gods all came to kick it while it was down.]

“But…” Jiang Jiu rubbed his temples, somewhat puzzled, “Nanook is here…wasn’t it said that He has a grudge against the global locust plague?”

"I remember his hometown..."

[Well, the homeland of the God of Destruction has been plagued by disasters, and the greatest disaster, judging from appearances, was Himself...]

Right...?

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

He lowered his head, took two deep breaths, and kept pressing one hand against his temple.

So that's how it is...

[That's...that's it. Hey, are you alright?]

Jiang Jiu didn't move.

He remained in that position for a long time before stiffly raising his head.

"...Yes, as expected."

If the Star God doesn't act easily... then it means that as long as the world line is propagated and spread, it will become invalid.

"pretty good."

Nothing can suppress this terrifying thing... The Star God doesn't care, and below the Star God, there is no solution.

"......very nice."

【......?】

Don't you think he's a little silly?

[Well, I advise you to watch your words right now. I sense that Brother Jiang is in a bad mood, so be careful not to upset him...]

[Just out of curiosity, can this ending lead to a happy ending?]

“Yes, I can,” Jiang Jiu replied calmly.

Yes, you can...right?

He shook his head, and his somewhat unfocused pupils slowly focused. To be honest, he was a little tired.

What a hopeless situation.

It's even more hopeless than the first timeline.

In the first timeline, at least after discovering that there's a dead end ahead, you can still try to take it down with you.

But this timeline doesn't even allow for mutual destruction.

Because he needs to survive.

Because in addition to reproduction, it is also necessary to deal with the scourge conceived by Onphalus.

"..."

"Hunting...so protective of their own..."

Other methods...

He rested one hand on his knee and leaned against something casually.

He didn't know how long he had been thinking, but suddenly he remembered something.

"When the insect plague finally raged... what happened to Mirror Stream and Rakshasa?"

"Did this guy... escape?"

Jiang Jiu blinked and said directly, "System, location... um... let's go with Luofu. Choose a time..."

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds.

He thought of what the Black Tower had said.

"Next time, just come find me directly."

"..."

He thought for a moment, then sighed: "Fine, let's go to the Black Tower's space station. This time, let's be polite and locate the planet closest to the space station."

"Time... when the Pioneers had just arrived at the Immortal Ship."

"Selection successful. Location: Azure Star. Teleportation is about to begin. Please prepare."

My vision blurred for a moment.

The moment the scene solidified, he saw a bustling and prosperous scene.

A bustling and prosperous metropolis?

Jiang Jiu was stunned for two seconds. If it weren't for the people flying in the sky, he would have thought he had traveled back home.

"Is this Azure Star, the home of the Black Tower?"

It's prettier than I imagined.

Before he could finish his thought, a chilling killing intent pierced through the void and locked onto him from afar.

Jiang Jiu was stunned for two seconds.

In those two seconds, the arrow pierced his heart, and the violent force of fate engulfed the entire Azure Star, and also him.

The second before consciousness fades.

He only had time to think about it.

"......sorry."

Achievement Completed: Fastest Way to Die.

The system notification sounded again, pulling Jiang Jiu out of his death daze.

He knelt on the pure white floor of the system space, head bowed, weakly supporting himself on the ground.

The lingering phantom pain in my chest was still vivid; the heart that had been pierced by the arrow and vanished along with the azure star seemed to still be beating in vain in its original place.

Thump... Thump...

Then, the illusory heartbeat stopped.

Chapter 99 How many times can you kill me?

Jiang Jiu remained in that position, motionless.

Time has no meaning in this space; a few seconds may have passed, or several hours may have passed.

His breathing was so light it was almost imperceptible.

【Holy crap.】

[This time it was actually... a one-hit kill?]

[Was it ten seconds from when you were teleported to when you were thrown into the air? Or was it five seconds?]

[What is that? A hunting arrow? Was it targeted by Lan's Void Target? ? ? No, that's not right, why are Lan's arrows so fast?]

[The hunter's arrow ignores cause and effect... This is troublesome.]

[Brother Jiang? Brother Jiang, can you say something?]

Oh no, it seems to be broken.

The comments scrolled by rapidly, with everyone talking about all sorts of things, but none of it had anything to do with Jiang Jiu.

The lingering phantom pain in my chest is still spreading, but it doesn't matter anymore.

The fleeting glimpse of splendor before the destruction of Azure Star, that arrow of light that annihilated everything...

The chaotic images, like a broken projection, flashed repeatedly before his eyes, only to fade quickly.

He began to feel somewhat dazed.

The edges of my vision began to blur, and the pure white system space was no longer dazzling. Instead, it turned into a meaningless gray that was gradually being assimilated.

What did he just do?

Why go to Azure Star... Why bring disaster to that planet?

These thoughts flashed by, eventually turning into pale confusion.

so......

Why is he here?

Again and again, over and over...tasting utter, meaningless, worthless failure?

"I......"

He tried to make a sound, but his voice was slightly hoarse.

It was very light, but very unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it didn't seem like him.

"Really...can you do it?"

This sentence lacks direction and questioning tone; it sounds more like a statement than a question.

Dead end.

A complete and utter dead end.

Once you're targeted by the hunters, the time from entering the cycle of reincarnation to death is so short that you can't even react.

Perhaps it was the accumulation of combat power during this period that gave him the illusion that he was able to challenge the Star God. He admitted that he had been somewhat arrogant.
