My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

He paused, then said solemnly, "This concerns the life and death of all humanity on Earth!"

Professor Harlem was both angry and embarrassed to be ignored by a young junior. Upon hearing Bradrick's words, he immediately interrupted him: "Professor Bradrick, stop talking nonsense here!"

The Void Element is a clean, pollution-free, and inexhaustible super energy. With it, humanity's long search for energy will come to a perfect end. From then on, energy will no longer be a problem, and human civilization will enter the next stage of development!

Professor Bradrick, are you trying to ruin humanity's bright future by slandering the Void Element?

Bradrick glanced at Harlem with disgust, his handsome face contorted with anger.

"You are the one who is destroying humanity!"

Do you know the cost of the Fifth Action converting the elements of our world into Ruins?

Both were professors, both hired by America's military, and neither was inferior to the other. That's why Bradrick dared to confront Harlem head-on.

Upon hearing this, Harlem felt a chill run down his spine.

In fact, the fifth force erodes all the elements on the periodic table.

However, the more unstable an element is, the faster it is converted into a void element.

This pattern was discovered by Bradrick, and Harlam, in order to claim as much credit as possible for himself, used his authority to force the use of Uuo232 as the raw material for creating Ruins elements.

Harlem was prepared to argue his little trick when he saw it exposed. After all, these generals didn't understand science. However, upon closer observation, he discovered that General Andrew didn't seem to have noticed his little trick at all.

Immediately, he made up his mind and smiled easily: "What price could there be? It's just the loss of some material elements."

Based on the rate of erosion caused by the fifth force, the material on our Earth alone would be enough for humanity to use for tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, humans who have mastered the inexhaustible energy of the Void Element have probably already expanded their activities beyond the solar system. At that time, the material elements of the entire universe would be enough for humans to use for billions and billions of years.

Professor Bradrick, are you worried about the survival of humanity billions of years from now?

"Then you must be a truly great scientist!"

General Andrew Jerson listened quietly to Harlam's speech, nodded, and seemed to agree.

In response to Harlem's sarcasm, Bradrick retorted:

"Foolish! The world will be destroyed by idiots like you sooner or later! This is not a matter of how much material element is lost!"

"Did you know that the fifth force corrodes the more unstable the element, the faster it does so?"

Upon hearing this, Harlem laughed and said, "Isn't this even better? If Uuo232 isn't enough, we can use other elements. Any element on the entire periodic table can be used as a raw material. Doesn't this indirectly prove that the energy of the void is inexhaustible?"

"Infinite? Hahaha~ You should have learned the second law of thermodynamics, right?"

"Are you deliberately humiliating me?" Harlam said angrily.

How could a professor not know the second law of thermodynamics?

“I have no interest in humiliating you.” Bradrick paused. “Since you know the second law of thermodynamics, then you should know that heat cannot flow from a colder body to a hotter body without causing other changes!”

Bradrick gave Harlem a deep look and asked, "What do you think this 'other' change is?"

“Isn’t it a loss of some material elements?” Harlam said.

"Foolish! Do you really understand the implications of the second law of thermodynamics?"

"You—, then tell me your brilliant idea." Harlam's face turned bright red.

Bradrick said slowly, "The second law of thermodynamics tells us that although two objects at different temperatures can do work using the temperature difference, their essence is a temperature balance! So, what do you think is the balance between the two worlds?"

Harlem had a bad feeling, but still couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "What is it?"

“It’s… the convergence of physical laws!” Bradrick looked at the general. “General, the so-called inexhaustible energy is just an illusion.”

The world we live in and the world of the fifth force were originally like two parallel membranes covering the same space in the universe.

They had always been clearly separated, keeping to themselves, with their respective physical rules governing each other and having nothing to do with each other.

But now, due to an unknown force, two membranes that would never have touched before have been forcibly changed direction and started to interact, causing the physical laws on both sides to converge.

When these two membranes come into complete contact, or even merge, the laws of our universe will change.

The impact of this is completely immeasurable. It is not something that will happen billions of years from now, as Professor Harlem said. It is very likely to erupt right now!

For example…

General Andrew Jerson asked instinctively, "Like what?"

Bradrick looked at General Andrew with a serious expression, and instead of answering directly, asked a question.

"General, the Fifth Force's erosion of the material world follows the principle that the more active an element is, the more easily it is transformed into Void Elements. So, in your opinion, where are the elements most active in our world?"

General Andrew was taken aback, pondered for a moment, then shook his head, unable to come up with an answer.

Bradrick said, "It's... the sun!"

Upon hearing this, not only was Andrew stunned, but the other researchers in the hall also stopped what they were doing.

Bradrick continued, "Massive nuclear fusion reactions are constantly taking place inside the sun; it's where the elements are most active."

However, if we allow the fifth force to continue to permeate the physical rules of our world...

The intensity of nuclear fusion inside the sun will weaken. Given the sun's size, even a slight decrease in its fusion reaction will have an unprecedented impact on Earth. According to my calculations, if the rules of the two worlds continue to interfere with each other, Earth will enter an unprecedented ice age within the next ten years.

And the process of the sun falling into that other world will be completed within a hundred years.

At that time, the entire solar system will cease to exist!

After Bradrick finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

General Andrew Jerson looked grave, seemingly lost in thought.

Haaland retorted, "Nonsense! That's just your side of the story; you have no evidence whatsoever!"

Bradrick ignored Harland and continued speaking to General Andrew: "General, do you remember the phenomenon caused by the appearance of the original owner of that card in this world?"

We are now basically certain that it was a civilization with a completely different set of rules.

So, from a civilizational perspective, why do you think it came into our world?

Upon hearing this, Andrew's eyes widened.

He's not good at scientific matters, but he's a true expert in military affairs.

Moreover, the American military is an expert at creating hypothetical enemies.

His thoughts instantly wandered, and he began to wonder why the other party had come to our world.

Could they be here for a friendly visit?

Stop kidding me!

Friendly visits only occur between the weak and the strong. When will the strong be friendly to the weak?

So, the most crucial question is... is Earth considered the stronger one?

He began to compare the figure that had first appeared at the end of August with America's powerful nuclear arsenal in his mind, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know...

Bradrick observed the expression on Andrew's face and added, "General Andrew, I now strongly suspect that these cards with the fifth force were intentionally placed there by the other side."

It's highly likely that the other side encountered difficulties when entering our world, so they deliberately left these cards to lure us into using this seemingly endless energy to accelerate the convergence of the two worlds—"

Bradrick did not continue, but left some blanks for General Andrew Jerson to think about.

Sure enough, after a moment, General Andrew took a deep breath, as if he had figured something out.

He ordered Harlam to temporarily halt the production of Ruins Element, and then asked Bradrick to write down his words in a report and submit it to him.

Then he turned and left; he needed to consult with the Pentagon and the White House…

Chapter 446 Conquest

Neon lights.

Sapporo City.

Inside an ordinary apartment in a residential community.

Kichiko Kuchizuki, lying on the bed in the bedroom, opened her sleepy eyes and saw a man's chest, or more accurately, a boy's chest.

Two days have passed since she first met Takasei Hayato.

It's Monday afternoon, and in an hour she'll be going to Miyazaki Hospital for her night shift.

In just two short days, from the day before yesterday until now, she has become the plaything of a young man.

In the past, this would have been absolutely unimaginable for her, given her pride and arrogance.

But now... her body and soul have been conquered, at least on the surface.

She gazed tenderly at Takashi Hayato, and the twenty-seven-year-old woman, facing a boy almost ten years her junior, revealed the shyness of a little girl looking at her sweetheart.

She pouted coquettishly, extended her lotus-like finger and tapped Takasago Hayato's nose with dissatisfaction, complaining, "Master, you big bad guy, you don't know how to be gentle with a woman at all!"

Du Jizi now understands what it means to be unpredictable and to not judge a book by its cover.

This little guy who's so much younger than me must have misplaced all his talent!

Little did she know, Hayato Takagi had cheated; the [Healing] ability wasn't just about healing wounds...

At this moment, Takasaki Hayato leaned against the headboard, staring blankly at the ceiling, entering a state of sage-like tranquility.

After his rebirth, he was no longer the righteous Gao Shengsheng he once was.

In his previous life, he suffered greatly. He finally awakened the powerful superpower "Deprivation," but was hunted down by the whole world and never had a good day.

Now that he has been reborn and has a second chance, he has decided that in this life he will get back everything he lost, with interest.

Not only this top-tier beauty in full bloom, but also the young lady of the Miyazaki family who looked down on him, he wanted to take her into his possession as well!

At that moment, he heard Du Jizi's complaint and suddenly tightened his grip on Du Jizi's hand.

"ah!"

Kuchizuki let out a mournful cry, her eyes filled with even more resentment and grievance as she looked at the mature-beyond-her-years boy in front of her.

She had already realized that Takasaki Hayato wasn't very strong; clearly, he wasn't really angry.

Hayato Takasaki stared at Tokiko, feigning sternness as he asked, "Say it again, what is your master's?"

Du Jizi said reluctantly, "Master is a very good person, is this alright?"

Looking at Dokiko's expression, Takasaka Hayato felt quite pleased.
