I created a foundation

[The potential hazard level, calculated based on the probability of world line convergence, is determined to be: city-destroying (high risk) to world-destroying (potential).]

[Containment Difficulty Rating: SSS (Since the host already possesses some restraint capabilities, the overall difficulty has been lowered to: Very High).]

This series of evaluations, even if it only appears in the mind, is enough to make people feel the horror of Tomie's existence.

Lin Qing was not surprised by this.

[During this incident, the host demonstrated outstanding command and decisiveness, coordinating Foundation resources and uniting secular forces to complete the comprehensive containment and purification of the S-Class anomaly Tomie at the lowest cost and with the highest efficiency.]

[It has reduced the social panic index to the greatest extent and maintained the surface stability of the current world.]

【And completely eliminated the possibility of the anomaly recurring in the current world line.】

[Comprehensive Assessment: The host has made an epic contribution to the current world stability.]

Systematic evaluation, objective and pertinent.

[Reward levels are being adjusted upwards...]

An invisible progress bar seemed to emerge in Lin Qing's consciousness, climbing slowly and steadily.

[Confirmation of authority increase…Assessment of Foundation development potential…Assessment of host's overall strength…Calculation of world line contribution weights…]

A series of complex calculations seem to be taking place deep in the core of the system.

Each item represents a precise quantification of his behavior.

【Judgment completed.】

[The reward level has been finally upgraded to: S+ (Epic).]

The suffix "史" (history) carries a lot of weight.

Lin Qing's eyes were still calm and deep like the night sky, as if they embraced everything, yet seemed empty.

S+ reward, and named "Epic".

This is undoubtedly the highest level reward given by the system since he traveled through time.

Tomie's difficulty and the significance of her complete eradication are indeed worthy of such evaluation.

The infinite proliferation that is almost regular, the spiritual pollution that can easily distort people's hearts, and the high degree of concealment that makes it impossible to find a trace once it blends into the crowd.

If he didn't have the [Mind Barrier] to perfectly restrain its charm, and the [Mind Network] to perform large-scale life perception and emotional locking.

If core members such as Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, Busujima Saeko and others had not grown up and were able to stand on their own.

If it weren't for the full cooperation of the Shinomiya Group, which provided almost unlimited resources and social cover.

The lack of any link may cause the containment operation to fail, or even trigger a disaster affecting the entire Neon.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the S+ (Epic) reward—the Nature-type Devil Fruit [Thunder Fruit]! ]

【Thunder Fruit】!

Even Lin Qing, when he clearly "heard" every syllable of this name, a subtle but clear ripple appeared in his calm heart.

This is not only a top-level power system from a world of advanced martial arts and magic, but also represents a direct control over the great power of nature.

The moment the system prompt sound completely faded away.

An energy torrent that is difficult to describe in words, supreme and pure, as if it condenses the origin of the first thunder at the beginning of the world, is not injected from the outside world, but awakens directly from the deepest part of Lin Qing's body, every cell, every gene fragment!

This energy is not a crude infusion, but more like a deep awakening and activation of the origin of blood.

Every cell and every elementary particle of his body, on top of his original perfect template of the [Ultimate Creature], was engraved with a new, innate, supreme sacred attribute - lightning!

Boom!

An invisible divine thunder that seemed to be able to shatter the nine heavens and ten earths exploded deep in the origin of his soul.

At that moment, Lin Qing felt that his form of existence had undergone some mysterious transformation.

His consciousness was infinitely elevated, as if connected to the endless thunderclouds above the nine heavens, and resonating deeply with every electric charge flowing between heaven and earth.

He could clearly "see" the free electric charges in the air that were normally invisible to the naked eye. They flickered and jumped like golden stars.

He could clearly "hear" the subtle crackling sounds they made when they collided with each other at a microscopic level.

He could clearly "feel" the inherent joy, submission, and desire to merge into his body that they conveyed.

A force of thunder origin that was violent, destructive, and extremely domineering, yet also carried a hint of creation and purification, roared and surged in every corner of his body.

From the limbs to the internal organs, everything is completely immersed, assimilated and sublimated by this supreme power of thunder and lightning.

His blood surged like magma, and every drop contained fine arcs of golden electricity.

His bones seemed to have turned into divine gold compressed and condensed from thousands of thunders.

Every beat of his heart seemed to be gathering strength for the thunderous punishment that was about to strike.

This feeling is not a passive acceptance, but an absolute control from the inside out.

Thunder and lightning are no longer external energy, but an extension of his body and a manifestation of his will.

He is the walking lightning, the embodiment of thunder.

The talent of [Spirit and Body as One] was stimulated to the extreme at this moment, allowing Lin Qing's spirit to be perfectly combined with this new power of thunder.

The [Ultimate Organism]'s perfect physique displayed its terrifying adaptability and evolutionary potential. Facing this thunder essence, his body not only showed no rejection, but instead greedily absorbed, integrated, and optimized this power, perfectly integrating it into his own circulation system.

[Immortality] is like the last line of defense, ensuring the absolute safety of the fusion process.

Energy outburst is a false proposition that does not exist for Lin Qing at this moment.

He could clearly feel that the power of thunder in his body was as gentle as a newborn lamb.

As long as he wants, all he needs is a thought.

The prosperous city before him would be bathed in the thunderous divine punishment controlled by him in an instant.

Lin Qing slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers were slender and strong.

He extended an index finger, his movements casual.

He stood quietly in the top-floor office of the foundation's headquarters. Outside the huge one-way floor-to-ceiling glass window was Tokyo, which had just woken up and was gradually returning to its bustle.

The early morning sun penetrates the clouds and gently shines on the city.

But on Lin Qing's fingertips, as white as jade, was quietly condensing an extreme destructive force that was completely opposite to this warmth.

His thoughts moved slightly.

There was no earth-shaking thunder, no gorgeous and dazzling lights and shadows.

A pure golden arc, so tiny that it was almost negligible and as bright as the rising sun, danced and swirled silently at his fingertips.

This ray of lightning was as thin as a gossamer, yet condensed to the extreme, as if compressing a lake of lightning into a small space.

It quietly coiled around his fingertips like a newborn elf.

However, beneath this quietness and insignificance, there lies a terrifying power that is enough to terrify even gods and demons.

Lin Qing could clearly feel that as long as he wanted, the tiny flash of lightning at his fingertips would expand wildly within one ten-thousandth of a second and turn into a brilliant pillar of lightning that pierced through the sky and earth.

This pillar of lightning was enough to instantly blast any steel jungle within his sight into the most primitive particles.

Whether it is special alloy or thick concrete, in the face of this pure power of thunder and lightning, it will be as fragile as snow.

A very faint, special ozone smell with a slight metallic odor began to quietly spread in the air in the office.

When this golden arc was jumping, the invisible weak energy it dissipated had already begun to forcefully penetrate the surrounding air molecules.

Some precision electronic equipment placed far away had a few tiny streaks of snow and noise flashing uncontrollably on their LCD screens.

All these unusual occurrences seemed to happen so silently.

The highest-level defense system throughout the foundation headquarters did not raise any alarm regarding this power that originated from within Lin Qing and was perfectly controlled by him at his fingertips.

It couldn't even effectively detect the true strength of this force.

Lin Qing stared at the golden electric light that was happily jumping at his fingertips, and clearly felt the supreme power contained in it, which seemed to be able to easily tear the sky apart and judge all things.

His eyes were deep and distant, like the eternal night sky filled with billions of stars and endless thunder.

A long time, a long time.

The corners of his calm mouth slowly curved up into an arc so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

It is a manifestation of absolute confidence that allows one to see through everything and control everything.

He also realized that his own strength had risen to an incredible new level.

He whispered softly, his voice not loud, but it seemed to contain some kind of supreme majesty that made his words come true, which produced a wonderful resonance with the joyful lightning particles in the air, making them vibrate even more violently.

"From today on, I am a natural disaster."

Chapter 85: Tomie's Echo, Parents Contaminated by Memes

The lights at Foundation headquarters were brightly lit, and the air was filled with a strange scent, a mixture of disinfectant and a faint hint of blood. Decontamination reports for S-Class containment object [SCP-009-Tomie], memetic spread assessments, potential victim tracking plans, and subsequent public opinion control plans piled up like snowflakes on the desks of various departments.

Every corner is filled with intense and efficient busyness.

Sisters Yukinoshita Yukino and Yukinoshita Haruno, as core participants and important contributors to the "Tomie Incident," fought on the front lines for days. From the initial encounter, to the capture of the mother body, to the subsequent elimination of Tomie's splinters, they hardly took a moment's rest.

At this moment, there was fatigue that was hard to conceal between their brows.

Lin Qing looked at their slightly pale faces and the faint dark circles under their eyes, and showed a rare gentleness.

"You sisters played an indispensable role in this incident."

Lin Qing's voice was calm but carried unquestionable power.

"Leave the subsequent finishing work to Shiyu and Minori. You two, go home and have a good rest for a few days to adjust your condition."

"Yes, President."

The two sisters responded in unison, both breathing a sigh of relief. Their nerves, tense for so long, finally got a chance to breathe.

The Yukinoshita family's private car drove smoothly into the mansion located in an upscale community. The area was shaded by green trees and had a quiet environment. Each villa was spaced far enough apart to ensure the privacy of the residents.

However, when the two sisters opened the door of their home, what greeted them was not the tranquility and warmth of the past.

The living room was a mess.
