Constraint Module

Recommended targets: Herrscher's Power, Key of Change, Fantasy Manifestation Factory, Magic Power, and Mystic Eye (By the way, you can't borrow that bastard's power either)

......

"Then, I'm leaving."

After quickly browsing all the content, Jia Ye nodded slightly, ignoring the notes behind the constraint module and the disdainful voice of Ge Jiuye in his mind, and opened the [Crossing] module with his mind according to the guidance of the system.

[Travel through the world: Main storyline world "Black Bullet"]

[Choose the mode of travel: Possession/Original flow (Note: Different travel modes will affect the content of the mission)]

Glancing speechlessly at the Honkai Will with an unchanging smile on his face, Jiaye chose the 'main body flow' option without hesitation.

Although everything needs to be experienced once, as it is his first time traveling through time, he would rather use his own body to move freely rather than being 'possessed' which might restrict his hands and feet.

At the same time, just after he made his choice, new content appeared on the panel.

[Travel Identity: The only survivor of Qixing Village, the number one IP "Promoter"]

[Common sense about the world and the memory of identity will be given after crossing]

[Time travel begins: Yes/No]

He decided "yes" with his mind, and then in Jiaye's perception, the things in front of him were quietly replaced by a pure white color, and then more and more colorful "stars" lit up one by one, until finally a starry sky appeared in front of him.

And at this moment, he was approaching one of the countless "stars", until he passed through a thin layer of ripples and entered it.

And just after Jiaye left, the smile on the face of Honkai Will, who was still standing in the original place, gradually returned to calm, and then he slowly turned around and looked behind him.

"They've already left. It's almost time for you to come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the "scenery" was replaced by "nothing" - it was not that everything disappeared, but that under the influence of some great force, all observations here had been blocked, except for the sound.

["You're overstepping your bounds."]

A voice that sounded like a man or a woman, old or young, cold or passionate, cheerful or dull, as if countless people were speaking at the same time, rang out.

You really gave us a hard time finding us.

Another 'sound' that was not a sound followed the previous one.

"Haha, overstepping your bounds? You want me to follow your rules?"

This is the voice of the will of destruction.

"You know what I mean."

Don't try to change the subject. How are you going to settle the score for taking that child away from us?

"Why do you say it as if Jiaye belongs to you? It's obvious that you two are just latecomers."

["[In this life, his belongs to us]"]

We are not only latecomers, but also existing ones, and you are just a past tense existence.

"Is the purpose of your coming here just to make me angry?"

"[We demand an explanation, or we won't mind declaring war on you]"

We should have been the ones guiding that child in this life. You should know what your act of snatching someone away means.

"So that's why you've inserted an unknown into his concept?"

[“﹝〈…Wasn’t that what you arranged?”]

"..."

......

【「﹝〈......〉﹞」】

I'll go find other people.

"It's too slow to find them one by one, just pull them all over here."

["Observation can now be concluded"]

Yes.

Volume Three

Chapter 110: The Dark World

About eight years ago, in 2020, the world was still a peaceful world with a population of over eight billion.

However, one day eight years ago, a monster appeared in this world without any warning, and with its terrifying infectious ability, it gained an astonishing number and launched a massive attack on the human world.

Monsters are collectively called gastrula.

It is a creature born from a highly contagious virus that can be transmitted through blood and rewrite the DNA of living things.

The virus is called————Protozoan virus.

Any organism infected with the gastrula virus, whether human or animal, will be transformed into a gastrula at an alarming rate by the virus, becoming a complete monster.

This monster not only possesses terrifying and ferocious power, but can also infect other creatures with the protogastric virus by injecting body fluids into them, turning the infected creatures into protogastrics. It also has a certain degree of regenerative ability.

Human weapons simply cannot easily kill this monster.

Under such circumstances, an extremely terrifying number of protogasters launched a massive attack on the human world eight years ago, triggering a world war.

Naturally, the final result was that humans, who had no means of resistance, suffered a crushing defeat.

As a result, the original population of about 8 billion has dropped sharply, and now only about one-tenth of the original population remains.

Eighty percent of the territory where humans who once ruled the world lived was taken away by the gastrulae. The remaining area was home to the remaining one-tenth of humans, who, facing an almost desperate gap, engaged in a long tug-of-war with the gastrulae for nine years.

The giant black stone tablets standing around the city are what protect the last remaining areas of human survival and prevent humanity from complete extinction.

A giant metal stele made of a jet-black metal called "錵" that can release a special weak magnetic field that has the ability to weaken the activity of the protostomes virus, making the protostomes lose their regenerative ability and make them instinctively stay away from it - the "Monolith".

It was precisely because of the discovery that this metal could disable the protostomes' terrifying regenerative ability that humans became able to fight them. "Monoliths" made of large amounts of iron were erected around the remaining human lands, isolating the protostomes with the magnetic field released by the iron, allowing humans to survive.

Even so, humans can only hide in the place where the "Monolith" exists and survive. They still dream of regaining the lost land in the future, but they are unable to do anything about the astonishing number and strength of the protostomes.

Eight years have passed, and humanity has found its last hope against monsters thanks to the power of the "Cursed Children," girls who were infected with the protozoan virus during their embryonic period and have gained the power to control the virus. However, the pain of the past has created an unbridgeable generation gap between humans and these girls.

The people who deal with the existence of protostomes among humans are called 'police' - 'civilian security companies'. They are civilian organizations that specialize in handling matters related to protostomes. Their main job is to eliminate protostomes that break into human settlements from outside. Most of them are partners in pairs, usually consisting of a human promoter and an initiator of the cursed children.

However, this is a hopeless world. People live in an environment where they don't know when they will be killed by gastrulae. Most of their conscience has been lost in their hearts.

The girls known as the Cursed Children, humanity's last hope against the gastrula, were not called heroes, but the exact opposite—monsters.

Because they possess the power of protogasters, humans arbitrarily treat them as protogasters to vent their hatred, stress and fear.

Even though, without them, humanity would have lost all hope long ago.

This is a world filled with the darkness and despair of human nature.

After digesting the common sense about this world given by the system, as well as his own identity and memories in this world, Jia Ye slowly opened his beautiful eyes that seemed to be flickering with flames, without any emotion or fluctuation in his eyes.

At the same time, a task template with specific content popped up in his mind.

......

【Task Template】

Main Quest: "Zodiac"—A collective term for the highest-level, Stage V protogasters. These terrifying monsters surpass Stage IV classification. During the Protogaster War, the United States and Japan assigned them the zodiac signs as temporary code names, but they are now commonly referred to. Eleven of these creatures have been sighted worldwide. They demonstrated terrifying power during the war eight years ago, bringing humanity to the brink of extinction.

However, the truth behind every terrifying thing is often disgusting. Your task is to find and purify all the "zodiacs". Under this premise, you can act as you wish.

Mission Rewards: For each Zodiac purified, you will receive 2500 points for flowers and 4000 points for leaves [0/9] (Also: After successfully purifying the first Zodiac, you will receive a random B+-level item. After purifying all Zodiacs, you will receive a random A-level item.)

----

Branch Mission 1: Qixing Village, a name deliberately erased from maps and history by humans. It symbolizes human sin and is the source of all tragedies and misfortunes.

As the sole survivor of the Seven Star Village, you know all the secrets buried by humanity in history. Revenge is the only driving force that has kept you going. Now, you have the power to shake this foolish race. It's time to make them feel your pain.

Experience the feeling of going from being the savior of humanity to the destroyer, and completely exterminate the humans who are lingering in this world.

Mission content: Try to destroy the humanity of this world while maintaining restraint.

Mission Rewards: Four types of reinforcement materials, 700 points for each flower and 2000 points for each leaf.

----

Branch Mission 2: They are clearly the last hope given by God to mankind in this doomsday, but they were abandoned by their parents at birth and suffered all kinds of abuse and insults in the process of growing up. Shouldn't they be born into this world?

No, it’s not their fault, but those stupid humans!

Even though they have suffered all kinds of unfair treatment, they still go to the front line to face those horrible monsters for the sake of humanity. For such angels, since humans spit on and reject them, it is up to you to give them the warmth and care that they deserve.

Mission content: Build a shelter for cursed children, a home that belongs only to those children.

Mission Rewards: Unlock the [Home] template, 5000 flower points, and 10000 leaf points. (Note: During the mission, the [Home] template preview function will be enabled, and 70% of the total reward points and leaves will be prepaid. However, these points and leaves can only be used within this mission. Otherwise, even if the mission fails, the points and leaves spent will be owed.)

----

Restricted Mission: You cannot use abilities beyond common sense. Completion Reward: ??? (Based on your performance in the mission, settled after completing the main mission)

......

After browsing all the content, Jia Ye was silent for a while, then sighed softly.

Is he sighing that he had to change from being a Master who saved humanity to an executioner who destroyed humanity?

No, what he was thinking about at the moment was just——

"If there weren't these missions, I could have just dropped a few antimatter collapse bombs on this world."

Whispering softly, Jia Ye turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the window.

It is hard to imagine that the sky at the end of the world would be so clear. No, perhaps it is precisely because it is the end of the world that the human population has been drastically reduced and the frequency of air pollution has decreased, so the sky may be so clear.

However, under this beautiful sky, there are many innocent victims and even more perpetrators who do not deserve to survive.

Perhaps, among those perpetrators, there are many who do not deserve the death penalty or are even innocent, but as Jiaye once said to Joyce: There may be a few grains of delicious rice in a bowl of unpalatable rice, but this does not prevent him from pouring out the whole bowl of rice and cooking a new pot.

However, since the mission requires it, let's help those children. Although it is troublesome, it is worth it for the sake of the mission reward.

[Gaya, be careful, your tsundere nature may ruin your life.]

Ge Jiuye's complaints came the moment Jia Ye finished thinking about this.

【The meaning is unclear and cannot be understood.】

As for this, Jiaye chose to ignore it.

[Okay, okay. By the way, you have some initial points in your system. Do you want to draw a few cards and buy some things?]

Shrugging his shoulders, Ge Jiuye helped Jiaye call up the system's mall and lottery interface, then pointed to the '500 points·Flowers' and '8500 points·Leaves (7000 is the overdraft value)' displayed on it and reminded him.

[Although there are restrictions that prevent you from using abilities that exceed common sense, it's fine as long as you can hit this point.]

【How did you know? 】

[Because we have already disassembled this system and studied it.]

Ge Jiuye said confidently.

Hearing this, a drop of sweat quietly slid down Jia Ye's forehead.

If my cheap sister knew about this, she would be furious...

【Then it would be best to die of anger. 】

With a light hum, Ge Jiuye continued to operate something on the interface. Then, the mall interface, which was originally full of dazzling things with a lot of strange things such as "super-dimensional physique", "super-dimensional skills", "super-dimensional weapons", etc., suddenly became a lot simpler.

[These are the things we've selected for you that are most suitable for you at the moment, but we're just giving you suggestions. It's up to you to decide what to change.]

[Superpower Awakening (Awakening superpowers, although not necessarily the strongest, but definitely the most suitable for you): 500 points · Leaf]

〖All Weapons (Master all weapons, even if you've never used them before. Just by holding them, you can instantly learn how to use them and their techniques): 300 points. Leaf (PS: Although this is a relatively advanced ability, with more time, you can master it even without exchanging it, so the price is reduced)〗

Daily Life Skills Mastery (As the name suggests, this allows you to gain experience and knowledge in life skills like cooking, housework, driving, and storytelling): 220 points/leaf (Since you've already mastered most of these, the price has been reduced)
