Their commission was suspicious.

I definitely have to work.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Dr. Einstein couldn't help but feel despair.

But then another glimmer of hope slowly appeared...

Or rather... a black spot?

Faced with the two different choices before him, and glancing at the people disappearing around him, Einstein made his choice.

Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?

yes or yes

Honestly, does this really give people the right to choose?

“Probably not? And we didn’t have a choice, did we?” Einstein said, looking at his friend beside him.

“No, for you, these aren’t the only two options. You can also choose to be a guest, but only if you’re willing to give up the opportunity to pursue the ultimate truth of the universe.” Spassy said, looking at the devastation before him with his hands behind his back.

"I never expected it to be you." Einstein's expression was complicated.

Two days after the New Year's Eve party, Spassy passed away peacefully under Su's watchful eye, and then became Chen Luo's employee.

Chen Luo had once given Spassy a choice, and Spassy chose to become an adventurer in the park without hesitation, since his wife and daughters had done the same.

This time, Spasi was the messenger from the Mu continent, responsible for communicating with Einstein.

The communication went very smoothly.

When Einstein arrived at the Sea of ​​Quanta with Mu, he already knew a great deal.

Or rather, the same applies to everyone who comes to the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Faced with the choice between "struggling to survive in this world for half a century and then going to Paradise" and "going to Paradise now and being reborn to enjoy it sooner," the vast majority of people chose the latter without hesitation.

The remaining small portion perished beneath the simulated black hole.

Life in the pre-civilization era was too oppressive, and the black hole created by the Ninth Herrscher was simply unimaginable. After such a profound shock to their worldview, facing a future with no future, isn't the choice clear?

“I didn’t expect it to be me either. But after looking around carefully, it seems that I’m the only person you know,” Spassy said helplessly.

After all, apart from himself, who was completely free of constraints, had a prized disciple to inherit his mantle, and only wanted to visit his wife and daughter, all the other acquaintances were still living well in the previous civilization.

Blanca, Desdobia, and others who should have died are still alive and well. They don't want to die, so they won't die.

It wasn't until the time of the 11th Herrscher that these familiar faces were harvested in large numbers, because after the 11th Herrscher, the previous civilization was truly no longer suitable for humans to continue living.

"What will happen to this continent after I leave? What will happen to the armed puppets?" Einstein asked.

As the chief designer of the Armed Doll Project, Einstein was naturally very concerned about this.

Ordinary people have indeed come into contact with doll-like markings to some extent, but can armed dolls really use doll-like markings?

"We will go to Paradise, where there is an undamaged continent called Mu. Although its technology is lagging behind for a while, it can quickly leap to the Star Age if it wants to develop, although it is somewhat difficult and thankless."

"This extra Mu Continent will be swallowed up by Chen Luo and placed in the Paradise, existing as a unique floating island for sightseeing. Because there is no need for two Mu Continents on Earth."

"As for the dolls... No way, no way, are you worried that a puppeteer might be too harsh on the dolls?" Spassy almost burst out laughing.

"It seems that's true. It looks like I was overthinking it." Considering that Chen Luo, as a puppeteer, was even more popular with armed puppets than he was in the previous civilization, Einstein did realize that he might have been worrying too much.

“The Paradise is a paradise for puppets. Compared to ordinary people, the biggest advantage of armed puppets is that they can enter the Paradise without going through the process of becoming puppets. Therefore, they don't need to choose their future; they only need to connect to the group network, and then they can move freely within the Paradise. This Mu Continent will also serve as the base for armed puppets, accommodating various puppets that may come to the Paradise in the future,” Spasi said.

"I see, then I can rest assured." Einstein breathed a final sigh of relief.

"So, are you planning to join the glorious evolution, go to the Honkai Impact 3rd civilization to retire, or go to the new world to build Earth? With your lifespan as a Fusion Warrior, living for tens of thousands of years would be a piece of cake."

"Of course...we'll take a look first." After saying that, Einstein chose "or" from the "yes or yes" options.

Since Chen Luo has given him the right to choose, Einstein should of course use it.

Although Einstein did gain some understanding of the amusement park through the knowledge conveyed by the semi-doll, it wasn't enough. Einstein wanted to experience it for himself.

After all, this is related to the freedom of the rest of his life.

When Einstein clicked the "or" button, the panel in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a leaf wrapped in a bubble fell out and slowly drifted down until Einstein caught the green leaf.

"The leaves of the World Tree? Hmm, I think I understand. It seems Chen Luo wants you to visit the park before making a decision."

According to the principle of mutual generation and restraint, the leaves of the World Tree growing in the Paradise are the only ones that can resist the progress of the puppet world's puppetization.

Otherwise, beings like Einstein, who are only souls and not puppets, would undergo soul puppetization upon entering the puppet world, which is essentially irreversible.

Watching the humans disappear one by one on the Mu Continent, Einstein glanced at them longingly before swiftly heading towards the teleportation portal that had appeared beside Spassy.

Within ten seconds of Einstein leaving, the vast continent of Mu was deserted, leaving only bewildered armed puppets staring blankly at the land.

Then, a huge void once again enveloped the sky above the Mu Continent. The huge void did not exert any suction force, but it swallowed the entire Mu Continent, which was drifting in the Sea of ​​Quanta, in an incredibly fast manner.

Within that void were countless stars.

……

After a brief moment of distraction, Einstein spotted Chen Luo working under a small tree.

"You're here? Please make yourself at home." Chen Luo's body was semi-transparent; only his soul remained within the paradise.

"What are you doing?" Einstein asked as he walked up to Chen Luo.

“Turning all the people of the Mu Continent into puppets is not a simple matter. While the billions of people on the Mu Continent are being transformed into puppets, they are also frantically consuming the magic power in the group network. And while I am allocating magic power, I am also assigning mentors to the newcomers who have just entered the Paradise.” Chen Luo said, biting his thumb.

Mu Continent was the most prosperous continent in the pre-civilization era.

In Asia, the largest continent in Chen Luo's world, there are 49 billion people living.

Although the population of Mu Continent is not as concentrated as that of Asia, and a large number of people died beforehand and entered Paradise, the sudden influx of nearly 20 billion people into Paradise did indeed put a considerable burden on the group network.

However, similarly, the capacity, processing speed, and computational load of group networks built on the basis of puppets are also rapidly expanding.

Chen Luo's fainting was indeed not real, but in order to allow Chen Luo to focus on increasing the capacity of the group network and rationally arranging the group network architecture, Chen Luo could no longer be distracted by external matters, and fainting was the best solution.

“Oh, my mentor?” Einstein became interested.

"Yes, in the Paradise, newcomers are assigned a mentor after joining. After completing tasks, both newcomers and mentors receive extra rewards. Even though you haven't fully joined the Paradise, you can still choose a mentor." Chen Luo kept his eyes glued to the rapidly expanding group network panel in front of him, his hands never stopping, while also not leaving Einstein aside.

"Who is my mentor? Spacy?"

"...No, it's Sirin."

"Oh...who?!"

"It's Sirin." Sirin appeared in front of everyone with a "poof".

"..." Einstein's eyes were somewhat dazed and filled with disbelief.

Einstein met Sirin in The Moth of Flame; back then, Einstein would often tease little Sirin...

But now... you're letting an armed puppet be the mentor of the chief designer of armed puppets?

Isn't this going against the natural order of things?

[How is this any different from having Warfarin mentor Kal'tsit to accelerate her skill mastery?]

“Honestly, I want to die. Do you believe me?” Einstein said earnestly.

"Yes, I believe you." Chen Luo nodded.

But so what? Could Chen Luo refuse Xiao Xilin's offer to volunteer? Of course not.

So what if he dies? Chen Luo has a resurrection spell.

"Then give me a different tutor."

"Let Celine be your mentor, and the apprentice reward will be increased tenfold."

"..." Einstein hesitated.

Clearly, Einstein was tempted.

Chapter 1990 Kosmo: Losing my beloved, surrounded by ruins... Man-made collapse!

"We won, but we also lost." That was Hua's answer to Chen Luo when he woke up.

Vilvi, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement.

Ultimately, Vervi failed to carry Chen Luo back to her dormitory as she had hoped, because as soon as she stepped out of the command room, she saw Hua waiting outside...

"Oh, what exactly happened?" Chen Luo asked after he sat up.

Chen Luo hadn't really paid much attention to how the outside world was fighting.

Chen Luo had already exhausted most of his attention by trying his best to welcome the new adventurers in the park.

Admittedly, even with the combined power of 20 billion ordinary people, they still couldn't defeat Chen Luo. However, Chen Luo's transformation of them into puppets, or roughly equivalent to transforming them into a familiar...

Although the power of dollification, which had long been buried in the physical bodies of those people, was helping, many Paradise adventurers who had not yet completed their dollification had already lost their physical bodies before the Mu Continent was sunk into the Quantum Sea. Therefore, they needed a lot of magic power to reshape their bodies... and various accidents occurred during the process. As a result, converting 20 billion Familias in just a few minutes still made Chen Luo's brain almost explode.

Creation is always harder than destruction.

Fortunately, Chen Luo had stockpiled a lot of supplies and magic prisms in advance, otherwise Chen Luo would not have been able to do more than just pretend to be unconscious.

However, it is undeniable that Chen Luo also benefited greatly.

For example, with the assistance of over 20 billion adventurers in the amusement park, Chen Luo's current group network is already able to accommodate at least three of his SSS-level talents.

Moreover, as the nearly 20 billion rookie adventurers in the amusement park undergo various methods such as fusion surgery, soul materialization, becoming magical girls, and consuming amusement park coins to strengthen their spirit and soul, the group network will once again experience a rapid growth.

The group network is closely related to the mental power of Chen Luo's puppet, and they grow together.

As a puppeteer who can mobilize the power of all puppets, Chen Luo's explosive power has also increased to a terrifying level.

With the combination of a large network and the true form of the River God, even without 95% of Eucliwood's magic power, Chen Luo could still easily defeat Pleasure and Destruction!

Chen Luo acknowledged that the Star God, a collection of highly philosophical concepts, was somewhat similar to the principle of the circle, something that ordinary people were destined to be unable to resist. However, Chen Luo was not without such highly conceptualized abilities.

On the contrary, Chen Luo has 4!

……

Chen Luo listened quietly as the tactical master, Wilvie, recounted the events surrounding the Ninth Herrscher War.

"Fortunately, Kevin and the others did not enter the Mu Continent before the simulated black hole swallowed it, otherwise they would have been exiled as well."

"After the Mu Continent was swallowed by the simulated black hole, some corners and edges were left, and they fought in those corners and edges."

"The Ninth Herrscher's excessive use of his powers in a short period of time resulted in a record that no other Herrscher could match, but it also left him somewhat weakened."

"I can't recount the details of the battle, and you probably aren't interested anyway, so I'll just focus on the key points."

"In this battle, there are only a few key moments that are truly decisive."

"One of them is that the numerous fusion warriors are fighting recklessly, continuing to deplete the power of the Ninth Herrscher."

"Secondly, the Paradise Gold Coin bullets played a crucial role, because the restraint of the other fusion warriors gave Destobia the opportunity to shoot... The Paradise Gold Coins were made into two bullets, one was a normal bullet for Sakura, and the other was a flying needle for Destobia."

"Desdovia, who possesses telekinesis, used her needle-shaped Paradise Coin bullets to shoot at the Ninth Herrscher without making a sound, making it extremely stealthy. Moreover, its speed was no less than that of ordinary high-powered firearms. Although it was still distorted by the gravitational waves that the Ninth Herrscher constantly placed around her, the telekinetic energy carrying the flying needles could correct its trajectory, and it still hit the opponent's leg."

"Although hitting the torso is not as effective as hitting the forehead, it still stunned the Ninth Herrscher for a moment and caused her to attack herself. This shows that the [Destroy Herrscher] command etched inside the Paradise Gold Bullet did indeed work. During the time the command was in effect, the Fusion Warriors, including Kevin, Kosmo, and Hen, successfully broke through the Ninth Herrscher's gravity barrier."

"This created an excellent opportunity for Sakura's second Paradise Bullet. Before the Ninth Herrscher, who had quickly regained consciousness after a one-second interval, could rebuild the gravity barrier, the bullet accurately hit the Ninth Herrscher's forehead, creating a three-second period of strong control. This also allowed many Fusion Warriors to severely injure the Ninth Herrscher."

"Although both Paradise Gold Coin bullets were used up, it greatly reduced the potential losses of the Fusion Warriors. The Ninth Herrscher, who was already in poor condition, fell to the hands of many Fusion Warriors after being seriously injured."

"It may sound monotonous, but you can imagine how brutal the actual battlefield is." Chen Luo's voice was not relaxed.

"..." Wilvi shrugged helplessly at Hua.

Vervier had only spoken so lightly so that Chen Luo wouldn't have too much of a trauma from the battlefield, since Chen Luo was just a logistics staff member. But it seems that Chen Luo was aware of this.

“Since you’re already prepared, let me tell you something a little harsher,” Wilvi sighed.

"Something crueler? Like?"

"For example, after both Paradise Gold Coin bullets hit their mark, out of a desire for revenge, the Ninth Herrscher, despite being severely injured, still launched an attack on Destobia, who was not far away and was controlling a Soul Steel weapon to launch a long-range attack. He created a small black hole, which smashed the entire building, including Destobia... The building was already half gone, so the structure was not very stable. Now Destobia's fate is unknown."

Although many fusion warriors perished in this battle, and even the entire Mu Continent was sacrificed, for Chen Luo, those were all too distant.

Desdovia, on the other hand, was a fusion warrior personally trained by Chen Luo.

Humans are emotional beings. No matter how rational we are, we will pay more attention to our friends than to others.

No?

To outsiders, Chen Luo's heartbreak at witnessing the entire Mu Continent being swallowed by the black hole created by the Ninth Herrscher might have caused him to faint, but upon hearing the devastating news about Desdovia, he might also have accidentally fainted.

So now, both Wilvi and Hua are watching Chen Luo nervously, afraid that he will faint again.
