I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

But...what's the cost?

"Ahem, you are still too arrogant. Not everyone regards strength as everything like you do."

Feeling the constant pain brought by the body being constantly swallowed by a twisted force.

Tao coughed up a few mouthfuls of black blood, and a hideous but relieved smile appeared at the corners of his dry mouth. His golden eyes, which were filled with brutality and killing, also showed a touch of tenderness and expectation that had not appeared for a long time.

“Almost…almost.”

"It won't be long before everyone can come back, right?"

"Shu, Xi, Nian, Ling, Wang, Ji, Shuo, Second Sister, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother and Jie..."

"I'm really looking forward to your free and unfettered future."

"Although... as your elder and younger sister, it seems that I may not be able to see it."

"But I won, everyone. I love you."

The body that was on the verge of collapse due to the heavy burden could not even support the "Tie" that had accompanied Tao in battles for hundreds of years, and fell heavily to the ground.

But the badly-broken Tao looked at the twelve powers in her hands that were pregnant with different consciousnesses. She finally smiled with relief, and then crushed the heart that became the heart of the giant beast, and actively expelled those powers from her body.

Let them go freely to any place in this world without any constraints.

Although the authorities seemed to hesitate for a moment before leaving due to their hazy consciousness, they finally followed their instincts and went their separate ways just like they had done thousands of years ago.

Tao looked at the last wisp of blue and gold that disappeared, his eyes gradually becoming lifeless. His golden eyes that had lost their brilliance looked at the beautiful sky where the bright stars and dawn were intertwined, and he murmured weakly unconsciously,

"What a beauty……"

Murmuring, Tao unconsciously stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch the starry sky.

But her vision began to become blurry and flickering from time to time, as if the TV had lost its frame, or like a candle that was about to burn out and would go out at any time.

"I really want to see this scene with you all."

The afterglow of the brilliant starry sky flickers in the world of Dayan. The stars are twinkling, as if countless dreams and futures are burning in the darkness, illuminating the endless night. The rising dawn brings a faint light and soft morning glow, interweaving with the remaining beauty of the starry sky, passing through the clouds, outlining a beautiful arc for the horizon, heralding that a beautiful day is about to begin.

How beautiful this scene is, as if foreshadowing a bright future and hope.

Tao just lay on the ground made of blood, watching all this quietly, with bits and pieces of the past flashing before his eyes unconsciously.

I vaguely remember the initial pain yesterday, but the joy of being accepted is unforgettable.

I still remember that when my eldest brother Shuo was practicing martial arts, he broke my sixth brother's rice jar, so he asked me to buy a new one from a town outside the mountain to cover up his mistake.

I couldn't help but think of the scene where Wang pretended not to care after losing to me, but was actually studying hard by lamplight. I didn't know that I had already seen through his tactics, or I deliberately made a wrong move to let the opponent win narrowly, and the opponent's secretly revealed smile of satisfaction.

The scene where Xi accidentally spilled ink on his head and sat on the ground at a loss with tears in his eyes seemed to have happened just yesterday.

There was also Shu who fed him, Ji who made clothes for him, Nian who taught him to forge iron, Ling who tricked him into drinking and then was chased by Shu and hit on the head...

Tao recalled many things and past events.

Suddenly I realized that I have been through so much with you all without realizing it.

But it was not in vain that she came to this world.

I just wonder if they will still remember me after I disappear completely?

And will anyone put clothes on Brother Shuo when he stands on the city wall?

Will there be anyone to play chess with Wang?

And is there anyone to take care of her when Jie Mang is in power?

Will Ling get drunk again and never wake up? Will Shu work too hard and forget about himself? Will Nian eat too much chili and run around everywhere without paying attention to the family? Will Xi become reluctant to go out again?

……

Tao suddenly found that she seemed to have too many "stills", she seemed to be worried about too much, and found that she seemed to have many regrets that had not been fulfilled.

But...it seems so.

After all, I am both the eldest sister and the youngest sister. After fulfilling my obligation to protect the former, I naturally want to fulfill my obligation to accompany the latter, right?

It’s a pity that I can’t seem to do it.

However, at least in the end, I am considered a qualified elder sister.

I should also have the responsibility as a sister to protect myself well...

As he thought so, Tao's body lay quietly on the blood-stained and filthy ground, his shining silver hair stained with blood scattered on the ground. His eyes had completely lost their luster, and his chest, which had been rising and falling weakly, also lost its last beat.

Death is like the coming of night, taking away the traces of time but leaving behind the quiet beauty.

Her life, or rather her consciousness, finally came to an end at this moment, just like the years before. She brought with her the satisfaction of being the eldest sister and the regret of being the youngest sister. She was like a quiet statue, freezing her life here.

Just as loneliness was born into the world, Tao will leave alone.

But on this battlefield where there will no longer be life and flowers will no longer bloom, her departure is no longer as meaningless as her birth.

Instead, he used that unfortunate yet happy life to practice the path he insisted on and protect the people he loved.

In this way, even if this body is the dark side of the year, we still practice the principle of protection.

As a gluttonous sister, I am satisfied.

The only pity is that I can’t get together with everyone and tell them that I love them…

But it doesn't matter. After all, in the future, in that long period of time, they will eventually meet someone who loves them more and is more worthy of their love.

And Tao has no regrets.

……

[The detection simulation has ended, and the host in the simulation has been confirmed to be dead. ]

[Begin to deduce the subsequent plot and calculate the rewards...]

Chapter 60: Simulation Solution, Rewards, System Mall and Dating~

[The simulation ending has been deduced. 】

[——After your death, your body disintegrated back into the appearance of a giant beast, turning into a skeleton that stood forever on the bloody battlefield that had long been destroyed due to hundreds of years of fighting between you and the old man.

After waking up from the haze, the fragments realized that your plan was successful, but they also found that all traces and memories of your existence in the world had disappeared.

All the fragments are aware of your death. You have exchanged your life for the fragments to no longer have to worry about being bound in this world, nor will they have to worry about disappearing due to death. Their authority will become their anchor in the human world.

As long as the authority is not broken, they will never die in this world.

But what's the price?

You died after completing your plan to replace Sui. Your body remained forever on the bloody battlefield. And because of Sui's curse before his death, your consciousness that had transformed into the spirit of a giant beast was completely shattered.

You have truly disappeared from this world, leaving behind only your own broken memories and cherished moments at the place where the next 'year' is born...

Because the fragments were not aware of this, the twelve fragments worked together for more than a hundred years under the plan of resurrection.

Without sacrificing anyone, Wang simulated the authority of each fragment.

With the help of the fragments temporarily transferring their own authority as a guide, everyone briefly became "years old" at the same time.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not bring you back from the dark side of the age.

But they did not gain nothing.

They found the little things you treasured deep in your heart, found the deepest feelings and memories you once had in your heart, and found the last blank space of your unfortunate yet happy life.

Whether it is the original you, the past you, the you who left, or the you who became 30 years old, everything is displayed in such detail before the fragments for the first time.

Each of them saw the part that belonged to them through the eyes of 'Years'.

After all, each of them is extremely important to you.

After reading these memories, the 'year' that they merged into was split into twelve pieces again, but this time no one's face showed hope for the future.

Since then, the fragments have gone their separate ways and have never been reunited again.

Only occasionally, the Heavenly Master who was monitoring the area of ​​the giant beast's wreckage would see these fragments gathered under the corpse and would not allow anyone to get close.

Some people have thought about entering this scenic area of ​​life to explore, but no one has ever come out alive.

No matter who you are, no matter what time it is, it is the same all year round.

After who knows how many years had passed, several animal skeletons of various shapes appeared in this land of bones, but without exception, they were all surrounding the giant beast that was first obtained.

And after the number of corpses reached thirteen, this world completely disappeared in the vast human world. 】

[Evaluation of this simulation: B (Casting a wide net, the impact is indeed profound, but the impact on Terra is not much. Perhaps you can be a little more extreme next time?)]

[Rating of the Villain’s Development: C+~B (Be more loyal! Damn you! Although everyone has changed because of you, why did you also turn the men astray?! This is not worth it!!!)]

【Comment: This simulation was done well, don't do it again next time! The heroine should be more loyal! She won't let go of the twelve women in the family! The man also wants to get involved! What kind of Terra Succubus are you? !

But... you are really good, you hooked up with so many girls in the Fragment Courtyard at once, keep up the good work next time! 】

[Reward: Originium Skill Enhancement·Behemoth (Your Originium Skill can now cause further mental trauma, and has also received some unexpected enhancements.), Talent: All-round Genius, Fragment Affinity, Distortion Point x400]

[The system mall has been opened. The host can use distortion points to purchase special props and simulation-related content. ]

[The next simulation will be refreshed in one week. ]

【本次模拟结束。】

"Well, it seems that I have to be more focused in the next simulation." After taking a look at the ending, Ikaros was not too sad this time because of the psychological preparation he had done in the first simulation.

After all, the simulation is already perfect.

Besides, isn’t it a happy ending if we are all buried together?

What? This kind of happy ending is not a real happy ending?

Hehe, how is it possible? HE, HE, sometimes it doesn’t just mean a Happy Ending, it can also mean a Hell Ending.

The hell ending is also a kind of HE ending, and it’s just a simulation anyway.

Ekalos felt that the next time he would not even have those last few feelings.

And through this simulation, Ekalos also figured out a pattern. She vaguely discovered that the direction in the simulator is actually related to her own thoughts.

This time she was not as determined as she was in the first simulation to cultivate a villain heroine.

This ultimately led to the emergence of two different cultivation partners, Shu and Ling, in a simulation, and various complicated relationships with a bunch of other fragments.

This ultimately leads to a decrease in the quality of this simulation.

Ekalos felt that he needed to reflect on this. Otherwise, if the next simulation produced such a situation with multiple female protagonists, the evaluation would be further lowered and it would not be worth it.

Her main purpose of running the simulation was to get more rewards.

So let's be a little more extreme next time.

Anyway, the simulation can't interfere with reality, so just go ahead and do it!

"Hehehe~, but let's save the reward for tonight. I have to go on a date with Arturo today, so I have to dress up nicely."

After a brief mental review and quickly figuring out the direction in which he wanted to develop in the future, Ikaros hummed a leisurely tune of his own and jumped off the bed with a somersault.

Walking towards the closet with her cute bare feet, the girl took out the same style of the white dress this season that Arturo had let her try on five years ago but she couldn't buy because of the price.

Paired with shiny white stockings and high heels, she transformed herself into a cute little white swan in front of the mirror.

"We are so cute, but... well, I still need to make some arrangements with Luciana's mother."

"Otherwise, Mother Luciana will be lonely at home alone."

After changing her clothes, Ikaros first admired her own beauty in front of the mirror. From time to time, she lifted her skirt slightly with both hands, to a slightly dangerous degree, or closed her eyes and made a pistol gesture with her hands.

After nodding with satisfaction and admiring herself for being the cutest person in the world, the girl estimated in her mind how long it would take for her date with Arturo.

While arranging the dating process and opportunities to enhance the relationship, as well as how certain "emergencies" that are conducive to enhancing feelings should occur.

Of course, it would be fun to be with Arturo, too.

But Ikaros naturally would not forget to take into account the matter of Luciana's mother who had a broken leg.

After all, he is the second most important person in Ekalos' heart besides Arturo.
