Volume 1 Chapter 39: Despair

By the time Mr. Zero arrived in the town, everything had been annihilated in the anomaly.

All that had been a thriving—well, at least pre-plague populated town—was the outermost ring with a few remnants of the foundations of the buildings, and the huge black ball floating in the center was still devouring everything around it—including the air—as he noticed that a strong wind seemed to be blowing towards the center in all directions.

“...... Even Starfall is no more than that size. ”

It is said that seeing something too large always causes paranoia of victimization in the fragile minds of human beings, making them feel extremely small. But it seems to be true, and what is in front of you is enough to make anyone feel like dust.

The monster, whose body diameter is about the same as the diameter of the town, never gets enough, and it eats everything it can eat while growing rapidly.

"If you leave it alone, will it always grow?" but considering it's the opposite of that girl, it's not surprising that it's the intensity......" Mr. Zero mused.

"What are you going to do?" he said suddenly, in another direction.

“...... It's you. An old man crept into view, "I've only just come here." ”

"Because I remember that the Kabbalah family seems to have a stronghold near here. Mr. Zero said slightly ambiguously.

"Yes. I am the ...... of the Tree of Life."

"I don't care. He looked down indifferently: "I just want to know what you can contribute to this disaster." ”

"......" The old man was silent for a while, then lowered his head slightly and said, "This disaster is so sudden, we don't have any sign of predicting it at all. We weren't prepared for it, so ......"

"Forget it. I didn't have much hope. It's all my business. It always has been. Mr. Zero didn't seem surprised, his face was flat and there was no anger at all, but he "expected it a long time ago".

"No, Mr. Zero, of course you can look down on me, but ......" the old man's voice was slightly stuck.

However, when he looked up again, Mr. Zero had gradually approached the pitch-black devouring orb, and he had stopped paying attention to it.

“...... But we're not waste. The old man whispered to himself, clutching his cane tightly, and his thin palm, which had been bruised by too much force, seemed to be bleeding.

Only when you really face this person will you understand what the teacher said, "that kind of desperate arrogance".

Those who study mysteries, after a lifetime of hard study and cultivation, even if they approach the end of the path and move mountains and seas between raising their hands, they are like gods in the world, they can't deal with monsters at this level.

Mr. Zero, how did a person like him get such ability?

After the end of the road...... Is there really another side?

I don't know if people from other mystical systems will notice this, and how will they react?

The ascetic-looking old man stared at the black hole that was still expanding rapidly for a long time before leaving.

......

"Hopeless arrogance. "Mr. Zero stood on the edge of the Black Ball of Annihilation, and was about to cross the border as the other party expanded.

"But it's the arrogance of despair. Mr. Zero was also whispering to himself, but he didn't know what he meant.

The black hole swallowed him.

But from his point of view, it was black sliding on both sides, like the view of the saints parting the sea.

But as time passed, sheer destruction squeezed the space he was in.

Feeling the tingling sensation of the power of annihilation flowing through his body, "Sure enough, the resistance to the anomaly is active again...... Well, it's not a good thing, it's not a bad thing. He said.

So he dived deeper.

"Do you have to find the girl in your dreams...... The opposite of creation is destruction. But who knows if she 'created' it out of her whims......"

There seems to be no concept of time here. Mr. Zero took out his pocket watch, which disappeared into darkness after a few seconds, but he came to the conclusion that he had come to this conclusion.

It's better to say that the timeline has also been "annihilated".

"I don't think it's that far...... Is it just that the progress of time has been shattered......"

Mr. Zero shook his head, expressing regret for his destroyed pocket watch. "It's a pity, it's a very good anomaly...... The Second of Sustainability...... Although stealing a second is short, it can be extremely useful in some special situations. ”

But anomalies are always harmful, and maybe that's not a bad thing.

Harm others and yourself, absorb the time of others, and with the arrival of the backlash, your own time will also be lost.

Mr. Zero kept moving forward, but in the darkness, he didn't know where to go, and he didn't know what time it was.

It's just going to keep going.

But this feeling is not so unfamiliar, the last time I met a god, didn't I also pass through such an immeasurable place of time and space?

And the sheer destruction here is better than the horrors of that time.

However, resistance is not immunity after all.

The forces of destruction were encroaching on his existence.

The skin seems to be worn away.

The flesh seems to be being cut with a knife.

Is that so? He didn't know.

Maybe it's the bones that are also lost, but it's just that their own souls are running endlessly?

Perhaps because of the loneliness again, such thoughts flashed through his mind.

I don't know how long it's been outside. If it takes too long, the world will already be destroyed.

At the end of the day, I really can't trust others.

"Oh, I wish you were stronger. If only the world was full of people who were stronger than me. This is what he expects from the "waste".

"I'm also studying mysterious ......"

It is because he understands the power of God better than anyone else that he is more desperate than anyone else.

I have wanted to end this cycle countless times, to stop this constant death and rebirth. But God's power is irreversible.

How can we find a way to fight God?

How can we reset the world this time...... Becoming the last time?

"Probably not at all. ”

There was probably still a long way to go inside the monster, and he had gained countless hours of crankiness, and again, and again.

In this eternal moment, he really couldn't tell whether he was Mr. Zero or Zero.

"Have you noticed that you are getting farther and farther away from humanity again? He pointed fingers at himself.

"But there's no way around it...... Human nature is too weak, only divinity...... Only by getting close to the divinity can we exert greater power in this most critical calamity, and deal with everything almost perfectly like a god. He defended himself.

He's been talking to himself. It doesn't necessarily make any sense, after all, there are no answers to these questions, and no matter how much they are discussed, the result is just a complete closed loop over and over again, and the cycle is just nonsense.

But at least it can make sure that you don't go crazy.

Mr. Zero, who has lost his sense of time and space, does not feel hopeless.

On the one hand, it's habit, but on the other hand, he can be regarded as knowing the child in countless changes and resets.

"If it's her...... Eventually, there will be a pathway to where she is. ”

"It's like a princess waiting for the knight to come to the rescue, haha. It's really a fantasy full of little girl's breath. ”

"And the dragon ...... It is the dregs of power left behind by the reckless God, and it will bring disaster to the world. ”

"Everything will only come from the gods. ”

Mr. Zero smiled as usual.

......

He arrived.

The end of everything black, the pure white singularity.

Through that touch of pure white.

What appears is-
