Chapter 37: The Butterfly Effect

(Foreword)

A butterfly flaps its wings,

Roll up a thousand waves.

(Text)

I held my phone tightly in my hand.

"Are you really Xiaoyu? Are you the new 'queen' in 2050? ”

I pointed my mouth at the phone call to ask the future Xiaoyu, but on the other end, she didn't seem to hear my voice at all, and just said to herself:

"Char, listen to me, you came to the Arctic Glacier this time to change the ending of the world line of the A series, but you caused the butterfly effect, which made the ending of the original world line of the A world series move to the ending of the world line of the B series, which led to the outbreak of the 'Alpha War'.

I say this, maybe you don't understand what is the ending of the world line of the A series, and what is the ending of the world line of the B series, right?

In each of the worlds of the island reincarnation, the world where you will discover the truth after finally arriving at the 'Ark', they are all based on the two mummies found on the Arctic glacier on January 19, 2020, which led to the changes in the world line caused by the final ending of human beings being forced to live on the 'Ark', so we call it the World A series world line (also known as the 'Ark' series world line).

And the final ending of the 'Alpha War' caused by the killing of the two mummies on January 15 is called the World B series world line (aka the 'Alpha' world series world line).

And the point of divergence between the world line of the A series and the world line of the B series is this January 15th, starting with the killing of the two mummies.

On the morning of January 15, 2020, you tried to bomb The Y and The X, although they managed to die in the explosion you caused, avoiding the end of the Worldline in the A series.

However, you did not realize that Professor Z, who was also near the snow-capped mountains of the Arctic glacier and detonated the bomb at about the same time as you, found the energy 'Z' crystals of The Y and The X falling on Earth from the deep ice exposed by the explosion at the moment you escaped from the avalanche, and brought it back to your research room.

Five years later, around January 2025, this 'Z' crystal was brought to the United States by Professor 'Z', who had fled China, to be used as an experiment for 'quantum fusion'.

In the 15 years that followed, the experiment provided a theoretical basis and energy source for the development of weapons of mass destruction by the American "Alpha Technologies", enabling it to successfully develop the "Destroyer One".

Then, five years later, on February 17, 2045, Alpha Technologies announced to the world that it had launched Destroyer One.

It took only 3 months to turn the world into a scorched earth and envelop the world in the reign of terror of 'Alpha Technologies'. ”

Xiaoyu said this, and the signal was suddenly interrupted, turning into a piercing "sizzle" sound. I quickly shook my phone and pointed it at the sky again, and after a few minutes, I heard the sound of light rain coming from the other end again:

"Char, listen carefully, my next words are very important, you have to keep them in mind. In order to cut off the chain of this series of tragedies, save the cause and effect of the world line of the B series from the world line of the A series, and reach a future where there are no more tragedies, you must use your own hands to open the door to the 'zero' world while preventing time from correcting. To do this, you must snatch the 'Z' crystal from Professor Z' and destroy all the materials related to it before he escapes to the United States in 2025.

Many of my subordinates and friends have died in the five years of unremitting underground resistance, and now, in the end, there are only two people left standing here, Zhao Xie and me......"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door from the other end of the phone, followed by footsteps, gunshots, and the sound of someone falling to the ground.

Xiaoyu's voice was calm but seemed to be extremely sad, and she continued, "No, I'm the only one left now. ”

She was silent for a while, and then said, "Char, listen, this information was obtained at the expense of all of our lives, so you must listen carefully!" Professor 'Z', who has been working at the University of Science and Technology of China until 2025, has a circular scar on his right arm and you can find him if you find that scar...... And you must take care of Zhou Qiuxian's mobile phone, it ...... It has ...... inside."

"Toot ......"

The call was abruptly disconnected.

"Light rain! Light rain! ”

I kept calling into the phone, but I couldn't hear her again.

I clutched my phone tightly and fell to my knees with a "poof", banging my hands on the ground and screaming loudly.

She...... It should be dead.

I know...... I know.

The future of her died.

It turned out that everything I did was in vain, and I had worked so hard to get here, but what awaited me was a different world full of despair......

Amusing! It's ridiculous!

It's all self-inflicted, it's all caused by me.

As a result, the "Queen" died, Yin Ji died, and the future Xiaoyu and Zhao Xie also died, and they died in this B-series world, and I was the culprit of everything.

"Uh......h Woo......"

I whimpered and felt a backpour in my stomach and began to vomit violently.

Arthur walked up to me briskly and slapped me in the face.

"Char, I remember you once said, 'If the world is the one who decides our life and death, then let me kill the world and recreate an ending where none of us will die.'"

Didn't you say you were going to kill the world?! Didn't you say you were going to recreate an ending where none of us would die?! So what's wrong with you now?! So now you're throwing in the towel?

Have you forgotten? The future 'queen', the future Xiaoyu, she and Zhao Xie exchanged their lives for this information! Do you want them to die in vain? Do you want to watch us die in front of you one by one again?

I have nothing to say if you want, but if you don't want to, then please fulfill your vows, no matter how many times, no matter how many years, no matter how much pain you have suffered, you must stand up and persevere.

Because of all of us, you alone, and you alone, is our only hope. You can kill worlds, and you can create worlds! ”

"Hehehehehehe......"

I clenched my fists.

"Hehehehehehe......"

I laughed again.

"Arthur, you're right."

I pulled my bangs above my head, revealing my shiny forehead.

I slowly stood up and lifted my head into the vast sky.

"No matter how many times, no matter how many years, no matter how much pain I have suffered, I should persevere.

I, Char, solemnly swear to this sky again: if the world determines our life and death, then let me kill the world and recreate an ending where none of us will die.

Until then, I'm not going to lose, I'm never going to lose. ”

Arthur looked at me.

Xiaoyu and the gnome also looked at me.

They hugged my body together, laughed affirmatively, and couldn't hold back their tears.

At that time, I didn't know why the sky was lit up with rainbows.

At that time, I didn't know why I cried together.

At that time, the only thing I probably knew was the temperature that came when I was holding me, it was so warm, it scalded my heart, burned my heart, supported my soul, and allowed me to ...... desperately Pounce on the fire, again and again...... until it is reduced to ashes.
