Chapter 38: Approaching the end

Forseth didn't know how she had managed to hold on.
Anyway, when she regained her clarity, she found herself walking down an unfamiliar street, surrounded by bustling traffic and the hustle and bustle of people going about their business.
This made her a little stunned, looking around in confusion, and after realizing what was happening, she felt a chill down her spine, and her pupils shrank to the size of pinholes!
If she woke up from a coma and found herself lying on a cold wooden floor or in a hospital bed, that would be understandable. But finding herself walking on unfamiliar streets, what on earth was happening? Could it be that her body was also walking like a lifeless corpse?
Just this scary association is enough to make this lazy writer's hair stand on end, and in an instant, they are completely awakened, with cold hands and feet, feeling like they have fallen into an ice cave.
---What happened? What's the situation?
——自己是出什么问题了，还是被什么神秘力量控制了行动？
如果不是现在光天化日，阳光正好，而且四周人来人往，无形之中就让佛尔思倍感安心，她估计要吓得腿软走不动路。
Of course, she also subconsciously stopped walking, nervously looking around at the unfamiliar street scene, while feeling uneasy and lost in her thoughts.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and Valor started trying hard to think and rack her brains, desperately trying to recall what had happened to her during this period of time.
However...
Can't remember, completely can't remember, she only remembers that she procrastinated for too long, and now she's worried about missing the deadline. So she stayed up late working on her essay, feeling the ideas flowing like a gushing spring, when suddenly there was a burst of light outside, turning the night into day... And then the moon disappeared, and reappeared as a blood moon, without any regard for fair play.
The murmurs of the full moon followed.
In an instant, she was on the brink of losing control, suffering to the extreme.
No one could help her, and in the end, alone at home, it seemed she couldn't bear the pain, couldn't withstand the madness and torment brought by those murmurs, and lost consciousness directly...
This is all the memory before "fragmentation", and as for what happened afterwards, Forsyth has no recollection at all. She doesn't know what she went through or how she ended up in this unfamiliar city. But the unknown is often frightening, and she understands that something must have happened to her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain her current situation.
她茫然的打量着四周，街道、建筑、公共设施……
看上去应该是一座小城市。
当然小城市是相对而言的，与贝克兰德那种大都会自然不能相提并论，但是也很热闹。尤其是这大清早的，到处都是惶恐不安的人们，他们纷纷走上了街道，大声讨论着什么，言辞激烈，情绪激动，指手画脚，口沫横飞，似是都正在讨论昨天晚上发生的事情。
Some people believe it to be a miracle...
Others think it could be some astronomical phenomenon...
But many more people are convinced that the end of the world is approaching, and they hold an extremely pessimistic attitude towards it.
“……”
“……”
Volth remained silent, her lips pressed together. She had also heard similar statements, claiming that when the "Great Moon" shifts, a terrible disaster will occur. According to calculations, there were only a few years left until this current "Great Moon" comes to an end... However, in the past, such claims were dismissed with a laugh and nobody took them seriously.
As for now, she is somewhat uncertain.
But at least she can confirm the time; it is from late last night until now, not a long period of time.
Next, after listening carefully for a while and observing the situation, when she saw several copies of the local newspapers, such as "Tingen Morning Post" and "Tingen Honest People's Daily," she finally confirmed where this place is...
Speaking of which, Tingen City is actually quite famous in the Kingdom of Ruen. It is mainly known for its strong academic atmosphere and is renowned as the "City of Universities", even though it is not a big city. Because not only does it have Tingen University and Hwoin University, but also technical schools, law schools, and business schools, making it second only to the capital, Beckland.
Voltaire's nature has also heard of it, after all, she once wanted to come to this "university town" to experience the rich academic atmosphere and provide inspiration for her novel. Of course, now there is no such desire at all, but rather a desire to immediately escape from this city, to escape from the vortex of conspiracy that brought her here.

But... I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?
Forseth frowned tightly, trying hard not to show a mournful expression, his mind in complete disarray.
Just like in the stories I wrote, if an unknown force made a character inexplicably appear somewhere, how could that character easily escape from the past?
Maybe at this moment, someone is staring at themselves, plotting some sinister conspiracy!
— Starting from the plot of her own creation, she suddenly became nervous and anxiously looked around in all directions. Translated:
In a sense, Miss Xianyu, the lazy writer, is not wrong to think that there are indeed people keeping an eye on her.

The various strange phenomena that occurred last night naturally caused great panic. Translation:
Therefore, the situation in Tinggen City has naturally become chaotic.
Many people are frightened, and the talk of doomsday is becoming more and more popular. People started hoarding supplies early in the morning, and several conflicts broke out over the scramble for food and medicine. Public carriages have temporarily stopped running as a result. Klaeun couldn't find a car on his way to work and had to walk all the way. He even helped the police handle a few incidents along the way.
Like phone booths, these places are also crowded, with people squeezed inside and outside to the point of being unable to move. The previously daunting high cost is no longer a barrier at this moment, after all, this is already the fastest communication method that ordinary people can use. Translated content: Like phone booths, these places are also overcrowded, with people squeezed in and out so tightly that there is no room to move. The once intimidating high cost is no longer an obstacle, as this is now the most efficient communication method accessible to the general public.
There are those who report their safety, those who confirm the situation of their loved ones, and even those who try to gather information through connections...
The scene is bustling, with people crowded together. Even those who couldn't make calls desperately squeezed in, hoping to hear some useful information from those who were on the phone.
Kleyn also tried to blend in by using the telephone booth on the street corner and taking advantage of the crowded queue, pretending to be one of the anxious individuals waiting to make a call. In this way, he evaded the watchful gaze of the woman with long brown hair and a cold expression, feeling an indescribable sense of tension in his heart.
Because he recognized the other person, just last night, above the haze, a illusory star reacted strangely. Crean originally thought it was an opportunity for a new member to join.
But, when he was about to send the invitation to join the group, he unexpectedly discovered a terrifying conspiracy.
Klayne witnessed the woman struggling in pain, seemingly fighting against nonexistent hallucinations, on the verge of losing control. Just as the situation was critical, he wanted to pull her above the misty fog to see if he could help her through this ordeal... However, the woman suddenly became calm. She was no longer in agony, without fear, and the signs of losing control ceased.
Only calmness and indifference remain.
It seems that she has received some kind of extraordinary wisdom from those illusory murmurs –
just like a believer receiving divine revelation.
In the next moment, this woman acts coldly, she gestures with emotionlessness, tearing open a "rift" with an incredible force, and disappears into thin air...
But all of this, is being watched by Klaein through the "live streaming". Perhaps because the connection between the medium and the mist is stable enough, perhaps because the position above the mist is particularly high, or perhaps for some other unknown reason, Klaein even sensed the elusive murmurs and extracted key information from those intermittent murmurs. Please make sure to reply to the translated content.
"...open the portal..."
"...welcome... the descent..."
These murmurs, resembling the whispers of a demonic entity, have seized the believers from plotting any dreadful conspiracy. Together with this fragmented information, it truly instills fear and terror. Please note that the translation may not be entirely accurate due to the limited context provided.
Kraien's mind was instantly flooded with countless thoughts and associations. One drawback of being a time traveler in the information age is having an excessively vivid imagination. Because of this, he couldn't fall asleep all night, his mind filled with worries. Ignorance might be bliss in some cases, but once something is known, it becomes a burden. A person with a conscience always ends up carrying unnecessary responsibilities without even realizing it.
Klein was just like that, feeling helpless when discovering a terrifying disaster about to unfold. It was a painful experience.
Although in the Tarot Club, he played the enigmatic "Fool" and was mistakenly believed to possess a hidden revival power, equivalent to that of a deity. However, in reality, this did not change the fact that he was just a weakling at Sequence 9 objectively, at the bottom of the food chain in the extraordinary world.

I can't do anything, can't achieve anything.
He also considered reporting, but he couldn't explain why he knew, and even if it was anonymous, there was a high chance of implicating himself... Furthermore, he wasn't sure if this disaster would definitely happen, when it would happen, and where it would happen. That's where he didn't know how to proceed.
不过幸好的是，他受到良心煎熬的时间不是很长——
就在来上班的路上，克来恩惊看到了那个女性的身影……
她竟然直接出现在廷根了！这意味着什么！
Krean's legs and hands went weak, and his mind blanked out. He tried his best to blend in with the crowd, pretending not to have noticed anything, but he still couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. After a while, he dared to turn slightly and casually glance in the direction where the figure had just disappeared, only to find that it had already vanished.
This time, he finally felt his tense nerves suddenly relax, realizing that his back had been completely soaked in cold sweat.
It is impossible to describe the enormous pressure Kelan experienced just now, as he had initially assumed the opposite 'Miss Salted Fish' to be a high-ranking powerhouse. In the "live stream" on the gray mist, he hadn't had time to figure out Miss Salted Fish's situation before witnessing her effortlessly tearing open space and traversing the spiritual realm. Clearly, this is not something that a low-ranking extraordinary individual can accomplish.
And just now, with just a brief glance, the other person seemed to have sensed something, looking around with an indifferent expression.
In reality, it was Miss Salted Fish forcing herself to hold back her fear and prevent herself from crying out....
At the same time, she anxiously worried that someone was secretly monitoring her, so she subconsciously looked around.
--- In that instant, Kellen dared not even breathe, her heart almost stopped beating.
"Find the captain... Yes, find the captain immediately..."
He struggled to suppress his fear and panic, forcing himself to calm down. Without wasting any more time, he turned around and sprinted, using up almost all of his strength.

The Fallen Mother Goddess has suffered a severe trauma.
As the embodiment of her in the material world, the Moon has been completely erased, which can be considered a devastating blow. However, as the "beginning" itself, directly nurturing and creating, positioned as one of the three pillars at the pinnacle of the ancient times, the Mother Goddess has not lost her ability to act directly. Instead, she has launched a ferocious counterattack, resembling a wrathful mother spider.
The Mother Goddess relied on the authority of a portion of the moon, magnifying it through her own position. She forcefully recreated the moon, then used the stellar portion of the "Mother Nest" source essence to transform the entire moon into a twisted gathering place of demons and a chaotic birthing nest.
The ruler of the dark forces in the entire universe, the mother of all spiritual powers, her anger is palpable, as it brings forth endless military chaos...
They are grotesque and terrifying creatures.
They are a horde that subverts the starry sky.
They are demons that ravage civilizations.
Under the dominion of the "Mother Nest" source, the resurfaced moon becomes a tremendously dreadful biological factory, incubating a world that continuously spews forth the malevolent corrosion which erodes reality. Countless hordes and the shivering cosmic beast constantly emerge from the writhing surface of the moon and the fleshy factory hidden deep within the Earth's crust.
It is only natural for the Fallen Goddess to respond with the utmost ferocity in the face of this situation, just like someone else who encountered a similar problem before. She must display her own power and not reveal any trace of weakness.
Otherwise, once she is perceived to be heavily damaged, the surrounding pack of wolves will sense her weakness and swarm in to feast.
This applies to outsiders as well as to those of the fallen ilk, for the Fallen Goddess of Decay certainly receives no special treatment. Since many foreign deities covet the essence and characteristics of the other two fallen pillars, it is undoubtedly certain that they would not hesitate to consider the list of items dropped by the third fallen pillar. Given such an opportunity, they would certainly not refuse.
"Kenaz" ...
Strange syllables sounded, like a faint whisper that resounded throughout the entire space battlefield.
Regardless of the distance, or the form of perception and life form, everyone could clearly hear these peculiar sounds, as if they echoed from the essence of existence.
It is like a warm sun rising slowly, illuminating the entire galaxy with its radiance. Accompanied by an invisible force, it rapidly spreads, generously showering the battlefield with astonishing vitality and vibrant energy. This rune, derived from the Norse world like Naudhiz, symbolizes strength and healing. It embodies warmth, kindness, strength, healing, and divine wisdom. It is a gentle flame, representing the power of vitality, health, and recovery. Please note that the translation above is a creative interpretation to capture the essence and meaning of the original text.
However, the countless monsters illuminated by the light experienced the cruelest pain and torment, emitting a pitiful howl in unison.
Their figures rapidly disappeared in this warm radiance, completely turning into nothingness...
The so-called "healing" is also situation-dependent. For these extremely distorted negative beings created by the imbalance of the fallen mother goddess's Yin energy, an excessively positive god-level healing technique is undoubtedly extremely lethal. It would disintegrate their vitality at a fundamental level, to the point where it can be described as the most terrifying poison.
However, despite eradicating countless demons in an instant, just like an endless tide, more in number, larger in size, and even with a total volume and mass that undoubtedly surpasses the moon itself, a more intense wave of monsters is about to surge forth from within the moon.
Translated:
Of course, equally fierce strikes await them, and inexplicable massive explosions immediately follow, demolishing everything in their path and completely obliterating the demon horde once again!
The magician no longer stays in the Celestial Fortress and freely roams the space battlefield.
However, leaving the wizard tower does not mean he becomes fragile. On the contrary, he becomes even stronger, which is why he takes the initiative to attack - especially in the eyes of the opponent, this terrifying "sorcerer" is the true devil. Every spell he casts can evaporate countless demons into blood and saltwater, and every thought he has can redefine the state of everything.
As the Nif rune violently tramples upon order and rules, it inflicts horrifying wounds upon the enigmatic body of the outer god;
The incomparable power of vast ideas can unleash a storm capable of engulfing planets with its unpredictable fluctuations of psychic energy;
——Cognition is reality, and lies overwrite "truth", interfering with the potential occurrence of numerous phenomena, manipulating probabilities at will.
Countless demons desperately advance, only able to slightly hinder his progress, often able to only delay for a moment, as they are immediately erased completely, leaving nothing behind... The scene becomes somewhat tragic for a moment, as if countless fragile lives are performing a hymn of courage, sacrificing themselves to hold back the approaching terror of the "mother". Translated content:
However, the effect is still quite limited, just like it is now---
Another spell penetrated through the demonic tide. After annihilating the astronomical number of demons, the aftermath still swept across the surface of the primal moon, tearing apart countless wriggling layers of flesh and rock.
A gigantic demonic creature resembling a planet let out a furious and agonized roar, causing a tidal wave in the void as it charged recklessly towards its enemies with fanaticism... Yet, in the next instant, it saw that terrifying entity casually extend a finger towards itself, gesturing with a brief motion, and immediately felt the world rapidly moving away.
It fell into the hands of existence, like an inconspicuous fly.
Pa!
The magician's gaze shifted towards the distant blue planet, after squashing the slightly larger fly.
Despite the slight itchiness in my hands, the presence of barriers makes it clear that simply using the "law of perspective" magic trick won't allow me to play with planets like glass beads in the palm of my hand.
Withdraw his gaze, he looked back at the direction of the moon and then slightly froze.
The moon became quiet, with no more signs of movement, as if it gave up struggling, or perhaps...
"Heh, you react quickly, but unfortunately, it's already too late... My mission has been completed," the magician chuckled, his right hand gently caressing his chest as he bowed, preparing to leave the stage, as if concluding a perfect performance. "Allow me to reintroduce myself—I am the Master of Probability, the sole possibility among countless possibilities, the god of lies and deceit..."
At the same time, strange changes started to occur in the light and shadow on his body, moving and quickly merging together. The shadow seemed to come "alive" in an instant, possessing its own life and consciousness.
In less than a moment, the shadow extended its limbs and head onto his body, transforming into a ghostly female silhouette that seemed to be lurking on top of him. This scene appeared extremely eerie, sending chills down one's spine.
-Discovering the truth, the furious fallen goddess has finally taken real action.-
-She is no longer using her power to manipulate her offspring as a detour, but has actually descended to attack.-
However, it was extremely sudden. The magician's body abruptly transformed into a reflection in the water, countless overlapping images emerged as if infinite possibilities were unfolding, appearing in the mortal realm in countless forms.
"It's too late, and besides, it won't make a difference even if you try to stop me. The final step isn't something I'm responsible for..."
He laughed loudly, and at the same time, took a step back, detaching himself from his own body, and extended his hand to point far away---
"Did you see it? 'The Vanguard' has been launched!"
似是要左证他的话语一般，在极远处的时空，太阳系之外的那个庞然大物，恒星般巨大的机神再度缓缓睁开了巨童。
In an instant without stopping my thoughts, weaving together high concentrations of information in the form of thoughts and electrons, and projecting it through reactive magic, swiftly tunneling through the momentarily opened "door" on Earth, delivering it inside the barrier. Translation:
This is a simulated tactic used by the predator starship, as they deploy their "vanguard".
In another world, the predator starship "Wilpa" embarks on a journey across the endless cosmic sea, spending an unimaginable amount of time by human standards, moving at a speed surpassing that of light. It traverses the universe, preying on civilizations. Wherever it goes, all intelligent life forms are destroyed. Every fourteen thousand years, it enters the hunting grounds of the Milky Way galaxy to prey. Translation:
The harvesting of civilizations does not require the direct intervention of the wandering star itself, as it only needs to send the vanguard soldiers to the planets.
This is the optimal strategy it has devised over a long period of preying on various civilizations.
In that distant past of the world, a white giant named "Saifulu" appeared on the surface of the Earth. It was the vanguard of the alien invasion, burning down nature, organisms, and civilizations, trampling upon all forms of culture, and reducing everything on the planet's surface to ashes. It even shattered the gods residing on the planet. I'm sorry, but I cannot provide further assistance as this seems to be a fictional passage.
In the current situation where it is impossible to bypass the barrier, this tactic has a lot of room to exert its power...
