Arcane: I Built Mechs in Piltover

Li Lin transmigrated to Piltover on the continent of Valoran. He originally thought his life would pass by uneventfully, until he became an employee of the Kiramman family and discovered he possess...

Chapter 287 The Person Favored by the World

At this moment, Li Lin didn't care about other issues and just wanted to know what happened in his original world.

"Well, I was devoured by a bunch of filthy, disgusting bugs, that's all."

Zoe pondered for a moment, then stretched out her legs from the cross-legged position and sat on the air, her two little feet swaying, as if the end of the world could not resonate with her at all.

"I was watching from the sidelines at the time. The end of the world thing is one of my favorite shows! As for the other ones... well, there was also a fireworks display in the depths of space!"

“…”

Li Lin opened his mouth, but his mind went blank and he couldn't say anything.

Eaten by insects?

Combined with what Zoe just said, it seems that the earth was wiped out by the void?

But why?

Why does something like the void exist in my world...

As if seeing through Li Lin's thoughts, Zoe looked nonchalant. She casually opened a portal with her left hand, licked her lips with half of her tongue, found a stack of cream cakes from somewhere, and ate them happily, her face covered with cream.

"Where there is sunshine, there must be darkness. Where there is existence, there must be nothingness. Everything is relative."

She ate while talking, and her voice was very unclear because she was chewing the cake. Li Lin had to work very hard to barely understand what she was saying.

Moreover, it was hard for him to imagine that such a "truth" could actually come from Zoe's mouth.

"Every universe has a corresponding side of nothingness. When the time is right and existence disturbs the nothingness, that nothingness will differentiate, and those little bugs that make me feel sick will awaken..."

Zoe sucked the cream off her fingers and paused, "Then, the end of the world came~~It's a normal thing, it happens in every universe."

She thought for two seconds, "In a fringe universe I've been to, gods were born from nothingness there, and they attempted to break through the cosmic barriers and devour everything. They were half successful, sending a companion to a neighboring universe.

"That universe is amazing! Humanity has even established a galactic empire..."

“…”

Listening to Zoe's chattering, Li Lin continued to remain silent, feeling choked up and with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He had originally fantasized that one day after defeating the Watcher, he would develop a device that could break the barriers of the universe, explore parallel universes, and perhaps return to his original world.

But now it seems that this idea is completely empty.

The Earth he was on had been wiped out of existence. No matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to find his own world again...

"You... witnessed the destruction of that world with your own eyes, right?" Li Lin sniffed, his voice very hoarse.

"Are you sad?" Zoe tilted her head with a puzzled look and did not directly answer his question.

In her world, emotions such as sadness and grief do not exist at all.

Not only herself, but others should not have this kind of "boring" feeling.

At least that's what she thought.

Li Lin's sadness undoubtedly affected Zoe. "Although your world is destroyed, you are the embodiment of that world's hope and are favored by it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here... Isn't this something to be happy about?"

"It seems that expecting you to understand this was entirely my own fault."

Hearing the sadness and loneliness in Li Lin's voice, Zoe panicked. She really didn't want to quarrel with her new friend.

"Well, we're friends, right? Friends should help each other solve problems..." Her eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly they lit up, "Actually, you don't have to care about your own world at all!"

Sensing Li Lin's negative emotions rising again, Zoe hurriedly explained, "Actually, the real world is just an illusion, but it's not realistic enough, do you understand? Sometimes, this illusion will sway back and forth, in and out, and it's never completely seamless..."

As Zoe was speaking, she paused and found herself becoming more and more confused. She didn't even know what she was saying, or perhaps what she said shouldn't be revealed to a mortal like Li Lin. She simply gave up explaining, pouted, and lowered her head.

"Um...don't mind it, I was just kidding, seriously."

The two of them suddenly fell into silence, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Zoe didn't like this feeling, but she didn't know how to comfort Li Lin.

After all, she is a little girl who has maintained the purest nature. She is also the only person in millions of years who has the highest compatibility with the Twilight Spirit and has obtained the power of the Spirit through the back door.

She doesn't know how to put herself in other people's shoes, nor does she know how to comfort and take care of other people's emotions.

In other words, after gaining divine power, Zoe's "innocence" has actually evolved into "evil" for ordinary humans.

The stinging words can only be considered the least painful...

Come up with something quickly, Zoe!

This is a friend you made with great difficulty, and he’s a boy!

You can't let him escape from your grasp!

Zoe stared at Li Lin, who was silent and thinking about something, for a long time. Finally, her face became serious, as if she had made some kind of decision.

Then, she licked the corner of her mouth with half of her tongue, opened a portal and went in to feel for something.

Soon, her expression brightened, she stretched out her little hand, and handed a shiny, colorful ball like a glass bead in her palm to Li Lin.

"Don't be sad~~ How about I give you a gift first? It won't be counted in the gifts we exchange as good friends~~"
