“Swish!”

The white teleportation light faded, and Su Mingan was teleported back to the original timeline.

He looked around but didn't see Akto.

"——Su Mingan, I'm here."

Su Mingan looked up and saw a figure in a white coat standing on the old clock tower.

He walked to Akto's side. From here he could overlook the entire city-state, including the lush ginkgo trees, the towering teahouse, and the Akto stone sculpture in the center of the square.

Surrounded by paper flowers, the stone sculpture of Akto and the stone sculpture of a fist representing the Battle of Dawn stood together, looking out over the entire city-state. Su Mingan looked at the stone sculpture of Akto, then at Akto next to him. Their gentle and steady eyes were almost identical.

The entire city-state can be seen from here. Su Mingan thought, this is exactly why Akto stood here.

This is the city-state that Aktor has spent his entire life building, and this is the ruined world that he has been trying hard to save after becoming an AI.

"Su Ming'an, congratulations on connecting to this Ouroboros of fate." said Akto.

"Yeah." Su Mingan said.

He really didn't expect that... In the world of ruins, space, time, and dimension can form several trajectories. The initial encounter turned out to be a ouroboros without a head or tail, and the initial time was a backward calculation. It turned out that Asa Akto's three-dimensional firewall was not just a passive defense.

This is something that can only be done with the Dawn system. Its significance is far more than just "dragging". It can break through the limitations of the rules by playing with different combinations of the three elements of time, space, and dimension.

"Tonight, Kaiusta's mission will end here, and tomorrow, the people of the Measurement City will go to the final battlefield." Actor said: "All my layouts and plans are left to you to finish."

"Do you trust me so much?" Su Mingan said.

Actor looked at him: "Why not?"

When being stared at by Akto, Su Mingan always had the illusion that he was looking in a mirror.

"Are you saying this because you are leaving?" Su Mingan asked.

"I am just Akto's AI stationed in Kaiusta. Human death is irreversible. Both my body and soul reached the end in the first year of the catastrophe. Without meeting, there would be no leaving." Akto said.

"You once said that the lifespan of the human soul is limited. When a person has experienced the limit of time he can endure, he will die even if his body is young," said Su Mingan.

"Yes."

"I experienced your emotional resonance, but now I don't seem to have any aftereffects," said Su Ming'an.

"So, you should have a good rest afterwards. You just didn't notice the aftereffects," said Akto.

Su Mingan looked into the distance.

Under the bell tower, the funeral procession could no longer be seen. The golden edge in the distance slowly fell into the darkness, like a gradually melting tide.

The two stood quietly on the bell tower for a while until Akto spoke.

"Humanity has lived in this world for so long, with civilization continuing from generation to generation. I don't want it to end before my eyes." Actor stretched out his hand and placed it on the edge of the clock tower: "For people like us, the world seems to have many choices, but not many correct ones."

"for example?"

"For example, pulling the tram pole, turning the people in the two-dimensional world into sliced ​​programs. Another example is not escaping the fate of death, not becoming a flying bird - Su Mingan, what you believe in and will not regret is right."

"..." Su Mingan heard this and recalled the last memory of Akto's emotional resonance. It was a scene that he would never forget in his life - the 20-year-old Akto opened his arms to the countless artillery fire, as if embracing all the malice and hatred of the people. Then the hero died in the angry artillery fire of the people.

"You don't regret it?" Su Mingan said: "If you didn't sacrifice your vitality to activate the Dawn System, perhaps..."

Akto just looked at him, his expression as gentle as always, and his eyes did not change at all.

At this moment, Su Mingan suddenly remembered the topic he and Noel had talked about on the garbage mountain when the dungeon just started:

——【In society, the survival of the race is always better than the survival of the individual. This is the general trend and the underlying logic of mankind. When the force of an individual is greater than that of the race, the world must have an absolutely rational and humane person of extraordinary power to balance possible disasters and allow civilization to continue.】

Asa Aktor did just that.

"...even if it happens a thousand times or ten thousand times, I will still choose to die in that year." said Akto.

Su Mingan's fingers trembled.

Akto degraded himself to a god.

The so-called sympathy, pity, envy and jealousy are all imposed on him by people. Even the status of a god itself was conferred by people. He is always himself.

He had seen more desperate tragedies, more numb creatures, more terrifying desires, and more tragic deaths.

Death was only a relief for him. He had done everything he could and walked all the paths he should walk. His name would not perish but would live forever in the name of the city-state. He had seen enough of this world.

The fate of mankind is already on a shaky path, surrounded by malicious eyes, and one wrong step will lead to a complete failure. So Aktor chose to become the "God" who saved them.

"Su Mingan, if there is really hope for this world...it lies in the hands of people like you and me," said Akto.

His hands were on the railing, his black hair stood up like crow feathers, and although he looked young, it was like looking at a living fossil.

The ginkgo leaves of the city-state flutter under the bell tower, and it is also known as a "living fossil".
