By the time the nuclear weapon was still flying through the sky in search of its target, the White House had already ceased to exist.
And Yuzhou had returned to his own world.
Stepping out of the spatial vortex, Yuzhou discovered that the place he appeared in was, once again, the space belonging to the little girl in the red dress.
"This time, I probably altered the storyline a bit too much," Yuzhou remarked calmly.
The butterfly effect he caused had not only advanced the original plot significantly, but had also led to the outright destruction of the White House. One could say the deviation was massive.
As the spatial vortex dissipated, a cluster of energy emerged from the point where it vanished and drifted into the little girl's hands.
"I'll take half of the Origin Power of the Universe," the girl said casually. "The other half will be given to you."
As she spoke, the crystal-clear energy mass in her hand split cleanly into two. One half sank into her chest, while the other began to glow with golden light in midair.
"What is this light?" Yuzhou asked, puzzled.
"The materialization of Origin Power," the little girl replied. "Only the will of the universe can absorb Origin Power to grow stronger. Directly giving the energy to you would be meaningless."
"I see."
Yuzhou nodded and quietly waited for the result of the golden light's manifestation.
Before long, the glow faded, and that half of the Origin Power transformed into two tangible items.
A web-shooter, and a Spider-Man genetic inheritance serum.
"…These don't seem very useful to me," Yuzhou said, holding the manifested items with a helpless expression.
So this was what half of the universe's Origin Power amounted to?
"The items manifested are random and related to the original storyline," the little girl explained calmly upon seeing his reaction. "It has nothing to do with me."
"Fine. Something is better than nothing."
Yuzhou waved his hand, unconcerned. He had no personal use for these items, but perhaps someone else would.
After bidding farewell to the little girl, Yuzhou left the space.
"Let me grow a little too~"
After Yuzhou departed, the girl's face showed a playful expression he had never seen before. She then began refining the Origin Power she had absorbed.
Streams of light visibly coursed across her body, and faintly, it seemed as though she had grown slightly taller.
---
When Yuzhou returned, he found himself back in his own room.
Camearra had changed into a pink, youthful outfit. The moment she saw him, she rushed forward and hugged him tightly.
"Today's Camearra looks especially young and radiant," Yuzhou said with a smile, her fragrance filling his senses.
It seemed she truly loved the appearance of her youthful years. In fact, most women did.
Yuzhou certainly did as well.
"Let's have a child," Camearra whispered softly into his ear, her face flushed.
"Hiss—!"
Yuzhou sucked in a sharp breath, then looked at her with barely concealed excitement.
"Please~ We've been married for thirty million years already!" Camearra said coquettishly, shaking his arm as she pleaded.
"Is one enough?" Yuzhou replied, lifting her up and walking toward the bed.
…
Whether a child would come down to probability in the end.
After attending to personal matters, Yuzhou went to find Xu Weimin and handed over the petrification energy technology.
With this new energy source, the production of construction robots could be greatly increased, and the pace of urban reconstruction would accelerate significantly.
On the Moon, Belial had already completed the construction of the Space Garrison headquarters.
All Ultramen had since moved there.
For quite some time, Nagano had been assisting Belial with the construction work on the Moon. Now that this monumental project was finished, he was exhilarated.
The ground-based base was left for Yuzhou and Camearra to live in.
Keshiva, his father-in-law, had returned to an Earth-like planet in the New Domain World, saying he intended to bring back a group of disciples to help develop super-advanced technology for this Earth.
Naturally, the appearance of China's construction robots did not escape the notice of other nations.
At the joint international conference, some representatives quickly turned their attention toward China.
"I heard that China has recently acquired a new technology capable of rapidly rebuilding cities," the American representative said with a sinister smile, looking toward the Chinese delegate. "Is that true?"
The representatives of other nations watched silently, waiting for the show to begin.
"No."
To everyone's surprise, the Chinese representative denied it outright.
"That's a lie! We clearly recorded your robots rebuilding a building within just a few hours!" the American representative blurted out angrily.
"Oh?" The Chinese representative remained calm. He had already anticipated this situation when the reports first came in.
"We also recorded footage of the United States possessing nanotechnology capable of instantly reconstructing a skyscraper."
As soon as he said this, all eyes turned to the American representative.
"That's nonsense! We don't have anything like that!" the American slammed the table.
"Then neither do we," the Chinese representative replied with a shrug.
"What, are you all going to believe his nonsense?" the American representative snapped, noticing the gazes directed at him.
Rebuilding a building in a few hours versus instantly reconstructing a skyscraper—both sounded absurd.
However, this was not a place for jokes.
If such technology truly existed, every nation would want the more powerful one.
Instant skyscraper reconstruction.
"We're not believing it blindly," the Russian representative said with a faint smile. "It's just that American technology is quite advanced. It wouldn't be impossible."
In this situation, he was more than happy to assist the Chinese delegate.
"Exactly."
"That does make sense."
"I agree."
"Actually… I think both technologies belong to Korea."
"???"
"????"
"…"
The conference hall erupted into chaos.
Fortunately, the Japanese representative shifted the topic toward the Moon.
"Recently, remaining satellites detected that the Ultramen appear to have all relocated to the Moon."
"They've built a Space Garrison headquarters there, similar to the Land of Light."
"This is something we cannot ignore."
"That is concerning," the American representative frowned.
"Concerned about you, maybe," the Chinese representative muttered under his breath. The Ultramen were saving humanity, yet this man was still obsessing over defense.
"I think we should send Korea to investigate," the Russian representative added. "Didn't they previously claim the Moon belonged to them?"
The Korean representative's face turned green.
"I agree," the Japanese representative said, raising his hand.
