CHAPTER 75 – Xiao Xi Rewrites Destiny
Time seemed to stop.
The hacker lunged, the human silhouette moving with corrupted, fatal speed.
Gu ran toward her, reaching out a dissolving hand.
Shen raised his final reserve of golden energy.
Ling spread her white wings of light.
And Xiao Xi—
she stepped forward alone, meeting the hacker's furious gaze.
Her system blazed like a star, the culmination of Gu's sacrifice and her own courage.
[WORLD REWRITE INITIATED. CORE ACCESS: HOST.]
She whispered, her voice resonating with the power of creation:
"I'm done being controlled by a faulty script."
Golden-white power—the merged essence of her life force and Gu's data—exploded from her palms, meeting the hacker's chest.
He froze mid-lunge.
He stared at her, the resentment fading, replaced by profound, agonizing shock.
And whispered the ultimate question:
"Why… didn't you erase me?"
Xiao Xi's voice shook with effort, her heart breaking for the ghost of the original villain.
"Because you didn't deserve deletion.
You deserved a choice.
You deserved a new beginning."
Her rewrite power wrapped around him—not destroying, but fundamentally transforming the corrupted data.
His corrupted body disintegrated… leaving behind a small, glowing, silver spark.
A soul fragment.
The core of the original villain, finally cleansed of the malicious code.
Xiao Xi touched the spark gently.
"You can rest now.
Your story isn't about destruction anymore."
The fragment pulsed once—a final acknowledgement of peace—then faded gently into the white void.
The system chimed triumphantly:
[Corruption cleared. Host is now permanent Core Anchor.]
[New world structure forming. Awaiting Host's final command.]
Gu staggered to her, his form flickering violently, barely stable.
Xiao Xi grabbed his face with trembling hands, anchoring his digital existence.
The world around them washed white, awaiting her final decision on the fate of all variables.
She whispered the choice that defined their new reality:
"I choose a world where we ALL exist. Stable.
Safe.
Together."
The system glowed, accepting the command.
[Command accepted. Rewriting reality and establishing new foundation protocols…]
The digital world exploded in silent, beautiful light—and everything went white.
