Chapter 656: Annihilation Doomsday! The Destroyer King's Doomsday! World Guardian!
He had never truly considered the deeper meaning behind the existence of the [Doomsday Chat Group].
Why him?
He was the first member to join, the Primordial User, and the Administrator designated by the system itself. Now, standing at the pinnacle of power, capable of crushing universes with a thought, he knew that a large extent of his strength was due to this Administrator authority.
With this authority, he could be chosen for every [Doomsday Companion] mission. He could insert himself into every crisis, solving one apocalypse after another, accumulating a staggering amount of Doomsday Points that far outstripped any other member. It was a snowball effect of power, orchestrated by the system.
Ren had always possessed a clear, albeit passive, understanding of this reality.
However, he had never seriously thought about or deeply investigated why the Doomsday Chat Group had such special preferential treatment for him. Was it destiny? Was it a higher calculation? Or was he simply the lucky roll of a cosmic die?
Or rather, back when he was weak, he had consciously ignored this issue.
He was too lazy to consider conspiracy theories and the like because he wasn't qualified. When you are an ant, you don't question why the giant offers you a crumb; you just eat it to survive. He had gradually grown stronger relying on the Chat Group, layer by layer, level by level. Considering the "why" seemed useless, a waste of time better spent on survival and conquest.
But now... things were different. A group member had brought it up, piercing the veil of his complacency.
Coupled with his current strength—a strength that allowed him to gaze into the abyss of the multiverse and have the abyss blink first—he felt a shift in his perspective.
He might have a chance to investigate it when the time comes.
Of course, that was a matter for the future. For now, the intricate web of fate was still too dense to see through, and investigating the origins of his benefactor wasn't his current task.
[Ren: "Forget it, this matter can't be verified by just thinking about it. Let's talk about it in the future."]
[Ren: "I currently have 17.7 billion Doomsday Points. If anyone has an idea to proceed with the unification of myriad worlds, you can @ me in the group."]
17.7 Billion. It was a number that defied comprehension for most, a currency of godhood.
[Nami: "I'm willing!!! Ren, pick me! My world has plenty of oceans, very comfortable!"]
[Yuzuriha Inori: "I'm willing too. If it's Ren, anywhere is fine."]
[Mikasa: "No objections. The walls... are no longer needed."]
[Ren: "Don't rush. There's still a lot we don't know about Annihilation Doomsday. I don't recommend you make a decision immediately."]
[Shiroyasha: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."]
In the glorious Hakoniwa, Shiroyasha fanned herself leisurely. The Little Garden was still thriving, so she naturally felt no urgency.
Moreover, Shiroyasha couldn't determine what the true "Decadence of the Winds" and those bastard gods in the upper layers would do if her world suddenly merged with Ren's. It was a geopolitical nightmare waiting to happen.
Compared to everyone else, the White Night King was definitely the most cautious one.
Although she was a problem child of Hakoniwa, it didn't mean she was as foolish as that Algol.
Algol. The name brought a sneer to Shiroyasha's lips. She was once one of Hakoniwa's three great problem children, along with Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen, a supreme Astral Spirit of terrifying power.
Because of her personality and her foolishness, she kept messing things up.
First screw-up: She was reduced from a supreme Astral Spirit to a mere god, her divinity stripped layer by layer.
Second screw-up: She was again reduced from a god to a subservient entity, a tool.
Finally, she became the property of the Perseus Community, even losing her sanity, reduced to a gorgon head on a shield. Algol was completely crippled, her former glory gone forever, a cautionary tale whispered in the dark corners of the Little Garden.
Look at the three of them now.
The Halloween Queen was doing the best among them, sitting high on her throne, still retaining her three-digit transcendent power and ruling her domain with absolute authority.
Although Shiroyasha had merged with the Yaksha Spirit and become a little Yaksha to serve as a Floor Master, she retained her dignity. At most, she was just being watched and monitored, doing great work for others while enjoying her life. As long as she wanted to, she could still return to a three-digit Spirit.
Only Algol paid the ultimate price for her own foolishness and personality.
No doing bad, no dying.
Ren didn't care whether they were in a hurry or not. He just wanted to quickly figure out the form and danger level of the [Extinction Doomsday], as well as the process of World Unification.
Talking about it on paper was useless. Theory could only take them so far.
Only practice could truly reveal the truth.
He certainly wouldn't use other people's worlds as guinea pigs. Nami's world was vibrant, Mikasa's was fragile... he needed a test subject that had nothing left to lose.
[Ren: "Chito, you also have the option to choose Myriad Worlds Unification, right?"]
[Chito: "Eh? Ren-nii, wait a moment, let me see."]
In the desolate, snowy wasteland of the Girls' Last Tour world, Chito pulled out her interface, her breath misting in the cold air.
A few seconds later.
[Chito: "!!! It's true! It seems I can directly apply for Myriad Worlds Unification to you, Ren-nii."]
[Ch'en: "Hmm, I also have this prompt here."]
[Stella: "Then it seems everyone is the same."]
[Ren: "That makes it easy. Chito, directly send me the application."]
[Aqua: "Is that even allowed? I thought Chito's world had already reached the end of the Doomsday?"]
[Ren: "Yes, the planet Chito and the others once inhabited no longer has any civilization, but this world, covered by the Doomsday, happens to be the best testing ground."]
It was a dead world. A quiet, empty world of layers and snow. If it broke, there was nothing left to mourn.
[Ren: "Even if we can't resist the Extinction Doomsday, there won't be much loss for us."]
[Esdeath: "Worth a try. Strategy requires sacrifice, or in this case, utilizing what is already lost."]
[Exusiai: "I also think this is a good opportunity to explore the Extinction Doomsday. Lock and load!"]
[Chito: "Okay, then I'll apply directly."]
[System Message: Ding! Administrator Ren has received a Myriad Worlds Unification request from Chat Group member Chito. Do you agree?]
[Ren: "Agree."]
Since he had decided to try, there was nothing to hesitate about. He pressed the button mentally.
[System Message: Ding! This Myriad Worlds Unification requires 1 billion Doomsday Points. The collection channel has been opened!]
A massive, golden [Doomsday Points Collection] option appeared in the Chat Group interface, glowing with an intimidating aura of cost. It was an option visible to everyone in the Chat Group.
[Tsunade: "Does everyone need to pay Doomsday Points? 1 billion... that's a lot of gambling debt."]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: "Probably not. It seems to be a total collection of 1 billion Doomsday Points, but everyone can contribute to make up the 1 billion. A crowdfunding of fate, perhaps?"]
[Ren: "You don't need to. Just leave it to me."]
Ren didn't blink. He casually selected the option and directly transferred 1 billion of his own Doomsday Points for the expenditure. It was a drop in the bucket of his 17.7 billion wealth.
[System Message: Ding! 1 billion Doomsday Points paid!]
[System Message: Ding! Myriad Worlds Unification process officially started!]
[System Message: Main World: Administrator Ren's world.]
[System Message: Unified World: Group member Chito's world.]
The text on the screen shifted, turning a violent, ominous red.
[System Message: Warning! Myriad Worlds Unification process has started and has been glimpsed by [Destroyer King], a candidate for Lord of Myriad Worlds!]
[System Message: Ding! Destroyer King is about to stop and destroy the Unified World, Extinction Doomsday is deriving... Extinction Doomsday activated!]
[System Message: Ding! Extinction Doomsday activated. Doomsday Chat Group, please select the World Guardians to stop the Doomsday of Destruction!]
A new panel materialized, radiating danger.
[Extinction Doomsday]: Doomsday of Destruction
[World Guardians]: Awaiting selection
[World Guardian Rules]: Stop the Doomsday of Destruction and complete Myriad Worlds Unification.
Following a series of prompts, a "Do you want to become a World Guardian?" option appeared in the Chat Group for every member.
[Saeko Busujima: "Does this require our power? I am ready."]
[Tingyun: "It's somewhat similar to Doomsday Companion, but it's not the Chat Group choosing fixed individuals; instead, it gives all of us the right to choose independently."]
[Kiana: "I can go help! I've gotten much stronger!"]
[Ren: "Don't rush."]
Ren's voice cut through the excitement, cold and authoritative. He stared at the title "Destroyer King."
[Ren: "Until we know the danger level of the Extinction Doomsday, don't choose. I'll go."]
After all, this involved the Destroyer King, an existence far beyond the essence of the multiverse. An entity competing for the throne of existence itself.
He wouldn't gamble with his women's lives.
