I’m a superpowered individual, and my superpower is to modify one word in the description of everyone’s superpower.
At first, no one really paid attention to me. Until one day, I accidentally became the strongest superpowered person in history and even destroyed the world.
Then they labeled me as the Demon King who destroyed the world and locked me underground in the Seventh Bureau, which is the strongest superpower bureau.
Ten years later, suddenly two rookies from the Seventh Bureau came to interview me. They wanted to hear the story of how I became the Demon King.
I lifted my eyelids, showed my big white teeth, and smiled.
My smile made the two young people shiver simultaneously. The one standing at the back even got up and was about to pull the door open to run outside. However, when he desperately pulled the doorknob, he found that for some reason, the door that had just been closed couldn’t be opened anymore.
Seeing this, I smiled and said, “You two don’t have to be so nervous. If I really wanted to do something, this place couldn’t hold me. Well, would you two like to introduce yourselves?”
The two looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then one of them said, “My name is Li Yang.”
The other one, the young man who had just turned around to run, also said upon seeing this, “My name is Ji Xiang.”
I nodded and didn’t reply.
Seeing this, the two swallowed and finally Li Yang said with difficulty, “We came here today to interview you.”
After hearing that, I nodded gently and sat on the chair behind me. The cold iron chair behind me had somehow turned into a comfortable wooden chair at some point.
I gestured for them to sit down too, and then looked at them and asked, “What do you want to know?”
After a moment, Li Yang carefully said, “They say that you are the strongest superpowered person, the Demon King who almost destroyed the world?”
I smiled after hearing that and shook my head, saying, “The strongest superpowered person? For now, it seems so. But there’s one thing they got wrong. I never almost destroyed the world.”
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief gently upon hearing this, but then they heard me say, “I just destroyed the world once.”
I looked at the two people who were in a daze in front of me and asked, “Do you want to ask that since I destroyed the world, why are you all okay now?”
I continued on my own, “Actually, it’s very simple. After I destroyed the world, I restored it again, so we can all sit here and chat nicely today.”
Li Yang swallowed hard and said, “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
I glanced at him and said, “Then let me tell you from the beginning.”
“Twenty years ago, a mysterious meteor landed on our planet. A week later, people all over the world began to awaken various superpowers. At first, people were doubtful and uncertain. Later, people found that as long as they reached the age of eighteen, there was a one-in-a-thousand chance of randomly awakening a superpower. For those under eighteen, there was also a certain probability of awakening their superpower on their eighteenth birthday.”
In the room, I began to tell my own story.
“In the second year after the meteor landed on the earth, I turned eighteen. On my birthday, I felt that something seemed to be awakening in my mind. But unfortunately, until the end of that day, I didn’t awaken my superpower. At that time, I thought that maybe my superpower hadn’t fully awakened and it would be okay in a few days. But until I went to college, my superpower still hadn’t awakened successfully.”
“So I accepted the fact that I was just an ordinary person and began to live an ordinary life, went to college, studied, prepared to find a good job after graduation, and live an ordinary life for the rest of my life.”
“When I was in college, I had a girlfriend. She was very nice to me, took good care of me, and was obedient to me. I quickly fell in love. During that time, I felt that she was my whole world. By the way, her name is Gu Qiu.”
“What! Miss Gu Qiu!” Hearing this, Ji Xiang, who had been silent all along, exclaimed.
I glanced at him and nodded, “Yes, she’s one of the aces of your Seventh Bureau, the Goddess of Revenge, Gu Qiu. Well, that was about ten years ago. I don’t know if she’s still alive now.”
I continued, “I spent a sweet time in college with her and promised to get married after graduation. However, I’m not an ordinary person after all. On the day I graduated from college, my superpower finally awakened belatedly. Not only that, at that moment, I also saw through Gu Qiu’s superpower. It turned out that she had been hiding from me that she was also a superpowered person.”
“Then what exactly is your superpower?” Li Yang asked carefully.
I looked at Li Yang and smiled, “You’re really bold to ask. Back then, even that old fox, Bureau Chief Cheng An of your Seventh Bureau, tried every trick but couldn’t find out my superpower. Do you think you can ask it out with just one sentence today?”
“I didn’t mean that.” My words made Li Yang instantly nervous again, for fear that I would turn him into powder if I got unhappy.
I changed the topic and said, “But I’ve been really bored for too long. It’s rare to have you two come to chat with me today. I might as well tell you.”
I looked at their brightening eyes and said, “On the day of graduation, I finally understood my superpower, which is: being able to comprehend the superpower of any object and modify one word in the description of the superpower.”
I looked at the two people whose minds couldn’t quite turn around and asked, “Do you two not quite understand? Then I might as well take you two as examples.”
I looked at Ji Xiang and said, “Let me take your superpower as an example. Your superpower is uh, killing everything with deep affection? What a unique superpower, and it also has a strong sense of being a middle school student.”
Ji Xiang smiled awkwardly and said, “I awakened a useless superpower. I’m sorry to make you laugh. So although I’m a superpowered person, I can only work as a civilian staff in the Seventh Bureau. My colleagues all say that I might be more suitable to go on a dating show.”
I smiled and said, “No, you don’t have to belittle yourself. Your Bureau Chief Cheng An said that there’s no useless superpower in the world. As long as you’re good at developing it, you can always find your own shining points. For example, let’s still take Mr. Li Yang as an example. Mr. Li Yang’s superpower is: summoning the domain of fire to burn everything. It’s a very powerful superpower, powerful enough to reach level A, right?”
Li Yang nodded and said, “You really deserve to be the strongest superpowered person in history. You knew my superpower just by looking at me.”
I continued, “Now I’ll activate my superpower. Well, it’s activated. Now, Mr. Li Yang, please use your superpower.”
Hearing this, Ji Xiang on the side quickly dodged to the side. Obviously, he knew that once Li Yang’s superpower was activated, it would be an indiscriminate area attack. As a superpowered person with no defensive ability at all, it was too dangerous for him to be next to Li Yang.
Li Yang nodded, and then he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils had turned bright red, and a powerful spiritual fluctuation emanated from him. In the next instant, bright red flames burst out and covered the tie on Li Yang’s chest.
The bright red flames gave off huge heat, and the intense burning sensation made Li Yang shout in pain, “It’s so hot!”
He panicked and patted his tie, trying to put out the flames on it. However, how could the flames activated by superpower be put out casually? If Li Yang hadn’t been born with a certain fire resistance as a fire-type superpowered person, he might have been roasted by now.
“Well, why don’t you try to withdraw your superpower first?” I suggested from the side.
After hearing that, Li Yang quickly withdrew his superpower, and instantly the flames on the tie disappeared, but his coat was already burned to rags at this time.
I looked at the embarrassed Li Yang, snapped my fingers apologetically, and in the next second, Li Yang’s clothes were restored to their original state.
I said, “This is my superpower. Just now, I changed the word ‘domain’ in the description of your superpower to ‘tie’, so your superpower became: summoning the tie of fire to burn everything.”
Li Yang’s mind went blank again, and only Ji Xiang, who was hiding on the side, said upon hearing this, “That’s amazing!”
I continued, “I’ll continue with my story. At the moment when I awakened my superpower, I saw Gu Qiu’s superpower. Her superpower is: whenever she kills a person who truly loves you, she will double her own strength.”
“At that moment, I understood why Gu Qiu was so nice to me during college. I once thought that I was so lucky to meet a woman I could entrust my life to, but I didn’t expect that Gu Qiu’s real purpose was to make me fall in love with her and then kill me so that she could get strengthened. With her normal adult physical fitness, as long as she gets strengthened five or six times, there would probably be nothing ordinary in the world that could kill her, right?”
“But by the time I found out, it was already too late. That day was the day Gu Qiu planned to kill me. She put knockout drops in the meal she cooked for me by hand. By the time I found out, the effect of the drug had already taken effect.”
“Then how did you escape this disaster?” Ji Xiang wasn’t as scared as he was at the beginning and started to ask boldly.
“Before I fell unconscious, I modified her superpower and changed the word’strengthen’ to ‘weaken’. Once she killed me, she would be weakened by one level. Gu Qiu found out and was immediately furious. I told her that I could interfere with her superpower in reverse and make it impossible for her to get strengthened for the rest of her life. If she wanted to recover, she’d better not kill me. Then I passed out. Before I passed out, I vaguely heard her call me a bitch.”
“When I woke up, I found myself locked in a deep pit in the wild. Lying next to me was another man. Later, I learned that this man was also bewitched by Gu Qiu and fell deeply in love with her. Moreover, he was also a superpowered person, and his superpower was: spitting out flames from his mouth. This Gu Qiu, I really didn’t see that she was two-timing at that time. Gu Qiu originally planned to kill me first to get strengthened by one level, and then kill this man with a more powerful superpower. That would be the safest way, and her physical fitness would be strengthened to four times the original. It’s a pity that her plan was ruined by me.”
“Gu Qiu showed up, cursed me as a bitch, and asked me to restore her superpower, or she would leave us two in the deep pit and let us starve to death. Of course, I wouldn’t agree, so Gu Qiu left cursing.”
“That man and I were trapped in the pit for a full twenty days before we were rescued. This was because that man had awakened his superpower before and became an unofficial staff member of the Seventh Bureau. The people from the Seventh Bureau found that he was missing and sent people to find him. Otherwise, we might have been buried in there forever and no one would have cared.”
Li Yang asked upon hearing this, “Then during these twenty days, what did you rely on to replenish water and nutrition?”
I replied, “It was the rainy season at that time, so there was no shortage of water, although it was a bit dirty. As for food, it was even simpler. I slightly modified that man’s superpower and changed it to: spitting out ham from the mouth.”
Ji Xiang interrupted, “Eating only ham for twenty days?”
I said, “Sometimes we would also improve our diet and change it to: spitting out hot pot from the mouth.”
Li Yang and Ji Xiang: “…”
“After being rescued, the Seventh Bureau captured Gu Qiu, and I was also recruited into the Seventh Bureau because of my superpower. However, I didn’t tell the Seventh Bureau the truth about my superpower. I just said that I could interfere with other people’s superpowers to a certain extent, and the specific effect was uncertain.”
Li Yang asked, “What made you decide to hide all this?”
I replied, “Because I can see through everyone’s superpower, all the superpowered people look like shining stars in my eyes. Some stars are bright, and some are dim. But when I felt my own superpower, I found that my superpower was like the scorching sun at noon, vast and boundless. All the stars would pale in comparison in front of me. From then on, I knew that my superpower was probably so powerful that I couldn’t even imagine it myself.”
Ji Xiang said, “However, your superpower doesn’t seem that powerful, and it’s far from being able to destroy the world.”
I asked in return, “In your opinion, what kind of superpower is the most powerful?”
“Our research over the years has unanimously believed that conceptual superpowers are the most powerful.” Ji Xiang replied.
I nodded and said, “Yes, conceptual superpowers can escape the secular logic and directly affect the operation of the world. For example, every coin thrown is heads, and the first three three-pointers in the NBA every day must be scored. These superpowers don’t follow any logic and work at the level of logic, making it impossible for people to prevent and resist. I remember there’s an ace in the Information Department of the Seventh Bureau named Li Shouren. His superpower is: whenever he encounters danger, there must be a person beside him who can help him get out of danger. He relied on this superpower with no attack power at all to escape safely several times after getting information from S-level superpowered people.”
“And my superpower can even change these conceptual logics. Can you say it’s not powerful?” My rhetorical question made the two of them fall into deep thought.
“After I joined the Seventh Bureau, I immediately found a superpowered person who had bullied me before. He was also a powerful conceptual superpowered person hiding among the people. He claimed to the outside world that he had a diamond body, but actually his superpower was: in the real world, he couldn’t be damaged or killed in any way. Such a superpower was enough to make ninety-nine percent of the superpowered people in the world unable to do anything to him. It’s a pity that he met me.”
“That night, he was partying in a bar. He was showing off his superpower as usual, pouring alcohol on himself while lighting a fire, but he himself was unharmed. And I just activated my superpower and changed his superpower to: outside the real world, he couldn’t be damaged or killed in any way. Then, he died in the fire he lit himself.”
Li Yang swallowed and said, “It’s really powerful. And we found that you seem to have the same superpower as this person. Your body also seems indestructible. Do you have a second superpower, like being able to obtain other people’s superpowers after killing them or something like that?”
I shook my head and said, “No, I only have this one superpower.”
Seeing that the two of them were still puzzled, I continued to tell my story.
“After joining the Seventh Bureau, because of the uncertainty of my own superpower, I didn’t attract much attention. They rated my superpower as level B, and I was regarded as an auxiliary logistics staff member. And I also restored Gu Qiu’s superpower for her. Her superpower also belongs to the conceptual type and attracted the attention of the Seventh Bureau. The Seventh Bureau began to cultivate her as an ace and rated her as level S.”
“Everyone in the Seventh Bureau was deceived by me, but there was one exception, and that was your Bureau Chief, Cheng An. Speaking of which, let me ask you, do you know what your Bureau Chief’s superpower is?”
Li Yang said, “The Bureau Chief’s superpower is to attack enemies with powerful spiritual power.”
I smiled and said, “He really didn’t tell you the truth. His superpower is: powerful spiritual power to forcibly control other people’s hearts. In other words , he’s someone who can arbitrarily change the thoughts in everyone’s subconscious and make them submit to him. He controlled everyone below level S in the Seventh Bureau and most of the level S ones. However, he didn’t succeed in controlling me because, although a firefly is bright, how can it compete with the bright sun?”
“Cheng An realized that my superpower was definitely not as simple as I said, and it was probably another level S. So he planned to control me and take me for his own use. He’s really an expert at playing with people’s hearts. Since he couldn’t control me through superpower, he planned to use human feelings to create a bond with me so that my heart would have flaws and give him an opportunity to control me. Under his control, my colleagues in the Seventh Bureau were very nice to me, making me feel at home. I, who had just experienced betrayal, deeply relied on my colleagues. Then, Cheng An summoned a terrifying monster from another world and let my colleagues fight against it.”
“My colleagues were no match for the monster at all. When I saw my former colleagues lying on the ground seriously injured and on the verge of death, I was once again defeated by human nature. To save my colleagues, I activated my superpower and modified the superpower of one of my colleagues who had a healing superpower. I changed her superpower from ‘being able to quickly heal minor injuries’ to ‘being able to quickly heal serious injuries’.”
“My colleagues were all saved, which also made Cheng An truly see the horror of my superpower. He came to me directly and told me that my superpower had unlimited potential and asked me to build a powerful world with him. I refused him. The rejected Cheng An wanted to activate his superpower to forcibly control me, but I defeated him easily.”
Ji Xiang asked, “How did you defeat the Bureau Chief?”
I replied, “I changed his superpower to: powerful spiritual power to forcibly control other people’s underwear. Then on the day I fought with him, I wasn’t wearing underwear.”
Li Yang and Ji Xiang: “…”
“After failing, Cheng An became even more crazy. To force out all of my strength, he opened the passage to that other world. On that day, tens of millions of monsters spread all over our planet. These monsters were all the elites of that other world, and each of them was no weaker than the one Cheng An summoned before.”
“Cheng An said to me crazily that if I didn’t go all out and wasn’t willing to build a powerful world with him, then I could perish together with this world. With such a number of monsters, even Cheng An, who was recognized as the strongest superpowered person in the world at that time, couldn’t resist them at all. So, all the hope seemed to rest on me.”
“How did you resist?” Both of them were already fascinated by the story.
I looked at them and said, “I said before that I only have this one superpower, but you all analyzed that my superpower wasn’t as powerful as imagined. Now it’s time to tell you the reason.”
“My superpower is: being able to comprehend the superpower of any object and modify one word in the description of the superpower. This function of modifying one word naturally also includes my own superpower. So, in fact, I had already changed my own superpower to: being able to learn the superpower of any object and modify one word in the description of the superpower.”
“What!” Li Yang was shocked.
“I had already learned the superpowers of everyone in the Seventh Bureau, including some auxiliary superpowers. For example, there was a person whose superpower was: being able to increase a superpowered person’s superpower by ten times, and it could only be used once in a lifetime. I learned this superpower and changed it to: being able to increase a superpowered person’s superpower by ten times, and it could only be used once per second. Then, I used it on myself about a hundred or eighty times. After using it, I felt terrifyingly powerful. So when those countless monsters swept over, I just made a slight move, and the countless monsters along with our entire galaxy were all reduced to ashes.”
“So you know why I said that if I wanted to do something, none of you in the Seventh Bureau could stop me, right?”
“And then?” Li Yang asked tremblingly.
“Then I activated a time-traveling superpower and used the superpower in my body that had been enhanced by who knows how many billions of times to restore the entire galaxy to its original state. Then I came to Cheng An. Cheng An asked me tremblingly what my superpower exactly was.”
“Of course, I didn’t tell him, and he also cursed me as a bitch.”
“Being extremely powerful, I had no opponents at all. So I erased everyone’s memory of this incident, except for Cheng An and a few other high-level officials in the Seventh Bureau. So you don’t remember what happened back then at all. Meanwhile, I didn’t kill Gu Qiu. It wasn’t that I still cared about our feelings, but at my level, I simply wouldn’t care about the thoughts of an ant. I changed her superpower to: whenever she kills a person who truly hates you, she will double her own strength. This completely changed her way of getting stronger in the future, and that’s how the ace of the Seventh Bureau, the Goddess of Revenge Gu Qiu, came into being.”
“Then I sealed myself underground in the Seventh Bureau, in this very room. Cheng An knew how terrifying I was, so he told the outside world that I was the Demon King who had almost destroyed the entire world once. That’s the whole story you know.”
Li Yang and Ji Xiang didn’t say a word for a long time because what they learned today had a huge impact on their values.
I gave them time to digest it and then asked, “I’ve sealed myself here for ten years. Cheng An asked you to come to me, so there must be some unimaginable trouble outside, right?”
Li Yang nodded, “A terrifying monster has arrived. It can destroy everything, and even Bureau Chief Cheng can’t fight against it.”
Hearing this, I looked up. At that moment, the spiritual power that had been sealed in my body for ten years burst out for the first time, breaking through the room, reaching dozens of kilometers above the ground, and then flying into the sky, covering the entire planet.
In my perception, a huge black shadow was floating outside our planet. This black shadow was extremely deep, and even my spiritual power couldn’t penetrate it.
I nodded, and my body suddenly rose from the ground. In an instant, I returned to the ground and flew to Cheng An who was floating in mid-air.
After ten years, when I saw Cheng An again, he had a lot more white hair.
Cheng An saw me, and there was a complicated look in his eyes, “It’s back.”
I nodded and said, “I know. It’s from the same world as the monsters you summoned before. That world is called the Abyss. Ten years ago, I wiped out all the elites in that world. It’s probably the strongest one in that world and followed the traces left back then to find this world.”
Cheng An asked, “Can you deal with it?”
I looked at the black fog and then my superpower began to give me feedback on the black fog’s superpower: “?????????”
Nine question marks. This was the first time my superpower had failed. Or rather, my superpower couldn’t fully analyze its superpower. I probably met an existence on the same level as myself.
I had a solemn look on my face, “Its power is probably the same as mine, involving the most fundamental rules of the universe. My superpower can’t effectively affect it for now.”
Cheng An keenly grasped the implication of my words and asked, “That is to say, you can still affect it to some extent?”
I nodded and said, “I need some verification.”
Cheng An said, “Okay, but you can’t irritate it too much. According to our observation, it’s currently sleeping and will probably wake up in about two days. But if you irritate it, I’m afraid it will wake up soon.”
I nodded and said, “Then I’ll just give it a little nudge.”
After saying that, I activated my superpower and changed the last question mark in the description of the black fog’s superpower to an exclamation mark.
Well, the black fog’s power was very powerful, so powerful that it could resist my superpower. I felt my power draining rapidly. After probably modifying it about ten thousand times, I finally succeeded.
At the moment when I finished the modification, the black fog seemed to turn over and move a little, and then there was no more movement.
But just this one movement scared the people in the Seventh Bureau quite a bit. Cheng An asked me carefully, “What did you do to make it have such a big reaction?”
I thought deeply in my heart. In the past, when I modified other people’s superpowers, if the modified sentence didn’t make sense, the modification wouldn’t succeed. But just now, my modification succeeded, which proved that what I modified was correct. I checked the descriptions of everyone’s superpowers, and the last character was usually a period. Just now, I changed it to an exclamation mark, which in principle wouldn’t affect the meaning of the sentence. This indicated that the nine question marks I detected from the monster didn’t represent an unanalyzable mess of codes, but rather nine characters whose meanings I couldn’t understand!
Next, as long as I could figure out what each of these nine characters meant, I could change the monster’s superpower and then defeat it successfully.
But how could I know what these nine characters were?
I told Cheng An about my superpower and my discovery. Cheng An was silent after hearing it, and after a while, he said, “I’ve been guessing your superpower all these years, and I even guessed that you had two or three superpowers. I really didn’t expect that this was the case.”
Cheng An stared at me and said, “If you had listened to me back then and used your superpower to make our people stronger, after these ten years, we might have built a more powerful Seventh Bureau. And today, when facing this monster, we might not be so helpless.”
I turned to look at Cheng An and said, “I’ve been sleeping underground for ten years. I didn’t expect that after coming out, you still haven’t changed your original idea. Have you ever thought that if you hadn’t summoned that monster back then, this monster wouldn’t have come looking for us today?”
“You just don’t understand!” Cheng An’s words were a bit excited. “Maybe this monster was summoned by me today, but have you heard of the Dark Forest Law? If another world’s monster accidentally discovers us tomorrow and we can’t fight against it, will you still blame me then? Weakness is the original sin. If we don’t hurry to improve ourselves, when the real crisis comes, all that awaits us is destruction!”
I was silent for a while and said, “Maybe you’re right, but I also want you to see something.”
After saying that, I pointed my finger, and a powerful stream of information entered Cheng An’s mind.
“I’ve sealed myself all these years and trapped myself in my own dream. In the dream, I followed your path and simulated the possible results of me using my superpower to help our planet improve rapidly. There were a total of one billion times, and in none of these one billion times did our planet survive for a hundred years.”
Cheng An’s eyes were full of shock, “How could that be?”
I sighed and said, “A planet built by using my superpower to strengthen other superpowered people is deformed. They can’t bear the suddenly obtained powerful force and become chaotic and violent. Everyone in the group has no faith or belonging of their own. Because faith and belonging can only be forged through the precipitation of time and the sacrifice of countless people.”
“Every planet that suddenly becomes powerful because of obtaining superpowers will fall apart and eventually perish due to the lack of its own faith. This is the reason why I’m unwilling to use my superpower to help our planet.”
I stared at Cheng An and said word by word, “Ten years ago, you once asked me what kind of superpower would make me feel afraid when I was as powerful as I am now. I can tell you now that what’s terrifying has never been the superpower itself, but the barbarism and disorder after suddenly obtaining superpowers. It’s enough to destroy all the hopes in the world!”
My fist pounded heavily on Cheng An’s chest, “You thought I was giving them power? Wrong, I was opening Pandora’s box!”
Cheng An asked, “Are you confident that you can deal with it?”
I replied, “It will wake up in two days. Normally, I can’t crack those nine characters within these two days without alerting it. Moreover, I feel that its power is increasing step by step during the awakening process. I have a hunch that if we let it wake up completely, its power will probably exceed mine, and then I really won’t be able to deal with it.”
Cheng An said, “An existence more powerful than you? What kind of level is that? Can’t you even surpass it by using that superpower that increases power by ten times?”
I shook my head and said, “When it comes to the level of rules, it’s not something that can be overcome by quantity. Even if my superpower was a hundred million times stronger, as long as it’s not stronger than it at the level of rules, it’s useless. And it’s not necessarily more powerful than me. I can’t deal with it just because it’s unknown. If I can understand its rules, it’s not invincible.”
I looked at Cheng An and said, “So I still have one last trump card that hasn’t been played. Now, it’s time to take a gamble.”
After saying that, I canceled the modification of my own superpower, and my superpower became: being able able to comprehend the superpower of any object and modify one word in the description of the superpower again. Then I activated my superpower again and changed it to: being able to comprehend the superpower of any object and modify ten words in the description of the superpower.
Cheng An stared at my operation in astonishment, “Goodness! You can play it like this, huh?”
Then I modified the nine question marks in the description of the black fog’s superpower: “Quickly tell your own superpower!”
At the moment when I activated my superpower, the black fog instantly boiled, and a powerful energy began to fill the entire universe. I saw the black fog rolling and forming a huge mouth, and it began to chant the first syllable.
When the first syllable rang out, the entire universe actually began to collapse. I had a thought, and my powerful superpower protected the entire universe and began to fight against the power of the black fog.
The black fog was restricted by my rules and could only continue chanting its superpower. And its superpower was so powerful that it shouldn’t exist in this world. So each time it chanted, it was using its own rules to tear apart the universe of this world.
Gradually, sweat appeared on my forehead. For the first time, this monster made me feel strained.
Finally, when I was almost unable to hold on, the black fog finally chanted the last syllable. Then, the black fog began to get agitated, rolling and starting to wake up completely.
Cheng An quickly supported me and asked, “How was it? What did it say?”
I wiped the sweat and said, “It just spoke the Abyss language, the language of its world. Translated into our language, it means: ‘Carry the Abyss and destroy everything’. What a powerful monster! It’s the incarnation of the will of the Abyss world. It’s a pity that if I had another ten years, my rules wouldn’t be weaker than its. But just now, in order to figure out its rules, I’ve already exhausted the rule power of my own superpower. Now my superpower has become: being able to comprehend the superpower of any object and modify one word in the description of the superpower again. Moreover, before I recover the rule power, I can only activate my superpower one more time.”
Cheng An quickly asked, “How long does it take for you to recover the rule power?”
I thought for a while and said, “Probably about ten days.”
Cheng An’s eyes showed despair, “Then it’s probably too late. It’s about to wake up completely.”
Cheng An looked at me and said, “You should leave quickly. You still have other superpowers. Although you can’t fight against it, it’s not difficult for you to leave this world. Wait until you recover the rule power, then come back to kill it and avenge us, and then revive us.”
I shook my head and said, “Its rules are on the same level as mine. Even if I recover the rule power and come back to kill it, I can’t revive you who were killed by its rules.”
Cheng An’s eyes became even more desperate. After a long while, he said, “Then you should take as many people as possible and leave. Leave this world and preserve the spark of our civilization. I will lead the entire Seventh Bureau to hold it back as much as possible.”
Cheng An’s eyes became firm, “This time I won’t influence you anymore. I just beg you to help our civilization in your own way, let it grow up safely in its infancy, and then thrive. May our civilization last forever.”
I smiled and said, “I’m glad that you’ve finally stopped being so stubborn and started to accept my ideas. But don’t worry, there’s still a chance to turn things around today.”
Cheng An looked surprised and said, “Your superpower can only be used one more time. How much effect can it have on this monster this time?”
I smiled and said, “Even if it can only be used once, it’s a superpower at the level of rules. As long as it involves rules, no matter how powerful it is, it has to abide by them. Cheng An, do you still remember Li Shouren’s superpower?”
Cheng An’s expression changed when he heard this, and he said, “Li Shouren, I remember his superpower is that whenever he encounters danger, there must be a person beside him who can help him get out of danger.”
I nodded and said, “Yes, his superpower has already reached the conceptual level. With the boost of the powerful superpower energy in my body, it’s already enough to have a certain impact on the will of the Abyss. I copied his superpower back then. That means, in today’s desperate situation, there must be a person beside me who can help us turn the situation around. As long as we can find him, we can turn defeat into victory!”
Cheng An’s eyes lit up again, “But who is that person?”
I smiled and said, “I think I’ve already found him.”
After saying that, I activated my spiritual power, and instantly a spatial door opened beside me. A figure was teleported through the spatial door. It was Ji Xiang who had just interviewed me underground.
Ji Xiang had just arrived dozens of kilometers underground and was chatting with me. Then I rushed straight to the ground to start fighting against the will of the Abyss. So Ji Xiang could only take the elevator gloomily, and it was estimated that it would take him another hour to reach the surface. Unexpectedly, I suddenly teleported him here with my superpower.
I looked at the astonished Ji Xiang and said, “Ji Xiang, do you still remember what your Bureau Chief said? There’s no useless superpower, and everyone has their own shining points. You, Ji Xiang, are the mascot of all of us today. Next, it’s time for you to save the world!”
Ji Xiang’s eyes were full of surprise. He looked at Cheng An and me, as well as the churning will of the Abyss in the distance, and tentatively asked, “Senior, do you want me to fight that monster?”
I nodded with a smile and said, “Ji Xiang, go and defeat the will of the Abyss!”
Ji Xiang: “Me?”
At this time, the will of the Abyss had completely awakened. It roared and rushed towards our planet, and I also activated my superpower for the last time in a short period, modifying Ji Xiang’s superpower to: “Kill everything in the Abyss!”
The powerful superpower carried Ji Xiang and rushed towards the will of the Abyss. The originally powerful will of the Abyss seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and was instantly reduced to ashes.
After this incident ended, I erased everyone’s memories again, only retained Cheng An and a few other high-level officials of the Seventh Bureau, as well as Ji Xiang’s. Of course, I erased their memories about my specific superpower.
So the world only remembered that monsters attacked, Cheng An led the Seventh Bureau to fight but was defeated. The Seventh Bureau had to release the strongest superpowered Demon King who was sealed underground. The Demon King and the monster fought and both were seriously injured. Finally, an unknown junior in the Seventh Bureau, Ji Xiang, took the opportunity to defeat the monster.
I looked at Cheng An and said, “In fact, the one billion simulations in my dream were also to find a way for our planet. Now that I’ve shown you all the bad results, it’s up to you to lead our civilization to glory in the future.”
I looked at Ji Xiang and nodded. After defeating the will of the Abyss, he had already received the rewards fed back by the universe and evolved his superpower. Now his superpower was very simple: “Slay Demons”.
Next moment, my body rushed out of this world and rushed towards the Abyss world. That was a world more powerful than ours.
This world no longer needed me. A truly powerful civilization is one where everyone becomes powerful spontaneously from the inside out. They don’t need a hero like me who can defeat everything. When a crisis comes, everyone can be their own hero.
