"Communication, requesting communication! Sir, our Super Iron Curtain holds no grudge against you, why this deadly blow! Are you not afraid of the Interstellar Corps pursuing you?"

An anxious communication from the Super Iron Curtain came through the communicator.

Xue Dili closed his eyes, once again thinking of that group of people who boasted about their children and then willingly jumped into the turbine to commit suicide.

"I can't be bothered to reason with you, look for the cause in yourselves."

The resonant wave within the mecha converted energy into substance, pulverizing the entire continent centered around the Capital into dust.

At the moment when the beam touched the surface, there was a seven-second pause in time—the continental plates were simultaneously deconstructed at the quantum level, with the sedimentary rocks of the mountains and the Iron Curtain structures vaporizing like wax under a hot knife, forming a four-thousand-kilometer diameter rainbow-colored plasma vortex.

With one strike, it was like the attack of a primordial meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs, scorching one-tenth of the entire planet from an outer space perspective, turning it into a purgatory.

Equally with this strike, the magic guide ghost god seemed thoroughly drained, the crystal on its chest dimmed and extinguished.

No vengeful souls under the Star-Burning Cannon.

While people slept, a strike was launched at the planet's face, and it was at this moment that the belated World Consciousness began to react, vainly attempting to grapple Xue Dili with gravity. But Xue Dili was 800 kilometers away from the planet, keeping the distance tight, far beyond the atmospheric range. Even the World Consciousness had no means to act against the magic guide ghost god at the edge of gravitational pull, left only with impotent rage.

"Farewell!" With a snap of his fingers, a Teleportation Gate appeared, and Xue Dili plunged into it, as the last bit of energy from the magic guide ghost god was exhausted, dispersing into countless spiritual particles, with his consciousness gradually sinking.

Was he going to merge with the Great Origin of that planet? This is the price of wielding planetary authority.

Human consciousness can only process a minute portion, yet this portion often constitutes his entire "personality." Once in control of the planet's authority, an overwhelming flood of information from across the world inundates the mind in an instant, easily washing away that tiny personality like a tsunami.

So Xue Dili divided his soul into three parts, the soul representing absolute reason was the first to bear the brunt of the information deluge, when reason faltered, the second part of the soul, representing wildness, continued to endure the impact.

He succeeded, but now the duration of authority was almost up, at the time of the Trinity, he would fully integrate with the planet's source.

It seems I was indeed too hasty with the timing...

Subsequently, he felt enveloped as if in an embrace.

The World Consciousness of the Giant Beast Planet asked: "For a world unrelated to you, having achieved such extremes, do you regret it?"

"Regret? Sorry, my youth holds no regrets."

"I'm sorry, I should have reached out to you sooner, but from now on, we'll always be together."

This was the last sentence he heard while conscious, unable even to make more arrangements for his students, only feeling a torrent of information instantly pour into his soul.

Xue Dili ceased to think.

In the deepest part of the Earth Core, a place where no means can find, lies the core of that World Consciousness.

For the first time, it felt something named "possessiveness," the sole "desire" during its billion-year span of cognitive ability.

Wanting to claim him as its own, wanting to be with that child forever, so it could rest and slumber freely, entrusting all worldly affairs under his control.

Knowing him to be a child untempted and undisturbed by any outside force, with a resolve so firm that even the authority of the world leaves him unfazed.

Seeing the three soul segments representing humanity, animality, and divinity, it even felt a sense of gratitude.

Yes, although not raised by hand, this feeling of finding SSR truly could bring joy for billions of years.

Though the process was thrilling, the outcome ultimately was good, thinking thus, with the Trinity, one controlling heaven and earth, one walking the Mortal World, and one sitting in Hell.

Such a perfect setup could be achieved.

Yet suddenly, the barrier between worlds was opened, it heard a voice calling out to Xue Dili, a voice from his homeland, truly waiting for a wanderer to return home.

In the next moment, the tripartite soul immediately became active, moving in the direction of the voice.

"Don't go, I beg of you!" It promptly realized an entity was coming to take Xue Dili home.

But it was unwilling, having finally met a child to its liking, finally solving a problem, with double the happiness stacked, yet why must it be like this.

However, the unconscious soul harbored no hesitation, akin to a moth only knowing to follow the lighthouse.

"No, don't go, I'm truly willing to do anything, give you the best resources, grant you all authority, so I truly am..."

The fragmented soul departed entirely, leaving not a single trace.

This Earth Core, where no one could discover, was left with ineffable emptiness.

...

And when Xue Dili awoke, he suddenly found himself lying in his small home.

The early autumn wind blew through the curtains, scattering his hair. He looked up and saw the date was September 9th.

Memories surged like a tide; he discovered he had lost many memories. He remembered using the magic-guided demon to fire a shot at the Super Iron Curtain and remembered achieving the desired results inside Ronald.

But the last memories about controlling the world's authority had all vanished, seemingly sealed away in the deepest recesses of his memory by a powerful force.

Xue Dili roughly tested the strength; perhaps until he reached Quasi-5th Tier, only then might that deepest memory be unlocked.

"Thank you, Mom, for pulling me out." Looking at the early autumn sun outside the window, he couldn't help but feel a bit lucky. Although being apart felt strange, he thought that situation wasn't good, just something unavoidable.

Only when he once again felt the sunlight, the breeze, and the air did he understand the difference in feeling.

With a nimble flip, he entered his Consciousness Space, where the Zeroth Giant Beast sat alone, motionless like an oversized figurine, with only a few hours left on its countdown.

Xue Dili didn't know where this Giant Beast would end up, but he was willing to share that child's growth with it, hoping it might remember something in the end.

When memories were infused, for a long time, there was no reaction, but when Xue Dili looked up, he saw tears flowing from the Giant Beast's eyes.

Humanity may be as insignificant as a breadcrumb, easily crushed into powder, but once it's powder, no matter how you grind it, it remains powder and is never completely destroyed. This is humanity's last struggle.

In the last few seconds of time disappearing, the Giant Beast's body transformed into light particles, and he seemed to see what the lieutenant originally looked like. He gave a military salute and said, "Goodbye, Monarch."

"Goodbye, Lieutenant."

The two exchanged a smile, and the light particles gradually dispersed.

Xue Dili felt a void, leaving only a scale-like Magic Ring. The moment he picked up the ring, a series of scanned information popped up on the light curtain panel not far away.

[Zeroth Magic Ring (B-Class): A gift from a certain Giant Beast. Once absorbed, grants the abilities of "Super-speed Regeneration" and "Nuclear Energy Control," usable only four times, leveraging the power of the Zeroth.

(Note: The cost of using this power can cause irreversible radiation sickness and damage to a carbon-based body; please use cautiously)]

Xue Dili: "..."

Goodness, really something.

Xue Dili had a retort stuck in his throat, unsure if he could speak it out. The Zeroth Giant Beast possessed top-level power at Tier Four, but for him, if his own body bore this cost, it wouldn't be worth it.

Because he too was at the top of Tier Four, he looked towards another Treasure.

[Magical Mechanic Armor - Celestial Thunder (B-A++ level): A new Treasure born from the super-fusion of the original 'Godslaying Armor - Celestial Thunder' and the "Magical Mechanic Armor - Magic-guided Demon." It has the ability to summon the quasi-5th Tier powerhouse Celestial Thunder Mecha, equipped with an antigravity engine, space adaptation module, stealth module, and more. There are 32 special Mecha spirits stored within this Magical Mechanic Armor, with other special abilities as follows:

Magical Mechanic Armor Command: Grants authority over other Magical Mechanic Armors.

Magic-guided Demon - Thunder Spear: The Celestial Thunder can convert its nuclear energy into thunder, producing up to 300,000 amperes, 1.36 billion volts of energy.

Magic-guided Demon - Incinerating Flame: The Celestial Thunder can convert its nuclear energy into flames, capable of continuous burning at 120 million degrees.

God-exterminating Thunderfire: Celestial Thunder can simultaneously use the power of both thunder and fire.

Final Liberation - Star-Burning World-Destroying Cannon: The Celestial Thunder can execute an ultimate full-power strike by sacrificing two souls, possessing the power to incinerate thousands of kilometers of earth. After completing the final liberation, the Celestial Thunder enters a dormant mode, requiring seven days before it can be used again.

(Note: During the dormancy of the Celestial Thunder, if it is not on Blue Star, it will continue to absorb energy from the body for recovery)]

Powerful! Overbearing! Strong!

The Celestial Thunder, in terms of functionality and practicality, surpasses the Zeroth no matter whether it's the 1.36 billion volts of thunder or the 120 million degrees of burn; for him, the output is entirely sufficient.

Additionally, since it's a product of magical technology, the Celestial Thunder might still have many hidden features not yet discovered by Xue Dili.

And the Celestial Thunder's use of quasi-5th Tier power has no preconditions, unlike the Savior Holy Sword, which is so demanding.

Of course, the cost of this power is also evident, whether sacrificing two souls, the seven-day recharge time, or the continuous energy draw from the body might be an unexpected energy drain for Xue Dili.

But the Zeroth also has the cost of radiation sickness and so on.

So overall, the Celestial Thunder completely outclasses the Zeroth.

But looking at the Magic Ring in his hand, he silently placed it back in his Treasure Shelf, alongside the Birdman Armor and Cursed Blood.

"Thank you, Lieutenant. Although this power might not be very useful to me now, in the end, I hope you have a more perfect life in your next incarnation."
