Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Light of God Destruction

Because of failure, that civilization no longer had a reason to continue cultivating Death Soldiers, and this place was gradually neglected, ultimately being completely sealed off.

Perhaps, some bored individual painted everything that happened into murals and recorded them in these ruins, hoping that one day, subsequent civilizations could glimpse the tip of their civilization’s iceberg and not let their legacy be forgotten by the long river of history.

The black energy wandering within the ruins was the tool this civilization used for testing humans.

In the ruins, there was something that caught the eye, which was like a congregation of black energy similar to Slime.

According to Yang Yu’s conjecture, the special AI—black energy—created by that civilization may have undergone some transformation over the long years, with some even developing their own consciousness, shifting from aimless, floating black energy into a physical "creature."

During this lengthy period, it’s even possible that they developed a mind.

Perhaps, at the very beginning, that civilization just wanted to create Death Soldiers more perfectly, so they gave the black energy AI the ability to optimize itself, but they could not foresee that this self-optimizing AI, over a long time in the ruins, played out a Cretaceous-like explosion of life and survival of the fittest drama.

And the one that ultimately survived, controlling all the black energy, was the consciousness that now occupied Kaka’s body.

When Yang Yu saw the destroyed murals, he felt that this destruction was too deliberate and thus formed this absurd yet logically consistent hypothesis.

And this hypothesis was ultimately corroborated when he obtained the crystal stone from the Holy Grail.

The moment he touched the purple crystal stone, a framed golden Task popped up on Yang Yu’s task interface.

[Urgent Task, Origin Subjugation—Light of God Destruction

Task Description: In the river of time, every civilization has countless possibilities.

In an ancient era unknown to man, there existed a highly advanced civilization that, despite having flourished and soared with wings, encountered an unprecedented despair one day.

This despair became a stumbling block in the development of their civilization.

To break the technological limits and to prove that there are no real gods in this world,

They exhausted everything, tried all means, and some even became "creators," but ultimately they still couldn’t break the limitations and could only head towards demise.

By a stroke of fate, you have found the last trace left by that civilization, but, their legacy seems to have become a stumbling block for the development of this world.

Task Requirement: Prevent the spread of [Despair], persuade or utterly destroy the consciousness born from [Despair Breath] known as[Light of God Destruction].

Task Reward: Free attribute points +100, Skill Points +100, Eleven Consecutive Draws (guaranteed at least one Rare or higher item, including a guaranteed Rare Skill), Title: [Unyielding to Despair], when Life Value falls below 10%, All Attributes increase by 100%

It was precisely because this task appeared in the system that Yang Yu had a reason to confront the consciousness occupying Kaka’s body, the Light of God Destruction.

Listening to Yang Yu explain everything word by word, the Light of God Destruction’s face showed horror; what Yang Yu said was exactly right, as if he had thoroughly read the mural it had painstakingly destroyed.

Black gas slowly drifted from the ground and gathered onto the body of the Light of God Destruction.

Now, it no longer bore the appearance of a Fairy but rather resembled a small demon that had crawled out from Hell, its pupils emitting a red light,

"Answer me! Why do you know so much? Where exactly did you find out about these things?"

Yang Yu gave a slight smile; his frantic trembling hands gradually stopped.

"It doesn’t matter how I know. What’s important is that today, I will completely bury the past."

"Arrogant! Today, I’ll show you how insignificant your humans are, how fragile the human will is."

Light of God Destruction sneered. In its view, even if Yang Yu could seal the darkness, defeat its test subject, and know many things, he was still just an insignificant human.

Over the centuries, Light of God Destruction had seen many magicians far more powerful than Yang Yu.

Feeling the aura of weakness emanating from Yang Yu, Light of God Destruction felt somewhat fortunate that it was Yang Yu who had come, not someone else.

If it had been someone else, it would have had to expend some effort to break open a hole and escape this accursed cage, instead of, as now, having the upper hand, daring to confront Yang Yu.

"People often say similar things to me. To tell the truth, I may indeed have an attribute disadvantage.

But, unless there’s a complete and utter overpowering of attributes, the difference between attributes can be compensated for with skill and awareness.

And these aren’t things you can easily learn in a survival of the fittest situation."

Yang Yu cracked a slight smile, his hands moving through the air, entering the final settlement interface.

[Congratulations Player for clearing the Snake.]

Although he said he was buying time for the fairies to find refuge, in reality, Yang Yu was also buying time for himself.

For Yang Yu, a side-scrolling game like Snake wasn’t particularly challenging.

Even if he chatted and played the game single-handedly, he could still perfectly hit every scoring point, achieving the highest score. It just unexpectedly took a bit of time, since the graphics wouldn’t speed up just because you cleared the mobs quickly, you had to take it slow.

[Congratulations Player for achieving the highest score ever.

Evaluation: Unbelievable.

Congratulations Player on earning the title, [Coach, I Want to Learn Shooting] — All ranged attacks increase by 5% damage.]

Yang Yu quickly accessed the Level-up Sugar interface and tapped use.

[Fairy Race Level Limit Enhancement Sugar (Top Grade), upon use, level cap +15, and grants a Fairy Skill.]

A warm surge flowed through Yang Yu, the long-unmoved level cap finally changed, advancing from level 40 to 41.

But, that wasn’t the most important part. The key was he could get a skill for free.

[Since you’ve used the highest-rated Racial Essence, you qualify to obtain one Fairy Skill.

Please choose one of the following skills:

[Fairy Cage], creates a golden cage to imprison a person. If the cage is not attacked from the inside, it can last indefinitely. (Acquisition success chance 75%)

[Light Body]— Passive Skill, reduces own body weight and the weight of carried items by half, can be deactivated. (Acquisition success chance 75%)

Damn, not a single useful skill.
