The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Chapter 549 The Spark

Even with some breathing room, the current situation is still far from optimistic.

Within just a few days of the 'Fragment's' awakening, nearly 60% of the magic and related products had become completely ineffective.

Because magic itself requires energy provided by the planet to take shape—and now that the power of the stars is being devoured, this convenient power has naturally become a source of nothing.

The biggest problem is that human vitality is actually an evolutionary product of stellar power.

"The current situation... is nearing its limit."

The magic that sustains civilization is rapidly fading, and life could suddenly vanish at any moment—perhaps in just a few days, this world will come to an end.

"I've already contacted the Mage's Guild and asked Miss Spider to use the equipment on the White Bird to help them set up a temporary shelter, but..."

"If the erosion continues, even the shelters won't last long."

Because the 'fragments' prey on the most fundamental 'energy' necessary for life to survive on this planet.

Aarons could roughly imagine how terrifying it would be if the world in his previous life suddenly lost its power one day... so he knew he didn't have time to waste.

Although Huang Yayin and Ye Xiao temporarily suppressed the 'fragments' erosion of the world with their abilities before leaving, this could only buy them a short period of time.

"Now that we have made preparations for evacuation, I will begin to explain the battle plan—I will abandon Dawn White Bird."

Because the operational meeting was broadcast live to all crew members, everyone who heard this was so surprised that they held their breath.

Because its internal Star Pulse Furnace can remotely replenish energy from inside the planet, the White Bird is currently the only super-standard weapon that can still function normally... But Aarons actually intends to abandon it?

"Teacher Ya Yin has already taught us that our enemy is not a grunt that can be dealt with by cannons or magic—it will devour all the star power on this planet and eventually gnaw away at the remaining matter."

Even if the 'fragment' is insignificant compared to the main body, it is still a part of the supreme deity in this universe.

Therefore, to resist that unreasonable power, one must pay a high price.

"That's why I'm going to use the white bird as bait to lure it in—once it swallows the white bird mixed with other things, we'll have a chance to kill it when it's indigestion."

Huang Yayin once emphasized that the "fragments" cannot switch predation concepts as quickly as the main body.

After consuming a concept that does not belong to its current prey, it will temporarily transform into the corresponding form in order to digest those concepts—in this process, its properties will also become the same as those of the prey.

Therefore, as long as we reduce its size with powerful firepower at this time, we can effectively damage its core... or even completely eliminate it.

"But I must also say that this tactic is only theoretically feasible."

"This……"

“We don’t know how long it will take for the ‘fragment’ to completely digest the White Bird, nor do we know what kind of power it will exert in the process… We don’t even have a chance to test it, yet we have to put a theory that no one has ever verified into practice.”

Huang Yayin once said that even the hero who came a thousand years ago specifically to solve this problem did not have a way to destroy the 'fragment' while ensuring the planet's integrity.

But Aarons' abilities give him the potential to turn this theoretical possibility into reality.

"Although failure is inevitable... I've come this far not so that I could sigh in vain."

It is precisely because human beings have always held their own destiny in their own hands that they have the right to call themselves primates.

As the "King of Men" who can lead them into the next era, Aarons naturally would not back down in the face of battle.

"Therefore, in the name of Aarons Zhou, captain of the Dawn White Bird, I hereby order all crew members to abandon ship immediately, transfer the White Bird's equipment to the shelter, and direct and coordinate the other humans to take refuge."

Although it was merely a temporary shelter built on the ruins of Pendermore, with Aarons's abilities, it might actually be able to preserve a spark of life on this planet.

"I'll have Aru and Zhuying come over to help later. I'll transform the shelter into one that can withstand space drift by tomorrow—although it might seem a bit shameful, it's a human privilege to struggle to the last moment of life by any means necessary."

Just as Night Owl said before—if Aarons had come to this world at the normal time and in the normal way, then human civilization might have already been unified and begun to move towards the universe and enter the next era.

If that were the case, even if the planet were eventually devoured by the awakened fragments of the gods, life on it could still be sustained... But now, he has no choice but to gamble the fate of the entire planet and confront an opponent that is almost impossible to defeat head-on.

What's most heartbreaking is that hardly anyone even knows of such a person's existence.

"Does anyone have any objections? If so, please leave now."

The women's group certainly couldn't withdraw, and the crew members were already being relocated to the shelter, so it was no different from withdrawing.

Aarons had no intention of listening to anyone's opinions—he had already taken out the celestial sphere stored in his eye socket and spread his abilities through the White Bird's broadcast.

"The compilation of phenomena"—that is the malicious power to arbitrarily add to, subtract from, or alter reality as long as a sufficient price is paid.

Aarons simply used this ability to completely alter the mindset of the White Bird crew, causing them to unknowingly abandon any thoughts of resistance.

Such arrogant and vile behavior is precisely proof of his right to be king.

"Because ordinary people would only get in the way during battles of this scale, they should just hide and survive."

Aarons planned to move everything the White Bird had except the Star Pulse Furnace into the shelter, and then transform the shelter into an ark capable of space travel.

With Spider Cherry, an alien creation that has stored a lot of data related to space travel, even if Aarons has never seen a spaceship before, he can forcibly create a replacement with sufficient performance according to the blueprint.

After all, he has nothing else to use except the star power directly provided by the planet's core.

"The meeting is now adjourned—everyone get to work immediately! We must complete the shelter before the erosion resumes!"

Even if the final outcome is still up to fate, Aarons must first finish what he can do.
