'It's fine if you don't help but at least don't add to the chaos…'
I muttered as I had no intention to be bogged down by a few Pig Teammates…
'So it was better to kill them all and make the Situation more chaotic…
Anyways the Goddesses will take care of the Aftermath…
If those priests in the capital can't even do this then it's better to simply die…'
The Goddesses sighed hearing my monologue but they didn't mind this kind of work since it was their responsibility to begin with…
So they also began directing their subordinates to guide the others…
I remained seated on my throne, my chin resting on my hand, as I continued to fire the Void Discharge map cannon just like the Honkai Queen…
'Ahhh, Praise the Honkai!!!'
I thought in amusement…
For the next three hours, I systematically mowed down the next twenty kilometers of monsters…
Each snap of my fingers sent a rain of light-spears that cleared the [Black Calamity] with the rhythmic precision of a factory machine…
I kept firing long Range to Clear as much as possible while also turning the land golden with highly concentrated Light Element to prevent the advance of the Evil of the World later on…
With this much Barrage even that Gilgamesh won't have enough Fuel…
After all even during seventh singularity of the Goddess of War-craft he didn't have the Mana to bombard for several hours…
And so…
While the world saw a Hero casually destroying an army, Mu Zhong's mind was operating like an overclocked supercomputer...
He had activated Shadow Lord (Red Talent) for absolute sensory concealment and pushed Analysis and Observe (Red Talent) to its theoretical limit that could be activated under his special Physique...
Along with that was the Super Computer (Red Talent) which Categorized results at high speeds…
[SENSORY DATA FEED: INITIALIZED]
[Target: The [Black Calamity] / Sub-Target: Julian (Conceptual Center)]
[Scale: 50km Radius / Depth: Molecular & Spiritual Analysis]
Mu Zhong's internal monitor began to display disturbing, high-contrast data...
He processed the information with a cold, scientific detachment:
1. Macro-BehavioralAnomaly (The "Sieving" Effect):a.Analysis of the [Black Calamity]'s movementvectors over the last 20 years reveals a 98.4% deviation from optimal conquest strategies…b.Based on the Aggression Coefficients ofthe "Evil of the World," the army should have bypassed the fortified Vesla Fortress ten kilometers ago…c.By flanking the fort, the Calamity could havestruck the soft supply lines and civilian centers of Valroy, ending the war in less than six months…d.Instead, the army is concentrating 92% of itsmass on a single, high-resistance point…e.This is not a "siege"; it is anintentional redirection of force…
So this Explains why the Fortress kept receiving more forces instead of going around and attacking everywhere…
I nodded mentally…
2. Mana-SignatureDecay & Sentience Tracesa.Molecular analysis of the "[Black Calamity]" soldiers shows that their mana is indeedchaotic buts till contains traces of Control…b.Within each Black deformed monsters, there is a Threadof control that manipulates their instincts to only focus on the fortress or other Turtle shells…c.This mana signature is a 98.7% match for the HeroJulian…d.However, the signals are fragmented…e.It is as if a puppeteer is trying his best todelay something inevitable through commands while the [Black Calamity] continues to move based on its instinct…
This explains that Julian being the center of the [Black Calamity] is trying his best to restrain the army…
He must have also tried to stop it when he gained his bearings but he couldn't stop the Evil of the World so he tried all sorts of actions to delay the extinction of Humanity…
He even managed to delay World destruction for 20 Years within the Space time Array until Heaven finally sent support…
I nodded as I looked at the third result…
The Julian Hypothesis (Theoretical Conclusion):
Current State: SSS-Rank False God (Lesser Divinity)
Julian has successfully completed his Ascension with the "Evil of the World," gaining the necessary sacrifices after destroying almost the entire world, providing him with infinite energy but at the cost of his autonomous agency…
Control Status: Julian is the Evil of the World but the Evil of the World is not Julian…
Julian is driven by instinct mostly but can still do micro manipulation…
Proving that Julian's remaining core consciousness is still present and functional…
Hypothesis: Julian is sentient but unable to stop this Atrocity…
He cannot stop the "Evil of the World", but he can influence its direction…
He attacks fortresses specifically because they are the strongest points of human resistance…
By forcing the monsters into a "Meat Grinder" against fortresses like Vesla, he prevents them from spreading across the continent and ensures the war remains a linear, front-facing struggle…
He is effectively buying time—hoping for a variable (a Hero) that can kill him before the end comes…
Mu Zhong nodded slowly, the throne of light beneath him flickering with his mounting irritation…
It was a tragic realization based on highly convincing clues...
Julian wasn't the commander of the apocalypse; he was its most stubborn prisoner, sabotaging his own genocide from the inside for twenty agonizing years...
'He's a ghost in the machine,'
Mu Zhong thought…
'He's been fighting a war on two fronts—one against humanity, and a much harder one against himself…
No wonder the world is still safe…
Julian is trying his best to Delay time…
He should know that if someone challenges him then it will be difficult to stop the instincts of the body so he is intentionally staying at the back to let others last longer…
But this also shows that he no longer believes in humanity but firmly believes that the Goddesses would stop his atrocity…'
[Affirmative]
'After all, he was betrayed so badly…
He must still have resentment but he is also a kind person who has never hurt an innocent…
Becoming such a calamity and a sinner must be mortifying…'
I thought in somberness while facing the [Black Calamity], not letting those behind me see my coldness…
After three hours of continuous bombardment, the map was clear for twenty kilometers…
The "Sea of Ink" had been pushed back beyond the horizon, leaving only the charred, gold-stained earth…
Mu Zhong stood from his red-gold throne, the manifested seat dissolving into golden motes of dust that drifted away on the ashen wind…
He didn't fly back with a dramatic display of power…
