The violent force was unleashed on the fragile plate structure. The chain reaction below was beyond Lin Yi's current information-based capabilities, though he intended to deal with it. However, the tsunami, which had already reached a height of over 500 meters, was still under control.

The AT force field forms a covering position on the sea surface, forcibly suppressing the surging tides before they could trigger an unprecedented tsunami. In an instant, the space where the entire ocean is located is divided into two independent spaces above the sea level.

Above, all was calm, not even a ripple; below, the waves surged, billions of tons of matter churning beneath the surface, carrying the scattered remains of the Deepsea diver towards more distant waters… If this world has a future, it is believed that intelligent beings will be able to discover many “interesting” things from these remains.

"Another earthquake."

Aria was no longer bothered by the frequent earthquakes that had occurred repeatedly since his return. After all, the real apocalypse had already arrived, so one more wouldn't make much difference.

In contrast, Aria was more worried about her companion, whose whereabouts were still unknown.

"That guy just dumped us in this strange place like that."

Aria was no stranger to Lin Yi's ability to instantly teleport her to a distant place. In fact, in her understanding of "transmigrators," it would be strange if a transmigrator didn't possess such an ability. This was one of the reasons she decided to return to this world. She had thought that if Lin Yi, this "transmigrator," was willing to help her, even if he couldn't save the world, he could at least rescue Xingjia Baixue and her former companions. However, she never expected that this world would become so unfamiliar after only a short time away.

Yes, unfamiliar.

Whether it was the whispers that kept echoing in her ears, the "past" that kept appearing before her eyes, or the statements made by her friend Xingjia Baixue that she had thought were crazy not long ago but was now gradually accepting, all of this made her feel genuinely unfamiliar.

"Come back soon..."

Covering her ears, she thought she could shut out the whispers from the outside world, but things didn't go as planned.

“Aria, you have betrayed the great Nyarlathotep.”

"……Eh?"

He looked up blankly and saw the priestess's indifferent gaze, and a sharp blade that had appeared in her hand and was pointing straight at his heart.

"Snow White? What are you doing?"

"You brought 'outer gods' who don't belong to this world into this world. Isn't that a betrayal of us?"

"No! I just wanted to save you—"

"save?"

The priestess looked puzzled: "What are you talking about? Who told you to save me?"

"..."

Aria was certain that her former friend had gone mad, so she gave up trying to persuade her with words and instead gripped the twin swords beside her: "You can't understand me now... Snow White, you've gone mad, not just a lost one, not just a blind one, but something even madder than them."

"No, it's you who's gone mad, Aria."

The priestess's eyes flickered with emotions that Aria could not comprehend—a mixture of fervor, anticipation, bewilderment, and struggle: "You have clearly noticed the existence of the great Nyarlathotep, so why do you still resist it?"

"I……"

The girl tried to refute it, calling it a lie, a deception, and a cunning act. However, once she opened her mouth, she realized that these were all false appearances she used to comfort herself. It was precisely because she knew very well that what it kept telling her was true that she subconsciously refused to accept it.

"Bai Xue, we..."

Under that gaze that seemed both encouraging and coercive, the girl's spirit suffered immense pressure. If Lin Yi were here, he could clearly see the entire process of her mental pollution level changing from 81% to 99%.

Finally, Aria asked softly in a hoarse voice, as if she had been thirsty for a long time, "Are we all fake?"

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 654 Scarlet Bullet: Survival of the Apocalypse (End)

—You, the people and things you value, and this world—all of these are false existences created according to a certain "blueprint," which can be ignored, discarded, and consumed at any time.

An unknown entity told her this information, and as evidence, Aria saw her "past," a past that she experienced again and again, only to be erased and restarted again and again.

Having once joined the "Imagination Organization," she thought she understood everything, but was that really the case?

Humans possess possibilities, but data is not human, so it does not possess possibilities. Even with the interference of the Golden Clan, this data, which believes it has escaped "fate," can never escape the limitations of being data.

They merely recognize themselves on a "storyline," and then, with their identification with themselves on that "storyline," they leave one storyline and enter another, never considering how many times they had experienced the same reenactments before, what they had gained in those reenactments, or what kind of suffering they had endured.

Kanzaki H. Aria, the female protagonist of "Aria the Scarlet Ammo," is a detective who inherited the surname "Sherlock Holmes."

She lived a happy life, had the people and things she loved, found meaning in her existence, and poured everything into it... In the end, all of that disappeared.

She endured a life of suffering, having everything taken from her by an intruding time traveler, acting in revenge only to be easily defeated, and ultimately spending her life in regret and torment... In the end, all of that vanished.

Each reboot is a reenactment of the journey of "Kanzaki H. Aria" from birth to death. In these journeys, she experienced success and failure, felt happiness and understood what despair is. But in the end, all of these experiences return to their origin with the appearance of "reboot".

As the unknown entity told her, she was a fake being created in imitation of a real being, existing only to be ignored, abandoned, and consumed. Apart from that, there was not a single thing in this world that truly belonged to Kanzaki H. Aria.

The girl suddenly realized the truth.

"Nyarlathotep?"

Facing the strange being who appeared before him, bearing the appearance of "Stargazer Snow," Lin Yi asked curiously, "Is it another Great One?"

It seems that in addition to acquiring Hoshiga Shirayuki's appearance, the "shrine maiden" also gained other aspects of her. She revealed a gentle smile—perhaps this is the Hoshiga Shirayuki that Aria knows.

“Here, we are also called ‘Outer Gods’.”

"I initially thought this name was just an unintentional coincidence, but it seems that the closed system noticed the intrusion of beings like you and directly categorized all external intruders into the same type."

It is both the Old Ones and the Outer Gods, and is metaphorically described as something unknowable, undiscussable, incomprehensible, and inconceivable.

Of course, as one of the three pillar gods, Nyarlathotep was far less blind than Dagon the Deep, who rushed in with his true form without knowing anything about this world: only a fool would place his existence in a false space controlled by other beings.

Even if Lin Yi doesn't intervene, when the "fragments" decide to restart or destroy this world, the Deep Ones who brought their entire existence here will not escape the fate of being destroyed.

Those who truly understand the essence of this world choose to enter as clones or agents, just like Nyarlathotep before us. He chooses to spread his forbidden knowledge in this world, enticing the data to access "knowledge" that they cannot access—that is, the information about the "past" that is forbidden to them by the "fragment" rules.

Unlike real humans, the limitations of data entities mean they cannot carry too much information. If they come into contact with too much information, even if it is all real, it will cause the data entity to collapse, and this collapse is irreversible. The outward manifestation is that the natives are shocked by a large amount of information from the past and mutate into a bloated, non-human shape.

This is also the origin of the so-called "lost ones" and "blind ones." They are not lost in the unknown, but lost in the known. Then, through repeated questioning and denial of their own existence, they become blind and give up all perception and contact with the outside world.

Another form of self-denial.

In a sense, the Outer Gods' infection in this world is similar to the "famine" that Lin Yi spread in the One-Punch Man world. Both are eroding the data entities inside the false world in a special way, and then making them break free from the control of the "fragments" through irreversible "absorption" or "mutation". The only difference is that Lin Yi's destruction was one-time, while these Outer Gods seem to want to achieve long-term erosion of this world through this mutation method, using it as a springboard to invade the closed system.

“Azathoth has turned its gaze here. Its unknowability makes it impossible for us to understand the meaning of its actions, but the Great Old Ones still choose to erode this realm, even though its essence is false and devoid of anything.”

"Starry Snow" spoke in a gentle voice: "During the erosion process, I found a rare toy."

Even if Nyarlathotep doesn't explicitly state it, its choices and habitual actions regarding this body reveal who it refers to.

"At first, she resisted reality with the strongest will, preferring to immerse herself in falsehood rather than confront the truth. But after realizing the truth, she used the strongest will to deny the falsehood. Among the toys I've encountered, those with such pure yet chaotic qualities are quite rare. If it weren't for this false world, I would even want her to become a part of me."

Lin Yi remained noncommittal: "She's lucky."

Without responding to Lin Yi's words, which were perhaps sarcastic, "Xingjia Baixue" asked in a gentle tone, "Even so, you still don't plan to leave?"

"Give me the fourth signpost and I'll go."

“That is the ‘key’ for the Great Old Ones to enter this world.”

"What does that have to do with me?"

Xingjia Baixue sighed: "The child you brought in also has some good qualities. I originally wanted to keep her 'free' for a while."

At this point, Nyarlathotep's avatar, possessing chaotic qualities, unexpectedly smiled again: "She is the only marker you use to anchor this world whose coordinates are constantly being altered by Azathoth's unknowable qualities, isn't she? Otherwise, as an Outer God, you would have no need to pay attention to a data entity at all."

"so?"

"So, I let her also come into contact with the 'truth'."

Number 00 (Kanzaki H. Aria)

Mental pollution level: 100%

His perception of this ever-changing, unknowable world blurred for a moment, and the face of "Xingjia Baixue" before him twisted wildly, contorting from a human form into an indescribable distorted shape. Facing the chaotic sounds that it unconsciously spread, Lin Yi stretched out his hand before the coordinates were completely severed—

Reverse.

Number 00 (Kanzaki H. Aria)

Mental pollution level: 0%

At the same time, every individual in the world who still retained a shred of reason subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The thick radiation cloud dissipated at a visible speed, and the bright sunlight shone on the earth again. The root of all chaos seemed to have vanished without a trace. The murky sea returned to its azure blue, and the ravaged land returned to peace. Ruins, flames, death... everything seemed to have been completely negated.

From the destination we have already reached, we reverse and return to the starting point where nothing has yet happened.

Standing on the bustling street, Lin Yi glanced at the interface that only he could see.

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 655 Aria the Scarlet Ammo (1)

“...Li...Ya...Ya?"

Awakening from a hazy state of consciousness, the first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to grab the twin swords beside her, but instinctively she missed them.

"Aria?"

The girl, who expected to be torn apart by an attack, did not feel any pain for a long time. As the questioning voice of "Aria" came again, she looked in surprise in the direction from which the voice came.

A black-haired boy, roughly the same age as Aria, was standing there. His clothes seemed strangely familiar to Aria; she remembered them as the uniform of her Armed Detective High School, and...

"Detective Department?"

Muttering to herself in a voice only she could hear, Aria then realized that she was sitting on the ground.

"No, I clearly just now..."

Aria did not resist the worried gaze of the "stranger" in front of her. She was even reluctant to admit that she was secretly pleased. But compared to this, the huge unease in her heart, as if something was missing, was much stronger.

Just then, the black-haired boy in front of him spoke up: "You suddenly collapsed for some reason, which startled me. Are you sure you don't need to go to the infirmary? Or should we suspend this mission?"

"No, the mission continues."

Even though they knew nothing, Aria still answered in her usual way: Holmes's name must not be tarnished, and even the most insignificant task must be undertaken with utmost effort.

The immense unease remained, but having received no answers whatsoever, Aria could only act according to the memories she could recall.

Her name is Kanzaki H. Aria, an S-rank armed detective studying in the Assault Department. She has accepted a mission from a mysterious person and is preparing to go to the mission location to carry out the mission.

Her partner, the black-haired boy in front of her, is named Kinji Toyama. He's also from the Armed Detective Agency, though his ranking is only so-so. The reason he joined her team was due to some unexpected factors, but more importantly...

"I like him?"

As she recalled this, Aria's face turned red, and even the great unease that had been weighing on her mind was somewhat erased.

For a girl who has never experienced this kind of feeling, the concept of "love" is completely in the realm of fantasy. She has never even held hands, let alone kissed. Now, suddenly, a scene of the two of them being alone together, as if they were on a date, is presented. Naturally, she will feel nervous.

Did I lose consciousness because I was too nervous?

The girl, having reached this conclusion, became increasingly embarrassed and angry. So much so that when Kinji Toyama asked her to confirm her condition again, Aria shouted emotionally, "Urusai urusai! I said I'm fine, so I'm fine—if you keep nagging, I'll make holes in you!"

It's clear that Kinji Toyama has gotten used to this reaction, and he even breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Aria's classic "tsundere" behavior.

"Yes yes yes~"

Meanwhile, at their destination.

Your actions are meaningless.

The consciousness linked to the information body is far less vast than that of the Deep Ones; let alone causing chaos in the surrounding rules and data, it even has some difficulty maintaining itself.
