CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 4: LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT! PEERING INTO THE FUTURE (PART 4)

Relying on the ritual power of the Earth Mother Goddess, you transformed yourself into a half-plant, half-human life form. You delved into the deepest underground, surviving the ’Purification Agreement’ launched by the Mechanical Church by drawing on the nutrients of the earth.

But just as you were about to escape the Nest City, the divine punishment of the Steel Angels descended!

The ever-intensifying void corruption prompted the Mechanical Church to activate the ’Extinction Order’ that had been sealed for centuries. The entire Nest City was wiped off the map.

You encountered an unknown nuclear strike!

Although you temporarily survived tenaciously, you soon died from exhaustion of life energy."

Damn!

The Mechanical Divine Sect actually dropped a nuclear bomb?

No consideration for ethics.

At this moment, Duncan’s original consciousness had already overlapped with the first human form. Relying on immense power, he continued to extrapolate future possibilities.

——"Law of Cause and Effect [Experience Settlement]:

In Branch Three, you decided to accompany Tassia to excavate the underground ruins. During this process, you saved her life several times, gaining her favor. Through her, you joined the rebels and learned the astonishing secret of this world.

The seven Guardian Angels had betrayed the God of Machinery!

They combined forces to kill the God of Machinery’s earthly vessel, sealing the shattered remains into the pyramids, providing vast computational power to maintain the world’s operation. The fragments of the God of Machinery became tools for converting the Power of Faith, leading the Mechanical Divine Sect to escape their control and guide the world onto an unknown path of civilization.

A year later, the following Dark Blood Sacrifice didn’t affect you, but the rebels decided to seize the opportunity to launch an uprising, capturing the pyramids near the Nest City to reclaim a relic of the God of Machinery.

But this action triggered the terrifying suppression by the Mechanical Divine Sect, upgrading the Purification Agreement to a large-scale Extinction Order.

You encountered an unknown nuclear strike!

The entire rebel force was annihilated, and you also perished under the bombing of the nuclear strike."

Holy shit?!

The God of Machinery is dead?

No, no.

It was the God of Machinery’s earthly vessel that the seven Guardian Angels killed?

Duncan was shocked.

The extrapolation of the Law of Cause and Effect can’t anchor the future, but it can lock into past events because established facts exist within the law.

The information deduced by the Law of Cause and Effect at this moment was overwhelming.

Duncan had to pause for a moment.

"No, that’s not right."

"The breaking point should still be with the cultists!"

Looking at the three branches of the law’s extrapolation, Duncan thought to himself, "If I could have killed all the cultists beforehand, wouldn’t it prevent the Mechanical Divine Sect’s Great Purge from being triggered?"

"And without chaos, the rebels wouldn’t start an uprising."

"Then there wouldn’t be the subsequent Extinction Order."

"I wouldn’t be blown up by a nuclear bomb either?"

But there’s still one problem.

And that is which branch path Duncan should take; Branch One is the orthodox path because the power of the Mechanical Divine Sect is too strong.

This is an extremely theocratic nation.

Generally, each Nest City’s administrative governor is appointed by the Mechanical Divine Sect. Although the church doesn’t intervene much in secular management, the political system remains under the church’s control.

If it’s Branch Two, the vitality is truly resilient.

In this branch, the third human form surprisingly withstands a nuclear strike, though later dies from exhaustion of life energy, but wasn’t blown up at that time.

A half-plant, half-human life form?

This world’s transformation ritual from the Mysterious Era? It seems to be a kind of ascension in life form!

As for Branch Three.

If you join the rebels, there will be a girl, and you can enjoy the thrill of a nuclear bombardment—nothing much to say, just one word: ’exciting.’

"Because there was no contact with the cultists."

"So you can’t start the cultist’s branch extrapolation, right?"

"Not quite."

"I acquired the Poisonous Snake’s Blood, which is the bloodline ability of the cult leader."

"How come the cultist’s branch can’t be started?"

Duncan attempted to actively extrapolate the future.

At this moment, the Dimension Space trembled slightly, and the feather-like nebula and Mechanical Pyramid Nebula simultaneously emitted a faint light. Utilizing the position of the first human form, Duncan attempted to initiate the ability of foreseeing the future.

——"Law of Cause and Effect [Experience Settlement]:

In Branch Four, you quickly joined another cult organization with the ability of Poisonous Snake’s Blood and were heavily relied upon.

A year later, you discovered the secret of the Dark Blood Sacrifice and sensed the danger.

They were too reckless.

Only you are the best leader.

Before the Dark Ceremony was launched, you conspired to usurp power, leading your subordinates who depended on Mind Domination to murder the cult leader and his trusted followers, and soon you took control of the cult organization in the area.

A cataclysm occurred due to your usurpation.

You quickly infiltrated the government departments of Nest City, relying on a disguised identity to ascend to the upper class. Within just a few years, you mastered the lower districts of the entire Nest City, and held significant influence in the upper districts. You sought to gain the power of the Nest Governor, aiming to become the Dark Lord behind-the-scenes controlling everything in the Nest City.

But your pursuit of power also intensified the corrosion you suffered.

Finally.

As you transcended the mortal limits, utilizing the power of Void Creatures to complete the promotion, becoming a Legendary Creature, you were betrayed by them; they fought for your body.

Ultimately, the Void Monarch succeeded in possessing the form, acquiring a very powerful and perfect Legendary human vessel. (Dragon Bloodline, Giant Bloodline)

The laws of reality were distorted.

Numerous steel creations transformed into fleshy demon nests, with the flesh plague spreading in all directions, eventually leading to over a dozen Western Hemisphere Nest Cities becoming womb-nest hosts for the descent of Void Creatures.

Millions of Void Demons poured into the real world, greedily and hungrily devouring souls.

The Mechanical Divine Sect, upon realizing this, immediately activated the Extinction Order, yet the strategic nuclear strikes could not kill the Void Monarch who had taken over your body.

Eventually, the church initiated the grand miracle ritual of ’Mechanical Divine Descent.’

Religious wonders were activated.

Two of the seven great angels, Steel Angels and Clock Angels, descended into the real world, and the invasion of Void Creatures was ultimately suppressed by the Guardian Angels. The entire continental shelf of the Western Hemisphere was severely damaged, with seawater flooding many Nest Cities, obliterating countless lives.

Your perfect body was destroyed, the Void Monarch was severely wounded and retreated to the Chaos Zone, and eventually, only a skull was transformed by the Mechanical Divine Sect into a relic to store the fragmented remains of the God of Machinery."

It seems none of the endings involve dying of old age.

The cultist branch actively extrapolated by Duncan leads to even more terrible disasters, as the engraved bloodline ability has already been effective and will grow stronger over time. If the third human form falls into the hands of the Void Monarch, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

This world doesn’t have many with a Mythical Bloodline.

"But even so?"

"The Mechanical Divine Sect can still suppress it?"

At this moment, Duncan was somewhat amazed at the power possessed by the Mechanical Divine Sect; only two of the seven Guardian Angels descended, yet they slew the Void Monarch who possessed Dragon Bloodline and Giant Bloodline.

If all seven Guardian Angels descended, how powerful would they become?

Maybe I should just become a gearhead?
