After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 511 - 201 Second Loop

"System, do you understand the DLC plot?" Xi Mu asked. He needed to know the related plot of the DLC in order to adjust his actions and form a corresponding plan, otherwise, he’d have to try more.

"Understood," the system replied, "I can tell you all about the DLC plot, host."

Xi Mu nodded: "Mm."

"The plot of the DLC is initiated by the Time Witch and the extraterritorial demon," the system organized its words, "To resolve the crisis of Ragnarok, the extraterritorial demon and the Time Witch infiltrated the seal, hastening Ragnarok by ten thousand years as a condition, causing the Flame Giant Surter to volunteer to implant a specific personality, and to forget the content of the contract after its completion."

Xi Mu nodded: "The purpose of doing this is to buy time using this implanted personality after the Flame Giant Surter burns the world, right?"

There’s a setting regarding basic impulses in this world, similar to humans’ desire to reproduce, and the very essence of the Flame Giant Surter is to burn the world, an impulse that constructs his personality.

However, after burning the world, this basic impulse naturally disappears, transforming into a creative impulse.

But this transformation process has a time lag, allowing the originally hidden personality to momentarily revive.

Without accident, the Time Witch intended to use the implanted personality to achieve her plan.

"Exactly," the system said, "In such a background, players will fight with past heroes, gradually growing into beings capable of defeating the King of Ash."

Xi Mu stretched out his hand, flames igniting at his fingertips: "Now, I am the King of Ash."

The system’s voice was somewhat entangled: "It’s strange for a player to become the King of Ash."

"It can’t be helped, you should have told me earlier that this world truly existed," Xi Mu said in an indistinct tone, "System, do you have any suggestions on how to resolve the current situation?"

It was impossible to say he had no feelings towards the system, but that certainly didn’t mean he should curse it; that was completely pointless. The priority was to address the current situation, not vent emotions on the system.

Not to mention the system had saved his life.

"I do!" The system seemed flustered, as if to prove its worth, "Just develop the player’s power to omnipotence, then use the power of the King of Ash to redefine the old world’s rules."

Xi Mu asked, "Isn’t it necessary to take over the world’s ruling power?"

"The birth of the King of Ash itself forms the world’s ruling power," the system quickly explained, "Just spread new rules for the Ash World by developing your power to an omnipotent level."

He thought for a moment.

"The essence of Ragnarok is the unrecoverable errors in the God of Omniscience’s laws, the world must be rebooted. Either burning away this world or being a Creator, both are processes of rebooting," he said.

"If the Flame Giant Surter is also omnipotent," Xi Mu’s voice subtly shifted, "could he impart a new order to the Ash World?"

"But he is merely a puppet in Ragnarok," the system explained, "Even if he reaches omnipotence, he will only eliminate all errors completely, then create a world belonging to the flames, and continue to accumulate errors until the flame world plunges into eternal darkness."

Xi Mu asked, "Would creating a world also accumulate errors?"

"Unless you reach an All-Powerful, omniscient level, errors would inevitably accumulate continuously," the system earnestly explained, "Even the world you come from has similar issues, only that its time is so prolonged as to be negligible to humans."

Xi Mu raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Having realized this world was real, he naturally had corresponding thoughts, such as whether seizing this world’s dominant power could solve the problem of constantly accruing errors.

Otherwise, he would eventually face a situation like the God of Omniscience.

"That’s the nature of a closed world system," the system said matter-of-factly, its tone suddenly shifting:

"However, I can help the host solve this troublesome problem."

"Like taking me to another world?" Xi Mu asked, causing the system to fall silent, swallowing the rest of its words.

Sometimes the host being too clever could make it lose a lot of its pride.

"So am I to study player power alone in the Ash World now?" Xi Mu calmly looked around the Ash World; he was unexpectedly a very patient person, or else he wouldn’t have been tirelessly researching how to speedrun a game.

"Isn’t it too tedious to study here?" the system whispered, "The player power you possess, if developed in the right environment, could be better evolved to omnipotence."

"Is there a way for me to return to the past without burning the world?" Xi Mu asked this, and then heard a positive reply from the system. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

It wasn’t a very difficult task.

This time, the system finally displayed the effects of the Golden Finger, unlike previously acting just as a gadget, but actually solving the host’s problem.

...

Through the darkness.

The figure of Xi Mu appeared, arriving beside the extraterritorial demon, and patted its shoulder:

"Don’t make me wait too long."

It agreed.

The extraterritorial demon’s hanging heart was set at ease, knowing that Ahtal wouldn’t advance towards the past, and even if they caused an unprecedented disruption in time, it wouldn’t mind.
