Chapter 1131: Chapter 182: Oppenheimer Device

——The Oppenheimer Device.

Upon hearing this name.

Annan finally understood what Earthly figure the Tower Master corresponded to...

After all, there were simply too many named "Julius." But when Oppenheimer is added, only one individual comes to mind.

That is, Julius Robert Oppenheimer, known as the "father of the atomic bomb."

...This indeed fits very well with the concept of "Deterrence Theory" of the Magma Forbidden Tower.

In that case, as the "ultimate supervisor."

It is impossible for "Julius" to be a person from Ingrid’s faction.

Annan even roughly guessed what kind of power the Magma Forbidden Tower possessed.

If Annan’s guess were correct, it indeed was a power that "only those desireless should control." A force of destruction that "Julius" would chain up through the mechanization of his own soul.

With that in mind...

Annan suddenly recalled the words "Julius" had mentioned.

[We hold in our hands a power that shares the same origin as the authority you, Your Majesty Annan, wield... This is also why Yawen has settled here.]

What authority does Annan hold in his hands?

If this is not some metaphor, but the actual "authority held in hands," what he refers to... must be the Third of the Sirens.

The Third Siren’s intelligence, let alone for a foreign Tower Master—even very few Winter people are aware of it. But if "Julius" possesses a power that could be termed as the "Fourth Siren," then it all starts to make sense.

——The three-headed creatures with wings sealed within the[Third Siren]are representative of three potential world-ending threats.

Adding the power inherited by the Magma Forbidden Tower, there should be four.

The "Chaste Sound" which transforms every living creature on the planet into undead, twisted beings—endlessly mutating life forms and a deathly planet filled with malicious spirits, ghosts, and indescribable monsters;

The "Cleansing Tone" that erases memory, emotions, morality, laws, nations, society, civilization... resetting all sentient life on this world back to mere beasts, and replaying the advent of civilization—also the Siren who escaped Annan’s seal and has yet to return;

And the "White Lady" capable of sinking continents, summoning meteors, or creating great floods... making various natural disasters of imagination into reality, and physically destroying the whole world.

If the powers of the three Sirens are combined, they can initiate the World-ending Protocol, completely resetting the current world. Tracing the planet back to a state before the emergence of "biological civilization."

These three Sirens are means of supervising the authority of "Yawen," "The Red Knight," and "The Goddess of Cup"—should these True Gods lose control, the power of the Sirens can be used to sanction them.

Yawen’s essence is "Differentiation," the actual creator of this world and can create the true monsters of world-ending at any moment, leveling the world he created himself; The Red Knight is a god from Anotherworld... Although never used, she possesses the power to rob the peace of the surface and incite mutual slaughter among people; The Goddess of Cup is the ancestor of all humanity, and even all fleshly life, capable of using the call of blood to awaken everyone’s primal desires, controlling all of them.

——This is also why "Julius" has attained complete rationality.

Although from a scientific standpoint, this is because his current "host" body is unable to secrete hormones that influence the brain... But this world is one with souls.

If viewed from the perspective of mystical knowledge, it should be because "Julius" has completely lost "flesh," thus severing the connection with the source of all desires, "The Goddess of Cup."

——In other words, he has gone offline.

If they lose control and go mad, probably even other True Gods can’t stop them. But the Sirens can.

However, the power of the "World-ending Protocol" does not originate from the Sirens themselves.

...So, for whom is the standalone [World-ending Protocol]prepared?

The answer was becoming quite evident.

—It was The Worm.

This must have been a joint resolution by Yawen, perhaps the old grandmother, and possibly even the coalition of the Twelve True Gods. Because "Seraph of Three" could only have been a Great Calamity Curio created by a True God... If there were no surprises, it should have been forged by the Twisted Father.

As for the materials, they were likely Yawen’s three sisters.

Annand once thought that the Seraph was a demon lord who would destroy the world, and that the "Great Calamity Curio: Seraph of Three" was a prison that confined them and extracted their power.

But when he released Chaste Sound before, he found that Chaste Sound was completely rational and capable of communication. Apart from lacking the Book of Truth, they were not much different from the divine beings.

...Looking at it now, this should be a form of "deterrence theory."

In other words, if The Worm truly entered this world in its authentic form.

They would need to activate the Seraph of Three and use it to reset the entire world.

The Worm itself also had the mark of this world. When the "Seraph of Three" reset the world, it would be reset along with it.

It was owing to this "deterrence" that they could keep such a troublesome enemy from descending upon the world in its complete form.

Rather than saying that the spirit passed down through generations at the Magma Forbidden Tower coincided with this Great Calamity Curio... It’s better to say that what they inherited was the deterrence theory born from the creative concept behind the "Seraph of Three"!

In other words—

Before the Duke of Winter took control of the Seraph of Three, even before the Elven Emperor controlled the "Seraph of Three," the Magma Forbidden Tower was likely the manager of this "deterrence theory weapon"!

Just like the "Fourth Seraph" that they wielded.

Only later did this transcendent power come under the possession of the Elven Emperor, and ultimately fall into the hands of the Duke of Winter.

"...I understand."

Annand nodded slightly: "And I acknowledge and respect your decision."

Destruction Wizards have always been characterized by their will to achieve their goals at the cost of their own sacrifice.

To evoke more scorching light, they would sacrifice their eyes; to summon the most searing flames, they’d sacrifice their own skin. They could even sacrifice their spine, their hearts, their brains... to the point of sacrificing themselves to cause a huge explosion.

They never coveted eternal life.

Therefore, the steep cost required by the use of Twisted Spells was not insufferable for them.

For "Julius," it was simply a slightly greater price to pay.

"It’s not about any decision."

"Julius" spoke with a gentle voice: "It’s just duty.

"The mere existence of the Magma Forbidden Tower possesses a deterrence force. But its greatest power lies in its force before it truly activates.

"Once its power becomes known to the world, it’s no longer a deterrence... it becomes fear, a calamity, an instability factor, and their enemy."

"...So."

Annand asked a crucial question: "What exactly is the Magma Forbidden Tower deterring?"

"—It’s the living desert."

"Julius" gave Annand an answer he had never considered before.
