Apocalyptic Wasteland Simulator-Chapter 316 - 311: Demon God Natural Disaster

[Ding! This real-life simulation has concluded. The Host's power is extraordinary. You not only successfully passed the simulation but also gained immense rewards. All rewards will be fully unlocked after the simulation ends.]

Chen Pingchuan blinked, and he was back in the villa's backyard.

The experiences in the simulated instance felt like a dream. Indeed, it was just a dream. This was different from before, when the trait of Greed had taken over his body, forcing him to watch his own actions from a third-person perspective. This time, his emotions were simply amplified. All of his actions were exactly what he had desired.

In other words, no one had forced or beguiled him. He was simply doing what he wanted to do. One could even say it was in his very nature to act that way.

Was that really me? Or is that who I truly am? But I have to admit, that feeling was incredibly exhilarating.

Chen Pingchuan lay on the bed, his body completely relaxed. At this moment, an unprecedented sense of peace washed over his heart. Unlike before, when he felt he was always being hounded forward, he now began to enjoy this feeling of being unfettered, of doing whatever he pleased.

After savoring the rare tranquility for a moment, Chen Pingchuan turned his attention back to the simulation.

[You blink, and the world feels different. After the last shred of your humanity disappears, you undergo a massive transformation. Your appearance gradually becomes more demonic; you grow horns and demonic eyes.]

[After a quick check of your bearings, you continue to hunt your prey.]

[Sure enough, you sense your target's presence not far away. However, the actions of some pests irritate you. A team of several hundred Mechanical Warriors blocks your path.]

[You slaughter these ants to the last one.]

[Deafening alarms echo across the sky. Even from hundreds of kilometers away, you can hear a faint sound. You know this means the enemy is prepared, yet you feel no tension. On the contrary, you are thrilled, because this is exactly the outcome you wanted.]

[You transform into a streak of black light, rushing toward the Celestial Palace No.1 Mechanical Fortress. Along the way, more and more squads of Mechanical Men appear, their coordinated firepower ferocious.]

[However, you pay them no mind. After eliminating thousands of Mechanical Warriors, you arrive unopposed at the perimeter of the Celestial Palace No.1 Mechanical Fortress, where you face densely packed railguns and integrated batteries of attack cannons.]

[Even someone as conceited as you feels a chill run down their spine. You turn and leave without a fight, as you can sense your target is no longer there.]

Demonization! Just as I thought. But am I inherently a demon? Or is it because I devoured the Body of Utter Evil? Or is it because of that combat suit and weapon?

Chen Pingchuan was momentarily lost in confusion. He realized that the more he learned, the more there was that he didn't know. Now, he was even beginning to lose his own sense of self.

There are certainly downsides, but the benefits are also obvious. Turning evil makes you ten times stronger, while becoming good weakens you by a third. I can already show up outside Celestial Palace No.1 and make my presence known. And it looks like it was extremely successful. However, what will the simulated me become if I completely devour the Body of Utter Evil?

Holding onto this doubt, Chen Pingchuan continued to review the simulation.

[You cast one last deep look at the magnificent spectacle behind you, the beauty of metal having become a repulsive color in your eyes.]

[A dark sense of humor can sometimes have unexpected consequences, which is exactly what you are now experiencing. You may be fast, but you aren't faster than the speed of information.]

[The moment you turn to leave, the gates of Celestial Palace No.1 swing open. A vast legion of colossal metallic beasts emerges and immediately locks onto your position.]

[You feel the sensation of being targeted but pay it no mind. Although their numbers seem immense, stretching to the horizon, it wouldn't matter even if they had a hundred thousand seventh-level experts, because they can't find you.]

[You take one last deep look at the magnificent scene behind you before transforming into a streak of black light and vanishing from the outskirts of Celestial Palace No.1.]

[Over the next few days, you face the most perilous situation of your life. Because your image has been broadcast to every faction within the Celestial Palace's sphere of influence, you are met with ambushes wherever you go.]

[Although they can't stop you, they still slow down your pursuit.]

[Somehow, the dark version of Chen Pingchuan managed to survive your hunt for half a month.]

[In truth, the crisis was far from over. Your astonishing destructive power became known to all the factions within the Great Ming Empire. Many even formed an alliance, intending to destroy you, the World-Ending Demon God.]

Well, that's it. I'm completely toast.

Chen Pingchuan found it somewhat amusing. The version of himself in the simulation seemed to have lost his mind. No matter how powerful he was, could he really take on the entire world? He truly had no idea what that other self was thinking. Just by reading the simulator's text, Chen Pingchuan could sense how awkward his predicament was. Perhaps that unfamiliar version of himself was formidable.

But still too arrogant. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Just as Chen Pingchuan was feeling unimpressed by his simulated self's actions, his eyes shot wide open.

[While being ambushed, you notice the heavy atmosphere. You capture a high-level expert, interrogate him, and learn that there is a bounty on your head.]

[You feel no fear or any such emotion. Instead, your heart fills with rage. Mere mortals dared to offend a Divine Spirit. You decide to teach these people a lesson.]

[You randomly find a large, populated human city, Daxing City. You use the Shadow Crystal in your dimensional space to create shadow beings, which you name the Shadow Guards.]

[You kill all who resist within the city and have the Shadow Guards occupy their bodies. Then, using the life energy from the Divine Tree, you shatter their power barriers, suddenly granting you several dozen high-level experts.]

[A week later, you conquer a second city and plunder all its resources. Heedless of the cost, you create a massive number of Shadow Crystals and once again use them to spawn many high-level expert puppets.]

[Two weeks later, you have conquered the fifth city. Your forces now number close to a thousand. Of the adventurers who came to hunt down the Demon God, some were turned into your puppets. Others, whom you found displeasing to the eye, had their heads impaled on spears and hung from the city walls.]

[You are quite satisfied with your artistic flair, but you are unaware of the massive impact your actions are having on the world.]
