The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 411 - 384: Lin Guang’s Fate?

What is the "Otherworld Disaster"?

Literally understood, it can be interpreted as... a disaster coming from the Otherworld.

These types of disasters are mostly contagious in nature, capable of self-replication and spreading like memes.

Some are life forms like viruses, some are unique power systems, and others are uncontrolled creations of civilization.

However, Blue Star, this peculiar place, will transform all external life and power systems.

So, can their harmfulness still be sustained?

The answer is... most will lose their effect as if the underlying code is incompatible, but some can still persist.

Only those still posing a threat are named "Otherworld Disasters".

Documented Otherworld Disasters in Blue Star’s history are not uncommon; many came to this world alongside Spirit Beasts and Magical Beasts.

Although most lost the possibility of normal spreading, they could still potentially propagate through Spirit Masters who have contracted these Spirit Beasts.

Yet this still doesn’t explain what "Otherworld Disaster" is, why it remains in this world, and why it retains some contagiousness.

The answer is simple.

In the original world, having higher technological prowess or destructive power is not key to retaining its contagiousness.

There is only one determining mechanism.

A disaster retaining its own "Will" will pass Blue Star’s transformation judgment and remain effective.

And the source of the "Ore Disease", the so-called Source Stone...

Is precisely such a thing.

It’s alive.

.........

"Source Stone is a creation, also a plan."

"Its essence is to seal all traces of life, converting them into silent information and energy, stored for future hopes."

After explaining the definition of Otherworld Disaster, Kaiwen softly continued: "The Source Stone illness on each Terra Continent is essentially a consequence of this creation’s plan going awry."

Her eyelids lowered, her emerald eyes gazed at the Sakaz girl before her, as if recalling certain past events.

Leading to the moment she came to this world...

Death and rebirth.

Vishdair was slightly stunned, even Chelina and Lisa seemed dazed.

——The suffering and natural disasters on that land were essentially just... a mistake?

——And each Terra Continent?

But she quickly discarded these meaningless thoughts—she had already run away, uninterested in the situation on Terra Continent; the current scenario outweighed anything on that damned land, frowning:

"And what does that have to do with him?"

"In this world, over one-third of humans can awaken Talents, and in Great Xia, it’s over seventy percent."

"Even those who can’t awaken actually possess Talents, just too weak to manifest."

"The truth of Talent is actually simple."

Kaiwen slightly lifted her head, looking towards Lin Guang behind the glass curtain wall.

"The final, indelible fragments and essence left behind by a civilization and world after its destruction."

The three girls’ eyes widened: "...!!!"

"This is the essence of the Spirit Masters in this world."

Kaiwen said softly, "They are reincarnations of the final essence and remnants of various worlds and civilizations, obtaining new life on this planet, thus possessing various traits."

"They and I... and you, are all outsiders."

"Lin Guang, the ’Heart of Terra.’

"Perhaps it’s the end of a Terra World, or perhaps it’s the combination of many."

She looked at Lin Guang with extremely complex and worried eyes, filled with deep concern.

"Lin Guang, is essentially the continuation of those destroyed Terra civilizations."

"Your mutual attraction is because you are inherently supposed to be inseparable."

Vishdair couldn’t care less about these convoluted things, urgently said: "So what? Lin Guang is Lin Guang! According to you, he’s been like this since birth. What does it have to do with now, with Ore Disease, with Source Stone?!"

Under the three’s gaze, Kaiwen slowly spoke, "To Great Xia, indeed there aren’t many ’diseases’ that can’t be cured."

The three heard something from her tone, and their expressions immediately tensed.

"But, he isn’t sick, not even in a negative status."

They were slightly taken aback.

"Source Stone is everything of Terra World, an energy source, and perhaps the root of destruction."

"The relationship between Lin Guang and Source Stone is much closer than you imagine."

Kaiwen revealed the truth, "Therefore, contracting Ore Disease for him... is just reclaiming what was rightfully his, walking on the path of ’completion.’"

"His instinct does not repel Source Stone and its Will; even Ore Disease for him... is a form of repair."

"His Talent and soul are incomplete, naturally instinctively wanting to complete himself, but this completion’s endpoint might not be acceptable by normal standards."

"Impossible, Lin Guang has always been normal! How could he deliberately seek death—"

"Is he really normal?"

Kaiwen said softly.

"It’s just that he can easily empathize with you, and others, so he appears relatively normal."

"Haven’t you noticed, his emotions towards himself, and most of his self-awareness, are actually very faint?"

"Once he leaves others, he barely fears fatigue, pain, death... only experiences positive feedback when observing new things and gaining insights."

"Like treating himself as a character in a so-called game."

"..." *3

"The accident at five damaged his soul, and a large part of his Talent was missing."

"This damage couldn’t possibly have amnesia as the only side effect."

"Now it seems, his humanity, his mind, are incomplete."

"This led to his very thin self-awareness; he doesn’t care for material enjoyment, physical pleasure, laziness, or pain, so he isn’t afraid of death."

"In some sense, it might be a good thing, as demonstrated in the Celestial Ladder Mountain trial this time, making his Will extremely firm and pure, even coagulating a bit of ’Intention,’ successfully creating a miracle."

"But..."

"When a person isn’t afraid of death, it’s easy for them to lose the will to live."

Vishdair’s eyes were noticeably red: "Then why have you never said it! Never warned us!"

"..."

Kaiwen took several deep breaths, seemingly forcibly suppressing the turmoil of her emotions, yet a fatigue and uncontrollable sadness emanated.

"My initial plan was to endeavor endlessly to delay his condition as much as possible, preventing progression."

"Perhaps wait until he naturally reaches the Five-Star Peak, condensing True Intent to break through to Six-Star."

"Thus, achieving True Man, it would become possible to overcome his instincts, and the Will within Source Stone."

Her voice was very light, "He would heal normally... normally, without burdens, and live the life he wanted gloriously and happily."

"That’s what I originally thought."

And at this moment.

The silent Chelina finally realized something, incredulously lifted her head.

There was a deep emotion for Lin Guang she had never revealed to them, hidden in Kaiwen’s heart...

She... really just wanted Lin Guang to live well for the rest of his life.

Nothing more.

Amidst the deathly silence, Kaiwen calmly adjusted her mood and continued, "In the past few hours, I conducted countless calculations, countless simulations."

"I can envision three scenarios."

The girls’ spirits suddenly heightened.

"The first, he won’t explode to pieces like other patients when Ore Disease reaches its extreme, but will gradually become non-human."

"In the end, transforming in eternal slumber into a special Source Stone that can record everything and self-increment, immersed in an eternal dream."

"In other words... turning into a ’Divine Object’."
