“You are not the ‘chosen one,’ and using the power of the red ball will only bring more disastrous consequences.”
Lu Xuan wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that when the little girl in red said those words, she seemed to be deliberately separating herself from his dream.
Recalling the time in the "Rainbow Wonderland," only Daigo was able to hear the voice of the little girl in red at first.
Lu Xuan immediately realized that he was indeed not the one chosen by the red ball.
Unlike Daigo and I, I forcibly entered this spacetime using a "spacetime interference device".
In a sense, I was an unexpected factor, an unexpected factor that was not under the control of the red ball.
"No problem, give the red ball back to her!"
Lu Xuan lowered his head to signal the mechanical hound to return the red ball to the little girl in red, and he was somewhat eager to know the truth.
"If you are all ready..."
The little girl in red knelt down and took the red ball from the mechanical hound's mouth.
When she looked up again, the red ball in her hand was emitting an eerie glow.
"This is the truth of everything..."
A strange sadness appeared on her face, and the red ball in the little girl's hand began to replay various images.
Before Lu Xuan and Meng could even react, they were pulled into those images by the power of the red ball, into that memory that belonged only to the little girl in red.

Chapter 466 The Timeline with Only the Original and Zoffy
The creation of the red ball was both an accident and an inevitable destiny.
Beyond the worlds of Ultraman Tiga, Gaia, and the current parallel universe, there are countless other universes in the multiverse whose development processes and trajectories are remarkably similar.
Among them was a universe that Lu Xuan found both very familiar and extremely unfamiliar.
On Earth in this universe, there once existed Ultraman named the First Generation and Zoffy.
The former once helped humanity defeat countless monsters and was regarded as humanity's protector.
The latter, after the first generation's defeat and death, took Him with him and left Earth.
However, unlike the "Showa series Ultraman" that Lu Xuan was familiar with, this universe does not have a Land of Light.
After Zoffy took Ultraman away from Earth, no Ultraman has ever come to Earth again.
It can be said that the divergence between this universe and the "Showa series Ultraman" that Lu Xuan knew existed as early as after the first Ultraman left Earth.
However, Ultraman's departure does not mean the end of the disaster.
The increasingly rampant monster disasters and cosmic catastrophes have become a predicament that humanity on Earth must face.
In order to combat the almost endless monster calamities, humanity must possess the power to protect itself.
As a result, all sorts of outrageous black technology projects, which even Lu Xuan found absurd, came to the fore, leading the development of human society down a path that was completely incomprehensible to everyone.
The "Worldline Interference Prototype" was the final machine born under these circumstances.
Its prototype is not a human creation, but a meteorite from outer space.
That meteorite possessed the ability to grant any wish, and at one point caused a huge uproar in human society.
As the wish was fulfilled, the meteorite also silently amplified the dark side of humanity's heart, eventually even summoning a giant monster that did not originally exist.
It was a powerful monster that even the original gamer struggled against, and it could continuously absorb negative emotions from people's hearts to continue growing.
If the person holding the meteorite hadn't regained their rationality at the most critical moment, this meteorite capable of granting wishes would likely have brought even greater disaster.
Even so, that meteorite left an extremely deep impression on humanity.
Therefore, after the first generation left Earth, researching and replicating the power of that meteorite naturally became an inevitable task.
To be honest, although humanity has overestimated the meteorite's capabilities as much as possible, the research to replicate it has proven to be far more difficult than they imagined.
Even having witnessed the power of meteorites, even having a complete template...
The humans of that time and space also spent a tremendous amount of effort and time to perfectly demonstrate the meteorite's capabilities.
Because of its mechanism that could grant any wish, this "worldline interference prototype" was jokingly referred to by humans at the time as the "omnipotent wish-granting machine".
The "Worldline Interference Prototype" was not originally a red sphere, but a deep blue sphere.
As the ultimate machine created by humans from another dimension, the "Worldline Interference Prototype" possesses the highest authority of material civilization and can even directly interfere with changes in spacetime dimensions.
Beyond the most basic energy conversion and matter recombination.
The most powerful capability of the "Worldline Interference Prototype" is that it can forcibly interfere with different worldlines, whether known or unknown.
According to the parallel universe theory, the past, present, and future are not a fixed straight line, but rather have countless possible parallel lines and intersecting lines.
The choice you make today—whether you step out the door with your left foot or your right foot—could create a completely new future.
But not all futures are as expected, or as expected by humankind.
Life is full of regrets, and this applies to human society as well.
A different choice can create a different future.
Among countless choices, there is always one future that best serves the interests of human society.
As long as this future option truly exists, the "Worldline Interference Prototype" can pull this future into reality and then reset the timelines of the present and the past.
......................................................................................................
"Outrageous..."
"madman……"
When Lu Xuan and Meng observed this image through the red ball, they both cursed in unison.
Before this, Lu Xuan thought that his attempt to influence the future decades from now by changing the present was already outrageous enough.
But the human from that alternate dimension wanted to forcibly influence the present and past by changing the future, directing all choices in the direction most advantageous to himself.
This practice is beyond outrageous.
To use a very simple analogy, because I want to eat candy tomorrow, I can find enough money to buy candy today or yesterday.
But the "Worldline Interference Prototype" can do even more amazing things than that.
Because it affects not just a single individual, or even just one or two races, but the causality of the entire spacetime.
I believe that the human race must emerge on Earth, so through a series of coincidences, the solar system will eventually create an environment that allows humans to be born.
—I now need a special material that is almost impossible to exist in the real world, so the universe would modify the parameters of the singularity explosion at the beginning of its birth because of this need.
Many similar examples could be cited, but without exception they all illustrate how outrageous the "worldline interference prototype" is.
Reversing cause and effect, distorting reality...
This is an ability that is extremely rare even in myths and legends, yet it was ultimately realized by humans in another time and space.
In comparison, creating something out of thin air, or pulling people from another parallel universe, is simply the most insignificant function of the "Worldline Interference Prototype".
As long as the holder wants it, even if such a parallel universe did not originally exist, such a parallel universe will inevitably appear when the holder has this thought.
So, was my original timeline a world that already existed, or a world that was born because of the red ball's wish?
When such a thought flashed through my mind, he once again fell into the paradoxical thought of "Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly".
At this moment, the only thing Lu Xuan and Meng could be certain of was that humanity in another timeline would inevitably go mad and even perish because of the existence of the "worldline interference prototype".
When the authority of the Creator is held by humankind, not everyone can simply put it aside.
The future and images that the red ball then showed proved this to the two of them.

Chapter 467 The Last Messiah
Endless desires, endless cravings...
After creating the "worldline interference prototype", non-natural disasters that were originally difficult for humans to deal with have become a minor matter.
In the eyes of other civilizations and races in that time and space, humanity was the greatest unnatural disaster in the universe.
Driven by their own desires, humanity has recklessly altered the material parameters, energy rules, and spacetime causality of that universe, all in an effort to make everything develop in a direction most beneficial to humankind.
The result is predictable: human greed ultimately brings only destruction.
Not only did humanity perish due to the frequent interference of the "worldline interference prototype," but even that parallel universe became a state of "never having existed" due to the reversal of spacetime causality.
No one knows, no one investigates, and no one remembers...
The only thing that can prove that parallel universe existed is the "worldline interference prototype" that turned red due to endless desire.
The azure sphere turned into a scarlet sphere.
This is the original sin of the "worldline interference prototype," and also the opportunity for the birth of the little girl in red.
After the space-time that gave birth to it disappeared, the red sphere traveled through space-time, searching for parallel worlds where humanity exists, and then followed the most primal program given to it by its creator to fulfill its desires.
One spacetime was destroyed, two spacetimes were destroyed, three spacetimes were destroyed...
When the little girl in red regained consciousness, no one knew how many parallel universes the red sphere had traversed or how many human worlds it had destroyed.
The only certainty is that the red ball's abilities are getting stronger and stronger, and the spacetime it can affect is also increasing.
The only thing the little girl in red can do is to help the red ball select "qualified" users as much as possible, reducing the possibility of destruction in those parallel universes.
Unfortunately, the little girl in red's actions were only better than nothing.
Regardless of whether the users chosen by the little girl in red were initially kind and benevolent, they would eventually be seduced by the red ball and make a wish to destroy the world.
At this time, the red ball travels through time and space again to search for new humans.
......................................................................................................
"So, you are actually the will of the red ball?"
Having witnessed the destruction of countless parallel universes, my voice became somewhat low and somber.
He simply couldn't believe that the little girl in red in front of him was the murderer who had destroyed countless parallel universes.
"To be precise, it should be the 'restraint mechanism' of the red ball."
Unlike my dream, Lu Xuan proposed another concept.
"In the time and space where the red ball was first created, there should have been humans who were already aware of the danger of this thing."
"Unfortunately, they ultimately could not prevent the destruction of their world, so they could only add a 'restraint mechanism' to the red ball."
As he said this, Lu Xuan's eyes never left the little girl in red.
In the apocalypse of blood and fire, the little girl in red has eyes that are both cold and compassionate, a perfect combination of divinity and humanity.
"You are the 'Messiah,' and humanity's last stand against the red ball!"
There was no rebuttal, nor a reply...
The little girl in red simply clasped her hands together silently, the sorrow in her eyes almost palpable.
"The last savior of mankind, the one who bears all sins..."
I naturally know what the word "Messiah" means; it is a term in Christianity that specifically refers to the last saint.
However, looking at the little girl in red in front of me, I could only feel sadness from her.
Possessing a complete self and personality, with a heart full of kindness and compassion...
Yet, this very being has witnessed the demise of humanity and the destruction of parallel universes time and again, and is even the culprit itself.
Such sorrow and despair are absolutely unbearable for ordinary people.
Thinking about it this way, the indifference the little girl in red had shown earlier can be explained.
Countless times they selected suitable wishers with high hopes, only to be met with ultimate destruction time and time again.
I asked myself, if I were the little girl in red, I would only become more negative and cold-hearted than her.
However, this realization did not undermine Meng's confidence; on the contrary, it strengthened his resolve to help the little girl in red.
"I will definitely help you end this nightmare!"
