Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"What do you mean?"

Kujima frowned, "Dark God?"

Nori took a deep breath, calming himself, yet his eyes still carried a hint of anxiety: "Yes, the dark Evil God, the pattern on it resembles a seashell, but just by looking at its image, you can feel a chill, as if your soul is frozen in the Antarctic."

"This is too exaggerated, just open it and see." Xin Cheng was skeptical and told Nori to turn on the computer.

"No, you can't open it. If you look at that image for too long, it might consume your soul." Nori said excitedly, "Although I don't believe it, the events we've experienced that involve 'souls,' I can explain them as memory confusion caused by electromagnetic interference, but now... I dare not bet."

Seeing Nori so sure, the others became even more curious.

Sun Wukong walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Open it, you were just too tense just now."

"Alright." For some reason, Nori suddenly felt unafraid, calmed down, opened the computer, and revealed the image of the large seashell.

When the others saw it, they indeed felt something eerie at first glance, but not to the extent of Nori's anxiety.

Nori was somewhat confused, not understanding if he was too cowardly or if the image only had that effect on the first viewer, or perhaps the fear decreases when more people see it?

Little did he know, because a divine presence was standing in the conference room.

The others only felt that the pattern and its description on the screen were somewhat gloomy, nothing more.

"Nori, there's nothing special about it, you're just too cowardly, watch more horror movies in the future to build some courage." Xin Cheng mocked.

"That's not it, this is different from earlier, there must be some issue in this." Nori retorted, but his muttering was soft and eventually became silent.

But Da Gu completely recalled what this thing was.

"Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler."

"Hmm? Da Gu, what are you saying?" Standing beside Da Gu, Lina heard Da Gu's murmuring, her brow slightly furrowing, "What is Gatanothor?"

"Nothing... it's just my subconscious reaction, like I've seen this somewhere." Seeing others also turning their gaze upon him, Da Gu instinctively tried to find an excuse but ultimately decided to speak out.

This terrifying creature, the darkness could swallow everything, fear it's not much weaker compared to the Sofia's mother.

Therefore, it's wise to have everyone prepared.

"You've read this 'Tai Ping Encyclopedia' too?" Nori asked in surprise.

"When I was a kid, my grandpa seemed to have told me some." Da Gu lied, describing the memories he recalled, "This is the ruler of darkness, the Evil God named Gatanothor, possessing darkness that can consume everything, plunging the world into despair."

"Could this be one of the main reasons for the aliens on Earth preparing to flee?" Lina folded her arms, somewhat worried.

"Da Gu, where does your grandpa live?" Xin Cheng asked.

"He's passed away."

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay."

Da Gu shook his head and said to Kujima Megumi, "Captain, this terrifying creature, I feel it definitely exists, and it might even awaken soon, we must be ready to deal with it."

Kujima Megumi nodded heavily.

If it were only recorded in the "Tai Ping Encyclopedia," she wouldn't believe it, but with Da Gu so certain, then the dark Evil God Gatanothor must exist.

Because Da Gu is Tiga!

What he says must be true!

Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler, if it awakens, perhaps no one in the world would be its match, the prehistoric civilization from 30 million years ago with technology far advanced than today couldn't escape its destruction, let alone modern humans?

Therefore, Kujima Megumi felt the key method should be from that time capsule or perhaps from her own body, or from that mysterious woman Yulian's body, to find a way to keep Gatanothor asleep.

Even though she doesn't know why, Megumi's inner voice keeps telling her: Tiga is far from being Gatanothor's match!

Earth has Gatanothor, the universe has Sofia, do humans really have a future?

Kujima Megumi fell into deep thought...

···

In the evening, after the Victory Team's elite finished dinner, some went to training, some patrolled, some were on duty, some rested, each with their own arrangements.

Kujima Megumi entered her single captain's dormitory room and saw a woman in white quietly appear.

She wasn't surprised but rather breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "You've appeared again."

"I just didn't expect that Camilla would be moved by Tiga, a 30 million-year-old grudge, born in Tiga's hands, ended in Da Gu's hands." Yulian's voice was ethereal, with a unique echo, but only Megumi could hear it.

"What exactly is the relationship between Tiga and Da Gu?" Megumi wanted clarification.

"Why do you have such doubts?" Yulian's tone remained indifferent, as if unconcerned with anything, as though this was just a cycle and there would be another.

"Da Gu and Tiga appeared at the same time, when Tiga was still a statue..." Megumi said solemnly, "Da Gu is just the energy that allows Tiga's body to act, correct?"

"Yes and no." Yulian provided an ambiguous answer.

"Don't play word games, speak more clearly." Megumi was somewhat impatient, "I know, you can understand."

"Tiga's body cannot be driven by just any light, only light that matches it can truly unleash its power, like humans needing a soul to think."

Yulian said softly, "Da Gu is the soul of Tiga because he is light."

"He is human." Megumi insisted, "He shouldn't bear such great responsibility." Find this chapter's source on MV-LEM-PYR.

"I haven't denied him being human, and precisely because he is human, he has the chance to make different choices from his self 30 million years ago." Yulian's eyes were bright like stars, "To decide whether to confront an undefeatable enemy."

"Did Tiga flee 30 million years ago?" Megumi asked, incredulously.

"No, it was just that humans 30 million years ago chose to abandon Tiga, during the blooming of Chijira, not a single person chose to stand by Tiga's side, even those who could remain sober could only watch." Yulian's calm voice revealed a hint of sorrow, "Clearly Tiga back then abandoned darkness for light."

"But we've now abandoned Chijira!" Megumi's eyes shone brightly.

"I think that's one of the reasons Tiga chose to abandon his body 30 million years ago and become human." Yulian smiled.

"But you once said the giants abandoned their bodies and returned to their homeland."

"But not Tiga." Yulian said gently, "Besides, at the moment he chose light, it was destined that no matter where his old home was, the new home would be Earth."
