Human civilization was a mistake. The path of our growth was incorrect.

"Has it finally co?"
The Saintess set the black tea cup in her hand down on the table as if she were facing a great enemy.
During this period, the Saintess had also followed the players through who knew how many runs of Extre Abyss. She could already sense the upper and lower limits of the player group's combat strength.
It was no exaggeration to say that the players ranked in the top ten of Extre Abyss were all top-tier powerhouses who would be feared even in the Holy Nation.
And the one publicly acknowledged as the strongest in Oath was soone both the Saintess and the Empire wanted to win over at all costs.
"Griff, Freya, proceed according to our previous arrangents. We absolutely cannot neglect Lord Kyo! Everyone, use your main consciousness! We must make Lord Kyo fall for after he finishes this main story!"
The Saintess imdiately began gathering the Holy Nation, as well as those gacha pool characters who had already submitted to her side.
Every single one of them used their main consciousness. Their goal was to give Kyo the most perfect story experience.
Then... Carl discovered that Kyo had not placed him in the party!
During this period, he really had been playing Monster Battles the entire ti and had not cared about the outside world at all.
Fortunately, as the final boss of the story, Carl could still watch the whole process from outside Saint Rite in the posture of the mastermind behind the scenes.
In the end, Carl could tell that this Saintess actually carried a bit of a sneaky girl attribute, aning the kind of underhanded woman who would jump the gun in romantic competition.
In Oath Version 1.1's story, the biggest landmine at the start was the player fainting after Noir glared at them once. This did not change when Kyo pushed the story.
But after Kyo woke up, the Saintess provided Kyo with a lap pillow service that other players, or rather, most players did not get.
"Lord Savior, are you... all right?" the Saintess asked Kyo with concern.
Unfortunately, Kyo was a player who had long since seen through and grown tired of every kind of routine.
His first reaction after sitting up was not, "The Saintess gave a lap pillow bonus..."
Instead, it was, "You, a gacha character, don't know how to keep the service equal for all players. You're very likely to get flad!"
"You... are referring to the other townspeople? I use different ways to care for the injured, but you alone are special, Lord Savior."
While the Saintess played dumb, she frantically recalled the plot Kuro the writer had written in the first version.
Because gacha pool characters could not use their main consciousness to take care of the experience of tens of millions of players, once the second version of the story was finalized, the Saintess had no way to change it on a large scale.
But on a small scale, letting... so players experience the first-version plot was still no problem.
Although once these little moves of the Saintess were exposed by observant players, it would cause a major rhythm like Kyo said, about uneven service, aning every player's experience was different.
The official team of Oath had also explicitly forbidden these gacha pool characters from modifying the main story on a large scale. Adding a few small, self-designed touches in a limited range was the end of it.
But in order to make Kyo swear loyalty to her, the Saintess could no longer care that much.
"Let's go. There are still quite a few missions to do afterward, aren't there?" Kyo was too lazy to fuss over these things and continued pushing the main story.
But in the following story performances, whether it was the Saintess or the people of the Holy Nation, they really were... doing their utmost to recreate the masterpiece, aning the first version of the story written by Kuro.
Unfortunately, Noir was not that cooperative. Perhaps this character was relying on the writer's favoritism, because he still kept causing all kinds of trouble in the story.
But none of that was a big deal.
The Saintess could sense that... Kyo was watching the entire main story process with great interest the whole ti.
At least he was not like so players who used a special ti-skipping ability, aning a mouse macro auto-clicker, to click through the dialogue at lightspeed.
At the very least, Kyo patiently watched every line of dialogue and every performance from the Saintess and the people of the Holy Nation. During this period, he even occasionally gave so of his own thoughts.
It worked!
After the Saintess watched Kyo seriously push through all the content in the first stage of the main story from beginning to end.
She was certain that he had definitely been conquered by her charm and moved by the bonds with the people of the Holy Nation.
When the first stage of the main quest ended and Kyo led the people of the Holy Nation to the entrance of the ruins, the Saintess's mood grew tense.
Because quite a few players from Navigator had pushed the main story to the entrance of the ruins and then stopped continuing into the second stage.
But during these seven days, Kyo had really been in a disconnected state aside from playing auto-battler.
Carl also had not disturbed him, causing him to have no idea that the side quest existed.
So Kyo smoothly entered the second stage final battle main story directly!
Win! When the Saintess saw Kyo step into the second stage main story without hesitation, she shouted excitedly in her heart.
As long as they killed that final boss nad Carl, she would be able to lead a large number of powerful Saviors back to the Holy Nation!
After Kyo entered the final decisive battle main story, there first ca an extrely hype CG where all the current version's gacha pool characters gathered.
As the final boss, Carl burned down the entire Saint Rite and appeared in the form of a half-mutated body.
"Why is it you again?" Kyo asked when he saw that the final boss was Carl.
After all, the Calamity mutation fought in the last version was also nominally Carl.
"Who knows... After all, I'm just an ordinary three-star character. I don't have any decision-making power." After Carl said this, he glanced at the people of the Holy Nation standing beside Kyo.
Kyo imdiately understood after hearing this... Then his gaze swept over the Saintess and the others, before finally asking a line that made everyone around him, including the Saintess, feel terrified.
"So Carl, what... should I do next?"
"Lo... Lord Savior... he... he is a mutated body infected by the Calamity Virus!" the Saintess quietly reminded Kyo. The other party was the final boss! Why were you asking him questions?
However, Kyo only looked at Carl with an extrely expectant gaze, as if asking Carl.
"What should I do next? Who should I kill next? Do you have any mission for ?"
Kyo's eyes seed to be asking Carl... what kind of interesting fun would you bring next?
"Lord Savior! You must not be bewitched by him." When the Saintess saw that Carl seed about to say sothing, she hurriedly tried to dissuade him from the side.
But Carl rely smiled and gave Kyo an extrely simple answer.
"Just make the choice you find interesting. After all, the duty of us ga characters has always been to bring happiness to you players, hasn't it?"
"The choice I find interesting... huh?"
After Kyo learned that the final boss was Carl, he turned around, looked at the Saintess, then at the gacha pool characters from the Holy Nation and Empire who had gathered to participate in the decisive battle, and asked.
"Everyone, can you spare his life?"
"This... Lord Savior! I know he was once your friend, but now, he has been corroded by the Calamity Virus and is no longer that person!" Griff spoke the persuasion lines he had prepared long ago.
"The Calamity Virus will only bring endless pain to those it corrodes, and ending his pain is our duty," Miss Freya from the Holy Nation also encouraged from the side.
"Lord Savior! You still have so many companions by your side supporting you! This is the final decisive battle! Defeat that sorrowful mutated body and walk toward a better tomorrow together with us!"
The Saintess also repeated the inspiring lines that should appear in the final decisive battle, lines she had already morized by heart.
"Is that so? I... understand," Kyo said after a mont of silence.
"There is no need to be sad, Lord Savior! No matter what happens... I, Saintess Lilesta, will forever stay by your side! Always support..."
However, just as the Saintess thought Kyo had finally made up his mind to strike down the final boss, and as she began her heartfelt confession to Kyo, preparing to promise him the next lifeti.
Kyo slowly drew the sword in his hand, and then...
A shrill sound of blade piercing flesh rang out!
"Lo... Lord Savior?" The Saintess ca back to her senses and looked down, only to discover that the target Kyo had drawn his sword and stabbed was not the final boss behind her, but... her!
The instant Kyo drew his sword, he had pierced through her chest almost without the slightest hesitation! The blade entered flesh! Blood flew everywhere!
Kyo even felt that was not enough... He twisted the rapier stabbed into the Saintess's chest, grinding and warping the flesh, causing blood to spray out!
"Why...?"
The Saintess felt the pain coming from her chest. This was the first ti she had suffered such a serious injury since coming to this world, and the one who had caused this injury was the Savior she trusted the most!
"Because I've already heard you people say too many tis... who is right and who is wrong. It's always you who decide what can be done, what cannot be done, who can be killed, and who cannot be killed."
"And this ti, whether it is good or evil, I will decide for myself."
After Kyo finished speaking, he directly pulled the long sword out of the Saintess's chest. Blood gushed from the wound in the Saintess's chest, staining Kyo's cheek.
After Kyo wiped away the blood on his cheek with his hand, his gaze swept across every gacha pool character present. With his other hand, which was already stained with the Saintess's blood, he issued an invitation to all the gacha pool characters present.
"Just as you all said earlier, co, everyone. The final battle has begun! Prove to ... that you are the side of justice!"
And at that very mont, the final decisive battle BGM rang out!
But it was not the final boss's BGM. It was Oath's the song, the BGM that represented the player!
At that instant, all the gacha pool characters present seed to understand sothing extrely terrifying!
That was... what did it an when, at the end of the ga version, all the gacha pool characters gathered for the final battle, ready to shout slogans like friendship, bonds, fate, future, tomorrow, and so on as they charged forward, only to discover that the final boss they had to fight was... the player?
(To be continued.)
