Simulate everything, and even display its traits...?
Caelan froze slightly, then a strange expression appeared on his face.
If it was turning into an animal, sure—that was acceptable.
But if he turned into, say, a chair... it just felt weird.
Especially if soone sat on him...
Ahem.
Caelan shook his head hard, tossing those ssy thoughts out of his mind.
Still... if he changed his perspective, [Universal Simulation] really was extrely important to him.
Especially because he could use [Simulation] to blend into the monster horde.
For resolving this crisis, it would definitely produce effects he never expected!
And what surprised Caelan most wasn’t even that—
It was the fact that this [Universal Simulation] could actually be further empowered by consuming gold coins, producing entirely new effects.
To Caelan, that was imnsely valuable.
After thinking for a mont, he decisively chose to go all in.
Gold coins were running low anyway—if he spent them, he could always earn more later!
With that thought, Caelan selected the empowernt option again.
The next second, [Universal Simulation] displayed a brand-new effect.
[Effect 2: You can alter a target’s structure through decomposition, thereby reshaping the target into a completely different object.]
Holy—
Caelan’s eyelid twitched. He instantly felt that this was the real way to use [Universal Simulation]!
Compared to changing his own state, it was obvious that changing the state of a target was far more valuable.
For example—in Caelan’s hands, turning stone into gold would no longer be sothing impossible!
If he could bring that back to the original world, wouldn’t he make a fortune?
Too bad... in this world where the ga had invaded reality, gold wasn’t much more valuable than rocks.
Just then, a wheat-skinned girl carried over a mug of dark rye beer and set it before Caelan.
"Honored guest, here is the beer you ordered!"
Caelan nodded, took it, and swallowed a mouthful.
The taste—tartness mixed with dense bubbles, paired with the distinctive fragrance of wheat—had its own unique charm.
But for Caelan... ice-cold Coke was obviously far more tempting!
Still, since he was here to gather intel, he’d endure it.
"Boss lady," Caelan said, "Rodri City is already in such dire straits. Haven’t you ever thought about leaving?"
The girl paused for a mont at his question.
But soon, a faint smile surfaced on her face.
"Even if I run... where would I run to?"
"I grew up here. To , this is ho."
"And... this tavern is the only inheritance my family left behind. I don’t want to give it up."
Caelan nodded and didn’t say anything else.
After taking a few more mouthfuls of the dark rye beer, he stood up to leave.
Of course, he didn’t forget to leave two gold coins on the table.
When she saw him about to go, the girl hurried forward and stopped him.
"Honored guest, today’s expenses in the shop... we won’t be charging anything."
"Because... none of us knows if there will even be a tomorrow, isn’t that right?"
Hearing that, Caelan didn’t argue with her, nor did he try to refute her.
"Things that haven’t happened yet—who can say for sure?"
"Maybe you’ll wake up after a good sleep and find that all the monsters are already gone."
After saying that, Caelan didn’t linger. He turned and walked out of Silver Stag.
In this world, there really weren’t many people like Caelan.
And precisely because of that, the sight of his departing back left an extraordinarily deep impression on everyone present.
A person who stayed true to themself no matter what... was destined to earn others’ respect.
Once he left the tavern, Caelan imdiately activated [Universal Simulation] and simulated himself into a gust of wind.
In an instant, his body seed to lose all fixed limitations and vanished completely.
Yet Caelan could clearly sense that his body was still there—he had simply beco wind.
But his move made a lot of people jump in fright!
"Holy—did I just see that right?? How can a person disappear all of a sudden?!"
"No way, right? Wasn’t that guy just in the tavern ordering a beer??"
"It’s broad daylight—can you not scare people like that?!"
"That technique is terrifying... Could it be monsters have infiltrated the city?!"
...
Outside Rodri City, along the periter—
the frontline battlefield had reached an extrely brutal level.
Large numbers of awakeners were already locked in bloody combat with waves upon waves of monsters.
What Caelan hadn’t expected was that the monsters this ti had an obvious, defining trait—
They were all reanimated corpses.
Clearly, behind these monsters, the Deathborn King was controlling everything.
Against undead-type monsters, most awakeners lacked effective counterasures.
Instead, the church had supplied large quantities of holy water and arranged priests to provide blessings, barely managing to hold the battle line together.
Yet none of the awakeners on the field noticed—
A light breeze drifted past, rustling the treetops.
The next mont, in a place no one was watching, a blazing little sun slowly rose!
"Infinite Lightblade!"
To undead monsters, scorching light was the greatest possible counter!
The instant that radiance appeared, the undead monsters reacted as if struck by unimaginable damage.
Their previously numb expressions twisted into grotesque agony.
They curled on the ground, struggling desperately!
But that struggle was dood to be brief—because after only a few breaths, they were completely erased, leaving behind not even a single grain of ash.
"What... what just happened??"
The awakeners present were all dumbstruck.
They had been fighting continuously for more than ten hours, their minds long since numb.
But the monsters had been endless, surging like tides—so much so that they could barely tell what they’d even been through anymore.
Yet the mont the tide of monsters in front of them suddenly vanished, they finally realized—belatedly—that the battle had ended.
And it had ended in the strangest way possible.
"Can soone tell what the hell just happened just now?"
"I don’t know either! It’s like a little sun fell out of the sky and smashed the monsters to death!"
"You’re kidding, right?? With a skill that terrifying, who here could even cast it?"
"But... we didn’t see any other person here at all!!"
"This is so weird... but why do I feel like I’ve seen that little sun sowhere before...?"
