My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 131: The Seven Minutes Ago World Hypothesis[Begin recording.]
[Hmm... where should I start?]
[Oh, right, have you heard of the Seven Minutes Ago World Hypothesis?]
[It's a fascinating theory proposed by a great philosopher.]
[Suppose the world was just created seven minutes ago by some unknown creator. All the life, mountains, rivers, oceans, stars, and everything we think has a "long history"—like the words in books, fossils in the earth's crust, scars on the human body, your childhood memories in your mind—were all created simultaneously, complete and without any flaws.]
[Then, would you have any way to prove that this world wasn't born just seven minutes ago?]
[The answer is...]
[No.]
[There's neither a way to disprove it nor a way to confirm it.]
[Past experiences, unforgettable memories, the elements that make up your personality—none of them can serve as reference points. As long as the means are flawless enough, it's impossible to verify truth from falsehood.][Hah, I've gotten a bit off track.]
[But anyway...]
[The reason I bring this up is that what I'm doing right now is probably something like that.]
[But it's not meant to make anyone dwell on pointless thoughts and worries.]
[I simply hope that the "Utopia" project, which the board put me in charge of, can give your mother, and others who have fallen into misfortune or even despair in reality for various reasons, a chance.]
[A chance to forget their misfortune and obtain a complete and happy life.]
[It's not a simple brain-computer interface type, nor is it a mere copy of memories and information.]
[This is a world that can truly integrate into the mind, compile memories, modify the soul, and let people immerse themselves completely.]
[Right now, my spiritual consciousness is inside an artifact salvaged from the Abyss.]
[From the outside, it looks like a simple black gem, but it's the core of the "Utopia" project.]
[Even though it's quite damaged, the strength of this artifact still firmly ranks at Second Sequence... or saying B-Rank might be easier to understand. It possesses the great power to sustain a world that exists between falsehood and reality.]
[As long as there's sufficient energy supply from the outside and computational power provided by the matrix, this world can perfectly simulate and sustain supernatural forces below B-Rank. It can even free the soul from the body's influence and escape those terrible diseases.]
[That's why the board put me in charge of this project.]
[I might not be a qualified father, but at least I'm called "the most outstanding game designer of the modern era."]
[This project has absorbed years of my effort. I managed to mobilize the internal power of the artifact to create a highly capable AI assistant. The board opened database permissions to me. Two company executives are assisting me from the outside, along with an almost unlimited supply of supernatural resources.]
[Even for a company the size of L Corp, this is a massive investment.]
[The board promised that as long as this project makes significant progress, your mother can be the first to enter this spiritual world, with the right to the highest level of indefinite care here.]
[Even a soul-level infection can potentially be reversed step by step with the blessing of the "Sacred Tree" authority I control.]
[I know that a considerable number of company executives will definitely use this place as a training ground and testing ground.]
[I'm fully aware of what perfect simulation of supernatural forces means... but I don't have the power or ability to stop it.]
[After all, I'm barely a C-Rank "Data Editor." My profession's expertise and spells aren't suited for combat. The reason I was entrusted with this responsibility is simply that my profession is particularly suitable for leading this project.]
[I've thought it over. Let them have most of this world's capacity. They can use the outer areas heavily contaminated by the Abyss however they want. They can even borrow its power to simulate upper-level Nightmare Seeds comparable to peak C-Rank supernaturals for training and experiments—it's more than enough.]
[For your mother and me, as long as there's a single town, a city where those who truly need happiness can live, that's enough for us.]
[Oh, right, I mentioned the Sacred Tree earlier, didn't I?]
[It's quite remarkable. Although this world is full of black fog like Abyss contamination, I found a single pure and vibrant seed.]
[I suspect this is the "highest authority" of this world, and it can even influence the Abyss's power. At first, I couldn't even believe that something could control the Abyss to some extent... even if it's a dead Abyss, that's incredible enough.]
[I planted it, infused it with magic power, and it grew, becoming magnificent.]
[Moreover, the Sacred Tree has incredible power. In a way, it is "the world itself." Pure-hearted girls can form contracts with it, dig out power from their souls, and become the most orthodox and pure magical girls... Perhaps that's why the Abyss is affected by it too.]
[It's truly unbelievable. I thought that with today's social environment, the birth of a "chosen" magical girl was almost impossible.]
[Although... that might not necessarily be a good thing.]
[But having a sword in hand but not using it, and having no sword to use, are two different things.]
[Back to the main topic. This world still has many mysteries I haven't uncovered. I need to figure them out quickly.]
[But no matter what, I promise this will be the greatest game I've ever made in my life.]
The man with emerald-green eyes stared at the fixed camera position in the void, showing a proud smile.
[Speaking of which...]
[Su Fang, do you want to become a magical girl?]
....
Consciousness surfaced from the deep sea.
[You have died.]
[Mission Evaluation: B-Rank]
[Achievement Unlocked: Victory...?]
[Reward: Magic Aptitude (E+), Soul Gem (Empty) (C)]
[Note: Due to the special nature of the S-Rank Difficulty Trial, each time a new evaluation is achieved, the system will directly issue corresponding reward items. This reward is independent of the trial's final reward.]
[Settle with B-Rank Evaluation?]
[YES/NO]
The stern-faced young man stared at the familiar ceiling above him, not moving for a long time, while red light lingered in his eyes.
"..."
"NO."
Unlike the previous exhaustion from fighting until the last moment and dying from fatigue.
Because of the rest in the Trial World, Lin Guang's current state was full—his energy was abundant, his stamina and magic power were all at peak condition.
But...
At this moment, Lin Guang's black eyes were still somewhat unfocused, as endless conjectures, doubts, and information swirled in his heart.
