Shen Jie looked at the feather bracelet on his wrist and said slowly, “…The Evil King of Termination, what is that?”
The system, feeling exasperated with its host’s lack of familiarity with the original book, explained:
[It’s the ultimate boss that destroys the world in the book! Although it’s not described in detail, it’s just briefly mentioned at the end of the story, but ‘it’ does indeed exist.]
Speaking of which, the system cleared its throat and began to read the original text.
[On the day of the end, the last hero falls before dawn.
Darkness shrouds the earth. The light is extinguished forever.
We do not know where ‘He’ came from, or why. We do not know why ‘He’ brought such long suffering to the earth, standing by and watching coldly from the high heavens.
Until the curtain falls on this long war, ‘His’ imposing figure finally appears in the night. The hero gazes into ‘His’ eyes before death, feeling the incomparable and indescribable evil.
‘He’ is the end. ‘He’ is the truth behind all the mist.
But the truth that humanity has always sought, they will never have the chance to find the answer again.
The history of time ends here. Ashes form the final curtain.]
Shen Jie: “…Huh.”
The system asked in confusion: [Host?]
Shen Jie replied leisurely, “It sounds like this book, is it considered unfinished?”
[Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.]
Looking up at the sky, the system said, [I also think the ending is quite unfinished. The author probably ran out of energy and hastily concluded the ending. Such a thrilling novel, with millions of words written, turned into a tragedy in the end!]
[However, host, we can now try to rewrite the ending.]
[For the sake of this world… and for the sake of your partner.] The system continued to persuade tirelessly.
Shen Jie remained noncommittal. He touched the soft wristband on his wrist, feeling fluffy and warm, very comfortable to touch. So he touched it with his other hand and asked, “How do you use this thing?”
The system finally convinced the host and hurriedly said, [It’s very simple! The snowy owl is now integrated into your body. You just need to concentrate, and you’ll be able to sense it. Then, use your thoughts to issue your ‘commands’.]
Shen Jie asked, “Commands?”
[For example, when you want to absorb the infection from an ordinary person, just aim at the source of the infection and issue the command “absorb”, and the Feather of Creation will start working on its own.]
[The little snowy owl’s growth requires nourishment, and now is the time for a big meal.]
There were still hundreds of severely injured and infected patients in the infusion hall outside, which could indeed provide enough energy for the Feather of Creation.
The problem was, according to the information registered in the city, he was just an ordinary person.
How could he explain suddenly possessing the special abilities of the “Life” category?

“System, give me the additional rewards from the previous task settlement.”
[No problem, host], the system replied.
A stack of shiny energy crystal cards appeared in his hand.
The energy crystal card’s surface was hollowed out, with smooth lines and a texture that exuded a sense of technological beauty.
Ten of them were red, and one was purple.
The system explained, [The red ordinary energy cards can supplement the energy needed for various actions of the exoskeleton in daily life. They are very portable and can be used anytime, anywhere; the purple special energy card can supplement the special resources needed for activating various special functions of the exoskeleton, such as creating your second form or crafting your second weapon.]
[Usage Instructions: Align the edge with the silver magnetic stripe of the energy card with the groove on the top of the exoskeleton card, and swipe the card in the direction indicated. Each card can only be swiped once. Please use with caution.]
Shen Jie picked up the purple special energy card and swiped it.
The familiar manipulation platform appeared before his eyes. However, this time, there was a screen for selecting a prepared form.
Prepared form 1 resembled Zong Lin.
As for the place of prepared form 2, it was a new simulated template.
Shen Jie pondered, stroking his chin.
What should he create this time?

“Quick! Bring in the next patient!”
In the emergency room, Huo Yan Yuan’s tone was urgent as he instructed the nearby nurses.
“Director Huo, maybe we should just forget it,” even the nurse who had been on numerous rescue missions at the forefront of the mist couldn’t hold back her tears, “It’s useless. They’re still going to die. I don’t want to kill anymore.”
“This isn’t killing, it’s saving lives! We’re running out of time. We must find a way to separate the infection… Otherwise, everyone here will die… Damn it!”
Huo Yan Yuan was extremely agitated, his hands itching to grab his hair, but remembering he was still wearing rubber gloves contaminated with remnants of the infection, his hand froze halfway.
His face still looked quite young, but with deep wrinkles and sparse hair, he appeared older than his years.
The young nurse had already broken down emotionally and didn’t follow instructions, turning and running away. With no other choice, Huo Yan Yuan angrily ripped off his gloves and stormed out of the temporary operating room—he had to go get the patient himself!
But as soon as he reached the intensive care unit, Huo Yan Yuan narrowed his eyes and saw someone in a white coat standing by a patient’s bed, their back to the door, seemingly doing something.
“Who are you!?”
Huo Yan Yuan pushed the door open abruptly and strode over.
He saw the figure still not turning around, continuing with whatever they were doing.
It was a tall, slender young man with glasses, sharp cheekbones, and pale skin—a face that would blend into a crowd, except for one distinguishing feature: behind the glasses, the young man had deep green eyes.
Wearing white rubber gloves, he was currently manipulating the infected area of the patient, with a white light emanating from his hands.
Huo Yan Yuan quickly recognized it—it was clearly the white light emitted when the “Life” ability was activated!
[Host, I’ve already hacked into the city’s resident database for you and added city resident identity information for you.]
[Your current name is: Su Shiyu. Your identity is an orphan who has been engaged in outdoor mist cleanup work for a long time. Because of your ordinary appearance and lack of a fixed team, few people remember you. This time back to the city, you don’t plan to stay long, so you just rented a room in a convenient hotel, room number 7306. At noon today, you passed by the Psychological Treatment Center and were accidentally involved in the mist, awakening your ability.]
The system’s fabrication was very meticulous. Because in a tightly controlled city, creating a fake identity out of thin air not only required hacking skills surpassing the times but also had to be flawless.
Working in outdoor mist cleanup with helmet and protective clothing was the least recognizable profession.
Because of this, even minors would secretly do it.
This profession perfectly suited this identity.
“You want to use your ability to treat patients?… Stop!”
Huo Yan Yuan said sternly.
After many years of medical practice, he was most afraid of these young “Life” ability users acting recklessly, without considering whether their abilities were compatible with the constitution of ordinary people, simply acting rashly.
These syringes would explode upon contact with abilities!
But the catastrophic scene Huo Yan Yuan envisioned did not happen. He watched as the green-eyed youth’s white light enveloped the patient’s head, and the liquid inside the huge syringe gradually disappeared.
After the liquid disappeared completely, the green-eyed youth gently pulled the syringe out of the patient’s head—as if pulling out a radish, it came out effortlessly.
“Alright, it’s okay now,” the youth said indifferently.
—-
Shen Jie himself was currently sitting on a bench in the area for lightly injured patients, while his consciousness extended to the exoskeleton in the intensive care unit—
Feeling an additional body was peculiar, but manipulating it didn’t feel awkward at all, as if it was always his own body.
And thus, outsiders would never imagine that they were the same person.
When the infection in the patients was completely absorbed, Shen Jie couldn’t help but rub his fingertips, feeling a slight tremor.
That his own hands could one day heal others… it was truly unbelievable.
—-
Huo Yan Yuan was very shocked.
But when he checked that the patient’s vital signs were stable and everything was fine, he was ecstatic— he actually saved them!
Despite the peculiar way the green-eyed youth appeared, saving lives was the top priority!
“Quick, there are patients here.” “There are also patients here.” “And here too!” He eagerly led the young man through the makeshift wards set up in the temporary camp.
The “Feather of Creation” had a good meal, and the snowy owl “hoo-hooed” as if hiccupping, but it hadn’t advanced yet.
[Currently, the advancement progress of the ‘Feather of Creation’ is 39%.]
The system scratched its nose, [From Stage One to Stage Two, if everything goes smoothly, we only need to absorb infection from 1000 people.]
Shen Jie: “What about reaching Stage Nine?”
Reaching Stage Nine would allow Zong Lin to be treated.
System: [According to the estimated model, if relying solely on the infection volume of ordinary people, it would probably require 10 to the power of 9…..]
Shen Jie: “?”
[But this is just theoretical! Just theoretical!] The system hastily patched, [Moreover, the evolution of the ‘Feather of Creation’ is not only based on absorbing ordinary infections, but more importantly…]
The system’s voice hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly, Shen Jie experienced an intensely eerie sensation of being watched.
He abruptly lifted his head and looked toward the corner of the ceiling.
There, within the dark shadow, he saw a crimson eyeball floating, appearing out of nowhere, locking gazes with him.

The Castle of the Repairer.
The Snail Repairer was using its tentacles to “repair” the body of the white-eyed girl.
After finally completing the repair, it stood up and slowly walked over to the figure of the crystal ball in the hands of the black-cloaked figure.
A cute little boy flapped his colorful wings, being closely pursued by an ability user.
“Poor little thing, you’ve been used as bait, attracting attention,” the Snail Repairer said.
It always spoke directly, without any reservation. Whether as a human or after becoming an alien, it remained the same.
The black-cloaked figure said, “Children need more exercise.”
With that, it tapped its fingers on the crystal ball.
The image shifted, arriving at the temporary camp of the treatment center.
Zong Lin and Zhu Wu You’s attention was drawn away by the core taken away by Tong Tong, leaving no time to consider the situation inside the city.
So now, it was the perfect opportunity to completely solve the troubles that neither Luo Yu nor Lin Ze had resolved before.
Poor System…
