As long as Setsuna Shimazaki is safe, that's enough; everyone else is irrelevant.
However, she can no longer help others even if she wants to.
I'm so angry! How could I have lost my mind and dragged this girl into this world? If it weren't for her, I would have run away with Setsuna long ago! Ugh, so annoying!!!
That damn Yoshikage Kira, why did he have to write a novel like this, and create such a ridiculously overpowered character?!
"I think some of you might be wondering why you can't see the following article."
The Holy Son spoke again, leaving some people momentarily dazed.
Yeah, why?
This level of information blocking is something that ordinary people cannot achieve.
"It's very simple. Do you really think all of this was imagined by a mere mortal?"
(It really was just something a mortal imagined.)
Isn't it something that was imagined by the same author?
Could it be——
“You guessed right. The unknown deity had already arranged everything. That inexplicable inspiration was poured into that mortal’s mind. Under its guidance, the mortal wrote that book. But the god granted me the right to write the last paragraph.”
"What do you think I should write? Why don't you take a look first?"
Upon hearing this, many people carrying computers and mobile phones immediately left the battlefield and began searching.
On the novel website, in the final chapter, characters appear one after another before their eyes, just like an author typing on a document.
However, isn't this typing speed a bit too slow...?
Meanwhile, many reincarnators took the opportunity to launch sneak attacks, backstab, and throw knives filled with justice (poison), further confusing the situation.

The story is almost over, don't panic.
Chapter 196 Paradise Lost
This is the final battle.
My companions and I stormed into the sealed-off church, retrieved the rune mark we had seized from the Pope, and broke the seal.
The Holy Son is inside.
Accompanied by a nauseating light, the church doors slowly opened.
The Holy Son stood there quietly, calmly watching us.
"You arrived even faster than I expected. You truly deserve to be the one I chose."
"Chosen by you? What does that mean?"
A strong sense of unease suddenly welled up inside me, and my intuition warned me not to listen any longer.
However, my body seemed to have a mind of its own and remained motionless.
"Why do you think it was such a coincidence that you signed a contract with a newly born deity?"
"You mean-"
Impossible, impossible!
how can that be!
I kept denying my crazy idea in my mind, praying that it wasn't true.
"You guessed right, all of this was accomplished under my arrangement. Otherwise, what makes you think that an ordinary person like you could have signed a contract with a god?"
The Son of God's eyes, marked with the Holy Cross, stared straight at me, as if he could see right through me.
"this--"
I tried to convince myself that He was lying.
But a strange intuition told me that what He said was true.
Unable to verify any of this, I had no choice but to contact Xinyue through the contract.
Xin Yue, she is the deity I have made a pact with.
However, her answer shocked me.
"Ah, actually, I just wanted to come to Earth for fun. When I suddenly saw you, I found you very pleasing to the eye, so I made a contract with you, hehe (*^▽^*)."
Her voice was still as melodious as ever, but all of this gave me the creeps.
The Holy Son spoke the truth!
"Then why did you do this? Why did you specifically target me?"
I forced myself to calm down and asked the Holy Son a question in return.
"Let me answer your second question first. Why were we approaching you? No, it's just that you were lucky. It would have been the same for anyone else."
His emotionless words were like a heavy hammer blow, shattering my pride.
Is all my hard work and achievements simply because I was lucky at the time?
This... this is impossible...
"Don't be fooled by his words! Han, everything you've done is the result of your own hard work and sweat! We were all saved by you! Even without all of this, your gentleness is inherent in you! That's what attracts us to you."
In short, the protagonist regained his spirits after a barrage of verbal attacks from his harem.
"The plot is just so-so."
"Yeah yeah."
"Hurry up! My barrier is about to give way!"
"What's the panic? A man has to be firm. We're watching the author write live. What can I do if his typing speed is slow? Besides, isn't that guy still fighting with Miss Military Girl? How is he writing?"
The time traveler, engrossed in reading the article on his computer, was completely oblivious to the furious glare from his defensive companion.
You're dead meat!
"As for why I did this? It's simple, this world is beyond saving. Do you know why the sun rots?"
As the Holy Son spoke, he suddenly posed one of the most difficult problems in the world today.
Why would the sun, which was perfectly fine, suddenly rot?
Some deities said they did it themselves, some said they didn't know, and some refused to answer the question.
"It's very simple. The sun came into contact with something indescribable and forbidden."
"That's impossible. Forbidden things were only created after the gods descended."
"That's why I said it was an indescribable forbidden object. The effect of that forbidden object is very simple: it simply absorbs emotions and converts them into energy. It's just that the scope of this object is somewhat 'wide'. Then, this thing absorbed the evil and good thoughts from the past and present on Earth. But unfortunately, in the face of human sins, that good thought was too insignificant, so it was immediately swallowed up by the evil thoughts. Then, that enormous evil thought, which was enough to terrify even the gods, polluted the sun."
Hearing the Holy Son's emotionless words and face, I clenched my fists.
I already know what he's going to do.
However, I would still like to know the specific details of the plan.
What role would I play in this plan that would make him go to such lengths?
"Yes, humanity itself is the root of all disasters. Therefore, I will give this world its end."
"I've prepared everything for this plan. Now all I need is someone to sign a contract with the newborn deity."
"The rotting sun is about to erupt, and the earth will be destroyed. But I find that too boring, so I want to do something else. And you and the god who signed the contract with you are the best tools."
How arrogant! To dare to refer to deities as mere props.
However, no one underestimated the words of this holy son.
If it weren't for His intervention, they would have been defeated by the pope who was possessed by a deity long ago.
After all, the deity of this church is an old and established deity, and Xin Yue is no match for Him at all.
To accomplish divine things with a body that is not divine.
"Wow, this plot is a bit cliché."
"Yeah yeah."
"..."
"Why don't you speak?"
"I'm out of magic, you damn well better get your ass up now!"
"Oh......"
After responding, the time traveler put down the computer, walked forward, and revealed his back to his companion who had been in charge of defense. At that moment, a glint of light appeared in his companion's eyes.
"Now! Eat my Konoha Taijutsu Secret Technique—Thousand Years of Death!!!"
"Aaaaaaah♂——FA♂Q!"
------
"As you can see, this is the ending I wrote. Doesn't it seem cliché?"
Many people exchanged glances but remained silent.
I wouldn't dare say it's bad.
"Don't worry about it, after all, I'm not a professional writer. But guess what I want to do?"
How would I know what you're trying to do...
I hate those kinds of incomplete or fragmented posts the most...
What exactly are you trying to say?
Altair couldn't help but ask loudly.
"What I'm about to say, Altair, don't be in such a hurry. As a reader, you need to be patient. But first, let me show you the true face of this paradise."
"—"
—The world shattered here.
—Paradise vanished here.
This is a place of no hope.
This is a place where suffering breeds.
This is the land of original sin's jubilation.
—This is the land scorched by red lotuses.
—This is the Infinite Abyss
This is Paradise Lost.

The amusement park has disappeared.
All that remains is a desolate wasteland.
A dusty sky, a hazy mist, withered plants, barren land...
