The magnificent aurora spreading across the sky accelerated, seemingly no longer caring about causing any anomalies, sweeping back and forth across the area where Lin Yi was located at a speed tens or even hundreds of times faster than before.

Passersby noticed the magnificent light that suddenly burst forth in the sky and stopped to watch, some even taking out their phones to take pictures and shouting.
一
Not far away on the campus of North High School, Haruhi Suzumiya, who was leading the SOS Brigade members to make a big splash, noticed the strange scene in the distance. In the depths of her brown pupils, the sky, reflecting the seven-colored aurora, suddenly bloomed—a beautiful light that surpassed all knowledge.
The next second, the light fell downwards.
"boom------------!!!"
Including the corner where Lin Yi was, the entire block was destroyed by the power of the "magnetic field rotation". The violent airflow spread in all directions with a rumbling sound, and the violent tremors shook the city under the setting sun, bringing many screams of fear and despair.
Unlike the moment when the sun has already fallen below the horizon, symbolizing the end of the day, this is just the beginning.
After failing to achieve its expected "goal," the colorful aurora scattered across the sky abandoned all pretense and began to "bombard" the land below again and again. Huge cracks spread wildly in all directions, and cries for help were instantly drowned out by the deafening roar of the air exploding.
This repeated itself several times before the bombardment from the "seven-colored aurora" gradually subsided.
When "Asahina Mikuru" reappears, this "person from the future" is so unfamiliar to those who know her best, from top to bottom and inside to outside, that even the most familiar person would feel genuinely strange.
She wore what looked like a semi-enclosed combat armor. The long battles and fights had left many marks on the surface of the armor. Her originally long hair had been cut into short hair that was more conducive to movement. The biggest change was in her eyes: her gaze, which used to be as weak as a hamster's gaze at a human, had become as firm as an iron will. She hovered more than 20 meters in the air and looked down at the scene she had created without wavering. She just kept her eyes fixed on the figure in the center who was slowly standing up.
Naturally, the "Yutai New One" shell, which couldn't even withstand the impact on humans, had no chance of resisting the magnetic field of this city-level object.
As the "outer shell" cracked and collapsed little by little, a distorted and illusory shadow slowly emerged, making a gesture that looked like it was looking up.
What should I call you?
"...The eleventh generation successor of the magnetic field rotation, Asahina Torako."
The familiar magnetic field force emerged layer by layer on her clenched fist, displaying a magnificent color that could mesmerize anyone. Using this force, which would later be known as "the most beautiful and the most deadly," and carrying the heavy burden of a "mission" brought about by the sacrifice of over 30 billion people, she swung that punch at Hina Torako.
"Let this era, which has just begun, end it all! The Demon King of Science and Martial Arts—"
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 674 Cycle Line: The Science and Martial Arts Demon King (Part 2)
Asahina Torako was born in a devastating era.
From interstellar space to planets, from nations to organizations, from humans to beasts—an era in which even the very concept of "morality" is crumbling.
In that era, creating clones using a cell from "Mikuru Asahina" as a template could not be considered evil, or even a crime, because there were many more powerful people outside doing far more evil things.
In that era, Asahina Torako, who was forced to grow up, learned many things, including the "rise of science and martial arts" six hundred years ago, the "prosperity of science and martial arts" four hundred years ago, the "science and martial arts competition" three hundred years ago—until the "science and martial arts demon king" descended two hundred and fifty years ago.
No one knows the real name of the Science and Martial Demon King. He was only known by the pseudonym Yu Tai Shinichi in a fragment of records from six hundred years ago.
The "demon king" disguised in a human body concealed his true nature and spread his terrifying, powerful, and deadly knowledge to the first human: science and weaponry.
The first being to accept this forbidden knowledge of science and weaponry was Asahina Torako's clone, who was also the first successor of the magnetic field rotation: Asahina Mikuru.
At that time, humanity had no idea what terrifying things they were coming into contact with, or what forbidden knowledge they were acquiring. They were simply seduced by the power hidden behind that knowledge, and in their immersion, they slowly moved closer to destruction...
In the first two hundred years after acquiring advanced technology, humanity did indeed obtain the shortcut it desired: the evolutionary process that would normally take thousands or tens of thousands of years was completed in just two hundred years.
Humanity in that era was both happy and powerful.
Advanced technology has propelled humanity toward colonizing planets beyond Earth, while highly developed science and weaponry has become a direct driving force. Technological achievements that were originally limited by the human body and could not be developed and used have emerged one after another, and then transformed into another form of "armament" in the hands of science and weaponry experts.
Through the combination of technology and weaponry, humanity has easily realized its past dreams. Distance is no longer the key limitation for humanity; lifespan is.
From that time onward, some powerful figures in science and technology were no longer willing to accept the limitation of the short lifespan of humans. When they realized that technology could not solve this limitation, they turned their attention to science and technology.
This led to a century of technological and martial arts competition and turmoil, during which more and more technological and martial arts experts emerged, and more and more of these experts, aware of their own limitations, tried to find ways to extend their finite lives through technology and martial arts. The path they found was through battle: growing in battle, being tempered in life and death, and then achieving sublimation and immortality in battle.
At that time, people did not notice who started this way of thinking; they only knew that once people reached a certain level in their scientific and martial arts training, they all unanimously accepted this concept.
So, instead of wielding guns and cannons, these humans began a "primitive" fight with their fists and palms.
The power of science and martial arts has changed everything. What was originally a small-scale spectacle has been endlessly magnified. The destruction caused by their punches and kicks is more terrifying than that of firearms and cannons. When the two science and martial arts experts, who were recognized as the top ten at the time, fought, the tectonic plates that were blasted into the ground witnessed the astonishing destructive power of science and martial arts.
At that time, humanity gradually noticed the threat lurking beneath this "shortcut" to human evolution, a threat that did not originate from the outside world but from humanity itself.
Normally evolved humans can control their hands and feet, preventing their hands from attacking themselves uncontrollably or their feet from stopping moving forward. However, the "shortcut" is different. After completing an evolution that would normally take thousands or tens of thousands of years in just two hundred years, the human gene pool does not possess the ability to control this evolution.
The weapons program has spiraled out of control.
Driven by their obsession with immortality, the powerful science and technology warriors ignored the terrifying destructive power of their fists and palms, wantonly wreaking havoc on the planet inhabited by humanity. They leveled cities, destroyed nations, and sank continents—until two hundred and fifty years ago, when the Science and Technology Demon King shattered a planet.
That was a turning point.
Before the emergence of the Science and Martial Demon King, many people had already realized the threat that science and martial arts brought while granting humanity great power. At that time, humanity still had absolute control over society. After all, no matter how strong a science and martial arts expert was, they were still limited to the atmosphere. However, humanity controlled more than one planet. It can be said that as long as they were determined, they could still contain the destruction caused by science and martial arts.
However, just as humanity decided to take formal action against the destruction caused by the Science Weapons, the Science Weapon Demon King reappeared, just as it had six hundred years ago, without any warning.
The reappearing sci-fi demon king did not conceal his identity or existence. Instead, he used his most proficient sci-fi weapon—the nuclear fusion fist—to fight his way to the mantle, and then, ignoring all eyes, used the 100 million-ton nuclear fusion fist to blast the Earth's core.
The panicked humanity was then awakened to the fact that in the past 350 years, science and technology had surpassed the technology that humanity had developed over thousands of years, and had instead gained an absolute advantage in the most advanced regions.
Having witnessed the potential of science and technology, humanity began to flock to this field, while technology, representing human wisdom, was gradually abandoned. As a result, for the next 250 years—until now—the level of technological evolution has declined rather than increased.
Of course, there were people who tried to salvage the situation, but when they finally managed to recreate PTDD and travel back 600 years to try to stop the spread of science and weaponry, they were shocked to find that there was no "science and weaponry demon king" in that era.
After calculating all the patterns and possibilities, humanity was forced to desperately acknowledge a truth: the Science and Martial Demon King exists in a timeline of a "singularity." The "science and martial arts" he spreads can extend to the back of the timeline, but the back of the timeline cannot enter the "singularity" where he is located, unless it is originally inside that "singularity".
But how do we find the existence inside the "singularity" at that time?
It was at this moment that "Asahina Mikuru" from six hundred years in the past appeared on that planet. She looked at the future, which had been reduced to ruins by the clash of powerful science and technology warriors, with a bewildered gaze. She was then discovered and brought back by her descendants six hundred years later.
What followed was a natural progression. In order to return to the "singularity," those who still retained their rationality chose to use Asahina Mikuru's cells to create clones. They then instilled the most knowledge and power into them in the shortest possible time, allowing them to return to the past. Because they were clones, they were also able to use PTDD to return to the "singularity" six hundred years ago. This is the origin of Asahina Torako's birth.
And the mission of the 20,000 clones, including Asahina Torako, is singular:
"Let this era, which has just begun, end it all! The Demon King of Science and Martial Arts—"
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 675 Cycle Line: The Science and Martial Arts Demon King (Part 2)
One hypothesis has been verified.
The results show that the so-called "time travel" in this world is just an illusion, and even the information fragments carried in the fragmented information can cause huge changes to these "futures".
Yes, the "scientific and martial arts" that Lin Yi handed over to the Future Man Organization were not pure; they were 99% real with a little bit of "personal agenda" mixed in.
Before cultivation reaches a certain level, these "private goods" will not produce any unusual phenomena. However, when the number of cultivators and the strength of cultivators increase to a certain limit, the fragments of information mixed in with "science and martial arts" will begin to spread and link automatically, eventually being born in another form as information bodies.
However, from a realistic perspective, it is almost impossible.
Regardless of whether such a short piece of information can last for hundreds of years without disappearing, the "time limit" that Lin Yi set in that short piece of information alone is destined to be unable to continue until hundreds of years later when future humans will have the time it takes to cultivate science and martial arts to the national level.
When Lin Yi extracted that small piece of information, he set a limit of three years. If no more than ten national-level indigenous "science and martial arts" practitioners appeared within three years, that piece of information would be automatically destroyed.
However, the information was not destroyed and was even transmitted 350 years later, when it was "resurrected" as the "Science and Martial Arts Demon King". It dominated the future world for 250 years without being attacked by any external forces, forcing the survivors 600 years later to use Asahina Mikuru's original cells, which were "specially" sent by Lin Yi, to create a clone of Suzuki Mikuru. Then they returned to this era to try to change what they perceived as the "Science and Martial Arts Apocalypse".
This also explains why no one from the future appeared to stop those organizations from acquiring Lin Yi's "scientific weapons" when they chose to do so. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but rather that their future, after Lin Yi's appearance, became a "singularity" that only allowed those inside to move outwards, while preventing those outside from moving inwards.
Of course, after confirming his conjecture using "science and technology," Lin Yi couldn't be sure how much of this "singularity" was accurate.
The only thing that can be said for sure is that the so-called "time travel" in this world is a complete joke.
The Future People Organization does exist, but they don't exist in a fixed future time. You can think of it as a few seconds later, or a few years later, or even hundreds of years later... But in reality? They are just the "future people" you perceive, possessing the concept of "coming from the future."
Even a fragment of information with a "lifespan" of three years can exist in the "future" for six hundred years without disappearing without a trace, let alone others.
What truly creates "time travel" is not PTDD, nor the chaotic heteromorphic technology of life, but simply "possibility": when a person at this point in time obtains something, then a "possibility" will be generated in the concept of "future", and that "possibility" will evolve independently and continuously—becoming the "future" in the mouths of future human organizations.
In this process of evolution, the concept of time is ignored. They simply follow the basic "settings" and continue to develop. For example, the emergence of "science and weaponry" will lead to the evolution towards "science and weaponry", and the existence of "information" will lead to the birth of "information"... just as "future" can only be "future" and nothing else can exist.
After confirming the illusion of "time travel", another guess that Lin Yi was previously unsure about was also confirmed.
The true nature of the "fragment" may exist in this world, but it definitely does not exist in the "future." It is an illusion that cannot be eliminated even by a small information infection, and it simply cannot support a world that keeps repeating itself.
In other words, among the four possible options—the Information Integration Thought Entity, the Agency, the Future Human Organization, and Haruhi Suzumiya—the Future Human Organization can be ruled out.
"It's time to switch to another one."
After realizing in a few seconds that all her efforts over the past three months had been in vain, Lin Yi turned her attention back to her current situation.
In order to confirm whether there were any traces of "fragments" in the "Future Man Organization", Lin Yi was the culprit who facilitated Asahina Mikuru's movement towards the future where the "Science and Martial Arts Demon King" existed through PTDD, which indirectly led to the birth and arrival of the "Asahina Tiger". Her appearance only confirmed one thing for Lin Yi, but for her, it was far from that.
"Let this era, which has just begun, end it all! The Demon King of Science and Martial Arts—"
She sees herself as "the origin of the disaster".
"That's not wrong in a certain sense."
The force of 500,000 magnetic fields falling from the sky crushed several kilometers of land. Even though she was prepared to sacrifice everything to kill the "Science and Martial Arts Demon King" and prevent that future from coming, Asahina Torako still consciously controlled the destruction. After all, Asahina Mikuru, who taught her to grow up, did not want her to become a science and martial arts madman in a doomed era.
The most obvious characteristic of a science and technology fanatic is his unbridled destruction and killing.
Under conscious control, Asahina Torako used the experience and killing moves summarized from the magnetic field rotation flow of the past generations to smash down on the "Science and Martial Demon King" who was still standing still below. Each punch and kick caused terrifying destruction like missiles, but the result was quite unsatisfactory.
Even though the "Science and Martial Arts Demon King" was standing right in front of him doing nothing, Asahina Torako's attacks seemed unable to land on him. Even the magnetic field power that distorted space could not affect his existence, as if the two of them did not exist in the same dimension from the beginning.
After several unsuccessful attacks, the girl, who would bear the responsibility of suffering and torment for the next six hundred years, was inevitably affected by the fragmented information remaining within "Science and Martial Arts".
"Ahhhhhh!!! I'm going to beat you to death with these fists, you Martial Arts Demon King!!!"
As it roared, the half-covered armor on Asahina Tiger's body bulged up piece by piece, and for a moment the original style of the delicate girl seemed to have turned into a violent and hot-blooded manga. Lin Yi was also a little curious about this scene.
"Can cultivating a magnetic field change one's personality?"
"Magnetic field rotation—600,000 horsepower!!!"
With a "whoosh," everything in the city taller than five meters was instantly crushed into dust by the sweeping magnetic field, and a dazzling array of seven colors fell back and forth toward the center.
"Undying?! Take another punch from me—magnetic field rotation, 700,000 horsepower!!!"
Driven by obsession, Asahina Torako could no longer restrain her power. The magnetic field of 700,000 horses instantly spread across half the island, plunging countless people into chaos in this sudden disaster.
"Still alive?! Ahh ...
Looking down from outer space, the entire Japanese island appears as if it has been struck by a hammer, collapsing downwards from a single point.
"Still alive after all this?! Fine, fine, take this—900,000 units of my magnetic field—!!!"
The tectonic plates straddling Asia and Europe began to tremble under this pure force, and even Western Europe, separated by a hemisphere, felt the vibration beneath its feet.
Within the "nearby" campus of Kita High School, even Koizumi Itsuki, who had disregarded the possibility of his superpowers being exposed, couldn't withstand the residual force leaking from the center and was killed in an 18-magnitude earthquake caused by the rotation of 900,000 horsepower. After the death of this superpowered individual, Suzumiya Haruhi, now completely unprotected, was directly exposed to the devastating aftershocks, watching in horror as the wall crashed down on her head—
At the same moment, in the center of the battlefield, which had already been smashed into the earth's crust.
The rotating magnetic field permeated every cell of Asahina Torako's body. This power did not belong to her, but was passed down from ten generations of magnetic field rotation inheritors over the past six hundred years. Even in that era of the end of science and technology, the magnetic field rotation flow always possessed the strongest power. Now, having inherited the power of ten generations of "magnetic field rotation flow" inheritors, Asahina Torako has reached a new level, pushing the magnetic field rotation to an unprecedented degree.
Now, this power will be unleashed in this world for the first and last time!
"I will die after I throw this punch."
The wildly rotating magnetic field was no longer confined to the surface of her fist, but covered her and the entire area she was in, forming a terrifying shape like a black hole. Any matter that came into contact with this area was pulverized into the most basic atomic state, with only the burly figure at the center standing still.
"However, this punch will also be the strongest punch that no being in this world can withstand."
Six hundred years, ten generations of magnetic field rotation flow inheritors' memories swirled in his mind. It was the hope for the future, the panic in the face of upheaval, the despair in the face of the end of the world... Everything, passed down to this moment, has become a kind of inevitable belief.
But when she raises her fist again, the gravitational center of the planet beneath her feet inevitably shifts from the Earth's core to her fist.
"You really think you're invincible?! The Demon King of Science and Martial Arts—!!!"
A roar, repeated eleven times, erupted from her mouth: "How could you possibly imagine my strength now! Magnetic field rotation of 970,000 horsepower... Sea Tiger Explosion—"
Whether it's the shattered Earth, the planets with their orbits deflected, the twisted and collapsing strata, or even Asahina Torako about to unleash a punch that could shatter the void, everything seemed to freeze in an instant, like a film that had been paused.
Then, the video begins to rewind.
Asahina Torako began to retract his fist, his expression returning to calm. The "magnetic field rotation" covering the surrounding area disappeared without a trace, the deflected planet returned to its orbit, and the collapsed structure stabilized... layer by layer, little by little, time and time again, smoothing out all traces of what "happened," and then bringing it back to the time before it "happened."
The illusory image of information remained standing still, silently observing the ever-accelerating "retreat" below, from the first second to the next minute, hour, day, month.
……
……
……
May weather is unpredictable; one moment it's sunny and the next it's overcast. This forced Yu Tai Shinichi, who had to continue searching for people in the pouring rain, to... oh, he's already dead.
Standing in the light drizzle, Lin Yi calmly gazed at this unchanging world.
