Episode 140: This time, it’s no longer the lonely death.『 Viewers of Countless World 』

At this moment, the Doctor’s words were like a reassurance, settling firmly in everyone’s hearts.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for all of this to pass quickly.

[ Takanashi Hina (PapaKiki): "Doctor Uncle is so amazing!" ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "As expected, the Doctor can still be trusted. No matter when, as long as you trust the Doctor, everything will be fine." ~ ]

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Now, we just need to prevent new paradoxes from arising, and then slowly wait." ]

『 During this waiting time, Papa Rose went to find his "big" daughter, Rose. Having just become a father, he was especially curious to know if he would be a good and capable father in the future.

Looking at her father, who was both strange and familiar, Rose paused and said,

"You..."

"You would tell me bedtime stories every night before I went to sleep."

"And at that time, I was very young."

"You were always there, and you never missed a single one."

"Then..."

"Every Saturday, you would take the two of us for a picnic in the suburbs."

"You were always the one who never disappointed us."

"You were always there to accompany us."

"In my heart, you are a very, very good father." 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "This whole passage is a lie Rose made up herself, isn’t it? She never even saw her father during her childhood..." ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "She really, I’m crying." ]

[ .....]

『 But... Listening to Rose’s emotional reply, Papa Rose’s smile slowly faded.

As a father, he could feel his daughter was lying out of kindness.

Because he knew himself, the self who occasionally disappointed people,

He was not always able to be by his family’s side.

Nevertheless,

Rose still couldn’t bring herself to say that today was the day her father passed away.

She could only sit quietly beside the Doctor, waiting for this moment to return to normal.

At that time, everyone here would forget all of this.

But the changes Rose made would remain,

Until the future...

"So, you mean, I can still live?" Papa Rose, sitting behind them, said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Rose suddenly turned her head, her eyes wide as she looked at her father.

Papa Rose also vaguely guessed the truth.

The occurrence of this disaster was actually caused by himself, who should not have existed in this world.

Papa Rose, with tears in his eyes, looked at his daughter, whom he shouldn’t have met, full of deep affection.

"I’m so useless."

"I can’t even leave quietly."

"Everything that’s happening now is my responsibility, my fault."

"It’s all my fault," Rose said self-reproachfully.

But before she finished speaking, Papa Rose interrupted.

"No." Papa Rose looked at his daughter with firm eyes: "Darling, you are my daughter."

"I am your father."

"The mistakes I made, I will make up for them."

At this moment, Rose Mother’s voice sounded from the side: "Her father?"

Rose Mother looked at her husband with an incredulous expression.

She had originally thought this girl was at most a lover,

She never expected her to be her husband’s flesh and blood? This was too unbelievable for her.

And when Rose Mother heard that this girl was also named Rose,

She immediately became furious.

"What do you mean? Another Rose? Are you crazy?"

"How dare you use a secondhand name for my daughter?"

"How many Roses do you have, you guy?"

Papa Rose looked at his agitated wife with a wry smile, quickly took Little Rose from her arms,

And stuffed her into Adult Rose’s embrace, intending to compare them carefully.

But no one expected,

Just as the two Roses were about to touch, the Doctor wanted to rush over to stop them, but it was already too late.

Two identical people from different timelines, at the moment of touching,

A new temporal paradox was born. 』

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Huh? The previous paradox hasn’t been solved yet, and a new one has started?" ]

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "It seems things are going to get even worse now, and the Doctor has disappeared." ]

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "No, there’s still a way." ]

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "Is it... to let Papa Rose fulfill his destiny?" ]

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Yes." ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "How could this happen? She just met her father, and she was so happy." ]

[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai) "There’s nothing we can do about it; this is the consequence of a temporal paradox." ]

[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai) "For all of this to happen smoothly, Papa Rose must die as he did in history." ]

[ .....]

『 On the screen. Using the power of that huge temporal contradiction, the Reaper instantly broke through the church’s defenses.

As soon as he entered the church, he intended to slaughter everyone.

The people in the church screamed and ran in all directions, panicking.

"I am the oldest existence here!" The Doctor stepped forward, shielding everyone behind him, and shouted.

These words were exactly what the Reaper wanted.

Just like before, he pounced fiercely and swallowed the Doctor.

At this moment,

Except for Rose, who hadn’t recovered and stood still, everyone else had already desperately fled for their lives.

The Reaper chased after the crowd and ended up crashing into the TARDIS, which was being repaired.

In the blink of an eye, both disappeared into the depths of the church.

The key stuck in the TARDIS door fell to the ground as the TARDIS vanished.

Rose walked over, bent down, and picked it up.

This time, the key was no longer hot.

The TARDIS was gone, and the Doctor had been swallowed by the Reaper.

The remaining people were at a loss.

They could only stay in the church, waiting, waiting for the moment death arrived.

The church walls were becoming less and less able to hold up, and they seemed to have lost all hope.

Just then,

Papa Rose leaned against the window and saw a familiar small car.

It was like being trapped in a loop of time, constantly circling the street corner. Google seaʀᴄh novelhall.com

Papa Rose had noticed it when he first arrived here.

But the Doctor had told him then not to bother with these minor situations.

Papa Rose understood everything now.

In fact, earlier, the Doctor knew that if Papa Rose sacrificed himself, all of this could be stopped.

It was just that he didn’t want Rose to suffer the pain of losing a loved one again.

But now, there was no other way.

Papa Rose had to act according to his predetermined destiny to bring this chaotic world back on track.

But Rose didn’t want her father to sacrifice himself again.

Papa Rose was already content, seeing his daughter achieve special things in the future. 』

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "Is he going to fulfill the outcome of his death?" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "I’m a little afraid to watch, knowing your own death’s destiny and still having to fulfill it." ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "But at this moment, knowing his daughter is like this, he must be very relieved, right?" ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "It must be!" ]

[ Chihaya Ayase (Chihayafuru): "Even knowing the outcome of his death, he still goes to his death..." ]

[ .....]

『 Then, Papa Rose on the screen called Rose Mother over.

He wanted her to look closely and see who the Rose in front of her really was.

From initial confusion to final realization,

Rose’s Mother finally couldn’t control herself and cried out loudly:

"Rose, you are my daughter—Rose!"

With that, she stepped forward and hugged the grown-up Rose.

These anxious mother and daughter finally recognized each other at this moment.

Unfortunately, this family of three had just experienced the joy of reunion, only to face the pain of eternal separation in the blink of an eye.

Rose felt a myriad of emotions.

"In the past, I never told you bedtime stories,"

"Nor did I take you on picnics,"

"I never did any of these things for you."

Before acting, Papa Rose looked at his future daughter, Rose, with deep affection.

"But you always wanted to do these things." Tears welled up in Rose’s eyes.

"Now, I can do these things for you," Papa Rose said firmly to Rose.

"Now, I’m going to be a good father."

For his daughter’s future, Papa Rose willingly accepted the destined farewell.

"But this is too unfair..." Rose looked at her father, crying and asking, "Why is this happening?"

"No, darling," Papa Rose comforted, "I’ve lived several hours longer than you remember. Who in this world has such a blessing?"

"And..."

"I get to see you... You are so beautiful."

"How lucky I am..."

Papa Rose’s tone gradually changed.

"So, now you have to listen to Daddy."

Although her heart was full of reluctance, and tears still sparkled in her eyes,

Rose understood that the moment of separation had finally arrived.

She picked up the key item nearby—the vase,

And handed it to her father.

"Will you be there with me, baby?" Papa Rose asked Rose after taking it.

"Thank you very much for saving my life."

With that, the family of three (or four?) embraced tightly.

But no matter how reluctant, Papa Rose would eventually leave.

He held the vase and rushed out of the church,

Hurtling towards the crossroads of destiny before the circulating car arrived.

"Goodbye... Rose!"

At the moment the car hit, Papa Rose closed his eyes and whispered goodbye.

Immediately, just as everything began,

The car accident happened again.

As the temporal paradox was resolved, the monsters in the sky vanished without a trace.

Those who had been swallowed slowly returned to the real world.

Of course, this also included the Doctor, who appeared behind Rose. 』

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Great, the Doctor is back." ]

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "The temporal paradox has disappeared, everything has returned to normal." ]

[ Mai Sakurajima (Bunny Girl Senpai): "That means that her father is already dead." ]

[ .....]

『 "Go now, while there’s still time," the Doctor advised Rose.

Rose understood and rushed towards her father in a hurry.

By the time she reached him, her father was already on his last breath.

Although he didn’t have time to say his last words, he left the world with a smile.

In this way, Rose also achieved her biggest wish for this journey:

Not letting her father walk through life alone.

"Peter Allan Tyler. My father."

"He was the most amazing being in this world."

"Passed away on November 7, 1987."

Rose’s voice, carrying a trace of sorrow, slowly drifted away as she and the Doctor returned to the TARDIS. 』

『 .....』

The screen went black.

"Ding! ’Even if it breaks the laws of time, I want to save you,’ concludes."

"Ding! ’The Doctor’s Most Terrifying Enemy—The Last Dalek?’ begins."

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "The Doctor’s ultimate nemesis?" ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "What’s going on? What kind of enemy can be called the Doctor’s nemesis?" ]

[ Busujima Saeko (High School of the Dead): "Since it’s a nemesis, then this person named Dalek must be very powerful?" ]

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "But if they’re powerful, why is there only one left?" ]

[ Busujima Saeko (High School of the Dead): "That... I don’t know." ]

[ .....]

『 In the screen, one day,

The Doctor suddenly picked up a special distress signal.

Following this signal, the Doctor and his human companion, Rose, arrived in what appeared to be the basement of a museum.

And in this museum, strange alien artifacts were displayed everywhere.

In addition to common meteorites and spaceship wreckage,

There were also many body specimens of alien creatures, and even the Doctor’s former arch-enemy—the Cybermen—were displayed there.

But as the Doctor caused a stir, they inadvertently triggered the alarm system.

The two were instantly surrounded by a large group of soldiers.

Then, they were escorted to the museum’s curator, the super-rich old man.

At that time, the old man was fully engrossed in studying an alien antique, fiddling with it for a long time without understanding what it was for.

The Doctor, however, recognized at a glance that what the old man held was merely an alien musical instrument.

He took it from the old man in a few swift moves and immediately played a tune for everyone present.

The old man, who had just learned how to play the alien instrument, his face full of excitement, instantly turned indifferent.

He casually tossed the alien instrument aside,

Looked at the Doctor with an unfriendly gaze,

Then directly asked about the Doctor’s origins.

"Not bad, who exactly are you?"

"How did you end up in my museum’s basement?"

It was then that everyone understood that this old man was a billionaire, but he was different from ordinary rich people.

He was an expert who knew everything, passionate about collecting all sorts of alien treasures.

The museum’s basement was filled with his private collection.

But the Doctor saw through the old man’s facade of feigned erudition at a glance.

"You, you think you know everything, but you don’t understand the treasures in this museum at all."

"For things you don’t understand, you simply isolate them from the outside world."

"Then let me ask you, do you dare say your knowledge is more profound than mine?" The old man walked up to the Doctor and challenged him.

"Yes, my knowledge is indeed richer than yours," the Doctor replied frankly, without any politeness.

At this moment, the old man, completely seen through by the Doctor, felt a little awkward.

But he quickly changed his mind.

Since the Doctor seemed to know everything, why not take him to see the most troublesome item in his collection?

It was a living metal object.

To make this thing speak, the old man had racked his brains, using every method he could think of.

But so far, apart from occasional screams, this piece of metal remained silent most of the time.

Perfect, the Doctor claimed to know everything, so let him try to make this thing talk.

At the same time, the Doctor also had a rough idea.

The distress signal he had received earlier was likely emitted by this metal object in front of him.

The Doctor strode into the special room and said to the metal object in a friendly manner:

"Hello, I’m here to help you. I am the Doctor."

"Is that the Doctor?" The metal entity, upon hearing the Doctor’s voice, immediately emitted a sound and light that even frightened the Doctor.

As the surrounding lights came on.

A dilapidated pepper pot, wrapped in chains, appeared before everyone.

And below it, a line of explanation was written.

⟦ The Doctor’s most terrifying enemy—Dalek ⟧ 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Huh? The Doctor’s most terrifying enemy? Is it this big iron can?" ]

[ Busujima Saeko (High School of the Dead): "This kind of enemy has a minimalist beauty?" ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "So ugly." ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "The round ball next to it is already dented..." ]

[ Oyama Mihari: "Since the Doctor is so powerful, perhaps this big iron can has other abilities?" ]

[ .....]

『 In the screen, the chained entity was the Doctor’s arch-enemy—the Dalek.

Back in the day, the Time War took place between their two races.

It was quite astonishing that such a ferocious race still had survivors in the world.

Seeing this, the Doctor panicked and wanted to leave.

However, at this moment, the Dalek’s energy source was depleted.

For the Doctor, this meant the opponent had temporarily lost all threatening power.

And after confirming that his nemesis posed no threat, the Doctor’s emotions suddenly became agitated.

He couldn’t help but taunt the Dalek... 』
