Apocalypse: Nine Choices, Four Picks—Starting with the Fusion of the Twelve Talismans!

While browsing an online forum, Meng Chen encounters a hypothetical scenario: if transported to a post-apocalyptic world, which four abilities would he choose from a list of nine? The options include a beautiful doctor, twin sisters, the Twelve Talismans, one hundred thousand death warriors, a Devil Fruit, a spiritual spring space, an AK-47 with infinite ammunition, a floating island, and universal medicine. Facing this seemingly difficult choice, Meng Chen decisively selects the Twelve Talismans, the Devil Fruit, the spiritual spring space, and the floating island. He assumes it is merely an internet discussion, but reality shifts when he is abruptly transported to a parallel version of Earth just as the apocalypse begins. To his astonishment, all four of his chosen benefits manifest in this new world. While other survivors struggle to awaken basic abilities and scavenge for resources, Meng Chen has already fused with the Twelve Talismans, granting him immortality and boundless divine strength. With the spiritual spring space at his command, he never worries about food or water, unlike those fighting for survival around him. His floating island emerges in the sky, becoming a coveted sanctuary that desperate survivors would give anything to enter. When catastrophic beast tides sweep across the globe, Meng Chen activates his Golden Dragon form, wielding the power of metal and destruction. With overwhelming dragon might, he suppresses billions of mutated beasts and rises to rule the end times under the name of Shendu.
