Episode 152: The true meaning of the Bad Wolf.
『 However, the Emperor looked confused upon hearing this, and replied:
"Bad Wolf was never part of our plan."
"Bad Wolf is a God of Truth." 』

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "What exactly is this so-called Bad Wolf?" ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "It's not a Dalek conspiracy? Is this Bad Wolf influenced by some other mysterious force?" ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Being constantly around them, is it trying to hint at something? But that person can't state it directly?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "I doubt it. If they had that ability, they wouldn't need to go through so much trouble, right?" ]
[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai): "No, according to our understanding, it shouldn't be this complicated, but that world might be different." ]
[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai): "After all, that world has the concept of time paradoxes. Maybe they can't speak directly, or speaking would cause a paradox." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "..." ]

『 The scene shifts.
In a restaurant,
Rose is having a meal with her boyfriend Mickey and her mother Jessica.
Rose's mind is in turmoil after returning to modern Earth.
She thinks about the Doctor and his companions dying, and how she was helpless to stop it.
Self-reproach weighs on her like a stone, making it hard to breathe.
The thought of Jessica and Mickey's safety only intensifies the torment in her heart, which she cannot quell.
Finally, Rose breaks down, crying as she rushes out of the restaurant.
Meanwhile, on Earth 200 000 years in the future,
The fleet slowly approaches the fifth artificial satellite.
A new round of the Time War is about to begin.
Tens of thousands of Daleks quickly fly out of the spacecraft.
They begin their invasion operation. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "So, so many." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Is this a cosmic-level war? It's terrifying." ]
[ Lumine (Genshin Impact): "Each one of them is that terrifying presence from before, and there are actually this many." ]
[ .....]
『 The scene cuts back to the present.
Rose is startled to find the words "Bad Wolf" constantly appearing.
They are everywhere, omnipresent.
This seems to be a warning,
Perhaps it is the clue to solving everything.
"Bad Wolf,"
"Bad Wolf,"
What is the origin of this "Bad Wolf" that permeates everything?
Rose is completely baffled and quickly rushes back to the TARDIS.
She tells Mickey that there is a powerful force inside the TARDIS—the Time Vortex.
By staring into the Vortex, she can see through all truths.
At that time, she will be able to understand the true meaning of "Bad Wolf," and thus go to save the Doctor...
As her boyfriend, Mickey understands Rose's heart. 』

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "As a Doctor companion, Rose is truly remarkable. She could easily live a safe life on her own, yet she puts in so much effort to save the Doctor." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Exactly! I would also bravely go save the Traveler if she were in danger!" ]
[ Lumine (Genshin Impact): "Although your strength is only a quarter of a wild boar's, so you wouldn't be useful even if you came up, I'm still happy." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Hehehe." ]
[ Kino (Kino's Journey): "That's wonderful, to have a companion like that." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Yes, Rose is a pride of my travels, and also a regret." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "A regret? Does that mean?" ]
[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Perhaps, this is the secret of Bad Wolf." ]
[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "Grandpa, what do you mean?" ]
[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Didn't they say before that Miss Rose already possessed the power of time? Perhaps in the future, she also used some method to create an awareness in her past self—an intention to save the Doctor." ]
[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "And isn't the method Rose is using right now proof of that?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "So, this Bad Wolf isn't actually hinting at the Doctor, but at Rose?" ]
[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Perhaps. That's just my guess." ]
[ .....]
『 Subsequently...
Good guy Mickey decides to help Rose open the TARDIS's secret.
But how could a small car have that much power?
Rose's Mum, who learned about this, also rushes over. She doesn't want her daughter to be in danger again.
Besides, they are all ordinary people,
What can they do against these high-tech devices?
But Rose insists.
If Dad were still here, he would definitely encourage me to try every method I could think of.
After all, the Doctor is someone worth giving our all for.
"But you never even met your Dad," Rose's Mum said, turning her head away faintly.
"No, I did meet Dad," Rose looked earnestly into her Mum's eyes.
"Don't joke around," Rose's Mum still didn't believe it.
"The Doctor took me back to the past before, and I really saw Dad!" Rose sat up, looking directly at her mother.
"Stop messing around!"
Rose looked at her mother, who was full of disbelief, and patiently explained.
On the day of Dad's car accident, there was a blonde girl present.
She held Dad's hand tightly, not letting him leave alone.
Mum was nearby then.
She must have seen that girl.
"That was me! You must have seen me!" Rose cried out to her mother.
Rose's Mum glared at Rose and angrily said:
"Enough!"
"That's what's so great about the Doctor!" Rose shouted loudly at her Mum.
"Enough!"
"Enough!"
As soon as Rose's Mum finished speaking, she resolutely walked out of the TARDIS.
Leaving Rose alone, sitting in the TARDIS, deep in thought. 』

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "That's right, Rose had already accompanied her father until his final moments before." ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "Indeed, the Doctor has changed the fate of many people." ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "So, Rose caring about the Doctor like this is understandable." ]
[ .....]
『 Not long after her Mum left, Rose also began to reflect.
In fact, she had tried every conceivable way to start the console.
Could it be true, as her Mum said, that all her efforts were in vain?
Just then, Rose was surprised to see that her Mum had returned, driving a small crane.
It turned out that her Mum had seriously considered Rose's words.
If Dad were here, he would definitely support Rose in doing these seemingly crazy things.
And this time, driven by the powerful heavy vehicle engine, the TARDIS control panel was successfully pulled open.
A large amount of glittering golden energy burst forth, as if responding to Rose's wish.
In the core of the TARDIS, energy surged into Rose's eyes.
In an instant, the TARDIS doors slammed shut.
Mickey, who had just gotten out of the car, rushed panic-stricken to the TARDIS door, but Rose's Mum and Mickey could only helplessly watch the TARDIS vanish before their eyes. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "What was that golden energy from before?" ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "The TARDIS's golden power—could it be the power of time?" ]
[ Nozomi Tojo (Love Live): "Even if it is the power of time, why did the TARDIS suddenly start itself? Rose couldn't operate it before." ]
[ Fu Xuan (Honkai: Star Rail) (Honkai: Star Rail): "No, after acquiring the TARDIS's power, Rose might be able to operate it." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "..." ]
[ .....]
『 Back 200 000 years in the future,
The Dalek fleet had already surrounded the space station, and swarms of Dalek warriors poured inside, eliminating all remaining resistance fighters.
In a flash, Jack found himself the last person standing in the space station.
He retreated toward the five hundredth floor, firing his cannon at the Daleks in vain.
When the big gun ran out of bullets, Jack resolutely pulled out his pistol and continued shooting.
Regardless of whether it was effective, Jack could only try his best to buy the Doctor time.
Until the very end, with ammunition exhausted, Jack stood tall and proud, facing the Daleks before him.
"Exterminate!" The Dalek stared coldly at Jack, spitting out the word.
"I expected that," Jack opened his arms expansively.
The Dalek didn't waste any more words. A laser beam struck Jack, knocking him against the wall.
With no more resistance, the Daleks continued to close in on the five hundredth floor, where the Doctor was located.
Even now, the Doctor's Delta Wave Emitter was ready, but no one answered his call.
The one arriving was the Doctor's arch-enemy—the Dalek.
The Doctor stared at the enemy before him and issued a warning:
"You need to think clearly about the consequences."
"Once I activate the signal here, all living beings will face destruction."
"I am immortal," the Dalek King whispered.
"Do you want to try it on him?"
"Do you want to see yourself become like me?" The Dalek King slowly said:
"Salute the Doctor, salute the great Destroyer."
"Enough, I'm pressing it!" The Doctor, hearing the Dalek King's sarcastic remarks, lost his patience.
However, the Dalek King still persisted.
"Then prove it to me, Doctor."
"Who are you really? A coward, or a cruel demon?"
The Doctor listened to the Dalek's words, struggling internally.
His finger trembled on the activation device.
The surrounding Daleks followed the King's instructions, waiting calmly.
Waiting for the Doctor to make his final choice.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, the Doctor released the magical box in his hand.
"You're right, I am indeed a coward," the Doctor said, looking like he had finally given up the idea of activating the Delta Wave.
"I always am."
Just when everyone thought the Doctor was an absolute coward,
an inconspicuous line of text suddenly jumped into their sight.
—Note: " After experiencing the Time War, the Doctor vowed never to kill again, even his arch-enemies. " —
In the screen....
The Dalek Emperor spoke disdainfully to the Doctor.
"Humans, the reason you can only be our raw material is entirely that you are too weak."
"What will I do?" the Doctor countered the Dalek Emperor: "Will I become your little Dalek angel?"
"You are a freak," the Dalek Emperor continued.
"Your fate is, Exterminate! (Exterminate!)"
"Perhaps, the time has truly come," the Doctor closed his eyes after saying this.
Waiting for death's arrival.
(I guess the Doctor probably wanted to gamble on that resurrection ability.)
Suddenly, at this critical juncture, a familiar braking sound, too familiar to be ignored, rang out.
In the screen,
The first Dalek to spot the TARDIS slowly materializing immediately dissolved into chaos.
"Warning! The TARDIS has appeared!"
Hearing this, the Doctor immediately turned around and looked back.
He saw the TARDIS slowly revealing its true form.
The blue doors swung wide open, and dazzling golden light spilled out everywhere.
Rose stepped out slowly, one step at a time, radiating gold light.
The Doctor stared at Rose before him, so shocked he fell onto the floor.
"What did you do?!" A terrible premonition surged in the Doctor's heart.
"I looked into the TARDIS, and the TARDIS looked into me," Rose, covered in golden light, said to the Doctor.
"No, you saw the Time Vortex!" the Doctor quickly explained: "Rose, humans shouldn't look at the Time Vortex."
"This creature is truly hateful..." The Dalek leader spoke up at this moment.
Exterminate! The Dalek soldiers, sensing their leader's fury, prepared to attack.
As the Daleks fired their lasers, everyone was afraid to watch further.
But unexpectedly,
Rose merely raised her hand slightly against the Dalek attack, blocking the laser.
And bounced it back.
The Doctor's eyes widened, unable to believe what was happening before him.
Then, Rose said something that made the Doctor's jaw drop.
"I am Bad Wolf."
"I created myself,"
"I scattered this word across all of space and time."
"It was a message that brought me here."
This statement truly shocked everyone.
"No! Rose, you must stop immediately!" The Doctor looked anxiously at Rose: "The entire time vortex is swirling in your mind, you will be burned out!"
"But, I only want to protect you," Rose looked deeply at the Doctor: "Because you are my Doctor."
For a moment, the Doctor didn't know how to respond.
The topic she raised was too heavy; in all his years of traveling, this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
Just then, Rose spoke again.
"I have to save you from that false god."
"Hmph, you cannot hurt me," the Dalek Emperor immediately retorted: "I am eternal and indestructible!"
"Wrong! You are insignificant!" Rose said to the Dalek Emperor, her voice tinged with electricity: "I have clearly observed the truth of the entire universe."
"I also see clearly that every particle of you cannot escape the fate of being utterly pulverized by me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Rose waved her hand, releasing powerful golden energy.
Instantly, the Dalek before her vanished into ashes.
It turned into a piece of golden dust in the universe, completely disappearing.
"Everything shall turn to dust!"
"Everything!"
"Everything, annihilated!"
Under the Doctor's horrified gaze, as Rose raised her arm.
The surrounding Daleks were turned into nothingness one by one by the golden power.
"The Time War is over!"
"I will not die!" The Dalek Emperor still tried to resist.
"I will not die!"
"I will not die!"
Even so, the leader of the Daleks kept repeating that phrase.
But ultimately...
The golden energy finally turned the entire Dalek fleet into a wisp of clear wind in the universe, leaving nothing behind. 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "The Dalek fleet, completely vanished." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "The power of time turned such a large fleet entirely into nothingness." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "So scary," ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "The Daleks, who were so powerful, were once again destroyed in front of Rose," ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Is this the true power of Bad Wolf?" ]
[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "Now, the Daleks should have been completely eliminated, right?" ]
[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "Surely another fleet won't pop out from somewhere." ]
[ Amber (Genshin Impact): "Probably not, right..." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "I hope so too." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "So, that means." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "In the future you experienced, the Daleks have not been completely eliminated." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Perhaps in some corner of time, a single Dalek still exists." ]

『 After the incident, Rose seemed to be continuously releasing energy.
Seeing this, the Doctor quickly told her: "Rose, you've won, stop now! It's time to let go of that energy."
"Doctor, how do I release this?" Rose said painfully, "I want to create life."
As soon as Rose's words fell, Jack, who should have died earlier on the other side, suddenly gasped and woke up.
"No, this is wrong, you cannot control life and death like this!" the Doctor loudly refuted.
"But, I can," Rose stared firmly at the Doctor.
"The sun and the moon."
"Day and night."
"But why are they all hurt?"
"This energy will kill you!" The Doctor looked at Rose sadly: "This is all my fault!" 』
