Xia Ye was also sizing up the Black Tower’s doll.
A delicate and adorable little face, a petite and slender body, a Lolita-style long dress adorned with many small purple lilies, she looked like a loli with no expression or emotions.
But considering that the soul of a being who had lived for hundreds of Amber Epochs resided within this Lolita doll’s body – it seemed to make things even more exciting!
“Can I study your body?”
“......”
It had to be said, Black Tower truly lived up to its name, completely disdainful of beating around the bush, overflowing with the “arrogance” of a genius!
Of course, Xia Ye wasn’t planning to refuse –
“I can, but what are you willing to pay to convince me? I’m pretty expensive!”
“What do you want?”
“This doll, as my toy!”
“Xia Ye!”
March 7th tugged at Xia Ye’s sleeve, this was a Lore Master, you’re being so brazen, what if you anger them –
“Fine!”
Black Tower’s curt reply almost made March 7th faint!
No way, Black Tower just gave away a doll that looked exactly like her childhood self?
And gave it to him as a toy!
Didn’t she care about her dignity as a Lore Master at all?
In Xia Ye’s hands, who knows what kind of mischief he might do to the doll!
“Deal!”
Xia Ye wasn’t actually surprised by Black Tower’s response.
The geniuses of the Genius Club had completely different ways of thinking compared to ordinary people, so-called morals and ethics held no sway over them.
Xia Ye felt like even if he had proposed a one-night stand, there was an 80% chance Black Tower would have agreed!
The concepts of sex, shame, they simply held no meaning for her.
She cared only for truth and knowledge.
Of course, Xia Ye wasn’t so hasty.
He reached out and with a pull, golden Immaterial Energy condensed in front of Black Tower into a “sheet” of paper.
“This is the ability I gained by fusing with the roots of the Immaterial Tree, I call it the Magic Web. Signing a contract and joining the Magic Web, you can upload a specific ability of yours, or download abilities uploaded by other Magic Web members. As for other functions, you can explore them at your leisure. How about it, want to –”
Xia Ye hadn’t finished speaking.
Black Tower’s hand had already pressed onto the Immaterial Contract.
March 7th nudged Dan Heng beside her, whispering a complaint:
“Doesn’t it look like a villain tricking an innocent girl into signing a contract selling herself?”
“......”
Da –!
A light sound emanated from within Black Tower’s doll’s body, those beautiful but cold, beautiful eyes became dull and lifeless, somewhat mechanical:
“Indeed, it’s not an ordinary ability, to actually find my true form through the doll’s connection!”
“Compliments appreciated~”
Xia Ye felt a little regret.
Earlier, he had almost locked onto Black Tower’s true form by tracing upward through Black Tower’s doll’s consciousness network.
But in the end, Black Tower discovered it and severed the connection between the doll and her true form.
Too bad!
Black Tower’s doll blinked.
In that final moment, her true form had believed in Xia Ye’s relationship with the Immaterial Tree!
As a Lore Master, her true form had no resistance to that contract, aside from the Star Gods, nothing else could achieve such a feat!
Even now, her state wasn’t simply severing the connection to her true form, because that would be useless.
The current situation was that her true form had replicated a fragment of her consciousness within this doll’s body, making the doll an independent entity, only then escaping the contract!
The newly formed consciousness of Black Tower’s doll was a little helpless, just now her true form had given her to Xia Ye, meaning she was now his personal toy!
Unlike her true form, she didn’t have the power of a Lore Master, her true form had also separated many forbidden knowledge when she replicated her consciousness –
Forget it, she’d pretend to be a normal doll for now!
“Hey!”
“They’re still fighting over there!”
March 7th was still concerned about the invaded space station:
“Let’s go help!”
“Good~”
Xia Ye just felt a little regret, and hadn’t noticed that the doll he thought was switching into artificial intelligence had already become Black Tower’s independent fragment, he had actually gotten a big bargain this time!
As for when he would find out –
That was hard to say!
Maybe when he was completely absorbed in it!
...
Space station, Artifact Hall.
Kafka and Silver Wolf crushed a group of Void Soldiers, breaking Black Tower’s hidden program, they had found the way to the Star Core space.
“We need to hurry, ordinary Void Soldiers can’t stop the Star Rail Train!”
“Don’t worry Kafka!”
“I specially attracted a lot of elite Void Soldiers and a few Apocalypse Beasts, and modified the defense program, it should buy us a lot of time – huh?”
“What? Did you screw up?”
“Yeah, they’re already at the door!”
“Speed up! According to Elios’s script, we shouldn’t face the Star Rail Train people for now, as for Xia Ye, we can contact him privately~”
“Okay!”
Time goes back a few minutes.
Black Tower’s doll brought Xia Ye and the others to meet Aesta, the space station’s acting station manager.
“Everyone from the Star Rail Train, thank you for lending a hand. However, I still have something to trouble you with –”
Aesta appeared to be a pretty young woman with pink hair, her actions were very steady, she was even more like the master of the space station than Black Tower, who hadn’t shown any nervousness until now.
“During the evacuation, Aran from the Security Department stayed behind in the containment compartment, now the up and down elevators are closed, they must be trapped there. I can’t leave right now, could you please help me search and rescue them?”
“No problem~”
March 7th giggled:
“Aesta, we’re all friends now, we’ll definitely help with this little favor. Don’t worry, we’ll bring Aran back safe and sound!”
“Thank you, March.”
After thanking March 7th, Aesta turned to Xia Ye:
“Mr. Xia Ye, first time meeting, I should have formally introduced myself instead of being so rude and hasty. However, the situation is urgent, once the space station is secure, please allow me to treat you to dinner as an apology!”
“Sure!”
A beautiful girl, and a top-tier rich girl at that, inviting him to dinner, Xia Ye naturally wouldn’t refuse.
However, to be honest, Aesta’s personality was really refreshing, very likable!
“Then we’ll head –”
“Roar—!”
“Bang—!”
Dan Heng’s spear shot out like a dragon, blocking the terrifying claw of an Apocalypse Beast that fell from the sky, Xia Ye casually conjured a miniature mimic black hole to block another one!
“Apocalypse Beast?”
Standing before them was a gigantic Void Soldier in the form of an armored dragon.
This was an anti-star weapon forged by the Antimatter Legion using Twilight Ancient Beast fragments as a base and infused with the resentment of countless corpses –
And it was energy-powered!
To put it bluntly, Xia Ye couldn’t take it down right now!
Although he could borrow Welt’s Simulated Eden ability from the Magic Web, and conjure miniature black holes, but limited by his true form’s strength, this black hole couldn’t compare to a real black hole, not even compared to Welt’s simulated black hole –
He had clearly fused with the roots of the Immaterial Tree, his status was equivalent to a Star God, but he didn’t get equivalent power, the Immaterial Tree was kind of stingy!
Xia Ye grumbled in his heart.
