Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3921 You Need to Pay!
The moment Chimera caught the Rubik's Cube, it lost its sight. Boundless darkness instantly filled its eyes, and it could no longer receive even a ray of light.

But she could hear and feel that the other "Chimeras" seemed very unhappy that she had taken the Rubik's Cube. They were making a lot of noise and then quickly crawling towards her. Some of them were less injured when they fell because someone cushioned their fall, and they simply strode over to her.

Chimera reached for the few remaining spray cans of colored paint on her waist, unscrewed them, and threw them towards a crowd of people by feel. With a "bang," the colorful liquid paint exploded and sprayed, dyeing her kind in various colors.

"Rubik's Cube, Rubik's Cube, Rubik's Cube..." Chimera murmured, gripping the Rubik's Cube tightly with her right hand, as if she wouldn't let go even if her fingers were broken. This was her fate.

However, having no power to resist, she was no match for the onslaught of the "Chimeras." Some Chimeras climbed onto her back and locked their necks, some bit her fingers, making crunching sounds, and some tore at her flesh with their nails.

Gradually, the chimeras were overwhelmed by the "chimeras".

Without a sound, the Chimera's body suddenly disintegrated into neat cubes the size of fingernails. The blood-red cracks in its body looked incredibly horrifying and terrifying, as if everyone was made of flesh and blood blocks.

"The Rubik's Cube is mine..." Chimera's weak voice came through.

boom!
The Mist God pierced through the Clockwork House's architecture. With a burst of near-divine power, the outer buildings, the misty ground, and the magical barrier were all instantly shattered and pushed aside by the immense force, revealing a deep, dark passage leading to the depths. A golden Rubik's Cube was faintly visible at the deepest part.

Call ~
The mist violently poured into the ground, and then the Mist God also fell down. During this process, there were constant sounds of breaking, and the illusory and transparent barrier shattered, unable to stop the Mist God who had already taken more than half a step towards the realm of gods.

Cyrus and Saller exchanged a glance and nodded silently. Cyrus transformed into a streak of crimson light and rushed into the Clockwork House. Part of his body was covered with submissive demons, which transformed into hard demon armor to block the abnormal attack of the deformed cube.

Saler's thigh muscles were beautifully defined, and with each step she took, an explosive shockwave would be generated, causing the misty ground to crack open beneath her feet, as if a beam of light were striking the Clockwork House.

The third princess, looking like a salted fish, stepped back a distance. If she couldn't help, she shouldn't get close and cause trouble.

Isabella no longer cared about her cultivation level, and she no longer had the desire to compete. If she couldn't keep up with everyone, so be it. She could just find a way to distract herself in Ye Lin's mind.

However, she still took out her phone, took a few pictures, and sent them to the family group chat.

The building of Clockwork House seems to have been sealed off by the Mist God. Despite the huge commotion, it didn't alert other places. There were still people coming and going in the nearby buildings, seemingly working overtime.

The Mist God descended into the space of the Rubik's Cube, pointed his finger into the pile of "Chimeras," and the dazzling star characters combined to form a huge star map, which transformed into a new seal and surged towards the Rubik's Cube.

The Chimeras, their faces contorted with hatred, resentment, and howling like frenzied beasts on the verge of death, could only vanish in intense resentment before being overwhelmed by the Mist God's overwhelming power, like shattered bubbles, leaving nothing behind.

Meanwhile, the Clockwork House, which had been broken down into small cubes, was reassembled. The walls, floors, ceilings, and glass... all of them were large, flat pieces, without a single gap, as if they had never been broken down.

Those scholars who were copied by the Rubik's Cube also shattered and became disillusioned one by one.

"I survived? Brave chimera, your luck is indeed not bad."

Chimera happily opened her blind eyes, and her deprived vision gradually returned. As light reflected off the surface, she saw something completely different from what she had seen before.

Everything she saw was being digitized. The paint can she tossed out automatically displayed its detailed volume, weight, composition, spatial proportions, and even the curvature of the dented area...

Upon descending into the underground space, the Mist Goddess automatically displayed her height, weight, the length of each strand of hair, and the direction of the force acting upon her as she floated...

The densely packed data resembled open books, with each page filled with incomprehensible text and mathematical formulas, raining down on the Chimera.

Chimera, who hadn't fainted despite her severe injuries, suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, as if her brain was about to stop functioning.

"What is this..." Chimera's head lolled to the side and she fainted, the blood-stained Rubik's Cube slipping from her hand.

The Mist God's gaze swept across, finding the culprit. The Rubik's Cube automatically flew into her hand, which she gently held in her palm. A twisted power tried to spread, but it was suppressed by the power of a near-god, and covered with a seal of star characters.

He also lifted the unconscious chimera to the ground.

Cyrus and Saler had already rescued the members of the Clockwork House and piled them up haphazardly in an open space. There were hundreds of them, all in a dazed and confused state.

“There are a few people whose situations are rather special, and we shouldn’t act rashly,” Cyrus said.

One of the people's bodies had merged with the wall, their flesh and bricks perfectly blended together, as if they were born as one, with only half a head and an arm sticking out.

Several other people "sank" into the floor, with only their arms and legs sticking out. The rest of their bodies blended perfectly into the floor, making it look like a cement-covered corpse.

It must be due to the Rubik's Cube's ability to rearrange itself that they were fused together with the surrounding material elements.

They are actually still alive, but as the power of the Rubik's Cube is sealed by the Mist God, their life force is rapidly waning.

Faced with this situation, neither Cyrus nor Saler were experts in this area, and they were somewhat at a loss for what to do.

“I can shatter their bodies and then live as demons, their souls remaining unchanged,” Cyrus said.

In another minute or two at most, those people will really die.

"I'll call Ye Lin right away." When the Third Princess saw that there was no movement, she rushed over and had a flash of inspiration. "We can't change the matter's recombination, but Ye Lin definitely can."

"What's going on? There's been an accident in the God Realm, the Mist, and the Clockwork House. Come and help!"

"You're eating chicken breast so late at night? Are you on a diet?"

Demon world.

Ye Lin pressed "Wild Pheasant" Luo Bule against the wall, grabbing a plump chicken breast and devouring it with gusto.

…………

A few seconds after the Third Princess hung up the phone, the portal opened, and Ye Lin and Yi Mi Wu walked out. The moment they stepped out, the Little Witch angrily raised her foot and kicked his thigh.

I was originally going to kick his butt, but due to the height difference, I changed it to kicking his thigh instead.

Imi was wearing a cute cartoon pajama set, with a sleeping cap on her head. She looked sleepy, was wearing slippers, and was holding her favorite naughty rabbit in her arms.

"Are you crazy? Disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night!" Imiwu threw a naughty rabbit at him.

In the dream, the old woman with a sallow complexion was kneeling on the ground washing her feet, asking cautiously as she did so... "Master, how's the water temperature?" "Is my pressure on your feet just right?" "If you want to dry your feet, just wipe them directly on my clothes."

Despite the cursing, once she understood what was happening, Imi quickly retrieved the required number of puppets, linked them to the life force of those people to keep them alive, and then used puppet needles to detach them from the walls and floor. At the same time, she picked out all the flesh and blood that had been broken and fused together by the transforming cube, and used the puppet needles to resew it back to its original form. Even the smallest piece of flesh and drop of blood were stitched back into place. The little witch's puppet needles could sew everything together and dismantle everything; the whole process was effortless.

"It's not free." The little witch put away her puppet needles, indicating that this outpatient treatment would be charged, at a discounted price of one coin.

Mist Goddess nodded slightly. She knew that the Dark Mansion in the Puppet Forest had always had this unspoken rule: to receive treatment from the Little Witch, one had to pay or offer something that satisfied them.

If it's a family group treatment, Imiwu definitely won't charge money; now she's just symbolically asking Clockwork House for a small fee.

Imiwu waved his hand, yawning incessantly, preparing to go back to sleep and see if he could catch up on the dream he had just had. Then, his gaze accidentally fell on the Chimera lying on the ground.

"She has such big breasts."

After leaving a message, Imi went back and collapsed onto her bed.

Ye Lin squatted down and poked the chimera's cheek with his finger.

Isn't this girl Ruiqi's temporary assistant? She's using newspaper to prop up her bed leg and is extremely obsessed with Rubik's Cubes, to the point of being possessed. Judging from her appearance, she's really here to steal a Rubik's Cube.

"A Rubik's Cube!"

Chimera cried out as if in a dream before opening her eyes. She scrambled to her feet and looked around for the Rubik's Cube, completely unaware of the people and things around her.

When the Chimera discovered the Rubik's Cube in the Mist God's hand, it immediately pounced, only to be pressed down by a finger.

"The power of the Rubik's Cube has gone out of control; I'll keep it in safekeeping for now."

The Mist God disappeared with the Rubik's Cube, and the mist that had covered the sky vanished at some unknown time, casting a cool moonlight that illuminated the bewildered Clockwork House.

"My Rubik's Cube..." Chimera was extremely sad. She tried to reach out, but was powerless to stop the Mist God from taking it away. She felt like a helpless husband.

Ye Lin rubbed his forehead, looked at the unwilling Chimera, and said, "Shall I send you back to Ruiqi?"

"Can you send me to the Misty Plateau? I'll kowtow to the Mist God and even be a maid," Chimera muttered.

She knew the Mist Goddess; she had read in the newspapers that the Mist Goddess of the God Realm was a beautiful young girl, a fact that had long been known throughout the three continents.

In the end, he still dragged Chimera back to the Beast Fang Judgment Area.

That night, the Third Princess and Ye Lin transformed into Cyrus's hungry and eager children.

…………

The next day.

The competition area of ​​the Clockwork House was operating normally, and all the scholars seemed to have amnesia, having no recollection of what happened last night.

The buildings torn apart by the Mist God and the ground crushed by Sal have all been restored to their original state. The entire Mist is unaware of the extremely twisted event that occurred here last night.

"Such a thing actually happened with the Rubik's Cube?" The senior professor from the House of Clockwork looked at Camerin, the guardian of the land, and the three princesses with a serious expression.

As the guardian of Chongquan's territory, Camerin was entrusted by the Mist God to resolve the matter of the Transformation Cube, which was also her duty.

The "culprit," Chimera, was also brought in; this matter was neither related to nor unrelated to her.

It's true that Chimera wanted to steal the Rubik's Cube, but the Rubik's Cube going out of control wasn't really her fault; she was just one of the parties involved.

"To be honest," the old professor who had once accompanied Dendel in his experiments paused for a moment, frowned, and slowly said:
“We have never considered using the Rubik's Cube for large-scale experiments, and we have also contacted Gear Workshop and Beast Fang Judgment, and they gave the same answer, that is, they have never proposed using the power of the Rubik's Cube.”

Chimera was the first to raise a question, and quickly said, "But I saw with my own eyes that you were discussing the Rubik's Cube."

Could she be the only one who still has a complete memory of last night? Thinking of this, Chimera smiled and felt very lucky.

The Third Princess and her companions also corroborated the events of the previous night, producing photographs as compelling evidence. The Clockwork House, broken down into grids, resembled a skyscraper built from building blocks.

"Could it be that Lord Mist God deliberately erased their memories?" Camellia thought to herself, but then she looked at Chimera. If it really was Lord Mist God, she shouldn't have been left out.

Cyrus said calmly, "It should be a distortion of thought. The Rubik's Cube has the ability to influence consciousness. It has influenced the high-ranking members of the three major scholar factions, fabricating a cognition that is to be carried out on a large scale."

As for when the Rubik's Cube self-unlocked, that time is unknown, and Clockwork House has no record of it.

Upon learning of Lord Mist God's actions last night, the higher-ups of Clockwork House changed their expressions slightly, feeling a wave of fear. They hadn't expected that the power of the Rubik's Cube had already alarmed Lord Mist God of the White Sea.

Fortunately, with the help of Lord Mist God and the adventurers, otherwise the Clockwork House would have suffered a devastating disaster last night, with hundreds of people likely to have died. This would have been a major event that would have shocked the God Realm, and would have negatively impacted the Inventors' Conference and Mist.

One of the parties involved last night raised another question from a different angle, saying, "Then why did the Rubik's Cube go from influencing our consciousness and fabricating an experiment to actively disintegrating the Clockwork House? Logically speaking, wouldn't it be more reliable to unseal the Rubik's Cube once we take it out of the fog?"

“It might be related to this child; the Rubik’s Cube resonates with her on some level.” Camerin looked at Chimera.

…………

Misty Plateau.

Looking at the sealed Rubik's Cube, plain and unadorned, without any light, the Mist God said, "I vaguely sensed a bit of Yanemer's power from within the Rubik's Cube. Perhaps I can dismantle her."

“Yanemer…” Ye Lin nodded. He knew this name from the music goddess Philbe.

The latter is also an artificial god, currently in charge of music, or rather, sound, in the Mirror Dimension, in Ancient Terra.

　It's uncertain whether the Rubik's Cube actually belongs to Yanemer, but the power attributes are very similar.

　　I've been thinking about how to introduce the mature and sophisticated character of Yannemer, and that's when I came up with this idea.
