Xiaoti nodded and said:
"The spacesuit wasn't designed for him, so it might not be able to protect his mind very well, even though he may have broken free from the influence of the Dark Goddess when he entered it."

"But when he is forced to separate from his lover, he may not have the same strength to resist her, and if he also has to watch his lover die before the end of the world, his mental state may be even worse."

"And the darkness in one's heart always gives Karina an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Someone like you might find it hard to understand this, but most people are fragile inside, and there are many things in the cracks of their consciousness that they themselves are unaware of."

"There lie buried the dirtiest thoughts in their hearts, wavering, doubt, hatred, and those thoughts that cannot be seen in the light, not even by them."

"That is the territory of the Goddess of Darkness."

Marne understood what she meant:
"So even though he had broken free from control before entering the spacesuit, he could easily have fallen back into the clutches of the dark goddess, which is why Karina followed suit?"

Xiaoti agreed:
"That's right. Even if a scumbag like the Magician changes a little, the darkness in his heart can never be completely eliminated. It should be said that it is definitely far greater than that of a normal person."

"He is a perfect vessel, so he can be easily corrupted. Once corrupted, the gods can hide in their hearts, since they are originally creatures living in human consciousness."

"However, even if that's all there is to it, Karina might not be able to cross the fault line smoothly, because she is still living in the minds of other humans and will inevitably be affected by those who cannot remember."

"And now she has become a threat to you. The Divine Eye allowed her to pass through the fault line to achieve some prophetic purpose, but she cannot at the same time weaken the problems caused by Karina."

"This means that either the advantages and disadvantages of this matter are inseparable, or she is no longer the Karina I know. Either way, the situation is not particularly good."

"In my opinion, of all the issues you need to worry about, the most uncontrollable one is her. After all, the power of the Cherubim and Heaven is in the open, but she has motives that I don't even know."

"That's why I can't tell you how to deal with her, but it's not like I can't help you..."

She patted Mar and Eng's spacesuit:

"After all, this thing was made by me, and no one knows it better than me. Besides, if you're not prepared, you could easily get tricked by it..."

She paused here, then asked in a somewhat strange tone:

Do you know what this is?

Marx and Engels said honestly:

"It looks like a spacesuit."

“Nonsense,” Xiaoti immediately said, “I mean, do you know why it happened?”

After being reprimanded, Marx and Engels did not try to be clever again, but instead told the truth:
"do not know."

Xiaoti sighed:

"Because we're going to traverse the universe, you idiot, didn't I just say that..."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and she fell into a brief silence once again.

Ma En clearly sensed that something was off. She obviously didn't really think she was stupid, but was using this "reprimand" to set the stage for what she was about to say.

“Anyway, you’re still here.” Xiaoti sighed. “We definitely didn’t succeed in the end.”

Marne couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"So this is..."

Xiaoti raised her hand and pointed to the dark starry sky in the distance. As she moved, the scene in the distance began to distort in front of Ma En, and gradually an extremely huge spaceship appeared.

“It’s all your fault,” Xiaoti suddenly said out of the blue.

Marx and Engels asked, somewhat bewildered:
"is it?"

Xiaoti pointed heavily at the helmet:

"Yes, I did all this because you said you wanted to go home. Well, actually, what you really said was that you hoped to go back and visit someday, but I know that's what you really meant..."

Seemingly realizing she had been a bit too harsh, she softened her tone slightly and continued, feigning nonchalance:

"By the way, you should remember that you're not a local, right?"

This also reminded Marx and Engels.

“I remember having two sets of memories of the world,” he recalled. “One of them corresponds to the world after the rift, but the other has absolutely no origin. You mean…”

Am I an alien?

“You could say that,” Xiaoti agreed. “Or to put it another way, you come from another world, a world that is very similar to ours, but also has many differences.”

"In short, you come from somewhere else, and most things in your world are mysterious to me. We haven't figured out how you got here yet, but that's no longer important."

"Anyway, you can't leave."

As she said this, her tone seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude.

Without hesitation, Marx and Engels asked:
"You don't want me to leave?"

"No!" She raised her fist at Ma En, a little angry. After thinking for a moment, she still punched him hard. Then she said irritably, "What I mean is that you have to stay here now and solve our world's problems before you think about whether you go home or not."

"Besides, you probably can't go back now. Aren't I dead?"

Marx and Engels nodded, and continued to speak the truth:

"That doesn't matter anymore, I don't care about these things now."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoti fell into an eerie silence once again, which made Ma En wonder if he had said something wrong again.

When she spoke again, her tone had become much more serious:
"Forget it, what's the point of talking to you about this now? You're not here anyway, and to you, I'm already dead. These are just meaningless words."

"Let's get back to the main point. If this spacesuit is as I envisioned, conventional methods should be unlikely to cause it any damage. Not only physical attacks, but also energy attacks and even mental attacks would have little effect on it."

"If it were an ordinary dragon, physical attacks might be more effective, but the dragon scales used by astronauts are my special living materials. They are simple creatures that possess the characteristics of dragons but cannot perceive the outside world."

"They have no sense of pain, touch, sight, or hearing, so they don't know what's hitting them, and conventional physical methods are ineffective against them. Simply put, they are virtually impossible to harm."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"This sounds like something dangerous."

Xiaoti said with some pride:
"That's nothing. If I were to modify them to have some kind of ability to reproduce and devour each other, then these things would become dangerous, but I have already eradicated that possibility."

"The characteristics of dragon scales determine that they are not really that dangerous, because if they do not have a complete mental and sensory system, they cannot have any impact on the world."

"This is why dragons are not actually very intelligent, even though they are a very powerful race, and can even be considered a well-known nomadic people in the universe, able to freely travel through the universe to various planets."

"But all of this is built on their stupidity, so they are not that dangerous in the universe. The material I made amplifies this stupidity. This ignorance does give them perfect defensive capabilities, but it also deprives them of their aggression."

"In the end, they are just materials in my hands. What's really powerful is the system that utilizes them."

"Although these dragon scales can isolate external anomalies from the inside of the spacesuit, if you really think about it carefully, these things are actually quite bulky, and you can't keep them running at full speed all the time, otherwise the spacesuit wouldn't be able to add other functions."

"So I created a system in the spacesuit that can draw upon the power of these creatures and selectively allow that power to flow through the clothing, which is also the weakness of the spacesuit."

Marx and Engels said thoughtfully:

"So even though these living dragon scales are perfect materials, putting them into a spacesuit with many functions will inevitably lead to flaws in the overall structure of the spacesuit."

"After all, they are just materials, not the spacesuit itself."

Xiaoti nodded in satisfaction:
"That's right. Actually, there are flaws, but I've made it perfect. Without outside help, it would be impossible to find the problem. But who can blame me for being its designer?"

"The living material I created is a near-liquid species. It can change its state inside a spacesuit according to external editing, and it also needs to be bound by such forces."

“If it were someone else, I might have to design some kind of targeted weapon to attack the protected structural parts, but it’s much simpler for you; you just need to understand how it works.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the air. A very detailed blueprint of a spacesuit appeared on the outside of Ma En's helmet, and the blueprint seemed to change in sync with Xiao Ti's voice.

“Look.” She pointed to the 3D diagram. “The red parts are dragon scales; they’re liquid organisms that flow inside the spacesuit. You can ignore the black parts. The important part is the yellow part…”

"These are the things that control the dragon scales. This orange part is their restraint module. Normally, they are wrapped and protected by the dragon scales. To destroy them, you need a special weapon."

"But now that you see them, they are within your understanding."

Mar and Eng said with some confusion:
"And then what? What do I need to do?"

Xiaoti was taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to ask that question:
"Don't you have mental powers? Just attack it directly."

Marx and Engels did not hide their doubts:
How to attack?

“Oh,” Xiaoti said suddenly, “You haven’t realized it yet, so let me explain. Your mental power is a derivative of your reality distortion power. Do you think this thing is like telekinesis or something?”

"That's somewhat true, but all you need to do to operate mental power is understand and know it. In other words, as long as you know and understand its existence, you can cause damage to it."

"Of course, it's normal for you to mistakenly think this is telekinesis, because it only works within the scope of your understanding and cognition. After all, your primary senses are sight, hearing, and touch."

"So you feel like you can control what you see, and your telekinesis can extend like tentacles to reach other places. This way of using it is actually correct."

"After all, your power can only operate in the way you understand it, but with training, you can now directly sense what you know and understand, and cause damage to it."

"Of course, if such a thing is a self-consistent whole, its accumulated reality base may make such intrusive behavior somewhat difficult, but I considered this possibility from the very beginning of the design."

"Therefore, I designed the entire spacesuit to be very loose, so that it cannot form a whole, and apart from the dragon scales, it does not have strong anti-reality distortion properties."

"After all, reality distortion is a local specialty of ours, and you won't have to worry about it when you get to the universe."

"So as long as you carefully read the documents I provide later and understand how it works, you can directly use your mental power to damage it. I have also designed this part to be quite vulnerable."

"Well, if your mental strength is at the peak of level V, you should be able to finish it in a few minutes."

"If I had to point out a possible problem, it would be that the design of the spacesuit might have been slightly adjusted. This difference might affect your understanding and awareness, but since Divine Eye didn't remind you, it should be fine."

"If there really is a problem, you can find the latest blueprints through other memories. Neither Karina nor the magician can possibly alter my creation. Or, there's an even simpler way..."

"Once you utilize the power of Shenxiao, you will know where you want to destroy."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"That sounds reasonable. I'll take a good look at this blueprint first."

After he finished speaking, he began to read the document with all his heart, and Xiao Ti seemed to be adjusting and explaining in accordance with his gaze, as if it were a natural part of his daily work.

“Perhaps I can think of another way,” she suddenly said.

Marx and Engels didn't realize what was happening:

"what?"

Xiaoti paused for a moment before continuing:
"Look here, the blue parts. These areas are very difficult to destroy, but if you can figure out a way to do it, you can get a relatively complete spacesuit."

"However, although the hardness of reality here is lower than that of the innermost part, it is still difficult to destroy simply. Perhaps you can find a way to trick God Fist into doing this. Once you take it apart, you can reassemble it from the inside."

"Even with your abilities, this is the only way to utilize the spacesuit's effects."

Marne said:

"Then I can use it against other people."

Xiaoti shook her head:

"No, it's not suitable for combat, and the wearer inside will find it difficult to influence the outside world with their own power. For you, it's just a turtle shell. However, you don't need to worry about how to maintain your life."

Marx and Engels asked, puzzled:
"So what am I going to do with it?"

Xiaoti said calmly:
"escape."
