Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 199 Lopez Takes Action
"Still life becomes animal, rat, do what you're supposed to do." Cheng Yiyi aimed the rat talisman at Lope's sculpture, and the pattern on the rat talisman glowed. The rat talisman also flew towards Lope.

"What are you doing?" Blake looked at Cheng Yiyi's actions with a puzzled expression, just as puzzled as he was about why she had brought the sculpture along.

"As the sheriff of the place where the talismans are kept, don't you even know what the talismans are for?" Cheng Yiyi said to the flawed Sheriff Black. If it were Wuming here, the energy accumulated from just his吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary) of Black would probably be enough to sweep away the entire Shadow Legion.

"Where am I?" Lope asked in confusion as he was resurrected from the sculpture into a human.

“The modern world is under threat from dark forces, Archmage Lope, we need your help.” Cheng Yiyi’s words drew Lope’s attention.

“Yes, I did indeed sense a dense black aura, a black aura even stronger than that of the Holy Lord. The smell is like rotten food that has been fermenting for ten days, and it’s still so pungent.” Lope glanced at the surrounding shadowy legions and said.

Cheng Yiyi sized up Archmage Lope, whose combat power was at the pinnacle of magic. It was clearly an animated work produced by foreigners; his clothing style was from some unknown ancient dynasty. According to netizens' claims about the original character design, Archmage Lope should be translated as "Liu Bei." What was this? The late emperor's great undertaking was cut short by the need to eliminate evil?
Could it be that he expended too much energy sealing the Holy Lord, thus failing to unify the world? There's still much to explore in this history. If he were Liu Bei, with the fame he gained from sealing the evil dragon Holy Lord, the probability of his Northern Expedition succeeding would be quite high.

As for whether Lope was truly Liu Bei, there was no time to ask that now. Lope had already taken the initiative to clear out the surrounding shadowy troops.

The Shadow Legion's samurai were swift and deadly, each swing accompanied by a thunderous roar as they attacked Lope, who had joined the battle. One of the samurai leaped up and slashed at Lope with his sword.

"Energy Scroll!" Lope quickly unfurled the energy scroll, and the green light collided with the samurai sword, bursting into dazzling sparks that instantly engulfed the surrounding shadowy samurai.

Lope's three most frequently used magic scrolls are: offensive energy scrolls, which have higher attack power and range than dragon talismans, without the risk of overload; and control scrolls that can cast a paralysis spell, similar to a root spell, and can select multiple targets at once.

Furthermore, there's the gravity scroll, which, as the name suggests, controls the gravity of a specific area. It's not that Lope doesn't know other spells, but these three types of magic scrolls are sufficient.

The alien horde twisted and deformed, suddenly stretching out its body in an attempt to entangle Lope. Lope calmly responded, unleashing a beam of light from a magic scroll that scattered the alien soldiers.

Before he could catch his breath, a scorpion pounced, its pincer-like arms swinging, attempting to clamp onto his body. Lope's martial arts skills were also very strong, even surpassing Chen Long's. He nimbly dodged the attack, while simultaneously using a magic scroll to unleash a stun beam, immobilizing the scorpion and then easily dispersing it.

The troll soldier, its steps heavy, swung its massive fist and slammed it down towards Lope. Lope used the power of the Gravity Scroll to toss the troll soldier into the air. Losing its balance mid-air, the troll soldier crashed heavily to the ground, scattering a swarm of shadowy soldiers.

Lope seemed to have discovered that this tactic was very effective, and began to use the troll soldiers as "weapons" to attack other Shadow Legion units. Once the Shadow Legion realized Lope's actions, the troll soldiers immediately stopped approaching him.

The shadowy ninja leaped up, flipped in mid-air, and swung his sword straight at Lope's head.

"Energy Scroll!" Lope quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously unfurling an energy scroll. A beam of green light shot out, killing the shadowy ninja and a group of shadowy soldiers behind him.

“You must have a precise plan, right? Then go ahead. I'll cover the rear.” Lope demonstrated the use of the energy scrolls, a technique they hadn't seen in the storyline. In the story, the energy scrolls Lope used would fire a beam of energy, but this time it had transformed into a continuous laser, wiping out a large group of shadowy soldiers.

The group broke through the opening Lope had created for them. Lope didn't stay put to fight the Shadow Legion; instead, he moved and fought his way along the path Chen Long and his group were advancing. This wasn't Lope's first encounter with the Shadow Legion soldiers; he knew their ability to move through shadows. If he got too far away from Chen Long and his group, the Shadow Legion could simply abandon their pursuit and chase after Chen Long.

"This archmage speaks rather bluntly," Joseph remarked, unaccustomed to Lope's manner of communication.

Cheng Yiyi responded calmly, "Do you think you're Xiaoyu too?"

The purest aura emanating from Tama, along with her identity as a "Saint Seiya," signifies her crucial position within the righteous faction. The beings resurrected using the Rat Talisman—Super Moose, Quetzalcoatl, and Archmage Lope—all showed tenderness towards this little girl.

"Oh dear, this is giving me a headache." The old man felt the increasingly dense black energy in the direction his tracking artifact was pointing, and he immediately felt a headache coming on. It must be that Morty was doing something with the demonic energy of the six demons.

"He truly is the most Morty of all Mortys; every time he turns evil, the commotion he causes is no small feat," Cheng Yiyi couldn't help but remark.

Su Yun, who was watching the live stream, also confirmed that Cheng Yiyi had indeed not continued watching "Rick and Morty" and had not matched this Morty with the most Ricky Rick, thinking that this Morty was the same as the Morty in this Ricky.

The Morty that Rick raised at his most extreme form wasn't the Morty we know today, but rather an evil Morty, a Morty chosen from who-knows-where. It's because Rick's wife and daughter died young; he never had a Morty of his own.

And this Morty has great potential; he is the original Morty of Rick, and can be called the original Morty. Beth from the C137 dimension once complained that Rick, her father, abandoned her for over a decade and then suddenly came back.

In fact, it was the original Rick, also known as Jacket Rick, who abandoned the bass, while the protagonist Rick returned. For over a decade, the protagonist Rick had been tracking down the original Rick, but to no avail. Somewhat disheartened, the protagonist Rick came to the original Rick's dimension and took his place.

Rick and Morty aren't in a positive-negative polarity relationship. Rick needs Morty's brainwaves to mask his own genius brainwaves in order to avoid being located. The more painful Morty's brainwaves are, the better the masking effect. Based on this principle, the Morty Matrix came into being.

In the early part of the story, Rick didn't have much affection for Morty, so we often saw Rick causing Morty pain. The episode where he accessed Morty's memories further revealed many of Morty's painful recollections. This is probably because this Morty is the original Rick's Morty.

Based on Su Yun's observations over this period, the relationship between Rick and Morty has not yet fast-forwarded to the point where Rick is gradually opening his heart to Morty. This means that at this stage, while Rick is pursuing unknown experiences, he still enjoys inflicting pain on Morty.

“Rick certainly won’t just stay locked up like this, watching the plot unfold. We’re not even sure if Rick is still in the cage right now.” Su Yun’s eyes flickered. Rick only streamed for a short while before turning it off, and they didn’t know what was going on on the other end.

So what exactly is Rick targeting in Morty? If it's his body, Rick's actions would be very simple and brutal. Therefore, Rick's target is Morty's mind.

Morty's useless, overly compassionate nature is a mental state that Rick finds unbearable. In many episodes, Rick has used this mental state to torment Morty. It seems this time is similar.
