They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 298 The Pure and Beautiful Hand of Absolute Altruism

Danlei's indifference to his creative abilities is seen by others as quite Versailles-like.

However, even if Dr. Zhenli thought Danlei was faking it, he couldn't say anything.

After all, that's a racial talent; it can't be learned.

So, Dr. Truth and that member of the World Seeds Department had a good talk about the technology of life creation.

That member of the World Seeds was clearly the kind of person who was usually introverted and taciturn, but once he started talking, he would talk non-stop.

Therefore, Dan Lei, who couldn't understand most of the content, told the clerk not to spread Ruan Mei's method of creation, said goodbye to Dr. Zhenli, and left.

Danlei had relatively little free time for the next two days.

Because the Black Tower space station is in the final calm before the storm.

Star is still playing the daily strategy game, "Simulated Universe: Gold and Machinery DLC".

Grand Duke of the Underworld has not yet attacked.

Ruan Mei's creations have not yet been born.

So, for the past two days, Danlei has been looking at various guides for Pinocone.

After all, Pinocchio's twelve moments only have a certain understanding of four moments: the golden hour, the hot sand hour, the morning dew hour, and the sun hour.

Needless to say, the golden moment was the one where Danlei spent countless hours in the game, collecting all the origami birds in the first version without even looking at a guide.

Moreover, after obtaining the clock trick, Danlei manipulated the emotions of almost every NPC he could.

Of the remaining three moments, Danlei was only familiar with the Suleda Hot Sands audition venue; he didn't know about the vast fields and taverns inside.

The time of morning dew and the time of the sun are similar to the time of hot sand.

The former only knew part of the interior of the Chaolu Mansion.

The latter only knows a little about Origami University. As for places like the Pinocchio Museum and the First Awakening Library, which are not covered in the game, Danlei has only heard of them by name.

Therefore, Dan Lei, who only knows a tiny fraction of Pinocchio, definitely needs to read a travel guide, even if it's just a tourist guide written by someone who has been to Pinocchio.

For this reason, Danlei specifically sought out March 7th.

Putting aside everything else, this girl is quite adept at finding travel guides online. She knows a lot of seemingly insignificant but information-rich online forums and travel websites.

However, peaceful times always pass.

Soon, the first "storm" hit the Black Tower space station.

Ruan Mei informed Dan Lei that her Pure Beauty Biological Creation Experiment had completed all theoretical and cultivation preparations and had begun cultivation.

Nguyen Mai cultivates organisms extremely quickly; it didn't even take long to hatch the larvae of Taizyuros.

With Ruan Mei's technology, it could probably be completed in a few tens of minutes to conceive a non-Star God larva.

Dan Lei rushed to Ruan Mei's laboratory immediately and found her recording biological data from a large petri dish below on an observation platform protected by multiple layers of security.

At this point, Dan Lei could already see the organisms that Ruan Mei was cultivating.

To be precise, Danlei found it difficult to believe that this thing was a living organism.

Because this thing looks like a huge arm, and it's the left arm.

Furthermore, it is clearly not a physical structure; its entire body is composed of a mirror-like substance.

However, it was this strange arm that Dan Lei instinctively felt was very beautiful.

Danlei can't describe exactly how beautiful it is, but he just thinks it's beautiful.

It has the characteristics of the Gold/Silver Princess of Type-Moon.

That is, it gives people a feeling of beauty from the bottom of their hearts when they look at it.

Based on Dan Lei's understanding, the main reason why the Gold/Silver Princess is that she lacks the adjustment of magic is that, although she is absolutely beautiful, it is impossible for magicians, whose aesthetic sense has long been distorted, to exclaim in admiration.

After all, aesthetics are a very subjective thing, there is no standard, and there are even big differences in aesthetics between men and women.

The same applies to this hand, which is entirely made of mirrors.

Clearly, Ruan Mei's experiment succeeded in achieving pure beauty.

This creature is born with a pure and beautiful power, making people feel beautiful just by looking at it.

Otherwise, Danlei would have to see a psychologist.

After all, how many people would find a mirror hand so beautiful that it defies description?

Of course, the fact that it could affect Danlei's perception proves that this creature is quite powerful, at least it is a creature born with the blessing of pure beauty.

So while Dan Lei found it beautiful, the Zhuxian Sword was already gathering power within him, ready to be unleashed.

Once the broken hand shows any sign of breaking through the petri dish, or if [Nanook] glances over, Danlei will immediately take action.

After all, it wasn't difficult for Dan Lei to ruthlessly destroy flowers. If he was truly affected by the power of Pure Beauty's Destiny and felt reluctant to part with her, he would put on the [Aha] mask, and Dan Lei, whose spirit would instantly become beautiful, would no longer feel this reluctance.

Ruan Mei was also devoid of such emotions. After confirming that the cultivated creature possessed a sufficiently strong Pure Destiny Power, she directly addressed Dan Lei.
"Dan Lei, that child is almost grown up. I will kill it. You prepare to activate the Spirit Binding and Commanding Technique."

Dan Lei was taken aback upon hearing this and asked in surprise.

"Soul-binding and commanding? Ruan Mei, you created this creature so that I could capture its soul?"

In contrast to Dan Lei's surprise, Ruan Mei spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Naturally, when I was studying your current physical condition, I always felt that something was missing."

After analyzing it, I feel that you lack the power of pure beauty.

By harmonizing and balancing, deconstructing purity and beauty, and recreating immortality, you possess both the power of balance and immortality.

What's missing now is a pure beauty.

However, I feel your personality isn't suited to comprehending pure beauty, so creating a sufficiently powerful pure beauty creature, killing it, and then having it bind your spirit would be a good option.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately realized that this was indeed Ruan Mei's idea.

As a genius in the field of creation, Ruan Mei knew better than anyone the price to pay for studying the Star God... but she didn't care.

This indifference isn't just about herself, but about all other lives.

To reiterate, the reason Ruan Mei cares so much about Dan Lei is because Dan Lei is the life she can currently confirm is closest to her goal.

Ruan Mei would do anything to help Dan Lei get closer to his goal.

The fact that he's now using the creatures he created to add abilities to Danlei is already out of consideration for the Black Tower's moral code, which forbids him from indiscriminately killing innocent people.

Otherwise, Ruan Mei would definitely have found a strong enough Lan Jingren and Pure Beauty Knight for Dan Lei to kill.

After Ruan Mei's explanation, Dan Lei was truly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After spending half a day in fear and anxiety, it turned out that Ruan Mei had never intended for this unfortunate new creature to live in the first place.

No wonder she dared to use the data and genes of the Great Lord of Annihilation to create creatures at will.

Danlei was certain that she had planted a flaw in the hand monster's body to ensure that it could be easily killed later.

In any case, physical defects do not affect the soul. Moreover, if you look closely, this arm-like creature has no feet for movement at all.

Although there are many legless creatures in the Star Iron Universe, and even players don't have knees, a completely new creature certainly won't learn to fly using imaginary energy in a short time.

In other words, this thing has almost zero mobility after it is born. Even if the loophole that Ruan Mei buried in its body does not take effect, it is still a pure target.

However, reality doesn't involve so many changes.

Ruan Mei's experiment was based on very precise calculations. When Dan Lei descended to the front of the large petri dish, she killed the hand instantly, before it had fully awakened, at the very beginning of its life.

Dan Lei didn't feel any pity for the death of this hand. After all, this thing wasn't even a humanoid creature, and no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't evoke any empathy from Dan Lei.

Dan Lei then used the Spirit Binding Technique, raising his left hand and uttering a command, "Come."

A pure white soul floated out from the body of that mirrored hand.

Because it is a completely new soul with almost zero self-awareness, Danlei has no pressure at all in capturing it.

After capturing it, Dan Lei didn't hesitate and immediately possessed it to see the effect.

Subsequently, as the spirit possessed him, Danlei's left arm transformed into the Arm of a Mirror.

After sensing the power of this arm, Dan Lei looked puzzled.

Dan Lei's understanding of Chun Mei's fate is very shallow. Although Dan Lei is willing to befriend someone like Yin Zhi, he certainly doesn't want to become like her.

Pure Beauty Knight has extremely high standards for himself.

They stubbornly adhere to a now-extinct code of chivalry, believing that only by forging a flawless body, mind, and spirit can they claim to be worshippers of Idrila.

In Dan Lei's view, there's not much difference between a pure knight and an ascetic, and he has no interest in such behavior of forcing himself to endure hardship.

Therefore, Danlei's understanding of the power of Chunmei's destiny mainly comes from Yinzhi.

Well, Danlei always thought that the power of Pure Beauty was a primary characteristic that enhanced his own strength. After all, Pure Beauty forges heroes, and without the EX buff for hero creation, how could heroes be mass-produced?

However, after obtaining the power of Pure Destiny through this arm, Dan Lei discovered that this power of Pure Destiny was actually highly altruistic.

In other words, this power is more suitable for buffing others and playing a support role.

Of course, it's not impossible to use it on yourself, but the effect is not as good as using it on others.

It can only be said that Silver Branch's various acts of helping others in the universe are indeed fulfilling his destiny, while preaching is merely his personal hobby.

Furthermore, Dan Lei also learned why the Pure Knight used the code of chivalry to treat himself harshly.

The pure and beautiful destiny of this mirror hand possesses a highly self-restraining characteristic.

This characteristic has even evolved into a binding force, binding oneself while also binding others.

Speaking of restraints, Dan Lei suddenly remembered something and took out a large bundle of silk threads that had been stored away for a long time from his food pouch.

These are the very threads that were originally drawn from the cocoon of the young Taizyuros.

With a thought, Dan Lei instantly used his Divine Refinement Techniques combined with Skarakkabaz's reproductive destiny power to refine the tuft of silk threads.

These threads were fused, strengthened, and compressed, eventually becoming a wristband that Dan Lei wore on his left wrist.

Then, Dan Lei raised his pure and beautiful left hand, and silvery-white threads imbued with the power of pure beauty shot out instantly.

The body of the Pure Beauty Hand Monster, which had already died and been discharged from the petri dish, was instantly bound.

With a thought, Dan Lei instantly shredded the seemingly highly defensive hand monster into countless pieces.

At this moment, Ruan Mei also came down from the observation platform. She lifted Dan Lei's left hand and looked at it for a long time before asking...

"How does it feel? This hand's spirit shouldn't have any side effects, right?"

Dan Lei was fairly satisfied with the ability of this weapon, and moreover, it could also coordinate with other spirits.

In an instant, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet appeared on Dan Lei's left arm. This pure and beautiful soul spirit had almost no conflict with other soul spirits when they cooperated, and had extremely strong affinity.

Subsequently, Dan Lei amplified his own life force once again, using the power of pure beauty to activate the energy transfer of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, allowing Ruan Mei to experience the feeling of her life force being super-doubled.

As a genius in the field of creation, Ruan Mei immediately felt the change in her own vitality.

After careful observation, Ruan Mei commented:

"Compared to the intensity of the life force you transferred before, it has increased more than tenfold. Is this the power of this hand, or is it because you have become stronger?"

Dan Lei answered honestly.
"The power of this hand has a greater impact; I don't know about the other Pure Beauty Fate Walkers."

Aside from its abilities to bind, probe, and increase the arm's self-healing capacity (a characteristic of the Abundant Vine), the rest of this hand's abilities are extremely altruistic.

Its way of operating the Pure Destiny ability is very strange. It prioritizes external needs as the only solution and can be described as self-sacrifice.

Therefore, I crafted a simple gauntlet for it. Only by channeling its power into something else can the power of this spirit's pure and beautiful destiny be maximized.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Ruan Mei frowned and said...
"That's not right. Pure and beautiful destiny has the characteristics of restraint and altruism."

But it has nothing to do with absolute altruism.

In principle, those with an abundant destiny are far more altruistic than those with a purely beautiful destiny.

Dan Lei didn't know how to respond to Ruan Mei's words. After all, he really didn't understand pure beauty. He might have beauty in his heart, but most of it was definitely not so beautiful.

Danlei has a clear understanding of his own position. Self-interest is his characteristic, and he will only do altruistic things on the basis of self-interest.

So, despite all these years, Danlei's ability to regenerate severed limbs and recover to an incredibly strong state has made him a remarkable success.

But that is the result of the combination of the power of the destiny of reproduction and the power of the destiny of abundance.

This also includes the fact that Dan Lei's potential as a master of the divine body has been unleashed, and his immortal dragon body possesses super-strong regenerative abilities.

Danlei's Abundant Fate Power has only relied on the healing trait to improve over the years, and in terms of this alone, it has now been overtaken by other Fate traits.

Dan Lei's abundant destiny is now weaker than the protective destiny that surged after he stepped forward to protect the planet; it has become the weakest of all his destinies.

Seeing that Dan Lei couldn't offer any other suggestions, Ruan Mei murmured...

"Strange, where exactly is the problem? Is it the pheromones that provide pure beauty that are problematic? Or is the altruistic property of the Abundant Immortal Vine excessive? Strange, strange."

　The text describing Ruan Mei's disregard for the costs of research comes from her character story, Part 4.
　　All I can say is that I think this genius is biased, even though I see it through a lens of bias.

　　But the more you examine it, the more you can see the madness in her actions.

　　Compared to Screw Gum and Black Tower, Ruan Mei truly belongs to the category of beings who appear calm on the surface but are actually shattered inside.

　　Fortunately, she still has humanity, although this humanity is similar to the positive result of the Berserk EX effect.

　　The reason why this pure and beautiful creation in the article is absolutely altruistic is because it used the romantic factor in the Iron Tomb program, as I have clearly recorded in my writing.

　　The romantic factor leads to self-destruction through extreme altruism.

　　Path: Romance. Driving force: Moderation.

　　Note: High degree of self-restraint, prioritizing external demands as the sole solution.

　　The mutated electrical signals anchor decision-making logic with highly altruistic behavior. During this process, the weight of survival gradually decreases, transforming into self-sacrifice aligned with "pure beauty." It exhibits a strong affinity for other electrical signals.
