Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

At that time, Dr. Mobius was unable to completely analyze the cause and nature of the birth of the Honkai beast, but that was partly because the scientific foundation of the previous civilization was too poor, and partly because of lack of time.

If she is given enough time and foundation, Kevin has no doubt that Dr. Mobius can chase a large group of Honkai beasts in the end. She may even consider how to research a more powerful new species.

But even so, the fact that she could perfectly integrate the genes of hundreds of Honkai beasts into Kevin's body was enough to prove her talent and ability.

But at this moment, Kevin did not need anyone to measure and improve on these foundations. He could feel that his body had reached a certain peak state - he could perfectly control his body at this moment, but it was not certain that any accidents would occur.

And perhaps because of the human experiments that Dr. Mobius had conducted on him, Kevin now actually dislikes those things... Although even without those experiences, Kevin would not like it.

At the beginning, it was because the oppression of civilization by the Collapse had reached such a level that they had no choice.

For Kevin now, it is more cost-effective to continue to explore the power of his body instead of trying to crack and master the "Power of the End". After all, even the power of collapse comes entirely from the "End", so why bother chasing after the end?

But to be fair, Kevin couldn't show the power of "The End" directly in front of the Black Tower right now. The trust between them obviously hadn't reached that level yet, and who knew... would this bring about some inexplicable disaster?

Those beings called "Star Gods" can extend their eyes and ears to any corner of the universe at any time. Who can be sure that the being that casts the "Cocoon of the End" has similar abilities?

So far, Kevin has only used the power of "The End" by concentrating it in his body. Although this will limit its influence and power, and increase the burden on his body...it will also allow Kevin to adapt to it faster.

"Of course I know this. After all, if someone suddenly came to me and asked me to cooperate with his research... not only would I not agree, I would also give that guy a kick in the ass to teach him a lesson."

Heita's words were completely merciless. She also knew that this was like shooting herself in the foot, but who could blame the fact?

As he was talking, Heita suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that who would have thought that one day I would become the one asking for help. In the end, I can only resort to this last resort."

These pretentious words really sound like the truth, but if you add the image of Black Tower hugging Kevin's thigh at this moment... then the meaning of it really changes in an instant.

"In that case, then you still..." Kevin had just finished speaking helplessly when he suddenly thought of something and asked Black Tower with a stern look in his eyes, "You already have some reason to convince me, right?"

"All I can say is: I am certain, but not much."

Finally letting go of her hand and standing up again, Heita patted her dusty skirt expressionlessly, and spoke a series of incomprehensible words in a flat tone -

"The one standing in front of you now is the powerful champion candidate 'Black Tower' stationed at the Space Station Victory Paradise of the 'Ether Front' Interstellar Victory Celebration Tournament."

"....?"

This strange remark successfully caused the surrounding atmosphere to fall into an eerie silence. Kevin really didn't know how to respond to the other party. Was he going to add a series of such weird nicknames in front of his name?

Finally, after a long silence, Kevin realized that the puppet seemed to be able to endure it better than he was, so he spoke: "Why...why did you suddenly say that?"

"Ha, who knows why they have to put such a long string of ridiculous prefixes in front of this thing? The Interstellar Peace Company paid for it, so I have no choice but to do it."

Compared with the emotionless words before, Heita's complaint was full of ups and downs - Kevin had every reason to suspect that the words just now were definitely some kind of automatic response mode of the remote puppet.

But what's the use of this? The face is still hers, and it is naturally she who will be embarrassed, not Kevin.

Haha, it's just like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

Chapter 276 You are right, but "Ether Front" is a...

Kevin was about to say that he was not interested in this so-called thing at all, but then he remembered that Black Tower tried to convince him only after he had some confidence, so he finally calmed down and asked: "In that case, what is the "Ether Front" you mentioned?"

He had just asked this question when he saw the black tower puppet in front of him suddenly look cold, and then! Then he began to repeat the words without any emotion...

"You're right, but 'Ether Front' is a universe-class blockbuster cultural brand led by the company's marketing department, jointly developed by Interstellar Internet and Interstellar Peace Films. The game takes place in a fantasy universe called 'Star Dome', where the chosen people will be given the company's most advanced ether copying technology, which can record any creature they have seen in the ether coin."

“You will play a mysterious character named “Dueler”. During your free travel, you will meet ethereal companions with different personalities and unique abilities. Go to various duel paradises with them to defeat powerful enemies and obtain qualification certificates from the guardians. At the same time, you will gradually discover the truth of “Star Victory Celebration”...”

After such a weird description, Kevin was successfully confused about how to respond.

Although this explanation was indeed clear, allowing Kevin to easily obtain the information he wanted from it, but... who on earth wrote such an outrageous copy?

Kevin naturally cast a strange look at Heita, and Ms. Heita obviously didn't want to take the blame. She exited the automatic mode, put her hands in her hands, and said very rationally: "What are you looking at me for? I didn't write this introduction. They added money."

What could she do? Was she desperate? She was ready to refuse, but the company suddenly said that the reward would be doubled. Then she had no choice but to install the automatic reply of this trigger keyword on all the puppets.

Again, how much can dignity be sold for?

"...Then why are you telling me this?"

Kevin finally decided to ask Heita for the real reason. At least for him now, dignity is much more important than money.

“Although I am not very interested in this game, I have to say that its population base in the universe is still very large... Especially for some guys who often run around in the universe, they all like to have more or less contact with it, and even tend to use it as a novel way of socializing.”

Black Tower doesn't even dare to agree with it at all... Just imagine, if one day the universe becomes a place where people have to throw out an ether spirit to communicate as soon as they meet, how terrible it would be?

After a brief pause, Heita continued, "The sole sponsor of this large-scale event called the Interstellar Victory Celebration is named Giovanni... He is a masked fool from the 'End of the World'."

"...Um?"

Obviously, Kevin immediately sensed the most crucial information in it, and Black Tower also realized this and explained to Kevin: "Yes, my relationship with him is fine. Although he inevitably has some of the inherent bad tastes of the Masked Fools, it is not impossible to communicate with him in general."

"Even though they have a bad reputation, those Masked Fools always value promises and agreements... It just so happens that Giovanni is a loyal fan of "Aether Front". If you can beat him in the game, it will be easy to get some intelligence."

Kevin was silent for a moment, and then he quickly figured out the reason why Black Tower said that -

Those masked fools are constantly stirring up trouble everywhere, so the fewer people who know their true faces and identities, the better. That's why they usually wear masks and don't show their true faces... Of course, the God of Joy's iconic red clown mask also has to take some blame.

Since they have decided to conceal their information, it will be difficult for outsiders to find out the true identities and locations of the Masked Fools. Perhaps it will not be easy to enter the "End of the World" tavern.

And if Kevin wanted to know the true information about 'Qianjie, the Masked Fool', it would probably be difficult to achieve without some special means - so in this situation, seeking help from another Masked Fool became the best way.

Although there is a high possibility that the Masked Fools rarely reveal relevant information to each other...but if you just want to contact each other, it will definitely not be a big problem.

This is indeed true. At least up to now, Kevin has no effective foundation in this universe. So if he wants to find someone or get some information, he still has to rely on others.

Sooner or later he would have to find a way to solve this problem, but at least for now, the method proposed by Black Tower seemed to be completely feasible.

"So, what exactly is the 'Ether Front' you mentioned?" After confirming this, Kevin stopped arguing and asked the Black Tower directly.

"It's a very simple literal meaning - it seems that with the help of the guys from the 'Educational Society', the 'Company' has initially analyzed the capabilities of the hackers from Punk Lord and can materialize data into the real world through 'ether printing'. This is the basis of the game 'Ether Front'."

"So the process of this game is to digitize the opponents you have encountered before, and then use them to compete with others."

"And this opponent can be anything - antimatter legions, rift creatures, large robots... even anyone you've fought with. Of course, if they report you for violating their portrait rights, the Ether Spirit you used as the data basis for them will be removed from the shelves."

Heita’s explanation was very clear and understandable, and it made Kevin instantly realize why this game was so popular - who wouldn’t like to show off the powerful opponents they had defeated in order to demonstrate how powerful they were?

This is the same reason why many people like to leave behind some specimens as evidence after hunting.

If the rules are really that simple, Kevin feels that this doesn't seem to be a difficult method for him to complete. He can... give it a try?

Chapter 277 Black Tower: Let Me See Yours

As for the so-called hacker from Punklord, if Kevin remembered correctly, the star core hunter Silver Wolf he met when he just arrived at Luofu Fairy Boat, wasn’t he a hacker?

Even Kevin had to admit that the ability to directly influence reality with data was indeed powerful - although this was just an overwrite based on reality, as long as the ability was sufficient, it seemed not completely impossible to change the way the entire world worked by one's own strength.

This ability is completely different from the deconstruction power of the Ruler of Reason in essence, but it seems to have gone a step further while showing the same characteristics... Of course, the hackers' overwriting ability requires continuous output to maintain, while the Ruler of Reason truly creates the existence of things, which is completely incomparable.

But speaking of the opponents he had faced before... maybe Kevin could reproduce the Honkai beasts and even the Herrschers he had faced in the past in the form of data? Even to this day, Kevin still clearly remembered everything about those enemies.

In this universe, Kevin has not made much achievements so far. I just wonder if Huanlong's extinction lord can count?

Perhaps, the "Company" would be happy to infringe on the portrait rights of the Lord of Extinction?

It’s not possible that the Ether Spirit, who was created against an opponent of this level, couldn’t even make it to the finals, right?

But Black Tower did say after all that this technology uses 'ether printing' to materialize data into ether spirits. Even though these ether spirits do not have the ability to actually affect the real world like hackers, it takes a lot of data and energy just to fully display them.

It is possible to materialize a Zerg that is tens of meters tall like the ones in the simulated universe, but it is difficult to materialize a Zerg that is hundreds of meters tall like Huanlong... Of course, it is not ruled out that the company intends to make it a living signboard?

But then again, Kevin couldn't really make this thing into an etheric spirit and take it out. He had already decided to let Xianzhou help conceal most of the facts, so why expose it now?

So theoretically speaking, he only needs to have a brief understanding of the actual combat power of most Ether Spirits, and then select a few relatively suitable ones from the Honkai Beasts he has faced before.

This way you won't reveal too much, nor will you be too conspicuous... If you can achieve your goal safely, that would naturally be the best.

In any case, the information and suggestions from the Black Tower can indeed provide effective help, but it made Kevin not know how to make a decision for a while.

"Will this process... be slow?" After thinking for a while, Kevin finally decided to learn more about the Interstellar Victory Celebration mentioned by the Black Tower. If it takes several months, then he can directly consider other things first.

After all, even if Kevin had only been in this universe for less than half a month.

"Long? Not really. If I remember correctly, including today, it seems to be only seven days in total?"

It can be seen that Heita is really pure and perfunctory after taking the money. She scratched her head lightly, and then continued to speak confidently: "To be honest, if the time is too long, I will not come here to work part-time, no matter how much money you pay me."

Are you kidding me? How precious is her time? Isn't it better to spend so much time studying things that interest her?

The reason why she accepted this commission was simply because the recent project was really profitable. Although she was completely a frequent grudge, what did she care about?

As long as she is happy!

"Seven days is not a long time... So what should I do now?" Kevin asked directly.

After all, he really didn't understand this kind of game at all, so it would be most convenient and quickest to ask directly to someone who understood it better, right?

"Well... you know what, the Interstellar Peace Company seems to attach great importance to this competition. They have deployed corresponding duel parks on hundreds of developed planets for players from the entire universe who want to participate in the duel to conduct preliminaries."

"Basically, each Duel Paradise has an honorary champion candidate who is invited by the company to be the main attraction. They are either very famous or very strong... As long as he can defeat four or more candidates and obtain the qualification certificate, he can participate in the final."

Just thinking about this project spanning hundreds of planets, you should know how wealthy the Interstellar Peace Company is. After telling all this, Heita paused, then stroked his chin and said softly: "But the venue for this finals is a planet called Yalilo-VI. I haven't heard of it, but it is said that it is a planet that has just escaped from the influence of the star core."

"Perhaps the company set its sights there in order to promote the development of the industry on this emerging planet so that they can make more money... But it must be said that being able to escape after being under the influence of the star core for hundreds of years is a rare case."

How could the Black Tower not be interested in this thing which is called the cancer of all worlds, which has great power but its origin and capabilities are unknown?

She had captured a star core a long time ago and bound it in the space station for research, but as time went by, she could not get any useful results, so she gradually abandoned that thing, and finally it entered the body of the star under the operation of the star core hunter.

Heita was still very curious about this strange "Cancer of All Worlds", but unfortunately she still had no clue. She didn't even know why this object that was obviously a disaster and had infinite energy could coexist perfectly with Xing's body. This didn't make sense at all!

"Yalilo-VI..."

After hearing this familiar name again, Kevin couldn't help but murmur in his heart. It's not that he had never thought that he would have contact with it again, but he didn't expect... it would happen so soon?

"So according to what you said, I just need to use the Ether Spirit to defeat the four champion candidates including you, right?"

Kevin didn't waste any more time thinking about it, but said to the black tower directly: "Can you let me see what form the so-called etheric spirit is in, and...what level has your etheric spirit reached?"

Chapter 278 This Honkai Beast has been smart since childhood

"Well, this is of course easy. Even I have to admit that the technology of this Ether Spirit is quite complete. Although it is not very useful, it is still good to carry it with you and use it at any time."

As he spoke, Heita gently took out three golden coins from his pocket and shook them in front of Kevin: "This thing is called Ether Coin, which is used to store and use Ether Spirit... It looks quite small, doesn't it?"

Heita gently threw the Ether in his hand forward, and the small Ether instantly turned into three creatures of different shapes. The tallest one was four or five meters long.

Not only do they have a sufficient sense of oppression visually, but they can even make people clearly feel the dangerous aura, as if... they are really standing there?

Although from Kevin's perspective, he can clearly distinguish the physical elements around these etheric spirits - for example, although such a huge creature is standing here, the ground under its feet does not bear the corresponding weight... This may be because the company does not yet have the corresponding technical content, of course it is also possible that they are just saving costs?

But just because Kevin could clearly tell the difference doesn't mean that others can do the same. From this aspect alone, this can be considered a very useful product.

"Although I am not very happy to do this meaningless work, as your guide, I am obliged to give you a brief introduction. In order to make the game more interesting, Boring Company added three attributes to the Ether Spirit so that they can restrain each other."

"As you can see, these three Ether Spirits are all based on the Antimatter Legion as a template." Black Tower pointed at the three Ether Spirits one by one and said, "This one has the attribute of humanoid, this one has the attribute of alien, and this one has the attribute of machine... Machines restrain aliens, aliens restrain humans, and humans restrain machines. It's very simple, isn't it?"

Just as Black Tower pointed out, among the three antimatter legion soldiers, one has a distinctly human appearance, one is more animal-like, and the last one has a purely mechanical appearance - this classification is not only extremely comprehensive, but also very easy to distinguish.

With such a mechanism, even a weak Ether Spirit could very well kill the stronger party. Kevin could understand why the company designed it this way. After all, they had to guard against the situation where a person holding a powerful Ether Spirit could kill anyone.

But if that's the case...wouldn't it be difficult for him to simply use Honkai Beast as the Ether Spirit to compete for the championship?

Apart from the alien form of Honkai Beast, the attributes of the machine are easy to deal with, but as for the human form...does he really want to move a Herrscher up there? Will someone with ulterior motives notice something?

This may sound a bit overly sensitive, but Kevin has to bring up some unnecessary considerations...

Just as Kevin was thinking about what kind of opponent he should use to condense his Ether Spirit, the black tower in front of him reminded him, "Okay, now that you understand the basic rules of the game "Ether Front", why don't you go and create an Ether Spirit that belongs to you alone?"

No matter from which aspect, this teaching process seems quite rough, and it doesn't look like serious teaching at all... Wait, could her last sentence also be an automatic response simulated in advance?

Under Kevin's suspicious gaze, the puppet Black Tower showed no expression at all. She simply took Kevin to the "Ether Front" terminal located in the space station and asked him to input the information of the opponents he had faced.

Don't doubt whether someone will make up a fake creature to deceive the organizers. The company's technology is very advanced. Artificial intelligence can easily distinguish whether the creature you describe is likely to exist. It can also determine whether this is an opponent you have faced before based on the description you provided.

Kevin pondered for a moment, and finally decided to temporarily create an etheric spirit of a Honkai beast to try out the effect - since this data had to be sent to the company headquarters, there was no need for him to reveal too much information about himself.

Even if the company has never seen this strange creature called Honkai Beast, the universe is so vast that millions of new species are born every moment. Who can guarantee that they have seen all types?

Not to mention that the data presented by Kevin, who had personally faced these Honkai beasts, was completely impeccable. In just a few minutes, this new Ether Spirit successfully passed the review of the company headquarters and was printed into a coin that fell into Kevin's hands.

"Is this the enemy you once faced? To be able to be printed as an etheric spirit by you, there must be something extraordinary about it, right?"

"Come on, let's go to Duel Paradise and try it out now!"
