Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Jiang Jiu turned his head away, avoiding the gaze of the Black Tower lady.

"What, what reason is there... I want to save you, I'll save you if I want to, is it okay if I think someone like you shouldn't perish so young?"

Hei Ta was amused by Jiang Jiu's reaction.

"Fine, then... why me of all people?"

“Because only you are you.” Jiang Jiu said, quickly changing the subject.

"Alright, alright, the videos from the lab should be almost finished. I... I'll go check the final results, and then we can start manipulating public opinion."

"Black Tower, if you want to continue enjoying the scenery here, then I won't bother you any longer..."

Watching Jiang Jiu flee the platform as if he were escaping.

Black Tower did not immediately follow.

She stood in the center of the platform, turning her head to watch Jiang Jiu's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, feeling somewhat like she was fleeing in panic.

Outside the window, the Milky Way shimmered, a beautiful sight. The stars were reflected in her eyes, yet left no trace.

"Only I am myself..."

She repeated Jiang Jiu's words in a low voice, her tone playful, but her eyes held a hint of curious inquiry.

This statement may sound like a truism at first glance, but Black Tower knows it isn't.

In the fragments of memories she saw, Jiang Jiu had seen her far too many times.

Different timelines, different choices, and different experiences can lead to subtle differences.

But the subtext of Jiang Jiu's words was: no matter which "Black Tower" she is, no matter how different her performance is, she is still herself.

What does that feel like...?

The Black Tower is hard to explain, but it feels very subtle.

And, more importantly, his reaction... was hilarious.

The guy who appeared unusually calm, even somewhat indifferent to death, when facing the Iron Tomb, the Star God, and even the end of the universe in the memory images, was actually... dodging just now?

It wasn't fear, nor disgust, but a kind of embarrassment, a helplessness as if some deep-seated secret had been exposed.

Black Tower's lips unconsciously curved upwards.

The guy who could remain unfazed even in the face of a star god was at a loss for words because of her few words?

The irritability had vanished without a trace, replaced by a strange, intriguing sense of pleasure.

The feeling was like discovering an extremely complex, yet unexpectedly interesting, new subject.

However, when it comes to research topics...

"Let's tentatively title the research topic... 'On the irrational obsession of a specific individual with Lady Black Tower across timelines.'"

After saying that, she sat on the scepter and slowly walked towards the laboratory.

When Estella, who was passing by, saw the Black Tower, she was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Is something making you happy, Ms. Black Tower?"

She paused for a moment before realizing that she had come to report the company's response...?

She instinctively took two steps to catch up, but shook her head helplessly when she realized she couldn't.

"Never mind, I'll just hope Ms. Black Tower sees my message soon..."

......

When Black Tower returned to the laboratory, it was quieter than he had imagined.

The screw quietly went about its business.

Jiang Jiu held a glass of water, staring at the video feed beside him, without saying a word.

In this quiet, somewhat eerie atmosphere, the black swan dared not speak even more.

The black tower scepter struck the ground, producing a crisp sound.

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment, then stopped, continuing with the final integration.

Black Swan turned its head, and Screw Gum stopped what it was doing; both of them looked toward the door.

Black Tower acted as if nothing had happened, walked up to the main control panel, and looked at the screen.

"How's the progress?"

"ended."

Jiang Jiu continued the conversation, raising his hand to transfer the file in his hand to the supercomputer.

Hei Ta looked up at his expression and raised an eyebrow: "Looks like the efficiency is pretty good?"

Jiang Jiu was silent for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled: "Of course, as fellow geniuses, if I still need to deal with these things for a long time, I might as well just quit the Genius Club on the spot."

Black Tower crossed his arms and hummed in agreement.

Jiang Jiu stood up, put down his water glass, and walked to the display screen.

After confirming that everything was normal, he turned to look at the Black Tower: "I'll leave the dissemination and public opinion to you. I will spread this document once in the name of Shi Jin, and I will also have the Star Core Hunters spread it."

"Next... it's time for the main event."

The company has tacitly approved of Black Tower's actions, and it's highly unlikely they will stand idly by once the news spreads.

The Annihilation Lord of the Destruction Faction and the Star Core Hunter of the End Faction both serve as witnesses to this prophecy... All forces, large and small, throughout the universe have no choice but to believe it, or fear it...

As for hunting...

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly. If... if even the Star Hunter God had to intervene in this open hostility, then let's escalate this interstellar war to another level.

The Star Gods are getting involved? Then let the Star Gods wage war against each other.

"Where are you going?"

Hei Ta turned his head to look at Jiang Jiu and asked, puzzled.

"me......"

Jiang Jiu shrugged, his tone devoid of emotion.

"Go 'borrow' some starships and legions from my good colleagues, after all..."

"In a battle of this magnitude, without sufficient combat power, the Immortal Ship won't easily give in, will it?"

"Then I'll be with you..."

"Forget it." Jiang Jiu refused quickly, shaking his head without looking at Black Tower, "Because the scene might be... a bit bloody."

Chapter 118 Either cooperate, or fight first and then cooperate.

Watching Jiang Jiu's figure disappear from the spot, Hei Ta stroked his chin and pondered for a few seconds.

She thought that flustered state would last for a while, but it disappeared in just a short while, which was a real pity.

"Luo Si, what kind of person do you think Jiang Jiu is?"

Upon hearing this question, Luo Sigumu pondered for a moment and objectively commented: "Based on what we know, Lord Jiang Jiu's behavior can be described as extreme. He is willing to do anything to achieve the desired result. As an envoy of wisdom, he prefers the fastest way to achieve the result rather than the optimal solution."

Extreme, ruthless, and unscrupulous...?

Black Tower turned his head to look at Black Swan, who was sitting in the corner trying to minimize his presence.

"Ms. Memory Analyst, what was the strongest emotion you felt when you were exploring Jiang Jiu's memories?"

The black swan was surprised to be poked and sat up straight with a start.

After hearing the question clearly, she thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Emotions...?"

"Aside from the emotions I feel when I'm with you..."

The black swan rested its chin on its hand, recalling the emotions from its memories.

"Fear...self-doubt..."

Black Tower and Screw exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Could this guy have misread his memory? Is he reliable?

"Give up, accept fate...hesitation...anger...despair?"

The black swan almost confused himself.

Huh? What? What is she saying? What kind of negative emotions are these?

Logically speaking, shouldn't someone like him be so confident that he has everything under control? How come all his strong emotional fluctuations are negative?

At first, Heita thought Black Swan might have made a mistake, but after listening, she seemed to understand.

"...Because there was no other way, and we reached a dead end, did we give up and despair?"

Screw Gum had a slightly hard time understanding these emotions.

"In my analysis, Lord Jiang Jiu should be the type who doesn't give up."

“Because this is a strong emotional fluctuation,” Black Swan added hesitantly. “What His Majesty the Screw King said does exist, but the Savior doesn’t care because it’s too ordinary.”

"So these emotions didn't fluctuate much."

......

In a desolate star field far from the Black Tower Space Station, space rippled slightly, and Jiang Jiu's figure stepped out from it.

"What a rare guest!"

As soon as Jiang Jiu arrived, a lazy, slightly teasing female voice rang out.

The ethereal figure slowly emerged from the swirling pale green mist, still maintaining that beautiful yet dangerous humanoid posture.

However... her every move carried a hint of barely perceptible weakness.

It seems this colleague's minor injury from the setback at Xianzhou hasn't healed yet.

She leaned against the throne woven from vines, observing Jiang Jiu, who had come uninvited, with great interest.

"Shi Jin, or rather... Jiang Jiu?"
