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

Tell her you like her, it'll definitely work. If you do, I'll give you 100 points as a reward.

Trust me, I've been a fan of Lady Black Tower for ten years. Would I ever harm you?

unbelievable.

It makes absolutely no sense.

Nobody would believe you if you just said you liked it, let alone the genius club #83, Black Tower, which is known for its geniuses.

You can speak without thinking when commenting in the live chat.

But he can't do it...

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath, raised his eyes to meet Black Tower's scrutinizing gaze, and spoke calmly but with an unquestionable tone.

“Ms. Black Tower, I don’t need to seek your trust, nor do I need to explain anything to you. As a fellow Envoy, I have no reason to lie to you, do I?”

He paused deliberately for two seconds, revealing an aura of nothingness.

"Even if my words cannot be verified, isn't the threat posed by the Iron Tomb enough to warrant pausing your audience to verify it? With your capabilities, how long would it take you to verify my words?"

"If I'm wrong, you'll only lose some time, but if I'm right..."

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds, his gaze falling on the Black Tower, and he helplessly spread his hands.

"If I'm right, can you bear the consequences?"

Black Tower tilted its head slightly.

Strange statement.

"Why did you do that?" she asked.

The messenger suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started spouting nonsensical words. If he wanted to convince people, he should at least give some reasons.

To be honest, from the Black Tower's perspective, a messenger suddenly appears out of nowhere, inexplicably demanding that you stop what you're doing, without even being able to explain why—it's completely baffling.

That's really quite baffling.

[It's a pity, it's been a long time. You probably can't convince them with just a few words. How can they possibly believe you?]

But isn't she a genius? A genius should...

Because she is a genius.

Geniuses are all arrogant, especially when it comes to the Black Tower.

Jiang Jiu was out of ideas.

"You really don't believe me? It's just a simple verification, nothing difficult at all."

Black Tower gently shook his head: "It seems we should ask this presumptuous guest to leave the Narrow Passage of Fate. Will you leave on your own, or will I ask you to leave?"

"...Wait, Black Tower, you must have encountered some overconfident memory users these past few days, right?"

Hei Ta paused, frowning as he looked at Jiang Jiu.

"It was those greedy Memoirists in the Memoir Court who breached the borders of Onfaros. The Iron Tomb's goal is to merge with the Learned One. If you were at this moment..."

"Do you know how difficult it is to send a message to Bo Shizun?"

Jiang Jiu was startled when his words were interrupted.

"......What?"

The Black Tower closed in one step: "To power the 'Visit System,' I must draw upon the entire space station's energy, then silence it, and restart it afterward."

"Do you know how high the cost is behind all this back and forth?"

Jiang Jiu subconsciously asked, "...How tall?"

The Black Tower fell silent for a moment.

"Money matters are not my responsibility. If you want to know, you can ask Está at the space station."

Jiang Jiu slowly typed out a question mark.

Is that correct?

Could this be the thought process of a genius? He felt he was a little out of his depth.

“None of that matters.” Black Tower coughed lightly to bring the topic back on track. “What matters is that I must see the Venerable Master Boshi. I’ve put in a lot of effort to secure this audience.”

"If you really don't want to leave, you can stay here and witness my conversation with that machine... the Venerable Master Boshi!"

"and many more!!!"

Jiang Jiu tried to stop it, but it seemed too late.

Black Tower had already made preparations. She was only one step away from meeting the Star God. If Jiang Jiu hadn't interrupted, she might have already finished everything by now.

Watching the red light slowly illuminate the void, Jiang Jiu asked the comments with his last glimmer of hope.

"Um... this shouldn't be the last time, right?"

Oh no, we're doomed.

Oh dear, you ignored our well-intentioned advice, and now you've ruined your own chances, haven't you?

"...No, wouldn't it be faster to do it your way?"

【whee.】

[Get out of here! This storyline is ruined. If you don't leave, you might get killed in the process.]

Seriously, is there an exit here?

Look at my Black Tower standing in front of the machine head! Its appearance! Absolutely stunning!

Just as the Black Tower was about to pose its question to the Venerable Master, a violent roar suddenly erupted from one end of the Milky Way.

A planet, like a newly hatched eggshell, broke apart from its center, and from the center of the planet, an unknown creature was slowly born.

Jiang Jiu's pupils contracted.

The Iron Tomb... has been created? What a coincidence!

From the moment it was born, the Iron Tomb locked onto the direction of the erudite monk, as if it had been predetermined to some extent, and arrived in this space in an instant!

Black Tower frowned as he glanced at Jiang Jiu, then had no choice but to confront Iron Tomb.

The other party seemed unable to understand human speech, possessing only some basic instincts, while the learned Venerable... at the moment he led the Iron Tomb into the narrow passage of fate, not only refused to answer the Black Tower's question, but also disappeared from the spot.

Iron Tomb briefly lost its target, but finally... it fixed its gaze on Black Tower.

Chapter 4 is all for fun, right?! (Don't listen to the audiobook in this chapter)

It's hard to imagine whether this was a coincidence or intentional.

Black Tower took a deep breath and raised his hand, intending to send Jiang Jiu out of the narrow passage of fate first.

"Tsk... Black Tower, shouldn't you be thinking about how to escape now?"

Jiang Jiu truly hadn't expected that Black Tower would still have time to care about him at a time like this. Iron Tomb had inexplicably locked onto Black Tower; there was simply no reason behind it...

"The space station is behind us."

Black Tower gripped the scepter in his hand, having no choice but to confront the Iron Tomb directly.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Machine head, what a clever scheme!"

Now that things have come to this, how could Black Tower still not understand the current situation?

Bo Shizun knew from the beginning that Iron Tomb's target was Him, and that Him was the one who led him to meet the Star God and become a sacrifice. Everything was planned in advance by the Machine Head!

How could an ordinary person possibly be a match for the Iron Tomb, which has been nurtured by countless reincarnations, let alone the Black Tower, which is not good at head-on combat?

The messengers of knowledge don't need to fight; all they need to do is turn the unknown into the known, but...

When it came to a real fight, Jiang Jiu discovered that he didn't even have a usable weapon!

He looked around, then picked up a mirror and started hitting the iron tomb with it.

[Holy crap, buddy, are you serious?! Using a mirror like a brick?!]

[The Fourth Mirror: First of all, I haven't offended any of you!]

Jiang Jiu mustered all his strength and smashed the expensive-looking mirror in his hand, which was said to be a favorite of the Black Tower and had its edges inlaid with an unknown metal, over there!

no way!

He has to help, right? He can't just stand by and watch the Black Tower get destroyed, can he? But he has no weapons and isn't very familiar with the power of the Void. How can he help?

The fourth mirror screamed as it was slapped onto Tie Mu's body in Jiang Jiu's hand, and then bounced away without even leaving a scratch.

The Fourth Mirror: "Aaaaaaah!!! I'm going to shatter! I'm going to shatter!! Let me go!!!"

Ugh... It's so noisy...

How can you be so shameless? Using someone as a weapon and then complaining about their noise.

What should we do? It seems like we're outmatched. Should we run away?

"Come, Jiang Jiu, I'll teach you how to use your power to unleash its strongest potential. First, place your hand over your heart."

Jiang Jiu subconsciously placed his hand on his heart: "And then?"

Then loudly and reverently recite the following words: "Key that hides the power of darkness, show me your true power! Sakura, who made a promise with you, commands you: Release the seal!"

"Hidden...wait a minute? What? Who???"

Do you believe me or not?

[What? We kindly told you how to use it, and you don't believe us? Is this all the trust between people? I really misjudged you.]

[Exactly... If you don't trust us, then don't even think about contacting us next time you encounter a problem. We...don't...know.]

Jiang Jiu was dumbfounded.

"Wait... what is all this stuff? The lines are so... cringeworthy... I dare you to listen?"

【Why wouldn't I dare to listen? I not only dare to listen, I also dare to watch! I'll watch while sitting down!】

[Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! This is hilarious! Hahahahaha!!! This is funny!!!]

[Hurry up, do you have any other ideas? You can't really use your abilities much. Besides listening to us, do you have any other choice? Or do you want to just watch the Black Tower die in front of you?]
