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

"What optimal solution? Ha...? A solution that you've calculated yourself to the point of exhaustion deserves to be called a solution?!"

Screw Gum did not reply to Black Tower's statement.

It's normal to have emotions.

Ultimately, the solution calculated by several geniuses working together was defeated by absolute power.

Anyone would be angry in that situation.

But no one can be blamed. The only one to blame is that everyone underestimated the true strength of the Iron Tomb. Or perhaps Jiang Jiu knew, but he had already prepared for the worst from the beginning.

After a long silence, Black Tower took a deep breath, closed his eyes for two seconds, and when he opened them again, his emotions had been forcibly suppressed, leaving only a trace of exhaustion.

"......never mind."

"Just consider this... a trivial decision made by one genius against another, made without authorization..."

She paused, searching for the right words.

"...I'm not reconciled."

Hei Ta pressed his brow and then waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, Screws, lift the state of emergency, but maintain the highest level of blockade and observation of the Chaos Zone. All alliance units involved in the operation shall withdraw in batches according to the original plan."

Screw Gum nodded slightly: "The notification has been relayed. Black Tower, it's over. Get some rest."

After cutting off communication with Screw Gum, Black Tower found an excuse to return to his laboratory and spent some time alone.

She entered a command into the supercomputer, which retrieved encrypted data.

This data is a trace left by Jiang Jiu when he overclocked the Emperor's Scepter.

She looked at the data on the screen and chuckled softly.

"You like to calculate, don't you? Fine... then I'll calculate every single step you take."

"Your project is finished, now it's my turn."

"Does being negated by nothingness preclude a redefinition? We shall wait and see..."

Chapter 58 Qualifications to Become a Star God

Snap!

Jiang Jiu abruptly turned off the image in front of him and shivered.

"...Ms. Black Tower, you're out of character, aren't you? Is this reaction appropriate?"

【? 】

[Jiang Jiu, are you a total straight man? What kind of occasion is this? What are you talking about?]

Jiang Jiu shrugged.

"Isn't it strange? As the darling of the mind, why would she do these meaningless things... Hiss... With her abilities, given enough time, she might actually be able to conquer it."

【......？？？】

[It's hopeless.]

I really want to crack open your head and see what's inside.

[Supercomputer?]

Isn't that Screwgoom's head?

[Jiang Jiu, quickly use your clever little brain to figure out why Lady Black Tower cares so much about you. Shouldn't geniuses be uninterested in these trivial matters?]

"Not counting."

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and yawned.

"I'm exhausted. I just saved the world, don't expect me to use a single brain cell now."

Aren't you curious?

[Damn it... I really want to know, can intelligence even glance at me?]

[That scrap metal can't even glance at you, so how about Aha does? Want to join the ranks of the best star god in the entire universe?]

The comments section was filled with all sorts of things.

Jiang Jiu stretched and realized that there seemed to be nothing else to do for the time being, so he chatted for a few minutes.

"I think it might be because she's kind."

【? ? ? 】

What kind of answer is that? Terrible!

Believe it or not.

Jiang Jiu glanced at the scrolling comments and didn't bother to respond anymore.

Why Black Tower cares about herself is not important; what is important is that she has discovered another problem that she can try to overcome.

I just don't know how long it will take to get an answer to this question.

Although it has nothing to do with him anymore.

"Whatever, whatever. Where's the system? The task is done, where's the system?"

[I think they're probably evaluating the data in the background. Oh well, never mind that AI idiot, let's talk some more.]

"What do you want to talk about?"

[Cough cough...]

[Um...we're a little curious about what Lai Gushi's final expression was like.]

[Exactly! Now that you've seen the geniuses' stories, aren't you curious about the big boss's reaction?]

[Please, please, please...we really want to see it!]

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and smiled, "Really want to see?"

Yes, yes, yes!

I really want to!

"Fine, beg me."

Please, please, please, please!!!

Please! I'm incredibly curious! Jiang Jiu, you're the best!

Jiang Jiu: "...?"

Damn it, these viewers are shameless.

Jiang Jiu sighed: "Fine, I'm curious anyway, so let's take a look."

"How would our first genius senior react if he saw the level he had cultivated for so many years wipe out right before his eyes?"

"That must be very interesting, right?"

......

Lycus stood beside the Black Tower and Roosgom, looking at the scepter that had collapsed beyond recognition, his face still bearing that faint smile.

[They're here! Front row seats!]

Why is this old man still laughing? His house exploded!

[Maybe... your threshold for laughter is too high?]

In the scene, Slugum says, "It's over, Lukuergos."

Lai Gushi simply nodded.

"It's over. Another failure."

Black Tower gave him a cold glance and said in a nonchalant tone, "You don't seem surprised at all."

Lai Gushi shook his head.

"Unexpected, surprising, but not the end, but the process."

What part of the process was unexpected?

Black Tower crossed his arms and calmly retorted to Gu Shi: "Is it unexpected that Jiang Jiu's overclocking scepter fused with the Iron Tomb and ended up destroying himself, or is it unexpected to see his own creation being negated by himself?"

"I pity you, Legoth. Your program, which ran for over thirty million lifetimes, was easily obliterated. Hmm... not even a trace was left."

Laigushi: "..."

Lai Gushi sighed.

"I have great regrets regarding Mr. Jiang Jiu."

Black Tower frowned slightly.

But Lycus continued, “The mortal body is connected to the scepter, and he is willing to actively merge with the Iron Tomb and deny himself, even attracting the attention of many star gods.”

"I respect him."

Black Tower remained silent, while Screw Gum shook his head: "Question: Was it all worth it?"

Lai Gushi shook his head: "I don't know how to measure the value of satisfying 'curiosity'."

"In the face of curiosity, all bitter fruits become sweet."

“The price of this value is too heavy,” Screwgoom repeated. “Answer me, is it all worth it?”

Lai Gushi: "I don't care."

Screw Gum: "..."

......

Snap!

Jiang Jiu cut off the video again and said helplessly, "Geniuses are terrifying; they care about nothing but curiosity."

It seems you've insulted yourself as well.
