Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Looking at Dotole, who was exchanging polite words with unparalleled enthusiasm, an outsider would surely think that the two were undoubtedly best friends.

Although only Pantalone, as the person involved, knew that it was all a lie.

This is nothing more than empty words and acting skills exchanged to appease each other.

Pantalone muttered these thoughts to himself, but he didn't intend to embarrass Dotole with his pleasantries and courtesy, after all, they were still business partners.

So when Pantalone saw the "Doctor" who was greeting him warmly, he also greeted Dotole with polite greetings and small talk.

After the two shook hands, Pantalone got straight to the point.

"My friend, it seems you've made some new discoveries and achievements recently? I'm really looking forward to your latest research, breakthroughs, and progress."

Pantalone said with a smile on his face, looking extremely happy.

Those who didn't know better would have thought Pantalone was genuinely very happy.

In fact, all of this is a lie and a lie; if he could, he wouldn't even want to come.

This is because whenever this happens, it usually means that Doutouré has started some new money-burning project, and as one of the two most money-burning partners of Pantalone, the research of the Doutouré project is even more money-burning than that of Sandone.

This made it so that whenever "Doctor" said that, Pantalone would inevitably lose his composure to some extent, and it was even normal for him to go so far as to burn through all his working capital.

If it weren't for the introduction of the 'imaginary currency' system, which alleviated Pantalone's financial pressure, even with his ownership of the Northern Kingdom Bank, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such a massive expenditure.

Although Pantalone is very wealthy, he simply has too many expenses to cover.

The financial investment required for a single project is not a huge burden for Pantalone, but once each project contributes a little, the accumulated amount is undoubtedly an unimaginable astronomical figure.

In particular, the addition of the funds for the activities of the Fools and government expenditures made the Northern Bank, which was already operating on debt, even more unbearable.

If it weren't for his various adjustments and the influence of the Adventurers' Guild in promoting the Winter token system, it wouldn't have been able to withstand this kind of manipulation.

Every day he would see a huge amount of Mora coming in, and then for some reason it would suddenly disappear.

This forced him to constantly think about how to make more money. If things continued like this, he might as well stop calling himself "Rich Man" Pantalone and start calling himself "Poor Man" Pantalone.

However, given the current trend of burning through money, he felt that within five years at most, he would probably become a truly impoverished person in Pantalone.

After exchanging greetings with Pantalone, Dotole couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Of course, my friend. In fact, my new breakthrough and research results are already right in front of you. You discovered them the moment you entered my lab, didn't you?"

As he spoke, Dottore reached out his hand toward the enormous 'imaginary core' that was floating in the air beside him.

Pantalone's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the enormous 'imaginary core'.

Although he had already anticipated this the moment he entered the laboratory.

But when Dotole frankly admitted that it was his latest research result, he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

Looking at the various radiations of bright red, purple, and dark blue light flashing on the huge 'imaginary furnace core', he realized that there were other forces mixed in with this thing.

At least Pantalone could see from that huge 'imaginary core' device that, in addition to 'light boundary power' and 'imaginary energy', there was even the power of the abyss inside.

If nothing unexpected happens, that dark blue radiation is probably the power of the abyss.

It turns out they really were just messing around with a nuclear reactor. If something were to happen to such a highly compressed energy core, Pantalone could even imagine what would happen.

He knew the concept of 'imaginary internal energy' better than anyone else in the world. It could be said that, apart from "The Doctor," he was the person who understood this energy the most.

As Pantalone admired the enormous 'imaginary core', Dotole explained his research and discoveries to him.

"As is well known, the continent of Teyvat is composed of three worlds."

The world of dragon lizards, representing primal and wild elemental forces, is the Realm of Light.

And the world represented by the abyss, which is the opposite of the realm of light, the realm of nothingness.

There is also the world ruled by the laws of humanity and the heavens above, which is the world we inhabit, the human realm.

"These three worlds constitute the Teyvat continent where we exist, and in the process of my research on 'imaginary inner energy,' I have discovered that this energy has a very strong compatibility with many other energies."

"After incorporating the properties of 'Light Sphere Force,' we obtained a new kind of 'imaginary energy' that is different from the usual 'imaginary internal energy,' but that is not the point I want to make."

"Just as 'Light Sphere Power' can be adapted to 'Imaginary Number Energy', I have discovered that not only 'Light Sphere Power' itself, but also 'Imaginary Number Internal Energy', which is also an abyssal power of the Void Sphere, can be integrated."

"This allowed us to obtain a power that is different from the 'Light Realm Power' itself, enabling us to bypass the influence of the Abyss Curse and successfully master the power of the Void Realm."

"And as you can see, I have successfully mastered the power of the Void Realm."

As Dotole recounted his research and achievements, his expression was one of pride and arrogance.

While explaining his research findings to Pantalone, he took the opportunity to bring up another matter with her.

"In fact, if you have already seen another slice of me, then you should know the research results on that other slice of me. The product of that evil dragon is the manifestation of the power of the void realm controlled by the power of 'imaginary number energy'."

"Based on the dragon's experiment, I have basically mastered the power of the Void Realm quite well, and it's only a matter of time before I put it into practical use."

"And if you remember the effects of the Abyss Curse, then you should be clear about the consequences of the Abyss Curse, and what the outcome would be if one were infected by the power of the Void Realm."

Pantalone naturally understood that the "doctor" was referring to the slice of material that was being tinkered with and studied near Mondstadt.

After learning about the information transmitted through another 'mechanical prosthetic' extension, he realized that it was the product of the evil dragon that the "Doctor" had mentioned. This made him understand why those 'dead soldiers' who were infected and transformed by the dragon's poisonous blood became undead.

He also understood what the other "doctor" had said: the so-called research results caused the mutation in Usa, which led to his transformation into a monster that devours the power of dreams and reality.

The source of that power lies in the manifestation of the void's own power to devour the reality of this world.
