Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

No one dares to ignore such a threat, and such a threat is imperceptible to anyone until it truly erupts.

Because 'imaginary energy,' as a highly efficient energy source, does not possess the power and characteristics to cause living beings to transform into undead monsters and ghosts before it comes into contact with the power of the void or the light realm.

This meant that no one except those who were the ones who knew the truth knew what kind of conspiracy was hidden beneath this shocking scheme, even if someone sensed the unusual power within 'imaginary energy'.

But when it comes to the absolutely safe 'imaginary energy', no matter how much they doubt it, they can't stop something.

Because this power is absolutely safe and harmless as far as the 'imaginary energy' used as the 'imaginary currency' system is concerned, it was processed before any alteration or interference was made.

No one would be wary of an absolutely 'harmless' power, just as no one would believe that someone could control another person's elemental power, preventing that person from using it.

The same applies to 'imaginary energy', which is absolutely safe and 'harmless', but no one would think of it for an absolutely safe and 'harmless' type of energy.

With just a tiny bit of something added, the originally absolutely safe and harmless energy can be transformed into an incredibly terrifying plague and poison.

Once this plan is completed, then when everyone discovers all of this...

No one, whether god or anything else, can stop this from happening.

What's done is done, there's no going back.

Although Pantalone sometimes deliberately acted stupid in front of him, he knew that this was just a disguise on the part of the man in front of him. He was good at using the disguise of deliberately acting stupid to induce others to give him the information he wanted.

He always manipulated others in this way, making those who disagreed with him deliberately follow his lead.

This has long been demonstrated by that foolish puppet, and by others who thought they could see through him.

The man before him was one of his own kind, and they shared more similarities than any other human being in the world, not even the so-called gods.

He was unmatched in his madness and daring, a fact that everyone had come to understand, and no one doubted that there was anything this man named Pantalone would not dare to do.

Cordotore didn't care about that; he only cared about the resources Pantalone could provide for him.

Undoubtedly, the grand plans Pantalone described did indeed attract him and pique his interest.

While the "Doctor" was pondering the proposals and plans put forward by Pantalone.

When Pantalone saw the "Doctor" deep in thought, he knew that the other man's attention had been diverted by the promise he had made. This made Pantalone realize that Dotoré was not planning to try that plan for the time being.

But this is not enough.

Pantalone understood that he was simply being distracted by the longer-term goals Pantalone had described; it was essentially a delaying tactic, but even that was enough for him.

This plan can be postponed indefinitely, and another plan can be proposed to de-prioritize the insane plan of 'trying to use the power of the abyss to create an undead army'.

Therefore, this plan will change from a short-term research project to a project that requires long-term investment, and the level of attention given to long-term investment projects will not remain very high.

Seeing Dotoré's thoughtful expression, Pantalone suddenly laughed.

"Of course, while I have high hopes for this plan and concept of creating the Scourge Legion, you and I should both know what kind of results this plan will lead to, right?"

“Would you like to do something?”

Dottoré was drawn to Pantalone's words, which sparked a few curious thoughts in him.

Dotole was willing to listen to some of Pantalone's thoughts, as he was a similar person to him.

After keeping everyone in suspense for a moment, Pantalone then took the opportunity to reveal his reasons.

"Know that the lofty ideal and goal of us fools is to rebel against and rewrite the laws of this world, and burning the entire old world is a necessary and essential means to achieve this."

"But before this goal is achieved, even we fools cannot fight against the seven kingdoms on our own. Therefore, we must compromise on some things."

"I do not intend to reject this plan and research project. On the contrary, I believe that the existence of this plan and research project is necessary, and I agree with the idea of ​​creating an undead legion."

"However, such a plan cannot be completed overnight, so we need to make more preparations before that. At least before Teyvat is completely under the control of us Fatui, this plan must not be exposed."

"At the very least, no one other than us should know about this. Otherwise, even we can't guarantee that this won't become another scourge of dark monsters sweeping across the continent, following in the footsteps of 'Gold.'"

You should understand what I mean, right?

Looking at Pantalone's meaningful gaze, Dotole couldn't help but seem thoughtful.

I realized the hidden meaning in Pantalone's words.

He certainly didn't think that Pantalone would be worried or afraid of the implementation of this plan, which might lead to him being the enemy of the world.

In Dottoré's view, every move and seemingly meaningless word of Pantalone was a prelude to his far-reaching plan, a fact he had already demonstrated countless times at past executive meetings.

In his eyes, this person who was like him was someone who was just as arrogant as him. Such a guy who dared to put such crazy things into practice would naturally not be afraid to be at odds with the whole world.

Moreover, the moment they joined the Fatui, they were, in a sense, already standing on the opposite side of the other six nations on the Teyvat continent, and none of them, as Fatui executives, could not understand this.

Therefore, the implication of Pantalone's statement is quite clear: he could never be the kind of person who cares about the continent of Teyvat and worries that creating the Scourge would lead to widespread devastation.

Pantalone said this purely from the perspective of his own vested interests, in case the plan was exposed to everyone in advance.

That will inevitably have an impact on the 'Imaginary Internal Energy Storage Project' and other aspects of the 'Imaginary Currency' system.

This is something Pantalone would absolutely not allow to happen, and similarly, he, who needs the resources and funds provided by Pantalone for his research project, would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

"However, I am not entirely dismissing this plan regarding research on 'imaginary energy' infected individuals. In fact, I have a strong interest and concern about the development and research on the adaptability of 'imaginary energy' infected individuals."

At this point, Pantaloni abruptly changed the subject, shifting the focus from the plan to create an undead army to the topic of infected individuals who gained power and immortality through infection with 'imaginary energy'.

He presented Dotoré with the research project he had previously mentioned to him, which involved screening infected individuals and those with 'imaginary energy' adaptability.

"If you may, you could tell me about the latest developments in the adaptive research on individuals infected with 'imaginary energy'. I am very interested in that."
