Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

"Now that I've confessed everything to you, it means you still have a chance to back out. So, will you refuse my invitation, or choose to join my plan?"

After Pantalone extended an olive branch, it gave Ling Kong a lot to think about.

He never doubted the possibility that Pantalone was lying to him; he could sense from Pantalone's demeanor and the information revealed in his words that it was mostly true.

It is precisely because these things and information are true that he is caught in such a state of hesitation and uncertainty.

After thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, he finally agreed with Pantalone's words and gave his answer.

Although he didn't know what his sister was thinking, he still followed his deepest thoughts.

If it is Ying, then her plan must have her own reasons, right?

Since that's the case, then there's nothing to doubt.

Setting aside all other distractions and thoughts, he chose to trust the outcome and plan arranged by his sister. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Pantalone and replied in this way.

"No need. Since I have already agreed to join the Fatui, I will not go back on my word."

"Whether it's your plans or other purposes, I will agree to help accomplish those things and anything else you ask me to do, including the power of 'imaginary numbers' themselves."

"No matter what it is, I will do it."

Seeing the resolute look in Kong's eyes as he gave his reply, Pantalone couldn't help but smile, as if he had seen the satisfactory answer he wanted.

Upon receiving this reply, Pantalone immediately stepped aside and addressed Kong in the same manner.

"Then let's continue according to the original plan. Let's start from here... to restore your sealed and lost power."

Chapter 179 Under the Command of the Noble Ice Queen (4k)

"This is... the power from 'imaginary numbers'."

Feeling the power filling the emptiness in his heart, and under the influence of the power of 'imaginary number', he once again rediscovered the power that had been sealed by a strange god.

Under the power of 'imaginary number', not only was that power regained, but it was even further enhanced.

Because of the technology Pantarone used, the 'imaginary energy' that helped him regain his power was not the kind of 'imaginary energy' he knew in the conventional sense.

Rather, it is a special kind of 'imaginary energy' power obtained by suppressing certain processes using a unique technique exclusive to Pantalone.

Utilizing the unique properties of 'imaginary energy', he combined the power of the seven elemental forces unique to this world into a special product called 'imaginary energy'.

This allows him to not only possess the power he originally had, but also to control the power of the seven native elemental forces that exist in this world.

Even without using the power of 'imaginary numbers', he could still possess power comparable to the gods of this world simply by relying on the power of 'elemental forces' he wielded.

In a sense, given his current state, even if he were to face that unfamiliar deity who had once prevented him and his sister from leaving, he wouldn't be defeated as easily as he was initially.

He could sense that in his current state, he was fully capable of fighting against the strange deity who called himself the maintainer of 'Heavenly Principles'.

Even if it were to be a confrontation like the one in the beginning, in his current state, even if he couldn't win the battle against the god who called himself the Sustainer, he would definitely not let that strange god take away his sister like he did that time.

He didn't know how Pantalone had managed to give him the power he had gained with her help.

Ultimately, he himself is not a scholar in the field of 'imaginary numbers' technology, which may give him some understanding of 'imaginary numbers'.

However, when it comes to the mysteries surrounding the realm of 'imaginary numbers,' he ultimately doesn't even know as much about 'imaginary numbers' as Pantalone does about the subject itself.

However, although he did not know exactly what knowledge and technology Pantalone had used to do this, in any case, Pantalone had indeed restored his power through some method unknown to him.

After taking a deep breath, he looked at Pantalone, the smiling woman who was also his ally in helping him regain his strength.

It is hard to imagine that he, a capitalist and businessman, possesses such incredible expertise and ability in the field of science.

This made him realize that beneath the seemingly ordinary appearance of the man in front of him lay something unknown to others.

In particular, among the things Pantarone showed him, there was even a glimpse of the research and plans he had previously shown him, including technology related to fusing non-human beings to create super-mutant factors.

This made him think about some things, but ultimately, those thoughts and ideas were just his own ideas and guesses, in the face of everything Pantalone had shown.

These were simply not enough to convince him of everything Pantalone had done, even though there were many suspicious aspects to Pantalone's actions; these things still could not serve as conclusive evidence.

This also meant that his thoughts and ideas about Pantalone were ultimately just that—thoughts.

In contrast, the existence of another matter is more worthy of attention.

Just as these thoughts were forming in his mind, Pantalone, who was standing in front of him examining the results and watching his figure, nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, my partner. It seems you have fully regained your former power. How do you feel about having regained your power?"

"Although it was a little uncomfortable and unfamiliar at first, it was fine after getting used to it. But it will probably take a little more time to get used to it completely."

Sora, having adapted to his newfound power, closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, then looked up at Pantalone's figure and gave his honest answer.

Although he was capable of using these powers, he hadn't used them in a long time.

Not to mention that although these powers are roughly the same as the powers he originally possessed, they are still different from the powers he originally possessed.

In addition, he is now much stronger than he was before.

Having grown accustomed to his original power, he needed more time to fully master and utilize this new power before he could fully unleash its potential.

"A period of adjustment? That's the answer I expected. So, would you like to try sparring with me? After all, sometimes, a real match might help you recover faster. Would you like to give it a try?"

After hearing the other party's reply, Pantalone looked thoughtful for a moment, then looked at Kong and smiled gently.
