Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Fortunately, just as Pantalone was about to issue a death certificate to the "Doctor," a figure suddenly appeared from above, startling him so much that he almost mistook it for a large black rat.

But once he looked closely, he immediately realized what this suddenly appearing figure was.

A head of slightly curly, blue-green hair, which looked relatively neat and out of place compared to the messy room, was a stark contrast to the surroundings. He wore a silver-gray executive coat and a mask that covered his eyes.

It was the "Doctor" Doutore he had been searching for.

Dotorepantarone's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the way Dotorepantarone was dressed.

"What...are you doing?"

"Don't worry, my friend, it's just a little accident."

After tidying up his appearance, the "Doctor" smiled slightly, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

"There was just a small explosion that occurred while I was researching the new energy, which caused this explosion. But don't worry, this small explosion won't hurt me."

"However, these minor accidents have caused some problems with my research environment. I would appreciate it if you could reimburse me for the repair and replacement costs related to the damage and scrap."

No, no, no, I wasn't talking about that!

Besides, what exactly were you doing? How could you blow up such a large area?!

You have to understand, this is the Winter Palace, not some random place!

Looking at Dotole's nonchalant demeanor, an outsider might think that what he was talking about was indeed nothing serious. However, if one were to delve into the seemingly trivial matter in his words, they would undoubtedly be terrified.

Is it fair to say that all of his executive colleagues are eccentric individuals with this kind of personality?

Or is it that only someone with this kind of personality can become an executive officer?

Instead of delving into such matters, Pantalone began to ask himself the true purpose of his visit.

"Never mind, that kind of thing isn't important. I came here specifically because I heard that you've made progress on the 'Elemental Energy Storage Project'."

"Oh, that? You've come at the perfect time regarding that."

Upon hearing Pantalone's purpose, Dotole became immediately interested.

"I really want to introduce my research findings to you. Well... calling it research findings isn't quite right. To be more precise, after studying the evil eye you sent me, I unexpectedly obtained another byproduct that surprised me even more."

"An unexpected byproduct discovered during the research process?"

Pantalone was taken aback after hearing Dotole's reply.

Isn't the plan to research how to dilute the elemental power usable by attaining enlightenment through 'Light Boundary Power' or to synthesize the seven elemental powers into 'Light Boundary Power'?

How did we start researching byproducts?

Yes, that's right.

Dotole took a deep breath, then spoke with great excitement in a slightly thrilled tone.

"Through my research, I discovered that this byproduct is even more incredible than the 'Light Sphere Power,' which has deeply fascinated me, making me want to further understand and master the full picture of this power."

"This byproduct, obtained by accident, possesses even more incredible properties than 'Light Boundary Power.' It also has similar properties to 'Light Boundary Power,' but it has a wider range of effects."

"This power is more unstable and has a highly infectious nature; moreover, its efficiency far exceeds that of any energy known in the world."

Moreover, I discovered that this power is easier to acquire; in a chaotic and disordered spacetime environment, this power will begin to proliferate wildly.

"And if we use the energy obtained from this byproduct as the basic unit container, the energy it can hold is far greater than we initially imagined."

"The only drawback is that this energy seems to have properties similar to the power of the abyss, which can corrode living beings and turn them into monsters similar to those in the abyss, but in my opinion, this is not a problem."

"This made me realize that if we can control this power, which is even more unstable than the 'Light Element', then we can possess power far greater than elemental power!"

"My friend, do you understand what I mean?"

As he listened to Dotole's endless narration, Pantalone felt as if his mind was a complete mess.

However, he managed to extract a few keywords that he could understand from the doctor's long and rambling narration.

That is, this energy is more effective than 'light boundary force', and if the energy is replaced with this byproduct, their efficiency in obtaining energy can be greatly increased.

Does this mean they can use this unstable but more efficient power as an energy source instead of obtaining 'elemental power'?

Although Pantalone heard the "Doctor" say that this energy was extremely unstable, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Just like how humans know that atomic energy is dangerous, but still study it all the time.

If it can bring higher efficiency, why not use it?

It was just a small risk, and he didn't think it was a big deal.

The only thing that made him feel somewhat uncomfortable was what the "Doctor" said about the energy of this byproduct corroding living beings and turning them into monsters similar to those in the Abyss. This gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.

It was as if he had seen something similar somewhere in a past life, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Is it just my imagination?

Chapter 29 startled me; it turned out to be imaginary internal energy.

Just as Pantalone was wondering where he had seen similar energy before, he suddenly realized something.

What the hell!
