The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

This time, Dekan seemed completely unconcerned about its answer.

He simply used the Painful Pope's authority to move the space portal from the Happy Group to above the Chloeux Mansion.

It then puts it into operation, but doesn't actually start it.

A powerful spatial magic seemed to envelop Chloix's mansion.

It was as if the entire mansion had been designated as the teleportation target, gradually isolating it from the surrounding streets.

At that moment, the Void Gate also felt something was completely different.

It seemed as if he couldn't even connect to the Shadow World anymore! He had even lost the most basic function of teleporting challengers to the Shadow World!

In this predicament, even if it makes the worst-case scenario and risks its life to seek help from the terminal, it will be completely helpless!

It never expected that this human would possess a spatial artifact, and one of extremely high rank!

But what truly terrifies it now is not what this human did.

It was his eyes.

Finally, at this moment.

—It's exactly like the look in the eyes of a bad teacher who forces an innocent student to compromise, then tricks them into his office, locks the door, and turns around!

"What exactly is your structure...?"

"Should it be considered a product of barrier magic, or a magical device possessing intelligence?"

"If I turn you into a familiar, should you be classified as a Void or a Machine? If I make you into a card, should you be classified as a Ghost or a Machine?"

Dekan has already provided the tools needed to make magic cards and repair magic equipment.

It seems the next step is to dismantle the Void Gate.

However, he had no idea that he looked just like Cornelia when she went to the back mountain to pet the cat back then.

In fact, Dekan had long been eager to study the void gate that could lead to the Shadow World.

However, no matter how he tried to analyze the large void gate in Hevenlit Academy, the result was the same as when he analyzed the Perfect Demon King's Tomb—he simply couldn't find a starting point.

But now, suddenly, a wild, small Void Gate has been converted!

It was as if the goddess herself had given him a gift!

Thinking of this, Dekan felt as if he were praying to a deity and expressing gratitude before a meal.

"My Goddess, everything is a gift from you."

"There is plenty of room for communication, understanding and compromise between me and my new partners."

"I will definitely cherish it and restore it."

【? ! 】

reduction?

If you are well, then it's a sunny day; if you're not, then I'll die!

The Void Gate began to tremble again.

At first, it just thought this person was sick, but now it realizes that his condition is more serious than usual!

The fact that this person treated the Void Gate as a pet suggests that he should stay in a psychiatric ward and never come out.

But whether it's a big shot or a fanatic who gets their hands on it, shouldn't they treat it like a treasure?!

For example, it would be incredibly cool to put it in a clan or a church.

But this guy isn't just a criminal gangster and a fanatic, he's also a mad scientist?!

Even superheroes would haile a taxi and run away on the spot if they bumped into him!

You wouldn't hurt your pet, would you?

Finally, the Void Gate asked, feeling a chill run down its spine.

As the saying goes, when faced with two evils, choose the lesser; it no longer cares about any dignity.

"No, no, no, how could that be?"

Dekan shook his head and patted the void gate.

"Although I have extensive experience in magical equipment engineering and have served as a chief physician in a top hospital... if you are willing to cooperate, I think I can reduce a lot of my workload, and you will be relatively safer."

【…】

I've been threatened again.

But the Void Gate felt it had no other choice.

Under the man's coercion.

He kept backing down step by step.

Until they completely lose the last shred of the right to maintain their own dignity.

I'll listen to you...

It was as if it had completely given up the struggle.

Filled with bitterness, he chose to yield to Dekan.

"it is good."

Seeing that it was truly convinced this time, Dekan was also very satisfied.

They finally established a healthy and strong bond between Pokémon and Trainer.

So now it's time to give it a name.

The first thing to do after capturing a familiar is to give it a good name, since you can't keep calling it by the standard name "Gateway to the Void".

"Hmm... It's all black, so we need to choose a name that's similar in color to you and has a beautiful meaning."

Dekan thought for a moment and then said,

"How about I call you Annie from now on? It symbolizes the will of the Anni of the Dark Ninja Village—where cotton flies, life continues!"

Although the Void Gate probably hasn't heard the story of the Shadow Ninja, he'll tell it about it later.

The Gate of the Void trembled violently.

【! ! ! 】

Although it did not understand what the will of "Ni" represented, it only felt an extreme insult that even normal humans could not bear.

Just as a scholar would rather be killed than humiliated, it insisted that Dekan change his name.

This was its very last, very, very stubborn act!

385 The New Member of the Decan Family

"Uh……"

Dekan seemed to have not expected the Void Gate to resist so strongly, and this time he truly felt its determination to die rather than surrender.

Compared to hostility, it only contains sorrow.

Even Dekan couldn't help but feel pity.

After all, the Void Gate's fate is also a fate; it has its own value too!

"Okay, what kind of name do you want?"

Dekan decided to ask the Void Gate for its opinion.

Otherwise, he would appear too autocratic.

[Elegant, rational, and aloof—and must fit my characteristics!]

The Void Gate originally resisted with the determination to die.

Unexpectedly, Dekan showed some understanding this time.

So the Void Gate quickly expressed its demands, sealing off the possibility of Dekan giving it a rustic and nasty name.

Now the problem has fallen on Dekan's side.

I feel like my original brilliant ideas have all been blocked.

He considers himself to be very good at naming his pets.

I originally wanted to name it Little Black, but then I remembered that it already had Little Flower in its previous life.

The term "小" (xiao) for the younger generation is probably outdated; it would be better to use a different generational designation.

Then we must also meet its demands at the same time.

That's a real problem!

Dekan suddenly started pacing back and forth in the living room, chin in hand.

A while passed like this.

"By the way, can you open the critical space at any time? You mean the one that's used when the Shadow World finishes its battle and the results are announced?"

Dekan asked thoughtfully.

【certainly】

Can the ambient temperature be controlled?

【Simple】

"I see..."

Finally, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, Dekan opened his eyes wide and pointed at the Void Gate, saying:

"Then you can call yourself Siemens!"

【? 】

The Void Gate slowly projected a question mark.

The name sounds fine.
