Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

This customary rule is an important reason for maintaining the current stability of the galaxy.

However, stability is only relative at the level of the entire galaxy. For ordinary people, the "petty fights" between major forces can easily destroy an entire planet, and they don't even have the right to know how they died.

Ash had no intention of forcing ScrewGum to side with him. The latter could leave at any time before reaching the bottom line.

What he was interested in was the financial resources and technology of ScrewGum, and according to Black Tower, there were a large number of mechanical legions on Screw Star, and those mechanical life forms created by ScrewGum possessed extremely powerful combat capabilities.

What Ash lacks most now is a large-scale legion of thermal weapons. The construction of the mortal army is still a long way to go, while the mechanical legion has flexible combat conditions in all aspects, and some can even fly while fighting.

As for what he can provide to ScrewGum in this deal... well, the secret of his existence itself is the greatest 'value', and letting ScrewGum participate in the experiment of exploring the source of power is actually the condition of the deal.

You know, there are countless geniuses queuing up to contact Black Tower, but because Black Tower and Ruan Mei got there first, other geniuses can't intervene.

After all, Ash is not a small fry. After his record of defeating three emissaries alone spread, most people in the Genius Club still had to think twice.

However, that group of people are all crazy in a sense. The only way to ensure that they don't do anything wrong is to keep increasing the number of cards you have.

"Have you reached an agreement?"

At this time, Heita turned around and said, "If the deal is settled, then let's get started. I can't wait any longer."

"It was a pleasant experience to talk to Lord Ash," ScrewGum said calmly. "He had clear needs and a perfect sense of proportion. Our cooperation went smoothly."

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here... By the way, Ash, I want to go into this simulation with you."

"Together?" Ash said with a strange expression, "Are you sure?"

"Sure, I've actually been wanting to do this for a while now, but it's easy to get into trouble if there's no one outside to help. Now that I have ScrewGum here, I don't have to worry so much."

"You know it's easy to go wrong. Are you sure you won't blow up the space station this time?"

Ash thought that Heita would say 'Don't worry, she definitely won't', but she hesitated and even thought seriously about it.

Then he looked at ScrewGum, who spread his hands to indicate that he would try his best.

Very good, the two geniuses are unsure, this is everything I want.

However, Ash actually wanted to take this opportunity to verify it. He had seen the old Dragon King several times through the mark, but he was not sure whether the latter was in the Star Iron World.

Theoretically, it doesn't exist. If only the mark can open this link, Ash even wondered if there was any way to "actively" trigger it and summon the power of the old dragon king at the critical moment.

This may determine whether he walks horizontally or vertically in the galaxy next.

"Okay, let's get started."

The parameters have been adjusted, and Ash and Heita enter the simulated universe together.

...

【Simulated universe starts.】

You came to a starry sky and met a masked man. He greeted you with a smile.

[Black Tower: Just how close are you and Aha? Why is He always there?]

[Ash: Our relationship is just okay. He didn't help me last time.]

[Black Tower: How strange! Your identity in the simulated universe is unknown, yet He completely accepts it.]

【Ash: After all, it's Aha. 】

A masked man gives you a Rubik's Cube, and the pattern on the cube changes based on your experiences. When it's restored, you'll win the Galaxy Lotto.

[Black Tower:? 】

【Ash: Ahahahaha.】

[Masked Man: My friend, I really want to open my arms and hug you, but unfortunately I don’t have arms. After all, I am just a false god imprisoned in a machine!]

He seems to be both crying and laughing, then tells you that He is leaving, going to a higher place to look down. You say goodbye to Him and arrive at a planet made up of accumulated data, and the vast amount of information shocks you.

[Due to the protection of some force, you were not affected.]

【Black Tower: Hmm.】

【Ash: What's wrong? 】

[Black Tower: The power of the Life Sand only protects you... These things should be intellectual, a bunch of annoying fluff balls, why are they left here?]

[ScrewGum: Black Tower, you forgot that this simulation is centered around Lord Ash.]

[Black Tower: Oh right, so this data is yours?]

【Ash: spread his hands.jpg】

[ScrewGum: This is 'knowledge' that even the intellect cannot comprehend. It's a garbled mess. It must be related to that power.]

[Black Tower: What are you waiting for? It's almost cracked.]

[ScrewGum: I performed the analysis, but it failed. One of the computing machines was nearly paralyzed.]

[Black Tower: Failed again?]

[ScrewGum: Not entirely. Can you sense it, Master Ash?]

【Ash: I guess so. I can understand the message inside.】

[Black Tower: Are you kidding? This rotten shit is actually readable?]

[ScrewGum: It seems the presentation is just different. The equations compiled by the simulated universe cannot be decoded. Perhaps there are areas unknown to the current world.]

[Black Tower: I've already said this... So, what's inside?]

【Yash: Postpartum care for newborn babies.】

[Black Tower:? 】

Ash was not lying, this was indeed newborn care, but not for humans, but for stars.

This is the knowledge related to the creation of celestial bodies!

He didn't expect that the simulated universe could even analyze this, but he didn't intend to tell Black Tower and Screw Gum the content of this information. It was also good to let these geniuses think about it themselves.

You ignored the message on the planet and came to a garden, where you met a gardener tending to it.

[Black Tower: What gardener? Isn't this abundance? What's going on? Is it so easy to encounter a Star God?]

[ScrewGum: To be precise, it's very difficult for ordinary people to encounter Star Gods. Perhaps while their followers were fighting fiercely, the Star Gods were drinking coffee.]

Thinking from this perspective, ScrewGum came to a frightening conclusion - these star gods regarded Ash as of the same level?

【The gardener steps forward and greets you.】

[Gardener: 'Hello, friend, you and your servants are free to explore the garden.']

[Black Tower: ...]

You accepted the gardener's kindness and spent a pleasant afternoon tea in the garden. Before leaving, the gardener gave you a yellow peony.

【Black Tower: Hmm...】

【ScrewGum: Hmm...】

【Ash: What's wrong? 】

[Black Tower: ...Nothing, continue.]

You leave the garden and enter a space filled with mechanical gears. The owner of the gear space invites you to stay and offers to play a little game with you.

[Black Tower: Mechanical head?!]

What is the master of the gear space? Isn’t this intelligence?

[Black Tower: Ash, here I come! ]

[The Black Tower is playing a game with the owner of the Gear Space.]

【The Black Tower lost.】

【ScrewGum: Total defeat.】

[The owner of the gear space is very happy and gave you a screw with a strange shape.]

[Black Tower: Screw Gum, your brother is here.]

【ScrewGum:...】

Heita was in a very good state of mind, one could even say she was in a very good mood. Being able to meet Boshizun, even if it was in a simulated universe, this battle between man and god was enough to make her happy for a while.

Although the simulation is a virtual world, the status of each existence in the simulated universe will not change because of the virtual world, which means that if it were encountered in reality, the same thing could happen.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Ash can achieve the identity set in the simulated universe, and also happen to meet Boshizun? The Black Tower can only be said to be too difficult.

Next, the two encountered destruction, reproduction, preservation, immortality, development, and even hunting in their simulations. The data and information fluctuations caused by the appearance of so many star gods would make Black Tower feel fortunate that he brought Screw Gum in this time. Otherwise, according to the previous simulation environment, the system would have been overloaded and crashed.

[Black Tower: Screw Gum, how much computing power capacity is left in the system?]

[ScrewGum: 70% left. There's a lot of redundant information, so I've simply processed it.]

[Black Tower: That's good. You really get what you pay for.]

[ScrewGum: A friendly reminder, Ms. Black Tower, this isn't a penny. You've incurred a debt of half an Amber Age for building this simulation environment.]

[Heita: You don't need to remind me, I can still afford to pay this little bit of money back.]

【Yash: Are you so poor that you have to take out a loan?】

[Black Tower: Do you think those warships on Yalilo VI are made of sand? You've drained all my money, bastard.]

[Ash: I'll take over the company's market and compensate you with a few simulated universes.]

[Black Tower: Do you think the simulated universe will always explode? I never had one before you came, and this simulation environment is already top-notch, there won't be any problems.]

Heita is not worried. With so many properties under her name, wouldn't it be easy to repay this debt?

Ultimately, it was just a cash flow problem, all Ash's fault. The simulation had blown up, and she was being asked to buy all sorts of interstellar battleships. Why was sand sold by the pound? Damn it, yet she still ran to buy it.

She then asked Ash to use the life sand to make a planet, and she packed it in bags and sold it to those geniuses, one bag for 100 million!

genius!

As he was speaking, the simulation continued to move forward, and Black Tower felt that the critical moment had arrived.

You enter a magical place, filled with countless celestial bodies: planets, stars, and even galaxies. These celestial bodies are very young, and you feel the pull of some kind of force from them.

You arrive at a planet where humans appear and develop civilization. Then war breaks out between humans. Someone uses ancient technology to create a solar disk, which they use to harness the power of the sun to create ascenders.

"Merciful ■■■■, please lend your power to your pious people!"

[ScrewGum: Black Tower, Master Ash, the simulation environment is starting to become chaotic, please be careful.]

It was the first time that Heita heard that name, but it was vague. Her intuition told her that it was the source of all power!

Compared to the Black Tower and Screw Gum, Ash could clearly hear the prayers of those people, and hear every word clearly. Then he found that a power gathered on this planet and flowed into his body - faith.

"Are they talking to me?"

"So in the simulated universe, my existence is equivalent to that of the old Dragon King?"

It is impossible to record the information of the Star-Forging Dragon King in the simulated universe. Ash is sure of this. After all, it is simply made out of nothing.

But because his existence serves as a medium, equivalent to a projection of the old Dragon King in the simulated universe, all faith is concentrated on him.

Ash was surprised to find that not only on this planet, but also in this area of stars and even in the galaxy, the power of faith continued to converge towards him as time passed.

Then the mark lit up, and driven by the power of faith, the mark scale began to move forward.

"Is this okay?"

Ash didn't know how big this space was or how many trillions of people were in it, but he felt that the mark scale was increasing very quickly, even faster than the transformation when it swallowed the black tide.

Ash's eyes lit up.

He seemed to have found a way to quickly improve his strength.

[Black Tower: Screw Gum, how is the operation space?]

[ScrewGum: It's increasing, but it hasn't exceeded 50%. This scene is a bit strange. The calculation equation is being analyzed.]

Tick-tick-tick-tick...

The mark scale moved like a clock hand. Ash ignored Black Tower and Screw Gumm, and his attention was now focused on the mark.

Those fragments of information told him that there was no Star-Forging Dragon King in the Star Iron World, but it was possible to activate the power of the old Dragon King through the mark.

Because the essence of upgrading the mark scale is to allow Ash to use this power. When it is unlocked to the highest level, he may even become the isomorph of the old Dragon King in the Star Iron World.

Another Dragon King, but not old.
