Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

Facing fans' questions, Funina adjusted quickly. She placed her fork on the plate gracefully, folded her jade-white legs together, and picked up the teacup again with her fingers wrapped in white silk gloves. Her perfect ladylike demeanor silently told everyone present her calmness and composure.

"Indeed, if Lady Finina still had her divine power, if a god from another world attacked, Lady Finina would definitely be the first to challenge him to a duel."

Finina was sweating profusely when a loud noise from the sky came to her rescue.

"The scene on the screen returned to the space station. Xing was standing in front of Sanyueqi, a look of pain on her face. The intense pain made it difficult for her to bear it, but something in her body was emitting a powerful force, helping her to resist the attack of the Doom Beast."

Chapter 13: Chi Tong: I think he is... very handsome

"This power is very strong... and also very wild, like a wild crested dragon. If I can't establish contact with it in time, I'm afraid I will hurt myself." Xinoning looked at the golden light surrounding Xing.

"After all, this is my first time using the power of the star core, so it's understandable that I'm a bit unfamiliar with it." Mavica smiled beside him. "Just like when I first received the power inherited from the God of Fire, it caused quite a stir the first time as well."

The power within the star began to become difficult to control, and the overflowing impact force even directly blew away the Doomsday Beast in front of it.

In Mondstadt, Klee looked at the stars floating in the air. The little girl was so frightened that she covered her eyes directly, leaving only two thin fingers exposed to look at them secretly.

Kaiya beside him chuckled: "What? Little Keri is afraid to look?"

Little Keli shook her head, her red hat swaying. She drew a simple bouncing bomb on the paper with a crayon and said, "Sister Xing, it's very dangerous now."

"It's like a bomb. It will explode at any moment—bang!" Little Keri made a gesture with her hands open.

Xing's current state reminded Xiao Keri of her bouncing bomb, which was exactly the same and could explode at any time.

“Pah!”

"Suddenly, a crutch touched Xing's forehead, as if breaking something. The surging power in her body instantly calmed down and returned to her body."

"The camera slowly pulls away, revealing a middle-aged man with brown hair. He's wearing an ordinary grey coat and a brown scarf around his neck. His signature glasses make him look reliable and rational, but what draws the eye even more is the cane in his hand."

"Fortunately, the situation was brought under control in time. Uncle Yang calmly adjusted his glasses, leaving only an enigmatic back view to the audience off-camera."

"Uncle Yang, she..." Sanyueqi grabbed the falling star and looked up at Uncle Yang with a worried look on his face.

"It's all right now," Walter Yang said calmly, "Let's talk somewhere else."

-

real world--

"Wow, this uncle looks really reliable!"

"He's the type of wise general who hides his true abilities."

"I feel like if he had taken action earlier, there wouldn't be any chance for the Doomsday Beast."

People instantly remembered this seemingly serious yet strong and steady man. On the other side of the academy, Ji Zi stared blankly at Walter Yang holding the Star of Eden for three seconds, then decisively dialed the familiar number on her phone.

After two beeps, the call was connected, and a man's voice with a slight cough was heard on the other end.

"Of course, Yang, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful side. By the way, you look more mature in the light curtain than you do now."

Ji Zi teased the man on the phone in a slightly joking tone.

Walter Yang on the other end of the phone quickly defended himself: "No, Jizi! Although the Walter Yang on the screen looks, sounds, and dresses exactly like me, I can guarantee that it is definitely not me!"

"And I have an idea, which is—"

"I understand what you mean, Yang," Ji Zi interrupted calmly. "The theory you want to talk about is about the tree of imaginary numbers?"

Even the most obtuse person would have realized something was amiss. Whether it was the girl Silver Wolf, who bore a striking resemblance to Bronya, or Ms. Himeko, who shared her name, or even Mr. Yang, who looked just like her... they all confirmed what she had been thinking.

The world in the light curtain is a parallel world to where they are.

She had learned about the cosmological hypothesis proposed in the previous civilization era, which summarized the structure of the entire universe as the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" and the "Ocean of Quantum." The Tree of Imaginary Numbers gave birth to countless worlds, and the world in the light curtain might be just one of its branches.

Between heaven and earth, there was only one tree and one sea, and so they began an endless competition.

Or is the world within the light curtain also a product of competition?

Ji Zi did not continue to think deeply, but maintained the call with Yang, and the two watched the image from the light screen together.

"I slowly opened my eyes, and what came into view was the furnishings of the space station."

Xing rubbed his head and slowly stood up from the medical bed. Dan Heng, who was in charge of taking care of him, raised his hand and greeted him.

"I'm glad you're okay. The Legion's threat has been resolved. You can rest assured." Dan Heng explained as he led Xing out the door.

"Even someone as powerful as Doommon was defeated by me..." Recalling his own bravery just now, Xing unconsciously puffed out his chest, a smug look on his face as if to say, "Come and praise me!"

"It seems you've recovered well." Dan Heng turned around, a barely perceptible smile forming at the corner of his mouth. He then coughed twice and explained to Xing Ming: "This is the Black Tower Space Station. Rest for a while. I won't disturb you. By the way, give me your beacon address—I can contact you if anything happens."

"By the way, if it's convenient, go see Jizi. She said she wants to see you."

-

"Hmm, this Dan Heng guy is the type who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Ma Yin propped up her chin with one hand, her eyes moving as she looked at Chi Tong, who also had the same type. "Speaking of which, what do you think of this Dan Heng guy?"

From the first time they met, Danheng's outstanding marksmanship left a deep impression on Mayin.

Even without the support of imperial artifacts, few people in the entire Night Raid organization could defeat him with such strength. As for this strong man from another world, Main thought about it and it seemed that only Chi Tong could stand against him. She was very curious about what this martial arts fanatic Chi Tong would think of him.

"Well, what do you think?" Chi Tong thought seriously for a long time with his chin held high before finally nodding as if confirming something.

"I think he's... handsome."

Myne: “…Ah?”

Ahhhh?

It's not you, what are you talking about?

Mayin looked at Chi Tong in disbelief.

There is no doubt that Akagi is a beauty, and there is no doubt that she has a paralyzed face. But when she said this sentence with a serious tone and a cold face, Marin always felt that this colleague who kills without blinking was so unfamiliar.

However, she was right. Compared to his marksmanship, Mayin's primary attraction to Danheng was his impeccable appearance.

Her eyebrows are long and smooth, slanting into the short hair on her temples. Under a touch of red eyeshadow, her eyes are like black jade, but there is a hint of warmth in her eyes like the sunshine in March.

Very handsome indeed.

Compared to that slow-witted guy Tatsumi...

"Wait." Marin suddenly realized that she had been distracted by Chi Tong's words. She patted her cheek, cleared her throat and said, "I'm asking you about his marksmanship. What do you think?"

Chi Tong closed her eyes, shook her head slowly, and sighed, "There are no flaws—at least I can't see any."

Chapter 14: Rejuvenation Shocks Victor

"Xing came to the main control section and saw Himeko waiting for her in a corner from a distance."

Seeing Xing arrive as expected, Ji Zi was very happy: "You're awake. I asked Xiao Sanyue and the others to stay near the train to keep an eye on it. The time is about the same, and the person I'm waiting for should be arriving soon."

"I've only been gone a few months? Huh? And the station is already in this state."

"Before he finished speaking, a slightly arrogant female voice suddenly sounded not far away."

"Following the sound, I saw a pair of fair calves. But when the camera zoomed out, I could see that the joints between the girl's calves and thighs had distinct ball joints."

"Is this a puppet?" Jace outside the light curtain widened his eyes.

"Amazing technology." Victor admired secretly, "Although the city-state's technology can also achieve remote automation, its appearance and shape are completely..." He was about to say something but stopped, just staring blankly at this masterpiece that was perfect in both structural accuracy and appearance.

If you ignore the joints at the joints of her limbs, she looks exactly like a human girl. The dark blue beret matches her long gray hair, and the purple lily in her hair adds a touch of elegance and intellectuality.

Beneath the black women's tuxedo was a snow-white puffy skirt, which made the hostess look a bit cute and adorable, which was totally disproportionate to her imposing manner.

"This is the true master of the space station, Genius Club #83, Black Tower."

After listening to Ji Zi's introduction, the girl raised her purple eyes in dissatisfaction and gave Ji Zi a slightly reproachful look: "I'm introducing you properly, why mention the club? I have so many extraordinary achievements, and none of them are better than #83?"

"The Genius... Club."

"After all, it's the most brilliant organization in the universe. I originally thought it would have a more impressive name, but it turned out to be so... down-to-earth. I almost had a hard time suppressing my laughter."

"Heita glanced at Xing and snorted, "Laugh if you want to. Do you think I like the name that old Zandar gave you? Besides, the core of the star is this brat now?"

"Himeko nodded silently."

"Hmph, then I'll have to take a closer look." A rare smile gradually spread across Heita's face.

-

"Uh... well, this... is the Black Tower?" Jace touched the slightly stubble on his chin and looked at Victor in disbelief.

"It should be correct, but I originally thought that this Lady of the Black Tower was a more steady type." Victor found it hard to imagine. After all, the Lady of the Black Tower that Estelle mentioned was the "embodiment of wisdom" and one of the smartest humans in the universe, but now it seemed that she was more like a childish little girl.

It is very suitable for the body of this doll.

"The puppet is probably just a tool for communication. Perhaps the source of the puppet's voice is the real Lady Black Tower."

"But this voice sounds like it's only in its teens or twenties?" Jace still couldn't believe it. "Such a young... incarnation of wisdom?"

"Otherwise, how can I be a genius?" Victor smiled bitterly.

The black tower within the light curtain had already begun to survey the star's entire body, exclaiming in admiration, "It's truly remarkable! To contain this unactivated star core and save the Azure Star from disaster, I built an entire space station..."

"Someone went back to basics and used this kid's body to accomplish this—how did they do it?"

"Feeling the gaze of the Black Tower, as if he were sizing up a lab rat, Xing felt like a thorn in his back, and a cold sweat broke out unconsciously."

"Also, the star core is still stable in her body." Jizi added.

"Yeah, this little fellow's physique is really strange." The curiosity in Heita's eyes became even more intense.

Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Do you really have to discuss me in person? Besides—I'm not a little kid." As he said this, Xing glanced at Heita's petite body with ill intent.

Heita was very perceptive and immediately understood what he meant. She raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Compared to me, you're just a kid. How old are you?"

"Furthermore, I have already completed my research on rejuvenation. The dolls you see today are only 70% similar to me as a child."

These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Victor's mind.

"Rejuvenation?! Is this really something that human science can achieve? If, if... cough cough..." Victor became unusually excited, but because his body was too weak, he covered his chest and began to cough violently.

Fortunately, after coughing, his pale face finally showed some color.

"Victor, you need to calm down. Although the Lady of the Black Tower can achieve rejuvenation, she is, after all, a human from another world." Jace, not forgetting the distant barrier of light separating them from the Lady of the Black Tower, gently soothed, "Just because she can succeed doesn't mean we can too."

Viktor shook his head firmly. "Jace, the meaning of science is to explore the impossible."

Jace sighed deeply. He knew Victor had always been in poor health and had always longed for a healthy body. He understood Victor's persistence and didn't intend to continue to persuade him on this matter.

In addition to Victor's obsession with pursuing health, a bold idea also emerged in his heart.

At the same time, in the lower city, Zaun.

This place is a den of filth and dirt, with drunken men hiding in the corners of the sewers and thugs robbing customers with knives in the dark alleys. A river filled with neurotoxins runs through the city, making this scarred land bear the name of sin.

In a laboratory located in an underground cave, the door was slowly pushed open, and the first thing that came in was a pair of shiny leather shoes. Then the owner of the shoes brushed off the dirt on his clothes and slowly walked into the laboratory.

Singed slowly stood up to greet him. After all, this distinguished guest in front of him could not be neglected.

The distinguished guest was none other than Hilco.

Behind him were several sturdy men, carrying precious mechanical parts collected from black markets all over Zaun.

"Here's what you wanted." With a command from Hilco, his men haphazardly piled the machinery they had found in a corner of the lab. Singed's already small lab seemed even more cramped with this pile of metal.

Singed had helped him research the Glimmer Potion and was considered one of the key founders of his power. He would grant any request he made, as long as it wasn't excessive. However, ever since Singed had seen the puppet called "Black Tower" in the light curtain, he had begun collecting nearly every piece of precision machinery in the Lower City.

Even without him saying it, Hilko could guess his intentions.

Chapter 15: Philen: ...Pervert

Hilco casually picked up a compass and played with it. "This enamel plate is from Demacia, and the flywheel movement... This is the top craftsmanship of their artisans. I put a lot of effort into collecting it."

Singed didn't say anything, just watched Hilko talking to himself quietly.

"And this pocket watch, a masterpiece from one of the prominent families in Upper City. It's said that the case is made from the shell of a Shellman—although it's only the size of a fingernail."

Silko gently wiped the dust off his pocket watch, revealing the mechanism within through the crystal case. It was a piece from thirty or forty years ago, but thanks to excellent care, the silver-white movement still retained its original appearance, making a clacking sound as it ticked through the air.

"Mr. Hilco..." Singed hesitated to speak.

"So, you're planning to use these decades-old scrap metal to replicate the Black Tower puppet in the light curtain?" Hilco tossed his pocket watch into the pile of scrap metal and sighed, "You should know that the technology displayed in that light curtain is beyond our reach in our lifetime."

"Everything you do is in vain." Silko said silently in his heart - but he didn't want to say it too bluntly, so as not to hurt the professor's feelings.

At first, he also longed for the technology in the light curtain, especially after seeing Silver Wolf's magical skill of modifying reality, he couldn't help but feel covetous. But after realizing the gap between the light curtain and the bottom city, he decisively decided to give up.
