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

In his view, this move is like a moth chasing a flame - using the limited time in life to try to narrow the technological gap that is as huge as an insurmountable chasm is not a wise move at all.

"I understand your point." Singed nodded, but then added, "If I didn't even have this pursuit, I wouldn't be where I am today."

“Before I worked with you, I was also a scientist.”

Hilco did not continue to persuade him. Having worked with Singed for many years, he knew the professor's temper very well.

He slowly stood up, gently brushing off the alchemical dust on his body. Before leaving the laboratory, he glanced back at Singed and whispered, "I'm sorry, Professor, but I probably won't be able to support your hobby for long. Of course, if you'd like to use these machines to research new weapons, that's another matter."

After saying that, the strong men around Hilco slammed the door of the laboratory shut.

The noisy laboratory returned to silence again. The ticking sound of the red copper clock hanging on the wall was accompanied by the sound of footsteps gradually fading away. Apart from this, there was no other sound.

After waiting for Hilco and his group to leave, Singed came to the secret door of the laboratory alone. He raised his hand to open it, and found a narrow little room hidden inside.

Unlike the messy lab, the small room was not only immaculately tidy but also warmly furnished, like a young girl's boudoir. An old teddy bear sat in the center of the room, next to a large mechanical cabin, as if guarding something.

Singed walked slowly to the mechanical cabin and carefully moved his gaze from the buttons on the cabin to the transparent cabin door. The moment he saw the girl inside, his cloudy eyes trembled slightly.

——Unlike ordinary people, the girl’s calm face reflected a metallic luster.

"Before I was a scientist, I was a father."

Hilco was only partially right.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought of perfectly replicating a puppet as precise as the "Black Tower". Such a perfect and lifelike puppet could never be made in Zaun... or even Piltover. Even though he was quite confident in his alchemy research, he did not lose his rationality and self-knowledge as a scientist.

Just after taking a glimpse of the Black Tower's nearly perfect appearance, he gained a lot of inspiration for a while.

He had not yet thought of applying puppet technology to large-scale war killings.

But if it could be applied to Orianna, allowing her daughter to have a lively and vivid posture like the Black Tower, and be able to open her eyes and look at him...

He was willing to do anything for it.

"In the light curtain, Ji Zi looked at Xing with a smile and invited her, "Xing... you know you have another option. There's a Star Train parked on the platform. If you'd like, you can come with us."

"Trains and star cores have been around a lot. What you're worried about is what we're looking for. Besides..." Ji Zi paused, glancing at Heita, who stood with her hands on her hips. "We can always come back and let Heita do some research. She's very interested right now."

"Heita also quite agrees with Jizi's suggestion. After all, she is a person whose interests come and go quickly."

"Hiroshi was about to say something, but Himeko said she wasn't in a rush for her answer and would wait for her on the platform, letting Hoshi go see whoever she wanted during that time."

"But just as Jizi finished speaking, Xing's phone suddenly vibrated, and then she received a text message from Heita."

"Heita: "Hey, Xing, I'm Heita, and I have something good for you. Come to my office right now! I'll be waiting for you!"

“?”

"Xing looked at the black tower right in front of her with a puzzled look on her face, and then silently replied with a question mark. However, the puppet that had been chattering in front of her suddenly became quiet and motionless."

"Xing: "You're right next to me. If you have anything to say, can't you just ask directly?"

"Black Tower: [Automatic Reply], Hello, I'm away now and won't be in touch with you for a while."

"Xing: "Uh... what's going on?"

"It seems you received a message from the Black Tower, didn't you?" Ji Zi smiled faintly, looking down at the Black Tower puppet beside her. "As you can see, the Black Tower relies on a puppet to communicate with you remotely, but the Black Tower puppet is not this one. She has placed many puppets throughout the space station. If she needs to handle an incident somewhere, she can log in to the nearest puppet and remotely control it. It's very convenient."

"If I remember correctly..." Himeko pondered for a moment, "She has over 200 puppets scattered throughout the station. You can run into them anywhere you go."

"Over 200!" Hugh Tark's mouth opened in surprise. "If there were more, they should be able to form a large army of puppets to defeat the Demon King's army, right?"

Philen carefully examined the Black Tower puppets and shook his head. "It seems these puppets don't possess any physical power, do they? And we don't even know what they're made of. If they were easily damaged, wouldn't Madam Black Tower be distressed?"

As he was speaking, Philen discovered that Xuttark was supporting his chin with one hand, staring at the puppet in the black tower motionlessly.

"Lord Hugh Tark? What are you thinking about?"

"Ah, I was thinking..." A longing expression appeared on Hugh Tark's face, "It would be great if this lady from the Black Tower could give me a doll."

Before he finished speaking, Fulilian, who was sitting next to Philen, suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop sharply, which made her secretly feel that something was wrong.

Xutark acted as if nothing had happened and didn't notice the disgust in Philen's eyes at all.

The evening breeze from the window lifted her long hair, making the little purple mushroom feel sour in her heart, and she suddenly didn't want to say a word.

"Philen?" The careless Xu Tark finally realized that something was wrong.

It's a pity it's too late.

Philen turned sideways, twisted his head to the side, and puffed out his cheeks angrily.

"……satyr."

Chapter 16 Gojo Satoru was dumbfounded: There are still masters?!

"After asking Estar, Xing finally arrived at the Black Tower's office."

"Black Tower: "Hey, you're finally here. I won't beat around the bush. I'm currently working on a major project with my colleagues. If successful, we can solve the ultimate problem that has plagued us for thousands of Amber Ages: the mystery of the [Star God]."

"'Star Gods!'—Just think about it, what amazing beings! Don't you want to know?" Heita said, growing increasingly excited. "Some Star Gods were once ordinary humans like you and me, but somehow, they gained powers beyond our imagination! They are secretive, powerful, silent, and terrifying! The mysteries surrounding them simply can't be fully explained in a few words!"

"How were they born? Why were they born? What was the purpose of their birth? ... I ask you, Xing, have you ever thought about these questions?"

"Ordinary human?" Mavica's eyes widened when she heard these four words.

Starting from the first God of Fire, Shibarak, thousands of years ago, successive Gods of Fire have also been human. Although they possess divine powers, they still cannot escape the human cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death.

Becoming a god with a mortal body is a fantasy for people in other countries, but in Nata it is a goal that even a three-month-old child can dream of and strive for.

But the weight of a "Star God" was vastly different from that of a "Fire Demon God." The Star Gods of other worlds seemed far more powerful and influential than the gods of Teyvat. When Nanook of Destruction opened his eyes and gazed upon her, even someone as powerful as Mavica felt a chilling chill.

"That dark-skinned man, Nanook of Destruction... could he have been a human before?" Thinking of this, Mavika suddenly became interested. If this little lady in the Black Tower could really figure out the secret of the Star God's power, could this experience be applied to the rules of Teyvat?

Regardless of whether you can do it or not, this is definitely worth paying attention to and trying.

"Four geniuses from the club teamed up to create a program. See that giant machine in the office? It has its own universe, but it's more streamlined and customized..."

"At this point, a sly smile crossed Heita's lovely face, as if she were proud of her own intelligence. She placed her hands on her hips, subconsciously puffed out her chest, and proudly said, "I call it the Metaverse."

Xing scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Should we stop trying to ride on the popularity?"

"Really? My partner said so too, so I'm calling it the Simulated Universe now. Go experience it now. Not only will I guarantee you won't lose anything, I'll also pay you a large sum."

"Hearing the word 'reward,' Xing finally piqued her interest. She walked over to the machine and was about to ask Black Tower how to operate it when she suddenly felt dizzy, as if her consciousness had been momentarily sucked into something. When she opened her eyes again, she was back inside the space station."

"However, there's no one here except her, and there are a few scattered pawns."

"At this moment, a light screen appeared before my eyes, and Heita's voice quickly rang out from within: "Xing, can you see me talking? If you can, tap the screen—"

"Your body is still in the office. This is a simulated universe generated based on your memories. Of course, this is still a beta version, so please move around and take a walk."

"The body remains where it is, but the consciousness has traveled to another world. Hmm... if it's a ritual, it might be very troublesome, but fortunately it has nothing to do with us~"

Gojo Satoru pushed up his sunglasses, tilted his head back, and gulped down the milk tea in his hand, letting out a refreshing "Ah——" sound.

Yuta Otsutsukota looked at his teacher, who seemed a little too relaxed, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He asked, "Teacher Gojo, are you also interested in what's going on in the light curtain?"

"Of course, I'm quite interested in those star gods they mentioned."

Gojo Satoru gently lowered his sunglasses, his eyes as clear as the azure sea concealing a faint smile, "Yuta, you felt it too, right? That dark-skinned man..."

Recalling the eyes of Destruction Nanook that opened, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Yuta Otsutsuki's forehead.

"Haha, I know without even thinking that man—he's absolutely super strong!" Gojo Satoru laughed heartily, seemingly unfazed. "He's so strong, even if I'm not curious, that guy will be."

Without being told explicitly, Yuta Okkotsu could guess that the guy was referring to Ryomen Sukuna.

In fact, this is indeed the case. On the other side, Ryoumen Sukuna was indeed paying attention to every move of the stars in the light curtain.

Rather than focusing on the stars, Sukuna was actually more concerned about the "origin of the star god" that Heita mentioned. Compared to the Doommon that appeared earlier, the black-skinned man named "Nanook" caught his attention even more.

Especially the moment his eyes met hers, the feeling at that moment...

Is it fear?

...He couldn't explain it. Anyway, since his birth a thousand years ago, in his long and boring life, he had never experienced this kind of emotion.

However, the human who died before him had an almost similar distorted expression on his face before he died.

"Some Star Gods also started out as humans. Maybe Gojo Satoru is focusing on this right now, researching how to become a Star God?"

I have come to know you for the first time. I have come to know you for the first time.

"Boring." Ryomen Sukuna crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

"Oh?" The man was so nervous that he couldn't move his hands. He was so nervous that he couldn't move his hands. He was so nervous that he couldn't move his hands.

"..."

Sukuna didn't intend to explain. He pulled out his right hand from his arms and put his index finger on the two wooden legs of the rocking chair under his buttocks. The poor chair lost its balance in an instant, and the rocking chair, which was just relaxing, was thrown into chaos.

"Hey! You!..."

After Xing followed Black Tower's instructions and walked around twice, Black Tower said with great satisfaction, "Very good. I want you to play as Akivilli. First, go find some monsters and fight them. See which simulated star god notices you first."

"That's easy, just watch me." Xing was about to swing the bat and start playing when suddenly two figures appeared beside her. They were San Yue Qi and Dan Heng.

"Although they were virtual, their skills were no less impressive than in real life. With their combined siege, the monsters were instantly wiped out."

"But the moment the monster fell, the surrounding environment suddenly changed."

"Xing felt all five of his senses being swallowed up in an instant, and he was once again in a dark void."

"But soon an amber sky appeared, and countless copper ore, amber, and opal fell from the star's face. It was a mineral rain that attracted worldwide attention."

"Amidst the molten, monstrous being, its spine stretched from the earth's veins. Its broad hand gripped a massive hammer. Xing looked up, and saw a golden figure slowly materialize before her amidst the vast void. Like a towering deity in mythology, it revealed a glimpse of its might."

"——【Protection】Star God Cripple!"

Gojo Satoru, who had just finished drinking milk tea outside the light curtain, suddenly started coughing and almost choked himself. He adjusted the shaky sunglasses on his nose and looked at the huge monster that suddenly appeared in the light curtain with an incredible look on his face.

I originally thought that destroying the Star God was strong enough.

Here... there are masters? !

Chapter 17: Destruction of Faith? That’s not something to be believed in!

"Another Star God, but this Star God gives people a completely different feeling."

"The Star God of Destruction gives people a strong sense of oppression, and one can easily sense his malicious intent; but strangely, I can't feel it at all from this Star God."

"—On the contrary, there's a warm, heavy feeling."

Yue Chengliu was describing his first impressions of the Protector Star God while quickly recording something in his small notebook.

If nothing goes wrong, HAND headquarters will have to find Section Chief Ya to make a performance report on the "Protecting Star God" later. Maybe the current notes will be useful to Ya later.

The Star God of Destruction had already scared several high-ranking officials of HAND half to death, and now another Star God appeared. Fortunately, he did not show any hostility and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that different Star Gods have different stances toward humanity," Qianyu Youzhen said. "I have a hypothesis. Perhaps the Star God of Destruction holds the power of destruction over the universe, while this Star God of Preservation holds the exact opposite position. It's like the strongest spear versus the strongest shield."

Yuma adopted a tone that read, "I'm not afraid to watch the fun." "What would happen if these two Star Gods really met? Wouldn't a fight be earth-shattering?"

Yue Chengliu pushed up his half-framed glasses. "But there will definitely be rivers of blood. When it's still unclear what the connection is between the world in the light curtain and our world, it's best not to fight yet."

"Accompanied by a huge roar, Xing felt a tremor beneath his feet, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting. Fortunately, this shock didn't last long. When Xing came to his senses, he was back in the space station."

"Our calculations were successful. The Star God of Preservation, Klipper, has truly appeared." Heita's voice suddenly echoed beside her, and she let out an incomprehensible chuckle. "The Star God of Development, Akivali, has returned from the dead, bringing with him old friends."

"Since waking up, Xing has never delved into the gossip among the Star Gods. Judging from Heita's tone, she seems to be quite knowledgeable."

"Tell me more about the friendship between the Star Gods?"

"This is just a simulated Star God carefully cultivated by Ruan Mei and Screw Gum. The real Star Gods won't pay any attention to us. So I set your identity as the pioneering Star God Akivali to attract them."

"Heita paused here and tutted his words, "It seems my judgment was correct. Next time you encounter a virtual star god, you'll need to try to get closer to them."

"With a wave of her hand, the Black Tower strengthened all the blessings of protection on Xing. She hoped to use this method to lure Klipper back. However, no matter how many monsters Xing defeated along the way, it was of no avail."

"Well... He probably won't come," Black Tower said in a disheartened voice. "I admit I was a bit too eager for quick success... From now on I won't interfere with your actions. Do as you please."

"Clipper's appearance was probably just a coincidence... I won't go into details. Anyway, I'm sorry." With that, Black Tower's voice vanished.

"Xing fought monsters all the way, but nothing happened after she had beaten every one of them in the simulated universe. She couldn't help but ask Black Tower about his next goal. After a long silence, she heard Black Tower sigh with regret."

"I was hoping He would show up. Forget it, I'm going to shut down the simulation now. It's just a split second, you won't feel anything. We'll talk in reality later."

"The space station's image gradually faded into darkness. Xing grew accustomed to the feeling of floating in the void, but after a while, she realized she was still in the simulated universe."

"'Black Tower?' Xing called out into the empty void."
