Their commission was suspicious.

[Quickly check what the staff form of the Key of Erosion looks like! I know you're probably very reluctant to face this, but running away won't solve anything.]

"..." Although escaping is shameful, it is useful.

Although Chen Luo really wanted to say that, he still returned the magic wand to Sakura with a bitter face.

Then he took out his Key of Corrosion.

It's still a ball.

A black ball.

"What is this?" Yunxia asked curiously.

"That's not important. What's important is that you should start teaching now. Teach Sakura how to use the Clow Cards. Go quickly." Chen Luo shoved Yun Xia, returned Sakura's wand to her, and told them to hurry up and practice.

"Hey, hey, what's that black ball of yours? Let me see it." Seeing Chen Luo's urgency, Yun Xia became even more certain that what Chen Luo had in his hand was something special.

"That's not your concern. What you should be concerned about right now is how to turn all your Clow Cards into your own. Sakura turned all the cards into her own Sakura Cards when she was 12 years old, and you're 18 and you still haven't finished. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Besides, Xiao Shi is already SS-level now, and you're still at S-level, how can you be so shameless?"

"No... now that you're changing the subject, I'm even more curious to see it." Yun Xia wasn't upset by Chen Luo's words; instead, she was even more curious about what that black ball was.

Yunxia wasn't stupid; when she saw Chen Luo suddenly stop waving his staff, she knew something must have happened.

After waving the staff, this thing appeared. Could this be Chen Luo's magical girl transformation device?

Then Yunxia definitely needs to watch!

Chen Luo ignored the announcement of the incoming commission.

Laugh to death...

There are three deaths in a lifetime.

But Chen Luo felt there were 4 times.

Because death in society is also considered death.

Although he could accept the commission first and then forcibly erase Yunxia's memories after he had lost face, Chen Luo didn't like touching other people's memories.

After throwing Yunxia, ​​Xiaoying, and Zhishi into the training room of the bar and adjusting the time flow to 1:10 to give them ample time to familiarize themselves with the Clow Cards, Chen Luo took out the Key of Erosion again.

Now Chen Luo just hopes that the Key of Erosion won't cause any trouble, like...

Please use the summoning phrase to unlock.

"..."

Yes, that's it, it's just right!

Ruined!

"Although I'm somewhat unwilling, I want to know exactly what the summoning incantation is?"

[Summoning phrase: Key that conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true strength before me! Seal released!]

"Hmm, that sounds pretty cool... provided I don't know Sakura's staff summoning incantation." Chen Luo's face darkened.

Chen Luo held the black ball and looked around to make sure no one was around before raising it.

"Key that conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true strength before me! Release the seal!"

As Chen Luo uttered the summoning incantation, a black light emerged from the black sphere and spiraled upwards into the sky.

Then it exploded with a bang!

A vast expanse of darkness, like ink, instantly soaked the entire sky. The eastern sky, which was already dark, was relatively calm and didn't cause much fear. However, the western sky, which was in broad daylight, was also shrouded in darkness, plunging half the world into panic.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo's expression shifted.

Chen Luo suddenly felt his thinking being elevated to an infinite height, and the ball in his hand, which had finally lost its black color, revealed its true form—a clear crystal ball.

When Chen Luo looked down at the crystal ball, he could vaguely see countless black dots inside it.

That's not the point. The point is that when Chen Luo looked at this crystal ball, it wasn't like he was looking at a ball, but rather like he was looking at a... universe.

[True Key of Erosion - Staff Form]: Where there is light, there is darkness; where there is no light... isn't that darkness? Therefore, darkness is everywhere!

"That makes perfect sense!" Chen Luo's body trembled.

The description was so thought-provoking that Chen Luo then took another look at the staff's effects.

effect:

Connection: Darkness is omnipresent. The staff can be used to travel to any known or unknown place in the universe shrouded in darkness, or as a link for ability use… The farther the distance, the weaker the effect, but it will never be less than 50%.

General knowledge: Darkness is everywhere, including the human heart, so the staff can use its ability to control the human heart to absorb knowledge and resolve any doubts you may have.

Offering Magic: Darkness is everywhere, so your magic will be inexhaustible!

Amplification: When wielding a staff, your dark abilities will be amplified, with the amplification intensity varying.

"General knowledge, right..." Chen Luo glanced at him sideways.

"Yes, Master," a mechanical voice echoed from inside the crystal ball.

"I have a question..."

【Master, is there anything I can help you with?】

"Isn't it supposed to be a magic staff? Why is it a crystal ball?" Chen Luo asked, touching the crystal ball.

It's a magic staff.

"So what do you look like now?"

Crystal Ball

"So what should it be called?"

[Staff]

"..."

You idiot!

Chapter 2045 Don't ask, the end of the abnormal events is a gas explosion!

Good news: The awakened Key of Erosion isn't some kind of socially reprehensible artifact, but rather a rather cool-looking crystal ball.

Moreover, it is very effective, connecting all parts of the world through the omnipresent darkness and even the darkness in the hearts of living beings, making infinite distances within reach.

The omnipresent darkness of the entire world provides Chen Luo with energy, and as long as the darkness doesn't disappear, Chen Luo's magic will not be interrupted. Unless a powerful being temporarily severs the connection between the Key of Corruption and the darkness through special means, Chen Luo's magic can be temporarily cut off, but there is still a great deal of magic within Chen Luo's body... Chen Luo has truly achieved magical freedom.

Furthermore, this crystal ball can also serve as a reconnaissance medium for user-friendly plugins.

Bad news: The smart system in this crystal ball is an idiot...

It's not fair to call the other person stupid; they're just incredibly unintelligent.

This crystal ball is actually quite powerful in the omnipotent field. It can find any knowledge that someone with dark or negative emotions possesses, essentially making it a global equivalent of Baidu.

But that's about it. Its biggest difference from user-friendly plugins is that this thing is not very intelligent and is too rigid.

Both it and the humanized plugin are artificial intelligence, but one is real artificial intelligence and the other is fake artificial intelligence.

...The crystal ball is the real artificial intelligence.

After all, only true artificial intelligence would be so rigid.

Moreover, this usurped crystal ball has another obvious drawback: it can only know information known to at least one creature with a dark heart, and it cannot predict the future.

It's not that the Key of Erosion's general knowledge function is faulty, but rather that it came at the wrong time.

If he had arrived earlier, he would have been Chen Luo's right-hand man... Unfortunately, his place in Chen Luo's heart has already been taken by someone else.

As expected, I am the true female lead.

"...Stop talking nonsense and take over the general knowledge function of this Key of Erosion," Chen Luo said.

Okay!

Using the timer function of the crystal ball is like searching on Baidu; the results are all over the place.

Through intelligent systems, general knowledge functions will present the most accurate answers, but some inaccurate ones will inevitably be mixed in.

The user-friendly plugins don't even require you to search; they will directly present the correct answer to you.

Easy and convenient.

"But in any case, thankfully this staff-shaped Key of Corruption didn't turn into something terrifying." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Key of Corrosion really becomes a magical girl's transformation wand, and requires saying a lot of embarrassing lines before use, Chen Luo really has no way of guaranteeing that he won't do anything to the Key of Corrosion.

"Ah, right!" Chen Luo suddenly remembered something.

Then Chen Luo hurriedly ran into the bar and went to the training room, where he pulled Yun Xia out.

He gave Yunxia a proper demonstration of his Corrosion Key.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Although Chen Luo ignored Yun Xia's mission at the time, he still accepted it because he quite liked collecting strange things, such as failed missions and missions he didn't want to do.

True collectors will collect even things like this!

At the time, Chen Luo didn't intend to complete this commission, but that didn't mean he wouldn't collect it... After all, what if it wasn't some shameful artifact staff?

Now, it's time to get it done!

"What is this..." Yunxia left with little interest after looking at the crystal ball.

This is nothing like a magical girl!

"How despicable! She only knows how to build her happiness on the suffering of others!" Chen Luo expressed his contempt for Yun Xia's behavior.

Ha, doesn't she even know who she learned that from?

"..."

Chen Luo suddenly realized that the comprehension function between erosions was not entirely without its advantages, such as being obedient enough.

After showing Yunxia his precious treasure, Chen Luo didn't stay at the bar but returned to the world of Cardcaptor Sakura.

Because Chen Luo still had things to do... such as explaining to people all over the world why it suddenly got dark...

The commotion of releasing the Key of Erosion from its seal was quite significant, and now the whole world basically knows about it.

[Putting the entire Earth into darkness cannot be explained simply by a slightly larger commotion.]

Not just Earth, but the entire solar system was shrouded in darkness.

If this commotion hadn't been merely the aftermath of releasing the Key of Corruption, the entire galaxy would have been plunged into darkness, since the Key of Corruption is a special treasure capable of affecting the entire world.

For example, Chen Luo can now use the Dark Connection ability of the Key of Erosion to instantly teleport to outside the Milky Way.

It's absolutely terrifying!

Fortunately, life only exists on Earth in the entire solar system, otherwise Chen Luo would have had even more to deal with.

Holding the crystal ball in one hand, Chen Luo wasn't flustered at all, despite the workload of rewriting the entire world's understanding.

Because this eroded crystal ball itself has a connection ability, in addition to being able to teleport, it can also conduct Chen Luo's power, at least 50% of the power can be conducted.

Although the power can only be transmitted to those who have darkness in their hearts, the problem is that just now, anyone who could discover the anomalies of the other world would inevitably feel panicked and fearful, which is a kind of dark energy.

Those who don't see it won't panic, but they also don't need to change their mindset.

Besides, who doesn't have some negative emotions like being irritable?

Chen Luo gently stroked the crystal ball. After using his connection ability, Chen Luo felt as if he were stroking the entire Earth.

A faint fluctuation of spiritual energy spread rapidly in all directions through the crystal ball.

The next step is to make up reasons.

"Gas explosion." Chen Luo finalized the reason and used the power of the Herald of Consciousness to modify the consciousness across the entire Earth by borrowing the connection of the Erosion Crystal Ball.

Although the Erosion Crystal Ball claims to guarantee at least 50% power transmission, that refers to the result after crossing at least dozens of galaxies; within the Earth's range, power transmission can achieve almost 100% arrival.

【……What?】

"A gas explosion."
