Their commission was suspicious.

"I think I might have forgotten something."

"what's up?"

"I completely forgot about my promise to a socially awkward older sister!" Chen Luo was utterly dumbfounded.

Chen Luo was referring to the world consciousness of the Clow Card world, which gave him 50 shares of world resources to purchase items worth 30 shares of world source.

Moreover, Chen Luo ignored her for several days.

Could the other party think I've already absconded with the money?

Chen Luo, who was starting to sense something was wrong, wiped away his cold sweat and pushed open the bar door.

As for the world coordinates of the other world that Chen Luo is waiting for, there's no rush for now.

Since the transfer is handled by adventurers from his own paradise, it doesn't seem to matter if Chen Luo doesn't guard it.

Anyway, Shana can't die in that world.

According to the World Consciousness, its agent Shana is actually quite powerful.

The world's consciousness isn't worried about Shana being in danger in that world; it's worried that Shana will have too much fun there and cause some kind of world-class diplomatic incident.

However, just as he was about to step into the world of Clow Cards, Chen Luo turned back and closed the door.

"Oh right, let's bring our things first."

When visiting someone, you should always bring a gift.

Since it was the world consciousness of this world that entrusted Chen Luo to purchase world-class materials, Chen Luo should also bring goods with him this time, at least a portion of them.

So Chen Luo first went back to his own world.

Chen Luo delegated most of the procurement work to the world consciousness of his own world.

While most world-class resources can be purchased online, you can also get discounts if you know the world where the resource originates.

The world consciousness of Chen Luo's world said that if he handed over most of the materials to it, it would give him a 8% discount.

"I thought you weren't coming. My wanderer, you haven't returned home these past few days," the world consciousness reminded me.

"...I've been partying too much at bars lately, so after drinking at night I just fall asleep on the third floor of the bar. And I don't usually have time to go home for meals, so it's normal that I haven't been home for several days, right?" Chen Luo said innocently.

"A minor dares to drink? Wait until your parents get back, I'm going to tell them."

"I had no choice; I was drugged by the girls," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Oh? Which girl? Or how many girls? What's their age? What's their race? What's their personality like?"

"Stop, stop, stop... Why are you so nosy? Give me the materials, I need to hand them in."

"Tch, it's already in your basement. It arrived yesterday; I requested express delivery, same-day delivery."

"Express delivery must be very expensive, right?"

"Of course."

"Express delivery is so expensive, yet you can still make a profit at 8% of the price. It's hard to imagine how profitable this industry is."

"Just tell me if you want it or not?"

"Yes! By the way, why did you put your things in the basement?"

"If I hadn't placed it directly in the basement, but instead used a time-space portal to teleport it, and then your fox found it and brought it to the basement..."

The World Consciousness rarely bestows certain items directly upon beings within its world; it can only do so indirectly.

After Chen Luo retrieved the items from the basement and greeted Bubble, who was staying there, he arrived in another world.

A world in ruins.

Because Chen Luo also handed over a small portion of his business to the world consciousness of the Honkai world... It would be a bit difficult for a single world consciousness to know all the world consciousnesses that have goods in their hands.

"I didn't choose express service, but it'll be here soon, just wait a little while. Oh, by the way, would you like a more special entrance?"

"Huh?" Chen Luo didn't understand the meaning of world consciousness.

"Didn't you need to give her a punch? She's only interested in things that increase her power; without sufficient benefits, she won't even show her face outside her lair. And those world-class items just happen to be enough."

"I'll teleport those world-class items directly into the Sea of ​​Quanta. The resulting fluctuations will be enough to attract So's attention. Then, you'll hide them in front of Vita. After Vita tells So about this, do you think So will come looking for you? Oh, and remember to act a little weak... after all, So is rather timid."

"...That is one way. Then I'll trouble you."

"It's alright, no trouble at all."

Since he would need to go to the Sea of ​​Quanta in a while, Chen Luo might as well just teleport there directly.

Coincidentally, Chen Luo had a teleportation coordinate in the Sea of ​​Quanta—the Hyperion.

When Chen Luo teleported to the Hyperion's teleportation anchor point, he found that there were only a few people left in the Hyperion.

"Lord Morgan fixed the radar system last night, so after returning from the bar this morning, he went to explore the city about half an hour ago. It seems he plans to obtain the etheric singularity of this world before tonight... Of course, you could say this world will be ready by tomorrow morning," said the Hyperion crew member and Paradise adventurer who was responsible for staying behind.

Because it's nighttime inside the bubble now, which doesn't align with the hours of the bars.

"Alright, I was originally planning to catch up first. Since they're busy with work, I won't bother them. But... this world is not simple." Chen Luo suddenly looked into the distance.

"Oh? Then, sir, should we have a few more people thoroughly search this world bubble?"

“No need… In a sense, someone in this world possesses some of the same power as me.” Chen Luo’s gaze deepened.

"what?"

The adventurer from the amusement park suddenly had a lot on his mind.

Chen Luo ignored the adventurers' wild thoughts.

The moment Chen Luo arrived in this world, he sensed a faint connection. However, this connection rapidly weakened after his arrival.

It seems there's something wrong with the other party.

Meanwhile, the human-centered plugin was searching for this connection as it interacted with Chen Luo and the adventurers in the amusement park.

[It's been found. This is a world bubble that reflects the intrinsic world.]

In the original world, Otto created A-310, also known as Theresa, in order to revive Kallen. However, after creating A-310 in this world bubble, Otto did not stop, but continued to create the series of experimental subjects... until Theresa, numbered A-872, was born in 1996.

[Before the A-872 experiment, all the experiments incorporating the Honkai Beast "Vishnu" cells of the Honkai Fusion type dissolved. Therefore, Otto determined that other elements needed to be added to achieve balance, so he added the energy of the Corruption Key. This clone not only did not dissolve, but even gained miraculous powers.]

She can inject bacterial Honkai Beasts into those she drinks, transforming them into half-human, half-Honkai Beasts, and inflicting a vampire urge upon them. In a sense, she is a vampire.

You can call her A-872, you can call her Theresa, and of course, you can also call her—Moonlight Embrace.

[After you enhanced the Herrscher of Corruption's power to SSS rank, a convergence reaction occurred, forcefully weakening the Herrscher of Corruption power in all parallel worlds and world bubbles within the Imaginary Tree, to the point that they couldn't even generate the concept of the Herrscher of Corruption. A-872's current weakened acceleration is also because you came to this world bubble. So… what is your decision regarding the few remaining "kindred spirits" possessing the power of Corruption?]

[To eliminate, to reclaim power, or... to lick her black stockings?]

"Of course it is... wait, what the heck is the last option?"

【Oh, you don't like black stockings? White stockings will do, but you might need to change them for her yourself. The stat bonuses are slightly different, so please be careful.】

"...You fucking!"

Chapter 2114 Chen Luo: Anything higher than a wheel must die! I mean a horizontally laid wheel.

As for whether it's black stockings or white stockings... Chen Luo meant that he needed to investigate on-site to determine how to handle this very sudden problem.

Only in this way can a fair and impartial decision be made regarding whether or not one should wear white or black stockings under the moonlight...

"You son of a bitch!" Chen Luo couldn't help but crumple up the words in the upper left corner of his retina, grind them hard on the ground, and then kick them into the trash can.

Top-tier talent has a synergistic effect.

The weak need to band together; the strong only need one person.

Therefore, the power of the most outstanding talents is basically unique.

This is why, after Chen Luo gathered an erosion talent in the Starry Sky Railway World that was comparable to, or even surpassed, the power of a Star God, it only affected one immortal ship.

Because Chen Luo's influence extends to all beings within the Imaginary Tree who are connected to the Law of Erosion.

From a practical standpoint, the power of erosion is not as manifest as that of other star gods.

For example, Ahab, the entire universe clearly knew of his birth at that moment.

However, from a macro perspective, the commotion caused by Chen Luo is by no means insignificant.

Chen Luo didn't create a splash dozens of meters high in a puddle, but he made ripples appear in puddles all over the world.

With that moment as the dividing line, the power of the Herrscher of Erosion will completely fade away in the world bubbles and parallel worlds that are born afterward, and the power of erosion that existed before that will gradually dissipate for various reasons.

But this was not Chen Luo's subjective opinion.

[I understand. The abilities of good people, like those of light, allow everyone to grow stronger together, while the abilities of evil types only allow me to grow stronger; the rest must all die!]

“…If you say another word, I’ll make you speak like Kal’tsit.”

[...] The user-friendly plugin immediately shut up.

Chen Luo admitted that the truth of the humanized plugin had somewhat broken his defenses, but that was the domineering power of corruption.

Previously, no talent in the Imaginary Tree had ever jumped directly from S-rank to SSS-rank, but now it has.

However, the S-level powers that had previously been associated with them did not rise to prominence as a result. Instead, they were like a city being massacred by some nomadic tribes, with everyone taller than a cartwheel dying!

The Theresa in this world was very lucky; she just happened to be shorter than the wheels.

Although she has a very close connection with the Herrscher of Corruption, she is not actually the Herrscher of Corruption; instead, she has become a vampire.

However, things were different when Chen Luo came into this world.

It was still a nomadic massacre; anyone taller than a cartwheel had to die. But this time, the cartwheel wasn't placed vertically, but... horizontally.

But this is not the power of erosion acting on its own; rather, it is an extremely powerful influence.

Just like the Dharma-ending Age for practitioners.

This is an inevitable trend, causing countless lives to slowly perish, yet they will not personally kill anyone.

Chen Luo didn't feel too guilty, because the power of the Herrscher of Corruption was not a good thing in most cases.

If the power of the Sixth Herrscher can at least save people, then the Herrscher of Corruption is practically synonymous with evil.

Anyway, none of the Heralds of Corruption throughout history have ever done anything good.

Ling, the twelfth Herrscher of the previous civilization, manipulated an electronic virus and used nuclear bombs to destroy the last three cities of humanity.

This text clearly states that those who violate the law of erosion destroy the paradise of the past.

The benefits of eliminating the corrosive power far outweigh the drawbacks.

However, the girl in this world shouldn't have died like this.

There are many people in this world who shouldn't have died, but very few that Chen Luo would encounter.

If Chen Luo had raised the Corruption Power to SSS level 50,000 years ago, it might have changed Ling's fate as the Herrscher of Corruption, preventing her from awakening.

When Chen Luo arrives in this world, he will gradually cause Theresa in this world to lose her corrosive power.

Unfortunately, "she" will not become an ordinary person after losing the power of corruption, because her life was sustained by the power of corruption.

She loses her corrosive power and can only "dissolve".

"Canghai City is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It certainly lives up to its name as a tourist city." Chen Luo walked along the main street of Canghai City.

The etheric singularity within this world bubble is located in this city.

Morgan and her team are searching for this etheric singularity.

Looking up, Chen Luo could see the sign for Houmu Happy Restaurant.

There is obviously no etheric singularity here, but there is...

“Sir, there have been a series of vampire incidents in Canghai City recently. If possible, it’s best to avoid these alleys near the streets.” Just as Chen Luo was about to continue walking forward, a girl with a red ponytail stopped him.

"Huh? Oh, thanks for reminding me." Chen Luo's eyes glazed over for a moment as he looked at the girl in front of him.

"This uniform... are you a vigilante from Canghai City?"

“That’s right, my name is Ji Zi, and I’m a volunteer police officer in Canghai City. Young man, you seem to be a tourist from out of town. If you encounter any problems that require help, please feel free to ask me for assistance, and I will try my best to help.” The 19-year-old girl said to Chen Luo.

"..."

To be honest, Chen Luo had seen quite a few Himeko Murata characters, but he had never seen a younger version like this before. Whether it was Himiko, Himeko Murata, or Himeko from the Starry Sky Railway, their ages were all...

Chen Luo meant that they all had a mature charm.
