Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

As he spoke, Ita stood up, walked to the other side and opened a door. From Shirley's perspective, she could see that the room was filled with all kinds of expensive materials and incomprehensible instruments.

"If you want to join me, then I welcome you at any time. You are better than me in some aspects and you have the qualifications."

Faced with Itana's words that showed she had no idea how outrageous her behavior was, and her attitude of not taking anyone seriously, Shirley clenched her fists.

"Hu... Never mind, you have a point. I really don't need those things anymore. I'll give them all if you want them.

But you have to return some basic items to me, I need them for something now."

Thinking that the elf girl in front of her was not only a friend who could help her complete the plan, but was also the key to the plan, Shirley could only swallow her anger and reveal the real purpose of her visit.

"...Interesting. I remember that we have already made all the preparations for our plan. Given your personality, at this moment, do you still have the time to do other things?"

Hearing Shirley's request, Ita's lazy expression stiffened slightly, but it returned to normal in just a moment without Shirley noticing.

"It was just an order from my current employer. He suddenly found me a divine tool user and asked me to perform fusion stimulation surgery and brain control surgery on this guy. Some of the props for the surgery were taken by you."

Shirley explained with an unhappy look on her face, her eyes full of disgust for her employer.

"Inspiration... mind control... sounds like a very valuable experimental subject. Are you interested in telling me what level of biological artifact it is?

A dragon species from ancient times, a super precious fusion artifact, or a mythical beast or demon beast?

If you don't want to tell me because of your loyalty to your employer, you can tell me the origin of this experimental subject, and I will see if I can get a similar one."

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he keenly guessed from Shirley's few words what type of experimental subject she was talking about, and Ita asked with interest.

"It's an ancient dragon artifact, and it's a particularly troublesome evil dragon. If you want to get involved, do it now. It will probably be snatched away by the evil dragons of the Disaster Group after the plan starts tomorrow."

"An experimental result is being watched by two groups of people. The mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole waits behind. This group of terrorists is really interesting. Shirley, who works for so many forces, is also interesting. In the words of my Master, you are Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses..."

Knowing how much of a fool Shirley's current employers were, Ita couldn't help but chuckle. The evil forces involved included the Group of Misfortune, the Cult of Diablo, the Fallen Angel cadres, and Netheril. But how many of these terrorist forces, which were first-class villains both in reputation and in reality, could get the desired rewards in the plans of the two of them?

"I don't know what you're trying to say, but if you don't want to come and join me, then give me my tools back and I can do it myself."

"An evil dragon test subject, I really want it, but forget about getting it tonight, I have more urgent experiments to do here.

But... the evil dragon is going to be taken away so I can't touch it. Can you give me a few pieces of meat from the heavenly dragon upstairs for experiments? The value of a heavenly dragon is much higher than that of an ordinary evil dragon."

Shirley, who had already walked to Ita's side, stopped when she heard this and looked at the purple-haired elf in front of her with suspicion.

"You...are you regretting it?"

Instead of answering directly, Ita just tilted her head to express her confusion, as if she didn't understand what Shirley meant at all.

"Many people think they are not afraid of death, but when death really comes, they kneel on the ground and beg the god of death to let them go."

How would a person who is about to die behave?

Shirley didn't know that her own template could not be applied to others, but it was definitely not like Ita, who leisurely booked enough materials for several years of research experiments.

"Don't compare me to that kind of people. I am just a group of animals who are controlled by their own bodies and cannot transcend their survival instincts with their own obsessions.

Master once said that humans are human because they can control themselves, and those who cannot even control their own instincts are nothing more than animals in human skin.

And my obsession with the Master surpasses anyone else in this world, including you."

It was still Itana's signature lazy tone, but Shirley could clearly see the madness hidden deep in Itana's eyes.

"I see. I'm sorry for doubting you, Ita. I'm a little too suspicious."

"Not a bad apology. You're much better than those animals who would deny it for the sake of face. You might as well say that it's already been insured. I can't get away with it."

Smiling, he raised his right arm, the patterns on Ita's wrist with strange magical symbols glowing.

"Compared to my little problem, Shirley, who is clearly in a bad state right now, you are the one who needs to be alert, right?"

"Thank you, you know, Ita, I always regard you as my closest friend, it's me who is a little nervous..."

After being reminded by Ita, Shirley realized that meeting Sid today had affected her mood, so she hurriedly dispersed.

"Stop, I'm not interested in your personal affairs. Now go in and get your things."

As he spoke, Ita opened the door, and the slime liquid on his body turned into tentacles to push Shirley in.

"Thank you... Ita, the funds you took today..."

Shirley quickly found what she wanted, walked out of the room, thanked Ita, but suddenly seemed to think of something and mentioned other places.

"You suspect I took too much?!"

"…I'm just afraid it will affect the plan."

Looking behind Ita, at the laboratory filled with experimental equipment and materials, Shirley could only speak tactfully.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything that will affect the plan."

"……I trust you."

Looking at Shirley's leaving figure, Ita turned his head to look at his own laboratory. In the area that Shirley could not touch, the full of experimental materials and instruments also flashed at this moment, as if a computer screen suddenly short-circuited.

"I won't do anything that will affect the plan, so I'll do it as long as it doesn't affect the plan."

With a slight smile on his lips, Ita turned around, closed the door and walked outside.

…………

Is there a thief in my house?

This thought occurred to Sid as he stared blankly at the living room, which was in a mess as if it had been hit by a typhoon.

"Ah, Mr. Sid, you're back, I'll clean it up right away!"

Asia, who was kneeling on the floor tidying up the room with a headscarf tied on her head, poked her head out of the bedroom and spoke with an embarrassed look on her face.

“Uh… there’s no rush, Asia, can you tell me what happened at home?

Why is it so messy? There are sword marks on the wall, as if something had blown it up."

"Um……"

Asia rolled her head sheepishly and looked towards the door of Ita's room.

Following Asia's gaze, Sid saw a heroic girl wearing a combat tights and with a hint of green in her short blue hair lying on the ground, with a sword stuck in the floor beside her.

"Xenovia? Why is she here? No, why did she faint?"

Cid, who recognized who the girl was, was even more confused. Ever since Xenovia and Shidou Irina left with the church warriors who attacked Rias and the others the day before, this stupid duo never came back. Why did they suddenly come back now?

"Well, Miss Xenovia, she just came back suddenly and said she was looking for something.

I asked her if we could wait for Mr. Sid to come back before we could go together, but Xenovia was very anxious and said she didn't need it and started looking for him.

Then Xenovia asked if she could enter Miss Ita's room. I remembered that Miss Ita said this morning that she could go in by herself if she wanted to, and there was nothing private in the room, so I nodded. Then a robot this tall jumped out and fought with Xenovia, and finally knocked Xenovia unconscious, scanned her, and disappeared. "

At the end, even though she knew she was talking about something that happened to someone else, there was still a hint of fear in Asia's eyes. If Xenovia hadn't opened the door for her, she would be the one lying on the ground now.

You are really getting more and more skilled at sting operations, Ita.

After knowing the whole story, Sid nodded as if he understood everything. He was the one who taught Ita this trick.

He didn't care about the robot that scanned Xenovia's entire body. It was just a little joke played by Ita, something he used to play often.

Ita is probably the most special one among the seven Kage. Besides always giving him surprises, she also keeps saying things like there is no life higher than him in the world, and that she is secretly conducting evil experiments on the seven Kage, including herself.

However, Ita is actually a big talker, the kind of person who has the intention but not the courage to do something evil. What he did could at most be considered a prank. Otherwise, with all the magical tools Ita has made, Ita could kill the other six by himself without any scruples.

"Um, Mr. Sid, what should Xenovia do now?"

Asia asked nervously, her eyes moving back and forth between Xenovia and Cid, looking at a loss.

"Well, that's easy. Just wake her up."

He walked quickly to the unconscious Xenovia, made a snapping gesture with his fingers, and flicked it lightly on Xenovia's forehead, and then...

"Ow!"

He smiled as he watched the unconscious Xenovia scream and hit her head on the ceiling like a frightened cat. After landing, she kept rolling over while covering the part of her body that was hit by the bullet.

"Hmm... Sid-kun? Why am I here and why does my head hurt so much?"

After rolling for a while, Xenovi finally recovered. She pulled out the holy sword beside her, covered her forehead with her hands, and asked the person she was most familiar with with confused eyes.

"I should be the one asking you why you are here, this is my home!

I don't know why your head hurts so much, I just flicked it lightly and you became like this, maybe it's your own problem."

Sid knew very well why he had lied to Xenovia. Just now, his fingers were in a superposition state of soul and body. It was a physical and soul double attack. If there was no firm will or direct action on the soul protection mechanism, it would be a fixed real damage that ignored the strength.

“…It seems that I did come here on my own, but why am I here?”

Ita, I hope what you created this time will have an amnesiac effect.

Seeing Xenovia actually standing there with her arms folded thinking, Sid rolled his eyes, wondering if Ita had come up with something incredible again. The last time he met Ita, he seemed to have come up with a project and wanted to get him to invest...

"I remembered!"

Xenovia's voice suddenly shouted, interrupting Sid's memories, and at the same time a pulling force came from the front.

"Boom!"

With a very unpleasant look on her face, Jellowei pulled Sid's sleeve and quickly walked to the side, looking down at Sid in a wall-dong position.

"Give me the stuff."

The voice was so faint that if Sid didn't have super hearing, he wouldn't even be able to hear what Novia was saying.

"Ok?"

"Don't play dumb! Sid-kun, you and I both know what I'm talking about."

"Oh... Are you talking about the one filled with apologies and all the bad things you've done, which looks like a will written by an idiot who hasn't even graduated from chuunibana yet?"

Pretending to be suddenly enlightened, Sid clapped his hands and looked at Xenovia with burning eyes.

"……Correct."

After a long silence, Xenovi nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been keeping this for you."

As soon as she took out a piece of paper from her pocket, Xenovia took it directly, and the light power in her hand rolled and instantly destroyed the will.

"Sid-kun, you don't know what's written in it, right?"

After destroying the body, Xenovia lowered her head and looked at Sid with a gloomy tone.

"Do you believe me when I say no?"

"You don't know what's in it, do you?"

"…There has to be a limit to deceiving yourself and others."

"Sid, I treat you as a friend, don't force me to give you a set of amnestics for slandering the church warriors!"

"Ah!"

Chapter 213: Delta's Disruption and Xenovia's Stay

What is the best way to exercise self-control?

Is it climbing trees and treading water? Is it the heart that calms the water in the storm? Is it the reason that calmly fights in the absolute pain?

Sid does not deny that these are valuable training methods, but will blindly getting used to a negative combat environment lead to a rebound?

Just like the triple magic power forging method, crushing the body and then manipulating the magic power to grow a stronger body to replace it, enduring the pain of the body being crushed to complete this series of operations can indeed greatly improve control, but...

The body's desire for comfort increases with long-term pain, and the increasing intensity will reduce his tolerance for this.

Just as people who live in darkness often desire light far more than ordinary people, sometimes being able to endure intense pain and pressure does not mean being able to suppress extreme happiness.

Is there any way to solve this problem? Of course there is!

Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but about controlling whether you want to do it or not while being able to do it.

Following this philosophy, Sid chose to have it all when it came to exercising his control.

Just like there is a vampire who can stop time for five seconds and wants to rule the world, there is someone who can stop time indefinitely but just wants to have some fun.

So, there is only one answer...

"Sid, sir, here's your tea."

"Ah, thank you Asia... the tea is delicious."

Sid took a sip of the black tea brought by Asia and praised Asia with a smile.

Please don't take his random thoughts too seriously; they are just his normal divergent thinking.
