Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3959 Ether Absorption
When Laplace heard about Ingres's experience while fishing, he concluded that "the power of fairyland is in protest."

Angel: "...You are describing the power of the fairyland in a way that is too humane."

Laplace: "But that's the truth."

Angel was silent for a moment, and said: "The power of the fairyland does not have independent consciousness. It is more based on the logic of power to make judgments."

“However, you can also understand it as a protest.”

"But in fact, I can transcend this limitation."

Although the challenge timer will stop when using the power of nightmare, the number of fish caught at this time cannot be counted.

But as long as Angle is willing, he can still achieve high scores.

For example, when time stops, you can observe the direction of the fish school, or even actively drive the fish school to the vicinity of the hook and control them to bite the bait...then cancel the nightmare illusion and end the time stop.

It is no problem to achieve higher scores through this side approach.

"But, I finally chose to give up."

Laplace: “Oh?”

Angel shrugged. "You said it's 'protesting' in this way, so I certainly can't ignore it."

The power of the fairyland acts according to logic, and its "protest" is actually a kind of "suggestion".

The bad luck of the Bitter Star is probably only borne by those who are lucky. Others who get the Bitter Star will only be eaten away by bad luck, and there is no way to free the Bitter Star from the cage of bad luck.

Even though Yanhuan has the power of transcendence, it is hard to say whether he can curb bad luck. After all, this involves the mysterious concept of fate.

So, after thinking for a moment, Ingres gave up.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, he got zero points in the first challenge, so it is basically impossible for him to get a high score in the end...

Although he gave up the Star of Sorrow, Angel also had a vague idea of ​​this "special-grade monster".

The current energy level ceiling of the Dream Crystal is not high. Special-grade monsters can affect the identification of power and even cause the power to "protest". If it is divided by energy level, it is estimated that the Sorrowful Star has already touched the current energy level ceiling.

This also gave Angel an idea: Are the fashionable monsters in the copy really all created by the power of the fairyland itself?
If the Fairyland Power created itself, it shouldn't have created a special-grade monster that touched the ceiling at this point in time, right? This could easily lead to a collapse of the power level.

If it wasn't created by the power of the fairyland...

Does it mean that fashion monsters are actually a kind of reflection?
Can we find corresponding figures like Turing and Hertz in reality?
……

"What are you thinking about?" At this time, Laplace's voice pulled Angel back from his unbridled state.

Angel was absent-minded for a moment before shaking his head: "Nothing, just thinking about some trivial things."

Angel was about to say something when suddenly, a scream came from inside the compartment door.

"cherry--"

Angel and Laplace looked at each other and quickly walked into the compartment.

But Huayuan pounced on Yingtao with a look of horror on his face.

Cherry looked motionless and seemed to have fallen into a coma.

The ether converter did not emit light at this time, but fell into silence. When Laplace walked in, the ether converter flew directly into her hand.

After Laplace took the converter, pieces of information began to appear on the text bar...

While Laplace was reading the message, Angel walked up to Flowerwish.

She seemed to think something had happened to Cherry. She was trembling all over and kept patting Cherry's face, trying to wake it up.

"Cherry, don't die..."

"Cherry, wake up and look at me."

"Ooooooh, Cherry!"

Angel watched silently for a while, then said softly, "It's not dead, it just fainted."

Huayuan was a little slow to react. She looked at Angel in a daze, then at Yingtao.

She extended her finger and tested Cherry's nostrils, making sure she could still feel the warm breath, then she breathed a sigh of relief and slumped over on the edge of the bed as if she were dehydrated.

After a long while, he stood up and said apologetically to Angel: "I'm sorry, I was too worried about Cherry and lost my composure."

Angel: "It's okay, I understand."

"What about Cherry now..." Hua Yuan looked hesitant. He wanted to ask about Cherry's situation, but was worried that the result would not be what he wanted.

Angel looked at Cherry. He was currently just an illusion body and could not sense Cherry's situation for the time being.

However, since the ether converter can be used on it, it is likely to relieve Cherry's symptoms.

At this time, Laplace came over and said, "Don't worry, Cherry's condition should have improved."

"Really?" Huayuan looked at Laplace.

Laplace nodded: "When it wakes up, you will know."

As he spoke, Laplace came to Angel and whispered, "Look at the team chat channel."

Angel subconsciously glanced at the team chat channel.

I found that Laplace shared a "log" in the team chat.

When I clicked on it, I found that it was actually the usage log of the Ethereum converter.

It turns out that after the Ethernet converter is used, a corresponding log will be generated? Angel opened the log with curiosity and started reading it.

"The ether converter is entering preheating mode."

“Beep—”

"Beginning to search the etheric environment."

"No etheric environment found."

“Beep—”

"If a target containing etheric energy is found, should we absorb the etheric energy from it?"

"Absorption confirmed."

The above is the usage log generated when Laplace started the Ether Converter.

When the Ethernet converter was recycled just now, a new log was generated.

"Absorbed."

"Absorbed a total of 0.2% of etheric energy. There is still 0.01% of etheric energy remaining in the target, but it is not pure enough to be converted into etheric energy because it has not been fused with flesh and blood."

After reading the usage log, Ingres suddenly realized that the reason why Laplace was so sure that Cherry's condition had improved was because it was clearly recorded in the log.

Almost 0.1% of Cherry's etheric energy was absorbed, leaving only % of it. From this point of view, Cherry's etheric disease was not completely cured, but at least % to % was recovered.

Laplace also told Huayuan about the situation at this time.

"The vast majority of the etheric energy has been removed, but..." Laplace paused, "There is still a small amount of etheric energy that has merged with Cherry's flesh and blood. We can't remove this part at the moment."

Hua Yuan was completely surrounded by surprise at this moment. Cherry's condition had never improved over the years. Even if she didn't recover this time, she felt it was worth it as long as there was a slight progress.

"I, I understand. This is good enough." Huayuan kept thanking Laplace and Angel.

While she was expressing her thanks, Cherry, who had been in a coma, slowly woke up.

As soon as it woke up, Huayuan rushed forward, comforted Cherry with tears in her eyes, and asked about its condition.

Cherry was still confused at first, but when Huayuan held her in her arms, her thoughts slowly came back to her senses. Thinking of the suffering she had endured before, she couldn't help but feel wronged, so she stretched out her short hands and sobbed as she wrapped her arms around Huayuan's neck.

The two sentimental creatures hugged each other, cried, and expressed their true feelings to each other.

Judging from their situations, it is unlikely that they will stop in a short period of time.

Angel and Laplace looked at each other, decided to leave the space to them for now, and left the compartment.

Outside.

Angel and Laplace chatted casually about the usage log of the ether converter.

After chatting for a while, Angel suddenly paused and waved to Laplace: "Wait for me for a moment, I have some small things to deal with in my main body."

Laplace nodded noncommittally.

Angel closed his eyes and returned to his main body.

Angel's real body was still in the canoe in the underground lake. Although the challenge failed, he did not leave immediately. Anyway, he had nothing to do for the time being, so he let the canoe drift.

Two dark shadows hovered under the canoe, seeming to measure something.

Suddenly, they jumped out from the water, showing their sharp fangs, and pounced towards Angel.

But Angel was well prepared and knocked them out with two big slaps.

The two beasts that emerged from the water were none other than... Undercurrent Dogs.

When Angel was fishing before, he noticed that there were undercurrent dogs roaming underwater, and even a "bull monster" lying in the mud.

However, the bull monster seemed to have no interest in the boats floating on the lake.

However, after wandering around for ten minutes, the undercurrent dog took Angel as its target of attack. As a result, it failed to achieve its goal and landed on the boat.

Angel was not interested in paying attention to the two unconscious Undercurrent Dogs. He controlled his magic hand and threw them into the lake. Then his thoughts began to rise slowly and he entered a God's perspective.

The "little thing" he had mentioned to Laplace before was not the attack by the Undercurrent Dog. ——Forget the Undercurrent Dog, even if it was the attack by the Bull Monster, it would not be a big deal.

The "little thing" he mentioned refers to contacting Lizzie.

Not long ago, when Cherry and Huayuan were hugging and crying, Angel sensed that the nightmare aura he had left with Lizzie was moving.

It should be that Lizzie came to see him for something.

There are two things happening on Lizzie's side right now. Either there are further clues about the side quest "Going Home", or Vera is here to come clean.

No matter what the matter is, Angel needs to handle it.

After Angel turned on the God's perspective, he quickly locked onto Lizzie's position.

What surprised Angel was that this time Lizzie was not at Tina Entertainment, but in a cafe in the central area.

Lizzie sat by the window. Outside was a pedestrian street with people coming and going.

She lowered her head and quietly drank the coffee in her hand, her brows furrowed.

Angel was quite surprised to see Lizzie like this. In his impression, Lizzie was very outgoing and frank, but at this moment, Lizzie looked very low-key and well-behaved, like a little white rabbit meeting a fox.

In fact, Lizzie did meet an "old fox".

Opposite her, an elegant old lady with silver hair, wearing a silk dress and a pure white lace scarf around her neckline, was also drinking coffee.

But compared to Lizzie's cautiousness and obedience, she always maintained an elegant smile, staring at Lizzie, as if she was observing her every detail and movement.

This person is none other than the former president of the Fashion Guild and the true ruler of the Dark Round Table: the “Lord of Darkness” Vera Montclair.

"We've been talking for so long, but you still look very reserved." Vera's voice was clear and had a charming magnetism.

Lizzie didn't dare to look up. Although Vera was no longer the president of the Fashion Guild, the power she possessed should not be underestimated.

Facing such a big shot, it was already quite good that she could remain calm and not tremble.

"I, I'm a slow person." Lizzie said against her will.

Since Vera came to see Liz, she must have known all of Liz's information. Facing Liz's words, she just chuckled: "By the way, I heard that you turned the Tina Building upside down these two days and pulled down several managers."

Lizzie nodded silently.

Since Angel told her that the female corpse under the cleaning room was not an isolated case, there were many more bodies hidden in the entire Tina Building.

Lizzie herself was a person with a strong sense of justice, so if she didn't know, that would be fine. Now that she had learned the truth from Angell and even knew the location of the bodies, she naturally wanted to do something for the dead.

As a result, there were investigations on the top of the building and retrials of old cases.

After her efforts, although all the bodies in the building had not been found, the murderer of two or three bodies had been caught.

All of them are executive-level figures.

"I..." Lizzie lowered her head: "Did I do something wrong?"

Lizzie didn't explain the situation, but she believed that since Vera brought up the matter, she must have investigated the inside story.

Just as Lizzie expected, Vera had already received the tip-off and knew everything.

Vera chuckled: "Whether it's right or not, just follow your heart."

"Sincerely?" Lizzie was stunned and looked up at Vera.

"If you think what you are doing is right, then it is right." Vera: "If you yourself don't think what you are doing is right, then what answer can you get from asking others, including me?"

Lizzie lowered her head, as if thinking.

After a moment, she said softly, "I have always believed that what I do comes from my heart, is just, and is the right thing to do."

"So, I am right, and I don't need other people's approval."

Vera's eyes flashed with admiration, but she quickly withdrew: "However, if you do this kind of thing in a big way, it will easily break."

When Vera was reading the intelligence, she saw Lizzie running to smash the wall in broad daylight, attracting countless people to watch, but she stroked her forehead for a long time.

Lizzie: "I know it's not good to do it so blatantly, but many..." The corpses are hidden in plain sight.

Vera interrupted Lizzie halfway through her words, "I don't care what you do, but I can tell you a piece of news. Two days later, Tina Entertainment will have an internal performance as a preview of the fashion show. By then, many people should come to participate..."

Vera paused when she said this.

But Lizzie had understood Vera's hint. It was definitely not okay to be blatant, but if no one was around, then it would be okay to be a little more blatant.

Lizzie nodded and said no more, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Vera was less timid.

At least from Vera's conversation just now, Lizzie sensed some kindness.
