Chapter 577: The Chaotic Dragon World
The Professor's eyes trembled. He forcibly controlled his mind to not become chaotic due to fear. Because he had already done psychological construction in advance, he still maintained his composure at this time.
Yes, he knew from the start that his thoughts would be read by Mercenary Tao.
So it was after concrete consideration, believing it was acceptable for these pieces of information to be acquired by Mercenary Tao, that he proactively came before Mercenary Tao.
"An ordinary [Dragon King] naturally won't do, but the [Dragon King] of that world possesses possibility!"
The Professor spoke, while simultaneously turning over a large amount of information in his mind, proactively letting Mercenary Tao read it.
Although this method of communication was crude, its efficiency was indeed much higher than verbal communication.
The reason [Azure Sky] chose Mercenary Tao was, on the one hand, because in the simulation, Mercenary Tao could perfectly endure that bloodline potion.
But the bigger reason was that potion itself.
The former Scarlet Great Sin [Excessive Slaughter] · Xu Zhiyu mastered a channel to enter a certain high-level world, and obtained a portion of a Dragon King's blood marrow from it!
This news probably cost the [Azure Sky] team a price close to 1 S-Class Singularity in value.
Including but not limited to performing high-level prophecies, high-level gems consumed by directly obtaining information from the Space through the [High Priestess] card, and so on.
Before they made a move against that Scarlet Great Sin, the other party "coincidentally" was killed one step ahead by another Scarlet Great Sin, Mercenary Tao.
Both the bloodline item and the item for stable entry into that world were obtained by Mercenary Tao.
Azure Sky logically found Mercenary Tao, obtaining the opportunity to meet the conditions to enter [Little Garden] by only needing to trade with one person.
And at the same time, that Mercenary Tao, who originally had little to do with this matter, also thereby obtained the opportunity to enter a high-level world like [Little Garden].
This matter contained very many "coincidences," making the Professor often unable to distinguish whether it was the President's [Miracle] producing an effect, or if some kind of destiny-side, causality-type ability was at play in secret.
"Oh, that world is very special?"
A flash of light in Kaito Shirogane's hand, and a [Hearthstone] appeared. This thing had actually been somewhat forgotten by him.
[Hearthstone]
[Quality: Incomparably Rare]
[Description: A special item widely circulated in a certain magic world, possessing the power to twist time and space]
[Effect 1: Can record a certain space-time coordinate. After activating the item, can be teleported to the coordinate space-time (Current recorded coordinate is (λ=116.4°, φ=39.9°, r=6371km, t=1435 years))]
[Effect 2: After using this item once, it must wait for charging (29/30)]
[Do you want to overwrite the Hearthstone's recorded coordinate?]
Previously, Kaito Shirogane only felt that this coordinate corresponded to the [Dragon Raja World] capable of producing that kind of Dragon King blood marrow.
As Kaito Shirogane's power level grew higher and higher, not only the Dragon King's bloodline, but even that world itself, Kaito Shirogane somewhat looked down upon.
In front of absolute power, no matter how fancy the Kotodama and Dragon King Authority were, they couldn't be considered overly rare things.
Only now, it seemed this information had changed again.
And...
Kaito Shirogane narrowed his eyes, looking at this weak [Card] sequence holder.
"Professor, I remember the card you hold is one that allows you to obtain special information. You coming to me at this time is because you saw exactly that the cooldown of this item is about to end..."
[Information], again [Information]!
Kaito Shirogane increasingly perceived how important the word "Information" was in the Space. The things the Professor's sequence seemed able to do were far more than just collecting information; at this time, it seemed more like a combination of abilities like [Prophecy].
Even item information that he himself was about to forget, he could know, and appear just at the right moment...
Professor Ye Kai's heart beat wildly. Bumps appeared one by one on his skin due to that fleeting killing intent. At this moment, the Mercenary Tao before him was long past the Mercenary Tao from the Demon Slayer world back then.
If Mercenary Tao made a move back then, he still had the confidence to use the [Invisibility Cloak] to dodge and deal with it. The Mercenary Tao at this moment could already instantly kill him at will.
Facing this kind of monster, all he could do was... maintain sincerity!
"Not bad. This is also a part of our trade, Your Excellency Mercenary Tao!"
"Recorded in that [Hearthstone] is a special Secondary World, a world twisted by multiple Observers..."
"Regarding [Observers]..."
Sizzle!
A streak of electric light passed through the Professor's hair, making him spasm for an instant, his words also interrupted.
He suddenly felt a stinging pain in his scalp. The space in front of his eyes emptied out, and the back of his head was already pressed by a finger.
Mercenary Tao's voice sounded by his ear.
"Don't speak. Let me see for myself..."
A current of electricity pierced through his brain, and the Professor's brain immediately became more active. He began involuntarily recalling various data related to that world.
Ordinary Secondary Worlds are mostly formed by the collision of some similar worldviews and worldlines during operation, thereby generating fusion, ultimately producing a large-scale world.
Just like that Secondary World B711, which had now become notorious because famous Reincarnators like Eternal Destiny, Mercenary Tao, and Tang Sanzang violated the Iron Law inside, it had now become a Reincarnator restricted zone.
That world is exactly a new world generated after the collision of multiple similar worlds.
But there are also some special worlds. Because they are simultaneously observed by multiple high-dimensional Observers, multiple power systems blend and collide.
Multiple high-dimensional powers interact and wrestle in the same world, ultimately making a world chaotic and nearly collapsing.
That is also a Secondary World, and even more dangerous, while simultaneously possessing more forms of power...
Nowadays, most of the [Stairways] are unearthed from that kind of world.
Seeing that a weak guy like the [Professor] actually even knew about [Stairways], Kaito Shirogane attached even more importance to the special sequence ability granted by that kind of card.
He only recalled at this time that the activation method for his [Tarot · The World · Reversed (XXI)] card had still not been found.
The Tarot sequence is prepared for the Chosen Ones, so the activation method will highly likely still need to be found in that [Mandate of Heaven] assembly.
At this time, he is no longer that nobody from the past. Thinking about it, there should be High-tier Chosen Ones in the [Mandate of Heaven] organization who can answer his doubts.
He continued to activate the Professor's brain domain through the magnetic field and electric current, attempting to see more information.
He saw a pitch-black world where humans died on a large scale in war, plagues began to spread, and accompanying death and despair came some kind of terrifying and grotesque will, appearing above the world.
And the Dragon King entrenched above human society spread all his scales, roaring silently at the terrifying existence in the sky.
Blood potions, hybrids, blind idiocy born of fear;
Dragon Kings, heroes, and evil gods awakened due to the twisting...
Thump.
Kaito Shirogane released his hand. The Professor, whose hair had long stood on end, face twisted, drool and snot flowing down together, collapsed limply to the ground.
His body was difficult to load due to the excessive electric shock.
Kaito Shirogane, however, didn't care at all about his life or death, merely saying:
"Since you want to enter that world so much, tomorrow, bring enough gems."
"I will take you inside... that world..."
Of course, it wasn't his conscience discovering he needed to compensate the Professor, but he realized the Professor's ability was quite convenient.
With a wave of his hand, Artoria appeared from the air, grabbed the Professor, and flew down the high tower.
Leaving Kaito Shirogane alone, looking at the Hearthstone and blood marrow in his hands.
"That kind of world... is the absolute best~"
Kaito Shirogane liked chaos, liked danger.
