My portable grandfather refreshes every week

On the Baron's side.

Endless resentment and rage enveloped the blood-stained knight. He was originally destined to become a monster under the distortion of the Seventh Apostle's power of fear, a bizarre knight whose core was revenge and slaughter, and who would spend the rest of his life frantically hunting down those veterans, while providing the Seventh Apostle with the power of fear.

However, this process of becoming a vengeful ghost was stopped; his soul was retrieved by Xue's Law and then underwent evolution.

However, the anger and resentment he felt before his death did not disappear; these violent thoughts still lingered in his mind.

But then, to his astonishment, he found himself not dead, but sitting in his city guard office, covered in blood.

Was everything before just a dream?
The baron's dying resentment and violence vanished in an instant, leaving only bewilderment.

No, it can't be a dream. How could there be such a vivid dream?

He could remember everything in his dream and feel everything in it. It wasn't a dream; he had really been to an island of vengeful spirits and experienced a deadly adventure there with a few strangers.

And now, he has successfully returned to his hometown, back to the place where he just killed the viscount and his family of three.

"I killed a noble family of three..." he laughed, mocking himself, even though he had returned, it was all for naught.

He killed a family of demons, and in doing so, he was stained with their blood and transformed into a monster.

In the empire, the law was useless to the nobles, who could only be rewarded or punished by the royal family. Therefore, even though thousands of skeletons were found under the viscount's house, they were only demoted and exiled, which was what angered him.

So he took matters into his own hands.

"I estimate that the royal family will soon discover the dead viscount, and his own trial is imminent..." he murmured, already prepared for this. Once the knight is stained with the blood of a demon, he too will gradually become another demon.

His title, his family, and everything else might be stripped away, and he, having lost his noble status, might suffer unimaginable retribution.

In the present empire, which noble family isn't related by marriage?

However, he had already made such preparations, so let's go!
"Squeak..." The office door was pushed open, and the subordinate cleaning the room immediately exclaimed, "City Guard Officer, you're finally back! Something big has happened in the capital recently, and you've become a celebrity!"

baron:"?"

Seeing his superior's puzzled expression, the small town guard immediately explained to him.

It turned out that the Baron had been missing for four days. During those four days, the viscount's mangled corpse was naturally discovered, and the emperor was furious, so he ordered a city-wide search for the Baron.

But in reality, the Emperor wanted to protect this baron in secret. In fact, the Emperor planned to use this viscount's family to lure out a bigger fish. He suspected that there might be more sinister forces behind this viscount who were digging up the roots of the empire, and even ambushing his entire family on the way to exile.

However, now that the plan has been thwarted, we have no choice but to play along, but the result is good.

The emperor investigated all those involved, including his own appointed ministers, and found that they were all involved in the human trafficking operation, which enraged the emperor.

Further investigation revealed that the minister had secretly placed someone by his side to administer slow-acting poison.

This discovery immediately caused a huge uproar, and the entire empire instantly descended into a brutal and bloody political struggle.

Finally, the emperor purged all the ministers and their cronies, killing countless people, skinning tens of thousands alive, and burning them in a final fire.

As a result, a large number of official and noble positions became vacant in the capital. As the one who ignited this political struggle, he was posthumously granted the title of hereditary earl and also received many honorary medals.

baron:"??"

Who am I? Where am I? Is this still the empire?
He only went to the Island of Vengeful Spirits for 4 days, how did it completely turn into something I can't understand?

While he was completely stunned, the others were not.

Since their leader went from being a city guard officer to a count, they could at least get some benefits. Even if they didn't become nobles, they could at least become minor knights.

If all else fails, becoming a knight's squire is also a way for them to advance in social class.

So he staged another scene of being crowned emperor. When the emperor learned that the trigger hadn't died but had survived by hiding somewhere, he checked the guy's resume and immediately thought the kid was interesting.

So they decided to hire him as the princes' martial arts instructor.

This was a benefit that almost stunned the Baron.

He became a hereditary earl and also served as a martial arts instructor for the princes, which was far beyond what he could have imagined.

His lifelong goal used to be simply to become a viscount.

Unbeknownst to him, a note was slowly carried into the sky by the wind, on which was written...

"Looking at your situation, I realize that once you weather these few days of political infighting, you'll naturally rise to prominence. I don't feel I have much to give you, so here's a blueprint for a steam engine, if you feel it's worthwhile to implement this technology in your country..."

—A priest who summoned a little boy

The blueprints fluttered in the wind and were picked up by a little boy. Looking at the dense mechanical processes on the blueprints, the little boy's eyes revealed a look of curiosity and longing.

"Little Watt, get ready! Your father is returning today, and the Emperor himself will be conferring the title of Earl. He will also become the princes' martial arts instructor. You'd better get ready quickly, so as not to embarrass your father!"

"Okay, Mother, I'll be right there!" The little boy quietly put away the drawing, feeling as if he had witnessed the truth of the world.

……

All three lost souls returned to their homeland, and Xue Dinglu finally revealed a satisfied smile.

"I suppose I've repaid this favor. I wish you all a bright future." He smiled, slowly lowering his omniscient perspective and erasing their coordinates.

Goodbye, perhaps never to be seen again.

The few people who met by chance also went their separate ways, which was perhaps the best ending.

After accomplishing one task, Xue Dinglu began to revel in the legacy left by the Seventh Apostle. In addition to the power of the Beast of the End he gained in this incident, he also acquired almost all of the Seventh Apostle's legacy.

Nightmare City? Now that all the inhabitants have been taken away by the Starfleet, it has become a ghost town. But it is still a subspace the size of a city. I'll take it!

Xue Lude attempted to devour Nightmare City with his own consciousness space. After a long tug-of-war, he finally succeeded. His consciousness space completely swallowed the entire Nightmare City, and the Mimic King erased all the marks within it. Now, it has become a city connected to the outside of his consciousness space.

All the materials and strange things inside were also packed up and brought over. Xue Lude took a look...

Goodness, it even comes with a lake no smaller than Qinghai Lake, and it's even a freshwater lake! Let me see...

Are there still so many strange things?
What Xue Dinglu didn't notice was that there were actually strange creatures in this Nightmare City, and quite a few of them, at least many more.

If the Seventh Apostle were still alive, he would definitely try to get rid of these strange Xue laws. The simplest way would be to give them to Su Su to eat, since her Pure Land is specifically designed for these kinds of things.

But now, the Seventh Apostle was instantly refined by the Mimic King, and the Authority of Fear was also kicked away by the Mimic King like a stray dog ​​being kicked to death.

These strange creatures and demons instantly became uncontrollable, ownerless entities...

Unlike the demons in Su Su's hometown, the demons have their own intelligence and initiative. They know what they should do and what they want to do, and they even have their own calculations and ideas.

After all, the demon in Su Su's hometown was just a "man-made god" modeled after the Seventh Apostle, a mere imitation.

These strange creatures, however, are devoid of intelligence and act solely on instinct. They merely follow the rules pre-set by the authority of fear, and at most, they only temporarily obey the authority of fear.

After the power of fear was destroyed, they were like robots that had lost their batteries.

From this perspective, aren't these strange creatures just like robots from the supernatural world?

Can it perform work? Does this mean that one can possess nuclear-powered oxen and horses within their own consciousness space?

A flood of Paradox Interactive's ideas rushed into Xue's mind. These were top-quality cattle and horses, and they absolutely could not be killed. In fact, after losing their power of fear and being completely controlled by Schrödinger, the code on their bodies had become something that Xue could modify at will.

Xue's Law is actually quite enlightened when it comes to monsters that have no thoughts or consciousness.

At most, all we need to do is seal this nightmare city to prevent these nuclear-powered cattle and horses from affecting other consciousness spaces.

Meanwhile, Xue Dinglu quickly continued to enjoy the remaining legacy of the Seventh Apostle, and sure enough, there were still many strange things in it.

These anomalies have no thoughts or consciousness; they are now like mindless robots that have lost power. Xue's Law easily modified their underlying code and sealed them away one by one.

Enjoy!

Nightmare Town? I ate it!
Hellish neighborhood? I ate it!
A creepy apartment? I ate it!
There are also tons of things like the Death Cruise, the Horror Bus, the Rule Train, and the Haunted Island—eat, eat, eat, eat!

The consciousness space rapidly expanded in an unimaginable way. Originally, the consciousness space was only about the size of New Zealand, but now, after consuming so many other subspaces, it is at least close to half the size of Fusang.

Most importantly, many of these subspaces we consumed contained a great deal of strange things, as well as water!

Originally, the consciousness space was dry. It was just a space that my mother had found in the subspace and then gave to me.

It was even a completely dead-end space.

But now there is water, even the sea!
The divine tree within the consciousness space seemed to sense the water as well, and then instinctively began to regulate the water resources throughout the entire consciousness space.

This indicates that from now on, the water cycle in the consciousness space will begin normally, bringing us one step closer to the real world.

The main problem right now is the lack of light source. They can only rely on Xue's Holy Light Sphere to make their own light source. This is why Su Su has been unable to distinguish between day and night. Because living here, it is really impossible to tell the difference between day and night. Su Su just sleeps when she is tired and scrolls through her phone when she wakes up.

He lives a life even more lazy than a girl.

And most importantly, with these strange phenomena, constructing and developing a consciousness space will become extremely simple, for example...

Generate electricity!

Xue Dinglu saw a strange creature, a creature with a Tesla coil on its head, wearing a blood-stained white robe, and its body twisted. It seemed that a high-voltage arc was constantly being drawn from its head, making it clear that this was an electrical-based creature.

For the Seventh Apostle, the only use of this bizarre creature might be to torture others with electric shocks, making them gain more fear. In fact, its appearance and all its abilities are designed to extract more fear.

But for Xue's Law, this is a treasure trove!
Xue Dinglu never officially opened the magic academy, and didn't even want to go to the magic academy to rest, because living in the inner consciousness space was too troublesome.

The simplest method is to generate electricity with magic, but Xue's Law does not know any electric magic, and the energy generated by electric magic is actually not considerable, as the frequency, waveform, and energy are difficult to control.

As for simply using magic as an energy source to generate electricity, that's something Xue Lude needs to dedicate time to researching. However, his own magical knowledge is only so-so. Let alone generating electricity with magic, if he could even complete the magic energy conversion formula, he would win the interstellar column's research award.

Even the Star Guardians currently only have a basic understanding of magic energy conversion—"I suspect this stuff can be converted"—but they don't know the specific formulas, proportions, variables affecting conversion efficiency, the origins of magic, the forms magic energy exists in, or how it performs work.

These are all questions, similar to how we don't know why aerodynamics exists on Earth, but that doesn't stop humans from using it to build airplanes.

Even the Mimic King didn't know the essence of magic energy conversion. He only said that all of this was a gift from the King, but that didn't prevent them from using it. They also learned from experience how to use it most efficiently.

As a result, the task of electrifying the magic high school was put on hold. It was possible to do so, but it was very troublesome, and Xue Dinglu was busy, so he gradually forgot about it.

In other words, Su Su's daily life of carefully budgeting her power bank usage, and Xiao Long Niang charging the power bank every week, is quite reminiscent of boarding high school students who have their classmates take their power banks home to charge.

Xue's Law immediately took action and devised a plan.

Draft on generating and maintaining electricity through mysterious means

Of course, this electric ghost's electrical energy is unstable and has many miscellaneous problems, so Xue's Law needs to consider many things.

So he immediately returned to Earth and began ordering complete sets of power generation equipment, energy storage equipment, transformers, AC inverters, rectifiers, compensators, and so on online, preparing to make a big splash in the consciousness space, along with a book titled "Electrical Engineering from Beginner to Expert."

These eerie beings, unaware of the treacherous future that lay ahead, wandered aimlessly through these sealed worlds like zombies, uttering incomprehensible sounds. (End of Chapter)
