My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 599 Little Black Cat

This is a massive palace located at the center of the third universe in the first layer of deep space.

The entire palace seemed to be forged from light, with a swirling mist of light surrounding it.

This is the most mysterious place in the Third Universe. Even the Star Lords and High Priests of the Empire are unaware of its existence.

Because it is the dwelling place of the third will.

In this grand hall, which seemed to be forged from light, coiled up a giant python. The python was entirely silver-white, and every scale was as smooth, shiny, and polished as if it were pure silver. Its head was triangular, somewhat like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. In addition to the eyes on its head, it also had one eye on each side of its neck. Previously, it had closed all four eyes and remained motionless, as if it were hibernating.

Suddenly, its body trembled violently, its four eyes snapped open, and a large amount of silver blood gushed out from between its scales.

"Woohoo!"

The giant python let out a shrill roar, which shook the entire hall.

"What kind of technique is this? It not only destroyed my clone, but it even injured my main body?"

The giant python emitted a deep growl.

It is the Third Will.

One of the nine great wills of the first layer of deep space.

In the first layer of deep space, the nine wills each govern a universe independently, without interfering with each other. They are very ancient and mysterious, rarely appearing, but without a doubt, they are all extremely powerful.

Take this third universe for example. Its true form is actually the king of a cosmic behemoth, who has been the will of deep space for countless years.

He hasn't left this palace for 30,000 years.

Because he doesn't need to leave, he can know everything in the third universe simply by staying in this palace.

The entire Palace of Light is the largest deep space probe in the Third Universe, which can be called the main unit. It has existed since ancient times. Whoever can enter this palace and obtain core control of it can become the will of deep space.

There are nine such palaces in the entire first layer of deep space, so the number of deep space wills is nine.

"What exactly is that inexplicably appearing seven-colored river? Why can't I, as the Will of Deep Space, deduce it? And where did that Black Card Emperor go?"

The image of him being swept away and submerged by the seven-colored river flashed in the enormous four eyes of the Third Will. As the will of deep space, he wielded the super deep space probe passed down from ancient times and could access the deep space database at any time. There were very few things he did not know, but the seven-colored river was truly elusive. Even this radiant palace could not analyze it, nor could it even be recorded.

The Third Will also realized that it must be a power that transcended his level. The person who could use such a power must be at the level of the Heaven-Treading, the Daoless, and the Inconceivable. It was definitely not the power of the Black Card Emperor himself, but must have been borrowed by him.

"Faced with that power, let alone my little black cat clone, even my true body would certainly not be able to withstand it head-on. And even if the clone withstood it, after being destroyed, it actually affected my true body, causing me to suffer serious injuries. Black Card Emperor, what a Black Card Emperor! But you're doomed too!"

The Third Will grinned menacingly.

He took the initiative to kill the Black Card Emperor, not giving him time to grow, because the Black Card Emperor was indeed extraordinary and grew too fast, making him wary.

The Hall of Radiance, through its detection, analysis, and calculations, has determined that he is a growing supreme divine being capable of merging with deep space data to become stronger. In the eyes of the Third Will, such an existence must be eliminated as soon as possible, and it is only right that it personally takes action.

Although it appears he escaped using the seven-colored river, the Third Will is certain he won't live much longer, because he has already infected the Black Card Emperor with a virus.

This virus will infiltrate the Black Card Emperor's database, continuously performing meaningless calculations to generate a large amount of junk data. This data will eventually fill up the Black Card Emperor's memory, causing his death.

This virus is incurable and has no cure. It was created by combining the venom of the Third Will with the methods of the Deep Space Will, specifically to kill divine beings like the Black Card Emperor who can steal Deep Space data.

The Third Will was very confident in the virus, predicting that no matter where the Black Card Emperor fled, he would eventually perish and die a violent death!

At this moment, Zhou Nan, who had already arrived in the first universe, had already sensed the existence of the virus.

"I've got a virus, and it's trying to corrupt my database!"

Zhou Nan felt that the data in his database was increasing rapidly.

He could sense that the data in his database was increasing rapidly, and that the data being added was all meaningless junk data or duplicate data. Their appearance made Zhou Nan feel a headache coming on.

"This won't do. My memory will be filled up by all this junk data, and the newly added junk data will also affect the divinity of my cards..."

Zhou Nan frowned. He didn't have any good solutions for the virus at the moment, so he could only keep picking out and deleting the newly added junk data.

However, the useless calculations kept going, and the amount of junk data kept increasing at an ever-faster rate, with the rate of additions outpacing the rate of deletion.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Nan disregarded everything else and fixed Chiyang Mountain in the first layer of deep space, letting Zhou Xiaonan and the others move around on their own. He sat alone on the mountaintop, deleting junk data while thinking about how to save himself.

To save ourselves, we must first find the virus, understand it, and comprehend its operating mechanism in order to eradicate it.

Two days later, Zhou Nan looked haggard, his strange eyes were red, and he had entered a state of madness.

In a daze, he seemed to see the world inside his body.

Amidst the chaos, there were six enormous towers.

The six towers are identical in appearance, shining with different colors of light: white, green, blue, purple, orange, and black!

They are Zhou Nan's six card collections!

The white tower stores information about white cards, the green tower stores information about green cards, and so on.

The tower is divided into nine levels. The first level stores information on one-star cards, and the ninth level stores information on nine-star cards, all categorized and organized in a clear and orderly manner.

These six towers occupy a portion of Zhou Nan's memory, but only a small part.

Above these nine towers is a huge sphere of light. That sphere is Zhou Nan's database, containing the data he has integrated, including data from the [Floral Civilization], [Beast Civilization], and [Vast Civilization]. It occupies a large amount of Zhou Nan's memory.

This database is the foundation for Zhou Nan to unleash the divinity of the cards. The data stored inside is like "principles" and "formulas." With its support, Zhou Nan can perform calculations and create real cards with a single thought.

This database is protected; it's like a locked room with a lock on the outside. The only key to open it is the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword was the old name; now it's called the Emperor Sword, which, in other words, refers to Zhou Nan's divine power.

There was a little black cat, exactly like the one from the third universe, trying to enter the database. It meowed and looked fiercely cute, scratching and biting at the data sphere, but it just couldn't get in.

Although it couldn't access the database, the little black cat could enter the six towers. Zhou Nan seemed to see it sneaking into the six towers, stealing cards one by one, repeatedly copying those cards, and randomly throwing them away, causing the number of cards in the six towers to increase continuously, thus generating junk data and duplicate data, causing Zhou Nan's card library to occupy more and more memory.

Zhou Nan seemed to see himself in the same way, helplessly following behind the little black cat, trying to collect the cards it had copied, then throwing them away and destroying them, but he couldn't catch the little black cat.

"The little black cat is the virus. Does it have independent consciousness? Don't I have an immune system to kill this virus?"

Zhou Nan racked his brains, and a day later, he tried to communicate with the little black cat in the world inside his body. However, the little black cat ignored him and just slipped into the towers to copy cards to its heart's content.

Then, Zhou Nan tried to surround and intercept the little black cat, hoping to catch it, but it was not easy. The little black cat was very agile and alert.

Time passed slowly, and Zhou Nan immersed himself in his inner world. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this month, the little black cat turned Zhou Nan's card collection upside down. It copied cards at an extremely fast speed. Although Zhou Nan still couldn't catch the little black cat after more than a month of hard work, he was able to delete duplicate cards much faster, basically keeping up with the speed at which the little black cat copied cards.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Nan focuses all his efforts on deleting cards, he can barely maintain his database and prevent his memory from being occupied by more cards.

However, this meant that Zhou Nan was so busy deleting duplicate data that he couldn't do anything else. And if he relaxed even slightly and lost track of the little black cat, it would be a real problem.

The little black cat was a bit annoyed. It seemed to know that the cards it copied would be quickly identified and discarded, so it started looking for other ways to increase the data.

It has to be said that this little black cat is very clever, like an evolving virus. Two months later, it actually learned how to synthesize cards.

The little black cat randomly draws cards from the card pool and combines them into brand new cards. Moreover, the combination follows certain principles, which are very similar to Zhou Nan's previous professional talent [Black Card Combination] in the Void of Imagination. It is also a combination of combining cards by matching characters, but it is not very particular. The prefix and suffix of the new card may not be the same, the star rating of the new card is the average of all the material cards, the color is always black, and its attributes are also related to the material cards.

"How did this little black cat learn to synthesize black cards? Did it do it all by itself? Is it the Black Card Emperor, or am I the Black Card Emperor?"

Zhou Nan was extremely frustrated. The amount of data generated by the little black cat playing card synthesis, as well as the memory occupied by synthesizing black cards, was exaggerated, much more than that of copying cards.

Moreover, the synthesized black cards are difficult to distinguish between real and fake, which greatly reduces Zhou Nan's efficiency in picking them out and deleting them.

Zhou Nan pondered that there were no enhancement materials in the void of consciousness, otherwise the little black cat might have been able to enhance the cards.

"I don't know if these black cards the little black cat synthesized will even work. All it synthesized were black cards, so I can't even imagine how they would turn out..."

On this day, Zhou Nan suddenly became curious. With a thought, the attribute information of a card appeared in his mind.

The card is called "Obsessed with Women - I'm Willing".

Card Name: Obsessed with Women - I'm Willing

Card color: Black

Card star rating: Nine stars

Usage Level: None

Mana cost: None

Note 1: This card has been crafted 42 times.

Explanation 2: Use cards to summon a group of banshees, causing the target to become hopelessly infatuated with them and fall into depravity. Anyone who tries to persuade the target with kind words will be regarded as an enemy.

Note 3: The Banshee can exist for one hour, but the card's effect cannot be dispelled and has a lifelong effect, although it can be cured. Please explore for details.

Note 4: Using this card on a target with a firm mindset will significantly reduce its effectiveness.

"This card is amazing. It took 42 attempts to create. If I accumulate enough energy and conjure it up in my mind, will the card's effect come true?"

Zhou Nan found it very strange.

If the cards synthesized by the little black cat are usable and can be created, then what it produces is not considered junk data. Although it will rapidly occupy its own memory, it also enriches its own card library.

Logically speaking, this should be fine.

Because of Zhou Nan's card divine power, as long as the color, star count, prefix name, and suffix name are given, it will automatically calculate and generate based on the master version in the card library, and materialize it. No matter how bizarre the attributes of the master version are or how strange the skills are, as long as there is data to support it, it is a real card.

The problem is that there isn't enough data to support it, just like with aura-type cards, where you can come up with the cards but they don't have any effect.

Unfortunately, the amount of "qi" required to create a black card is far too much, and Zhou Nan is unable to verify it.

Zhou Nan suddenly had a thought: could he recruit this little black cat?

Judging from its methods, it is clear that it has a certain ability to calculate. Since it cannot be caught or driven away, is there any way to reconcile with it or "adopt" it to serve its own purposes?

With this thought in mind, Zhou Nan tried various ways to communicate with the little black cat. However, he still had to delete the data that needed to be deleted. After all, the little black cat was able to refresh data at an extremely fast speed after learning [Black Card Synthesis]. If he let it continue like this without any regard for it, Zhou Nan's memory would be full in a few days.

At that time, Zhou Nan will face a data collapse, a major calamity that could shake his entire divine power. It won't be as simple as just getting injured; there's a high probability that Zhou Nan will perish as a result.

Zhou Xiaonan, Xiao Taichong, and Xiao Taiyong, on the other hand, were hunting in the first layer of deep space. Occasionally, they would bring back some treasures that could expand Zhou Nan's memory. Zhou Nan couldn't be distracted too much, so he used the treasures immediately after receiving them, and didn't have time to give them cards.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For three years, Zhou Nan struggled on, seemingly in a state of silence, but on this day, he finally saw a turning point.
