Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[March 7th: So, this guy is actually a colleague of the Black Tower? This is actually a case of the underdog overthrowing the superior!]

[Star: Ah~~ Emperor I, Emperor II, Primal Doctor, and now another one, Lai Gu Shi! In the Genius Club, how come everyone with the character "Shi" in their name is a genius?!]

[Chaos: Is this reclusive villain actually an accomplice of the Wraith Ninja?]

[Black Tower: That depends on how you look at it. If the scenarios described earlier come true, then comparing that monkey to the omnic guy in front of us is a huge insult to the omnic guy. The Primal Doctor's petty tricks aren't even worthy of peeling bananas for Lycan.]

But despite saying that, Black Tower became even more puzzled.

Although this message seemed to narrow down the scope, it actually led her into a dead end.

Where in the talent club can you find such a person?

The Silent Lord is utterly indifferent to human life, yet he is a die-hard fan of the Learned One; Acha has become a "Quantum Ghost," and is not so morally reprehensible; the Primal Doctor is wicked and without any bottom line, but his abilities are far from sufficient.

Of course, now it seems that no one in the club can compare to Ricochet.

But then, who else could it be? It couldn't be that the Venerable Master secretly nurtured an unparalleled genius just to watch him die, could it?

or……

"Estella, bring me the files of everyone in the Genius Club, down to the smallest detail, as detailed as possible."

Black Tower narrowed his eyes: "It can't be a 'dead person,' can it?"

If that's the case, the Silent Lord's skills will be thoroughly ridiculed.

[Star: Wait, since you're from the Genius Club, then... hehe, @Polka Kakamu, go for it, it's you! The time has come to serve the Machine Head!]

[Polka Kakamu: Little guy from the Star Train, using someone else to do your dirty work isn't exactly a clever tactic. But for the club members to actually plot to murder the Star God? Overestimating themselves, unforgivable.]

[Hanabi: Oh, is he going to start wielding the scalpel? I'm really looking forward to it! But I don't think he's that overconfident; on the contrary, he seems quite humble. If his creation were to be born, it could wipe out the Star God of Intelligence! But he only says that he and the Black Tower can destroy each other. How humble!]

The light curtain ripples.

Despite the blatant threat, Black Tower showed no fear: "No wonder I couldn't find a backdoor after scanning the whole place. Your security protocols... are on par with Screws. Interesting."

Lai Gushi said calmly, "I suppose you'd like to hear about the third logical chain?"

"Of course, why not?"

[Black Tower: I'd like to know too. Is there some kind of leverage they could use against me?]

Lai Gushi said calmly, "Thirdly: Even if you use every means to try and find a way to break through my defenses..."

He smiled faintly. This point, though it might seem unfounded at first glance, is actually far more powerful than the second one; it's a conclusion he reached after seeing through the Black Tower's personality.

Just like the underlying logic of a software, the Black Tower cannot be broken through.

"But once you know the inevitable consequences of this action, you will give up trying it. After all, in your long life—even if you may not admit it—conscience plays an extremely important role."

His words were devoid of any intensity, as if he were stating 1+1=2 in a plain and uninteresting way.

……

"Oh..." The Black Tower coffee was just about to be held to his lips when he choked on it.

Ruan Mei blinked: "You guessed right?"

"Only..." Black Tower wanted to say something but didn't.

But this statement is indeed tricky. If you don't deny it, you'll lose face; if you do deny it, your conscience might protest against you.

"This guy is really troublesome... a puppet! Quick, go and move all the data over for Estella, I'm determined to dig this guy out!"

……

"Haha!" A hint of anger flashed across Black Tower's brow. "What an arrogant robot. You think you can understand me with just your meager calculations?"

"But since we've come this far, let's talk about it: what will the consequences be?"

The so-called outcome that would make her conscience rebel...

Laigushi slowly turned around, looking at the fire wheel at the heart of the cosmic vortex, and said slowly, "It concerns the third destiny that binds Onpharos, the one that you and your friend have been unable to decipher until now—[Destruction]."

"If you ignore my warnings and insist on going your own way—"

With his usual calm tone, he effortlessly uttered extraordinary words: "You will shatter the shackles of a [Great Lord of Annihilation], and its wrath will engulf the Milky Way."

[Su Chang: Huh? So, he was actually sealing the Iron Tomb to protect the Milky Way?]

[Yanqing: Ahem, Miss Sushang. Please raise your eyebrows slightly and look at the title; this is a blacklist…]

[Su Chang: Ah...right! So, this Lai Gu Shi was actually a big conman? I almost fell for his trick!]

[At that moment, Xia said: It seems that the people from beyond the heavens are indeed just like us. This feeling of an extremely diverse human population is exactly the same as that of Shuting...]

[Star: Translation, there are so many abstract thinkers!]

[Jingyuan: But at least one thing is certain. Among the various pieces of evidence, not a single one denies the power of the Annihilation Lord. The description of his wrath engulfing the Milky Way seems to be true.]

[Star: Who exactly is this guy, Lai Gu Shi? He's such a troublemaker!]

[March 7th: But with the Silent Lord handling this, can we finally relax? As long as she takes down Lai Gushi...]

[Lagushi: I regret to inform you, gentlemen. Not only will you not do that, but on this matter, you will actually stand in the same trench as me.]

[March 7th: By what right?]

[Laigushi: I may tell you all. It's truly a pity that Onpharos's experiment has essentially entered its final stage. My actions are no longer important. Even if my existence is immediately erased, the Iron Tomb will still be successfully born in the warm cradle of Onpharos... There is only one way to stop this with external force—to completely and utterly destroy Onpharos. And this means...]

……

"The entire galaxy will declare war on Onpharos," Aglaia stated this conclusion, which could be described as a catastrophe.

Kerudela's eyes narrowed, and the chess piece in her hand clattered against the armrest: "Lagushi, what a brilliant move of alliances and counter-alliances, what a skillful tactic..."

Although Iron Tomb is everyone's enemy, at this moment, Weng Xing has been bound to the same war chariot by Lai Gu Shi, and even taken hostage!

[Laigushi: However, everyone need not worry. Just as Lady Black Tower possesses a strong conscience, the members of the Star Train will certainly not allow their comrades-in-arms in the "Future" to sacrifice themselves in vain.]

[Star: Damn it, I've been manipulated?]
