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

"Phew~~" Krystal, who had been standing upright while staring at the screen, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat back down.

"Although it still cannot break free from the framework of Lycurgus, at least it has grasped the essence of 'win-win'."

Thinking of this, she was still somewhat resentful. But there was nothing she could do; Zandal's chances of winning were almost unassailable. The fact that they didn't lose was already a huge win for them.

"Finally, it worked." Bai E let out a long sigh of relief.

They finally won a local battle against the Ragus.

Compared to the temporary immortality afforded by eternal reincarnation, they have finally managed to control Lai Gu Shi this time.

"Moreover, they succeeded almost by the very last minute." Aglaia was also somewhat alarmed.

She knew very well that this was the so-called "final reincarnation." If she had failed just now, the situation would have spiraled out of control, leading to the destruction of the Iron Tomb.

Aside from preparing to send a warm and comforting greeting to Bo Shizun, there's not much else anyone can do.

[Bai'er: And then? It seems there's still no way to stop the Iron Tomb, is there?]

[Black Tower: It was bound to happen sooner or later. After all, the senior is now an omnic. This gives him a long lifespan, but it also has many disadvantages.]

The light curtain ripples and flows.

Lai Gu Shi crossed his arms, his expression unchanged: "This isn't a system malfunction, but rather that I've been implanted with a meme of [memory]?"

This was indeed unexpected. He had seen through the other party's intentions, but he had misjudged their methods, mistakenly believing it to be the authority of "time." But now it seemed that this was far more sophisticated than that.

"You saw right through it!" Xi Lian smiled faintly. "No wonder you're hailed as the 'Number One Genius' by everyone."

"If you continue to act recklessly, that scene will repeat itself again. No matter what, my companions and I will not let you leave this [memory]..."

"Lord Zandal, you're already in jail, aren't you?"

"Elegant concept, exquisite execution," Zandal remarked. "Unfortunately, it's not me who's held back by time, but you."

"You should understand that patience is my most powerful weapon. To me, waiting and victory are the same concept."

"Like Caiuslana, in that almost eternal moment, you will be the first to collapse. And I only need to wait—wait for another futile nymph to fall off the cliff and plunge into the abyss."

If we start counting from the beginning of the slicing project, he has been waiting for no less than 100,000 years.

[Star: Okay, okay, no one knows more about going to jail than you, right? But this... does sound like the chances of winning aren't very high.]

[Black Tower: Actually, you could say the other way around: besides waiting, he's exhausted all his options. Of course, time is indeed on his side; when the clock strikes, he can win without doing anything. We must seize this only window of opportunity and turn our disadvantage into an advantage.]

[March 7th: So, what to do?]

Xi Lian smiled, slightly troubled: "Is it [Pink Bug] again this time? My image changes so much..."

"But you're right. Simply building another cage won't solve the fundamental problem."

She shrugged. "So, we didn't originally plan to do that?"

The projections of the Black Tower and Screw Gum appeared before the two.

Seeing the two geniuses who had already "retreated," Lai Gushi remained tense, even somewhat expectant: "Oh?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Screws began to explain their prepared solution: "As a tribute to the pioneers, let me answer your question: Have you ever heard of the 'Synesthesia' in the Asdna system? It's quite interesting; in the distant past, there was also a prison there."

"In an environment rich in memory, living beings have a certain probability of intuitively forming some kind of connection. Even if they are spatially separated, they can perceive each other's state changes. I call this phenomenon 'Memory Domain Entanglement'."

"In Asdna, people used this phenomenon—catalyzed by harmony and memory—to build a dreamlike kingdom."

[Sunday: I would suggest that Mr. Screws abandon the old name and adopt a name that is more acceptable to the locals—Pinocchio.]

[Star: Is Pinocchio really that good? It's like having anything you could ever dream of?!]

[Robin: Theoretically, that's true, but maintaining a dream requires considerable resources, so entering a dream is generally quite expensive. Furthermore, to avoid causing trouble for others with one's own "whimsical ideas," one must abide by the rules and dream in an orderly manner.]

Laigu Shidao said, "Just like now, you have used the same principle to enter the cage I am in?"

Screwgoom said, "I prefer to call it the 'Negotiation Seat,' Lord Zandal. But you understand correctly. We happen to have an ally skilled in 'tuning,' and Miss Xing and Xilian..."

His voice was calm and unhurried, but a tight, impenetrable net had already been woven.

"As you can see, their determination is admirable. With such unwavering support from [Memory Spirits], our conversation will continue for a long time."

[Star: Oh wow? So you mean the Ragushi aren't afraid to wait, while we can use the power of dreams and memories to infinitely extend the perceived time? Then it'll be a game of "Red Light, Green Light" between the fake and real omnics? Hehe~~ This is going to be interesting! By the way, can I just leave it running and go to sleep?]

[March 7th: Aren't you afraid of waking up to find Iron Tomb pulling off your blanket? Seriously, does our train have that many connections? A Pinocchio tuner! He can go toe-to-toe with Rigol, he must be quite famous, right?]

[Sunday: If it's for the safety of the entire galaxy, it's perfectly normal for Pinocchio to send reinforcements. But who could it be? Playing against the number one genius is hardly an easy task.]

[Fireworks: In short, is it a strategy of keeping the eagles at bay?]

[Qingque: They won't sit there forever, will they? Wait, no, the time there is out of sync with the outside world... Damn it! I wish I could go there on my next vacation, a vacation that would never end...]

In the light screen, Xi Lian smiled faintly: "It's just listening to stories, that's what I'm best at."

"Then, shall we leave the exciting intellectual clash to these two geniuses?"

Black Tower's eyes gleamed. This was a good plan, but she didn't have the patience to play around for that long; she preferred a more brutal approach.

"I like brainstorming. I especially like it when it's two against one."

"Let's talk, Zandal. Guess how much we can dig out of your head and how many solutions we can come up with before the clock strikes the next second?"

[Star: There's also a soul-searching segment?]
