Looking at the terrifying scene before her, which was like gods fighting, her companions, who were usually either icebergs or queens, were now like cats with their fur standing on end, making her so anxious that she was almost in tears.
Ultimately, within her limited thought process, she made the most correct, yet also the most "disastrous" decision.
She ran out.
A few minutes later, in the hallway outside, she forcefully pulled the man, who had intended to continue leaning against the wall, listening to the sounds inside, and pretending he didn't exist, into the room.
"Su Chen, please think of a solution quickly!"
……
And so, Su Chen was thrust into the eye of the storm.
As soon as he entered the room, he felt five pairs of equally breathtakingly beautiful and powerful gazes, each with an aura so strong it could drop the room temperature by ten degrees, all falling on him.
Yukino's coldness, Erina's arrogance, Utaha's teasing, Alice's inquisitiveness, and Mai's seemingly gentle yet most oppressive smile.
The five gazes converged, forming an invisible yet powerful pressure that demanded an explanation.
Su Chen felt his head start to hurt again.
'Is this considered a public execution?'
However, things had come to this point, and he, the nominal "king," had nowhere left to retreat.
He took a deep breath, composed himself, and walked to the center of the conference table.
He did not try to appease anyone first, because he knew that appeasing anyone first would only make the war burn even brighter.
He simply picked up the few project proposals on the table.
He quickly glanced through it.
"very good."
"Your proposals are all very good."
Without any preamble, he gave the highest evaluation directly.
"Yukino's system is the 'skeleton' for the stable operation of this base in the future."
"Erina's food is the 'flesh and blood' that ensures we can all live with vitality."
"Shiyu's insight into people's hearts is the 'nerve' that connects us all."
"Alice's scientific data is the 'brain' that guides us to make the right judgments."
“Every part is indispensable.”
He paused, raised his head, and looked around at the queens in front of him who were both a headache and incredibly proud of him.
His eyes were filled with the aura of a king, and his voice was unquestionable.
"So, I've decided. I want all of your proposals."
He picked up a whiteboard marker, turned around, and on the clean whiteboard in the conference room, he drew a future blueprint that was far grander and more perfect than any of their proposals.
"We will establish a fair and just order by using Yukino's contribution point system as the 'law'."
"With Erina and Tohru's Kitchen of God as the 'energy core,' it provides life and power to everyone."
"With the insight of Shiwa and Mai, we will establish an effective 'propaganda and education' system to unite people's hearts."
· ········Requesting flowers··· ··
"Using Alice and [Blank]'s cutting-edge technology as a 'technological barrier' to ensure our security and development."
"We want to completely transform this small outpost into a paradise city that is self-sufficient, self-evolving, and able to withstand all natural and man-made disasters."
A masterpiece of integration and sublimation, brimming with the aura of a king and a true stroke of genius.
In an instant, the girls who had been arguing heatedly just moments before were completely stunned.
However, just when Su Chen thought he had perfectly turned hostility into friendship and resolved this thorny civil war,
He was probably in such a good mood that he got a little carried away.
It could also be because they wanted to lighten the overly serious atmosphere and show off their sense of humor.
.. ..... ...
He uttered, half-jokingly, what he considered to be the ultimate declaration of self-destruction, brimming with high emotional intelligence and a spirit of universal love.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
He opened his arms like a divine saint wanting to embrace the world.
"Here with me..."
"You are all my wings."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
That moment.
Time seems to have stood still.
The air itself seemed to freeze.
The atmosphere in the conference room, which had just become excited and enthusiastic because of the grand blueprint, instantly dropped to a theoretically lowest point, colder than absolute zero.
"Scumbag."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's pen stopped abruptly.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Su Chen.
The previous admiration and mockery were gone from those beautiful wine-red eyes.
All that remains is the purest, coldest contempt, as if looking at some kind of unrecyclable social garbage.
She uttered a name that sounded somewhat familiar to Su Chen, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Makoto?"
"?"
Su Chen hadn't yet realized what this joke, filled with malice and an aura of death, really meant.
He felt himself being completely locked onto by four pairs of equally dangerous gazes.
An unprecedented sense of crisis, a sense of deadly danger he had never felt even when facing lord-level monsters.
It shot up from his spine all the way to the top of his head.
'Oh no...oh no...'
'like…'
"Oops, I stepped on a landmine."
Chapter 106 The Third Star of the Spiritual Universe
In the end, Su Chen still managed to escape alive from the hellish scene that he had personally set off.
The reason for putting "alive" in quotation marks is that although his body was unharmed, his spirit and dignity suffered an unprecedented blow.
The price was heavy. He was unanimously voted by the "highest decision-making body," led by Yukino Yukinoshita—an organization he had just personally integrated but which turned around and sanctioned him—to confine him for a day, forbidding him from stepping into the top-floor conference room that embodied all their wisdom.
Even more devastatingly, he was deprived of the right to enjoy the "Queen's Special" dinners for the entire following week.
Women are truly unreasonable and irrational.
Nighttime, on the top floor of the building, in Su Chen's private room.
(Although he was grounded, they still reserved the biggest and best room for him; perhaps this was their last act of kindness.)
Su Chen sat cross-legged on the soft bed, shook his head helplessly, and sighed deeply.
He still can't understand how such a beautiful word as "wings," an image full of love, tolerance, and hope, could become a "forbidden word" that everyone condemns.
But forget it.
A woman's mind, like quantum mechanics, belongs to the realm of metaphysics, which is neither observable nor predictable.
If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. Instead of wasting time on unsolvable problems, do something more meaningful.
He slowly closed his eyes, drawing all his attention back to his body.
With the external turmoil subsiding for the time being, it's time to take stock of what he truly gained from this trip to Akihabara.
Resources, personnel...
These are all secondary, external things.
For him, there is only one greatest gain.
That is the further refinement of power.
He calmed his mind, his consciousness flowing like mercury, and began to introspect.
Within his dantian, the innate qi cultivated through the [Perfect Reverse Rebirth Triple Level] technique had grown stronger and more refined than before he went to Akihabara.
Today, it has transformed from a tiny, hair-thin trickle into a rushing, golden stream.
As the stream flowed, it carried a profound yet vibrant rhythm, continuously washing over his limbs and bones, tempering his body and soul.
He had a clear feeling that before long, perhaps after the next battle that pushed him to his limits, he would be able to completely break through the first shackle of [Flesh and Blood Reversal] and elevate his own form of existence to a completely new dimension.
Entering the second realm—[Qi Transformation into Flesh and Bone]—that grants immunity to purely physical attacks and allows for the free alteration of body shape, enabling countless transformations.
Another, perhaps even greater, gain came from the depths of his soul.
That vast and boundless spiritual universe that only he himself could observe.
In that universe, which was even more silent than the deepest night sky, all I could see was...
A golden object, filled with holiness and majesty, resembling the first star at the dawn of the universe—the World—is quietly suspended in the center of the cosmos.
It exudes an absolute, supreme pressure, befitting the emperor of time, giving the surrounding space a subtle, viscous feel, as if it might be frozen in time.
Beneath the radiance of the "Sun," a crimson "black hole," imbued with an aura of ending and destiny, constantly distorting the surrounding light—the [Crimson King]—stands like its most loyal yet most dangerous shadow, maintaining the balance of this spiritual universe together.
These two forces, which can be described as rule-level, have been completely integrated into his soul, becoming his greatest reliance for survival in this apocalyptic world.
however--
Just then, just when Su Chen thought that his spiritual universe was a stable yet dangerous binary system composed of a "sun" and a "black hole".
Unexpectedly, at the very edge of the universe, in an extremely inconspicuous corner, almost swallowed by darkness.
I sensed it…
The third one had a completely different feel to it.
The aura was very faint.
It was so faint that if he hadn't greatly increased his strength today, and his mental power and self-control had reached a whole new level, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect its existence at all.
It's like a barely perceptible whisper from a flute amidst a noisy symphony.
That aura was completely different from the domineering nature of [The World] and the eeriness of [King Crimson] 3.2.
It is neither hot nor cold.
It is more intellectual.
It is filled with a thirst for information, an exploration of possibilities, and a curiosity about the unknown.
It's like a scholar with a strong thirst for knowledge hiding in a corner of the universe, silently observing and recording everything.
It seems to be able to transform everything in the world, whether it be soul, memory, or ability, into "data" and "CDs" for storage and retrieval.
"what is this?"
"Weird feeling."
Su Chen frowned, his consciousness slowly withdrawing from the mental universe, but the shock lingered for a long time.
