Chapter 111: The Greatness of Ms. Black Tower Needs No Words

Super massive dark curtain?

Thinking of this, Hermes suddenly recalled that image in his mind.

Instantly, he shuddered.

His attractiveness would drop to zero!

Forget it, forget it—better crush this possibility outright.

Although Black Tower is a bit vain, she undeniably has exceptional beauty.

So, evolving into Super Black Tower is enough.

Super massive dark curtain doesn’t seem to have nearly as high beauty as Super Black Tower…

Even if evolving into Super massive dark curtain lets Itachi elbow-slam the galaxy in one move, it still looks utterly crude.

If the evolution option for Super massive dark curtain grants +1 IQ but -50 beauty…

Then Super Black Tower grants +1 IQ and +1 beauty.

Thank me, Black Tower.

I’ve preserved your beauty!

“Heh, never thought saving the cosmos would land on our shoulders.”

Ruan Mei’s face wore a half-smile.

She knew better than anyone what kind of person she was.

And yet, this absurd situation has now occurred…

“Ms. Ruan Mei, this is not what Itachi’d call saving the cosmos—it’s simply that if the worst happens to Onphalos, it will affect us too.”

Screwgum replied calmly.

Screwgum’s temperament was among the gentlest in the Genius Club, even renowned as a gentleman.

But to call him a pushover? Not at all.

At the very least, he had no intention of becoming a savior.

Here, Hermes, Ruan Mei, and Screwgum exchanged a subtle glance at Black Tower.

Ruan Mei and Screwgum understood clearly: Hermes’ enthusiasm stemmed from his origins.

His fundamental nature remained that of the Nameless Guest, a hero from beyond the heavens.

This nature had sunk deep into his soul.

Not to mention he later switched to the Path of Pure Beauty.

The Path of Knowledge?

That was merely an accident.

By contrast, Black Tower was truly rare.

She was one of the few scarce species in the Genius Club.

“Heheh, Ms. Black Tower’s greatness needs no words.”

Hermes smiled as he praised Black Tower.

“Hmph! Do Itachi think I need Itachi to say that?”

Black Tower accepted Hermes’ praise without modesty, replying as if it were obvious.

“The current issue is ensuring Xilian doesn’t go awry—if she truly ascends to godhood, the end of the universe will be irreversible…”

“Laigushi is also a problem—he’s held that scepter too long and possesses Administrator Permission; if we don’t take him down, disaster is likely.”

“Perhaps Hermes’ digital tech tree is the key to breaking the deadlock.”

“Ruan Mei, it’ll fall to Itachi—we’ll try to deduce a targeted Omega-level form based on Omega Beasts and Alpha Beasts…”

“A targeted hack into the scepter’s system might also work.”

“Do Itachi think the hyperspatial experiment Itachi two conducted, Hermes and Black Tower, could be applied here?”

“Unlikely—it’s a realm shrouded by three Paths; temporal-spatial interference would likely have little effect.”

“True. Onphalos is nearly forming a causal loop; temporal-spatial interference probably won’t work.”

With these thorny issues, the four geniuses began jointly simulating solutions.

Watching the geniuses plunged into intense work, Jizi and the other Star Rail crew members fell silent for a moment, then sighed and temporarily vacated the Star Rail.

Stepping off the train, this time, except for Dan Heng who remained aboard, the entire crew set foot on the surface of the Luo Fu Immortal Vessel.

“Akatsuki San Yue, put on this bracelet.”

Jizi stared at San Yue Qi with serious eyes, her gaze resolute and unyielding: “Remember—under no circumstances can Itachi ever take it off your wrist!”

“Understood?”

“But, Sister Jizi, isn’t this your favorite bracelet?”

San Yue Qi hesitated; she knew well how much Jizi cherished it: “I recall this was a gift from Senior Hermes…”

“Take it, Akatsuki San Yue.”

Jizi gently but firmly slipped the bracelet onto the girl’s wrist: “I do love this bracelet—but Akatsuki San Yue, Itachi’re my dearest family!”

“Your safety matters more than any possession.”

“Mm!”

San Yue Qi, moved, fastened the bracelet on her wrist, and the pressure in her heart finally eased.

At the same time, she grew unprecedentedly wary of her memories before amnesia.

“Lady Jizi, and all of the Star Rail crew—welcome to the Luo Fu Immortal Vessel.”

As Jizi and the others were lost in thought, a dashing man with a high white ponytail and lapis-lazuli eyes strode forward, smiling warmly.

“Itachi are… General Jingyuan?”

Jizi’s expression shifted, surprised as she stepped forward.

Strange—why would Jingyuan, General of Luo Fu, personally come to greet them?

Do they really have that much clout?

Behind Jingyuan stood Yu Kong, the Fleetmaster of Tianbo, whom they’d briefly met earlier.

“Lady Jizi, did Ms. Black Tower just enter the Star Rail?”

When Jingyuan mentioned Black Tower, a hint of respect appeared on his face as he asked: “To express gratitude for Ms. Black Tower’s aid to Luo Fu, I’ve personally selected several treasures from the Immortal Vessel’s vault as tokens of thanks.”

“Might I ask, Lady Jizi, if Itachi could introduce me to her?”

Before today, Jingyuan knew Black Tower was a member of the Genius Club and a Messenger of Knowledge—but he never imagined her combat prowess could be this terrifying!

She was a titan even among Messengers!

Such beings each wield power capable of reshaping the entire cosmos!

“I’m sorry, General Jingyuan—Ms. Black Tower is currently discussing research with fellow Genius Club members—Hermes, Ruan Mei, and Screwgum—and likely cannot spare time just now…”

Jizi apologized, though she had ties to both Hermes and Black Tower, this wasn’t a reason for her to interrupt.

“What!”

“Not only Ms. Black Tower and Mr. Hermes—Ms. Ruan Mei and Mr. Screwgum are here too!”

Upon hearing this, Jingyuan’s eyes widened and his heart raced uncontrollably.

In other words, his humble Luo Fu Immortal Vessel now hosted four… no, five geniuses, counting the imprisoned Lord of Silence?

Gasp!

What merit does my humble Luo Fu Immortal Vessel possibly have?

Will the fall of Luo Fu Immortal Vessel happen today?
