Jackie Chan Adventures

"Think about it carefully, it seems the other Golden Descendants all have special abilities. Wandi can refuse death, Xiadie can communicate with the souls of the dead…… Compared to that, Bai'e's special ability seems quite ordinary."

Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the sofa, gazing toward Jackie Chan's direction, "Uncle Dragon, do you think Bai'e can become the savior? Honestly, I still can't figure out why Aglaea values him so much—he is indeed formidable, his swordsmanship superb, but such a powerful Wandi could also do that, and Wandi doesn't die, so shouldn't he be more suited to be the 'savior' than Bai'e?"

Jackie Chan looked up at Bai'e's back, which seemed to silently speak of the youth's hesitation and wandering. After a moment, he slowly shook his head and said, "Xiao Yu, my view differs from yours; in my opinion, Bai'e has displayed his own unique special ability from the very beginning."

Xiao Yu was momentarily at a loss: "Ah, how come I didn't notice?"

"The so-called 'savior' does not merely refer to a single warrior, but rather a leader who can guide all Golden Descendants to complete the Fire Pursuit Journey's 'leader'. Bai'e can understand Wandi's anger, accept Xiadie's aloofness, and be the first to establish a genuine trust partnership with outsiders like Xing and Danheng. Xiao Yu, haven't you noticed? These people have spontaneously gathered around Bai'e, trusting him unconditionally…… This is Bai'e's most irreplaceable 'special ability'."

"As for Aglaea…… she likely chose Bai'e as her successor because of this—the Fire Pursuit Journey needs not only a strong warrior, but someone who can make the Golden Descendants willing to walk forward side by side. And that person…… can be none other than Bai'e."

"Outside of Wengfalusuo, a familiar corner of the galaxy……"

""Really a ███ adventure——please insert any suitable adjective at the ███ spot! You must be as curious as I am: what will happen next?""

""Don't rush…… because even if you rush, it's useless. Come with me first, let me tell you the story happening at the other end of the galaxy……"

"As the unfamiliar voice's tone suddenly rose, the scene inside the space station suddenly appeared on the canopy."

""Look, where is this? It's the Black Tower Space Station——the genius's camp, the cradle of science. Look at these Black Tower figurines, how exquisitely crafted! I've heard more than once people whispering behind their backs: 'She's really beautiful'……"

""But if I were to say, their restoration of Black Lady's beauty doesn't even reach one-tenth…… ah, no, not even one-hundredth. This isn't flattery; I'm merely stating objective facts……"

"Suddenly, the previous scene of Black Lady meeting the All-Knowing Sovereign appeared on screen—Black Tower seated on a key, facing the All-Knowing Sovereign's suffocating red light."

""Do you remember this scene? What an exhilarating sight! The esteemed Genius Club #83, Black Lady, is questioning the great All-Knowing Sovereign, seeking to obtain the mystery of 【divinity】 from Him!"

""Continuing from where we left off, the genius legend capable of rewriting galactic history begins here……"

"Outside the screen, a noble female voice interrupted the narrator: "…I say, the fourth mirror——who are you talking to?"

""Uh…… I wasn't trying to add some ceremonial flair to our entrance, Black Lady."

""Oh, the ceremonial feel of a debut…… who would have that?! If I were actually talking to the robot head, that'd be fine, but the problem is…… it has no reaction at all!"

""Uh…… but Black Lady, look here…… just from this screen, you're clearly standing before the All-Knowing Sovereign, right?"

Black Tower said lightly: "Oh, that? It's just a hologram, and it's impossible to truly summon the robot head's true form here."

""……So you were just reciting lines to a projection?!"

——

A certain scientific Railgun.

""Puhahaha——! Turns out the All-Knowing Sovereign was just a projection? At first it really scared me; I thought Black Lady was planning to cozy up to the Star Gods."

Leizi laughed until tears came out, couldn't help but raise a hand to wipe them, "How does Black Lady manage to be so engrossed in reciting lines to a projection? One could say she's indeed worthy of being an envoy—her sense of conviction is also far ahead."

""But the question Black Lady intends to raise is also intriguing——'What is divinity'…… this likely relates to the Titans of Wengfalusuo as well." Shili said softly.

Black Lady is also paying attention to Wengfalusuo; considering the previous knowledge path entwined around this planet, they all believe that Black Lady currently is the entity best able to represent that path on the planet.

Perhaps her true form hasn't entered Wengfalusuo, but she may have already gained knowledge of the planet's information within chaotic matter through some kind of 'genius' observational method.

""Perhaps Black Tower just wants to figure out how those Titans came to be——it seems only the Eon Titan is related to the path, while the other eleven Titans have no connection whatsoever to the path's power in the universe." Misaka Mikoto suddenly had a bold thought: "If we could apply the Titans' power to the world……"

""……then the universe would be doomed."

Leizi placed both hands behind his head, leisurely stretched, "Even Nanuke can't just kill whoever he wants; to exterminate someone, he must spread 'destruction' through his subordinates, the Extinction Sovereigns. But if Nanuke were to gain the authority of the Death Titan, the world would likely face instant annihilation."

""You can imagine a scene: if galactic powers intervened in Wengfalusuo, the company would surely rack its brains to obtain Golden Descendants' DNA, then create countless identical Golden Descendant clones, proceed to eliminate each Titan one by one, and firmly grasp the fire seed in its own hands."

""Even if it required sacrificing a thousand clones to successfully fuse with a demigod, they would spare no expense, pouring money and lives into it…… until all authority belonged to the company. By then, who in the whole universe could still resist them?"

——

""This is ceremonial feeling, you aren't the one who values it most?" Black Lady waved her hand indifferently, "Let's not talk about these useless things. Do you know how difficult it is to send a message to the All-Knowing Sovereign? I've gone to great lengths——to power the 'Audience System', I must divert the entire space station's energy, put it into silent mode, then restart afterward. This round trip, do you know how high the cost behind it is?"

"The red mirror floating before Black Tower emitted a curious sound: "……How high?""

""……" Black Tower pondered briefly, then arrived at an answer: "……Money's not my concern. You'd better ask Esdeath."

"So you don't know either!"
