"Absolute Absolute Absolute Absolute Annihilation Overlord?!"

"How could there be an Extinction Sovereign? Weng Falos??"

Inside the Abaidus Strategy Committee, the cat ears on Qinxiang's head shot up suddenly, and like a cat seeing a cucumber she went "Seng" and sprang forward from the spot.

"Weng Falos actually has an Extinction Sovereign? Ah, this…" Ayane pushed up her glasses, a look of disbelief on her face, "…how could that be? The Third Fate entwining Weng Falos is actually Destruction? But the problem is there's no trace of an Extinction Sovereign on Weng Falos…?"

"Moreover, Weng Falos has no trace of Destruction at all. If we must say something, it only seems similar to Heichi and the Antimatter Legion, both indiscriminately killing life."

"Ahra, Ayane really, just relax a bit." Nemiya smiled and patted Ayane's shoulder, soothing gently, "The Extinction Sovereign is scary, but haven't Xing and Dan Heng dealt with it before? Last time we had General Jingyuan, this time Ms. Black Tower is involved, it should be fine."

"That may be what they say… but last time we dealt with Huanlong we didn't actually kill her, we only destroyed one of her avatars. And… the lingering power of the Extinction Sovereign in battle is also strong; the destruction of Kiwo Tosi last time…"

"Wuhui~ Alright, stop making that world‑ending face." Takanashi Hoshino stretched lazily and slowly got up from the sofa, "Extinction Sovereigns aren't all as hard to eliminate as she is. I, Uncle, recall the Sea‑Patrolling Rangers once teamed up to kill a great sovereign called 'Zhu Luo'."

"So, Ayane, relax, relax. In the end, an Extinction Sovereign is just a summons, and there are as many as three summons that Star can call upon for help right away."

Overlord.

"Weng Falos has an Extinction Sovereign sealed inside?!"

Anzi let out a startled exclamation subconsciously, and then his body emitted a green light. After the "Forced Calm" triggered, the entire throne hall fell into a strange silence.

(The Extinction Sovereign is sealed… could it refer to the interior of this planet?)

(Weng Falos is a closed celestial body, so its "closure" isn't due to Aigle's blockade of the sky, but because the entire planet is the Extinction Sovereign's "cage"?)

(If that's the case…)

"Dimiu Gous, what role do you think Laigushi plays inside Weng Falos?"

Anzi lowered his head to look at the demon kneeling beneath the throne hall.

"Yes! Lord Anzi." Dimiu Gous slowly raised his head, "In my humble opinion, Laigushi's duty is likely 'Warden', with a genius responsible for guarding the Extinction Sovereign as a prisoner."

"Reasonable speculation…"

Okay, Lord Ainz, you must have realized the crux of the problem—the real issue isn't with Laigushi, nor the Overlord of Extinction, but 'Why is a club genius assigned to guard the Overlord of Extinction?' If it were merely guard duty... having a genius do it would be a waste, wouldn't it?

"Very well, Lord Anzi, you have probably already grasped the crux—the real issue isn't Laigushi nor the Extinction Sovereign, but 'why a Club genius is tasked with guarding the Extinction Sovereign'? If it's merely a guard duty… having a genius do it seems wasteful, right?"

Dimiu Gous stood even more upright, then stared directly at the master seated on the throne, delivering his conclusion.

"I think Laigushi likely watches over the Extinction Sovereign for some research purpose. As for how to research… it probably relates to those twelve Titans."

The high‑pitched sound of a staff striking the floor rang out all around.

"... an interesting conclusion, Dimiu Gous."

But there's still another problem. If Laigushi represents Wufaluosi's 'wisdom', and the Overlord of Extinction represents its 'destruction', then... what about 'memory'? Where is the envoy who represents memory?

"'I have personally paid homage to the Star God and asked Him a question.'"

"'What question could stump the all‑knowing Machine Head?'"

Countless white light ribbons stretched from all directions of the universe, like the neural network of some colossal being, spanning the void and interweaving into a massive web. Ms. Black Tower crossed her arms, stepped onto one of the ribbons, and gazed far into the deep red light of the cosmos.

To onlookers, it resembled a collapsing red supergiant, hanging there like a nail piercing the universe, carving a huge scarlet hole in the black deep space. Only in Ms. Black Tower's eyes did that red light reveal its true form—

"【Intellect】 endless calculations."

"'Exactly, that's how I asked.' Black Tower's mouth twitched slightly, 'If there were no unsolvable problems in the world… then this time, how would you prove it?'"

"…"

In a quiet corner where time flows gently, a purple‑haired girl wearing a black beret sits upright at a desk, silently performing calculations toward the truth.

Countless questions turned into bizarre television‑like images, some being riddles that have troubled humanity for millennia, others seeming insurmountable barriers on civilization's path… Unfortunately, to the girl they quickly became dull and monotonous, like outdated toys, fading away one by one.

"'I've solved many tough problems because I enjoy it. But they don't last long before they become answers.'"

"'That's fine, the good stuff is always ahead… even if answers are weak, they can spawn new questions.'"

The girl gazed at the starry sky; she and the earth beneath her became the eyes of a puzzle, rendering the portrait named 'Black Tower' more complete.

"'For example… where will my boundaries lie?'"

Ruo Xiaohei Chronicle.

"This little girl is actually so impressive…"

Chi Nian furrowed his brows; this was his first time grasping a genius's life so directly. Though the celestial dome offered extremely limited information, it was enough to astonish him.

"Hey, old man." Chi Nian turned and said to the leisurely tea‑drinking Ji Lao beside him, "You think, if such a monster were born among humans, would our demon race still have a place to reside?"

Ji Lao slowly blew the tea leaves floating on the surface, took a small sip, then lifted his eyelids and lazily glanced at Chi Nian.

"As far as I know, there is no human possessing such intelligence that would draw the attention of the erudite masters," Ji Lao set down his cup and said lightly, "If there were, Earth wouldn't look like it does now. Any member of the Genius Club could easily tear apart the existing civilizational framework. That level of wisdom, across the whole universe, amounts to only 84 people."

Chi Nian snorted coldly, "If someone like Black Tower were born on Earth and helped accelerate humanity's technological progress, we demons would probably have become human livestock by now, wouldn't we?"
