Chapter 527

Pelaya's Experiment

A teleportation array?

Hearing this, both Cheng Shi and Da Yi were shocked.

Cheng Shi's surprise lay in the Announcer of Destruction's so-called "deconstruction," which sounded very much like the methods of 【Truth】 and 【Foolishness】. This meant that the other party's arrival was likely related to the Tower of Reason and Quality, which advocated 【Truth】 in the Civilization Era, or the Isolated Tower of Civilization, which worshipped 【Foolishness】 in the Chaos Era.

Da Yi's shock, however, was that he suddenly realized why Lord Ultraman had let them waste their time at the teleportation array before... Now it seemed that wasn't a waste of time at all. Every step of the Lord's plan had a reason; the teleportation array wasn't useless, it just wasn't the right time yet!

And now, look, someone had come back through that teleportation array!

As expected of Lord Ultraman!

His gaze toward Cheng Shi became even more respectful.

Cheng Shi felt Da Yi's scorching gaze, but he had no mind to think about what Da Yi was imagining again. Instead, with curiosity burning in his heart and a calm expression on his face, he asked the Announcer of Destruction:

"Continue, be detailed.

Start from your trial. What did you do, what did you experience, and why did you come here? As long as you explain it clearly, I can spare you."

This 【Annihilation】 Singer was very cooperative—cooperative to the point of being a bit too cooperative. He clearly had doubts about the identities of Cheng Shi and Da Yi, and was even bewildered by everything around him, but he didn't ask a single question. He answered whatever Cheng Shi asked, and he answered crisply and cleanly.

"I... prayed for a trial to witness the feat of 【Annihilation】, and then queued into a 【War】 match.

Our trial took place in the Tower of Reason and Quality at the end of the Civilization Era, just when Pelaya, a member of the Learned Chair Committee, was rebelling. We..."

"Damn it, who?" Da Yi was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly realized and said, "You came back through Pelaya's experiment?"

The Announcer of Destruction didn't seem surprised that high-end players were proficient in such history. He nodded hurriedly, but then Da Yi started cursing again:

"Damn it, just with the few of you, you were actually able to replicate her experiment?

The only opportunity in that period of history was to seize the initiative before the Learned Chair Committee. Even to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, you need the strength to fight a tiger. You lot are at best tiger rations; what are you using to snatch it?

What, are your heads extra hard, and you chipped the tiger's fangs?"

"..." Da Yi's disdain choked the Announcer of Destruction. Cheng Shi didn't say anything, but the amount of information in these words was quite large.

Pelaya!

It's Pelaya again!

What kind of experiment was this great scholar of the Tower of Reason and Quality doing?

Cheng Shi really didn't know this history, so he chose to remain silent. He couldn't reveal his ignorance, so he simply pretended to be mysterious and said nothing.

"..." The Announcer of Destruction wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly explained, "No, no, although we replicated the experiment, the opportunity was seized by that Grand Marshal leading his men. We just..."

"Damn it, Old Hu!?" Da Yi's tone rose by another three degrees. "You even queued into Old Hu? What's Old Hu's rank? Even if the game mechanics are outrageous, how could he queue into small fry like you?"

"..."

No, brother, can you not be so irritable? I still want to hear the story!

Cheng Shi curled his lips in slight disgust and coughed lightly as a reminder. Upon hearing this cough, Da Yi immediately realized he had disrupted the Lord's questioning rhythm. He shrank his neck and fell silent.

The Announcer of Destruction endured his fear and hurriedly turned to Cheng Shi to continue explaining:

"We didn't queue into the Grand Marshal; we bumped into his trial. No, no, he led his men and bumped into our trial.

Originally, our trial wasn't going smoothly. The great scholar Pelaya flipped the table during the Learned Chair Committee meeting and directly sent the Death Knell Knights into the hinterlands of Tusnat through space deconstruction.

At that time, we had just stepped into the Tower of Reason and Quality's research institute when we were trapped inside by a large number of Death Knell Knights. Fortunately, there was a Desire Dominator among us. He transformed fear to control several scholars to fight the Death Knell Knights, and with everyone gritting their teeth and fighting to the death, we managed to survive.

But the scene at the time was too chaotic; it wasn't something we could deal with at all. We even suspected this was a special trial, not some prayer trial.

Staying in the research institute was just waiting for death; there was no way to survive. So we ran, fleeing toward the city of Tusnat.

But just as we were planning to find a place to hide until the trial ended, the Grand Marshal and a few others split the void and jumped down from above our heads.

I don't know how they were able to find this place, but their appearance did indeed relieve our pressure. He is worthy of being a 【War】 God-Chosen; he is too strong, he..."

No, wait, little brother, do you know what you're saying? How did you become a fanboy of the Grand Marshal while talking?

"Ahem, get to the point."

"Oh, oh, the point, the point is that he led his men and killed their way through the Death Knell Knights and rushed out. We were afraid of death, so we followed behind and rushed out too."

Hearing this, the expressions of Cheng Shi and Da Yi both became strange. Clearly, they both knew that no matter what Hu Wei's faith was, he should at least be on the same side as the Death Knell Knights.

You, a 【Chaos】 thug, why are you hacking your own people?

Da Yi looked at Cheng Shi with a strange expression, fearing that the Lord might have an opinion. Cheng Shi couldn't possibly blame anyone for such trivial matters, so he raised his chin to signal the other party to continue.

"But who knew they weren't trying to escape at all, but had another purpose? They rushed into Pelaya's laboratory. This great scholar of the Origin Tracing Department has always been famous for deconstructing space-time, and in her hands..."

"Damn it, we know all this. Tell us the point!"

Hold your horses!

Big brother, you know, but I don't!

This is the point for me, shut your mouth immediately!!

Cheng Shi was angry. He glanced at Da Yi with displeasure. Da Yi instantly felt the Lord's gaze, immediately fell silent, looked at the ground, and was as honest as a student standing in punishment.

The Announcer of Destruction was also stunned. He seemed to feel that this person in charge wanted him to continue, so he swallowed his saliva nervously and tentatively continued his train of thought.

"Great Scholar Pelaya held the corpse of a 【Desolate Walker】. It was left behind after the failure of a faith experiment in the depths of the Tower of Reason and Quality. It was precisely because she possessed this divine shell that she had a high say in the Learned Chair Committee.

And the team of scholars she led had also been exploring the origin of the 【Desolate Walker】. They wanted to find His soul—that is, the 【Gift of Scars】—by deconstructing the relevant space-time connections, thereby stitching this 【Decay】 Messenger back together and creating an artificial Messenger.

The Grand Marshal led his men to find her laboratory, and we followed behind and saw the corpse of the 【Desolate Walker】. Unfortunately, by that time, Great Scholar Pelaya had no intention of doing these experiments anymore and was devoted to 【Chaos】 and resisting 【Truth】, so the experiment was shelved.

The people around the Grand Marshal tried to restart the experiment, but at this time, several great scholars from the Learned Chair Committee came to the Tower of Reason and Quality wanting to recover the experimental materials. No, they weren't recovering them, they were confiscating them. They believed Pelaya had betrayed the Tower of Reason and Quality and that her experimental resources needed to be redistributed."
