Chapter 329 Value Above All Else
The last spirit stone returned to his side, and with the help of the other spirit stones, the black magnet was barely able to function.
"The side effects of Nyarlathotep's Tears are so stubborn, can't other spirit stones offset them?" The Dark Emperor lowered his eyes to look at the spirit stones that had finally all returned to his side.
A good mood can be ruined by the malfunction of a black magnet.
Soon, his mood returned to a strange sense of pleasure due to the arrival of his subordinates.
Everything is so perfect!
Yes.
Looking down at his subordinates who stood quietly and obediently below.
Everything is perfect.
She finally returned to her obedient, spirit stone form, just like she had two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years ago...
How similar it is two hundred years ago and now—a few spirit stones were stolen by the despicable Quark race and returned to him. Then, the day when he would have the supreme power to unify the universe was approaching. If it wasn't like that back then, no, there will be no "ifs" this time.
He narrowed his eyes; centuries of patience had been enough, and he would not allow the same mistake to happen again.
He waved, and Huangwu came up.
He sneered disdainfully: "If we use the old methods from two hundred years ago again, you'll still fall for it. Physical forms are indeed just 'dead things'."
The subordinate seemed to understand his meaning, but out of "loyalty," he did not refute it.
"Report on what has happened during this period."
Huangwu responded and began slowly, but his voice sounded off.
Stiff and rigid, with a tendency to develop into someone who is mentally challenged.
"Is the brainwashing a bit too much?" The Dark Emperor frowned, then quickly relaxed. What did it matter? He didn't need her to do anything.
Two hundred years ago, it was because things weren't handled too harshly that she developed the idea of escaping.
If she weren't still valuable, did she think he couldn't do anything because he was far away?
Not every spirit stone form is as complete as the gloomy duchess.
He couldn't sever the connection between the gloomy duchess and the Reincarnation Bloodstone because the gloom was something that the Reincarnation Bloodstone had slowly developed over a long period of time.
Forcibly severing it would cause the Reincarnation Bloodstone to lose a large part of its power, and it would take a long time before another form could be born for him to use.
Yes, it's still possible.
He is the owner of the five spirit stones, the source of all power, and is almost a "god" to the spirit stones; there is nothing he cannot do.
But other spirit stones are different.
They have no growth process, nor do they age. They are simply tools created at will, born from the power of the creator, and continue to exist by relying on the power of the original spirit stone.
Completely severing their connection with the original spirit stone required almost no additional cost from him; the only difference was that he couldn't take back some of the power he had given them.
Once the connection is completely severed, the physical form will irreversibly dissipate, and absorbing more energy will be of no use; it will only slow down the dissipation process.
"Tools should just do their job as tools; how can they give rise to unnecessary consciousness?"
The Dark Emperor surveyed the desolation, while the other party continued to report, and he finally remembered the almost forgotten gloom.
The gloomy duchess is still the best.
"Summoning" doesn't require him to expend any energy. If he hadn't absorbed too much chaotic energy in the spacetime rift, he wouldn't have developed any rebellious thoughts even after several hundred years.
Such an existence is incomparable to the inanimate object before us.
It's not advisable to return to Moe Academy anytime soon. After he obtains supreme power and destroys Moe Academy, he should personally go to the underground sewers to retrieve her.
"Wait, you just said that the vampires and the quark race have formed a friendly alliance?"
“Yes,” Huangwu repeated, “it was signed by Vampire King Lanbao and Elder Kendrick of the Elder Council, and it is the highest level of magical contract.”
The Dark Emperor fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he casually waved his hand, as if using some kind of low-level magic to conjure up a cat or dog, and a new subordinate appeared below him.
Perhaps the form born from the spirit stone could be even more refined, but the Dark Emperor has never pursued refinement.
As long as the tools work, everything else is secondary.
This action consumed a lot of his energy. Fortunately, he had the energy of the vampire king from the barren land as a foundation. Otherwise, having consumed so much energy fighting the enemy, he probably wouldn't even be able to maintain a simple physical form now.
"Summon Soul, return to the Dark Clan and lead a portion of the Dark Legion to cause some trouble for the Vampire Clan."
It would be quite troublesome to go to the vampire clan ahead. Since the quark clan has taken the initiative to build the passage, it would be a shame not to take advantage of Kendall's good intentions.
"And while you're at it, make some stuff for the vampire clan. The Vampire King has been ruling too easily; he actually dares to go against me, the Dark Emperor!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huanhun rose, glanced deeply at the desolation, and slowly retreated.
The desolation did not look at him.
"Go get it for me... never mind." The other members of the Dark Clan aren't dead. Once the energy potion is ready, have Soul Summoner come back.
Or he could personally make another trip to the Moe Academy.
"You stay right here and don't go anywhere."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After leaving and returning to his residence, Huangwu stood there for a long time.
"The 'modeling' of the Soul Summoner is really sloppy."
That was the first thing she said.
"I just looked like an idiot."
This is the second sentence.
"His foolish appearance was seen by the soul summoner."
This is the third sentence.
If you complain again, you'll have to do it yourself next time.
"No, I don't want to. If I expose the Dark Emperor, he'll just use a different method, and I'll really be a fool."
How can a person fall twice on the same thing?
Looking at her face in the mirror, she thought about the last time she was described as an inanimate object, which was back then...
Last time.
forget.
This kind of description was very common two hundred years ago.
However, she was only told this to her face a handful of times.
"Dong dong dong."
Rui Bu Si put down the mirror: "Come in."
Zhen Guangming walked in carrying a bunch of magic drinks, his smile as obsequious as ever: "My lord, I've brought you the magic drinks you requested."
"Oh, put it here. The Emperor has returned safely and is in a good mood. You can go and wander in front of him."
"Okay, okay." Zhen Guangming left with an even more fawning smile.
Magic drinks are not easy to find, but compared to relying on his meager magical abilities to compete with wealthy tycoons for gold coins, they are not impossible to find.
Although this man's behavior was strange and unpredictable, sometimes looking frightening, his smile gave one the feeling that he might meet the King of Hell at any moment.
Sometimes she is very easygoing, and seems to agree with whatever you say;
And sometimes—especially these last two days—his expression would become blank, no, unfathomable.
But no matter what, this person was always very easy to talk to.
The fact that he has been by her side for so long without being punished speaks volumes.
There's no punishment, no life-threatening missions, and my unpredictable temper isn't a big deal.
After all, how many of the important figures in the Dark Clan are normal? Those who are normal wouldn't live more than two days.
After the door closed, Ruibusi picked up a glass of magic drink and tried it.
Feel nothing.
One of your subordinates happens to be able to cook your favorite flavor.
"Hmm? Xiao Jinzhao? Hmm, it's not a matter of liking or disliking, it's just that I'm used to it. People always have a special feeling about things they're used to. Like now, if it's a familiar taste, I'll probably feel very at ease."
[Little Jinzhao? Xu Xingchun?]
"Yes, the former names and given names are all pretty much the same."
Not everyone will find it similar. You should call her by her name.
"Hmm? Is that so?" She picked up another magic drink. "That's a pity. I really wish I had this chance again."
"Xiao Jinzhao has done a lot, and that person has memory problems." That person refers to Zhen Guangming, who just left.
"Not only that, the Dark Emperor is looking for her, but she has never told me this."
[You never asked, and you never even considered taking her back to the Dark Clan.]
"Yes, yes." Putting down the cup, she lost interest in trying again and sighed, "Fortunately, even though the child is grown up, she is still obedient. If she insists on coming along, I will have to use some force."
[Like the mystery of the planet Ya?]
"he?"
“Honey, we’re almost at the finish line. Can’t we have a heart-to-heart talk? Your doubts really upset me.”
She stated emphatically, "Of course I did that because I didn't want my lover to forget me, the 'deceased,' there was no other purpose!"
I simply mentioned his name; I didn't mean anything more, nor did I ask any further questions.
"Oh, really? Forgive me, my dear, the Dark Clan is naturally suspicious and prone to overthinking."
Mysterious Star.
How far along is his analysis?
Smart people can be a real headache sometimes.
I hope to avoid running into Soul Caller as much as possible.
Mind reading can be a real headache sometimes.
It's even more of a headache when paired with a user who lacks manners and morality.
