Chapter 578
"Could you... would you be willing to help?"
Herta was initially taken aback, since Ninti looked like a child. But then she realized that this child was actually a terrifying stellar-level life form.
In addition, Black Tower's attitude towards her has been noticeably warmer these past two days. Although Herta is still unaware of the truth, it at least proves that Ninti is extraordinary.
"I will prepare an amount that will satisfy you!"
Herta gave an OK sign, her eyes and mood exceptionally excited.
Great, I missed out on the limited edition Star Destroyer again, which saves me some money. But in a couple of days, Mom will probably complain that I didn't spend enough money, and then she'll start worrying about all sorts of things.
If we set aside this money as a reward and add a little more to cover this month's expenses, the family should stop nagging.
'Hey, what a win-win situation!'
Herta smiled, her eyes crinkling like a crescent moon.
Himeko simply smiled and watched without saying a word.
After all, this was actually a good thing for Herta. By getting in touch with the Black Tower, she could temporarily extricate herself from the family business dispute. If money were then sent through Herta's account to a new member of the Genius Club, whose details had not yet been released, it would be equivalent to getting in touch with Ninti again.
If she were to become acquainted with both geniuses—anyone who dares to bother Herta with matters of family feuds in the future will be the first to face repercussions from the company.
Ninti didn't care about this. Money might require some maneuvering before becoming Emanator, but if she still cared about it after becoming Emanator, then what was the point of meeting the Vessel of Knowledge?
'I'll capture a few Antimatter Legion and study their destructive power. While I'm at it, I'll see what the Fragmentum looks like and how it differs from my Void Authority.'
Ninti for a moment, then casually walked deeper into the space station.
[Report: I have logged into Yalilo-VI and am feeling good.]
Ninti can no longer spread her clones, but Anqi, who has the ability to travel between stars, is not the only one now.
In the world of ice and snow, the mountains and plains are covered with a layer of crystal, as if the world is made of crystal, spotless and beautiful.
Of course, only a superhuman like Anqi can appreciate these views.
For a normal person, this is an extremely cold hell where they would be turned into an ice sculpture if they stayed for even a moment longer.
'This shows that the possibility of indigenous civilizations becoming extinct is not only not impossible, but quite high.'
Anqi, like a phantom of black mist, drifted above the glacier and delivered a cold-blooded judgment.
She doesn't need to apologize. First, this isn't her civilization, and second, it wasn't her doing. Judging from the thickness and area of the ice layer, this wasn't something that happened overnight; the planet has probably been frozen for hundreds of years.
The Anqi Faction has no responsibility or obligation to a civilization that perished hundreds of years ago... In short, don't dwell on this kind of thing, or it will never end.
Don't jump to conclusions. Search high and low, above and below ground. If they're extinct, that's the easiest way. But if there are still cities holding out, then we need to think about that more carefully.
'I see.'
The Anqi Core, which has not yet formed a body or attached itself to anything, exists in the form of black mist, rising with the wind and drifting towards the other side of the planet.
She was able to quickly confirm whether there was an indigenous civilization here, and then make the next plan.
Half an hour later, the black mist lingered on the high ground left by the frozen Doomsday Beast, gazing at the magnificent and massive ring-shaped capital city not far away.
'So... there really is an indigenous civilization still holding out. The city is called Belobog, and the ruler is... oh, the Great Guardian Cocolia.'
Cocolia?
[The God of Civil War!]
That jerk!?
The black mist listened to the conversation of the Silvermane Guards guarding the border not far away, and then startled the sharp explosions that rose and fell in Anqi Network.
Of course, this is not a criticism of Cocolia Anqi, but rather a criticism of Cocolia who has been completely devoured by Anqi.
I feel something's wrong!
Even if it's a clone of Cocolia, she definitely possesses the attributes of a god-tier character in civil wars!
Investigate! Find out the truth for me!
No wonder Anqi Faction excited.
It's really... that's Cocolia, that Cocolia! You all know what I mean, right?
Black Mist Anqi nodded with a very solemn expression.
Her intuition told her that this Great Guardian Cocolia, even if not the original Cocolia from Earth, must have some serious problems.
Then the black fog seeped into the city.
An isolated city, cut off from interstellar space for so long, has no one who understands the splendor and wonder of interstellar space, and even less likely anyone who knows about the Honkai. Therefore, Anqi in as if she were in an empty place.
She traversed the streets, passing libraries and museums, listening to all sorts of intelligence along the way. Finally, the Black Mist Anqi arrived at the most towering and magnificent central castle—known locally as Kriper Castle.
