[Cocoon of the Doll] and [Butterfly Transformation]

"Yes, so you're thinking of repaying me with your body?"

"Absolutely not."

"That's great, because I personally prefer you to be my slave."

Q: What's the difference between being a slave and offering oneself in marriage?

A: One is the afterlife, and the other is this life.

As for how to choose...

"..."

"Old Worm, wait a minute. If Matou Kariya brings Sakura to see me, just let him into the bar. Never mind, I'm not closing the door." After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo walked into the bar.

As Chen Luo's puppet and follower, Corrupted Ji Lin naturally went back with Chen Luo. In fact, Corrupted Ji Lin wanted to go home, but Chen Luo didn't allow it.

Although Corrupted Ji Lin felt that if he came home late, he would be nagged by Ji Lin again, Chen Luo wouldn't allow it.

So, just a few seconds later, the only person in the entire insect chamber who belonged to an outsider from another world was Yakumo Yukari.

Yakumo Yukari looked at Chen Luo, who had already returned to the bar, and then looked at the world around her, feeling slightly conflicted.

This is my first time in Different World. Am I really going to have to go back to the bar and end my first world tour after only a few minutes here?

Yakumo Yukari sensed a slight connection between this world and herself. She could even sense a mysterious entity hovering above her, containing what she sought, but...

Although she had a strange connection with that mysterious being, it was just a connection; there was a huge barrier between them, separating Yakumo Yukari from that mysterious being.

Now, Yakumo Yukari desperately needs a hole, a hole that can break down this huge barrier.

"Is that the root of the problem?" Yakumo Yukari looked up at the sky.

Yakumo Yukari's ability to manipulate boundaries is a terrifying power capable of overturning everything from its very source.

Honestly, if Chen Luo hadn't given Yakumo Yukari identity, she might have been directly identified as a "beast" when she came to this world.

Just kidding.

Yakumo Yukari possesses extremely high inherent abilities, but her demonic power is somewhat lacking. Simply put, she doesn't exert enough force.

However, since she is a youkai herself, and her abilities are so dangerous, it wouldn't be a problem to send one or more Grand Masters to keep an eye on Yakumo Yukari. Especially if Yakumo Yukari stays in this world for a while longer, she might be able to use her Gap/Space Manipulation abilities to travel to parallel worlds.

Unlike Chen Luo, Chen Luo was a Traveler with no physical strength.

"Yakumo Yukari, what are you still standing there for? Come in quickly, I've completed the request, it's time to perform the ability slice surgery." Chen Luo shouted to Yakumo Yukari in the bar.

"..." Yakumo Yukari's originally solemn face instantly fell.

Yes, that's it.

Yakumo Yukari has always wanted to escape.

Although a contract is a contract and it must be executed, people who are meant to suffer will still suffer when they encounter such situations.

Damn it, why did I agree to such an outrageous request before?

Yakumo Yukari walked into the bar, feeling annoyed.

"Oh, so this is a slice of my ability?" Yakumo Yukari said, looking at the slightly transparent ball of light emitting a faint purple glow inside the Crystal Ball.

Although Yakumo Yukari resisted the act of slicing, she had no choice but to do so, given that she had signed a contract.

The slicing process is not complicated; in fact, it is quite simple.

It almost exhausted Chen Luo to the point of being mentally unstable.

Even now, Chen Luo is still lying on the table, looking rather sickly.

"I don't feel like my abilities have been lost at all." Looking at the power fragments in the Crystal Ball and clenching her hands, Yakumo Yukari turned to Chen Luo and asked.

"I already said, I only need 1/10,000, what impact will that have on you?" Chen Luo complained weakly.

"Then how did you become like this?" Yakumo Yukari asked, looking at Chen Luo, who was being manipulated by the Herrscher of Knowledge but did not want to resist at all.

"Because your abilities are inherently very high."

Yakumo Yukari's talent level is the same as Chen Luo's, both being SS rank.

Chen Luo's Stripping Ability is only part of his SS-rank Talent.

Asking Chen Luo to use his SS rank derivative ability to strip away his SS-rank Talent is really asking too much of Chen Luo.

Especially since Yakumo Yukari only allowed him to cut 1/10000 of the capacity, it made it even more difficult for Chen Luo to proceed.

But hard work pays off, and Chen Luo at least obtained a fragment of Yakumo Yukari's ability.

Chen Luo reached out and hooked the Crystal Ball that Yakumo Yukari Chen Luo holding, pulling it directly into his hand.

Looking at the Crystal Ball in his hand, Chen Luo squeezed Crystal Ball hard, crushing it. At the same time, he took the pale purple ball of light in his hand and then... swallowed it in one gulp.

"Holy crap, Chen Luo, what did you do?" Standing next to him, Yakumo Yukari looked at Chen Luo with some fear.

When she was enveloped by the Crystal Ball, Yakumo Yukari didn't feel anything unusual. But after watching Chen Luo swallow the slices of her ability, Yakumo Yukari suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously.

Because a person's talent, especially a talent of Yakumo Yukari's caliber, is often bound to the other person's soul.

"Nonsense, of course it's for eating. Otherwise, why would I need your ability slices as decorations?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Yakumo Yukari before looking at his ability panel.

[Realm] (Level A)

"..." Looking at the only A-rank Talent standing out among all the S-level and above talents, Chen Luo felt a little awkward.

This is too much for someone with OCD!

Chapter 555 [The Cocoon of the Puppet] and [The Metamorphosis into a Butterfly]

"Sigh." Chen Luo sighed.

Chen Luo never expected that even after reducing his share to 1/10000, he would still still have an A-rank Talent.

Are SS-rank Talent really that outrageous?

Well, thinking about my SS-rank Talent carefully, it does seem pretty outrageous.

"It's still too high."

Chen Luo originally thought that if he reduced the share to 1/10000, perhaps Yakumo Yukari's SS-rank Talent could be reduced to a B-rank Talent. In that case, with the cost of B-rank Talent, Chen Luo would be able to download a considerable number of the dolls.

The maximum cost a puppet can possess is tied to various attributes such as the opponent's strength, soul strength, and mental strength.

There had never been a puppet with Chen Luo's abilities before. It wasn't that Chen Luo hadn't shared those S-rank Talent; in fact, they could have applied to Chen Luo if they wanted them. But the problem was that no one could afford the cost of obtaining an S-rank Talent.

But if it's B-rank Talent, then it's much simpler.

However, it's not B-rank Talent now, but A-rank Talent, which means there are very few puppets that can download this ability.

Glancing at Yvette standing next to him, Chen Luo added a new item to her Collective Network list.

When Yvette noticed the anomaly in the Collective Network and saw the thing pinned to the top, she glanced at Chen Luo with some surprise, and then at Yakumo Yukari with even more surprise.

Among Chen Luo's puppets, there are very few puppets that can download A-rank Talent, but Yvette happens to be one of them.

"Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" Yakumo Yukari frowned subconsciously when she saw the looks in Chen Luo and Yvette's eyes.

"I think you are indeed exceptionally talented, Yakumo Yukari," Chen Luo said.

"That's right. So what exactly did you get?" Yakumo Yukari asked curiously.

"The Boundary Manipulation, and the Gap/Space Manipulation." Chen Luo generously showed them to Yakumo Yukari.

"Hahaha, no way, this is what you call Gap/Space Manipulation?" Looking at the Gap/Space Manipulation that Chen Luo showed her, Yakumo Yukari almost laughed her head off.

The crowd looked over in the direction of the sound and then saw a Gap/Space Manipulation about 20 centimeters long next to Chen Luo.

"..." Chen Luo covered his face.

Chen Luo had just acquired his Boundary Manipulation and was only able to use the Gap/Space Manipulation thanks to his Furniture Mastery; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to even use the Gap/Space Manipulation.

Furthermore, since there is only a 1/10000 share, Chen Luo's talent level is only A-grade, so it's normal that he seems a bit weak.

Proficiency is proficiency, and strength is strength.

It would be absurd if Chen Luo could summon a Gap/Space Manipulation that rivals Yakumo Yukari right now.

However, seeing Yakumo Yukari laughing loudly, Chen Luo opened the Gap/Space Manipulation and reached his hand inside.

"Wow." A hand suddenly appeared in front of her, startling Yakumo Yukari.

Of course, what angered Yakumo Yukari even more was that the hand that was raised was a middle finger.

However, this was not what Yakumo Yukari was most concerned about. What she was most concerned about was that the Gap/Space Manipulation that Chen Luo had summoned and appeared in front of her had suddenly become unstable.

"Holy crap." Seeing the instability in the Gap/Space Manipulation, Chen Luo immediately pulled his hand back.

Just two seconds later, the details that Chen Luo had pulled out instantly collapsed.

"Tsk. The way you're using this Gap/Space Manipulation might just kill you." Yakumo Yukari clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Emmm..."

Chen Luo had no way to refute it.

The bad news is that I just acquired this talent and haven't fully developed it yet, so the Gap/Space Manipulation is unstable.

The good news is that there are signs when the Gap/Space Manipulation is unstable, so there's no need to worry about being jolted off when Gap/Space Manipulation.

"Hey, Yakumo Yukari, how about you give me another 1/100,000 of your talent slices?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

Regardless, the fact that this ability is usable is good news.

If Chen Luo had acquired his abilities through Primogem, even if they were also A-grade, he could quickly master the Boundary Manipulation and Gap/Space Manipulation. However, since Chen Luo obtained his abilities through talent slices, he needs to develop them slowly.

"Impossible," Yakumo Yukari shook her head.

"Emmm..."

Chen Luo had originally hoped that obtaining a 1/100,000 slice would give him a B-rank Talent.

In this way, if you give any puppet and have them upload this B-level ability to the Collective Network, many people will be able to obtain this ability.

But since Yakumo Yukari refused, then forget it.

"... You're Sakura? There are so many people named Sakura around." Looking at the little girl with purple hair in front of him, whose eyes had lost their sparkle, Chen Luo said weakly.

Although Chen Luo only cut off 1/10000 of Yakumo Yukari's slice, the problem was that it was really hard work, since it involved stripping away the abilities of another SS-rank Talent Holder.

Ah, wait a minute.

Here's the problem.

Now that Chen Luo also possesses this talent, could we strip away 1/10 of Chen Luo's ability, downgrade it to B-rank Talent, and then give it to someone else?

Chen Luo suddenly stood up.

Startled by Chen Luo's sudden action, Sakura took a step back and looked at Chen Luo timidly.

Although the uncle in front of him seemed like a good person, many people around him did not, so Chen Luo made Matou Sakura very wary.

Especially the Old Worm standing respectfully beside Chen Luo made Matou Sakura feel a little scared.

Although Matou Sakura had been tormented by the Old Worm for a year, she should have gotten used to it by now. But it was precisely because she had been tormented for a year that her fear of the other party became so deeply ingrained.

Even though Sakura's eyes have lost their sparkle, her fear of Matou Zouken remains etched in her heart.

"Ah, I'm sorry, don't be too scared. I'm here to help you. As you can see, I'm a Traveler, a Traveler who grants wishes. I accepted your Uncle Kariya's wish that you would make this family normal again, so I gave this Old Worm a good beating, a few 'Friendship Face-Breaker Punch,' and he became normal. It's hard to believe, but he won't let you go to the basement anymore." Chen Luo said kindly to Matou Sakura.

"R-Really?" Hearing Chen Luo's words, which sounded like she was coaxing a child, Matou Sakura seemed to actually believe it.

"Of course, why would your big brother lie to you?" Chen Luo tried his best to coax her patiently.

Chen Luo dislikes coaxing children, except for Herrscher of Knowledge.

So...

"Come on, Sakura, let's shake hands." Chen Luo extended his right hand to Sakura.

"Oh." Sakura looked at Uncle Kariya and then at the Old Worm. After confirming that neither of them objected, she extended her hand to the uncle who seemed trustworthy.

Hello, Uncle.
