"Crackling sound~ Crackling sound~"

Seeing the constantly flashing eerie purple electric current, the Veiled Person guarding the experimental table instantly tensed up.

"How could this be? (The veiled man)"

"This guy's magic power is increasing at a bizarre rate; something bad is about to happen. I'll keep an eye on things here; you go and inform Lord Brian immediately!" (Veiled Woman)

"Good!"

After speaking, the veiled man turned and walked towards the corridor behind him.

A moment later, a series of slightly hurried footsteps echoed in the dimly lit corridor.

"How is the situation?"

Hearing the steady voice coming from the darkness, the veiled woman bowed towards the depths of the corridor and said, "Her magic power is still increasing at a rate that is close to dangerous."

"Oh?"

After the initial surprise subsided, the hurried pace of the footsteps instantly increased significantly.

Suddenly, two figures walked out of the corridor one after the other and came to the edge of the experimental table.

"Um?"

After lingering on the subject's lips for a few seconds, the White-Haired Man in the lead asked softly, "Has it been like this for the past few days?"

"Although her magic power has been increasing at a steady rate these past few days, nothing like what happened today has ever occurred before. (Veiled Woman)"

"I see, how interesting!"

"Sir, we must stop the experiment immediately, otherwise, it could very well trigger a violent explosion!" (Veilted Man)

The White-Haired Man seemed not to hear the warning from the person behind him and continued, "I originally thought she might be one of the five candidates I was looking for... but now it seems she probably can't complete the bio-connection with me."

"Sir!? (Veil man, woman)"

"Upgrade the power to maximum!"

"But... (the veiled woman)"

"That's an order!"

Sensing the chilling aura emanating from ahead, the two dared not say anything more and nodded in agreement.

After dealing with the two idiots behind him, the White-Haired Man gave the girl below a meaningful smile, then turned and walked back the way he came.

"I've got what I needed, now I'll trouble you to take care of everything for me!" (The white-haired man's inner thoughts)

Watching the White-Haired Man disappear into the darkness, the veiled duo exchanged a glance.

"Really...?" (The veiled woman)

"Do we even have a choice?" (The veiled man)

"But... (the veiled woman)"

"Heh! It's just turning the power up to the highest level, it's not like it'll explode right away, what are we so scared of!" (Veilted Man)

"Oh~~ (Veiled woman)"

Looking back at the unfinished New Moon, the White-Haired Man chuckled, "I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting being, but unfortunately, we're not compatible at all... Ah, maybe that guy will be useful!"

As he spoke, the White-Haired Man stretched his right hand forward a short distance, and the next second, a ball of oily green light flashed in the air.

A moment later, the ball of light dissipated, and a Communication Magic Crystal appeared in his palm.

"Buzz!"

As the White-Haired Man gradually exerted his strength, the Communication Magic Crystal emitted a burst of green light, and then an old face appeared on the empty Crystal ball.

"Heh! I never expected that the renowned Lord Brian would actually contact me!"

Hearing the other party's sarcasm, the White-Haired Man was not angry. Instead, he chuckled and replied, "I've long heard that President Hades is stubborn and inflexible, but I never expected to meet him today... Haha! Rumors are truly terrifying!"

"Chairman Wu, you contacted me today... it wasn't just to chat, was it?"

Seeing that the other party had gotten to the point, Brian didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "I have a promising talent here, but unfortunately we don't get along. If you're interested, you can come and take a look! Oh... by the way, you'd better hurry, because she'll be free soon!"

"When did Chairman Wu become so kind and compassionate?"

"Heh! I have no reason to refuse such a profitable deal as exchanging a useless chess piece for a favor from Chairman Hades!"

"Thank you!"

"Need not!"

After saying that, Brian withdrew the magic power and the dulled Communication Magic Crystal from his hand, and then walked straight towards the snowfield on one side.

"Young Miss, you stay here and carry out the plan. I'm going to loot some spoils!" (The following are all coded messages)

"Little Suo, you are supposed to be the ruler of a country, how can you even take advantage of such a small thing?"

"Young Miss, I don't want this either, but I have no choice. My country has a weak foundation and poor roots, and it is surrounded by powerful enemies. If we don't seize the opportunity to grow stronger, we will be wiped out in no time! Besides, this place is about to be destroyed. Rather than let it be consumed by fire, I would rather take it with me."

Hearing someone's explanation, the young lady who was suspended in mid-air was speechless.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do it!"

"Miss Xie!"

"Hey... wait a minute!"

"Young Miss, is there anything else you need?"

"I'm about to lose control of the flow of magic, so you'd better hurry!"

"Hehe! I didn't expect the young lady to care about me so much. I'm so touched that I'd like to offer myself to her!"

"Offer yourself in return?"

"Hehe! I don't have any objections, as long as you can withstand the mixed doubles attack from Ulu and Irene."

Upon hearing this, the person who had just been quite excited was instantly speechless.

"Hey, Little Suo, are you still there?"

"Hello!?"

"Miss, please continue with your work. I won't disturb you any longer!"

Upon hearing someone's crestfallen reply, the lady's inner universe exploded, giving birth to countless 'hahaha' galaxies (the 2333 Galaxy). Of course, the lady's external world remained unchanged, because her brain was still under the control of reason and she remembered the task on her shoulders.

Although the Bandit had reformed long ago, his bandit nature had never disappeared. Moreover, he had never relaxed his skills training in this area, and his database contained combat experience from four hundred years ago. Therefore, this relocation work was not difficult for him at all.

So how exactly does this thing work?

It's very simple! He first rushed straight to the archives area based on what he knew, then used Space Magic to cut the entire archives area off the building. Next, he placed the completed archives area into his storage space. (Haha! Didn't expect Old Suo's method of scavenging to be so simple and brutal, did you?)

Just as he finished collecting his spoils, a commotion suddenly arose below.

"Oh no! It's going to explode!"

"Buzz!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Suo raised his right hand and slashed forward. Then, he leaped into the purple crack in front of him.

"Boom!"

Just as the purple crack was smoothed out, a violent explosion came from below, followed by a rolling wave of fire that turned the entire New Moon into a sea of flames.

"Boom!"

Because someone hollowed out the building, the crescent New Moon, which should have stood firm, was now broken in half.

"Boom!"

Looking at the huge crater in front of her and the crescent New Moon that was only half left in the distance, the disheveled young lady angrily complained, "Damn it! This isn't looting, it's blatant house-destroying!"

"Um?"

"Could this reaction be...?"

After confirming her suspicions, the young lady adjusted her gaze and then headed in a certain direction.

"President, there's a violent energy reaction ahead, suspected to be an explosion caused by a magical surge." (Member A)

"Oh~~"

Seeing the white-bearded old man's expression, Member A cautiously asked, "President, what about us...?"

"You all stay here, I'll go check it out!"

"Yes!"

"Crunch"

"Crunch"

The sound of the snow being crushed stopped abruptly, followed by a sharp, delicate shout that echoed through the night sky over the snowy plains.

Ah~~

As the sound waves spread, an invisible force surged forth from the Black-haired girl's body.

"Whoosh!"

The instant the invisible force vanished, an old man with a white beard, wearing a leather helmet and holding a magic wand, appeared on the ground where the snow had been cleared.

"Little girl, don't be nervous, I mean no harm!"

After the old man finished speaking, the Black-haired girl ignored him and walked straight to the side.

"Little girl, your power is great, but your method of using it is too crude."

"Stop bothering me, or I'll kill you!"

She coldly uttered those words, then the Black-haired girl walked away without looking back, deliberately speeding up to get rid of the annoying old man.

"Little girl, you cannot achieve your wish on your own!"

Upon hearing this, the Black-haired girl, who was walking quickly, stopped and turned her head to ask, "Do you have a way?"

"Certainly!"

If you lie to me, I will make you wish you were dead!

Upon hearing the girl's threat, the white-bearded old man laughed and said, "Now can you tell me your name?"

"Ultear!"

"What a beautiful name!"

"Are you done rambling?"

"It's over!"

"Then what are you still standing there for?"

Looking at the Black-haired girl's cold and hard face (and attitude), the white-bearded old man smiled and then extended his right palm in invitation to her.

Having taken in everything that was happening in the mortal realm, the excited His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but shout, "Well done!"

"You did a great job too! (Aquarius)"

"Bang!"

"Thump!"

After recovering from the impact, the ground-hugging toad looked up and shouted, "Aquarius, what are you doing?!"

"What did I do? You'd have to ask what you just did first!"

After enduring his headache and recalling what had just happened, the big jerk Sordil said in bewilderment, "I only borrowed your eyes to observe the situation in Asland, was it necessary to get so angry?"

Upon hearing this, the hashtag above Aquarius's head instantly expanded several times over, and at the same time, her fiery backdrop extended by several meters.

"You pervert! You took advantage of me and now you dare to deny it!"

After gritting her teeth and uttering the last word, the blue-haired mermaid raised the silver water jug high in her hand and then slammed it down forcefully.
