Super God: Myriad Worlds Drifting Bottle

Han Fei first chose to place the talisman on the chest of a beautiful woman's figurine.

Under Han Fei's expectant gaze.

The talisman emitted a faint glow and slowly merged into the figurine's chest.

The light intensified.

Chapter 21: Research on the Rat Talisman (Part 1)

The light disappeared.

What came into view was a small figure.

A man wearing martial arts attire, with red hair and muscular build, leaped and dodged into a corner.

"Who are you?! How did I, Black Tiger Afu, end up here! Wait! A giant? What do you want?! My boss is Walong!"

"Who am I?"

In Han Fei's eyes.

This small figure, with normal skin and demeanor, indistinguishable from a normal person except for its much smaller size, was a completely normal life form.

"Incredible."

He pinched it gently between two fingers.

"Antelope Hanging Horns, Black Tiger Steals Heart, Divine Dragon Swings Tail!"

He struggled desperately, his martial arts moves were quick and precise, showing he had real skill, but he was too small.

Han Fei, meanwhile, explored with curious eyes.

"Black Star, do you think this is a life form?"

"Master, that depends on your definition of life."

"According to philosophical terms, anything that can think is a life form."

"But from a biological perspective, something without active behavior can only be called an inanimate object."

"Or perhaps, in a deeper philosophical sense, a person has three deaths and three lives..."

"Alright, alright, you're a smart AI discussing life with me." Han Fei waved his hand, stopping Black Star's incessant chatter.

"Never mind, you conduct the scan."

Han Fei threw it into the instrument.

"Yes."

Watching Black Tiger Afu, who was still cursing inside, Han Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of pity.

But it was fleeting.

He watched with a cold gaze.

Soon, Black Star controlled the machine and sent it out.

It looked completely dejected, lying on the floor as if it had been thoroughly played with, appearing somewhat comical.

"Whatever?..._?..."

"Master, no matter from what aspect we examine it, this is a life form."

"Is that so?" Han Fei nodded, understanding dawning on him.

"I wonder how long it can exist. After it disappears, will it still have its memories when it reappears? Will it be the same one? Also, I don't have the Wind Talisman, so can I only retrieve the talisman by killing it?"

"Moreover, I haven't experimented with characters who have supernatural powers. I don't know if their powers will still exist, if they will be weakened, if I can extract their knowledge, and if their knowledge is useful in this world."

Han Fei had many questions.

But unfortunately, he wasn't a qualified researcher.

He simply listed the questions and handed them over to Black Star.

Han Fei sat on a chair, drinking black tea, and waited quietly.

Time ticked by, little by little.

He waited for a whole day.

When Black Star's instrument opened again.

Black Tiger Afu's voice was gone, replaced by a broken clay figurine and the talisman.

"Master, according to the experiment, the talisman can only be retrieved by killing the other party or if they willingly give it up. Also, after disappearing, when it reappears, it will retain the memories from the previous time, but it's uncertain if it can still be considered the same individual."

"If not interfered with, the other party seems to be able to exist indefinitely. At least, there were no signs of disappearance within 12 hours."

Listening to Black Star's report, Han Fei gradually formed an outline of the Rat Talisman's power.

"Then, let's continue."

Han Fei held the talisman and walked over to a pile of figurines.

A day had passed.

He collected more figurines, all sorts of fantasy works.

Tiga Ultraman, Icarus, Belldandy, GG Bond, Lazy Goat…

Without exception, these figurines shared one characteristic.

Small.

Very small.

About half the size of a palm.

And they were all kept inside cages.

This was all to restrain them.

"Alright, let's begin with Tiga."

Tiga!!

A flash of light.

Tiga, a mix of red, purple, and white, struck a pose as he appeared.

?!!

He looked around in confusion.

Then he looked at himself.

Finally, he looked at the bars of the cage.

A Zepellion beam was fired.

It instantly broke several iron bars.

He flew out of nowhere.

However, the next moment.

Slap!

A giant steel palm slapped him back.

A massive robot stood outside the cage.

"Master, according to the recent data, the revived Ultraman possesses strength, but it conforms to his own body size and has not exceeded the limit. He is still within the recovery range."

"The Rat Talisman can't revive things indefinitely. If I revive a giant, full-sized Tiga, will he really possess the original power?

Impossible. We don't even know if the Holy Lord's own power is that strong, let alone just one part of his power, and divine power in the form of a talisman." Han Fei had a clear understanding of this.

"Black Star, try to communicate, see if you can establish contact, and then see if you can control him."

This was the crucial part.

Black Star controlled the robot and began to speak.

Chinese.

Japanese.

English.

German.

The robot spoke hundreds of Earth languages.

Tiga reacted but showed no intention of conversing.

Instead, he launched continuous attacks.

Various beams flew wildly.

Don't underestimate their size; their combat power was truly terrifying. The entire large iron cage was unrecognizable, and the surrounding New Titanium Alloy floor was pockmarked.

This was brand new alloy!

However, relatively speaking.

It hadn't even been three minutes, and the light on his chest began to flash wildly.

Then.

To Han Fei's stunned gaze, Tiga disintegrated!!

"What the heck?"

"What the hell?!"

"Could it be that running out of energy is also a way to obtain the talisman?"

Looking at Tiga, who had disintegrated into a figurine, and the talisman beside him, Han Fei thought so.

After that, Han Fei prepared to experiment with a new figurine.

However, at this moment.

Black Star sent a message.

"Master, Lab Two claims they've made a significant research breakthrough, possibly solving Lab One's armor energy-carrying issues."

Han Fei's brow furrowed deeply.

It was like being engrossed in a game when something more important happens, like your mom calling you for dinner; you'd be conflicted.

"Master, there's no need to rush. Also, Zhao Xin has sent a dinner invitation request, the military has sent a new list of instructors for the body-tempering techniques (Eight Extremes Heaven Basic Style - Body Tempering), and foreign scientists have found a suitable target. The specific plan still requires your confirmation..."

"Alright, I get it. So many things, damn it!"

"I hope Lab Two isn't exaggerating."

Han Fei, somewhat annoyed, recalled all the talismans and left the secret room.

Han Fei had established many laboratories, but the largest and best ones totaled only five.

The first was Lab One, which, split into two divisions, handled genetics and armor, effectively occupying two slots. The second was Lab Two, the one he was heading to now, which researched mechanical items. Many of the things he'd retrieved from the bottles were brought here.

For example, the crippled mecha, half a VR helmet, and a small spaceship model, among others.

And then there was Lab Three.

That laboratory was originally responsible for materials research, such as the New Titanium Alloy. However, due to Liu Chuang's situation, it was traded to Dukao, though the most valuable parts had already been moved out beforehand.

Now, it was only responsible for some ordinary research.

Besides these, there was one last laboratory.

That was Han Fei's own private laboratory, completely separate from the others, unknown to anyone.

It contained secret techniques for Han Fei's personal cultivation, as well as items from other worlds that had strange effects in this world and were difficult to analyze.

It served as both a research room and a storage room.

Some items were kept there that possessed great danger.
