Then I'll Trust You This Once

Quintessa's words instantly put Tang Chuan on alert.

He immediately manipulated his Fantasy Attribute, conjuring a golden curved saber in his hand. The golden saber then shifted its shape, transforming into a submachine gun. The submachine gun changed again, becoming a disc-shaped flying saucer.

With a wave of his hand, the Fantasy Attribute dissipated. The flying saucer exploded into a swarm of colorful butterflies, scattering in all directions before vanishing.

Tang Chuan asked strangely, "I can still control it, and there doesn't seem to be any major issue with the Fantasy Attribute. Why can't you use it?"

Quintessa shook her head and explained, "It's not like that, Master. The parts you can use, I can still use. The problem lies with the Divine Transformation Device.

I had a strange feeling earlier when the weapon turned into a watch. It was only when you were immersed in the Cosmic Sandbox and using the Divine Transformation Device that I truly discovered something was wrong.

The Divine Transformation Device must have been affected by your divine power. The portion of the Fantasy Attribute it occupies has been 'solidified' and can no longer undergo fantasy transformations."

Tang Chuan frowned, vaguely understanding Quintessa's meaning. He directly controlled the Divine Transformation Device and found no issues with its operation.

However, when he tried to extract that portion of the Fantasy Attribute to transform it into something else, he discovered...

It was as stable as a mountain.

He absolutely could not make the Divine Transformation Device change its appearance.

Tang Chuan frowned and asked, "What's the reason for this?"

Quintessa replied, "I suspect it's because your divine power level is too high. Even the scraps left over by the Sovereign, which they deemed useless, are still not something a Fantasy Weapon can easily bear.

Even though, from a macro perspective, both divine power and Fantasy Weapons are products of high-dimensional beings, your divine power is of a higher dimension!

The Divine Transformation Device acts like a filter, capable of infinitely diluting a very small portion of the Sovereign's useless divine power, allowing you to barely use it.

But since it's dilution, there's naturally some overflow, and quite a bit of it. Thus, that portion of the Fantasy Attribute occupied by the Divine Transformation Device has been 'eroded.'

It's like how a funnel made of ordinary material can filter acid, but after only a few uses, the funnel will be corroded by the acid and gradually lose its properties.

I don't know if you can understand it this way, but the problem we are facing now is that this portion of the Fantasy Attribute has been completely destroyed in the process of filtering and diluting divine power.

Although the Divine Transformation Device itself should be fine, it will forever remain the Divine Transformation Device and cannot be used for other purposes through the Fantasy Attribute."

Tang Chuan finally understood.

So, even the leftovers from the Sovereign, a high-dimensional product like a Fantasy Weapon, couldn't bear it?

Tang Chuan asked, "What percentage of the total quota does that damaged portion of the Fantasy Attribute occupy?"

Quintessa replied, "Approximately 26.9527%. This portion of the Fantasy Attribute has permanently transformed into the Divine Transformation Device.

As for the remaining Fantasy Attribute, most of it is used to sustain the Origin Universe, and we cannot move it carelessly.

The consequence of moving it carelessly might be the destabilization of the Origin Universe, the destruction of galaxies, and the annihilation of civilizations.

However, the Origin Universe does have one other use, which is self-destruction...

A fully formed cosmic explosion would be incapable of killing a Sovereign, but with the enhancement of a Fantasy Weapon, it could annihilate a Demigod."

Tang Chuan was somewhat exasperated.

He had known in advance that the portion that became the Cosmic Sandbox couldn't be easily manipulated.

But later, he thought that since the Divine Transformation Device wasn't bearing anything, it could be transformed into offensive or defensive items when needed, to protect his life.

Now, Quintessa was telling him that the attribute contained within the Divine Transformation Device was damaged and could no longer change its form.

This made Tang Chuan feel rather disheartened.

Originally, he thought that even if most of the Fantasy Attribute couldn't be used, the remainder would be enough for Quintessa to resolve all his problems in areas below mid-level civilizations.

However, the reality was harsh. He hadn't expected that the seemingly meager scraps of divine power within the Sovereign Spark could have such a corrosive effect, one that even a Fantasy Weapon couldn't withstand.

Tang Chuan asked helplessly, "Then how much usable Fantasy Attribute do we have left?"

Quintessa thought for a moment and replied, "It's already close to the threshold. Although it hasn't reached the theoretical 100% load, if it truly approaches 100%, the Origin Universe will become unstable. If the instability is too great and destroys large swathes of galaxies and life within it, your plans will have been in vain, Master."

Tang Chuan sighed, "Is it really that difficult? I finally managed to trick a cheat, only for it to be cut in half right after."

Seeing Tang Chuan sighing dejectedly, Quintessa chuckled helplessly, "Alright, Master. In reality, our current situation isn't that dire. Please don't worry too much.

The Fantasy Attribute we can currently use is indeed extremely meager. Any significant use will cause tremors at the edges of the Origin Universe.

But since there are no creatures in the peripheral areas, I will focus all our usable Fantasy Attribute on 'detection.'

I will instantly inform you of any potential threats in our vicinity just before they occur.

Then, the Divine Transformation Device, as a filter for divine power, although its filtering direction has been unilaterally fixed towards the interior of the Origin Universe, I can still, at the cost of shaking the peripheral areas of the Origin Universe, adjust a small portion of the filter's direction, allowing your divine power to be channeled outward.

In other words, before danger arises, I can give you ample time to become alert, and you will also be able to control a portion of your divine power, giving you the ability to protect yourself."

Tang Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's more like it. Otherwise, if one day I'm walking down the street and get shot by a stray bullet from an unknown source, this Sovereign would be too pathetic."

Quintessa shook her head, "Such a thing is destined not to happen. Besides, a physical body is just that; the Fantasy Attribute can create one in an instant, while your spirit is already practically immortal."

Tang Chuan: "Are you sure I can't die?"

Quintessa: "I'm sure you can't die."

Tang Chuan: "Then I'll trust you this once."
