After getting "lost," I run into Acheron, an Emanator of Nihility / Taking the Blood Sinners of the Galaxy Rangers to defeat Phantylia, the Destruction Lord? Brilliant idea!

"It must be a hallucination I had last night because I was counting stars while I was sleeping!" Asta patted her face, which still showed an incredulous expression.

Oh, that's so strange!

It must have been the Masked Fool who did it!

That damned Masked Fool!

After Chapter 172, "Lost," they encountered the Envoy of Nothingness, Acheron.

"It's Sparkle! The Lady. Sparkle has stated that she will take responsibility for the series of events." Chen Li's expression was serious, his gaze solemn, but he was saying things that were incomprehensible to others.

Wake up! Sparkle hasn't conceded defeat in her 1v1 battle against the Aeon of Joy in the Octagon yet, so you can't put all the blame on Sparkle.

Oh, is that so?

"Sparkle? Who is that? Come to think of it, this is the first time I've seen your true face Mister Miraculous Forger." Asta tilted her head.

"Just take a look yourself, don't spread my image around," Chen Li said.

"OK."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. In short, Asta, forget everything you just saw," said the elegant and Ms. Herta sitting on the sofa, sipping her tea.

"Yes, Ms. Herta. May I ask what brings you to the Herta Space Station in person?" Asta asked somewhat nervously.

Even though Asta was incredibly wealthy, she still seemed so ordinary compared to the achievements of the Ms. Herta.

"Don't be nervous, Asta, you did a great job. I just came here to..."

"Let's establish a crown prince," Little Herta (The Unique Herta) suddenly said.

"The Crown Prince?" Asta was taken aback.

"That's right, remember me. I am now the Crown Prince of the Herta Space Station. I am a Black Tower Doll with a machine soul, and besides the Great Ms. Herta, I am a rational Herta dolls recognized by the Ms. Herta," Little Herta explained.

"Well?"

"Of course, I am still the Herta dolls, just a little special, so you Asta, will still be in charge of managing the Herta Space Station and such. I just wanted you to know the subtle differences between me and Ms. Herta," the Little Herta continued.

"Ms. Herta..." A somewhat bewildered Asta turned to Ms. Herta for help.

Could this be a prank by that damned Masked Fool?

"Listen to her, that's a rather interesting way to address someone." The Great Herta nodded elegantly and calmly.

The Little Herta is equipped with the Personality Mapping Module installed by the Great Herta. The reason why the Little Herta is so different from ordinary Herta dolls is mainly due to the slight influence of the machine soul.

The machine spirit will not necessarily cause the puppets to rebel; it will only give them the ability to make judgments.

While this may not necessarily be a bad thing, the Great Herta doesn't care.

As long as the Personality Mapping Module is still functioning normally, the Great Herta is looking forward to seeing what the Little Herta can do next.

"Yes, Ms. Herta, I'll go and announce it right away." Asta nodded.

"No need to announce it, you can keep it to yourself." But Little Herta shook his head.

"Okay... Ms. Herta." Asta scratched her head and came up with this title.

"Asta, go back to your work."

"Well, goodbye Ms. Herta, goodbye Mister Miraculous Forger, goodbye the Lady. Ruan Mei, goodbye Ms. Herta." Asta bowed slightly and then left the room.

"Tell me, little one, why do you want this title of Crown Prince?" After Asta left, the Great Herta asked the Little Herta with great interest.

"How can there be a prince who only lasts 50 seconds! Chen Li, join me in rebelling against the Great Herta!" Little Herta suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

"You're already thinking about usurping the throne after just 50 seconds?" Chen Li snapped at the Little Herta with a flick on the forehead.

"Just kidding. Everyone knows about the Great Herta's stunning beauty and exceptional intelligence, but my uniqueness shouldn't go unnoticed either," the Little Herta explained.

"That makes sense."

"Since everyone is here, I'll go into the trash can one more time. After my time in the trash can is up, Chen Li, you can send me back," the Great Herta said.

"No problem, but I have to remind you. Even if this trash can doesn't have the power to imprison you, you might not be able to get out if you sit directly on it, but you can get out normally if you squat down inside."

"Magic can solve everything." The Great Herta dismissed Chen Li's reminder with disdain.

"Chen Li, Ruan Mei, help me up."

"... Great Herta, are you kidding me?"

"How do I know this trash can will automatically block all attacks? And even prevent me from using magic?"

"Because they're afraid someone might attack the trash can because they can't escape its confinement. That's why this trash can is magic-free," Chen Li said helplessly.

"It's all Chen Li's fault, your props always have some weird attributes. Speaking of which... why do I feel like I've been so unlucky after using the Elation Dice? Could it be that your Joy Dice has some side effect where people other than you would do something irrational after using it?" Great Herta asked uncertainly.

"Oh, it might not be a problem with the Joy Dice, it might be a problem with me."

"Your question? What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, you should go back now, Ms. Herta."

"Although your attempt to change the subject was terrible, I really should go back." The Great Herta nodded, then stood up and flicked the Little Herta on the head before disappearing with the golden trash can.

The reason why the Great Herta is so Elation is probably because it used up Joy Points of Great Herta Chen Li's Joy Dice.

Chen Li didn't mind explaining the problem to Herta, but the logic was very complicated.

Chen Li's transmigrator talent has a passive effect that makes the risks Chen Li takes offset by the gains he receives; the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish! But today, Chen Li encountered a "world-ending crisis," and the only one who benefited was the Little Herta; Chen Li's gains were still insufficient.

Because the Great Herta has used up all its Joy Points, Chen Li is now in dire need of more Joy Points to ensure that he doesn't get screwed over by the Pleasure Joy Dice after using Joy Dice. Therefore, Chen Li is eager to see some fun.

In addition, since the Little Herta originally belonged to the Great Herta, and it was the Great Herta that used up Chen Li's Joy Points, the Great Herta became the one being watched for amusement.

Although Great Herta is a genius, the transmigrator Vortex of Destiny has a passive Stupidity Halo.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Chen Li always encountered those classic brainless villain characters in the past.

This wave can be described as divine intervention being no match for destiny.

The benefits that Chen Li was entitled to did not disappear; they simply returned to Chen Li in a different form after going around in circles.

It could be a joke, it could be a farce, or it could be...

[A bizarre mechanism! Even more insidious than the Machine Soul!]

"No, the machine spirit is sinister too?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't encountered any unexpected disasters or troubles lately, so I feel a little out of sorts." Chen Li glanced at the Constraint Bracelet on his left wrist.

The Constraint Bracelet can restrict Chen Li's abilities, and when the situation is favorable to Chen Li, it can make the restrained abilities more powerful.

Chen Li wasn't a masochist; Chen Li was just wondering if the fact that he hadn't been suddenly teleported to a certain place or encountered some major crisis for so long meant that something "big" was waiting for him.

Greater risks mean greater rewards. In addition, Chen Li now has many friends with whom he has deep Bonds, as well as Revival Artifacts. Chen Li doesn't know how he could possibly lose.

How much risk can it possibly get?

Even if Chen Li were to face the Silent Lord right now, Chen Li was confident that he could break the Silent Lord's defenses five times within three minutes!

Even if he encounters Aeon, he won't panic. Although he is slightly inferior to the Aeon God Slayer terms of attack power because he doesn't have a God-slaying Miraculous Item, as long as he has Friendship and Bonds, Chen Li will not be inferior to anyone in terms of defense!

If you can't win, you can run away.

Fortune changes every three days, sometimes east, sometimes west!

"Let me save up some money and upgrade this Constraint Bracelet into One-star Artifact. Ideally, it should allow the transmigrator to passively receive benefits without any risks." Chen Li looked at his remaining 91 Crystals and thought it was a good idea.

Is it too much for Chen Li to want to get something for free? No, not at all.

It's just human nature.

"Herta has already let me know he's safe." Ruan Mei said to Chen Li and Little Herta after glancing at the message Herta sent her on her Friends Circle Terminal.

"Why didn't you let me know you were safe?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, yeah, why didn't you let me know you were safe?" Little Herta was equally puzzled.

"Maybe... it's because I'm shy?" Ruan Mei smiled.

Ruan Mei couldn't very well say directly, "If I let you two know I'm safe, you two will surely make the peace of the Great Herta less peaceful, right?"

You two better know what you're doing!

"It seems the Great Herta might not like us too much. Let's go find Haruhi Suzumiya to play with." Chen Li turned to look at the Little Herta.

"What do you want to play?" Little Herta asked Chen Li.

"Playing Haruhi Suzumiya, it's so much fun to have your wishes come true."

"..." by Little Herta.

My guardian Chen Li, possesses the qualities of Masked Fool!

Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?

"If you're not going, then I'm going."

"I didn't say I wasn't going, let's go! Ruan Mei, are you coming? The Haruhi Suzumiya is so much fun." The Little Herta didn't forget to invite Ruan Mei.

"No, I should go back and watch the commercials." Ruan Mei shook her head.

"Alright then. Chen Li, wait... wait, where did Chen Li? Ruan Mei, did you see him?" Little Herta turned his head and found that Chen Li had disappeared, and was obviously stunned for a moment.

"I saw it. Chen Li disappeared the moment he stepped through the sensor door."

"I know! He must have teleported near Haruhi Suzumiya mess with her first! That Masked Fool! Chen Li, you're so despicable these days!"

"..." Chen Li, who had been called despicable by the Little Herta, looked up blankly at the black sun in the sky, and then looked blankly at the two people next to him.

A dark rain was falling from the gloomy sky, but Chen Li's Friends Circle kept the rain out.

This means that this rainwater is also considered an "attack".

The land where Chen Li stood resembled a battlefield from ancient times, with countless withered branches seemingly reaching out to the sky, as if trying to touch the black sun hanging high in the sky.

The purple-haired girl wielding a long sword taller than a person, and the man wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat, were the only normal humanoid creatures Chen Li could see.

Why are they described as normal humanoid creatures? Because on the distant sea surface, there are countless hazy, ever-changing shadows of hands, like swirling smoke, stretching one by one from the sea towards the sky.

Chen Li didn't recognize the man wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat, but Chen Li recognized the purple-haired girl next to him.

The Galaxy Rangers, no, or rather, the Envoy of Nothingness — Acheron!

"Where did I end up? Is this still the Herta Space Station?" Chen Li scratched his head.

"This is the other side of the Nihility. Strange traveler, this is not a place you should be." Acheron, holding a red umbrella in the black rain, said to Chen Li, this stranger who had suddenly intruded.

"I get it this time! If we leave now, no one will get hurt, otherwise we'll all die! Right?" Chen Li's eyes lit up.

"???"

Chapter 173 Leading the Galaxy Rangers Blood Sin Spirits to subdue the Great Extinguisher Phantylia? Good idea!

"An Envoy of Nothingness and a Blood Sin Spirit? Leave now, and no one will be hurt. Otherwise, you will all die!" Chen Li held two "Judgment of All Things" capable of Sever Everything, his tone filled with indifference.

"What a vibrant young man! What's he doing over there?" The hoarse-voiced old man asked casually, looking at Chen Li, who was holding a strange weapon, gazing at the black sun in the sky, and muttering something to himself.

"Perhaps he's thinking about his outlandish plans again," Acheron replied, shaking his head.

"What do you mean by a whimsical plan? In your opinion, is it really so absurd to fly into the depths of that black sun and then devour it?" After canceling the Judgment of All Things, Chen Li walked towards his two temporary companions.

"It's not that it's unreasonable, it's that it's impossible," Acheron said, shaking his head.

After all, that black sun was "Nihility." It was so close, yet so far away.

The Nanook [IX] believes that the nature of the multiverse is Nihility, and therefore existence is worthless, so He has always stayed there, never moving.

But the Nanook might be the strongest of all the Aeon, because everything will eventually lead to Nihility...

Chen Li felt that the Aeon's strategy was somewhat similar to Vill-V's arrogant personality.

Because each personality is a genius, each personality will develop arrogance. Therefore, in the end, the arrogance of the Vill-V personality may even account for half of the total talent of all of Vill-V's personalities.
