Chapter 271
I'm so awesome! I'm dead!
That was everyone's first reaction.
Dude, how come you're still alive?
At the same time, they were also very Miraculous Forger wanted to discuss with the Preservation Aeon.
Surely it couldn't be just for some Divine Body Amber, could it?
They obtained the report submitted by Topaz and thus learned of this.
Information regarding the Genius Society is the most important intelligence besides that of the Aeon, on par with the Emanator. It needs to be immediately relayed to higher-ups, who will then assess its veracity and importance, and decide whether to change their attitude towards the intelligence's owner.
"Oh, look! The great Amber King has actually made a move against the Miraculous Forger. Perhaps we should change our attitude towards Miraculous Forgers..."
"You're right, so go ahead."
"..." The other party fell silent.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Miraculous Forger. You don't need to be interested in the aura I just emitted. I'm here simply to ask you if you'd be interested in some Miraculous Items," Chen Li asked Kliper.
Similar strength is the basis for equal dialogue, and the power of the Devouring Star God that Chen Li just projected, which no one except the Amber King could detect, naturally made the Amber King focus all its attention on Chen Li.
"That's right, that's right, what you felt wasn't an illusion. The Path of Voracity has indeed fallen into silence. With such a perfect opportunity, what are you still hesitating for? Find the Devouring Star God and take him down!" Chen Li urged.
"Because you can't find him, you're not planning to look for him? I see, I understand your concerns. It's okay, I'm coming!"
"I have all sorts of Miraculous Items here. Like that shield that blocked your attack earlier, which can block any attack based on the number of times it's used; or the microphone I'm using now, forged for cosmic pop stars, which gets stronger the more famous it is; or Poké Ball that can capture any creature... or gloves that can slap anyone who knows your name or has any connection to you. How about it, interested in renting one of these Miraculous Items?"
"How can you prove it? Let me show you. I have a Miraculous Item here that can throw anyone over my Overhead Toss, no matter how strong they are."
The people from Interastral Peace Corporation had no way of knowing what the Preservation Aeon had said; they could only hear Chen Li speaking into the microphone.
The executives at Interastral Peace Corporation thought it was a joke.
Can you Overhead Toss Amber King?
If you can Overhead Toss the Amber King over your shoulder, I'll eat this entire conference table right here and now!
When Chen Li arrived at the side of the Preservation Aeon, compared to the Preservation Aeon's enormous and boundless size, which could treat planets as playthings, Chen Li's size seemed so pale and powerless.
Then...
A commotion like an earthquake in the Milky Way occurred, and the Amber King was indeed Overhead Toss.
The shockwave swept over everything around the Amber King, but a giant hand, seemingly made of gold coins, wiped away any potential danger.
"Did Chen Li forge this Miraculous Item? It can give anyone an Overhead Toss, that sounds really interesting." The group members asked each other curiously.
"Isn't that the ability that Pardo gained through fusion surgery? It's not Miraculous Item at all, is it?"
"Aha, you guessed right. Chen Li didn't use any Miraculous Item that could give anyone Overhead Toss. He's just incredibly strong." Aha was so happy he couldn't straighten up.
The child may be simple-minded, but he's incredibly strong.
Aha laughed even harder when he saw that the high-ranking executives of the Interastral Peace Corporation seemed to truly believe that this was the effect of Miraculous Item, and were all amazed by it.
"???"
Isn't this even more terrifying than Chen Li using Miraculous Item?
"Let me tell you a secret. Don't be fooled by Chen Li's seemingly fine appearance; he's actually been dead for a while now. Otherwise, why hasn't he made any other moves for so long?" Aha sighed, his face full of sorrow.
"What? Really?"
"Of course it's fake! He's just too tired to stand up. Really? Someone actually believes the Aeon of Joy? Haha..."
"Get Aha out of here."
"Yes, kick them out."
"Aha, I'm not chatting with you guys anymore, I'm going to be the 'comma' in Chen Li and the Star God's conversation." Aha ran off, holding his windmill and chanting "Aha Aha," looking very cheerful.
"???"
Chen Li successfully persuaded the Preservation Aeon with his abilities, and now it's time for the bargaining stage.
Chen Li only had three requirements for this.
"My first request is for some Divine Body Amber." Chen Li extended his hand to the Amber King.
Amber King stared blankly at Chen Li.
Because the Amber King truly doesn't know what Divine Body Amber is.
"Aha aha..." At this moment, Aha ran by holding a windmill, blocking everyone's attempts to hear the voice of the Guardian Star God.
"???" Chen Li watched Aha run away, feeling completely bewildered.
Meanwhile, the Interastral Peace Corporation, which detected Aha's shadow flickering in the distance, took this matter even more seriously.
"What? You don't even know what Divine Body Amber is? Fine, I won't take advantage of you. Just give me something you don't need." Chen Li said reluctantly.
"Aha aha..." As laughter rang out again, the Star God of Preservation actually casually took a piece of amber from his own body and gave it to Chen Li.
Chen Li looked at the Amber in front of him, which was bigger than a stadium, with a troubled expression.
Holy crap, if I were to carve an Amber King from such a massive Divine Body Amber, how long would it take to eat it all?
Forget it, I'll just scrape together some scraps to fool Interastral Peace Corporation later.
"My second request is that you turn around and face away from me. Amber King, don't turn around, I am Aha. Relax, I won't really capture you, and even if I do, I will release you."
"Aha aha... ha?"
Even Aha found Chen Li's words baffling.
Then, Aha Ha saw Chen Li take out a red and white sphere and throw it at the Preservation Aeon who had his back to Chen Li.
"Smack!"
No matter how low the probability, as long as the opponent's back is facing away, the Poké Ball will definitely catch it.
When the great Amber King was captured and put into the Poké Ball in Chen Li's hand, the sky fell on the Interastral Peace Corporation.
Dude, what did you do to the Amber King?
Aha instantly became interested in the Poké Ball.
Holy crap, this is awesome!
Can I borrow it to play with?
Is this the Poké Ball that Chen Li mentioned that can catch any kind of creature?
"Smack!"
Unfortunately, because the probability was too low, the Poké Ball didn't even shake before it spat out the Preservation Aeon.
The executives of Interastral Peace Corporation finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems this Miraculous Item can even capture Aeon. Alright, experiment complete. Come on, catch your Miraculous Item." Chen Li tossed the Slap Gloves to Amber King while pondering whether Pardo could possibly subdue the Preservation Aeon.
After Chen Li designated its recipient Slap Gloves automatically flew to the Amber King's hand, and after becoming large enough to cover the sky, it successfully slipped onto the palm of the Preservation Aeon.
"And the third request is... Let's be friends. You're using a public Miraculous Item, so you have to return it when you're done." The projected Friends Circle started operating and began to expand infinitely.
After two and a half minutes, a Friends Circle Terminal that matched the size of the Preservation Aeon was finally printed out by "Friends Circle".
When the Preservation Aeon's Slap Gloves hand touched the virtual panel, the virtual panel began to disappear and could only be seen from the Preservation Aeon's perspective from then on.
After all, even the Preservation Aeon needs privacy.
And so, Chen Li's Bond was strengthened once again.
Although Chen Li was not familiar with the Preservation Aeon, the Preservation Aeon was of high quality, so the basic defensive power it provided was also considerable.
"Alright, Amber King, quickly use the Slap Gloves on Ouroboros!" Chen Li stood atop the Preservation Aeon's head!
"I want to see rivers of blood!"
When the Preservation Aeon, following the instructions for using the Slap Gloves, stretched out his hand towards the empty space ahead, he directly pulled open a huge black hole. On the other side of the black hole, the old rival whom Amber King Remembrance vividly was staring at the black hole in astonishment.
"Hey, Ouroboros, missed me?"
To Ouroboros, to the Aeon who feeds and sleeps on a century-long scale, Chen Li's appearance was like a blond-haired guy who had just taken your wife away one second and then teleported to your house the next, telling you how useful your wife was.
Although his old rival was right in front of him, and although his strength was far from what it used to be and he was sure he couldn't beat Kliper, Ouroboros still charged forward.
Unfortunately, Ouroboros crashed into the entrance of the one-way passage and couldn't get through.
"Slap!" Amber King had never seen the Devouring Star God so proactive, and then swung his hand and slapped him across the face.
Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, Kliper expanded the black hole again, attempting to cross it and beat up the fallen Ouroboros.
"Kliper, don't get agitated. The passage created by this glove is a one-way passage. If you go through it, you won't be able to come back. Moreover, this Slap Gloves can be used frequently." Chen Li sat cross-legged on the head of the Preservation Aeon.
"Aha aha..." Just as the people from the Interstellar Peace Company wanted to know the attitude of the Star God of Preservation, an annoying laugh drowned out the voice of the Star God of Preservation.
Ah, holding a windmill, Ah, Ah, running back and forth in front of people's retinas.
Everyone knows that the Aeon of Joy did it on purpose, but so what?
If you're so capable, go over there and slap him!
"You ask if there's a way to solve this once and for all? Yes, my friend, there is! Why don't you just subdue Ouroboros? Good brother, give me a round stone." Chen Li shouted to the Amber King.
Amber King casually picked up an uninhabited planet filled with building materials by the Interastral Peace Corporation and handed it to Chen Li, who was sitting on his head.
The people from Interastral Peace Corporation looked excited.
This is the first time Amber King has accepted minerals delivered by the Interastral Peace Corporation.
Although the process and purpose were somewhat unexpected, just tell me whether the Preservation Aeon accepted it or not!
Then, in full view of everyone, when Chen Li's hand landed on that planet, the entire planet was transformed into a giant Poké Ball.
Any spherical object can be used to forge Poké Ball.
When the quality of the Poké Balls is similar, the closer the color of the Poké Ball is to red and white, the better the quality of the Poké Ball and the higher the success rate of catching it.
"Now you can try to capture Ouroboros," Chen Li reminded him.
"..." Amber King held a huge red and white ball in his left hand and wore Slap Gloves on his right hand. He understood Chen Li's meaning in just half a second.
After the slap Ouroboros, Obolos quickly escaped the black hole he had created with his glove, but the Preservation Aeon waved his right hand and opened a new black hole, slapping Ouroboros, who was right in front of him, with a slap.
Before Ouroboros could recover, the Amber King's left hand had already fallen, and the huge red and white ball smashed into Ouroboros's face.
"What I mean by capturing isn't... never mind, as long as we can make contact."
From Chen Li's perspective, Amber King was practically using the red and white balls as bowling balls.
However, the Poké Ball did indeed hit Ouroboros, triggering the capture effect. But because the success rate was too low, and it wasn't thrown from behind, the Poké Ball was bounced away, along with Amber King's left hand.
"Hmm..." Chen Li felt that Amber King seemed to have discovered a new way to use the Poké Ball.
Because Poké Balls are Miraculous Items and rarely break, they can actually be used as bowling balls.
If you just knock the Pokémon you want to capture unconscious, you can capture it at will, right?
"Hahaha, I told you, Preservation is an idiot." The voice of the Aeon of Joy rang in Chen Li's ears.
The Aeon of Joy hasn't seen this level of entertainment in a long time.
Especially when Amber King uses Poké Ball as a bowling ball, the extreme contrast is hilarious.
Ouroboros fled again, and the Amber King had already mastered the technique.
With his right hand, he opened a one-way passage and slapped Ouroboros across the face, while with his left hand, he used a bowling ball to smash the opponent directly into his body.
Although the Poké Balls kept bouncing away because Ouroboros was still in perfect condition, Amber King seemed to enjoy it immensely.
As Amber King continued to use the Poké Ball, he found it much more convenient than the hammer.
"I'm wondering if we should set up an anti-addiction system for the Amber King. After all, the Amber King still needs to build walls, and we can't let it be constantly addicted to capturing Ouroboros," Chen Li said, stroking his chin.
"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Putting aside the matter of setting up an anti-addiction system for the Aeon... guess what Amber King is building the wall for?" Aha felt his pleasure level was steadily rising.
"The key is that other group members also need to use gloves. So let's do this: two hours of Slap Gloves usage time will be available for Amber King every day."
"Oh, my dear Emanator, why don't you set the anti-addiction time to 0 hours, and then let Interastral Peace Corporation use in-game purchases to draw daily Slap Gloves [Usage Time] cards for Amber King? Like, 1.6 billion Credits for one draw, 16 billion Credits for a 10-draw, every 90 draws will guarantee one hour of usage time, but there's a chance it will be a [Poké Ball] one-hour usage time, this is called a mini-pity. If you get the mini-pity, the second 90 draws will definitely get the Slap Gloves one-hour usage time."
"Believe me, once you unlock this gacha feature, you'll become the richest person in the universe in less than a month!"
"After all, the motto and vision of the Interastral Peace Corporation is—Everything is dedicated to the Amber King!"
"..." Chen Li looked at the Aeon of Joy with the eyes of someone looking at a devil.
