Super God: Myriad Worlds Drifting Bottle

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

Under Han Fei's expectant gaze.

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

The light flared.

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

The light vanished.

What came into view was a small person.

A man wearing martial arts attire, with red hair and well-built muscles, leaped to the side and hid in a corner.

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

"Who am I?"

In Han Fei's eyes.

This small person, with normal skin and demeanor, aside from being much smaller, was no different from a normal person.

"Incredible."

He pinched it with two fingers.

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

He struggled desperately, executing a series of quick and fluid martial arts moves. It was clear he had real skill, but unfortunately, 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 definitions, anything that can think is alive."

"But from a biological perspective, without any activity, it can only be called an inanimate object."

"Or perhaps, a deeper philosophical concept: there are three types of death for humans, and three types of life..."

"Alright, alright, you're discussing life with me, an AI." Han Fei waved his hand to stop Black Star's incessant chatter.

"Never mind, conduct a scan."

Han Fei tossed it into the instrument.

"Yes."

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

But it was fleeting.

He watched coldly.

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

It looked completely devoid of will to live, lying on the floor as if it had been thoroughly played with, appearing somewhat comical.

"Doesn't matter anymore?_?..."

"Master, no matter how it's examined, this is a life form."

"Is that so?" Han Fei nodded in understanding.

"I wonder how long it can exist. After it disappears, will it retain its memories when it reappears? Will it still be the same person? Also, I don't have the Qi Demon Talisman; do I have to kill it to retrieve the talisman?"

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

Han Fei had countless 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.

He waited for a full day.

When Black Star's instrument opened again.

Black Tiger Afu's voice was gone. Only a broken clay figurine and the talisman remained.

"Master, according to the experiment, the talisman can only be retrieved by killing the host or if the host willingly surrenders it. Also, after disappearing, it will inherit the memories from the previous instance upon reappearance, but it's uncertain if it can still be considered the same individual."

"If left undisturbed, the host 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 a picture of the Rat Talisman's power.

"Then, next."

Han Fei, holding the talisman, approached a pile of figurines.

A day passed.

He collected some more figurines; these figurines were all from various fantasy works.

Ultraman Tiga, Yikaluosi, Belldandy, GG Bond, Gray Wolf...

These figurines, without exception, all shared one characteristic.

They were very small.

About half the size of a palm.

And these figurines were all kept in cages.

This was all to restrain them.

"Alright, let's begin. First up, Tiga."

Tiga!!

A flash of light.

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

?!!

He looked around blankly.

Then he looked at himself.

Finally, he looked at the iron bars of the cage.

A Zeperion Beam was fired.

It instantly broke several iron bars.

He flew out into the air.

However, the next moment.

A giant steel palm swatted him back.

A massive robot stood outside the cage.

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

"The Rat Talisman can't revive him indefinitely. If I revive a giant, complete version of Tiga, will he really possess the original power?

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

"Black Star, try to communicate with it and see if you can control it."

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 everywhere.

Don't underestimate him because he's small; his combat power is truly terrifying. The entire large iron cage was a mess, and the surrounding New Titanium Alloy floor was pockmarked with craters.

This was brand new alloy!

However, relatively speaking.

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

Then.

Before Han Fei's astonished eyes, Tiga disintegrated!!

"What the hell?"

"What is this?!"

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

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

Afterward, Han Fei prepared to experiment with a new figurine.

However, at this moment.

Black Star sent a message.

"Master, Laboratory No. 2 claims they have made a major research breakthrough, which may solve the problem of armor energy carrying in Laboratory No. 1."

Han Fei's brow furrowed deeply.

It's like when you're engrossed in playing a game, and something more important happens, like your mom calling you for dinner. You'd be torn.

"Master, there's no need to rush. Also, Zhao Xin has sent a dinner invitation. The military has sent a new list of candidates for Body Tempering (Eight Extremes Heaven Basic Style—Body Tempering) instruction. 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 Laboratory No. 2 wasn't exaggerating."

Han Fei, slightly annoyed, put away all the talismans and walked out of the hidden room.

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

These were Laboratory No. 1, which handled both espionage and genetics, as well as armor, thus occupying two divisions; Laboratory No. 2, where he was heading now, researched mechanical items. Many of the things he took out of bottles were brought here.

For example, that crippled mecha, half a VR helmet, and a small spaceship model, among other things.

And then there was Laboratory No. 3.

That laboratory was originally responsible for materials research, such as New Titanium Alloy. Later, due to the incident with Liu Chuang, it was traded to Dukao, but the most valuable parts had already been moved out in advance.

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, and no one knew about it.

Inside were Secret Techniques related to 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.

There were also some items stored inside that possessed great danger.
