Chapter 108
The Emperor, skilled at manipulating souls, noticed the unusual nature of the Ku Tang at first glance.
As the Emperor said, the souls of the employees at Lobotomy Corporation are incomplete.
Even Emperor found this situation extremely troublesome.
"We are now working towards a complete resurrection," Xiao Huasheng replied.
Previously, I obtained a fruit-shaped object in that Flesh Space, which had the function of repairing the soul.
Angela is currently researching this.
She worked hard to implement her 'Phoenix Project'.
As a result, a significant portion of the company's energy was diverted.
Even though Xiao Huasheng hasn't been exercising much, his energy levels have dropped to around 80% now.
Angela used all of these to develop, and Xiao Huasheng ate some of them herself.
What an incredibly inconsiderate Angel!
Xiao Huasheng interacted with the Emperor in fits and starts.
The Yellow Skin seems to have been silent for thousands of years, with no one to talk to and no action other than manifesting its divine power.
Now that he's met someone he can chat with, he immediately started talking non-stop.
Naturally, during this period, the Emperor still couldn't help but try to uncover some of Xiao Huasheng's secrets.
Xiao Huasheng, guided by Angela, was having a 'safe chat' with the Emperor.
They resolutely refused to reveal core secrets, only offering snippets of their intelligence, mostly just scratching the surface.
While everyone in the hall was chatting happily,
The Queen of Hatred and Reni entered from the hall.
After seeing Xiao Huasheng.
The Queen of Hatred immediately spoke up with delight.
"Xiao Xiao! I've vanquished evil again! How about that!"
"Still as amazing as ever." Xiao Huasheng praised without hesitation; the Queen of Hatred had indeed been a great help.
If she herself used Reality Warping to fight an entire Battle Moon, even if she drained all the energy, she might not be able to completely wipe it out.
The Queen of Hatred is definitely her trump card in her normal state.
The Silent Orchestra seems a bit too extreme, so Xiao Huasheng doesn't dare to release them.
"Hmph..." Ku Tang looked over here, her cheeks unconsciously pouting.
"I love you!" the Queen of Hatred exclaimed happily.
Before Xiao Huasheng could respond, the Queen of Hatred had already opened her arms and hugged her tightly, pressing her entire face into the other's chest, which smelled of burnt flesh.
The force was so great that Xiao Huasheng's clothes creaked, almost tearing them to shreds.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Xiao Huasheng shouted.
But at that moment, Ku Tang suddenly appeared and also grabbed Xiao Huasheng, wanting a hug.
She was treated like a cute doll, being bossed around.
He doesn't act like a manager at all.
The red-haired Angel is still incredibly popular.
But he's still the pitiful bottom.
"Phew, that felt good."
Jin Li finally lit his cigarette. He watched the three girls entangled together, and a genuine smile appeared on his face in the swirling smoke—his first genuine smile of the day.
Seeing that even Ku Tang had such a good friend, he felt relieved.
Reni watched this scene with wide-eyed amazement.
She also asked the Queen of Hatred if magical girl outfits would magically appear out of thin air after becoming a magical girl.
She stared longingly at the magical girl outfit on Ku Tang's body.
In such a joyful and harmonious moment.
Strike while the iron is hot.
The Emperor sent a signal to Xiao Huasheng.
[Everyone's here now, I think we can try to fix the Webway.]
Upon reading this sentence, Xiao Huasheng sensed that the Yellow Skin wanted to use people like cattle and horses.
Is it just Webway maintenance?
Chapter 81: Cultivating Your Path [1st Update]
"Repairing the Webway, uh..."
Xiao Huasheng instantly realized that this was an extremely tedious job.
She instinctively wanted to reject the Emperor's proposal, just as Angela had said, who knew what price would be paid to repair the Old Ones Webway?
Even if the Emperor could complete her task, getting close to the Webway meant getting close to the Chaos Gods.
S-Sis was definitely in that kind of hellish place, and without enough fighting power, Xiao Huasheng really didn't want to get involved in this mess.
This is purely a thankless and arduous task.
Seemingly anticipating Xiao Huasheng's refusal, the Emperor immediately offered her a condition that was hard to refuse.
[If you can help me with this, I'm willing to do anything.]
The Emperor was making empty promises to Xiao Huasheng.
"Willing to do anything?" Xiao Huasheng raised an eyebrow.
That's exactly right.
Clearly, for the sake of the Human Imperium, it wouldn't be impossible for even the Emperor to sign that contract now and become an employee of Lobotomy Corporation.
But not yet, not until we see that Xiao Huasheng has the ability.
At Angela's suggestion, Xiao Huasheng still presented the Emperor with some unimportant information.
For example, his own Reality-Warping Ability allows him to create anything, even things that violate the rules of the universe.
Generally speaking, if an object violates the rules of the universe, it will be erased by those rules.
However, the items created by the Reality-Warping Ability completely break this rule.
It's not that objects conform to the rules of the real universe, but rather that the real universe conforms to the Reality Warping.
Especially in the Warhammer World, a world where the Hume Index is much lower than in the Foundation World.
The Reality-Warping Ability can be greatly utilized.
Angela also had some speculations.
Perhaps those worlds of swords and magic abound because the Hume Index is so low, which is why so many rules are subject to human will.
Psychic Power may also originate from this.
However, this is just Angela's unfounded guess and shouldn't be considered a reliable source.
But Xiao Huasheng still felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
It was precisely because the Emperor saw Xiao Huasheng's ability and realized its potential that he made such a condition.
The Yellow Skin was preparing to sell hooks.
Xiao Huasheng fell silent, pinching her chin as she pondered whether or not to agree to the Emperor's request.
After a while...
Angela, however, reminded Xiao Huasheng of something.
[Let's continue from where he left off: he's an invaluable ally.]
Upon hearing Angela's words, Xiao Huasheng no longer hesitated and nodded to the Emperor who was sitting on the throne.
"Okay, it's not impossible, but I have a few conditions you have to agree to."
The Emperor asked a question.
What are the conditions?
"First, all the energy I need to repair the Webway will be provided by you, which means supplying me with high-energy food." Xiao Huasheng didn't think much of eating Astartes' energy bars before, but after returning to the Foundation World, she realized just how easy it was to obtain such energy; all she had to do was eat.
In the Foundation World, how much cake would you have to eat to achieve that effect?
No problem.
The Emperor readily agreed to this condition.
"Secondly, you need to protect me... In the end, I'm actually not that powerful."
Xiao Huasheng was very self-aware. After she was beaten up for squandering her energy, she never dared to be naughty again.
No problem.
The Emperor responded with a very quick agreement.
In the Emperor's view, this was simply his duty, and he would have done his best to do so even if Xiao Huasheng hadn't said anything.
"Third, you can't bring me into this world without my permission." Xiao Huasheng still harbors resentment about this point.
She finally had a break, working as a maid.
I was inexplicably captured by Yellow Skin and brought to this world.
Even a clay figure would be quite angry about this.
[...]
This time, the Emperor was less quick to agree.
This caused Xiao Huasheng's pupils to dilate in shock. Did this guy originally intend to keep her captive indefinitely?
Fortunately, the Emperor didn't let Xiao Huasheng remain suspicious for too long, and eventually gave Emperor answer.
No problem.
"Then it's settled, you can't go back on your word." Xiao Huasheng muttered, and then, under Angela's guidance, she threw out a few tricky conditions to the Emperor.
Even the Emperor, like an old man at a market, couldn't stop haggling.
During the negotiations between Emperor and Xiao Huasheng.
Everyone also saw Xiao Huasheng talking to the half-skull on the Golden Throne as if he were talking to himself.
Jin Li and the others felt a wave of doubt.
What is she doing?
"It seems that she often talks to herself while at the Foundation."
"However, since it's a physical entity, it's normal for it to have some anomalies."
Seeing this, the Queen of Hatred confidently asserted, "Xiao Xiao must be talking to a voice inside her head; only in this way can she maintain her sense of justice."
There were far too many voices in the Queen of Hatred's head.
The Queen of Hatred is probably the most qualified to speak on this feeling.
Ku Tang remained silent and did not speak.
Keeping Xiao Huasheng's secret was also one of her employee regulations; even when facing her own father, she had no intention of revealing the truth.
The Adeptus Custodes interrupted their suspicions and spoke directly.
"It's not a mental illness, nor is it some random, inexplicable sound."
"What she is doing is having a dialogue with our beloved Emperor."
"Perhaps only she could do that."
The Adeptus Custodes also protected the image of Xiao Huasheng and the Emperor, to prevent the guests from making unfounded suspicions.
