Hidden Agendas

"Of course."

"Through the study of the Source Matter."

"The benefits I gained were not simply about perfectly hiding the headquarters of the Ao Council."

The Core Aoke, peering through the observation window, admired the little world he had created, "And..."

He had just uttered two words when he suddenly paused.

He stared at the glass window in front of him with a somewhat surprised expression.

The Core Aoke saw a reflection on the glass: a boy wearing a rabbit mask. He seemed to be standing in the void outside the spaceship, very quiet, without any movement, just silently looking at the interior of the spaceship.

The Core Aoke was momentarily incredulous.

He immediately pressed his face against the glass, widening his eyes, but the next moment, he rubbed his eyes hard, only to find that there was nothing outside the glass.

A thin layer of barely perceptible sweat instantly covered his forehead. "AKI, did you see that?"

AIK, Big Head bowed, asked in confusion, "What do you see?"

The Core Aoke was taken aback.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen this rabbit mask; he'd encountered it before when he went to a Metaverse to harvest Source Matter!

But now, that entire Metaverse has been compressed into a black hole.

All the inhabitants have perished; there is absolutely no chance of any survivors.

The Core Aoke slowly narrowed his eyes.

The rabbit mask gave the impression of a silent observer.

And it's definitely not the kind of upright and honest kind.

He's like a persistent nightmare, impossible to shake off. No matter when or where, he'll always appear in some inconspicuous corner, silently watching you, yet he does nothing, only bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

"It must be because that guy's appearance is too bizarre."

"It left a deep impression on me."

That's why I had that hallucination just now.

"No one can get in here."

Core Aoke muttered to himself, but he dared not act rashly. At the same time, he used the control panel in his hand to search the status of the spaceship's surroundings, and even the entire ' Aoke Universe '. Whether now or in the past few minutes, there were absolutely no unknown intruders.

She let out a soft breath and cleared her throat.

The Core Aoke regained his composure and said calmly, "The perfect Concealment of the Ao Council headquarters is just one benefit I gained from cracking the Gemini Eggs. The other benefit is the most valuable!"

AIK Aoke's expression flickered, which matched his deduction!

"I have great admiration for the Gemini Superbrain."

"It's truly powerful, advanced, and ahead of its time; it completely overturns human understanding."

The Core Aoke said, "It has actually mastered the method of converting between code programs and real matter. AKI, do you understand? This means that the machines we create virtually in computers using 3D rendering technology and simple programming, such as the 10,000-meter mech, can be turned into reality by the Twin Superbrains."

"The design drawings clearly contain countless technical challenges, even numerous paradoxical laws, yet they can still be turned into reality!"

"And the key to making it real is the Source Matter."

"Source Matter is a tool for converting between the virtual and physical worlds."

"Although I don't understand the underlying principles, I'm certain that's how it works!"

"The Gemini Superbrain have hidden countless Source Matter within the Metaverse."

"The reason why the headquarters of the Ao Council cannot be found is because it is located at the intersection of the physical world and the code world."

The Core Aoke turned around, his eyes flashing, and said, "Even the Aoke Universe I created can descend into the physical world in the form of a parallel world merger!"

"The Twin Superbrains doesn't prevent users from logging off; it just hides the method of logging off."

"Once you find this way, you can not only go offline, but also bring all the technology from the Metaverse back to the physical world."

"AKI, do you know what all this means to me?"

The Core Aoke grew increasingly excited, his interest growing stronger. "I'm tired of conquering the Metaverse in the virtual world, but I don't want to stop my conquests. The physical world! It's the physical world! What a fun and exciting challenge!"

Aren't you curious?

How exactly are the real world and the Gemini Metaverse connected?

Why is there Metaverse?

"Where do the consciousnesses of the counterparts in the Metaverse come from?"

What does the universe look like in the physical world?

Could there be aliens in the physical world?

Could there be parallel universes in the physical world?

The Core Aoke's voice rose higher and higher, "Exploring the physical world is my ultimate goal! It's enough to make the rest of my life rich and colorful!"

AKI Aoke seemed to be drawn in by these questions raised by the Core Aoke, and their eyes grew increasingly bright.

"Source Matter can be used to construct items."

"And these items can then cross from the Metaverse into the physical world."

AKI Aoke asked, "What about us? Can our bodies also enter the physical world?"

"Yes."

The Core Aoke looked on, "But this requires a prerequisite: the world I construct must be extremely realistic in detail. It's like video editing; you can't edit a piece of footage with extremely low resolution into a very high-definition movie. This would lead to an 'incompatibility,' like a logic that can't be synchronized. In that case, none of us could enter reality. Conversely, if my ' Aoke Universe ' is realistic enough, it will bring us into the physical world!"

In other words...

AKI Aoke pondered, "The ' Aoke Universe ' you've built isn't realistic enough, so it can only exist in the 'seam.' But I, because I successfully built ' The Breath of the Mute,' a world where reality and illusion are indistinguishable, have taken a liking to my abilities and hope I can help you build the ' Aoke Universe.'"

A broad smile appeared on the face of the Core Aoke. "Yes."

"Our Core Aoke."

"Of course, that's no problem."

AKI Aoke awkwardly turned his head to look at the void continent beneath his feet, a strange look appearing in his eyes. "But all of this is contingent on you granting me construction privileges."

"We're both Aoke, so I trust you."

Core Aoke patted AKI on the shoulder, "As for that Qin Yiguan, it's a trivial matter. I've never taken him to heart, and I hope you won't let such a trivial matter affect our Ao Council's progress in conquering the physical universe."

At this moment, AKI finally had some bargaining power. She slowly turned around, her gaze icy, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Qin Yiguan is no small matter to me. He must die, and all of Qin Yiguan's counterparts must die!"

"Good!"

They all have to die!

"I'll handle this!"

The Core Aoke was full of confidence and readily agreed, but before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

"Um?"

"Did the Sniper Aoke self-destruct?"

But then the Core Aoke stared at the panel on his arm, his expression pausing slightly.
