Infinity

"Sister Zhichun, after realizing that I am not a real Zhiliao..."

"They'll never summon me again."

"I had a very happy time at Shennong Garden."

"But I really like this human body."

"It was preserved."

"The human brain is amazing; it's what made my abilities stronger."

"Therefore, my companions all call me the Lord of Subquarks."

Zhiliao, holding a jar of honey, sat on a huge leaf, its two heads suspended in the air, swaying slightly.

Qin Yiguan bluntly stated, "It was I who let Zhichun see the truth. You don't hold a grudge against me?"

"I don't hold grudges."

The cicada, innocent and naive, Zhiliao, "That is simply the truth."

Qin Yiguan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "I'm currently being held captive here by the enemy. Zhiliao, can you send me out?"

"Brother, I'm so, so sorry."

Zhiliao stopped shaking her legs, pouted, and said, "I can't do it. You should understand. Even if I wanted to go out, I would need Sister Zhichun's summons."

"Yes."

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered, but he could not hide his disappointment.

"Fragrant."

But then, the Caregiver in the distance suddenly looked up from among the large flowers, sniffed, and slowly turned to look at the sugar jar in the Zhiliao's hand. "The jar contains the essence."

But then Zhiliao the honey pot tightly, saying, "You can't eat what's inside, okay? This is for your friends."

Qin Yiguan lowered his head, "Are there any of your kind here?"

The Zhiliao said, "He's not one of my kind, but he can come and go freely here. Every now and then, he comes to play with me. This nectar is a gift I prepared for him."

The Zhiliao chirped, then suddenly looked up at the sky, "He's here."

The entire Subquark Space dimmed instantly.

It was as if everything was shrouded in a layer of black mist.

Then the black mist began to contract, and Qin Yiguan saw the chain-like molecular structure again.

I felt as if I were inside a gigantic object, but I was so small that I could only see its microscopic dimensions.

These molecular structures shrank again, and the surrounding black mist condensed into true darkness.

Then the darkness began to shrink, eventually coalescing into a relatively real 'object'.

This was a giant, his body seemed Infinity tall. Even if Qin Yiguan's body were to grow another 5,000 meters, he still wouldn't be able to surpass the giant's instep.

The giant's body was shrinking continuously.

From Infinity, it became tens of thousands of meters, from tens of thousands of meters to thousands of meters, and finally to hundreds of meters, tens of meters, ten meters, three meters, two meters, and one meter.

He stood in front of Qin Yiguan.

Qin Yiguan was completely stunned.

This is also a little boy, at most five or six years old, perfectly Zhiliao the "partner" positioning in the cicada's words.

He was dressed in a black jumpsuit, his hair was of medium length and slightly covered his forehead, his eyes were large but extremely cold, and his whole person exuded an aura of darkness and gloom.

Qin Yiguan's eyes trembled.

I was reminded of a scene from a long time ago.

That time, in the ' Ghost City,' he opened Black Calamity's wardrobe for the first time.

But they discovered that the wardrobe not only harbored the Black Calamity.

Child were also hiding there.

At that moment, the Child with a morning glory in his mouth glanced at Qin Yiguan.

His body suddenly began to shrink, from the size of a child to the size of a palm, then to the size of a red bean, then to dust, then to atoms, then to quarks, and finally to the God particle.

Finally, he seemed to have broken the minimum limit of the volume of an object in modern physics, and completely disappeared into this dimension.

"Child's ability is to control space."

"At that time, he shrank Infinity, shrank to the extreme, and finally..."

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened. "He's arrived in this Subquark Space!"

"Zhiliao."

But in the Child's dark eyes, a flicker of wariness and fear crossed his eyes, followed by a chilling glint. "Why are there outsiders here?"

Zhiliao chuckled, "They are..."

But before the cicada could Zhiliao speaking...

The Child slightly raised his hand, pointing a finger at the mysterious Underworld!

But then, a circle of blue light, identical to his outline, suddenly appeared around the outside of the Underworld figure, and this light abruptly shrank.

Puff!

The Underworld's defenses were instantly breached, and his entire body was subjected to terrifying compression from every angle. He didn't even have a chance to draw his machete, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

The change was too sudden.

Qin Yiguan knew very well that the Child from this deadly finger strike would be to explode into a bloody mess!

At the critical moment, another spatial force spread out from the Underworld's body.

The same blue light is fighting against the Child's power.

The beam of light, centered on the Underworld figure, slowly expanded, eventually becoming a transparent cube with a faint blue glow, protecting the Underworld figure within.

In the distance, not far away...

The Caregiver, with nectar still clinging to the corners of her mouth, held her baseball cap in one hand and pointed at the transparent cube with the other.

The Caregiver slightly raised her head, looked at the Child, and said, "I don't know why, but seeing you makes me feel very close to you. But even so, you can't attack without knowing the facts."

The Child tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion, quietly watching the Caregiver.

creak creak...

The Caregiver's cubicle groaned under the strain.

The Caregiver frowned. The cube suddenly expanded, and then six more cubes were continuously generated inside, nested one inside the other, forming six layers of defense.

creak creak...

All the space cubes were still emitting sounds of being overburdened.

The Child simply watched quietly.

But then a low growl came from the Caregiver's throat. Qin Yiguan had never seen such a ferocious-looking Caregiver before. He seemed to have reached some kind of limit and was fighting desperately.

"Expand!"

With a roar from the Caregiver, all the spatial cubes suddenly doubled in size!

At the same time, the Caregiver's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

The Child, however, made no physical movement; he merely frowned slightly.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

All the Caregiver's cubes shattered instantly!

He let out a muffled groan, clutching his chest and taking three steps back.

But the Child didn't target the Caregiver; instead, he slowly turned his head, his gaze once again focusing on the Underworld.

The Underworld had barely gotten a two-second respite when he immediately sensed something was wrong again. "There are three outsiders here, why are they targeting me alone?!"

The Child didn't offer any explanation.

The Underworld's body was instantly subjected to tremendous compression, and he was fixed in mid-air, his bones cracking and breaking evenly!

Just as the Child's expression hardened, preparing to completely overwhelm the Underworld...

Qin Yiguan appeared in front of the Child, handing over the candy jar he had taken from Zhiliao, "Here, candy, have some candy first!"

The Child paused slightly, his gaze fixed on the candy jar, his nose twitched, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

Qin Yiguan observed the Child's expression and said, "Nothing is more important than eating a jar of candy. If there is, then it's eating two jars of candy!"

Three minutes later.

Underworld sat to one side, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily, "What's going on here? Who's this child? Who's that child? What's all this about? Why am I always the one who gets hurt?!"

now.

Two little boys, Child and Zhiliao, were sitting on a huge leaf in the distance, their feet swaying slightly.

The Child dipped their fingers into the honey jar and sucked on it, one sip at a time.

Hearing the Underworld ' shouts, the Child instantly stopped sucking, his fingers still in his mouth, and stared at them with a chilling gaze.

"That little pervert..."

The Underworld cursed under his breath, then put on a smiling face. "Haha, it's alright, you eat, you eat, I won't bother you!"

The next moment.

The Underworld muttered insults at the Caregiver again, "You're useless, you can't even beat a child with bound fingers!"

But the Caregiver's expression flickered. "I feel like he's me when I was a child... but back then, my condition was the most severe, and it was never cured. Our abilities both stem from mental illness; he's far stronger than me."

Qin Yiguan's brows were also furrowed at this moment. "His name is Child, and theoretically, he is one of my unactivated ' Higher Self's '."

"Higher Self"?

What is that?

Underworld and the Caregiver were taken aback.

Qin Yiguan was also stunned, "In your Metaverse, is there no ' Higher Self '?"

"No."

The Underworld confidently replied, "Never heard of that!"

Qin Yiguan was also somewhat bewildered, trying hard to sort out his thoughts, "Child can shrink themselves Infinity, or they can enlarge themselves Infinity. When their bodies become large enough, it's as if they've escaped the Subquark Space."

"Moreover, he can also apply this amplification or reduction to others."

"In other words, Child can help us escape from prison."

At that moment, Qin Yiguan frowned slightly. "But Child don't obey my commands."

But then, at this moment...

The Caregiver slightly pulled down the brim of her hat. "I know him, I know him as well as I know myself. I know what he needs. Leave this to me."

That's all.

The Caregiver turned around and walked deeper into the sea of flowers.
