A storm brewing

Multiverse No. 0522.

Like a black vortex, the Aoke Universe floats in the sky.

Occasionally, residents would pass by, and they were all horrified.

Beneath the Aoke Universe, a massive black vortex was unleashed, swirling up tons of Source Matter from the ground. The Source Matter slowly rose into the air, continuously being absorbed by the black vortex.

AKI stood at the center of the black vortex, silently watching this scene.

Source Matter, the core code within the Metaverse, is equivalent to a raw material. Combined with the special programming techniques created by AKI, Source Matter can transform into all things.

Because this is the Metaverse, a world of code.

Therefore, the Source Matter can overturn all kinds of physical laws and cognitive logic; it is omnipotent.

This is the 'setting' that AKI mentioned.

now.

A counterpart clad in technological armor, named ' Many-Shadow Aoke,' has been authorized to enter this Aoke Universe and come to AKI's side.

Many-Shadow Aoke, was filled with trepidation and flattery, "Respected Core Aoke..."

But AKI looked at him coldly and interrupted him directly, "I don't like that title. From now on, everyone will just call me AKI. The era of Core Aoke is over. From now on, the Ao Council will only have one leader, and that is me, AKI!"

"Yes..."

Many-Shadow Aoke swallowed hard, "Respected Lord AKI, hehe, this time I've contributed nearly 120 tons of Source Matter to you, hehe..."

AKI nodded slightly, "I will grant you power."

Upon hearing this, Many-Shadow Aoke was overjoyed!

Just then, a black dot suddenly appeared in the distant sky and flew rapidly toward AKI's location!

Many-Shadow Aoke's expression changed. "An enemy attack?"

AKI frowned, slowly raised his hand, and the black dot instantly lost all its impact, landing steadily in AKI's hand.

These black dots, resembling wriggling asphalt, are exactly the same shape as those in the Aoke Universe.

AKI slightly opened his eyes, "Did Black-Skinned Aoke die?"

"Ah?"

Many-Shadow Aoke was taken aback upon hearing this.

The so-called "Black-Skinned Aoke" was actually the first counterpart to obtain Lord AKI's power. Didn't he return to Multiverse No. 1020 to assassinate Qin Yiguan?

"The Black Matter is actually part of the Aoke Universe."

I've configured it.

"Once the host dies, the Black Matter will automatically return to the Aoke Universe."

At this moment, AKI spread his five fingers apart, and a Black Matter into a square plane, displaying its contents like a monitor.

That was the scene before Black-Skinned Aoke died.

Unbeknownst to others, AKI had also implemented a 'monitoring' setting for the Black Matter.

However, AKI, who was watching the screen, underwent a series of extreme changes in expression.

His Pupil widened at first.

Then came a frenzied joy.

Then came a gnashing of teeth, an incredibly twisted rage!

"Those are Qin Yiguan!"

He's still alive!

"I can personally carry out the revenge!"

"It actually killed a member of my Ao Council!"

AKI growled.

Many-Shadow Aoke's eyes twitched slightly. "Lord AKI, Qin Yiguan can defeat the Black Matter."

AKI's eyes burned with rage, "That's because the Black-Skinned Aoke didn't have enough Black Matter, and the Source Matter I have is far from enough!"

Many-Shadow Aoke's eyes lit up. "My lord, please grant me enough Black Matter. I will make up for Black Skin's mistake and I will wipe out that Qin Yiguan!"

"Madness."

But AKI's voice gradually lowered, and he instantly suppressed his anger, a dark glint in his eyes. "Black Skin has already met such a fate, am I really going to be foolish enough to send people to their deaths one by one?"

"Qin Yiguan has some tricks up his sleeve."

"And he also has a team of like-minded individuals behind him."

"Hehe."

Things are getting interesting.

AKI's eyes flashed. "Revenge isn't about blindly attacking, but about ensuring their death! I didn't know Qin Yiguan was still alive, and I underestimated the abilities of Qin Yiguan's counterpart. I won't make the same mistake again."

"What I need to do now is accumulate resources covertly."

"Unlimited collection of Source Matter."

"I want to expand the Aoke Universe ten thousand times."

"I need to refine the character design of the Black Matter."

"I'm going to arm an Aoke Legion' with Black Matter magic."

"The current Qin Yiguan has absolutely no understanding of Black Matter; in the future, it's even more unimaginable!"

AKI's head slowly lowered, his expression like a fox lurking in the shadows. "I will choose a perfect location and personally confront Qin Yiguan in a final showdown. I must ensure that it is a one-sided crushing defeat! I will not act rashly, I will not give Qin Yiguan any chance, I will eliminate all variables, I will be composed, absolutely composed!"

A moment of silence.

AKI suddenly turned around, various data flashing through his mind: 'size', 'material', 'process', '3D modeling'...

And in this very moment.

Behind the scenes in the Aoke Universe, a building exactly like the official castle of "The Breath of the Mute" rose from the ground and took shape instantly.

AKI turned around and said to the somewhat dazed Many-Shadow Aoke, "No need to stop, proceed to the next Source Matter collection site immediately!"

Immediately.

AKI's figure disappeared into the towering castle.

"The 'asphalt' on Black-Skin Big Head flew away."

"It's like it was automatically recycled."

The Underworld gripped his machete and gazed into the distance.

The Caregiver pressed down on the brim of his hat. "That thing is very difficult to deal with; Anti-Source Matter is absolutely key."

"Yes."

"AKI is definitely growing stronger."

Qin Yiguan frowned, racking his brains, but he still had no clue about the Anti-Source Matter.

then.

Qin Yiguan turned around, his gaze falling on the Dishwasher, and then he strode towards the Dishwasher.

I stared at the metal cross on the Dishwasher's chest.

Qin Yiguan looked suspicious. "This item is so magical that it can suppress your abilities? In other words, it can cure your ailment?"

Underworld and Caregiver also gathered there.

At this moment, the Dishwasher looked at the three of them, his expression gentle. He slowly touched the cross on his chest and smiled, "This is something left behind by Boss Meng. Over the years, it has been supporting me..."

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened in surprise, "It's Boss Meng?!"

Four people, all dressed in Qin Yiguan.

I stood in this dimly lit back alley.

The Dishwasher slowly recounted the origin of the cross and his experiences over the years.

All three of them found Richie strange; it was like another, completely different life for them.

"So, without this cross, your abilities will spiral out of control?"

"Yes, without it, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

Everyone fell silent.

final.

Qin Yiguan gave up the idea of taking the cross.

Qin Yiguan had been suspecting that the cross was related to the Anti-Source Matter -Anti-Source Matter and intended to borrow it... a genuine borrowing, with the owner's permission.

But now we know that the Dishwasher cherishes this cross as if it were his life.

Moreover...

This cross is indeed a priceless treasure.

Its effects are nothing short of miraculous.

It is probably irreplaceable.
