"Keep an eye on us, I'm going in to check on things."
Thoughts raced through his mind, and Leo made his final decision in an instant. He was so close, and he couldn't give up now. He had indeed lost control of the soul, but as the main body, he still had a soul.
That was him!!
Looking at Leo's determined gaze, Yaoyao Yao understood what he was going to do. This was a last-ditch effort; success would open up a whole new world, while failure would simply mean death.
"Go, if you don't have the strength, call me. Your soul is also within me."
Looking at Yaoyao Yao's resolute expression, Leo suddenly realized that besides himself, he also Yaoyao Yao!
Leo entered his own sea of consciousness, jumping into the sea of consciousness belonging to Black Soluo. When Leo's consciousness jumped into Black Soluo's body, he saw a scene of two Black Soluo fighting frantically.
In the void, there was only a small circle, one containing Black Soluo that shimmered with a metallic luster, and the other containing a completely black Black Soluo.
They stood in the center of a small circle, their eight powerful, barbed feet hooked into the ground, their heads vying against each other in a tug-of-war.
Whoever pushes the other out of the small circle wins!
The sound of heavy, labored breathing echoed continuously, emanating from the mouth of the Black Soluo, which gleamed with a metallic sheen.
Under the complete blackness of Black Soluo's oppression, his body would tremble from time to time, a sign of exhaustion!
Neither of the two Black Soluo paid any attention to Leo's appearance. Or rather, this was the most crucial moment. If either of them were to lose focus even slightly, they would be caught by the other, pushed out of the small circle, and fall into the endless void, resulting in utter defeat.
Leo could tell at a glance that the heavily panting Black Soluo, who was at a disadvantage, was his own clone, being slightly suppressed by the pure black Black Soluo conjured from the Black Metal Module opposite him.
Leo's consciousness directly entered the clone Black Soluo. With Leo's addition, Black Soluo, shimmering with a black metallic luster, instantly doubled in size.
Black Soluo looked down at the pure black Black Soluo below; the two opposing forces, which had been evenly matched, had now turned into an adult bullying a child.
The gigantic Black Soluo unleashed tremendous power, instantly pushing the Black Metal Module Black Soluo, which had just been suppressed, out of the small circle.
Leo flew out of Black Soluo's body and stood face to face with Black Soluo. Although it seemed that subduing the Metal Module did not take long, every moment was a huge test of his spirit!
Fortunately, they ultimately succeeded!
"I knew you'd come," Black Soluo said to Leo, laughing heartily after surviving the ordeal.
Leo, having not experienced the energy impact of the Metal Module, was unaware of the specific dangers involved. However, for Black Soluo, he had repeatedly teetered on the brink of death while subduing the Metal Module.
Leo looked at the small circle and the void outside it, "Is this the Land of Rules of the Metal Module?"
"You didn't expect this, did you? His Land of Rules is in such a state. I was shocked when I first came in," Black Soluo said.
"So, what's the current situation...?"
"We won, of course we won."
Just as Black Soluo was cheering, a Black Metal Module that kept changing shape appeared in the small circle they were in.
Black Soluo chuckled as he stepped forward and swallowed the Black Metal Module whole. A smug smile spread across his face as he swallowed, as if it tasted delicious.
Leo looked at Black Soluo, waiting for his feedback.
Instead of speaking to Leo to introduce himself, Black Soluo stood up abruptly. Since his true form was a beetle, standing up like this, with only his two hind legs supporting his body, looked somewhat strange.
Under Leo's gaze, Black Soluo, in its beetle form, seemed to have a liquid-like body, and actually... rapidly changed shape.
In an instant, he transformed into a body exactly like Leo's!
"This is the ability of the Metal Module to liquefy. My body has become completely metallized and can transform into any shape."
Black Soluo proudly showed Leo his new body, which was exactly the same as Leo's, with every detail identical and no trace of its metallic nature.
Leo wanted to go up and tap his body, but they were in a simulated environment of Metal Module where they were both conscious beings, only visible to the naked eye, without physical form.
That wasn't all. Black Soluo's body rapidly transformed, from tables and chairs to flowers, birds, fish, and insects, and then to sophisticated warships; Black Soluo changed everything in a short period of time.
Although some details were not quite right in the changes, the sheer ability to adapt left Leo speechless.
Even the Level-Five World Lord in the Rota World didn't demonstrate this ability!
"That's because he's controlled by the Metal Module. I'm different. I completely control the Metal Module. As long as there's enough energy, I can unleash its full power—mastering metal." Black Soluo transformed into Leo's appearance, stretched out his palm, and the constantly changing shape of the Metal Module appeared on his palm.
The Metal Module is the embodiment of the universe's rules governing metal. Controlling the Metal Module means controlling all metals!
"With your current energy level, how much of the Metal Module's power can you utilize?"
A cosmic treasure, each activation inevitably consumes terrifying amounts of energy, just like the Hundred-Page World back then.
The self-sacrifice of the World Lord was only enough to open the first page of the Hundred-Page World. The Hundred-Page World only had enough energy to open the entire world after it was connected to the Tower of Elements and received energy support from the Supreme Lord.
20%.
Black Soluo, who had transformed into Leo's appearance, held up two fingers.
"However, once you advance to level five, you'll be able to utilize about 40% of your full potential."
"I'm not very proficient in the rules of the Metal Module yet. I can send your consciousness into the Metal Module, and we can comprehend it together, which will allow us to fully master it in the shortest time," Black Soluo said.
"Okay, I'll now return to my body and enter the world."
As Leo spoke, his consciousness disappeared from Black Soluo's body and returned to his own body through the ocean of consciousness.
When Leo opened his eyes, he saw Black Soluo open his eyes as well.
The shadow on Black Soluo faded, and his black eyes returned to their original form. The aura of Level-Four Lord of Souls had been replaced by a mysterious energy aura, which was the energy aura of the cosmic-level Black Metal Module in his body!
"You succeeded?" Yaoyao asked with a cheer as he looked at the two who had regained consciousness. In fact, he knew, but he couldn't suppress his joy and wanted to hear it from them again.
"Success! Next, I'm going to advance to level five. Keep an eye on your surroundings," Leo said with a smile.
Don't worry, I've got your back.
Leo nodded slightly to Black Soluo, and with a tap of his foot, he appeared within the world barrier.
The world, terrified by Leo's power, erupted with energy and spatial compression around Leo's body, trying to squeeze Leo out.
But the power of the World Will is so weak that the energy and spatial compression it unleashed could only flutter the Godslaying Wizard Robe on Leo's body.
Leo was within the world, and he could hear the world's heavy breathing as it bore him!
Leo casually found a mountaintop to sit down, closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness once again entered Black Soluo's body.
This time, Leo saw a long, turbulent river of metal. This was a concrete manifestation of the rules possessed by the Metal Module, which allowed Leo and Black Soluo to better understand the rules mastered by the Metal Module.
Black Soluo was drifting in the river of metal with his eyes closed, enjoying its cleansing effect.
Leo stepped into the river of metal, enjoying its cleansing and washing effects.
That wasn't a baptism; it was the descent of the Power of Laws, the boundless knowledge opening its arms to Leo.
The rules governing Metal Module are the rules governing metal itself.
"Boom"
Leo felt like his brain was about to explode; the endless knowledge of metals completely transformed his understanding of the world.
A massive influx of knowledge constantly filled his mind, allowing him to rapidly update his knowledge system and gain a deeper understanding of the entire universe!
Although the rules contained in the Metal Module are limited to metal, such a detailed knowledge system still made Leo completely forget everything else.
Combining his existing knowledge with his own, everything Leo had previously known was undergoing a dramatic transformation.
Metal,
An unprecedented closeness to all metallic elements in the entire universe.
If the element Leo was most familiar with before this was the element of thunder, then...
That's no longer the case; in reality, metallic elements encompass all metals!
He felt as if he had become the smallest metal particle, constantly growing and evolving alongside other metal particles over time.
They connect and combine with each other, and under the influence of powerful forces, they can even form new metallic particles.
He's gotten stronger!
It can be fragile, fluid, explosive, contain boundless energy, become incredibly hard, and become incredibly heavy...
Leo swayed in the metallic river, a genuine smile on her face that could only appear when she was back in her mother's arms.
At this moment, he is the child of metal, he is the embodiment of metal!
At that moment, he understood the essence of metal, understood everything about metal!
His body felt warm and comfortable, with energy exceeding his physical limits surging within him. External energy was constantly flowing into his body, and even more power from the deepest part of his body was surging forth.
It's completely unreasonable that he should be acquiring so much knowledge at his level. This is causing his original power to change rapidly under the influence of higher-level knowledge!
The interplay, collision, and fusion of various forces instantly opened Leo's eyes, who was immersed in the wonderful ocean of knowledge.
The next instant, his consciousness returned from Black Soluo's body to his original form!
The Bloodline Power, which had been restrained by the Energy Sealing Technique, became incredibly violent at this moment, like a giant trying to break free of its shackles. The rampaging Bloodline Power caused all the Energy Sealing Technique runes hidden in Leo's body to surface.
With the support of the Black Metal Module's Power of Laws and knowledge, his Bloodline Power has reached the edge of advancement and is completely beyond Leo's control.
The Energy Sealing Technique kept flashing, as if it was about to be blown apart by the rampaging Bloodline Power!
