As he released the World Domain, W. Walter naturally noticed Charlesâ arrival.
"Youâve returned so quickly, Director Charles? It seems the support operation must have failed... Iâm truly sorry I couldnât provide assistance."
Charles gazed directly at the situation before him, suppressing his anger.
In his heart, the loss of a Subsuper World might not be as important as Han Dong... naturally, he had no intention of blaming Walter.
Charles calmly responded:
"Even if you arrived, it would have been useless. The opponent switched to an extremely secretive infiltration technique involving âPerfect Mirror Reflection.â We were a step late upon arrival.
The situation is too âpassive,â we must find a way to adapt, otherwise this is too frustrating."
Walter had thought the same for a long time. He longed to launch a full attack and directly hit the Dragonâs lair.
"How should we adapt? Persuade Mr. An to initiate the final contingency measures?
Abandon the other areas of the Black Tower World, treating the Black Tower itself as a whole entity to perform a âjump and strikeâ against the Out of Control and B.B.C in the Shattered Dimension?"
"Unless things reach a critical point, Mr. An wonât agree to abandon the Black Tower World.
Wait for Han Dong to complete the âspecial trainingâ youâve provided, then use him as the Middleman to go to S-01 and meet up with Madame Bei... and have a talk with the group of Demons."
Upon hearing of the trip to S-01, Walter immediately thought of his âdealâ with Han Dong.
"Iâll join you on the trip."
"Are you really sure about going, Walter? Donât you have a strong prejudice against Demons? Are you sure there wonât be any issues?"
Charles deliberately glanced at Walterâs prosthetic leg.
"There wonât be any, and I will do my best to restrain impulsive tendencies, helping increase the success rate of the negotiations."
These words left Charles quite surprised.
He knew very well that Walter was a letter holder with serious character flaws, usually not being brought along for important external negotiations.
Additionally, Walter himself was not interested.
Yet this time he proactively asked to go to S-01 and even verbally guaranteed it upfront.
"Alright then, once we apply to Mr. An, you can follow me there... Now, tell me about Han Dongâs current state."
...
Within the Black Whirlpool.
Han Dong took a full three days to find the âbalance pointâ within,
then spent another whole day achieving perfect adaptation to the Black Whirlpool, allowing his body to conform to the swirlâs motion and maintain âstillness.â
The key in this process was that the Black Whirlpool Han Dong mastered was rotating inversely within his body.
This process required no subjective control,
The Black Whirlpool had already established a connection with the âFaceless Myth,â autonomously adapting its rotation frequency to remain consistent with the external Black Whirlpool Field, achieving balance.
When Han Dong reached such balance, he elevated this âexternal toolâ of the Black Whirlpool to a âcore tool.â
At the same time,
on the back of the Throne Stele,
a small black dot appeared at the center of the three puzzle pieces.
With subsequent training,
this black dot would gradually transform into a real vortex structure, connecting the three major systems.
Realizing this, Han Dong began to slowly awaken.
Both he and Walter needed some rest before continuing with deeper study and training.
The terrifying Black Whirlpool Domain also withdrew back into Walter, knowing that fully releasing the domain and maintaining it for several days was quite taxing even for the Upper Rank.
When Han Dong opened his eyes, tiny black whirlpools were swirling around in his eyeballs.
A difficult-to-suppress Mad Laugh expression emerged on his face.
"The direction is completely correct!
I can fully utilize the âBlack Whirlpoolâ as a tool to elevate the seemingly perfect âTrinityâ to an even higher level... Thanks for providing this domain space, Walter."
In his words, Han Dong transformed into his human form, kneeling on one knee before Walter.
Walterâs voice followed immediately:
"Only four days... It looks like I need to have a good talk with Mento about the issue of letter inheritance.
Additionally, youâve only just stepped onto this level. To elevate the Black Whirlpool to a higher tier, Iâll naturally give you some pointers, but it mainly depends on your own efforts."
"Alright... Hmm, Director Charles."
Once his excitement subsided, Han Dong realized the arrival of another person.
However,
standing nearby, Director Charlesâ face turned pale with angerâWalter had blatantly displayed his intention to poach him.
"Ahem... Weâll talk more about the specifics on the way. We need you as the Middleman to go for a trip to S-01."
"Alright."
Alongside Director Charles on the trip to S-01, besides W. Walter, there was naturally M. Mento... and Director Z. Zod, who could indirectly increase the success rate of various events.
During the journey to the Portal,
Han Dong also learned about the âMirror Invasionâ that occurred just yesterday. Shocked, he was filled with interest in his eyes.
"Director Charles, do you mean the âWorld Rubikâs Cubeâ can alter its properties depending on different users?"
"Judging by current performance, yes.
But there must be constraints. The Rubikâs Cube effects activated by different users vary greatly.
Goodman must be the best controller,
The âMiss Lengâ responsible for the Mirror Invasion should be a secondary option... The Out of Control are inherently rule-breaking entities, possibly with more high-quality backup options among them.
Continuing such Defense and support will only become more passive.
We must substantively persuade the Demons to commence action earlier."
"Oh... Okay!"
However,
Han Dongâs mind was not focused on the Out of Control or persuading the Old Kings to act ahead,
but rather exhibited a sort of greed towards the Rubikâs Cube.
Buzz!
As they crossed the World Portal, the group landed on the surface of a barren planet.
Before Han Dong could begin to lead the way.
Madame Bei somehow descended among them through unknown means with her âtrue self.â
The astute Han Dong immediately noticed that this Madame Bei seemed somewhat different.
The pairing of white shirt, black trench coat, and knee-high boots was the same as always.
But the short hair that once covered half of her face was now combed to the other side.
"Bei, weâve applied to Mr. An.
Since we canât find a breakthrough regardless, we must negotiate again with the Demons, even if it means offering special conditions."
"Alright~ Hmm... When did you become a King, and thereâs also a whirlpool aura?"
As Madame Bei gazed at Han Dong, who was now a King, she faintly sensed a high-level âScales Tilt Sensation,â though it quickly vanished.
Han Dong quickly bowed his head, replying: "I just became a King recently, thanks to Walterâs guidance. Iâve advanced beyond the Pseudo-King stage."
"Alright then, soon weâll need you as the Middleman to assist with the negotiations... Letâs head out."
Just as everyone prepared to move toward the star region where the âVoidâ was located.
It seemed something was observing their every move invisibly,
A Portal directly connected to the Void appeared out of nowhere on the planetâs surface a hundred meters away.
Every person saw the âDoorâ differently, corresponding to their inner conceptual mapping of the door.
Seeing this scene,
A cold sweat slid down Charlesâ cheek.
"This is terrifying, indeed worthy of S-01âs omniscience and omnipotence..."
