Holy Cityâs Peak - Holy Ring (Mechanical Core)
Mr. Newton was wearing a special pair of electricianâs glasses, with various metal connections of different specifications attached to the surface of his right arm,
the other end of which connected to the âshutdown stateâ of the Steam Knights - their leader, Gary G Troswick.
Utilizing new technologies obtained through study and exchange at Mi University, upgrades are being made, even modifying the "Power Core"...
Various cables connected Newtonâs arm to Garyâs back.
This scene made Gary appear more like Newtonâs âstand-in messengerâ, with their battles set to synergize.
Though Gary is a creation of Newton, both exude completely different âregal aurasâ.
Just as the upgrade process was halfway through,
a jet-black and white light shot from the Stargazing Room, completely coloring the sky above the Holy City, prompting Newton to pause his work and observe this peculiar phenomenon.
Unfortunately, they were unable to discern what the ink wash painting intended to convey before it was torn apart by the void.
"That old man Black White, actually managed to complete the âDual King Ascensionâ... and even attracted the attention of the void, how envious."
Newton showed little change in expression and had no intention of joining the commotion, continuing his upgrade work.
[Perspective Shift]
Mr. Eugene himself descended.
Itâs important to note that
we are currently on the brink of commencing the âFinal Gameâ, and Mr. Eugene, as the orchestrator, should remain in void space, constantly observing external disturbances.
Unexpectedly, he descended due to the matter of a human attaining kingship.
[Stargazing Room]
A shoe with a cosmic diamond embedded at the edge stepped onto the ground.
A face reflecting the full view of world S-01 looked around, then made a finger-pulling motion.
Buzz!
In the Prison World, Han Dong, and Mr. Black White, who had just achieved the âDual King Ascensionâ, were simultaneously pulled back to reality.
Currently,
Mr. Black Whiteâs appearance has changed significantly from before.
1. Half-black and half-white hair, separated left and right.
2. A Tai Chi mask, naturally formed during the king ascension, worn on the face,
3. The left half of the body is clad in a simplistic astrologerâs robe, drawn with star charts, while the right half is adorned with crow feathers, even growing crow heads on the shoulders, in a Crowman robe.
"Really stirring things up~ nearly âleakedâ prematurely.
Itâs no wonder you could foresee such a scene, partly due to your close connection with Nicholas, and also because you chose the Yin Yang Fusion, which aligns with the Yin Yang Effect developed by Second Prophets in your soul state.
Itâs better to forget things accidentally foreseen."
With that,
Mr. Eugene touched Mr. Black Whiteâs brow with a finger,
As he saw it, what Mr. Black White had foreseen must not be disclosed externally,
or it could impact the upcoming [Final Game], possibly even causing an irreversible intervention effect on the multiverseâs trajectory.
Moreover,
The reason Mr. Black White was able to foresee this scene is that his king ascension was directly aided by Han Dong, with contact at the soulâs plane, and his ascension location coincidentally was in the Prison World,
Hence, such accidentally foreseen future memories must be erased.
Since Mr. Eugene himself descended, it indicated the matter was significant, and Han Dong only stayed silently aside, waiting for the memory erasure to finish.
Itâs unclear how much time passed.
Mr. Black White opened his eyes again, quickly bowing before the Void Lord.
Though the memory of the foresight was removed,
he remembered vividly everything that happened during the king ascension... naturally knowing that his former student provided great assistance during his king ascension.
At this point, Mr. Eugeneâs voice echoed in his ears:
"The Pope has long extended an invitation from the void to you, your stargazing talents indeed qualify you to learn void knowledge alongside me.
However, since your king ascension insights borrowed and fused with the âSecondâsâ Yin Yang theory,
you may also choose to go to the Dreamlands, to pursue the truth of knowledge with Him, the choice is yours.
Lastly, a reminder, the Final Game is about to commence, make sure humans are prepared to participate."
After outlining two future paths to Mr. Black White,
Mr. Eugene gazed meaningfully at Han Dong before turning back into the void space.
"Phew~ I really didnât expect Mr. Eugene to come, it seems the celestial phenomenon you triggered must have been very special, perhaps affecting the worldâs dynamics... itâs a pity we were in the Prison World and couldnât see clearly."
As Han Dong let out a sigh of relief for his teacherâs successful king ascension,
hands in black and white gloves respectively patted Han Dongâs shoulders gently.
"Nicholas, come sit down."
"Yes, teacher."
No matter if Han Dong had surpassed Mr. Black White today,
he always regarded Black White as âteacherâ, his reverence unchanged over time.
The two sat across a small table, with a specially mixed cocktail by Black White placed before Han Dong,
at this point,
Han Dong also posed a query.
"Teacher, I have a question.
In my understanding, youâve never done anything without planning.
Long before I came to the Holy City, you must have been preparing for this major âking ascensionâ event, adjusting your body, soul, and spirit to the best conditions for internal {Balance} to surely achieve perfection.
How could an âimbalanceâ or even complete imbalance and rampage occur at the last moment, were you being secretly interfered with? Or... were you trying an alternative breakthrough?"
"You should have peeked into my past experiences.
Since I stepped into the depths of the ancient tomb and touched the throne there, Iâve been pursuing a way to completely blend Black and White.
This loss of control before the king ascension was intentional,
I deliberately allowed the balance to tip, to let Black and White colors fall into chaotic states, for mutual devouring, immersion, and assimilation within me... according to my estimation, Fusion State would be achieved after {108 Days}.
During which I would fall into a complete loss of control.
Therefore, I also informed each cohort leader, council, etc. in advance, so that they wouldnât be concerned about the anomalies occurring in the Stargazing Room.
The only unexpected event was your arrival, Nicholas.
With your assistance, I completed the fusion ahead of schedule and reached a better state than expected... The so-called Yin Yang must be the skill of the rumored âSecond Prophetâ?"
"Correct, I had the fortunate opportunity to encounter the Second Prophet in the Dreamlands.
Whether you choose the void or Dreamlands in the future, I can guide you, teacher."
"Letâs discuss it after the so-called Final Game concludes, and if I survive.
Iâm extremely thankful for your arrival, Nicholas, truly grateful this time... I sincerely hope to see the predicted scene with my own eyes."
"Hmm? Teacher, do you still have your memory?"
"Only remnants of starlight, yet I know the erased scene has a close connection to you and the entire world.
When that moment arrives, the lost memory in my brain should be reassembled."
After drinking a sip of the starlight-shining drink, Mr. Black White stared at Han Dong:
"The so-called [Final Game], though immense in scale and threat, will affect the entire S-01,
but, whether Marlon, Alex, or the others have reached higher levels, the Knight Regiment has basic self-protecting capabilities.
Nicholas, you can fully focus on yourself, without worrying about this side...
Now, you are no longer bound by anything, pursue your own road diligently."
"Understood, teacher, I will give it my all~"
