Chapter 1905: Chapter 1903: World Mountain
The Black Tower has officially entered Level One Alert status.
1. Close all inter-world channels.
2. Suspend the Fate Space System (ongoing fate events remain unaffected).
3. The internal trading system of the Black Tower is in a semi-open state, with some resources temporarily unavailable for exchange.
4. All Destiny Travelers active within the Black Tower are prohibited from returning to their original worlds and will be forcibly conscripted to assist relevant departments with maintenance and control operations.
5. A “World Conference” is convened simultaneously.
Only node holders from Subsuper and Super Worlds may attend.
The main agenda is briefing them on the crisis situation and providing partial data on the Out of control individuals,
the most important aspect being to ask them to temporarily set aside mutual conflicts and establish inter-world channels.
Should any world be invaded by the Out of control, other worlds can quickly provide assistance… Of course, this assistance is not mandatory; if it’s deemed that a world has been fully infiltrated by the uncontrolled forces, the connected world channels can even be actively closed.
6. Evacuation passages leading to the Black Tower are organized according to the size and order of worlds.
To orderly receive ‘main life forms’ from various worlds.
Of course, the number of life forms received is directly proportional to the contributions made by their world… No matter how large, the Black Tower’s world cannot accommodate all beings from countless worlds.
…
The various warning measures are being carried out in an orderly manner.
This also led to the rejection of the earl and his group’s application to go to S-01.
“What shall we do…”
After hearing the staff’s explanation, Nicole’s pink tentacles uncontrollably spilled out.
A slender hand, oozing resentment, gently patted Nicole’s head, “It’s alright~ This doggo will surely come up with something.”
“Who’s the dog?!”
The Count glared fiercely at Chen Li, though it was just a glance without taking it seriously.
The Count spoke with a helpless expression:
“I never expected we’d be stuck at this exact moment.
Either way, we must find a way to return…We can only go to the boxing club to look for an opportunity, using Han Dong’s contacts; maybe we can open a backdoor.
Given the current critical situation, the lunatics between the clubs shouldn’t force us to box.”
Just as the Count was about to step out of the Black Tower Office, he was immediately blocked by a group of Enforcement Officers wearing vortex masks.
“According to the fate contract you signed.
When the Black Tower enters Level Two or higher alert status, it has the right to conscript Destiny Travelers active within the Black Tower’s domain.
According to the agreement, if an individual refuses conscription, all privileges related to the Black Tower will be revoked, and they will be barred from any Fate Travels in the future.”
“Wait, we didn’t sign any contract.
We came here through that Nicholas kid; if anyone signed a contract, it should be him…Oh right, the name he registered with you should be [Han Dong].”
When the Count uttered this name,
the Enforcement Officer’s mask immediately spun around,
The name [Han Dong] has recently become quite prominent,
The leading enforcement officer immediately proceeded to verify the identities of the Count and his companions.
According to the information records, as the Count stated, the four were indeed tied to Han Dong,
The officer’s tone abruptly softened,
“You share a Master-Servant Relationship with Mr. Han Dong, who arranged for you to undergo fate training here. It unexpectedly coincides with the current crisis.
In this case, the Black Tower indeed has no right to ‘forcibly conscript’ you… Please wait a moment while I report your situation to higher authorities to see what arrangements they might make.”
Who would have thought, the situation was reported, and within two minutes.
Drip~ A drop of white liquid fell to the ground.
Quickly forming into a dashing gentleman in a white suit and leather shoes, without even having time to don a mask.
“Mr. M!”
The Enforcement Officers immediately knelt on one knee.
Mr. M’s gaze remained fixed on the Count and his companions.
“Intending to directly reach S-01 is currently somewhat difficult; follow me first.
Complete a task for me first, and naturally, there will be an opportunity to go with me to S-01… Rest assured, you will eventually meet Han Dong.
Moreover, you might not yet be able to match Han Dong’s current level.
I will grant you some special opportunities; it’s up to you to seize them.”
“Thanking Mr. M for the trouble.”
Upon hearing these words, the Count’s desire to return to Han Dong decreased by 80% instantly.
Having tasted some benefit at the Saint Grade, his sense for opportunities is sharp.
As the Count needs to return to submit a self-criticism, he has not yet fully absorbed the Titan’s corpse… If opportunities provided by Mr. M, independent of Han Dong, are available solely to himself, the Count is more than willing.
Or to say,
The Count wishes to return with an entirely different demeanor,
One that showcases his boundless potential, accomplishments, and is worthy of his titles as the Scarlet Count and the ambassador of Nether Blood upon his return.
He yearns intensely… craving to see a look of astonishment on Han Dong’s face.
Just as the Count was about to inquire where Mr. M wanted them to go,
The modeling liquid had already enveloped their bodies,
The sensation was of seamless, ultra-fast traversal… Awaiting the dispersal of the liquid, they found themselves standing upon a mountain peak.
This mountain exists in the ‘fourth dimension,’ situated among hundreds of worlds, offering a panoramic view of multiple worlds from its summit.
“These worlds were modeled and created by me, entirely original worlds of high value, absolutely cannot be influenced by the Out of control.
Here, I need you to relay a message.
For worlds like [Corpse Country] which are related to Han Dong, a connection will be established with S-01.
For other unrelated worlds, a secret channel to the Black Tower will be created through a [Backdoor] I set, firstly transferring some key figures over.
This is my ‘Hand Seal,’ just show it to them.”
“Running… errands?”
The Count initially thought it was a grand opportunity, but it turned out to be similar to following Han Dong around.
“If you do not wish to, you can wait here.”
“Running! It would be an honor to run errands for Mr. M.”
The Count had already knelt on one knee, receiving a unique hand seal.
“You need to know, these worlds are personally crafted by me… There must be some differences within, and whether you can discover opportunities during these errands depends on you personally.”
“Alright.”
The Count already displayed an eagerness, instinctively standing on all fours… just shy of barking twice.
With Mr. M’s permission, he immediately headed to the first world.
Chen Li and Nicole quickly followed suit.
During the descent,
The Count found the others’ pace to be somewhat slow,
especially Nicole, who was using tentacles to move,
Considering they are important minions to Han Dong with past cooperative combat experiences, he reluctantly allowed them to ride once… Just once.
Meanwhile,
As Togu was about to follow, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
“The most unique group within Hell – ‘Hell Raiser.’
Also, an individual chosen by [D], with developmental experience in Derry Town.
You achieved the ultimate trial in ‘Clive Barker’s Jericho,’ reaching the Myth stage… Nicholas does have a good eye for people, with a few more years, you could partake in the ‘Demon King Examination’ in Hell.
Moreover, the chain on your body seems to emit a familiar aura.”
Speaking thus,
Mr. M’s palm slowly moved downwards,
Upon touching the chain wrapped around Togu’s right arm, he immediately sensed the internal “World Power” it contained.
Togu quickly explained:
“This is a ‘World Lock Chain’ brought out from the Corpse Country, I could control it due to its lack of immediate use… Nicholas then handed the chain over to me.
Currently, the rest of the chains within me are undergoing subtle changes due to the introduction of the World Lock Chain.
This journey to a quick breakthrough in the Mythic Body also relates closely to the chain.”
“World Lock Chains are not something that can be controlled casually… You need not join them in running errands; aid me with another task, can you see the situation beneath?”
Mr. M stood at the cliff, pointing to the clouds below.
“Not very clear, I have almost no training in the eye, no match for Sir Nicholas.”
“Then how about now, is it clearer?”
A thin layer of modeling liquid covered Togu’s eye, enhancing his vision over tenfold.
Amidst the mountainside, enormous chains existed, connecting all visible worlds from that vantage.
“World Lock Chains transcend conventional dimensions, existing as the fundamental ‘Rule,’ personally created by me.
This is my first encounter with an individual capable of maneuvering the chains… Now assist in dragging the chains, drawing these worlds toward the ‘World Mountain.’
For each world you manage to drag, I’ll gift you as many chains.”
“Thank you, my lord.”
Togu displayed little change in expression, unaware of the immense opportunity presented.
He simply regarded it as another task to be completed.
