When she used it, because of her personality, she always felt that it was somewhat underwhelming and she couldn't fully unleash its power.
But now, this core technology is in my hands!
Zhou Ye could almost imagine how he would play with this power!
Before he could recover from his huge surprise, the results of the final lottery draw were announced.
Its brilliance is even more dazzling than that of diamonds; it is a dazzling light that can blind people!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 200 dazzling-grade [Talking Tom Fragments]! Current progress: (311/600)!]
Awesome!
Zhou Ye couldn't help but smile.
This time, the system finally worked out for me.
Unlike a novice who has just acquired power, Zhou Ye's mastery of his power is not at the level of "somewhat knowledgeable" as described in online novels, but it is still outstanding.
With a thought, he issued the command directly in his mind.
"System, implant the [Herrscher of Life and Death Core] and Talking Tom fragments."
[Ding, received.]
hum-
An indescribable, immense power instantly washed over Zhou Ye's soul.
It was a vast, contradictory, yet perfectly unified torrent of power.
Half of it is the gentle, life-giving power that nurtures all things, while the other half is the cold, decaying power that ends everything.
If it were anyone with a weak will, their soul would probably be torn to pieces the moment they came into contact with this power, by these two extremely opposing concepts.
But Zhou Ye's consciousness, like an indestructible lighthouse, remained steadfast despite the storm of life and death sweeping through it.
Before he could fully digest this power, another torrent, full of absurdity and unbridled nature, surged in as well.
That's the power of Tom the cat.
An illogical law of cause and effect, ignoring the laws of physics, twists all common sense into ridiculous graffiti.
Two completely different forces stirred up a monstrous wave in his mental world.
The core of the Law of Life and Death is the ultimate order, the fundamental law of the universe's birth and death.
The fragments of Talking Tom represent the ultimate chaos, an absolute disorder that challenges all order.
Strange phenomena occurred outside Zhou Ye's room.
In the corner, a potted plant that had been somewhat withered suddenly sprouted new buds, bloomed into magnificent flowers within seconds, and then withered and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes.
The air was thick with the scents of life and death, mingling and colliding within the confined space, sending a chill down the spines of everyone present.
Nami and the others instinctively held their breath, their bodies stiffening, unable to move even a finger.
They felt as if they were sandwiched between two giant millstones, one side the warm flame of life and the other the biting ice of death, ready to be crushed at any moment.
In his miniature mechanical dragon form, Draig's emerald green eyes flashed wildly, and the data streams seemed to burst from their sockets.
"A madman! This man is a complete and utter madman!"
Its soul roared, filled with horror and disbelief.
"How dare he! How dare he simultaneously merge two such opposing forces!"
"This is the power of creation and destruction! And what the hell is that? Chaos! Disorder! To try and cram both of these into the same soul, is he out of his mind?!"
However, the anticipated explosion and collapse did not occur.
The violent energy storm within Zhou Ye's body gradually subsided.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were so deep they seemed to hold the birth and death of stars.
He simply glanced calmly at the plant in the corner that had turned to ashes.
Just a thought.
Amidst the ashes, a new green shoot broke through the soil, growing and blooming at a speed defying the laws of life, restoring its vibrant appearance.
After completing the reception, Zhou Ye stepped out of the room.
As soon as he came out, he met several pairs of eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Nami, Saeko Busujima, Shizuka Marikawa, Gil, Miko, Utaha, Rika Minami, and even the two fallen angels who were still in a malfunctioning state, all stared at him with eyes that looked at a monster.
Especially Nami and Saeko Busujima.
The two of them are the closest soulmates to Zhou Ye.
Just now, they clearly felt that their boss's presence was as if it had been thrown into two stars with completely opposite properties: one was an infinite expansion of creation, and the other was an absolute collapse of decay.
That terrifying energy fluctuation almost completely shattered their mental connection.
Looking at their pale faces, Zhou Ye knew that the commotion he caused when he absorbed the [Herrscher of Life and Death Core] and the [Talking Tom Fragment] had frightened them quite a bit.
"Don't worry."
He spoke calmly, his voice revealing nothing unusual.
"I just did a small experiment on myself, and the experiment was very successful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mini mechanical dragon Draig at his feet suddenly jumped up, its metal claws scraping the floor with a screeching noise.
In its pair of emerald green mechanical eyes, data streams were frantically flooding the screen like a waterfall.
"Partner, you're insane!"
Draig's voice, filled with incredible tremor, exploded in everyone's minds.
"You actually used yourself as an experiment!"
A monster that can create things out of thin air and distort time and space at will actually use its own soul as a testing ground for two opposing powers!
What kind of minister is this if not a madman?
Zhou Ye glanced at it dismissively, his gaze as indifferent as if he were looking at a fussy country relative.
His lips twitched, revealing a matter-of-fact smile.
"You're not going to die, what's there to be afraid of?"
Chapter 140 A Test from Phoenix
Kuoh Academy was shrouded in an invisible barrier under the cover of night.
A VIP room in another dimension, created using spatial magic, is so luxurious that it would put any human emperor to shame.
Lucifer, the current Demon King of the Underworld, and Heath Ledger Phoenix, the head of the Phoenix family, are sitting side by side. On the huge magical screen in front of them, the arena for the upcoming "Ranking Game" is clearly displayed.
The atmosphere was subtle.
"Head of the Ledger family, who do you think will win this ranking game?"
Sazex spoke first, a gentle smile on his handsome face, but his crimson hair and eyes exuded an unmistakable air of authority.
"Haha, Lord Sazex is joking."
Heath Ledger Phoenix, a seasoned veteran with a refined appearance but shrewdness hidden in his eyes, let out a hearty laugh.
"Regardless of victory or defeat, it is a valuable growth experience for young people."
He picked up his glass, gently swirling the crimson liquid inside, and spoke with impeccable composure.
Sazex scoffed inwardly.
Hmph, you old fox.
Heath Ledger took a sip of his drink, his gaze seemingly unintentionally drifting to another, slightly smaller screen.
That screen showed the view from another observation room.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the friend that Miss Rias made in the human world has also come."
His tone was casual, as if he were talking about the weather.
"I think his name is... Zhou Ye? My son said he's a very interesting human who possesses a God-Slaying Gear called [End 157]."
Every word he uttered was like a carefully placed probe.
Sazex's expression remained unchanged; he simply raised his glass.
"Young people have their own destiny."
His answer was equally impeccable.
As the host, Cannashidi, announced the start of the competition, it was decided...
Meanwhile, in another viewing room.
Compared to the atmosphere of those cunning and scheming demon nobles next door, it was practically a vacation scene.
Zhou Ye crossed his legs and stuffed a potato chip into his mouth, making a crisp "crunch" sound.
Nami was holding a small notebook, rapidly calculating something while muttering to herself.
"Lady Rias's familiar lineup... one Queen Akeno, one Castle Tower Shiroe, one Knight Kiba Yuuto, one monk Aisha... and that roast chicken guy on the other side has fifteen... This odds just don't look right, boss!"
Saeko Busujima's hand never left the hilt of the knife; she leaned slightly forward, intently staring at the screen.
"That man named Raisel has unsteady steps, an unstable lower body, and is full of weaknesses."
She licked her lips, making no attempt to hide her fighting spirit.
"If it weren't for the blood of the phoenix, I could have taken his head in three strikes."
"Hmph, the blood of the phoenix?"
A mocking voice echoed in everyone's minds.
It's a miniature mechanical dragon named Draig, lying on the table like a delicate figurine.
It scratched the table with its metal claws, making a piercing noise.
