Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 334 The Inside of the Imperial Scepter

I worked so hard that I lost my mind and no longer knew what I was writing.

-----------------

"Tch, so they went to patch firewall vulnerabilities?"

Black Tower chuckled, raising an eyebrow, his mockery undiminished: "No wonder that guy can only be a lowly administrator in this scepter."

With that, Black Tower turned to look at Screw Gum and asked, "How long can this access channel last?"

ScrewGumm paused for half a second, then calmly gave the answer:

"Conclusion: Based on the current progress of the firewall repair, the access channel will be completely closed in 1 minute and 32 seconds."

Is this all the time left?

Black Tower's eyes sharpened instantly, and she said in a low voice, "That's enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head sharply and looked at Lin Qiong and the others who looked bewildered.

“Listen carefully, little ones.”

Black Tower's tone suddenly became extremely serious, "Onpharos's true form is actually an imperial scepter."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know what the Emperor's Scepter is, but you must understand that any one of these scepters has the power to easily destroy an entire galaxy."

Lin Qiong frowned slightly, staring intently at the black tower before him, his face full of doubt: "So...we are currently inside that Emperor's Scepter?"

That's right.

Black Tower nodded solemnly, but then changed the subject:

"But to be honest, I still don't understand how you managed to get inside this scepter with your flesh and blood?"

"What do you mean by that?" Dan Heng couldn't help but ask.

Black Tower paused briefly, thought for half a second, and then continued to explain:

"To put it another way, if we consider Onfaros as a sophisticated computer..."

"So the towns, humans, monsters, and everything else you see are just a set of data stored in this computer."

"Imagine how a real person with flesh and blood could enter this world entirely made up of data?"

Lin Qiong pondered for two seconds, then suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at himself in astonishment: "Could it be that we were also transformed into one of the sets of data?"

Black Tower shook his head, then said, "Regarding this question, Screw and I haven't found the answer yet."

"But what is certain at present is that what Laigushi just mentioned about sending you away from Onphalus is actually a complete lie."

"Given your current special circumstances."

Black Tower deliberately slowed his speech, his tone tinged with caution: "The risks we face after leaving Onpharos are completely incalculable, so I suggest we first..."

Before she could finish speaking, ScrewGumm's steady, synthesized voice suddenly interrupted:

"Reminder: Ms. Black Tower, the access channel will be closed in fifty seconds."

"Tsk, this is really troublesome."

Black Tower's expression darkened, but he immediately changed his tune: "I'll get straight to the point, so listen carefully."

"Onfaros is currently nurturing an 'Extinction Lord,' and if this process is allowed to continue, the Extinction Lord will complete its evolution."

"The progress? Could you elaborate?" Lin Qiong asked.

"I don't know the specifics either."

Black Tower answered quickly, as if he were racing against time, "But the only thing that can be confirmed is that it is collecting some kind of specific item."

"Once all the items are collected, Onpharos's progress will automatically move forward."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong suddenly realized what the "item" the Black Tower had mentioned was—

It was the sparks of those twelve Titans!

Good heavens, so this so-called "re-creation" doesn't mean creating a completely new world, but rather "creation" the entire universe out of the universe!

Seeing Lin Qiong's expression, Hei Ta continued, "It seems you already know what the key to advancing the process is."

"Remember! Never let those items be collected! Otherwise, the Annihilation Monarch will complete his evolution, and the entire universe will face a devastating blow!"

As soon as Black Tower finished speaking, Screw Gum's mechanical voice suddenly cut in: "Thirty seconds left."

Almost simultaneously, the holographic images of the Black Tower and Screw Gum were distorted as if the signal had been interfered with.

This is clearly a sign that the firewall is being fixed.

Their signal is getting weaker!

Just then, another electronic sound, different from the Screw Gum, drifted from not far away:

"As outsiders, your every move has seriously disrupted the established trajectory of this world."

"You have rewritten too many facts that should have happened."

The electronic voice paused briefly, as if emphasizing what was about to be said.

"Now you know the truth about this world."

"This further convinces me that the only right choice is to expel you from here immediately."
