In a very well-protected research institute.
Kihara Gensei, who looked like an ordinary kind old man, had his hands behind his back as he smiled at Yakumo, who was surrounded by enemies.
"Magician, what is your goal?"
When Eight-cloud Ink first appeared, Kihara Gensei already activated the ability reduction device. Unfortunately, it didn't work on Eight-cloud Ink.
Therefore, Kihara Gensei and his granddaughter thought that Eight-cloud Ink was also a magician.
"I'm here to kill you."
She opened the gap and bent it like a reclining chair. Then, Yakumo laid down on it and pointed the closed parasol at Kihara Gensei from afar.
"Hand over the first sample of the ability crystal, and I'll consider letting you die a quick death."
"Magician, don't be so arrogant! This is the headquarters of the scientific faction! "
Kihara Gensei's eyes, which had been squinting, opened a little.
"Sigh …"
Yakumo shook her head and sighed when she saw Kihara Gensei's reaction. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes, and an invisible spiritual wave instantly caused a violent impact on everyone present!
"Ah! Ah!! "
The armored guards that surrounded Eight-cloud Ink screamed and fell to the ground.
Kihara Gensei was heavily injured by Eight-cloud Ink during the attack. His eyes were glazed over, and his mind was completely controlled by Eight-cloud Ink.
Eight-cloud Ink's mental energy invaded Kihara Gensei's mind. After a quick scan of his memories, his face darkened.
"You're much more suitable to be a monster than me …"
From Kihara Gensei's memories, Eight-cloud Ink saw countless dark research projects in Academy City.
Among them were the mass-produced ability user project, the absolute ability user project, the Talent Workshop, and the Anbu.
What surprised Eight-cloud Ink was that Kihara Gensei was already preparing to invade the Talent Workshop to deal with Shokuhou Misaki.
"Shokuhou Misaki …?"
After reading most of Kihara Gensei's memories, Eight-cloud Ink sent out a mental pulse to completely destroy Kihara Gensei's brain.
Then, in a heavily secured room in the depths of the research facility, Eight-cloud Ink directly used brute force to break through all of the defenses and took away the first sample of the ability body crystal.

"That's great! With it, we can successfully wake up those children!"
Looking at Haruki Muyama, who was holding the first sample in both hands and crying with excitement, Eight-cloud Ink waved his hand.
"Alright, since I've given this to you, there's nothing else for me to do here."
"Wait, please wait!"
Seeing that Eight-cloud Ink was about to turn around and leave, Haruki Muyama quickly stopped him.
"Hmm? Is there anything else? "
"That … Thank you!"
Haruki Muyama pursed his lips, walked to the front of Eight-cloud Ink, and bowed deeply to thank him.
However, when she raised her head again, Eight-cloud Ink had disappeared.
Only his voice was still echoing in the laboratory.
"I said you don't need to thank me, your Fantasy Beast is already a very good gift for me."
After absorbing the Fantasy Beast's core, the Fantasy Sapling in Eight Cloud Ink's spirit sea grew a few inches. It even had an additional emerald green leaf.
"Fantasy … Beast?"
Haruki Muyama held the first sample tightly, and he finally showed a heartfelt smile.

When Eight-cloud Ink returned to the mansion, he unexpectedly found two guests.
Mercury Lamp and Miku.
"My dear, you're finally back! These two guys are here for you. "
Narako walked up and naturally held Eight-cloud Ink's arm.
Narako was sitting on the sofa with her head down and focused on playing a game.
The doll was sitting on the windowsill, holding a bottle of yogurt and drinking it.
Miku was holding a green onion and sitting on the sofa nervously. When she saw Eight-cloud Ink return, her beautiful green eyes lit up.
"How did you find this place?"
Sitting on the sofa, Eight-cloud Ink took a cup of black tea from the gap, crossed his legs, and looked at Miku and Mercury Lamp opposite him.
"Hmph, as Father's favorite doll, it's easy to find someone!"
The doll turned her head, closed her eyes, and snorted.
Ignoring Mercury Lamp, Eight-cloud Ink looked directly at Miku.
From their expressions, it should be Miku, not Mercury Lamp, who was looking for him this time.
Sure enough, Miku first bowed to Eight-cloud Ink, and then said, "That, Brother Yakumo, when we first met, did you ask me if I felt a strange power from the fans?"
Eight-cloud Ink was stunned, did Miku already sense the belief of the fans?
"That's right, what's wrong?"
Eight-cloud Ink's expression did not change, and he still lowered his head to taste the black tea.
Miku hesitated for a while and finally said, "Actually, I've been very concerned about this matter ever since. Because every time after the concert, I'll feel very comfortable. In addition, the most important thing is that after every concert, Sister Tianyi's body will feel better."
Sister Tianyi!?
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly looked up at Miku.
"Tianyi? Luo Tianyi? "
"Brother Yakumo, do you know Sister Tianyi?"
"I've heard of her in other worlds."
Miku nodded. After transmigrating, Miku more or less understood the flow of information between worlds.
"Sister Tianyi came to this world with me, but I don't know why, Sister Tianyi's body is very weak, and she's in a coma most of the time —"
Miku's expression was a little sad.
"— I've looked for many doctors, but they couldn't do anything. Later, I found that as long as I hold a concert and Sister Tianyi is near the concert, she can stay awake for a short period of time, and can even move freely for a period of time. "
"That's why I keep holding concerts, trying to find a way to cure Sister Tianyi."
Miku looked up at Eight-cloud Ink, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Brother Yakumo, you said that there's a strange power in the fans, do you know anything about it? Do you have a way to save Sister Tianyi? "
"I need to see it for myself to know."
Eight-cloud Ink put the black tea on the table, and looked at Miku opposite him.
"As for the power in the fans, it's actually similar to the power of faith that comes from the heart of an ordinary believer towards the god they believe in."
"Faith?"
Everyone looked over curiously.
"Miku, you're very popular, and this popularity doesn't refer to your popularity among fans in this world, but your popularity in other worlds."
Speaking of this, Eight-cloud Ink suddenly laughed.
"Just like many worlds have various works about Fantasyland, some worlds also have various derivative works about you, Miku. At the same time, you've gathered a group of fans from all over the world. The fanaticism of fans from all over the world far surpasses the limit of power that can be generated by the fans of some celebrities who are only famous in this world."
"When this power is gathered, it becomes similar to the power of faith, and when you hold concerts, it will maximize the fanaticism of your fans and turn it into faith."
"It's because you didn't know this that you've been unconsciously absorbing this power, otherwise, you would've already become a god like some of the gods in Fantasyland."
"Become a god!?"
Miku exclaimed.
She always thought that she was just an ordinary singer.
She actually became a god because of the fanaticism of her fans?
The impact of this news was too great for Miku.
"Don't be so optimistic."
Eight-cloud Ink rolled his eyes.
"A god that ignites the divine fire because of the gathering of faith, once they lose their faith, they'll lose their power and disappear. In other words, Miku, if you really use this power of faith to become a god, if one day those fans no longer worship you, you'll be in danger."
"At the same time, no matter how much the fans worship you, in their eyes, you're just an ordinary singer, so this faith can't bring you much power."
"This is the biggest limitation of becoming a god by relying on faith."
Eight-cloud Ink chuckled.
"Then, then I'll just be an ordinary singer …"
Miku looked down at the green onion in her hand and finally sighed.
"However, the most important thing is sister Tianyi. Yakumo gege, can you come with me to see her?"
"No problem, lead the way."
