Speaking of which, Mercury Lamp has an eccentric personality and is a little stubborn and arrogant. The impression she gives others is that she is as beautiful and proud as a black rose. However, it seems that she has always been the unlucky one here.
On the first day she arrived, a chaotic battle broke out in the living room. She was completely defeated by the big boss Alaya in the second stage of the Eastern Hidden Edition. She became the target of the crazy otaku Bubble and was forced to receive a half-hour long lesson on etiquette from her big sister. In the City of Shadows, she was treated as an AI doll developed by the Empire and asked for its production number. When she opened the door, she was slammed against the wall. When she tried to fly out of her room, she crashed into an energy barrier and fell into the courtyard. Every day, she would bump into Anveena who came out from the kitchen wall at least twice when she was rushing to eat. She finally went on an outing with me and after interacting with a bunch of pork belly for a few days, she was thrown into the underground bunker of the Mars Sanctuary. She was almost forgotten and just now, she even lost her left canine tooth — — It can be said that this is the biggest loss she has suffered since coming to this fiery pit.
Unbeknownst to me, Mercury Lamp's misfortune includes:
She was buried alive by a mountain of bombs created by Little Bubble when she was doing her homework. She was nagged by the idiotic nouveau riche mother who went around flaunting her wealth. She was treated as a fashion model by Bubble in the name of visiting her daughter. She was surprised by the "friendly interactions" between Pandora and her sister. She was possessed or passed through by Anveena at midnight. Who knows if it is just a psychological effect, she has been living under her big sister's cursed halo for a long period of time.
All these lives that we have gotten used to made the pitiful little doll mentally and physically exhausted. Thinking about it, not only did I become familiar with this kind of life, I even became a part of it. It is really amazing.
"All in all, it has been hard on you in this house."
When Mercury Lamp's anger finally subsided under my swindling … consolation, but she still sat on her packaging box with a sour expression on her face, I reached out my hand to rub her head. Perhaps it was because her stamina had dropped after all that ruckus earlier, but this time, Mercury Lamp didn't knock my hand away. She simply tilted her head, and when she realized that she couldn't avoid it, she silently accepted the situation where her head was being patted.
He originally thought that she would definitely fight him to the death.
Although it was only the loss of one tooth, I, who knew Mercury Lamp's personality, clearly knew what kind of consequences it might cause. For a rose girl, that body was the greatest gift that her "father" had left for her, and she definitely wouldn't destroy it easily. There was a saying in China that the body, hair, and skin were given by one's parents. That old brat Rozen might have also searched for treasures in the Pearl River Delta region when he was traveling around the world in his early years. You can never guess the minds of scientists. Anyway, that guy engraved the words "given by one's parents" in every rose girl's little head, just like the Three Laws of Robotics. That bastard forgot to attach a waist to Mercury Lamp, but he remembered to first set the operating system to Daddy Mode. From this point, as a stay-at-home dad, I was amazed by Rozen …
Ahem, ahem, I mean, I didn't expect that she would be able to calm down so easily after damaging the Mercury Lamp's incredibly important body that was gifted to her by her "father" — even though it was only a small canine tooth — it was far too unexpected.
Could it be that my "stay-at-home dad" aura finally broke in front of Mercury Lamp?
"What have you been thinking about since the start of the game?"
The little doll girl looked at me with an unfriendly gaze, and she habitually bared her mouth, revealing the missing canine tooth. This scene was just too cute.
"And how long do you intend to touch it?"
"Ahem … I'm just touching your head," I awkwardly retracted my hand, "Don't make it sound so easy to misunderstand …"
"Ah Jun! Big sister is calling you for dinner … "
Shallow Shallow's voice came from downstairs, and it timely broke the tense atmosphere between me and Mercury Lamp. I grabbed Jingle off my shoulder and stuffed her into my pocket. I reached out to pull 92.3, but she dodged without a trace.
"I'm not going down, I'm not hungry."
The silver-haired goth loli awkwardly turned her head away, and then she couldn't help but poke the corner of her mouth with her finger, and then put her hand in her pocket.
… Was it because she was afraid of being discovered and ridiculed? As expected, she still had a girl's love for beauty, or was it because she lost half a tooth that she had lost? If it's the latter, I can give you some words of experience. Back then, when I was also 1.2 meters tall, the number of teeth I lost was 20 to 30 times more than yours. In terms of theory and practical experience, I'm very rich in the relevant aspects …
"You idiot, aren't you bored? Hurry up and get out! "
In the end, I was ridiculed by a tiny doll.
"Alright, you stay in the room, don't fly around." I knew that Mercury Lamp had the nickname of "Wall-crashing Angel" in this family, so I left her with Jingle and left the room, leaving the expressionless doll to stare at her broken tooth from time to time.
When I didn't see Mercury Lamp coming down to eat with everyone, of course, my big sister was suspicious, but no matter what, she couldn't tell Shallow Shallow about how she turned Mercury Lamp — Steel Tooth into Mercury Lamp — Broken Tooth. I could only euphemistically explain to the gossipy Shallow Shallow, "Because of me, that girl encountered something that is very embarrassing for a girl."
In all honesty, when I said that, I didn't have any dirty thoughts. Of course, after I said that, I had the same dirty thoughts as everyone else.
Under the strange gazes of all the beauties, I didn't even know how I finished the meal. My big sister began to wonder if I damaged some of my organs when I turned into an abyssal creature. Shallow Shallow almost forgot to fight over the cake with Little Bubble, and the only ones who were still eating happily were Sandora … er, and Jingle and Little Bubble, who didn't have the intelligence to understand the situation.
"I never expected that Mercury Lamp would also …"
While An Weina was clearing the dishes, the elder sister rested her chin on her hand and said with a puzzled expression.
Shallow Shallow licked the plate and muttered, "That's why Rozen is a pervert! But why did he say that it's because of Ah Jun? "
"No matter what happened, as a man, he actually asked a girl about that kind of thing and even came down to be a mouthpiece, that person is even more of a pervert!" Lin Xue said firmly.
"Ah Jun," Sandora lightly pushed my arm and said while licking her lips, "Stop biting the chopsticks, can you let me eat that?"
I … I might as well drink Sanlu and die! Can't there be a normal creature in this house?
"I say, Lin Xue, is it fine if you don't go home?"
I decided to first deal with the person who posed the greatest threat here. Perhaps Great Prophet Lin's combat strength wasn't sky-high, but when it came to tearing down others, ridiculing them, causing trouble, and especially destroying their moral integrity, she was as scary as a web novelist who had drunk twenty pounds of chicken blood. Not to mention, she was the type that could write five chapters a day.
"It's nothing," Big Miss Lin completely didn't care as she shook her head, her hair slapping Dingdang who was patrolling the table with a toothpick, "Everyone in the family knows that I'm freeloading at your place, now even the chefs don't prepare food for me."
I spat out a mouthful of stomach acid on the spot, "You really are a weirdo!"
Lin Xue, your whole family from gramps to chefs are weirdos!
In the end, I finally broke away from the group of beauties in the dining room with a tragic expression. I called Jingle who was dizzy from Lin Xue's slap and returned to the room.
The setting sun was already setting, the room without any lights on was a bit dark under the sunset glow. It was like an ancient oil painting covered in mottled yellow, as if time was frozen in the room. An abnormally petite girl was standing on top of the writing desk under the sunset. She was holding a small mirror in one hand and poking at her mouth with the other.
I didn't know if this scene should be cute or painful. Citizens of the Mercury Party, please be angry as much as you want, I am the main culprit of all this …
Hearing the sound from the door, Mercury Lamp immediately threw away the mirror in her hand and quickly flew to the window with her back facing us. She tried her best to act aloof and indifferent.
I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw her rarely show such an action.
Compared to when she first came here, Mercury Lamp had changed a lot.
In the beginning, she was so arrogant, cold, and kept everyone at arm's length. Her temper was so bad that she could go berserk and unleash a metal storm at any time. But now, although her temper hadn't changed much, she gradually gained human emotions. Even when she was angry, she tended to be more like a normal girl. She could be angry, disappointed, lonely, and most importantly, she could act spoiled — — in her unique way.
Regardless of whether it was Lin Xue's nanny aura or not, I was very happy to see such gradual changes in Mercury Lamp.
"I brought you a cake and yogurt."
I didn't expose Mercury Lamp's clumsy behavior just now and put the food on the writing desk. She immediately complained, "Why are you so obsessed with yogurt? My food always has yogurt in it! "
I was stunned, "Don't you love lactic acid bacteria?"
Mercury Lamp rushed over and punched me in the head. "Those bastards were the ones who created the second version of the game from the beginning!"
"You even know about secondary settings?" I was stunned, "Ahem, that, you …"
"That scary Bubble is a qualified otaku." Mercury Lamp jumped on the table and held a piece of cake as she muttered, "In order to collect certain things, she claimed to have scanned all the storage media of humanity, including launching satellites and using energy vacuum to detect the hard disk fragments that haven't been completely destroyed yet in the recycling factory. Then, she dragged me to share those 'treasures' with her …"
Bubble's passion for collecting otaku was really scary. But I don't think Rose Maiden was so unpopular that she needed to use energy vacuum to detect hard disk fragments in every corner of the earth. Actually, the main reason you said so much was to ridicule Bubble's collection methods, right?
"Erm," I carefully sat down next to Mercury Lamp who was eating. I heard that eating cats are especially scary. "You finished watching it and found out that you are an animated character. What are your thoughts?"
Like despair, panic, anger, fear, destroying the world, drinking Sanlu to death?
"I was quite surprised at first," Mercury Lamp didn't even turn her head. It seemed like she was really hungry, "But Bubble already told me about the world projection theory. Although I didn't really understand it, I understood most of it, so I'm not that surprised anymore. I can just treat it as a movie about someone else's life. Besides, those things are different from the real world I live in."
You're really open-minded.
"Also, what people know is only what they have experienced." After a few seconds of silence, the little doll suddenly sighed, "Maybe I should thank that scary Bubble. She showed me a side of things I never thought of before, and a lot of things …"
"Oh, is that so?" I didn't know how to respond to her sigh, so I just gave her a perfunctory reply.
Maybe this was the turning point for Mercury Lamp to start changing. My child's mother, you finally did something good.
"Stupid human," the little doll interrupted my thoughts. I turned my head and saw the other party waving the yogurt packaging in my direction, "Although your starting point is a little problematic, I found that this is really delicious. But — Next time, change it to a smaller packaging!"
Tsk, don't you know what it means to compare cuteness? Only the 'little' Mercury Lamp who is holding the 'huge' yogurt packaging is cute! Just obediently use your 92.3cm height to kill me!
Lazily leaning against the headboard, I took out Jingle from my pocket and said to the doll girl who was lying on the windowsill looking at the sunset after eating, "I want to rest for a while. Leave the cake plate on the table — — Jingle, go and play with Mercury Lamp."
The little thing agreed softly and lay on the windowsill with Mercury Lamp to admire the sun as though it was a corpse.
After calming down, I finally had the time to recall my experience of becoming a Void Creature.
That was an extremely risky attempt. Fortunately, it succeeded. However, I also realized that this skill was different from what I had imagined it to be.
After becoming a Void Creature, I naturally didn't need to think about the advantages I had after becoming a Void Creature. Other than being immune to all energy attacks, including Void Energy, I also didn't need to fear any physical attacks. Everything that came into contact with the Void would turn into Chaos and even replenish my stamina. It could be said that I was almost invincible in terms of Laws. Only Void Creatures like me or Hoodlum Gods like Icetis, who didn't fear the Void and was also a Level 99 Bastard God. I had guessed that I would have such a powerful ability to resist damage in the Void state, but it was even more overpowered than I had imagined.
In terms of attack, I was unable to use any of my usual energy skills in the Void state, including the simplest Super Dimensional Strike. But on the other hand, in the Void state, my body was my strongest weapon. A ball of high-intensity Void Energy colliding head-on could destroy any form of physical world. I didn't doubt that I would be able to pierce a hole in the Admiral of the Empire after turning into the Void state. Sacrificing attack range in exchange for cheat-like close-range combat abilities was worth it no matter how I looked at it. Perhaps this kind of attack would be ineffective against True Gods and high-level Fallen Apostles who were also immune to the Void, but other than those two perverts, I was already invincible? I could already punch through a Gospel level shield with a single punch?
Cough cough, a good child shouldn't be so daydreaming. Now was the time for tactical analysis.
There were two unexpected gains that my Void state gave me. First, a Void Domain.
I was completely unable to understand why a Void Domain would form around me after I transformed into a Void creature. Only with Sandora's assistance did I understand the general principle behind it. Perhaps it was because after losing the restraints of a normal body, the human soul's ability to disperse was at work. The physical body's separation was the standard for humans to separate their "selves." For a soul, the physical body's existence would determine its form. Although a body formed from the Void would have a form, it would be impossible for it to contain a soul. After losing the boundaries of my body, my soul was greatly dispersed. At the same time, this dispersed soul transformed everything around me into a Void Domain. This was a chain reaction. It was an unexpected gain, but an incredibly dangerous unexpected gain.
Not a single person dared to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't used up all of my spiritual energy to forcefully end my Void state and instead allowed my soul to continuously disperse.
At any rate, I definitely wouldn't have been invincible … the best result would have been my soul being destroyed, right?
How could this be called the best result? Can someone give me an analogy that's even worse than that!?
At any rate, the Void Domain was a good thing. As long as I didn't immerse myself in my fantasies of being invincible and remembered to stop in time, this Void Domain would be incredibly powerful. In the material plane, my soul might only be able to spread over several dozen square kilometers, but once these several dozen square kilometers became a Void Domain, its area would be limitless. There was no concept of distance or size in the Void, and since it was created using my own power, this Void Domain was separated from the true Void. Anyone, even a True God, would be completely unable to escape if they were enveloped by this domain.
If an enemy was enveloped by the Void Domain, especially an enemy who was strong enough to survive in the Void, what benefit would it bring me?
Icetis gave me an answer: In the Void, where no skills could be used, even the majority of Law skills, anyone would be pulled to the same level as me. Even if she was able to collapse the entire universe with a single hand in the material plane, in the Void, the only skills she could use to fight against me were Tortoise Fist … yep, and Black Tiger Steals Heart.
Damn it, I was traumatized by that female ruffian … Speaking of which, after obtaining this ability that could pull an enemy who had the absolute advantage into the same starting line as myself, was my next goal to train hard in Tortoise Fist and Black Tiger Steals Heart, and finally reach the realm of invincibility?
Wasn't being invincible a little too bitter?
If the Void Domain could still be explained with common sense, then the second unexpected benefit that the Void Domain gave me was something that even the extremely knowledgeable Sandora couldn't understand. It was something that couldn't be explained at all …
Why was the power of the Chaos within Icetis's body suppressed by my spiritual energy? So much so that she even regained her sanity?
