When Lan Mu first met Jeanne's Armor, she was imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison.
Later, it was stolen by the people of Backlight. After the Rose Society was incorporated, Jeanne's Armor returned to the hands of the Blue and White Society.
Because of this, Jeanne's Armor was sealed for many years, so Lan Mu used it this time.
Lan Mu had feelings for Helen, so he was reluctant to sacrifice Helen as bait.
But thinking about it carefully, the only thing that could replace Helen was Jeanne's Armor.
Back in the Rose Society, he had already replicated the hardness of Bastet's metal. What was more interesting was that this armor also had its own consciousness. Coupled with Lan Mu's external modeling algorithm, it was enough to pass off as the real thing!
It was only when Bastet entered and eroded Jeanne's consciousness that he realized it was a fake Jingu Bang!
Now, Jeanne's Armor was Dark Jeanne. Up until now, no one could resist Bastet's demonic nature except for Lan Mu. It could be considered to be sacrificed for Lan Mu's purpose.
Just now, Lan Mu had schemed against Bastet.
Bastet, who was severely lacking in information, did not expect this at all.
In order to scheme against Bastet, Lan Mu chose to sacrifice Jeanne's Armor and let it pretend to be the Jingu Bang's consciousness. It was the best bait!
From the very beginning, Lan Mu had deliberately taken out the Jingu Bang to smash the space. It looked like he was trying to open up a channel to summon the Ruins of the Abyss, but in reality, Lan Mu could have done it without the Jingu Bang.
But Lan Mu still used it because he considered the worst case scenario. If Bastet could abandon his body and change to a life host, then Lan Mu would never be able to catch him.
Instead of letting him host at will, it was better to give him a better one.
Unfortunately, Bastet was obviously not that stupid. After Lan Mu entered the Abyss, he deliberately checked the Jingu Bang and found that Bastet was not in it.
So, he transferred the Absolute Following characteristic of the pawnshop and superimposed it on the Armor of Jeanne's Armor that he had already prepared.
One had to know that the target that the pawnshop wanted to pull, even if it ran to a lower dimension, would still follow.
However, this was a passive characteristic. When superimposed on Jeanne, the form it manifested was that Bastet could no longer leave Jeanne's heart. No matter where its demonic nature went, Jeanne's heart would 'seamlessly follow'.
Bast didn't know what he had done.
Bastet would never dare to enter the Ruins of the Abyss. That place was a huge shadow for him, and he was extremely wary of it. Therefore, all the schemes that he had set up in the Ruins of the Abyss were not something that Bastet could detect.
Furthermore, Bast, who had already tasted the sweetness of Lan Mu's various heaven-defying abilities, would definitely not run away and leave the matter at that. He was definitely still secretly plotting his own abilities.
Therefore, at the Nebula Council, Lan Mu purposely said that he would kill all the creatures there, showing his resolute killing intent.
Bastet's amino-type host was too weak. Lan Mu could definitely kill him with Green Peak's Erase.
However, Lan Mu's goal was not to kill him, but to capture him. What he wanted was the power of the Kaleidoscope. How could he just erase it?
As such, Bastet naturally knew that under such circumstances, he would definitely not wait for death. He would definitely want to hide. Rather than letting him abandon his body and run away in fear … It was better to let him hide in the Jingu Bang, because that was the safest place. An indestructible body, coupled with the Shattering characteristic, was even more powerful than Bastet's metal body from before.
There was no other choice. Bastet would definitely host the Jingu Bang.
Lan Mu understood Bastet's greed.
Only the body of the Jingu Bang could make Bastet feel at ease and appear openly, because it was immune to almost all attacks.
Only a perfect bait like the Jingu Bang could successfully trap Bastet.
Unfortunately, Bastet would never have thought that it was a fake Jingu Bang …
This was almost a perfect plot, but also a lack of information. Even if Bastet had the same meticulous thinking, he would not have been able to predict it without knowing that Lan Mu could overlay information and without knowing about the pawned machine.
Now that Joan of Arc had become Dark Joan of Arc, she and Bastet were two different existences, close to a master-servant relationship.
However, this was fundamentally different from the original Dark Joshua. Bastet could no longer abandon this servant. It was equivalent to being trapped in an armor that looked like the Jingu Bang on the outside.
This master-servant relationship was like the pawned machine's' selected target '. Coupled with Absolute Follow, it tightly entangled Bastet's consciousness.
"These abilities … are the [Source] algorithm!" Bastet said gloomily.
Lan Mu nodded and said, "You know about the [Source] algorithm? This is not something that can be learned from Joshua's memories … "
Bastet was now in big trouble. He had taken a risk and obtained a body that only had the hardness of Bastet's metal body, but no other abilities.
Of course, all the abilities he had previously copied were still there, but the key was that he could no longer use the method of abandoning his body to avoid the pull of the Abyss.
His demonic consciousness could not leave Joan of Arc's thoughts, and the two were always fused together.
Furthermore … Joan of Arc was a chatterbox.
Throughout the entire process, Lan Mu did not pay any price. At most, he sacrificed an anomaly.
It was not that he did not want to directly use the pawned machine to absorb Bastet, but that was useless. The pawned machine's operation process was to select, absorb, delete, and draw the price.
Lan Mu was certain that if he were to use this thing, with his' monstrous bad luck ', the first piece of information to be extracted would be his death.
Besides, he had already taken away the delete characteristic. It was now his characteristic, so there was no reason for him to return it.
If he only absorbed and did not delete, Bastet could still escape, so there needed to be a continuous connection to trigger the follow characteristic.
It just so happened that Bastet had it himself. He had entered the depths of Joan of Arc's mind in a daze, eroded it into his own servant, and locked himself up …
As soon as he left Joan of Arc's mind, he would immediately be pulled back by the characteristic … Even if there was no process and it was useless to teleport out, Joan of Arc's mind would follow him like a maggot attached to a bone. As long as he didn't leave Joan of Arc's mind, he wouldn't be able to dispel the corrosion, nor would he be able to leave … this was an endless cycle.
"You … can create anomalies … just like that guy" Bastet was dejected.
Lan Mu asked: "Who?"
"001, you said it yourself. It is the will of the omnipotent Manager of the universe, as well as the one who created me" Bastet replied.
Lan Mu scowled and asked: "A human?"
"I don't know about its race, but it's very similar to a human" Bastet replied.
"No, you're talking about the Executors. Only the Executors have a physical body, 001 is an intangible existence that cannot be described" Lan Mu replied.
Bastet smiled bitterly: "What do you call it … is it your enemy?"
Lan Mu didn't answer and instead asked: "You said that it created you?"
Bastet spoke in a low voice: "I was born because of it. It created all of the Bastet metals, then endlessly stored all of the dimensional information on them, which gave birth to me … both your Jingu Bang and I are sentient beings that spontaneously formed"
Lan Mu coldly smirked: "There are no such things as spontaneously formed in this world, they are all created by 001. It's just that some of them follow the logic of nature, while others are created purely for the sake of appearing."
"You can say that, I've seen it before. It took out a small wooden hut and sealed me away. It wasn't easy for me to escape, I don't want to be sealed away again " Bastet had always believed that once he entered the Abyss, he would be sealed away by Lan Mu using some sort of method, not knowing that Lan Mu planned to use the Life Orb to erase his consciousness.
Lan Mu silently thought, this small wooden hut is no doubt a small hut in the forest.
"It's the one that's constantly destroying the dimensions? Is it the third dimension? "
Bastet coldly smirked: "Destroying dimensions? That's self-destruction, fine … or perhaps it's the work of the 001 you're talking about. As for the Executor, it's only a copy of its information, probably to make it easier to create a new dimension, who knows? "
"Tell me everything you know about it" Lan Mu said.
Bastet smiled: "I've already told you everything I know, that's already the best I can do"
"No … there's still a lot you haven't said … because what you've said can't explain how you know about the [Origin] algorithm" Lan Mu indifferently replied.
Bastet mocked: "Kill me, no, you can't kill me, you can only seal me away. But it doesn't matter, most of my time of existence has been spent in a seal, my past is completely dark, and I don't have many memories to begin with. Only the memories of these servants can allow me to feel the passage of time … "
It obviously knew a lot, but it didn't say anything. After all, it was Lan Mu's enemy, so why should it listen to Lan Mu?
Lan Mu continued: "Do you know how I create anomalies? By transferring absolute information and superimposing it elsewhere … in the Abyssal Ruins, I can extract your copy ability into myself, then release you at that time, you'll still be free … if you don't want to suffer eternal darkness, it's best that you tell me everything you know "
Bastet chuckled: "I really don't care, this timeline is about to be destroyed anyway …"
"What?" Lan Mu was shocked and asked: "What do you mean?"
Bastet's eerie eyes turned: "If you forcefully extract my ability, I won't tell you anything. I'm a demonic projection, it's very simple for me to forget my own memories. How about we make a deal? "
Lan Mu's expression darkened. He hated this kind of smart enemy the most. At this point, Lan Mu could easily kill him and steal the Mangekyo's power.
But he couldn't find the forgotten memories.
"Make a deal? Forget it, I don't want to know. "Lan Mu sneered and took out an alloy plate with a portal on it.
Obviously, the portal was close to the Abyssal Ruins.
Bastet's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "You're really ruthless, aren't you?"
Without another word, Lan Mu took the alloy plate and slammed it. He was only using strength that was slightly higher than Lan Mu's, plus the invincibility of the six kings. Although it wasn't enough to defeat Bastet, it was enough to stall him. Their strength was about the same, and Bastet would be easily slammed into the portal by Lan Mu.
Once they were near the Abyssal Ruins, Lan Mu would definitely be able to drag him into the Abyssal Ruins.
And so the two of them fought fiercely. This time, the scene was even more terrifying. After all, he had the Titan's power, and Sargeras's evil energy and flames had been replicated.
In order not to be closed in, Bastet kept moving nimbly, using Qigong and evil energy frequently, causing all kinds of terrifying explosions. He was like the Grim Reaper.
The surrounding amino creatures were trembling in fear. The Restarter and the demon had started fighting. This wasn't a battle they could get involved in. They immediately ran away.
But no one knew what Bastet was thinking. He kept retreating to the side of some amino creatures while fighting.
Lan Mu's face was cold. He took out the Phantom Hook and caught Bastet.
With the help of the Phantom Hook, Bastet quickly flew toward Lan Mu.
Lan Mu also went into the portal, which was the Abyssal Ruins.
"Bastard! Why do you like to rely on external objects so much! "Bastet said angrily.
Lan Mu said with a cold face, "As long as it's useful. I'm determined to get your ability, or I would've killed you long ago."
Bastet roared, "Wait a minute! If you don't listen to my terms, I'll sign the contract now! "
"I've already contacted the 001 you mentioned."
"Every contractor will have a small wish fulfilled. Don't force me!"
