Chapter 1133: Chapter 874: Recruiting Easter

Is that how it is? It seems... That child will have his own destiny, so we can rest assured now. The Cyber Specter flew over, extending its metal hand to beckon the little flying dragon.

"Purlulu~" The young dragon made a sound like bubbles bursting, then turned away, clinging to its mother’s tail, refusing to move.

"It will grow to become the true king of the Netherworld," the Cyber Specter said.

"This child will achieve dark yet astonishing accomplishments, without a doubt. For now, let’s enjoy this long-lost tranquility..." Wei Shiyue coiled up her massive body.

She curled into a ball amidst the dark clouds, nurturing the Dragon Ball before her belly, continuing to draw and absorb the Power of the Afterlife World.

The death laws have been rewritten, and these ghosts will sooner or later one by one reincarnate and start new lives.

The Hollow Infant crisis and the extreme cold storm... all have ended and become history. But the curse left by Pomorty still weakens civilization’s vitality, only time can gradually fade its potency.

Before leaving, the Cyber Specter took one last look at the queue of waiting ghosts.

How peculiar.

Imagine, those parents ready to have children, hoping to raise some cute, innocent kids.

But the soul infused into the child’s body was, just a few hours ago, merely an old ghost waiting to reincarnate in the Netherworld with a gloomy face! Once this fact is revealed, it might further impact people’s expectations of childbirth.

Wei Shiyue left an open portal; the Cyber Specter left through it, returning to Mount Kuro, and quickly back to Safalai City.

The dust has settled.

After passing through the diamond-shaped passage and returning to the hangar, Xu Yang placed the Cyber Specter back into the backup warehouse for maintenance.

While others fight in the Netherworld, peace is rare in the human realm. Xu Yang understood well that Pomorty’s curse has profound effects, causing many to lose productivity and overcrowding hospitals, a curse delving into the soul, meant to drag people into the Afterlife World, beyond the reach of medicine.

Even Xu Yang felt tired and weak, his energy not as vibrant as before.

Luckily, now there are fewer enemies. Underworld Pomordy and Frost Elride have already been slain; the two great adversaries of the human realm are completely defeated, lessening many troubles.

Perhaps now is the worst time, but things will slowly get better. Xu Yang thought privately.

... Reaching the end of his energy, after this, difficult work will be hard to achieve, it seems early retirement is necessary.

Xu Yang went to see Easter.

She was lying in the ward, Farosa was able to heal Easter’s body, but Easter’s soul had also been wounded, causing her Power to diminish by the day.

"Hi!" Easter lay on the bed; though tired, she greeted Xu Yang with a happy tone.

"So, it’s over? Did you win?" Xu Yang handed fruit to Easter.

"We won!" Easter said cheerfully, "We have defeated the enemies, afterward everyone will be safe."

"That’s amazing... So, doesn’t that make you a hero who saved the world?" Xu Yang praised.

Easter smiled sweetly.

"It’s not just me but also Farosa, Yao Guang, the robots, and Sister October. We are all heroes now," Easter blinked her eyes, appearing pure and naive.

Ah, Easter is really adorable. Xu Yang admired Easter. Sweet and beautiful, her long black hair fell smoothly, her figure soft, face exquisitely charming, managing to stay optimistic and healthy under any harsh conditions.

"So you..." Xu Yang asked, "Where are you planning to go next?"

"Next?" Easter nestled into the white quilt, "Farosa hopes I will work with her."

"Not only Farosa, others will also desire your Power, Easter, Empress-level Power... many people long for it. Have you thought about whom to help? The Seven Seals... you already understand they aren’t simple, right?" Xu Yang said.

"Yes! I have thought it through carefully, I want to work with Farosa, no matter what happens I want to be with her. Before, people from the Seven Seals always told me Farosa was very evil, killing like crazy, and indifferent to life... but now seeing her, Farosa isn’t that bad," Easter said happily.

Xu Yang pondered.

"In the past, Farosa was very evil, loved to torment others, if you encounter an evil Farosa, would you oppose her?" Xu Yang asked.

"I would spend a lifetime fighting her," Easter said with a smile, uttering a terrible thing.

"But now it’s different, you can come here, even bring Xylophia back," Xu Yang said.

"Yes!" Easter said resolutely, "No one will stop me."

"Well then... sign a contract? We will ensure your pleasant life at Nestor Corporation," Xu Yang inquired.

"Then I’ll leave it to you," Easter nodded, she looked at Xu Yang carefully, "... I feel you are friendly, seem like a good person, I like working with good people."

"Then, welcome to join us, Miss Easter," Xu Yang said solemnly to Easter.

Easter smiled slightly.

Xu Yang walked out of Easter’s ward, a stone lifted from his heart.

That’s wonderful.

For a long time, having been in an adversarial or neutral relationship, Empress Easter is now finally going to officially join the Nestor Corporation.

What can stop Nestor Corporation now?

Just then, Xu Yang detected abnormal movements; it was Yao Guang and Keyshadow! Sneaking toward Easter’s ward.

Yao Guang’s Light Magic Power allows her to move at light speed, while Keyshadow’s dark magic allows her to control shadows and gather intelligence. What are they planning to do to Easter? Xu Yang frowned and positioned himself on their inevitable path.

They sensed Xu Yang’s presence and tried to bypass him, but he blocked their way.

"Move aside." Yao Guang raised her hand coldly; they knew nothing of Xu Yang.

"Corporate business, no outsiders allowed." Keyshadow took out a pass, representing the Corporate Alliance envoy, granting unfettered access worldwide with a host of automatic keys and authentication.

Xu Yang was unwell, yet he stood firm in the path leading to Easter’s room.

With her sister beside her, Yao Guang seemed to have doubled in both morale and power, standing confidently.

"Alright, move quickly! You wouldn’t want us to force you away, would you?" Yao Guang pointed forward.

"Hm?" Xu Yang frowned.

"The Alliance needs intelligence on Easter; don’t obstruct us, or you will face the most terrible consequences," Keyshadow warned.

"Yes! If you’re obstinate, watch as we sisters ’take care of’ you," Yao Guang threatened.

Xu Yang produced the Oath Certificate, making their faces change dramatically, recalling the covenant made with the Forest Master! They had been defeated by the Forest Master once but were spared, remembering this favor and unable to betray the oath. The Oath Certificate in Xu Yang’s hand was the greatest proof.

"..." Yao Guang’s expression changed rapidly, "The Oath Certificate is actually in your hand... Forest Master..."

She took a deep breath, highly astonished.

"Sister, we may abandon this oath," Keyshadow glanced at Easter’s room door.

So close, Easter was defenseless against them. As long as Keyshadow activated her magic, Easter’s intelligence would be stolen from the shadows.

Yao Guang recalled the battle with Easter in the Afterlife World, finally sighing and giving up the intention to invade Easter.

"I’m afraid not this time." Yao Guang stood sideways, "But it’s only this time. We’ve repaid this favor; it doesn’t mean we’ll always do so. If the Corporate Alliance has other plans, we’ll carry them out as usual. By then, the Oath Certificate will be useless."

Seeing the opportunity as rare, Xu Yang threw out a long-standing question.

"... Rumor has it the Key Sisters have names like ’Yao Guang’ and ’Keyshadow’ because you have the ability to unlock the Giant Tower?" Xu Yang asked.

"That’s right." Yao Guang answered without hesitation, as it wasn’t a secret; they were connected and controlled the Tower Project.

"What exactly does the Giant Tower signify?" Xu Yang asked.

"A safeguard, an incrementally failing safeguard; we are the last maintainers." Yao Guang’s eyes slightly scattered at the words, "...Alas, we sisters watch this Giant Tower fail day by day, feeling quite powerless."

The failing Giant Tower, an empty and endangered human civilization. Xu Yang pondered. Besides us, what other enemies exist?

"Then. Goodbye." Yao Guang turned her head.

"Wait—" Xu Yang suddenly said, "Let’s have a coffee together, I have questions to ask."

"No thanks," Yao Guang lacked interest.

She intended to steal Easter’s intelligence but was stalled here, seemingly unable to achieve the anticipated goal, and had no other interest.

Keyshadow and Yao Guang quickly left.

Xu Yang also walked away pensively.

Yao Guang and Keyshadow descended from the medical center, soon seeing a Cyber Specter passing through the corridor.

"Look, look—" Yao Guang raised her hand, pointing at the Cyber Specter. "That’s the super robot I told you about."

"...Is it?" Keyshadow looked up cautiously.

After a round of inspection and scrutiny by Keyshadow, she couldn’t find any flaws in the Cyber Specter. It seemed like the pinnacle of human technological power, with sturdy armor, mysterious and powerful, a swift and fierce body, equipped with an array of weaponry, its network security system flawless, a mere scan filled one with awe as if both sides’ technological prowess were on completely different levels.

"Very powerful, isn’t it?" Yao Guang nodded frequently, "It also helped a lot before in the Afterlife World, really makes one wonder what kind of person created such an advanced tech weapon man."

"It’d be great to talk to it." Keyshadow said.

"Yes... how about we try? Maybe we’ll learn more about it," Yao Guang suddenly said.

Keyshadow hid behind Yao Guang, nudging her forward, striding boldly to the Cyber Specter.

"Hello! We meet again!" Yao Guang extended her hand to the Cyber Specter.

"Hello." The Cyber Specter returned the handshake blandly.

"After that big battle... it feels really strange. I’ve fought alongside robots produced by other companies before, but you are different, seemingly faster than them, with better computing power, higher intelligence, and superior combat ability...!" Yao Guang took a moment to praise.

At the end, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

"I do not engage in idle talk," the Cyber Specter said.

What an arrogant and cold robot. Yao Guang thought to herself. Could it be Nestor Corporation’s newly developed ultimate combat power? It’s full of mysteries; if only we sisters had the chance to spend some time with it. Thinking this, she unconsciously spoke from her heart—

"Can we sit with you alone for a while? I don’t know, with so much fun in Safalai City, bars, restaurants, concert halls..." Yao Guang asked.

"Those places do not suit me; you will only encounter me in the fiercest, most perilous battles," the Cyber Specter said, "Perhaps you mistakenly thought I belong to Nestor Corporation; no, I obey no one; I am the greatest variable in this world."

The Cyber Specter left.

Yao Guang and Keyshadow watched the Cyber Specter leave, both deeply impressed by it.

This world... the greatest variable!
