Chapter 937: Chapter 750: The Strongest Reality Manipulator

```

Huang Feng, originally named Anna Genegute, was born in the Rhine Region and is now 20 years old. To heal, she reverted to a child-like physical state and now resembles a 9-year-old girl.

Her ability is to "Command Reality." When she was a youngling, she could only speak five words. Now as a Lower-rank Witch, she can speak six words.

Farosa wants to tap into Huang Feng’s potential, just like drilling for oil.

"I need Huang Feng to serve me, I want her to Command Reality," Farosa said to Xu Yang over the dining table.

"She won’t listen to you."

"Do you think that’s a problem for me?" Farosa said calmly.

"Of course, it’s not a problem for you, but it is for ’me.’ I’ll try to talk to her myself, please take action after I’ve made contact with her." Xu Yang persuaded Farosa.

"...It’s better to keep Huang Feng in line," Farosa remarked.

"Huang Feng? What kind of animal friend?" Xu Cheng asked.

"She’s a Little Witch, you can invite her to play if you’re free," Xu Yang said.

"That’s great!" Xu Cheng looked forward to the new playmate.

The next day, to discuss Huang Feng’s future development, Xu Yang drove the Shuttle Machine back to Nestor Headquarters.

A40 and Huang Feng lived in a room in the headquarters’ residential area. A40 had gone to work, leaving Huang Feng to greet Xu Yang at the door.

Huang Feng was only 1.38 meters tall, wearing a brown nightgown with check-patterned wool slippers and merely a brown belt tied around her waist.

"Come in," Huang Feng said lazily, seating herself by a glass table, "You can make yourself a cup of tea or something. I am not hospitable and never have been—it’s not personal against you."

Xu Yang walked over to a stainless steel automatic teapot, capable of brewing a variety of drinks from black tea, oolong tea, to green tea and bearing the Nestor Corporation logo.

The production lines of Nestor Corporation became increasingly integrated, capable of providing almost everything local people need from birth to the grave.

"It was supposed to be Farosa who talked to you," Xu Yang spoke as he stood in the living room with a cup of tea, "but I am well aware that there would be a massive conflict between Farosa and you."

"Because she’s a so-called ’Witch Goddess’ with an intense desire for control, and I find her methods most disagreeable," Huang Feng said with disdain, "You seem pretty aware, saving both parties the trouble."

"Just by attempting to unlock your genetic code, we could pull out your Restrictor and let you once again become a powerful Reality Manipulator," Xu Yang said.

A powerful spear-shaped Restrictor remained implanted in Huang Feng’s chest, continuously emitting a "poison" to seal her Magic Power. Only specific individuals could remove the Restrictor. It was one of the ancient artifacts unearthed by Black Fire Innovation that could block any magical influence on it and also seal Magic Power.

Only Huang Feng’s custodian, Rolo, could unlock this bondage. Xu Yang thought secretly. But according to Black Fire Innovation’s information, the Restrictor could similarly be taken out after proper decryption work.

As a veteran of the Invisible Imperial Guard, Rolo became the commander of the surviving Blackfire troops. He fled from the Taiya Archipelago, formed the Wandering Legion, and secretly continued the affairs of Blackfire in some corner of the world.

```

"Power..." Huang Feng glanced at the Restrictor, "Do you think I enjoy that sort of thing? To grasp immense Power, then be captured, manipulated like a tool, do you think I like that?"

Her voice grew increasingly hostile.

"I know you’re reluctant, but we really need your ’Command Reality’ Magic Power’s support," Xu Yang said.

"I haven’t spoken for two years," Huang Feng threatened, "If you force me, I’ll use my Magic Power to destroy my own tongue."

Xu Yang was very clear about Huang Feng’s resoluteness.

To avoid becoming a corporate slave, Huang Feng had used countless ways to debase herself; willingly contracting cancer, deliberately becoming addicted to stamps, muddling her own brain, turning into a madwoman.

Farosa yearned to reshape Huang Feng back into Farosa’s weapon. If Huang Feng remained uncooperative, Farosa would definitely be intensely dissatisfied, leading to a series of negative consequences. Xu Yang was well aware of this.

He tried his best to persuade Huang Feng.

"Although Black Fire Innovation was defeated, we are now facing other formidable enemies. The current world situation seems stable, but we are actually on the brink of a major war, and we might encounter an unstoppable catastrophe. When that happens, I’m afraid your and A40’s peaceful life will also be destroyed. We will definitely respect yours and A40’s opinions, and we hope you will consider rejoining the combat sequence to help the Nestor Corporation," Xu Yang said patiently.

In Huang Feng’s eyes, the words spoken by Xu Yang seemed sincere.

The Nestor Corporation is not invincible; they need Huang Feng’s support. The Western Seaboard Treaty Organization surpasses the Nestor Corporation in all aspects. The pact is a major transcontinental alliance of world-renowned companies, with much greater strength than Black Fire Innovation on its own.

"Have you already researched what use I can be?" Huang Feng demanded.

"Yes. You can alter reality, just as how Black Fire Innovation used you to manipulate the financial markets in the past. With just one word, you can change a certain stock’s ’rise’ or ’fall’. We’ve found their records; we know their Funds were accumulated through such means. This can also be used to severely damage the West Coast Pact, breaking their financial dominance," Xu Yang said.

"They plunge, they soar sharply," Huang Feng muttered, "All under my command."

"With your words, you can turn people into your puppets and ’fabricate news’ at will. You can turn a ton of rocks into a ton of Gold, a small apartment into a mansion, protect someone from death, declare ownership of resources, resurrection and full healing in the truest sense, even stronger than the Law of Recovery. You could even traverse time and space through Command Reality... These are all powers we desperately need and would definitely change the course of battle," Xu Yang said.

Nestor Corporation inherited the research from Black Fire Innovation and understood some tricks of applying Huang Feng’s abilities. As the strongest Reality Manipulator, the world forms itself according to her will.

Her weakness lies in her inability to interfere with divinity and things protected by divinity, hence Command Reality does not work on Farosa or Ancient Gods.

As for regular human society, it still does get deeply affected by Huang Feng.

So far, her displayed commands like "Armor turn into water," "A40 must win," "Men turn into women," "Yokozuna melts," all pass through "subjective intentions" to lock onto a target. That is, she can narrow it down to an individual or broaden it to cover all entities referred to by a concept.

Therefore, Huang Feng is still very dangerous. Once she speaks carelessly or if her thoughts stray even slightly, it could potentially return human society to zero and risk annihilation.

Xu Yang must ensure that Huang Feng joins them peacefully and exercises restraint in using her power.

Therefore, he approached the negotiation with Huang Feng with utmost caution.

Huang Feng silently pondered the possibilities.

...If she continued to fight, wouldn’t she be returning to a state of being at others’ beck and call?

Ever since birth, I’ve tried escaping the fate of being enslaved; is it all going to end like this, returning to the origin of my destiny? Although Nestor Corporation is a million times better than Blackfire Innovation, I don’t feel optimistic about this future.

The world-renowned Reality Manipulator, Eve Anak, destroyed the rule of Witches by "removing the Magic Power from Witches," and her own fate was to have her tongue cut out and spend the rest of her life in a cultivation chamber.

So, what astonishing words will I speak, and what tragic ending will I encounter?

Huang Feng doesn’t want to serve anyone, nor does she want to speak for others.

She glances at Xu Yang, silent.

Xu Yang thus understood Huang Feng’s decision; he couldn’t force Huang Feng into servitude either.

If he were to oppress and persecute Huang Feng like other companies, it would just cause her to lash out and collapse once again.

"If you change your mind, please contact me." Xu Yang puts down his teacup and takes his leave.

"No need to see you out." Huang Feng doesn’t turn her head.

In the evening, A40 gets off work and returns.

"Anna!" A40 calls out Huang Feng’s real name.

"You’re finally back." Huang Feng leans on the sofa, supporting her head with one hand, "Have you been very busy recently?"

"Wow, not at all; just doing reports and paperwork. Winter is coming, each day is colder than the last, you better stay well at headquarters and don’t run around. Come, let’s have dinner!" A40 brings back a lunchbox.

The lunchbox from the headquarters’ cafeteria has half a grilled saury, slices of pineapple, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, boiled eggs, shrimp, and rice sprinkled with crushed seaweed—enough for Huang Feng to have a hearty meal.

She listlessly pushes around the food in the bowl with iron chopsticks.

"If I could earn a lot of money, we could buy better food, but for now we only have these free lunchboxes, sorry!" A40 apologizes to Huang Feng.

"The food doesn’t matter. I’m just... Reports and paperwork? When did you start doing that?" Huang Feng looks up.

"I found out office work pays a bit more, plus fighting might cause me to lose parts, and repairs cost money," A40 says.

"You’re speaking like a typical corporate drone now, what happened to your dream of becoming a martial arts master?" Huang Feng asks in a low voice.

"The gap is too big. Quantum Warriors have already been perfected by the research department, and A999 has the full support of Taro Tanaka, while I’m just working a job! The likelihood of surpassing those two has dwindled to an impossibility," A40 says.

"You..." Huang Feng puts down her chopsticks.

"What?" A40 asks, puzzled.

"Why are you saying ’impossible’? The past you would never say ’impossible’, even if the enemy was formidable you would still want to fight. Why are you starting to talk this impossible nonsense now!" Huang Feng gets angry.

Though Huang Feng is small, she speaks very sharp words, leaving A40 at a loss.

"But now I need money to become stronger, to have reserves of technology for modifications, and to acquire powerful weapons—all of which are out of reach." A40 quickly calculates his reasons.

A40 is already far behind others, and the gap is still widening.

Its only daily routine is to punch in for work and then come home to see Huang Feng. Isn’t this A40’s happiness?

"You’ve changed a lot," Huang Feng says sarcastically.

"Of course, I’ve changed because I am a third-generation AI, meant to keep learning and changing," A40 argues, feeling wronged.

"What, you can’t pick up a sword anymore?"

"Pick up a sword for what." A40 doesn’t understand why Huang Feng is saying all this.

Huang Feng is filled with a multitude of emotions.

She really wants to curse and beat A40, but she knows this metal skin would only take a beating, crouch in a corner to reflect all night, then head to work the next day as if nothing mattered, leaving Huang Feng feeling as if her fury has no place to go.

"Ohhh—" Huang Feng puts down her chopsticks, covering her face with her hands, "It’s me who turned you into this. Because of these trivial matters, to support me, you’ve become a wimpy robot and go to write your damn... paperwork! Dammit, you’re really useless!"

"I don’t know." A40’s language database couldn’t find suitable dialogue for the situation.

It fears Huang Feng’s breakdown more than being defeated itself. And Huang Feng is already falling apart.

"You don’t want to fight because you want to come back to see me. Ever since you had me, you’ve been too scared to fight," Huang Feng yells.

She stares into A40’s eyes, pale as paper.

"Isn’t that good?" A40’s voice is deep and hoarse.

"Quit your job, go train, find a way to beat the Quantum Warriors and A999. In my presence, you’ve become more cowardly by the day," Huang Feng says through clenched teeth, her anger causing her to knock the food onto the table!

"Why should I?" A40 judges that it is destined to lose, blocking off the possibility of action.

"I love you—I love you because you’re different from other robots, those robots that follow worthless programs and circuit commands, they are just garbage, they will never know about love or being loved—but you! You had confidence, you once had confidence, so you’re not the same as those circuit junks, where did your confidence go?" Huang Feng berates.

"My God." A40 stands up honestly, turns, and leaves the house.

Why can’t we just enjoy a peaceful hermit life? To regain Huang Feng’s respect, it seems I have to find ways to deal with these two powerful enemies.

Huang Feng watches A40 leave, her heart aching like it’s being cut by knives, her hands clenching and unclenching.

I don’t hope, don’t hope that it’s because of me you’ve become so weak—

If I can’t turn you back into a warrior, I’d rather die right now.
