Chapter 996: It Turns Out the Ninth-Level Expert Is Like This (Two-in-One)

They are indeed super nesting dolls, prepared for any eventuality.

They even provided super protection for their very bloodline, which then had to be channeled through a quantum combat body's doppelganger to create a second-generation pirated clone of the "small TV."

"Are you really going to expose the Incense System?"

"It's fine. It would be truly foolish to be so stingy and treat such high-level beings as idiots."

"There's no need to be afraid at all; the pirated small TVs are actually part of our plan."

"Yes, as television towers, we use the authentic small TV bodies in our own world, but for the outside world... we can only use pirated small TVs! That is, the quantum doppelgangers of the authentic small TVs!"

"And the small TV has a very powerful characteristic: the alchemical plug-ins installed in it, along with the small TV combat body doppelgangers they generate through entanglement, also possess corresponding bloodline plug-ins."

This brings us to the characteristics of the quantum combat body.

The quantum combat body itself is a unique and powerful doppelganger.

It's described as creating a "quantum resonant" parallel self.

Naturally, the quantum combat body also possesses most of the bloodline and genetic abilities of the main body.

However, some bloodline abilities cannot be used, just as Xu Zhi's doppelganger cannot use the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art or create internal space.

The quantum combat body also cannot use the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art.

Nevertheless, the combat body can still inherit most of the main body's bloodline.

But what about external objects not part of the main body?

Alchemical plug-ins, when inserted into the body, are equivalent to "magic treasures." This system only creates one's own quantum doppelganger; it can't possibly create doppelgangers of magic treasures as well, can it?

Naturally, one's own quantum doppelganger cannot generate a corresponding alchemical plug-in through entanglement.

But the small TV is different.

Because it's crafted from the same alchemical material, once a plug-in is inserted, it's virtually considered part of the body, allowing it to also generate corresponding alchemical plug-ins within its quantum combat body through entanglement.

"This point is crucial... After all, only if the small TV's quantum doppelganger can generate the plug-ins on its body through entanglement can it possess most of the main body's functions and achieve wider, large-scale dissemination."

"Currently, our authentic small TV bodies are hidden with us, while the pirated small TVs, which are quantum doppelgangers, are sold externally to form a network."

They plan to sell quantum doppelganger TVs.

Selling the authentic small TV bodies?

Even cloned small TVs don't feel very safe!

Small TVs are living beings, a precious resource. If they are destroyed by the opponent, it would be a huge loss!

However, the small TV's doppelganger can escape at any time and is not afraid of being destroyed!

Just like Bikyu in front of them.

If it were the main body, would it dare to do this?

"By the way, should we grant them access to the TV's permissions, various TV channels, and various trading platforms?"

"How could we? Just expose a little bit, like an Incense function, that's enough. The quantum combat body's functions can't be used anyway, because it's a doppelganger TV; only the main TV can perform that function..."

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Who controls this small TV, Bikyu?

One must know that only god-level beings can generate quantum combat bodies. This TV is also god-level, and god-level small TVs are extremely rare.

Right now, Bikyu is Akina Mountain Speed's girlfriend!

This girl controls the "small TV" race.

At this moment, everyone has realized that possessing this TV is an incredibly heaven-defying opportunity.

"Ugh, that Akina Mountain Speed guy is insufferable! Does he need another girlfriend?"

"What about a man? I'm also very good at being augmented with alchemical plug-ins..."

"Hmph, what are you all arguing about! It's not the small TV itself that's powerful; it's Akina Mountain Speed's alchemical factory that's powerful... The small TV is just a relay. Everything relies on the alchemical plug-ins, which are the alchemical factory's bloodline abilities—they're truly outrageous!"

"Yes, it's all controlled by a certain individual behind the scenes. Without that person's supply, the small TV is just a super piece of junk."

"But I'd be content just being a small TV. Working is impossible; I'd rather just rely on others to live. I also want to be augmented with alchemical plug-ins..."

Everyone's face darkened.

Why did a bunch of show-offs suddenly pop up here begging to be sponsored?

"Shameless scoundrels!"

"Akina Mountain Speed is disgusting!"

"Our adorable Meng Mei is still the cutest, kindest, and most righteous!"

Someone immediately spoke up. After all, if you're asking to be kept, shouldn't it be by an adorable girl? The truly good life is having a beautiful girl accompany a rich woman.

At this very moment.

"Becoming a magical girl is, of course, feasible."

At this point, Bikyu still seriously explained, "Every magical girl must sign a contract and have a magical pet... The magical girl's power actually comes from the empowerment of the magical pet behind her, which provides her with a special energy channel."

"You didn't lie to me."

Yuan Yuan's expression softened completely. He looked at the little rabbit-eared creature, "I can see that the magical girl's power comes from the pet behind her. You are a massive emotion collector, gathering ambient emotions through your two rabbit ears... and transforming them into a special power that supplies the magical girl."

"This power can be called faith, or it can be called incense. While consuming human incense... you must also protect humanity," Bikyu replied. "And although we are called magical pets, our race's true name is Incubator (インキュベーター)."

Incubator?

Consuming human incense, do they also have to protect the surrounding mortals?

Yuan Yuan's expression became calm. It was indeed just as he had thought.

It was the "bloodline" of the magical pet behind her that empowered the magical girl, not the magical girl's own bloodline.

Yuan Yuan smiled broadly, "So, what is the range of an Incubator's emotional absorption?"

"The actual range depends on our current realm... The higher our realm, the wider the area we can cover and absorb," Bikyu replied. "I am currently at the god-level realm, so covering an entire continent is no problem. I can extend the range further, but the efficiency decreases with distance..."

At this moment, Yuan Yuan nodded and looked at Viola and Bikyu. "You two have a complementary relationship. I will help you advance your realm and protect you, and in return, you will empower me with your bloodline, allowing me to gain immense strength... You are a cosmic race that thrives by relying on the strong."

The small TV, equipped with a dragon's pulse, is a dragon's pulse signal tower.

The actual range of incense collection would certainly be far less than that of the ancient world, where massive trees are rooted and dragon veins spread across the land.

However, this is considered the third level of weakening.

Perhaps, at this point, it only possesses two layers of the original dragon's pulse's power.

But it's not without benefits; it's relatively convenient, like carrying an incense tower with you.

"So, you said the actual number of spots is less than ten..." Yuan Yuan asked.

"Yes, our race has fewer than ten members left...," Bikyu said. "Currently, fewer than ten Incubators can sign contracts with magical girls."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan's gaze softened. "You are very candid; you've indeed told me all the information... It seems we can truly establish a cooperative relationship!"

The other party's bloodline and secrets were indeed completely exposed.

Even if there were concealments, they likely wouldn't be extensive. In his view, at least eighty percent had been revealed:

The system's principles,modes of coexistence,the race's current state.

His vision was very broad, and after more than 300,000 years, he was naturally knowledgeable. The other party had indeed not deceived him; the magical girl civilization system was truly laid bare.

From this perspective, this civilization indeed already trusted him.

After all, this civilization existed by relying on the strong.

"So, I'll take three of your kin first, is that alright? As for compensation, I won't go back on my word." Yuan Yuan thought for a moment, "I don't want the most talented clan members; I want those ranked fourth to seventh in talent."

Bikyu smiled and said, "For the three Great Heavenly Venerates?"

Yuan Yuan nodded and said lightly, "Since I've chosen to protect you, I'll give you your first lesson now... If I take three now, it will already cause dissatisfaction among the entire Supreme Council. However, the benefits are great enough that I can bear the repercussions of offending them... But if I were to take the three strongest ones... the three Great Heavenly Venerates would be completely displeased, and that would be disastrous."

Bikyu was slightly startled.

Sure enough, beings of this level were already as shrewd as old foxes.

Offending other members of the council was acceptable, but one should not go too far; the best must be left for the three Great Heavenly Venerates.

"So, three then..."

Bikyu took a deep breath. Three doppelgangers of the TV, disguised as cute small animals—a cute little black ball with big, round eyes, a small cat, and a small flying fish—appeared before them. "Actually, we currently only have four adult clan members; the remaining few are still underage..."

In other words, they haven't broken through to the god-level realm and thus cannot generate quantum doppelgangers.

"That's enough," Yuan Yuan said, turning to his two dao companions beside him. "You two should try practicing first; go ahead and sign contracts with these two."

His two dao companions' eyes gleamed with fervent excitement.

This was an enormous opportunity!

It was an immense, super opportunity, even for them, two perfect Dao Foundation Ninth-rankers who were at the bottom of the council!

Even the truly powerful, top ten forbidden council members didn't have the chance to become such powerful magical girls!

Their eyes were filled with brilliance, and they couldn't help but ask, "By the way, regarding absorbing people's adoration and hope, those lines and dances, should the two of us really..."

They both felt very awkward.

Those lines, that rhetoric, and that attire...

"No need to change them for now."

Yuan Yuan, with a serious and earnest expression, chuckled, "After all, this is a mature cultivation method left by the magical girl civilization. You two should first practice according to it... Use this to explore and pave the way for me. Later, when it's my turn to cultivate, we can research how to modify it."

The two exchanged glances, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.

How could they not know...

Once an image is established, it's very difficult to change.

First impressions are crucial.

It's like if you adopt a pure and innocent image; once that image is ingrained in the minds of the masses, it's almost impossible to change it without causing faith confusion and self-destruction.

"Then we'll sign the contracts," neither of them dared to refute.

Bikyu suddenly spoke, "Each magical girl's image will form different characteristic abilities based on the impressions of sentient beings. For example, Viola's ability is mental induction; through language, she can destabilize an opponent's mind... even assimilate and subjugate them."

After all, every evil entity has its own unique abilities.

Just like Bai Xiaosheng, Dream God, and Xiao Wei at that time.

"I see," Yuan Yuan's expression became completely gentle. The other party had told him such fundamental secrets, showing sufficient trust and reliance.

And no wonder others fighting Viola would become unsettled by her words, even fleeing. When so many people wept in the plaza and were moved by her, it was her ability at work.

"This civilization indeed involves the Ninth-rank path of twisted laws," he chuckled, looking at Bikyu. "So, do we have any choices for magical girl legacies?"

*Whoosh.*

"There are certainly many legacies," Bikyu said as spectral images appeared before her eyes, showing several magical girls' appearances and data.

"This is Sailor Moon, the Magical Girl of the Moon; her ability's characteristic is moonlight..."

"This is Yan Lili, the Magical Girl of Balala; her ability's characteristic is dancing..."

One by one, the impressions of the magical girl legacies appeared before them, complete with attire, lines, and data.

Clearly, they were well-prepared for a major operation.

All the awkward lines were perfectly designed, and the movements were meticulously choreographed, utterly beautiful.

Yuan Yuan watched with a serious expression, pondering for a long time, then said, "You two choose these two then; I think their abilities are excellent."

"Then, then we'll sign the contracts..." The two exchanged glances.

"Go on," Yuan Yuan replied. "After signing the contract, you can temporarily try transforming to see what the image is like. After all, this is a test of potential."

Half a day later, they collected some wish power and began to transform.

*Whoosh—*

With their two small pets following behind and golden spotlights shining, two powerful Ninth-rank beings with perfected Dao Foundations quickly transformed.

They were resplendent, vibrant with dazzling colors.

A beautiful girl emerged, wearing a short skirt. "Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Banish this world! By the blood covenant, I summon thee, Graceful Magical Girl, transform!!"

*Whoosh.*

Pink radiance shone brightly.

A stunningly beautiful and serene ice-sealed girl stepped out. "Be consumed by frozen flames! You have but one cause for defeat: becoming my enemy! Iceheart Magical Girl, transform!"

In the training ground, Yuan Yuan watched from the side.

He was very calm, seemingly quite satisfied, and despite it being merely superficial with no actual combat power, he wore an expression of amazement at the visual effect.

At the same time, he was deducing whether this image could be popularized among the masses and if its effect would be good.

"The attire and poses are perfectly fine, very graceful, delicate, and refined... But the dialogue is still very awkward; it needs to be revised to be more concise," Yuan Yuan commented.

The attire and movements are fine? Just change the lines?

Further away, Bikyu was somewhat stunned.

In front of the TV, the players were also dumbfounded.

"At first, we just wanted to trick them into transforming into magical girls, but they saw through it immediately. Yet now?!"

They had thought their goal was impossible to achieve, yet to their surprise, not only did it succeed, but it succeeded beyond expectation—two Ninth-rank beings with perfected Dao Foundations...

These were Ninth-rank existences with perfected Dao Foundations!

They actually transformed into magical girls?

They watched the scene on the TV, glued to their screens.

"This scene is so moving; the magical girl cause finally has successors. Just thinking about it makes my tears—wait, that's drool—flow uncontrollably from my mouth."

Some girls were very shocked,

"Old pervert! (Darn it!)"

"I can't believe even beings of this caliber...!?"

But others ignored them and continued their discussion,

"I bet something big will happen tonight. I wonder if they'll bring these two 'small TVs' to flutter around the room and give us guys an eye-opening spectacle (dumbfounded)."

"Hahaha, so this big shot is one of us after all! Should've said so earlier! We went through all that trouble with various schemes, if only we'd known it wouldn't be so complicated!"

Men, they're all like that.

Meng Mei watched this scene, also feeling speechless. They all liked these transforming girls, with their various lines, beautiful outfits, and movements.

However, she had a sudden bold idea.

The Creator God had always been calm and peaceful. Should she try to research this kind of routine next time, and suddenly transform, to see if there would be a special reaction?

"Cough, cough, cough, what on earth am I thinking?"

Meng Mei couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, thinking she must be crazy. "But perhaps Caroline would be suitable, maybe the Ancient God would like it?"

Meng Mei naturally knew Caroline's thoughts, and as a best friend, she still had to offer some advice. She couldn't resist contacting Caroline by transmitting a message.

"What is this fellow talking about? This is too awkward," Caroline was also watching TV at the moment. Hearing Meng Mei's wild idea, her expression became somewhat unreadable.
