He glanced around, his gaze lingering briefly on a few newcomers.
"Yasaka, Kujo, and Suzaku, since you're willing to come with me, I'll naturally protect your safety in the future, provided you obey. Obedience is the standard for survival, understand?"
"I understand."
I understand.
Zhou Ye revealed a gentle smile, with three necklaces and three rings on his palm.
"These are items that everyone who joins our family receives: the Doran's Necklace and the Doran's Ring. They are artifacts that increase the wearer's magical damage and mana regeneration rate."
With the big stick given, the sweet treat naturally follows. For Zhou Ye, who possesses the research data on Azazel and Helena's artifacts, plus his own Law of Reason and Talking Tom abilities, this kind of novice-level artificial artifact, which can be easily crafted, is not difficult; it's simply a matter of whether he wants to or not.
Yasaka, Kujo, and Suzaku exchanged a glance, then decisively picked up the necklace and ring. The moment they touched them, before even putting them on, a continuous stream of magical power emanated from them. They had seen divine artifacts or lesser divine artifacts before, but this was the first time they had ever seen an artificial divine artifact so casually displayed.
"Look closely, I will create exclusive artifacts for you all in the future, just like Rias's Ring of Destruction."
The three women were very pleased with the new promises Zhou Ye made, believing that they had made the right choice in leaving everything behind to come here.
Chapter 290 System Lottery, Handcrafting Kamen Rider Armor
Zhou Ye's words instantly replaced the slight sense of security that had just arisen in the hearts of the three women who had just received their equipment with an even stronger sense of awe.
Exclusive artifact.
That's not the cabbage growing by the roadside.
That was a top-tier treasure capable of making a family rise to power and attracting the attention of an entire pantheon.
But when this man said it, it was as easy as promising what to eat tomorrow.
Yasaka and Suzaku Himejima exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's reactions.
Their choice may be more correct than they imagined.
"Alright, that's enough chit-chat."
Rias clapped her hands, interrupting the three of them from their thoughts.
She walked up to Zhou Ye and naturally took his arm, asserting her status.
"You must have had a very fruitful trip to Kyoto this time."
"To confiscate the God-Destroying Tools like spoils of war, only you in the entire Underworld would do such a thing."
Her words were teasing, yet also contained a hint of inquiry.
She knew very well that Zhou Ye was not simply trying to show off his strength.
He must have had a deeper purpose in taking those God-Destroying Tools.
"God-Destroying Tools?"
Zhou Ye repeated the word, then chuckled softly.
"In my opinion, it's nothing more than a bunch of energy cores with special rules."
"【Black Blade Dog God】, 【Ultimate Karma】, 【Twilight Holy Lance】..."
With each name he uttered, Suzaku Himejima's body tensed up a little more.
These are all legendary items, any one of which could trigger a bloody battle.
And now, they have become this man's collection.
"Plus, the core data we obtained from the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor..."
Several wisps of energy, each containing different laws, appeared out of thin air at Zhou Ye's fingertips.
Red proliferation, white severance, black shadows, purple conceptual rewriting, gold holiness...
Five different forces intertwined at his fingertips, yet there was no conflict whatsoever; instead, they presented an eerie harmony.
"Don't you think that combining these things together could create some really interesting things?"
Zhou Ye didn't look at anyone; he was just playing with those few strands of energy on his own.
"For example... getting my own Kamen Rider armor?"
Kamen Rider?
Rias and Akeno Himejima were taken aback. The word was somewhat unfamiliar to them, but that didn't prevent them from understanding its meaning.
How to forge a set of armor using the cores of the five God Destroyers?
What a crazy, extravagant idea!
"I need some quiet time."
Zhou Ye waved his hand to dispel those few strands of energy.
He looked at Rias.
"I'm leaving this to you. Arrange their accommodations."
"Don't let anyone bother me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked straight to the training ground in the basement, which was his private workshop.
Rias watched his departing figure without asking any further questions.
She knew that a storm was brewing in his hands.
And what she had to do was to protect this home for him.
……
Underground workshop.
It was cold and empty, with only the rune lamps emitting a faint blue light.
Zhou Ye stood in the center of the workshop and closed his eyes.
The surrounding noise and interpersonal relationships are shut out.
Now, it is his time.
"system."
He meditated in his heart.
"I want to enter the lottery."
[Ding-dong, system received.]
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
A gigantic virtual roulette wheel, composed of countless data streams, appeared in his consciousness space.
The roulette wheel is filled with prizes, ranging from ordinary materials to world-changing, conceptual items.
"I will put all the gains from this trip to Kyoto into practice."
Zhou Ye issued the order.
[Confirmed deployment... God-Slaying Gear [Black Blade Dog God], [Ultimate Karma], [Twilight Holy Lance]... Deployment complete.]
[Prize pool refreshed... Start the draw!]
The roulette wheel spun wildly, and countless dazzling icons flashed past.
Zhou Ye didn't pay attention to those processes.
He simply waited quietly for the outcome.
After a few seconds.
The roulette wheel slowly came to a stop.
The pointer landed on two adjacent icons, both of which emanated a terrifying aura.
【Ding dong! 】
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a diamond-level item: The Last Fragment of Talking Tom!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a diamond-level item: the Star Core of the Star God of Breeding!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a diamond-level item: Herrscher of the End]
Three notification sounds rang out in succession.
A massive flow of information instantly flooded Zhou Ye's mind.
The first stream of information was about Talking Tom.
When the last fragment merged in, the cheat that had been assisting him in various forms finally revealed its complete form.
It is no longer simply copying or imitating.
Rather, it is an...end.
The end of all things.
The end of the concept.
God—Talking Tom.
Zhou Ye's body did not undergo any external changes.
But he could feel that the "reason" of the entire world had become clearly visible in his perception.
He can easily manipulate, modify, and even... terminate it.
The second stream of information is even more aggressive.
It was a pulsating core, as if it contained the "core" of a universe.
Breeding.
Originating from the Collapse Iron Universe, the Star Gods, targeted by concentrated attacks, were formerly known as the Insect King Taizyuros. Their concept of reproduction is closely related to "concepts." The Star Gods of reproduction control the concept of "reproduction," which they can arbitrarily alter. They can change various concepts of reproduction and replication into "producing insects," making all kinds of organisms only able to produce insects. They can even change cell division and mechanical production into producing insects. As a result, they swept through two-thirds of the universe in just a few Amber Ages, making them almost the most terrifying insect swarm in all science fiction works.
Zhou Ye is now a new breeding god; he has no interest in self-replication and self-reproduction.
"Ah."
Zhou Ye chuckled softly.
