Chapter 23 Screw Gum
In the lab, Heita was anxiously shaking him, gripping his shoulders: "Hey! Chen Feng! Wake up! What's wrong? Talk to me! Is there something wrong with Galaxy Star?"
"Stop shaking it, you're practically shaking my brain to its core."
Chen Feng snapped out of his reverie and met Black Tower's pair of purple eyes, which were filled with worry and inquiry.
Seeing that Chen Feng finally reacted, Hei Ta breathed a sigh of relief.
"What... happened to you just now?" Black Tower's voice carried a hint of tension that was barely perceptible.
"Your vital signs and energy readings suddenly fluctuated violently, then subsided instantly, like... like your consciousness was pulled out for a few seconds! What about the Galaxy Star? What did it do inside you?"
Chen Feng blinked, feeling the gentle yet powerful current in his chest containing the vast energy of the stars, and the profound perception of "spiritual awakening" in his mind.
He grinned, and that signature relaxed smile that Black Tower both loved and hated returned to his face.
"Relax, relax, Ms. Black Tower, calm down." He even patted his chest leisurely. "Galaxy Star? It's part of my body now, that's great. As for what happened just now..."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, watching Black Tower's anxious yet feigned composure, which greatly satisfied his wicked sense of humor. "I chatted with Galaxy Star's 'original customer service' for a while."
"Original manufacturer customer service?" Black Tower frowned, his genius mind racing. "You mean... the will of the creator of that universe, the supreme god Ottoman?"
"Bingo!" Chen Feng snapped his fingers. "As expected of a genius, he gets it right away. Old Master Otan was quite polite; he not only confirmed that the 'after-sales ownership' of Galaxy Star belonged to me, but also gave me a 'little gift' as a bonus."
"A little gift? What is it?" Black Tower's curiosity was instantly ignited, and he leaned forward slightly, almost touching Chen Feng.
She desperately wanted to know the form of power of another supreme being in the universe.
"Well..." Chen Feng looked around the laboratory, his gaze finally landing on an inconspicuous metal trash can in the corner.
It was a standard space station recycling bin, with a silver-gray exterior and a recyclable material label printed on it; it was cold, quiet, and lifeless.
A playful smile curved his lips as he pointed to the trash can: "Here, that's it."
Hei Ta followed his finger, looking completely bewildered: "Trash can? What do you mean?"
"Watch closely, Ms. Black Tower, witness the moment of miracle!" Chen Feng's smile faded, and his eyes became focused.
He mobilized the "spiritual awakening" power within him, which originated from Otan. With a slight thought, he gently wrapped a faint but powerful energy containing the intention of "granting spiritual knowledge" around the cold metal object like an invisible thread.
hum...
A faint, almost imperceptible ripple of energy spread across the surface of the trash can, like a tiny pebble dropped into calm water.
Then, something happened that made the Black Tower's pupils suddenly contract!
The once lifeless metal trash can suddenly developed several cracks on its smooth exterior, which connected with each other, as if it were being turned into a jigsaw puzzle.
Then a blue light suddenly burst forth.
A few seconds later, the light faded, and the trash can remained there, as if nothing had changed.
But they couldn't pretend they hadn't seen what had just happened, so Black Tower immediately turned his attention to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng noticed Black Tower's gaze, coughed lightly, and said to the trash can, "Transform."
"Yes, Father God!" A childish, mechanical voice came from inside the trash can.
The next second, the trash can leaped into the air, transformed wildly in mid-air, and then turned into a silver robot.
"Omnics?" Looking at the black tower in the trash can, he was quite surprised. Screw Goom was an omnic, but the omnic race in the universe now all came from the original Emperor Rupert.
After the Imperial War ended and Emperor Rupert was killed, the Omnic race lost the ability to be reborn. Now, watching Chen Feng create an Omnic so easily, Black Tower was truly incredulous.
"You've become the third emperor???" Black Tower was dumbfounded.
Black Tower's voice was filled with unprecedented shock, his purple eyes fixed on the small robot that had been transformed from a trash can and was shimmering with a silver-blue metallic luster.
The exclamation of "Emperor III" echoed clearly in the quiet laboratory.
"Uh, don't scare me, I don't have the ability to contact the scepter." Chen Feng quickly waved his hand, then looked at the Black Tower with a strange expression.
After all, if we're really talking about Emperor III, it should be Black Tower. In the "what if" scenario, Black Tower merged with the Iron Tomb to protect Onphalus, thus becoming Emperor III.
Black Tower frowned. It seemed that this was the ability given to Chen Feng by the creators of other universes.
His ability to create omnipotent machines is almost on par with that of Emperor Rupert.
"Wait a moment, I need to find someone." Hei Ta glanced at Chen Feng and the trash can, then turned to contact someone.
In just a few seconds, a phantom appeared in front of the Black Tower.
He was a well-dressed android with half-rimmed glasses, exuding an air of wisdom and strategic thinking.
Question: Black Tower, what brings you here?
"Screw Gum, I think I need to show you something." With that, Black Tower looked at the trash can that was greeting Chen Feng.
Question: A seemingly unfamiliar android?
When he saw the trash can, Screws was also a little surprised, but he couldn't accept it. There were countless Omnics left behind after the Imperial War, and there were quite a few he had never seen before.
Upon hearing this, Black Tower chuckled softly, his elegance unparalleled: "If I told you that this creation, which appears to be an AI, was just born, would you believe me?"
Screw Gum paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Answer: Black Tower, you like to joke too?"
"I'm not kidding. This little guy was just an ordinary trash can, but under the power of this newly appointed Guardian Envoy, he's turned into this in front of me." Black Tower shook his head.
"A newly appointed Guardian Order Envoy?" Screw Gum's tone finally changed slightly. He looked at Chen Feng in surprise, and Chen Feng greeted him in return.
Screw Gum looked at the trash can and fell silent: "I'll be right there."
As Black Tower's partner and friend, Screws knew very well that Black Tower wouldn't joke about something like this; if it were true, it would be truly shocking.
"Hmm." Black Tower nodded, and then Screw Gum closed the communication channel, presumably to rush on his way.
"Are you planning to just keep this little guy around like this?" After informing Screw Gum, Black Tower looked at Chen Feng curiously.
