The Memoria of the Reverie Reef is constantly leaking towards that great void.
This leakage also made it convenient for Derick to control his fifth clone to absorb it.
Derick controlled his fifth clone, moving towards the void. With its nimble movements, the fifth clone quickly approached the void. The other people in the Reverie Reef were accustomed to the large void above their heads, so Derick's approach didn't attract anyone's attention.
However, there was one exception.
Very close to the void, a young girl was observing it.
Derick recalled the game's plot; this girl's name was Comey, and she was a dreamscape observer. She was always watching the great void, so if the fifth clone went in, it would definitely attract her attention.
Derick thought to himself.
"Fortunately, she's not very strong."
Controlling the fifth clone, he silently came up behind Comey and struck the back of her head with a sharp chop, knocking her unconscious to the ground.
After doing this, he then directed the fifth clone to enter the great void.
After entering, Derick didn't rush deeper. He came here to absorb, not to investigate what was inside the void. He used the void's suction to pull in the Memoria, and then Derick directly controlled his fifth clone to absorb all of it.
He had to admit, absorbing it in this place felt quite pleasant.
Not long after Derick's fifth clone entered the great void, the fallen Comey slowly stood up. Derick's timing had been extremely precise; Comey didn't feel the slightest discomfort. Her vision just went black for a moment, and then she woke up.
Comey rubbed her eyes.
"Why did my vision suddenly go black? Could it be because I've been staying up late recently and my stamina is failing?"
She pondered this for a moment, then decided to rest for a bit before continuing her observation.
...
Origami University.
There were still many students studying here, and the academic atmosphere was quite good.
Hyacine had previously served as Anaxa's teaching assistant at the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden, so she felt right at home at Origami University. Moreover, she was considered a guest of Sunday's, so the head of Origami University had to give him face. When they heard Hyacine wanted to study medicine, they gave her the green light, allowing her to learn as she pleased.
Polyxia accompanied Hyacine, discussing medical matters with her.
There was one question Polyxia was curious about, and she asked Hyacine, "By the way, Hyacine, why haven't my sister and I gotten pregnant with Derick's child yet? It hasn't been long for me, so it's normal that I'm not pregnant, but my sister has been with Derick for so long. How come there's still no news?"
"This..." Hearing Polyxia's question, Hyacine's face instantly turned red.
She was still a young maiden; it wasn't appropriate to ask her about such things!
However, Hyacine still thought about it carefully for a moment, then gently shook her head, her expression becoming a bit grave.
Hearing Hyacine say this, Polyxia paused. She asked Hyacine, "What's the problem? Is there a solution?"
"Derick is not the problem. He's the same as anyone else in the universe. The problem is with us. After all, we have digital bodies constructed by the Emperor and the Imperial Scepter. Even after being modified by Derick's blood, we can only move normally in the universe. But when it comes to conceiving a life, the difficulty is still immense," Hyacine told Polyxia honestly.
"Have you ever seen a person have a child with computer data?"
Hearing this, Polyxia's expression turned slightly pale.
She didn't know what Derick was thinking, but she was afraid he cared a lot about continuing his bloodline.
"Well... it might be possible, but we'll have to wait until Derick completely resolves the situation on Amphoreus and transforms the lives of us Amphoreans. Only then might things change."
"It would be great if that's the case," Polyxia said, letting out a breath.
"I believe in Derick. He will definitely let us get pregnant," Hyacine comforted Polyxia.
"Mhm..." Polyxia nodded, but then she realized something was off. She looked at Hyacine with a teasing smile and asked, "'Us'? Miss Hyacine, you?"
"Th-that was a slip of the tongue..." Hyacine's face turned crimson, and she quickly found another book to read.
Meanwhile, in another part of Origami University, Firefly was sitting in a corridor at Point P.
Hyacine and Polyxia were thirsty for knowledge, but Firefly, a veteran of Glamoth, didn't like to read.
Studying? Not happening.
Firefly came here to make contact.
She had sent a message to the Stellaron Hunters, and Kafka replied, telling her to wait here, and someone would come to find her. Firefly sat for a while before a small figure holding a game console walked over.
Walking up to Firefly, Silver Wolf was still complaining, "This Origami University seems quite comprehensive, but they haven't even established an esports major. Seriously, if they created one, I'd go be their mentor."
Hearing Silver Wolf's complaint, Firefly thought to herself.
"Your skills are hacking skills. Your actual gaming skills are nothing to write home about."
Silver Wolf continued to ask Firefly, "By the way, how have you been lately?"
"Alright. With the help of Miss Hyacine and Miss Polyxia, my condition is temporarily under control. In reality, although my body isn't as agile as it is in the dreamscape, I can move around freely," Firefly answered Silver Wolf.
"That's good. I guess we owe Derick one for that," Silver Wolf nodded. "He wants to find the Stellaron Hunters. What's it about?"
Firefly thought for a moment and said to Silver Wolf, "I can't say for sure, but it should be related to Amphoreus. He wants to save Amphoreus, so the more help he can get, the better. Besides, Elio's ability is a factor."
"Elio's precognitive ability is arguably the strongest in the universe."
Hearing Firefly say this, Silver Wolf couldn't help but smile.
"Speaking of which, Elio talked to me before I left. He said that if his script goes smoothly, the next destination for Stelle and the others will be Amphoreus. There, Stelle will save Amphoreus."
"Mhm..." Firefly nodded, but then she realized something was wrong. She asked Silver Wolf, "'Smoothly'? Has something gone wrong with Elio's script?"
"Yes, Elio said his script has a serious error. According to his script, after Stelle boarded the Astral Express, no one from Amphoreus should have appeared ahead of time. And... those pitch-black monsters shouldn't exist either."
A shocked expression appeared on Firefly's face.
An error in Elio's script... This was truly a first.
