"Susanoo is alright, but for me, it's a bit of a waste."
After the battle with Uchiha Madara, Beryl gained a lot of inspiration, including how to simulate the structure of chakra through her own laws.
What, how did she do it?
Come on, if a God with a base combat power in the trillions can't even simulate the degraded energy used by a little guy whose combat power is less than a thousand, wouldn't she just want to find a block of tofu to bash her head in and die?
It's like a university student who can't even pass an elementary school final exam; you'd really have to wonder if they'd been living like a dog for decades.
"Chakra's Yin and Yang attributes are quite similar to the laws of the God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai."
However, it's the result of being degraded countless times over.
Beryl waved her hand, dispelling the thousand-meter-tall Perfect Susanoo that had enveloped her body.
She slowly descended to the ground.
"It's not that I gained nothing; it's just better than nothing," Beryl thought with some comfort.
The emergence of the Chat Group is still somewhat useful.
Her consciousness entered the Chat Group.
"Hmm?"
A look of surprise crossed Beryl's face.
Two new Group Members?
"APTX4869 Researcher."
"Princess of the Abyss."
Looking at the avatars displayed for the two, familiar scenes surfaced in Beryl's mind.
She had lived in this world for twenty years, but after becoming a God, her memories became even clearer.
"Interesting, so it's them."
The APTX4869 Researcher is the Tea-haired little girl, an important supporting character in a certain Death God Primary School Student anime, whose original name is Miyano Shiho, and whose name after shrinking is Haibara Ai.
As for the other one…
The Traveler from Genshin Impact, the quest master of Teyvat.
"The nickname isn't right, wait, Princess of the Abyss? Could it be…"
Just as Beryl was thinking.
Teyvat.
"A Chat Group connecting countless worlds, how could Teyvat have something like this?" On the golden-haired, white-dressed girl's tender face, a look of "Lumine-style" confusion appeared.
Systems, Chat Groups, and the like, aren't those only in novels?
Having traveled across countless worlds, she naturally knew about the so-called "golden fingers" in some novels.
"I haven't detected any malice for now," the girl murmured.
Sinking into her consciousness, she browsed the contents of the Chat Group.
The girl's eyes widened, and her expression gave off a naive and innocent feeling.
At this moment, an Abyss Mage suddenly appeared.
The Abyss Mage slowly prostrated behind the girl, speaking respectfully:
"Your Highness, we have encountered an insurmountable obstacle in the Dvalin plan, and we require your judgment."
Withdrawing her consciousness from the Chat Group, the innocent expression on the girl's face vanished, replaced by a cold look that swept across her calm features as her gaze flicked to the Abyss Mage behind her: "Is it the Anemo Archon? Is he going to put on his crown again for this dragon?"
"No, it's not him. That unreliable God might intervene midway, but we have a strategy to deal with that. What's obstructing our plan is your brother…"
As soon as the Abyss Mage finished speaking, the girl's pupils widened abruptly.
Scenes of her time with Aether flashed through her mind, even the battle with the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
The girl turned into an afterimage, rushing towards the location the Abyss Mage had mentioned.
Stormterror's Lair.
Aether was engaged in a fierce battle with Hilichurls.
"Brother…"
Lumine stood on the highest cliff, her hands resting on her knees, bending halfway, looking at the familiar figure below.
After a while, Lumine withdrew her gaze, having no intention of meeting her brother.
She turned and walked towards the Ruin Guard that was standing still.
"Let's meet again after you've finished traveling the seven nations, brother. We will eventually reunite, but not now…"
Standing on the giant palm of the Ruin Guard, Lumine recalled the Chat Group she had just joined.
"Perhaps, we have a better choice."
"This unexpected item should bring me different insights."
"Once things here are settled, brother, we can look for a new home together."
…
"Detective Conan" World.
The Tea-haired little girl sent the Death God Primary School Student, who was walking to school with her, away.
Under the bewildered gaze of the Death God Primary School Student, the Tea-haired little girl ran to the corner.
The little girl's current name is Haibara Ai, but that's not important.
What's important is that a voice suddenly appeared in her mind just now.
[Do you want to truly live? Then join us!]
[Yes or No.]
Just as Haibara Ai was puzzled and wanted to wait a moment to ask the famous detective beside her.
This voice, from who knows where, appeared in her mind again.
[Ding! Because you have been idle for a long time, the system defaults to you choosing to join the Chat Group.]
Haibara Ai: "???"
Then, Haibara felt her head buzzing, and strange information kept pouring into her mind.
The content in her memory also became increasingly clear.
This memory, which wasn't her own but felt as if it had been newly engraved, made the former scientist Miyano Shiho, now Haibara Ai, realize that such a bizarre phenomenon was definitely beyond the capabilities of current technology.
She quickly found an excuse to send Edogawa Conan away, looking for a secluded place to carefully examine the information she had received.
However, the more she recalled and reviewed, the more incredible she found it.
Magic?
Monsters?
Chakra?
…
This must be a joke, right?
But she knew it wasn't a joke.
"What's wrong, Haibara?"
At some point, Conan appeared beside Haibara Ai, a suspicious expression on his face.
"Do you believe magic exists in this world?"
Haibara casually asked a question that stumped the Death God Primary School Student.
Conan: "???"
"What are you talking about, Haibara? I'm a materialist; I believe in science. How could magic exist?"
Conan stared with his dead fish eyes. He had just thought something happened to Haibara and rushed over anxiously.
Turns out, it was just this?
"Kudo, do you think APTX4869 is scientific?"
"Uh…" Conan immediately froze.
"Th-this is a product of technology."
Conan seemed unable to refute the fact that he shrunk after taking the drug.
A high school student weighing over a hundred pounds shrinking into a small primary school student and surviving without any side effects completely defies the law of conservation of energy.
"Regarding APTX4869, the initial research was actually for an elixir of immortality."
"How could there be such a thing…"
Conan was about to refute Haibara's wild idea, but then he remembered that he himself had turned into a primary school student, which in a sense could be considered a different kind of immortality, so he couldn't continue speaking.
"How about it?" Haibara smoothed the bangs by her ear.
"Haibara, you've been very strange since just now." Conan avoided the topic, because he knew that once he confirmed that the drug he took truly had such an effect, he really wouldn't dare to investigate the Black Organization further.
He didn't even need to think; an organization researching such things would definitely have waters deeper than a whirlpool.
"You go to school by yourself. I'm not feeling well today, so I'm going back first." Leaving Conan with her back, Haibara Ai turned and left.
"Hey!"
Conan, filled with questions, looked at his watch showing he was about to be late. In the end, curiosity was defeated by reality.
After confirming that Edogawa Conan had walked far away, Haibara Ai leaned against a large tree nearby and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Great Detective, I just told you something incredible."
In the organization, Gin is not the only one working.
Their footprints are almost all over the world.
Haibara Ai shook off the miscellaneous thoughts in her mind and immersed her consciousness into the Chat Group.
She had just received a piece of information from the Group Administrator that greatly concerned her.
Even if it was a deal with the devil, she wanted to try it.
[APTX4869 Researcher: "@Uchiha Madara, is it true that you can resurrect life, as you just said?"]
Haibara Ai's body trembled slightly, and she could even feel her heart thumping.
Resurrection, my sister…
[Uchiha Madara: "The Chat Group will have this function after its level increases."]
As an Administrator, Uchiha Madara knew a lot of content from the Chat Group's permissions, including the aspect of resurrection that he cared about more.
After all, he was currently a dead person and had a resurrection plan, so it was natural for him to care about this.
Since Group Leader Beryl was offline, Uchiha Madara, as a Group Administrator, had no choice but to take on the task of welcoming new Group Members.
And then, by the way, he painted a grand picture for the newcomers.
A man who had been a clan leader, did he still need to learn how to paint a grand picture?
He casually mentioned the future prospects of the Chat Group.
Thus, this new person, whose nickname was "APTX4869 Researcher," easily took the bait.
While her capable subordinate, Uchiha Madara, was diligently working.
A certain white-haired slacker Group Leader quietly came online.
She didn't interject, quietly lurking, perhaps occasionally blowing a few bubbles in the water.
"Indeed, a tsundere like Uchiha Madara, as long as you can subdue him, he will take the initiative himself."
