Who says the Magic Cyber ​​Police can't overthrow the Heavenly Gang?

[You subconsciously look up, and through the dense, impenetrable branches of the towering tree, you can vaguely see the silhouette of a floating island in the sky. This calms you down a little; at least you're not being blown away a hundred thousand miles in one breath like you were underground.]

However, there are some strange patterns on the branches that are difficult to discern. You can't tell if they are companion plants or some kind of monster with camouflage. If you decide to climb the tree, your room for dodging will be very limited if you are attacked from there.

"Walking on the ground for a while will do." You glanced at Jennifer, who was clearly trying to train her apprentice, and were about to deliberate whether to climb to the treetop to continue or leave the forest first, when suddenly a voice you hadn't heard in a long time popped into your head.

"Dad! Lilia sensed a signal! The ruins are nearby!"

[You were stunned for a moment before you remembered that this was Lilia, the "Executioner" from the "Eye of Herod" residing within you. Because you hadn't encountered any significant battles recently, you had almost forgotten about her!]

["Wait, ruins?" You suddenly realize that the ruins Lilia was referring to were the magical ruins that had inexplicably "grown legs and ran away"!]

"Yes! Very close—very close!" Lilia exclaimed excitedly, "These, the magic vortexes! They're from the ruins!"

[Your brow furrowed immediately. Although you didn't know what was inside the ruins, judging from the current situation, it was probably no weaker than the dwarven fortress!]

A strange intuition arises deep within your consciousness; for some reason, you feel that these ruins are destined to be connected to you!

"Let's go that way." You made up your mind immediately, exchanged a knowing glance with your teammates, pointed towards the ruins, and took a step forward.

Chapter 312 The Mysterious Test of the Ruins?

After trekking for nearly half a day, your group arrived at a raised area of ​​terrain.

[You immediately saw the large circular doorway directly opposite you, half-buried in the ground, with only a vertical crack in the center visible.]

From your perspective, the front of this ruin is an extremely long circular passageway, and at the end of the passageway, you can see two huge chambers, which appear to be treasure vaults, standing on the left and right sides.

For some reason, the closer you get to these ruins, the more a strange sense of familiarity washes over you, as if you've seen something related to these ruins somewhere before.

You couldn't help but ask Lilia inside the necklace, but the mentally challenged Lilia, of course, knew everything. After predictably getting nothing in return, you sighed helplessly and turned to look at your teammates.

Jennifer and the others were also incredibly impressed by the existence of such ruins in the forest. Upon hearing your question about their observations, they quickly regained their professional awareness.

After scouting the area around the ruins for half an hour, you returned to the entrance, marked out a safe zone in the woods, lit a campfire as darkness fell, and began sharing your discoveries.

[First, Jennifer made a discovery. After using her divine power to scan the entire site, she found that the ruins had generated a mysterious domain that could expel demons. Furthermore, there were no warning signs of evil spirits within the ruins; she could only sense the presence of extremely powerful substances.]

In other words, unless you provoke hostility towards this ruin, staying near it might be the safest place in this forest.

[Secondly, there's the silly dragon. When she's near the ruins, she always feels a mix of exhilaration and unease. She pondered for several minutes before telling you that the exhilaration might be due to being in the territory of some friendly creature, while the unease might be due to the oppressive feeling caused by a significant difference in strength.]

Although Leafa, the prospective knight in the party, is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, her observations surprised you for a moment. She discovered many crops from other regions on the vegetation covering the top of the ruins, and was the first to conclude that the ruins might have undergone a complete relocation.

[Finally, based on your own observations, you discover that this ruin is enormous. Judging from the height of the half-buried door, the interior of the passageway is at least ten meters high, far exceeding the height of an average human.]

The passageway was over a kilometer long. Considering you couldn't stray too far from your teammates, you didn't complete a full circuit of the ruins, but only roughly estimated the distance based on your walking distance.

You recall encountering the magical puppet "Executioner" only a month or two ago, and there's no indication that the ruins were recently relocated. You suspect the ruins contain advanced technology.

However, if we evaluate it based on that magical puppet from back then, then if the entire ruins were filled with such incomparable technological creations, then it would indeed be ridiculously powerful.

[At the time, you cleverly used a "spell nullification barrier" to temporarily stop the puppet's magical effects, but even now, you can't guarantee a win in a direct confrontation. After all, you haven't yet tested whether your current body can truly engage in hand-to-hand combat with a mechanical puppet.]

Thinking of this, you quickly asked Lilia in your mind: "Master, the puppet you were controlling back then was strong, but it was too difficult to fight as an enemy. Are there any similar defensive mechanisms in the ruins?"

Lilia took a moment to understand what a "defense mechanism" was before answering in a lively manner:

"Yes, Daddy, yes! Such powerful magical puppets... there's more than one! There are nine in total!"

"Nine?" You gasped. You might be able to handle two or three, but nine... You could only hope that Serfal could fly fast.

Considering that the "Executioner" might only be the weakest puppet, you instantly became more vigilant about this ruin. There are definitely more than just those nine puppets inside, and the various facilities associated with them could also pose a certain degree of danger.

In short, after a brief discussion, you and your teammates reached a consensus: avoid unnecessary complications for now, record the coordinates of the ruins, and explore them again once you reach the High-Level Mage level.

[You accept this outcome, after all, reaching a higher level is just around the corner for you, and right now, successfully completing your previous plans is more important.]

As night deepened, you decided to rest where you were and set off again early the next morning. After thinking it over, since your intuition told you that this ruin was safe, there was no need to waste any more time searching for a place to rest in this veritable primeval forest.

Upon hearing this plan, Serfal actually volunteered to keep watch. She had been sleeping in the mage territory for far too long, and once outside, she was like a husky let loose, sniffing and looking around. If she hadn't already memorized your scent, she might have gotten lost by now.

After careful consideration, Jennifer quietly had a brief conversation with Leafa. Under your puzzled gaze, the prospective knight's face suddenly turned bright red.

A few minutes later, looking at Leafa, who was cowering between you and Jennifer, covering her eyes, you finally understood what she had been shy about.

"Is this...is this right?" You scratch your head, looking at the smiling Jennifer, and say with a hint of exasperation, "You naughty woman, don't mess with kids like that!"

"No way!" Jennifer chuckled, giving you a wink, then straightened up and explained seriously:

"First, Little Leafa is weak and needs our protection as her master and mistress. Second, as a Holy Knight who is about to shoulder the responsibility of field operations, she also needs to get used to the life of sleeping in the wild and supporting each other with her companions..."

"We can talk about mutual support later," you said, squinting. "Little knight, explain to me first, who's the master? Who's the mistress?"

"Oh no, when did you become so smart?" Jennifer exclaimed in surprise, then, after a moment's thought, she patted Leafa's shoulder with a mischievous grin and said:

"Little Lifa, you tell me, who is the master and who is the mistress?"

Leafa looked left at Jennifer, then right at you, and suddenly broke down, burying her face in her hands.

Amidst the pitiful screams of the prospective knight, you transformed into a righteous and ruthless madman, battling the utterly despicable Knight of Light for twenty minutes, separated from her.

"As expected, even though I'm conducting this simulation with a heavy heart and a deep sense of resentment, I really don't want them to suffer along with me..."

[Late at night, you rest your hands behind your head, glance at Jennifer beside you who has already snuggled into Leafa's arms and fallen asleep, shake your head helplessly, and look up at the starry sky above, obscured by the lush foliage.]

[Thelfal was still leaning against a tree trunk not far away, occasionally tossing a piece of wood or breathing dragon breath to keep the fire burning. When she saw you turn around, she grinned and gave you a thumbs up.]

"I hope you don't become too smart after you're cured of the mental retardation technique..."

You uttered this somewhat unethical remark, then closed your eyes.

【…】

The next morning, you opened your eyes, yawned, sat up, and then fell silent as you looked at the nine magical puppets lined up in front of you.

"I had a bad dream, let me wake up again," you muttered, then collapsed to the floor with a thud, falling back into a deep, baby-like sleep.

Five minutes later, you wake up again, staring at the gigantic puppet posing in nine different JoJo poses, and rub your eyes in utter disbelief.

"Strange, where's my dragon?" A chill ran down your spine as you thought of Serfal, who was supposed to be on night watch. Now that all the magical puppets had come out, she remained completely silent. Could it be...?

You quickly turned to look at the tree trunk where you'd seen it last night, and sure enough, the silly dragon was lying soundly on the ground, fast asleep.

"Damn it, I knew it." You couldn't help but make an old man's face, like someone staring at their phone on the subway. You took a deep breath, glanced at the girl beside you who was still sleeping in each other's arms, and stood up to walk towards the magical puppet.

Although you don't know exactly what happened, or why those magical puppets are posing in front of you without attacking, you have a feeling that these puppets are all coming towards you.

[As you walked, you mentally sent Lilia a series of passionate calls, but for some reason, the lively and energetic Lilia from last night was now completely silent.]

Reluctantly, you abandoned your plan to ask Lilia and walked up to the towering magical puppet.

Nine puppets stared silently at you, an invisible pressure instantly spreading throughout your body. You frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to say, come at me. Don't disturb my teammates."

The puppet on the far left snapped out of its JoJo pose, nodded at you, walked up to you, and extended its hand.

You scratched your head, hesitated for a moment, and then took her hand.

[This is a female puppet. No, all the puppets in front of us have female characteristics, but this one has the most slender waist and legs, long arms, and the outlines of three combined weapons are faintly visible on her armored body. The words "Reclaimer" are engraved on her chest.]

As you looked on in bewilderment, the "Recycler's" hand gradually clenched, and then you felt a strength equivalent to that of a level one warrior flowing through your hand.

["Could it be a test?" Just as you were thinking this, the "Reclaimer's" hand tightened again, transmitting a force equivalent to that of a level two warrior.]

"It seems that's true, but why is there a test?"

With this question in mind, the force emanating from your hand gradually increased to the level of a fourth-level warrior. Although this is your apparent strength, with all your enhancements, it is merely the tip of the iceberg of your true power.

[After noticing your effortless performance, the "Reclaimer" seemed somewhat surprised. She turned to look at the lead puppet, and after a moment of silence, released your hand and returned to the group. In her place, the middle puppet stepped forward to stand in front of you.]

By this point, you had guessed that this was some kind of special qualification test, so after glancing at the new puppet's name, you handed her your hand.

The new puppet is named "The Trainer." You're a little unsure of her abilities, but thankfully, after shaking hands, you still feel the familiar changes in pressure, which puts your mind at ease.

However, you soon realize you've let your guard down too soon! As the force gradually approaches the medium intensity of level six, which is your current limit, a series of subtle sounds suddenly emanate from the "Trainer's" body. Immediately, you feel a sharp pain in your palm, and a strange power instantly awakens your dormant bloodline.

[“I…super!” Your body suddenly became excited for some reason. While you were still on guard because of the strange changes in your body, you suddenly felt a certain warrior ability within you being awakened, and then a slight resonance occurred in the corresponding parts.]

"Wait, what's this...?"

You frowned slightly, and after a moment of sensing, you realized that the "all-terrain hiking" technique hidden in your muscle memory was being activated by some kind of power within your bloodline. No wonder your feet were itchy right now, and you had a strong urge to go back to Boss Shishi for a foot massage.

A few seconds later, the muscle memory for "extreme starvation" was activated, and a wave of unbearable hunger surged through your stomach. You realized you couldn't reach that limit. You understood that the more proficient you were with these warrior abilities, the stronger this sensation would become.

"It seems the 'Trainer' has the ability to check a warrior's abilities. Wow, looking at it this way, I realize I've hardly ever used many of my abilities..."

[You muttered something to yourself, then suddenly your expression froze, and a skill you were extremely familiar with instantly surfaced in your mind.]

"Wait, no way! If it's that ability, and if I were to demonstrate it in public, my mage career...!!"

You desperately tug at your hands, but under the control of the powerful magical puppet, you can't pull them free. You can only watch helplessly as the activation tests for each ability are administered one by one...

Yes! That ability is your most prized "Liquid Shock"!

[In your despairing gaze, the resonance of your bloodline awakened the "Liquid Shock" ability. Your Bull Brother instantly entered battle mode, and after a powerful build-up, a massive jet of energy erupted from his body, shattering the hem of your robe and drenching the "Trainer."]

The "Trainer" was taken aback. Even as a magical puppet, she couldn't help but take two steps back. After a moment of silence, she turned her gaze to the lead puppet, then silently turned back to you, staring intently.

You awkwardly twitched the corner of your mouth; you wanted to smile politely, but you just couldn't manage it.

A cool morning breeze swept past, slipping through the hem of your tattered robes. You glanced down at the colossal figure of the Bull Demon King on the ground, tears welling in your eyes as you closed them. In this awkward atmosphere that was almost unbearable, the next ability within you was gradually activated and began testing…

Chapter 313 is about to descend upon his loyal floating island.

"No, stop messing around, bro!"

Latis clenched his fist in annoyance and muttered:

"I've only been serious for less than two chapters, and I've already lost so completely, Zhuo! Simulator, you really love abstract things..."

"I really want to see it too."

Artemis couldn't help but raise her hand and whisper. She had already guessed from Latis's behavior that he was probably in the so-called "simulation" now. Originally, she thought that divination and prediction of the future was a very serious matter, but she didn't expect Latis to make sarcastic remarks from time to time, which made her feel itchy like a cat scratching her heart.

"You're not allowed to look!" Latis broke out in a cold sweat the moment he imagined the scene. He quickly patted the half-elf's head reassuringly and said:

"The ability to 'simulate' involves generating images in my mind. I can't share it with you yet. Once I've made my prediction, I'll describe what I saw to you."

"Okay—"

Artemis nodded obediently, staring curiously at Latis's face.

"Stop messing with me, emulator..."

Latis wiped the sweat from his brow, muttered something under his breath, and looked at the simulated text again.
