Chapter 41 - Chapter 41 The Arrival of the Black Tower

Monkey D. Dragon: "???"

Crest-holder Puppeteer: "???"

Lumine: "Are you sure this is a Demon God? Not even an Aeon is this exaggerated, right?"

Crest-holder Puppeteer: "What's even more exaggerated is that Sir Hermes actually has the confidence to pull someone out of such a world? He only feels it's tricky?"

The more knowledgeable a being, the more they can perceive the invincibility of a Demon God!

When a being capable of altering the physical constants of a world appears, most of the knowledge and power you've learned become unreliable!

Under such circumstances, he only finds it tricky?

What kind of confidence is that?

Pioneering Wisdom: "On the surface, Demon Gods are indeed exaggerated. Of course, in reality, they are truly exaggerated."

Pioneering Wisdom: "Without corresponding means, facing these Demon Gods is basically hopeless!"

Hermes's tone was very calm.

But he wasn't fooled by these superficial data.

Female protagonist in crossover anime: "Then why do you think you have the power to deal with them?"

Lumine frowned deeply, replaying the Demon God's settings in her mind again and again, completely baffled.

But she was also very certain.

With the wisdom of Hermes's Genius Society, he would certainly not be shooting in the dark; there must be a reason!

Pioneering Wisdom: "Don't forget, even Aleister has the confidence to deal with these Demon Gods, let alone me?"

Pioneering Wisdom: "Demon Gods are not like Aeons, who embody philosophical concepts and the roots of the universe. They are far from being as impregnable as the Aeons!"

Pioneering Wisdom: "Perhaps you can ask Index about the nature of Demon Gods? Don't be intimidated by their superficial power!"

...Recalling the conversation in the Chat Group just now, Hermes couldn't help but smile wryly.

Demon Gods are indeed a very peculiar existence.

Even he would find it troublesome if he had to fight them in their home territory.

However, this doesn't mean Hermes considered Demon Gods invincible!

Because.

They have one fatal weakness—Phases!

Aleister could use this to deal with Demon Gods.

Hermes would only have more methods!

"Better safe than sorry; let's prepare for an encounter with the Demon Gods..."

While he had ideas, it must be said that the Demon Gods nestled in their home world of A Certain Magical Index indeed displayed exaggerated power.

If he rushed in recklessly, Hermes would only have some self-preservation ability.

Want to pull someone out?

That would be dreaming!

"Eh?"

Just then, Hermes suddenly frowned. The simulated World Wall he had woven on the imaginary number torrent outside the Blue Star Galaxy had been touched.

Looking up slightly, Hermes couldn't help but show a look of realization.

"So Herta has finally arrived!"

Hermes's face showed a half-smile: "Sure enough, before cooperation, she needs to test my standard, and then gain the upper hand in subsequent cooperation, right?"

However, Herta has probably made a mistake... She probably doesn't know what terrifying progress I've made during this time!

The clash of knowledge from different worldviews, his progress speed was simply astonishing; even a rocket couldn't go as fast as he did!

Just a single Innate Domain—Perfect World—gave his strength an explosive boost!

...Outside the Blue Star Galaxy.

The star sea flowed endlessly, with only the imaginary number torrents enveloping each galaxy churning—a barrier that, besides the power of Trailblaze, only Destiny Walkers at the Envoy level could cross.

At this moment, Herta, who had come in person, gazed at the seemingly ordinary imaginary number torrent before her, a confident smile playing on her lips.

"Hermes, let me, your senior, test your standard. Don't blame me for bullying you before you've even built your exclusive supercomputer!"

A consciousness link connected to the supercomputer, Witch's Fortress.

In an instant, her consciousness leaped rapidly. That super computing power even allowed her to glimpse the mysteries of time, gaining the ability to foresee the future.

Fu Xuan, the Diviner of the Luofu Xianzhou, to calculate the future and test fortune, not only needed the wondrous artifact, the Eye of Omniscience, bestowed by Nous on her forehead, but also the assistance of all diviners in the Divination Commission to operate the Matrix of Foresight... Even so, she could only perform simple calculations.

But Herta now, with just a thought, surpassed Fu Xuan by an unknown margin.

And this was merely the basic template for every genius.

Instantly, what had seemed like a simple barrier of imaginary number energy now transformed into a different appearance in Herta's eyes.

"Clipperton's Heavenly Comet Wall? Hermes even studied this?"

Data was collected one by one, and Herta's brows gradually furrowed as she continuously analyzed its underlying logic. The more she looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"No! This isn't just a simple simulation of the Heavenly Comet Wall; it seems to have added some strange rules?"

"This strange data template, why does it get weirder the more I unravel it?"

Herta's probing touched the underlying logic of this defense system.

At first, her movements were like a surgeon's scalpel, precisely cutting off defense nodes. Even the operating rules of this simulated Heavenly Comet Wall couldn't stop her.

But very quickly.

The rules of the Heavenly Comet Wall combined with another strange system hidden deep within... Immediately.

The difficulty of the intrusion soared dramatically.

What made Herta even more unable to hold back was that this strange system almost overturned her understanding!

How could mere data possess substantial power?

Why did the simple text for [Solidity], when it came into contact with the [Heavenly Comet Wall System], react as if a chemical reaction had occurred?

If it were just this, Herta could still grudgingly chew through it, but everything that happened afterward completely made her lose her composure!

Why could a defense system so complex automatically become... become... perfect as her cracking process advanced?

"Damn it!"

Herta pulled out several strands of her hair, muttering to herself in utter bewilderment: "Could this system be an anomalous life form?"

"Capable of self-editing programs based on the situation, becoming even more perfect?"

"Herta, do you need me to slow down so you can see clearly?"

Just as Herta was calculating, Hermes's voice, carrying a hint of a smile, suddenly rang in her ear.

Herta's face stiffened, then she nonchalantly calmed the restless Envoy authority.

Her previous actions could be explained as a technical exchange.

But with the host appearing and still using Envoy authority... even with Herta's thick skin, it was a bit hard to maintain composure.

"No need, just open a door for me and let me in."

"Hmm, in that case, welcome, Herta!"

Immediately, to Herta's ghost-seeing gaze, a great being encircled by three Paths appeared before her, saying with a faint smile...
