Chapter 606: Chapter 542: Scepter of Ti Division
"..."
In this Atifie 00’s calculation, does Andre Prince still have a seventy percent chance of winning?
After glancing at Atifie 00, who was speaking through the Cleaner’s head, it was hard to tell if it was true or just boasting. Leon pondered slightly, then squinted and said:
"Let’s assu everything you’re saying is true. Then, since you and Andre Prince aren’t on the sa page and don’t want him to win, how do you plan on helping us? Will you turn against him as soon as I charge into the Number One Research Zone?"
"That’s impossible~"
The sixth Cleaner’s head shook and said:
"During the Soul Code experint, to gain Fein’s support, I had to add a top-priority command to the underlying soul code of all ’Atifie’, requiring all soul code receptors not to defy the commands of the ’Scepter of Ti Division’ holder."
"Scepter of Ti Division?"
"The Scepter of Ti Division is a pair of abnormal objects passed down in our Crolock Kingdom, possessing the unique ability to confuse ti perception."
Atifie 00 explained:
"The person chosen by the Scepter of Ti will have their one hour feel as short as a minute, while the person chosen by the Scepter of Division will have their one minute feel as long as an hour."
"Ti-based abnormal object?!"
"That’s not what it ans. For example, the Scepter of Ti held by every King only makes one hour ’seem like’ a minute, and doesn’t actually turn one hour into a minute.
Simply put, the Scepter of Ti Division confuses ti perception, increasing personal reaction speed sixty tis over and locking onto opponents with that sixtyfold response, reducing their reaction speed to one-sixtieth of what it originally was, but it can’t truly manipulate ti."
Even if it’s not a ti-based abnormal object, isn’t that still insane?
Imagining the consequences of his reaction speed slowing sixty tis while his opponent’s reaction speed increased sixty tis, not only did three second-level Cleaners’ hearts skip a beat, but even Leon couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Sixty tis sixty equals a staggering three-thousand-six-hundred-fold difference in reaction speed. If speed could match reaction, it could let a common ant catch up to a high-speed train.
No wonder Atifie 00 said Andre’s odds were still seventy percent. With such a monstrous abnormal object in hand, even thirty percent winning odds seem generously given.
"Rest assured, the Scepter of Ti Division isn’t that formidable."
Seeing Leon’s silence and seemingly worried about losing the confidence to confront Andre, the seventh Cleaner’s head quickly comforted:
"These two scepters can only be used by mbers of the Crolock royal family, and they consu a lot of energy, approximately one Leon Value per minute of effect.
If soone with one Leon Value uses it, it can only make soone’s one minute into fifty-nine seconds, with an amplifying effect of rely one-sixtieth. Even soone with ten Leon Values using it can only increase their reaction speed by ten percent."
After listening to Atifie 00, Leon hesitated slightly, then squinted his eyes.
Though that’s true, if this falls into the hands of soone with thirty Contamination Values, it can widen the reaction speed gap fourfold. If it crosses the difference between man and god, a Cleaner with sixty Contamination Values can still produce a three-thousand-six-hundred-fold enemy reaction speed difference.
So, no matter how you view it, this is a terrifying "late-stage divine artifact"!
After noting down information about the [Scepter of Ti Division], Leon frowned deeply and said:
"Why are you telling us such important information? Aren’t you afraid of being shut down for betraying Andre?"
"It’s no problem~ this information isn’t important~"
Atifie 00 smiled gleefully and said:
"Andre is not a Cleaner and lacks the Cleaners’ unique Leon Values, so the Scepter of Ti Division in his hands has no effect, acting only as two tokens to control .
Also, because these two scepters have the highest authority over all ’Atifie’, he can’t hand them to others either. Moreover, only the recognized royal family mbers can use them, and the royal family has long been killed by him, so he can’t give them if he wanted to."
I see.
Leon nodded slightly and continued questioning:
"So back to the previous question, how do you plan on helping us deal with Andre?"
"I’ve already ntioned this before; I won’t help you deal with Andre."
Atifie 00 blinked and said:
"Currently, his odds of winning are higher, so I’m just hedging my bets, selling you a favor just in case~"
Your fence-sitting is rather blatant...
With a sowhat speechless shake of the head, Leon asked:
"So what are you planning to sell ?"
"The whereabouts of your captured companion, is that enough?"
The eighth Cleaner’s head lifted up with a smile and said:
"That Cleaner nad Nicole from the forr Gemini branch wasn’t killed in the previous ambush. Instead, she was captured by Andre and is being held in the basent of the Number Three Military Zone.’
"Oh."
Leon nodded upon hearing this.
"I see. What else?"
"Isn’t that enough?"
Atifie was slightly stunned by those words and sowhat perplexed as she asked:
"Aren’t you companions? Aren’t you going to rescue her imdiately?"
"Why rescue her?"
Rubbing his temples to clear the haze of alcohol, Leon shook his head and asked in return:
"Are you going to kill her?"
"Uh... no..."
"So are you torturing her? Subjecting her to punishnt?"
"This... is also not happening..."
"Then what am I rushing for? Let her stay with you!"
Glancing at Atifie 00, Leon calmly said:
"Besides, since you can’t betray Andre, you can’t help us, and you can’t even reveal Andre’s other cards, you naturally can’t specifically help us increase our fighting power at this ti.
So, if I’m not mistaken, Nicole must be under control now, or her abnormal objects have been sealed. Even if we rescue her, she can’t do anything, right?"
"..."
"Looks like I’m right."
In Atifie 00’s wordless silence, Leon summarized:
"If I don’t rescue Nicole, not only will we not be in danger, you’ll also have to feed her well and guard her, and other than lacking freedom and having bad als, she won’t face any hardship;
But if I go to rescue her, first, we’ll be in danger, secondly, she won’t be able to help, and with her abnormal objects sealed, she’ll be stumbling along with us, slowing us down and hindering our actions. It’s better to let her stay captured by you."
"..."
Sounds like...that’s indeed the case...
"So if you want to cooperate with us, and avoid being held accountable after we defeat Andre, you’d better offer sothing more practical."
Leon calmly said while threading fishing lines to bind the dismbered Cleaners together:
"Since you can communicate with
through them, I won’t knock these guys unconscious for now, but if you want sothing from us, you’d better think about what you can offer us... I’m leaving first, I’ll wait for your good news."
"..."
In Atifie 00’s silent contemplation, Leon turned and entered the Crolock palace with its door blown up, then sternly said:
"Three Seniors, we should probably prepare to confront Director Edward."
