Shorekeeper shook her head slightly. "No, I've actually been following Rover and Mr. Lucian all along."
"But back then, I was puzzled. Why was Mr. Lucian so different from before, and why did it seem like so many women had relationships with him?"
"What I want to know is… is this what humans call love? But… how can one person love so many people?"
Shorekeeper wore a bewildered expression.
Rover: "?"
Lucian: "?"
Lucian fell silent, feeling like he was about to be handed an urn, as he saw the murderous intent in Rover's eyes.
All he could say was that Shorekeeper's innocent yet serious tone made it hard to keep a straight face.
Rover's Speaker paused for a moment before saying, "…You still have a lot to learn."
"Suggestion: Continue following Lucian to learn about human emotions."
"But human emotions are quite complex. If you want to understand them deeply, you might need to experience them hands-on."
Rover: "?"
"Is this Rover's Speaker trying to get itself killed?"
Rover's Speaker said earnestly, "Artificial intelligence is a technological product. I don't have life, so strictly speaking, you can't use 'dead' or 'alive' to describe me."
Rover: "…"
"I think we shouldn't let Rover's Speaker replace the Tethys System, or it'll drive me to death eventually."
But Lucian nodded with satisfaction. "I think it's great. It listens to me, after all."
Rover's Speaker said, "Lucian is my Master. No matter what happens, Lucian can directly command me."
"Additionally, based on my analysis, Lucian has the potential to become the strongest on this planet, so aligning with him is the best choice."
Lucian raised an eyebrow. "And if I'm not?"
Rover's Speaker replied, "If not, I will help Lucian become the strongest on this planet."
Lucian immediately decided, "This is the perfect choice to replace the Tethys System!"
Rover clutched her forehead. "These two together are truly… a cursed match."
Hearing Rover's Speaker's words, Shorekeeper glanced at Lucian. "Hands-on experience?"
"Hmm… based on my previous observations, the emotions between Lucian and other women are indeed very complex…"
Rover said expressionlessly, "No need for that. You have plenty of time, so you can take it slow and understand gradually."
Shorekeeper looked troubled. "Alright, I understand… I just want to protect you all better…"
Rover changed the subject. "Let's hurry over."
Lucian smirked mischievously. "Rover's Speaker, in the simplest terms, tell me what Rover's feeling right now."
Rover's Speaker: "She's jealous."
Rover: "…"
With a frosty expression, Rover dragged the laughing Lucian through the portal into the space containing Death Star.
Shorekeeper, trailing behind, asked innocently, "…What's jealousy?"
Lucian curiously examined Death Star. "So this is Death Star?"
Death Star resembled an actual planet, with a black-and-white sphere at its center, surrounded by several dark rings orbiting it.
"It's strange… there's a restless frequency fluctuation…"
Shorekeeper nodded slightly. "Yes, please be careful."
Lucian shielded the group behind him, slowly reaching out toward Death Star …
In the next second, the scene around them shifted rapidly, as if they were traversing spacetime, arriving in a new space. Before they could take in their surroundings, a flaming motorcycle charged toward them.
Lucian kicked the motorcycle, causing it to explode. The group looked toward the center of the area, where a tall, slender figure stood, glaring at them menacingly.
Rover's Speaker immediately jumped out, narrating in a storyteller's tone.
[Inferno Rider, a Elite-class Tacet Discord born from the Sonoro Sphere!]
[Born in the Port City of Guixu, this iron rider uses unceasing flames to test the courage of intruders.]
[Over the long years, the truth of history has gradually burned away. The knight who once sang boldly toward death has, through human tales, transformed into a messenger of fear.]
["That is the knight who turns fear into fuel, bringing calamity."]
[Yet, among the idle talk of the Port City of Guixu's natives, another rumor quietly spreads.]
["When you face that knight, cast aside your fear and show the utmost respect, proving your courage to face death!"]
Faced with Rover's Speaker's passionate narration, Lucian scoffed, "Just a punk on a blazing bike. Do you have to make it sound so epic?"
Hearing Lucian's dismissive words, the Inferno Rider seemed enraged!
It conjured another motorcycle and charged straight at Lucian.
But clearly, it underestimated Lucian's strength and overestimated its own.
Lucian leaped into the air, kicking it to the ground, then mocked, "Nice motorcycle, but it's mine now."
Inferno Rider: "?"
Lucian hopped onto the motorcycle, using his Fusion resonance ability to drive it.
The fallen Inferno Rider watched as Lucian maneuvered its motorcycle into a dragon-like pose, then charged at it.
Accompanied by the powerful resonance frequency Lucian unleashed, the motorcycle defeated the Inferno Rider in one strike.
The moment the Inferno Rider was defeated, the surrounding scene faded, and they arrived in another space where Death Star awaited above.
Shorekeeper explained, "We've now returned to the correct space."
"That battle suppressed its original frequency fluctuations."
Lucian reached out, grasping at the air. "Where's my motorcycle?"
Rover said exasperatedly, "You're still thinking about that motorcycle?"
The group approached Death Star, and Lucian asked, "No fighting this time, right?"
Shorekeeper shook her head slightly. "The frequency has stabilized."
Lucian reached out, and Death Star emitted a voice: "Authorization detected, operation confirmed."
In the next second, Death Star gradually dissipated, absorbed into Lucian's Tacet Mark. Lucian sensed that he could summon Death Star at any time.
Shorekeeper nodded slightly. "Next, you just need to bring it to…"
Before Shorekeeper could finish, Abby, who had been hiding in Lucian's Tacet Mark, suddenly darted out. "Hey, hey, hey! Don't just eat random things!"
"That stuff looks totally inedible! And it's too mixed, like a bunch of flavors mashed together."
Lucian said discontentedly, "Abby, you're being picky now?"
Abby crossed his arms, annoyed. "Even if I'm starving, I don't eat just anything! That thing you just took smells awful! Like some chaotic dark cuisine where everything's thrown in!"
"It's like a pit you'd fall into if you're not careful. I'm not eating that stuff…"
Shorekeeper stared at Abby. "It's him…"
Rover's Speaker circled Abby, singing, "It's him, it's him, it's really him, our food—little Abby!"
Abby: "?"
