Boom! Boom! Boom!
The temple began to collapse, crumbling before everyone's eyes.
Just a second before it was completely destroyed—
Whoosh!!
XLR8 grabbed Ethen and rushed out of the ruins, returning to where Grandpa Max and the others were waiting.
"Grandpa, everything's taken care of."
Behind Ethen's back, the prototype tool had formed a mechanical scabbard, perfectly encasing the Sword of Bezel.
"The God Sword—it's ours!"
"Speaking of which… we were supposed to be guarding it. How did it end up with Ethen again…?"
Grandpa Max nodded in satisfaction, clearly approving of Ethen's efficiency.
At the same time, his expression was a bit strange as he muttered to himself.
"Alright, Grandpa, let's go."
Ethen grinned and, after a playful remark, walked straight toward the old broken car.
The group soon returned to the vehicle.
Ethen stored the mechanical scabbard in his backpack so he could carry it around at all times.
After that, he pulled out his phone and checked several unread messages.
They were all remittance notifications.
The sender was—unsurprisingly—The Forever Night Association.
"Ah… my savings are already over a hundred thousand," Ethen sighed.
"How troublesome. I can't even spend it all. I'm still so young. Where the hell would I even spend money?"
He put his phone away, looking deeply distressed.
Ben's face darkened when he heard this.
"Ethen, don't forget—you promised to help me get something to strengthen my combat power!"
"I'll keep an eye out," Ethen replied seriously.
He needed time to think carefully before choosing something suitable to boost Ben's strength.
Soon, everyone left the area.
Whoosh.
A black SUV slowly drove into the construction site, which had been reduced to scorched earth.
The window lowered.
Clad in silver armor, Forever King stared at the ruins with barely restrained fury.
"Who keeps going against the Forever Night Organization… Don't let me find you!!"
One of the warriors asked cautiously, "Boss, could it be the Plumber Association?"
"Impossible!" Forever King rejected the idea instantly.
"Those Association cowards wouldn't be this ruthless. So I can rule them out completely!"
First—
Eliminate the wrong answer.
…
Night fell.
12:00 a.m.
Ethen rolled over in bed and continued sleeping, hugging the mechanical scabbard tightly.
I don't need to stay so tense anymore, waking up exactly at midnight to sign in!
Sleeping while hugging the mechanical scabbard is the best feeling in the world!!
The night passed without incident.
The next morning—
Ethen woke up feeling refreshed and stretched lazily.
Then his expression darkened slightly.
"I shouldn't have overslept last night… damn it. Human inertia is way too hard to overcome."
His discipline had been built through half a year of sign-ins.
But just one Sword of Bezel—
Plus a set of prototype tools—
And it completely broke his routine.
Sleeping in was just too tempting.
"Whatever. Sleeping in once in a while is fine. I'll count it as a reward."
After comforting himself, Ethen silently thought:
"System, claim the Omnitrix Template."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully claiming the Omnitrix Template.]
[The Omnitrix Template obtained by the host is: FateWatch.]
[FateWatch: A fusion of the Error Watch and the Love Watch. It possesses all Error aliens, including Alien X. It also retains Love Watch characteristics, such as protection mode, and the fact that every alien form is female and harbors affection toward the host. The only difference lies in how that affection is expressed.]
Holy shit!
Ethen's expression instantly became colorful.
"There's actually an Omnitrix like this?! System—I'll take it!!"
He didn't hesitate for even a second.
Error Watch + Love Watch = a group of powerful aliens completely obedient to him.
Only an idiot would refuse.
As for that last line—
He didn't really care.
Even if their expressions of love were intense, he could just refuse.
What, were they going to force him?
Whoosh!!
An Omnitrix appeared on Ethen's right wrist.
The screen was pink, symbolizing the Love Watch.
The strap was covered in jagged fangs, representing the Error Watch.
This bizarre, mixed Omnitrix locked itself tightly onto his wrist.
Ethen smiled faintly.
"It feels… wonderful."
Click.
He tapped the Error Watch's screen, rotating the dial to the Fate Alien X position.
"How about trying this one, Forget it. Let me check my template first."
"System."

Looking at the panel, Ethen raised an eyebrow.
"I'm the most outstanding person in all of Earth's history?"
"Ethen! The old broken car seems to have a problem. Come take a look!"
"Ah—okay, Grandpa. I'm coming."
Ethen snapped back to reality, closed the attribute panel, and quickly climbed out of the car.
After fixing the old broken car, the group resumed their journey.
