I cosplayed as the battle-damaged Azure Sparrow and got caught by the Immortal Boat!

Chapter 46 Topa: Who put this cornerstone in my hands!

After the deduction was completed, Hua sent Qingque to Ongfaros. Xilian personally placed several seals on her and set up a sensor—once a high concentration of reproductive energy was detected, she would be teleported there directly.

"To be honest, if she hadn't chosen a path that was almost infinitely lonely, she would never have been able to reach godhood based solely on her reproductive adaptability."

"You guys are too tense." The Black Tower felt rather helpless about this.

She had recently been secretly sabotaged by Ruan Mei, and even she herself hadn't expected that Ruan Mei would care about her so much.

On the other side, Xilian was watching Toppa.

"Are you sure you want to make these deductions? They've just glimpsed some not-so-good future prospects for you right now."

"Or...maybe we should just forget about it? Miss Topa, you wouldn't want your colleagues staring at you like that, would you?"

Topa forced a standard professional smile. Ever since those star core hunters said something, suspicions about her within the company had become quite open.

Some have even linked her to the fall of the Amber King, suggesting that she may have betrayed the faith of the Preservation.

If she goes back now and says "everyone loves me," and when asked, she says "everyone trusts me"—then she should return her foundation!

Ultimately, the company received some video footage of the a20 and signed a series of agreements proposed by Xilian, one of which was to station Topa in Onfaros for an extended period to assist with the work.

Essentially, this means that Toppa was sold to Xilian.

That makes sense. Since Toppa will leave the company sooner or later anyway, we might as well do him a favor now and let the strategic investment department make another profit.

For Topa, these two weeks in Onfaros were very relaxing. Do you know how torturous that is for a workaholic?

It wasn't until the next deduction was activated that she curiously stepped into the formation with Zhang Zhang—because Zhang Zhang was also in the scene that had appeared earlier.

This time, Qingyuan rested her head on Xilian's lap, taking small bites of the desserts made by Kongbai, and surprisingly, she didn't fall asleep.

She had asked Silver Wolf before, and Silver Wolf relayed Eriol's reply: "Everything will be as you wished when you first came into this world."

That would surely be a happy ending—Qingyuan believed it.

The deduced image gradually became clear: it showed a scene of topas and tents suspended in the starry sky.

Toppa turned around and looked at a distant planet. Everything was starving, and all longing had turned into a desire to devour.

"The entire planet is doomed. That gluttonous messenger is disgusting wherever he goes."

"Do you think I should do anything to send that lovely girl on her way first?"

Behind him, a sea ranger dressed in cowboy attire spoke.

"No, your choice to protect the neighboring star system instead of hunting him down proves that your sense of justice remains unwavering."

Topa shook his head. "If we really fight him to the death, we'll most likely both be severely injured."

Besides, he's determined to escape, and you can't stop him. I will inform all members of A20 later:

If you encounter him, stall him at all costs and wait for a 5F-level compatible candidate to arrive.

"Tsk, this time we just had to run into a planet that we can't just leave unattended. What a damn hassle."

"Yes, it is indeed cruel to do this... Wasn't it for the same reason that Mr. Walter Young went to such extremes back then?"

Leave it to me, Mr. Potio. If you can't bear to do it, please turn away first.

I assure you, it will only be for a moment; the creatures above will not experience any pain.

Upon hearing this, Potio turned around, waved his hand, and gestured for her to hurry up.

The Prismatic Stone appeared in Toppa's hand, and a storm wrapped in golden-purple light, carrying immense power of destiny, enveloped the entire planet.

In an instant, the planet vanished silently, as if it had never existed.

"Okay, it's done. This time it's even faster than last time."

"Holy crap, you're even timing this? Don't you feel anything?"

"Huh?" Topa was taken aback by the question, then answered softly, "On the one hand... it's because I've done too much, and I've become a bit numb."

On the other hand, I always tell myself that it was Zhou Yi who did it, and it has nothing to do with me.

"Puff! Puff?"

"Ahem, Mr. Potio, the A20 meeting is about to begin. Will you be attending?"

"I'm not going, I'm not in the mood. I plan to search around a few more star systems nearby, maybe I'll find some 'surprise'."

"Alright." Seeing this, Toppa didn't intend to linger. He took out the Prismatic Foundation Stone and activated the power of destiny.

The next moment, she found herself in a narrow passage of fate. The passage was filled with tables and chairs, and shadowy figures were everywhere.

"Wow, everyone's here this time. Is there an important decision to vote on?"

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Toppa spotted a familiar figure as soon as he entered.

"Ms. Emerald, welcome in. Do you know the purpose of this meeting?"

"I think the boss must have spoken to you beforehand, Elena. Long time no see."

"Hmm... she and I talked about a lot of things, but judging from the situation, she's probably going to use order."

That's right. The boss can't stand suffering. He can't possibly use reproduction to attack civilization, no matter how difficult the situation is. Sigh.

Putting that aside for now, Ms. Jade, ever since you were injured last time… sigh, it's not a good topic either. I wonder how Sandstone is doing now that he went out with the boss?

"I've seen him, there's no need to worry. He deserves immense credit for vanishing a quarter of the gluttonous god's body into nothingness."

"Every time I see you, I think... even I have a 5F compatibility rating, if you hadn't been injured, would you...?"

"Little Yelena, don't think like that. We've now confirmed that compatibility has nothing to do with these things."

We suspect this might be related to the boss's will. After all, she is now the true agent of the protection.

Besides, you're one of the founding members and pillars of A20, there's no need for you to sigh like this.

"The situation is really not optimistic, and I don't know how the boss is doing lately?"

She's rarely seen in public. However, she definitely won't attend events where she'd have to stare at a beautiful young woman for an extended period.

At this moment, Qingyuan's voice rang out:

"Silence. Most of the A20 delegates are present. Voting will now begin."

The topic of this discussion is: whether to award Sunday the cornerstone of the Amber King's core heritage, which embodies the will to transform.

"Star Train Vote"

Himeko: "We believe in him, without a doubt."

March 7th, with a slightly different color scheme: "Himeko's meaning is my meaning."

Dan Heng: "Me too."

Xing: "Me too."

The four cornerstones of different colors fell into the scales of approval.

"Belloberg vote."

Bronya: "I'm sure he's a trustworthy person. I agree."

Seele: "I don't understand the specifics... I abstain."

Jepard: "I will follow Bronya's decision."

Pera: "We've discussed it, and given everything he's been through, it's unlikely he'll repeat the mistakes of his ascension to godhood."

"Immortal Ship votes: Agreed."

"Pinocone vote."

Robin: "I believe my brother can do it!"

Sunday: "It's up to everyone to decide; I abstain."

"The Masked Fool's Vote".

Sambo: "I abstain—don't blame the fool if anything goes wrong!"

Hanabi: "Who could resist a boy with studded wings? Agreed!"

……

"1648 votes in favor, 324 votes against. The votes in favor exceed two-thirds. I hereby declare the vote passed."

A gleaming white base stone gently fell into Sunday's hand.

Topa looked at the cornerstone in Sunday's hand and said with interest, "I wonder what he would have thought if he had seen this scene back then."

Strictly speaking, this could be considered a form of deposit protection. I wonder what he would have thought if he had seen this back then.

Emerald smiled and said, "If that's the case, the answer from that newly promoted Prismatic Ranger would be even more interesting."

"Him? At most, he might sigh, but he's putting his ideas into practice with his own power."

The boss has been trying to expand the scope of the storage service to increase its strength, but unfortunately, we're not up to the task.

"That's good, Yelena. If we repeat the mistakes the company made, then Galaxy will be completely finished."

Please heed my next piece of advice. You're not in the right state of mind precisely because you're carrying a heavy burden; therefore, you need to remain calm and composed.

"Maybe. Actually, I just wanted to confide in you. After all, we in 5F can be considered the backbone of a group, not to mention I'm directly under the boss."

Oh, right, I have something to do, I have to go now!

Watching Toppa disappear in such a hurry, Emerald sighed. Even Toppa could be affected like this, it seems that the situation recently is indeed not optimistic.

-–-—-–

"That ascension to godhood, alas, there is no absolute justice in the world, and order has fallen because of His desire."

I'm sorry, Ms. Hanabi, I should have just taken your words as a joke.

But your words imply a genuine desire to uphold order, which makes me wonder if you have truly sided with order.

"Oh, I was just teasing you! Why are you like this? It's so boring..."

"Fireworks" shook her head, then said, "If that's the case, how will you let me leave?"

"It's very simple. You only need to answer one question: If you were Hanabi..."

On Sunday, she tilted her head slightly, then instantly transformed into a red figure. "So who am I? Spark?"

"Sparkling Sister! I'm your long-lost older sister!"

Upon seeing this, "Fireworks" immediately hugged "Spark" and burst into tears, as if it were real.

But at this moment, Miss Spark had no interest in playing along and instead said directly, "Miss Topa, let's do it."

Then a golden-purple storm attacked "Fireworks," who immediately took out a mask to defend herself before disappearing completely.

Sensing the power contained within the mask, Hanabi frowned deeply.

"To be honest, she hid it very well, but unfortunately, there aren't many people with this level of pleasure power, and I happen to know them all."

Then, she looked at Toppa's side and said, "It might hurt to tell you, but she's most likely the robin. So, what do you think? Should you go after her?"

Sunday's figure appeared beside her: "Nothing to fear. She merely witnessed the breakdown of harmony."

Pleasure then gave her a second life, but for many things, pleasure is ultimately powerless.

After repeated failures, her heart was shattered, and she began to cling to some faint hope.

Hanabi grumbled unhappily, "But she also borrowed Hanabi-sama's image, how are we going to settle this score?"

"Please forgive her, Lord Spark."

"Heh, I think you have quite the talent to be the Masked Fool."

Why don't you vote for Joy too? The Gemini of Order becomes the Gemini of Joy, I think the God of Joy would like that.

Speaking of which, when it comes to your sister, why don't you bring up the corrupt elements of order now?

"Rest assured, I will keep her under my protection and personally supervise her."

Then, the scene abruptly ended. Topa was somewhat confused, as she didn't quite understand the deductions being made and hadn't gained any valuable insights.

However, just as she was about to leave, she discovered that she had an additional prismatic base stone in her hand, identical to the one in the deduction.

Then, Topa learned how to use it.

Xi Lian was slightly shocked when she saw it.

"The essence of memory is cause and effect that transcends time; only by emptying the blank can memory be restored and power restored at the same time."

Miss Topa... I don't understand either.

At the company, Pilboont, Toppa is giving a performance review.

"That's how it is. I really didn't know anything. Once the deduction was finished, the cornerstone was in my hands."

Seeing this, Sand Gold said with great displeasure, "You admit that the cornerstone is in your hands? Then why do you say that this cornerstone is not yours?"

Upon seeing this, Diamond said, "Topa, I'm asking you, are you saying that this foundation stone appeared out of nowhere, without any unusual phenomena?"

"Mmm!" Topa nodded.

"You can use its power, but you have absolutely no idea why?"

"Mmm!" Topa nodded.

Diamond and gold looked at each other, then burst into laughter at the same time.

"No, what's wrong with you?"

Sand Gold stopped laughing and said, "Miss Topa, the Star Core Hunter's words have not yet come true. For now, you might as well be more loyal to the company."

"I've described everything I know exactly as it is. You even have the video recording. If you ask me to continue, I'll just have to make it all up!"

Sand Gold chuckled: "Then why don't you make up something true?"

"Why would I make something up? I don't know anything about it!"

Upon hearing this, Diamond's expression changed, and he said, "Do you really intend to make such a decision?"

"You've only been there a few days. You should know the company hasn't treated you unfairly, right?"

"What am I supposed to say? I genuinely have absolutely no idea!"

Diamond said speechlessly, "You don't need to go to this extent. You're still employed by the company."

Moreover, the company is very friendly to those holding custody orders!

You can't look down on me just because you suddenly gained more power than me.

Even the accountant isn't as heartless as you!

"I didn't... I really didn't!" Toppa had explained countless times, but no one believed him!

Seeing Toppa's state, Diamond finally admitted his mistake: "Yes, we temporarily sold you to Onpharos."

But was that also because you were thinking about whether you could prove your innocence?

If you don't like the company, why aren't you staying there and going back to headquarters to report for duty?

Topa quickly waved his hand: "No, I don't dislike the company; I've always considered it my home!"

Diamond said, enunciating each word clearly, "Then what do you want to do!"

"Do you want my topaz back?"

"You dare mention topaz! Listen to me, it no longer belongs to you!"

Besides, you don't need it, so why do you insist on taking advantage of me?

Diamond was speechless. What other information did Toppa obtain that led to this?

He betrayed the company without hesitation, yet he stubbornly refuses to admit it, showing no shame whatsoever.

Taking advantage of her status as a guardian of the company's assets, she knew the company wouldn't fire her, so she insisted on receiving benefits and even tried to take advantage of him.

It's like the company is about to go bankrupt and will disappear if it doesn't eat—it's just like Scott!
