Neurolink System in the Modern World

"Is that everything? Is that all you know?" I pressed, eager to extract every last bit of information from him.

"That's all I can recall," he responded, his tone devoid of deception.

He had already given me the exact coordinates of where the Council of Gods were located, and I must say it was really really far away.

No, the phrase "far away" didn't quite gave it justice; it felt more like being as small as an ant, then going on a journey to circumnavigate the globe a hundred times over.

That's how immense the distance was after doing some mental calculation.

Even if I flew there at the speed more than double light and kept on teleporting , it would still take me a more than a year to reach it judging from the distance, and that was counting my own time.

From the perspective of someone observing from Earth, time would have passed differently due to time dilation.

According to the theory of relativity, as one approach the speed of light, time dilation becomes more significant.

The exact amount of time dilation would depend on your exact speed and the distance traveled, but it would likely be at least tens of thousands years.

That wasn't the only problem.

Space isn't static; it's always in motion. Planets orbit stars, stars move within galaxies, and galaxies drift through the cosmos.

This endless movement means I had to run mental calculations, make predictions, and update my information as I traveled. It made the whole ordeal a real pain in the ass.

That's where Mirro comes in. It can map out space, saving me time.

"Okay, that'll do," I nodded .

"So, are you going to keep your word?" he inquired, referring to my promise to grant him a physical form.

"Obviously not, and I'm certain you're well aware of that," I chuckled, seeing no reason to deceive him anymore.

"I guessed that much," a smile form on the giant's face , after fully accepting it's fate. "In a way , I think ceasing to exist is way better than being trap in this place," He added.

"Of course, living here for a long time must be terrible, so I'm doing you a big favor. You don't have to thank me; I'm just a really good-hearted person," I replied with a casual smile.

The giant was speechless at my benevolence.

"Nice talking to you," He replied .

"Likewise," I said, snapping my fingers. I destroyed his consciousness quickly and painlessly.

He didn't even feel a thing; it was instant.

When all of that was done, the entire place started shaking. The consciousness keeping it standing had vanished.

Back in the room, Mirro was now in shock after realizing it had been freed from its restrictions.

"It's time to escape!" it chuckled as it activated its ability. Its body started vibrating, and the space around it shifted.

Once it escaped, finding it would be almost impossible.

However—

"Where do you think you're going?" I asked, my voice laced with amusement.

With a flick of my hand, I imposed my own, more powerful restriction on Mirro. Its attempt to escape faltered as my control tightened around it, sealing its fate once and for all.

"I— I…" Mirro started to panic .

"I own you, you know. Do anything stupid, and I'll squish you into jelly juice," I warned, my tone firm and uncompromising.

"Master!" it hurriedly acknowledged me, showing no backbone at all.

Well, it had no backbone to begin with, literally speaking.

"Stay put here," I commanded, raising my hand before slipping it into my space.

With my restriction firmly in place, it could no longer escape my grasp.

"What happened?" Shao Mi asked after I lifted my ability. She was unaware of everything that had just transpired. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

Ah, nothing important," I replied nonchalantly, brushing off the tension with a casual tone.

Seeing my lack of response, she didn't press further, but I sensed that I hit her ego. Maybe she felt I was treating her like a child, or worst stupid.

I couldn't talk to her about what I learned, not because I didn't want to share, but because she wouldn't understand. It's like explaining quantum physics to a three-year-old; it's just too complex for her.

"Change of plans, I want to wrap this all up now," I shifted the conversation.

"You said you want to know how to disable the portal, right?" she asked, confused by my sudden change of heart.

I paused for a moment, considering my response. I couldn't simply tell her I had a change of heart because I discovered something interesting and wanted to move my plan faster.

"It can't be closed right now," I sighed, putting on a convincing act.

I did not want to close those portals because they were the catalyst for Earth's own evolution.

Without a common threat, the humans wouldn't unite at all. So, having a necessary evil was the key

Besides, I still have a plan up my sleeves, so I need it to exist .

"Don't worry, I'll find my own way of closing it," I reassured her, gently touching her head and playing with her hair.

To my surprise, she didn't protest; instead, she allowed me to spoil her a little, her cheeks flushing slightly, which made my heart skip a beat.

'Yeah, I'll have to stay on Earth for a while longer. I can't just leave without fully enjoying my life,' I chuckled to myself.

After I finished spoiling her, I closed my eyes and integrated my consciousness with the entire area, searching for Zayen.

With total control over this realm, finding her would be a breeze.

When I opened my eyes, I began to see the whole area as if I was playing a city builder game, but with more intricate and precise camera controls.

"Ah, there you are," a smile spread across my face as my gaze settled on a small hut just outside the city.

BLINK!

In an instant, Shao Mi and I teleported just outside the hut, our presence still concealed.

"Sometimes, I feel too weak when I'm near you," Shao Mi sighed, still reeling from the shock of yet another extraordinary experience.

"That's what they say," I winked at her, hinting at something more playful and mischievous.
