What is a super villain?

Chapter 236 Quality Lock

Let's go back in time to an earlier time.

A pitch-black void lingers around.

Not a sound, nor an object or light of any kind, no day and night, no passage of time, just eternal silence.

Elder Quinn sat quietly in this cage, placed in the endless emptiness of hesitation, unable to escape, unable to find a way out.

He didn't mean to escape, but just closed his eyes quietly, as if cutting off the information interaction between himself and the surrounding space, becoming a hard island of data.

After an unknown amount of time, Elder Quinn slowly opened his eyes.

Not far behind him, a twisted and wriggling vortex suddenly appeared, like dense cracks extending on the glass, destroying the complete beauty of the entire empty space.

A calm and elegant old gentleman emerged from the vortex.

The gentleman was wearing a gorgeous suit with flowing sleeves, calmly looking at the environment of the empty space without the end of the boundary, as if all this was a natural thing for him.

From time to time, his body flickered as if the signal was not good, and he was smiling, revealing the unfathomable city.

The gentleman walked forward slowly, nodded slightly to Elder Quinn, showing a gentle smile.His voice was as steady as a saxophone, and he said softly:

"Hi, elder of the Celine clan, nice to meet you."

He raised his mustache with a smile, took off his white gloves and stretched out his hand.

"My name is Pedro, a businessman."

Quinn frowned slightly, and he wasn't too surprised or delighted by the unexpected visitor in front of him.

Right now, this space is a private space separated from the [Miniature Barrier Homeland]. In a more vivid description, it is a separately planned sector in the computer hard disk.

The space is independent from other areas of the [Miniature Barrier Home], and Quinn has the same authority as the other seven elders. Under the joint blockade, he cannot enter or exit.

Quinn didn't know what method the person in front of him used to bypass the authority restriction, but it was not a simple method. Either he had a deep understanding of the 'miniature galaxy', or the power he held was several levels higher than that of the Xilin tribe.

That is, the power of God.

"It's the holder of 'God's Grace' again, Mr. Pedro, what can you do with me? Please be reminded in advance that no matter how wonderful and genius you have planned, I cannot provide any advice or help."

Elder Quinn opened his eyes, his tone was cold, showing a detached attitude.

Pedro smiled and walked in front of Elder Quinn, without any anger or arrogance, he just spoke in the tone of an old friend:
"Do you know how to open the quality lock?"

Elder Quinn raised his head and glanced at Pedro vigilantly:
"Where did you hear that word?"

Pedro did not answer, but said:
"[The miniature dimension] has been transferred to me, and through the quantum connection between the components, it is possible to cross the barrier and come to this space. I come to see you with sincerity, Your Excellency the Elder."

"Quinn."

Elder Quinn reported his family name: "You can call me by this name."

Immediately afterwards, he took the initiative to say: "The deep quantum structure of the mass lock will only appear after the reorganization of the 'miniature galaxy', but no one can touch it. This is a gift from our family to the 'God on the Cloud', only the Creator I can open it myself. Even the recipients of the 'God's Grace' cannot see the whole picture of the quality lock."

"A black box."

Pedro concluded thoughtfully:
"So the quality lock is not a product of Celine's family. You are just users, not creators."

"I don't know where you heard the term 'mass lock'." Elder Quinn lowered his head and immediately added, "The quality lock is not a lock or a door, it is a law of the universe, the great creator stores information The password of the safe. He left an empty safe, and our family locked it after preparing the gift, and no life in the universe can open it again.”

Pedro carefully looked at the solemn alien race in front of him for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled and said:

"Only by unlocking the lock can the true form of the 'Miniature Galaxy' be revealed. The Celines, who were the overlords of the universe, devoutly prepared gifts for the Creator. It is definitely not just a virtual space for playing house."

"Wait until I know, that's how it is."

Pedro was amazed and said to himself:
"After the entropy of the 'miniature galaxy' increases, it will eventually enter the ultimate universe - heat death. In that state, all information is meaningless, all matter will stop moving, and all existence will become invalid. The 'miniature galaxy' is just a seemingly The more sophisticated subspace facilities are meaningless before the heat death, and all information will be erased even before the heat death. But the real gift will not, the quality lock is a higher level of insurance, allowing your gift Transcend chaos and hand it over to the Creator. After unlocking the quality lock, the 'miniature galaxy' will show its true form, do you really install a whole galaxy into it? It's a romantic gift."

Elder Quinn glanced at Pedro:
"That's not your concern, outsider."

"Unfortunately, that's why I'm here, Elder Quinn." Pedro didn't mind the alienation in Elder Quinn's tone, "I'm looking for like-minded collaborators and exploring ways to unlock the quality lock."

"Want to be a speculative thief in front of the great god? Or a raving rambling that hasn't woken up?"

Elder Quinn sneered.

Pedro shook his head: "A speculative thief? What a disgusting description, I prefer to call it the best use of everything."

With that said, Pedro tapped the ground with the cane in his hand:
"You have to know that there are many gods who were active in the universe, and there is more than one quality lock left behind. In the eyes of you and your compatriots, the seemingly unsolvable puzzle may have some kind of standard answer somewhere."

Elder Quinn didn't believe it and just looked at him sideways.

Pedro stroked his raised beard and coughed lightly:
"The scattered components of the 'Miniature Galaxy' are about to be reassembled, and the long and boundless 'Eternal Silent Night' in the ancient books of the Celines is close at hand. Not all Celines are martyrs, willing to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs, and like you, they hope to return The sound of the real universe."

"Cooperate with me and try another possibility for the last time before 'Eternal Silence'. For you, there is no loss in trying, isn't it?"

Elder Quinn was silent, and he asked in a muffled voice:
"What do you want me to do?"

"Set off a rebellion and create trouble." Pedro bewitched, "Whether it is a mass lock or returning to the real universe, the reorganization of the 'miniature galaxy' is a prerequisite. I want to speed up the reorganization process."

He pressed the top hat on his head, and his body flickered more frequently and more intensely, as if the signal was not very good.

"The Sailin tribe no longer has the concept of death. Your compatriots will feel a headache for your behavior. They need a stronger cage to detain you. There is only one best choice."

Elder Quinn raised his eyes, and the scepter in his hand trembled slightly:

"[Miniature Singularity]."

"That's right, you know the role of [miniature singularity] better than I do. In addition to providing jets of dark matter and gravitational waves, the interior of its black hole horizon is also a small prison, the confinement room of the Celines. You make trouble, other elders We will seek the help of outside collaborators to retrieve this component."

Pedro said with a confident smile:
"At that time, with the [Miniature Dimension] in my hand, the great creation of the Celine clan will be seen again."

"I have some means that can help me interfere in the 'Miniature Galaxy'... such as coming to you, and I will cooperate with you to imprison other elders and delay the arrival of the 'Eternal Deep Night'."

After thinking about it, he added:

"Don't worry about me betraying you after using you. My goal is the quality lock. If the 'miniature galaxy' falls into heat death, the quality lock will also be hidden, right?"

After finishing speaking, Pedro left the thinking time to Elder Quinn.

There are many ambiguous areas in his words, such as how he will treat the Celines if he controls the "miniature galaxy"; such as the reason why he wants to unlock the quality lock; such as his ultimate goal and so on.

However, Pedro has clearly decided that for Elder Celine in front of him, no matter how bad the future is, it is better than falling into the heat death of the "eternal deep night".

After all, there is still a chance to break free from being controlled by slavery, and heat death will be truly nothingness.

After waiting for a while, Pedro was already starting to feel a little bored.

He took out an ordinary candy from his arms and placed it in front of Elder Quinn.

"If you're thinking about ending it, please put away this gift. It will allow you to leave this space and return to your fellow man."

To his surprise, Elder Quinn grabbed the candy, unscrewed the plastic paper casing and threw it into his mouth to chew.

Seeing this, Pedro was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.

Elder Quinn raised his eyes: "You are not trustworthy, human. But I am still willing to take a gamble. As you said, there is no concept of death in the Celine tribe, and I have nothing more to lose. Before the night comes, I will cooperate with you."

"Wise choice."

Pedro clapped his hands, and another figure emerged from the vortex he appeared in.

This new figure was not so stable, its shape changed from big to small, filling the entire sky for a while, and shrinking into dust invisible to the naked eye for a while.

After changing over and over again, his figure gradually stabilized and turned into a man about the size of the two present.

At first glance, it was Alan who died suddenly in public at the internal board meeting of Midgar Sea Industry!

Allen shook his head, and his memory gradually recovered. After looking at the scene at the moment and seeing Pedro clearly, his eyes widened:

"It's you who made the trouble! Could it be that Alivy wants to start a war with Midgar Haiye..."

Before he finished speaking, Pedro shot him out of thin air and pinched his neck.

The not-so-sturdy arm stood still under Allen's struggle, and Pedro said to Elder Quinn:
"This is a very useful hostage. He doesn't know that he is dead and has become a data body like you. I believe you should know how to do it, right?"

Elder Quinn nodded, and Pedro raised his hand and threw Alan in front of him.

"Part of the structure of [Miniature Dimension] is in the candy just now. I will give it to you to show my sincerity. I believe you are familiar with its function."

Immediately, the gentleman's figure dissipated along with the vortex, leaving only the words floating in the empty space.

"Then, wish us a happy cooperation."
