Although the past memories are completely traversed in the mind, only a few seconds have actually passed in reality.
Looking at the black ball that gradually closed, Carters in front of him became invisible again.
And Yang Ming already knew exactly what to do.
Without saying a word, he immediately teleported to the black ball, punched it and blew it up on the spot.
The black mud that exploded covered the surrounding walls, floors and ceilings.
However, all the dark matter that spread towards Yang Ming was scattered again by his extremely fast set of punches and landed elsewhere.
This force was grasped just right, and Carters, who was in the center of the original black ball, was intact.
She immediately regained consciousness, opened her eyes and looked over.
Seeing that she might still be a little confused, Yang Ming asked first:
"Are you okay?"
"Well, I'm fine."
Carters behaved normally and showed no physical deterioration. The black mud had not caused any substantial harm to her.
Theia's surveillance re-involved, indicating that Carters' mind had not been affected.
It seems that the other party really complied with the bet.
"Uh...it hurts."
The voice came from unknown directions. At this time, black mud was spread all around, making it look very three-dimensional. The other party continued,
"Are you the master she mentioned? You are indeed quite powerful."
"you lose."
Yang Ming said indifferently,
"You know what to do?"
"I didn't expect you to know your past memories. You, ahem, what's your name?"
I forgot to use a title again. I guess I was probably pretending on purpose before, but there is nothing to worry about. Yang Ming then said:
"My name is Yang Ming. As you think, I did know about your bet in advance."
"Okay, Yang Ming, I remember it."
The other party paused and said,
"Although you must already know my real name, let me introduce myself again. My name is Helena, and I am the ancestor of the alchemists."
Although it is true that Carters knew this real name in advance in his memory, Yang Ming has never been sure who this name is.
No corresponding answer was found in the knowledge base, which means that either there is no record at all, or it has been blocked by Theia.
[Yang Ming: Theia, can you investigate what is going on with this existence named Helena? 】
In the past, it would have been difficult for Yang Ming to figure out the truth, but now it is very easy, and the manipulators behind it are all under his command.
[Theia: The file cannot be retrieved. It can be considered that this figure does not exist in historical records. As for why this is the case, human intervention cannot be ruled out. 】
If a super intelligence like her cannot know the truth, then only a more powerful supernatural being can block the information, so the person who wants to ask the question should be changed.
[Yang Ming: Yang, what do you think? 】
"Um……"
He fell into deep thought, that is, he didn't know the other person, but Yang quickly continued,
"If we just start from the identity of an alchemist, as far as I know the pinnacle of this field is the 'Golden Law'. Studying her life may be able to find clues."
This is not the first time I have heard of the title Golden Law. As early as when Yang Ming first obtained the flask, he had a dream.
In the dream, a planet was destroyed in a fierce battle, and the entire planet was turned into gold. Yang deduced that it was a spell launched by a supernatural being called the Golden Law.
I did dream about traces of the battle at that time, indicating that there was another person fighting with the Golden Law at the scene.
It's just that after asking everyone who has lived in ancient times until now, no one can accurately know who the target of the battle is.
It can be reasonably inferred that the time when Yang Ming was dreaming was affected by the energy fluctuations leaked from the flask itself, so that we can know what happened in that scene.
The flask is the container that seals Helena, which means that the owner of the dream is actually this black mud.
Now you just need to ask the other party, so Yang Ming asked first:
"According to the information I have obtained, there is no ancestor of alchemists named Helena in history."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the other party was shocked and said in disbelief,
"I'm actually no longer remembered by people?"
The black mud scattered around gradually gathered on the tabletop of the test bench. It can be seen that the volume is shrinking, and it seems that it intends to only occupy the tabletop itself.
Seeing this scene, Carters quickly ran behind Yang Ming and hid close to him, looking at the black ball to avoid any accidents.
"Yes, so I don't know your true identity. After all, there is no conclusive record data."
Yang Ming was not in a hurry to elicit the information he had learned in advance, but asked the other party to ask questions in person before throwing them out to avoid being suspected of colluding with others.
"This, this doesn't make sense. Who is the ancestor of alchemy recorded in your history? There must be someone in that position, right?"
As expected, Helena asked about this matter. Yang Ming gently put his hand on his temple, pretending to investigate the information, and after a while he replied:
"Hmm... He is an extraordinary existence with the title of 'Golden Law'. I don't know the specific real name."
"It's actually her?"
These words made Helena very excited. The black ball that had become neat on the table began to erupt with violent ripples. She said loudly,
"The Golden Law! She is my enemy. She is the murderer who beat my body into this horrible state and sealed it in that broken bottle. Oh, she makes me so angry!"
Anger made Helena forget her way of speaking again, and her voice became very childish due to the too sharp tone.
"Please calm down. I can probably understand why you are angry. If you want revenge, I can help you."
Although the priority of conquering the Golden Law is very low, Yang believes that it is a very unnecessary target, although the real reason is that he has some kind of "unfortunate relationship" with Yang.
Just like the Zerg Queen, it is best not to encounter her, but in the end it is a probabilistic event, what is supposed to come will still come, and the battle is probably inevitable.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with the condition of the promise of the person in front of you. You can first integrate him into your own combat power, and then wait for the opportunity.
"Are you sure you have what it takes to kill her?"
Helena seemed to have this tendency, Yang Ming struck while the iron was hot and said:
"There may indeed be some shortcomings in terms of strength, but I have confidence in this aspect. Besides, haven't you already lost the bet? You still have to fulfill your promise? It's not a bad thing to just make an agreement like this."
"Uh...that's indeed what happened. Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. What's the name of the person behind you?"
