"Baxter!"
Charlotte smiled slightly and waved at the Green Brains.
The brains immediately floated down before her and explained:
"Because appearing in my true form here would cause a loss of strength, I can only appear as brains."
She reached out her hands, holding the brains, and said:
"I know."
"We need to cooperate to get through the current crisis."
"But the premise is that you have to trust me."
"âDo you trust me?"
"Of course," said Shen Lv, the Green Brains.
Charlotte stopped speaking.
She just held the brains, her body emitting a semi-transparent glow tinged with black and purple.
A line of small text appeared:
"Multi-layered Universe · Charlotte wants to officially recognize you as master, do you agree."
"Agree," Shen Ye said without hesitation.
All the light enveloped the Green Brains.
Then suddenly.
A line of glowing small text appeared in front of Shen Lv:
"Charlotte has activated the power of âShadow Divine Motherâ and wants to acquire all your abilities. Do you allow this?"
"Allow," Shen Lv replied.
âThe Shadow Divine Mother is a profession Charlotte advanced to after fusing the âNon-Living Masterâ and the âLife Soul Masterâ.
This profession can only be inherited by one person.
Its function is to manifest othersâ strength.
The small text continued to appear:
"Charlotte, relying on your abilities, displayed your identity to start earning the trust of the Multi-Brain River."
"The Multi-Brain River has verified your relationship with her."
"She has been acknowledged."
"She acquired all the abilities of the Multi-Brain River."
"The Multi-Brain River has invited her to join the battle."
Charlotte suddenly opened her eyes.
"Alright, Shen Ye, I can now use all its strength. Shall we go?"
She transmitted her voice to ask.
"Where to?" Shen Ye asked.
"Back to the Truth World, I know the way back," said Charlotte naturally.
The Green Brains turned back for a glance.
Su Su, the Ship of Destruction, and Uncle Qi were focused on digging a pit, seemingly uninterested in what was happening here.
That was strange.
Why do you guys seem a bit afraid of her?
"Shall we go?"
Charlotte asked.
"...Things arenât done, let me finish up, and then weâll go," Shen Ye said.
"You want to help this river?" Charlotte asked.
"After all, it has helped me a lot too. I donât want to see it die here," Shen Ye said.
Charlotte laughed, her expression soft as she said:
"Itâs dying, trusting us is just grabbing at straws."
"But I was able to awaken, part of it was its doingâplus it helped youâso Iâll join the battle."
Before she finished speaking.
A beam shot down from the sky, aiming straight for the Green Brains in Charlotteâs hands.
Charlotte caught the beam with a single move.
The beam became immobilized.
âFrom a distance, she looked like she was holding a glowing fluorescent tube.
"I also have another reason for acting this time."
"That monster hidden in the clouds has been ambushing you, which makes me very angry."
Charlotteâs tone changed somewhat.
In front of Shen Lv, lines of glowing small text appeared:
"Charlotte used Sky-reaching Palm."
"As the Shadow Divine Mother, she borrowed your term Mandala Uroboros."
"Andâ"
"Her own âFeeding.â
The fluorescent tube in her hands rapidly dimmed and eventually vanished completely.
Charlotteâs aura rapidly increased.
âThe energy was consumed by her!
"Letâs give this river a glimmer of hope first."
She finished speaking and formed a Technique with one hand.
Streaks of light shot out from the seals of her hands and landed on Su Su, Uncle Qi, and the Ship of Destruction.
Su Su, guided by reflex, controlled the Mecha to dig the shallow pit on the ground once more.
Clatterâ
A large pile of reddish-brown earth was unearthed.
"What is this?"
Su Su looked at Charlotte in surprise.
Charlotte explained simply:
"Its veins are blocked, energy cannot be supplied to the riverbed, so they must be cleared."
The three looked at her with an impressed expression.
Uncle Qi showed a nostalgic look, murmuring:
"I remember countless years ago, a young girl returned to the Truth Worldâ"
"With the Withering Staff leading a horde of Truth Creations to besiege her," the Ship of Destruction continued.
"She carried a terrifying curse; touch meant death, so even those fellows dared not kill her," Su Su said.
"Enough, past matters need not be used to test meâno one knows my depths," Charlotte laughed.
She used a Technique, allowing the Green Brains to float on the side.
"But I will tell him."
Before finishing her words, she already rushed onto the battlefield.
In the sky.
The brains were fighting intensely with the massive eyes.
Charlotte formed seals across the void, releasing a Technique.
âNaming Technique!
"This Technique is extremely powerful, but the only weakness is it cannot name itself."
Her voice echoed in Shen Lvâs ear.
Shen Ye came to a sudden realization.
No wonder the Multi-Brain River had to seek his help, hoping he could name it.
But now the situation was differentâ
Countless brains saw the Technique in Charlotteâs hands and emitted a humming sound:
"You are the Spirit Walker as mighty as the sea!"
"You are the Combat Saint Assassin Master who controls shadows!"
"You are the Creator God who is skilled at devouring everything!"
"You are..."
Accompanied by their naming, a dense array of terms appeared above Charlotteâs head.
Howeverâ
"This isnât right!" Uncle Qi shouted in disbelief.
The Ship of Destructionâs tone was exceptionally calm:
"CompatibilityâEven if sheâs stronger than us, thereâs no way she could satisfy so many termsâ compatibilityâhow can she be âsuch an existenceâ and âthat kind of existence,â aligning with different terms in terms of character and will?"
Su Su, however, showed a complex expression and softly said, "If thereâs one person who can do this, it must be her."
