Chapter 217: Law Forged, Uninvited Guest [Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter]

For the Dimensional Audience, one thing remained perplexing: why Tian Dao insisted on keeping Dannika—this seemingly useless burden—by his side all along.

Though many long-time fans of the Stellar Prodigy series, especially those who had followed Season 1 closely, had already deduced Dannika’s true identity based on the numerous clues scattered throughout Season 2—she was almost certainly the Gear Church’s Sacred Artifact.

The very object Bishop Cleve and the others had sent Vivian to steal, and desperately search for.

But knowing what the Sacred Artifact was was one thing. Understanding what it could do was another entirely.

And now, after Tian Dao brought Dannika into the Quantum Cube, the Dimensional Audience finally received an answer.

The reason Tian Dao had carried her all this time was simple: this tiny, unassuming girl possessed a power so absurdly overpowered it bordered on a glitch in reality—Words Become Law.

Inside the Quantum Cube, as the outline of the Brass Gear dissolved under the Cube’s overwhelming data assimilation, the tremors within the Quantum Space grew increasingly violent and unstable. Even outside, Chen Kong and the others were thrown off their feet, staggering under the relentless shaking.

After what felt like an eternity, the Brass Gear gave a sharp crack, then shattered into a cascade of golden quantum particles.

Like golden sand scattered by the wind, the particles drifted gently and settled onto the walls of the Quantum Cube, gradually forming countless intricate, gear-like patterns.

Yet these patterns weren’t the law Tian Dao sought. They were merely the original rules encoded within the Brass Gear—raw, unaltered, and in need of fundamental modification and reconstruction.

Once the Quantum Cube had fully absorbed the Book Power contained within the Brass Gear, Tian Dao turned to Dannika beside him.

Dannika understood instantly. She straightened her small frame, and her ever-wandering tuft of hair suddenly stood upright—like an antenna, absorbing the surrounding quantum fluctuations.

Her emerald hair faded to silver in an instant, her eyes flaring with the distinctive glow of a Mechanical Stellar Envoy operating at overclocked computation speed.

Then—something unimaginable happened.

Dannika parted her lips, whispering words without conscious thought.

And the golden gear patterns on the Quantum Cube’s walls moved.

Like living things, they twisted, bent, and reformed—reshaping themselves into new, complex configurations.

This was the unique ability of a living, sentient Character—the power to redefine rules. A power even Tian Dao himself could not replicate.

But the number of rules needing adjustment within the Quantum Cube was astronomical.

Dannika’s silver eyes began to glaze over with moisture. Her face flushed red, her breaths shallow—she was nearing her limit.

“Focus, Dannika.”

Just as she faltered, Tian Dao placed a hand on her shoulder.

Warm Stellar Energy surged into her, like a gentle stream restoring her failing strength.

At the same time, Tian Dao used the unique data connection inherent to her Intelligent Mechanism Class, seamlessly overlaying his own Overclocking Computation onto her.

Instantly, Dannika’s processing power skyrocketed—far beyond her natural capacity.

Her breathing steadied. She took a deep breath, then extended her small white hand forward.

In an instant, her hair erupted into a burst of silver lightning. Countless glowing particles burst from her body—like fireflies guided by invisible strings—racing toward the golden gear patterns on the walls.

As they touched the patterns, the chaotic quantum data began to flow along precise, deliberate paths.

Slowly, they coalesced into distinct, meaningful symbols—new rules being written in real time.

At that moment, a data panel materialized before the Dimensional Audience:

[Name: Dannika]

[Level: Unknown]

[Stellar Source: Unknown]

[Stellar Source Effect: Under specific conditions, can create temporary or permanent special rules based on personal will.]

“Holy crap! Dannika’s ability is insane! She’s a natural Rule-Weaver!”

“So this is the origin of Law? It looks… sacred…”

“Am I the only one who noticed Tian Dao’s Star-Eclipse Eye glowing? He’s stabilizing her energy!”

The chat exploded across the Dimensional Screen.

The scene shifted to the battlefield outside the Quantum Cube—Chen Kong and the others, now caught in the chaos.

With the Quantum Cube consuming the Brass Gear, the entire Quantum Space had temporarily lost its Quantum Central Authority, the stabilizing force that maintained spatial integrity. The resulting tremors were violent and unpredictable.

Seizing the moment, Chen Kong lunged, catching Vivian—now in a state of Personality Deficit—in his arms. He poured a gentle wave of Stellar Energy into her back.

But the process was far from smooth.

The soft Stellar Energy hit Vivian’s body like a wall of steel. The mechanical personality that now controlled her instantly retaliated, channeling raw energy in a fierce counterattack.

This was a pure test of Stellar Energy strength—and Chen Kong, already weak in this regard, quickly felt overwhelmed.

Just as he was about to collapse, he realized he wasn’t alone.

“Deputy Captain Yu! Hold her! Her mechanical core is resisting my Void Pattern Dust Return!”

Yu Chen gritted his teeth, lifting his injured right arm and locking his fingers around Vivian’s sword wrist.

But almost immediately, he felt the crushing force of her grip.

“No good, Kong—can’t hold her! Her Stellar Energy spike is already near captain-level!”

Before he could finish, Vivian’s hollow eyes flashed crimson.

In a blur, her Second-Hand Dagger vanished from her right hand—only to reform instantly in her left, now a lethal blade aimed straight at Yu Chen’s throat.

At the last possible moment, a golden arm shot out from the side, wrapping around her wrist with iron precision.

The arm belonged to Chen Kong—now transformed into Golden Body form, having used The Dreamer to replicate Liu Ma’s Stellar Source.

Despite still sporting a swollen, battered face from Tian Dao’s earlier beating, he grinned through gritted teeth.

“Vivian! You’re attacking your own ally? You’re insane!”

The shout caused a split-second hesitation. Her eyes flickered with doubt.

But it didn’t last.

The cold, calculating logic of the Mechanical Personality swiftly erased any flicker of hesitation.

Meanwhile, high above in the Quantum Space, a sharp, piercing crack split the sky from the distant horizon.

The Stellar Envoys of the Association looked up.

A pale golden mechanical aircraft tore through the clouds, hovering directly above the Steam Furnace.

The hatch opened.

A figure in a golden mech suit stepped out, landing silently before them.

His armor was etched with complex quantum patterns. On his chest, a green diamond-shaped insignia glowed—clearly marking him as a high-ranking member of the Ironcrown Family and the Mechanical Deity Cult.

He removed his helmet.

A face of flawless, expressionless machinery stared out.

His electronic eyes scanned the group, then settled on the Steam Furnace—obviously malfunctioning.

“Miracle Stone energy fluctuation detected. Activating Level-1 Clearance Protocol.”
