Imprisonnt, for an Apprentice Death God, hardly counts as a severe punishnt.
Ordinary prisoners need to adhere to strict rules during their sentences, lacking food and clothing while forced to do dirty and exhausting tasks, such as mining in environnts without protection or transporting goods in radiation-filled wilderness.
Thus, most prisoners sentenced to long terms often die from hunger and overwork before their release day.
But Apprentice Death Gods are different; they don't need to labor and aren't tightly regulated, enjoying fully equipped individual cells. If needed, they can even obtain objects to connect to virtual networks—it's almost like a "vacation" with food and accommodation covered.
Yuanbao even thought that if she ever found herself fed up with it, she'd simply find a way to escape.
However, she hadn't expected the tax bureau to foresee this possibility.
How could they let soone who owed ninety million Silver Cannon enjoy a comfortable vacation in prison? What face would the tax bureau have?
As a result, the Nest Capital Tax Bureau took action and sent Yuanbao to the Floating Island Prison.
Here, she was free from any constraint, yet couldn't transcend her social class, nor could she leave or access her beloved Ethernet.
Moreover, her respected Apprentice Death God status was suppressed by the Floating Island's environnt, losing its previous intimidating effect.
Even mortals, when gathered in numbers, could threaten her life.
This was the tax bureau's punishnt for tax evaders.
Initially, Yuanbao's life was indeed tough.
Her initial cell was near the beach, where the terrain was open and the War Gang formidable—she was just a powerless young girl, hence uneasy and nearly lost her life multiple tis to those eyeing her appearance.
However, later, with Mokaka's help, Yuanbao gradually adapted to life on the Floating Island and discovered what she excelled at.
Crafting, forging.
All along, Yuanbao pursued the creation of higher-level items.
The "Information Reconnaissance Chip" crafted for Yun You, though powerful, was rely a piece of police prosthetic body, far from the unimaginable gap of military prosthetic body.
To craft a military prosthetic body, luck, perception, and materials were nearly indispensable.
Unfortunately, except for perception, Yuanbao lacked the other two.
Yet now, on this Floating Island, she had found the materials and luck she dreamt of.
She found the possibility to craft military prosthetic body!
...
"By the way, what exactly do you want to make in the military prosthetic body?"
After listening to Yuanbao's narration, Yun You stroked his chin inquisitively: "Weapons? Armor? Or military equipnt like chas?"
"None of them."
Yuanbao shook her head, speaking softly: "Those equipnt are impressive and practical, yet too common—I won't make those run-of-the-mill things."
"If I'm to make sothing, it'll be the most unique! The most remarkable!"
Having said this, she stood up and headed to the rooftop above, gesturing to Yun You and Tian En to follow.
Yun You and Tian En exchanged puzzled glances, but curiosity drove them to follow her.
On the apartnt rooftop, countless instrunts were placed—mostly boilers for forging and chemical experint stations for purifying substances upon first glance.
Yet, the most striking was a gigantic telescope.
It was fixed with steel cables, aid at a set position.
"Co and take a look."
Yuanbao winked at Yun You.
The young girl hesitated briefly before approaching the telescope and gazing at its pointed direction.
What greeted her eyes was a blood-red scene.
It was the "Corpse Lake" over ten kiloters away...
No, to be exact, it was a glittering crystal in the corner of the Corpse Lake.
"A Reality Stabilizer?"
Yun You squinted slightly, recognizing the crystal.
"You've been observing it?"
Yuanbao nodded.
"Exactly, it is the Reality Stabilizer."
"It's said that the Reality Stabilizer is a 'Divine Object' created by the ancient sages, capable of suppressing anything 'abnormal.'"
"Officially, the Reality Stabilizer solely suppresses mutant creatures and the powers of the Death Domain. But according to my observations... its capabilities seem to surpass these."
Yuanbao paused briefly, then closed her eyes, activating the Power of Sequence within her body.
"Buzz—!"
Instantly, the Death God's Three-Phase Pattern erged on her neck, releasing a Death God aura sensed only by Yun You, slowly drifting along the air and urban lights towards Corpse Lake.
Initially, her aura remained stable, barely fluctuating.
However, as her aura neared Corpse Lake, especially close to that Reality Stabilizer, it imdiately suffered an invisible suppression, fading gradually, ultimately vanishing at around 20 ters from the crystal.
"See that?"
Yuanbao withdrew her power and solemnly stated: "This Reality Stabilizer doesn't just suppress the Death Domain."
"Under specific conditions, it can even suppress the Apprentice Death God's Sequence Power... just that ordinarily nobody ventures near it, hence this discovery remained elusive."
"It's different from re 'Sur Particle Suppressor,' capable of indiscriminately suppressing all 'abnormal' powers, be it Death God Sequence or Soul Ability, whether Death Domain monsters or mutant creatures, none can penetrate the barrier it creates."
"I find it very intriguing."
Saying this, Yuanbao turned and picked a blue-glowing battery from the worktable, muttering: "Consider this."
"If we could miniaturize and modify the Reality Stabilizer to suppress only the enemies' 'abnormal' energies, stabilizing reality, then... how powerful would it be?"
"Think about it..."
Upon hearing Yuanbao's sowhat "arrogant" words, Yun You was montarily stunned.
Yuanbao's hypothesis was indeed exaggerated, even sowhat crazy.
An unconditional opponent-suppressing Reality Stabilizer, just the thought of it, Yun You felt extrely exaggerated.
Power of Sequence is the foundation upon which Death Gods survive.
If Sequence were deprived or nullified, an Apprentice Death God would hardly differ from ordinary people.
This, from a perspective, negates the existence of Apprentice Death Gods.
If extrapolating such thoughts, imagine if this device could be mass-produced, even outfitted for every mortal...
The gap between mortals and Apprentice Death Gods would shrink significantly.
"Very remarkable, isn't it?"
Yuanbao cracked a smile.
"Though achieving it currently demands nurous experints and more theoretical support."
"But that kind of vision is indeed incredible, right?"
