Neurolink System in the Modern World

To make our conversation private, I stop Shao Mi's sense of time first.

With her power restored, it took a little bit more effort, but since she let her guard down with me, I didn't encounter much resistance at all.

This was just normal, even for someone as powerful as her.

I mean, let's be real here.

It's more believable that she got caught in my Isolate Time Stopping ability because she let her guard down, than it was to believe a story where someone powerful enough to fight the god of destruction, shake the entire universe with their fist, only to be taken out by a random laser shot because they dropped their guard.

In a way, my feat was much more believable because I'm not some random mob. I'm pretty sure that if I were in a anime, I'd be the cool MC.

Back to the present.

Mirro struggled to escape my grasp by manipulating the space around my hands, but how could such a trick escape me?

With just a thought, I sealed the space and overrode its control in this room.

Not the entire room was in my area of control. I could release it, and it would be a miracle if it could escape.

I also put a tracker on it, just in case.

"How is this possible? How can your understanding of space be this high?" Mirro protested, finally realizing that its attempts were futile against me.

"You know... I'm something of a Space Expert myself," a grin spread across my face. I was finally able to insert that iconic catchphrase, even mimicking the tone of voice for added impact.

"You're a cheater," it grumbled, resigned to its fate as all hope of escaping faded away.

'Alright, I give up. Please don't kill me,' it finally gave in, recognizing the gap in our abilities.

I couldn't blame him; even I wouldn't test my own patience if I were in its shoes.

If I were to rank myself among fictional characters, I'd be pretty high up in terms of danger and instability.

"Now, give me the juicy stuff, or I'll squeeze you and turn you into juice instead," I warned, grabbing Mirro from both ends, pretending he was a wet cloth in need of a good squeeze.

"Please don't! I'll talk! I'll talk, I will tell you everything!" Mirro pleaded, surrendering to my pressure.

"Good choice," I said, easing the pressure of my grip.

"Our race has this ability to adapt to space. Basically, if we stay in a particular area for a long time, we begin to map it out unconsciously. The more places we explore, the more maps emerge within our bodies. What you're seeing right now is the map of the parts of deep space I have memories of."

"For real?" I exclaimed in shock.

It felt like finding myself a golden goose.

Scratch that! This was way better than a golden goose! This was like finding a platinum goose that could talk!

I stretched him out to see more clearly, and he was right.

"Ouch, ouch! Be careful, or you might rip me apart!" Mirro protested.

"Sorry about that, I got excited," I chuckled aloud. I better treat this thing much better.

Though not visible at first glance, aside from the tiny stars, by enhancing my eyesight to be magnified by 10,000 times, I could also see a lot of planets.

When I tried searching for more, I saw Earth's solar system, with its familiar lineup of planets orbiting around the sun.

"Is this coordinates in real time?" I asked, feeling like an otaku who had just found a new awesome anime to watched.

"Only the near ones. I need to travel to a particular part of space in order to update my mapping," Mirro replied.

"Wow, you're impressive!" I exclaimed.

"Hehehe, you're right. My race is something that everyone wants. However, we are few in numbers, so we are often fought over by gods for possession," It replied with a haughty tone.

"Why are you so proud of being seen as an object?" I asked, showing a confused expression.

"I…" Mirro was speechless.

"Nevermind that. So, how did you get here? I'm pretty sure Zelly wasn't powerful enough to keep such a being like you here. Or is your race incapable of fighting?" I asked.

"That bitch isn't even worthy of my attention. I was trapped here because a god put me in this place to assist this good-for-nothing clan. Did you know that this place is actually one of the most dangerous places in the Universe?" Mirro grumbled, clearly showing how displeased it was.

"Pretty sure that's because of me," I playfully remarked.

"No, that's because Earth is the prison of those Goddamn Architects!" it shouted in annoyance.

'Architect, huh?' I thought to himself. I knew about them. In fact, the one who created me and my system used those beings for my blueprint.

I never really bothered asking that person about those guys because I was too busy with my own stuff back then.

"That's right, those beings are gods that share each other's thoughts. I'm sure they're really pissed being trapped on Earth for so long. If they escaped, the whole universe would be in chaos! They had the ability to destroy this Universe!" Mirro started to talk louder, just to emphasize how dangerous those guys were.

'Destroy the universe?' I almost laugh at its word.

If this thing knew that I destroyed an infinite number of universes on my own just by swinging around a giant weapon, it would 100% kneel down and bow its head like a dog.

"Why are you laughing ?" Mirro asked.

"Why not ? " I responded.

"Did you not hear what I said ? Those beings can destroy the Universe!"

"So?"

"We are literary all trap in this universe with them !"

My smile widened further as I watched it cower like a frightened child.

"You don't understand. I'm not the one trapped here with them," I paused, a smirk playing on my lips.

"They're the ones trapped here with me."
