Chapter 535 Conversation

Meros sat quietly on a large sphere, its color contrasting sharply with the surrounding spheres, as if he were asleep, his eyes tightly closed.

This sphere was a size larger than the others, as if it were the center of this space, and Meros was the master of this center.

Meros sat in a very casual posture. One of his legs was slightly bent, with his foot resting on the large ball beneath him, while the other leg hung down naturally, swaying gently as if in rhythm.

One of his hands was resting on his bent leg, supporting his expressionless face, while the other hand was fiddling with a small object. Due to the distance, Lin Xiyue could not see what it was.

At this moment, the lights shone down from behind Meros, like spotlights on a stage, making his figure exceptionally clear.

The black hair had a translucent quality under the light, as if it were not a solid object, but rather made of smoke or gauze.

The lighting effects, combined with his expressionless face, made Meros exude an aura of coldness beyond human comprehension, as if he did not come from this world, but from a distant and cold foreign land.

“…Ah, Amo…?”

Lin Xiyue stood still, hesitated for a moment, and spoke with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

She stared at Meros before her, a nameless fear rising within her.

At this moment, he was completely different from the Meros she knew. His cold indifference, which kept people at arm's length, made her hesitant to speak to him.

Meros had his eyes closed as if he were asleep, but when he heard Lin Xiyue's voice, his eyes slowly opened like a disturbed lake.

"Hmm? Baby, you're here."

His lips curled up slightly, forming a gentle smile, and he spoke softly.

As Meros opened his eyes, the cold, inhuman aura emanating from him vanished as quickly as morning mist.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed back into the Meros that Lin Xiyue knew.

Lin Xiyue looked at Molos in surprise, and her feet involuntarily walked towards him, as if she were being pulled by an invisible force.

"Um...who were you just now...?"

When she reached Meros, she came to her senses and asked hesitantly.

"I was just absorbing energy. You know, I haven't had enough energy lately, so this is all I can do."

Melos didn't seem surprised by Lin Xiyue's question, and he explained frankly.

As he spoke, he slowly opened his palm, showing Lin Xiyue what was in his hand.

It was a grayish-white object, its shape and size somewhat similar to the exotic currency, white crystal, that Lin Xiyue had seen in England before, but not exactly the same.

Its color is darker than white crystal, more like a grayish-white that has been eroded by time.

Since this grayish-white crystal had never appeared before, Lin Xiyue could only say that it "looked" like white crystal.

“Here, this is the black crystal that’s been used up.”

As he spoke, Melos handed the grayish-white crystal in his hand to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue took it curiously and examined it carefully.

This black crystal looked somewhat dull and lifeless, as if it had lost its vitality. Its surface had a grayish-white color, as if it had been eroded by time.

Lin Xiyue gently stroked the black crystal, feeling its texture, and found that it was actually a bit rough, even somewhat like brittle plastic.

She held the black crystal up to her eyes and looked through it in the light, and was surprised to find tiny cracks inside.

These cracks, like a spider web, are spread throughout the interior of the black crystal, making the already dull crystal even more fragile.

Just as she was observing, Meros took out another black crystal from his pocket.

"Hmm... this isn't used yet."

As he spoke, Moros handed the black crystal to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue took the black crystal and was immediately attracted by its peculiarity.

This black crystal is completely different from the previous one; it has a strange, iridescent black feel.

Its overall color is a slightly translucent black, like the deep night sky. However, on this black surface, a layer of iridescent light emerges. These lights, like a rainbow, intertwine, creating a dreamlike visual effect.

When Lin Xiyue placed the black crystal under the light, she was even more amazed.

Different angles will present different polarization effects, just like this black crystal contains endless mysteries, waiting for people to explore.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Meros hadn't told her personally that one of the two crystals had already been used and the other had not yet been activated, Lin Xiyue probably would never have been able to connect the two together.

She stared wide-eyed at the two crystals in front of her in disbelief, never expecting that these two things, which were supposed to be the same, could be so different.

"Can all of these crystals be absorbed?"

Lin Xiyue finally couldn't suppress her inner questions and asked Molos.

"Of course not. Only amethyst and black crystal can be directly absorbed by the human body."

As for other crystals, they contain too many impurities to be directly absorbed, which is why they were used as currency.

Meros smiled and shook his head, patiently explaining.

Before he finished speaking, Moros suddenly stretched out a hand to Lin Xiyue, palm up, fingers slightly bent, as if gesturing for her to place her hand on his.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue did not hesitate at all and almost subconsciously placed her hand gently on Molos's hand.

The moment Lin Xiyue's hand touched Moros, he suddenly exerted force and pulled her into his arms with lightning speed.

This sudden action caught Lin Xiyue off guard, but she did not resist. Instead, she obediently pressed her body tightly against Moros.

Now, the two of them are sitting steadily together on the ball, which is a different color from the other balls.

"Alright, come and take a look."

Meros raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, seemingly full of confidence in what he was about to demonstrate.

"Didn't you have something to ask me before? Actually, I already guessed what you wanted to ask."

His voice was deep and gentle, making people want to get closer and listen.

After saying that, Meros gently patted the ball beneath him.

The ball had been lying there quietly, like a sleeping giant.

However, the moment Meros touched it, it seemed to be awakened and suddenly began to tremble slightly.

As Meros patted the ball, the vibrations became more and more intense, as if it contained endless energy that was being gradually unleashed.
