Cores.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ZHI LI!!!" Lian Hua ran away from the explosions that were happening around her, she was so startled she could not even look around correctly, she felt like the world itself was about to come down and destroy her entirely, this was something she had never felt before, even when she met her master Previous Assassination Leader, Peak Overlord that could destroy entire worlds she didn't feel this fearful.
"You know how much time i have spent to get what you have right now?" The Cold Voice that belonged to Alex came out from space, Alex stepped out from shattered space and looked at Lian Hua, was someone to kill innocent people but when he found out something he could use to accomplish his goals, and when he saw it was given to someone for free he could not hold the anger in and didn't kill her. he was someone that always accomplished what he wanted but now what he wanted to do he did... Alex thought this and felt like he was extremely angry, Alex looked at Lian Hua and thought how unbelievably much work he did to gain the Core, he worked so much it would not be able to express in words, he worked around the place flew around thousands of kilometers in a matter of minutes, he worked so much his body felt like shit, and he felt like he was being punished for it, he was not someone that didn't know hard work but this was too much, he needed the Core and he would get it, it didn't matter if he had to steal from someone that was chosen as well as Core itself it chose Lian Hua but he worked so much he didn't want to give it up...
"I do not know what are you---" Lian Hua gasped as Alex pulled her through, she wanted to resist by using her powers but Alex was not someone she could even touch by unleashing her absolute powers not to say now when she bearly had any guard up and was taken by surprise, She looked at him.
"Put it down," demanded Alex.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!" Lian Hua's eyes burned with a mix of humiliation and ferocious rage as she exploded with an immense power that even surprised Alex, who was now close to her.
"Hmm?" Alex noticed her power surging, possibly surpassing even that of a Peak Overlord. Unfazed, he flew back.
But he was not startled at all.
"Zhi Li, you have defeated me before, but now i am someone you can not even touch, i have gained power more than what you can imagine, i gained the power to dominate the entire world, make sure to come under me as a subordinate and i will make sure---" Before Lian Hua finished her arrogant talk Alex appeared to disappear from her sight, she was shocked and looked around but...
"Who do you think you are." Next to her ear, there was a cold voice appearing, a cold voice and feeling that she was about to die and in a moment...
BZSSTTT!!!
"AGHHGHGGHHHHHHHH!!!" Lian Hua yelled out as she felt something piercing her.
"WHAT IS TH---" She didn't have time to do anything but dodge.
"Bow down to you?!! I do not have time for this, put the Core in my hands or i will make you put it." Alex appeared to be extremely cold, all his playful aptitude disappeared like it never appeared before.
"You---" Before Lian Hua could say anything core flew out by itself.
"Hey, my name is Mei Yan. I wonder if you meant me when saying 'Core,'" Mei Yan said, appearing as a young girl munching on an apple.
Alex looked at the scene, and his expression changed.
"Botoz, is this what I think it is?" Alex sought confirmation.
"Yes... Looks like the World Absolute Treasure has gained intelligence after all this time, absorbing energy from the universe. That also means..." Botoz began, but Alex completed the thought.
"It means we cannot take her by force." Alex sighed and withdrew his aura.
When a treasure gained intelligence, it transformed into a normal living being, complete with control over its powers. Enslaving such a treasure was futile, as their intelligence would resist any attempt to fully control them. While Alex had previously defeated Lian Hua, he now realized the situation had changed.
"Fuck... Fuck... Fuck..." Alex assessed the situation.
"Lian Hua, you're lucky. Treat the treasure well. You'll need it in the future. I will entrust it to you," Alex declared before departing, leaving Lian Hua in utter confusion.
"What just happened?" Lian Hua was perplexed.
"He realized he would not be able to do anything if I wanted to keep my powers in check. So, he just gave up. NOW PLEASE LET GO PLAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG WHILE THAT I'VE BEEN OUTSIDE," Mei Yan expressed extreme excitement, reveling in the beauty of the environment.
Still bewildered, Lian Hua could do nothing more than nod.

"Master, we could have sealed the Treasure and unsealed it when we reached the absolute peak of power," Botoz expressed his discontent. They had invested considerable effort to find the treasure, and now it had chosen someone else.
"Forget it... let's go," Alex said, flying back to the sect. They had gained significantly from the World Absolute Treasure. Only a few things remained on Alex's to-do list, but those could wait. He had something in mind for now.
"Stats," Alex commanded, finally revealing his statistics.
