Then the entire treasure vault returned to tranquility, leaving only ribbons and petals on the ground as witnesses to the absurd performance just now.
The King of Absurdity put away the magic hat, looking a bit embarrassed:
"Uh, this magic still needs more practice..."
"Alright, alright!"
He waved his hand, and the vault returned to its original state.
"Time’s almost up! You should be on your way!"
Ron looked at this mysterious and unfathomable being, and a question welled up in his mind.
"Your Majesty, I want to know, why did you design so many traps and tests in the vault?"
This question suddenly made the King of Absurdity’s expression become serious.
That half-smiling, half-crying face now became profound like the sea.
"Because, young man..."
His voice lost its previous madness:
"In this increasingly insane world, fewer and fewer people are able to maintain their sanity."
The eyes of the King of Absurdity slowly moved between Ron and Eve.
"I have seen too many geniuses fall because of power, and too many wise men sink due to temptation."
"When desire begins to dominate reason, when impulsiveness replaces thought, when short-sighted greed shields long-term wisdom..."
"At that time, even the strongest power will only become a tool of destruction."
As he said this, the King of Absurdity’s expression suddenly reverted to its typical insane demeanor.
The switch was so fast, like a face-changing performance:
"So!"
He opened his arms in an exaggerated gesture as if embracing the sky:
"Remember my words: Never take things too seriously! Taking them seriously means you lose! Hahaha!"
The crazy laughter echoed through the treasure vault:
"When the world goes mad, the madmen are the sane ones!"
"When everyone is chasing the so-called ’right answer,’ those who dare to question everything are truly awake!"
"When seriousness becomes a shackle, when reason turns into a dogma, when wisdom is packaged as authority..."
"Then, only absurdity can break these false constraints!"
...
When Ron and Eve left the vault, the magnificent Teleportation Gate slowly closed.
The light gradually dissipated, and everything returned to silence.
In the spherical space, the King of Absurdity’s half-human, half-octopus body suddenly stiffened like a machine losing power.
That half-smiling, half-crying face lost all expression and became as rigid as a sculpture.
The octopus tentacles drooped lifelessly, showing no signs of life.
A moment later, a slight tearing sound was heard.
From behind the stiff body of the King of Absurdity, a giant three-headed rabbit slowly emerged.
Its movements were like a zipper being unzipped, splitting that body in half.
Revealing the hollow internal structure, like a finely crafted puppet.
Exactly the largest Magic Rabbit in the performance just now.
"Phew... Finally over."
All three of the rabbit’s heads sighed simultaneously, their voices filled with deep fatigue:
"Playing the host is always so tiring, controlling expressions, controlling tone, and remembering those complex philosophical theories..."
It used a front paw to wipe nonexistent sweat off its forehead:
"But this performance should be considered successful overall.
The young man saw through my tricks, yet still cooperated to complete the whole process."
The rabbit began tidying up the scattered "King of Absurdity" body parts on the ground, its movements so skillful it seemed to have done it countless times:
"Why is the master always so troublesome? Clearly, things could be given to them directly, but he insists on creating all these winding tests and trials..."
It shook its three heads, eyes showing a puzzled expression:
"And those additional gifts, the master prepared them long ago yet insisted they be ’accidentally spit out’ from me to hand them over..."
"I really can’t understand the thoughts of these ancient beings, every action has eighteen layers of meaning."
The rabbit stood up and began patrolling the vault.
Those strange exhibition platforms greeted it, evidently it held considerable authority there:
"I hope the master’s judgment is correct."
"I hope this timeline is salvageable."
"I hope... the true absurdity can conquer desperate madness."
After these sentiments, the three-headed rabbit transformed back into the seemingly harmless magic prop.
It hopped back into the black top hat, awaiting the next moment of Summoning.
