The sound came from the feather Yu Duchen that had been residing in his body. Because the system automatically blocked the spying of all external biological wills, even the Fu Hua projection consciousness located in Bai Chen's body, Yu Duchen had just taken a nap with the Fu Hua spirit residing within it and had only just woken up.
"What is that in your hand? I sense a familiar aura, but it's not a Herrscher... Wait, aren't you the Herrscher of Void? Why are you now the Herrscher of Reason, and the Herrscher of Void is in your hand?"
Fu Hua's projection sent out a series of questions. Even she had never seen such a strange individual as Bai Chen, and she could not imagine that one person could become several different Herrschers at the same time.
"Just consider it a talent of mine. Fu Hua, do you recognize the Void Worm in my hand?" Bai Chen didn't want to explain the secret of his transformation into a Herrscher.
"No, I've never seen it before. But it gave me a strange feeling, like... waiting for me to possess it."
Chapter 93 Could ten Fu Huas withstand this punch?
Bai Chen never expected that such a change would occur.
However, things are so strange that the Sky Insects have an unexpected compatibility with Fu Hua in the Feather of the Feather.
Although the specific characteristics of the Sky Bug are not yet clear, the spirit of scientific research is to constantly explore the unknown.
Are you sure you can do this?
Bai Chen held a pale red feather in his hand, a fragment of Yu Du Chen, within which resided a wisp of Fu Hua's consciousness. He was slowly bringing the feather closer to the Void Worm in his hand, and the Void Worm, which had remained unresponsive until now, began to wriggle slightly as Yu Du Chen approached.
Although the movement was very slight, it still couldn't escape the eyes of Bai Chen, who was now the Herrscher of Reason.
"This is a wondrous creature. Just as you said, a single cell can house the complete power of a Herrscher, and this cell has no consciousness whatsoever. And the Divine Key that Yu Duchen crafted using the core of the Herrscher of Consciousness is precisely the one that best complements it." Fu Hua's projected voice carried a hint of anticipation.
"It might have unexpected results, so let me in."
When the Feather of Dust came into contact with the Void Insect, the red feather was instantly captured by the golden cell. The golden cell, which was originally just a small one, began to slowly expand after swallowing the Feather of Dust, like a piece of golden soil, and began to move and change.
A sealed, transparent box appeared in Bai Chen's hand, and he put the Void Worm that had undergone changes inside. He couldn't be sure what the worm would become, and if it devoured him as well, then things would be very bad.
However, nothing unexpected happened. After the Sky Insect expanded to about the size of two fists, it completely stopped changing. It seemed to have simply grown a little bigger and remained the same round, golden spherical structure.
"Fu Hua, can you hear me?" Bai Chen asked using his spiritual senses.
“Yes, my consciousness remains perfectly clear. There are no other wills interfering within the Void Worm, and it is now completely under my control,” Fu Hua replied immediately.
"You can control the Void Worm? You can have your own new body?" Bai Chen was taken aback. If Fu Hua could take over the Void Worm's body and transform back into human form, while possessing the complete power of the Herrscher of the Void, then the Void Worm's value would be immeasurable.
Imagine becoming the Herrscher of the Void, completely unaffected by the Honkai will, possessing full self-awareness like Einstein or Dr. May, or Möbius with the power of the Herrscher of Reason, or Velvet with the abilities of a thousand Herrschers...
A mere collapse is nothing to worry about.
"Unfortunately, it's not possible. The objects I can transform into seem to have a fixed size. This current size is the limit I can reach. Transforming into a human body is simply impossible. Moreover, I can't freely use the power of the Herrscher of the Void, as if the exit is blocked."
Fu Hua replied with a hint of regret, saying that she had also considered the possibility that Bai Chen had thought of, but unfortunately, it was still just a possibility and could not become a reality.
“But I seem to have another purpose—Bai Chen, put your hands on my body.”
Bai Chen immediately removed the transparent box and took the Void Worm, which had become Fu Hua, into his hand.
The golden sphere slowly wriggled in Bai Chen's palm, like an octopus extending dozens of golden tentacles until it completely enveloped Bai Chen's entire palm.
The Sky Insect transformed into a golden combat glove, bearing a strong Chinese style. Judging from its design, it was clearly an ancient relic, and a women's style at that. It resembled a pair of gauntlets once worn by Fu Hua.
After the glove was completed, a raised human face appeared on the back of the glove. The face was so detailed that anyone who looked at it at a glance could recognize it as Fu Hua's face.
"It's quite a novel experience, but it feels pretty good." Fu Hua's lips moved on the glove, no longer communicating telepathically, but actually speaking.
Soon, Bai Chen felt a slight stinging pain in his palm, as if a small hole had been pierced and a drop of blood had flowed out. At the same time, something entered under his skin through the small hole, tightly connecting the glove to his body.
A familiar feeling, now lost, returned to Bai Chen: the perception and manipulation of space. This power belonging to the Herrscher of the Void returned to Bai Chen's body through the gloves formed by Fu Hua.
“The Void Worm is an incomplete parasitic life form. It has no consciousness of its own, so it needs to be given a completely new consciousness. It also has no body of its own, so it needs a body to live in,” Fu Hua explained to Bai Chen.
"As a price, and also as compensation, if the host has sufficient ability, they can borrow the power of the Herrscher of the Void from the Void Worm in their body."
After listening to Fu Hua's explanation, Bai Chen waved his hand, which was wearing Fu Hua's gloved hand, in the air, and a spatial wormhole appeared in front of him, with several sub-void spears emerging from within. Although it wasn't as fluid as when he was still the Herrscher of the Void, the slight lag didn't affect Bai Chen's use of it.
"A parasitic life form with the power of a Herrscher, an excellent vehicle for a powerful spiritual entity..." Bai Chen muttered, his gaze on the gloves in his hands growing increasingly intense.
The one currently residing in the Void Worm is not Fu Hua's original will, but a phantom of memories created to reside in the Feather Dust for the needs of battle. If she can attach herself to the Void Worm, is it possible that the backup heroes residing in the Lost Paradise could also become new Herrschers?
Besides, even if that's not possible, with so many feathers, Yu Duchen can still find a dozen or so extravagant projections. He can then have them replace the Herrscher Insects he obtains later, and have them all reside within Bai Chen's body.
With the power of several Herrschers attached to him, one punch from him is equivalent to the simultaneous attack of ten Herrschers of Fu Hua. How many people in this world can withstand Bai Chen's punch?
"Fu Hua, if I find a few more Feather Dust and fuse them all into the Sky Worm, will you be able to strengthen it?"
“I don’t know, I don’t have a similar feeling, but if possible, you could try putting my original consciousness in here,” Fu Hua suggested.
A thought suddenly occurred to Bai Chen: the Herrscher who should have been born soon, an infant reborn from Fu Hua's dead body, the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"Looks like I'll have to figure out a way to trick her into becoming my weapon," the man muttered to himself.
Chapter 94 The Possibility of Artificial Herrschers
The entrance to the World Serpent headquarters is located underground in a desolate plain. The elevator to the entrance is actually a huge rock with various shielding devices that can isolate Honkai energy, mental power, and electromagnetic radar detection. Without someone to guide you, it would be almost impossible to find the location of the entrance.
The steel armor on Bai Chen's body dissipated as he landed. The inspiration for this armor came from a movie Bai Chen had once watched, Iron Man. The protagonist of this movie used a set of external armor that could fly to fight. Bai Chen used the Herrscher of Reason's ability to create everything to create a similar set for himself.
He had just landed at the entrance of the headquarters research lab when Dr. Mei, holding a golden doll, eagerly approached him.
"Where exactly did you find it? This is absolutely a miracle in the history of biology. If it weren't right in front of me, I would never have believed that a Herrscher could exist."
The doll in Mei's hand was not an inanimate object; it had the exact same appearance as the Crimson Kite Immortal and sat quietly in Dr. Mei's hand. In fact, it was a remnant of the Crimson Kite Immortal's will, a fragment of a feather from Feather Crossing Dust, which fused with the Sky Insect to become what it is now.
On that day at the football field, Bai Chen merged the phantom of Fu Hua's consciousness from the Feather Crossing Dust into the Void Worm, and put on the Void Worm gloves that could freely change shape.
After conducting various tests, Bai Chen confirmed the performance of the "Fu Hua Void Insect." The Fu Hua Void Insect can form a massive arm armor that covers Bai Chen's shoulder blades, and when used in conjunction with him, it can unleash approximately two-thirds of the power of the Herrscher of the Void. Its defensive capabilities are extremely high; at least an A-rank Valkyrie's attack cannot break through the arm armor, and ordinary attacks are ineffective.
In addition, the Void Worms can transform into any form, but all of this is conditional upon contact with a living being. Once separated from a living organism, the Void Worms' vitality and mobility will decrease, and even Fu Hua cannot control their movement. Moreover, the living being in contact with should ideally have Honkai energy adaptability; the stronger the Honkai energy adaptability, the greater the power it can unleash.
After confirming the characteristics of the Sky Insect, Bai Chen brought it to Dr. Mei, since Dr. Mei was more reliable in terms of biotechnology and genetics.
"How's the research going?" Bai Chen asked.
"It went very smoothly. Because Kevin preserved a lot of key research equipment, I was able to recreate what you wanted in just a few days." Dr. Mei held the Fu Hua Sky Insect in her hands and led Bai Chen to the back of the research room.
As they walked, Dr. Mei anxiously asked, "I won't ask you where you found the Void Worm. I just want to know if you'll be able to obtain similar creatures in the future?"
"Okay." Bai Chen nodded slightly. The system's mission rewards were very logical. If he simulated becoming other Herrschers, he would probably receive different single-celled worms as mission rewards.
"That's great! Our future has gained another new possibility."
Arriving at a sealed, airtight door, after fingerprint and iris verification, a small but fully equipped incubation room came into Bai Chen's view.
This is a biological incubation room, with five or six huge culture tanks around it. Deformed monsters float in the tanks, their limbs vaguely discernible, with bizarre tumors growing on various parts of their bodies. One of them even has 17 floating hearts, with eyes and reproductive glands growing on them.
These are all failed biological experiments. Although each of these failed experiments emits powerful Honkai energy fluctuations, they are merely mindless inanimate objects. Although their flesh and blood still possess biological activity, they can never become intelligent life forms with self-awareness.
In the largest culture tank in the center of the room, there was a small, slender, yet graceful, special experimental subject.
It looks like a ray from the deep sea, its whole body is silvery white, with purple, gold and blue stripes in the middle, making it look as beautiful as if it is carrying starlight.
The Honkai energy emanating from it surpasses that of ordinary tank-class Honkai Beasts, even reaching the level of an A-rank Valkyrie or higher. Moreover, the nature of the Honkai energy is particularly unique, imbued with the essence of a Herrscher. This is the prototype that Bai Chen had Dr. Mei cultivate for him. It was a Honkai Beast familiar that he finally created after hundreds of failures using the power of a Herrscher.
More than a month ago, Bai Chen had already begun to try to grant the power of the Herrscher of the Void to a special Honkai Beast, creating his own familiar to replace Benares, a subordinate of the Queen of the Void, Sirin.
However, because he was unfamiliar with Honkai, he didn't make any new progress until two days before a month later.
Relying on the Herrscher of Reason's abilities, Bai Chen was inspired by the Void Worm and overcame the problem of how Honkai energy could be fused with living beings, successfully creating a fragile little Honkai Beast.
This is an extremely fragile Honkai Beast. Although its Honkai energy level is not low, it is almost impossible for it to survive alone outside. Even the lowest-ranking assassins can defeat it. However, it has its own special characteristics: it contains a portion of the power of the Herrscher of Reason and even possesses simple intelligence, capable of creating a wheeled vehicle to lie on and glide along.
Although this fragile creature did not meet Bai Chen's initial purpose, it was, after all, the first Honkai Beast with Herrscher powers that Bai Chen had created. He did not abandon it, but gave it a name and handed it over to Dr. Mei for cultivation along with the Void Worm.
"You've already injected the bodily fluids extracted from the Void Worm into the Naga's body?" Bai Chen looked at the special Honkai Beast Naga in the cultivation tank and asked with some doubt, "It doesn't seem to have changed much."
"Just as you requested, with Fu Hua's help, I successfully extracted a drop of biological tissue containing the power of the Herrscher of the Void from within the Void Worm and injected it into Naga's body. And as you guessed, Naga successfully absorbed a portion of the Herrscher of the Void's power and underwent a brief evolution." Dr. Mei pressed several buttons on the control panel near the culture tank, retrieving the surveillance footage from the tank to show Bai Chen.
"Although it can only cause a slight distortion in space, it does have the ability to control space. Bai Chen, you have succeeded. You have found the right path. Relying on the special characteristics of the Void Worm, perhaps you really can create a super creature with the abilities of all 13 Herrschers."
Chapter Ninety-Five: The Naga Drinking Milk
Bai Chen carefully watched the recording of the experimental test on Naga. This Honkai Beast, which he had endowed with Herrscher abilities, did indeed simultaneously demonstrate the power of both the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Void.
The Void Worm, as a biological Herrscher core, has its internal biological tissues processed by Dr. Mei into a special liquid Stigmata that can only be used by Honkai Beasts or Necromancers. This Stigmata possesses extremely strong corrosive and assimilative properties, and no Valkyrie can withstand its corrosive effects, but it is just right for the Honkai Beast Naga.
Unfortunately, because he was not yet proficient in the creation of Honkai Beasts and made many mistakes during the creation process, Naga was still a very weak Honkai Beast. Bai Chen was not even sure if it had its own consciousness, so he could only place it in Dr. Mei's incubation tank to cultivate it and observe its progress.
“World Serpent should have a lot of culture media for Honkai Beasts. You’d better do your best to cultivate Naga and see if you can push her to her limit. Even if she can’t break through her limit and become the ultimate Honkai Beast we envision, the data accumulated from her will be far more valuable than any other research results.” After confirming Naga’s condition, Bai Chen turned and left the biological breeding room.
"Of course, I will do my best to nurture Naga. Herrschers have absolute control over their Honkai Beast Families, and if a special Herrscher like you can create a Honkai Beast powerful enough to surpass the Judgment level, or even possess special properties, enough to face a Herrscher, our hope of ultimately defeating the End will greatly increase." Dr. Mei, of course, also knew the significance and research value of Naga.
"I think we should add a new rank above the Judgment rank, one that can single-handedly fight against the Honkai Beasts of an entire planet, possessing power equal to or even surpassing that of a Herrscher. Let's call it the Planetary rank..."
The airtight door of the biological incubation room closed, and all the lights went out, returning to the initial silence and darkness. However, a faint golden light appeared in this darkness. Floating in the pale blue culture medium, the seemingly mindless little Honkai Beast Naga suddenly opened a crimson-gold vertical pupil on its flat body.
The six pupils in the vertical pupil darted around, seemingly vying for territory. In the end, the largest pupil found a suitable spot, looking in the direction where the airtight door of the incubation room was closed.
A rustling sound came from somewhere and quickly echoed throughout the entire secret room. The sound was like the sharp cry of a newborn baby, but with a special tone, as if it were chanting something.
The alarms and monitoring facilities in the room showed no abnormalities. Although Dr. Mei possessed knowledge ahead of her time, the instruments and equipment she could use were still just ordinary items manufactured in this era.
Spatial fluctuations rippled within the culture tank, and a tiny tentacle emerged from the Naga's body, crossing the spatial barrier and inserting itself into the culture tank containing the failed specimens.
The tentacles expand and contract, like straws sucking sweet juice, and the baby's cries gradually become more excited, while the open vertical pupils slowly close with satisfaction.
Everything returned to peace.
Bai Chen has not reactivated the Void Worm, so he no longer has his former spatial perception and is unaware of what is happening behind him. He and Dr. Mei are heading to another experimental area, which is one of the main purposes of his trip.
As I passed an open room, I heard the sounds of a video game console and Fischl's signature laughter. Because she was researching coordinates to reach the world of Teyvat, Fischl had been staying at the World Serpent's research facility. It seemed she was doing quite well, even able to play video games in broad daylight.
As her summoners, the Arlene sisters hadn't left their house for three days. In order to make up for their lack of knowledge as soon as possible and lay a good foundation for their future studies, Bai Chen borrowed a devilish instructor from Destiny who was in charge of training the young Valkyries recruited for the Valkyrie Squad, and assigned this instructor a very heavy teaching task.
It is said that in just a few days, Rosalia's IQ has even improved. Her little brain, which was always unused and had become a bit rusty, has finally shown new promise under Bai Chen's tyranny.
As for the cost... it's nothing more than a little bit of pain.
Mei noticed Bai Chen's strange expression as he looked at Fischl's room. Thinking of her ally's peculiar hobby, she coughed lightly twice: "We have confirmed the location of the Teyvat world and captured its coordinates in the Sea of Quanta. In another day or two, after we finish dealing with the World Serpent, Kevin and I will go to Teyvat with you."
"This child will return to her original world tonight. Let her have some fun before she dies down." The woman smiled slightly. She really liked Fischl, a child who was so imaginative and energetic.
"How gentle, Dr. Mei." Bai Chen didn't really intend to do anything to Fischl. He just suddenly thought of a question: could Fischl's Eye of God be embedded in the Void Worm, or could the Naga swallow it to become an additional power source for it?
Perhaps if he went to Teyvat, he could collect some Eyes of God. There's an island called Inazuma in that world, and its ruler, General Raiden, has a statue inlaid with Eyes of God. He could send Raiden Mei to steal it. As the Herrscher of Thunder, who can control lightning and magnetic fields, she should have an overwhelming advantage against General Raiden, who also uses lightning.
Gather materials, devour resources, and bring everything together to create weapons that were previously impossible to create. Then, aim those weapons at the Honkai Will until the world completes the test of all the Herrschers. Bai Chen doesn't have any moral fastidiousness about not being able to rob; for him, as long as it's something he wants, he'll always find a way to get it.
Without disturbing Fischl, who was happily engrossed in the game world, the group arrived at the experimental field located further below the base.
