The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Needless to say, Alicia is willing to sacrifice herself to save the world, restrain the Honkai, and as a Herrscher of humanity, she is fully qualified to witness the end of the world."

“That’s true…” The Spring Spirit hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.

"So why haven't you made a move yet?" Chen Li asked.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Alicia said cheerfully.

The real Alicia is still frozen in the crystal as the Crystal Beauty, but this Alicia is not fake either; she is the Alicia that Chen Li summoned using the friend function.

Although Alicia is unconscious, she can still respond to the summons.

“But why don’t you go to the Cocoon of the End alone and then summon them there? After all, they’re all projections of friends except Kevin.” The Spring Spirit tilted its head.

"Hey, it was just a small favor." Chen Li waved his hand.

That's right, not only is Alicia a projection, but Mebius and Velvet are also projections.

Since Mebius and Velvet are not yet Fusion Warriors, close contact with the Cocoon of the End could potentially cause irreversible damage, but the projection is fine. Since a projection's life is only worth one star, it can be wasted at will.

Mebius possesses the Scalpel artifact, Alicia possesses the Black Silk artifact, while Velvet borrowed the right to use the Poké Ball artifact.

Considering that a production line would be needed to mass-produce Poké Balls to supply trainers worldwide, Chen Li plans to lend the right to use the Poké Ball artifacts to Velvet in the long term.

"Fine." The Spring Spirit reluctantly accepted the explanation, then raised the Peace Longbow and poked himself.

Yes, I poked myself.

As the true Herrscher of the Void who originally possessed the Herrscher core in this world, aside from Sirin, the Spring Spirit is closely connected to the End.

The Cocoon of the End is the only imaginary singularity, the only Herrscher core. Its projections across different dimensions cause different Herrscher powers to appear one after another in reality. All Herrschers are merely shadows of the End. The birth of each Herrscher is Honkai embracing reality.

The Cocoon of the End controls everything related to Honkai at the end of the Imaginary Number. All the Herrschers are connected to the Cocoon of the End in some secret way, rather than to the Tree of Imaginary Number.

That is why Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, has greater potential in the Honkai world than she would have in the Honkai world.

Because in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, the Herrscher of the Void is directly connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Guided by the Peace Longbow, the Spring Spirit successfully located the target called the Cocoon of the End, and then reached out to the protective shield surrounding Chen Li and the others.

Just as Huang Quan once shot Chen Li into the [Void], this time the Spring Spirit shot everyone into the Cocoon of the End.

As for why not use palm-sized gloves?

Although the Herrscher of the End did not mention any person's name or reference, the Herrscher is indeed causally connected to the Cocoon of the End and can appear in front of the Cocoon of the End along the causal chain. However, when Chen Li summoned Alicia's projection and said that he intended to go to the Cocoon of the End, Alicia jumped directly onto Chen Li's neck.

It was so fast that Chen Li didn't even have time to stop it.

Moreover, Chen Li felt inexplicably guilty when he thought about how he had devoured all the crystals on the still-sleeping Alicia.

He hoped that when Alicia woke up, she would remember that he had once been willing to let Alicia ride on her neck and would no longer hold a grudge.

It would be best if we could also add some crystal powder.

The Alicia-flavored crystal powder tastes really good!

......

"Whoosh!"

"boom!"

Chen Li and the others successfully arrived in front of the Cocoon of the End.

They arrived at a strange yet magnificent place, where the End Cocoon, with its massive cracks and half-buried in the earth, lay quietly, surrounded by a starry sky.

The Peace Longbow is still quite powerful.

The only problem is that the way they arrived was by plane crash.

As the saying goes, once the arrow is released, there is no turning back. An arrow shot from a peace bow either hits its target or crashes.

"Is this the end?" Mebius asked with great interest as he looked at the large sphere of light before him.

"This is the end." Kevin got up from the ground and looked at the "sphere" with mixed feelings.

And Alicia did indeed feel the inexplicable emotions that arose in her heart when she saw the Cocoon of the End.

"Hey!" Upon seeing the Cocoon of the End, Velvet threw the Poké Ball in her hand.

The Poké Ball hit the Cocoon of the End and bounced off instantly.

Everyone looked at Vervi.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Isn't it only natural to want to capture a rare species?" Velvi shrugged.

"That makes sense, so what's the success rate?" Chen Li asked curiously.

"0%. I'm not sure how many zeros are after the decimal point, but the success rate is displayed," Wilvi said.

As a one-star rare item, as long as you see a success rate when holding a Poké Ball, don't give up easily, even if it's 0%.

Truly uncatchable objects will not display a success rate at all.

Just like when Vilvi was trying to capture Chen Li, the number 0% didn't even appear.

"Alright, enough talk, let's begin the surgery, Mebius. Friends and bonds don't come for free." Seeing the golden light emanating from everyone protected by the circle of friends, Chen Li knew that although the Cocoon of the End hadn't physically attacked the people in front of him, its mere presence here was an attack in itself.

Chen Li shrunk the WeChat Moments terminal to the size of one person and then tossed it to Mebius.

Because when you protect one person in your friend circle, triggering the invincibility effect consumes one friend, but when you protect four people, triggering the invincibility effect consumes four friends.

“I feel that the basic defenses of WeChat Moments are still too weak. Don’t you want to strengthen them? Instead of spending money to make WeChat Moments terminals every time, why not distribute them to more people to enhance the basic defenses of WeChat Moments?” Velvi said.

"Do you think I don't want to? The defense of WeChat Moments isn't based on the number of friends, but on friendship and bonds. The closer the relationship with someone is, the higher the basic defense they provide for WeChat Moments. Distributing WeChat Moments devices to strangers or people I have no connection with is meaningless," Chen Li explained.

"Then go and make more friends."

"I'm already trying my best to make friends! Do you know how difficult it is for someone like me with social anxiety to make friends?"

"Socially anxious? Social terrorist?"

"Don't worry about that. Besides, the basic defense of the Moments system is already quite high. The reason why the Cocoon of the End can break through the defense of the Moments system is because the Cocoon of the End will apply a lot of negative buffs to the surrounding units and then detonate them together," Chen Li said.

The WeChat Moments terminal is not afraid of persistent attacks because as long as the intensity does not exceed a certain standard, it will not break through the defense.

However, accumulating a large number of negative buffs and then detonating them all at once is a different story.

Chen Li never expected that the Cocoon of the End also played Dot.

If my Dot team had had the End of the Cocoon join earlier, we would have already regained a glory that had never existed before!

After losing the protection of her circle of friends, Alicia showed no abnormalities, because Alicia is a Herrscher, how could a Herrscher die from Honkai energy corruption?

Well, it's not impossible.

Chen Li showed no abnormality, because he had consumed enough Honkai Beasts and had extremely high resistance to Honkai energy.

Kevin showed no unusual reaction, because he was even capable of bearing some of the power of the End, let alone simply standing before the End.

"Am I just unlucky?" Velvet complained, already feeling some discomfort under the influence of Honkai energy.

"You're too weak," Chen Li said.

"Then quickly strengthen me, omnipotent Chen Li."

"Even if you say that, there's nothing I can do. But don't worry, Mebius has already learned how to perform the fusion surgery."

“No rush. Mebius wants to fuse with the Snake. Pado wants to fuse with the Cat that can overturn the laws of the world, so I can’t fall behind! Take a look at the items that appear in your house every day and see which ones are suitable for me, then help me strengthen them,” Velvi said.

"No problem." Chen Li nodded.

If that's the case... why not just strengthen all thirteen heroes?

“Alright, I’m about to mail it. But before I die, there’s something I’m curious about,” Velvi said.

"whats the matter?"

"I... I think I can turn the Herrscher of the End into a Poké Ball." Velvet, who was holding the Poké Ball artifact, couldn't help but take two steps toward the Cocoon of the End.

Since Chen Li won't let her perform the magic trick that makes Mu Continent disappear, then Vilvie can perform a magic trick that makes the Cocoon of the End disappear!

"???"

The red and white ball is a ball, and the cocoon of the end is also a ball, right?

Chen Li remembered that the requirements for turning an ordinary sphere into a Poké Ball were not complicated; it just needed to look like a ball. However, the more a Poké Ball resembled a real Poké Ball and the higher the quality of the materials used, the better the quality of the resulting Poké Ball would be.

“I have a feeling that a Poké Ball made from the Cocoon of the End might be able to create a miracle! For example… there might even be a considerable chance of capturing a legendary Poké Ball from a Star God!” Velvi’s eyes shone with endless light as she took another step forward.

"Vilvie, calm down. The Cocoon of the End is for using as a server, not for you to turn into a Poké Ball." Chen Li grabbed Velvie's waist as she was about to move forward.

If Velvet were to actually touch the Cocoon of the End, she might just turn it into a Poké Ball.

What can't a one-star wonder do?

Doesn't Chen Li know about Vilvie, or even about a one-star rare item?

On another note, is it possible to turn Black Marshal (Void Star God) into a Poké Ball?

Chen Li suddenly had a bold idea...

As time passed, when Velvi's projection reached its limit, her body instantly turned into light and dissipated.

"Chen Li, come here quickly, I can't perform surgery on the Cocoon of the End." Möbius, who was trying to approach the Cocoon of the End to perform surgery while holding a circle of friends shield, found that the Cocoon of the End seemed to have put some kind of special protection on him, and Möbius couldn't make the incision at all.

"What? You've got some nerve!" Chen Li was furious when he heard that.

The Cocoon of the End has already consumed four of Chen Li's [friends], and now you're telling me you're even unwilling to let me perform the surgery on you?
