After collapsing onto the bed with a bitter expression, Gu Yu released the Aurora Veil and then actively channeled Honkai energy into the Stigmata.

With a moment of disorientation, the scenery before his eyes changed.

Upon arriving inside the Stigmata Space, he immediately sought out Dr. Magi, who was busy working within the space, and inquired about Su's recent health condition.

"Oh, you mean Mr. Su?"

After hearing Gu Yu's purpose, Dr. Maki, who was in the laboratory, spoke to Gu Yu with a solemn expression.

"The situation is not good."

"According to you, as a fusion warrior, he should have been incredibly resilient. But for the past 1,500 years, this person has been constantly using the Second Divine Key, [Thousand Worlds One Journey], to observe the possibilities of other worlds."

"In other words, he used the Divine Key continuously for 1,500 years. Under such circumstances, his body would have long been ravaged by Honkai energy."

"And the fatal wound he suffered that day was clearly the last straw that broke the camel's back. Forget about regaining consciousness; now, if you even dare to let him leave this sacred site..."

Seeing the hesitant expression on Dr. Magi's face, Gu Yu repeated Dr. Magi's words.

"Do you dare let him leave this sacred mark?"

"You're going to die. Don't even think about it. There's no hope."

Wow, is it that serious?

Looking at Danzhu and Cangxuan, who were also shaking their heads repeatedly, Gu Yu felt completely overwhelmed.

Dr. Maki, Danzhu, and Cangxuan are researchers whose abilities are beyond question.

If even the three of them think Su is basically beyond saving, then this unlucky guy who worked himself to the bone for humanity is probably really doomed.

Out of compassion, Gu Yu did not want a soldier to end up in such a miserable state.

Logically, the data Su obtained after carrying out the "Hengsha Project" should be of great help to humanity in this era.

But now...

"Of course, there are ways. However, I personally do not recommend using this method."

Seeing Gu Yu's conflicted expression, Maki gritted her teeth and finally decided to reveal her solution.

"Kid, there's something I forgot to tell you. Some time ago, after Himeko condensed her Herrscher core, she created a katana called [Jizo Mitama]..."

Ah, it's here. In a sense, this is the strongest item in the Honkai world.

It's a pity it's not very useful to me. What exactly was Dr. Magee trying to say when she mentioned this Divine Key...?

"What I mean is—take out the core of Jizo Mitama, and then put the Herrscher core into Su's body."

"what?!"

"When I was colluding with Otto, I played an important role in the [Artificial Herrscher Project]. In other words, if I had a Herrscher Core and a suitable candidate, I could also create an artificial Herrscher."

At that moment, Dr. Magee's eyes inevitably revealed a sharp glint.

"As long as Su becomes the [Herrscher of Corruption], his body will definitely be strengthened. And after his body is strengthened, getting through the dangerous period will naturally not be a problem. The problem is, can he, who is physically and mentally exhausted, resist the corruption of Honkai and continue to maintain his human consciousness..."

"No, Doctor, let's put aside the issue of inhumanity for now. I don't think this method is appropriate."

Recalling the memories in her mind, Gu Yu said helplessly.

"You may not know this, but the twelfth Herrscher of the previous era, the Herrscher of Corruption, was just an ordinary little girl when she first appeared."

"She has the energy fluctuations of a Herrscher, but as for physical enhancements... a Herrscher who can be killed by ordinary soldiers has no physical enhancements whatsoever."

"Leaving aside the other Herrscher cores for now, if you choose the core of the Herrscher of Corruption and insert it into Su's body, I think there is a high probability that Su's body will not be strengthened much, but will instead have its consciousness eroded by the core of the Herrscher of Corruption."

"So let's just forget about this idea."

Listening to Gu Yu's analysis, Dr. Maki sighed deeply.

He felt both regret and a sense of relief.

But in the next second, he immediately thought of a solution.

"Erosion Herrscher core won't work... Kid, do you have any other pseudo-Herrscher cores?"

"The pseudo-Herrscher is not very strong as a Herrscher, which conversely makes Su more likely to resist corruption. He needs to get through this most dangerous moment now, and the core of the pseudo-Herrscher is indeed more suitable for him than the real Herrscher."

Do you think I'm a blue raccoon dog?

When did the Herrscher Core become such a common, readily available item that I can just have whenever I want?

Gu Yu initially wanted to reprimand Maki, but then he changed his mind.

Ah, back then, in the third world bubble of the Sea of ​​Quanta, I not only obtained Welt's core in that world bubble, but also took away Sirin's core from his body.

The cores of the Herrscher of Void and the Herrscher of Reason within that world bubble clearly did not reach their original strength.

There really is one?

After drawing out the card that sealed the pseudo-Herrscher of the Void, Gu Yu materialized the core and handed it to Dr. Magi.

"...There really is one?"

Dr. Magi, who had given up hope and only mentioned it casually, had a change in expression the moment she saw the Herrscher Core in Gu Yu's hand.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's just a pseudo-Herrscher core, nothing valuable."

After tossing the core to Maki, Gu Yu suddenly spoke solemnly to Dr. Maki.

“Doctor. And there are our ancestors Cangxuan and Danzhu. I know this method is inhumane, and Mr. Su may not be willing to become a Lawyer. But his situation is critical right now, so I think…”

"It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Let's survive first and then think about what to do next."

As for safety within the Sacred Mark Space...

Even if Su is corrupted by the consciousness of the Collapse and starts to cause destruction, the combat power in the Holy Mark Space is enough to suppress him in no time.

Putting everything else aside, Cecilia and Ji Lin together could probably suppress even a genuine single-core Herrscher of the Void. If Su really goes mad, then these two could also subdue him.

"If Mr. Su has any complaints after he wakes up, tell him that I was the one who did it."

"It was my willfulness that led him to become a Herrscher."

Chapter 413. What do you think of Kiana?

"Tch, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing the struggle and reluctance on the boy's face, Dr. Magee said in an annoyed tone.

"I was the one who came up with this bullshit idea, and I was also the one who carried out this bullshit plan."

"If Mr. Su is really dissatisfied at that time, then I will naturally be the one in charge. What he does to me is his business. As long as he is still human at that time, I will give him my life."

"You don't need to rush to take the blame, this has nothing to do with you."

"in addition--"

After taking a memory chip out of his white coat, Dr. Magi tossed it into Gu Yu's hands.

"Highsmith has already compiled the data on the World Serpent's branch base, and she asked me to pass it on to you. As for the other data on Project Stigmata, it won't be analyzed so quickly."

"I understand. Then I'll leave the rest to you."

Hearing Gu Yu's words about leaving, Dan Zhu couldn't suppress her longing and asked Gu Yu a question.

"Chi Yuan... Hua, is she doing well out there?"

"Is she alright for now?"

Recalling everything that happened in the timeline, Gu Yu spoke to Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan, whose faces were full of worry.

"Don't worry. Even if she's injured and loses her memories, she's still one of the strongest people in the world. Unless something unexpected happens, very few people can take her down."

"The problem is, the world is full of accidents..."

After muttering something under his breath, Danzhu still didn't ask any further questions.

Unlike all the members of the Snow Wolf Squad and Ji Lin, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were broken souls attached to the seal.

Since their last meeting at the hospital, neither of them has recovered from the damage.

Although the two were willing to die for their best friend Chi Yuan, it's clear that things haven't reached that point yet.

Rather than risking their lives to see her now, the two of them would rather stay in the Stigmata Space, assist Maki with scientific research, and do their best to fight against the Honkai.

They knew very well that their best friend would never let the collapse go unchecked.

If they can fight against the Honkai here, then Chi Yuan will at least have less pressure when fighting against the Honkai in the outside world.

With this thought in mind, Cang Xuan spoke to Gu Yu with an indifferent expression.

"That girl has a really wild personality. If possible... I hope you can keep a close eye on her."

"I'll try my best. If possible, I certainly don't want the heroes who fought against the Honkai in the previous era to die in this era."

The condition is that she doesn't use Feather Dust on me again. The feeling of having my body taken away is awful, and I don't want to experience it again.

After saying these words, Gu Yu returned to reality.

Afterwards, he got out of bed, looked at the pitch-black memory in his hand, and immediately left the room.

With final exams approaching, everyone in the dormitory who needed to attend school was at the university...

Theoretically, that's how it should be.

However, theory is one thing, but in reality, only Mei and Seele went to the school.

Needless to say, Kiana skipped class again today, which was incredibly reckless of her.

Because Yuno was preparing for the A-rank Valkyrie exam, Theresa granted Yuno special permission not to go to school—since she had already finished her final exams ahead of schedule and received almost perfect scores, it didn't matter whether Yuno went to school or not.

As for Bronya, she told Theresa that she had important matters to attend to and requested a few days off.

Given that Bronya's academic performance and combat record were both satisfactory, Theresa naturally approved her leave.

After arriving at Bronya's room, Gu Yu gently knocked on the door.

"Bronya, are you free now?"

"have……!"

After hearing a series of crisp keyboard clicks, the door in front of Gu Yu opened.

Then he saw Bronya ask him a question with an indifferent expression.
