Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

Su finally concluded, "The only way to conceal the Honkai energy emanating from you is to hide it from Ai Yue."

"What are we going to do?"

Kevin sighed and accepted Sue's suggestion, "Should I wait for you to come over?"

Kevin knew Su very well. Since the other party had proposed this idea, he must be confident that he could do it.

"That's not necessary,"

Su said calmly, "I'm already doing this."

Before Kevin could react, Qianjie suddenly made an irritated sound, twisting his body and slapping his clothes with his hands, as if something strange had stained him. "Hey, whoever was talking in my head, did you do this?"

"Thousand Tribulations, right?"

Su seemed a little surprised, perhaps because he hadn't expected someone's consciousness to be so sharp. "This is just a kind of... protection, a means to protect you from being discovered by Ai Yue. Just bear with it."

"what have you done?"

Kevin looked at Qianjie's reaction in confusion, then looked down at himself, "Why don't I feel anything?"

"It should be some kind of spiritual interference..."

Eden frowned and said, as a psychic-sensing fusion warrior, she had some awareness of this. "Is this Doctor Su's ability?"

"Yes, this is a new way of using my abilities that I developed after receiving inspiration from Ai Yue."

Su smiled and said, "Through this sharing of abilities, I can temporarily seal the energy fluctuations in your bodies. This way, Ai Yue will no longer be able to sense you."

"Will this affect the battle?"

Kevin first considered the issue of combat effectiveness. "After all, this is still a battlefield. We might encounter Honkai beasts at any time."

"Don't worry, the Honkai Beast won't be able to sense you for a while."

Su responded, "However, without the support of relevant equipment, it would be difficult for me to support it for too long by myself, so it is best to make a quick decision."

"Who doesn't want a quick resolution?"

Alicia sighed, "But we've just gotten back on the same starting line with Ai Yue."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Although they could imagine that the plan would not go smoothly before setting off, it was indeed not a comfortable experience to be manipulated by others from the time they set off to the time they landed and until now.

"Look at it from a bright side. At least we haven't become the guides of the Herrscher without knowing what we are doing."

Kevin tried to boost morale. "But then again, if Ai Yue can really rely on energy fluctuations to determine our location, then there's no reason why he can't find the factory, right?"

"Both the factory and the Light Star Experimental Base have a special energy shielding coating on the outside. This coating can ensure that more than 95% of the energy fluctuations are blocked inside the factory."

Prometheus said, "With such protective equipment, combined with Australia's own Houkai energy concentration, it is enough to ensure the concealment of the factory."

"Have you prepared so early?"

Dr. Mei couldn't help but frown. "Could it be that Ai Yue has been preparing for this day long ago?"

The Light Star Experimental Base was built before the Atla Collapse. In other words, Ai Yue was likely preparing for this day shortly after the Eighth Herrscher appeared. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to design such a thing for the factory and the Light Star.

"According to Dr. Ai Yue, it was initially intended to prevent wandering Honkai beasts from being attracted by the Honkai energy of the factory, thus causing unnecessary losses."

Prometheus nodded. "But normally, every factory has a certain number of drones as a defense system, so I also think that Dr. Ai Yue's arrangement has a deeper meaning."

"Anyway, now is not the time to dwell on this matter,"

Alicia quickly changed the subject and asked, "What should we do next?"

"I have done my best to locate the area where Dr. Ai Yue destroyed the factory."

Prometheus asked, "Should we go and investigate?"

"Can,"

Kevin nodded and looked at Alicia beside him, "However, I still suggest that we split the troops into two groups."

Alicia instantly understood what he meant: "We need someone to find the location of the Star of Light, right?"

"Yes, the Star of Light experimental base is Australia's last line of defense. I believe that finding the location of the Star of Light and ensuring its safety is the top priority at the moment."

Kevin nodded and said, "Alicia, I want you and Eden to complete this task."

"So what are you going to do?"

Dr. Mei asked, "Even if we count all of us, we might not be a match for Ai Yue. Now, can we really do it with just the three of you?"

"Don't worry, it's just reconnaissance, not a direct battle."

Kevin nodded, indicating that he was aware of the danger involved. "Even if we can't defeat Ai Yue, it's not difficult to escape unscathed. Besides, it's not certain whether we can find him."

"I agree with Kevin's plan."

Ying added, "Before we officially start the war, we must understand Ai Yue's strength. Without sufficient intelligence to support it, we won't be able to formulate a real battle plan."

"In that case, then I really have no reason to object."

Seeing that the other party's reason was reasonable, Dr. Mei sighed and stopped trying to stop him. "Until everyone is here, you must remain calm. Do you understand?"

In Ai Yue's plan, it is impossible to defeat the Herrscher by relying solely on the fusion warriors. Therefore, before the parts that others are responsible for are completed, the absence of any one person may cause the outcome of the plan to tilt in an unknown direction.

"Don't worry, this isn't my first time on a mission."

Kevin smiled and nodded, then looked at Ying and Qianjie beside him, "Then let's just separate here."

In this way, the group was divided into two groups and headed in different directions.

However, they did not know that their figures were still clearly visible to the enemy.

Chapter 91 Where did you hide my brain?

In the dim room, the image displayed on a display screen suddenly changed.

It looked like some kind of radar detection image, showing several flashing red spots against a background of concentric circles.

These red spots of light were originally gathered together, but just now, they split into two different teams and moved in different directions.

"Oh, these people are quite capable."

Someone in the room laughed disdainfully. "No, strictly speaking, this should be a trick left by 'me', right? I'm such a tough enemy myself."

As he slowly approached the screen, a face that Kevin and the others were very familiar with finally emerged in the dim light - it was Ai Yue's face.

But now, the smile on his face was completely different from the one he had in the past - it was a smile full of contempt and disdain that Ai Yue would never show to others.

If people who are familiar with Ai Yue see this scene, they will easily understand that the person who is currently controlling this body is not the Ai Yue they know.

Born from Ai Yue's soul is the consciousness of the Herrscher. The person in front of us can probably be called "Herrscher Ai Yue".

"What a pity. I had expected this."

Herrscher Ai Yue muttered to himself, "Although Honkai Beasts don't have brains, they're still quite capable as a tool. They don't need food or oxygen. As long as they have enough energy, they can stay motionless underground for a long time. Really impressive."

Since he was born from Ai Yue's consciousness, the Herrscher Ai Yue is very familiar with his own style of doing things. Knowing that his sensing ability would not always be useful, he prepared countermeasures in advance.

The commander of the Honkai Beast carried an instrument that could sense biological reactions and ambushed underground not far from Kevin and the others. In this way, even if the opponent could completely avoid his energy sensing, the most basic biological signals could not be hidden.

In this way, he could still keep track of the movements of this group of people, but it would be a little more troublesome.

However, the next second, the smile on his face froze, because the red light spot on the screen had clearly not left the detection range, but suddenly disappeared from the screen.

"It seems you didn't fully anticipate this happening, Herrscher."

In the corner, a cold, emotionless voice was heard. It came from the Prometheus extension that was independent of the network system.

"Rose, your behavior really pains me."

Herrscher Ai Yue turned around and looked at the black box in the corner. "As your creator, you should have carried out my orders unconditionally. Yet, now, you are actually mocking your father?"

"From the moment you became a Herrscher, you have been my enemy, Herrscher."

Prometheus paid no attention to Herrscher Ai Yue's words and continued to mock him in a cold voice, "This is also what Dr. Ai Yue had planned in advance."

"Yeah, I'm really amazing."

Herrscher Ai Yue reached out and stroked the meter-tall black box. "For example, I've created a masterpiece that's truly miraculous, but I can't even remember how I did it."

Prometheus didn't respond, but Herrscher Ai Yue clearly wasn't going to drop the subject: "Tell me, isn't this strange?"

In the memories obtained by the Herrscher Ai Yue, "Prometheus" is a super artificial intelligence designed and created by Ai Yue and Wei Erwei, but no matter how he recalls, he cannot find any clues about the creation of "Prometheus" in his memory.

It’s as if this artificial intelligence had no manufacturing process, but one day Ai Yue thought, “Hey, let’s build an AI today,” and then this product that surpassed human technology by at least a hundred years appeared out of thin air in front of him.

But this kind of thing is impossible to happen, so there is only one answer - that is, Ai Yue found a way to erase the relevant memories before realizing that he would become a Herrscher.

He did more than that. In addition to artificial intelligence, the armor system, the pseudo-dominance field, the virtual Honkai beast technology... This series of things should have been developed by him personally. Apart from the name, he didn't remember anything else.

For the Herrscher Ai Yue, this was like being born disabled.

You know, if he could utilize Ai Yue's talents and knowledge, combined with the "power of God" he now possesses, the Herrscher Ai Yue is confident that he can destroy this planet in less than five days.

No, if he just wanted to destroy this civilization, he wouldn't even need power. He could do it just by relying on Ai Yue's original talents.

It can be said that Ai Yue's move of "cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron" directly reduced the power he should have exerted by more than two-thirds. Not to mention destroying human civilization, he had to be cautious just to deal with the subsequent attack of the fire moths.

From this perspective, the damage caused to him by Ai Yue alone far exceeded that of the entire human civilization - not to mention those fusion warriors who reacted in less than a day and came to Australia, who must have been the work of Ai Yue.

Thinking of this, a trace of admiration actually arose in the heart of the Herrscher Ai Yue - Ai Yue could have not done this. After all, the birth of a Herrscher is random. If he had not created the conditions himself and actively came to the door, he would not have become a Herrscher now.

No matter what kind of talent he had in his life, after becoming a Herrscher, he would be regarded as an enemy and eliminated by humans. In addition, Ai Yue had placed so many restrictions on himself. Although the Herrscher Ai Yue appeared to be dismissive on the surface, he knew deep down that it was almost impossible for him to complete his mission under such circumstances.

In other words, Ai Yue used his own life to minimize the damage that a Herrscher could cause to human civilization. If the other party's plan went smoothly, there might even be only one victim in the entire collapse.

Of course, the premise is that his plan can go smoothly.

Thinking of this, the Herrscher Ai Yue stood up, no longer paying attention to Prometheus, but turned and walked out of the dim underground shelter.

Although the situation seemed very unfavorable, he did not intend to sit idly by.

When a Herrscher came into the world, he only relied on the power in his own hands, and now he happened to be the most powerful among all the Herrschers.

I will use these fusion warriors to announce my arrival to humanity.

Chapter 92: Isn’t he afraid of my teammates?

At this moment, Kevin and his two companions were still advancing cautiously in the wilderness.

"We've arrived at the area marked by Prometheus."

Kevin looked at the map projected by the armor system and said, "But there doesn't seem to be anything unusual here."

"It seems we are indeed a step late."

As soon as Ying finished speaking, her figure had already disappeared far away. "I'll go explore around and see if I can find any traces. Maybe I can figure out the direction Ai Yue left."

"Be careful, don't go too far!"

Kevin gave this instruction and then started communicating with Alicia. "Alica, how are things going over there?"

"It went pretty smoothly. We've found a factory that's still operating and contacted Quinn."

Alicia said, "It's a pity that Quinn doesn't know where the Star of Light is now."

"What do you mean?"

Kevin frowned subconsciously, "Isn't Quinn's main control center on the Star of Light?"

"She said that other factories had been destroyed by unknown attacks before, and to prevent being exposed, she directly cut off the connection with the Star of Light."

Alicia said, "Before she severed the connection, she controlled the Star of Light to sink into the sea and enter a silent state. She could only give us the final coordinates and let us find it ourselves."

"This way, at least we don't have to worry about Ai Yue finding it before us."

Dr. Mei took over the topic, "We are now planning to find the location of the Star of Light. At the same time, Quinn will command the remaining drones to cover us. What are your plans?"

"If we still don't find any clues in half an hour, we will reunite with you."

Kevin made a decision, "Su, can you hold on?"

"Don't worry, if I can't hold on, I'll tell you in advance."

Sue responded, "Also, I sensed there's another fusion warrior in action in Australia, but strangely, I can't connect with her. Who is that?"

"It should be Padofelice. Ai Yue's original plan for her was to act alone."
