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

After a moment's silence, Dr. Mei suddenly spoke up, "The goal of this mission is to defend the Star of Light. As long as one person survives before Mebius succeeds, the mission will remain unchanged. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Everyone responded in the affirmative, even Qianjie, who seemed to be asleep, nodded at this moment.

No one asked what the method of "killing Ai Yue" was, because everyone agreed with Dr. Mei's words - Ai Yue's importance was above all else, even if everyone would die in this battle, as long as he could be saved, it would be worth it.

Aponya fell silent. She was glad that she was not in front of everyone at the moment, otherwise they would definitely see something strange on her face.

Everything she had just said was true, but she concealed Ai Yue's final instructions to her.

"Kill me before anyone else is sacrificed."

The nun closed her eyes and let herself sink into the darkness.

Mebius—Please, succeed.

In the First Research Institute, Mebius suddenly opened his eyes.

She sat up from the cold floor, gasping for breath, and subconsciously reached out to grab the edge of the table, trying to stand up.

"Dr. Mobius!"

Klein's surprised and delighted voice came from the side, "You finally woke up. I thought..."

"Don't think so."

Mebius finally managed to reach the edge of the table and uttered a hoarse voice, "What's the result this time?"

"no change."

Klein answered subconsciously, then added, "But we can't go on like this. Please change your thinking... Your resurrection time is getting longer and longer!"

"is it?"

Mebius was stunned for a moment, then he saw his own figure on the dark screen. "I didn't expect it to become so small."

At this moment, she no longer had the figure of a mature woman, and she couldn't even maintain the appearance of a young girl. She had shrunk to the size of a child.

"If you keep going like this, it won't be long before you can no longer maintain your human form!"

Klein was still giving earnest advice, "When that time comes, when that time comes..."

Klein was really scared, because at this moment, Mebius had become so crazy that she could hardly accept it. More importantly, she could feel that Mebius was really seeking death.

I used to think I had gained infinite life and could use it to seek the secrets of human evolution, but why did it suddenly become like this?

"When that time comes, I will probably die in a strange way."

Mebius said calmly, a strange smile on her young face at this moment, "But Klein, if not, how can I save Ai Yue?"

Ai Yue handed over all his research on the "Stigmata Project" to Mebius, hoping that she would complete the final research and obtain the complete stigmata.

However, the sad thing is that even though Ai Yue has paved the road so smoothly, Mebius has tried everything but still finds that there is a fine line between himself and the end.

It was just a thin line, but it separated heaven and hell, and also proved the gap between her and Ai Yue.

If she cannot obtain the complete stigmata, she will not be able to complete the most critical step of the plan and take Ai Yue back from Houhuai's hands. In that case, they must kill Ai Yue.

Such a result was something Mebius could not accept in any way. So she resorted to the most primitive, and for her, dumbest, method.

The stigma factor is born between life and death, right? Since I already have all the necessary conditions for the birth of the stigma, then all I have to do is feel the fear between life and death, right?

So, Mebius chose to embrace death.

After dying again and again, Mebius became more and more numb, and it took longer and longer for her to be resurrected, but an increasingly obvious smile appeared on her face.

Because she could feel that she was gradually approaching death - and was gradually regaining her fear of death.

"So, don't stop me, Klein."

Mebius looked at Klein seriously, wanting to pour all his emotions into her. "Come and help me. I... no, we will definitely succeed."

As she spoke, she pretended to be relaxed as she picked up the syringe on the table and swirled the golden liquid inside. "Besides, we can do two experiments at the same time, wouldn't that double the efficiency?"

"I see."

Klein finally put away all his emotions and returned to his usual assistant state. "I'll help you."

She took the syringe from Mebius's hand, lowered her head and carefully observed the fine lines of blood vessels on the other's skin, looking for the best injection position.

Mebius turned her head and looked at the envelope that Ai Yue left for her.

"Hold on a little longer."

She seemed to be talking to herself, or to someone else, "We're almost there."

Chapter 106: Just a Honkai beast, watch me push it back with a swarm of drones.

On the Australian battlefield, a swarm of drones is engaged in a fierce battle with a sea of Honkai beasts. Both sides are huge armies with numerical advantages, and it is difficult to determine the winner for a while.

Kevin and the others finally witnessed with their own eyes the full firepower of the drone swarm.

In fact, they had received support from a swarm of drones as early as the great collapse of Mu Continent, but the scale of the drones at that time was only tens of thousands. Therefore, although they looked very reliable, they were not yet able to serve as the main force on the battlefield.

This time, Quinn released all his resources without reservation. More than ten million drones were dispatched in full force, and the swarm covered the entire battlefield. Compared with this scene, what they saw last time was just a street fight.

More importantly, in addition to numbers, the drone swarm also has an advantage that the Honkai beast does not have - that is, thinking ability.

Relying on the swarm's Gestalt cluster consciousness, Quinn's instructions can cover the entire swarm without delay, and there is no need for precise and cumbersome instructions. Only vague guidance is needed, and the drone's own processor can automatically convert it into precise instructions.

This situation is like when a person wants to bend down, he only needs the brain to issue a "bend down" command without having to specifically control the details of the bones, muscles, and nerves. This can greatly reduce the burden on Quinn himself, and at the same time make the swarm's tactics more diverse.

If someone carefully observes the situation on the battlefield at this moment, they will find that the tactics used by the drone swarms are far superior to those of human armies. The most exaggerated thing is that they can execute completely different tactics in different areas, and the coordination between the subordinate small groups in each area can be described as seamless.

Relying on such advantages, the drone swarm even gained an absolute upper hand on the battlefield for a time. It not only blocked the advance of the Honkai Beast Sea, but also launched a counterattack, trying to push the front line forward, compress the formation of the Honkai Beast Sea, and cause it to become chaotic and dispersed.

"That's amazing, Quinn."

Seeing this scene, Alicia couldn't help but let out a surprised sound, "Why does it feel like we don't even need to take any action?"

"You guys don't need to deal with Honkai Beasts."

Quinn's voice remained as calm as ever. "Even in the future, combat units like swarms and armed puppets will replace you in completing these basic combat tasks and become part of maintaining the order of human civilization."

"What should we do? If this continues, we will be unemployed."

Alicia immediately showed a panicked expression, and then said to herself, "Huh, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing?"

Because her expression was so deliberate, no one else wanted to respond to her.

"Don't be careless, things are not so easy to solve."

Kevin whispered, "So far, those clones haven't made a move yet."

"Aren't we just waiting for them?"

Alicia smiled and said, "It seems like they're waiting for us to take action."

On the battlefield between the drone swarm and the Honkai Sea of Beasts, both the Fusion Warriors and the Herrscher clones tacitly refrained from intervening. After all, their goal was to delay time, so there was no need to rush until the situation showed a clear tilt.

Moreover, if they waste their energy on clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers before this, they will obviously be at a disadvantage in the subsequent battles, which is something both sides want to avoid at all costs.

But now it seems that the advantage of the drone swarm is obviously too great. If the Herrscher clone really allows this situation to continue to spread, it will not be long before the Honkai beasts will completely lose the ability to fight against the swarm.

By that time, the Herrscher clone would have to face the joint attack of the fusion warriors and the drone swarm.

Obviously, the Herrscher also understood this principle, so when the battle line began to tilt towards the Honkai Beast, Kevin and others saw a group of drones suddenly fall silently to the ground.

"It's the power of the Herrscher!"

Kosmo blurted out, "They really can't help it!"

"Be ready for battle."

Kevin frowned, "Quinn, can you find the locations of those five clones?"

"Please be patient, everyone."

Quinn said calmly, "If it's only this level, then it can't break our limits. Why not let them consume it for a while?"

"Don't worry,"

Prometheus also said, "The hive has a recycling system. Those drones affected by the Herrscher's power can be towed back for repairs and then used again."

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then carefully observed the battlefield in the distance. Sure enough, he saw that there were already many drones on the ground responsible for recovering the damaged drone wreckage, and then retreating to the rear.

"No wonder the drone's combat loss ratio was not low just now, but the number has not changed significantly."

Eden couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration. "This way, wouldn't it be possible to achieve a nearly infinite cycle?"

"As long as the rate of swarm damage is kept within a certain range, theoretically, a near-infinite cycle is possible."

Quinn said, "But according to my analysis, as long as the other party realizes this, they will change their strategy and begin to actively attack."

By recycling the wreckage of the drones and combining it with the already continuously operating production capacity of the drone factory, as long as the Honkai side cannot cause large-scale damage in a short period of time, the swarm can theoretically grow larger and larger. From this point of view, the swarm can even be called "Honkai beasts belonging to humans."

It’s a pity that compared to the Honkai beasts that can be directly extracted from the imaginary space, the manufacture of drones still requires a certain cost. This is probably one of Quinn’s few disadvantages.

The Herrscher's clones quickly realized this, and after discovering that simply damaging the drones would not reverse the situation, they appeared on the battlefield almost immediately.

The next second, drones all around began to fall like raindrops—obviously, this was the result of being enveloped by the domain extended by the Herrscher's clone.

At this rate of casualties, all drones will lose their combat capability within a few minutes.

"No matter how many times I see it, it still makes me feel suffocated."

Dr. Mei murmured, "Just the mere presence is enough to reverse the situation on the battlefield. Is this the power of the Eleventh Ruler?"

"It's up to you now, everyone."

Quinn said quickly, "We can't let them continue to advance. Once the hive's logistics system is destroyed, the entire hive will soon fall into silence."

"I understand."

Kevin gripped the weapon tightly in his hand and nodded, "Everyone, go ahead!"

Chapter 107: You are doing somersaults here, all reversed.

As the fusion warriors and the Herrscher clones joined the battlefield, the situation began to become strange.

If the confrontation between the drone swarm and the sea of Honkai beasts at the beginning was a science fiction film about a modern army fighting alien beasts, then the current battle situation seems to have turned into a medieval fantasy film.

A warrior wearing armor and holding cold weapons faces an unarmed "magician" wearing a long white coat - I have to say, it is indeed a bit strange.

Of course, there is no way around this. After all, under the suppression of the five Herrscher clones, no matter what ability it is, it is difficult to display it. All one can rely on is the power of the fusion warrior itself.

Even this power began to gradually dissipate after entering the Herrscher's domain of authority. It is conceivable that if the battle cannot be ended in a short period of time, the situation will only tilt infinitely towards the Herrscher's side.

Fortunately, the current situation is not all bad news for Kevin and others.

"Although the suppression effect of the domain is much stronger than before, it is still within the tolerable range."

Feeling the power within him, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief. "At least this shows that the Herrscher isn't strong enough to create five clones like he did before."

The most pessimistic speculation of the crowd about the current situation was that each of the five clones in front of them was as strong as the one that was killed by Sakura before. In that case, it could be said that there was no chance of winning at all.

"According to observations, the energy depletion within the field is approximately three times greater than before."

Prometheus' voice reached everyone's ears. "Except for Kevin, everyone else can move in this area for a maximum of fifteen minutes. Please note."

Kevin nodded and was about to step forward, but a figure blocked his way.

Qianjie's voice came from under the armor: "I'll go first - don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

After saying this, he rushed towards the Herrscher's clone without waiting for Kevin's response.

There's no such thing as a priority... Could it be that this guy didn't listen at all when the tasks were assigned before?

Kevin sighed inwardly, but immediately responded: "Stop the other enemies and create an opportunity for Qianjie!"

Although he didn't want Qianjie to act alone, Kevin had to admit that this might be the best tactic for Qianjie.

This man is completely unable to cooperate with others, but the strength he possesses is enough to make him qualified to fight alone.

Even if the enemy he faces is a Herrscher.

Everything happened in an instant. Almost at the same time Kevin made the arrangement, the roar resounded throughout the battlefield.

That was Qianjie's wrath, and also a declaration to the Herrscher.
