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

Kevin believed Ai Yue's words without a doubt and accepted the setting directly. "So, what we will face in the end is actually this special existence?"

"Yes. To achieve its goals, it follows certain laws and experiences to create Law-Bearers, endowing them with the ability to manipulate the laws of physics."

Ai Yue said, "And this time, the Herrscher, for some reason, gained more power from that special being."

"The First Ruler's ability is to give things 'principles' based on their own observations, and to reproduce them through Houkai energy."

Su analyzed, "If we want to strengthen this situation, does that mean the Eleventh Herrscher can directly master the powers of other Herrschers by observing and learning from them?"

"So the Eleventh Herrscher observed the power of the Second Herrscher through some channel and learned how to open the Gate of Imaginary Numbers?"

Alicia continued, turning her gaze to Ai Yue, "So, where did he learn this from?"

"I have to admit, this was a slight oversight in my plan."

At this point, Ai Yue felt a little scared. "I didn't expect that he could actually observe the operation of the Herrscher's power by analyzing the equipment I created. If she really mastered the power of the Second Herrscher, I'm afraid things would not end so easily."

Judging from the situation of the Herrscher of Domination, Ai Yue could already be sure that subsequent Herrschers would gain even more powerful powers, but he initially thought that the Herrscher's original powers would be strengthened, and he never expected that the Cocoon of the End would give the eleventh Herrscher the ability to "learn".

If he hadn't prepared a backup plan in advance and dragged the opponent into the battle from the very beginning, greatly consuming and weakening the Herrscher's energy, if he had really allowed the opponent to develop, I'm afraid this matter would not have ended like this.

"I have a question,"

Eden asked nearby, "Is it possible for us to continue using similar methods to deal with the Herrscher? Although we did experience quite a few setbacks this time, we have to admit that this can greatly reduce the losses."

In the battle against the Eleventh Ruler, apart from the injuries to the fusion warriors, the biggest loss was only Quinn's drone swarm. However, even if Quinn's drone swarm was destroyed by more than 90% in this war, it was not worth mentioning compared to the damage suffered by human civilization before.

Even such losses are nothing to Quinn herself - she only needs to keep the logistics system running at full capacity for eight months to replenish the drone fleet to its pre-combat size.

"Unfortunately, this time it was just by chance that I found such an opportunity,"

Ai Yue glanced at Alicia, then shook his head. "You could say this is a special 'loophole'. After it's been exploited once, it's hard to expect it to succeed a second time."

Although the Cocoon of the End has no intelligence, it definitely has its own operating logic. Ai Yue does not think that the same method can succeed a second time.

"Then, my last question is about the power of the Herrscher."

Dr. Mei asked, "What is the current state of this power? The Herrscher core is still within you, so can you control it?"

Everyone looked at Ai Yue at this moment, waiting for his answer.

Obviously, this is what they care about most - if Ai Yue can really succeed, then it means that they truly have a Herrscher belonging to mankind.

Ai Yue smiled and then snapped his fingers.

Invisible waves spread out in all directions with him as the center. Everyone affected could clearly feel the energy in their bodies being lost.

“Although it’s not as good as the original, it’s much better than the Key of God.”

Ai Yue is in a very strange state at the moment.

The Herrscher's core was still in his body, but the authority to operate the Herrscher's power had dissipated along with it due to Prometheus's artificial soul. This meant that although he had the experience of the other party controlling the power, he could not operate the power as freely as the other party.

But just like he said, although it has not reached the level of a genuine Herrscher, because the Herrscher power and Herrscher core are still relatively complete, compared to the Herrscher core controlled by technological means, Ai Yue is undoubtedly still a level higher.

In other words, he can now be called a "half-step Herrscher".

"That name sounds weird,"

After hearing Ai Yue's explanation, Alysia couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression, "It would be better to call them 'quasi-lawgiver' or 'pseudo-lawgiver'."

"Considering that this kind of thing could only happen to Ai Yue, then the name shouldn't matter, right?"

Dr. Mei also said, "Compared to this, I'd like to know if there have been any changes in your body."

Almost every Herrscher before them had a very obvious difference from normal humans on the physiological level, but this situation only lasted until the seventh Herrscher. After that, the Herrschers basically behaved almost the same as ordinary people.

Based on reasonable speculation, Dr. Mei believes that this is because the Herrschers live too short a lifespan - from the eighth to the eleventh Herrscher, the average lifespan of all of them is difficult to reach 72 hours, which is in stark contrast to the previous Herrschers who often wreaked havoc for months at a time.

"At least based on the existing data, there isn't much difference from before becoming a Herrscher."

Ai Yue said, "As for deeper changes, it may take a long time of observation and analysis."

"Then this matter is completely over."

Dr. Mei breathed a sigh of relief. "Although there are still many issues that need to be dealt with, at least everyone can have a good rest today."

At this point, she glanced at Ai Yue with a rather resentful look: "Dr. Ai Yue, considering that the aftermath of this incident was basically caused by your arbitrary decision-making, shouldn't you come back and personally report to the United Earth Government?"

"Ouch, my head suddenly hurts..."

Before Dr. Mei could finish his words, Ai Yue frowned and looked distressed. "Sorry, I might need to rest for a while. I'll be leaving first."

After saying this, he rushed out the door without looking back and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Kevin was silent for a while, then looked at Dr. Mei: "Do you need me to bring him back?"

"Forget it, let him be. After all, he is the one who made the greatest contribution to this matter."

Although Dr. Mei showed a distressed expression, he still shook his head and said, "Leave the rest to me."

"I'll rush back after Ying and the others recover."

Kevin then said, "Don't be too tired. The hardest part has been completed. I will help with the rest."

After hearing Kevin's words, Dr. Mei smiled and temporarily ended the communication.

"Oh, the relationship is really good."

Alicia came over with a mischievous smile, "So, when are you planning on having a baby?"

"Alicea, why are you also..."

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless smile, "My words don't count in this matter, go find Mei yourself."

"You and Mei's words are exactly the same,"

Alicia sighed, "Forget it, it seems that I can't rely on you two for this matter. I'd better find another way."

With that, he left the central hall and no one knew where he went.

Think of another way?

When Kevin heard what the other party said, he suddenly shuddered for no reason - he vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen, but he couldn't think of what Alicia would do for a moment.

Forget it, I'd better go see how Sakura and the others are doing first.

After saying hello to Weiwei and others who remained in the hall, Kevin walked towards the room where the wounded were accommodated.

At this moment, Kosmo also opened his eyes in the life support cabin.

Where am I?

A second before losing consciousness, Kosmo vaguely remembered that he was frantically venting his anger in the wilderness. At that time, because he was constantly devouring the genes of the Honkai Beast, he accumulated powerful strength enough to cross the boundary, and then transformed into a terrifying and hideous monster.

But the strange thing is that in this situation, he can still maintain some rationality. Although this level of rationality cannot allow him to control his body, it can still allow him to receive information from the outside world through the monster's senses.

Then what happened? It was like a white light...

Recalling the dazzling light that seemed to pierce through his soul, Kosmo subconsciously wanted to shield himself with his hands. At this time, he discovered that his arms had returned to their normal state. Not to mention the monster's limbs, even his hands that were twisted by excessive use of strength at the beginning had returned to their original state.

Then he realized he was no longer in the Australian wilderness, but back at the Light Star Experimental Base. Through the transparent front cover of the life support capsule, he could see a familiar figure busy in the room.

"Ai Yue...Woo!"

Kosmo recognized the figure at a glance. He opened his mouth subconsciously, but felt a burning pain in his throat and couldn't help but groan in pain. Fortunately, Ai Yue also noticed his situation at this moment, and then opened the hatch and released him.

"Don't talk yet, go sit over there."

Seeing Kosmo staggering out, Ai Yue stopped his unnecessary movements and handed him a beaker filled with light green liquid. "Drink this."

Kosmo didn't express any doubts and drank the liquid in the cup directly. Feeling the cold liquid flowing down his throat, he gradually calmed down from his initial confusion and ecstasy. "We succeeded, didn't we?"

"Of course, well done."

Ai Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, everyone else is fine and will wake up soon."

"That's good."

Looking at Desdobia's peaceful sleeping face in the life support cabin, Kosmo breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at Ai Yue again, "About what happened before..."

"I know it all."

Ai Yue smiled, not caring at all, "He's quite handsome, isn't he?"

After absorbing Prometheus's memories, Ai Yue also knew what happened on the battlefield. Of course, he also remembered Kosmo's overweight transformation.

"You know everything?"

Kosmo's hands couldn't help but tremble, and his voice became low. "So, what will happen to me next?"

The technology of fusion warriors was once banned within the Fire Moth. The biggest reason was the possibility of it getting out of control. Even now, there are still many people who oppose this project.

Therefore, Kosmo was very clear that the uncontrollable side he showed on the battlefield would cause him to be criticized and suspected. The worst result might even be that he might be imprisoned in that mysterious prison.

Even though he has recovered now for unknown reasons, once the Fire Moth knows his behavior, he will not be able to escape the final reckoning.

"Of course, let's take a vacation first."

Ai Yue smiled, not realizing what the other party was talking about. "Don't worry, there won't be any other missions in the short term."

"Eh?"

Kosmo was stunned for a moment, then explained, "No, I mean, my state on the battlefield."

"What happened to that?"

Ai Yue scratched his head and said, "Didn't I tell you that he's quite handsome?"

"That's not the problem!"

Kosmo then realized that Ai Yue hadn't grasped the point at all, and his tone couldn't help but rise an octave. "I can't control that form, so will the Fire Moth... that thing?"

"Um, are you worried about that?"

Ai Yue finally reacted, "Oh yes, I don't think I told you yet."

He finally revealed a serious expression: "So you plan to complete the 'Super Transformation Armament' before the holiday?"

What is Super Mutant Weapon?

Hearing this cool term, Kosmo was stunned for a moment, then showed a thoughtful expression: "You mean, there is a way to solve this problem?"

"Of course,"

Ai Yue directly projected a bunch of mature plans and showed them to the other party, "The reason I haven't told you is simply because the time is not yet ripe."

Due to the special nature of "Vishnu", Kosmo is very different from other fusion warriors.

The "overweight and super-transformation" of other fusion warriors may have been determined the moment they completed the fusion warrior surgery. Even for powerful fusion warriors like Sakura or Aponia, their overweight and super-transformation appearance can be foreseen from the beginning.

After all, the power of excessive weight and super-change comes from the genes of Honkai Beast. Therefore, when the genes of Honkai Beast are fixed, all of this can be calculated.

Even for Kevin, if he had not accepted the "Brahma Plan", his super-transformation would have been a foreseeable result - the only uncertainty was whether his super-transformation would become stronger or weaker.

After all, "Pavanti" is just an emperor-level Honkai beast. The reason why Kevin can become the strongest among the fusion warriors is because his own strength is strong enough.

But because Kosmo obtained Vishnu's ability to grow infinitely, he possesses the "growth potential" that no other fusion warriors have.

This kind of growth potential allows Kosmo to continuously increase his strength, but it also makes his overweight transformation full of uncertainty.

If Ai Yue forced him to undergo the "super-mutated weapon" editing surgery under such circumstances, the result would be to artificially lock his growth ceiling, thus blocking his future.

Therefore, Ai Yue did not intend to tell him about this matter until Kosmo himself entered a relatively stable "mature period".

But now, Kosmo has been able to trigger "overweight transformation" on his own, transforming into an evil beast completely different from "Vishnu". This means that the opponent's accumulation has reached a certain limit, and he has taken a completely different path from "Vishnu".

At this point, editing Kosmo's overweight super mutation can avoid the problem of artificially blocking its growth potential.

However, there is actually a better option now.

"You mean, both Sakura-senpai and Dr. Mebius underwent the 'Super Transformation Armament' surgery?"

Looking at the record displayed by Ai Yue, Kosmo's eyes lit up. "I see. I was wondering why Senior Ying's sword strike was so fast... so I can do the same?"

Looking at the cool biological armors of Mebius and Sakura, Kosmo couldn't help but smile with longing. Although he hadn't made any progress yet, he had already begun to imagine how cool his "super-mutated weapon" would be.

Anyway, a pair of big wings first!

"sure,"

Ai Yue nodded, then deliberately showed a little hesitation, "However, now there is a new plan, I wonder if you are interested?"
