Elysia's Meeting

Bell's expression gradually turned to shock.

"Wow, Aponia, you don't actually look so abstinent and serious, but inside you're the type who goes completely limp and lets your brother have his way the moment he hugs you? And then you unleash your true nature in bed?"

"Gretel is still here... Let's leave this topic at that."

This kid is really hard to deal with, and this statement is really... a bit of an exaggeration.

But am I really the kind of person who would go limp and helpless if Lord God hugged me?

Okay, Aponia admits that when Liu Bai let her choose her future relationship with him, although she still used the title "Lord God," she felt a surge of intense emotions inside.

But... it's not nearly as exaggerated as Rin made it out to be.

"That's true, that's true." Rin glanced at Gretel, who remained expressionless.

Why did she always feel that this child was listening very attentively? Even though he still looked innocent and clueless...

"Oh, right, could Aponia please help me find the other people? I need to give my last words first."

"Don't say such unlucky things."

Despite saying that, Aponia still stood up.

"Is it enough to only look for women?"

"Oh right, Kevin and all that, it's not too late to say his last words at the very end."

One week later

"Um... I just need to lie down in it?"

Ling looked at the Stasis Pod in front of her and gave a strange expression.

"Yes, just lie down in it, and you'll be absolutely safe." Mei pushed up her glasses.

This girl is really something, she can even say that kind of thing in her last words... I don't admit, this "last words" really scared her.

Fortunately, her plan was sound; otherwise, she would have had to work overtime to redo it.

However, Mei greatly agrees with this girl's attitude towards Honkai and her own life and death.

"Then I'll lie down inside."

Ling clung to the edge of the cabin and climbed inside.

"Huh? This is actually quite comfortable, just a bit cold."

"Because this is Stasis Pod —you can close your eyes now."

"Huh? You're closing your eyes already?"

"Yes, close your eyes, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

How could I let this girl worry about me...

"By the way, is there anyone else who wants to say a few words? They should say them now."

Cherry looked up at the sky.

Although, well, although she should be explaining something, surprisingly, she has nothing to explain right now.

During this time, Liu Bai also gave her some advice, and she probably understood that as long as she could survive, she would have a chance to reunite with Ling.

Adding to all the work Rin has been doing lately, Sakura really has no intention of explaining anything to Rin now.

To be honest, Sakura now finds everyone's expressions towards her quite strange.

So embarrassing...

How embarrassing...

Forget about it now, but if we ever meet again, I'll definitely give this girl a good beating.

"Nobody has anything to report? Then close the hatch." Mei wasn't surprised at all by this outcome—after all, Ling had really pulled a ruthless stunt in the end.

She's confessed everything, both what she should and shouldn't have confessed. I find it unbelievable that anyone would still have anything to say to her now.

The hatch closed slowly, and a moment later, the Stasis Pod emitted a mechanical notification: "Neural connection established."

Upon hearing this voice, Aponia stepped forward and channeled the power of the commandments into it through the port left by Mei.

Half a minute later, Aponia swayed and fell backward. Sakura caught Aponia with lightning speed and looked down to see that Aponia's face was frighteningly pale.

"Aponia? Are you alright?"

"...fine."

With Sakura's support, Aponia finally regained her footing.

"I used the precepts to cut off a third of my consciousness, or rather, my soul, as the precepts of the bell," Aponia explained.

If one's own precepts are to be eroded by the Herrscher, then one should create a sufficiently strong consciousness within Rin's spirit to protect Rin's self from being corrupted.

"One-third... It's amazing you can still stand." Vil-V looked at Aponia with an expression of admiration.

She was a master of manipulation of consciousness, so she naturally knew how dangerous Aponia's actions were.

"If you cut any more, you'll become a vegetable... By the way, the discipline you use on yourself is an imitation of my abilities?"

"That's right."

Although Aponia managed to stand firm, she still felt completely exhausted.

"After cutting off a third of my soul, my disciplines are no longer usable. However, no one should need them now."

"I didn't tell you to be so cruel..." Mei didn't know what to say. "Vil-V, do you know how to repair a soul?"

"Rest is fine. After all, to put it in lofty terms, it's called the soul; to put it simply, it's just consciousness and spirit. But this amount of one-third... I think we can customize a special Stasis Pod for Aponia."

Vil-V scratched her head. Although she had cut herself very ruthlessly, she had a special talent, and these consciousnesses were still inside her body.

Unlike Aponia, who immediately attacked with a third of her power. Hmm, it's clear that Aponia had tested this beforehand, and a third was exactly the dangerous boundary. However, Aponia herself probably didn't expect that the damage from the transmitted consciousness would be so great.

If Aponia wasn't skilled in matters of mental consciousness, after losing that third of her strength, Aponia would definitely be lying on the ground...

Chapter 447 Elysia's Meeting

"After we put the bell into the Stasis Pod, are we about to have our final battle?" Pardo asked Liu Bai worriedly. "Honey, do you think we'll die?"

"No, I'll give you a hand when the time comes."

Liu Bai gently rubbed Pardo's head.

Of the four victims from the original timeline— Kalpas, Kosma, Pardo, and Vil-V — Pardo and Vil-V actually had the highest mortality rates.

One of them had very low combat power, and the other was the pilot of the Moonlight Throne.

On the contrary, Kalpas and Kosma, as long as they play more steadily and fight a drawn-out battle, would not be instantly killed. After all, these two are top-tier combatants, and Kalpas is even the third strongest combatant of the Moth Chasers to Fire. The reason they were instantly killed by the Finality was largely because their fighting style was too aggressive. They were instantly killed when they went head-to-head with the Finality.

Kosma is essentially the same as the Kalpas.

Of course, the main issue is that the power boost for the Herrscher of Finality is ridiculously absurd. In the game, it would be considered shameless. Even if you sent a full squad of Flame-Chasers of the End, it would be a free kill, let alone a weakened one.

Therefore, the focus now is actually on Pardo and Vil-V.

Well, Vil-V is alright. Although the position of driver is important, it can be replaced if a reliable person can be found—for example, Gray Serpent.

As long as you are willing to train Gray Serpent, Gray Serpent will have absolutely no problem in this regard.

The remaining problem is Pardo.

Although Liu Bai really wanted Pardo not to go, according to the current battle plan, Mobius was going to take Pardo to try to hack the entire Honkai system with the personality Prometheus.

That's right. According to the current theory of advanced civilization deployment, one of Honkai and Finality must be artificially created. After discussion, everyone agreed that it is the Herrscher of Finality, which has a strong sense of division and mechanism.

What does this tell us?

This shows that Honkai itself is modifiable!

Although Liu Bai wanted to try hacking into Honkai, it was difficult to guarantee the "distance" after hacking. Once a spatial jump occurred, Liu Bai would be pulled back.

Secondly, Liu Bai himself does not have a strong ability to interfere; the curse is mainly an ability that affects people, and it is also mainly a matter of gradual, persistent effort.

Incidentally, this is also why Liu Bai didn't consider contracting with the Herrscher of Finality; even if he did, it wouldn't be effective.

Preventing the Herrscher's actions, only to have the Herrscher of Finality self-destruct along with Honkai after the Honkai ends, is simply meaningless and not even worth the effort.

Returning to Pardo, it was precisely because they realized that the Honkai itself could be modified that these scientists, after discussion, unanimously agreed that Pardo's strong luck was absolutely indispensable if they wanted to modify the Honkai.

After all, with such an immature technology that is still in its infancy and without any clear direction, one can only place their hopes on luck.

However, given Pardo's fighting prowess, she would definitely be eliminated even if she were caught in the aftershocks.

Good fortune cannot last forever.

Liu Bai had realized that Mei from the original timeline must have also chosen this path, and in the end... well, judging from the types of Herrscher in the current civilization, she undoubtedly succeeded, but Pardo also perished.

In a sense, Mobius's success can be considered an absolute stroke of luck that Pardo traded his life for.

So the biggest problem facing Liu Bai now is how to protect Pardo.

It's easy to get a pardon once, but the problem is that Pardo's small physique won't be able to use it once!

Even if Liu Bai could block a wave of AOE, it would be of no use.

Unless... Sakura is added to this action team.

Sakura bringing someone with Flash isn't a problem, and she can even easily bring along Mobius, let alone just Pardo.

As for space, that's not a problem at all. These Fusion Warrior all have a certain ability to fight in space. Hmm, it's a bit counterintuitive, but it makes sense when you think about it. If this group of people went into space with oxygen supply equipment, probably none of them would come back.

Therefore, the warriors who have been fighting on the planet are fully equipped to fight in space. Liu Bai only remembered this counterintuitive fact after Mei mentioned it before.

However, since the art style of Honkai 3rd has always been so bizarre, it's not a big problem.

But now another serious problem is... I'm allergic to Sakura cat fur.

As for cherry blossom allergy, it's not actually that serious; it's just a sneeze.

But if you say it's light... Sakura is a top-tier Fusion Warrior, yet she keeps sneezing without any other reaction. She doesn't get any rashes on her body, and she doesn't feel dizzy or vomit; she just keeps sneezing.

Liu Bai wondered whether Ying was truly suffering from an incurable allergy, or if it was just psychological.

Let her bear with it then.

There's not much to say about the others; if they proceed cautiously and steadily, they're unlikely to run into any trouble.

Although Mobius may die suddenly, he is also resurrected. Moreover, it is estimated that before going to the moon, Mobius will have to commit suicide again to turn himself into a child to reduce the ridicule.

"Alright! Now that you say so, I'm relieved."

When Pardo heard Liu Bai say he would lend her a hand, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As a little pet, Pardo placed all her confidence in Liu Bai.

No one could reassure her as much as Liu Bai.

"Speaking of which, after Ling went into hibernation, I haven't seen Dr. Mei. Did the doctor 'flee to avoid punishment'?" Pardo said half-jokingly.

"I'm going to the moon to prepare some things... it's probably better than nothing."

Its main purpose is to connect to the Honkai, and incidentally, to fleece the Herrscher of Finality.

The approximately 28% Honkai Energy on the Herrscher of Finality can be used to produce four Herrscher Core after 50,000 years, which is equivalent to four Herrscher.

However, this kind of exploitation is really useless for the current situation of the Previous Era; its greatest use now is to connect with the Honkai.

Therefore, Mei brought a team of Fusion Warrior to help her move bricks and repair buildings.

This was quite an unforgettable experience for those soldiers.

"Then Kevin was captured by Mobius and used as a test subject, Vil-V was adjusting the Moonlight Throne, which will soon be docked in space ahead of schedule, and Einstein was preparing Armed Dolls for the next era—these are the few people who are currently quite busy."

Since the topic of "mei" had already come up, Liu Bai simply told Pardo about a few people who were currently quite busy.

The scientists were the main force, while the soldiers had a more relaxed lifestyle, spending most of their time in simulated combat environments, enjoying good food and fun.

On the eve of the decisive battle, most soldiers arranged for civilians to enter shelters to rest, while the soldiers themselves went to the designated "military camp rest areas".

"So we're actually just waiting for the final battle..."

Pardo wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what Liu Bai meant.

"The final battle will be fought on the moon... Sigh, why not go on vacation instead of going to the final battle?"
