The Scam Plan and a New Safety Net / Super Detective, Serious Investigation!

"The subconscious connected by blood." Mei looked at Sakura. "The God Key will retain the Herrscher's nature. As Herrscher in the spiritual aspect, Rin's nature is more obvious. I will use this nature to construct a pseudo -Stigmata Space, and then you, as her blood relative, will awaken Rin's past memories."

Chapter 554 The Scam Plan and the New Guarantee

That's all for Ling. Just wait and I'll let you know when the time comes.

Mei picked up another document.

"As for Rin... there's not much to say. She's very healthy, just a bit high in body fat. She just needs to exercise more, that's all."

"..." Rin covered her face. Wasn't this just a direct way of saying she was fat?

She's not fat at all!

"It's different from just being fat." Mei pouted. "But more exercise is never a bad thing. You guys can wander around on your own for now. Here's your ID card. For dinner... remember to go to the cafeteria at six o'clock to eat and get to know everyone."

"Okay." Sakura nodded. "By the way, where is the head of the household now?"

Ying felt something was off when she couldn't see Liu Bai.

"Who knows where... maybe in some vixen's room." Mei pushed up her glasses, her whole demeanor reeking of jealousy.

Sakura shrugged indifferently.

This person hasn't given up yet...

Sakura picked up Himeko and got up. The Yae sisters thanked her and then got up to leave with Sakura.

After the others left, Mei dialed Otto's number, and Otto's pensive expression appeared on the screen.

Good afternoon, Dr. Mei.

"Good afternoon, have you finalized your scam plan?"

"Doctor, you could put it in a more elegant way." Otto put down his hand that was supporting his head. "The plan hasn't been finalized yet, but we have a general idea."

Tell me about it.

"The Herrscher of Domination." Otto tapped the tablet beside him and then showed the contents to Mei. "The Herrscher of Domination's assimilation ability is very interesting. I plan to use the Herrscher of Domination's ability to create a shell for myself."

"A backdoor listing?" Mei instantly understood what Otto was trying to do. "Disguise himself as Herrscher without a core?"

"That's right. Then let the Herrscher of a Thousand act as operators. You activate Prometheus hidden on the Honkai and connect with me, so that it can share a Herrscher Authority."

"Why not just use the Herrscher Core?" Mei thought for a moment and felt that the plan was generally fine. "Anyway, for Herrscher of Domination, dying once is not a big deal."

"If I were to use her, even if the Herrscher of Domination didn't want to assimilate me, I might still be implicitly assimilated due to close contact with her core. After all, the Herrscher of Domination is currently very active, and the Herrscher of Domination is already at full strength. Having her as the operator would actually pose no real threat."

"Hmm... that's a reasonable explanation."

Mei nodded. In fact, as long as the power is tricked out of the Honkai, mere assimilation is nothing. Restraint can be purified, and as long as the Herrscher of Domination has no desire to attack, erosion can also wash away the assimilation on her body.

"So, Otto, have you decided which power you want?"

According to Otto's current plan, she now has a choice. After all, this isn't about deceiving the Honkai, but rather Otto making a deal with Prometheus, who is Honkai Consciousness —although Prometheus will likely run away after this deal is complete.

So there's a reason behind this.

Taking the constraint is a no-brainer; it removes the most shameless mechanism for killing, allowing you to skip levels while simultaneously increasing your combat power. The power of constraint is useful even when facing the Finality, since constraint is essentially a rogue tactic.

Taking the erosion method doesn't significantly enhance combat power, but it can seal off the last possible possibility of the current civilization's collapse.

The most dangerous thing about the Corruption is not that it is ubiquitous, but that it does not exist in the real world. When Aponia treated Rin, she confirmed that this thing has no physical form, but being infected does not show any signs of becoming Herrscherization.

Furthermore, with Liu Bai subtly revealing the truth, they all knew that this thing was just an endless virus. As long as they killed the main body, everything would be fine—the problem was that they couldn't kill Rin, nor could they allow the Herrscher of Corruption to truly break away from Rin and become a virus.

If Otto were to use the Corruption technique, even if he followed the same path as Rin back then due to its unique nature, and a Herrscher of Corruption appeared within him, it wouldn't be a big deal. At worst, he could just use the Herrscher of a Thousand to kill the Herrscher of Corruption.

The Herrscher of a Thousand is one with a thousand, and one with a thousand. In terms of micro-management, it is far superior to the Herrscher of Corruption. Under normal circumstances, the Herrscher of Corruption is like a computer virus, and the Herrscher of a Thousand cannot even find it, let alone eliminate it.

But if the Erosion is a living entity... come on then. It's as if someone infected with your Herrscher of Corruption virus will become Herrscher of Corruption. Besides, once the physical body has spread the virus, it can't run very far.

Both being Assimilation-type Herrscher with weak direct combat capabilities, if everyone were playing in the real world, the Herrscher of a Thousand would be completely countered by the Corruption.

Death can transform you into a butterfly? Sorry, my Herrscher of a Thousand can adapt to all Herrscher Core. If we can't find your Herrscher Core, we can assimilate you entirely. Come on, put on the blindfold, you're one of us now.

All Otto needs to do is mechanically ascend and transfer his consciousness. This is not difficult for Otto. If he hadn't made this preparation, he wouldn't have modified Reanna back then.

So... although there is some danger, Mei does have some hope that Otto will be corrupted, otherwise she cannot guarantee that the current civilization's Herrscher of Corruption will still need to "break out of their cocoons and become butterflies" like the Previous Era.

"I'm going to take the constraint." Otto didn't think too much about the Mei question. "The constraint has the potential to eradicate Honkai from another angle."

"Another angle?" Mei was taken aback.

"Dr. Mei, do you think if I let the Herrscher of Domination completely devour the power of restraint, could I use the Herrscher of Domination possesses the Binding Authority as an anti- Honkai base station?"

"This..." Mei looked at Otto's expression and fell into thought. "No, the level of domination itself is too low... Wait!"

"Yes, it seems you remembered, Doctor." Otto was very satisfied with Mei's reaction. "The Herrscher of Binding has the potential for growth, and it can even be said to have the second most abnormal growth potential among the Herrscher."

That's right. Although the Herrscher of Binding from the Previous Era was cursed to death by Liu Bai, during this period, these researchers noticed the gradually expanding range of the Herrscher of Binding.

"The data in the Imaginary Archive..." Mei admitted that she had almost forgotten this little detail. "So you're planning to distribute the power of constraint to the Herrscher of Domination because you're worried that the growth potential of the Binding Authority also has a limit?"

"Logically speaking, there is likely to be an upper limit – although Honkai itself doesn't make much sense."

Otto smiled.

"Moreover, the Herrscher with the most abnormal growth potential is..."

"Herrscher of Domination," Mei continued, "Even if the growth limit of the Restraint is weakened by the base number of Herrscher of a Thousand, we can still nurture the Herrscher of Domination. As long as it exceeds a certain line, the Herrscher of a Thousand will undergo a qualitative change."

A level 100 boss can easily kill 1,000 level 1 mobs, but what if it were killing 1,000 level 50 elite bosses?

Not to mention these people also possess abilities like fanaticism, unity, and combo attacks...

"I'm not sure how strong the Herrscher of Finality, but as long as you're willing to invest in the Herrscher of Domination, she can break even. I'm taking the Binding Authority for two reasons: first, to fight, and second, to ensure that the Herrscher of Domination can take over the power from me completely when necessary."

Otto was unaware that the current civilization's Herrscher of Finality was a level several hundred boss, so he didn't mention sending the Herrscher of Domination to the battlefield.

"It doesn't matter what the Herrscher of Finality's abilities are. As long as she is still Herrscher, no matter what methods she uses, the energy medium will be Honkai Energy, and the constraint will be the Herrscher of Anti- Honkai. The Herrscher of a Thousand in their ultimate form are wholeheartedly deploying a barrier that only opposes Honkai. This anti- Honkai network... I dare not estimate too much, but I think it can still protect half of the civilization."

"... We can even live a pastoral life within the anti- Honkai circle, or use Honkai Energy and the opportunity of world reset to obtain various resources outside the circle, if we so choose..."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

"Then, in the next generation, Honkai will reappear outside the circle, allowing the Herrscher of a Thousand to continue devouring new Herrscher. This cycle will continue until the Herrscher of a Thousand eventually reach the upper limit of the entire Honkai system, and then..."

And then came victory.

"It's been too long, hasn't it?" Otto seemed to know what Mei was going to say.

From the end of the Previous Era to the present civilization, it will take about 50,000 years. That is to say, if a civilization is established every 50,000 years, then even 10 civilizations may not see the dawn of a new era in 500,000 years.

Herrscher of a Thousand undergoes a qualitative change once they surpass a certain threshold, but correspondingly, once Herrscher of a Thousand surpass another threshold, it becomes more difficult for them to advance further than others.

But...

"For a sure victory, this is not even a price to pay—the young people of modern civilization are indeed impressive."

With technologies like Welwitschia and cryogenic chambers, time is no longer an issue.

The only concern is whether social and cultural issues might arise...

However, these are all minor issues.

If you have the power to tear everything down and start over, then no problem is a problem.

Mei had to admit that she really hadn't thought of this plan.

Although Otto said that Mei understood, and that what she thought was unexpected was just a blind spot in her thinking, there's nothing wrong with admitting it.

"... Don't talk like you're so old."

Upon hearing Mei's remark, Otto immediately put on a sour face.

You're just trying to act tough because you're old! Even though I've only experienced major events in AI's history, I still have more experience than you! Can you just get lost when it comes to age?

"Besides, I'm just talking about this plan. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to carry it out."

Otto abandoned his bishop persona and curled his lip.

"You can all watch. When the Lord God bless me, I'll show you what it means for a saint to be born!"

This is Otto's true intention. There's nothing else to it. Otto just wants to take this opportunity to tell these bastards who are hanging around their Lord God just how deep his love for the Lord God really is!

"Oh..." Mei pushed up her glasses. "I think it was more reasonable to expect Rita to give birth to a divine child back then."

Chapter 555 Super Detective, Seriously Solving Cases!

Upon hearing this, Otto looked depressed and hung up the call without giving Mei a chance to press her advantage.

Because it's not impossible.

Rita... she gets along with everyone, as long as there's no blood feud, she's always smiling at everyone.

This obviously included Otto, so Otto also asked Rita some questions. At that time, Otto had just finished supporting Rita, so Rita didn't hide some things from him.

For example, no condom or something...

Otto really wanted to curse after he learned that Rita was acting so recklessly, but he couldn't bring himself to do it because of his stance.

Now that Mei is using this to criticize her, Otto is truly speechless.

It seems that if I really keep going like this, something like this might actually happen...

Let's find something for Rita to do... but another problem arises.

It seems like everything's alright now...

The existing Herrscher are all from the same family, and the remaining two powers have clearly not been implemented since they haven't caused any trouble.

Ugh... my head hurts.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Amber handed Otto a glass of water at the opportune moment.

"If Amber is referring to something important when you say 'things,' then I obviously don't have anything to do."

Oh, that's a private matter.

Amber understood and immediately fell silent.

She wasn't some clueless idiot; it seemed both her own bishop and Lady Kallen wanted to sell her out.

Although she wasn't against it, it was still really too strange, wasn't it?

Mei, on the other end, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Otto angrily hang up the call.

Bringing Rita out would be a lose-lose situation for her, but without a good strategy, it's really impossible to suppress Otto.

After all, Otto's weirdness was...

This is a wise man of the same level as me, yet as soon as my teacher appears, this person can suddenly lose his mind, start to crawl around in a contorted manner and bark. If you stuck a tail in his butt, this person could wag it more happily than a dog.

This level of perversion is beyond Mei's comprehension... Sometimes Mei really doesn't want to admit that she and this guy are on the same level of wisdom.

"Dr. Clio, would you like to attend the tea party?" Kallen called out to Jackal in the corridor.

"Tea party? Me?"

The Jackal stared at Kallen for a moment, then looked at Elinor and Elysia behind Kallen.

"Afternoon tea?"

"Yes, in Miss Elysia's room."

Kallen nodded. "We haven't gotten together yet, have we?"

"Well, that's true, but..." Jackal looked Kallen up and down. They weren't from the same small circle, so of course they hadn't gotten together.

"But?"

"But I'm full today." Jackal smiled at Kallen, who was dressed like a medieval noblewoman. "Next time."

Although there's nothing wrong with attending this afternoon tea, Jackal is in a hurry to get back to his room to take a shower.

Then the Jackal saw Elysia behind Kallen twitch her nose and give her a very cute smile.

(Hey... does this guy have a dog's nose?)

Given the relationship between Elysia and Liu Bai, plus Elysia's own identity, Jackal couldn't help but overthink things.

"Let's do as the doctor says and do it together again next time~" Elysia chimed in from the side.
