The Honkai Will... Isn't Exactly the Sharpest Tool in the Shed

What truly leaves them bewildered, helpless, and even causes division is the Herrscher of Corrosion.

Therefore, Chen Luo didn't value the Herrscher Core of Flame core in his hand that much. Anyway, since the Herrscher Core was gone, he could still plunder or buy it when the corresponding Herrscher appeared.

After all, Kiana obtained the Herrscher Authority Flame power in the original story. Wouldn't it be much cheaper to buy the power from Kiana than from the Honkai faction?

Even if the experiment fails and the Herrscher Core of Flame core is lost, it's not a big problem. Chen Luo figured it would be easy to lower the Honkai faction's favorability discount to below 90%. And even if the Herrscher Core of Flame core is gone, wouldn't the Herrscher Core of Wind core and the Herrscher Core of Death core still be available?

Thinking about it carefully, aside from the Herrscher of the Void Core Schicksal given to K423, enabling her to grow into Kiana, and the Herrscher Core of Flame core later being used on the Blank Divine Key, the Destiny faction almost ruined the Gem of Desire representing the Herrscher Core and the Serenity Gem representing the Herrscher Core.

The Herrscher Core created Wendy, the Herrscher of Wind, but also lost an excellent A-rank Valkyrie who could have become an S-rank Valkyrie.

The Herrscher Core of Death was even used by Cocolia, who planned to cause another Honkai in Singapore, just like in Changkong City.

Come to think of it, this point in time seems to be some time later.

Otto is utterly wicked.

You have the Herrscher Core, why don't you use it properly? Why do you have to cause trouble?

And Cocolia was also extremely wicked.

One Great Honkai of the Changkong City wasn't enough; are you planning to Great Honkai another one?

Tsk tsk.

While inwardly cursing these two biggest troublemakers in Honkai Impact 3rd, Chen Luo gradually brought the Herrscher Core of Flame core and the Vision closer.

The Herrscher Core of Flame, its entire body glowing red and emitting sparks, caused the Vision begin to glow faintly blue after it approached to a certain distance. This reaction had already occurred even before Chen Luo used his elemental power.

There's hope!

Chen Luo was overjoyed!

Chapter 127 Honkai Consciousness... Not-So-Smart

"You son of a bitch!" Chen Luo cursed directly.

Chen Luo initially thought that the Vision's unique characteristics after the Herrscher Core approached meant it could devour the Vision Herrscher Core. But...

Under Chen Luo's expectant gaze, the Vision and the Herrscher Core touched each other. The Vision seemed to exert a unique suction force, drawing all the flames in the Herrscher Core into the Vision.

After the flames were completely extinguished and the Herrscher Core returned to silence, the Vision was like a dead thing, completely abandoned.

"Good heavens, I'm really saying good heavens! I thought you were interested in the Herrscher Core, but it turns out you're only interested in the Honkai energy inside. Aren't you just like a scumbag who takes someone's body and then runs away?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Luo was immediately enraged.

I fucking

No, ntmd

No, that's not right either. Anyway, I'm so angry!

Enraged, Chen Luo placed the Vision and the Herrscher Core in one hand and began pressing them down frantically.

"We have to merge, whether we want to or not, or I'll smash your place!"

"Buzz!" The Vision trembled in protest as it felt an extremely large object being forced into its body.

"Hmm, since it's reached the 4-star top-grade level, it has developed a faint spirituality? That's perfect, hurry up and eat this Herrscher Core for me." After discovering that his Vision had a certain degree of Vision, Chen Luo continued to threaten it.

When something is around for a long time, it develops a kind of spirituality. This doesn't mean that a spirit or something similar appears; it simply means that it has become much stronger and thus has acquired a certain level of spirituality.

An object is naturally very sensitive to what benefits it, and this gives rise to a certain instinct.

As the owner of the Vision, Chen Luo could vaguely sense the thoughts of the Vision, which possessed spirituality.

For example, the Vision is currently resisting the integration of the Herrscher Core.

"You still dare to resist? Do you know this is good for you? This is the Herrscher Core, far superior to your Vision." Chen Luo said angrily.

"Buzz!"

Sensing the unusual movements emanating from the two items after the forced fusion, Chen Luo ultimately chose to let go.

Because these two things are completely incompatible, forcibly fusing them together felt to Chen Luo like squeezing two stones together.

The final result will likely be that one of the two stones breaks or both break.

"I have a feeling that if we continue to merge, the Vision will shatter." That's the feeling the Vision conveyed to Chen Luo.

"Is it because the attributes don't match that they can't be fused? What if we use the Herrscher Core of Wind core instead?" Chen Luo muttered to himself.

Holding the Wind Vision, Chen Luo suddenly had a subtle premonition that if he fused the Wind Herrscher Core with the Wind Vision, there would be a wonderful reaction.

The performance of the Vision just now proves that the fusion of the Herrscher Core and the Vision is possible.

The problem is that the Vision is now a four-star top-tier item after absorbing so much Honkai energy, while the quality of the Herrscher Core is no less than that of the Vision.

At the same time, due to the incompatibility between their attributes, their compatibility is not high, so the Vision has no interest in the Herrscher Core of Flame.

What if we switch to the Herrscher Core of the Wind core?

"I have a feeling that the key to breaking through to the five-star level for the Vision lies in that Herrscher Core. Maybe I need to go find Wendy... Hmm, no rush. Let me go back and Google Wendy's situation first. Besides, I just finished seven days of work, so I should rest for a while."

Of course, the most crucial point is that Chen Luo is not sure if the Plague Gem of Desire be moved after Chen Luo takes it. After all, it is normal for Otto, that old schemer, to take some precautions after encountering an unknown enemy.

The Blank Divine Key was stolen by an unknown bandit, and the Void Archive the Plague Gem was also stolen. If Otto doesn't take some precautions, Chen Luo will wonder if the other party has lost his mind after being hit by the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo never hesitated to speculate with the utmost malice about Otto and Cocolia, the Honkai Impact 3rd.

Thinking about it from the perspective of that cunning old fox, what if that bastard Otto put Durandal in the location of a Herrscher Core? If Chen Luo tries to steal the Herrscher Core, wouldn't he have to fight Durandal again?

Well, or rather, setting up some other kind of trap is also quite difficult.

Of course, this doesn't mean Chen Luo wasn't confident in getting the Herrscher Core. After all, do you understand the value of Teleport Anchor?

Even if there is an unstoppable enemy, just throw him into the War Domain and he'll be fine, even if it's Durandal.

Chen Luo was unwilling to argue with Durandal unless there were special circumstances, after all, they were friends.

"To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. Let's gather some intelligence first. I wonder if Durandal will come to the bar in the next couple of days. It would be better to ask her directly then," Chen Luo thought, stroking his chin.

"Thinking about it more deeply, if Otto finds out about the bar, won't he come there too? That would save me the trouble of going looking for him. Wouldn't it be better to just get information out of him directly?"

"Or perhaps the other party will use these gems as a reward for reviving Kallen? After all, for Otto, there is nothing he cannot give up as long as he can revive Kallen."

Chen Luo's ideals are lofty, and reality is indeed quite so. The possibilities that Chen Luo is currently imagining are not necessarily impossible.

Having considered things so far ahead, Chen Luo decided to let go of the Vision.

Although he could clearly sense the faint desire of the Vision to absorb more Honkai energy, Chen Luo simply hung it on his waist without deliberately gathering Honkai energy for it. This was because Chen Luo had figured it out: he was just 1% away from becoming a five-star item, but that 1% might be more difficult than the previous 99% combined.

What is this Pinduoduo Vision?

To break through the Vision, we should focus our efforts on the Gem of Desire, which is the Herrscher Core of Wind.

After resolving his own affairs, Chen Luo reactivated his Herrscher's Body and turned off the option to block Honkai Consciousness.

Because Chen Luo needs to use his Herrscher identity to do some things, the Herrscher's Body is essential.

Simply using the Herrscher's Body to absorb Honkai energy is difficult for the Honkai Consciousness to detect, and there is no need to turn off this shield.

However, if one tries to influence Honkai Beasts using the identity of Herrscher, the Honkai Consciousness will definitely detect it.

By both blocking the Honkai Consciousness and using the identity of Herrscher to cause trouble, it's no wonder the Honkai faction's discount has increased.

A few seconds after Chen Luo turned off the shield, that familiar, faint sense of being watched returned.

"What's wrong with this Honkai Consciousness? It's a complete voyeur," Chen Luo thought to himself.

Despite his complaints, Chen Luo still had to get to work. Chen Luo activated the additional abilities granted by his Herrscher identity and began to sense the Militants and Honkai Beasts around him.

After realizing that there weren't many Honkai Beasts around the survivor base, Chen Luo began using his Herrscher Authority to draw a circle around the survivor base, which meant that Chen Luo was beginning to define the area around the survivor base as his own territory.

Although Chen Luo, as Herrscher, cannot influence the Honkai Beasts and Militants other than himself, he can still prevent them from coming to this territory.

These are all unclaimed Militants. If Chen Luo is willing to put in the effort, he could turn them all into his own. But if he turns them all into his own, where will he farm Primogem?

After the Herrscher's Body was semi-conceptualized and the Herrscher Authority became talents, Chen Luo could now obtain Primogem by killing high-level Honkai Beasts. This was the biggest benefit of this modification in Chen Luo's opinion.

Since Chen Luo is currently only a Herrscher of Domination, the circle that Chen Luo can draw for his own territory, apart from the Chiba Academy, is only a very small area, just enough to cover the survivor base and a small area around it.

"Alright, now we don't have to worry about the safety of the survivor base anymore. Time to go kill the Honkai Beasts. Cough cough, all of this is for the rise of the Honkai faction! Disguise yourself as Herrscher who leans towards those despicable humans, and then strike at the crucial moment. Just like the Thousand-Man Herrscher did before."

Because Chen Luo accidentally revealed his true feelings, he had to fabricate an even bigger lie to cover it up.

[Ding! Honkai faction item exchange discount is 9.4%]

"Sigh... I feel like the task ahead is arduous and far-reaching." Chen Luo sighed.

Based on Chen Luo's understanding over the years, the kind of favorability rating becomes increasingly difficult to increase as time goes on.

Increasing favorability in the early stages is easy; if Chen Luo relies on his own achievements, he can even achieve a discount of 10% or even 20%.

For example, if a loli fox girl with animal ears under the age of 14 were to appear, with all buffs stacked, it's very possible that she could get an 80% discount.

But it will get slower and slower later on.

For example, Yuyuko raised the discount to 75% in just a few days, and even after feeding her for several days in a row, the discount didn't drop by even 0.1%.

As Chen Luo pondered this, he took something out of his backpack and placed it on the rooftop platform of the building.

"I don't think I've ever used this before," Chen Luo said, looking at the small, unmanned, floating warship in front of him.

The technology of Anti-Entropy, which allows them to manufacture unmanned warships, is enough to make them thrive in Chen Luo's world, but only in the surface world.

In the Dark World, a place teeming with all sorts of demons and monsters, dealing with a floating warship is incredibly easy.

This time, Chen Luo did not enter the warship, but instead placed his hand directly on the hull of the small, floating, unmanned stealth warship.

Herrscher of Corrosion Authority... Talent activated.

The essence of the Herrscher of Corrosion is an ultimate form of virus, and its invasion scope extends beyond just machines.

In just a moment, the small, floating, unmanned stealth warship in front of Chen Luo was instantly corroded.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo suddenly frowned.

Because Chen Luo suddenly discovered something he hadn't noticed before.

That is, this small airship has a backup plan in addition to remote control - a unique alarm and information location providing device.

This device will not be triggered in the War Domain, but it will be triggered in the real world.

However, even the most advanced civilization in the last era could not resist the control of the Herrscher of Corrosion, let alone the mere Anti-Entropy.

The alarm device was intercepted by Chen Luo before the message could be sent.

"I always feel that this thing is quite useful in certain situations..." Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

This reminded Chen Luo of the concept of Anti-Entropy in the wronged.

"How about we go to ME Company?" Chen Luo suddenly remembered the place where he first met the members of Anti-Entropy in a certain sense.

Chen Luo remembered that ME Company also had a Honkai energy. If Chen Luo was not mistaken, that reactor should not have been dismantled yet, after all, a lot of strange things have happened in the past few days.

Herrscher seem to be appearing in Changkong City as if they were free, while dismantling the Honkai energy Reactor is a huge undertaking.

It's possible to conduct experiments at the former ME Company site in Changkong City, but dismantling it would be extremely difficult, especially given that Chen Luo had taken away the vast majority of Anti-Entropy's mechs.

However, what troubled Chen Luo was that he had not set up Teleport Anchor there.

Chen Luo jumped up and landed on the floating warship, then gently patted it.

The airship began to slowly take off without anyone operating it. While sitting on the airship, Chen Luo was controlling the ship to fly towards ME Company and began to hack into Anti-Entropy the ship's built-in internal communication channel.

To be honest, Chen Luo had always felt that there was something wrong with the Honkai Consciousness. If it had let the Herrscher of Corrosion appear first, then the entire human civilization would have been doomed.

While it's true that this Honkai Consciousness or the Herrscher Authority it's granted can develop in different directions depending on the situation, which is quite humane, it just doesn't work very well.

Since the previous civilization already possessed nuclear weapons, it means that the original human nations must have had nuclear armaments, and there should have been at least two of them.

It would be very simple for humanity to destroy the world; all it would need to do is launch nuclear missiles at various countries without any scruples.

These things are indeed very simple for the Herrscher of Corrosion.

What is this "Honkai Consciousness" anyway?

This is a classic case of a player getting an excellent hand in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) but not bidding to be the landlord. However, the landlord relentlessly attacked and bombarded the player until the landlord had only one card left. The landlord then played four Aces, followed by a straight, and finally four twos with two Kings to secure the win.
