Himeko, Your Hyperion Is Great, but It's About to Be Mine!

"In fact, I was the main force researching the Seventh Herrscher's body some time ago, while the other members of the Fire Moth didn't seem to put much effort into it. They were more inclined to research other directions, such as how to properly create Divine Key, etc."

"However, I've temporarily put this aspect aside because of the new knowledge you've acquired recently."

"Ah, so that's how it is..."

So, Chen Luo seems to remember that back when he was the Second Herrscher, Mobius had secretly studied the Second Herrscher's body, which was then discovered by Elysia. In the end Mobius claimed it was for the sake of human evolution.

Chen Luo was also unaware of what Mobius had discovered by studying the other's body, nor did he know whether the existence of Flame-Chaser was due to their research into the Herrscher's body.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"No, it's nothing. I'm going to get my salary advance now, goodbye." After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the Seventh Herrscher's body, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately slipped out of the lounge.

But just a second after leaving the lounge, Chen Luo returned.

"By the way, Snake Snake, do you still have those 100 copies of the lab safety rules that Danzhu gave you last time?" Chen Luo asked.

"Yes, what for?" Mobius asked.

"Let me borrow it for a moment. I'll give it to Danzhu so she can hand in her punishment copy," Chen Luo said honestly.

"... It's on the shelf, take it yourself." Mobius sighed.

First, Mobius made Danju copy the text as punishment.

Then Chen Luo accepted the commission.

After accepting the commission, he retrieved the punishment copy that Danzhu had submitted last time from Mobius and gave it to Danzhu.

After Danzhu received the punishment copy, he handed it to Mobius.

Mobius then handed it back to Chen Luo...

Only the world where Danzhu was injured was complete!

Throughout the entire process, only Danzhu was filled with fear and anxiety.

After Chen Luo retrieved the thick stack of documents from the bookshelf, he did not immediately give them to Danzhu to complete.

The problem is that, rationally speaking, it's impossible to finish copying it quickly if you do it 100 times.

Moreover, in order to prevent Danzhu from taking the transfer of the punishment of copying to Chen Luo for granted, Chen Luo needed to keep Danzhu in suspense.

Besides, even if Mobius punishes Danzhu, he'll always find a time when Danzhu is slacking off.

So it really doesn't need to be too frequent.

After receiving his two months' salary in advance from Klein, and giving her a cup of milk tea and some Primogem, Chen Luo left the First Civilization Era.

"Ah, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Chen Luo said to Himeko and the others who were waiting in the bar.

"Hmm, knowing you've kept us waiting, bring us a few more bottles of good wine," Himeko said imposingly.

"But, Himeko- sensei, didn't we just arrive a minute ago?" Kiana asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Operation Nine Netherworlds is about to begin. Stop chatting and get out of the bar to board the ship." Himeko rubbed her temples, looking a bit annoyed, and then gave the order as if nothing had happened.

He then stood up decisively, took a few steps, and pushed open the Bar Door himself.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's everyone else who's embarrassed.

"Sigh, Himeko- sensei, you still haven't answered me..."

Chapter 441 Himeko, your Hyperion is good, but it will soon be mine!

"Is this the Hyperion battleship?" Chen Luo looked up at the huge floating warship parked in front of him.

"That's right, this is the Hyperion. It is equipped with 6 430 mm railguns, 6 270 mm railguns... and a 133-meter-long ship-slaying sword, the Sunfire Greatsword."

"It uses Leonov Anti-Gravity Engine and can take off and land vertically. It has six nuclear fusion reactors. During normal flight, only four nuclear fusion reactors are operational, while the other two are usually kept in reserve."

"And the Hyperion's strongest conventional attack is its main gun, an electromagnetically driven railgun," Himeko Murata, the captain of the Hyperion, proudly told Chen Luo.

"Hmm, it sounds so-so..." Chen Luo said uncertainly after thinking for a moment.

That's it? That's it? That's it?

"Heh, I knew you'd say that. The Hyperion's trump card isn't the railgun, it's me, Himeko Murata. I am the Hyperion's trump card, the Hyperion's true main gun!" Himeko Murata said, looking at the Hyperion with great pride.

"It won't be like that after a while," Chen Luo said quietly.

"Huh?" Himeko was taken aback.

"Himeko, what do you think of me? Am I captain material?" Chen Luo asked.

"You little brat, you've got your eye on my Hyperion, haven't you? I'm warning you, this is my personal vehicle. Don't you dare get any funny ideas, or I'll arrest you," Himeko said, clenching her fist.

"No, what's the point of robbing? That's beneath us. St. Freya Academy is, after all St. Freya Academy of Schicksal. What do you think the chances are that if I talk to Otto and ask him to give me the Hyperion, he'll agree?" Chen Luo looked at the Hyperion and nodded in satisfaction before turning to Himeko and asking.

"???"

Isn't this even worse than robbery?

"I wonder if we can clean up its main gun after we take the Hyperion..." Chen Luo pondered, stroking his chin.

"Don't go too far, or I'll beat you up. And were you just confessing your feelings to me?"

Himeko also knew that Chen Luo seemed to have entered a honeymoon period with Otto recently, giving away two priceless villas and islands without hesitation.

Himeko is certain that no one else can take away her exclusive vehicle, but Chen Luo is not so sure.

And I just said that I am the main gun of the Hyperion. You turn around and want to clean the main gun. What do you mean by that?

"Himeko, you've misunderstood. How can a woman compare to a main gun? You're overthinking it," Chen Luo said, patting Himeko on the shoulder.

"Besides, isn't this all for your own good? Himeko, your health is deteriorating day by day. Wouldn't it be better for you to retire and become a teacher? I'll take over your estate."

"..." Himeko walked towards the Hyperion with a dark expression.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't beat Chen Luo, Himeko would have hung him on the Hyperion's main cannon right now and let him fly in the wind.

"Hey, don't walk so fast. How about you give it to me as payment for healing you?"

"The little kid should just go and sleep with his mom," Himeko Murata said dismissively.

Chen Luo and Himeko Murata arrived late, while Kiana and the others had already boarded the Hyperion.

"Class President, are you going to the Nine Netherworlds with us this time?" Kiana asked, looking at Fu Hua, who was dressed in classical attire.

"Yes. This time Valkyrie, Chen Luo strongly insisted that I go. Although I don't understand why, I'm sure he has his reasons. Moreover, as one of the few A-rank Schicksal among the St. Freya students, it's only right that I accompany them to the St. Freya Academy to carry out logistical work and serve as a reserve force for combat when facing such an important operation." Fu Hua pushed up her non-prescription glasses and said.

"What kind of pipes is Chen Luo selling this time?"

"It's a mystery," Fu Hua corrected.

There's quite a difference between pipes and sluices.

This applies even to pronunciation.

"Oh, that's enough to get the gist of it." Kiana waved her hand dismissively.

"Wow, this is the interior of the Hyperion. Although... this is really the first time I've ever seen the interior of such a large floating warship." Chen Luo followed behind Himeko Murata, examining the floating warship.

He was looking at it while also touching it randomly with his hands.

"Don't touch things randomly, especially not on the bridge. Do you know what each button means? What if you make a mistake?" Himeko scolded.

"Hilarious! Let me tell you, even if you asked me to pilot the Hyperion right now, I could make you drift in mid-air," Chen Luo said dismissively.

Whom do you look down on?

"You're just bragging, piloting the Hyperion." Kiana expressed her disdain.

"Alright, you two stop arguing. Nobody knows how to do this, right?" Mei stood by and tried to mediate.

"I have quite a bit of experience piloting airships," Bronya said, fiddling with the handheld console in her hand.

"Hey, can you pilot a hovercraft?"

"No, but I can have Ai-chan control the Hyperion to achieve the same goal," Bronya said coldly.

"Are you kidding me? You think I'd just fly a spaceship because you tell me to? Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Suddenly, a holographic projection appeared in front of Chen Luo and the others.

"Oh, it's Ai-chan. By the way, Chen Luo, let me introduce you. This is Ai-chan, the artificial intelligence on the Hyperion." Himeko Murata pointed to Ai-chan and introduced her to Chen Luo.

"Ta-da! The world's cutest idol Ai-chan dazzling entrance!" As soon as a newcomer arrived, flower petals began to flutter around Ai-chan.

"Don't use Hyperion's electricity for such pointless things," Himeko said, sounding a bit annoyed.

"What? This is Ai-chan's idol aura, not something made of electricity." Ai-chan shook her head, denying Himeko's words.

"..." Himeko had some doubts about the veracity of Ai-chan's words.

"Brother, I don't know why, but you look very familiar to me." Ai-chan looked at Chen Luo with some curiosity.

"Oh, really? Perhaps we met 50,000 years ago," Chen Luo replied dismissively.

"Oh, right, let's shake hands." Chen Luo extended his hand to Ai-chan.

"Oh, boss... why do I call you boss? Never mind, I've always admired people like you who treat me like a perfect idol." Ai-chan happily reached out and shook hands with Chen Luo.

Ai-chan is quite happy that Chen Luo treats her like a real person.

"Hello, my Chen Luo, the next captain of the Hyperion."

Himeko frowned.

"Hello, my name is Ai, you can call me Ai-chan, I am the world's cutest idol."

Theresa's eyes sharpened.

When Chen Luo shook hands with Ai-chan, he truly felt as if he were touching a real person's hand.

Of course, it's only similar, but not entirely the same as the real person.

Don't think that Ai-chan is just a virtual AI. Ai-chan used to be able to fight Theresa to a standstill, so she used to have a physical form.

Ai-chan's full name is "Autonomous Combat Unit AI". She is a guardian autonomous combat unit of the previous generation's "19: K23 Containment Facility", which was destroyed by the Honkai.

Her mission is to protect the "World's Final Key" which was destroyed by the "Final Herrscher," and she is awakened by Theresa Apocalypse, who comes to investigate the anomalies on the isolated island in the Arctic Ocean.

At the beginning, Ai-chan was an incredibly cool and aloof older sister with a nine-headed figure, the kind that was super cool.

As for why it grew into a cabbage head shape...

That's because Ai-chan was initially very arrogant, believing that a short person like Theresa, who was too emotional, was not qualified to possess the Divine Key, the Oath of Judah.

Then the two of them started fighting.

And then Ai-chan lost.

Ai-chan couldn't beat Theresa not because Ai-chan was weak; in fact, Ai-chan had the upper hand at one point during their fight, until she took an arrow to the knee.

Because it hasn't been charged for 50,000 years, Ai-chan has gone out...

Perhaps that's why Ai-chan became obsessed with stealing electricity after becoming the Hyperion's intelligent AI.

Ai-chan's current role is as the AI girl of the Hyperion battleship, responsible for maintaining and assisting in the command of the battleship, managing supplies, data analysis, and other combat operations.

As an artificial intelligence from Previous Era, the other party may have actually interacted with Chen Luo or knew information about Chen Luo. Unfortunately, Theresa took away the main body of the AI and connected it with the warship Hyperion, which extended its life to some extent, but the other party lost most of its memories and abilities.

As for why the other party was able to shake hands with Chen Luo with a near-physical touch?

The answer is that Honkai energy is omnipotent.

"I always feel like you and Fu Hua are quite similar," Chen Luo said after looking at Ai-chan and then at Fu Hua.

"Why did the boss say that?" Ai-chan, sounding a little puzzled.

"Because you two are both ancient relics from Previous Era, and you've both lost your memories and many of your abilities," Chen Luo thought to himself.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, shouldn't we set off now?" Chen Luo asked.

"Okay, boss. Let's go now." Ai-chan nodded.

"Ahem." Himeko Murata coughed twice.

"Himeko, what's wrong? Has your condition worsened again? Should we arrange for you to be tested right now?" her beloved general asked caringly.

"I'm the captain, why are you listening to him?" Himeko Murata said, her face darkening, revealing the crux of the matter.

"Ah, sorry, I almost forgot." Ai-chan scratched her head sheepishly.

"... Don't blame Ai-chan, blame me instead!" Chen Luo suddenly said.
