Himiko, Played to Pieces

Unlike other Flame-Chasers who joined the Fire Moth Flame-Chasers forced or unwilling, they all had something they were pursuing.

But Fu Hua was different; from beginning to end, Fu Hua was just an ordinary person caught up in the disaster.

I don't know why I'm working so hard, but I'm willing to keep fighting for this Honkai world.

Others fight for their own goals, but Fu Hua fights only to find that goal.

Over the tens of thousands of years that have progressed forward, Fu Hua has lost many things, such as her friends Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, the Book of Cang Xuan, the 13 Flame-Chasers died for various reasons, and Chen Luo who refused to enter the cryogenic chamber, saying that he had other methods, but whom she had never met in the Second Civilization Era.

Just like... that resolute figure shrouded in flames before my eyes.

The other party seemed to have indeed been resurrected, but Fu Hua was deeply worried about their appearance after resurrection, which resembled that of Previous Era, having lost their reason and intellect.

Fu Hua gradually developed a feeling that a historical tragedy was about to repeat itself, Fu Hua did not want to face it.

For Fu Hua now, who has been pushed back to her peak combat power by Chen Luo, killing a Fu Hua of Herrscher of Flame without alerting others is difficult, but not impossible.

And he also has Doctor Mobius, the Herrscher of Knowledge, and Chen Luo, whose true depths he can never see.

But Fu Hua was thinking about reviving her captain, not about reviving him and then killing him again.

Although this scene seemed vivid in her mind, Fu Hua remained calm and watched the world unfold out of trust in Chen Luo.

And in the next instant, just as that figure arrived in front of Fu Hua, his eyes filled with memories and sorrow, yet flames swirled in his hand as if he were about to launch an attack...

The flames died down.

Without warning, the flames that had engulfed all of Australia seemed to have lost their source, turning into rootless duckweed in the operating room and burning out almost instantly.

Himiko, who had just reached Fu Hua, seemed to suddenly lose her strength, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

Upon discovering that the barrier around her had been removed without her noticing, Fu Hua rushed forward and caught the figure that was about to fall.

Feeling the warmth of the figure in her arms, Fu Hua suddenly had the illusion of traveling back 50,000 years and pulling the captain, who was about to fall into the abyss, back into her arms.

"Magnificent..."

The voice was so weak that Fu Hua initially thought it was an illusion, but the real strength of the grip on her arm instantly dispelled Fu Hua suspicions, and she looked at the woman in her arms.

"Captain." The call that had traveled through 50,000 years rang out at this moment.

The Herrscher of Knowledge quietly watched from the sidelines, without rushing up to disturb the two.

The Herrscher of Knowledge, who is usually quite unconventional, seemed to have become a different person at this moment.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Alright, you two, stop being so lovey-dovey and separate now." Unexpectedly, Chen Luo suddenly appeared next to Fu Hua.

"Luo, thank you." Fu Hua's gaze towards Chen Luo was extremely complex, so much so that even Chen Luo, the Herrscher of Knowledge, couldn't fathom the range of emotions conveyed in her eyes.

"Oh, you said thank you, and I'm really happy about that, but if we don't leave soon, we'll really be discovered," Chen Luo said, patting Fu Hua on the shoulder.

After Chen Luo spoke, Himiko, who had collapsed in Fu Hua's arms, looked up at Chen Luo.

A person I've never met before.

But Himiko recognized him.

Puppet maker Chen Luo.

In that instant, Himiko realized her true identity.

Himiko is a person who has already been Puppet Transformation by Chen Luo.

The other party's time was indeed reversed, but the fact that the other party was completely Puppet Transformation could not be changed.

Just like when Morgan was Puppet Transformation, Chen Luo found that the other party still could not be resurrected by the resurrection ability. After using [Time] to go back, the Puppet Transformation of the other party was not reversed.

Time does not have a negative impact on users.

It's impossible for Chen Luo to use his Time Ability to revive the other party, only to be betrayed by them in the end.

At that time, Chen Luo Puppet Transformation in order to repair the other person's body.

Even now, the Puppet Transformation hasn't lost its significance, because to fully maintain Himiko's existence, the Puppet Transformation function is still needed.

"Luo, why is the captain so weak right now?" Fu Hua asked.

"Because she doesn't have Herrscher Core inside her. It's no wonder that Herrscher Core has been taken is weak," Chen Luo said helplessly.

That's right, the flames just now weren't the full-fledged Herrscher of Flame of Fire's fiery blaze, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to suppress.

"Hmm?" Fu Hua instantly became alert.

"The reason the other party doesn't have Herrscher Core isn't because my Time Ability prevents Herrscher Core from returning it. I did this intentionally out of necessity. But don't worry, you guys go back to the bar first. Give me five minutes, and I'll get you Herrscher Core." Chen Luo said as he pushed open the Bar Door.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll restore this lab." Chen Luo urged Fu Hua, Himiko, and the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Looking at the weak Himiko in her arms, Fu Hua chose to trust Chen Luo, and then helped Himiko walk towards the Bar Door that was just a stone's throw away, with the Herrscher of Knowledge following closely behind.

After the three of them left and Bar Door, Chen Luo's magic surged.

Fortunately, Chen Luo had learned about restoration magic in Estelle's magic school.

So Chen Luo spent a very short time combining alchemy to successfully restore the empty operating room to its original state.

"Let's go, Snake Snake, let's steal the Herrscher Core." After repairing the laboratory, Chen Luo grabbed Mobius's hand and ran out of the laboratory.

"..."

Mobius certainly never imagined that he, as the holder of the No. 1 medal of the Fire Moth, would one day be caught stealing from his own post.

Chen Luo is guilty of heinous crimes!

Chapter 591 Himiko

"What can I do? I'm desperate too. Although it's possible to reverse time and bring the Herrscher Core back into Himiko's body, the key is that we can't do that." Chen Luo complained under his breath as he followed Mobius through the Fire Moth.

"After all, the Herrscher Core of Flame was placed in a safe and secure location, and there were surveillance cameras nearby."

The Herrscher Core of Flame is currently within the engineering department of the Fire Moth organization, and is under constant surveillance.

If they disappear

The Time Ability can indeed allow the Herrscher Core of Flame to return to Himiko's body.

But don't even think about reversing time to make a new Herrscher Core reappear inside Himiko's body.

Since time is reversed through the overall River of Time in this world, then the Herrscher Core of Flame is inherently connected to Himiko.

So don't even think about that fancy trick of taking a Herrscher Core out of Himiko's body, then reversing time to make her generate Herrscher Core, and then taking out another Herrscher Core.

It is not only inhumane, but also impractical.

Chen Luo feared that the Herrscher of Knowledge would forbid him from going to bed with his wife.

However, if you don't use public passages, it seems possible to reverse your time in another world using a private VIP passage.

However, the time required would be several times longer then.

For Chen Luo, time cannot be bought or sold, but the Herrscher Core can.

If Chen Luo really hardened his heart and used Honkai Crystal or top-grade spirit stones as materials, and then used the Void Archive to create Herrscher Core, he could also create a true Herrscher Core.

But time is a true limited edition item.

Therefore, Chen Luo gave Himiko the time to reverse the situation down to the second.

It took her back to a time shortly after she became Herrscher.

They returned to a time when the other person's humanity still existed, only it was gradually being Honkai by the Honkai.

Himiko her humanity throughout, but she was not free.

For various reasons, Chen Luo chose to restore Himiko's body to its original state as if she were still alive, but without taking the Herrscher Core.

Chen Luo felt that if Chen Luo really put the Herrscher Core back into Himiko's body, the threat level would definitely explode.

Without the Herrscher Core of Flame, Heavenly Fire cannot be created, and Kevin will have no suitable weapon.

The importance of the Heavenly Fire Judgment is self-evident; every generation of Kaslana wields this greatsword of pure love.

Other Herrscher Core and Divine Key may not be this important, but it's normal for history to collapse entirely without the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Without the Heavenly Fire Judgment, could Siegfried have killed Sirin?

As for where Himiko should get the Herrscher Core she needs now?

Now take a look at the Herrscher Core, then throw it into the river and copy it into three copies. Wouldn't that give Himiko an extra Herrscher Core?

While a golden one is unlikely to exist, a silver Herrscher Core would be enough for Himiko.

She might even be stronger than Himiko before.

The core of the Herrscher Core was returned to the monitoring room of the Fire Moth, to be used to create the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

The Herrscher Core isn't really necessary for Chen Luo, since Chen Luo already has the Plague Gem.

It's not that anyone who obtains Herrscher Core can become Herrscher. This thing has adaptability, and if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem appropriate to give it to anyone.

Therefore, having one Herrscher Core.

"Isn't that Mobius? What's he doing here so late at night?" Just as Chen Luo and his group approached the laboratory Herrscher Core of Flame, a voice rang out.

"Vill-V?" Mobius turned to look at the newcomer.

"What are you doing here, Mobius? I remember you weren't really interested in the Herrscher Core, Doctor Mobius, but you seem quite interested in the Herrscher's body." Vill-V walked up to Mobius and asked with interest.

"What? Can't I even take a look at the Herrscher Core? As for you, don't you usually not work overtime at night? Or are you in your own workshop? Why are you suddenly here? You shouldn't be at the stage of creating the Seventh Divine Key yet, right?" Mobius glanced at Vill-V.

"Well... that's true. Logically speaking, I should be in my own workshop right now, not in the engineering department, but the problem is that I just received a report that the Herrscher Core of Flame is showing unusual agitation, so I came to check it out," Vill-V said.

"Unusual agitation?" Mobius frowned slightly.

"Yes, according to the monitoring personnel, the Herrscher Core seemed to be cheering and jumping for joy, and flames were spewing from its surroundings, causing the temperature to rise sharply. However, this phenomenon just disappeared," Vill-V said.

"Is that so? Then that's all, I'll be going now." Mobius nodded and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. Mobius, we finally get to see each other, let's talk for a bit."

"I don't recall you being such a talkative person. If you're being overly solicitous, there's something fishy going on. So, what do you want to ask?"

"Uh, I can tell? That... you know... that Kero from your lab, the one named Luo, does he have any favorite things?" Vill-V asked a little shyly.

"...What do you want to do?" Mobius narrowed his eyes when he heard Vill-V flick Chen Luo.

"Don't look at me like that. I just want to get some information about him. I haven't seen such an enthusiastic audience eager for magic shows in a long time. Naturally, I want to prepare a big surprise for him, and gathering information is an important part of that. Of course, if you're really willing to send him to my department, I wouldn't mind. I feel he has a talent for mechanical research," Vill-V said directly.

"...Then go find Cang Xuan and Danzhu. Their intelligence should be more abundant than mine." Mobius glanced to his right and then said.

"Come on, in the entire Fire Moth, you're probably the only one who really knows your little assistant, right? Apart from him, nobody knows anything about his past." Vill-V looked unconvinced.

"Vill-V, but you need to know, surprises only work when the other person is unprepared and unaware."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Literal meaning."

Floating beside Mobius, watching Vill-V who kept saying she was going to give him a surprise, Chen Luo pondered for a moment before continuing to drift toward the place Herrscher Core of Flame was stored.

Chen Luo remained in Void Stealth, hovering beside Mobius, and clearly heard Vill-V's scheme.

In a sense, Vill-V was right; Chen Luo's talent in mechanics might be greater than his talent in human experimentation.

Using his Void Stealth and the Threads of Destiny, Chen Luo pierced through various defenses to reach the laboratory where the Herrscher Core of Flame was stored. After glancing at the comprehensive surveillance cameras, Chen Luo pondered for a moment before exiting the laboratory and then revealing himself.

When Chen Luo is in Void Stealth state, he cannot affect the existence of the main world, just as the existence of the main world cannot affect Chen Luo.

After using the Herrscher of Corrosion's ability to erode the network from a blind spot, Chen Luo felt safe to re-enter the Void Stealth state, pass through the wall, and then unhesitatingly picked up the Herrscher Core that was well placed in the laboratory. He then summoned a river and threw the Herrscher Core into it.

After Chen Luo threw the Herrscher Core of Flame core into the river he had summoned, Chen Luo was summoned again.

When they emerged from the river, they already had three Herrscher Core in their hands.

As expected, the golden Herrscher Core was still about to disappear, while the silver Herrscher Core lay obediently in Chen Luo's hand.

Chen Luo felt heartbroken as he watched the golden green core about to disappear.

This parting is now, and I don't know when we will meet again.

By the time Chen Luo unlocks his talent cap to the point where he can replicate the Golden Herrscher Core, the Herrscher Core of Flame core in his hand might already have been crafted into Heavenly Fire.
