Magician: "Wow, this Herrscher sounds really powerful. Will it be too much of a challenge for us?"

Conductor: "I'm more curious about how Bai Ge determined her powers, based solely on these unconscious patients?"

Expert: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about these things. Anyway, it won't be long before Bai Ge takes care of this Herrscher. Let's think about what kind of God Keys we should make from this core that can manipulate consciousness."

Yandere: "Is this even a question? It has to be a hypnosis app!!"

Everyone: "... Applause! A genius!"

Yandere: "When the time comes, I'll use this God Keys Bai Ge... hehehehehehe~~"

Everyone in the meeting room stared speechlessly at Vill-V, who suddenly wore a terrible expression. They wondered what had gotten into her. Had she been attacked by the Eighth Herrscher and lost her mind?

Bai Ge's eye twitched as he wondered what kind of personality his beloved inventor had created for him.

He then took out a pen and threw it at her, hitting Vill-V on the head and bringing her back to her senses.

"Ahem! In short, be on high alert. During this period Moth Chasing Fire be cut off from the outside world and will use our internal network to avoid being attacked by the powers of the Herrscher. At the same time, notify the whole world to send sleeping sickness patients to Moth Chasing Fire's hospital."

"Lord Bai Ge, how should we deal with this Herrscher? The Great Honkai didn't happen, and we can't even find her location now."

Everyone looked uneasy. This was the first time humanity had encountered Herrscher who was so cunning and manipulative; for a moment, no one knew what to do.

After all, what's the use of possessing immense power if you can't find the enemy? And how exactly can you deal with an enemy who can manipulate consciousness?

However, just as everyone was filled with worry and fear...

"Don't worry, I'll handle her." (Group chat)

The White Youth remained calm, composed, and incredibly steady.

Immediately, everyone felt a surge of energy, and their unease and fear vanished instantly. 9

They couldn't help but question themselves: what were they worried about? With this great being present, what did it matter if it were Herrscher capable of manipulating consciousness? Humanity would prevail!! 3

Bai Ge nodded slightly to the rekindled morale of the group and said, "This is a new test that the Honkai has placed on humanity, but we will overcome it. I will deal with the Eighth Herrscher; the rest of you, go search for and subdue the Companion Honkai Beast."

"Yes!!" xN6

Herrscher have many ways to obtain Honkai Energy; the Great Honkai is just one of them. 4

However, there's no doubt that the Herrscher of Reason, who was quietly born without triggering the Great Honkai, would be very weak. Therefore, the Honkai would definitely arrange for the Companion Honkai Beast to serve as guardians of the Eighth Herrscher. 4

Bai Ge remembered that the Eighth Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast was an Emperor-class peacock, which was eventually fused with by Su.

The Flame-Chasers present were eager to fight.

Aili: "Oh dear~ It seems the Herrscher will be Bai Bai's prey again this time, but the Companion Honkai Beast is definitely mine!"

Kevin: "Sorry, Elysia, I'll take care of that Honkai Beast!"

Magnificent. "..."

Kosma: "..."

Kalpas: "Hmph! Boring, I'll be going first."

Several hours later, inside the hospital of the Moth Chasing Fire.

Although it has only been one day, tens of thousands of people around the world have already fallen into a deep sleep, but fortunately they are only unconscious at the moment.

These sleeping people are not yet dead, and are being investigated by the extremely rare spiritual-sensory Fusion Warrior within the Moth Chasing Fire, who are capable of resisting the Herrscher Authority of Knowledge.

They have figured out the Herrscher's methods.

"It's actually a memetic weapon. What terrifying power! All these unconscious people have seen the keyword 'contaminated' by the Herrscher of Reason of Knowledge using her power. It seems their consciousness is all trapped in a dream controlled by the Herrscher."

Dr. Mei said with a serious expression.

The code name for the Herrscher of Reason has been fully established.

She can designate certain keywords and turn them into meme weapons. For example, keywords such as "comics," "disaster," and "Honkai" have now been corrupted by her powers.

Now, anyone who sees these words will have their mind manipulated, and their consciousness will be trapped in a dream created by the Herrscher.

During the process of people falling asleep, their bodily functions will rapidly decline due to the influence of power, and they will die completely in just a few days. Unlike a certain Sword Art Online game where players can survive for more than three years, this game does not allow players to live forever.

"Ban all the words we've identified so far. We must reduce the number of victims no matter what."

"It's been dealt with. The number of patients with narcolepsy has stopped increasing. However, if the Herrscher of Reason isn't completely eliminated, she can still turn other words into meme weapons."

Dr. Mei's recently created artificial intelligence robot, Prometheus, has made a great contribution.

This artificial intelligence has found all the keywords that have turned the Herrscher of Reason into sources of contamination by searching the browser records of patients with narcolepsy.

· ······Requesting flowers····· ·

Then these words were directly erased from the entire internet, which directly curbed the number of victims. However, this was only a temporary measure. Those Herrscher of Reason can continue to create polluting words.

Although her Honkai Energy is very low, limiting her influence to a very small area—perhaps even the area of a city—through the [network], the Herrscher of Reason has expanded the scope of her authority to the entire world!

"It's alright, is the Observation Hub set up yet?"

Bai Ge remained calm, his trump card already prepared. He couldn't wait to see what the Shishi from the Previous Civilization looked like.

"Oh, it's amazing that you could think of this solution so quickly. It's already set up. I'll have to ask you for help again, Bai Ge."

Mei said solemnly as she led Bai Ge to a device and installed the connector on the boy's armor.

Next, Bai Ge and Misteln will connect with the consciousness of these narcolepsy patients to enter the dream created by the Herrscher of Reason, and then trace the Herrscher's location in reverse.

As long as they can access the Herrscher of Reason in their dreams, this Observation Hub can simultaneously pinpoint the Herrscher's coordinates in the real world.

"Leave it to me and Misteln. We'll find the Herrscher's coordinates, and if we're lucky, we might even take her out in a dream."

"Rest assured, Dr. Mei, after all, the dream world is my home turf. This Herrscher has chosen the wrong method."

Bai Ge and Misteln said with great confidence.

Incidentally, Elysia and the others were efficient enough that the Herrscher of Herrscher of Reason's Companion Honkai Beast had already been killed.

It was indeed a large, green peacock, said to be able to use neurotoxins, but it was not powerful and was even quite weak, not even reaching the Judgment-class.

Now that the Herrscher of Reason has lost its trump card of Companion Honkai Beast and has quietly descended at the cost of giving up a large amount of Honkai Energy, once the location of the Moth Chasing Fire is discovered, it will be a huge disaster!

"Without further ado, let's set off immediately."

Bai Ge and Misteln put on the helmets that linked their consciousness, and then Mei reminded them.

"Oh, right, you two shouldn't forget to help the patients with narcolepsy. Their consciousness has been hijacked into their dreams by the Herrscher, and we can't wake them up from the outside."

"Okay, okay, it's no big deal."

Bai Ge waved his hand and closed his eyes.

"Misteln, Link-Start!"

Okay~

Then Misteln used her power to take Bai Ge into the dream of a sleeping sickness patient.

When Bai Ge regained his vision, he found himself in a place with a very familiar atmosphere.

"Hmm, it feels the same, but this Herrscher of Reason's taste needs improvement. The details are still vague. Thumbs down, after all, my Misteln is far inferior."

Bai Ge looked around and commented.

"Hehe~ Thank you for the compliment, Master."

Misteln immediately showed a happy expression. Now, she would prepare a carefully crafted lucid dream for Bai Ge every night, so Bai Ge knew very well what it felt like to dream.

Misteln then used her abilities to sense things and immediately understood everything.

"I see, is that how it is?"

"Hmm? Do you know what?"

"Yes, it's mostly clear now. The Herrscher of Reason has imprisoned all the narcolepsy patients in a dream. She has arranged a beautiful dream for each person based on their desires and used it as a prison. As long as the dream is broken or the person dreaming is killed, they can return to the real world."

Misteln pointed in a certain direction as she spoke.

Bai Ge looked over and saw a man lying on a mountain of gold and silver, laughing as he embraced two women on either side. It was a "simple and unadorned" dream.

Although its simplistic and brutal approach is absurd, it's certainly enough to make countless people unwilling to wake up from their dreams. After all, most people in the world are ordinary. Bai Ge understands this, and then...

He silently picked up the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment in Might of An-Utu Mode.

Misteln: "I can swap dreams and reality, so in your dreams you can also use all the abilities and equipment of the real world, so feel free to use them."

Bai Ge: "Very well, tremble, you sleepy people! Today, I, the savior, will become your nightmare! Heavenly Fire Unleashed!"

The next second, the raging fire instantly destroyed the man's dream. Before he could even react, he was burned to ashes by the overwhelming flames.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

"Holy crap, what the hell?!" The man screamed as he sat bolt upright in his deathbed, then looked around blankly. "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

"Wow? Bai Ge is really efficient."

Mei blinked in surprise, looking admiringly at the White Youth lying in the Observation Hub.

"Wait, theoretically speaking, although Bai Ge is currently dreaming, his consciousness is not inside his own body, so it is difficult for him to be disturbed by the outside world. No matter how loud the noise is, he won't wake up right now..."
