Do the Divine Key Numbers Represent the Herrscher Order? / Smiles Don't Disappear; They Just Move to Someone Else
Theresa pushed Kiana's pretty face away forcefully, "Get away! This part is completely made up by Yaqing. Kiana, you skip class every day, how could you possibly be my most important student?!"
"I don't care! I don't care!"
"Rita, your plan has failed," Shub said with amusement.
"Lady Shub, we've all read the script, so this isn't surprising. Miss Bronya is supposed to be the ultimate hacker, so it would be really strange if she didn't discover my 'little tricks'." Rita's demeanor was elegant, and her speech was respectful, leaving no room for criticism.
"Indeed, but where did Kiana go?" Shigure Kira was equally curious about Kiana's whereabouts.
"Don't look at me, I'm just a lousy artist, I haven't read the script." Patrick shook his head first.
Cheng Lixue had already fallen asleep during the movie; she didn't want to continue watching the plot, which she had seen countless times over the past three months.
Everyone's attention immediately turned to Salome was the highest-ranking among them.
Salome wanted to pretend she hadn't seen it, but feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, she sighed and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't know either. I only have scripts up to this one, 'Angel Rebuild,' and at most two more spin-off web series."
The women knew Salome was lying, but they didn't dare say anything more.
As a director, how could he only have one movie script? He must have at least two more scripts.
Rita is reporting the mission progress to Otto.
"There's no need to report such a small matter. I trust you can handle it." Otto had great confidence in Rita's abilities.
Rita informs Otto of the existence of the humanoid machine.
This piqued Otto's curiosity; he hadn't expected the Gray Serpent to have developed brain quantum computing, so he gave Rita an order.
Bring back the humanoid machine, and you'll need the highest level of access. If it falls into Theresa's hands, then... destroy it at all costs.
"Give the enemy what they fear with all your might. Leave them nothing of what they desire."
"...I understand." Rita's emotions were unclear, but she still had to obey the bishop's orders.
Otto told Rita not to escalate the situation, as intelligence indicated that a large number of mechs had gone out of control on the streets of Sky Dome City.
"Rest assured, everything is under my control." After hanging up the call, Rita wanted to confirm Mei's location, but found that the coordinates were moving around, and immediately realized that her little trick had been seen through.
Rita suddenly remembered Otto's mention of the mecha rampage. Was it really just a coincidence?
"In that case, there's only one path we can take..."
Looking at the "cunning" Bishop Otto, as if everything was under his control, Kallen couldn't believe that the Otto holding her was actually the original.
Kallen kicked Otto.
Otto immediately rolled off the bed, looking at Kallen with a bewildered expression.
Kallen still doesn't understand why Yaqing is so afraid of Otto. She doesn't think it's anything special.
"Yawn!"
In the Central Europe screening room, Yaqing suddenly sneezed.
"Little brother, do you have a cold?" Cecilia asked worriedly.
"No, sister, it must be someone talking about me." Yaqing rubbed her nose.
"Is she your little girlfriend?" Cecilia asked with a smile.
"I don't think so."
In the Far East, Mobius suddenly sneezed and rubbed her delicate nose.
Chapter 163: Do the numbers on the Divine Key represent the order of the Herrscher?
Rita's doubts were not unfounded; Theresa made contact with Dr. Einstein of Anti-Entropy.
When Einstein asked her questions, Theresa confidently patted her chest and said that they had brought someone with information, but to get him to talk, they would have to rely on their Anti-Entropy ability.
"You... kidnapped a child?" Einstein's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hey! No, no, no! It's not what you think!" Theresa hurriedly explained, "It's hard to explain in a few words right now. Anyway, Doctor, please arrange an airship for us as soon as possible."
After Einstein agreed, he immediately arranged for the airship to travel to the coordinates. However, the humanoid machine refused to leave with them, Theresa quickly stated that she only wanted to obtain one piece of information and would not harm her.
"You can't harm a tool; tools don't feel pain." Without Gray Serpent's orders, the humanoid machine won't go anywhere. Even though Gray Serpent is dead, Sky Dome City remains the safest place.
"Your expression is hilarious, you messy hair!" Tesla laughed so hard he slapped his thigh, which made Einstein frown.
"Dr. Tesla, could you... slap your own thigh?!" Einstein grabbed Tesla's hand, his beautiful leg beneath his hot pants already bearing a red handprint.
Tesla took a breath and said, "Theresa is probably going to have a tough time. If the Gray Serpent's commands are based on low-level code, then things will get difficult."
"Compared to machines, humanoid machines are more human." Einstein rubbed his reddened thigh. "I'm more convinced that Theresa can change her mind through emotion."
"Hey, you with that messy hair, how come you're just like Otto (Anti-Entropy swear word)? You're always talking about love and feelings." Tesla said, "We're scientists, we look at data."
"In the face of the Honkai, no city in this world can be considered safe." Theresa is eager to find Kiana; only by finding Kiana can the Great Honkai end.
The humanoid machine had a different perspective on this, with countless data points from the internet flooding her mind.
According to the calculations of quantum computers, the so-called future of humanity is not visible; it is as meaningless as human actions and will eventually be erased by Honkai.
Theresa was silent for a moment, then her tone became very firm. "Even if what I do is meaningless, even if finding Kiana cannot end the Honkai... even so, I will take her home and face the end of this world together."
"Because bringing her home is the meaning itself."
The humanoid machine may not have understood the emotions in Theresa's tone, but her human side made her want to help. In the end, humanity did not triumph over the machine, nor did the machine triumph over humanity.
"I'm sorry, Headmaster... you may not understand, but I really can't leave Sky Dome City." The humanoid machine stopped speaking and moving, as if it had fallen into the deepest meditation.
In the darkness far from the city, a roaring sound gradually rises, as the tide approaches, engulfing everything.
Then she spoke, "They've come... they've come at my call. If you really need me that much, then... try to protect me from this pile of mechs."
Bronya discovers that the humanoid mechs have hijacked all the mechs in Sky Dome City and are summoning them to destroy her. No longer caring about attracting Rita's attention, Bronya attempts to seize control of Rita's highest authority to cut off the signal.
"Theresa really Kiana." Pardo, taking a big bite of popcorn.
"Find Kiana, end the Great Honkai..."
Mei pondered for a long time, thinking about the meaning of the sentence. "Theresa means that only by finding Kiana can this Great Honkai event be ended, while the humanoid machine understands it as meaning that all Honkai will end."
"So, the humanoid machine knew about clues from Previous Era?" Kevin asked curiously.
"I don't know." Mei shook her head. "Right now, the only people who know for sure are from the Previous Era are you, me, and Hua. Hua survived until now thanks to the Honkai Beasts Factor. As for whether you and I are alive or not, we don't even know."
"Ah..." Kevin leaned on the back of the seat in front of him.
"The Divine Key are created using Herrscher Core, so the order should be related to the order in which the Herrscher appear, right?" Vill-V raised this question.
"Currently, the highest-numbered key is the Eleventh Divine Key, the Judah's Oath, while the Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind, has only just appeared."
"Does this mean the Honkai series will take a long time to end?~" Elysia clapped her hands excitedly, "I really want to see all of us appear on the big screen together."
"Yes, Elysia," Eden said gently.
"Are you really not afraid? You'll cut us all up piece by piece, and then cut yourself in the end, so you can watch and cry." Mobius deliberately sabotaged him.
"How could this be~ How could Yaqing bear to kill all of us? Is little Griseo not cute enough? Or am I not cute enough?" Elysia pouted, pretending to be cute.
"I admit little Griseo is cute, you... ha." Mobius glanced at her and snorted dismissively.
Elysia puffed out her cheeks like a hamster.
"Elysia is so cute."
Griseo's words brought a smile back to Elysia.
Theresa donned the Blood Knight: Moonbeam once more, but faced with the endless stream of security mechs surging towards the entire city, even Theresa gradually felt overwhelmed.
"Bronya, are you done yet? I can't hold on much longer!"
Bronya was working hard to decipher the code when, at the last moment, she discovered that taking over the highest privileges required a biological component.
"Sorry to bother you kidnappers."
The camera pans upwards, revealing Rita, clad in the Luna Kindred Armor, sitting elegantly behind a pavilion, her back to the moonlight. Her beautiful legs, encased in white stockings, are crossed, and in her palm lies the bio-component that Bronya needs.
"The child should be cared for by a maid like me."
"Rita Roseweiser, begin clearing the battlefield."
"Damn it, are we going to let Rita get her in the end?" Kiana, who least wants Schicksal to succeed, is definitely the first to be affected.
"Rita, did you sneak in your own agenda?" Shigure Kira the modeling department looked at Rita with suspicion.
"No, of course not." Rita smiled, but there was a hint of embarrassment in her smile. She had indeed mentioned it to Cheng Lixue once.
Right now, Cheng Lixue is fast asleep.
"Isn't Theresa an S-Rank Valkyrie? How come she's being held back by a few guard mechs?" Pardo noticed a blind spot; every time Theresa appeared, she was on the verge of being defeated.
Bronya shared the same idea as Pardo, and she pretended to take out a microphone to interview Theresa.
"Headmaster, what do you think about the fact that you always seem to suffer a defeat every time you appear?"
"Uh... hahaha." Theresa just laughed awkwardly, while mentally making a mental note of Yaqing's name.
Chapter 164 The smile won't disappear, it will only shift.
Rita leaped down, components floating on her outstretched palm. She pointed the Gray Serpent's eyes at the humanoid machine and whispered, "Rita Losweiser, take over the highest privileges. I command you to date upload (log upload)."
"... then self-destruct."
After doing all this and getting what she needed, Rita didn't linger or make things difficult for Bronya and Theresa; instead, she left immediately.
After Rita left, Theresa and Bronya surrounded the humanoid machine. Unexpectedly, the humanoid machine, which had been given the self-destruct order, slowly woke up, but no longer recognized them.
It turns out Rita had just ordered not self-destruction, but formatting.
"I could at least say that Aunt Flo was entangled by the mechs, Bronya, what were you doing? You just stood by and watched Rita destroy the only clue without doing anything." Kiana's inner turmoil was palpable.
"Idiot Kiana, if I stop it, how will the plot progress?" Bronya replied irritably.
"That's right, that's right, Bronya definitely didn't mean to stay out of it! It's just..." Rosalia stood up to support Bronya, but got stuck when she was trying to come up with an excuse.
Seeing that Rosalia was speechless, Lilia stepped forward and said, "Bronya is probably frozen in place because of the aftereffects of burning out her brain control chip!"
Bronya, who was relieved to see the Arlene sisters stand up for her, froze with a smile when she heard these words.
Hahahaha.
The smile didn't disappear; it simply moved from Bronya's face to Kiana's.
Lilia scratched her head. "Rosalia, did I say something wrong?"
"No! Lilia, you're absolutely right!" Rosalia said earnestly.
Kiana laughed even louder.
Seele covered her face.
Bronya wished she could shrink into their arms to avoid knowing them.
[On a skybridge in Sky Dome City, Rita is leaning against the railing, giving a work report to Otto.]
She didn't tell Otto whether she had destroyed the humanoid machine, but through her actions, she made Otto believe that the humanoid machine had been destroyed.
"As long as the mission requires it, I will eliminate any obstacle that stands in my Schicksal."
"Well said," Otto applauded approvingly.
