The Tragedy of Corruption in the Previous Era (4K)

"Is there?"

Planck shook his head, stood up, and said, "You stay here and don't move. I'll go buy you some oranges."

"Planck, I'll go with you." Edison quickly stood up, afraid of being included.

"Planck, remember to pick the sweetest one." Joyce didn't understand the meaning behind those words.

Chapter 148 The Tragic Erosion of Previous Era (4K)

After leaving the bathhouse, Joyce encountered the hotel owner Margarita Ayet, in the corridor and was pulled into a room.

The red-haired landlady looked apologetic, explaining that due to the power outage, his clothes hadn't had time to dry, and Joyce was going back to Laboratory 42 the next day...

"I didn't bring an extra jacket!"

She pulled out a men's jacket from behind her back, apologetically admitting it was her fault. Joyce put it on and found that the men's jacket fit her exceptionally well.

"Oh, by the way, here's a gift that another guest left for you."

"Another guest?"

"That... is her name Fu Hua? She said she's your friend."

Joyce looked at the pepper spray Fu Hua had left him, puzzled.

"Pfft." Little Knowledge couldn't help but laugh, "The pepper spray that the old man left for Joyce, could it be for Otto?"

"Very likely! After all, who would have thought that Otto would actually 'ambush' the bathhouse, and even call it 'being honest and open'?" Kiana agreed.

Sirin's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Brainless Idiot, you actually used the idiom correctly?! The sun didn't rise in the west today!"

"What are you saying!" Kiana shoved Sirin in an annoyed tone.

"Your Queen, I suspect there's something fishy going on here!"

"Fu Hua wouldn't be so bored as to use pepper spray on Otto against Joyce, would she?"

"There's definitely something wrong with this proprietress; how could it possibly fit perfectly?"

"Could it be that Otto sent them?"

"Bella, I'm thirsty!" Sirin called out.

Bella, who was washing clothes, wiped her hands on her apron, took out ice cubes that had been frozen in the refrigerator, took out three tall glasses, put the ice cubes in, and then poured in ice-cold cola.

Pick up the tray.

If you ignore the fact that she's wearing a slightly dirty apron, she has the air of an elegant maid.

The holiday ended, and back in Laboratory 42, they immediately went to find Aida. After Aida deciphered the encrypted information on the Honkai Steel, the first thing they saw was a string of English words.

"Follow the Freedom Trail. then visit Lexingtom in the midnight."

Translated as: Travel along the Freedom Trail, and then visit Lexington at midnight.

The subsequent video footage shows a slightly older "H·A" revealing her identity to everyone across the barrier of time.

Her original surname was Mortier, a descendant of Gilbert du Mortier, Marquis de Lafayette, who was also a "godfather" in the business world.

Based on the latest clues left by "H·A", they didn't even have time to rest and immediately headed to the "Freedom Trail". Through Aida's translation, they analyzed the audio records left by the Previous Era.

"If people from other civilizations discover these materials in the future, I hope to leave them a complete story."

It is worth mentioning that this audio file left behind by the Previous Era was recorded by Yaqing himself, and it is in his own voice.

"The more human civilization develops, the stronger the forces of Honkai become."

"Every time the Honkai gives birth to a Herrscher, humanity has to pay a huge price to defeat it."

"The Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of Wind, creation and destruction, domination and constraint."

"Before the recent events, after being ravaged by more than ten world wars, nearly 70% of our cities had already been destroyed..."

"However... compared to the event I'm about to record, everything before is nothing but a drop in the ocean."

The audio recording that followed was unsettling. In a certain base, there was a girl whose body was undergoing a violent reaction of Honkai energy. Unlike other Herrscher, she had no desire to destroy and only wanted to go home.

However, one day, people who took it upon themselves to storm into the prison and brutally murder the girl. But to everyone's surprise, the Twelfth Herrscher's power only began to manifest when the girl died.

"The Herrscher of Corruption, a self-aware infectious virus that is not only biological but also electronic."

The Herrscher of Corruption's abilities infiltrated various electronic systems networks, controlling all the missiles in the base and launching them at their last remaining city.

During the longest period of human history, this terrifying Herrscher was sealed inside a black box through a certain doctor's plan, at the cost of... the extinction of civilization.

"Hmm?" Mei looked at Mobius with a half-smile.

Mobius felt uncomfortable being stared at and said irritably, "Watch a show, why are you looking at me?"

"Mobius, have you forgotten something?" Mébius reminded him with a smile. "For example, the stakes?"

"What bet..." Mobius didn't react at first, but after being nudged by Yaqing, he remembered the bet he made with Mebius when they watched Honkai 2: The Second Great Honkai.

If Herrscher appears who can control nuclear missile silos, Mobius will wear the pink dress Elysia gave her and will never go back on her word.

Thinking of this, Mobius silently reached out and twisted the soft flesh on Yaqing's waist.

Yaqing's face was calm, but if you looked closely, you could see that the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly.

"Oh right~ Professor Mobius ~, you promised, you will never go back on your word~" Elysia also remembered this.

"Senior Mobius, you're not planning to go back on your word, are you?" Mobius asked with a smile.

"Hmph, don't try to provoke me with that kind of simple provocation." Mobius crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Fine, I'll wear it, but I don't even know where I threw that dress away a long time ago."

"I think I've seen it before." The cunning Yaqing rubbed the soft flesh around her waist and said deliberately, "When I first came back, I saw Pardo's collection in the closet and happened to see that dress."

Mobius glared at him fiercely.

"Won't Pardo find that little dress when she gets back?" Elysia clapped her hands, clearly genuinely happy.

"By the way, where did Pardo go?" Su, who had been struggling to find a starting point for the conversation, finally asked.

"It seems she went to help out at Sister Nia's nursing home."

"I heard that Pardo has recently started doing online shopping?"

"It seems so."

[In the slow narration, the 15,626 people who died in this incident at the base were mentioned. Most of them were heroic sacrifices, and each number represents a vivid life.]

The remaining six sets of data were information discovered by "H·A" at the Yellowstone Ruins, which was why they were deliberately left on the Freedom Trail, and she listened to hundreds of death cases all by herself.

"H·A" is Valkyrie of Schicksal, but she was framed by Schicksal, which made her distrust Schicksal and believe that neither Schicksal nor the Bishop could truly defeat the Honkai.

"In Lexington, I left you with weapons powerful enough to fight that bishop."

Without a moment's rest, the Rolls-Royce sped along Massachusetts Avenue for more than ten miles before finally coming to a stop with a sudden brake. In front of them was a triangular park.

Aida quickly located the source of the target.

Even without Aida's search, as the hyperdimensional camouflage was removed, a yellowish-white orb of light appeared out of thin air under the moonlight and slowly descended in front of everyone.

"Open it, Aida," Einstein ordered.

"Understood, Dr. Einstein."

The yellowish-white sphere of light slowly revealed its shell, about the height of a person, at a speed similar to that of a falling leaf. Like a blooming lotus flower, it revealed the transparent storage cabinet inside.

Inside the transparent locker, a blue sphere about ten centimeters in diameter floats quietly.

"This is..."

Aida suddenly spoke as if she were uttering gibberish.

"Huh?! Aida, what are you talking about?" Tesla asked, puzzled.

"The Divine Key! Dr. Tesla, it's the Divine Key!" Even Aida, a high-tech computer expert, couldn't hide her excitement. "The identification code of the target object is the Divine Key No. 9, Star of Eden!"

"This is... the Star of Eden!"

"So that's how the Star of Eden was obtained! I thought it was acquired from some unknown ruin, after a near-death experience, by finding the divine artifact, the Star of Eden, among the bones!"

"You... have been reading too many novels, haven't you?"

"Otto is such a bad guy!" Kiana said angrily.

"Kiana, you really don't know how to swear..." Little Knowledge patted Kiana, puffed out her small chest muscles, and said confidently, "Let Little Knowledge teach you how to swear!"

Just as Little Knowledge was about to speak, Sirin covered her mouth, pointed at the live stream page, and said irritably, "I don't care if you swear, just don't shut down my live stream."

The training gym is located north of the St. Freya Academy.

Fu Hua, with her gray hair, pounded her fists on the sandbag like raindrops. Her flat chest beneath her tank top revealed her sexy abs, and her tight athletic shorts accentuated her shapely figure. Her long, slender legs were white and shiny, with smooth skin.

"Phew~"

Fu Hua let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the towel hanging around her neck, and looked around at the female students who were secretly watching her, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Sitting in the chair, I took out my phone and came across a live stream called "The Cold Queen of the Sky," where I happened to see Herrscher of Sentience asking Kiana to curse.

Fu Hua's face immediately darkened.

"I've finished watching it, I've finished watching it!" Kevin stretched.

"Sit down, what's the rush?" Yaqing said, "We're airing two episodes this week to finish updating the web series before the third movie is released."

Sure enough, after one episode ended, there was another one, which sparked another discussion online.

At the beginning of the story, Joyce subconsciously reached out his hand, and just as his fingertips were about to touch the Star of Eden, a high-frequency energy pulse blasted into his body, and at the same time, an earthquake occurred in the city.

When Joyce opened his eyes again, he was in a car, lying on Einstein's lap, driving Tesla.

Even Aida was blasted offline by this energy pulse.

Tesla was extremely anxious. The fact that Joyce had fainted due to the Honkai Pulse meant that her physical condition had become unstable. While driving, she tried to contact the relevant person in charge despite the communication disruption caused by the electromagnetic collapse.

"This is the Emergency Response Administration. May I ask which department you belong to?"

It really connected?!

Tesla thought he was about to blindly drive to New York.

After identifying himself, Tesla assumed full command of the Emergency Response Administration and agreed on a meeting point.

"The situation is taking a sharp turn for the worse, and it's probably about to reach its climax. We've all forgotten that Joyce is actually the First Herrscher. Is he about to lose control?" Edison frowned.

"Could it be another tragedy?" Schrödinger wondered with some concern.

"I hate to say it, but it's definitely a tragedy," Planck said after returning with a bag of oranges.

Joyce picked up the orange, wiped it, peeled it, took a bite, her lips twitching slightly, but she didn't dare give it to anyone.

"This is a plot point that can't be changed. Joyce was already gone when the main storyline started, and even we didn't get to appear. It's probably all over for us," Planck added.

"Hey, Planck, don't say it out loud." Tesla nudged Planck.

The sports car had a tire blowout, but it had nothing to do with Tesla's driving skills. Instead, several large, sharp, grayish-white and purplish-red "shells" were found embedded in the sports car's rear left tire under the flooded road.

On an empty road, they unexpectedly encountered Reanna.

She was now dressed in a specially made combat suit, with a white undershirt and gold stripes, resembling the attire of the Countess from medieval Europe, and she was holding a huge lance in her hand.

"Miss Reanna?"

"Don't you recognize me in this outfit today?" Reanna asked with a smile.

She was on vacation when, due to the special circumstances that occurred early yesterday morning, Valkyrie battle suit again.

They hit it off immediately, and Tesla invited Reanna to travel to their destination together.

Reanna readily agreed.

Sirin's live stream.

"Wow, there are two episodes this week!"

"Are all Valkyrie battle suits this... sexy? Who designed them?"

"Reanna is so beautiful, I'm Reanna's dog!"
