Chapter 218

What did you learn?

Ai Yue wanted to say something more, but Elysia closed her eyes at that moment.

She clasped her fingers together in front of her chest, the core bracelet shimmering on her wrist, and with each movement of the girl, the core on the bracelet gradually became brighter.

That was no longer the flickering of refracted light, but the radiance of the core itself.

First came the purple Third Herrscher Core, then the golden Second Herrscher Core, and then the gray Eighth Herrscher Core —these were the first powers that Elysia could control together, and they are now the powers she is most familiar with.

After that, even more dazzling light shone, from the blue Herrscher Core to the red Herrscher Core, and finally to the black core of the Twelfth Herrscher —the twelve lights converged and eventually assimilated into one color.

That was pink, a color Ai Yue knew all too well, and also the girl in front of him's favorite color.

The light was so dazzling that the entire space seemed to be coated with a layer of pink, and the light was so warm that Ai Yue even felt as if he was being embraced in a soft hug.

As the light gradually dimmed and dissipated, what appeared before Ai Yue was a completely transformed Elysia.

Or perhaps, she should be called "the Herrscher of the Human"?

"How is it? Does it look good?"

The girl, who had been floating in the air, landed lightly and showed off her gorgeous new clothes. "It's just a little sad that Eden made me this dress... But she's such a nice person, she probably won't mind, right?"

Ai Yue gazed at her, a hint of nostalgia surfacing in his calm eyes—he didn't really remember the Herrscher of the Human's outfit from the game, but he felt that this was what the Herrscher of the Human should look like.

"Fine,"

Composing himself, Ai Yue tried to respond calmly, "So, how do you feel now?"

"I don't know,"

Elysia looked somewhat confused. "How should I put it? It's a feeling I can't quite put into words, like a flash of inspiration that just passes through my mind. I have a vague feeling about it, but I can't quite grasp it."

She instinctively reached out her hand, but couldn't help letting out a soft exclamation. "Huh, a bracelet..."

The bracelet that was originally composed of Herrscher Core on her wrist had disappeared, clearly affected by the change that had just occurred.

"It's okay, that kind of thing isn't important anymore,"

Ai Yue shook his head. "Since it has disappeared, it means that you no longer need external objects to drive your Herrscher authority."

Compared to the missing bracelet, Ai Yue was more curious about Elysia's true powers now. He couldn't wait to know if Elysia could do what was originally in the story.

However, before he could speak, Ai's voice rang out from above. "Doctor Ai Yue, the concentration of Honkai Energy in Australia has increased dramatically, and the density of Honkai Beast gathered around is too high. We recommend an immediate evacuation."

Ai Yue and Elysia exchanged a glance, then Ai Yue said, "Let's go up and take a look. Also, you should familiarize yourself with the powers you possess first."

Elysia nodded and then followed behind Ai Yue.

When the two returned to the central hall, they found that quite a few people had already gathered there— Aponia, Mobius, Kevin, Sakura, Kalpas, Cosmo ... It could be said that, apart from Dr. Mei and Su who was far away at the lunar base, almost everyone else in Ai Yue's world with whom he had a close relationship was here.

Oh, these two also arrived via projection, so strictly speaking, everyone is already here.

Why are you all here?

Seeing so many people gathered together, Ai Yue couldn't help but frown. "What about the defense of the Fortress City?"

"There's no need to worry about those things anymore."

Mobius shook his head, gesturing for him to look at the screen beside him. "Right now, it seems like all the Honkai Beast in the world are gathering here."

Ai Yue glanced at the screen next to him, which displayed a world map marked with Honkai Energy concentrations in each region, ranging from light to dark red.

For some time now, the world has been mostly in a deep red, but now it has all dropped to the lowest shade of pink, and instead, the entire Australia continent is shrouded in the deepest blood red.

"But judging from Elysia's condition, your plan should have succeeded?"

Eden noticed Elysia's change and couldn't help but smile. "What should we do next?"

What should we do next?

Ai Yue blinked, then began to think.

If all goes well, then they should try to use Elysia's power to invade the Cocoon of Finality in the opposite direction, and then try to seize control of it and become the god of Earth.

This could even potentially prevent the birth of the Herrscher of the End altogether, since such a Herrscher does not exist in the current civilization of the original storyline.

But Ai Yue always felt that things were not so simple. Since the Cocoon of Finality had invested so much attention in Elysia, how could it give up so easily?

The Honkai Energy gathered in Australia also means that the other side has not given up.

"I'd like to remind you that at this concentration, Australia will soon experience an unprecedented Great Honkai,"

Mobius chimed in, "As for what will emerge from this Great Honkai, Ai Yue, do you have any clues?"

"Let me add something,"

Dr. Mei, projected on the screen, spoke, "This is very soon, meaning within twenty minutes—time is extremely tight."

All eyes immediately turned to Ai Yue.

"It's too early to say, but I think we should try to reduce the Honkai Beast and postpone the Great Honkai outbreak."

Ai Yue glanced at Elysia, then looked back at the others, "Everyone, I'm counting on you."

Soon, only three people remained on the Star of Light.

Besides Ai Yue and Elysia, there was also Aponia, who was specially left behind by Elysia.

In addition, even Mobius and Pardofelis stepped onto the battlefield to buy as much time as possible for Ai Yue.

"I'm going to the lab now,"

Ai Yue quickly collected a blood sample from Elysia and then headed towards the laboratory. "Elysia, don't forget your responsibilities."

"Okay."

Elysia smiled and waved at Ai Yue, then looked at Aponia, "Aponia, I remember you said you could see the 'threads of fate,' right?"

"Um."

Aponia nodded. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"I'm suddenly a little curious."

Elysia moved closer to Aponia, a smile on her face. "Can you describe it to me?"

Meanwhile, Ai Yue had also arrived at the laboratory, put his blood sample into the equipment, and anxiously awaited the results.

He had never felt time pass so slowly as he did today, yet he couldn't help but wish it could slow down even more.

At the same time, Ai Yi's voice rang out again. "Doctor Ai Yue, Dr. Su is looking for you."

"What's wrong?"

Ai Yue answered the call casually, and then saw Su's projection appear in front of him. "You seemed to have something you wanted to tell me."

"Do you remember that special energy sample?"

Su said directly, "Just now, it suddenly had some strange reactions."

Su then switched the camera to the energy sample, where the unremarkable crystal was now shimmering with light, just like breathing.

Do you have the most recent experimental records?

Ai Yue observed for a while, then said, "Send me a copy of the data for this energy sample as well."

"The recent experiments haven't changed much from before, so I don't think it's due to the experiments themselves,"

As Su spoke, she sent a document to Ai Yue, saying, "Its reaction is more like..."

"You're 'resonating' with something, right?"

Ai Yue glanced at the energy sample data, then frowned. "Su, pack your things immediately, take everything portable, and return to Earth."

"What's wrong?"

Su was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ai Yue to react so strongly. "Is the situation serious?"

"This energy sample is related to the Cocoon of Finality."

Ai Yue simply stated, "Based on the current data analysis, its unusual reaction is due to receiving some kind of 'information' at the same frequency as itself, and that information source may be somewhere on the moon."

"I understand, I'll prepare to leave now."

Su also sensed the seriousness of the problem from Ai Yue's brief and direct words, so he did not hesitate and cut off the contact directly.

Ai Yue looked at the data report in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He naturally had a sample of this special energy, but due to being too busy with other matters, he had to put it aside for the time being.

Fortunately, Su's research results filled in the gaps in his understanding, which made the rest of the work much easier.

However, the most urgent task is to determine Elysia's whereabouts...

Ai Yue was still pondering when suddenly his mind went blank. At the same time, the entire laboratory suddenly went dark, and all the operating equipment stopped working, as if its power had been cut off.

What's going on? The Honkai Beast are attacking?

Ai Yue waited a moment, but the emergency energy didn't come online, so he abandoned his research and went out.

However, before he could even touch the doorknob, he felt a blur before his eyes and suddenly a figure appeared.

Ai Yue took a step back warily before realizing it was Elysia.

That makes sense, since she's currently the only one who can use this power.

"Elysia ..."

Ai Yue was about to ask her what had happened, Elysia took a step forward and then cupped his face in her hands.

Despite the dim light in the laboratory, Ai Yue could still see that Elysia's eyes, so close to his, seemed to reveal some indescribable emotion.

The next second, Elysia's face magnified once more—

Then, Ai Yue felt his lips touch something soft and sweet.

Before he could even think about what had happened, he felt as if he had been punched hard in the head, and his mind was filled with swelling and pain, which made him forget the sensation on his lips for a moment.

By the time he came to his senses, the figure in front of him had already disappeared.

Ai Yue subconsciously took a step forward, but the throbbing pain in his brain made it impossible for him to control his body, and he almost fell to his knees.

The stinging pain quickly spread from his brain to his limbs and bones, as if his blood vessels were filled with magma, making him feel as if he were about to boil.

Along with this feeling came a lot of abrupt... knowledge that appeared in my mind.

Ai Yue leaned against a nearby table, trying hard to capture the things that suddenly appeared in his mind, and for a moment he even forgot the pain in his body.

Is this what Elysia just passed to him?

Ai Yue tried hard to process the information, but his face grew increasingly pale. He staggered toward the door, but lost control of his body and fell forward.

Fortunately, at that moment, someone caught him.

What's wrong with you?

Aponia's concerned voice rang in Ai Yue's ears, "The base suddenly went dark just now, and then Elysia disappeared too. What happened?"

"Go... to the battlefield."

Ai Yue leaned against Aponia's chest and managed to squeeze out a few words, "Go to the place with the highest concentration of Honkai Energy!"

That Elysia is planning to do something stupid!

As the information in his mind gradually became clearer, Ai Yue's pain seemed to lessen.

He finally understood everything.

There is no Origin Herrscher, or rather, the Primal Herrscher is merely a part of the Finality —but it is the most important part.

No wonder the previous civilization believed that Elysia was the hope for defeating the Honkai.

Because the power she possesses is the most core, underlying logic editing authority in the Finality!

Chapter 96 I can see that you all possess unique skills.

"I've seen my fair share of battles, but this seems to be the first time I've ever seen so many Honkai Beasts."

Floating high in the sky, Kevin looked down at the continent—as far as the eye could see, there were only Honkai Beast.

They stood incredibly close together, so close that they would trample each other. This sea of Honkai Beast was like a carpet, staining the entire continent with an ominous pale purple hue.

This is just the view from an overhead perspective. If a human were standing on the ground, they would find that, whether on the ground or in the air, all they could see were the figures of Honkai Beast —their vision was completely shrouded in this ominous purple.

That feeling, as if the heavens and earth were pressing down on you, is enough to drive a normal human being completely insane.
