Chapter 68

One of the dolls couldn't help but ask, "Is it just to scare us?"

"I'm afraid it's just throwing us into disarray. Look, isn't it a great success?"

The Know-it-all couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh, "We are both independent individuals and a connected whole. But if the essence of this whole is undermined by doubt, suspicion, or other factors, then only weak individuals remain."

He looked around and saw more and more puppets surrounding him, as if they had been persuaded by his words and were beginning to look forward to what he would say next.

Then the puppet revealed a smile, raised his arm, and said in a inflammatory voice, "I have an idea, why not turn the tables on them—since they want us to create chaos, then let's show them chaos!"

"But this chaos is just a facade. After throwing out the bait, we must have a real plan to carry it out."

At this point, he suddenly said humbly, "As for the details of this plan, let everyone decide together."

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's to kill that guy Ai Yue!"

One of the raging dolls gritted its teeth and said, "That guy, we absolutely have to kill him!"

Just as everyone was preparing for the general vote, a sudden piece of news spread throughout the entire Domination Domain.

The operations of the Moth to Fire were leaked. According to the document, the remaining three Herrscher Core will be sent to the "Star of Light" experimental base in northern Australia in three days. In this way, all the Herrscher Core will be completely controlled by Ai Yue.

Moments later, the plan to "assassinate Ai Yue" became the ultimate goal of all the Herrscher of Domination with an overwhelming number of votes.

The once boastful and Know-it-all seems to have disappeared into a corner that no one cares about.

Chapter 74 Do you understand the allure of a perfect save file?

In Laboratory No. 3 of the Star of Light Experiment Base.

Ai Yue took off his oddly shaped helmet and winked at Mobius sitting next to him. "How was it? Fun, right?"

Mobius still seemed dazed, wearing a similarly oddly shaped helmet, which made her look somewhat comical.

"Was that... the Domination Space?"

After a moment, Mobius finally came to her senses. She took off the helmet, hugged it to her chest, and stroked it repeatedly, as if she wanted to take it apart to find out what was going on. "But how did they do that?"

She couldn't help but turn her gaze to what was in front of her. Less than a meter away, there were two huge devices that looked like hibernation pods. Through the glass covers of the hibernation pods, she could see a man and a woman lying inside. The helmets that Ai Yue and Mobius were holding were connected to these hibernation pods.

Just now, she and Ai Yue used this device to enter the Domination Space as Herrscher of Domination and performed a charade, successfully misleading the Herrscher of Domination and leading them to choose the strategy of launching a surprise attack on Australia.

Even though he had experienced this feeling firsthand, Mobius still found it hard to believe.

Although she had always thought that she had imagined Ai Yue to be extremely far-fetched, she wouldn't be surprised if he said that he had figured out the powers of the Herrscher of Domination in a day. But wasn't it a bit too much to just steal his account?

"It's a signal conversion mechanism, but it's a bit complicated to explain. Figure it out yourself."

Ai Yue waved his hand, "The specific follow-up intelligence tracking will be handled by others, but before that, we need to prepare for war."

"Would they really choose to kill you?"

Mobius couldn't help but frown. "Why do I have a feeling that the Herrscher of Domination isn't so easily fooled?"

"It is indeed unlikely that there are no intelligent people among the Herrscher of Domination, but in an environment where the minority obeys the majority, unless that minority can come up with a strong reason to stop the plan, even if they realize that something is wrong, they will not be able to change it."

Ai Yue said with a smile, "What's more, this is an open strategy."

Mobius remained silent, simply looking at Ai Yue, waiting for him to continue.

"Simply put, the Herrscher of Domination don't really have a choice."

Ai Yue continued to explain, "Domination Domain is indeed very powerful, enabling them to communicate and cooperate beyond physical distance. However, now that their identities have been completely exposed, no amount of intelligence can solve the problem of a gun pointed at their heads."

"So, their only option is to fight to the death?"

Mobius understood Ai Yue's meaning. "Even if the Herrscher of Domination fight individually and use self-destruction, they can still cause a lot of destruction, so there's no need for them to kill you, right?"

"Theoretically, that's true, but it's clear that after losing the advantage of hiding in the shadows, even if the Herrscher of Domination were to self-destruct, the damage it could cause would be far from enough to shake human civilization."

Ai Yue shook his head. "Clearly, the Herrscher of Domination still want to destroy the entire human civilization, so they only have this opportunity if they unite."

Mobius hadn't read the script, so she was unaware of the extent of the damage the Tenth Herrscher, the thousand-person version of the Herrscher of Domination, had caused to human society in the original story.

In the original storyline, the Ninth Herrscher eliminated one-sixth of the global population, while the Tenth Herrscher destroyed 85 percent of the world's cities, a truly remarkable achievement.

However, such an outcome could not have been achieved by the Herrscher of Domination of Domination through her own power. Referring to the nuclear bomb that attacked Ai Yue, it was clear that it utilized various resources from when she was originally human.

Therefore, when Prometheus separated them from ordinary people, it was destined that these people would no longer be able to use these resources to do their thing.

Just like George Fly, if his plan is successfully launched, even if Ai Yue can forcefully minimize the impact of things with the help of Prometheus, it will still eventually bring some unnecessary trouble. So when Ai Yue realized that George Fly had taken action, he was immediately put on the death list.

Those Herrscher of Domination will suffer the same fate.

In this way, the Herrscher of Domination can rely on is their own power, but it is obviously very difficult to shake the foundation of human civilization with just this ability.

Moreover, under Ai Yue's arrangement, each Herrscher of Domination is monitored day and night by more than ten monitoring teams to ensure that any unusual behavior is detected immediately and appropriate measures are taken according to the situation.

"Then why give them this opportunity?"

Although Mobius was unaware of Ai Yue's concerns, he was well aware of the risks involved. "If they were to unite, it would cause an even greater disaster. So, wouldn't the best approach be to deal with them while they are still scattered?"

"But that would mean the sacrifice of a great many people."

Ai Yue said seriously, "If we can take this opportunity to lure the Herrscher of Domination to Australia to eliminate them, we can reduce the number of victims to the limit."

Australia is a wasteland, devoid of humans and civilization, only filled with countless Honkai Beast —although this might seem to give Herrscher a significant advantage here, Ai Yue is not worried about it.

Because he wasn't fighting alone.

"You..."

Mobius looked at him with a subtle expression, as if he were somewhat angry, or as if he had already anticipated this answer. "Have I ever told you that you are really arrogant?"

"I don't think so. You're actually talking badly about me behind my back?"

Ai Yue was a little confused. "How am I, such a refined and easy-going person, arrogant?"

"It's this lack of self-awareness that makes you arrogant."

Mobius sighed. "This is a war of life and death between humanity and the Honkai. Sacrifices are inevitable, but you always act like you want to protect everyone and try to save everyone... Please, you're not a god. Putting so much pressure on yourself, I'm really worried that you'll break down one day!"

"I am not a god, but I can be."

Ai Yue spoke strangely, ignoring Mobius's words, "But you did remind me of something—sacrifice is indeed inevitable, but ordinary people also have the right to know why they will die."

"Once things are over here, we must reveal the truth about the Honkai."

75

Chapter 75 plagiarized Guyver, right? I've reported it.

The truth about the Honkai has always been secretly hidden by high-ranking officials from various countries, and has never been known to ordinary people.

The Third Great Honkai was whitewashed as a tsunami, the Fifth Great Honkai was concealed as a plague, and the Seventh Great Honkai was fabricated as a wildfire... Thanks to the powerful ability to control public opinion, although many capable people can piece together the truth from the details, at least for ordinary people, the disasters caused by the Honkai are still just severe natural disasters.

Ai Yue could understand the reasons behind this decision. After all, if ordinary people knew about such a devastating disaster, it would inevitably cause great chaos. In fact, from a certain perspective, telling ordinary people the truth about the Honkai was actually achieving the purpose of the Honkai.

But fighting against the Honkai should never be just a matter for a small group of people. Ordinary people should also know what they have to face, what they have to experience, and why they will die.

Moreover, the Honkai disaster of today is no longer a hopeless natural calamity that humanity cannot overcome—it is precisely because of the outstanding performance in the previous two fights against the Great Honkai disaster that Ai Yue dared to make such a decision.

After all, he wanted to use this opportunity to truly unite humanity, rather than to crush the spirits of ordinary people with such a truth.

"Whatever you want, you're in charge of the Moth to Fire now anyway."

Mobius wasn't interested in these things, and just looked at him with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh, I'm afraid it's far more than just the Moth to Fire —should I call you Planet Master?"

Mobius didn't know exactly how many bad things Ai Yue had done with the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher, but the fact that Ai Yue's orders could reach every corner of the Earth without hindrance showed that he had definitely done a lot of bad things.

"That's slander, isn't it?"

Ai Yue just rolled his eyes at this, "It just avoided some unnecessary trouble, it's not what you think at all."

"I wasn't thinking about anything."

Seeing Ai Yue's reaction, Mobius smiled smugly. She wanted to say something more, but the laboratory door suddenly opened from the outside, letting someone in.

Aponia, still dressed in her simple nun's habit, appeared before the two, a faint smile on her face as always, which became more pronounced when she saw Ai Yue: "Long time no see, Ai Yue, and Ms. Mobius —I wonder what kind of help you asked me to do?"

I see, that makes sense. She is indeed a perfect candidate.

Upon seeing Aponia, Mobius suddenly realized that Ai Yue currently had very limited equipment to access the Domination Domain, making it impossible for too many people to connect. However, it was still necessary to monitor the next moves of the Herrscher of Domination, so there had to be someone capable of receiving a large amount of information at the same time to be in charge of this matter.

And on the entire Earth, apart from the deceased Eighth Herrscher, probably no one can rival Aponia in the spiritual realm.

With such immense mental power, monitoring Herrscher of Domination would be a very simple matter.

"I see, I understand now."

Meanwhile, after listening to Ai Yue's brief description of the mission, Aponia nodded. "Is this mental signal transmission device repaired?"

"It's fixed. Just press and hold here to use it."

Ai Yue turned on a button on the helmet, and an indicator light came on. "Don't worry, this function has been iterated three times and can withstand the load."

"I see,"

Aponia, who had ruined two generations of prototypes, nodded. "Then, don't bother me anymore."

The next second, she closed her eyes, entered the Domination Domain, and began to receive information from other Herrscher of Domination.

Seeing how skillfully the other person got into the zone, Mobius couldn't help but think of something, "Could that precise information from back then have come about in this way?"

Aponia even knew about the mental signal transmitter, something Ai Yue hadn't told her about.

"More or less, but back then it was the first generation of the work, and it couldn't enter the Domination Domain; it could only sense the mental fluctuations of the Herrscher of Domination."

Ai Yue nodded. "So I asked Aponia to help pinpoint their location, and then cross-referenced it with the list provided by Prometheus. That's how we got the final result."

Mobius nodded, but said nothing more.

She thought she was the first person invited to use the equipment.

"What will you do next?"

Ai Yue didn't notice Mobius's change in mood. "Shall we go back to the First Research Institute first?"

"No need, they're working on the third batch of Fused Warrior over there, so I can take a break."

Mobius stretched. "Since something big is about to happen here, of course I'm going to stay—after all, I'm a Fused Warrior, right?"

That was a huge help.

Ai Yue smiled, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, there's something I'm wondering if you'd like to try?"

"What is that?"

Mobius looked at Ai Yue. Based on her understanding of Ai Yue, if he said something like that, it was probably because he had some new technology that needed to be used as a guinea pig. "If it's interesting, I might as well be your guinea pig for a day."

"Regular armor isn't very useful to you, so I did some research to see if I could get you a set of Bio-Armor,"

Ai Yue smiled and said, "Now that we have achieved initial results, we need more experimental data to refine them."

While Mobius's resurrection is powerful, it is not without its flaws. The biggest problem is that during her resurrection process, everything on her body will be lost or even destroyed. Therefore, using conventional armor is neither necessary for her nor will it cause a lot of unnecessary consumption.

However, if we could use gene editing and other technologies to generate a special Bio-Armor directly within Mobius's body using the genes of Honkai Beast, then even if Mobius died, this armor would remain hidden within her body as genetic information. Whenever she needed to use it, it could be created by consuming Honkai Energy.

The emergence of this technology also means that Ai Yue has finally combined technologies such as the "Great Shuka Modification Surgery" to completely complete the Fused Warrior Formula, and has even begun to take it a step further, pushing it towards a higher level.

If this armor can be completed on Mobius, the next step is to prepare to begin research on "Artificial Honkai Collapse".

Ai Yue believes that Mobius will definitely not miss out on this gene-related technology.

Sure enough, as soon as Ai Yue uttered the words "Bio-Armor," Mobius's eyes lit up. She grabbed Ai Yue's hand and eagerly headed outside. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"

After the two people left, Aponia, who had been keeping her eyes closed, finally turned her head and glanced at the door, her eyes filled with subtle emotions.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Scattered like stars in the sky, gathered like...

The Herrscher of Domination truly live up to their reputation as a group of Herrscher capable of instantaneous synchronization. Just moments after Ai Yue staged a charade in the Domination Domain to disrupt their thinking, Prometheus detected over a thousand criminal incidents around the world.

In the Herrscher of Domination's plan, some people are needed to attract humanity's attention in order to cover the others' journey to Australia.

Of course, even if they didn't do that, escaping human surveillance and pursuit wouldn't be difficult.

Even the Herrscher of Domination, if they observe carefully, will find that within minutes of them choosing to go to Australia, the reconnaissance teams responsible for monitoring their movements will all withdraw, and even the residents along the route will be dispersed as much as possible to ensure that the Herrscher will not kill people to cover up their whereabouts.

Of course, there were also intelligent people among the Herrscher of Domination. When they realized that the escape was going too smoothly, some of them quickly realized something.
