You're Too Weak.
Time loses its meaning under pure, extreme speed.
Jana's body passed through layers of obstacles and arrived at the scorching abyss, hot enough to melt steel. She was surrounded by flowing magma, and fiery red veins, like blooming roses, blossomed in every corner around her, trying to completely break through the Honkai Energy membrane on the surface of her skin.
Legend has it that the seabed's base itself was formed from cooled magma.
The depth at which magma forms on the seabed is related to the geothermal gradient and solidus line in different locations.
But now she is forced to wander in boiling flames and magma by a violent and arrogant force that has stomped into the very veins of this planet.
The projected body was like a tomato crushed under the crushing force of a road roller, repeatedly breaking and repairing itself in the residual force of that attack.
But this seemingly pathetic and powerless scene does not mean that she has been defeated.
What Jana has left is merely a projection that cannot unleash even one percent of its true power; it is not a real flesh and blood body. The opponent's attack is only destroying the source that has been transmitted from the outside of the world. The worst outcome is simply that the power that has been continuously transmitted will eventually be exhausted.
But the outcome remained undecided.
Her deep thought was not due to surprise at the other person's social standing, nor was it out of shame, confusion, or anger about her current situation.
In fact, from the moment Janna first saw Fu Hua, Jana sensed a strange life force that was similar to her own yet also ambiguous. It was as if the body of a Planet-class Honkai Beast had been compressed into a human body structure, which was so incredible that it was hard to describe.
However, there are reasons that point directly to the core issue for evaluating it as seemingly plausible but actually flawed.
Jana was unable to sense any Honkai Energy fluctuations from the other party.
This is very strange.
It clearly resembled a kindred spirit almost on par with itself, yet it couldn't detect even a trace of Honkai Energy. It was as bizarre and illogical as a blue whale floating and swimming on land without relying on the Seawater.
Apart from that, from the very beginning to this attack, His Your Excellency did not incorporate a single bit of Honkai Energy; he was merely unleashing extreme and violent power and speed.
This is the root of what she can't understand.
It's so absurd and ridiculous that it's hard to understand.
The total amount of Honkai cultivated in this Leaf World itself, and even in the nearby Sea of Quantum, is enough to kill a Planetary-class demon.
However, the monarch who rules this world wields power and influence unrelated to this. The thirteen Herrscher Core on her belt are like mere ornaments, unable to form any connection with them, nor do they exude any power, rules, or Heaven and Earth Qi.
How ridiculous and terrifying is this?
Even so, the woman's seemingly casual kick was powerful enough to break the star core's spine, ignoring all logic and reason, proclaiming that the weight shown in those words should not be underestimated.
Jana's body was still sinking. Midway, she tried to use the permission and power granted by her status to erase this unparalleled potential energy and the lingering force of her domineering nature. However, in the process, she realized that this trampling, Honkai Energy, contained a debuff similar to purification, so she could only continue to free fall.
For a projection linked to the power of the original body, being destroyed ten million times would be insignificant. However, she had to admit that for a projection like herself to defeat the opponent and destroy this civilization was already wishful thinking.
...Your Excellency.
They are qualified to face the final trial head-on on their own.
Just as Jana thought that the other party might be trying to use this kick to force her through the star core and directly to the outer edge of the world, thus forcibly expelling her, the body suddenly stopped falling.
Jana looked up and saw that the white-haired, red-eyed Your Excellency had traversed an immeasurable distance in an instant, and with a haughty air, he had grabbed her arm. The lord's black skirt swayed slowly among the lava, and the mountains, rivers and seas on it seemed like a silent vow, shining brightly in the firelight.
Her lips moved:
"You really enjoy trials?"
Compared to Fu Hua's incredibly fast attack, which seemed to come from the cracks of time and space, this sentence, spoken at a normal pace, was long enough for anyone to deeply feel the burning arrogance and anger within this Your Excellency.
She was so furious, like a compassionate saint witnessing the suffering of the world, or a benevolent and valiant emperor witnessing the massacre of his people.
But Jana initially thought this was an emotion that shouldn't have happened to the other person. After she sang the Song of Ruin, twisting the souls and consciousness of millions of people and learning about the past and history of this civilization, she realized just how twisted and strange the humans before her were.
She clearly understood ethics and morality, yet she overlooked the rules and taboos involved.
She clearly respected the weight of life, yet she was constantly robbing it away.
She was respected, hated, despised, and feared, yet she remained indifferent, treating all of this as if it didn't exist.
Jana believed that Fu Hua would not be swayed by this in the slightest, but in that instant, the Your Excellency uttered the question, and his eyes clearly burned with a furious rage that could burn mountains and boil seas.
Jana curled her lips, revealing an expression that was almost human for the first time.
This Planetary-class demon, who had been bored for so long, felt for the first time a strange emotion being born in its chest.
She couldn't help but wonder, if this Your Excellency's kingdom and paradise were completely shattered, would this anger and arrogance then give rise to an even more interesting and beautiful spectacle?
It really makes one feel excited.
Fu Hua had no interest in her thoughts. After saying those words, she grabbed the projection's arm and swung it upwards.
It was an extremely slow and gentle movement, yet it directly shattered Jana's projection once again within the large vacuum belt.
But if it weren't for the fact that her body was worn down to dust time and time again, leaving a clear mark on her path, the heat wave and giant energy wave that once again made the entire Arctic Ocean tremble would seem so inexplicable.
Because in the reflection of a normal person's retina, this scene is almost as if Jana has traveled through space and arrived at the airspace above the sea while time has frozen.
In an immeasurable instant, she once again traversed layers of magma and crust, and was swung from the abyss of the deep sea to the upper levels by this pure force, stirring up a tsunami and storm with extremely high energy levels. Then, using this projection as a thread, she extinguished it again, and finally arrived at the vast sky filled with clouds.
The Your Excellency remained calm and composed. Her dark, ancient-style robes swayed in the wind, making each fold of her skirt stand out vividly. She accompanied Jana with a slow, almost walking posture, gazing indifferently at the ever-parting atmosphere.
This move is very much like the prelude to a massive landmine.
Jana's projection still couldn't detect any trace of such extreme speed; she simply said with a puzzled yet calm tone:
Does it make sense?
Fu Hua understood the meaning behind the other party's words. Shattering a weak projection that had no sense of suffering or pain could not truly interfere with the real body of Planetary-class demon.
But her expression remained unwavering; she merely let out a sigh.
"What percentage of your original strength do you currently possess? One ten-thousandth? Or one percent?"
Jana's current performance is roughly at the upper level among single- Herrscher. Regardless of the upper and lower limits that can be reached through power micro-management, the level of some of her abilities and Honkai Energy is at this level.
From my perspective nine hundred years ago, this was already a formidable and troublesome opponent.
But now...
It's too weak, far below my expectations for Planetary-class.
She originally believed that by carrying out the pre-arranged plan and transforming herself into Planetary-class demon devoid of self and reason, she would be qualified to become wanderers of the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum alongside Su Qing'an, who had completed another path of dimensional ascension, and thus never be separated from him.
But now it seems that, in Jana's eyes, he is already approaching the life form of Planetary-class demon.
The initial plan clearly led to a path that was at a level above the Planetary-class.
The reason for making such a judgment before even seeing the other party's true form is that higher-dimensional life forms are not measured by destructive power or so-called Honkai Energy levels.
If Jana has reached the threshold of dimensional ascension, then even an avatar would possess an independent spacetime axis, enough to be erased by force. Or even more exaggeratedly, she could manipulate the Timeline of the world or even an individual, causing infinite regression, and it would be normal for her to destroy the origin at a glance.
That's why Fu Hua said "too weak" when she saw Jana in the video.
This statement is not comparing itself to itself, but rather to the status and level that can be attained through dimensional elevation.
Because if Jana fits his previous definition of Planetary-class, then the Proper World has been successfully wiped clean, just like if Su Qing'an hadn't used the Manas Consciousness to send a message to Fuxi, the world would have returned to silence in the next second.
In other words, for a being like Her Your Excellency, who has a certain possibility of taking a half-step onto the path of dimensional ascension at the cost of distorting her own soul and will, Jana's level is almost the same as the threat level of the Finality, and she is an enemy that she has been preparing to confront head-on for hundreds of years.
The entire civilization has conducted corresponding research and efforts to combat this final trial that may come at any time.
However, Fu Hua did not choose to follow the path of the previous era and create another Moonlight Throne. Instead, she chose to gather everything within herself. As for the final result...
--It's not just this belt inlaid with thirteen Herrscher Core.
The woman lowered her eyes to gaze at the vast continent, as if she could see all the nations in the palm of her hand. The surrounding atmosphere was like a veil being lifted, like fresh snow melting in a fire, revealing the most primitive form and appearance of the buried land.
Jana beside her was like a phantom that didn't exist, effortlessly returning to her original state amidst the shattering, continuing this cycle, endlessly repeating itself...
Chao Xian City, Research Institute.
Raiden Mei and her colleagues are using the perspective of [Dragon Court] to precisely slow down the clash between the two sides, viewing this extremely exaggerated battlefield from a macro perspective.
Even though Jana had no chance to resist at all, the speed at which the Your Excellency moved was something the equipment could hardly reproduce.
Everyone present was pessimistic about the current situation.
These people, as staff members of the First Research Institute who were receiving the data analysis of Jana, were well aware that the other party's true form was still outside the world, and any action taken against its projection would be meaningless.
In other words, as Jana said, Fu Hua's actions were ineffective. To truly determine the victor and fight to the death against this Planetary-class demon, one must confront its true form head-on.
But...
Given that Your Excellency's personality, there are naturally corresponding reasons why you haven't directly gone to fight your true form yet.
She not only had to consider whether her planet would be destroyed as a result of the war, but also whether the war would interfere with the World Bubble attached to the veins of this leaf.
Most of the World Bubble currently used in the Proper World are artificial World Bubble replicated using the Herrscher Authority of Reason.
The World Bubble of the safe sequence are floating in the Sea of Quantum that records the corresponding coordinate system and locates multiple anchor points, while the other World Bubble are all linked to the spatial layer of the Proper World for convenience and speed.
Intuitively speaking, the World Bubble that fit the Proper World are all breeding grounds for Honkai.
This means that once this Your Excellency and Jana's true form truly begin their war...
The demon corpses accumulated over nearly a thousand years, as well as the Honkai breeding farms, may be scattered to every corner of the world, where they will evolve and become terrifyingly aggressive in the rapidly changing Honkai Energy environment, forcing the entire human race to face the consequences of breeding demons and Honkai for thousands of years.
As for what happened then...
Even if an army that has been amassed over the years is large enough to crush all unrest and dissent, it is absolutely impossible to protect billions of people.
The most powerful ships and core combat forces of the entire Taixu Sect are all located at the Sin Domain Anchor Point. Among them are Fusion Warrior have been selected over the past thousand years and are no less than the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, and there are even those who surpass them.
This is not surprising. [Fellow Daoist] have woven a screening network for [Dragon Court] that will never miss or bury any talented individuals. The latest research on Stigmata technology and gene modification technology can grant immortality to any combat genius who meets the requirements.
In this process, after nearly a thousand years of trials and tribulations, the resulting outcome is predictable.
The army at the Sin Domain Anchor Point consists of veterans who have followed His Your Excellency in conquering other civilizations. They are very familiar with this kind of world destruction and can greatly improve the current situation. However, it is meaningless to have a powerful force that cannot return in time to provide reinforcements.
Raiden Mei tapped her fingertips lightly on the table as she said:
"The safest approach at present is to actively expel all World Bubble that are in close contact with the Proper World space layer."
"At least this way, we can avoid the worst-case scenario. What do you think?"
Mobius adjusted his glasses.
Her body was created by combining Honkai Beast genes with a human embryo after she made a contract with the former Your Excellency. Her appearance is no different from her former self, except that she has matured quite a bit due to not having undergone any Snake Molt over the years, and looks like a beautiful older sister.
At this moment, gazing at the other person's solemn expression, his serpentine eyes indifferent and lifeless, she only whispered:
"Mei, I understand your concerns about the safety of the All living beings, but those farms are His Majesty's private property accumulated Your Excellency hundreds of years."
"Even if you were willing to risk the sin of Your Excellency by making this decision, we still do not have the qualifications to take over the corresponding space licensing authority."
"Moreover, severing the connection between the thousands of World Bubble and the Proper World space layer is a long and meticulously planned project."
"We cannot control when Your Excellency will go to war with the other side. If fluctuations occur during this process, it will only further accelerate the process of the World Bubble overlapping with the Proper World."
Raiden Mei said calmly:
"You didn't understand me, Doctor Mobius."
"The exile I'm referring to isn't about using sophisticated calculations, instruments, or powers to banish it to the Sea of Quantum, where it might be retrieved in the future."
"Instead, it is superimposed into another spatial shell, allowing it to get lost in the cracks of spacetime at the fastest speed, thus eliminating the possibility of a large number of demons falling into the Proper World."
Upon hearing this, all the researchers looked at their minister with a sense of absurdity and disbelief.
Saying such things in today's world is practically tantamount to courting death.
Looking at the silent crowd, Raiden Mei felt a surge of helplessness and regret.
Even with the highest status in the research department, the corresponding authorization was practically nonexistent when it came to that Your Excellency, or rather, it never existed in the first place.
She couldn't change the views and decisions of the researchers who had been implanted with these ideas, nor could she bypass His Your Excellency directly issue this plan, which was too crazy and outrageous for the world.
Even if the demon corpses on the Sin Domain Anchor Point are expected to be enough for Su Qing'an to complete his dimensional ascension, those breeding farms accumulated over many years are still an important asset and reserve energy source that cannot be ignored.
The extraterrestrials were utterly annihilated after attacking fewer than ten breeding farms, and were now locked in a life-or-death struggle with our side.
Raiden Mei's proposal to destroy thousands of World Bubble farms at once is an insane and unbelievable act. Regardless of her current situation, it is an attempt to provoke that Your Excellency, and would be an extreme crime that would result in her soul being extracted and her body being melted down.
If the girl hadn't been the head of the research department, she would already be imprisoned by the soldiers, deprived of her freedom, and awaiting her fate.
She couldn't save the world from the devastation it would cause, just as even someone as powerful as Fu Hua couldn't simply launch a formal war against Jana at will.
But are these thousands of World Bubble truly a shackle for that Your Excellency?
