A Clash Between Space and Fluid! / Elysia Can Cook, Too!

"The Fourteenth Herrscher?"

Hearing this, Mobius became slightly interested and asked, "How do you know that defeating the Fourteenth Herrscher would solve everything? Didn't you say that the civilization in the parallel world fell to the Fourteenth Herrscher?"

"How do I know..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly, "Because this was calculated by the Doctor and Mei in that parallel world, and this Fourteenth Herrscher, also known as the Herrscher of Finality, has powers... that can be said to be the sum of the previous thirteen Herrscher, including but not limited to... This is also..."

Ling Xi shrugged and smiled, "The final Herrscher, once we defeat her, the Honkai will be over."

Mobius "..."

After hearing Ling Xi's answer, Mobius first considered the possibility of defeating the Herrscher of Finality, then thought about the Fourth Herrscher had emerged unscathed from a nuclear explosion, and finally decided...

Okay, let's surrender, hurry up, next game...

"Forget it, Ling Xi, let's not talk about this anymore."

After a moment, Mobius shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to the present, and said to Ling Xi, "Let's think about how to fight the Fourth Herrscher first. After all... I don't know what the future holds, but if we don't defeat the Fourth Herrscher now, then humanity has no future to worry about."

"That's true..."

Ling Xi nodded in agreement. After all, humanity at present might not even be able to deal with the Fourth Herrscher, so considering the Herrscher of Finality is indeed too early!

"What are your thoughts on the Fourth Herrscher's power to Create Ideal Fluid?"

Mobius didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point. After all, the most troublesome thing right now is the power of the Fourth Herrscher, which can even evade nuclear attacks. Calling her a bug is really not an exaggeration.

"We don't know enough information right now..."

Ling Xi simply shook her head slightly. After all, there was no information about the rhythm of the Previous Era in the comics, and as for the rhythm of the post-civilization... well, let's not talk about it.

"Mmm..."

Seeing this, Mobius fell into thought again and laughed, "Alright, it seems that whether you like it or not, the Fourth Herrscher... really has to be solved by us humans ourselves."

"Doctor, if needed... I can help too."

Although Ling Xi still didn't think she could defeat the Fourth Herrscher, she would have to help if necessary, after all...

If the Previous Era were to perish now, then human civilization would truly be gone, because with humanity's current level of technology, neither the Project Fireseed nor the Stigmata Project could be carried out.

"You'd better just stay home."

Mobius smiled slightly at Ling Xi and said, "Your power is something that civilization in the parallel world doesn't have, so I believe... you are definitely the key to breaking the deadlock and humanity's last hope, so... you can't act recklessly."

With that, Mobius sat back down in his chair and said with a smile, "Alright, Ling Xi, you and Elysia go home first. As for what happens next... I'll let you know if I need anything."

"Yes, I understand, Doctor..."

This time, Ling Xi didn't say much, just nodded silently and accepted Mobius's suggestion.

After all, even if he were to challenge the Fourth Herrscher to a one-on-one fight now, he would most likely be the one to lose.

"Doctor, the people from headquarters have arrived."

Suddenly, Klein walked in and said, "It seems they've been ordered to deliver something from headquarters!"

"Oh? They've finally arrived?"

Immediately, Mobius's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Klein, "Let them in quickly."

Then, a fully armed squad escorted a heavy metal box into the laboratory. The captain at the head of the squad saluted Mobius and said, "Dr. Mobius, we were ordered to escort supplies to you. The mission is now complete. Please give us your instructions!"

"Yes, I received the items. You can go back now."

Mobius nodded casually, indicating that the other party could leave.

"Yes, Doctor!"

The other party didn't linger; after leaving their things, they retreated immediately.

"Doctor, what is this?"

Looking at the rectangular box in front of her, which was two meters high and one meter wide, Ling Xi was also a little curious. Was this... the refrigerator that the Doctor bought?

"Oh, well..."

Mobius placed his palm directly on the sensor area!

"Verification successful, Mobius..."

As the box emitted a warning sound, it suddenly began to deform, and layer upon layer of metal protective devices slowly opened, until finally...

A white core encased in a special glass dome appeared before our eyes...

"Space Core?"

In an instant, Ling Xi guessed the origin of this core: incredibly powerful Honkai Energy, and the unique sensation she had only felt on Sirin. Without a doubt, this...

It's the Space Gem, the Space Core from the Herrscher of the Void of the Previous Era!

"Yes, that's right!"

Mobius smiled and nodded, saying, "Humans... probably can't defeat the Fourth Herrscher by relying on their own strength, so... we'll have to borrow some of the Herrscher's power!"

Looking at the Space Gem before him, Mobius felt more confident.

Because, through repeated observations, Mobius discovered that the Fourth Herrscher did not seem to completely withstand the nuclear explosion, but rather used her power to place herself in a different frequency or a different space from the nuclear explosion, therefore...

Mobius then thought of the Herrscher of the Void's power. Last time, Ling Xi used the Herrscher of the Void's power to lock down the Herrscher of Thunder before destroying her. So...

Could this method be used to target the Fourth Herrscher?

So Mobius applied to headquarters for research on the Space Gem, and this time Mobius application was very successful. In less than half an hour, the Herrscher Core was delivered from headquarters to her laboratory.

The reason why those high-ranking officials were so accommodating this time was not because they had a change of heart, but because the weapons that Mobius provided to the second squad yesterday could effectively kill Honkai Beast, which greatly alleviated the passive situation of humanity!

Mobius, who led the project, was given more authority, and his status was elevated!

At the same time, both the high-ranking members of the Flame-Chasing Moths and the UN representatives have realized that in order to fight against the Honkai, they still have to rely on Mobius. So when Mobius applied for the Space Gem, they approved it immediately!

In short, all of humanity's resources should now be tilted toward Mobius!

After all, humans are still humans. Even if infighting is the norm and bickering is a daily occurrence, they will still unite when necessary. Perhaps this is the biggest difference between humans and beasts!

Chapter 234: The Conflict Between Space and Fluid!

"The Space Core..."

Looking at the Space Gem in front of him, Ling Xi was also very interested, after all, among all the Herrscher Core, the Space Core should be one of the most useful cores.

After all, the Space Gem is practically omnipotent, capable of going anywhere from the sky to the earth, and can even open up Imaginary Space. In some cases, it can even enter the Quantum Sea!

In short, the powers of the Space Core are extremely useful, well... actually, the powers of each core are all very useful.

Whether it's the Lightning Herrscher Core that controls electromagnetic forces or the Wind Herrscher Core embodies ideal fluidity, in short, Herrscher who can use their power will absolutely cause a catastrophe of world-ending magnitude.

Of course, the Herrscher of the post-civilization era are another story; almost all of them are incompetent, and half of them are traitors.

"Ling Xi, if..."

Looking at the Space Core before him, Mobius smiled and asked Ling Xi, "If you use the power of the Space Core, plus the power of the Lightning Herrscher Core, and... the power of the Herrscher of Flame, do you think you have a chance of defeating the Fourth Herrscher?"

"I don't know, since I've never tried it, but..."

Ling Xi pondered for a moment before saying, "The Space Core can seal off space and also teleport it, and the Fourth Herrscher's power is probably not invincible, but more like 100% evasion of attacks. Under these circumstances, ordinary attacks are naturally useless, but..."

Ling Xi suddenly thought of a possibility, "If we use the power of our Space Core to directly modify the space around the Herrscher of Wind, could the attack bypass the Fourth Herrscher's defensive fluid and hit the Fourth Herrscher directly?"

"Oh? The Space Core can be used in this way?"

Ling Xi's words instantly made Mobius's eyes light up. Using the power of the Space Core, directly hitting the Fourth Herrscher by distorting space—if this theory holds true, it would be equivalent to breaking through the Fourth Herrscher's strongest defense!

If the defenses can be breached, then humanity will have the opportunity to destroy it!

"Yes, this is only a small part of the use of the Space Core's power. What, Doctor, don't you know?"

Ling Xi looked at her Doctor with some confusion. Wasn't this a basic function of the Space Core? How could Mobius not know it?

"Nonsense, I've never even touched Space Core, how would I know?"

Mobius rolled his eyes at Ling Xi. He didn't know much about the Space Core, and as for the Herrscher of the Void, he had never even come into contact with the corpse or the core, so his knowledge was very limited!

If I had to pinpoint the only time I'd had the chance to experience spatial power up close, it would have been back in the lab when that bastard Ling Xi inexplicably... cough cough!

In short, that was basically the closest Mobius ever came into contact with spatial forces.

Mobius stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "If we could control this power, then dealing with the Fourth Herrscher might not be impossible!"

With that in mind, Mobius didn't want to waste another second and said directly to Klein, "Klein, proceed with the Space Core experiment immediately according to the plan!"

"Doctor, let me help too!"

Ling Xi stepped forward and said, "Although there are many things I don't understand about life sciences,... when it comes to Space Core, I think I should know a little more than the Doctor, and..."

Ling Xi slightly raised her hand, and the Space Gem detached from the glass shield and landed in Ling Xi hand. At the same time, Ling Xi smiled and said, "I may not be familiar with other Herrscher Core, but when it comes to Space Core, apart from the little angel, no one should know more about them than me!"

Ling Xi wasn't bragging. After all, her favorite plot and character was the one where the Queen descended. Therefore, her understanding of the Space Core was definitely second to none!

Besides, even if I don't understand something, why not just ask Sirin in the consciousness space? She's the real... Herrscher of Expansion!

"Can..."

Seeing that Ling Xi was determined to help, Mobius did not refuse again.

After all, with Ling Xi's help in demonstrating and activating the Space Core powers, his research progress could be several times faster.

Perhaps because he had found a way to fight the Fourth Herrscher, Mobius was once again filled with fighting spirit, although...

After the Fourth Herrscher, there will be a Fifth Sixth Herrscher, until the Herrscher of Finality of the End, but...

At least, I can extend human civilization for a little longer. Even if I can't save it in the end, at least... I can leave something behind.

"Finished talking?"

When Ling Xi walked out of the laboratory, Elysia was still waiting there, smiling at Ling Xi.

"Okay, Elysia, let's go back."

Ling Xi smiled at Elysia. Although humanity was facing serious problems, problems were problems, and he couldn't vent his frustrations on his wife.

"Hmm... okay."

Normally, Elysia might have suggested going to the city, but now... let's forget it, Ling Xi isn't fit to go out right now.

"Hmm, Ling Xi, why do you think the Honkai occurs?"

On her drive home, Elysia couldn't help but ask the question: Although humanity has been fighting against the Honkai, the question of where the Honkai comes from and why it occurs remains unanswered.

"Perhaps, it's nature's revenge on humanity..."

Ling Xi smiled and said, "After humans came down from the trees, they fought for millions of years to reach the position of overlords today, and they will not hesitate to eliminate any creature that may threaten their position."

"In this process, resources are consumed and the earth is destroyed, which will continuously increase entropy. Perhaps... the Honkai is another manifestation of the entropy increase caused by mankind."

"Are you promoting environmental protection?"

Elysia rolled her eyes at Ling Xi, but didn't refute him. After all, from a historical perspective, ancient humans rarely, if ever, encountered Honkai. Even when Honkai occasionally occurred, it wasn't in the kind of Honkai, world-destroying manner that we see now...

Now that time has passed, Honkai has almost become the norm for humanity, and during this period, the entropy generated by humanity has indeed increased more and more!

But even knowing this reason, humanity is powerless to change it, after all...

To reduce entropy, humanity would have to give up its current convenient lifestyle and return to the era of charcoal or even firewood, and such a world... is something no one would want to accept.

"Well, I was just saying."

Ling Xi stretched and closed his eyes to rest, saying, "After all, the only lesson humanity learns from history is that it never learns anything from history."

Chapter 235: Elysia can cook too!

"Alright, alright, instead of talking about all this nonsense, let's discuss what to eat tonight."

As Elysia drove, she chuckled, "Since yesterday, Sakura doesn't seem to be coming home as often. After all, she's staying with Mobius, so... what are we going to do for dinner?"

"I remember there seem to be quite a few restaurants around here, right? Or we can order takeout."

Ling Xi certainly didn't want to cook it herself, so she could only eat out or order takeout.

In that instant, Ling Xi thought of her gentle sister Mei again. No matter the wind or rain, no matter the flood, Mei would thoughtfully prepare lunch and dinner for her every noon and evening!

After that, Mei was taken to the World Serpent by Ancestor Kevin, St. Freya Academy began to decline!

So it's confirmed: Mei is the core of the St. Freya Academy's founding!

"Eating out... let's forget about that, I'll cook for you instead."
