The Final Countdown!
Are you here to say goodbye?
Inside the room, a woman, holding her wine glass and slightly drunk, smiled at Ling Xi.
"More or less."
Ling Xi nodded and smiled, "There are only a few hours left before departure."
"Why..."
Eden didn't say much, just silently sipped the wine in his glass and smiled, "Come back soon."
"Um..."
Ling Xi nodded slightly, then couldn't help but ask, "Eden... aren't you angry with me?"
Actually, Ling Xi felt somewhat sorry for her. Although he had never mistreated her, his actions of leaving her behind after going alone, and his failure to keep his promise to go to the future together, were...
Ling Xi felt somewhat guilty!
"Sigh, that's life."
Eden chuckled as he drank, "If life were perfect but without regrets, that would be what an imperfect life is all about. Besides... it's your choice, and I know I can't change it, so..."
Eden slowly approached Ling Xi, gently embraced Ling Xi, and said tenderly with a smile, "Ling Xi, go do what you need to do. No matter how long it takes, I... will be here waiting for you."
"Yes, I... I will definitely come back!"
Ling Xi looked at Eden intently. It has to be said that Eden is practically perfect. Apart from his love of getting drunk, he has almost no flaws!
Of course, in Ling Xi's opinion, getting drunk is not a disadvantage. After all, when drunk, Eden is more uninhibited and more talkative!
"Okay, go ahead..."
Eden stretched and chuckled, "Time is running out, you should take a short rest too."
"No need to rest."
Ling Xi hugged Eden tightly and laughed, "The spaceship to the moon will take nearly ten hours. We'll have enough time to rest on the spaceship. Now..."
Ling Xi hugged Eden and whispered with a smile, "I want to rest with you..."
"Hmm... hehe, okay!"
Eden didn't refuse, and gently kissed Ling Xi...
After calming Eden down, there were still two hours before departure, and Ling Xi was also called to the laboratory by Mobius.
"Doctor, is there something you need?"
Upon arriving at Mobius's laboratory, Ling Xi discovered that Klein was not there, nor were the two slackers; Mobius was the only one in the entire laboratory.
"Here's something for you!"
Mobius pulled out a metal syringe and said, "This is an atomic-level robot that Mebius and I developed together. However, there are still too few of them to scale up. Originally, I planned to save it for the future or some time later before injecting you with it, but..."
"Why..."
Mobius sighed helplessly and said, "Time doesn't allow, so I can only give you the injection for now!"
"An atomic-level robot?"
Ling Xi was also taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why would I need to inject this? And... what's the use of it?"
Ling Xi wasn't worried that Mobius would harm him; he was just curious!
"To prevent you from getting lost and not being able to find your way home."
Mobius didn't hide anything and said directly, "There's still a lot of unknown information about your identity, and you came to our world from another parallel world, so... I'm worried that you might disappear like you did in other parallel worlds!"
"So, I've prepared this for you: atomic-level robots. Although their numbers are currently small enough to form a large-scale system with complete circuitry, but..."
Mobius said seriously, "They can reproduce themselves, so once they reach a certain scale, they can directly construct circuits using your body, thus forming artificial intelligence. I have marked the coordinates of our parallel world in the robots, therefore..."
"If you ever get lost and can't find your way home, it can bring you back!"
In reality, atomic-level robots are currently extremely rare, and their error rate is not low. Furthermore, many functions are still under development and not fully realized, so in practice...
The robot that Mobius injected into Ling Xi may not have much effect, and it is even unknown whether it can be successfully activated into artificial intelligence!
However, time doesn't allow it, so we have to keep everything simple and leave the rest to fate!
"Does it have any special abilities?"
Ling Xi was still somewhat curious.
"I don't know, maybe..."
Mobius smiled slightly and quipped, "It'll probably be like a system in a novel, or some kind of old man with a ring."
"Forget about the old man, the thought of him being inside me gives me the creeps!"
Ling Xi resolutely refused. At least the old man's ring was removable, while hers... the atomic-level robot was inside her body!
"Hmph, I knew you'd say that..."
Mobius rolled his eyes at Ling Xi, then chuckled irritably, "Don't worry, there's no old man involved. I designed the AI system based on that girl Elysia, so I guess it'll get along with you quite well."
Mobius originally intended to design the artificial intelligence based on himself, but considering his own personality, Mobius felt that Ling Xi would never be able to find her way home, so...
Ultimately, we used Elysia as the model for the design, after all...
Although I dislike that girl a bit, when it comes to social skills, a hundred of me wouldn't be a match for her!
Secondly, there's another reason: in other parallel worlds, almost all the clues about Ling Xi come from Elysia. Clearly, the ill-fated relationship between Ling Xi and that girl Elysia extends far beyond this world, so...
In every respect, Elysia is more suitable than herself!
"Well... that's alright."
After hearing what Mobius said, Ling Xi felt it was acceptable!
"Besides."
Mobius continued, "Because I don't know how long it will take for these robots to self-replicate and form the rudiments of artificial intelligence, Elysia designed an activation password for them to avoid affecting them. They will only start when they have the conditions to form artificial intelligence and you enter the activation password!"
"Password?"
Ling Xi said quietly, "I can't do anything?"
Mobius "..."
"For you!"
Mobius handed Ling Xi a note because she didn't want to read out the seven-word code!
"Um?"
Ling Xi also took it and looked at it...
Ling Xi: "..." Okay, that suits Elysia's style perfectly!
Moreover, I'm sure I won't forget this password. Even if I do forget it, as long as I remember Elysia, I'll definitely blurt out the password without even realizing it!
"Alright, enough talk, it's time for your shot!"
After explaining for a while, Mobius also raised a syringe as thick as a child's wrist and laughed, "Ling Xi, come on, lie down..."
Ling Xi: "..." Holy crap, are you sure this isn't for Emperor-class Honkai Beast?
"Ah~ Ah..."
Finally, with a seductive sound, Ling Xi successfully implanted the atomic-level robot...
Chapter 470: The Countdown to the Finality!
"That concludes our final plan, Ling Xi. Would you like me to repeat it?"
After Ling Xi injected the robot, he was pulled away by Mobius to have a meeting with Mei, and Mei explained the steps of the God-Slaying Plan to Ling Xi in detail!
"No!"
Ling Xi shook his head and said, "To put it bluntly, defeating the Finality is the most important step; the rest is actually quite simple!"
"Yes, that's about right."
Mei nodded in agreement. "After all, the Finality is basically the upper limit of the power that our world can withstand, and the Honkai God is not the Will of Honkai, so I think she doesn't have much power to mobilize. But once she tries to touch the power of the Imaginary Tree, that will be our opportunity!"
"Okay, I understand."
Ling Xi nodded seriously, indicating that she understood.
"Ling Xi!"
At this moment, Mobius suddenly spoke up, saying, "The Imaginary Tree can do many things, so... if necessary, you can make the right choice, because as long as we win, everything we've lost will come back!"
"Doctor ..."
Ling Xi looked at Mobius with a complicated expression. Clearly, it was Elysia who told Mobius the truth, and Mobius's words were also a way of expressing her attitude...
The Imaginary Tree can do anything, so...
Ling Xi understood what Mobius was trying to say!
"I'll consider it!"
This time, Ling Xi didn't refuse, because it was a huge gamble. If she won, she could take back everything; if she lost... she would have nothing!
"Take this!"
Mobius handed a core to Ling Xi and said, "Although we can't use her power yet, she will make a choice when you make a choice."
"I..."
Ling Xi looked at the core in her hand, her feelings extremely complicated, because...
This is my senior sister's core!
"Um..."
Without further ado, Ling Xi accepted the core!
Subsequently, the other Flame-Chasing Moths also made preparations, bringing almost all of their Divine Key. If Divine Key could not be carried, they would take its core with them!
For example, the Second Divine Key, the Fifth Divine Key, and so on!
In short, all thirteen Herrscher Core possessed by all of humanity, plus the three Herrscher Core brought by Ling Xi, were taken to the moon by Ling Xi and the other Fused Warrior!
There's no need to worry about not being able to bring them back, after all, the Moonlight Throne and the Skyfire Judgement can definitely bring down the Herrscher of Finality!
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Start up!"
With the activation signal, the human spaceship successfully took off, carrying Ling Xi and eight Fused Warriors to the moon!
The atmosphere on the spaceship was somewhat somber. Even the cheerful Elysia had lost her smile and her face was serious.
Looking down at Earth from the spaceship, the once azure planet is no more; the green forests and blue oceans have all turned purple!
Purple represents Honkai and death!
After a long ten-hour flight, the spacecraft successfully landed on the moon. At this point, there were still two hours left in the countdown to the Finality, so...
Everyone can rest for a while at the lunar base!
There are also a dozen or so human scientists and guards on the moon, debugging and maintaining the facilities to fight against the gods. And... from the very beginning, they never thought about going back. The only way to go back is through victory!
"Ugh, I'm so tired..."
In the lunar base, Elysia stretched lazily. The journey had been incredibly boring, because no matter how long the spaceship flew, the scenery was always the same.
"I'm going to rest for a while."
Elysia turned around and went straight into a private room.
"Then I'll go too."
