This Time, I Won't Let You Leave Me! / Chi You? Crush It!
Cangxuan easily found the reason, saying, "Danzhu, you should remember that we weren't the first group to carry out the Project Fireseed, right? There were other groups that carried out the project, and the original executor... was Kevin two hundred years ago, and Atlantis..."
Cangxuan silently opened the Atlantis data and said, "According to satellite images, the Atlantis civilization emerged about two hundred years ago, and in those short two hundred years, they had already developed the internal combustion engine, and..."
Cangxuan said quietly, "They seem to be preparing to build a spaceship. This is no longer an individual act, but... an act of the entire civilization. Therefore... they have been judged by the Will of Honkai to be representatives of the level of human civilization."
Danzhu: "???" Spaceship?
Holy crap, no wonder there are Honkai Beast of this level. Developing spaceships in this era is... suicidal!
"Roar..."
Meanwhile in Europe, Chiyou roared, and the entire Atlantis was blasted into the ocean...
Chapter 526: This time, I will never let you leave me!
Watching Chiyou utterly destroy the entire Atlantis, the four were speechless, especially Ling Xi, who was completely stunned...
I'm fucking...
The Doctor was instructed in the Previous Era not to engage in high-tech activities in the early stages of the Project Fireseed, but...
The Doctor didn't actually let the Gemini and Hua use high technology, but Atlantis did, and in the end, they still summoned Chiyou, and then they were wiped out. What the hell...
In short, seeing the Chiyou appearing in Europe, Ling Xi was extremely conflicted, incredibly conflicted. After all, this level of Honkai Beast was far beyond what the Honkai Beast of the Previous Era could compare to. The reason why Chiyou was defined as Judgment-class was because the upper limit of Honkai Beast known to mankind was Judgment-class. As for Planetary-level...
Fortunately, it doesn't exist in the Honkai Impact 3rd World, at least... not now.
However, Chiyou's power far surpasses that of ordinary Judgment-class beings. Even the most familiar Bebedragon from the game is only a little over a hundred meters long in the setting, while this Chiyou? It's tens of kilometers long, and...
According to the original game setting, Chiyou You had four Honkai Cores, which could only be destroyed simultaneously within a short period of time. The fatal flaw was that Chiyou's cores were entirely within its body, in other words...
To destroy it, normally at least four people would need to work together and destroy all four cores simultaneously, since Chiyou's length is tens of kilometers.
"What should we do next?"
After a long silence, Cangxuan finally spoke first, saying, "If we don't deal with that Honkai Beast, this world is doomed."
"There's no saving him, just wait to die. Goodbye!"
Danzhu immediately launched a three-part suicide attack. It wasn't that she lacked confidence, but facing this kind of monster, if the Previous Era were still there, it would be easier to deal with. At worst, she could overwhelm it with Fused Warrior and technological weapons. Moreover, Ling Xi, who possessed the Herrscher Core, could obviously easily destroy this kind of monster!
But now...
Not to mention other Herrscher Core, Ling Xi doesn't even know where her own Flame Herrscher Core is, and she doesn't even know if it's usable.
"Actually, eliminating Chiyou You shouldn't be too difficult."
Hua calmly said, "According to the data, Chiyou has a total of four cores. I just need to find the location of the cores and destroy them at the same time."
"I think it's feasible."
Cangxuan nodded silently, "Ling Xi, Hua, my sister, and me, we can each take charge of one core!"
"Hey, wait a minute."
Danzhu immediately said, "I won't talk about Ling Xi and Hua, after all, you are Fused Warrior, destroying the core is not difficult for you, but my sister and I are just ordinary people. Let alone whether we can succeed or reach the core, even if we do reach it, how are we going to destroy the core?"
"Don't worry, we have the Divine Key, don't we?"
Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't forget that when we went back to headquarters last time, Ling Xi brought back two Divine Key, namely the Seven Thunders of Retribution and the Star of Eden. We can each control one, isn't that enough?"
"Eh, but the Divine Key ..."
Danzhu was about to say something, because... the Divine Key is not so easy to control. It generates extremely powerful Honkai Energy the moment it is released, so it is usually used by Fused Warrior. If an ordinary person uses it, it is basically no different from using Heavenly Fire to commit suicide!
Therefore, Danzhu knew that Cangxuan's plan was clearly based on sacrificing the two of them.
However, considering the potential destruction Chiyou could cause, Danzhu ultimately didn't say much, although...
She desperately wanted to live, but if she didn't kill Chiyou, the entire civilization would perish.
"..."
Hua clearly understood this as well, but she didn't know what to say, since in her opinion, this was probably the only way.
Unless she could awaken Elysia and Sakura, and then have each of them take charge of a core, she silently looked at Ling Xi, hoping that Ling Xi could say something.
"There's no need for that."
Ling Xi thought for a moment and said, "I can handle Chiyou by myself."
"Ha?"
Upon hearing this, all three looked at Ling Xi with some surprise.
"Ling Xi, don't do anything reckless."
Danzhu immediately said in an annoyed tone, "I know you're strong, but you're not the same person you were in the Previous Era. You're just Fused Warrior now, not Herrscher. If you go and challenge Chi You to a Chiyou, you'll probably just be handing yourself over."
"Um."
Cangxuan agreed with Danzhu's idea and said, "Ling Xi, we can think of a solution slowly. In short, this matter cannot be left to you alone."
Cangxuan knew why Ling Xi did this, but she was unwilling to sacrifice Ling Xi for her and Danzhu's safety, since Ling Xi's value far exceeded that of the two of them.
"Ling Xi, I can help you."
Hua did not directly refuse Ling Xi, after all, she did not know that Cangxuan and Danzhu were involved. Although they were not very familiar with each other in the Previous Era, they were still close friends who had spent three years together, playing games together, soaking in hot springs together, and were almost ready to fight together.
So, Hua actually agrees with Ling Xi's plan, but... she also intends to participate.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Ling Xi stroked her chin and calmly said, "Don't forget what the Hypervariable Factor in my body is. I won't die."
"Me too."
Hua calmly stated, "My Hypervariable Factor has also granted me the power of rebirth."
"No, that's different."
Ling Xi smiled at Hua, then shook her head. "Your Hypervariable Factor only gave your cells extremely strong activity, so strictly speaking, you weren't reborn. Instead, you're like a starfish, using cells to rebuild your body. So... if your body is devoured by Chiyou and completely disappears, then you'll disappear too..."
"I..."
Hua opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute it, because Ling Xi was telling the truth. Rather than describing herself as resurrected, it was more accurate to say that her body was regrowth. As long as one cell was alive, she would be "resurrected" again!
"But I'm different."
Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Shesha's ability is not only resurrection and recovery, but also... infinity and reset. So, even if my body completely disappears, as long as my reset time is still remaining, I will reappear. At most, it's just a matter of how long the resurrection time will be..."
Finally, Ling Xi smiled at the three of them and said, "You don't need to worry about me dying. After all, according to the rules, I can't possibly die unless I use up all my remaining reset time. So, I alone am enough to eliminate Chiyou."
Chapter 527: Chiyou? Crush him!
"Because I... will never die!"
Ling Xi looked at the three people in front of him seriously. As for his own safety, Ling Xi was not worried at all. After all, according to the game's settings, his Doctor wife had died countless times, but she could always be resurrected, at most she would just be a little smaller.
After all, the price of Shesha's resurrection was the loss of time in the Infinite. Therefore, unless her Doctor dies too many times, causing her reset time to go back to the time before her birth, she is impossible to die.
As for resetting time back to before her birth, then Mobius might simply disappear, after all...
Before Mobius was born, Mobius did not exist in this world. Therefore, if Mobius's timeline were reset to before her birth, she would most likely have truly disappeared.
Similarly, the same applies to myself.
Of course, based on my current timeline, I'd have to die at least dozens, maybe even hundreds of times, before I could completely disappear, right? After all, since becoming Fused Warrior, I've only used my reset ability twice—the first time was after I implanted Sasha Gene, and the second time...
That will be the Finality of the battle.
Therefore, I can do whatever I want.
After Ling Xi's words, Cangxuan and Danzhu could not find a reason to refute her, after all, this was Ling Xi's ability, and also the Doctor's ability, which they were well aware of.
"What should we do with those four cores?"
Cangxuan then asked another question: even if Ling Xi is strong, she is still just one person, and Chiyou's regenerative ability is extremely strong, so the only way to eliminate her is to destroy all the cores almost simultaneously, otherwise...
Chiyou You will then be able to regenerate indefinitely.
"Why bother with the four cores? Since we can't destroy them one by one, then we'll just... crush them!"
Ling Xi directly took out the Star of Eden and laughed, "Don't forget how the Mu Continent disappeared back then. And the Star of Eden, made from the core of the Herrscher of Rock, is certainly not as powerful as the Herrscher, but... back then, the Herrscher of Rock sank the Mu Continent, which was thousands of kilometers long, so..."
"I can use the Star of Eden to destroy the Chiyou, which is tens of kilometers long. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"You mean the zeroth power rating?"
Cangxuan immediately realized something and said, "But if that happens, the space within a hundred kilometers around will be crushed, and the user..."
"I told you, I won't die."
Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Therefore, this task can only be completed by me. Of course, perhaps the Doctor can also do it, but apart from the two of us, anyone else would truly perish together."
"Then... can your energy activate the zeroth power level of Star of Eden?"
Cangxuan asked another question. After all, activating the zeroth power level of the Divine Key requires not only courage but also an immense amount of energy. Even in the Previous Era, only Kevin had ever successfully activated the zeroth power level of the Divine Key.
Of course, Ling Xi from the Previous Era could also do it, after all, Ling Xi from the Previous Era was Herrscher fused with Stigmata Warrior.
However, apart from the Skyfire Judgement being activated once, none of the other Divine Key have ever used this power, after all... it's too terrifying.
"Definitely."
Ling Xi nodded seriously, "Although I don't have Herrscher Core right now, don't forget that my Honkai Energy Adaptability also above 3000HW, which is not much different from Kevin's back then. Moreover, I am much more familiar with the Herrscher Core than Kevin."
At this moment, all three remained silent, unsure of what to say...
They certainly didn't want Ling Xi to defeat Chiyou in this way. Regardless of the outcome, the key issue was that if Ling Xi sacrificed himself this time, who knew how long it would take for him to be resurrected...
However, they also know very well that this is currently the safest method that does not require sacrificing anyone.
"Then... Ling Xi, how long will you be resurrected this time?"
Finally, Danzhu couldn't help but ask the question. If it was only for a short time, then she and her sister could wait for Ling Xi to return. But if it was for a long time, then...
Once she and her sister go into hibernation, Hua will spend hundreds or even thousands of years alone.
"I have no idea."
Ling Xi shook her head and said, "However... I think it won't be short. According to the Doctor's original calculation formula, the higher the degree of disappearance, the longer the reset time. And under the gravity of Star of Eden, I should completely disappear, so..."
"Perhaps, it could take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years..."
Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, there is no doubt that I can be reborn."
Although he hadn't actually verified it himself, and Mobius hadn't tried dying this way either, but...
Ling Xi had absolute trust in his wife, who was Doctor, so Ling Xi believed Mobius's calculations: no matter how reckless he was, given enough time, he would be reborn.
"Keep three of the Hibernation Pod, and I'll keep the other four. After all, time is frozen in my special space, in case you need them in the future."
"Oh, right, I'm leaving the spaceship with you too..."
Over the next few days, everyone made preparations, and Ling Xi also gave some instructions...
"And you two..."
Ling Xi gently held Cangxuan and Danzhu in her arms and smiled, "You must go into hibernation as soon as possible. After all, I still want to see you again in the future. As for Hua... Cangxuan, the materials for Armed Dolls... you should proceed according to the original plan."
"I see..."
Cangxuan nodded earnestly. Although she didn't want to be separated from Ling Xi, nor did she want to leave Hua alone in this era, but...
There's no other way; in order to meet again in the future, this is the only choice we have to make now!
"I see..."
Danzhu, unlike her usual lively and mischievous self, nodded seriously, thinking... well, at least this isn't the end, it's just a temporary separation!
"I'm sorry, Hua..."
Finally, Ling Xi looked at Hua with some guilt and said, "Perhaps... for the next few thousand years, you may have to rely on yourself alone, but... after I wake up, I will definitely come to find you as soon as possible, and find... our current home."
"No, I should apologize, it was me..."
Hua smiled and said, "I... can only watch you do these things, while I... can't do anything. Don't worry, Ling Xi, I will definitely protect this land."
At this moment, Hua was also filled with many thoughts. He realized that he was still too weak!
Previous Era, of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, I estimated that only Pardo was someone I could defeat. What? You mean Griseo? Uh... it's not a question of whether I can win, but rather...
