Dudu's Basement Project

Even the Earth, which was perfectly fine before, underwent incomprehensible changes. Overnight, it was as if all of humanity had completely evaporated and disappeared, leaving the entire Earth empty.

Even the Valkyrie Squad of Schicksal has lost most of its members, and now less than a third of them are still able to maintain operations.

"Headmaster, we're here..."

Looking at the older loli on the screen, Shi Hen did not hesitate at all and immediately gave a concise account of the situation on the moon.

"So that's how it is. You actually encountered something like this..."

After listening to the boy's story, Theresa couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear on her face.

The World Serpent's Stigmata Project has changed the entire Earth's environment in such a short time; it's truly terrifying.

Faced with such a vast and ambitious plan, how can they turn the tide and win?

Deep in thought, Theresa couldn't come up with an answer for a long time.

On the other side, after Theresa finished sharing the situation on Earth, Shi Hen also fell into silence and thought.

From any perspective, the World Serpent's Stigmata Project is quite comprehensive, far beyond what the Third Generation can break in a short period of time.

"Headmaster, I have a way to end the Stigmata Project."

At this critical moment, Mei stepped forward and spoke, her face filled with unwavering confidence.

"Mei?"

Upon seeing this, Theresa raised an eyebrow, her small face showing obvious surprise.

Despite her sharp mind, can Mei really solve the problems of the Stigmata Project?

"Yes, I received a lot of help from a friend and learned how to fight the Stigmata Project."

As if sensing the Nun's suspicion, Mei nodded slightly and glanced warily at the boy beside her.

While receiving some of the memories of the "future boy," she also saw how they in another fictional timeline fought against the Stigmata Project.

In other words, at this moment, she possesses a strategy guide from the "future boy".

It's just a Stigmata Project; she can easily reverse and end it with a flick of her wrist.

This significant advantage in intelligence is the true source of her current confidence.

P. S. Although he lost his father, he still has me... I can absolutely be his guide in life.

Chapter 231 The Penguin's Basement Project

"The World Serpent's so-called Stigmata Project is to connect all the people in the world into the same dream through Stigmata. In this process, everyone who is unwilling to wake up will become an asset to the Stigmata Project, jointly shaping an indestructible spiritual giant."

Recalling the information she had received from the "future boy," Mei said thoughtfully.

"So, the key is to get in touch with the people in the dream and make them want to wake up?"

Touching his chin, Shi Hen quickly grasped the core of the problem.

"But realistically speaking, even the first step of invading dreams is a very difficult thing for us."

Einstein, who joined the channel, added.

As a result of the Stigmata Project, the entire Earth's space was rearranged and reconstructed, and people who were originally in the real world were captured and integrated into the imaginary world.

However, for those of them who remain in reality to invade the dream world, the first thing they need to cross is the boundary between real and imaginary numbers.

"This can be left to [Seele] and Li Sushang. As Stigmata Awakeners, they naturally possess the ability to enter dreams."

Mei glanced at Seele, Mei was still tense, and said seriously.

"Huh? You want me to go with that guy?"

Upon hearing this, Seele frowned immediately.

Even with a seemingly noble reason like saving the world, her resentment towards Li Sushang was hard to erase.

"Saving the world through dreams? This era is full of truly bizarre things..."

Upon hearing this, Li Sushang scratched her head, her face showing a look of bewilderment typical of Zhang Yu.

"It's not a dream; the key lies in a person's spirit and will, which is usually referred to as an out-of-body experience."

Shi Hen tried his best to explain to Li Dazhentou.

"Oh, I see. This World Serpent is quite powerful, just like a deity in a story."

Li Sushang instantly understood everything.

"What gods? They're all demons and monsters!"

Upon hearing Li Sushang's words, Schariac immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

It's just a mere World Serpent; when did it become worthy of being ranked alongside her and those ancient relics?

"But according to Yae Sakura, the dream created by the Stigmata Project is a paradise that combines all the good things in humanity, and it is probably not something that can be easily shaken."

Durandal added, a hint of seriousness in her expression.

"A dream is just a dream. No matter how beautiful it is, it is still an illusion. Humans are not creatures that stop there."

Mei shook her head and said with an unwavering expression.

Having witnessed a fictional story from another timeline, she knew all too well how fragile this so-called Stigmata Project actually was.

After all, if humans would really give up everything because of a dream, then they themselves wouldn't be worth saving.

For humanity and for civilization, the world's light may be focused on a few heroes, but without the support of the general public, no matter how outstanding these few heroes are, they cannot lead all of humanity forward together.

"Mei is right, I also believe that the Stigmata Project will never be the end for humanity."

He echoed her words, his Shi Hen unwavering.

"Um..."

Upon receiving the boy's approval, Mei's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she said, "Headmaster, Dr. Einstein, I'll leave the situation on Earth to you. We will also get [Seele] and Li Sushang back to Earth as soon as possible."

"We're fine here, but... there's a distance of 380,000 kilometers between the moon and the earth."

Theresa, somewhat puzzled.

Even with the most advanced aircraft available today, it would take time to traverse such a long distance.

"There is a Star Gate left by Previous Civilization on the moon, which can be used to quickly return to Earth."

Mei explained.

With the information relayed by the "future boy" in the Elysian Realm, she can now easily handle all sorts of situations.

"In that case, I wish you all the best on your end as well."

She nodded slightly, but Theresa's small face still showed obvious worry.

Even if Mei didn't say it explicitly, she could guess that the boy and others left on the moon would face a situation a hundred times more dangerous than on Earth.

After all, according to the findings of her investigations with Einstein and others, the origin of the Stigmata Project was on the moon!

"Don't worry, Headmaster, we will definitely return safely this time."

Upon hearing the Nun's blessing, Mei subconsciously glanced at the calm-faced boy beside her, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

Bearing the expectations of so many people, including the "future boy," she will surely create a happy ending this time.

The plan to counter Stigmata Project was thus finalized, and the communication that spanned 380,000 kilometers between the Earth and the Moon ended.

"Mei, how did you know there are Star Gate on the moon?"

Kiana glanced at the unusually close distance between Mei and the boy with some concern, then blinked and asked.

Not long ago, they were both trapped in the World Bubble, and she felt that her best friend seemed to know too much about the Moon and the Stigmata Project.

"Idiot Kiana, Mei stayed in World Serpent for a full six months."

Before Mei could answer, Bronya glanced at the white-haired girl and spoke.

As a former executive of World Serpent, isn't it normal for Mei to know things they don't?

"Um... well, I actually didn't know that Star Gate existed on the moon."

Somewhat awkwardly raising one hand, Durandal, a former World Serpent executive who had been with the company longer than Mei, added in a low voice.

Bronya's expression froze, and the atmosphere on the field grew even colder.

Mei simply smiled and offered no further explanation.

Although it wasn't something that absolutely needed to be kept secret, she still wanted to keep the details about the "future boy" a little longer.

"Let's hurry up and set off, so we don't keep the headmaster waiting."

With a deep voice, Mei immediately led everyone toward the location of the Star Gate.

Before long, even though [Seele] still had some reservations about traveling with Li Sushang, the group of teenagers quickly arrived at their destination—a magnificent, circular building that resembled a temple in the middle of a mountain crater.

"Is this the Star Gate built by the Previous Civilization? It's magnificent!"

Kiana's gaze swept casually across the circular building, and she couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"But it looks like it's broken."

"Durandal pondered for a moment and then said."

Even though it still looks magnificent, this Star Gate now looks more like a dilapidated ruin than a high-tech facility.

"These are ancient relics from 50,000 years ago. Do you really expect them to be intact?"

Schariac curled his lip and said.

"As long as the power of the Herrscher is used, this Star Gate can also be repaired."

As she explained, Mei looked at the white-haired girl and the Bronya, "Kiana, Bronya, I'm counting on you."

Understanding and reconstruction are the authority of the Herrscher of Reason, and Kiana, the Void Herrscher, can help Bronya find the right answer more quickly.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana smiled brightly, her pretty face radiating confidence.

"Bronya also guarantees to complete the mission."

With a serious expression, Bronya said this.

Although she has not yet fully recovered her Herrscher Authority due to the suppression of the Stigmata Project, she still has plenty of confidence in herself.

After all, the most important thing for those Herrscher of Reason is observation and thought, rather than the level of their power.

Meanwhile, as Kiana and Bronya began repairing the Star Gate, and Seele was persuading her the other self to let go of her prejudice against Li Dazhentou, Shi Hen, under the intense gazes of Mei, Wendy, and the others, moved a little closer to Penguin.

"I apologize, Durandal, for taking over Schicksal without your permission."

With a soft sigh, Shi Hen's face revealed a sincere expression.

Even though he was certain that someone as generous as the Honorable Knight wouldn't mind, as the Third Generation Leader, he still had to bring it up himself.

This persona that belongs to him must not be carelessly destroyed just because his Finality near.

"No, I'm the one who should apologize, Shi Hen."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Durandal immediately shook her head and became serious. "Whether it's Otto's matter or Bai's arrogant attitude, I should be the one apologizing to you!"

Even though the final outcome of the Klotz Town incident was that the boy inherited Otto's binding power and the position of [Welt White]'s Schicksal Bishop, the process was by no means smooth.

Under Otto's probing, the boy was just one step away from losing his life.

Even though the arrogant Welt White didn't directly attack the boy, he still thoroughly trampled on Anti-Entropy's dignity.

As Otto's last student and having a close relationship with Welt White, Durandal firmly believes that she bears some responsibility for this.

As she pondered this, Durandal gazed at the resolute-looking black-haired youth before her, her eyes brimming with admiration.

Although, in reality, the boy had only been in office as bishop for a day and could not possibly have brought about any significant change to Schicksal.

However, the fact that they were able to unite the various forces of Schicksal under those circumstances and prevent this huge organization from falling into chaos already showed that they were worthy of the name of the bishop.

"Therefore, if we are able to achieve victory this time, I hope that you will officially become the new bishop of Schicksal!"

Looking directly into the boy's eyes, Durandal spoke with utmost sincerity.

"Huh? Durandal, are you out of your mind?"

Before the boy could react, Schariac cried out in surprise, his eyes wide with shock as he looked at the Honorable Knight.
