Before Chang Yuan could even speak, Airi preemptively struck back.

She completely ignored the fact that she had also hooked her arm around Chang Yuan's neck earlier.

"Hey, hey, hey, you crossed the line too, why are you only talking about me?"

Chang Yuan complained, pouting.

At this moment, Airi stood up, hands on her hips, looking self-righteous as she declared, "Because I'm a girl."

"..."

Hearing this reason, Chang Yuan was instantly rendered speechless.

"Because I'm a girl," what an unassailable argument, he truly had no way to refute it.

"Hmph, hmph, so it's all your fault."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, alright? Let's go out for breakfast first."

As he spoke, Chang Yuan also put away the piece of paper from his bedside.

It was what he had written while Airi was bathing last night, left for Velvie.

"Hmph, hmph~?"

Seeing Chang Yuan back down and admit defeat, Airi hummed happily.

Then she opened the door and went out.

After the three of them finished breakfast, Airi said goodbye to Velvie.

At the time of parting, Chang Yuan also handed the paper he had written to Velvie.

Only after confirming that Chang Yuan and the others had completely left did Velvie open the paper to read it.

However, the more she read, the more shocked Velvie became.

This was because the contents of the note were too unbelievable.

"Velvie, by the time you read this, I may have already left with Airi. Please remember everything I write next.

I believe that with your intelligence and talent, you can definitely invent a Honkai serum. Please start researching it now, because I'm afraid I don't have Honkai resistance.

Second, the order of Herrscher birth and their powers.

The Zero Herrscher, the Herrscher of Humanity, the Origin Herrscher. Its powers are unknown, but it is speculated to be a miracle, and it is the only one on humanity's side. She is still alive, but I cannot tell you her identity.

The First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason. Its power is comprehension and replication; it can replicate anything it understands, but it has died, killed by Flame-Chasing Moth.

The Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of Void. Its power is space control, as the name suggests, the power to control space. It has not yet been born.

The Third Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder. Its power is electromagnetism, in the scientific sense. She can control it at will. She has not yet been born.

The Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind. Its power is ideal fluid.

The Fifth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Ice. It controls weak nuclei and is harmless to humans because it dies at the hands of others shortly after birth. Of course, this may not be the case.

The Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death. It possesses the abilities of decomposition and healing, breaking down at a molecular level, and the ability to instantly heal and recover as long as the brain is not damaged.

The Seventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Flames. It controls molecular motion.

The Eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Sentience. It controls memetic abilities, altering others' intentions.

The Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Rocks. It controls gravity.

The Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thousand People. It has 1000 individuals, each with a weak superpower. The greatest threat is that they could be nearby, capable of killing top scientific figures at any moment.

The Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding. It can bind any energy, including Honkai energy and life energy. It creates a barrier, and ordinary people who step into this barrier will die within three seconds. To destroy this barrier, it must be blown apart.

The Twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Corrosion. It can corrode any electronic device, and even the human body.

And finally, the Thirteenth Herrscher, the final Herrscher, the Herrscher of Finality. It controls the power of time loops. Its power comes from the source of Honkai, which is the Cocoon of Finality.

All Herrschers can be said to be its projections, except for the Zero Herrscher, who is the most special.

The Cocoon of Finality is something from a higher-dimensional civilization. It is rooted at the end of the Imaginary Tree, aiming to continuously create a similar being to itself by cycling through civilizations. This is the truth of Honkai, the secret of all Honkai.

Oh, and here are some suggestions: Herrscher cores can be used to forge corresponding weapons to recreate the Herrschers' powers.

Among them, you can create a special metal composed of nanometer-sized robots. This metal can contain the power of a Herrscher core.

Finally, you can create a device that can absorb Honkai energy and convert it into other forms of energy. This will be extremely important when facing the Herrscher of Finality in the end.

In summary, this is all I know. Velvie, I'm counting on you. I hope that you, with your foresight, can save more people."

"..."

Looking at the string of words Chang Yuan had left behind, Velvie fell into deep thought.

She wondered how Chang Yuan knew so much.

However, when she reached the end, she had a guess.

This time, it meant he had experienced more than once.

"Reborn? That's too fantastical, but it sounds plausible. Tsk, whatever, it won't hurt to try. If he lied to me, I'll teach him a lesson next time I see him."

Ultimately, Velvie chose to believe Chang Yuan. At worst, she would have been deceived once.

See you next time, and I'll get it back then.

"Honkai serum? Sigh, another batch of great contributors. Honestly, I don't know how long my little nest egg will last this time."

Scratching his head, Velvie started working on other things.

After all, the metal composed of nanobots was the easiest for her to achieve at the moment.

Without any other samples or materials, that would have to be postponed.

"Hmph hmph, since you trust me so much, if it's successful later, I'll give you credit."

And so, the gears of fate began to turn at this moment.

Meanwhile...

"Chang Yuan, what did you write on the paper you left for Velvie just now?"

She had wanted to take a look before, but Chang Yuan was so stingy that he didn't even let her glance at it before giving it to Velvie.

"It's my secret. Don't worry, you'll know in the future."

"Always saying that. Can't you stop piquing my curiosity and then being secretive? It's really annoying. Aren't you afraid you won't find a girlfriend in the future?"

"..." A girlfriend? Aren't you right here?

Of course, Chang Yuan couldn't say that.

Because his relationship with Airi was a bit strange now.

Although they were close, they weren't like lovers, more like family.

But he didn't want that kind of relationship! He wanted a girlfriend, a wife! Not family!

I hope that when I finally confess, she doesn't say, "I only see you as a brother!"
