Hearing Chang Yuan's words, Velvie also reacted.

She immediately used the tools she had prepared from the start to excavate the Herrscher of Void's core.

Upon receiving the core, Velvie's eyes lit up.

"Teacher Da V, let's not make a train this time. Let's make some useful weapons. If we're in a desperate situation later, we can always go back to making a train."

"Huh? How did you know I was going to make a train? No, no, has your precognition gotten stronger again?"

Seeing Chang Yuan expose her thoughts with a single sentence, Velvie was a little surprised.

After all, she already knew Chang Yuan possessed precognitive abilities.

So she wasn't overly shocked by this.

"Good grief, so you really were planning to make a train? Think about the Fourth Herrscher, my Teacher Da V.

That thing's authority is ideal fluid. Without the appropriate means, humanity's current technology can't even scratch her!

So you, with the Second Herrscher's core, should make a spatial weapon, not a train! Are you trying to ram the Fourth Herrscher to death with a train?"

Chang Yuan's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

My goodness, Velvie, Teacher Da V, you really want to keep making your train!

Do you know that in the original plot, Dr. Mobius banned you from making Divine Keys precisely because you made a train?

"Got it, got it. I already finished my train, just need to install the core and it'll be usable."

Hearing Chang Yuan's words, Velvie pouted but ultimately could only agree.

After all, a lot of her current inspiration came from Chang Yuan.

So he could be considered half a creator of Divine Keys.

Seeing that Velvie had abandoned her whimsical idea, Chang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right, for the weapon, let's use a bow as the prototype. I believe if Airi had a bow like this, then for future Herrschers, excluding a few particularly monstrous ones, she should be unrivaled."

Spatial abilities, that's the most terrifying offensive capability, completely undodgeable.

Aside from the Ninth Herrscher's gravity, the Eleventh Herrscher of Binding, and the Twelfth Herrscher of Corrosion, only the Herrscher of Death could withstand a few more arrows.

For any other Herrscher, being hit would be equivalent to death.

If, in the original story, Airi could have obtained a bow-type Divine Key made from the Herrscher of Void's core, then perhaps humanity's losses could have been reduced by at least half.

Unfortunately, due to the original story's lack of understanding of Honkai, they chose to create a fire-type Divine Key to observe parallel worlds and explore the true mysteries of Honkai.

But now that he knew in advance, there was no need for a fire-type Divine Key.

"That's possible. If I research for about a month, I should be able to make it. It'll be amazing, I promise."

With her preliminary experience, Velvie was confident she could complete it within a month.

Unless it was a large-scale Divine Key, a small weapon like this would only take a month.

"So, when we left earlier, what exactly did you leave Velvie?"

Airi had also picked up on many key pieces of information from their conversation.

However, the source of all this key information was Chang Yuan.

Airi had reason to suspect that Chang Yuan had left something extraordinary with Velvie when he departed.

Otherwise, why would they be discussing Honkai-resistant Serum and Divine Keys right after meeting?

"Ehehe, Chang Yuan hasn't told you yet? Then I can't reveal it to you prematurely."

Upon hearing this, Velvie decided to keep Chang Yuan's secret. At least, she wouldn't tell anyone until he told her himself.

"A Yuan, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?"

"I don't know, but I imagine quite a few."

Chang Yuan looked at Airi's expression and smiled gently.

"Alright, we're running out of time. Velvie, you should leave quickly. I'll call you when I need you next."

"Okay, I'll be waiting. Goodbye."

With that, Velvie quickly disappeared using her small flying backpack.

Watching Velvie's retreating figure, the area was soon surrounded by people from Flame-Chasing Moth who arrived later.

"Who are you? Did you kill that monster?"

Seeing the Herrscher of Void, identical to the intelligence reports, now dead from an arrow to the brain, the arriving Flame-Chasing Moth support team members asked in surprise.

They knew this monster had slaughtered countless of their comrades, and now it had been dealt with by two unknown individuals.

"Us? We're new recruits to Flame-Chasing Moth. Our information hasn't been entered into the database yet, and we were dispatched to hunt monsters."

"I see. However, it's a great fortune for humanity to have you join Flame-Chasing Moth."

Having experienced the feeling of life slipping away beside them, they now understood how terrifying the monsters they faced truly were.

Therefore, they were very welcoming of powerful individuals joining Flame-Chasing Moth.

"Alright, since you two successfully wiped out this monster, this credit should rightfully go to both of you.

However, neither of you has been registered in the information database yet, so you'll come back with me now to get your identities recorded."

"Okay~?"

Airi nodded and smiled at this.

She wasn't lying, it was just a bit of linguistic artistry. If she wanted to join now, she could.

As for the Herrscher's corpse, other support personnel would naturally handle the cleanup.

Seeing how easily they'd joined Flame-Chasing Moth by muddling the waters, Chang Yuan couldn't help but cover his forehead in exasperation.

After finally registering all their information, Airi and Chang Yuan went to see Dr. Mobius once more.

"Dr. Mobius, I apologize for deceiving you earlier. We weren't sent by the council to retrieve your badge; we just needed an identity to enter to deal with that monster. Otherwise, the people on the perimeter wouldn't let us through."

Handing Dr. Mobius's badge back to her, Airi apologized with a very sincere attitude.

Taking back the badge that belonged to her, Dr. Mobius finally looked up at Airi.

"I don't mind. It's your luck that you survived. However, it's best not to get too close to me, because I dislike people being near me."

After saying this, Dr. Mobius went to prepare her sterilized white coat.

She would personally dissect the second Herrscher shortly.

She hoped to obtain some useful information, or rather, something useful from those monsters this time.
