"Velvie, do you think if we embedded all the Herrscher cores, it could unleash the power of the Herrscher of Finality?"
Hearing Chang Yuan's question, Velvie was momentarily stunned.
But then she shook her head.
"It's impossible. Didn't you say it yourself before? All Herrschers are just projections of the Herrscher of Finality. No matter how good a projection is, it can't surpass the original. But there are no absolutes."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing that Velvie didn't completely dismiss the possibility, Chang Yuan immediately became interested.
"If, and this is just a hypothetical 'if,' we were to activate the Blank Divine Key at the cost of all the Herrscher cores being scrapped, then it might be possible to rival the Herrscher of Finality, even if only for a moment.
But if we were to do that, the person wielding the Blank Divine Key would surely die. The Honkai Energy generated by ordinary Herrschers alone would be enough to irradiate and kill many people.
That level of Honkai Energy, comparable to the Herrscher of Finality, might not even be survivable by the Herrscher themselves. So this idea is simply impossible to realize. The user might die the very instant it's activated."
"..."
Hearing Velvie's words, Chang Yuan naturally felt a bit disappointed, but at the same time, a flame called hope ignited within him.
No one could withstand the Honkai Energy of the Herrscher of Finality now, but what about the future? The future might not be impossible.
And Kevin would be the most suitable. After all, in the future, he would steal the authority of the Herrscher of Finality.
"Alright, don't think about all that nonsense for now. It's still a long way until the Herrscher of Finality descends. We'll definitely find a way before then. At worst, we'll just build a few hundred Moonlight Thrones."
Sensing Chang Yuan's mood wasn't right, Velvie patted the back of his head, telling him not to overthink things.
The blow made Chang Yuan stumble, and he stopped his wild thoughts.
After all, that one slap had scattered his train of thought.
"Velvie, can't you control your strength a little? Do you think you're still a normal person? If my physical condition hadn't improved, that palm strike of yours would have killed me."
Rubbing the back of his slightly dazed head, Chang Yuan twitched his lips and said helplessly.
"It's precisely because I know you can take it that I dared to hit you like that. As the creator, I naturally know your physical limits."
Saying this, Velvie proudly puffed out her chest.
Apart from Airi, she was arguably the person who understood Chang Yuan the best, at least in a physical sense.
After all, Chang Yuan had undergone a physical examination with her in the past, and she had completed it after three days of self-study in medicine.
The final result was normal.
Beep beep beep—!
"Wait, a Herrscher just descended?"
Hearing the alarm, Chang Yuan's expression immediately changed.
This was the alarm for Herrscher-level Honkai Energy.
Only when Herrscher-level Honkai Energy was generated would this alarm sound.
Instantly, the two stopped chatting and immediately went to manage the situation.
The descent of the 3rd Honkai meant that Dr. Mei and Kevin had joined Flame-Chasing Moth.
"Another Honkai has descended? A'Yuan, do you think this one will be difficult to overcome as well?"
On the dedicated helicopter, Airi asked with some worry.
She hadn't experienced the 1st Honkai, and Chang Yuan had almost died during the 2nd Honkai.
So, for the 3rd Honkai, she was already a little concerned.
"It's alright. Did you forget about the Second Divine Key? As long as nothing unexpected happens, the Herrscher can be easily killed. But remember, you must aim for the head."
"Hoo, I know. Don't you trust my archery skills yet?"
Taking a deep breath, Airi's usual smile returned.
Soon, the two arrived at the city where the Third Herrscher had descended.
Upon seeing this, they leaped directly from the helicopter, a hundred meters in the air.
Just before landing, they activated Velvie's deceleration landing device.
Although they could have landed directly, the impact would have been too great. If the Herrscher were hidden and they were exposed, it would be problematic.
After landing, the two took out the Honkai detection radar given to them by Velvie.
It would guide them to the area with the highest concentration of Honkai Energy, which was where the Herrscher was located.
Along the way, with the Second Divine Key, Airi was practically invincible. Chang Yuan didn't even have to lift a finger.
Soon, the two arrived at the place with the highest concentration of Honkai Energy.
As soon as they appeared, a purple-red lightning bolt struck towards them.
"We've been discovered."
Both of them were a little surprised to be discovered.
But then they thought that electromagnetism could also sense the bioelectricity of living beings.
Suddenly, both of them understood why they had been exposed.
However, exposure or not, for the Herrscher, they could be killed with a single arrow.
After dodging the first wave of attacks, Airi quickly drew her bow and fired.
But the moment before the arrow was loosed, a massive giant snake appeared.
The dark green liquid it spat out directly collided with the arrow Airi had fired.
The fired arrow was indeed sprayed, but it didn't prevent her from piercing the giant snake's throat with a single shot.
However, the pool of liquid seemed to possess electromagnetic force, directly causing spatial distortion and making the arrow narrowly miss the Third Herrscher.
Witnessing this, Chang Yuan finally realized he had underestimated all Herrschers.
Before Airi could fire a second arrow, the dark green giant snake swept its tail towards them.
Seeing this, Airi had no time to shoot and could only leap into the air.
Chang Yuan did the same.
This snake was estimated to be at least 200 meters long, with a diameter of at least 10 meters.
As its tail swept down, surrounding buildings collapsed with a roar.
This also inadvertently injured many Honkai monsters.
However, the dark green giant snake clearly didn't care, and instead spat a mouthful of dark green liquid towards Airi.
Facing this series of continuous attacks, Airi had no opportunity to counter and could only keep dodging, even having to evade the collapsing skyscrapers.
Meanwhile, Chang Yuan was not considered a threat by the Third Herrscher, so he was not noticed by the Third Herrscher or the dark green giant snake.
After dodging the first tail sweep attack, neither of them paid any further attention to Chang Yuan.
Even though the Third Herrscher sensed that Chang Yuan was still alive, she still didn't care.
Because in her perception, Chang Yuan's threat to her was less than one percent of the pink-haired woman before her.
Therefore, what she needed to do now was to kill this pink-haired woman first, and then she could deal with the other bug.
But she didn't know that bugs could also bite people to death.
Using the leaning skyscraper, Chang Yuan quickly ran upwards.
