Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

The masked man seemed to have been stepped on and abruptly changed the subject.

"Oh dear, oh dear, you don't want to face reality—"

The blonde girl chuckled at Qian Jie, who was stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake, then turned and led the way for the two of them, while also explaining the details of their destination.

"The Coral Artificial Island City is a next-generation metropolis built on the sea. The project was initiated at the end of 2000. It was initially a project established by humanity's elite and wealthy after experiencing the enormous disaster brought about by the Second Collapse, with the approval of Destiny and the United Nations."

"It is less a city and more a floating city built on the sea, relying entirely on self-sufficiency for all necessities—a maritime refuge and research institute in the field of cutting-edge technology. To avoid the tragedy of the millennium, this city is not entirely rooted in the seabed, but rather a mobile metropolis that is semi-floating on the sea."

"Over time, it has gradually evolved into what you see in the photos. These sail-like building shells are actually all adjustable photovoltaic panels, which are one of the city's important energy sources. Photovoltaic energy, ocean energy, and a few Honkai reactors under the supervision of Destiny make up this city."

"And the purpose of our trip is not simply tourism. As mentioned before, this is also a bridgehead for cutting-edge human technology. See that tower in the picture? It is an important facility for mankind to move towards outer space in this era, the Star Ladder orbital elevator."

"This is one of the facilities that carries the most important hopes for the future of human civilization. You absolutely cannot allow it to have serious problems, and it is absolutely forbidden for it to collapse—this is a Tower of Babel that will truly connect all of humanity."

"You? Gods, since this is something so important to you, why aren't you involved? Are you just going to watch?"

"Looking? No, no, no, I've done what I had to do—the rest is up to you. After all, we didn't go through all this trouble to pull you out of history just for collecting stamps or compiling an illustrated book."

"The people of this era still need heroes—and you will be one of them. I made a promise to the consciousness of the Honkai—I will not directly interfere with the existence of the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Geo..."

"As I said—'direct intervention'... For example, you don't count as my direct intervention, understand?"

The deity, who was desperately exploiting loopholes in the rules, made no attempt to conceal his intentions.

"Hmph... That god called Honkai is really unlucky to have run into you—god, you've finally done something that's somewhat pleasing to the eye—"

"Heh? Look at the comrades and comrades I helped pull back for you. Can you put your hand on your heart and say that sentence again?"

"Hmph—two then!"

"That's more like it."

Chapter 325 Sometimes, you get a buy-one-get-one-free deal on Herrschers!

"So, you mentioned the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Rock. What, are you saying that those two Herrschers will descend at the same time?"

Now that he had received a formal commission, the hot-tempered man became serious and began to question the man for detailed information.

Although he was blunt, he knew how much help the blonde girl in front of him had given them and how much of a favor he owed her.

"Arriving at the same time...? You're not wrong to say that."

The blonde girl paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement with the man's statement.

"Hmph, that city is truly unlucky—with two Herrschers descending at the same time, I can already foresee its fate—"

"You want me to protect that Tower of Babel, not some damn 'city,' right?"

"The only thing you need to protect is that Tower of Babel... Because of the tower's special nature, this city is a free city that maintains international neutrality; apart from a small number of anti-Honkai forces from Destiny and Anti-Entropy, there are no troops from any country stationed on it."

"The Schicksal A-rank Valkyrie squad, the Snow Lotus Squad, and Anti-Entropy's Hundred Machine Squad... This is enough to fight a horde of Honkai Beasts, but it's not enough to deal with two Herrschers."

"Moreover, one of the Heralds comes from among them..."

"From within? God, you mean—?"

"The warriors who fought against the Honkai ultimately became its minions, and former comrades now turn against each other... Is the blood of our comrades flying from the blades the blood of our own, or the blood of the enemy?"

"you....."

Qianjie seemed to have his bad memories rekindled, and he glared angrily at the blonde girl in front of him.

"Don't look at me like that—please remember, Mad King Qianjie—all of this has not yet happened, and ultimately it all depends on your choices."

"I will not interfere with your choices. The birth of a Herrscher is irreversible, but the birth of a tragedy can be averted..."

"Hmph, that's good—what do you want us to do with that Herrscher?"

"A-rank Valkyrie, Anna Schariac, current captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, and the future Herrscher of Ice..."

“I want her to live. If nothing unexpected happens, after the initial rampage, this Herrscher’s desire to attack will become extremely low, and her Naomura human personality will resist the erosion from the Honkai.”

"If you intend to interfere, you can leave after rescuing the members of the Snow Lotus Squad. The person responsible for dealing with the Herrscher in the end is not either of you."

"So, whatever you do, never kill him, understand?"

Snow Apocalypse, walking on the dock, looked at the man who had instantly killed the Herrscher of Ice.

"Oh? It sounds like you have another way to save this Herrscher?"

The man's tone rarely revealed curiosity.

"You asked me and Sakura to go. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were going to silence someone."

"This brings us to your good comrade Hua—you've already seen that unfortunate kid who looks exactly like her, haven't you?"

"Not bad, that kid is quite to my liking, much more interesting than Hua, that taciturn guy."

“That is the Lawgiver—the Lawgiver of Knowledge.”

"........???!"

"A very interesting little one. She was born from Hua's unconscious body. Because of the special nature of the Herrscher of Consciousness... this special Herrscher remembered every detail of Hua's life and battles over the past 50,000 years."

"Even Hua himself couldn't preserve all of these memories; he could only discard them or had no choice but to preserve them in the Feather Dust."

"So that brat thinks he's Fu Hua herself?"

The man guessed the answer immediately.

"That's right—then she got beaten up by her own parents, Hua, and laughed."

"So she still considers herself Chinese even now?"

"She probably won't go back—after all, she got beaten up by the real Hua... Maybe she herself doesn't understand her own place in the world?"

Shi Bao shrugged as he watched Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu mingling together in the distance.

What do you think she means to Hua?

"A brat who runs around with all his memories and dark history, and throws heavy punches at the Honkai?"

“I think she’ll be very bothered by the little one.”

"Hmph, I thought so too. She used to be the second most taciturn guy in Yingjie. With another brat like this appearing, I can already imagine her expression."

"However, this kid is just a special case—the two Herrschers you mentioned couldn't possibly meet such conditions."

"His consciousness was confused due to the influx of the original owner's memories..."

"That's easy to say. What kind of Herrscher is Hua's brat...?"

Snow looked at the man beside him with an expression of absolute certainty.

“Those who understand the laws of knowledge… Okay, I understand what you’re trying to do.”

"And our insurance isn't just this one... Among the people that unlucky old man whose custody of a little cutie was taken away called to seek revenge, there's more than one who can give the Herrscher of Ice and even the Honkai Will behind her a good thrashing."

The blonde girl wore a somewhat mischievous expression, as if she could already see the comical scene of one of her neighbors being struck on the head by a series of powerful blows from the Void Sword God.

"And the other one? Miss Snow, you just mentioned two Herrschers, right? How would you like me to handle the other Herrscher?"

Miss Sakura, finally finding an opportunity to interject, asked another question.

"Oh, don't worry about that. Once you've taken care of Anna Schariac, the Herrscher of Rock will surrender on her own."

"...You voted yourself? I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, Miss Snow."

"Oh, my question, I forgot to tell you, these two Herrschers are a couple."

"The reason for the latter's 'Righteer's' transformation is quite simple: if my wife does it, I do it too, and I don't know why... male Herrschers in this era are not affected by Herrscher consciousness..."

"So if we take care of the Herrscher of Ice, humanity can get another Herrscher for free."

"You've managed to take care of the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Herrscher of Rock, who are among the most troublesome characters in this era, just like that..."

"I don't know whether to be envious or worried... I hope that the Herrschers of the future will also be able to solve this problem so easily."

Sakura shook her head, confirming the target of the commission one last time—

"Protect the orbital elevator, rescue the members of the Snow Lotus Squad, and suppress the Herrscher of Rock who might act rashly if necessary. Does Miss Snow have any other requests?"

"If you ever see a certain purple-haired, purple-eyed Valkyrie who claims to be a savior or Lord Nine Heavens, please pass on this message for me—"

"I'll take the little cabbage she's been taking care of for the past few years and let her spend some time with her grandma."

"If she feels lonely, she can go and bother another one of me—"

"Ah, this..."

Chapter 326 Who wouldn't want to ride a missile like a skateboard?

"Is this Coral Island?"

Through the periscope, a mobile city consisting of four ring-shaped islands and a giant central island appeared on the screen.

"Is that pillar that reaches straight to the sky the Nebula Ladder mentioned in the flyer?"

Karen carefully examined the enormous tower on the central island. Having never seen anything like it before, the saint seemed quite excited, excitedly pulling Snow along and pointing at the screen...

"Ah, that's right... The Nebula Ladder, or the outer space orbital elevator, is currently 1500 meters high, and will be tens of thousands of meters high once it is fully completed."

"And on the day it is completely completed, this floating city on the sea will truly stop drifting, be completely fixed on the seabed, and become a frontier base for civilization to explore outer space."

Snow nodded, while the Tower of Babel in the picture seemed to be plotting something.

"It was so much better... Before, we could only sit on the ground, staring intently at the stars, afraid that we'd miss a few if we blinked even once..."

Are people almost able to climb into the sky and pick stars now?

Karen sighed, then began to examine the vehicle she was in...

"And this thing we're sitting on now, it can actually travel underwater... You call it a submarine, right?"

"That's right, a submarine..."

"Hey, hey, hey, Miss Deity, excuse me—we'd like to ask you a question, would you mind?"

Cangxuan and Danzhu squeezed into the discussion.

"please--"

"Why didn't we take a ship or a plane... instead of this... uh? strategic submarine that crept up here... and almost got close to that artificial coral island, without even calling the city's port management?"
