A journey into an infinite dimension

"Ok?"

Even Jia Ye couldn't help feeling a little surprised at Joyce's sudden words.

Although it can be said that 'it's been a long time since we last met', that is only for Jiaye. As for Joyce, the two of them should have never had any contact, right?

After all, the fact that Jiaye had just arrived in this world and met Joyce during the first collapse and all traces of that had been modified by the will of collapse had been erased.

"When we first met, thanks to the hints you planted in my heart, I didn't die completely. Instead, I continue to live on in the Herrscher's core as a lingering consciousness, just like I am now."

With a slight smile, Joyce raised his hand, and a syringe appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Not 'taking out', but 'creating'.

This is the ability of the Herrscher of Reason, and it is also the power that the amnesiac Walter discovered from the Herrscher core hidden in his body under the guidance of Jiaye.

The syringe was the first thing he created after mastering this power, because Jiaye used it to draw his blood.

The fact that he chose to create this syringe at this moment was undoubtedly because he still remembered what happened when he met Jiaye during the first collapse.

But the Honkai Will clearly said that she had changed everything, so why?

"So, do you remember the deal we made?"

Having roughly guessed what the situation was, Jia Ye still spoke up to make a final confirmation just in case.

"Of course I remember. You taught me the knowledge that could save me, and I promised to do something for you in the future."

Although he didn't understand why Yu Jiaye brought up this matter at this time, Joyce's good nature made him answer him truthfully.

Sure enough?

After hearing his answer, Jia Ye was completely certain of the current situation.

What the Will of Collapse said at the time was to "modify" the impact caused by Jiaye before the second Collapse, rather than "erase" it. What was modified was the fact that "Joyce survived the second Collapse" and the content of the transaction between the two.

In other words, if Jiaye had not appeared, Joyce would have died during the first collapse, but in fact he did not die. This was one of the effects of Jiaye's existence, so it was modified.

At the same time, the reason why the content of the transaction was changed was probably because the power that Jiaye displayed at that time did not belong to this world, and the level of knowledge he gave to Joyce was a little too beyond this world.

"Okay, let's do it again."

Since Joyce still remembered him, Jiaye didn't need to treat him as a stranger, although their relationship was not that close.

"Long time no see, Joyce. By the way, my name is Kisaragi Kayo."

"After all these years, I finally know your name."

Smiling helplessly, Joyce relaxed a little as he looked at Jia Ye, who hadn't changed at all compared to before.

Originally, when Jiaye said "first meeting", he felt a little sad, thinking that he had forgotten him.

After all, he was the first person I met when I woke up, and he helped me so much later on.

"Jiaye, please stop attacking humans. Humans are not as hopeless as you think."

Then Joyce's face became serious and he spoke to Jia Ye seriously.

“There are many good people in this world.”

It seems that Joyce thought that Jiaye also awakened to become a Herrscher in despair after experiencing persecution from humans, but Jiaye was happy to let him misunderstand.

"There are a lot of good people, and the ratio to bad people is probably 99% to 1%."

Shrugging, Jia Ye smiled calmly.

"To borrow a famous saying: There may be a few delicious grains of rice in a bowl of unpalatable rice, but that doesn't stop me from throwing away the whole bowl and cooking a new one."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Joyce fell silent.

Over the years in the Herrscher Core, he had personally witnessed the various darknesses that Walter Young had experienced, especially in the early days of Anti-Entropy.

Later, there were always various things that could reveal the malice and filth of human beings, so he had no way of saying "Everyone in the world is a good person."

Maybe he is lucky and only meets good people, but that may not be the case for others.

Lucky people are not qualified to judge unfortunate people, so neither of them has experienced the other's situation, so it is impossible to understand the other's feelings.

However, precisely because she was lucky enough to meet those good people, Joyce was unwilling to let them be buried with those evil people.

"But it's a shame to throw away all the delicious rice. Besides, there's no guarantee that the rice you cook again will be delicious."

Joyce also used the reference proposed by Jiaye to express his own ideas, and looked at Jiaye firmly.

"...It seems we have different opinions. Let me see your resolve then."

After staring quietly at Joyce's eyes for a while, Jia Ye suddenly smiled.

"Are you interested in making a new deal?"

"What deal?"

Joyce asked calmly.

"I will return your core to Anti-Entropy, and then you must defeat me in the next game. As a Ruler of Humanity, you must prove to me the value of human existence."

He made a classic villain speech, and at this moment Jiaye's calm and calm appearance also had the temperament of a high-class villain.

However, usually in various works, this kind of villain who likes to cultivate enemies will eventually be defeated by the protagonist he supports. The reason is simply because he is not the protagonist, and the protagonist is the most favored existence in a work.

So, will Jia Ye also suffer the same fate? No one knows. After all, reality is not a novel. No one is the protagonist, and no one is not the protagonist of their own life.

"Since we're familiar with each other, I'll give you a hint: there are fourteen games between us and humans, and you've already completed two."

"The outcome of each game is unimportant. All humans need to do is persevere until all games are over and prove the value of the continued existence of human civilization. This is also the mission of us Herrschers."

"This isn't a game between us and humans, but between the gods, Honkai, and human civilization. Therefore, Xilin will continue to abide by the rules of the game, and it's not yet time for me to take the stage."

Looking at Joyce, whose expression became increasingly serious and solemn with each of his words, Jia Ye's figure began to become increasingly illusory, as if he would disappear from this space at any moment.

"By the way, you've already lost a game. Although the outcome of each game is unimportant, if humans no longer have the ability to resist, then the game will end immediately."

"I look forward to your performance, Walter, human."

Chapter 98: Innocent Fish Suffer

"Jia Ye is such a bad boy, he actually used my name to deceive people."

His consciousness broke away from the core of the Ruler of Reason. Looking at the stunning girl in front of him who did not exist at first but suddenly appeared at some point, Jia Ye did not show any surprise, not even any astonishment.

"Because the game with you took too long, and my layout was almost ready, I had nothing else to do but to make some changes to the script."

Jiaye hates trouble, but if the pleasure brought by something outweighs the trouble, Jiaye will not define that thing as trouble. This is his character.

"Besides, you acquiesced to this, didn't you?"

"So, it's actually my fault?"

With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly to Jiaye, then suddenly bent down and put his delicate and beautiful face close to Jiaye's face, and asked with a chuckle.

"Where's Ge Jiuye?"

He stepped lightly on the ground, using the force to push the wheels of the office chair he was sitting on to move backwards away from the Will of Honkai. Not wanting to dwell on this topic, Jiaye asked as if to change the subject.

"What a rascal, he actually mentioned another girl while accompanying one girl."

It seemed to look at Jia Ye with resentment, and then the Will of Honkai appeared in front of Jia Ye without warning, and gently sat on his thighs.

"I asked another avatar to play with that guy, so now this world belongs only to the two of us."

With his arms around Jiaye's neck, he blew a breath into Jiaye's ear seductively, and with an extremely charming smile, the Honkai Will whispered.

"By the way, I've isolated the space around us. That guy can't receive your information."

After saying that, Honkai Will stared at Jiaye's eyes with interest, as if trying to see if he would show any panic because of her words.

However, it did not go as she wished. Jia Ye's eyes were still as peaceful as ever, as if there were no other emotions in his emotional system.

"So, your target is indeed me, why?"

Looking at the Honkai Will, ignoring the wonderful feeling coming from his arms and thighs that made his heart ripple, Jia Ye asked softly.

"I don't seem to possess anything worthy of your covetousness. If it's not Ge Jiuye, could it be these eyes?"

"You think too cheaply of yourself, and I don't like that."

The slender fingers gently stroked Jiaye's cheek, and the movement of Honkai Will was very gentle, as if he was treating his lover, or as if he was caressing some precious treasure.

"Gaya, you are priceless. Everything about you is priceless. But what I value is not anything else, but you."

"Is it 'Kayaki no Kagaya'?"

"Whether you are 'Kaya Kisaragi' or 'Tsukiyomi'; whether you are 'Hyuga' or 'Kaguya', you are still you."

"Then why do you fancy me? I'm just a weakling who is countless times weaker than you, right?"

I always feel that there seems to be a lot of information hidden in this sentence of Honkai Will, but Jiaye doesn't have that much time to think about it, so he can only put it behind him for the time being and ask the biggest question in his mind.

Yes, the Will of Honkai is clearly an existence so powerful that it is beyond description in words. Why would it fall for such an ordinary magician like him?

Although in fact, Jiaye, who has the strength comparable to the Will of Honkai and the source of this strength is the accumulation of all previous lives, does have the qualifications to stand on the same level as the Will of Honkai, but the person who possesses that power is Ge Jiuye after all, not Jiaye. Even if the two are actually the same person, from the moment Ge Jiuye has her own consciousness and name, she can be both 'Jiaye' and 'Ge Jiuye'.

Therefore, if the Honkai Will just wanted to find an existence that could be equal to her, then she should have set her sights on Ge Jiuye, not Jiaye.

"This matter is a secret."

Gently placing his index finger in front of the tempting cherry lips, Honkai Will playfully closed one eye and smiled.

"Even though that's what I said, it's just a secret that can't be told for now. You'll know it later, Jiaye. Don't worry."

"By the way, I know you love to make wild guesses, so just relax your brain this time. You absolutely can't guess the truth right now, so all your guesses will be wrong."

Originally, he thought that he could learn some things through this opportunity. However, now, Jia Ye feels that not only have his questions not been answered, but they have become more and more.

Although the Honkai Will always said that she would know it later, Jia Ye wanted to find the answer now rather than later, and he didn't know whether what she said was true or false.

However, looking at her attitude, Jia Ye knew that even if he continued to ask, he would not get any useful answers, so he could only choose to give up temporarily.

"Okay, then let me ask you another question. You cut off my connection with Ge Jiuye. Do you want to do something to me?"

"Yes, what do you want me to do to you, or what do you want me to do to you~"

With a blink of an eye, the smile on Honkai Will's mouth became charming again.

"How about being beaten by an angry 'me'?"

After saying these words that made Honkai Will look puzzled, Jiaye gestured in the direction behind her with an expressionless face.

"?"

He turned his head with a puzzled expression, and what caught the eyes of Honkai Will was a delicate fist that was gradually enlarging at a speed of one trillionth of an infinite amount.

She subconsciously wanted to dodge away, but in this brief moment that could not be described in any words, the Honkai Will instinctively considered that if she dodged, then Jiaye who was behind her would definitely not be able to withstand such an attack. So she stopped avoiding it and took the initiative to face this attack of the same level that came too suddenly and there was not enough time to deal with it. She planned to use her body as a shield to block all the aftermath for Jiaye.

Anyway, it's just an incarnation. Although it hurts a bit, it's fine as long as Jiaye can be saved.

At the same time, her real body was on the way over, and the timing was just after this incarnation was blown up, so she would definitely not give this sneak attacker any chance to hurt Jiaye.

"Humph!"

A cold snort sounded, and the pain and impact that the Honkai Will had expected did not come. At the same time, she could still feel the existence of her incarnation, so she could rule out the possibility that the other party was too strong and could kill her incarnation before she could react.

The familiar voice immediately made the Honkai Will realize who the attacker was, so her real body that came from "██" immediately stopped entering this world.

Just as one-dimensional space cannot accommodate two-dimensional or higher-dimensional beings that have not undergone dimensionality reduction, if a high-dimensional creature forcibly enters a low-dimensional space without actively reducing its dimensionality, there are only two possibilities:

1. High-dimensional existence is weaker than one-dimensional space, so it is forced to be reduced in dimension by one-dimensional space

Second, higher-dimensional existence is more powerful than one-dimensional space, so it overwhelms one-dimensional space.

The first possibility is nothing more than that the so-called "traveler" does not have the power to travel through time, but is sent into the low-dimensional space involuntarily, and is still unaware of the dimensionality reduction and is still complacent.

Because those who can usually travel through dimensions on their own will not be affected by the forces of lower dimensions.

The entity of the Honkai Will belongs to the second type. Previously, she was busy protecting Jiaye and didn't care about other things. She was also confident that she could protect Jiaye in the event of dimensional collapse, so she rushed here as quickly as possible. But now that she has realized it, there is no need to destroy this rare world where she can watch Jiaye being active.

"You scumbag, you actually dared to lie to me and even sneak up on Jiaye when I wasn't around."

Retracting his fist from the stunning face of Honkai Will, Ge Jiuye put one hand on his waist, his red eyes already filled with murderous intent that was difficult to conceal.

No matter what the reason was, the actions of the Honkai Will had touched Ge Jiuye's bottom line. If it weren't for her actions just now, Ge Jiuye would have buried her incarnation along with her original body outside the world.

But this does not mean that the matter will end like this.

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I don't mind making sure you never find Jiaye again."
