The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

"Don't want to?" Ai Yi blushed and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Seeing Ai Yi's expression that had almost made it clear what they needed to do next, Li Shubai was a little dumbfounded: "No, isn't it a question of willingness? Although I know there are indeed routines of doing that kind of thing to make up for something, I just want to get my previous memories back, right? I don't want to make up for my magic!"

"But the problem is, the captain's past memories are in my mind?" Ai Yi said shyly, "If the captain wants to retrieve your past memories, he must enter my spiritual world."

"But aren't you the shipborne AI?" Li Shubai asked back without giving up, "Your spiritual world should be a data space similar to the paradise of the past life, right?"

"That's right, but..."

"Just what?" Li Shubai leaned his head closer and asked.

"Theoretically...theoretically speaking, if the captain and I can completely trust each other, then only that method will have the highest success rate..." Ai Yi lowered her head, and her voice was so soft that Li Shubai could hardly hear it.

Li Shubai was silent.

After a long silence, he covered his face and sighed, "So... this is why you asked me to capture you?"

Ai Yi didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

Li Shubai took his hand away from his face. He glanced at the empty wine glass on the table and felt as if he had been completely tricked. "Did you prepare like this from the beginning?"

Ai Yi nodded again: "If...if the captain drank alcohol..."

Ai closed her mouth halfway through her words and lowered her already lowered head even lower, almost burying it in those majestic round breasts.

In fact, Ai Yi never told Li Shubai even a lie from the beginning.

She is Li Shubai's Valkyrie and the shipboard AI of the Hyperion; as the heroine of this game, from the perspective of the game setting, she herself cannot show the strategy panel to Li Shubai, but at the same time, Ai Yi has indeed concealed some things from Li Shubai.

For example... while guiding Li Shubai step by step on how to conquer her, Ai Yi herself was also trying to conquer Li Shubai with her own ideas.

She knew very well how to gain Li Shubai's trust, although in most cases, her captain was a very cautious person. But as one of Li Shubai's Valkyries, Ai Yi also knew very well that as long as Li Shubai recognized her as his Valkyrie, then Li Shubai would trust them without reservation.

There is no doubt that Ai Yi's plan was successful, and as long as Li Shubai trusts her, the next things will be easy.

Just as the Valkyries on the Hyperion all have a certain degree of affection and love for the captain, the captain himself also has a very high degree of affection for each of his Valkyries - when Ai Yi thinks of the interaction between the captain and the Valkyries she saw on the Hyperion, she has an urge to laugh out loud.

Because they had been together for so long, when the Valkyries on the Hyperion heard Li Shubai shouting embarrassing words like "Rita is my wife!" and "I will always love the super invincible, super fucking cute Qibao!", basically all of them would just laugh it off as empty talk, and then turn around and continue to work hard to improve the captain's favor, trying to win the captain's true love in order to get a confession that was not just a joke.

In their eyes, the "like" in "The Captain likes every Valkyrie" is not true love. His boasting is just talk, and he does not really want them to be his wives.

So, although every Valkyrie was mentally prepared to give birth to a litter of babies for the captain, under this delicate balance, except for Yulandel who had just joined the Hyperion two days ago, and Silin and Lost Rosemary who escaped from the Hyperion, no Valkyrie had ever launched a real offensive against the captain.

Everyone thought the captain was just talking nonsense, but after the past captain saved his memories in Ai's mind, Ai understood -

The captain truly loves each and every one of these Valkyries from the bottom of his heart.

So Ai understood what kind of moves would be most effective against the captain.

Straight ball, straight ball, straight ball!

As long as I let the captain know that I like him, he will naturally accept me.

Moreover, as a shipboard AI, Ai Yi doesn't care if the captain likes other Valkyries. She is not a real human being and does not need to be bound by secular moral norms. For Ai Yi, as long as she knows that she likes the captain and the captain likes her, that is enough.

——Of course, if possible, Ai still hopes that her captain can use Senkai Ichijo's mistress less often.

Just when the atmosphere here was about to reach its peak, on the other side, in the intrinsic world.

When the successor of the current Ruler of Reason, the world-renowned Walter Yang, accepted Theresa's invitation after the first class in the morning and came to the three dormitories in the west area and opened the door, looking at the huge group of people, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, who had lived for more than half a century and claimed to have seen all kinds of big scenes, was stunned.

He kept the door open, looking at the three Theresas, three Yulandels, three Ritas, three Raiden Mei, two Kianas, two Bronyas (one big and one small), and one who he could tell at a glance was definitely a Herrscher [Fu Hua]. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes and closed the door again with a click.

"..." He was silent for a long while. He stood at the closed door and recalled the hell scroll he saw a second ago. In addition to the woman who looked like Fu Hua, there was also Raiden Mei who looked quite solemn and Kiana with a ponytail who barely concealed her terrifying aura as a Herrscher. Thinking of this, Lao Yang couldn't help rubbing his brows and smiled bitterly, "Am I too tired... How could such an outrageous hallucination appear?"

Walter Yang took a long, deep breath and shook his head to make his thoughts clearer in the cold winter wind. After making mental preparations, he opened the door of the dormitory again.

The scene inside didn't change at all, except that everyone in the living room turned their eyes towards the door.

"What are you doing standing at the door?" Theresa, the one in a nun's uniform, waved to Walter Yang who was standing outside the door, "Come in quickly, we have something to discuss with you."

"..." Feeling the various gazes, although he wanted to turn around and run, after hesitating for a long time, driven by the sense of responsibility to fight for humanity and the trust in Theresa, Walter Yang finally endured the chill that kept rising from his back and stepped into this dormitory that could destroy the world.

Chapter 4: The Herrscher of Thunder Recovers His Memory (k)

"Have you had breakfast?" Looking at Walter Yang's stiff steps, not knowing what he was thinking, Theresa moved an overcooked sandwich from the center of the coffee table, "Would you like to have a little?"

Walter Yang took a look at the ceramic plate that Theresa had pulled outside the coffee table, and his eyelids twitched.

He did not look at Theresa, but looked around in confusion. However, he still found nothing, and everyone's expression did not change, including the Herrschers.

So after hesitating for a moment, Walter Yang could only reveal an extremely stiff smile, and tremblingly sat down on the empty seat on the sofa. Although he had already eaten breakfast, it seemed that he had to accept this sandwich. He always felt that if he did not accept it, everyone would take out their weapons in an instant and surround him, the weak, pitiful and helpless Ruler of Reason.

By the way, this sandwich shouldn’t be poisonous, right…?

Even if the people in this dormitory really want to destroy the world, there may be few people who can stop them, so... they should not use such despicable means to plot against a mere non-native Ruler of Reason like me.

While comforting himself, Walter Yang made up his mind and took a bite of the sandwich.

Well, not only is it non-toxic, but it’s also surprisingly delicious.

"Have Cocolia and Einstein left?" Theresa asked.

"Not yet." After finishing the sandwich in no time, Walter Yang, who felt a little relieved, said lightly that he was rude and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "The two of them are still in my dormitory. Didn't you let Sora... Kiana use her ability to leave space coordinates on them last night? Even if they want to run, they will be caught by you soon, right?"

"Want to run...what do you mean?" Theresa tilted her head. "I don't think I've restricted your personal freedom, have I?"

"Uh..." Walter Yang was choked for a moment. He thought to himself that you did not explicitly say that you wanted to lock them up, but in this situation, how could he dare to simply let Cocolia and Einstein leave Saint Freya?

"Forget it. It's just right that he didn't leave." Theresa didn't dwell on this question too much, but chose to get straight to the point. "If I remember correctly, the prototype of the Moonlight Throne should be in your place, right?"

"The prototype of the Moonlight Throne?" Walter Yang threw the tissue into the trash can and pondered for a moment. "Why do you want that thing? It shouldn't be the stage to activate the Moonlight Throne plan yet, right?"

As the most powerful anti-Honkai weapon developed completely independently by the former civilization, the Moonlight Throne can undoubtedly affect and interfere with the Honkai. But one thing that cannot be ignored is that if the mass production plan of the Moonlight Throne is launched at this point in time, the outbreak of Honkai will also intensify.

The principle of the Moonlight Throne is to convert excess Honkai energy into heat energy. There is an upper limit to the Honkai energy it can convert. If the Moonlight Throne is built on a large scale, the outbreak of Honkai will become more intense and unpredictable.

The final failure of the pre-civilization era is a typical case. The Moonlight Throne technology did give the pre-civilization era the strongest countermeasure against the collapse, but at the same time, this overly powerful civilization technology also made the scale of the Herrscher of the End difficult to predict and calculate.

In the final battle of the previous civilization, according to Dr. Mei's original calculations, the effect that the Moonlight Throne can exert should be able to convert at least half of the Honkai energy in the Herrscher of the End into heat energy. With the help of this heat energy converted from Honkai energy, if Kevin can make a full-strength attack, it will not be impossible to surpass the Herrscher of the End.

However, the reality is that due to the existence of the Moonlight Throne, the energy level of the Herrscher of the End has also increased exponentially. If before this, the energy level of the Herrscher of the End calculated by Dr. Mei was only the sum of the first thirteen Herrschers, then after the Moonlight Throne project was launched, the amount of Honkai energy possessed by the Herrscher of the End... is more than twenty times the value that Dr. Mei had once estimated.

Using numerical values ​​to make a simple calculation, the minimum Honkai energy level required for a human to transform into a Herrscher is 1000 HW, and the energy level possessed by a fully awakened Herrscher of the Void is approximately three times that of an average Herrscher. Substituting these two numbers into the pre-civilization era and taking the average strength of the thirteen Herrschers of the past as the basis for calculation, the final Honkai energy strength of the Herrscher of the End should be around 50000 HW.

50000 hw should not be an unattainable number for the Moonlight Throne that was placed in the Earth-Moon orbit in the previous civilization era.

But the fact is... the Moonlight Throne at full power can only cause the Herrscher of the End to lose 2% of its Honkai energy. Even if it overclocked to twice the power at the cost of self-destruction, and even gave up the original plan to convert Honkai energy into heat energy, at the cost of weakening Kevin's strongest attack to a certain extent, it instead adopted a more efficient plan to force the Herrscher of the End to lose Honkai energy - the final result was still unsatisfactory.

Thirty percent of the Honkai energy in the Herrscher of the End was lost. Kevin's strongest attack successfully put the Herrscher of the End into a state of shutdown. But after that, without the effective means of harming the Herrscher of the End, this was all that the pre-civilization era could do.

Therefore, this is why, among the three plans of Stigmata, Hengsha and Ark formulated in the pre-civilization era, the Moonlight Throne plan was the only one not included.

Because judging from the results, the Moonlight Throne Project, like the Fusion Warrior Technology, is a failed plan.

It is precisely because of this point that was inferred from the sporadic records that neither Anti-Entropy, who obtained the Moonlight Throne prototype, nor Otto, who possessed the Void Wanzang, the largest think tank of the previous civilization, had carried out any plans centered around the Moonlight Throne system.

The Moonlight Throne can be a secret weapon, or it can be used as a tool to weaken the Herrscher's ability, but this technology must never be regarded as the only hope.

"Of course I know that now is not the time to launch the Moonlight Throne Project, and I have no plans to use that thing at this point in time," said Theresa.

"Then why did you mention the Moonlight Throne to me...?" Walter Yang asked cautiously.

"It's simple. Just because we don't need it at this point in time doesn't mean we won't need it in the future." Theresa looked around. "Aren't you curious why there are so many identical people in this dormitory?"

"Is this question allowed?" Walter Yang said with a bitter face, and shook his head helplessly, "To be honest, the moment I stood at the door and looked into the house, I thought the world was about to be destroyed."

"Because there are so many Herrschers standing here?" Ji Zi spread her hands and laughed dryly. "Oh, that's a coincidence. When I just woke up and saw the scene in the living room, I had the same idea as you. But... compared to me, it seems that you are not qualified to think so, the famous Herrscher of Reason, Mr. Walter."

"Don't make fun of me, Ms. Jizi." Walter Yang laughed awkwardly and decisively decided to change the topic which was a little dangerous for him. "So, can you explain to me what's going on? Ms. Theresa?"

"Didn't I just tell you?" Theresa said calmly, "They are us from different times and different worlds now. To put it in a way that is easier for you to understand, they are us from the future."

"You in the future...?" Walter Yang chewed on this statement, then looked at the three people, Herrscher of Fire, Herrscher of Lightning, and Secondary Silver Wing, who were obviously more mature than Kiana, Mei Raiden, and Bronya in his knowledge. "Although it is a little hard to believe... but seeing your looks, it seems that I have no choice but to accept the reality? But what does this have to do with you asking me for the prototype of the Moonlight Throne?"

"It's very simple." Theresa pointed at the Herrscher of Fire and Fire and answered calmly, "Not long ago, in their world, Alicia and the captain had already suppressed the Herrscher of Corrosion."

"......?" After hearing Theresa's description, the first person who felt something was wrong was not Walter Yang, but the Herrscher of Thunder.

The Captain and Alicia have finished suppressing the Herrscher of Corrosion? The Herrscher of Thunder thought in confusion.

When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?

Of course, she knew about the Herrscher of Corrosion, and it was impossible for the Herrscher of Thunder to forget everything about the Paradise of the Past, but she clearly remembered that the Herrscher of Corrosion was clearly -

——Who defeated you?

Boom, headache.

As this question passed through his mind, a slight tingling sensation suddenly struck the Herrscher of Thunder's brain.

The stinging pain was not intense, not even painful. An average person might think it was just a psychological illusion.

But as a warrior who has experienced many battles, the Herrscher of Thunder can be sure that the feeling of something slightly cracking from the inside of the brain is definitely a real thing.

Is this - the shackles of memory?

When was her memory locked?

The Herrscher of Thunder, whose consciousness had been interfered with several times and she had fallen into a coma, quickly identified what it was. She frowned slightly, lowered her head, and began to carefully search for past memories in her mind.

Her mental resistance was not very high. Perhaps because of this, the memory shackles constructed by the captain in her mind were not very strong. Although they were not something that an ordinary Herrscher of Thunder could easily break through, however...it was not known whether it was because it had been a long time since her mind was shackled. In short, when she realized that there was something abnormal in her mind, the memory shackles had actually been weathered beyond recognition.

Using the power of conquest, the Herrscher of Thunder broke through the thin layer of memory shackles with almost no effort, and finally at this moment, recovered the memory that was concealed by the captain.

Then - a sharp arc of electricity flashed between her hair for an instant, and then immediately flashed out.

The Herrscher of Thunder, who almost lost control on the spot, took a deep breath, frowned deeply, and his expression became ugly.

Perhaps she sensed the abnormal energy that suddenly rose beside her, and Mei Raiden, who was sitting next to the Herrscher of Lightning, turned her head. After seeing her other self frowning and looking troubled, Mei Raiden asked with some concern: "Um, what's wrong with you?"

“…No.” After a long silence, the Herrscher of Thunder finally shook his head, his expression somehow becoming even gloomier. “Thank you for your concern. Nothing happened to me. I just noticed something that made me a little unhappy.”

"Something unpleasant happened...what is it?" Raiden Mei tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

"It's okay. I just felt a little unhappy when I suddenly realized that." Quite abruptly, a gentle smile bloomed on the face of the Herrscher of Lightning, as if the gloomy expression she showed a second ago was all an illusion of Raiden Mei. "Looking back and thinking about it carefully, for me now, that guy's unnecessary action may be considered a good thing."

You're right, Captain, you promised to keep my memory, but you still did something to her brain, Herrscher of Thunder said darkly.

At this moment, looking at the gentle smile of the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei almost thought she was seeing a mirror, and the face reflected in it was not someone else's, but her own face.

But at the same time, even though the Herrscher of Thunder showed a gentle smile that was exactly the same as her current self, an extremely strong chill inexplicably ran up Raiden Mei's back.

In her opinion, that smile contained an inexplicable horror...

"Really..." Looking at the gentle yet creepy smile on the Herrscher of Lightning's face, Raiden Mei swallowed and couldn't help but shrink her neck.

She laughed dryly, and while praying from the bottom of her heart to the person who made her look like that, she also decided not to continue asking questions: "Since it is a good thing for you, then I will not meddle in your business."

I don't know what kind of unscrupulous things the guy who offended the Herrscher of Thunder did to make another self who is much more mature than me hate him so much...

Chapter 4 Negotiation Master (laugh) Anti-Entropy Leader (k)

The conversation between Raiden Mei and the Herrscher of Thunder did not attract the attention of others. As for the reason -

"The Herrscher of Corrosion?"

The five words that suddenly came out of Theresa's mouth stunned everyone except the few people who knew the truth, including the Herrscher of Knowledge, the Herrscher of Fire, the Twilight Knight, and the Stargazer.

Although all Valkyries received the captain's notification of their upcoming deployment, Li Shubai had not yet synchronized the mission report to the Hyperion's internal system, so the details of this time travel were not recorded in the Hyperion's route log.

Apart from the participants of the mission, Herrscher of Consciousness and Yulandel; and the indigenous people of that world line, Herrscher of Fire and Herrscher of Thunder; as well as the acting captain, Twilight Knight, and Theresa and Guanxing who happened to be by her side when she was reading the first-hand information, what exactly Li Shubai did in this interference in future events is still unknown even to most of the Valkyries.

After Walter Yang was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrank suddenly. He turned his head and looked at the Herrscher of Fire with an extremely solemn look: "Herrscher of Corrosion... has descended to your world?"

"Yes." The Herrscher of Fire nodded without much hesitation.

But after answering Walter Yang's first question, she suddenly hesitated and glanced at the Herrscher of Thunder inconspicuously.

Although in principle, the Herrscher of Lightning and herself should be from the same world, the Herrscher of Fire and Fire still remembers very clearly that before the captain left their world, he still secretly made a move on Mei Raiden... who was not a member of the Kaslana clan like her... in the depths of her mind and consciousness.

The Herrscher of the Fire on the Hyperion was Kiana from that world from the very beginning. When Kiana unconsciously made the decision to abduct Li Shubai to that world, in Li Shubai's subconscious mind, Hyperion, which had originally allowed Kiana to become a crew member, naturally accepted her.

However, because Kiana and the Herrscher of the Flame are the same person, the moment the Hyperion actually teleported her onto the ship, the existence of the Herrscher of the Flame and Kiana naturally merged into one.

For the Herrscher of the Fire, the feeling of existence being united as one is quite wonderful, just like the memory that had gradually become blurred due to the passage of time, suddenly being able to see the light of day after suddenly reviewing the experiences of that period through photos and videos.

She was not sure whether the Herrscher of Thunder had the same feeling as her. Unlike the Herrscher of Fire and Flame, whose memory was not blocked but only temporarily buried, the Herrscher of Thunder's spirit was actually shackled by Li Shubai. But after hesitating for a moment, the Herrscher of Fire and Flame decisively sold out Li Shubai: "Just this morning, the captain used the Hyperion's event interference system to come to the world I am in now. She and Alicia joined forces with the World Serpent to solve the Herrscher of Corrosion in our world."

"World Serpent?" Walter Yang was a little confused. He frowned and pondered for a moment: "I remember... I seem to have heard of this religious organization from the Anti-Entropy Intelligence Department. How are they related to the Herrscher of Corrosion?"

"Of course it's because, like you, Anti-Entropy and Destiny, it is an organization whose purpose is to fight against the collapse." The Herrscher of Knowledge put her palm on the back of her head, her legs swaying on the edge of the coffee table, the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a hint of sarcasm, and there was no concealment of the mockery in her words, "Destiny is corrupt, Anti-Entropy is incompetent, and compared to you who are trapped by worldly affairs, the World Snake that inherited most of our legacy has indeed gone a lot further on the road to fighting the collapse - at least, compared to your two organizations that have never done their job, although the road has deviated a little, their goal is much clearer than yours."
