The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

If this is done, the only problem left is the power required to open the space wormhole, as well as the coordinates and anchor points of the target and starting points.

The Herrscher of Fire and the Sky Ranger used up all their strength to barely send the Hyperion, which was traveling through the Quantum Sea, back to the world where Li Shubai originally existed. Therefore, it was indeed a very difficult task for them to open a space wormhole between two different parallel worlds.

But what if it is through the quantum sea?

With the precise control of power, although the Hyperion he owned could connect the ship with the world where the crew was, it could not directly open a space wormhole between the two worlds.

But what if we let the Hyperion find their location in the Quantum Sea first, and then let the Herrscher of the Fire and the Sky Ranger teleport the Hyperion in the Quantum Sea to the target world?

In this way, not only can the time limit problem that is inevitable in time travel be solved once and for all, but the power of each world can also be truly integrated.

After pondering for a moment, Li Shubai decisively controlled Hyperion to rush towards the Atlantic Ocean.

For some reason, he always felt that things might not develop as smoothly as he imagined.

Chapter 4: Ai-chan Loaded into the Thousand Worlds (k)

Eigenworld, January 2014, 1, 9: noon.

In the central control room of the Second God's Key, Thousand Worlds One, Wilvi's ten fingers bounced quickly on the operating console covered with obscure words. The entire control room was filled with the sound of keys being tapped at high speed. Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein stood up straight and surrounded Wilvi in ​​silence. The two doctors had serious expressions, staring at the screen with rapidly flashing data streams for fear of missing any operation.

Behind these two doctors who could understand Vivi's operations, a group of people were surrounding them with confused looks on their faces.

Their expressions were as if they were reading a mysterious book.

"Done. With this, Hyperion's onboard AI has been successfully transferred to the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle."

As Vilvi pressed the last button, the screen flashing with data streams suddenly fell into darkness, and the warning lights in the main control room all lit up. The consciousness of the artificial intelligence turned into a huge data stream and poured into the supercomputer controlling the Second God's Key. All the indicator lights flashed at an extremely high frequency, informing the operator that his performance had been squeezed to the limit.

The next moment, dots of fluorescent light gathered in the air like flying snowflakes. The light focused and changed color, and finally condensed into the figure of a cabbage-head girl.

Cabbage Head opened his eyes, and then... began to shake with confusion, making people feel like he would faint to the ground in the next moment.

"Ugh, I feel... I feel dizzy..."

"Hmm?" Wei Wei was stunned for a moment when she saw the dizzy look on Little Cabbage Head. "Hiss... this shouldn't be the case? I have tried my best to load your personality into the main control system of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle in a compatible mode. Why can't you adapt to this vehicle? Is the Second God Key still too stressful for you?"

"...Ai-chan, do you feel uncomfortable?" Theresa asked cautiously, "If you feel unbearable, why don't we transfer it back to our Hyperion first? Maybe we can find other ways."

"No, it's okay, Boss..." Cabbage Head said, shaking his head, "I... I just can't get used to this... this strange perspective for a while... Once the data is completely migrated, everything will return to normal."

"The perspective of artificial intelligence from the perspective of the vehicle... It really makes me feel a little curious." Weiwei stared at Xiao Baocai who was carefully reading all the information of the Second God Key with bright eyes, like a glutton who saw delicious food and was full of expectations. "Unfortunately, if time permits, I really want to take you apart and study you carefully."

"You...what do you want to do?!" Bao Caitou shuddered all over, feeling an indescribable chill suddenly surging into the central system from the outside.

"My dear Wilwei, please don't scare our lovely Ai-chan to tears." Alicia [Miss Pink Fairy] patted Wilwei's shoulder angrily, then smiled at the shivering Cabbage Head in the air, "Don't worry, she's just joking."

"Yes, yes." Alicia [Herrscher of Man] immediately echoed her other self's words, "She couldn't bear to tear apart such a lovely Ai-chan, don't you think so? My dear Vivi?"

"..." Looking at the two Alicias chattering in Weiwei's ears, Kevin and Su looked at each other expressionlessly, and the corners of their eyes twitched at the same time.

If a woman is equivalent to a thousand ducks, then as a hero among women, Alicia alone should be equivalent to five-digit ducks.

When Alicia multiplies to two, the number of ducks... will increase exponentially.

From the perspective of their companions, both Su and Kevin acknowledged Alicia's reliability and trustworthiness, and they both regarded Miss Fairy as a comrade to whom they could entrust their lives. Therefore, they both expressed a considerable degree of gratitude to Captain Li Shubai, whom they had not met until now.

But if they were asked to stay with Alicia every day when they were not fighting, then they would definitely decline the offer.

Although they missed Alicia's nagging, after all... it was still a little too noisy.

Compared to Kevin and Su, two former heroes of the civilization who have always regarded Alicia as a comrade-in-arms since 50,000 years ago, Walter Yang's mood is more subtle.

Yesterday at noon, after the Herrscher of Fire, the Herrscher of Thunder and the Secondary Silver Wing were suddenly teleported away, the little girl named Guanxing made a decision on the spot.

They borrowed the Hyperion from the Far East Branch, transferred its onboard AI, and then tried to load her into the Second God's Key.

To be honest, when Walter Yang heard Guanxing's decision, he was confused.

Not to mention that the whereabouts of the Second God Key is still unknown. Even if they found the Second God Key, they would not be able to find the user of the Second God Key in a short period of time.

Even as a Ruler of Reason, he could not guarantee that he could quickly master the use of the Key of God.

Then... these visitors from other worlds made him realize that there are always people better than you.

"Loading Hyperion's artificial intelligence into the Second God Key? Of course there's no problem."

"You guys probably want to find the captain who's wandering around in another world, right? It just so happens that I have a lot of questions that I want to ask the captain."

"For example... what kind of means did he use to force me to be brought to this ship when I should have died soon? Come to think of it, my situation should not be an isolated case, right?"

"After all, when we arrived at the reception room, besides me, there were also Alicia and little Grayshu."

So, facing the creator of the Second God's Key, Velvet, one of the greatest engineers and scientists of the previous civilization, Walter Yang's doubts were instantly aborted.

Transferring Ai-chan's data to the Second God Key was a huge project. Although Velvet's attainments in programming were invincible, it was her first time to truly touch the Hyperion. Even this genius at the top of the previous civilization could hardly transfer Ai-chan from the Hyperion to the Second God Key in one day.

In order to make up for the shortage of manpower, Theresa found the crosstalk duo who were still imprisoned in Saint Freya, and after expressing her request, she received an immediate answer of approval.

Although they did not fully understand the current situation, to be honest, when Theresa came to them, Einstein and Tesla almost thought that this little dwarf was playing a trick on them. But for the two researchers who stood at the top of the current civilization era, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have the opportunity to communicate and cooperate with the top scientists of the previous civilization era.

With the collaboration of Velvet, Tesla and Einstein, Ai-chan finally succeeded in becoming the onboard Ai of the Thousand Worlds One, and correspondingly obtained the ability to observe parallel worlds from the Second God's Key.

——The reason why she fell into a dizzy state the moment she was activated was because her vision and sense of touch were expanded to several levels, and she obtained too much complicated information about the parallel world and was unable to process it all at once.

Einstein looked around. The main control room of the Second God's Key was not very spacious. Except for Kevin and Su who had been on standby here since the moment they returned to the real world, most of the heroes and herders belonging to the [Hyperion] sailing in the quantum sea came here.

Among these Herrschers and Heroes, the one that surprised the two anti-entropy doctors the most was probably Bronya [Herscher of Reason], who had been assisting the three of them in this project.

Thinking of this, Einstein looked deeply at Bronya [Hersher of Reason] with an inexplicable gaze, and then quickly exchanged a glance with Tesla who was standing next to him.

The two doctors nodded slightly. After a day of joint work, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla both saw extremely strong traces of [themselves] on Bronya [Hersher of Reason]'s hands.

Obviously, Bronya, who claimed to have inherited the Herrscher core from Walter Young at some point in the future, had also received teachings and inheritance from both of them in addition to the Herrscher of Reason's inheritance.

No matter how hard they tried to believe it, the two doctors finally faced the reality.

Not long ago, in the underground area of ​​the Central Cathedral, the two of them had met the boy who was loved by the Second Herrscher Silin. He did have some means of interfering with time and parallel worlds.

Compared to the [entrance] they discovered in the base in Haiyuan City, this captain who can freely travel between different worlds and time periods is the key figure who is more likely to permanently end the Honkai Impact.

"Ai-chan, can you use the Second God Key's parallel space observation system to contact the Hyperion in the world where the captain is currently?" Theresa said, "I heard from Stargazer that the last time the consciousness mapping system was used to temporarily replace Kiana on our side, but the spatial coordinates were forgotten, the [Hersler of the Fire] should have followed the instructions of the other me and placed a spatial coordinate on her body that can be detected by the Hyperion at any time. After Velvi loaded you into the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, she also loaded the coordinates into your database, right?"

"I'll give it a try, Boss." Floating in the air, Cabbage Head placed his index fingers on his temples, his eyes closed, "Space coordinates... Space coordinates... Found it!"

"Reading spatial position... wireless signal acquisition completed!"

"Boss! Ai-chan has successfully contacted Ai-chan from that world! Do you want to access the communication band immediately?"

"So fast?" Theresa was stunned, then nodded quickly, "Hurry up and connect to the communication channel!"

"Communication channel accessing... um... weird?"

"What's wrong?" Theresa asked.

"Ai-chan in that world...seems to have fallen into a state of silence." Cabbage Head tilted his head and hesitated as he considered the words he described. "It seems that because of the invasion of a difficult-to-fight virus, it has activated the maximum self-protection mechanism?"

"Whether the onboard AI is silent or not should be different from whether the Hyperion's own shipboard system is still functioning normally, right?" Wei Wei said, "Why don't you try to mobilize the other party's monitoring module first to see the scene inside the ship? If the firewall is opened to the maximum specification because of a virus invasion, the other party's captain should not be able to fail to notice it."

"That makes sense. Ai-chan, I'll show you the other party's surveillance footage right now."

——On the other side, the Hyperion was crossing the African plate and sailing rapidly towards the Atlantic Ocean.

An indescribable silence enveloped the entire conference room.

After completely controlling the Hyperion, Li Shubai temporarily locked Theresa and the others in the largest conference room.

Mei Raiden, who had regained consciousness, sat silently at the edge of the conference room, her head lowered, making it difficult for people to see her expression clearly. Bronya silently tapped on the floating virtual keyboard in front of her, trying to regain control of the Hyperion in her own way, but of course she returned in vain. Theresa stood on the golden cross at the edge of the conference room, touching its surface with her palm, her eyes closed, trying to drive this constraint key that was much more powerful than her own Judas.

Dr. Tesla pressed his forehead, probably trying to figure out whether he had a cold or a fever, or if he was hallucinating.

Only Dr. Einstein looked calm. He leisurely took a sip of the coffee that Rita had just made for everyone, and then nodded slightly to express his recognition and gratitude for Rita's skills.

"Chicken-coated, how can you still drink?!" Dr. Tesla, perhaps because he found it hard to accept seeing Einstein so relaxed and contented, fiercely broke the silence around him, "When have we ever fallen to this point? Didn't you hear what that bastard is planning? If this continues, the portal to the Eye of the Abyss will really be opened by them! Aren't you going to do anything?"

Einstein calmly glanced at Tesla, who was full of irritation, and suddenly smiled: "You have also seen the strength of the other party. With the help of a top hacker who knows our details, do you think we can find the other party's loopholes?"

Bronya paused her fingers tapping the keyboard. She lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, and said in a depressed tone: "I'm sorry, Doctor, Bronya... I disappoint you."

Chapter 4: Sudden Access to Communications (k)

"What does this have to do with you?" Although it was a comforting word, Tesla's tone was still as irritable as ever. She gritted her teeth and acted as if she wanted to eat the person she was talking about alive. "Isn't it the one who claimed to be your grown-up who caused this?! If she hadn't stood by that perverted man, how could we have lost so helplessly?"

"Dr. Tesla, if you don't know how to speak, you might as well be quiet for a while." Einstein supported his forehead and said expressionlessly, "Please rest assured that no one present will mistake you for a mute."

"Huh? You idiot! You're still going against me at this time?" Tesla glared and roared, "Does what I said have any meaning..."

Halfway through her yelling, she realized something was wrong, because as she yelled, Bronya's expression became more and more annoyed, so she quickly lowered her voice and said in a tone that was already quite gentle for her: "Don't get me wrong, Bronya, I'm not yelling at you, I'm talking about the grown-up you - bah bah bah! What grown-up you!? There is no evidence to prove that they are definitely from the future!"

There were two reasons why Bronya was so depressed. The first was the frustration she felt when she was defeated without a doubt by her opponent in the battle of hacking skills. The second was, of course, because of the plump woman who helped the robbers who kidnapped Kiana... Her true identity was most likely [Bronya] from the future.

If it weren't for the help of the plump woman who looked like an adult Bronya, the kidnappers who kidnapped Kiana would not have been able to lock on to this location so quickly and complete a series of subsequent events such as easily cracking the firewall system of the helical mothership, usurping Hyperion's highest authority, and unscrupulously plundering confidential files that originally belonged to Anti-Entropy from the database.

Although the kidnappers who kidnapped Kiana brought Yulandel and Rita to Hyperion and locked them in this conference room without any communication, even if there was no conversation, it was not difficult to follow the kidnapper, the Herrscher of Flame and the Herrscher of Lightning who had exactly the same appearance as Kiana and Mei Raiden, and then infer her true identity from the Secondary Silver Wing's appearance which was 80% similar to Bronya.

Bronya really couldn't understand or accept the fact that Kiana, Mei Raiden, and herself from the future would choose to help an outsider to deal with them.

Not only Bronya who was still trying to reverse invade Hyperion, but also Raiden Mei, who had been silent since she woke up, seemed to be feeling very sad and guilty because of similar things.

Of course, although Mei Raiden and Bronya herself find it difficult to accept such things, no matter how hot-tempered Dr. Tesla is, he is not an unreasonable person.

Rather, in most cases, she seemed to have a bad temper not because she was unreasonable. On the contrary, it was because she was too reasonable and knew too many things, so she could easily become impatient with people who could not understand the facts.

She could clearly realize that no matter how similar they looked, the Herrscher of Lightning and the Second Silver Wing standing next to the kidnapper were not the same individuals as the Raiden Mei and Bronya they knew, so naturally she would not arbitrarily vent her anger on her companions because of their behavior.

"As Dr. Tesla said, from the common sense we know, as long as the world is still governed by the normal laws of physics, then so-called time travel is impossible." Einstein said calmly, "So, Bronya, and Mei, you don't need to regard those people who appear next to that boy as your future selves."

"I understand, Dr. Einstein." Mei Raiden raised her head, and to everyone's surprise, her deep dark pupils did not seem to reflect much depression and self-blame, but instead revealed a kind of inexplicable relief and understanding.

Mei Raiden sighed softly: "But... if that [Kiana] over there... is really what we think, then whether they are us or not... doesn't seem to be an important question anymore."

"..." After hearing Mei Raiden's words, everyone stopped what they were doing. Bronya stopped trying to continue the useless invasion operation, Theresa stopped trying to control the binding key that took away most of their power, and even the usually irritable Dr. Tesla suddenly became motionless.

There was a look of confusion in everyone's eyes. It was not because they didn't understand what Mei Raiden was saying, but because everyone understood the implication of Mei Raiden's words that they couldn't help but feel lost.

Through the brief confrontation that had just taken place on the outskirts of Sky City, regardless of time travel and the like, each of them had indeed seen the two Herrschers wielding their powers with ease without losing their rationality and humanity.

Even if they chose to help the boy complete the series of actions from kidnapping Kiana to seizing the Hyperion, the rationality and calmness shown by the two Herrschers made it difficult for them to associate them with the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, whom they had faced before.

"...Indeed." After a long silence, Einstein finally broke the silence. "If the two Herrschers who followed that boy have somehow managed to retain their humanity and reason, then it doesn't matter whether they are Kiana and Raiden Mei from the future... What's important is that, in terms of both results and means, their understanding of Honkai and their corresponding methods of fighting are already far ahead of us. Under such circumstances... it is a safer option for Kiana, who is still under the influence of the Herrscher consciousness, to follow them."

“But even if that’s the case, how can you guarantee that the boy they followed has no ill will towards this world, or even towards human civilization?” Dr. Tesla crossed his arms and frowned, “Maybe that boy is the agent sent by the so-called Honkai consciousness to destroy human civilization? The rational attitude shown by the two Herrschers cannot be used as evidence that they have humanity!”

"If Dr. Tesla really wants to know the answer to this question, why doesn't he ask it himself?" Einstein said in a calm tone.

"Huh? That pervert has locked us all up here! How am I supposed to ask him if he doesn't come to see us?" Tesla asked back in a tough tone.

"Dr. Einstein, a friendly reminder again." Einstein pointed to the door of the conference room. "Although the door is indeed closed, it is not locked. In other words, as long as Dr. Tesla wants, you can leave here at any time."

“???” After hearing Einstein’s calm tone as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with them and saying something quite outrageous as if nothing had happened, everyone present, including Dr. Tesla, was stunned.

"Wait, this door is not locked?" Theresa quickly stepped on her short legs and walked from the side of the cross to the door of the conference room, then stretched out her hand and pushed -

——Without any surprises or obstacles, the door opened smoothly amidst the surprised looks of everyone in the conference room except Dr. Einstein.

Tesla stared at the open door in amazement and asked stupidly, "Chicken Coop Head, when did you find out that the door was not locked?"

"Rather, I'm confused. The boy didn't lock the door from the outside after closing it. Why did all of you assume that the door must be locked?" Einstein said calmly. "When they led us to the meeting room and left, there was no sound of the door being locked."

"...Then why didn't you tell us earlier?" Dr. Tesla had a strong feeling that she was being fooled. She turned her head and glared at Einstein, who looked calm. "Does it make you feel happy to see us being fooled by that boy like this?!"

"First, please don't use the word 'we' which can easily lead to misunderstanding. Only Dr. Tesla would think he was fooled." Einstein glanced at Tesla and then quickly looked away. "Second, even if the door of the conference room is not locked, the fact that we are imprisoned does not change if the restraining key continues to control us."

After hearing Einstein's words, Theresa took a tentative step out of the conference room. After testing the strength in her body, she nodded heavily. "...Indeed, although this Judas's Oath did not completely take away our ability to move, and did not even cause us any harm, even after leaving the conference room, my strength was limited to that of an ordinary person."

After saying that, Theresa raised her head and looked at Yulandel and Rita who were brought here like them: "You two...should be the same as me, right?"

"Lady Theresa, why do you ask when you already know the answer?" Rita spread her hands innocently. "Although we are the current S-class Valkyries, Lady Yulandel and I are just like you. We can't find any way to deal with the binding key that continues to work."

Yulandel glanced at the golden cross that was fanned out and said nothing.

But at this moment, something happened that no one expected.

The conference room broadcast sounded without warning.

“Hey, hey, hey! Can you hear me? I sound like someone is locked in a conference room! Repeat, can you hear me?”

Along with the sound of buttons being pressed one after another, a rather exaggerated voice full of desire to perform suddenly came from the broadcasting system standing on the ceiling of the conference room, just like a magician performing on stage.

"Please respond if you can hear me! Huh? There seems to be no response, Ai-chan, are you sure we have connected to their communication channel?" said the exaggerated voice.
