The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Prometheus made a sound of bewilderment.

Because the plan of this action had been discussed privately, Eden was already prepared. He quickly rushed to the bottom of the puppet girl and stretched out his arms, holding the puppet girl, who had suddenly turned from a virtual image into a real one, in his arms in a princess hug.

"Really?" Eden shook his head with a dumb smile, his graceful voice full of helplessness, "Dr. Mobius, you really don't know how to take care of other people's feelings as usual."

"..."

Although he wanted to ask what had happened, but when he recalled that he had been ridiculed by Mebius not long ago, Kevin hesitated for a moment and finally shut his mouth.

On the contrary, Su, after seeing the transformation from "virtual" to "real", opened his eyes slightly as if he was thinking about something.

"Is this the materialization of the spirit?" Su touched his chin and said softly, "No... Because it is an artificial intelligence life form, it should be a means of transforming 'information' into a physical entity?"

After saying that, Su suddenly turned his eyes toward the air - the place where Prometheus had just floated.

Just as he expected, although Prometheus's resting virtual image suddenly turned into a physical entity and fell from mid-air, the bright blue glow condensed in all directions did not disappear. Instead, it condensed into the image of a strange woman whom he did not recognize at all.

"As expected of a 'awakened one' regarded as a close friend by Kevin, you easily saw through the essence of my ability with just one glance." The white-haired woman floating in the air laughed softly, her laughter was elegant but distant, "As fellow spiritual perception warriors, the attainments you fusion warriors have achieved are really beyond our reach."

"Thank you." Su closed her eyes again, and a smile once again appeared on her beautiful face. "I didn't expect that before the Stigmata Project was launched, a concept like you would appear in this world. It seems that the 'time travel' that Mobius and the others talked about is probably true."

"Humph, are you willing to trust us completely only now?" Mobius snorted coldly, "I've already handed you the piece of 'Yu Du Chen', but you still haven't given us your full trust. How come I never realized that someone as naive as you could actually have so many tricks up their sleeves?"

"...No way." Su sighed softly, "Although Dr. MEI and you have made considerable efforts to hack into [End], none of us can guarantee that [End], which possesses all the powers of the Herrscher, will not take corresponding countermeasures to your actions. After all, for [End], who also possesses the power of [Consciousness] and has the support of imaginary numbers, both memory and senses can be modified at will."

"So, you completely believed all this only when you saw me?" the white-haired woman in the air asked curiously.

"Ah." Su nodded. "It is impossible for a forged memory to contain something that the person himself does not know about. I am sure that this is the first time I have seen someone like you."

"So..." After hesitating for a long time, Su couldn't help but ask, "In your era, the Stigmata Project... in the end, or has it already...?"

“Although I am what I am now, it is indeed due to the technical details of the Stigmata Project.” The white-haired woman shook her head, “But… from an ontological point of view, my birth does not have much to do with the Stigmata Project that Kevin wanted to implement.”

"I see..." Su murmured in a low voice, "Under unforeseen changes, a new type of stigmata that belonged only to them was born in that era 50,000 years later? And after the birth of this new type of stigmata, a stigmata holder in that civilization era, due to accidental factors, brought you, the natural 'idea', into this world."

"Excellent! You are worthy of being the hero with the name 'Tianhui'." The white-haired woman couldn't help but clapped her hands.

Kevin looked left and right, and suddenly had an extremely strong urge to scratch his head.

It was clear that he was the one who carried out the Stigmata Plan, but after hearing the conversation between Su and the white-haired woman, Kevin suddenly felt that he was the "outsider".

To him, the conversation between the two people was no different from the Book of Heaven.

Kevin's confusion is not difficult to understand... After the Stigmata Plan was formulated until the end of time, Kevin did not actually read the detailed plan of the Stigmata Plan carefully.

Unlike the "Riddler" 50,000 years later who "knew and mastered most of the truth, but in order to successfully implement the Stigmata Plan, he refused to tell others before executing it", Kevin today actually has no idea about the specific steps of the Stigmata Plan, nor does he understand the technical details of this plan.

"Wait..." Su hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, "Since you are an [idea] and have the ability to [transform information into entity], could it be that Mobius and Eden asked me to obtain all the information about [Earth] at this moment... in order to recreate the Earth?"

"You think too highly of me." The white-haired woman shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Cloning the Earth... I can't do something on this scale. I'd better leave the task of cloning the Earth to those Herrschers of Reason."

"As for my mission..."

The white-haired woman extended her hand in the direction of the five heroes.

Accompanied by a fluorescent light, in the blink of an eye, five identical hooded figures appeared in front of all the heroes present without any warning.

“What is this…?” Kevin casually glanced at the five figures and asked indifferently.

"As for the specific technical details of the Seeds of Ideas... let's explain them in detail after we complete all the tasks." The white-haired woman said, "You only need to know that after you follow us back to before the First Herrscher's advent, these Seeds of Ideas will be implanted into the [Cocoon] with the help of Prometheus. Although with my ability, I can't completely copy the [Ideas] of you heroes one-to-one, but for the [End] that resets time, as long as it can read [your] information, it can make you reappear in history."

"..."

Kevin and Su looked at each other, and Su said softly, "This means that even if we leave with you, it will not have any impact on what will happen next, right?"

"That's right." The white-haired woman nodded. "I'm not sure if Mobius and the others have explained this to you. Actually, according to our original plan, we were going to let Kevin and Sue from our timeline come to this time point together. Unfortunately... they have temporarily lost the ability to return to this era for different reasons."

"I know." Kevin said calmly, "So, I made my position clear and followed Mebius here."

"Then you should leave here first." The white-haired woman blinked her bright eyes, "If nothing unexpected happens, the captain should be waiting for you on the surface."

"...Captain?" Su asked subconsciously.

"It would be better if you ask him directly about his identity." The white-haired woman said, "Mobius and the others have already left. Are you still planning to stay here?"

"???" Kevin and Su turned their heads at the same time. They didn't know if it was because the continuous shocking facts had dulled their senses. With their perception abilities, they didn't even notice the footsteps that were not concealed at all.

The two grown men subconsciously turned around and tried to catch up, but were suddenly stopped by the white-haired woman: "Wait."

Sue and Kevin turned around and saw five adult-sized figures rushing towards them.

"Before you go out, take these seeds of ideals with you." The white-haired woman raised a teasing arc at the corner of her mouth. "In order to accommodate the maximum [information] of the five of you, these [seeds of ideals] will not be able to take the initiative before being read by the [cocoon]."

"However, I believe this difficulty will not cause any trouble to you two famous masters, right?"

"..."

Kevin and Su, who were covered with [Seeds of Ideas], looked at each other, then turned back to look at the corridor that was so narrow that only one person could pass through, and fell into deep silence at the same time.

Chapter 4: Bronya's Growth Exchange (k)

"They're almost here, uh...what's that position you two are in?"

When Su and Kevin struggled to squeeze out of the corridor that could collapse at any time, the two heroes, upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, simultaneously felt the urge to curse.

Fortunately, one of them had a gentle personality, and the other habitually remained indifferent in front of everyone except MEI, so the moment this impulse rushed to their chests, the two heroes easily suppressed it back into their hearts.

They put down the pile of idea seeds hanging on their bodies and then raised their heads.

Then, when they saw the huge ship coming into view, Kevin and Sue were stunned.

The reason they were stunned was not because of the Hyperion itself, but because at the tail of the Hyperion, the two of them saw a huge and deep space-time rift.

If Kevin saw it right, the other end of the space-time rift should be the place where he had just come down not long ago - that is, the moon. On the edge of the unfolding rift, there were two silver-haired girls and a man who was very familiar to all the Thirteen Heroes standing in a very regular pattern.

“The Herrscher of the End???” Even someone as calm as Su widened his eyes in astonishment after seeing this scene, “…and there are actually three of them???”

"Don't be surprised, it's just the end." A strange voice came from far away on the deck of the Hyperion.

Kevin and Su looked closely and saw a young boy standing on the top of the deck with a calm expression.

He crossed his arms across his chest, and an enchanting aura lingered all over his body.

Although Kevin and Su did not feel the power of [End] from the young man, just from the young man's calm attitude while standing next to the three Ends, these two heroes from the previous civilization era did not dare to look down on the young man.

"Sir, are you the captain of the Hyperion?"

Su took a step forward and stood in front of Kevin with his eyes open.

Obviously, in Su's judgment, facing this unknown girl, it would be better for him to come forward to negotiate with the other party rather than Kevin, who could talk down all topics within three sentences.

"Li Shubai." The young man nodded calmly, "As for you, there is no need for me to introduce myself. In a way, I may know you better than you know yourselves."

"I see." Su nodded, and a trace of worry suddenly flashed across his bright rainbow eyes. "Excuse me, but could you please tell me who is the 'End' who looks like Kevin..."

"Ah, there is no need to describe him in such terms. He is Kevin himself, but he belongs to our era."

"I have become the Herrscher of the End?" A hint of absurdity suddenly flashed across Kevin's eyes.

"Is it hard to understand?" Li Shubai shrugged. "You have completely controlled the Honkai in your palm. It's no big deal to use the power of Honkai a little bit. You don't even frown when you are a fusion warrior. In order to control the time power sealed in the end, you change a little bit into a Herrscher. There is no need to be so surprised, right?"

"..." Kevin was silent for a moment, then nodded silently to show that he understood.

"Okay, why are you still standing there?" Li Shubai waved at the two of them, "We have limited time, why don't you come over here quickly."

Kevin and Su looked at each other, bent their knees slightly, and then jumped suddenly, easily crossing a height of several hundred meters and reaching the edge of the deck of the Hyperion.

The moment he stood on the deck, a document was suddenly handed to Su by Li Shubai.

"Take a quick look at the key points of this operation." Li Shubai said, "Kevin, you don't need to read it. You won't understand it anyway. When we go back to 30 years ago, I will give you a few anchor points. Then you will follow Su's instructions and place these anchor points at different locations on the planet."

"..."

Kevin felt like he was being ridiculed, but he didn't say anything. He just kept his mouth shut and turned his gaze silently in the direction of Su.

The cloning of a planet is not simply the reproduction of matter.

If it is just the reproduction of matter, all the law-abiding people can do it easily, it's just that the time and energy consumed will be relatively longer.

However, the Ruler of Reason, even the power of the Ruler of Truth, cannot construct a living being with a soul.

Although the Eighth God's Key can create something similar to a clone to a certain extent, the previous civilization era also used a technology to transcribe the spirit into data, storing people's memories, personalities, and even most of their abilities in the form of data in the hardware facilities of the paradise of the past. However, the rescue that Li Shubai wants to accomplish has never been something like a "replica".

——If we just want to create a replica with the same personality and memories, then we can just replicate the "world bubble" according to past reality.

For Kevin and Su 50,000 years later, the so-called "world bubble" is even something that they can easily create.

However, on the material level, the destruction of the pre-civilization era is already a foregone conclusion.

What Li Shubai wanted to do was to clone a planet and at the same time bring all the human beings and their souls at that point in time before the birth of Alicia out of this world dominated by the [Cocoon], and then bring them to another world without collapse and without any other special energy.

In this way, while maintaining [history] completely unchanged on the material level, a new path that is not dominated by [cocoon] is opened up for the human beings of that civilized era.

Of course, after the loss of Honkai, the humans in that world would most likely not have the prosperous technology and civilization of the previous civilization era, and they might also stir up disputes over things like competition for resources and power, but this kind of thing was not something that Li Shubai needed to consider.

He is the captain of the Hyperion, and only the captain of the Hyperion. It's okay to let him lead a ship, but as for leading the entire human civilization, it's better to let him go.

After reading the plan given by Li Shubai, Su was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed, closed his eyes again, and a hint of relief appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"fair enough."

Sometimes, even Li Shubai himself didn't know whether it would be good or bad for mankind to completely eliminate the thing called "Honkai Impact" from human civilization. Just as he had said to Kevin before, although the "Honkai Impact" had destroyed human civilization several times and caused countless tragedies, it was undeniable that the emergence of the thing called "Honkai Impact" had indeed brought a different opportunity to human civilization.

If it weren't for the [Cocoon], the time of this planet would not be recorded by the [Cocoon], and they would not be able to manipulate time arbitrarily through the power of the [Cocoon] to reverse past regrets; if there were no [Cocoon], it would be difficult for humans - or it should be said, at least difficult to find a way to avoid the lifespan limit in a short period of time.

Regardless of whether this world collapses or not, everything in that era will slowly turn into earth as time goes by.

But at least if Kevin and Su were given the choice, compared to exempting themselves from the lifespan limit, they would probably choose to live in a world without collapse without hesitation.

"It seems you have made your decision." Li Shubai smiled, "Then come with us."

——In the intrinsic world, in the imaginary space where [Cocoon] is located.

Three Bronyas stood in front of the inactive [Cocoon]. Two of them had no expression on their faces, while one of them glanced uncontrollably to the side with a strange expression on her face.

"If you want to see it, you might as well be more open." Suddenly, the only one of the three Bronyas, the [Secondary Silver Wing] with a voluptuous figure, smiled faintly. "Everyone standing here is a Bronya. If you have any questions to ask or are curious about something, you can just ask me directly."

"...Sorry." Bronya - the one wearing a mecha-style armor, coughed with a slightly red face.

It was obvious that she was one of the three great families that Li Shubai had brought from the world where the dying Kevin was. She locked her sights on her own majestic and proud adult self and hesitated for a long time. In the end, curiosity and envy overwhelmed her shyness. "Can you tell Bronya...what method did you use to grow so big? Bronya is aware of her body shape."

"..."

Hearing the curious and longing voice of her other self, Bronya [Hersher of Reason] couldn't help but prick up her ears.

The first moment they saw Bronya [Secondary Silver Chaos Wings] on the Hyperion, Bronya [Hersher of Reason] and her other sister [Comet Drive] on the Hyperion felt a sense of unreality as if they were dreaming.

Just as Bronya said after her metamorphosis, they actually have a considerable degree of self-awareness about their own figures.

Generally speaking, a woman's body development reaches its peak around the age of seventeen.

Normally speaking, those born in August 2000 should not have much room for growth after becoming Herrschers of Reason.

Therefore, after seeing the mature figure of Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing], the two Bronya [Hershers of Reason] [Comet Driver], who had experienced a brief joy, began to doubt whether Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] was her true self after rationality overwhelmed her emotion.

Of course, what they suspected was not Bronya's identity as [Secondary Silver Wing], but they were wondering... whether this guy had used some cheating methods in the next few years, such as the power of reason, the power of reason, and the power of reason and so on.

"Sure enough..." After hearing this question, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression.

There are questions about her proud figure, and this is not the first time that Bronya [Second Silver Wing] has been suspected.

Not long ago, when she was traveling across the world with the captain, she was once questioned by her adoptive mother, Cocolia.

So, when Bronya [Second Silver Wing] encountered a similar situation for the second time, she was not completely unprepared for it.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, making an expression as if she was thinking about something, then suddenly touched her face, revealing a very exaggerated shy look.

"..."

After seeing the appearance of her other self [Secondary Silver Wing], Bronya's eyelids twitched when she asked the question, and she instinctively felt a little regretful.

"Of course... I asked the person I like to knead it for me~" While touching her face, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] showed a very calm smile.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Bronya always felt that the smile of her other self [Secondary Silver Wing] was one she had seen on someone before.

This kind of elegant, calm, yet slightly shy smile looks incredibly beautiful...

……Yes.

It was exactly like the smile that Rita would show.

"Okay, stop talking." Bronya looked away, expressionless. "It's Bronya's fault. I shouldn't have asked you this question."

"But, Bronya didn't lie." Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] gently placed her arms under the pair of majestic things and weighed them lightly. "Whether it's the upper or the lower... they have grown into what they are today because of the captain's love."
