Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

Dr. Mei felt relieved as he thought about it - after all, it was Ai Yue, so it was normal.

She felt that she understood Mebius's feelings a little bit - throwing all the unreasonable things on Ai Yue's head, and then being able to classify them as reasonable things with peace of mind, this way of thinking is really easy.

"I don't know if he can do such a thing."

Weiwei shrugged. "But the content of this blueprint is indeed related to energy interference."

"Tell me more about it."

Kevin immediately perked up, and everyone else focused their attention on Wei Erwei. "Does Ai Yue really have a way to break the Herrscher's power?"

"No, it's not possible at the moment."

Wei Erwei shook her head. "Of course, this isn't necessarily his fault. After all, I was the one who perfected the second half of the design, so I might not be able to fully meet his expectations."

"Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what the design is!"

Kevin couldn't help but urge, "The current situation is very grim. If there really is no way to check the power of the Herrscher, then I'm afraid we will all die!"

"Calm down, can you really display your full strength in this state?"

Weiwei glanced at him. Although her tone was still full of carelessness and casualness, it was surprisingly convincing. "And if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that Herrscher has no time to pay attention to us right now."

She looked at the short and special battle playing in a loop on the projection, and couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

"What do you mean?"

Dr. Mei also heard the hidden meaning of Wei Erwei's words and couldn't help but ask, "What did Ai Yue tell you?"

"You can understand this kind of thing without Ai Yue telling you, right?"

Wei Erwei shook her head. "It seems like you're all so caught up in this that you can't see it as clearly as an outsider like me."

"If you tell riddles again, I'll cut your funding."

Dr. Mei's tone was cold and ruthless. "Now that Ai Yue is gone, the management of the funds is back in my hands."

"Oh, that's what I said."

Wei Erwei covered her weak spot in surrender. "It's a simple question—which do you think is more powerful, the Herrscher's power or Ai Yue's own talent? Those who think the Herrscher's power is more powerful, raise your left hand. Those who think Ai Yue's talent is more powerful, raise your right hand."

After a moment, everyone responded—without exception, even Sakura, who had personally experienced the power of the Herrscher, chose to raise her right hand.

"That's what I'm trying to say."

Wei Erwei nodded in satisfaction. "Even we know that Ai Yue's talent is far more terrifying than the power of a Herrscher. So, wouldn't the Herrscher born from Ai Yue's body also be unaware of this?"

"But he only used the power of a Herrscher in battle, so you don't think he possesses Ai Yue's talents?"

Kevin couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. "Is it possible that the conditions he currently possesses are not enough to bring out the advantages of Ai Yue's talents, or that there is no need to use them in battle?"

"No, it's not."

Before Weiwei could answer, Dr. Mei responded, "The Herrscher's ultimate goal is to destroy human civilization. From this perspective, Ai Yue's talent is far more useful than the Herrscher's power. If the Herrscher truly possesses the former, then he shouldn't have shown up and wasted his time on us."

"Yes, we didn't find any clues about him at all. Instead, he showed up on his own initiative and started a war with us."

Alicia also showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Think about it carefully, this is totally unnecessary!"

"So why on earth would he do that?"

Eden also said, "If we combine these analyses, then the Herrscher's active appearance must have achieved some purpose."

"His goal is to make us retreat when faced with difficulties and choose a conservative battle plan."

Kevin's sense of battle was quite sharp. "By displaying his immense strength, he forced us to retreat and defend... He was buying himself time!"

"This is the biggest trump card left by Ai Yue."

Velvet's face showed admiration. "He has somehow restricted his consciousness. This way, even if the birth of the Herrscher distorts his mind and makes him an enemy of humanity, he won't be able to master this talent."

"But this will have a serious impact on him, right?"

Alicia couldn't help but show a worried expression, "Perhaps it will lead to a split personality?"

"That's something we'll consider after we can rescue him."

Wei Erwei said with a subtle expression, "In short, if this inference is correct, then the Herrschers shouldn't be in a hurry to attack us right now, so until then, everyone can relax."

“But do we really need to give each other time?”

Kevin's brows were still furrowed. "What if the Ruler can really break the restrictions set by Ai Yue and obtain Ai Yue's talents? What then?"

Wei Erwei thought about it and couldn't help but smile strangely: "If he really has this ability, then it seems that he doesn't need to covet Ai Yue's talent, right?"

Kevin was slightly stunned, then he couldn't help but nodded: "You make sense."

At least in this regard, Kevin has enough confidence in Ai Yue - since the Herrscher failed to obtain Ai Yue's talent in the beginning, he will never get it in the future.

Chapter 97: After all this time, you came to us for help.

"So, we now have enough time to rest and prepare, right?"

After a moment's thought, Dr. Mei suddenly realized something: "But Wei Erwei, you still haven't told me what the blueprint Ai Yue gave you is?"

"Ah, this..."

Wei Erwei couldn't help but turn her head and look at the air to the side, "Because it's really not finished yet."

"Not finished?"

Alicia couldn't help but repeat herself, "Then when you first appeared, you acted like you were here to save the world. What were you doing?"

The others also looked at Wei Wei, putting pressure on her in silence.

"Of course it's to show off."

Wei Erwei smiled awkwardly. "It's not my fault. Ai Yue left this half-finished product with no beginning or end. I've already tried my best to figure out what it means!"

"So what are you going to do?"

Kevin was the first to calm down. "Or did you come here to ask us for help?"

"Well, that's about it."

Wei Erwei quickly put on a serious expression, trying to avoid being judged by the crowd. "Actually, I already have an idea, but I'm lacking experiments and data corrections, so I need your help."

"In the end, it's not you who helps us, but we who help you?"

Dr. Mei couldn't help but sigh, "How exactly should we do it?"

"Let's start with this blueprint."

Wei Erwei snapped her fingers, and the mechanism box on her waist immediately projected a new image. "Simply put, Ai Yue's design is intended to create a special state generator that can resist external influences. This state can't be used for defense, but it can 'lock' the holder's state, making them unaffected by the outside world."

"With this, we can maintain our status in the Herrscher's strange realm, right?"

Kevin immediately realized, "Did Ai Yue really predict the power he could control?"

"I guess he just had a vague guess, otherwise he wouldn't have left such a half-finished product."

Wei Erwei shook her head. "For a blueprint, it's missing the most crucial part: feasibility. We don't have data on the power of the Anti-Laws. Even if we build it according to the blueprint, there's no guarantee it will actually work."

"In other words, if you want to turn theory into reality, you need a lot of data support, right?"

Alicia expressed her understanding. "So, what stage are you at now?"

"I filled in the remaining parts and made a few samples."

Weiwei reached behind her back and a metal box that looked like a waist bag appeared in her hand. "This is it. According to simple tests, it can maintain the stability of the force field in special environments such as high temperatures, electromagnetic storms, and high concentrations of collapsing energy, but that's all."

"In other words, we need to use it against the Herrscher to test whether it can truly resist the Herrscher's power, right?"

Kevin took the metal box from Wei Erwei and put it on his belt. "That's perfect. We can't let him have too much comfort."

Now that he knew that the Herrscher was stalling for time, Kevin had no intention of letting him spend this period of time in peace, regardless of whether he could succeed in the end.

"No, no, no, that's what you're talking about."

Velvet quickly stopped him, "As I said, this is just a simple test. Before facing the Herrscher directly, I think it needs to be tested by the Fusion Warrior."

"At the very least, it must be able to function normally under the influence of your abilities before it can face the Herrscher, right?"

"That's true. After all, not every time we face a Herrscher, we can rely on a pseudo-black hole to escape."

Eden nodded, "And we also need time to repair it."

"Besides, there's no way to pinpoint the Herrscher's location right now."

Alicia added, "We can't just wander around Australia aimlessly like this, right? We might collapse before we even find the Herrscher."

"I also need some time to do a more detailed analysis and organization of the information I collected previously."

Dr. Mei said, "Virvi, how much time do you need?"

"It doesn't need to be too many. There are only a few fusion warriors who can really participate in the experiment."

Velvet pondered, "Kevin, Alicia, Eden, Desdobia... if you calculate it this way, three hours is enough."

"Then let's rest for three hours and then gather back here."

Dr. May made a decision. “Does anyone have a problem with this?”

"I may not be able to participate in the experiment, Wilvi,"

Destobia raised a hand. "I'm afraid it's difficult for me to meet your requirements in my current state."

"Are you overexerting your mental energy?"

Velvet only glanced at Desdobia and confirmed her condition. She then pulled out a light pink potion from her pocket and handed it to her. "Here, try this."

Desdobia subconsciously took the potion, but did not act rashly: "What is this?"

"A degraded version of Aponia's Embrace..."

Wei Erwei said, "Ever since Ai Yue got the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher, this thing has been discontinued. He also refused to hand over the formula, so I made a new one based on the potion I left behind. Although the effect is not as good as the original, it can still replenish mental strength."

Desdobia injected the drug into her body with half-belief. After a while, her face turned much redder: "It actually works!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Wei Erwei rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, if it's useful, then get to work!"

"that,"

At this moment, Padovice in the corner suddenly walked towards Kevin and said, "I want to go out for a walk."

Kevin looked at her and nodded when he saw that Padovice had no intention of changing her mind. "Be careful and report to us if anything happens."

Padovice can act independently, which is the power given to her by Ai Yue. Although Kevin still has some doubts about Padovice's strength, he still chooses to trust Ai Yue's judgment.

As Ai Yue's closest person, he couldn't possibly push Padufils into the fire pit.

Padufilis nodded, walked out the door, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

She quickly left the Star of Light Experimental Base and arrived at the Australian mainland. Then, like diving, her entire body sank into the ground.

It is obviously most appropriate to leave the task of finding Ai Yue to her.

Chapter 98: Cat's most efficient episode.

On the other hand, things were not going smoothly, just as Weiwei said.

"What's going on? I clearly sensed it just now..."

In the dim space, Herrscher Ai Yue opened his eyes again with a frown.

As Ai Yue himself, the Herrscher Ai Yue naturally knew the problems he had. It could even be said that he was more anxious than Wei Erwei thought.

The Herrscher Ai Yue knew very well that since Ai Yue was able to limit himself to this extent, he must have prepared a backup plan against him. Therefore, time was very precious to him. As long as he could find a way to break the deadlock before the Fire Moth could react, victory would be within his grasp.

It was precisely because of this that he took the risk to appear in front of Kevin and others, and by showing his strength, forced the other party to change the direction of their plan, from active offense to passive defense.

Of course, it is not difficult to kill someone among the fusion warriors. For example, when he first attacked the plane, he was fully capable of turning Desdobia into a vegetable at that moment, and she would never wake up again.

However, through Ai Yue's memories, the Herrscher Ai Yue also knew very well that this behavior would only anger the other party - once the number of fusion warriors was reduced, then what he would face next would not be just the threat from Kevin and others, but the entire Fire Moth, and even the Earth United Government's troops.

At that time, he might even be killed by the other party taking advantage of their numerical advantage. Not to mention delaying time to break the restrictions left by Ai Yue, even saving his life would become very difficult.

Therefore, maintaining the status quo is what Herrscher Ai Yue wants to see most.
