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

Hua nodded, then turned around and left.

Although she initially thought of using the power of the Taishi Armor to relieve the pressure on the soldiers at the front line, it now seems that the villains mixed in the crowd need to be dealt with more.

However, can I really complete this task by myself?

Dr. Mei then lowered his head and while dealing with the body in his hands, he thought about whether there was anything he had missed.

However, at this moment, Wei Erwei beside her showed a strange expression: "Mei, although it is hard to believe, I think we don't need to guess the identity of this person anymore."

The mechanical arm behind her reached into the wound that Weiwei had opened in the body's abdomen and took out something that was familiar to both of them.

It was a strange crystal that was stained with blood, but still could not conceal its brilliant light. It was light red in color and extremely pure, without any impurities.

That is the Herrscher core.

Chapter 65: How much did you say?

When the core appeared in front of the two people, the identity of the body became self-evident.

However, out of a rigorous scientific research attitude, Dr. Mei still removed the crystal from Velvet's robotic arm. The armor on her arm opened like an umbrella, and then the instrument exposed inside performed a basic scan of the crystal.

"Although the energy frequency and crystal capacity are far inferior to the previous Herrscher core, the properties are the same."

Dr. Mei came to a conclusion, his tone still filled with doubt, "This is indeed the Herrscher core, right? So, this person is the Herrscher?"

"How can there be such a weak Herrscher?"

Weiwei's tone was no less confused than Dr. Mei's. "How could a Herrscher of this caliber possibly cause a catastrophe of this magnitude? The ninth catastrophe is nearly twice as large as the seventh!"

According to the research that the Fire Moth has been conducting, it can be determined that the strength of the Herrscher itself is proportional to the scale of the Great Collapse. The higher the energy peak of the Great Collapse and the larger the scale, the stronger the Herrscher will be.

The most destructive Herrscher known to date is the Seventh, who reduced the entire Australian continent to scorched earth in just seven days. According to this theory, the Ninth Herrscher wouldn't need even half the time to destroy the entire Australian continent.

By the way, the scale of the Eighth Great Collapse actually exceeded that of the Seventh Great Collapse. Unfortunately, the Eighth Herrscher was not good at frontal combat, and was captured by Ai Yue's team less than 48 hours after her birth. She did not show her due strength at all, so she was not counted.

But no matter what, the strength of the Herrscher born in the Ninth Great Collapse would definitely not be limited to this level.

"Also, if this is a Herrscher, then how could the officer on Alicia's side be one?"

Dr. Mei also raised a question, "Can't both of them be Herrschers?"

"Who knows? It's normal for Herrschers of this level to appear more often."

Wei Erwei suddenly laughed. "So, could it be that the Herrscher is going the quantitative route this time?"

Soon, the fusion warriors of Alicia's team also brought the officer's body over, and Alicia herself went directly to the shelter for inspection.

And in this body, the two people found another Herrscher core.

"Did I really hit the mark?"

Wei Erwei covered her mouth with an incredible look on her face, "Is there something wrong with my mouth today?"

"What's so surprising? Wasn't this expected?"

Dr. Mei glared at her unhappily, "Get your equipment out there. It's time to get to work."

After a brief discussion, the two casually called this existence, whose numerical values were far inferior to those of the Herrscher but possessed the core of the Herrscher, a "quasi-Herrscher."

"What are you going to do?"

Wei Erwei began to take something out of the pouch on her back. "Why don't you give it to me? I'll see if I can use it to power my new invention."

"I just tried it. Activating one of the Herrscher Cores caused a reaction in the other Herrscher Core. This has never happened with any of the previous Herrscher Cores."

Dr. Mei explained, "If there is more than one 'quasi-lawgiver' hiding in Mu Continent, perhaps this method can be used to try to locate them."

"That's really worth a try."

Wei Erwei perked up when she heard this. "Tell me in detail so I can see where to start... Humph, I must get ahead of Ai Yue this time!"

Although she had long realized that she could never compare to Ai Yue, Wei Erwei never admitted this fact. No matter what happened, she would always declare that she could beat Ai Yue.

Ai Yue had no objection to this - after all, most of the time he was completely unaware of it.

But this time, just as the two were about to attack, the communication inside Dr. Mei's armor was once again awakened: "Hello? Dr. Mei, how are you guys doing?"

Dr. Mei's face immediately lit up with joy, but Wei Erwei had an expression that said, "My job is about to be snatched away."

"Ai Yue? Are you okay over there?"

Dr. Mei selected the video mode so she could see what was happening on Ai Yue's side, but then her expression turned serious. "Wait, you were... attacked by a missile?"

After sharing the vision of Ai Yue's armor, Dr. Mei saw that the ground on Ai Yue's side was littered with drone wreckage, and not far away he could see thick smoke rising into the sky, which was obviously a scene that would only occur after an attack.

"Nothing, just five nuclear bombs, it's been resolved."

Ai Yue said casually, "Also, I've already dealt with the Ninth Herrscher, but I guess a new Herrscher should have appeared over there, right?"

"The Ninth Herrscher has been eliminated?"

Dr. Mei subconsciously glanced at the remains and the Herrscher core placed before him, "What do you know?"

"I know that many Herrschers suddenly appeared, but their strength is very weak, even comparable to the second batch of fusion warriors."

Ai Yue has now arrived at the Light Star Experimental Base. "Just now, with Rose's remote command, I captured the people who launched the nuclear bomb attack on me. Guess how many there are?"

"There are only a few people who have access to the nuclear launch codes, but a successful launch is not that simple. The entire operating system needs support."

Dr. May pondered, "Ten?"

"Three."

Ai Yue said something she hadn't expected, "A senior officer who holds the key to the relevant system, and a soldier on the other side of the world, and a soldier who blew up the control center, preventing the last possible chance of aborting the launch."

"How are they connected?!"

Dr. Mei asked subconsciously, then looked at the Herrscher Core in front of him, "You mean to say that they have a way of communicating that can transcend physical distance?"

“Quantum entanglement?”

Wei Erwei beside her also realized, "From this angle, we can determine their location, right?"

"That's not necessary. I've had Rose monitor the global network. We can determine their location based on their past experiences and current whereabouts."

Ai Yue has already arrived at the main control room. "It's just that the number may be a bit large, and it will be troublesome to handle."

"No wonder Rose said she couldn't get away now,"

Wei Erwei nodded. "But, have you been aware of this for a long time?"

"Not really. In fact, I wasn't sure at the beginning. I was just taking precautions to pave the way for the 'stage plan'."

Ai Yue raised his head again and looked at Prometheus, who had borrowed Quinn's host computer: "Rose, are the results of the investigation out?"

"We are still screening,"

Prometheus responded, "Currently, more than 3329 suspicious individuals have been identified. Do you want to retrieve the relevant files?"

"……what?"

Chapter 66: Ai Yue is here, and there is a clear sky.

This exclamation came not only from Dr. Mei and Wei Liwei, but also from Ai Yue.

After experiencing all of this, he had of course confirmed that these Herrschers were the tenth Herrscher in the original plot, the "Herscher of Domination", also known as the "Herscher of a Thousand".

This name is naturally because the total number of this group of Herrschers is as high as one thousand people, but now, Prometheus alone has been able to lock on to more than three thousand people, and this is not all. It is difficult to imagine how huge the final size of this group will be.

The most crucial thing is that, considering the power of the Tenth Herrscher itself and their ability to communicate regardless of distance, the damage that a thousand people could cause is already astonishing enough. If this scale is expanded further, things will become extremely troublesome.

Prometheus is not omnipotent. She can certainly conduct efficient screening through big data analysis, but the accuracy of this method is not 100%. In other words, there are definitely people who have been wronged among these more than 3,000 targets, but there are definitely Herrs among the remaining people who cannot be screened out in this way.

After all, theoretically speaking, as long as a person maintains the life before becoming a Herrscher, he or she can escape Prometheus' screening.

And the most crucial point is that the Rulers of Domination cause damage to human civilization in many ways. They infiltrate human civilization and then use their identities or other conveniences to create disasters. Although their destructive power is not as strong as that of other Rulers of Domination, they will cause irreparable damage to human social relations.

The Herrscher's screening mechanism of randomly selecting a lucky person in the area where the Great Collapse occurred was already a headache. If ordinary people knew that there were now more than thousands or even tens of thousands of Herrschers hiding in various corners of the earth, each of them possessed special abilities, and were hostile to humans and wanted to destroy the entire human civilization, then the earth would be in chaos. Ai Yue didn't dare to imagine it.

In comparison, the premature appearance of the Ruler would cause Ai Yue's "stage plan" to fail, which was already the most insignificant problem.

"There are so many, and judging by the current situation, they are scattered all over the world..."

Dr. Mei frowned, clearly realizing the seriousness of the problem. "Then it's going to be very troublesome to deal with, unless there's some way to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"It would be best if we could solve it all at once. Otherwise, these rats in the gutter will keep watching you from the dark, and no one can resist them."

Ai Yue suddenly raised his head, then sighed, "Look, here it comes again."

Along with Quinn's alarm, three more flying missiles appeared on the screen.

"are you OK?"

Dr. Mei was a little worried. "We can't keep going like this. How about we find someplace else to hide?"

"I avoid them?"

Ai Yue couldn't help but let out a cold smile, "I wish they would concentrate all their firepower on me. Don't worry, just take care of yourselves first, I'll figure out a solution."

At this moment, a golden light suddenly lit up in the central control room. A golden imaginary portal opened next to Ai Yue, and Mebius walked out. He casually threw three packages on the ground and said, "Here, what you asked for."

This was the body of the Tenth Herrscher that Ai Yue had just asked Mobius to retrieve from three different places using the Second Herrscher's genetic potion. For this purpose, he also sought help from Aponia remotely to help Mobius locate it.

"Thanks."

Ai Yue nodded and glanced at Mebius again, "By the way, remember to die outside the experimental base, otherwise it will be more troublesome to deal with."

Mebius simply gave him a middle finger before opening the portal again and leaving.

"Well, the way you two get along is really special."

Dr. Mei could only give a polite smile and said, "Then we'll get back to our business here."

Dr. Mei felt more at ease leaving the task of dealing with the Tenth Herrscher to Ai Yue rather than letting her handle it herself.

"So what do we do now?"

Wilvi couldn't help but ask, the mechanical arm behind her swinging aimlessly in the air, "Are you still working on the device that can sense the cores of other Herrschers?"

"Not for now,"

With Ai Yue taking charge of the most critical issue, Dr. Mei suddenly felt refreshed. "Our top priority is to quickly resolve the Hunkai Beast Sea on Mu Continent and the Rulers hiding among the people."

"Damn it, isn't this like we've already lost before we even started?"

Wei Erwei angrily slammed her fist on the table, and the mechanical arm behind her began to wave its claws. "Humph, the winner this time was definitely mine, but it was only because of your order that I gave it to Ai Yue, so this time doesn't count!"

"You're quite self-aware by not saying 'I won this time,'"

Dr. Mei glanced at Wei Erwei speechlessly. "Stop being a comedian and come help me. Prometheus has sent over information about suspicious targets in Atla City. Please review it and send it to Hua and Alicia. I'll handle the command issues on the front lines."

Before Ai Yue came, Dr. Mei naturally had to take on the responsibility of dealing with the Herrscher's problem, but now that there is a tall man to hold up the sky if it falls, they only need to deal with the current situation.

After finishing the communication with Mu Continent, Ai Yue also grabbed the three bodies and walked towards his laboratory. On the way, he met Mebius coming in from the gate. Judging from her new clothes, she had obviously died again.

"Do you need my help?"

Looking at Ai Yue's actions, Mebius naturally knew what he was going to do, so he took the initiative to speak.

"No, I suggest you return to the Fire Moth headquarters. Dr. Mei is not here, and they need someone with sufficient qualifications to take charge."

Ai Yue shook his head and looked at Mobius again, "Be careful, there must be a Herrscher inside the Fire Moth."

"What are you afraid of? I can't die."

Mebius didn't care about it at all. "Besides, Su is still at the headquarters. With him in charge, there's no need to worry too much."

Although Su's mental strength is still far inferior to Aponia's, his growth rate can only be described as incredible. Now, it has been less than two months since he became a fusion warrior, but whether it is the strength of his mental strength, the delicate operation of his mental strength, or the mastery of his abilities, he has undergone a complete transformation.

Now, he is responsible for guarding the entire Fire Moth headquarters, and there will be no big problems, because as long as Su is willing, he can expand his mental field and directly cover the entire Fire Moth headquarters. At that time, anyone in the headquarters who wants to use violence will be affected by his ability "Cause and Effect".

Having said that, Mebius finally listened to Ai Yue's advice and returned to the Fire Moth headquarters through the portal. Ai Yue finally understood why the other party was able to appear in Australia in time when the portal was closed.

Because Vivi left more than one backup plan on the portal.
