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

On the other hand, if Ai Yue is only killed but artificial intelligence cannot be destroyed or controlled, then it can only be regarded as a severe blow to human civilization, and in the end it is possible that humans will kill him in return.

Therefore, regardless of the purpose, the Ruler of Rule must seize control of artificial intelligence.

"Oh, it's for Rose."

Ai Yue shrugged, "But unfortunately, I don't have such means."

"You think we'll believe it?"

The girl exchanged a glance with her companion and couldn't help but laugh. "Scholars like you always want to keep a few tricks up your sleeve, don't they? Such nonsense wouldn't even fool a child!"

As she spoke, she placed the ice knife in her hand against Ai Yue's chest and began to slash it downwards: "If you keep being so stubborn, I'll consider giving you a taste of pain."

"Okay, how about this."

Blood flowed down Ai Yue's chest, prompting him to quickly relent. "How about exchanging answers for answers? Even though I can't survive, some questions will still be a headache if I don't figure them out before I die."

"Are all you scholars like this?"

The girl exchanged a glance with the others, then nodded, "Okay, go ahead and ask."

However, Ai Yue's subsequent words made their expressions change: "Who is the first Ruler of Herrscher?"

"What do you mean?"

The girl subconsciously glanced at her companion, but showed a puzzled expression, "I don't understand what you are saying."

"The Rulers of Herrscher wouldn't all be born at the same time. There must be a sequence between them, right?"

Ai Yue said with a smile, his eyes scanning the others, "I've entered your domain. In that place, everyone uses the same appearance, but such appearance must have a source, right? For example, it is based on the prototype of the first Ruler..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a woman beside him. She had a ferocious expression on her face and roared loudly: "Kill him!"

Ai Yue's words made her feel afraid. If she continued to let the other person live, something bad might happen.

However, instead of taking action, the girl's face twisted and she fell to her knees, seemingly feeling pain.

Not only her, but everyone, including herself, fell to the ground at the same time.

Ai Yue turned his head and looked at the roaring woman, a smile on his face: "Yes, she looks similar to you."

Faced with the sudden reversal of the situation, the woman's face was filled with disbelief: "You, how on earth did you manage to break free!"

"Break free?"

Ai Yue showed a puzzled expression on his face, and then he clapped his hands in sudden realization, "Sorry, I forgot to cancel it."

As he clapped his hands, Ai Yue's figure quietly burst like a bubble, disappearing along with the equipment and clothes that had been taken off on the ground.

The woman suddenly sat up from the ground, only to find that all of them had fallen to the place where they had just entered the door, and Ai Yue was sitting upright in the office chair at this moment. He slowly turned around and smiled at her.

"You don't really think your plan succeeded?"

Chapter 82: The BOSS enters the second stage.

The Ruler of Domination's plan is very simple, and can be summed up in two words: steal the home.

When Kevin and others appeared in their sight holding the Herrscher Core, the Dominant Herrscher realized that this would be a difficult battle, but they did not choose to give up directly at that time. It was not until the enemy opened fire at full power and roamed directly in the Herrscher army that they completely gave up the possibility of a frontal push.

However, it was precisely because of the powerful strength of Kevin and others that the Ruler of Domination seized the perfect opportunity - the top combat forces of the Fire Moths were all gathered here, and they also brought all the Ruler Cores, so who else could be guarding the Star of Light?

Even if your defense is impenetrable, we can just go around it!

Just like that, after forming a team specializing in stealth operations, the Ruler of Domination quietly split into two parts.

The main force remained in place to absorb the fusion warriors' energy. In order to prevent the woman using the eighth Herrscher's core from noticing that someone had left, the Herrschers who had mastered the power related to consciousness had to do their utmost to interfere with her, thus completing this most crucial escape.

After the infiltration team successfully used the ability of space teleportation to enter the Star of Light, they quickly found Ai Yue's location.

And then... then it became like this.

"This is wrong!"

Recalling the plan all along, the female individual who had not found any loopholes at all, the First Born Ruler, showed an expression of disbelief, "How could you possibly have such ability? Clearly, all the Herrscher Cores are now on the battlefield..."

There are individuals in the infiltration team who are good at playing with minds, so if you want to quietly drag all of them into the illusion, it is impossible without a true Eighth Herrscher core.

You know, it was only after the Ruler of Rule confirmed this that he dared to send a small team directly into the experimental base. Otherwise, even if the number of people was doubled, it would be no different from delivering food.

Faced with this question, Ai Yue just smiled faintly: "If you don't create such an illusion, would you dare to show your head?"

Ai Yue's plan is also very simple, which can be summed up in six words: lure the opponent to steal the home base.

When he first infiltrated the Domination Domain, he realized that although the Domination Herrschers seemed to be composed of a legion of 10,000 Herrschers, they were actually not much different from the previous Herrschers. There was still a real main body hidden among them.

You must know that the self-awareness displayed by these individuals as rulers of the law and their character flaws mean that this group of people are actually unable to truly unite. Once a situation arises that requires individual self-sacrifice, they are likely to collapse, escape, or even surrender.

Unless, these personalities belonging to the original owners of these bodies are actually just a disguise to conceal their identities - the true personalities of these people died as early as the moment they became Herrschers, and were transformed into something like puppets, but even they themselves did not realize it.

And this may be the truth about "domination".

Through a power similar to quantum entanglement, the Herrscher of Domination can extend her perception to every corner of the world through the Honkai disaster. In this way, she controls those individuals eroded by the Honkai, reshaping their original spirits into one of her own clones, thereby completing the "reproduction" of the Herrscher of Domination.

In this way, the Rulers of Domination can advance as a group even if their individual qualities are uneven, and can continue fighting without fear of casualties. After all, in essence, they are all one person.

Ai Yue's goal is to find the most special individual, that is, the first ruler of the rule. Therefore, revealing a flaw and attracting the opponent to use decapitation tactics is the simplest and quickest way. At this time, the opponent will definitely not be able to help but take action personally.

"Illusion?"

The Ruler's eyes widened. "Impossible! That level of spiritual power out there is definitely at the Herrscher level! How could they possibly do that without a Herrscher core?"

“In fact, it can be done.”

Ai Yue's smile widened. "Of course, the information you obtained doesn't contain any details about Aponia, right?"

The key to this plan is to convince the Ruler of Domination that all nine Herrscher cores held by the human side have been used on the front battlefield. Only then will they dare to use decapitation tactics.

That's why Ai Yue even assigned a Herrscher core to Wei Erwei and sent her to the front battlefield.

The key to the plan lies in Aponia. It can be said that if there is a human who can exert abilities comparable to the Herrscher level, then only Aponia can do it. After all, in the original plot, he suppressed the existence of the Eighth Herrscher and Su at the same time with his own strength across half the world.

More importantly, few people in the entire Fire Moth Society knew of Aponia's outrageous abilities. Therefore, apart from a few people, even the files accessible to staff members of Klein's caliber only stated that "Aponia is a psychic-perception fusion warrior." Therefore, even if the Ruler of Domination obtained internal information, he would have no idea of Aponia's true strength.

Based on Aponia's terrifying personal strength, Ai Yue simply used the core of the Ruler of Rule and made some improvements to it, and created a device that could imitate the energy fluctuations of a genuine Ruler of Ruler's core, successfully deceiving the Ruler of Ruler's perception.

That's why this scene happened.

"Humans, how despicable!"

After hearing Ai Yue's explanation, the Ruler of Domination naturally understood everything and couldn't help but reveal a look of contempt. "But it's useless even if you capture me. Even if you kill my body, my spirit will still awaken in another individual!"

This is the confidence of the Ruler of Rule.

Ai Yue's previous speculation was not wrong, but it was not entirely correct. The Ruler of Domination did not simply transform others into her puppets, but split her own consciousness through her power and parasitized other individuals. This was why she did not reproduce endlessly, but only gave birth to a total of 10,000 individuals - because her limit was here. If she continued to split, her power would become difficult to maintain.

And these ten thousand Herrschers are the extension of her power and spirit. Unless they are all killed, the Herrscher of Domination can still exert its full power.

It could be said that although the woman before him was indeed the first Ruler to be born, she herself did not possess any special characteristics compared to other individuals.

"I see. It seems my inference is still flawed."

Ai Yue said thoughtfully, "I originally thought that as the original individual, you might have the ability to recycle the spirits and powers of other individuals after their death and continue to reproduce. But now it seems that I was mistaken."

After saying this, he smiled again: "So I don't have to worry about the possibility that if one of you escapes, you can continue to split and reproduce to create ten thousand new Rulers, right?"

The Ruler's expression changed instantly: "You're trying to trick me!"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Ai Yue showed a matter-of-fact expression, "After all, your situation is quite special. If we don't understand it clearly, it will be difficult to prescribe the right medicine."

He took out another finite glove and put it on his hand. He looked at the Eighth Herrscher core embedded in it and glanced at the Herrscher of Domination. "Although you seem to have no research value, but since you are here, why not try the 'Mind Plague' I carefully developed? This thing may not be very effective on ordinary people, but for those of you who are mentally connected..."

Ai Yue didn't finish his words, but showed a meaningful expression.

Obviously, the "mental plague", a virus that can spread and infect the mind, is absolutely deadly to the Ruler of Domination.

"Don't think about it!"

The Ruler of Rule also realized the seriousness of the problem. She just glared, and all the Ruler of Rulers, including herself, began to become weak in an instant. It was obvious that their spirits were extracted by the power.

But in the end, she still managed to say something cruel: "I didn't want to use this trick, you forced me to do it!"

After she said this, she died.

Only Ai Yue was left standing up leisurely, sighing: "Young people nowadays are really not easily frightened."

As for "not wanting to use it"... Le, what tricks can't a person facing imminent death use? It's just that he thought he still had a chance to steal something.

Now that the easiest route to victory has been blocked by Ai Yue, the Ruler of Domination will naturally start fighting for his life.

As soon as Ai Yue finished his work, Aponya's voice appeared in his mind: "Ai Yue, what's the situation?"

"I'm fine, but unfortunately, the most convenient method doesn't work. I still have to fight head-on."

Ai Yue watched the drone carry away several bodies for disposal, then said, "How's the situation on the battlefield?"

"Something unusual has happened. Did the Herrscher open some kind of special... barrier?"

Aponia's tone remained as calm as ever, though it completely contradicted what she was saying. "Kevin and the others have been swallowed by the barrier. It's soon my turn, Ellie's, and Daisy's. What should we do?"

"That's the territory of domination. Just go in. Don't be afraid."

Ai Yue said, "Also, pay attention to the situation of the Herrscher Core. After the Herrscher of Domination opens the Domination Domain, it may usurp the power of other Herrscher Cores. Leave the rest to me."

"I understand."

Aponya's voice also began to become ambiguous, as if she was truly a world away from Ai Yue, so much so that even the mental link could not accurately convey her meaning, "I will...end...you are not allowed..."

Ai Yue didn't hear clearly Aponya's last words, but he felt a chill, as if someone was staring at him.

Never mind, let’s get down to business.

Ai Yue turned on the drone's camera and saw that the area that was supposed to be the battlefield had become deserted. Both the Rulers of Domination and the Fusion Warriors had disappeared completely. Only the Honkai Beasts were left fighting with the drone swarm.

This scene was proof that the Ruler of Rule had unfolded his domain of rule and drawn everyone into it.

This skill did not appear in the pre-civilization related content of the original plot, but is an ability used by the Herrschers of the current civilization. Relying on this technique, they can seize the power of the Herrschers trapped in the dominant field. It can be said to be very powerful.

However, due to the significant differences between the Herrschers of the previous civilization and the current civilization, Ai Yue was not sure whether they could actually use this trick. However, out of caution, he still made a countermeasure plan for this possibility, which came in handy now.

On the other side, Kevin and others have been swallowed up by the suddenly opened domination area. Out of caution about the unknown area, they gathered together again to guard against enemies who might attack from unknown corners.

"The communication system is down and we can't connect to anyone."

After repeated attempts, Weiwei finally confirmed this fact. "So where is this place? Is it no longer on Earth?"

In fact, this thing had lost its function the moment the domination field was opened, but Weiwei finally gave up on repairing it until now - after all, it was not broken at all.

"This is the realm of domination, part of the power of the Ruler of Domination."

Mobius, who had been here before, was probably the only one who knew something about this place. "I don't know anything more... Don't look at me, you should contact Ai Yue. He must know more."

"Before coming in, I contacted Ai Yue,"

Aponia took the initiative to speak, "He said that we should be careful of the Herrscher of Domination attacking the Herrscher Core. They may be able to seize the power of the Herrscher Core."

"In that case, let's put it away for now."

Kevin made the most cautious decision. He put the core into his belt, and the flaming sword went out, replaced by a layer of solid ice. "At the moment, it seems that there will be no problem without relying on the Herrscher core."

Others followed suit.

"There are probably less than three thousand Rulers left."

Destobia said, "Although we've eliminated almost half of them, there still seem to be quite a few left. Is this really okay?"

For Kevin, losing the power of the Herrscher Core is just like losing a useful weapon, but for others, the power of the Herrscher Core is still very important.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be fine."

Kosmo said in a firm tone, "This is our first battle, we won't lose."

"Although I know your theory is totally unrealistic,"

Destobia sighed, "Thank you for comforting me, though."

"The enemies are numerous, but not strong enough."

Sakura said simply, "As long as we stick together, there will be no problem."

"Don't worry, just believe in everyone's strength."

Alicia smiled as well, but she suddenly turned serious mid-sentence. "We will definitely... Wait, there are unidentified units approaching, and there are a lot of them!"
