Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

An Yu: "Kick this guy out."

Lecturer: "Listen to me, it is indeed a foolish thing to lay all your cards on the table, but as long as we determine Alicia's playtime, we actually have a lot of room to maneuver."

Lecturer: "For example, hypnotizing the other person in reverse."

Lecturer: "We don't even need any means, because the allure of ideas is something that intelligent beings simply cannot resist, and Alicia happens to be an intelligent being who loves exploring ideas."

Expert: "The risk is too high. Alicia might be faking it. After all, if it were really a game, she should have a one-click disguise button."

Lecturer: "Let me volunteer myself, and I hope you'll trust my eloquence, shall I?"

An Yu: "There are two more options, or even three."

Scholar: "Mei Yingba is probably not. She should be considered a perk for paying players, like a pet, to cater to the gaming experience of those who spend a lot of money on the game."

The Great Magician: "Indeed, there are three more options. Then we'll need to prepare even more props for the curtain call."

Instructor: "I will try my best to disguise myself as a scholar and test An Yu."

An Yu: "I'd rather do it myself."

Model 5: "..."

Volume 1: Chapter 178, Section 176: Himeko: ? ? ?

Australia, a vast and vibrant land, seems to be radiating unprecedented vitality under the illumination of the "Noah's Ark" project.

"Alice is really making a mountain out of a molehill."

Himeko stood at the edge of the camp, gazing at the distant wilderness, laughing heartily and shaking her head. She truly couldn't understand why Alicia would think of herself as the yet-to-arrive Seventh Herrscher.

However, the girl acted with integrity, so she was not disliked.

“Yes,” Hua replied softly.

"Just like the previous Herrscher, she can always pinpoint each and every one of them with precision."

Hua continued speaking, his voice steady yet carrying a subtle hint of contemplation.

Precise, as if you'd read the script.

"Those people who were exposed before had some merit, but what about me?"

Himeko shrugged, and after seeing Alicia off, she didn't take it to heart.

Now that Noah's Ark has set sail, it's safe to say that there are no major disasters in the world.

The original plot twists will not occur in the seventh installment, allowing Himeko to truly experience Australia's powerlessness and her own.

“But…” Hua hesitated, her lips barely moving.

"Say what you want to say. Do you think I'm some terrible superior?"

Noticing her hesitation, Ji Zi smiled and patted her shoulder forcefully, making Hua sway slightly.

Jiu Hua quickly shook her head and explained, "No, Captain, I was just thinking... the Sixth Herrscher, her birth also seems... to lack sufficient reason."

She gathered her thoughts and spoke calmly: "Although the other person is indeed a homeless child, under the current social welfare system, although their life is still below average, it is definitely not enough to cause such great resentment."

"Moreover, according to the scattered records beforehand and the descriptions of those around her, the girl was gentle by nature, even somewhat timid, and habitually yielding... not a narrow-minded or extreme person."

"I feel that the birth of the Sixth Herrscher is like..."

Lin paused for a moment before finally expressing the feeling that had puzzled her for so long: "It's more like the feeling of a homeless child in an old era without these welfare systems, a time of even more cruelty and despair."

After speaking, the flat-chested girl seemed to realize that she had talked too much, so she shut her mouth and returned to her previous calm demeanor, letting Himeko ponder her words.

Himeko patted Hua twice more: "I knew you weren't stupid, you've got something in your head."

Hua: I'm not a kid...

After that, Himeko didn't hold back. In her conversation with Alicia, she half-jokingly and half-probingly asked the question that had been lingering in the minds of many people but dared not utter aloud.

"Alicia, are you a reincarnated person? Like in those web novels... I've been reborn, and this time I'm going to take back everything that's mine."

Alicia: ...

She was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Why would you think that?"

"It's hard not to think that way, isn't it?" Himeko shrugged. "Your predictions are frighteningly accurate, and you always act with a kind of... well, a kind of composure as if you know the standard answer."

Alicia hesitated for a moment, then said without hesitation, "Pretty much."

"Hey, you're just telling me this so directly?" This time, Himeko was speechless.

"Shouldn't you at least be a little more aware of keeping your special identity a secret, little sister?"

Alicia shook her head, her pink hair swaying as she did so, her smile still bright:

"You are a good person, and the main reason you became a Herrscher was because of the infighting among humans at that time, which caused the situation in Australia to be delayed indefinitely. Even Australia itself could not solve the problem and chose to deal with it as a last resort."

"But things are different now. Humanity is thriving, and Australia's problems will be solved soon. I believe Himeko would never have the idea of ​​destroying the world."

The girl's smile was incredibly infectious. Perhaps it was because she had a near-predictable advantage from the start that she was able to choose to face everyone with such unwavering honesty.

While sincerity may be difficult to resonate with, it is rarely off-putting. For Himeko, with her carefree yet sensitive personality, sincerity should play a significant role.

"but!"

Alicia changed the subject, her tone becoming slightly more serious: "You may have to undergo some trials, some resentments stemming from history."

Yes, history. That's what Aponia told her. If she didn't want to expose her dreams, she should blame everything on history, on a prehistoric civilization from 20 years ago.

"Don't worry, I can definitely handle it."

Himeko stretched out her hand, clenched her fist, and stopped in mid-air.

Alicia laughed and punched back.

"Yes, we will succeed."

Dreams are ultimately just dreams and can be influenced by reality. But if a dream is exceptionally realistic, could it also subtly affect some aspects of reality?

Although Alicia had no idea where this resentment had accumulated in reality, perhaps it was truly history?

Himeko returned to the camp, and Hua sat on the steps at the entrance, chuckling to herself.

"Go to more parties or go out with friends more often, so that others won't say you're dull."

Hua smiled and shook her head; apart from the captain, she had very few friends.

"Since you're here, you might as well chat with me. Alicia didn't hold back at all."

Himeko reached out her hand and looked directly at the girl sitting on the steps. Her eyes were clear as a stream, reflecting the image of another person, not Himeko.

[That day, Hua and Himeko talked for a long time until An Yu completely understood the source of the seventh Honkai outbreak through the Heart Cocoon.]

In the normal timeline, there is no Noah's Ark, and humanity is not united.

Due to its natural geographical advantages, Australia has unsurprisingly become... a breeding ground for Honkai Beasts.

3. [With frequent Honkai events around the world, the largest manpower that the Firemoth could ultimately mobilize was Himeko's army.]

Trying to resolve the situation in Australia by manpower alone is nothing short of wishful thinking.

5. [But while mushroom eggs are possible, Australia doesn't need this kind of help. 90% of Australia's area is uninhabited; why pay such a huge ecological...and political price?]

[With over 800 million square kilometers, yet only a resident population of over 4000 million, and a total GDP of less than 2 trillion.]

[To deal with the Honkai Beasts here, we need to invest nearly 60% of our annual revenue, and we have to persist for several years.]

Unfortunately, the military spending of normal countries is typically between 5% and 18%.

[Furthermore, there's another important issue: Australia doesn't have mushroom eggs, and they don't accept aid from other continents. This is a huge political problem.]

Whether Australian leaders are incompetent or not is unclear, but An Yu will not allow them to become so. An Yu will create a fantasy world where they strive relentlessly and are filled with ambition, yet no matter how hard they struggle, they are like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to change the status quo.

Why? To give Himeko a sense of identification.

[Let Himeko know what Australia should be like, and at the same time make her realize that none of this is reality.]

[Anyway, Himeko is such a competitive person... let her keep trying in the illusion, An Yu is pretty sure she won't be able to clear it.]

[The seventh Honkai eruption.]

Volume 1: Chapter 179-177 Alicia: I feel a chill down my back.

The sixth Divine Key is being manufactured methodically.

[After all, it's not time for the final battle yet, so there's no need to rush.]

[The expert, Virvi, took the lead, with An Yu acting as her subordinate.]

In the normal storyline, Ji Velve would be kicked out of the fourth production team after the production of the third Divine Key, but Alicia won't do that, although the budget will still be cut.

[Vilvie had far too many whimsical ideas, but they served no real purpose; they simply highlighted the surprise and, incidentally, burned through the budget.]

[You don't know the cost of living until you're in charge of the household. Although she had acquired a huge sum of money from the land grabbing, Mei was never blinded by these large numbers. She was always very rational when it came to finances.]

"You understand?"

The expert stood beside the lawyer, her tone calm. The young man gave her a familiar feeling; perhaps they had crossed paths at some forgotten point in time.

Or perhaps, this is just a protective illusion carefully woven for her by the power of the Law of Knowledge.

"Give me some time, and I'll be able to understand it."

An Yu raised her head and answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world, even a little too confident.

The expert's lips twitched slightly, and his cool silk gloves rubbed An Yu's cheek without any hesitation, as if he were evaluating the material.

"Cooperate?"

An Yu: ...

He paused for a moment. His collaboration with the scholar, Vervier, had gone far beyond his expectations. Even with a different personality, the process was still as smooth as ever.

"I will teach you how to truly understand and master the core technologies of these God Keys."

The expert leaned against the control panel beside him and laid out his terms: "And you, with your abilities, help me suppress those other... noisy personalities within me."

An Yu's pupils contracted slightly. Vilvi always managed to give him some unexpected surprises, but that was normal, since normal people couldn't understand lunatics.

"I reject."

An Yu didn't have time to waste with expert Wilvi; he had to pretend to be tricked into revealing information by the lecturer.

Moreover, if those noisy personalities are really suppressed, what will happen to the cocoon in his heart that he finally managed to infiltrate the patient group and obtain a legitimate identity?

Why?

The expert paused for a moment. Based on her analysis of An Yu's previous behavior patterns, and the degree of obsession she showed with the Herrscher Core and the craftsmanship of the Divine Key, she should have been unable to resist such temptation.

"Your taste is terrible; we're not the same kind of people."

Incidentally, the heavy clothes and boots that Velvet wore were all made by experts.

The public has long suffered from the experts' suffering!

expert:?

"I can tell you definitively the insurance measures within the Divine Key."

She quietly laid out her chips, of course, she wouldn't tell An Yu everything. With her confidence, she believed that as long as one measure was still usable, the destruction of the Divine Key would lead to the destruction of the Herrscher Core as well.

This is also Alicia continuing her experience from previous levels. Incidentally, the second Divine Key has turned into a locomotive again.

Since no one has access to the virtual world, and Alicia can't use it properly, it's better to use this thing for civilian purposes or exploration.

"Why do you think I have the power to destroy the Key of God?" An Yu asked, puzzled.

The expert blinked. Oh right, Alicia's ability to predict the future and her seemingly omniscient and omnipotent image were so deeply ingrained that she subconsciously assumed An Yu was a threat capable of breaking through all limitations, but she overlooked the limits of the abilities that the other party was currently displaying.

"Then why did you insist on watching from the sidelines?"

An Yu gave a more straightforward answer: "Can't I just simply ensure that I can use the Divine Key normally in the future?"

expert:……

Yes, you can, but going to all that trouble just to avoid problems using the Divine Key seems like a lot of effort for little reward.

But then Wilvi thought about it again. No one stipulated that Herrschers were highly intelligent, and in fact, the previous six Herrschers had already proven their intelligence.

Although Alicia values ​​An Yu, aside from her incredibly accurate prophecies, Alicia doesn't seem to exhibit any high intelligence in her daily life.

[Message Board]

Expert: "An Yu's IQ seems to be on the same level as Alicia's. Even if she excels in some aspects, she is not the type who can make all the decisions in the world."
