Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

In the operating room, she skillfully started the heart-lung machine... She had just learned how to do it today, and she was certainly proficient at starting it.

Do you need anesthesia?

An Yu quietly shook her head.

[But he still secretly turned the sensory sharing to the lowest setting; turning it up during fights made him feel more excited, so the surgery wouldn't be necessary.]

Mei's eyes held a hint of admiration. A ruthless person.

[This is truly ruthless. Without any anesthesia, Mei Fei forcefully cut open the chest cavity, exposing the heart. Some faint scars and the flow of electric current could still be seen.]

[The cardiopulmonary bypass machine temporarily took over the heart's function. After confirming that the extracorporeal circulation was normal, Mei breathed a sigh of relief under An Yu's hesitant gaze.]

You can do it, Mei. Believe in yourself.

[Ahem, be careful when removing the heart. Her near-photographic memory keeps her constantly recalling the main blood vessels that must be preserved.]

[Then a normal heart was inserted, and it was slowly anastomosed and connected to the main blood vessels.]

The entire process took about four hours, which is quite a test for Mei's current physical condition.

But geniuses always receive some preferential treatment, just as the fate of villains never ends easily.

[As she turned to take out the equipment to stimulate the replaced heart, the heart-lung machine stopped working, and an electric current surged through An Yu's body.]

"feel good."

An Yu looked at the interface that was no longer red and checked the attributes. All the attributes had not decreased much, and the growth potential had even increased quite a bit.

Mei sat to the side, breathing heavily.

No wonder An Yu is a Herrscher. Just looking at her endurance, she didn't even flinch when her chest cavity was opened and her heart blood vessels were cut.

monster.

Why do you want to destroy the world?

"Fun."

An Yu lay on the second bed, quietly watching all her attributes rapidly recover. This must be the Herrscher's special ability at work.

Otherwise, for a normal person, it would take at least a few days to get back to normal activity.

Mei took a deep breath: [What's the real reason?]

An Yu said casually, "It's really fun, and it's really enjoyable."

The game world has no restrictions, and I'm the messenger of a god who destroys the world; mowing down enemies is so satisfying.

Moreover, the boss is well-made, the combat is also good, and most importantly, the sensory sharing can be adjusted to 100%.

An Yu had almost never experienced this kind of pure combat thrill in real life.

What's the reason it's fake?

"The reason it's fake?" An Yu chuckled twice.

"If I had to put it in a word, I'd call it a trial."

"The Honkai is a test for civilization, and the Herrschers are the examiners in those tests. What do you think of that reasoning?"

He propped himself up, and even though the surgery had only ended a few minutes ago, he seemed to feel no pain.

"Humanity has gone astray. Earth's resources can no longer support their infighting. Therefore, you must unite as one, put aside your differences, extend your technological advancements beyond Earth, and then... seek that glimmer of hope."

Of course, he was just joking.

Anyway, that's a fake reason.

[So, can I understand this to mean that when our civilization reaches a certain level, this trial will naturally end?]

An Yu pondered for a moment: "Just assume it's like this."

After all, Honkai doesn't have much prestige anymore. The original leader was too young back then, and the final ending had to be given a clear setting, so in the end, Honkai was just a god of Earth.

He got out of bed. The operating room had no windows.

Mei followed behind the other person.

There's no doubt that the Lawbringer is evil, but at least for now, we can communicate with him.

An Yu stood at the end of the corridor, pointing to the distant starry sky.

"Remember this: every star in the sky is an enemy."

plum:……

The Dark Forest Theory of the Universe? She had seen it in novels before.

If it's for the sake of human evolution, then why are you being so cruel?

"It's fun!"

Is that even a question?

Besides, didn't I just say that this is a fake reason? You didn't actually believe it, did you?

Actually, this is just a hack-and-slash game. Maybe there will be a sequel after I finish all the levels.

Why is it fake?

Mei paused for a long time before typing this line.

Why is it fake? An Yu pondered for a moment: "Of course it's because you failed this round. You have to be punished for doing something wrong."

"And since there are still people in this world doing wrong, the punishment will not stop."

How could despair not exist in the world?

Paradises only exist in fairy tales and fantasies… Mei suddenly stopped breathing; she remembered! That proverb!

So, does Paradise really exist?

But this kind of false utopia doesn't conform to the logic of reality at all!

What is the root cause of Honkai?

An Yu is really good at making things up about this.

"The Cocoon of the End can be understood as a mass of unconscious divine origin, from which everything that exists today originates."

Although An Yu preferred the initial, and incomplete, version of the Civilization Examiner.

Mei's thoughts were stuck; wasn't the style of the painting a little strange?

Why did it suddenly turn to the gods?

"You can pursue personal greatness and inherit divine positions, or you can use this transformation to make everyone like a dragon and truly make your civilization shine in the solar system."

What are you doing right now?

An Yu suddenly grabbed Mei and pointed out the window.

"Individual strength can conquer the stars and the sea!"

Just kidding, he just thinks these forbidden games are fun and exciting.

"Goodbye, girl. Next time we meet, I won't hold back."

Volume 1: Chapter 73, Section 72: Mebius's men, that's normal then.

Mei pressed the alarm button, but the alarm that should have sounded did not activate.

[As expected, it was discovered after all?]

[Fortunately, she wasn't alone. As someone chosen by Möbius to be on the front lines back then, she couldn't possibly be alone.] Si

The alarm suddenly sounded. As one of the most experienced so far, Mebius, her observation skills were always excellent; at least she wasn't too late.

[In the darkness, the enormous serpentine shadow flashed by, leaving only the Herrscher's cheerful voice echoing in the air.] 6

Thank you so much this time, the hearts of you human heroes are truly invaluable.

The foundation gradually crumbled, and the shelter, built less than a few days prior, completely collapsed.

In the international arena, a problem has emerged that is far more dangerous and deadly than Alicia herself.

[Someone is colluding with the Lawyers.]

As the old saying goes, the world won't stop turning because of one person.

[May's court-martial will not affect the establishment of the defensive line.]

Because the initial starting point of the defensive line was Changkong City, this current defensive line is called... Changkong Wall.

The towering walls divide the Far East in two. An Yu, as always, set up an auto-save every three hours and quit the game, then prepared to take a good nap.

He found an even more interesting way to play: maxing out the sensory sharing mode, although the field of vision would occasionally lag when it was maxed out...

An Yu understands, since the current market doesn't allow for such high prices, probably due to incompatibility with virtual systems.

Although he really wanted to mow the grass thoroughly, since tomorrow was a day off, there was still work to be done on days off... Sigh.

…………

Of course, some people's dreams are not over yet.

[At this moment, Alicia's world has collapsed. The front lines are in dire straits, and the rear lines are also suffering heavy losses, right?!]

[If Möbius is executed, who will understand imaginary numbers? Who will analyze the essence of collapse? Will we rely on Möbius?]

Professor Mebius was no longer young, and even after Alicia's persistent pleas, he temporarily postponed his own goals, actively researching Fusion Warriors, Stigmata Warriors, and the Stigmata Project that she so longed for.

She really doesn't have time.

[Others?]

Alicia truly hopes that everyone can unite as one and be as powerful as a dragon.

[But imaginary numbers are like the radical 氿〕¨咝←※錂∫｀三珸六￠⌒〕∝n: in mathematics, others may spend a lifetime working hard, but perhaps they are only giving geniuses an afternoon to verify their work.]

[Dr. Einstein, Mebius, Velvet, May, and Alicia's past dreams told her that the four of them, in a sense, represented the pinnacle of scholarship in this era.]

Mei's expression remained calm during the military tribunal.

She looked at Möbius in the distance. The senior had his head down and didn't seem worried. Dr. Ein sat on the other side, supporting his cheek with one fist and nodding his head.

Alicia didn't come; she couldn't come.

"...Are you sure she's still normal?"

Einstein nudged Möbius, who was standing nearby.

The symposium on the Mu continent back then was an exchange between Mebius and Mebius, but unfortunately, things are unpredictable and no one could have foreseen what would happen today.

"I believe in Mei."

Is trust only based on emotions?

Einstein nodded and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

The verdict is still under debate offstage; it's not a question of guilt or innocence, but rather the severity of the sentence.

"Everyone!"

May spoke calmly, interrupting her defense lawyer. She remarked that Einstein was quite remarkable, having found a lawyer who had managed to argue until now despite being at a significant disadvantage.

"Changkong City is my hometown. I believe that no one here is more heartbroken than me for what has happened."

No sooner had she finished speaking than someone retorted: "Miss Mei, but you helped the Lawyers, that's irrefutable evidence. You're aiding and abetting evil, you're trampling on everything in your hometown."

The other person's words were relatively calm, after all, Mei thought the other person would say something very harsh... Perhaps it was because of seeing her appearance that she subconsciously softened her tone a little.

"I am using the blood of my homeland to exchange for the possibility of ending the collapse of humanity."

"Is either of the top two Herrschers, Ryū and Sora, able to communicate normally?"

"Or are you betting that the Honkai won't give birth to any new Herrschers?"

This is impossible; this is the third collapse, and each one is more severe than the last.

Nobody knows when this will end. There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Too many people are researching how to drive away the Honkai.

"The disaster has already happened, something no one wanted to see, but instead of burying our heads in the sand and only offering empty platitudes afterward, and then dodging the question when asked about the true nature of the collapse..."

Mei looked around, then raised her chin: "Since no one wants to be the bad guy, then I'll be it."

[He should be convicted, but there was no sound on the surveillance footage that night.]
