Their commission was suspicious.

“Sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve rubbed Blackie’s little face.” Alicia nodded, then followed Velvi out of the bar.

“Speaking of which, Chen Luo, you’re quite extravagant. You even released a pseudo-black hole that enveloped the entire Pinocene… and it looks like you spent a lot of raw gems.” After the two left, Aha sat down and said.

"There's no other way. Too many beings were involved in this interference, including the entire life of Pinocene. And the world's consciousness is often restricted from making such direct interferences with life. So it's better for me to act on my own."

It's not that it's impossible, but rather that it's restricted.

A global consciousness tends to manage the world from a more macro perspective.

Just like the world consciousness of the fantasy world, it did not personally take action against Altair.

Ultimately, it's because the "cost" of directly taking action is too high, and it's even less worthwhile to let the time travelers continue their destruction.

How much meat can a fly eat? At most, it's just a bit of a nuisance.

This is why Chen Luo's "Heavenly" mechanism is considered to have great potential.

Because by utilizing the "Heavenly" mechanism, one can accomplish the most with the least amount of money.

"I've noticed some unusual activity among the members of the Genius Club. Did you do that?" Aha asked.

"I didn't do it myself, I just used a prop. If I had done it myself, I would have obtained far fewer elements of lies. It's you who's so perceptive in noticing these things."

The number of elements of a lie depends not only on the strength of the deceived, but also on whether the deception meets the "approval of the authority of lies".

Chen Luo doesn't understand these rather esoteric things, but some people do.

For example, puppeteers.

The puppeteer's advice is to prevent the "victims" from discovering that the mastermind is personally involved.

Even if you personally get involved, you have to make the "victims" feel that the mastermind is just one of the "victims".

Just like some film directors also act in movies, that's fine, but it shouldn't make the audience feel disconnected from the story.

Aha did this very well.

Aha had been secretly enjoying himself, but had never actually appeared in Pinocchio. However, Fireworks's magic lamp was one of the most important pieces in "Death of Pleasure".

“Why can’t I be quick to spot the Genius Club’s movements? What do you think I do every day?” Aha said.

"Uh... watching for fun?"

“Yeah, right. But where do we get the fun? To get the fun, we have to focus on some famous actors. Like you, or those geniuses,” Aha said.

"Then why aren't you having fun? What are you doing at the bar?"

“I was wondering… should I leave some last words or something?” Aha said.

The clone Aha was quite indifferent to his own demise, because Aha knew that Chen Luo's resurrection magic could revive people who had died within the last three days.

The real Aha would naturally be very curious about the dimensional sea, so he would often go out to play, but this world cannot be without the Pleasure Star God.

It would be more worthwhile for Chen Luo to spend another portion of the World Source to create a copy of himself and then revive himself.

"Last words? What last words? What are you up to now?" Chen Luo asked warily.

"For example: you want the power of the God of Pleasure? If you want it, I can give it all to you. Go find it! I've made all that power into a mask, and I've placed it in Pinocchio! The one who possesses it will become the new God of Pleasure!" Aha said with great interest.

That would have been a lot of fun! It's a pity I won't be able to see it for now.

To deceive a universe, or even the entire universe more than once...

The thought of this made Aha incredibly excited.

This is so delightful!

"...Honestly, you're going a bit too far."

"I'm doing this for you, aren't I? After all, didn't you want more people to come to the front row to watch the performance?" Aha said innocently.

“Even if they’re not in the front row, it’s not a big problem. At most, they’ll get a little less wish elements, okay? The entire universe can feel the fall of the Star God, so his audience is the whole universe. It’s just that those in Pinocchio see it more clearly and are more shocked, and that they get more lies. Don’t push everything onto me.” Chen Luo shook his head repeatedly.

It was clearly you who wanted to have more fun, how can you blame me for this? I just wanted the elements of a lie.

"Alright, alright, then I'll slightly modify my last words and change them to—'Place it deep within the starry sea,' and then usher in a great era of exploration! I'm sure my dear old friend Akivili would be very happy to see this."

"Come on, as if you didn't blow up the Star Train. You're the worst nameless guest ever."

"Oh, am I still a nobody? That's really interesting. Hahaha..."

"But even if you change that sentence, your last words will still attract a lot of people to Pinocchio. Because Pinocchio has the highest chance of success."

"I do not care."

"Tsk." Seeing Ah Ha's reckless behavior, Chen Luo was at a loss for what to do, since he couldn't come up with anything more entertaining than this.

"Fine, I'll give you a free service." Chen Luo sighed.

"What kind of business?" Aha asked curiously.

"...When you die, I'll ask the Guardian Star God to make a coffin for you in Pinocene, nail you inside, along with the entire Pinocene. This will ensure that you can only leave and never enter, and also protect Pinocene," Chen Luo said.

If watching a performance at Pinocchio means you're in the first row, then anything outside of Pinocchio is considered the second row—there's not much difference.

"Hahaha! Great, great, great, that sounds like a lot of fun!" Aha laughed happily.

Chapter 2247 Chen Luo: Vilvi, you can't move now, right?

"Klein, are you alright?" Chen Luo asked as he held Klein in his arms.

"It's alright. Thank you. The Herrscher of Binding is indeed terrifying." Klein, held in Chen Luo's arms, glanced at the distant scenery with lingering fear.

“After all, that’s the Lawbearer of Restraint…” Chen Luo also looked back.

That's right, the Lawbearer of Bindings has appeared.

This is not the first day that Chen Luo entered the pre-civilization "today".

The Eleventh Herald, the Herald of Binding, is an anti-Herald. It can create a barrier with a radius of 100 kilometers, within which all Honkai energy will be nullified, and other forms of energy will be weakened to varying degrees.

Fusion warriors implanted with Honkai Beast DNA will experience bodily dysfunction and die within a minute. Ordinary people are not much better off. If ordinary soldiers rush into the barrier, the voltage of their bioelectricity will disappear and they will die quickly, much faster than fusion warriors.

In the face of the Herrscher of Binding, Fusion Warriors are no different from ordinary soldiers, because the Herrscher of Binding was created specifically to target Fusion Warriors and weapons powered by Honkai energy.

Chen Luo also possesses the power of the Herrscher of Restraint, but he generally uses it as a tool for creating a range of silence barriers and for restraint play.

Because the power of the Lawbearer of Restraint can really easily cause the death of the other party.

"The most regrettable thing is that the Paradise Gold Coins and Bullets haven't been of any particular use. I wonder how much we'll have to pay this time to defeat the Herrscher of Restraint," Klein sighed.

This was also discovered through testing after attacking the Herrscher of Constraints.

Any weapon using electronic systems cannot function within the barrier, including weapons powered by Honkai energy.

Ordinary firearms were indeed unaffected, but no gun can shoot 100 kilometers away.

It can strike targets 100 kilometers away, but can only use electronic guidance. However, electronic weapons become ineffective within the confinement barrier.

Although theoretically, Paradise Coins don't even need to be made into the shape of bullets; they could be made into metal arrowheads and fired with a bow and arrow, but they still face the same dilemma—they simply can't be hit.

The area covered by the constraint barrier is too vast, and the Law of Constraints is the only being that can move freely within the constraint barrier.

Paradise Coins will definitely have some effect against the Herrscher of Binding, but you'll never actually encounter them.

The Paradise Gold Coin Bullet is best suited to deal with only two Herrschers: the Herrscher of Death, who is immortal, and the Herrscher of a Thousand, who are numerous in number.

In a sense, it can be argued that Paradise Gold Coin Bullets can only deal with targets that Feather Dust can deal with.

"There's only one way to defeat the Herald of Binding, and that's to use human lives. Because the area of ​​the Binding Barrier is too vast. But all of this is irrelevant to you now," Chen Luo said after setting Klein down.

"Should I leave?" Klein seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, but when it actually happened, she still felt a strange unease.

“Yes, you should leave, and many others should leave as well.” Chen Luo nodded.

The Armored Doll Klein was originally created by Mebius after Klein's death during the Tenth Herrscher era, but since Klein is still alive, it was not created.

However, it doesn't matter if the armed doll Klein appears a little later.

Besides Klein, there are many others who need to withdraw from this battle to subdue the eleventh Herrscher.

Desdobia, Hen, Blanca... these people who survived because of Chen Luo's changes should all return.

The Eleventh Herrscher incident is like Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace—it serves as a barrier, a good opportunity to "settle accounts."

However, Chen Luo wasn't happy about it.

However, the opportunity to be deified has already been prepared for them, which can be considered a small consolation for Chen Luo.

With so many empty spots on the Investiture of the Gods list, someone has to fill them, otherwise it would be a waste.

Moreover, becoming wish fulfillers in the future would be a good ending for them.

Sunshine always follows the storm. Although the dollification did cause some changes to the entire pre-civilization, since the Paradise Adventurers were an extension of Chen Luo, they would naturally become the first batch of Wish Walkers.

In a sense, Chen Luo also led the entire pre-civilization to achieve an essential upgrade in life. It can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Chen Luo had no intention of interfering with the Honkai Impact 3rd civilization.

"Luo, you've done very well," Klein said, trying to comfort Chen Luo, who seemed even more burdened than she was.

Perhaps it is more frustrating to see those who have the ability to save something stand idly by than to see those who have no ability to save anything stand idly by.

"Well, anyway, Klein, you should go back to the bar first. By the way, Klein, do you want to go to Paradise or St. Freya Academy?" Chen Luo asked casually.

"In the Land of the Past, there is Dr. Mebius; at St. Freya Academy, there are Cangxuan, Danzhu, Hen, Blanca, and others."

“Then let’s go to Paradise, but what about the armed doll Klein…” Klein hesitated.

Klein, like Mebius, is allowed to go to bars, but she is not very enthusiastic about them and always feels a sense of aversion to contact with armed dolls.

It's not that she rejects the armed doll Klein, but rather that she finds it hard to accept her fate.

Or rather... Klein was actually afraid that the armed doll Klein would reject her.

"Don't worry, little Klein will like you very much," Chen Luo comforted her.

"Phew, okay... then let's just treat it as a proper vacation." Klein breathed a sigh of relief after Chen Luo comforted her.

Klein used to be so busy with work because of her fear of the Honkai, so she tried to numb herself with work. Now that her fear of the Honkai has come to an end, it's time for her to rest.

After all, Klein, now a member of the Herrscher of a Thousand under Chen Luo's command, has become part of the Honkai. So there's nothing to fear anymore.

"A holiday? That seems a bit unlikely... With Möbius around, you probably won't have an easy time." Chen Luo's tone changed when Klein mentioned the word.

“…Lo, I’ve suddenly changed my mind. I want to go to St. Freya Academy to see Cangxuan and Danzhu first,” Klein suddenly said.

"Emmm... never mind, how about this, I'll have Spassy take you to Pinocchio, so you can relax in the dream world." Looking at this poor kid who hadn't rested for 365 days, Chen Luo sighed.

“Okay.” Klein nodded.

Wake up, you're not much better off. It's not like you have time to rest.

"..."

Chen Luo felt as if his heart had been pierced.

"Have fun in Pinocchio, I'm going back to collecting [corpses] now." Chen Luo said goodbye to Klein and then disappeared.

Klein has become Chen Luo's familiar and possesses some of the powers of the Herrscher of a Thousand, so there is no rush to write her name into the list of gods. Chen Luo has no plans for her. However, Chen Luo needs to find Hen and Blanca as soon as possible, or wait for them to die and be resurrected, and then send them to St. Freya Academy.

It's not a good idea to rely on Blanca and Scars to keep Gretchen company as she grows up.

"Didi"

Chen Luo's communicator rang.

"Doctor, are you alright? Where are you now?" Chen Luo had just connected the communicator when he heard Hua's extremely anxious voice.

As a fusion warrior, and one who has mastered the artificial collapse, Hua is occasionally assigned to complete some relatively simple tasks, even though Chen Luo possesses the Fifth Divine Key.

Hua learned about the Herald of Binding not long after he went out on a mission, so he was very worried about Chen Luo.

"Don't worry, it's fine. I'm controlling the edge of the barrier, it's perfectly safe," Chen Luo said.

"That's good, but Doctor, you'd better stay away from the edge of the barrier. Because Herrschers can move, and they will move with the restraining barrier." Hua Ding instructed, but didn't say anything else, just told Chen Luo to stay where he was and that he would go find him immediately.

Since the barrier is there, nothing will happen as long as you don't go in. The one who might get into trouble is Hua, because Hua is also going to participate in the battle against the Eleventh Herrscher.

The Eleventh Herrscher has already caused enormous damage to the previous civilization.

He destroyed nearly 60% of civilization, and that number will soon reach 70%.

The Herrscher of Binding can destroy civilizations very easily; all they need to do is travel around with their binding barriers. Wherever they go, power fails, machinery malfunctions, and life perishes. Plus, the Herrscher of Binding can fly, making them incredibly mobile…

Hua wasn't worried about whether Chen Luo was just putting on a brave face, because Chen Luo wasn't a fusion warrior. If he had really entered the barrier, he would have died soon, and Chen Luo's tone wouldn't have been so calm.
