Their commission was suspicious.

"I mean, that thing can actually transform. Although the transformed superhero can't even beat a Honkai Beast, it's really cool."

Where did you come from?

"Pick it up."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't." Alicia rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"It really was found."

Chen Luo found it in the Treasure Vault of Wealth.

Wealth Dao Fruit showed no anger, which suggests it tacitly agreed.

"Hmm, so what are you planning to give me? I haven't received a gift yet. I heard you even gave Sakura's sister, Rin, a rocking horse toy." Alicia asked, staring at Chen Luo.

"Didn't I give you a gift before? It was that... that Crystal Flower Goddess Key, don't you remember?" Chen Luo reminded him.

“Didn’t you give me that a long time ago? These two things aren’t the same thing, so of course you have to give me another one. Besides, didn’t you say that you would give me that thing completely after using it once?” Alicia said.

"I'm giving it to you now. I don't think I'll ever need it," Chen Luo said.

Because Chen Luo could simply take the substitute, the Wish Star God, and use it as a prop.

However, what's important here isn't actually the Wish Star God, but rather its ability to be used as a kaleidoscope, serving as a vessel for impressions.

If Alicia really wants it, Chen Luo should just free up the "Impression" first.

Moreover, the Wish Star God naturally has many other people's impressions of Chen Luo, even involving hundreds of billions or trillions of living beings.

However, in Fantasy Key of Gods, other people's impressions of Chen Luo will occupy a more important place in the Wish Star God, while other beings' impressions of the Wish Star God Chen Luo will only account for a portion of the total.

Outsiders' impressions of you are one thing, but your friends' impressions are even more important.

While outsiders' impressions of the Star God are part of Chen Luo's "real" self, they are very likely to be overly embellished.

"But you still forgot to prepare a gift for me."

"What are your thoughts?" Seeing Alicia's insistence on Chen Luo, he suspected that she had already planned something.

"Give me Dr. Mebius!"

"How about I give myself to you? You still have your eye on Dr. Möbius... I want more."

"Okay."

"What did you say?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you say you were going to give yourself to me? I agree, I'll accept this gift."

"Oh, I see. I'll send you a beautiful standee of mine tomorrow."

"whispering sound."

"Your tone sounds like you're mocking me for being a coward, but you didn't give me a gift either."

"My gift is still in the planning stages, it doesn't mean I'm not going to give it to you."

"What gift?" Chen Luo was genuinely curious.

"It's a secret." Seeing that Chen Luo had finally become curious, Alicia's lips curled into a mysterious smile.

"Who cares to know?" Chen Luo turned his face away.

"Oh no, I'm in a hurry!"

"I'm not in a hurry!"

“Yes, yes, yes. Speaking of which, Lolo, all the heroes in the Paradise of the Past have left behind their memories. Now, among the thirteen heroes, you are the only one who has nothing to do. So if you have nothing to do, remember to go and keep them company. Don't let them be too lonely, especially me.” Alicia said, resting her chin on her hand.

"Isn't the Paradise of the Past World so vast that it became far beyond imagination because of the convergence of the memories of the thirteen heroes? How could it be boring?"

“Boredom and loneliness are two different things,” Alicia reminded her.

"Okay, I understand, but why are you explaining these things in such a tone as if you're making your final decisions?"

“After all, the war has entered a critical stage, and we’re living in constant uncertainty, aren’t we? Of course, we have to live each day as if it were our last. Fortunately, the Twelfth Herrscher hasn’t appeared yet, so we still have some free time.” Alicia sighed.

Among everyone, even Chen Luo, whom Alicia called an idle person, was only called that because his work position was not fixed.

Chen Luo is capable of doing everything, but he is not an indispensable leader for every part of the organization.

Chen Luo would occasionally help Velvi design weapons and shelters, occasionally participate in the Stigmata Project, occasionally perform a fusion surgery, and sometimes go to the Second Divine Key to observe parallel worlds, help Alicia, Kevin, and Eden adjust, maintain, and repair the Divine Key, and observe the Void Treasury that has never been created since it was created.

Regarding the current state of the First Divine Key, it can only be said that Virvi had too high expectations for it, wanting to input all the knowledge of civilizations into it. However, the First Divine Key's ability to deconstruct all things can only reach its limit under such circumstances, resulting in the First Divine Key remaining unused until now.

Some pessimists now believe that the First Key to God may only serve to leave a spark for the next civilization after this one fails.

I wonder what kind of backdoor that Vilvie, the designer who always leaves backdoors in her designs, has left in the Void Treasury.

“Being so pessimistic isn’t good. And even if we don’t make it in the end… never mind, compared to that, which plan do you think is more promising, Ellie?” Chen Luo asked.

“Project Fireseed,” Alicia blurted out.

"Isn't Project Ark good?"

“Project Ark…that project that was ultimately developed through research on the heart of the Thousand Calamities? Kosmo’s abilities are indeed well-suited to executing Project Ark, because he possesses limitless potential. It’s just that there are a lot of uncertainties,” Alicia said.

Alicia had heard of Project Ark, but the spaceships for Project Ark weren't even finished yet, and the inspiration for building the ships came partly from her research on the heart of Thousand Calamities.

The uniqueness of Qian Jie goes without saying. He was able to kill a Herrscher without becoming a Fusion Warrior, so his strength needs no further explanation. The price he paid for becoming a Fusion Warrior on the battlefield during the Herrscher of Binding incident was the loss of his heart. His heart had a very special quality that prevented him from becoming a Fusion Warrior.

There are vague rumors that Qianjie is actually a being from outer space.

Alicia thought it was very likely, but she didn't care.

Alicia was concerned that Kosmo might not be willing to carry out Project Ark. Alicia knew her comrade's personality.

"That is a problem. Maybe the spaceship won't even be able to leave the solar system."

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Alicia was skeptical.

"Theoretically speaking, from the perspective of Earthlings, the Earth revolves around the Sun, with the Sun steadily resting at the center. However, from a scientific perspective, it is actually the Sun that is traveling rapidly through the universe with its several smaller planets. But many planets, due to gravity, always revolve around the Sun."

“I know, so what do you want to say?” Alicia tilted her head.

"I'm wondering if there's a possibility that something could act as a protective shield for the solar system, preventing other strange and unsavory things from entering it? And even if we find a new habitable planet and encounter other civilizations, they might not necessarily be friends; they could be enemies," Chen Luo said.

"Hmm... then how did you fall to Earth?" Alicia was just about to think when she realized that Chen Luo wasn't actually from this world.

“This is different. I’m from another world, not another planet.” Chen Luo shook his head.

“I have a bold idea.” Alicia held up one finger.

"Stop your audacious idea." A sudden sense of alarm arose in Chen Luo's heart.

"Don't be so shy, you probably already guessed what I want to ask. Lolo, there are only the two of us in the rest area right now. Take off your clothes and let me see the difference between people from this world and people from another world. Don't worry, I'll just look, I won't do anything." Alicia's face was slightly flushed.

He seemed to have become even more arrogant because he couldn't hold his liquor.

After all, drunk people are often capable of doing outrageous things and still be forgiven, especially when the drink was mixed by the victim.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the other person is faking being drunk or is genuinely drunk.

"No." Chen Luo took a step back.

"let me see."

"No, I am no different from normal people in terms of physical structure."

"How do you know there's absolutely no difference? What if there really is?" Alicia grabbed Chen Luo.

"Nonsense, I'm a biomedical PhD, how could I not know? I don't think you understand anything."

"But I believe that practice makes perfect..."

"No."

"whispering sound."

Alicia really didn't dare to do anything reckless in this small bar, after all, there were surveillance cameras here, and it was Alicia who suggested installing them.

"Oh no, something's happened!" Just as Chen Luo and Alicia were enjoying their free time chatting idly, Pado rushed in from outside the lounge in a panic.

"Little Paddy, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Okay, take a break and catch your breath. You're one of the Thirteen Heroes, you need to stay calm in the face of adversity." Alicia quickly grabbed a glass of water from the side.

There was still water in the lounge, after all, there were still children among the Thirteen Heroes.

"Gudu."

Pado, panting heavily, leaned against the table and drank the water Alicia brought her in one gulp. After a couple of seconds, she said in a panic, "Something's wrong, Alicia, and the boss. Rin's in trouble. She's Sakura's sister."

"Ling's in trouble? How could that be? What happened?"

“Rin was just identified as the Twelfth Herrscher by the Flame Chaser. Because this identity is so special, but Rin hasn’t shown any abilities yet, the higher-ups at the Flame Chaser are discussing how to handle her. Kevin doesn’t have the authority to make a decision, so he sent me to you, Alice,” Pado said.

The reason for not notifying Alicia via text message was twofold: firstly, the distance was not far and Pado was fast; secondly, Kevin specifically asked Pado, who had gotten caught up in the commotion while watching, to inform Alicia privately.

Because Kevin represents May in some respects, and while May is now the leader of the Firemoth, she is not the only high-ranking member. Otherwise, the proposal of the Thirteen Heroes of Firemoth would not have failed.

The reason for the secret notification is that the current moths drawn to the flame can no longer withstand the chaos in people's hearts.

"What?!" Alicia exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the news.

……

“That’s how it is. Unlike other Herrschers, although a violent Honkai energy reaction was detected in Rin’s body, she doesn’t have any special abilities, and she still retains human consciousness.” Mei said to everyone in a meeting room of the Firemoth.

“Then release my sister. Dr. Mei, you promised me you would protect my sister, which is why I joined the Firemoth in the first place,” Sakura said, clenching her fists.

As Sakura spoke, her gaze also fell upon a tablet computer being held by Prometheus 17. The tablet displayed surveillance footage of the cell where Sakura's sister, Rin, was imprisoned.

At this moment, Ling is being imprisoned on the 33rd floor underground of the Firemoth base. In the surveillance footage, Ling sits helplessly and vulnerable on a bed, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

“I know, so I didn’t hurt her.” Mei nodded.

In fact, Sakura was right. As an assassin, Sakura once tried to assassinate Dr. Mei, but failed because of Kevin and was imprisoned.

The reason Dr. Mei recruited Sakura was because Sakura learned from Dr. Mei that the Honkai would descend more than once, and Sakura, as a sword, could not protect her sister, but Mei could.

“But Rin is still a child, she did nothing wrong.” Sakura said, somewhat agitated.

Sakura could see through the monitoring system that although Rin looked somewhat lonely and scared, her body had not been abused in any way.

Sakura also knew that this was indeed a rare opportunity for the Fire Moth organization, and Dr. Mei was naturally part of the reason for it.

However, as a member of the Fire Moth, Sakura never hesitates to speculate about the Fire Moth with the utmost malice.

Sakura also knew that the reason she wasn't killing Rin immediately was simply because she needed to study Rin.

According to Dr. May and the super AI Prometheus's calculations, there are a total of 14 Herrschers, and the power of the 14th Herrscher will far surpass that of the others. Humanity's fate in the face of the "Last Herrscher" is only annihilation.

In order to gain a glimmer of hope, Dr. Mei naturally needed to acquire all available resources.

Sakura understands that Dr. Mei will definitely imprison Rin, but understanding doesn't mean accepting it.

For Sakura, the most important person is Rin.

Moths that chase fire are a group of beings who are never afraid of bearing infamy and are capable of conducting any kind of experiment.

Therefore, for her sister's safety, Sakura could not accept her sister being imprisoned.

Because in this way, his younger sister could be in danger at any time.

“I know she did nothing wrong, but a violent Honkai energy reaction was detected. You know what that means. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the soldiers guarding her won’t harm her. Because the triggering conditions for a Herrscher are uncertain, it would be foolish to kill such an unconventional Herrscher immediately, so you don’t need to worry about your sister’s safety, really,” Dr. Mei tried to reassure her.

For Dr. Mei, Sakura was the first veteran to join the team she created, and she had been a great help to him. They also had a good relationship, so she would naturally take care of her if she could.

Most importantly, killing Rin without knowing the situation could cause problems, which is why Dr. May wouldn't harm her.

"But..." Sakura wanted to say something else?

“Kevin, take Sakura to calm down,” Dr. Mei interrupted.

“Sakura, let’s go. Don’t worry, Rin won’t have any problems in the short term. You should know that this kind of abnormal Herrscher makes people hesitant to act rashly,” Kevin said with a sigh.

Seeing his friend's dejected expression, Kevin was also in a bad mood, but... the bigger picture was more important.

"..." Sakura's gaze lingered on the Divine Key she possessed for half a second before she looked away. Then, at Kevin's signal, she left the office without causing any conflict.

Firstly, Sakura knew she was no match for Kevin; secondly, she knew how difficult it was to enter the Moth of Flames base, especially the 33rd underground level; and thirdly, Dr. May had indeed been protecting her sister, and Sakura and Dr. May had a good relationship, so she never considered harming Dr. May.

Therefore, there is no point in staying in this office.

However, Sakura's trust in Dr. Mei doesn't mean she trusts the Moth of Flame. And if anything happens, Dr. Mei might become untrustworthy.

Sakura trusts and understands the Fire Moth too much, which is why she is absolutely unwilling to leave her younger sister here, but all of this needs to be considered carefully.

Dr. Mei made a very good point: at least in the short term, Sakura's sister will not be in danger.
