Their commission was suspicious.

"magnificent……"

The voice was so weak that Fu Hua initially thought it was an illusion, but the real strength of the grip on her arm instantly dispelled her suspicions, and she looked at the woman in her arms.

"Captain." The call that had traveled through 5 years rang out at this moment.

The one who understood the law quietly watched from the sidelines, without rushing up to disturb the two.

The Herald of Consciousness, who is usually quite unconventional, seemed to have become a different person at this moment.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Alright, you two, stop being so lovey-dovey and separate now." Unexpectedly, Chen Luo suddenly appeared next to Fu Hua.

"Luo, thank you." Fu Hua's gaze towards Chen Luo was extremely complex, so much so that even Chen Luo, the Herrscher of Knowledge, couldn't fathom the range of emotions conveyed in her eyes.

"Oh, you said thank you, and I'm really happy about that, but if we don't leave soon, we'll really be discovered," Chen Luo said, patting Fu Hua on the shoulder.

After Chen Luo spoke, Himiko, who had collapsed in Fu Hua's arms, looked up at Chen Luo.

A person I've never met before.

But Himiko recognized him.

Puppet maker Chen Luo.

In that instant, Himiko realized her true identity.

Himiko is a person who has already been personified by Chen Luo.

The other party's time was indeed reversed, but the fact that the other party was completely turned into a puppet could not be changed.

Just like when Morgan was turned into a puppet, Chen Luo found that the other party still could not be resurrected by the resurrection ability. After using [Time] to go back, the puppetization of the other party was not reversed.

Time does not have a negative impact on users.

It wouldn't be right for Chen Luo to use his time-manipulation ability to revive the other party, only to be betrayed by them in the end.

At that time, Chen Luo transformed the other person into a doll in order to repair the other person's body.

Even now, the dollification hasn't lost its significance, because to fully maintain Himiko's existence, the dollification function is still needed.

"Luo, why is the captain so weak right now?" Fu Hua asked.

"Because she doesn't have a Herrscher core inside her. It's no wonder that a Herrscher whose Herrscher core has been taken is weak," Chen Luo said helplessly.

That's right, the flames just now weren't the full-fledged Flame Herrscher of Fire's fiery flames, otherwise they wouldn't have been so easy to suppress.

"Hmm?" Fu Hua instantly became alert.

"The reason the other party doesn't have a Herrscher Core isn't because my time ability prevents me from returning it. I did this intentionally out of necessity. But don't worry, you guys go back to the bar first. Give me five minutes, and I'll get you a Herrscher Core." Chen Luo said as he pushed open the bar door.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll restore this lab." Chen Luo urged Fu Hua, Himiko, and the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Looking at the weak Himiko in her arms, Fu Hua chose to trust Chen Luo, and then helped Himiko walk towards the bar door that was just a stone's throw away, with the Herrscher of Knowledge following closely behind.

After the three of them left and closed the bar door, Chen Luo's magic surged.

Fortunately, Chen Luo had learned about restoration magic in Estelle's magic.

So Chen Luo spent a very short time combining alchemy to successfully restore the empty operating room to its original state.

"Let's go, Snake, let's steal the Herrscher core." After repairing the laboratory, Chen Luo grabbed Mebius's hand and ran out of the laboratory.

"..."

Möbius certainly never imagined that he, as the holder of the No. 1 medal of the Fire Moth, would one day be caught stealing from his own post.

Chen Luo is guilty of heinous crimes!

Chapter 591 Himiko, Broken and Played

"What can I do? I'm desperate too. Although it's possible to reverse time and bring the Herrscher of Flame's core back into Himiko's body, the key is that we can't do that." Chen Luo complained softly as he followed Mebius through the Moths of Flame.

"After all, the core of the Herrscher of Flame was placed in a safe and secure location, and there were surveillance cameras nearby."

The core of the Herrscher of Flame is currently within the engineering department of the Flame Chaser organization, and is under constant surveillance.

If they disappear

……

The ability to time travel can indeed allow the core of the Herrscher of Flame to return to Himiko's body.

But don't even think about reversing time to make a new Herrscher of Flame core reappear inside Himiko's body.

Since time is reversed through the overall river of time in this world, then the core of the Herrscher of Flame is inherently connected to Himiko.

So don't even think about that fancy trick of taking a Herrscher Core out of Himiko's body, then reversing time to make her generate a Herrscher Core, and then taking out another Herrscher Core.

It is not only inhumane, but also impractical.

Chen Luo feared that the law-abiding official would forbid him from going to bed with his wife.

However, if you don't use public passages, it seems possible to reverse your time in another world using a private VIP passage.

However, the time required would be several times longer then.

For Chen Luo, time cannot be bought or sold, but the core of the Lawyer can.

If Chen Luo really hardened his heart and used Honkai Crystals or top-grade spirit stones as materials, and then used the Void Treasury to create a Herrscher Core, he could also create a true Herrscher Core.

But time is a true limited edition item.

Therefore, Chen Luo gave Himiko the time to reverse the situation down to the second.

It took her back to a time shortly after she became a Herrscher.

They returned to a time when the other person's humanity still existed, only it was gradually being suppressed by the Honkai.

Himiko retained her humanity throughout, but she was not free.

For various reasons, Chen Luo chose to restore Himiko's body to its original state as if she were still alive, but without taking the Herrscher core.

Chen Luo felt that if he really put the Herrscher core back into Himiko's body, the threat level would definitely explode.

Without the core of the Herrscher of Flame, Heavenly Fire cannot be created, and Kevin will have no suitable weapon.

The importance of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire is self-evident; every generation of Kaslana wields this greatsword of pure love.

Other Herrscher cores and Divine Keys may not be this important, but it's normal for the entire history to collapse without the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

Without the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, could Siegfried have killed Sirin?

As for where Himiko should get the Herrscher core she needs now?

Now take a look at the Herrscher Core, then throw it into the river and copy it into three copies. Wouldn't that give Himiko an extra Herrscher Core?

While a golden one is unlikely to exist, a silver Herrscher core would be enough for Himiko.

She might even be stronger than Himiko before.

The core of the Herrscher was returned to the monitoring room of the Firemoth, to be used to create the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

The Herrscher Core isn't really necessary for Chen Luo, since he already has the Plague Gem.

It's not that anyone who obtains a Herrscher Core can become a Herrscher. This thing has adaptability, and if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem appropriate to give it to anyone.

Therefore, having one Herrscher core is really enough for each type of Herrscher.

"Isn't that Mebius? What's he doing here so late at night?" Just as Chen Luo and his group approached the laboratory containing the core of the Herrscher of Flame, a voice rang out.

“Vilvie?” Mebius turned to look at the newcomer.

"What are you doing here, Mebius? I remember you weren't really interested in the Herrscher core, Dr. Mebius, but you seem quite interested in the Herrscher's body." Velvi walked up to Mebius and asked with interest.

"What? Can't I even take a look at the Herrscher Core? As for you, don't you usually not work overtime at night? Or are you in your own workshop? Why are you suddenly here? You shouldn't be at the stage of creating the Seventh Divine Key yet, right?" Mebius glanced at Velvi.

“Well… that’s true. Logically speaking, I should be in my own workshop right now, not in the engineering department, but the problem is that I just received a report that the core of the Herrscher of Flame is showing unusual agitation, so I came to check it out,” Velvet said.

“Unusual agitation?” Möbius frowned slightly.

"Yes, according to the monitoring personnel, the Herrscher core seemed to be cheering and jumping for joy, and flames were spewing from its surroundings, causing the temperature to rise sharply. However, this phenomenon just disappeared," Velvet said.

"Is that so? Then that's all, I'll be going now." Möbius nodded and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. Mebius, we finally get to see each other, let's talk for a bit."

"I don't recall you being such a talkative person. If you're being overly solicitous, there's something fishy going on. So, what do you want to ask?"

"Uh, I can tell? That...you know...that cutie from your lab, the one named Luo, does he have any favorite things?" Wilvi asked a little shyly.

“…What do you want to do?” Mebius narrowed his eyes when he heard Vervies flick Chen Luo.

“Don’t look at me like that. I just want to get some information about him. I haven’t seen such an enthusiastic audience eager for magic shows in a long time. Naturally, I want to prepare a big surprise for him, and gathering information is an important part of that. Of course, if you really want to send him to my department, I don’t mind. I feel he has a talent for mechanical research,” Velvi said directly.

“…Then go find Cangxuan and Danzhu. Their intelligence should be more abundant than mine.” Möbius glanced to his right and then said.

"Come on, in the entire Firemoth organization, you're probably the only one who really knows your little assistant, right? Apart from him, nobody knows anything about his past." Velvi looked unconvinced.

“Undeniably, but you need to know, surprises only work when the other person is unprepared and unaware.”

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Literal meaning."

Floating beside Mebius, watching Velvie who kept saying she was going to give him a surprise, Chen Luo pondered for a moment before continuing to drift toward the place where the core of the Herrscher of Flame was stored.

Chen Luo remained in stealth mode, hovering beside Mebius, and clearly heard Vilvie's scheme.

In a sense, Virvi was right; Chen Luo's talent in mechanics might be greater than his talent in human experimentation.

Using his stealth abilities and the Thread of Fate, Chen Luo pierced through various defenses to reach the laboratory where the core of the Herrscher of Flame was stored. After glancing at the comprehensive surveillance cameras, Chen Luo pondered for a moment before exiting the laboratory and then revealing himself.

When Chen Luo is in a stealthy, virtual state, he cannot affect the existence of the main world, just as the existence of the main world cannot affect Chen Luo.

After using the Herrscher of Erosion's ability to erode the network from a blind spot, Chen Luo felt safe to re-enter the virtual stealth state, pass through the wall, and then unhesitatingly picked up the Herrscher Core that was well placed in the laboratory. He then summoned a river and threw the Herrscher Core into it.

After Chen Luo threw the Herrscher of Flame core into the river he had summoned, he was summoned again.

When they emerged from the river, they already had three Herrscher Cores in their hands.

As expected, the golden Herrscher core was still about to disappear, while the silver Herrscher core lay obediently in Chen Luo's hand.

Chen Luo felt heartbroken as he watched the golden green core about to disappear.

This parting is now, and I don't know when we will meet again.

By the time Chen Luo unlocks his talent cap to the point where he can replicate the Golden Herrscher Core, the Herrscher of Flame core in his hand might already have been crafted into Heavenly Fire.

Then we'll truly never see the golden core of the Herrscher of Flame.

However, it's not a big problem, since Chen Luo himself also has a Herrscher of Flame core from the Second Civilization Era.

……

"I never expected this. When I went to retrieve the Herrscher of Flame's core, I actually managed to retrieve both the Herrscher of Ice's core and the Herrscher of Death's core. Tsk tsk."

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If the Fifth Divine Key had already been created, we wouldn't be so short-handed in dealing with the Herrscher of Flame, and we wouldn't have had to resort to the Fusion Warrior program." After returning to the bar, Chen Luo looked at the core in his hand and said.

Chen Luo possesses two cores: one is the silver core of the Herrscher of Flame, and the other is the silver core of the Herrscher of Ice.

Chen Luo found three Lawyer Cores in the Engineering Department.

Chen Luo had already tossed the silver version of the Herrscher of Death's core into his backpack.

Although Chen Luo already possessed the core of the Herrscher of Death, namely the Tranquility Gem, he wouldn't mind having another item in his collection.

The creation of the Divine Key requires a great deal of manpower and resources.

It's not that you can turn someone else's Herrscher Core into a Divine Key just because you've obtained it.

"Now it seems like all I'm missing are the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Geo cores."

The good news is that Chen Luo might actually be able to unlock his talent ceiling before the Herrscher of Flame's core is made into a Divine Key.

Because it will be quite some time before the core of the Herrscher of Flame is made into the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

The bad news is that Chen Luo just remembered that since the Divine Keys are all made from Herrscher Cores, if Chen Luo chooses to obtain the silver version of the Herrscher Core, then Chen Luo will not be able to obtain the silver version of the Divine Key.

Hmm, should I choose the Herrscher Core or the Divine Key?

this is a problem.

After a moment's thought, Chen Luo made a decision.
