The shimmering light posed an increasing threat to her. Although she couldn't connect to the outside world, Shigure Kira still had a way to use the auxiliary program built into the Emperor's Declaration.
"How long until that thing explodes?"
Without hesitation, she asked the Emperor's question, and without the slightest delay, Hughes, the symbol of imperial power, answered: "20 seconds, 19 seconds..."
Upon hearing this, Shigure Kira felt like swearing: "What will happen if we enter Shelter No. 3 here?"
"Based on the results of the inspection of Shelter No. 3, Shelter No. 3 will place you in a safe space. As the fragment of the suspected object codenamed Cosmic Cube in the database explodes, you will be destroyed along with that space."
How to do
Shiyu Kira's mind raced, and the voice of the tomb raider from earlier echoed in her head.
That knife!
Without hesitation, he rushed towards the direction of the Yama Blade, but at that moment, a group of mechanical guards suddenly approached slowly from a distance.
"Due to the impact of the battle, it appears that some of the mechanical guards within the base have gone out of control. Please be careful."
The voice of the Holy Tomb of Hughes rang out at this moment, and for some reason, Yu Qiluo detected a hint of wickedness in the voice.
"Qiluo, I'll go stop those guys."
Without hesitation, Hei Tang rushed towards the mechanical guards, giving Shigure Kira time to master the Yama Blade.
"14 seconds, 13 seconds."
At this moment, the Emperor's Declaration was still reporting the remaining time of the explosion, and Shigure Kira accelerated towards the direction of Enma Blade.
Grasping the Yama Blade, Shigure Kira was fortunate that she was perhaps born to wield all kinds of weapons, and this weapon did not resist her much.
She tried to cleave space with the Yama Blade, but Shigure Kira quickly realized something.
The space here seemed unusually resilient; at most, I could only create a tiny crack.
"Beware of what just happened. To prevent situations like tomb raiders escaping, the Holy Tomb has undergone spatial maintenance and upgrades."
The voice of the Holy Tomb AI, which seemed to have anticipated this outcome, rang out again, as if it wanted to enjoy the dying struggle of the two beings imprisoned within the Holy Tomb.
Her impatience grew stronger, and after a moment's thought, Shigure Kira decided to try another method.
"This is a huge gamble!"
Without hesitation, she said it, and in the next instant, she used the Yama Blade to cut a crack, a crack that made it impossible for her and Black Sugar to pass through.
The purpose of this rift is not for escape, but to guide the connection of the Sanctuary AI.
As long as the Sanctuary AI connects to the Emperor's Declaration, everything will be alright. Perhaps the Sanctuary AI can suppress or hinder the Sacred Tomb AI, helping me and Black Sugar escape.
"Link complete, identity and permissions confirmed, Queen."
A high-energy object has been detected; the explosion is 11 seconds away. Please evacuate immediately.
The moment the connection was established, the Sanctuary AI immediately issued a warning to Shigure Kira.
Upon hearing the warning, Shigure Kira's face darkened. Why wasn't she leaving? Was it because she didn't want to?
Of course not. The reason they didn't evacuate was simple: they simply had no other choice.
"Sanctuary AI, can you interfere with the Sacred Tomb's AI?"
Shi Yu Qiluo asked with a glimmer of hope, but the next reply from the Emperor's Declaration in her hand was like the tolling of a bell in despair:
"Unfortunately, the Holy Tomb AI is difficult to breach, and I cannot offer any assistance at this time."
Hope was followed by despair. Yamato could not create a way to send him and Black Sugar away, and the idea of AI fighting AI had been shattered.
"Is there... any other way?"
Shi Yu Qi Luo asked with a bitter tone, "Is my future legendary idol, Qi Luo Xing, going to be buried in the tomb of Hei Tang and her race?"
Searching...
The sound of the search engine rang out at that moment, followed by the timer of the Emperor's declaration.
"9 seconds... 8 seconds..."
Thanks to the enhancements from the weapons, Shigure Kira's thinking and reaction speed can far surpass that of ordinary humans, though of course, it still can't reach the level of the Flash.
However, this level of speed is utterly insignificant in the face of the rapidly approaching countdown: 6 seconds.
Time passed slowly, and by this time, all the mechanical guards that had come had been destroyed by Black Sugar.
Just when Shigure Kira and Black Sugar thought this would be their final resting place, the Sanctuary AI gave them a hopeful answer:
"Retrieval complete. The power of the Cosmic Cube fragment can be suppressed using the Crown of Hughes. The Crown of Hughes is located in the core layer of the Sacred Tomb of Hughes. The map has been displayed."
Having quickly memorized the map, Black Sugar and Shigure Kira, who had been working together for many years, easily guessed each other's plans.
With the help of the Black Death Sword, Black Sugar, whose body structure resembled black mist and who was no longer a normal member of the Hughes clan, rushed towards the location of the crown marked on the map without hesitation.
The two, who had experienced countless setbacks in the Sea of Quanta, certainly understood the importance of not giving up hope for life.
The black mist contained the death and devouring power of the Black Death Sword, and this form was easier for brown sugar to travel through than liquid or solid.
In the fifth second, just one second later, the brown sugar had already arrived at the core area of the Holy Tomb.
For something like brown sugar, the speed of traveling is not necessarily slower than the speed of thinking about where to go.
Quickly sensing everything around it that was rich in energy, the brown sugar soon found a magnificent crown.
One of the sacred artifacts of the Hughes clan, the Hughes Crown
"Qiluo, it's time to go!"
Through the part of "herself" left inside Shigure Kira's body, Black Sugar's voice rang in Shigure Kira's mind.
"Ta-da, leave it to me!"
Holding the Yamato Blade, he swung it without hesitation. The next moment, the power of separation erupted, opening up a tiny crack. On the other side of the crack, Black Sugar threw the crown over without hesitation.
"AI, what should we do next?"
Shiyu Kira asked without hesitation, and the next moment two voices rang out at the same time.
"Head to Vault Three."
"Locate the fragment of the Cosmic Cube at the center of the crown, and hold the Emperor's Declaration in hand."
Shigure Kira, of course, did not hesitate to listen to anyone. After doing as the Sanctuary AI said, Shigure Kira grasped the Emperor's Declaration and inserted it into the corridor in front of the crown and the cosmic cube fragment in the center.
Golden threads emanated from the Emperor's Declaration, seemingly manipulating the crown and the fragments of the Cosmic Cube.
"It is expected that it will take some time for the effects to take effect."
"4 seconds."
The voices of the Sanctuary AI and the auxiliary program sounded simultaneously, and Shigure Kira swallowed hard, realizing that it was time to gamble with her life.
He could only gamble that the Sacred Domain AI could suppress this thing before it exploded.
The terrifying energy emanated a threat of death; the explosion of the Cosmic Cube was enough to instantly obliterate Shigure Kira and Black Sugar.
At this moment, Heitang also rushed over from the deepest part, took Shigure Kira's hand with her own, and prepared to face the fate of survival or death together with her partner.
"Brown sugar...I..."
As they parted, Shigure Kira looked at her companion and seemed to want to say something.
The two beings gripped the hilt of the Emperor's Declaration sword tightly. Upon hearing this, Black Sugar seemed to have triggered something strange, and Su Nuwanye subconsciously responded with, "I loved you."
"Who asked you that? I just wanted to know if you ate the pudding in my fridge!"
At this moment, Shigure Kira's face darkened and she retorted without hesitation. Hearing this, Heitang helplessly replied, "Looks like you've been found out. You're not the type to completely forget things, are you?"
As the two talked, time continued to move forward without stopping for them.
Honkai Impact 3rd Year: Chapter 1455: Oh no, Kira ran away without paying the bill!
"Three seconds, two seconds, one second..."
The voice of the Emperor's Declaration auxiliary program echoed continuously in the silent Holy Tomb. The moment they heard it, Shiyu Kira and Heitang realized that they were probably really going to fail this time.
In their final moments, the two instinctively looked at each other, wanting to imprint the image of their comrade-in-arms, who had shared countless dangerous battlefields with them, into their minds at the last moment of their lives.
"zero......"
"Deactivation complete."
Just when the two had given up hope of survival, the voice of the Sanctuary AI rang out.
"AI, you're so amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Shigure Kira stood up excitedly. Who would want to die if they could live?
Excitement, that's the only word right now.
A sense of relief at surviving the ordeal filled Shigure Kira's heart, but compared to Shigure Kira at this moment, Heitang's attitude was more decisive.
With the Black Death Sword entangled by tentacles, Black Sugar asked the Sacred Domain AI without hesitation, "Where is the Sacred Tomb AI's database?"
She wasn't going to let the fact that he almost killed her go unpunished. "No one leaves a grudge unavenged, no one is a true Hughes," she thought. And now... humph, the end of Hughes's Holy Tomb has come.
The Sacred Domain AI has absolutely no intention of protecting this traitorous AI.
Guided by the Sacred Domain AI, Black Sugar and Shiyu Kira successfully destroyed the core of the Sacred Tomb AI, freeing a certain "artificial intelligence".
That's right, artificial intelligence.
In fact, the Holy Sepulchre has no AI at all.
The so-called Holy Tomb AI is just an act by the omnipotent working-class fairy, Xiao Kong...
"Hey boss, how was my style just now? I think I have a real talent for playing villains!"
In the laboratory, the figure of Fairy Xiao Kong suddenly appeared.
Qi Mo gave the fairy Xiao Kong a thumbs up without hesitation, not wanting to dampen the child's enthusiasm: "Not bad, the Little Golden Man of the Year in the Netherworld, I think you deserve it."
"Hmph, as expected of me."
Fairy Xiao Kong put her hands on her hips and said confidently.
"By the way, the part about the perverse sense of humor could be improved a bit more; it would be even more effective at fooling people."
Qi Mo thought for a moment and mentioned a shortcoming that could be improved. At this moment, the system's voice complained: "Why does it feel like you, host, are corrupting the flowers of the Pure Land of Night?"
Shigure Kira and her group were unaware of what was happening in the laboratory. As the core of the Holy Tomb was destroyed, not only the Holy Tomb AI was destroyed, but the structure of the Holy Tomb itself also began to collapse.
"It doesn't seem like a solution to keep Hughes's crown here any longer; the power sealed within it is extremely dangerous."
Looking at the collapsed environment around her, Shigure Kira thought for a moment and said this.
"Those tomb raiders might turn back. It's too risky to leave this here. It's better to move it to the Holy Land."
Hei Tang agreed, and upon hearing this, Shi Yu Qi Luo pondered for a moment and said, "However, we should inform everyone first, since it will probably take some time to fly from here to the Holy Land using the Starlight Ship."
As she spoke, Shigure Kira picked up the communication device created by those beings, including Mebius Vervier.
"The Sanctuary can directly accommodate the micro-dimension where the Holy Tomb is located, and transfer that dimension directly into the Sanctuary according to the Laws of Hughes."
The voice of the Sanctuary AI rang out at this moment, and Black Sugar and Shigure Kira did not intend to refuse.
However, Shigure Kira seemed unaware that her communication device was actually not turned on at all.
Earth, silence is the only word for the Snow Wolf Squad at this moment.
Looking at the shopkeeper in front of them, a cold sweat broke out on everyone's back.
Bad, really bad.
Qiluo, Heitang, where have you all gone?!
The Snow Wolf Squad members were at a loss for words; they couldn't very well just dine and dash.
That's right, Shigure Kira felt good leaving, but she forgot that although she nominally treated everyone, she hadn't paid for the meal yet.
Assuming Shigure Kira would pay, the group played around and didn't pay attention to the expenses. When it got late and they were about to leave for Tianming's vacation villa, they discovered that Shigure Kira and Black Sugar had disappeared somewhere, and they couldn't reach them.
As for settling the bill
Do you have any money with you?
Salome glanced at her teammates and said quietly. Hearing this, everyone swallowed and remained silent, giving the best response.
He had no money at all, and after learning that Shigure Kira was treating everyone, he hadn't even considered the money aspect.
"Are you planning to dine and dash?"
