Looking at the shattered core in his hand, Xia Chuanhu lay down helplessly: "It is indeed feasible in theory, but what I have in my hand is not the real Herrscher Core, it is just a fake I made myself, and the performance is much worse. After four days, the repair progress is only 10% - it will take more than a month to repair it."
Four days.
This is the time Xia Chuanhu has been on the lunar base. Although the barrier of the lunar base has been broken due to Xia Chuanhu's previous attack, and the entire base is now in a vacuum environment, Xia Chuanhu does not need to breathe or eat much, so let alone four days, he can live here for decades or even hundreds of years.
The prerequisite is that he can endure loneliness.
Meili only discovered him two days ago. After all, she had been entangled with Xia Chuanhu in her dreams for half a month. Xia Chuanhu was full of energy and radiant, but Meili suffered a lot. It took her two days of sleep to finally recover from the mental burning hell and the impact of the waves.
But even though she recovered, she still felt some phantom pain in her waist and stomach when she woke up. Especially for a nightmare demon like her, the herself in the dream was also the real body in a sense - this time, Mary experienced firsthand how the self in her memory was taught a lesson.
(I need to be more careful next time.)
Just as Meili was reflecting on herself and silently deciding to dare to do it again next time, she sensed the breath of Xia Chuanhu in the End Crater. She hurried over and understood the situation.
And now...
"Do I need to have someone capture the current Herrscher of Reason?" Mary asked. "It would definitely be faster to get the real thing than to slowly imitate and repair it like you did. No, you should have done this from the beginning."
"What are you talking about?"
Xia Chuanhu rolled his eyes at Meili and said, "Walter is the leader of Anti-Entropy, and I am a member of Destiny on the surface. Although I have always said not to count me as a member of Destiny, over the years, Destiny has indeed become my label. If I ask Walter for help directly, it will be very difficult for him to do so both publicly and privately."
"Hmm~~~"
Meili snorted meaningfully: "From what I remember, you are not the kind of person who would consider other people's feelings. It's obvious that every time you cause trouble to the Clock Tower, you always do whatever you can to make it more troublesome."
"Can those guys in the Clock Tower compare with Walter?"
Throwing away another scrapped Herrscher core, Xia Chuanhu said disdainfully: "Besides, it's not me who causes trouble to the Clock Tower, it's the people in the Clock Tower who cause me trouble. When I was maintaining human order in the parallel world, those guys always caused me trouble. It was not as worry-free as Atlas Academy and the Wandering Sea."
In fact, in Xia Chuanhu's opinion, the situation of the three families is just like the pot calling the kettle black.
The things in the cellar of Atlas Institute, if released, would actually cause more trouble than the Clock Tower. The good thing is that Atlas Institute is very self-aware and knows that it is dangerous to release their things, so they keep them locked up and hidden. Only those uncultured people in the Clock Tower...
"Besides, I'm quite optimistic about Walter, and if possible, I don't want to trouble him too much with personal matters - just asking him to help me get one every time Alahato releases a new product is enough."
Xia Chuanhu has read Walter's memories and knows that he is indeed a great man who is willing to sacrifice his life to save the world.
As someone who is also committed to saving the world, Xiachuan Hu actually admires him very much.
So he didn't intend to make it too difficult for Walter.
"Private matter?"
The meaning in Meili's expression became even stronger: "Little Grayxiu is still a member of the Yingjie after all. After more than 50,000 years, she must have grown to a level that can be compared with other Yingjie. If she can return, it will definitely be a good thing for this world and a great help in fighting the Honkai."
"To put it in a bigger context, this is a matter concerning world security. How come it becomes a private matter when you say it?"
"Because it was my personal decision to save Grayshu." Xia Chuanhu explained, "The people who caused Grayshu to die are my current family members. As the head of the family, I have the obligation to take responsibility. In addition, from the current situation, I am the only one who can rescue Grayshu, so I have no reason not to do it."
The reason for saving Grayshu is not because Grayshu's return can better fight against the Honkai.
Simply because it was something only he could do and something he had to do.
[Within the reach of my hands, I will do my best to help others]
Mary's mind emerged with the words that Xia Chuanhu said in front of King Arthur's tomb in Glastonbury a long, long time ago when he was a student.
(You've always been like this.)
(No matter what kind of things you are involved in, as long as you feel that it is something you must do and it is something that only you can do, you will do it without hesitation. Thanks to this, many people have been saved, and the world has been saved many times because of you.)
"Then~~~As a favor to you, please accept this key first."
"key?"
Taking the still warm key from Meili's hand, Xia Chuanhu frowned and asked, "Where is the key?"
"You'll know after that just try any door. I don't know if it will be useful this time, but it will definitely be useful after this time."
"I'll leave little Grayshue to you, dear."
"You must bring back our Fire Moth's most adorable child."
21. I'm out
Time on the moon passed unexpectedly quickly.
Even though there are no obvious changes here due to the passage of time, Xia Chuanhu's absolutely standard biological clock and the repetitive sunrise and sunset allow Xia Chuanhu to truly grasp the real passage of time.
And today is his twenty-seventh day on the moon.
He moved his body, which had become a little stiff from maintaining the same posture for a long time, and then stood up from the ground. Xia Chuanhu threw away the last Pseudo-Rule of Law core in his hand, which was already full of cracks, and looked at the device in front of him, which was formed by several overlapping circles of different sizes.
"Looks like it's done?"
Quietly appearing beside Xia Chuanhu, Meili looked at the strangely shaped, sci-fi device in front of her and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, it is worthy of the power of the Ruler of Reason. Although it is a simulation, after breaking 10092 pieces, it finally reached the realm of the real Ruler of Reason?"
"Congratulations, Tiger~~~"
"Well - I'm exhausted."
Holding his forehead, Xia Chuanhu forcefully exhaled a breath of foul air.
The star gate was repaired by him.
The multiple ring devices that are now operating normally in front of him and Mary are the "Star Gates" that can directly connect to the outer universe. Not to mention the solar system, as long as the coordinates are set, the Star Gate can reach another galaxy light years away.
Of course, considering the distance, multiple star gates might be needed, but this time we only need to move within the solar system, and the distance is less than one light year, which is not a burden for the star gate.
This is undoubtedly a good thing.
But it was rare for Natsukawa Tora to feel tired - he had been working without sleep for 27 consecutive days, maintaining a high level of mental concentration to carry out extremely precise repair work.
No matter how inhuman his physique was, he was now at the point where he needed a cup of coffee.
And for problems of this magnitude, Mary would always help him solve them directly.
"I knew you would say that. Come and try the coffee I made myself~~~"
As Meili spoke, a cup of coffee slowly floated in front of Xiachuan Hu from somewhere.
Taking the coffee, Xia Chuanhu took a sip. The coffee brought him a slight refreshing effect, which dissipated some of the fatigue in his eyes: "Yeah, this is the taste that Meili would brew."
"tasty?"
"It's a horrible drink."
As he spoke, Xia Chuanhu drank the coffee in one gulp: "You made it the way you remember it, right? That was the funny coffee that Meili prepared specially to prank me."
"You can even drink this?"
"Because this awful coffee is unique, and I'm the only person in the world who can drink it without batting an eyelid - so how do you make the coffee?"
"Hehe~~~ An illusion body doesn't mean you can't do anything." Meili smiled and waved her staff, "Even this imaginary body can still interfere with reality. In the past month, you were busy repairing the star gate, and I also repaired the lunar base casually."
Although Mary's repair skills are certainly not comparable to those of professionals, she has at least repaired the lunar base to the point where basic living facilities can be restarted.
"If possible, I really hope to live with you on the moon for a while. Come to think of it, I am actually almost the same as Princess Kaguya now~~~"
"But now that the Stargate has been repaired, you must be ready to set off immediately?"
Meili knows Xiachuanhu very well.
As long as he decided to do something, he would complete it immediately if it could be done immediately. Especially when it came to things related to [rescue] and [protection], even if he could only rescue someone one second earlier, that would be something he would be happy for.
"Anyway, I'll be back soon. After I rescue Gray Xiu, I'll come check on you from time to time if I have time."
"Then I'll be waiting for you~~~Have a safe trip and remember to come back early."
"Ah."
As far as Meili could remember, Xia Chuanhu and she had had this kind of conversation countless times.
And the next moment——
“Buzz————————!”
As Xia Chuanhu condensed a new Herrscher core in his hand and threw it into the star gate, the overlapping rings began to spin rapidly, and in the space at the center, a dark light quietly lit up, and in a short, fleeting moment -
"—————————!"
A [Star Gate] leading to the deep universe, as if existence itself was like an infinite starry sky, immediately appeared in front of Xia Chuanhu and Meili!
Meili recognized the scene.
A month ago, when she wanted to trick Xia Chuanhu, the Star Gate also showed a similar performance, but compared to that time, the current Star Gate, both in terms of scale and the energy it emits, far exceeds the previous time.
Was it because of the effort Xia Chuanhu put in? Or did Xia Chuanhu make some modifications to the star gate while repairing it?
Mary couldn't make a judgment for a moment.
And just as she was thinking this, Xia Chuanhu had already stepped directly into the star gate.
"call out------"
It seemed that only Xia Chuanhu was allowed to pass through. The moment he stepped into the star gate, the star gate, which was three people tall, shrank rapidly and disappeared in the cross-shaped glow just one second later. The entire star gate device also stopped operating.
Looking at the empty front, Meili sighed softly: "He left~~~ He didn't even say "I'm going out", which is really Tiger style."
"So, how about doing something fun behind his back before he comes back?"
If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles.
This sentence is very suitable for someone like Mary.
but......
"——Ah, forget it."
Throwing all the little thoughts in her mind into the trash can, Meili smiled helplessly: "Compared to this, I think it's better to think about what will happen after Hu comes back - I don't know how many people she will bring back this time."
Every time Xia Chuanhu went out, even if he went alone, he would definitely bring his family with him when he came back.
This is common sense in the Xiachuan family.
And this time it seems that he will only bring back one Gray Xiu, but based on Mary's understanding of Xiachuanhu, there will definitely be more than one Gray Xiu following him back!
(When will you be able to change this bad habit of yours?)
————————————————————
At the same time, Earth.
The moment Xia Chuanhu stepped through the star gate, everyone who had something to do with him couldn't help but look up at the sky.
There was no evidence, nor was there any awareness of anything, it was just as if there was a very vague feeling in the dark -
Xia Chuanhu temporarily left the planet.
22. Monsters in the Star Gate
What's on the other side of the stargate?
This was a question that Xia Chuanhu had never thought about before.
He had experienced a star gate once before, and he was basically certain that the door opened by the star gate was not an arbitrary door that led directly to a certain place, but was more like a small path. As long as he walked along this path, he would reach a pre-set, extremely distant location.
This time he designated the coordinates himself, and the destination, needless to say, was the planet 4,500 astronomical units away from the sun.
The moment he passed through the passage opened by the star gate, he would be able to reach the planet where Grayshu was trapped and rescue Grayshu who was sleeping there - this was Xia Chuanhu's original idea.
Therefore, he never thought that in such a passage where there should be no existence other than him...
——It’s full of monsters!
"Bang----------!"
With one hand, he formed a light shield to block the beam of light attacking him, and at the same time, the fingertips of his other hand burst out with magic bombardment. Brilliant magic cannons shot out from Xia Chuanhu's hands like a rainstorm. The sky full of magic bullets tore through the space in front of him in an instant, and directly pierced thousands of holes in the hundred-meter-tall mechanical giant!
The Holy Sword of the Star, which had appeared in Xia Chuanhu's hand at some point, turned into a stream of light and flew out, instantly outlining dozens of criss-crossing sword lights, which completely cut the mechanical giant full of holes into pieces!
"Boom boom boom boom~~~~"
A deafening roar sounded in the star gate passage, and the completely scrapped mechanical giant exploded directly with the deafening roar. The dazzling explosion flames looked like a blooming super-large firework.
Holding the holy sword that flew back to him, and then grabbing a piece of debris that flew towards him, Xia Chuanhu looked at it with some confusion, and then stared at the wreckage of the mechanical giant that kept falling off and collapsing in the fireworks.
