After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

"Hmm~~~ I'm half full, let's go to the next one."

Hearing this, Walter, who was about to get up, staggered and looked at Xia Chuanhu as if he was looking at a monster.

Next one?!

"You're not full yet? You've eaten so much?"

"Don't look down on my stomach. People like me who are Arthur-type have [king stomachs]." Xia Chuanhu patted his chest proudly, "Is there a Chinatown nearby? Next I want to eat Shenzhou cuisine. It's not good to keep eating at the same place."

This is the experience Xia Chuanhu has summed up over the years.

There are many big eaters in his family. Although he can usually feed them with his cooking skills, they would occasionally want to go out for a meal. In order to be put on the restaurant's blacklist, Xia Chuanhu and others set a rule - never eat out in one restaurant. If they are not full, they will go to the next one and eat until they are full!

It is not advisable to exhaust all the fish; sustainable development is the right thing to do.

"...I didn't bring much money with me when I went out."

Walter continued to put up a feeble resistance.

But Xia Chuanhu waved his hand without caring at all: "It's okay, I'll put it on Otto's account later. Otto and I have agreed on this. In addition, when I'm full, stay with me for a while. When I was floating in space, I had nothing to do and thought of a few ideas. I need your cooperation."

"When everything is done, I will return to my destiny."

Including the past few days, he has been away from Tianming for almost a week. Although he has the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, Xia Chuanhu would be lying if he said he was not worried about the two little ones from his own family and Siegfried's family.

After hearing what he said, Walter was silent for a while and then sighed: "Okay, but like you, I actually have some things here that I need your help with. After eating, let's go to the Anti-Entropy base...How many more restaurants do you plan to eat?"

"Hmm..... maybe just eat another five."

"..."

Five! ?

Even Walter, who was usually calm, couldn't help but fail to control his expression at this moment.

Could it be that Xia Chuanhu's stomach is connected to another dimension?

48. The Ultimate Projection

After that, Xia Chuanhu really did as he said. He dragged Walter to eat at five restaurants in a row, and only felt full after he had eaten every one of them.

After eating and drinking, Xia Chuanhu, also under the guidance of Walter, came to the base set up by Anti-Entropy in Los Angeles.

"So, what do you need me to do?"

In the underground training room, Walter, who had already changed into training clothes, asked Xia Chuanhu, who was exercising his hands and feet, "Are you asking me to accompany you to do some after-meal exercise?"

"No, I did that on the way here, but...it can actually be considered an after-dinner exercise."

Xia Chuanhu jumped lightly on the spot a few times, threw a few jabs at the air, and stretched his arms and legs: "Remember what I told you before about the purpose of my coming to the United States?"

"…Why do you bring this up?"

Walter certainly remembered.

The biggest reason why Xiachuan Hu came to the United States was to witness with his own eyes what kind of existence Walter, the First Herrscher, was, and to see Alaha with his own eyes. The second reason was to serve as the bodyguard of Wuliangta Ryusuke and protect his personal safety during his stay in the United States.

For example, fighting against the man in the sky can be said to be a side quest.

And now that everything has been completed, Walter doesn't think there is anything left for Xia Chuanhu to do.

"Now I'm just wrapping up... Well, actually, this is something I suddenly thought of while floating in space. I now have a clear idea of ​​what kind of person the First Herrscher, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, is. From your memory, I can see that you are indeed a Herrscher who fights for humanity."

"I'm here on official business."

"Then the next thing is my personal matter - I am quite interested in your abilities."

Interested in the abilities of the Herr of Reason?

Walter's eyebrows twitched slightly, and Xiachuanhu raised his right hand and whispered: "——Projection starts (Trace on)."

"Zizzizi!"

Accompanied by a flash of tiny electric light, a fruit knife appeared out of thin air in Xia Chuanhu's hand. After playing with it for a few times, Xia Chuanhu threw it directly into the sky, but before the fruit knife fell, it disappeared in mid-air.

Walter frowned hard: “What is this?”

"The foundation of magic, projection magic. Simply put, it is a technique that uses magic power to temporarily create a replica of an actual object. In my case, it is one of the basic magic tricks that every magician can do." Xia Chuanhu explained, "But as you can see, once the projected object leaves my hand, it will disappear quickly. In terms of the efficiency of magic power utilization, this magic is also extremely inefficient. Among the people I know, almost no one specializes in projection magic."

"But after watching your fighting style in your memory, I had an idea - the ability of the Ruler of Reason can be said to be the ultimate of [Projection] in a sense, right?"

“…It does look alike.”

As Walter spoke, he materialized a black sphere in his hand: "The ability of the Ruler of Reason is simply [Understanding Reproduction]. As long as it is an object that I touch, the Ruler of Reason's ability will automatically analyze it. As long as its structure is understood, the [blueprint] of the object will be directly engraved into the body and become something like the body's instinct."

"According to what you said, your projection magic is indeed a degraded version of the Herrscher of Reason's ability. Could it be that you want to master projection magic by analyzing the principles of the Herrscher of Reason's ability?"

"Ah? No."

Xia Chuanhu shook his head: "As I said just now, projection magic has a very low efficiency in the use of magic power, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the projection, every detail must be fully mastered, which is really a thankless task."

"Besides, I have another ability that is much more convenient than projection magic. For example..."

click!

Without any preparation, Walter didn't notice anything wrong at all, but when he reacted, several transparent glass sheets appeared around him, and the next moment these glass sheets suddenly turned into more than a dozen crystal clear chains, and then turned into a breeze blowing in the training room.

"—!"

Walter's eyes revealed an uncontrollable look of astonishment, while Xia Chuanhu grabbed the breeze and fixed it into a ball of fire in his hand: "Do you think it's incredible? This is one of my abilities, [Imagination Materialization]."

"Imagination materialized? Will your wish come true?"

"It's a little different. This ability is not omnipotent yet. To put it bluntly, it is an ability that can [change the world's environment into the appearance you have imagined in your mind], that is, [world transformation]."

As Xia Chuanhu spoke, he snapped his fingers, and all the lights in the training room suddenly dimmed, as if there was a power outage. The darkness instantly engulfed the entire training room, but after a few seconds, the training room returned to its original brightly lit state.

However, the temperature in the room was so hot that it made people feel uncomfortable. Just as Walter was about to wipe the sweat off his face, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped to a level that made people shiver uncontrollably.

“——That’s basically how it feels.”

Xia Chuanhu laughed.

"I can freely rewrite the world. Except for not interfering too much with specific [life forms], I can influence everything else that is classified as [environment] - it's limited to Earth. After all, the materialization of fantasy itself is one of the privileges given to me by the planet."

The privilege of freely rewriting the world.

(Is this Xiachuanhu's most powerful ability?)

Walter felt a shudder.

A shudder from the heart.

If what Xia Chuanhu said was not false, then as long as he wanted to, he might be able to create the kind of natural disaster-like hurricane that Houston had encountered before? After all, a hurricane is just a part of the natural environment and is completely within Xia Chuanhu's ability.

"But, this ability cannot be used smoothly now."

Just as Walter was trembling, Xia Chuanhu changed the subject: "To be more precise, it is the [upper limit of output] that is limited. It is no problem to materialize some furniture or to have a simple influence on the surrounding environment like now, but once I want to materialize things above a certain level, this ability will be completely useless."

“It feels like I’ve been rejected by the world itself.”

"And the reason why I'm interested in your Herrscher ability is that I think your ability should be the same as my fantasy manifestation, from the same system, or even... another form of fantasy manifestation? If I can fully understand your Herrscher ability, then maybe I can use the complete fantasy manifestation through the methods of this world."

49. That thing is no longer mine!

To be honest, Xia Chuanhu doesn't particularly care about not being able to use the fantasy materialization completely. He has said it many times before. From his current understanding of this world, even if he doesn't use the fantasy materialization, relying on his own basic abilities and magic operations is enough to deal with more than 90% of the situations. For the remaining 10%, it would probably be enough to just show the holy sword.

It is not necessary to use the materialization of fantasy.

However, whether or not the cards in your hand can be played is another matter. The important thing is that you must hold the cards firmly in your own hands, otherwise Xia Chuanhu always feels a little uneasy.

Since the ability of the Ruler of Reason is similar to his own fantasy manifestation to a certain extent, Xia Chuanhu also wants to try to restore his fantasy manifestation even if he can only partially restore it.

"...I see. I understand the situation."

After pondering for a while, Walter breathed a sigh of relief as if to relax himself: “So, what should we do specifically?”

"Well~~~~ The best way is for you to lend me the Herrscher of Reason Core so that I can experience the power of the Herrscher of Reason myself - but I don't think you will agree."

"Of course."

The core of the Herrscher of Reason is one of Walter's most precious things. Even though he now has the most basic trust in Xia Chuanhu, it would be a dream to lend him the Herrscher core just like that.

Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "I knew it, so let's have a fight now."

"...A fight? With you?"

Walter immediately thought of the giant of light that he had seen in the universe before, Xia Chuanhu, but Xia Chuanhu quickly explained: "Of course, it's not a serious fight, just a sparring. My goal is just to understand the way and principle of the Herrscher of Reason's ability. From an efficiency point of view, it is best to experience it personally with my own body."

Since we cannot use the core of the Lawgiver of Reason to experience its power, we can only passively bear its power.

"I won't fight back. Just try to attack me without destroying the training room. Don't worry about whether you can hurt me. If we're just sparring, I don't think you can even hurt me."

"......I see."

After spending the past few days together, Walter was basically certain that there was a considerable difference in strength between him and Xia Chuanhu, but to be honest, Walter was still a little shocked when he was told so bluntly that he couldn't break his defense.

After taking a few steps back and keeping a slight distance from Walter, Xia Chuanhu waved his hand: “Okay, let’s start.”

"Then—"

Walter raised the Pseudo-Star of Eden in his hand, which he had reproduced countless times, and was about to launch gravity suppression on Xia Chuanhu.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!"

Suddenly, an extremely heavy and fast running sound came from outside the training room. It sounded like someone was running at full speed in the corridor outside, and then soon, the door of the training room was opened.

A pair of red twin ponytails immediately appeared in front of Xiachuanhu and Walter.

"Found it, found it! I finally found you! Asshole Xia Chuan!"

"…Ms. Tesla?"

Looking at Dr. Tesla who came to him with a menacing look on his face, Xia Chuanhu just wanted to greet her out of habit, but the red mechanical arm had already grabbed his collar: "Quick! Follow me!"

"......ah?"

Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but stand there in a daze for a moment.

"Go? Where?"

"Of course we're going to go to my and Chicken-Woof-Head's labs! We used all the methods we could to analyze the residual magical energy we collected from you before, but we could only get a rough idea! We can't even figure out how to use it! And after collecting the internal data of Alahato, I was overwhelmed by the data!"

Dr. Tesla stared at Xia Chuanhu fiercely with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"It looks like there's no change on the outside, but Alahato seems to have been transformed from the inside out. No matter how I analyze it, I can't imagine what method you used to transform Alahato. Come with me, come with me now! If you don't tell me everything you did today, I will never let you leave my laboratory!"

"I want you to write a paper about everything you did and the details of that magic power!!!!"

Xia Chuanhu was rarely overwhelmed by others' momentum, but now he had to admit that the momentum unleashed by Dr. Tesla really shocked him for a moment.

However, after quickly understanding her thoughts, Xia Chuanhu quickly took her hand off his collar: "Ms. Tesla, please calm down a little, I have something else to do--"

"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down!"

“You’ve changed my Arahato beyond all recognition! Even though it still looks like Arahato, its actual data is completely different from the original! Moreover, [Magic], a brand new way to fight the Honkai, is right in front of me, and I, the greatest inventor and genius, can’t even analyze the most basic components—Aaaaaa! I’m so pissed!”

Xia Chuanhu: “….”

After silently keeping a distance from Dr. Tesla who was going crazy over there, Xia Chuanhu lowered his voice and asked Walter: "Mr. Walter, Ms. Tesla...has she had such a reaction in similar situations before?"

"Well... yes, but this is the first time I've seen Tesla so excited."

Walter was also a little surprised by Tesla's reaction.

"But this also proves that what you brought to her could make her so excited, whether it was the magic that had never appeared in this world, or the transformation you made to Alahato - in fact, in my opinion, when you talked to me about Alahato, your performance was almost the same as that of Dr. Tesla now."

"Have it?"

Xia Chuanhu felt that he should have been quite restrained at that time, and was not as excited as Dr. Tesla is now, right?

"So...what do I do now? Should I go to Ms. Tesla's lab first? But I had planned to return to Tianming before evening."

"this......"

Walter also looked embarrassed.
