Reincarnated in another world, I also want to be invincible at the beginning

"Don't be shy, just sit down and help yourself to the coffee and cake."

Upon hearing this, Aponya and others looked at MEI, because in name, MEI was the highest person in charge here.

MEI suppressed her embarrassment and smiled.

"Yeah, that's right."

Now that things have developed to this point, we might as well continue on.

Although she originally felt that the next topic should require a certain tension, she had no choice now.

Except for Kevin, who needed to perform guarding duties at the door, everyone sat down on the sofa.

Ling looked at the rich snacks and cakes on the table and couldn't help drooling. She looked up at her sister.

I have to say, even Ying was tempted by these snacks.

But now the situation was so scary that she had to reject her sister's request.

Sorry, Ling, I will find a way to make it up to you later.

Even though the black-haired woman said she could enjoy it as she pleased, Sakura really couldn't make such a request on behalf of her sister in this situation.

When Ling saw her sister shaking her head, her face showed a little frustration for a moment, but she soon lowered her head obediently and stopped looking at the tempting snacks.

"You guys don't want to eat?"

However, the woman's voice suddenly sounded like a devil.

Just when Ying and Ling were at a loss, Aponya took the initiative to speak: "Thank you for your hospitality, we will not be polite."

"Ling, since the master has said so, you should accept this kindness."

“…Sister Aponya, is this really possible?”

"Yes."

Aponia stood up and brought a portion of strawberry cake to Ling, indicating that it was indeed okay to enjoy.

"Thank you!"

Ling stood up with a blush, bowed to Si and thanked him before starting to enjoy the sweet cake.

"Delicious!"

The snacks in the reception room were all carefully prepared by a dessert master. Just a small bite was enough to completely conquer Ling's taste buds.

This place has rarely been used since it was built.

Now it has become a place for senior executives in the organization to take a break.

After a certain pink fairy discovered the snacks here, she made this place her secret base.

The dessert master was also inspired by the arrival of the angel.

Since then, this place has become the territory of Alicia and Eden.

"Dr. Si, please get down to business."

When MEI saw that Si wanted to move the fork again because of Ling's actions, she couldn't help but remind him.

"It's a serious matter for me, but whatever, since you're so anxious, I'll satisfy your request."

"Ms. Aponia, Ms. Sakura, you already know Ling's situation, right? Yes, Ling was chosen to be the vessel of the Herrscher. This is a confirmed fact. And unfortunately, humans currently have no means to treat Ling's condition."

As soon as Si opened his mouth, he dropped a bomb.

It was like a direct announcement of Ling's death sentence, and it plunged Sakura into the abyss.

MEI was scared.

She never expected that just when Ling had just started eating the cake, Si, this rude dog, would start talking about this matter directly.

She saw that Ling's originally happy expression was about to cry at this moment.

"Dr. Si, this is not a definite matter. In fact, we have not done any research in this area. Maybe..."

"Maybe there is still hope?"

"Oh, that's too naive."

"MEI, let me be frank. Even if Ling cooperates with you and Mebius in research, you will not be able to find a way to stop Herrscherization."

"Why can you say that?"

“Because that’s what I saw.”

"Ok?"

ME

I looked at Si in confusion, this was inconsistent with the information Si had previously revealed to TPC.

At the beginning, Si told Director Sawai and others that...

She traveled back from the timeline when the fifth Herrscher of Light and Darkness (Tiga) destroyed the world.

Although the Herrscher's appearance now is faster than that timeline, if what Si said is true, then she should not know about Ling.

But Si's tone just now seemed to be saying that she had known for a long time that Ling would become a Herrscher, and that she had also seen her and Mebius conducting Herrscher-related research on Ling, which ultimately failed.

Si noticed MEI's eyes, raised his head and gave MEI a meaningful smile.

"Yes, I saw it, it's the truth."

"..."

Mei stared at Si for a long while before giving up asking questions in frustration.

Because now is not a good time.

This matter is not suitable to be discussed in front of Aponya and others.

"Okay, then you let Kevin find and beat them up. What exactly do you want to do?"

"Oh? Why don't you think I just tricked them here so I could get rid of a Herrscher?"

Tsukasa's words made both Sakura and Ling nervous.

Sakura even began to regret handing over the weapon earlier.

She began to look at the illusion around her, thinking about the possibility of taking MEI or Si hostage now.

But when she thought of Kevin standing at the door, she suddenly felt completely hopeless. This situation was a dead end.

"Please stop being so naughty, Dr. Si, and tell the truth."

If he really intended to destroy Ling, the Herrscher, he wouldn't want to do anything unnecessary.

At that time, the problem could have been solved by simply letting Kevin take action.

"Boring, MEI, you've changed. You're very different from the madman I remembered."

"..."

MEI ignored Si's words.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"But what I just said is true. Transformation into a Herrscher is irreversible. From the moment you are chosen as a vessel, becoming a Herrscher is a foregone conclusion. So you can't turn Ling back into an ordinary person."

"But... Ling's situation is a little special."

"Generally speaking, the moment the Herrscher's energy wavelength appears, the Herrscher has already begun to awaken. At this time, the Herrscher's original personality will be corroded and destroyed. Although the First Herrscher Black Light and the Fourth Herrscher Miko have proved to us that this kind of erosion can be resisted, as long as we can hold on, then even if we awaken to become a Herrscher, we can still maintain a certain degree of consciousness. However, Ling's situation is different from them. So far, her consciousness has not shown any signs of being corroded. Moreover, although the Herrscher's ability wavelength has appeared in her body, Ling has no signs of awakening to become a Herrscher."

MEI listened to these words and fell into deep thought, occasionally looking at Ling who looked nervous.

It is indeed very strange. Although Ling has the energy wavelength of the Herrscher, the intensity of her Honkai energy is too low.

This level of Honkai energy intensity is not even enough to cause an illness.

"Well, I don't understand the principle, but I know the conclusion."

Just when MEI thought that Si would reveal some eye-opening information, this person disappointed her again as expected.

"Then why don't you just state the conclusion right at the beginning!"

This person always likes to mess with other people's mentality.

[Chapter 44: Aponia’s Faith]

"Well, the conclusion is that Ling's transformation into a Herrscher is premised on her death."

"What do you mean?"

MEI was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something but was not sure.

"I should have made it clear. What I mean is that as long as Ling dies, I will become the Herrscher."

When Ying heard this, a light appeared again in her eyes that had been originally filled with despair.

MEI covered his forehead with his hands due to headache.

She took two deep breaths.

I looked over there, thinking that the topic had ended and the woman was about to continue enjoying her cake.

"I understand what you mean, but this kind of thing...if it is really as you said, then the Herrscher who has died once cannot be killed again, right?"

"You noticed the key point. Yes, that's right. If Ling really awakens and becomes a Herrscher, you will definitely not be able to kill this Herrscher. Simply put, once this happens, this timeline can be declared GAME OVER."

"This isn't a game, don't make it sound so easy!"

MEI's tone was serious, she had guessed some kind of 'truth'.

This woman really lied at the beginning.

She is not an ordinary time traveler at all, and this world is very likely not the first timeline she has traveled through, because she has already revealed two endings about the complete extinction of mankind.

One is the timeline after Tiga became the Herrscher.

One is the timeline after Ling awakens as a Herrscher.

Humans in both timelines failed.

"I need to confirm something!"

"Go ahead."

"If Ling was alive, she wouldn't have awakened to become a Herrscher."

Although the company did not disclose that

What is the power of this Herrscher, but the fact that he cannot be killed is already tricky enough, so MEI now just wants to avoid the appearance of this Herrscher.

Because for the time being, she really couldn't think of a way to deal with this Herrscher.

At this time, MEI has not yet developed the technology to seal the Corrosion Herrscher.

"It's half and half. Even if Ling doesn't die, as long as she comes into direct contact with the source of the Houkai, or her spirit collapses due to a severe blow, there is still a high possibility that she will awaken and become a Herrscher."

"That is to say, as long as Ling's condition is stable enough, she won't awaken, right?"

"Yes, but this should be difficult."

"After all, I haven't seen you guys for once and I can protect Ling's future."

"Thank you very much for reminding me of this."

Although MEI looked angry on the surface, she was actually relieved in her heart.

The information revealed by the company is very useful.

"You're welcome, because I want to see you win, too."

"If that's the case, then tell us what you know!"

"Sorry, I have my own difficulties too."

After all, simulating the future is a very energy-consuming task.

There are many things that are not clear when simply predicting the future.

She also has a headache here.

And every time she simulated, she had to be careful not to let the Herrscher of the End notice the change in time.

It's really troublesome.
