Chapter 124 That's too mysterious, too joyful.

No one knows what lies on the edge of the universe.

If the major powers in the galaxy were to obtain the exact coordinates of the swarm, they would surely launch a full-scale attack to prevent it from growing stronger and causing an even greater catastrophe.

Moreover, it is a swarm of insects led by the Queen Insect and the Breeding Commander.

The insects did not flap their wings; they vanished from the universe and settled in an unknowable, decaying world.

But Hua Yi, far away on the Black Tower Space Station, understood that even if he used the storm created by the clone of the envoy to subtly explore the path of reproduction, he was very likely to be noticed by the surviving envoys of reproduction.

Ruan Mei, who had collected complete data on the entire battle, stepped forward, her intelligent and beautiful eyes revealing an unusual expression.

"—Can you influence the destiny of reproduction?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't mess with the [breeding] at all. It was all done by the Star Shattering King Insect Skarakkabaz."

Hua Yi spoke with righteous indignation. The Godfall Sword, which had been shrouded in gloom, suddenly became dazzling again. The blazing flames were pure and intense, and there was no trace of its original purpose of reproduction.

"..."

By comparing the battles she had witnessed with simulated universe data and piecing together various clues, Ruan Mei stared intently at the human who was exchanging blows with the Shattered Star-King Worm.

I hope to see Hua Yi clearly.

Everything has been explained, but the reason why Hua Yi used the power during the Legion's attack remains inconclusive. Some say he embarked on a path of [intellectual] destiny, others say it was [preservation], and still others say it was [destruction].

Black Tower must have known about his special nature all along, which is why it showed an unusual attitude.

The reliability of the data in the simulated universe has been greatly improved. He is not limited to embarking on different destinies within that universe; he can also trigger multiple destinies in reality.

Facing Ruan Mei, who appeared outwardly calm but was actually keeping a close eye on him, Hua Yi pointed around.

The deep sections of the locked compartments are already in a state of devastation.

A large hole has been created that leads directly to the cosmos, a large section of the anti-gravity protection net outside the space station has been removed, the entire module has expanded, and countless sections have twisted and deformed.

"As I said before, remember to take on the repair work. Miss Genius, you can't expect me and Xing to deal with the Star Shattering King Worm while the space station has to clean up the mess itself, can you?"

"it is good."

Using a more intuitive approach compared to other destinies, Hua Yi has gained a firsthand understanding of the truth of reproduction and is now able to attempt to simulate the "account" of the Shattered Star King Insect.

If he is a traveler who has embarked on the path of [breeding], he only needs to follow the existing path and the direction indicated to become a breeding envoy just like the true Starshattering King Worm.

But he was not in the path of fate.

This has had an increasingly profound impact.

If Hua Yi frequently uses the power of the Shattered Star King Worm, outside of [breeding], it would indicate that the Breeding Order's Skarakabaz is not dead, thus constructing reality from the perspective of destiny.

Whether the Starshattering King Worm is dead is never definitively proven; history is shrouded in mystery. Moreover, he himself was never a member of the swarm. If he were to spread falsehoods throughout the universe, he would be definitively concluding unresolved questions—

This is even more fictional than a fictional historian.

If one were to merely digest the gains from this battle, without using the identity of the Star Shattering King Insect to incorporate their own understanding and influence the course of reproduction, that would be even more outrageous.

Once other breeding envoys survive, they sense a destiny that is different from ordinary insects yet similar to the Queen Insect, a seemingly paradoxical fluctuation, leading to the belief that the Insect King has returned and a new king has been born. This belief is deeply ingrained, and the fictional behavior involving a fallen Star God is excessively [mysterious], yet also incredibly [pleasant].

Perhaps I should be proud of my promising future?

Hua Yi shook his head with amusement and then continued.

"[Reproduction] is far more complex than what that Star-Shattering King Insect just demonstrated. It merely underwent self-division. The truly terrifying aspect of reproduction lies in the conceptual alteration, changing the concepts of reproduction and replication into the production of insects, making all organisms only able to produce insects, and even cell division and mechanical production result in the production of insects."

Otherwise, how could the cosmic insect plague have swept across two-thirds of the known universe in just a few Amber Ages?

"This is dangerous."

"Yes, I won't do this kind of experiment again."

Ruan Mei continued to stare at Hua Yi.

“My experiments have failed countless times, and the outcome is always predictable. The clones of the Starshattering King Worm and the true breeding system are still far from being realized. Its life organization can only be considered a half-finished product. I originally wanted to know what it could do, which would represent how far I have come in areas that I do not understand.”

"original?"

"The life of a construct is destined to be short and insignificant, but you are different... I want to know what you can do now, so please live as well as you can."

Putting aside her knowledge of social skills, Ruan Mei was not good at expressing her thoughts, and she was afraid that Hua Yi had not understood her meaning, so she added more details.

"If you encounter any trouble in the future that could endanger your life, please let me know in time, and I will do my best to help you."

"It seems I don't need to ask Ms. Ruan Mei to keep this a secret."

Hua Yi gazed at this serious-looking, gentle, and elegant genius, whose characteristics differed from those of the Black Tower.

0 ...............

Do you want me to trust you?

"!"

Trust—this was an emotion that Ruan Mei thought she had long since abandoned.

Without trust, there will be no betrayal; she will not trust others, nor will she let others trust her.

So now they actually want to gain Hua Yi's trust...?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ruan Mei once again demonstrated her exceptional wisdom, achieving self-reconciliation.

"This isn't my problem, it's because you're being overly special."

"I have no reason to refuse the help of a second genius, and I sincerely hope to gain more from the simulated universe. I imagine you also have your own things to attend to, so let's each finish our tasks first, and then we can talk about the rest later?"

"it is good."

From the very beginning, Ruan Mei kept giving Hua Yi positive answers. After witnessing his uniqueness, she felt as if she were holding him in her hands for fear of breaking him.

However, Hua Yi had no intention of teasing the genius. Instead, he leaned down and gestured for Xing to climb onto his back.

"I'll carry you back."

"what?"

Galaxy Batman scratched his head.

"Are you sure it was you carrying me, and not me carrying you? You were the one dealing with the Star Shattering King Insects, while I was tied up by the swarm. I feel like you should be the one who's more tired."

"Who told you to disobey me and insist on charging forward when the swarm was rampaging? The corrosive acid burned through your boots, and your feet must have been injured too."

Chapter 125 Fair and Tender Feet

With Xing's strength, even with an innumerable swarm of insects, she could have protected herself with Hua Yi sharing most of the burden.

However, upon discovering that the other party was in the most dangerous center of the battlefield and facing the Star-Shattering King Worm, the girl changed her strategy of retreating and defending, and took the initiative to attack, wanting to fight alongside Hua Yi.

Despite their meticulous planning, they ultimately failed to perfectly avoid the acid spray that would splatter during the swarm explosion.

Xing looked down and, sure enough, discovered a hole in her black high-heeled ankle boots. It was only then that she felt the pain coming from there.

During the battle, I was so focused on protecting my face and body from the corrosive insect fluid that I didn't pay much attention to my feet.

"Woo..."

Mumbled incoherently, Galaxy Baseball Man obediently lay on Hua Yi's back, afraid that if he tried to be brave now, he would only make things worse and become a cripple.

Feeling as if she had been lifted up, Xing asked in a low voice.

“Am I heavy?”

"not heavy."

According to Hua Yi's actual test, despite the girl's tall stature—there are few girls on the entire Black Tower Space Station who can match her height—she is still lightweight, undoubtedly falling within the perfect range of beautiful girls.

"I'm still holding the baseball bat, and it's pretty heavy, so I should actually be lighter!"

The brief answer didn't completely reassure Xing, so she tried to explain again, carefully adjusting her center of gravity and leaning closer to Hua Yi to avoid pulling him backward and causing him to fall.

“I understand, I understand. It’s not just the baseball bat; you also have a stellar core inside you. Its weight should be removed as well. If you calculate it that way, you’ll be as light as a swallow. I’m afraid you’ll be blown away by the wind.”

"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated."

Does a star's core have weight?

Anyway, after the Star Core Hunter broke the seal on the Black Tower in the darkness, the Star Core floated in Kafka's hands.

However, Xing didn't see this scene at the time. Now, she was being coaxed by Hua Yi, her eyes crinkling with joy. She rested her head on his shoulder and whispered something intimately to him.

Ruan Mei watched the two leave the deep confinement section and began to inspect the broken walls and ruins, taking on the repair work as agreed.

She is indeed skilled in the field of life sciences, but that doesn't prevent her from taking on engineering projects of this scale.

For a genius, it's a piece of cake.

First, use additive manufacturing technology to print the tool.

Returning to the office on the middle level of the cabin, she was once again surrounded by cat cakes and shumai dogs. Seeing the smarter little guy imitating her and taking the initiative to help carry materials, becoming a work assistant, Ruan Mei's eyes flickered as she experienced this unfamiliar liveliness.

Was this also within his expectations?

On the other side, Hua Yi carried Xing from the deep layers of the confined compartment back to the shallow layers, and then took the atrium elevator to leave. Along the way, he did not forget to explain the vibrations that affected the entire space station, as well as the holes in the perforated module and the damage caused by anti-gravity protection.

Of course, it's impossible to reveal everything, such as Nguyen Mai's attempt to cultivate and breed envoys in a closed cabin. That would be too willful and too crazy, inevitably causing widespread panic.

[A genius conducted an important experiment, but the failure had a significant impact. Fortunately, the damage was limited to sections that were no longer in use. Please rest assured that specialized personnel will be responsible for repairs.]

With Hua Yi's prestige, even if the details of what happened are not explained in detail, the space station members will not investigate further or speculate wildly, thus preventing rumors from spreading.

Because everyone trusted him, and he never let anyone down.

Carrying Xing on his back, Hua Yi arrived at the girl's dormitory. As soon as he approached, the hatch opened automatically.

The hero and stationmaster knew the specific operation mode of the space station's access control system perfectly. This was the door that opened after recognizing his identity. He was only a half-step away, and the Galaxy Batman on his back hadn't even entered the sensing area yet.

Even the stationmaster of a space station cannot normally barge into someone else's dormitory. The owner of Xing's room had specifically set a default access permission.

A delivery robot had been waiting outside the dormitory for a long time. Hua Yi took the box it handed him, signaled the robot to leave after completing its task, and then went into the dormitory to put the girl on his back down.

The hatch closed automatically, creating a private world for the two of them.

"Go wait in bed."

The brief command seemed domineering and left no room for argument, causing Xing's face to flush red.

"Is it...so direct?"

"What are you thinking? I'm the big bad wolf, and I'm going to take advantage of the little white rabbit's injury to devour you completely, right?"

After opening the box delivered by the robot and taking out the medicine prepared by the medical department, Hua Yi read the instruction manual while continuing to speak...

"Take off your shoes, let me see your injury."

"Oh."

The girl obediently took off her high-heeled boots, revealing her feet clad in black ankle socks.

She was already tall with long, shapely legs, and the contrast between her black stockings and fair skin was striking, giving her an amazing allure.

Unfortunately, the once flawless jade disc was corroded, and the acid burned through the boots, creating small holes in the socks and scalding the tender white toes inside, leaving a bleeding wound.

He moved a chair over and sat down by the bed. With one hand he lifted Xing's delicate feet, and with the other hand he dipped a cotton swab in the special solution. Hua Yi kindly reminded her.

"If it hurts, you can cry out. I won't laugh at you."

"A mere minor injury? This Galaxy Baseball Hero is nothing—hiss!"

Just as the girl was about to demonstrate her strength, she gasped and grimaced when a cotton swab soaked in solution landed on her wound.

The delicate toes wiggled instinctively. If Hua Yi hadn't anticipated this and dodged in time, she probably would have taken the opportunity to taste the saltiness of the ingredients.

"It's quite amazing that the Star-Shattering King Worm collapsed on its own, but the 5.4 groups that split off left behind acid and did not disappear. The artificial life that appeared only briefly created a byproduct that has lasted for a long time. It feels quite philosophical."

Hua Yi gently squeezed the delicate jade-like foot with the hand that was supporting it.

"Hmm, it looks and feels great, it's a work of art. It's a pity that someone doesn't know how to appreciate it and insists on charging into the swarm of insects."

"If I don't cherish it, then you should cherish it."

Xing stubbornly said something, but then felt it was too ambiguous and her gaze drifted away.

Of course, she didn't move her feet, obediently letting Hua Yi catch her.

Unfortunately, the current focus is on treating injuries, not on simply playing with her jade feet.
