There were three consecutive dull sounds, and the three arrows miraculously hit the same part. After another shot, Chris's leg joints were completely broken.
The broken thigh quickly turned into particles and disappeared without a trace. This was Su Jue's backup plan. He didn't want these people to follow the puppet's traces to open his box. Anyway, the real puppet was already in hand, and Chris was now just a monster formed by Honkai energy.
With the cooperation of the two, Chris was eventually defeated. He was pulled madly by the two long-range guys. Finally, after all his limbs were broken, he had no ability to resist anymore.
After the dust settled, Chen Tianwu, who had been hiding aside for a sneak attack, showed up. At this moment, his left hand had completely disappeared, and his empty cuffs fluttered in the wind.
However, what flowed out of the sleeves was not blood, but a small amount of black lubricant. Occasionally, there would be faint sparks triggered by a short circuit in the electronic components, which looked a bit weird.
In addition, his thigh was also seriously damaged, but it was also mechanically modified. Perhaps because of this, he was able to survive Chris's attack.
"Who are you? Do you know what kind of monster this is?" Raven did not relax her vigilance because of Chen Tianwu's miserable condition at the moment. She maintained the bow and arrow, and would shoot him with an arrow as long as Chen Tianwu made any unnecessary movement.
Unfortunately, this man in front of him was different from the others. After separating from Anna, Chen Tianwu had basically entered a state of slacking off. He did not look at the arrows of the raven, but just used his sniper rifle as a crutch to support his body and walked away step by step.
Benedict.
The arrow was nailed to Chen Tianwu's feet, and the trembling tail feathers kept shaking.
"Chen Tianwu, I don't know." These two short words answered Raven's question. He paused and added, "Basically everyone in the town is dead. If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better leave."
I was a little bit unbelievable. Although it was a small border town, there were many gangs here and weapons smuggling was also rampant. How could it be possible under such firepower...
Before she could ask more questions, the sound of a helicopter came closer and closer. The helicopter responsible for transporting her lowered the rope ladder and waved at her.
"Raven, retreat, the troops of Destiny are approaching!"
Retracting his bow and arrow, Raven chose to believe the transporter's words. He now had a mission to accomplish, and it would be troublesome if he was dragged into his destiny because of the commission.
She glanced at the helicopter that was getting closer, and then looked at Chen Tianwu who was walking slowly.
"Come with me!" After saying that, she rushed over and grabbed Chen Tianwu. Ignoring his objections, she used the momentum from all around and jumped to grab the rope ladder.
The helicopter flew higher and higher, and the raven hanging outside could finally see the whole picture of the town.
There were pools of red everywhere, as if they had been graffitied. Even the most brutal Honkai beast attack would not be as horrifying as this. Because it was as if it was deliberately carrying out violence, choosing the method with the most blood loss to kill and promote its own terror.
After climbing onto the helicopter using the rope ladder, the communicator rang. Tianming had indeed assembled the A-level troops to conduct an investigation, and he almost became the scapegoat.
After the raven left, the Chris puppet, which had lost its ability to move, was still squirming. The space was suddenly torn apart, and countless transparent threads poured out, completely tearing the remaining part of the puppet into pieces, and then turned into particles and disappeared.
More than ten minutes passed before the Valkyrie troops of Destiny arrived at the town, but what greeted them was only a bloody slaughterhouse.
……
The perspective returns to the Domination Theater. After Chris's consciousness fades, time here finally begins to pass.
The curtain fell, and the actors on the stage consciously came to the audience, becoming the sixth puppet controlled by Su Jue. Unlike the previous puppets that were formed by the sheep spirit absorbing the resentment, this puppet was completely eaten by the wolf. Everything about Chris's existence, his soul, personality, and emotions, were all absorbed by the power of the Ruler, and this formed a new puppet.
The mark on his body was not black and white like the others, but a thick black color, and his whole body was wrapped in strong resentment. Even his wooden body had a faint luster of rosewood, which made him look different. More importantly, he brought a completely different boost to Su Jue.
"The power has increased nearly tenfold..."
This is an extremely exaggerated number. You should know that before this, even if Su Jue obtained three puppets, he could only barely escape the level of waste and was equivalent to ordinary people. But this time, Chris alone directly pulled his strength to the level of a B-level Valkyrie, and this refers to the type of battle.
Although B-level seems weak in the game, in the world of Honkai, B-level means that it can fight against huge Honkai beasts and is the main force against Honkai. Its physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. If it weren't for the fact that Honkai energy can erode the body, causing the Valkyrie to decline like a consumable, it would even be possible to start a war by pulling together a B-level army.
Calculating the time, Saint Freya's people are probably just reaching B-level now, and Kiana barely has A-level combat power after awakening the Herrscher of the Sky. So far, there are only two S-level in the entire destiny, Bianca and Rossweisse, and at most Li Sushang is still sleeping.
"Should I just do it and break the possible rules and restrictions?" This idea suddenly popped up in his mind, but he quickly gave it up. The protagonist group is not that simple. If everyone says "I can't do anything" when he takes action, wouldn't Su Jue's death be too unfair?
Just when Su Jue was somewhat delighted by the increase in strength, a strong tingling sensation kept coming up. He was very familiar with this feeling. It was the power of his own curse. Every time he got a doll, he would experience this pain.
The pain became more and more intense, and Su Jue felt as if his soul was being bitten, chewed, crushed, and swallowed by something.
By the time the pain ended, Su Jue was covered in cold sweats, his throat was a little itchy, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Not only did the life span not increase, but it was shortened by two months...
Is this the price of choosing the evil wolf? The feeling of being bitten just now was probably the feeling of Chris's soul being torn apart after making a deal with the wolf spirit.
After more than ten minutes of rest, Su Jue came back to his senses. No matter what, it was his own choice to obtain the puppet in this way. He could only take stock of his gains and hope that the next puppet would be Yang Ling.
Youth Doll +1, combat power increased to B, lifespan reduced by 2 months.
The effect of the double soul mark is also very obvious. Choosing Aries Redemption will increase combat power slightly, but can increase lifespan. Choosing Black Wolf Fall will greatly increase combat power, deepen the curse, and reduce lifespan.
Sitting alone on the stage of the Domination Theater, Su Jue took out a star-shaped hair accessory from his pocket.
"Anyway, the conditions have been gathered. With the power to break through the imaginary space and the tool to locate Himeko Infinite Tower, it's time to bring back the Plague Gem."
Chapter 35 Imaginary Space
Long before Su Jue first met Kiana and decided to abduct her, he had already planned the most important character in Honkai Impact 1rd - Wuliangta Jizi. Throughout the entire Honkai Impact rd plot, all the changes started with the death of Jizi, and then there was Kiana's growth and awakening.
As a Ruler of Rule, Su Jue personally felt that the most stupid decision made by the mob in the original work was to take out the Plague Gem in front of Kiana, not only helping her to completely transform, but also giving her a Fire Flame gift pack. Now that time has given Su Jue another chance, he must consider whether he will repeat the same mistake.
Then the first thing to do is to get the Plague Gem first. Whether it is for yourself or for others, the initiative is in your hands. However, the imaginary space is far more dangerous than imagined. When he obtained the Domination Theater, he had already tried to find the Plague Gem directly, but he felt a strong imaginary internal friction as soon as he left the theater.
That was an area that even Otto himself would find dangerous. Even someone as strong as Yulan Dell would constantly get lost in it. If Su Jue at that time forced himself to find the gems, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Then the plan to abduct Kiana came up. As the Herrscher of the Void, she was born with a strong control over the imaginary space. What's more, it was she who sent Kiana into the imaginary space herself. Only by obtaining the positioning beacon from her could the gem be found faster.
The hair accessory in Su Jue's hand was the harvest of this time. It was imbued with the power of the Herrscher of the Void and contained the precious memories of the girl. It was undoubtedly an excellent positioning beacon.
The gears around the Domination Theater turned rapidly. This time, it was not a play, but Su Jue was controlling it to move. At first, Su Jue's decision to "carry the Domination Theater back to his hometown overnight" was not empty talk. As long as there was enough time, he would really do it.
At this moment, Jian Yun, who was walking with Su Jue in the outside world, only felt a flash before her eyes, and the figure disappeared without a trace, but her memory was soon disturbed and she just thought it was dizziness.
The dense threads of domination continued to entangle, and all the puppets came to a standstill. In this magnificent theater of domination, Su Jue's real body finally appeared.
His eyes seemed to reflect the afterglow of the sunset on the lake, and the rich golden color was about to overflow from his eyelids, but at the same time, the crimson corrosion lines were also spreading, constantly approaching his brain and heart. The coiled silk thread connected to his back, forming a lifeline with the Domination Theater. If Su Jue accidentally got lost, he could be pulled back by the constantly running Domination Theater, which was an insurance for himself.
After everything was ready, Su Jue poured a huge amount of collapse energy into the star hair ornament to activate it. Faintly, the boundless imaginary space gradually produced a weak induction. If Su Jue hadn't activated it himself, he might not have felt this beacon at all.
After clipping the girl's hairpin onto his own short gray hair, Su Jue jumped down from the theater in the direction he sensed.
……
Darkness and silence are the main themes of the imaginary space. In this empty space, all you can see are your own hands, and all you can hear is the sound of blood gurgling in your veins.
In such a confined environment, even the strongest willed people will lose their faith due to time and their minds due to loneliness. It has been nearly three months since the Awakening War of the Void Law. I am afraid that there is not even ashes left of Wuliangta Jizi. Moreover, in this imaginary space full of dangers, there are also some terrifying monsters lurking.
Su Jue, who was floating in the space, slowly stopped his movements. From the imaginary space not far away, he smelled a breath that made him feel uncomfortable.
According to the theory of physics, even if there is an imaginary space corresponding to the real space, there can only be pure energy, which may be antimatter or dark matter, but there is absolutely no life. However, in the world view of Honkai Impact 3, a unique monster is indeed born in the imaginary space. It is a being born from the imaginary tree and is an apostle of the gods.
The Domination Theater is the closest building to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, so their identities are very clear.
"Imaginary numbers make the body unknowable"
"Imaginary numbers make the body - things point to themselves"
"Imaginary Numbers - Tautology"
In the pure darkness of the imaginary space, a golden flame seemed to be burning, or like a hole in a piece of white paper after being burned at high temperature, the strange and piercing buzzing sound became more and more intense, and the burning hole became larger and larger. Until finally, a huge eyeball opened its eyes.
A strong feeling of filth hit him in the face. Even before he came into contact with it, the imaginary filth from the dark side of the world had already begun to corrode him.
When these holes were finally fully opened, the rough golden eyeballs finally poked out from them, and then the surrounding energy continued to gather to form strange limbs. They had no head, only the eyeball as the absolute core, and the projected limbs tightly wrapped it in it, like a puppet.
"MiHoYo's designers were lazy and copied my Ruler's ability, right?!"
Whether it was the eyeball or the detached external limbs, they were very similar to the operation mode of the Thousand Herrschers using the Herrscher Core to drive the puppets, except that they did not need the controlling threads for control, but directly used the Filthy Core as the center to operate.
Seeing such blatant plagiarism, Su Jue felt his hands and feet cold in the hot summer, and shivered all over. What was wrong with this world? Why did the Thousand Herrschers have to be treated like this? Not only was he targeted by human civilization, but he was also infringed by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
Unfortunately, the Imaginary Number Envoys didn't care about Su Jue's rich inner drama. To them, anything that existed physically was prey. At the moment of formation, the sharp claws drew an arc and grabbed him fiercely.
"Fortunately, I got the Chris doll, otherwise it would be really troublesome." After collecting his scattered thoughts, Su Jue became focused. Now he is the real body, and if something goes wrong, he will be in real trouble.
The surging collapse energy accumulated in his body. Su Jue didn't know any fighting skills. He could only fight with pure strength. As long as the enemy was close to his attack range.
"Like right now..."
The imaginary numbers made Hai's attacks continuously magnify in his field of vision, and the sharp claws seemed to have embedded into his flesh, and he could only fight back with his fists.
"Intentional punch!"
Chapter 36 Arrival
The moment the plain fist touched the virtual skeleton, it was as if a wolf howled, and the long-accumulated power directly poured into the joints of the virtual skeleton, blasting it into pieces.
The imaginary shell wrapped around the golden eyeball disintegrated and disappeared under this punch. Su Jue raised his hand, turned his fist into a claw, and directly grabbed the eyeball.
Click.
A crack appeared in the imaginary core and then spread rapidly, like bloodshot eyes, looking hideous and terrifying.
Just when Su Jue was about to get rid of this virtual skeleton in one go, he felt a strong sense of shock and immediately let go and distanced himself.
The next second, the imaginary number core that he had just grasped was pierced by a sharp blade, and the seed of imaginary number exploded into true nothingness.
A sword stopped at the place where Su Jue was just now and slowly pulled out his two swords.
Could it be possible that he could also counter-kill teammates?
It was not until this moment that he realized that in the few seconds he was fighting with [Object Self-Referencing], so many imaginary monsters had been born unknowingly.
"How could so many imaginary seeds be born in pure void space?" Although he knew very little about imaginary space, Su Jue was at least the controller of the theater and had some knowledge of the rules for spawning monsters here.
Imaginary monsters are beings that feed on matter. They tend to gather around buildings that are swallowed by imaginary space and gain existence by attacking and destroying creatures. Pure nothingness cannot satisfy their desires at all, so the number of them that appear is basically small. It is precisely because of this that Su Jue wants to solve them directly with force.
But the current situation is obviously wrong. The number of imaginary seeds is too large to be generated out of thin air. The only possibility is that there is something nearby that has been attracting them. Su Jue touched the hair accessory on his head, and the vague sensation from it became much clearer, which confirmed his thoughts.
This area is probably the battlefield where the last class took place.
After wandering for so long, he finally found hope. Su Jue smiled with relief and immediately gave up the idea of fighting with the virtual skeleton.
As a Ruler of Law, he must be stupid to think of fighting with brute force. Although the new doll provides him with power no less than that of a B-level Valkyrie, it is unwise to waste precious energy here.
Quickly stepping back to create some distance, Su Jue raised his right hand and suddenly opened it. The countless puppet strings wrapped around his body burst out and scattered in the blink of an eye, weaving a terrifying network in the imaginary space.
As Su Jue's palm turned slightly, the dense network of puppet lines wrapped around the virtual skeleton. The moment it touched them, the power of the Ruler of Laws began to devour the control authority of the virtual core like a bone-eating maggot.
Although the domination authority could not allow Su Jue to directly control these imaginary creatures, the operation mode from the same origin and species was sufficient to assist him in a certain degree of control. Gradually, some of the imaginary monsters entangled by the domination threads changed. The puppet threads on their bodies became more solid, and the core of the imaginary seed became a secondary existence.
"Fight for me."
The voice was not loud, and because of the characteristics of the imaginary space, the transmission range was not far, but the moment the command was issued, the controlled imaginary corpse turned against the monsters around him. A melee was inevitable, and more importantly, the monsters controlled by Su Jue would directly detonate their own imaginary seeds when they were on the verge of death, completing their own explosion.
Tsk tsk, the quality is so poor.
After commenting on himself in this way, Su Jue no longer cared about the situation on the scene, and continued to stimulate the fluctuations in the hair accessories, looking for the position for the final battle.
Finally, a collapsed ruin came into his sight.
The stone steps stretching for thousands of miles, the ruins like broken walls, the ground that was arbitrarily cut and abandoned by the terrifying force, and the endless silence, all highlight the fact that this place was once a battlefield.
I was somewhat shocked. Only by seeing it with my own eyes could I understand how horrific the destruction caused by the battle between Herrschers was.
He landed gently on the relatively intact ground. On his left, the bluestone steps extended along the stone pillars to a height of thousands of meters, but on his right was a bottomless abyss.
It was an extremely smooth cut surface, formed by the casual snap of the Herrscher of the Void. Was this the being that had mastered the power of space?
In comparison, I, who have to rely on cheating to barely survive, am really not worthy of being in the hall. Su Jue has a very accurate positioning of himself. What he needs is never the power to destroy the world, but the plan to subvert civilization. So although I am a little jealous, that's all.
squeak squeak.
The strange sound rang out again. A few seconds after Su Jue landed, a large number of imaginary monsters began to emerge. After arriving here, Su Jue put away his puppet thread. Unlike the empty imaginary space, this place was filled with various stone pillars. And because of the battle of the Herrscher of the Void, the only remaining buildings became precarious. Once the random self-explosion caused a collapse, it would be difficult to find the whereabouts of the Plague Gem.
From here on he must fight personally, and this is why he must improve his combat power in advance. If he can't even break through the encirclement of imaginary monsters, how can he get the plague gem?
……
boom--
There was a loud bang on the stone wall, and a deep pit was directly knocked out. The imaginary monsters that had lost signs of activity were embedded in it, and then gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared.
They had been fighting for who knows how long, and Su Jue didn't have time to think too much. He just felt that the energy that had been accumulated in his body for a long time was almost exhausted. If he could not find the whereabouts of the Plague Gem, he would have to return to the Domination Theater and seek the next opportunity.
This was very difficult for him to accept. He had been planning for so long and waiting for this day. If he couldn't get the gem, all his plans would be disrupted. Deceiving Kiana could temporarily ease the crisis, but sooner or later it would be exposed for various reasons, and then it would be the day of Su Jue's death.
After exhaling deeply to calm himself down a little, Su Jue walked towards the next destination.
At this moment, some bright red suddenly entered his field of vision.
Chapter 37: Infinite Tower - Jizi
Leaning closer, the fiery red hair, like a stove in winter, really fell into his eyes.
She just fell there quietly, and the ruins stretching for thousands of miles seemed to be mourning for her. The collapsed stone pillars voluntarily turned into peaceful coffins. Her flaming hair no longer burned, but instead looked like a maple tree in late autumn, withering its most moving leaves in the most beautiful season.
