"The key to consciousness."
"When the Gray Snake invaded the Hyperion through the humanoid machine, the squad leader used the power of Yu Duchen to help me resist the harassment of the Gray Snake. However, in the subsequent Quantum Sea, Yu Duchen disappeared again."
"No matter how you think about it, this shell is very similar to Yu Duchen."
Bronya continued, "I was once attacked by that green-haired guy in the Quantum Sea. He had a method that could suppress the Houkai energy in my body. Not only did he take away the Desire Gem, but even the ability of the Ruler of Reason was interfered with."
Theresa: "Those who can interfere with the power of the Herrscher..."
"At least it has to be the Key of God. Not only that, the Yu Duchen that the squad leader left in my body seemed to have disappeared at that time. The only doubt is that when he faced the snake, he did not choose to run away, but chose to be killed by the snake."
Einstein: "There are only two possibilities. He has hidden himself in advance and knows that he will not really die. The other possibility is that he has made a backup plan, so that even if he dies, it will not cause any harm."
"By the way, Principal, has anything strange happened in Haiyuan City during the time I have been in the Quantum Sea?"
"Strange things?" Theresa pinched her chin with her fingers and began to recall, "After you left, Haiyuan City was attacked by Gray Snake. He used a potion to transform into a Honkai beast and attacked Rosalia and the others... Wait, after Lilia was captured, Rosalia seemed to have used dual-wielding greatswords. At that time, her combat power even exceeded mine, and she seemed to have changed completely."
Bronya nodded and said, "So what Lilia said is correct. Rosalia had already touched the shell that day and reached some kind of deal with the consciousness hidden in the shell. The content of the deal was to give her the power to save Lilia, and she had to leave afterwards."
Bronya released another picture. "This is what we took on the beach. The girl claimed that the shells were left by her brother, and her brother is dead, so she wants to take the shells back. There is no doubt that her brother is the boy."
Einstein soon discovered the mistake in this sentence, "According to what you said, the boy was killed in the quantum sea, which is completely blocked from the real world. How could she know about her brother's death?"
Theresa: "Unless there has always been some kind of connection between them."
The last photo was also projected, it was the woman with white hair.
"I asked Xi'er, and she was very sure that this woman was the grown-up version of Kiana. When I entered the Quantum Sea, Walter prepared three trial worlds for me, but after I experienced two, the third trial was suddenly cancelled. I thought I was recognized in advance, but I didn't expect that Mr. Walter used the trial world as a cage to temporarily imprison him."
"But Seele was not included in the assessment, so she also entered that world. It was in that world that Seele learned his name - Qian Jue. And Kiana in that world bubble also grew up slowly in the high-speed flow of time."
Einstein: "Schrödinger once mentioned that one must have coordinates to determine one's position in the quantum ocean, otherwise one will be trapped in the ocean forever. If she is really Kiana in the world bubble, let's not talk about how she broke through the world bubble. The fact that she can appear in front of us means that there must be some kind of existence that locates her."
"So after this analysis, we can deduce the conclusion." After several people finished sharing their information, Bronya linked her own speculations together.
"First, the boy sneaked into the Abyss City through unknown means, bewitched Rosalia through the shell, and made a deal with her. Then he entered the Quantum Sea, broke Mr. Walter's protection, and met Kiana from that world in the world bubble. In the end, he fought with me in the Quantum Sea, trying to take away the Desire Gem and the Law Core, but was killed by the snake."
"And it's definitely not just the Key of God that can do this."
The three of them said their answers at the same time: "Herrscher!"
"Only the Herrscher can withstand the erosion of the gem, and only the Herrscher can suppress the core. And in the end, he did not die, but successfully survived."
"After the boy died, Seele knew this Kiana... She was the new body of the Herrscher."
"The Ruler of Consciousness, the Ruler of Awareness, has quietly descended upon this world."
Chapter 156 Questioning Bianca
Pale metal walls, heavy explosion-proof facilities, only the sound of some mechanical activities can penetrate the barrier and reach this room.
The treatment measures here are far superior to the medical level outside, and the fully automatic diagnostic machine is detecting the vital signs of the teenager on the bed in great detail.
At first glance, the whole room seemed to be designed specifically for the boy, just to wake him up. But once you enter it, you will find that it is actually a terrifying cage one thousand meters underground.
However, it is very abnormal that such a solid fortress should be equipped with a large number of personnel garrisoned, but at this time there is rarely any sound of personnel activities in the huge base, and there is not even basic security personnel. Only the occasional electronic prompt sound indicates that the base is always in operation.
rustle--
In the quiet room, the sound of paper pages turning can be heard occasionally. The delicate rubbing and almost consistent page turning time indicate that the person reading this book must be an extremely self-disciplined person.
"Aren't you going to continue sleeping?" The girl noticed the boy waking up without even shifting her gaze as she turned the pages of the book.
"Although I am fortunate that I am lying on a hospital bed instead of a dissecting table, I think it is impossible for a normal person to sleep with such a powerful enemy by my side." As if it was just a casual chat between friends, Su Jue turned his head and looked at Youlandel beside him.
Bianca held a detective novel in her left hand, and her eyes followed the pages. A faint smile hung on the corners of her mouth, and it could be seen that the content of the book seemed quite interesting.
Two round thighs protruded from under the skirt armor, overlapping each other elegantly. It was hard to imagine that such white and delicate thighs like porcelain could burst out with power that could penetrate the stars.
Dignified and elegant, if you don't consider the other person's identity, Bianca is indeed a very charming girl at this time, and every move can attract the attention of others. She embodies the most beautiful qualities in the world, as bright as the bright sunshine.
However, this light, like the blazing sun, was too hot, and it would set the puppet on fire if it got a little closer. Only the light that still bloomed in the darkness was the destiny that Su Jue could pursue.
The girl sat upright on the chair, clearly in a relaxed state, with her back straight. It was obvious that she liked the book very much, but after reading the last word on the page, she did not have any intention of coveting the next story, but restrainedly closed the book and turned her gaze to Su Jue.
"I am not that powerful yet, and Destiny is not an inhumane experimental machine. The research on Herrscher is only to better fight against Houkai. Placing you here is also to prevent greater damage."
Looking at the serious Yulandel, Su Jue nodded in agreement, but a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He asked curiously, "I am a little confused. If this is true, then what does Miss Yulandel think of the fact that the Bishop of Destiny resurrected the Ruler of the Void a few months ago, causing the world to collapse and tens of millions of people to die?"
Before Bianca could speak, he continued, "Could it be that this is also part of the fight against Honkai? I think that with Miss Yulandel's strength, she is fully capable of stopping his plan. Does that prove that you actually support his plan and acknowledge that those millions of people can be sacrificed?"
This is an extremely acute issue, and it is also the reason why Su Jue has never had a good impression of Yulandel. This most powerful Valkyrie clearly has the ability to prevent tragedies that should not have happened, but in fact she has been indulging Otto.
He stared into Bianca's eyes, trying to see the slightest confusion and regret in her deep blue pupils, but unfortunately there was none. Her will was much stronger than he had imagined.
Facing Su Jue's question, she just stated calmly: "I don't agree with Bishop Otto's plan, and I never think that those sacrifices are insignificant. The reason I stand on the side of destiny is simply because if there is no destiny, no one can protect the billions of people on this planet from the collapse."
"There is no absolute right or wrong, good or evil in this world. There is only mission, and I am just fighting for my mission."
pop-
Applause broke out in the room, and Su Jue could hardly hold back from praising Bianca for her speech.
"What a mission! Then the tragedy of K423 is also part of your mission? Or are the sacrifices of tens of millions of people also necessary sacrifices to achieve the mission? Bianca Atagina, you did not answer my question directly. This world is indeed not just about right and wrong, but you dare not even face up to right and wrong. What exactly is your so-called mission? Or is it just a slogan, an excuse to achieve your own goals?"
"Four months ago, when I awakened and became a Herrscher in the catastrophe, I watched countless people die around me. Their pain and despair still echo in my ears, and their anger and hatred are rolling in my mind right now."
"Why did it become like this? I wanted to find the answer from you, but obviously you are not the one I want to find."
"Yulandel, you are a warrior who saves the world, but you are not the savior."
Facing Su Jue's questioning, Bianca's eyes flickered. She could not deny Su Jue's words, but she could not agree with him either, because this involved belief, the belief that supported her to stay steadfast until today.
She could not be shaken in any way, but Bianca was just a pure-minded girl. She was not as eloquent as Otto, so she could only remain silent.
Just when the atmosphere had reached freezing point, the man's voice finally appeared.
"Mr. Su Jue, please don't make things difficult for our girl. She is only fighting against Honkai. It is not for her to judge right and wrong." The voice came from Yulandel's communicator and was then connected to the projection system in the base. When the blond man appeared in front of Su Jue, they saw the deep darkness in each other's eyes.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Su Jue quickly suppressed his expression and showed a confused look.
"..."Faced with Su Jue who was pretending to be stupid, Otto suddenly didn't know how to start. He could fight with Yulandel but was unaware of destiny. Could such a thing really exist?
Adjusting the silk scarf on his chest, Otto introduced himself with a smile: "Otto Apokalis, the current bishop of the Destiny, and also the culprit who caused the great collapse. Perhaps I am the person you are looking for."
However, when the real culprit appeared, Su Jue avoided talking about the collapse.
Control emotions and spy on people's hearts.
He could question Yulandel from the standpoint of a victim, but he couldn't convince Otto in the same way. It was just like you couldn't question why a ball of ink was so black. It was what the Herrscher of the Thousands should do to serve the dish according to the dish.
He suppressed his anger, glanced at Yulandel beside him, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Are you sure he is the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny? To be honest, I think he should play the clown. Dyeing his hair green may be more in line with his temperament."
Even under Su Jue's targeting, Youlandel, who had never shown any strange expression, couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and Otto, who was originally smiling in the picture, also had a stiff expression.
It’s hard, the soul steel fist is hard.
Chapter 157 Being Coerced
With Otto's 500 years of self-cultivation, he would naturally not fall into Su Jue's rhythm because of a single sentence. In just half a second, Otto woke up and regained his normal expression.
"I am indeed the Bishop of Destiny, there is no doubt about that. I can also give you the answer to your question, but you have to tell me where your plague gem came from."
Imaginary space, that is a realm that Otto still cannot set foot in. During the experiment of Qianjie Yicheng, he once briefly observed the tree, and on the tree he saw the hope of finding Kallen.
During the Awakening War, the Plague Gem fell into the Imaginary Space, a realm that no one had ever set foot in. But now the Herrscher of Fire has quietly appeared without anyone noticing, which means that he may have also entered the Imaginary Space and escaped unscathed.
If we can find out the reason, it will undoubtedly be a big step closer to the goal of resurrecting Kallen.
"Really? I thought that the ruler of the destiny that controls half of the world should be a more calm guy, not a poor guy with a smiling face but a deep hatred."
thump—
The desk in Tianming's office, which had been used for more than half a century, was in trouble. A deep palm print was embedded in it, like a delicate work of art.
When he looked at Su Jue again, Otto finally put away his frivolous look. There was a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, but he did not lose his elegant demeanor.
"If you want to provoke me and give yourself a chance to escape, I'm afraid you've miscalculated. This place is at least one thousand meters above the ground. With Youlandel blocking your way, you have no chance of escaping."
"Really? I don't think so." As soon as the words fell, the temperature in the entire laboratory rose rapidly, and some flammable fabrics even began to smoke. However, the next second, white mist began to spray out from the corner of the room. It was liquid nitrogen.
The temperature that had just risen dropped rapidly. Of course, liquid nitrogen alone could not stop the ability of the Herrscher of Fire. However, just as Su Jue was about to increase the output power, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the accumulated collapse energy quickly dissipated.
HSN potion, and the bloodline of the Shaniyat family.
Both of these are extremely rare materials, but now they are all used to suppress Su Jue.
Really willing.
Su Jue's expression suddenly changed. It was obvious that the situation was beyond his expectations. He was about to construct a flaming sword, but was pushed down to the bed by Yulandel.
Of course, this was just his performance. If the Herrscher could be suppressed so easily, the collapse of this era would have been over long ago.
"Su Jue, 17 years old, was in high school before the Great Collapse. According to the investigation of the Destiny data, your parents died in the Collapse, and you are the only survivor."
"No one knows that you awakened to become the Herrscher of Flame during the collapse, and in the following months you chose to hide in Sky City because you showed your power. I'm a little curious. At your age, you should be the most full of blood and energy, and Herrscher of Flame generally have a bad temper. How did you suppress your desire to destroy?"
Tianming had already conducted an investigation long before Su Jue's appearance was confirmed, and basically even found out how old Su Jue was when he wet the bed.
In order to find out the weaknesses of each Herrscher, Otto also set up a special investigation team for personality analysis to judge Su Jue's character based on his life trajectory.
"Obviously, you are very smart and have learned to conceal your own thoughts, but you are still too young and revealed your purpose too early." After suppressing Su Jue, Otto regained his confident attitude and pointed out Su Jue's weakness.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Su Jue, who was in the control space, almost laughed out loud. It seemed that Otto was really angry. According to the original plan, Su Jue would at least have a stage of being furious.
Now it was the emotionally turbulent Otto who was a little impatient and "saw through" Su Jue's nature in advance.
Sure enough, emotions are people’s biggest weakness.
"Hmph, since you have already investigated my background, why don't you kill me? I don't think you, Heaven's Fate, will let a Herrscher go." Su Jue felt a little breathless as he was pressed by Youlandel's long legs. The temperature in the air was getting lower and lower, the nitrogen concentration exceeded the standard, and the oxygen content was already a little insufficient.
"Tell me how you got the gem and how you hid it. We have checked your body many times and found no trace of the plague gem." The gem had been recovered by Su Jue long ago, so Otto certainly couldn't find it.
"I'm going to die anyway, so why should I tell you? You don't really think I haven't watched the TV series, do you?"
Making a gesture to Youlandel, asking her to let go of Su Jue temporarily, Otto said: "No, I never said that destiny must kill the Herrscher. Even if it is a Herrscher, as long as he can fight for humanity, it is not unacceptable."
"Haha, even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe what you said. Kiana has been betrayed like that, and you have conducted such cruel experiments on her. Now you want to tell me that you will let the Herrscher go?" After being released, Su Jue did not continue to try to escape, but glared at Otto.
Seeing the boy no longer hiding his emotions in the picture, Otto's smile grew wider.
There is no doubt that this young Herrscher has exposed his greatest weakness.
"Kiana Kaslana, the Herrscher of the Void. This is the second time you mentioned her name since you woke up. Before, you were questioning Yulandel, but it was not for yourself, but for Kiana."
"You are obviously full of hatred towards Tianming, but you have forced yourself to suppress it. I think during that time, you must have met someone who can help you calm down." As he spoke, Otto pulled out a photo from the projection. It was the candid photo of the two of them that Su Jue had deliberately spread.
"And in Sky City, you were willing to be captured in order to stop the entire Destiny army. I'm afraid your purpose was to let the Herrscher of the Void escape."
"A Herrscher actually developed feelings for another Herrscher, and was even able to suppress his own nature and hatred for the sake of feelings. To be honest, this really surprised me that a Herrscher who has always been inhumane would actually have such thoughts."
"But unfortunately, Tianming has already discovered her activities and will be able to capture her soon..."
boom--
Su Jue punched the instrument beside him, and a large amount of electric arcs appeared. His eyes were scarlet. "If you hurt her, I will make you pay the price!"
"You can ask me to let her go if you want. As long as you cooperate with me to complete the experiment, I will naturally reduce my interest in her."
The observation experiment of Thousand Worlds and One Vehicle has the power to penetrate the membrane of imaginary space.
"At least let me make sure she's safe..."
"This is natural." Several photos taken by surveillance cameras were projected, and there were even traces of Benares.
Looking at K424 on the screen, Su Jue fell silent, and finally had no choice but to agree to Otto's request in humiliation.
Chapter 158: Transaction with Otto
The Vimur base in North Africa was once a modern city, an economic hub connecting Europe and Africa. The city that never sleeps, close to the Mediterranean Sea, has now become a graveyard that the living avoid, with only yellow sand covering the entire city.
"My Lord Bishop, will he really cooperate with our experiment as you said?" With the sharp lance stuck in the ground, Yulandel leaned on the lance, overlooking the desert city from top to bottom.
Just a sudden collapse wiped out its original appearance. After Tianming transformed it into a secret base, it also became a testing ground for the Second Key of God.
"Oh? Yulandel, what do you think?"
"He is a Herrscher after all. I once fought against him in Sky City. To be honest, the combat power and experience he displayed are totally unlike that of a 17-year-old boy." Bianca's intuition is very sharp. When Su Jue and Otto were fighting each other underground, she did not notice anything unusual, but now that she is ready to fight again, the doubts in her heart finally surfaced.
The dry wind blew dust in her face, but was then pushed away by Bianca's aura. Otto chuckled twice and answered her doubts: "Of course he won't give up. His meekness is just to confuse you and me. You probably didn't notice that when he was trying to provoke me, his eyes were always on the corner."
"There is?"
