Above the town, a newly developed reconnaissance warship was docked there. After entering the extreme stealth mode, it had completely entered the invisible mode. And with the cover of the clouds, it was almost impossible for people on the ground to see it.
After the battle of Sky City, Rita was ordered to track down the Herrscher of the Void. Although she lost her for a while, thanks to the detailed intelligence network of Satori, she still found the girl's whereabouts and recently discovered all the signs of her movements.
And this woman was the one sent by the Destiny Team to specifically contact Kong Lu.
These specially trained spies are not Valkyries, but they are often able to investigate more information with the help of their disguises. Even those who oppose entropy have suffered great losses at the hands of these intelligence personnel.
"Keep hiding and don't expose yourself." After giving the order, Rita cut off the communication.
She looked at the other girl next to her and asked, "Alvette, judging from your expression, do you have any questions?"
"Ah?" Alvette, whose worries were written all over her face, thought she hadn't been discovered. After being noticed, she could only scratch her head and asked curiously, "Vice-Captain, since we have found the Herrscher of the Void, why don't we just capture her? According to the intelligence, she is now seriously injured and has lost her ability to resist."
"For the bishop, what he needs is not the Ruler of the Void itself, but the power that the Ruler possesses. Do you still remember the terrifying flames over Sky City?"
"Of course I remember. That was the first time I felt the power of the Herrscher head-on. I was almost burned to charcoal by the high temperature. I couldn't sleep well for the next two days. If it weren't for Lady Yulandel protecting us...it turns out that the captain is the strongest and can even defeat a Herrscher like that." As Bianca's little fan girl, Alvette almost forgot her question as she spoke.
She asked in confusion: "Hasn't that Herrscher been captured by Destiny? What does this have to do with the Herrscher of the Void?"
"That is a Herrscher who can also accomplish the Bishop's goal, but he is more powerful and more uncontrollable than the Herrscher of the Void. Judging from his behavior of not hesitating to expose himself to cover the Herrscher of the Void's retreat, there is a close relationship between the two."
Rita looked at Alvette who was still confused and explained patiently: "The Herrscher also has feelings and people he cares about. As long as the Herrscher of the Sky is still being hunted by Destiny, he will remain quiet."
"But if we catch the Herrscher of the Void, won't we have two Herrschers?"
Even with this hint, the silly Alvette was still a little confused. Rita was helpless and could only throw out a sentence.
"You just need to understand that the Herrscher of the Void who has not been caught is far more useful than after being caught. As long as you give the prisoner some hope, he will willingly accept control. If both of them fall into the hands of Heaven's Fate, the Herrscher who has lost his mind is likely to explode with anger far beyond that of Sky City."
However, while the two were talking, the reconnaissance ship docked here suddenly shook as if it had been attacked by some terrifying creature.
In an instant, all members of the Undying Blade team entered combat status, and the personnel in charge of intelligence immediately discovered that the creature that attacked the warship was actually a giant dragon, and its existence had been recorded more than once in the Destiny database.
Judgment-level Honkai beast - Benares.
"Oh no." The moment Rita saw Benares appear, she realized that something had happened and she immediately called the members on the ground who were responsible for reconnaissance.
"End your disguise immediately and track down the Herrscher of the Void. She's trying to escape!"
……
In the empty house in the town, K424, disguised as Kiana, had no expression, but there were light golden lines in her eyes.
The bait has been used for enough time, and Otto has been given enough benefits. Now it is time for Otto to turn his attention to the real Kiana.
She looked at the people coming and going outside the house. The passers-by in the town, which should have been peaceful, were in a hurry. It was obvious that in just a few days, Tianming's intelligence members had infiltrated nearly 1/3 of the population of this town.
But now...
K424 looked up at the sky and saw that after attacking the reconnaissance ship, Benares was diving towards the ground.
Amid everyone's exclamations, K424 was grabbed by the dragon's claws and carried into the sky like a princess in a Western adventure novel.
Behind it, Rita, wearing armor, could only watch Benares go away. Although the reconnaissance ship immediately started chasing it, the time difference had made them lose track of K424.
Chapter 191 Bianca and Su Jue
The Vimur base in North Africa is still covered with yellow sand, but after many experiments, a large amount of sand has been melted into glass, which looks shiny.
"Attention all units, the 48th test of the Second God Key will begin in 5 minutes."
The sound of the broadcast rang out in the base. After so many experiments, everyone had already become familiar with the process.
In the yellow sand, Su Jue leaned against a low ruined wall with a big red sword stuck in the sand.
The boy raised his head and looked at the sky calmly.
"The experiment will begin soon. Has your body recovered?" Dust rolled up the golden hair and fluttered in front of Su Jue. Yulandel walked to his side, stabbed the spear into the ground, and asked casually.
In the observation experiment of Thousand Worlds and One Vehicle, the two experimenters often need to work closely together, and after so many experiments, they have developed a considerable tacit understanding.
And in this remote base, there were only Su Jue and Bianca. Although both of them were the type who didn't talk much, it was inevitable that they would have a lot of interactions.
In name, Youlandel was the guard responsible for detaining Su Jue. In order to prevent Su Jue from escaping, their rooms were only separated by a wall.
Such a close distance also provided more opportunities for communication, and occasionally the two would chat about topics such as Kiana, destiny, and ideals.
After a few interactions, the honest Bianca gradually became familiar with Su Jue. This did not mean that Youlandel would relax her vigilance against Su Jue, but the situation would not be as tense as before either.
But what was strange was that Otto was clearly aware that their interactions were increasing, but he had no intention of stopping it.
"It's almost recovered." Su Jue raised his hand and pulled back his sleeves. Many dark purple cracks appeared on his arm. But compared to the appearance after the experiment was completed yesterday, it was much better.
After finally finding the correct way to open the door, Otto immediately sped up the progress of the observation experiment, completely ignoring the huge damage Su Jue would cause to himself every time he opened the door.
Su Jue, who was already weak, was getting worse and worse. Even though Otto had prepared a lot of supplies, it was difficult to alleviate the erosion.
Bianca, who was in contact with Su Jue every day, naturally knew this, but she didn't say much. She could only do her best to share more monsters with Su Jue during the experiment.
"The experiment begins."
As the space barrier was opened, Yulandel ended her chat. She pointed the Black Abyss and White Flower at Su Jue, supervising him to open the imaginary space.
Without making any unnecessary movements, Su Jue picked up the giant sword, took a deep breath, and immediately began to accumulate strength.
"With this raging fire, nothing can be cut off."
The terrifying force instantly penetrated the membrane of imaginary numbers, successfully allowing Qianjie Yicheng to observe the imaginary tree.
Just after launching this attack, the number of cracks on Su Jue's body increased several times in an instant.
"Cough cough." He kept coughing, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and the blood vessels on his neck bulged, looking somewhat scary.
He wanted to put down the sword, but his body stumbled and lost his balance, falling down weakly.
boom--
Instead of falling on the yellow sand, he was gently caught by Yulandel. Looking at Su Jue who had almost lost consciousness, Bianca frowned tightly.
The quantum shadows in the sky continued to fall, and Bianca sighed.
He did not choose to leave Su Jue here alone, but put him on his back and killed the Quantum Shadow with a gun in one hand.
After 20 minutes, the experiment ended.
Bringing one more person was not too much pressure for Youlandel. She carried the unconscious Su Jue back to the base and wanted to treat him.
However, the Valkyrie healing methods she learned from Tianming obviously did not have much effect on Su Jue. She carefully undressed Su Jue, only to see that his upper body was covered with cracks and the holy mark on his heart was a little dim.
"His body has reached its limit."
Bianca immediately dialed Otto's communication and decided to temporarily request a postponement of the experiment.
……
At the Destiny headquarters, Otto, who had just finished his experiment, transferred the massive amount of data he collected to the Soul Steel computer for calculation. Compared with the previous inefficient method, with the help of Su Jue, the efficiency was increased by more than a thousand times.
"It's not enough, I want more than this." Although the efficiency has been greatly improved, Otto is still not satisfied. He needs some deeper observations.
The resources of the current Vimur base have been exhausted after so many experiments. The 10 Honkai engines have almost absorbed all of the desert's Honkai energy during operation. Forced experiments will be even less efficient.
"We need to find an experimental site with a richer Honkai energy." Pondering secretly in his mind, Otto turned his eyes to the map.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly received a communication request.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, this is Rita. While we were tracking the Herrscher of the Void, we were attacked by a Judgment-level Honkai Beast and have temporarily lost track of the Herrscher of the Void."
"Missing..." Otto was silent for a moment. Now he had reached an agreement with Su Jue that he must protect Kiana. If he knew that Kiana was taken away under his nose, he would probably refuse the next experiment. "I understand."
He hung up Rita's call, and at the same time, Yulandel's call came in.
"Bishop, Su Jue's body has reached its limit. Can the next experiment be postponed?" Bianca made a rare request directly to Otto, and added: "He has repeatedly expressed his desire to see Kiana in person. Do you..."
"..." Pressing his forehead, Otto felt a little headache. He was naturally aware of Su Jue's physical condition. He had been using Kiana's whereabouts to stabilize him.
Kiana was deliberately left wandering outside, and a little information was released from time to time to keep Su Jue hanging and make him willingly accept control. Now that the experiment has reached a critical stage, Kiana suddenly disappeared. It is hard to imagine what Su Jue will do.
"Bianca, Kiana is missing."
Yulandel was stunned when she heard the news, and subconsciously looked at Su Jue who was unconscious beside her. Just yesterday, he was still asking her about Kiana's news.
He had only participated in today's experiment after he had promised to let him see Kiana, enduring the physical pain, but now Kiana was missing.
"Try to calm him down. Tell him that we have found the Herrscher of the Void and arrested him. As long as the last experiment is completed, let them meet. Also, the energy of the Vimur base has been exhausted. The location of the next experiment is..."
Otto looked at the map and his eyes fell on the city.
"Changkong City."
……
"I understand." Bianca hung up the phone. She knew she was not good at lying, so she could only remain silent.
"Feel sorry."
Chapter 192 Leaking the whereabouts
Somewhere far away, in an unknown place, in a dim passage, only the sound of shoes hitting the ground echoed.
This is a complex and huge underground shelter, and the building from the last era still retains its complete structure.
Gray Snake walked alone in the passage, he did not light a lamp, nor did he write down a map. But every time he came to a fork in the road, the right way would emerge in his mind - even if he had never been here before.
Because when he was created, this knowledge was already engraved in his mind.
Arriving at the end without stopping, a magnificent stone gate blocked the wide underground space, like an icy mausoleum, with traces of cold air constantly seeping out through the cracks in the door.
"Destruction and rebirth." The gray snake chanted in a low voice, and the huge door opened to both sides with difficulty, as if resisting the weight of a thousand years of time.
A chill breeze brushed across his body, and the gray snake stood still, his eyes respectfully cast on the throne in the center of the hall.
The white-haired man was leaning there, thinking quietly.
Kevin, the man who transcends time, has not changed a bit from 1500 years ago.
Those deep eyes have witnessed the miracles of countless people and have also endured the sorrow of the demise of all things.
Just by being looked at, the gray snake felt a chill to the bone.
"Please forgive me for not being able to greet you personally upon your return."
"How is the plan going?" Kevin retracted his gaze and asked.
"It's going well. The world now has all the conditions to realize the plan." After Kevin's return, the entire World Snake seemed to have awakened from hibernation. As its name suggests, it is active all over the world.
"To celebrate your return, I have a gift to offer."
On the dim sword, the flame that once burned everything has disappeared, but its shape can evoke the memories of the savior.
The gray snake picked it up with both hands and brought it to Kevin.
The Holy Judgment of Skyfire, this greatsword that once shone with glory in countless epics and legends was held in Kevin's hand. In just a moment, the blazing flames began to burn joyfully like a child finding his father.
The hall, which was almost frozen by the chill emitted by Kevin, immediately became hot. His eyes fell on the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, as if he was staring at his own past.
"We meet again, old friend. From now on, fight with me."
……
After igniting the heavenly fire, Gray Snake began to report some important information.
"We have captured Siegfried Kaslana, the heir of your bloodline. What should we do with him?"
Kevin was not unfamiliar with this name. When he was in the Quantum Sea, he had communicated with it through the power of blood. However, as his descendant, the ability he possessed was far from enough.
"Send him to the Stigmata space for trials. If he awakens successfully, he will be included in the rule of the World Serpent. If he fails, let him stay there as the first material for the final Stigmata plan."
"Yes."
After completing the report, Gray Snake left the shelter. As a core cadre of the World Serpent, he still had too many things to deal with.
However, he had just returned to the base when he heard a fierce quarrel.
Today is the day to welcome the return of the Lord. Except for the mysterious Feathered Rabbit, the cadres of the World Serpent have finally gathered together. Unexpectedly, a conflict occurred after such a short time.
"I've told you, Momo, my experiment did not fail. Your daughter was killed by the Herrscher of the Void." Sitting fearlessly on the chair, the Jackal looked at the man in front of him nonchalantly.
At this moment, Mo Mo's face was haggard, his eyes were gloomy, as if he was hiding deep resentment, "No failure? I have investigated the test results. In the second stage, my daughter was obviously able to remain stable. It was you who recklessly injected her with Honkai energy, which ultimately led to the failure of the experiment."
After hearing Su Jue's words, Jackal finally couldn't sit still anymore. She asked in a cold tone: "How dare you use my experimental data? This is the secret of the World Serpent. Who gave you the courage?"
But Su Jue seemed to not care at all, and his already gloomy expression became even more crazy, "I must avenge my daughter! For the Lord's plan, I can give everything I have to the World Serpent. I am willing to devote my entire life to the great plan, but this does not mean that my daughter can die inexplicably in your arrogance."
The tall body inched closer to the jackal. The scraggly stubble and bloodshot eyes made the jackal subconsciously take a step back.
