The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Page 167

Although Chen Li managed to reclaim Sirin's personality from the Honkai consciousness and place her back at the midpoint between humanity and Honkai, Sirin's true form is indeed a Herrscher recognized by the Honkai consciousness. Only a Herrscher in her complete form possesses the power to create and command Honkai Beasts and Undead.

At the same time, it can also fully unleash the power of the Herrscher core, using the Herrscher of the Void powers as if it were instinct.

Unlike Welt, who had to bear a great burden when using the powers of the Herrscher of Reason.

"It really is... the Herrscher of the Void." Mebius looked at Sirin with considerable shock, and then his eyes lit up with fervor.

Mebius had studied the body of the Herrscher of the Void from the previous civilization that Chen Li brought back, as well as the Herrscher's core, and now a living Herrscher who could communicate had appeared before him.

"Don't look at me like I'm a lab animal. I hate that look. I absolutely hate it." Sirin keenly noticed Möbius's gaze and clearly expressed her disgust.

To be honest, if Chen Li hadn't been there, and if Xilin hadn't been a bit too easygoing, she would have taken action on the spot.

"I apologize." Mebius readily raised his hands in apology.

“However, I want to clarify that I don’t intend to use you for experiments or anything like that, because I have already collected the relevant experimental data. I’m just curious why you didn’t take action immediately after seeing a human?” Möbius explained.

Mebius meant what he said.

Mebius isn't stupid; the Herrscher of the Void that Chen Li brought is clearly an ally...

Although Mebius doesn't have much of a concept of "friends," he does have the concept that Chen Li is his sugar daddy.

But then again, doing some psychological counseling shouldn't be illegal, right?

“I refuse to answer that question.” Because Celine felt it wasn’t even a question.

Sirin had only read some of the storylines related to the Second Honkai Impact and Honkai Impact 2, and knew nothing about the previous civilization. Therefore, she did not understand what kind of technological breakthrough a Herrscher who could communicate would represent for the previous civilization.

In Sirin's view, the First Herrscher could even help humanity fight against the Honkai.

“Alright. Let’s talk about mobilizing the resources of the entire civilization to save the world.” Möbius turned to look at Chen Li.

“I’m not lying about that. I’m the one in charge of this civilization now! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Sakura. She was there too, and she was one of those who sold themselves.”

“It sounds like ****…” Wilvi hesitated before continuing.

"Ahem, anyway, Sakura, go and inform those higher-ups later to stop implementing the Civilization Fiction Project."

"Ah, but boss, this plan has just been drafted and, after a lot of refinement, has taken a basic shape..."

"Boss" is the title Chen Li has given to his subordinates for how he currently addresses himself.

We'll change it when Chen Li comes up with a more handsome nickname.

"Because I have already obtained the results of the Civilization Fiction Project in the future, this project can be stopped after I travel back to the present," Chen Li said.

Since Chen Li would not allow the previous civilization to be destroyed, there was naturally no need to leave a gift for the next civilization.

Moreover, the key point is that the same event will not generate two fictitious values.

"Okay, boss."

"Could you explain in detail what happened?" Alicia asked curiously.

“Of course.” Chen Li snapped his fingers, and two Miracle Cards appeared in front of him.

Letting them face the miracle directly will make the explanation much easier.

"I will later tell you the storyline related to the Honkai, and you can watch it carefully. In short... after today, everything will be different," Chen Li said confidently.

……

After a preliminary understanding, everyone looked at Chen Li's two miracle cards and gained a basic understanding of the current situation.

"So... Xiaoli, because you were worried that your appearance would change the Herrschers that would appear in the future in the present civilization, you went to the future before you had a significant impact on this world, fixed the order in which the Cocoon of the End gave birth to the Herrschers, and also severed the connection between the past and present civilizations, turning two civilizations that were originally in a cycle of reincarnation into civilizations that could communicate with each other?" Alicia said thoughtfully.

"The reason why the Herrschers of the future civilization are the same as those of the current civilization is because we implemented a plan to allow the next civilization to learn from our experience and better deal with the Herrschers?" Mebius was more concerned about this matter.

Because Mebius knew that a plan like this, which was almost always devised in a desperate situation, meant that in the original timeline, the current civilization would still be destroyed.

“Unlike the previous civilization, the Herrschers in our civilization, including myself, can choose whether or not to fight for the Honkai because someone has given us that right.” Sirin looked at Alicia.

Celine had no prior knowledge of this matter, which is why she appeared so surprised.

"I'm getting shy looking at me like that." After being stared at by Sirin for a while, Alicia couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

But Chen Li felt that Alicia was trying to make him smile less smugly.

“But I have a question. Since the fusion warriors can live for 5 years, what happened to their companions who survived to the next civilization after you severed the connection between the two civilizations?” Velvi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know," Chen Li said quite frankly.

"do not know?"

"I'm only responsible for paying the price; the logical issues will be resolved by the Wanxiang Judgment." Chen Li shrugged.

"You know nothing, how did you become a master craftsman?"

"Can you blame me? Isn't it because none of you survived to the future? Maybe things have changed, but we just don't know it," Chen Li said.

"..."

Of the thirteen heroes, only four survived to the next civilization.

Kevin, Sue, Hua, Greta.

The first three haven't joined the Firemoth yet, and the only one they can contact, Gretsch, is still a child.

And all those present—Sakura, Velvet, Mebius, and Alicia—died more tragically than the last.

“I’m really sorry we can’t live to see the future,” Möbius said casually.

"It's okay. I forgive you."

"???"

"Speaking of which, what about Qianjie?" Alicia asked.

Alicia arrived rather late.

"Oh, he's still cooking in the kitchen."

"Is anyone home, Dr. Möbius?" An anxious voice rang out outside the door of Möbius's laboratory.

Mebius got up and opened the door after hearing the call.

Mebius didn't know why this group of people chose his lab for their gathering. Did his lab look so idle?

"What's wrong, Hen? We're discussing something very important here," Möbius asked as he saw Hen enter the Möbius Laboratory after passing the verification.

"Gresch, Gresch, she..."

"What happened to Gretchen?"

"Gresh is possessed by something strange."

"what?"

"A ghostly figure of an adult woman, who looks very much like Blanca and also somewhat like Gretchen, appeared behind Gretchen. Although this ghostly figure is slowly fading, it cannot be observed by any instrument other than the naked eye, so I came to find you, the learned Dr. Möbius."

“Oh, I know this episode.” Chen Li suddenly raised his hand.

"Gresh must be saying she's possessed by an evil spirit, while lying in her cell saying she's in danger and shouldn't be released because she'll hurt you if she goes out, right? And I bet Gresh's face is practically screaming invincibility right now," Chen Li said with absolute certainty.

"???"

"Gresh, my dear Gresh, let me see your Stand!" Alicia hugged Gresh as soon as she saw her and rubbed her cute little face against Gresh's cheeks.

"Sister Alicia, what is a Stand?" Gretsch looked at Alicia with a puzzled expression.

Chen Li watched from the side and nodded secretly.

At least Gretchen's first words weren't: "You annoying old hag!"

Gretchen may be invincible, but she is probably not completely invincible yet.

"Didn't your father say that a very mature woman's shadow appeared behind you? Where is it? Where is it?"

“It’s gone,” Gretchen said.

“That phantom is indeed slowly fading,” Hen added, who had followed.

"What do we do now?" Alicia turned to look at Chen Li.

"How should I know? I'm not a Stand user. Found it! Hen, come and see if that girl looks like this." After scrolling through his phone for a while, Chen Li showed Hen a picture of Greta.

It's not that Chen Li didn't have pictures of Greta, it's that he didn't have many pictures of Greta that he could show to Greta's father, Hen.

You understand?

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Hen nodded repeatedly.

"Then that's it. Gretchen, can you still summon that phantom now?" Chen Li asked after patting Gretchen's head.

"do not know."

"Then give it a try."

"How to try?"
