When boundless red dust flows, and the wind blows away all existing karma. In the Imaginary space, the figure of the woman is drowning in the sand, struggling against her own destiny.
Came out of the dense red dust, and held Jizo Mitama in her hand. [Pardo] aka Evil Vill-V, was panting with exhaustion.
[Pardo]'s face was currently covered in cracks like broken porcelain. But even though her condition was so dire, a smile appeared on her face.
"I did it... I'm still alive! Hahaha...!"
Laughed out loud happily, and after that crawled out from the red dust that trapped her body. [Pardo] took a step out, and the room around her began to change.
An extremely long corridor that stretched into the past and present appeared in front her.
Thousands of colorful crystals hung in the sky like stars dotting the universe. Every crystal hanging in the air is a precious human memory recorded in this corridor.
In the past, Pardo would probably be overjoyed when she saw many colorful crystals around her. But now, [Pardo] who wasn't a real pardo, didn't really care about the memories of this random human.
"Hee~ is this the corridor of Kaslana's stigma space? Look at this place, filled with useless ordinary human memories. I wonder what Kevin thought when he saw his stigma space become so messy like this."
Keep moving forward, and pass through the many memories of stigma owners. Pardo found a knot of space between the crystal walls, and she stretched out his hand.
"Now open [the door] to where [she] is!"
The reason why Evil Vill-V chose to transfer her consciousness to Pardo was because she had a special ability that she really needed.
Although in Flame Chaser Pardo is ranked as the weakest member. However, her contribution to humanity in the future has surpassed anyone else.
Pardo has the special ability to open any place. In the previous era with the help of Dr. MEI, Pardo managed to open space to where the root system of an imaginary tree was, and sent PROMETHEUS to become the Will of Honkai.
Like history repeating itself, this [Pardo] will also do the same.
She had opened up space into Thea's Kaslana stigma corridor. Now, she only needed the final step.
Using her ability again, and moving to the end of the memory corridor quickly. [Pardo] who was holding Jizo Mitama tightly, and she started panting with exhaustion.
Her consciousness began to fade.
However, when she saw what awaited her at the end of the corridor, [Pardo] felt it was all worth it.
"I found you."
At the end of the corridor, there was a very beautiful crystal throne, with two girls sitting on the cold throne.
[Adult version of Thea] hugged [Small version of Thea] in her lap tightly, as if sharing warmth with each other. The two of them closed their eyes like sleeping, and did not flinch even if a stranger entered their private area.
Hundreds of memory crystals originating from Kaslana's stigma corridor, floated past [Pardo] body at different speeds, and they all entered [adult version of Thea]'s body in turn.
[Adult version of Thea] made a pained expression as if she was having a nightmare. Meanwhile [small version of Thea], smiled innocently and peacefully like a silly girl.
A very complex expression concept.
Pardo started hobbling towards Thea, one step at a time.
"I like what you said before destroying my Helix Workshop. We are indeed the same creature."
"I understand your feelings. We absorb all the consciousness and memories left behind by the deceased to increase our strength. But when I couldn't control my hundreds of thousands of puppets, I realized, you are the same."
"How could you possibly assimilate Kaslana's billions of consciousnesses in less than a year?"
[Pardo]'s expression became terrible.
"why don't you perish?!"
One soul, trying to assimilate Kaslana's billions of consciousnesses accumulated over 50,000 years. It was almost the same as a drop of black ink being put into sea water all at once.
No matter how concentrated the ink is, seawater will divide it evenly.
Ink will become the sea, but the sea is more than Ink.
If Thea really assimilates all the consciousness in the Kaslana space, then the Thea that appears after the assimilation process is complete is Thea who is omniscient and omnipotent.
Like a cold-blooded god with no emotions, a machine created specifically just to defeat honkai.
Just like Kevin.
"I don't know what made you stop halfway. Maybe it's something like a subconscious system that warns us that we ourselves are in danger? So that's why you woke up after assimilating for a year?"
"What's clear... Even though you woke up, the assimilation still hasn't stopped."
Standing in front of Thea, and watching hundreds of crystals from all corners of space enter her body. [Pardo] drew Jizo Mitama from its sheath, and she drew her sword.
"Assimilation is still ongoing today. Eating little by little, digesting the nutrients you get, and turning them into your power."
"With one year of assimilation... You yourself have become very strong. We couldn't move freely if you were still around. Therefore, the balance scale you created will end here."
"This... Is my gift to you."
Unlocks the 12th divine key delimiter, Jizo Mitama, and uses zero power. [Pardo] who had her own stigma space, released the millions of consciousness she collected in Nagazora City, and all that consciousness became fuel for Jizo Mitama.
Instantly, the katana sword in her hand released extremely dark black flames!
Looking at the two Theas sitting on the throne with big smiles. [Pardo] used her ability to control the Stigma, to connect with Thea's stigma, and she directly stabbed them both with full power!
____
Thea: "!?!?!?"
Just came out of the Imaginary space, and sent the unconscious Sirin to the Sanatorium. Thea, who was receiving emergency news from Tesla, looked at the Katana sword that had just penetrated her chest in confusion.
The excruciating pain made Thea groan in pain. The [Pardo] projection that appeared behind Thea, had the same smile as the one in Kaslana's stigma space.
Tesla: "[Thea, what happened?]"
Could hear a worried tone on the other side of the screen, but didn't have time to answer it. Thea stared at [Pardo] angrily.
[Pardo] just smiled.
"Absolute power cannot always be the measuring point for victory. We, Flame Chasers, are weak humans who attempt to challenge the authority of a god."
"Did you think I didn't have any preparations when I invited you into the Helix Workshop?"
The black flames that spurted out were like dense poison that spread rapidly.
This corrosion poison was not intended for Kaslana's stigma space. But, only specifically for Thea herself.
"I know that this attack will not cause serious harm to you. But what I want is not that. I want you to sleep, and continue your pending assimilation."
From automatic to manual.
[Pardo], now flip the switch to return to 'auto' once again.
Resume pending assimilation.
Very long digestion process.
This is what she needs.
"Sleep in peace Thea Schariac. When you wake up, everything you see will change."
In the stigma room, [Pardo] watched [adult version of Thea] open her eyes full of anger, and she laughed out loud.
"Merry Christmas, THEA!!!"
"BANG!!!"
Saying the last words, before her consciousness was brutally erased by Thea. [Pardo] was destroyed, but the Jizo Mitama sword in her chest was still burning with a raging black flame.
"Hngh... I was careless... I shouldn't have taken her so lightly in the first place..."
Made a helpless expression, and fell to the ground with a loud sound. Thea's consciousness became blurred, and her open eyes immediately became blurry.
Kiana: "Ah? Big sister?"
Suddenly felt pain in her chest. Kiana knelt down weakly, and she somehow felt that something was missing from her.
The stigma on Kiana's body, faded.
Sanatoriums, emergency departments.
After the doctors finished examining the white-haired girl lying on the patient's bed, they were confused because the girl had no traumatic injuries at all.
There are no external or internal injuries. All her organs are also working well.
The heartbeat was normal, but no matter what they did, the girl never woke up from her sleep.
It's like... a vegetative patient.
"I didn't think that all of this could happen like this." Fu Hua, who was holding Fenghuang Down, sighed heavily.
Hare agreed: "This is most likely a trap they set on purpose. But, I still don't understand what they want from doing this. Wouldn't it be true that if the earth were to perish, they would all die along with us?"
Because the reason why Thea was in a coma was not found, they switched from looking for a physical problem, to a spiritual problem.
Fu Hua has the eighth divine key weapon, Fenghuang Down, which can read the memories left by the body. Meanwhile, Hare only had to touch Thea's body to understand everything.
It had to be said, after seeing Thea's battle against the Flame Chasers who came from the past heaven, the two of them were quite shocked.
"Hey, can you guys stop talking in riddles, and tell me what's really going on here!? Why did Thea suddenly fall into a coma!? Tell me!" Tesla became furious.
Einstein: "Calm down Dr. Tesla. Don't let your anger take over your mind."
"I CAN'T!!"
....
As the first person to discover abnormalities on the moon. Tesla, who discovered that the moon began to move towards the earth at a speed of 1,089 kilometers per hour, almost became paralyzed on the spot.
As a satellite and natural shield for the planet, the moon plays a very important role in maintaining the earth's ecosystem.
It's not like in cartoons that someone can steal the moon, and put it back as if nothing happened. In the real world, if the moon moved several tens of meters from the earth in one day, the earth's population would immediately panic.
The tides of sea water are closely related to the moon's gravity. Now, because the moon was moving so brutally towards them, the sea water seemed to be stirred up by a giant hand, and huge tsunamis started to appear everywhere.
Many coastal cities and small islands are sinking into the raging sea.
In addition, due to tectonic plate movements from abnormal earthquakes and the moon's gravitational force, many volcanoes erupted, causing the earth to be covered in black and sulfurous rock.
Schicksal's base, which is a floating island, is fine because they are above the Mediterranean sea and use AI calculations to maintain the gravity balance of the island. But for humans out there, this is hell.
Doomsday, they come.
"After the moon enters the Roche limit, the Earth's gravitational force will automatically pull the moon towards us. So before that happens, we have to find a solution to make the moon stop moving."
"We are really short on time now, but we have to hold an emergency meeting as soon as possible to find a solution together. Aurora, can you help us gather them all? I need your help."
At Einstein's request, Aurora, who was standing next to the comatose Thea, clenched her fists tightly.
"...Fine, I'll do it."
Without much nonsense, Aurora opened a portal, and she immediately disappeared from inside the ward, to search and gather everyone.
Einstein patted Tesla's back, who was currently biting her nails anxiously.
"Let's go to the meeting room."
____
In the meeting room, after Aurora gathered everyone within 15 minutes. A discussion to stop the moon's fall to earth, begins.
Welt Yang spoke first: "Ahem! Everyone here must have received the news that the moon is currently moving towards us. To solve this problem and find a solution, please say what you think."
Bianka: "How long do we have before the moon falls to earth?"
Bronya: "If the moon is moving towards the earth at an average speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, then we still have 375 hours, or about fifteen days left."
Bianka: "Oh, it turned out to be quite a long time."
Tesla: "Long time your dad! Do you know how much damage those 'few days' did!? Moreover, the movement of the moon towards the earth is accelerating, and shows no signs of slowing down at all! Your father is not even that quick to go to the bathroom!"
Siegfried: "...."
Fu Hua: "By the way, why did the moon suddenly move towards the earth? How is this possible?"
Hearing this question, everyone in the meeting room became silent.
Under normal circumstances, the moon only moves a few inches away from the earth per year. But now, it was like the moon had been given a propulsion engine, and started moving towards the earth at a very crazy speed.
This is very strange.
Einstein: "Durandal, Rita. If I'm not mistaken on your previous mission in Coral City, you both found an artificial Herrscher, right?"
Bianka nodded: "Yes, we found him in the underground the observatory. His name is Chen Tianwu, a native of the city of Manila. After searching his trace history, we found that he was the person who disappeared 2 years ago, and was thought to have most likely been captured and kidnapped by a group of human traffickers. For further information, we are still investigating."
Rita: "Previously, Saintess Thea once gave us guesses about this Herrscher's powers. One of them is the ability to control gravity. Even though when we found him he was still asleep, when we freed him, he had used a power similar to the Star of Eden to give us pressure before he passed out."
Receive data from Rita, and open it. Tesla's face immediately scrunched up.
"Wait a minute... Where did you find him? Under the Observatory? Coral city? Oh, I understand!"
"Oh, I think I'm starting to understand too." Einstein nodded.
"Coral City is an area that has special characteristics which is very close to the equator. That's why the space elevator program can exist there."
Welt also began to understand: "In other words, the sudden gravitational explosion was not an attack or just a coincidence. It was a signal that could be sent through space to the moon."
After summarizing all the evidence on the table. Everyone in the meeting room suddenly woke up.
Aurora: "Honkai companion beast."
Bianka: "Honkai companion beast."
Bronya: "Honkai companion beast."
Bella: "Yup, that's definitely my race."
....
If it was assumed that Chen Tianwu became a Herrscher, then a companion honkai beast would definitely be born with him.
However, as long as Bianka and Rita searched Coral City, they never found a Honkai beast whose strength was equivalent to the one that appeared in Nagazora City a few months ago.
This has two meanings, namely that either the honkai beast was never born in the first place, or it respawned somewhere else.
Now in their case, it was clear that the honkai beast chose the latter option.
This Honkai beast is on the moon now.
Theresa: "Wait a minute, this is impossible! What kind of Honkai beast can push the moon towards the earth! Vipralopa class can't possibly do something crazy like this!"
Einstein: "Then this is a new classification. Let's call the honkai beasts the planetary class. However, the evidence is before our eyes. Just denying it is useless. What we need now is a solution to prevent the moon from hitting the earth."
Hearing their discussion, Bianka got an idea: "How about this. Since we already know the cause of the anomaly on the moon, why don't we just kill this honkai beast?"
Indeed, the cause of the moon's anomaly moving towards the earth is the work of this planetary class honkai beast. As long as the honkai beasts are killed before the moon enters the Roche limit, then they have a chance to push the moon back to its original place.
Discussed for a while, and felt this simple idea was very feasible. Now, they have another problem.
Einstein: "So how can we go to the moon?"
With human technology in this era, they can go to the moon in just 2 days. But the problem is, currently the moon is entering abnormal status, and is moving an average of 1000 kilometers per hour.
If a spaceship enters lunar orbit, the spaceship will immediately be destroyed due to the pressure exerted by gravity.
That's the same as courting death.
"Then, since spaceships are not allowed, how about we use a stargate?" Hare, who had been silent all this time, began to make suggestions.
In The Deep, there is a stargate that comes from a previous era of civilization, and has the function of teleporting between the earth and the moon.
But...
"Isn't it already broken?" Einstein was doubtful.
"Indeed, old things break easily. But can't we always repair them? Don't we have someone here who really understands the essence of technology?" Hare smiled.
Hearing what Hare said, everyone's eyes immediately turned towards Welt Yang, the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy, and former Herrscher of Reason.
One of Herrscher of Reason's powers is to create objects that have ever been created by humans. With technology as the basis of his strength, what kind of engineering engineer would dare to be arrogant in front of them?
If you think about it carefully, it seems possible to use the Herrscher of Reason's power to repair the stargate.
Welt Yang: "...."
Stared at by everyone, but suddenly realizes that he is not Herrscher anymore. Welt, who was conscious, immediately looked at Bronya with a straight gaze.
Bronya: "...."
Gan! Do we have any misconceptions about the power of the Herrscher of Reason?
I just entered school a few months ago!
I'm still a noob!
