"Interesting."
Herta's interest was piqued. "For such an interesting thing, you didn't seek me out, but sought him instead?"
After hearing what Ruan Mei had done, she understood even less.
Were they still best friends or not? Researching an "Aeon" and she didn't even bring her along.
As a partner of the Simulated Universe, didn't she even want to share the data to make it bigger and stronger?
"Can you kill six 'Emanators' in a row?"
Regarding this question, Ruan Mei spoke the most realistic words in a calm tone.
Herta was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she referred to immediately.
"...You killed all those True Stings?"
She realized something and asked Leon.
"If they don't die in three arrows, it counts as a botched job."
"...The materials you used for your experiment are quite imaginative."
Herta looked at Ruan Mei, not expecting her to go so big.
"Alright, Ruan Mei."
She conceded on this point. "I must admit you found the right person."
If what Ruan Mei said was true, then there was nothing to criticize here; she had to admit a martial artist was indeed needed.
If it hadn't been Leon who went, but her... At the moment the experiment failed, both of them would probably have been done for.
"Tayzzyronth", even if only a Pseudo-God. Within the current galaxy, indeed only Leon could exchange blows with Him.
Of course, without Leon, this experiment wouldn't have happened either.
Six "Emanators"—are they even human? Was that not insidious? Was that not shady?
"Hmm... So, where exactly did this 'Tayzzyronth' go in the end?"
Little Herta began to think about this question.
"Tayzzyronth" is still alive; He didn't die in that Swarm Disaster war.
Ruan Mei also said that what was attracted by their experiment this time was just a wisp of "Remnant Soul".
So where is the complete "Tayzzyronth"?
This wisp of "Remnant Soul" must have a source; it couldn't have just popped out of thin air, right?
After the Swarm Disaster, where exactly did "Tayzzyronth" go?
"With an attitude of seeking knowledge, use your own method to pursue the answer."
Amidst her thoughts, "Herta" offered her a suggestion.
"Use your proudest work, your most confident project, to seek an answer."
"Herta" looked at her: "You can do it. After all, you are Herta, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Little Herta scoffed at her words. Then, the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Of course!"
Little Herta shifted her gaze from herself to Leon. "I have a proposal."
She issued an invitation.
"What?" Leon felt she wanted to do something big.
Ruan Mei, hearing this, also turned her gaze to Herta.
"Let us explore the truth of 'Tayzzyronth's' death. Personally return to that era and see where He actually went after the Swarm Disaster!"
Little Herta uttered bold words, full of enthusiasm!
"What meaning?"
Oh bitterness, is this also a "Finality" traveling against time?
"Simulated Universe?"
Ruan Mei hit the mark. As a partner, she naturally knew what Herta was referring to.
"Yes, the Simulated Universe!"
Little Herta's words were filled with pride for these four words.
"Herta's greatest project, the only device in the current galaxy capable of simulating 'Aeons'!"
"We will use it to simulate that point in time of the Swarm Disaster, and use it to see the true ending of 'Tayzzyronth' after that great war!"
Little Herta issued an invitation to the two.
"Having been trapped by the 'Erudition Singularity' for so many years, it's about time for some breakthroughs!"
The truth of "Tayzzyronth's" passing. Herta felt this would undoubtedly influence the constants given by the "Solitary Wave Algorithm".
That is, to create an "Erudition Singularity"!
"You will help me, right?"
Herta looked at Leon, her tone holding absolute trust. And... an imperceptible reliance.
She quietly waited for him to give his answer.
"Of course. It is now... after-sales service time!"
The answer didn't need asking.
Boosting, OT, speedrunning, who still has dreams?
Too slow and it's gone!
I don't care if it's Small Cup, Medium Cup, or Large Cup; Fire Team, Ice Team, or Physical Team—as long as you slot in the omnipotent Leon, no matter what trash it is, he can carry them all to victory.
No need for mechanics; even if you're just a useless tool, it's a slaughter.
Even if Emperor Leon needs to carry three deadweights on his back and holds multiple negative debuffs, he is still invincible in this world!
"Very good!"
The moment she got the answer, Herta felt it was in the bag!
Previously, Polka had secretly set her up, causing her to fail every time she tried to break through. She didn't have the ability and could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
As for now? Hmph, avoid her edge? I'll let Leon directly destroy her inside! Polka, you are the challenger!
[This week's superpower has refreshed]
[Superpower: "Do I have to die too?"]
Oh bitterness, dying here too?
Leon looked at this superpower name, exclaiming "What does this mean?"
What do you mean "Do I have to die too?" Is this system trying to devour its host!
If I'm gone, what will you eat? Who will you refresh abilities for?
[That's right, what will I eat?]
Oho, there's interaction, how exaggerated.
Fast forward to him breaking up with Herta, and she decides to drag her other self along to beg him.
Herta: Sister, let's give him all the money, he will definitely make up with me.
"Herta": Do I have to give mine too?
Herta: Yes, yours too.
Herta: If he doesn't agree, we'll commit suicide, he'll definitely agree.
"Herta": Do I have to die too?
Herta: Yes, you have to die too.
Since you called me sister, what else is there to say? It's yours.
[Ability Introduction: After giving the answer "Do I have to die too?" in a specific scenario, a living future will be randomly pre-fetched. So what? The one who died is Zhou Shuren; why should I, Lu Xun, move aside?]
Seeing this ability introduction, Leon knew that sentence was indeed correct.
Death is not terrifying; death is a cool summer night!
Offering people a worry-free peaceful sleep (meaning: giving up and finding a booster, "Please, the other me").
"You come lend me a hand too!"
Herta looked at her other self.
"You also come debug the Simulated Universe for me. I want to go to that true past!"
Yes, not a simulation, but going to that true past to explore the buried truth!
"I know you can do it!"
Herta knew.
Although the other self was nominally the true Herta, she had always been quite well-behaved. She didn't usurp the host's role.
Even if she had the ability, she would only ever guide, never directly telling her what to do at this moment, let alone arrogantly acting or interfering directly.
Her excessive composure made Herta feel unlike herself.
Because in her view, this was Herta's subject. It should be solved by herself; occasional guidance was enough.
And now, Herta took the initiative to issue the invitation of "Come help me" to her other self, the second person present closest to an "Aeon" besides Leon.
"Okay."
"Herta" smiled and agreed.
"However, before putting it into action, I recommend notifying the Xianzhou Alliance first."
She suppressed Herta's excitement and didn't let her act immediately.
"'Aeons' are existences that are 'once proven, forever proven'."
"If 'Tayzzyronth' still exists now, then He definitely exists in the past as well."
"Herta" told the two of the precautions.
"Especially you."
She took a deep breath and looked at Leon.
"Your 'Finality' is too special; it can feed the things affected back into reality."
Before entering the Simulated Universe, "Herta" needed to make all risks clear.
"I am not sure if 'Aeons' are included in that list."
She looked Leon in the eye. "But better safe than sorry. No matter what, there is always a risk, and we need to be prepared."
"Your 'Finality' was given by 'Terminus', and it is also His most direct lineage ability."
Everything Leon did for her, she saw clearly when she was Emperor Rubert III.
"Herta" knew that Polka had long been kicked to death like a wild dog.
But that doesn't hinder "Nous" from creating another Polka, or even reproducing one directly using the data stored in His mechanical head.
He can do it; an "Aeon" fully has this ability.
Even if Polka's "Causality" had been completely erased by Leon's arrow.
"Aeons" are just such domineering creatures.
However, compared to Polka, "Herta" felt that what her other self should consider was the burden brought by a simulation nearly equivalent to meeting an "Aeon".
"Hypothetically, if the things you do and the changes you make in this 'Past' you are going to can still be projected into reality like before."
"Herta" continued.
"Then, with the slightest carelessness, it will cause a massive change."
Leon nodded, pretending to listen seriously.
The universe is about to welcome a great change!
"That is, 'Tayzzyronth' will betray His own fate and make a comeback directly. Someone must be there to deal with it and prepare in advance."
Although "Herta" didn't think Leon could influence the fate of an "Aeon".
But he had achieved too many things others couldn't; who could say for sure?
Plus, "Tayzzyronth" is still alive to this day. Some turbulence causing His resurrection is not a joke; it is very likely.
"Of course, if the hypothesis holds... although the risk is great, relatively speaking, this is also an opportunity to wipe out 'Tayzzyronth' in the true sense."
"Herta" said quite seriously.
"'Tayzzyronth's' return is inevitable; it is merely a matter of time, sooner or later."
"Herta" said to Leon:
"Just like 'Iron Tomb', this is something the galaxy must face."
"That time with Iron Tomb, you could solve it alone."
"But this time it won't work. This time we will face an 'Aeon'. We must gather the power of the entire galaxy to have that sliver of a chance of survival."
"Herta" was incredibly serious.
Because Leon solved it secretly alone, almost no one knew the power of Iron Tomb.
But she was different; she knew "Iron Tomb's" power best.
It is precisely because she knew what Iron Tomb could do as an "Emanator" that she was so vigilant against "Tayzzyronth" as an "Aeon", even if mostly likely just a remnant body.
"Of course, I don't mean fighting 'Tayzzyronth'. We certainly can't count on 'Emanators' to fight 'Aeons'."
A creation hitting the creator, isn't that just ridiculous?
Except for that special group of people, the "Immaculatus", in this galaxy, only Leon can exchange a move. And that's just exchanging a move; he absolutely cannot win.
"However, even if 'Tayzzyronth' really resurrects, His opponents will be others."
This galaxy is not the domain of "The Propagation" alone.
Besides "Tayzzyronth", there are other "Aeons".
Not to mention others, "The Amber Lord" will definitely not shirk his duty.
And as for those from the Swarm Disaster, besides "The Amber Lord", I just don't know if they will choose to attack "Tayzzyronth" again and reenact a gang beating.
After all, according to Herta's research,
Besides the main reason that "Tayzzyronth" and His "Path" blocked the way of too many other "Aeons" and "Paths",
Those "Aeons" who acted during the Swarm Disaster all had their own ulterior motives.
That is, there were purposes worth plotting for.
But it doesn't matter. Compared to the era of the Swarm Disaster, although several "Aeons" have died in this era, relatively speaking, several "Aeons" have also been added.
"The Hunt", Lan.
If war really breaks out, Herta felt this "Aeon" had a high probability of getting involved too.
After all, Leon often represents His will.
And there is "The Destruction", Nanook.
This "Aeon" is a master who strikes everyone equally; "The Propagation" will be no exception.
As long as He dares to show His head, "Nanook" dares to fight "Tayzzyronth" directly.
Just thinking roughly,
There are at least three "Aeons" hostile to "The Propagation" who have a high probability of entering the arena.
If we add "Aha", this master whose stance of Elation is ethereal and uncertain,
Then the prototype of a "Theomachy" no less than the Swarm Disaster is already there.
Honestly, it is hard to imagine what kind of hell the galaxy will be in chaos at that time.
The galaxy being wiped out, and then directly restarting the galaxy several times is not impossible.
"Leave the main battlefield to the 'Aeons'."
"Herta" stated the plan that must be made.
"Xianzhou Alliance, our task."
"Is to prepare for war. If 'Tayzzyronth' truly and actually revives, we must stop the Swarm and the 'Emanators' He creates before they cause mass casualties."
"Emanators", things that aren't worth a penny to "Aeons".
"Minimize the damage of the day."
It is no exaggeration to say,
As long as "Tayzzyronth" wants to, He can "Propagate" hundreds of "Emanators" in an instant.
"Now, there are two choices available for us to take."
Saying this, "Herta" raised the index and middle fingers of her right hand to the three.
"One, as just said."
"You accompany me through the Simulated Universe to the past named 'Swarm Disaster'."
"Go find out the truth and the past, and then find a way to influence Him."
"Herta" put down her index finger, as if this first method had been explained.
"In this process, 'Tayzzyronth' in the present world might be lured out of His hole, revive in advance, and ignite the galaxy."
"The 'Aeons' will definitely enter the arena, so we only need to fight the 'Emanators'."
Although "Nanook" will strike "Tayzzyronth", the stance of the "Lord Ravagers" is unknown, so it is best to plan for the worst.
That is, simultaneously fighting all "Emanators" of both "The Propagation" and "The Destruction" Paths!
...
PS: Cold knowledge: The Star Rail production team are humans.
Hahaha, damn, the ill-fated couple PV of Aha and Nanook laughed me to death.
Is this real? You ask me, who do I ask!
I can only say the mental state is a bit too healthy, and it's too beautiful. 4.0 looks like it has something big, but pity that just watching the PV I realized I got backstabbed quite a bit.
But still quite looking forward to it.
