Chapter 161: The Battle of the Star of Decay Swarm, a battlefield the Teyvat Devil Gods are unwilling to join
[Barbara: These mercenaries are also going to the Star of Decay? Just like the leader of that army!]
[Jean: Since they are going to the Star of Decay, these mercenaries must also be people related to the Aeon of Propagation, and she also mentioned the ravings.
Could it be that, like that Self-Annihilators soldier, this Gold-haired mercenary leader will also promote the birth of the Aeon of Propagation?]
[Ningguang: It's not impossible. It's just that the army and the mercenaries are clearly not the same group,and the army is implementing a strategy of conquering the world.
It's hard to say that no conflict will arise when the two sides meet.]
[Keqing: I feel like something big is going to happen after this.]
"So that's how it is. Can you tell me what the revelation you received was specifically?"
"Can you tell me who gave you such a revelation?"
Luo Feng nodded and continued to use the power of Spirit Whisper on the Gold-haired mercenary leader.
As he finished speaking, the Gold-haired mercenary leader opened her mouth, as if about to answer Luo Feng's question.
But just then, the entire space began to tremble violently.
Streams of data appeared out of thin air on the Gold-haired mercenary leader.
"Huh? What's going on, Herta?"
Luo Feng frowned and looked up at the ceiling.
[Herta: This scene in the Simulated Universe is becoming unstable!]
[Screwllum: If this continues, the Simulated Universe will crash in about 1 minute and 50 seconds!]
[Ruan Mei: It seems that in past history, there was no content where this mercenary leader mentioned the ravings to others.
So Lord Luo Feng forced her to say these things, causing a deviation between the history simulated by the Simulated Universe and actual history.]
[Ruan Mei: As a result, the current scene in the Simulated Universe is on the verge of collapse.]
[Herta: It shouldn't be like this under normal circumstances. The fact that this result occurred is indeed because the ravings held by the mercenary leader are very significant, right?]
"It seems the Simulated Universe you built is not perfect enough."
"At least it can't gather enough information yet."
Luo Feng shook his head and said.In the Star Rail game, the first simulation of the Swarm Disaster failed to reveal the specific details of the revelation the Gold-haired mercenary leader received.
Luo Feng originally wanted to try if he could use his power to make the Gold-haired mercenary leader reveal the revelation.But now it seems, probably not.
[Herta: Don't say all that, Luo Feng! Please, do something.
Otherwise, we'll have to start the simulation all over again, and I don't want to waste time on repetitive things.]
"Alright, since you're begging me."
Luo Feng nodded and looked back at the Gold-haired mercenary leader.
Immediately, the power of Spirit Whisper was activated again.
"[Listen to me], forget the questions I asked you earlier."
"[Listen to me], you are very tired now, you need to go to sleep."
"[Listen to me], you will dream of me in your dream, and I in your dream will agree to your request."
"[Listen to me], you will treat everything in your dream as reality."
As the words fell, the data streams on the Gold-haired mercenary leader immediately dissipated, and the surrounding space became stable again.
Immediately, the Golden-haired Leader slightly opened her eyes and fell towards Luo Feng with a smile.
By the time Luo Feng caught her, the Golden-haired Leader had fallen into a deep sleep.
[Ruan Mei: The space has stabilized. You really have a way, Luo Feng. It seems this time the Simulated Universe can continue to operate.]
[Screwllum: Thankfully Lord Luo Feng thought of a solution, otherwise, we would have had to spend a lot of resources and time to simulate again.]
[Herta: That's true, but Luo Feng, aren't you using your Spirit Whisper ability a bit too skillfully? You wouldn't happen to use the power of Spirit Whisper on girls often, would you?]
"How about I use it on you too, Herta?"
"Let me think, what kind of things should I make your puppet do?"
After helping the Gold-haired mercenary leader lie down on the bed, Luo Feng replied to Herta with interest.
[Herta: Uh, is that necessary?]
"Lord Luo Feng: Since that's the case, don't act all innocent after getting a good deal. Be careful, I might not help deal with similar situations next time."
[Herta: But if you do that, won't you have to re-simulate? You're not trying to go back on your word and not help me test the Simulated Universe, are you?]
Lord Luo Feng shrugged and said,
"How could I? Since I promised, I will do it. However, as you know, I won't stay at Herta Space Station forever."
"If the Simulated Universe crashes this time, during your maintenance period, I might already be heading to the Xianzhou Alliance."
"As you all know, that place has many places worth visiting."
"Once I go there, it's uncertain when I'll come back to Herta Space Station."
[Herta: Alright, alright, I won't say anything else. I'm begging you, please continue testing.]
Hearing Ms. Herta's spineless remark, Lord Luo Feng's expression was calm.After all, he knew very well what kind of person Ms. Herta was.
However, the audience in Teyvat couldn't help but raise their evaluation of Lord Luo Feng after seeing Ms. Herta's behavior.
[Dehya: As expected of Lord Luo Feng. Changing to another person, they probably wouldn't be able to see this side of the genius Ms. Herta no matter what.]
[Dori: It's not strange. Lord Luo Feng has the value that makes Ms. Herta beg him.
If it were me, I would also be willing to beg him.]
[Alice: Exactly! But speaking of which, Lord Luo Feng's Spirit Whisper ability, for some reason, reminds me of some not-so-good hypnosis manga.]
[Traveler: Please elaborate on the hypnosis manga!]
[Alice: You know, Traveler. Some manga are not convenient to share on the forum.]
[Paimon: What kind of manga are you talking about?]
[Yae Miko: Probably manga where some male lead hypnotizes the female lead with abilities like hypnosis,and then some things that make your face blush and heart pound happen.]
[Dori: *Cough cough*, I'm still a child. Is this a topic I should be hearing?]
[Dehya: Oh, please. Can a child be a cunning merchant?]
[Alice: Speaking of which, thankfully Lord Luo Feng isn't the male lead in those manga,otherwise, not many female leads would be able to resist him.]
[Traveler: That makes sense.]
[Yae Miko: That's not necessarily true. If Lord Luo Feng were the male lead in that kind of manga,
maybe many ladies would be happier, after all, this way,their possibility of getting close to Lord Luo Feng would be higher.]
[Ei: You're not one of them, are you?]
[Yae Miko: Hehe, who knows?]
Lord Luo Feng didn't pay attention to the discussion among the people in the Teyvat Forum. After settling the Gold-haired mercenary leader,
He returned to the room where the mercenaries were gathered and relayed the matter of going to the Star of Decay to all the mercenaries.And after doing all this, the surrounding scene immediately began to change.
After only a moment, everyone arrived at a new scene.Along with the new scene came a strong smell of blood.
"This is... a battlefield?!"
La Signora looked at the surrounding environment and said in surprise.
"To be precise, it should be the battlefield of the Star of Decay."
Lord Luo Feng looked at the countless bugs ahead and said.
Everyone followed Lord Luo Feng's gaze and also saw various different bugs.
To be precise, they were bugs driven by soldiers wearing the emblem of the Elidichina army on their bodies.
Some huge Zhezhe bugs advanced forward while constantly self-splitting, like an infinitely regenerating army.
Some even larger giant insects were responsible for sweeping and advancing the battlefield.
And the objects of attack for the Elidichina army and the bugs they drove were people dressed as mercenaries.
La Signora, Lisa, and the others saw at a glance that they even saw several mercenaries they had seen in the previous scene.
Although the Elidichina army came fiercely,the power displayed by the mercenaries and the various advanced weapons they used,also caused the battlefield to fall into a one-sided situation.
A single laser cannon fired by the mercenaries could turn hundreds of bugs into ash before they could even react,and every bolt of lightning, flame, or gale summoned using Path Power could kill large numbers of Zhezhe bugs.
Even if some bugs could self-replicate, their numbers were visibly decreasing.
[Furina: This, this battlefield is too exaggerated, isn't it?!]
[Navia: It's too terrifying. I feel like I wouldn't survive for even a minute entering this battlefield!]
[Charlotte: Surviving for a minute would be impressive. If I fell into this battlefield, I'd be killed instantly, right?!]
[Andrius: The strength of those driven bugs is not weak. Many have the level of Vision holders,and many of those human soldiers have reached the level of Devil Gods.
Such a battlefield is indeed not suitable for Tivat People to participate in.]
[Dvalin: Let alone the humans of Teyvat, even if we Devil Gods step into such a battlefield, it would be difficult to retreat unscathed.]
[Yae Miko: This is the battlefield of the powerful Pathstriders in the Universe,No, their power is not only in The Power of Destiny, but also in the weapons they use.]
[Wriothesley: The weapons used by the mercenaries and the soldiers of the army,even if not as advanced as the technology of Herta Space Station, are already far beyond ours, right?]
[Neuvillette: If possible, I really don't want to be involved in such a battlefield.]
[Furina: So, even you, Neuvillette, cannot handle such a battlefield?]
[Neuvillette: Even I, if targeted by the strong individuals in the picture, probably couldn't last for too long.However, the specifics depend on how solid the world of the Star of Decay is.]
[Barbatos: Although it's impossible to know the strength of the world of the Star of Decay, it's likely not weak.
Even if it's only at the level of Yarilo-VI, I wouldn't be able to stay on such a battlefield for too long.]
[Yae Miko: All in all, it's very terrifying. I wonder if such a crisis were to descend upon Teyvat, upon Inazuma, whether our General could protect us.]
[Kujou Sara: That is certain.]
[Yae Miko: Is that so? I'm just afraid the General herself won't think so.Indeed, we should still strive to explore the outside world.]
[Ei:...]
Even though Lord Luo Feng, Lisa, and the others were not at the center of the battlefield...But as time passed, the battle gradually spread to where Lord Luo Feng and the others were.
Seeing that the bugs were actually charging straight towards them,La Signora, Lisa, Cloud Retainer, March 7th, Himeko, and the other ladies couldn't help but frown.
There was nothing they could do. Because these bugs were constantly self-splitting, their bodies were covered in slime.
Not only was it disgusting, but it also had an indescribable smell.It was normal for the ladies to feel displeased.
Not only the ladies, but even Lord Luo Feng frowned when he smelled this odor.
However, compared to Lord Luo Feng and the ladies, Dr. looked at the approaching bugs with extreme joy.It was as if he had seen the most wonderful thing.
However, before he could step forward and make contact with the bugs,La Signora directly unleashed a scorching flame, forming a wall of fire between them and the bugs.
Any bug that wanted to approach would be burned by the flames and unable to get close.
Dr. frowned and was just about to say something.Lisa on the side unleashed bolts of lightning,
which combined with La Signora's flames to form an even more violent energy wall, making it even harder for the bugs to get close.
"Hmph, only this time, you did well, Lisa of Mondstadt."
La Signora said.
"You did well too, La Signora."
Lisa smiled and said.
"Two sirs, you cannot relax yet."
"The real trouble is still ahead."
Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and stepped forward.Sure enough, just as his words fell.
The sky was suddenly covered by a black shadow.
Everyone looked up and saw countless giant bugs rushing straight towards them.
The original walls of fire and lightning were instantly crushed by the massive swarm of bugs.
"How can this be?"
La Signora exclaimed.One must know that the flames she had unleashed earlier were not held back at all, yet they only lasted for such a short time.
Lisa also had a serious expression.
Just as she was about to continue using Path Power, Welt Yang made his move.
His eyes narrowed, and a giant black hole immediately appeared in the air where everyone was located.In an instant, the surrounding bugs were completely sucked into the black hole, leaving no trace behind.
Not only that, but even the various advanced weapons and gunfire fired by the soldiers were easily sucked into the black hole.
[Paimon: This, this is too amazing!]
[Lumie: Good heavens, is this a hand-crafted black hole?]
[Alice: Although I know the Astral Express members are not simple,seeing this Welt Yang make his move still feels quite remarkable.]
[Neuvillette: He can even absorb the beams fired by those advanced weapons, what a remarkable person.]
[Morax: He seems to have not yet used his full strength.]
[Barbatos: This is the true value of the Trailblazer.]
"As expected of the versatile Uncle Yang, with you here, those bugs can't even get close."
March 7th said excitedly.
"It's nothing much."
"I didn't sense The Power of Destiny on these bugs."
"It seems the Aeon of Propagation has not yet been born."
"Compared to these bugs, those soldiers are actually more troublesome."
Welt Yang raised his head and looked at the increasing number of army soldiers in the distance who had already noticed them.
"Speaking of which, are you Gexia's confidantes?"
"Why are they all attacking us now?
"March 7th asked with a puzzled look.
"Evidently, we are still in the identity of mercenaries."
"And mercenaries are the enemies of the army."
Luo Feng said.
"The identity of mercenaries, then are we going to help the mercenaries win this battle now?"
Himeko asked curiously.
"Perhaps, in any case, let's make this battle stop first."
Luo Feng said.
La Signora, Lisa, Nahida, Cloud Retainer, and Dr. heard this and immediately prepared to take action.
However, Welt Yang, Stelle, Himeko, March 7th, and Dan Heng were faster.
The bodies of the Trailblazer turned into afterimages and rushed towards the battlefield,and in the blink of an eye, a large number of bugs lost their lives.
And the speed at which they harvested the bugs' lives, and the powerful strength with which they weaved through the battlefield,made La Signora, Lisa, Dr., and the others feel they were far behind.
That being said, Dr. quickly rejoined the battlefield, or more accurately, headed straight for the bugs.
Seeing this, Lisa, La Signora, Nahida, Cloud Retainer, and the others no longer hesitated and entered the battlefield one after another.
Even if their strength was not as good as Himeko's and the others', they didn't want to just stand there doing nothing.
In the blink of an eye, the only one left standing in place was Luo Feng.
[Herta: Are you just going to stand there doing nothing, Luo Feng?]
"With so many people going forward to fight, what else is there for me to do."
"Moreover, Himeko and the others have also gone forward, I have confidence in their strength."
Luo Feng shrugged and said.
...
Chapter 162 Luo Feng's talent might be able to master Musou no Hitotachi; Using gunshots to prove love for each other!
If Luo Feng were to make a move, this battle could end immediately.
He felt that instead of him making a move,it would be better to let Nahida, Lisa, and others go forward and practice.
It also happens to let the people of Teyvat see what the battlefield of the Star of Decay is like through the perspective of Cloud Retainer.
[Herta: Honestly, the longer the Simulated Universe operates, the more data accumulates, and the more troublesome it becomes for us to maintain the normal operation of the Simulated Universe.
Can't you speed things up a bit?]
Luo Feng: "Then beg me."
[Herta: Please."]
"You are indeed still so straightforward."
"Seeing how straightforward you are, I'll exert a little more effort."Luo Feng shrugged and said.
"Everything is the choice of the stars."
"Key yearning for the mysteries of the stars, bestow upon the Stelles your true Blessing!"
Luo Feng activated Asta's ultimate skill [Astral Blessing].
Instantly, a massive energy formed a substance like clock gears in the sky.
As its radiance fell, the speed of Himeko, Lisa, and the others immediately received a great boost.
For a time, the speed of bug elimination increased again.
[Herta: Huh, how can you use Asta's skill?]
[Herta: And how do you even have Asta's weapon?]
Luo Feng: "Can't I have learned it? As for the weapon, isn't it okay if I made it?"
[Herta: You have this ability too?]
Luo Feng: "I am exceptionally talented, is that not allowed?"
[Herta: Alright, let's just say you are exceptionally talented, then when will you learn my skills too?]
Luo Feng: "I only learn skills that are useful or interesting to me."
[Herta: Are you saying my skills are useless?]
Luo Feng: "I'm not interested in spinning around and giving others large Diamonds."
[Herta:...Have you seen me fight?]
"I've only heard about it."
Luo Feng said with a smile. He couldn't tell Herta that he had used her character in the game before.
[Lumie: Indeed, Luo Feng has a hidden talent for learning,I was wondering how he could use the skills of Seele, Bronya, and the others. So he learned their skills.]
[Navia: No wonder he can use Asta's skill. Speaking of which, whether Lord Luo Feng uses Asta's skill or the skills of Seele and the others, he will be stronger.]
[Alice: Luo Feng possesses a purer and stronger Power of Destiny. If he wants to use a certain skill, it will naturally be more powerful.
However, among these skills, some are considered personal talents. I didn't expect Lord Luo Feng could learn them.]
[Yae Miko: Lord Luo Feng said he only learns skills that are useful or interesting to him,
I wonder if he would be willing to learn our General's Musou no Hitachi.
If this move can be learned by Lord Luo Feng, it can be considered an honor in a way.
[Keqing: Speaking of which, I wonder if Lord Luo Feng will one day also use Rex Lapis's legendary Skyfall?]
[Zhongli: By universal rationality, being learned by Lord Luo Feng can be considered a form of recognition.For the beings of Teyvat, this is indeed an honor.]
[Kujou Sara: Musou no Hitotachi is the ultimate of General's martial arts, how could anyone easily learn it!Furthermore, although Lord Luo Feng has shown great power so far, he has not shown great martial arts, right?]
[Rosaria: But the problem is, Lord Luo Feng is not an ordinary person,His ability to learn the skills of Asta and others is enough to prove his extraordinary talent.
As for martial arts, I think Lord Luo Feng is not incapable, it's just that there hasn't been a situation where he needs to use martial arts yet.]
[Lumine: Indeed, it's hard to imagine such a powerful Lord Luo Feng not being skilled in martial arts.]
Amidst the discussions of the people of Teyvat,Luo Feng raised his head and glanced at Himeko, March 7th, and others whose speed had increased significantly, then once again mobilized The Power of Destiny.
Soon, the attack bonus from the Bronya template and the shield bonus from the Trailblazer(Fire) template fell upon Himeko, March 7th, Lisa, and others.
For a time, March 7th, Nahida, and others were like War Gods descending, fiercely sweeping away the enemies on the battlefield.
Before long, the army had no choice but to retreat, and the scales of victory tilted towards the mercenary side to which Luo Feng belonged.
...
"That was too exhilarating just now, I've never fought so freely."
"My speed, attack power, and defense have all become much stronger."
"Did I suddenly awaken some kind of power?"
March 7th, Himeko, Lisa, and others said excitedly after retreating back to where Luo Feng was.
"I think this shouldn't be you, March 7th, awakening some kind of power. It's simply because someone enhanced our strength."
Dan Heng said, looking at Luo Feng with a smile.March 7th:
"You mean, it was Luo Feng?"
Dan Heng: "Besides Lord Luo Feng, I can't think of anyone else."
"Is it really you?"
March 7th skipped over to Luo Feng's side, looking at him curiously.
"Yes, Herta wanted to quickly jump to the next scene, so I slightly used my power to strengthen you all."
Luo Feng nodded and said.
"What, I thought I had become stronger again."
March 7th sighed and said.
"March 7th, I think you will definitely become stronger in the future."
Luo Feng patted March 7th's shoulder and turned to look behind him.There, the Golden-haired Female Leader with twin guns was walking over with a smile.
"Unexpectedly, you possess such power."
"Should I say, as expected of the man I fancy?"
The Golden-haired Female Leader stopped in front of Luo Feng, her face full of smiles.
"It's my honor to be fancied by you."
Luo Feng chuckled.
"Hehe, with our relationship, there's no need to be so formal."
"How about it, as a celebration, do you need me to do something for you tonight?"
The Golden-haired Female Leader placed her hand on Luo Feng's chest and said suggestively.
Seeing the Golden-haired Female Leader like this, and remembering the ambiguity she showed towards Luo Feng in the previous scene,
Even though they knew this was a fake world, Himeko, March 7th, and others couldn't help but feel awkward.Especially Lisa, who didn't know what to say.
"Naturally, a celebration is needed."
"After all, we just won a battle."Luo Feng nodded and said."In that case, I'll go back and wait for you first."
"See you later.
"The Golden-haired Female Leader patted Luo Feng's shoulder heartily, then turned and walked towards the other mercenaries who were slowly gathering.
"Lord Luo Feng, should we follow?"
Himeko took a step forward and stopped beside Luo Feng.
"No need, after all, we are about to enter the next scene."
Luo Feng looked up at the sky and said.Indeed, as soon as Luo Feng's words fell,
A large amount of data streams appeared around everyone.I
n just one or two seconds, the battlefield completely turned into data streams and disappeared.
Instead, it was a mercenary gathering place that felt familiar to Luo Feng, Lisa, and others.
However, unlike the slightly noisy situation last time,
This time, the mercenary gathering place was filled with silence.
"This smell, it's the smell of blood."
Lisa wrinkled her pretty nose slightly, a frown appearing on her face.
"Strange, didn't the mercenary side win earlier?"
"Why is there the smell of blood here?"
La Signora muttered strangely.
"We'll know if we go and see."
Luo Feng said, raising his hand to push open the gate of the mercenary settlement.
As the gate was pushed open, a stronger smell of human blood mixed with the peculiar smell unique to insects rushed into everyone's noses.
Himeko, Lisa, and others had experienced the previous war and were quite familiar with this smell.
"How could this be?"
"Did the army launch an attack here?"
March 7th asked in surprise, looking at the ground covered with the corpses of insects.
"No, I don't think that's the case."
Luo Feng raised his head and looked at the Golden-haired Female Leader, the only one still standing inside.
"You're here."
The Golden-haired Female Leader smiled at Luo Feng, then looked at March 7th, Himeko, and others standing behind Luo Feng.
"However, you are a bit late."
The Golden-haired Female Leader murmured.
March 7th: "Huh?"
Welt Yang: "This is... killing intent?"
Cloud Retainer: "Killing intent? Does she want to kill us?"
Everyone looked at Luo Feng in confusion, instinctively feeling that Luo Feng could provide the answer.
"You did something to the mercenaries, right."
Luo Feng glanced at the ground full of corpses and asked the Golden-haired Leader.
Unlike March 7th, March 7th saw the corpses of insects.
But in Luo Feng's eyes, these were not insects, but the real corpses of human mercenaries
.The Golden-haired Leader was silent for a moment, then nodded."You're right, I used Insect Powder Witchcraft."
"To make the hunters unable to distinguish between humans and insects."
"Then, things turned out as you see."
The Golden-haired Leader pointed her gun at the corpses on the ground and said.
Nahida: "Insect Powder Witchcraft?"
Lisa: "These... are they not insects, but humans?"
La Signora: "When did we get hit too? Wait, if we got hit, does that mean you also plan to make a move against us?"
As she spoke, La Signora's gaze towards the Gold-haired mercenary leader grew increasingly unfriendly.
[Alice: Insect Powder Witchcraft, huh? Sounds somewhat like an alchemical creation.]
[Albedo: Indeed. I wonder how such an alchemical creation is made.]
[Rosaria: Such alchemical creations are too dangerous. It's best not to investigate.]
[Venti: Even Nahida and Lisa were deceived. This insect powder is indeed very dangerous.]
[Zhongli: By universal rationality, this is true. What we see here are people, not insects.I wonder if it's because we are seeing from Lord Luo Feng's perspective.]
[Yae Miko: If it is Lord Luo Feng, I imagine he would not be affected.]
[Barbara: Not only will Mr. Luo Feng not be affected, he will definitely be able to use the power of Abundance to help others escape the state of being controlled by the insect powder.]
[Furina: But why would this golden-haired woman do this? Wait, is it because of the ravings she mentioned earlier?]
[Neuvillette: If that is the case, then these ravings might be quite dangerous.]
The Gold-haired mercenary leader did not offer any defense.She smiled at La Signora and nodded, saying:
"You are indeed within my range of action."
"However, it seems you lingered outside a bit longer because of him."
"Therefore, you did not end up in the same plight as these people."
La Signora snorted coldly and said:
"You're quite straightforward, but it seems you still used this so-called Insect Powder Witchcraft on us, didn't you?"
The Golden-haired Leader's lips curled up. She suddenly aimed her twin pistols at La Signora and the others:
"After all, you are also within my range of action."
As her voice fell, the Golden-haired Leader suddenly pulled the triggers.
A large number of bullets poured down on La Signora, Himeko, and the others, but there were no bullets in front of Luo Feng.
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. While Himeko, Dan Heng, and the others were deflecting the bullets, he once again used the power of Spirit Whisper on the Golden-haired Leader.
"[Listen to me], you have already killed my companions."
"Now, you will automatically ignore their existence."
As the power of Spirit Whisper invaded the Golden-haired Female Leader's brain, her action of continuously pulling the triggers immediately stopped.
Even though La Signora and Lisa were still standing in front of her, their figures were completely absent from her eyes.
"Ignoring us?"
"Good, let this woman taste my flames."
La Signora muttered to herself, intending to use her power to burn the Golden-haired Female Leader to ashes.
However, Lisa raised her hand and pressed on La Signora's shoulder, shaking her head and saying:
"Let Lord Luo Feng handle the rest."
"After all, this is not the real world."
"Instead, we are simulating past events."
"If we make the wrong choice, we might not be able to advance the simulation plot."
"This could cause us to re-simulate this segment of the plot."
[Herta: It seems the passengers Luo Feng brought also have smart people. Let's leave this to Luo Feng. He is the key to pushing the scene to the next stage.]
[Ruan Mei: Yes, from the beginning until now, Lord Luo Feng has made the correct choices. Let's leave it to him.
Hearing the voices of Herta and Ruan Mei, La Signora also dispersed the flames in her hand and quietly looked at Luo Feng.
"Next, is it finally just you and me?"
The Gold-haired mercenary leader raised her twin pistols, pointing them at the ceiling, and looked at Luo Feng with a smile, saying.
Luo Feng: "So, what do you plan to do to me next?"
Golden-haired Leader: "You're really calm, or are you the type who gets calmer on the outside the angrier you are on the inside?"
Luo Feng didn't speak. He silently picked up a gun and aimed it at the Golden-haired Leader.
Seeing this, the Golden-haired Leader smiled:"As expected, you are that type."
"Come on, shoot and kill me."
"But whether you can kill me depends on your skill.
"After speaking, the Golden-haired Leader also aimed the gun in her hand at Luo Feng:
"Shoot."Hearing this, Luo Feng did not hesitate.He directly pulled the trigger of the flintlock in his hand.
Bang!
Accompanied by the gunshot, a bright red flower bloomed on the Golden-haired Leader's chest.I
mmediately, she tilted her head back and fell to the ground with a smile on her face."Why didn't this woman shoot?"
Cloud Retainer pushed up her glasses, saying with some confusion.
"Yeah, she shot at us so decisively earlier."
"How come when it came to Luo Feng, she stopped?"
"Luo Feng's shooting motion wasn't very fast either, was it?"
March 7th muttered.
"Speaking of which, when she shot at us earlier, she also missed Luo Feng."
Himeko rested her chin on one hand and muttered.
Seeing Luo Feng drop the flintlock in his hand and walk towards where the Golden-haired Leader had fallen, she also took her long legs and followed.
Lisa, La Signora, and the others did the same.At this moment, the Golden-haired Leader had not yet lost her breath.
Seeing Luo Feng approach, a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Luo Feng asked.
"Nothing, but you, is there nothing you want to... cough cough... ask me?"
The Golden-haired Leader smiled.
Luo Feng thought of the love story between the Golden-haired Leader and the mercenary in the game and asked:
"Since that's the case, why didn't you use Insect Powder Witchcraft on me like you did with the others?"
[Lumine: Huh! The Golden-haired Leader didn't use Insect Powder Witchcraft on Luo Feng?]
[Navia: I thought Lord Luo Feng resisted the Insect Powder Witchcraft because of his own powerful strength.]
[Ningguang: This is interesting. Could it be that this Golden-haired Leader is serious about Luo Feng?]
[Rosaria: In the previous scene, she also wanted to sleep with Lord Luo Feng.Now it seems she didn't just want to sleep with Lord Luo Feng purely out of desire.]
[Barbara: Uh, um, Rosaria, could... could you not be so direct?]
[Rosaria: You're not a child anymore, Barbara. Some things you should understand.]
[Barbara:...]
...
Chapter 163: Breaking Reproductive Isolation, the terrifying authority of the Aeon of Propagation; He wouldn't possibly be able to make humans give birth to insects, would he?!
"Well... what do you think?"
The Golden-haired Leader smiled.
"Because of love?"
Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and said.
Lisa, Himeko, March 7th, and the others were momentarily speechless upon hearing Luo Feng's words.
Everyone fell silent once again.
"Hehe, then do you like me?"
The Golden-haired Leader was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.
Lord Luo Feng was silent for a moment, then quietly nodded.
Seeing this, the Gold-haired mercenary leader smiled even more happily
.She stretched out her blood-stained hand and stroked Lord Luo Feng's face.
"Leave this Planet. The war between the mercenaries and the army is about to end."
"However, the end of this war is merely the beginning of the real trouble."
"Before that one is born, leave. Take a spaceship and go far, far away..."
With those words, the Golden-haired Leader closed her eyes forever.
And as the Gold-haired mercenary leader died, the surrounding scene instantly dissipated.
In just the blink of an eye, everyone returned to the void space completely formed by data streams.
"In this situation, it must have been successful."
Himeko looked up and said, looking at the sky.
[Herta: Very good! It's successful. The Simulated Universe is jumping to the next scene.]
[Ruan Mei: Lord Luo Feng's judgment was correct. The mercenary he represented was probably indeed the person that Golden-haired Leader liked.]
[Screwllum: Lord Luo Feng and the Gold-haired mercenary leader confirming their love for each other allowed us to jump to the next scene.
Although I don't fully understand what love between organic life forms is.]
[Herta: There's nothing to understand. Things like love aren't important. Knowledge is the most important thing.]
[Herta: More than that, I'm curious why you, Luo Feng, can accurately determine how to proceed with the simulation every time?]
Lord Luo Feng: "What, judging by what you're saying, do you want the simulation to fail, Herta?"
[Herta: Of course not! It doesn't matter if it fails, it just requires a bit more trouble, restarting the simulation.
With a few more simulations, we can definitely find a plan to make the simulation proceed smoothly.]
[Herta: But you yourself said you wouldn't stay at the Space Station forever.
I don't want you to go to other worlds during the time it takes to restart the Simulated Universe.]
[Herta: I'm just quite curious. You can make the correct choice every time, as if you somehow knew the history displayed in the Simulated Universe from the beginning.]
Lord Luo Feng: "Curious?"
[Herta: Curious.]
Lord Luo Feng: "Then tell me about your love story first. I want to know why you think love isn't important."
[Herta: I don't have any love story at all!]
Lord Luo Feng: "Is that so? How pitiful!"
[Herta: Hey!]
Lord Luo Feng heard Herta's angry voice and smiled contentedly.
Himeko, on the other hand, looked at Lord Luo Feng with emotion and said,"
This is the first time I've seen Herta show such emotion."
"Is this what makes you Lord Luo Feng?"
Lord Luo Feng smiled and said,
"Don't praise me too much, Himeko. I'll get arrogant."
[Herta: This guy, he's actually getting arrogant! Then let me ask you, have you ever been in love?]
Hearing this, Lisa immediately looked over curiously.
Not only that, Himeko, La Signora, and others, as well as the Tivat People observing the situation through Cloud Retainer's perspective, also pricked up their ears curiously.
Lord Luo Feng: "Well, guess?"
[Herta: I'm not a child, I'm not guessing! Ahhh, this is driving me crazy!]
[Screwllum: Calm down, Herta. We still need to maintain the stability of the Simulated Universe.]
[Ruan Mei: Herta, aren't you curious about the existence the Gold-haired mercenary leader mentioned before losing her breath?]
Hearing Ruan Mei's words, Herta indeed calmed down quite a bit.
[Herta: That's right, could the mercenary Leader be referring to tayzzyronth the propagation?]
[Screwllum: If that's the case, then her actions were to make tayzzyronth the propagation be born? And her motive came from that unknown gibberish?]
[Ruan Mei: If that's the case, then the owner who left this gibberish might be the culprit who caused tayzzyronth the propagation to be born.]
"Could the one who left this gibberish be the Terminus?"
March 7th murmured with a curious expression."
If that's truly the case, then the Terminus might indeed be the culprit who caused the Aeon of Propagation to be born."
"However, with the concept of [Terminus], it doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing."
Himeko mused.
"In this situation, could it be that the Aeon of Elation is looking for fun?
"La Signora said uncertainly."Aeon of Elation, it seems that's not impossible either."
"After all, that soldier seemed to have gotten the gibberish from the bug that received the Aeon of Elation's Blessing."
"You agree, right, Luo Feng?"
Lisa looked at Lord Luo Feng with a smiling expression.
"Who knows,"
Lord Luo Feng shrugged and said,
"More importantly, I think we should move on to the next scene."
As he spoke, the surrounding scene indeed began to undergo huge changes.
The familiar smell of gunpowder, the familiar smell of blood.
Himeko, La Signora, and others all frowned involuntarily when they saw the battlefield appearing again.
But soon, everyone discovered that their identities were not mercenaries, but members of the army
.And what they were doing was not fighting mercenaries, but simply slaughtering various bugs.
"That's right, the mercenary's Leader is dead."
"Without an opponent, that Leader naturally continued her path of conquest."Cloud Retainer said.
Nahida: "Are these bugs going to be completely slaughtered?"
Although the bugs were also instinctively escaping, devouring, and propagating.
Their speed simply couldn't keep up with the rate of annihilation.
"It's a bit of a shame.
"Dr. sighed.Hearing this, La Signora immediately gave Dr. a look of disgust.
"Speaking of which, this scene feels somewhat familiar."
"During the previous Simulated Universe trip, the Aeon of Propagation seemed to have been born in a scene like this!"
Lisa looked around the surrounding environment for a while, then murmured with a slight frown.
[Kaveh: Now that Lisa mentions it, I realize this is indeed the scene we saw during the first simulation of the Swarm Disaster.]
[Faruzan: So, next we will see the birth of the Aeon of Propagation once again.]
[Alhaitham: Compared to the last time, we have learned a lot about what happened before the Aeon of Propagation's birth. Those events can be said to be the preconditions for the Aeon of Propagation's birth.]
[Venti: As expected, with three geniuses jointly maintaining the Simulated Universe, the Simulated Universe can display even more things.]
[Wriothesley: It's ironic that people were originally slaughtering the bug swarm, but soon, it will be the bug swarm's turn to slaughter humanity.]
Thinking of the scene from the first time seeing the bug swarms feeding on various creatures,and then looking at the scene of the bug swarms being continuously slaughtered before them,
For some reason, everyone felt a little uneasy.
However, no matter how much people lamented,It would not affect the scene displayed in the Simulated Universe.
"It should be starting."
Lord Luo Feng looked in one direction and murmured.
"Starting?"
Himeko blinked and looked in the direction Lord Luo Feng was staring.
Ahead, the bugs that were originally fighting or fleeing suddenly stopped all movement, either self-splitting or mating with each other.
All the bugs were propagating in their own ways.In an instant, countless new individuals began to be born, and then even more individuals died due to the flames of war.
"What are they doing?"
"Why did they suddenly start rapid The Propagation?"
La Signora asked, frowning.
"I think it's because they feel that fighting, fleeing, and so on are no longer effective."
"In order to preserve their species, they instinctively chose to constantly propagate."
Dr. said."Instinctive The Propagation, huh? It's just like tayzzyronth the propagation."
"Indeed, the reason why the Aeon of Propagation opened up the Path of Propagation is closely related to what is happening here."
Welt Yang said.
"Luo Feng, what are you looking at?"
Lisa saw Luo Feng staring intently in one direction and asked curiously.
"Over there, where the beetles are gathered."
Luo Feng said."Beetles?"
Lisa narrowed her eyes, and after a moment, indeed found the beetles whose numbers were rapidly decreasing.
"Is there anything special about these insects?"
Cloud Retainer asked.
"Of course, don't you think that among the many bugs present, the image of the lower half of the Aeon of Propagation's body is most similar to those beetles?"
Luo Feng said.
"It does seem that way."
"Wait, do you mean the Aeon of Propagation will be born from those beetles?"
Dr. asked curiously.
Luo Feng smiled mysteriously.
In his eyes, the number of beetles was still constantly decreasing due to the war.Soon their number reached the tens, then single digits, and finally became just one.
Just then, Lisa and the other Teyvat Passengers, Himeko and the other Trailblazer, felt their bodies tremble involuntarily.An inexplicable feeling made them instinctively look at that last beetle.
Afterwards, everyone saw a scene that was enough to astonish everyone.
They saw that the last beetle actually rushed towards the sky amidst flesh, broken shells, and mucus, leaving the slaughter and gunpowder smoke in an instant.
At the same time, vast energy gathered on its body, and its form was constantly expanding and changing.
After a few breaths, tayzzyronth the propagation, familiar to Lisa, Dr., and the others, appeared before everyone's eyes.
During this time, bugs continuously gathered towards it, spontaneously exchanging various pheromones and spontaneously propagating.Dozens of different types of bugs intertwined and mated, and then quickly gave birth to completely new bug branches.
Then, the side branches mated with other side branches.
In an instant, countless completely new bug individuals were born,and were clearly displayed in the eyes of Luo Feng, Lisa, Cloud Retainer, and the others.
[Navia: As expected, seeing the Aeon of Propagation again, I still feel a strong sense of unease.]
[Wriothesley: That being said, the authority of the Aeon of Propagation is indeed quite formidable.]
[Alhaitham: Even though they are all bugs, there must still be reproductive isolation between different types of bugs,]
[but the power of the Aeon of Propagation directly made the reproductive isolation between different types of bugs seem non-existent.]
[Kaveh: In just this instant, who knows how many completely new bug species have appeared.]
[Tighnari: And this is just the beginning. When tayzzyronth the propagation leaves this world and goes to the vast Universe, surely even more bugs will be born.]
[Barbara: If... if tayzzyronth the propagation were to descend upon Teyvat,]
[would the bugs of Teyvat also break reproductive isolation, constantly propagate, and give birth to bugs of different types?]
[Albedo: That should be correct, and the bugs born because of the Aeon of Propagation likely won't be those frail and weak ones.]
[Kaiya: Yes, even now, thinking about the bugs that have gained the power of The Propagation devouring living beings,]
[and using various living beings as nourishment to propagate their offspring, I still feel my scalp tingle.]
[Rosaria: Dr.'s split self will turn into bugs. Given this, I even suspect that the authority of the Aeon of Propagation might even affect humans.]
[Yelan: Are you saying that Tayzzyronth would make humans also give birth to bugs?]
[Rosaria: Not only that, I even think that if the Aeon of Propagation were to pass through Teyvat,]
[the humans of Teyvat would frantically exchange pheromones like the bugs surrounding the Star of Decay and the Aeon of Propagation, constantly exchanging pheromones.]
[Yanfei: Exchanging pheromones... that's what happens between couples, right? Hiss, I suddenly feel so scared!]
[Faruzan: The power of the Aeon of Propagation wouldn't make human men and women forget themselves,]
[arbitrarily find someone, or even someone they don't like, to propagate offspring, right? And the offspring are bugs?!]
[Alhaitham: Although this conjecture is quite terrifying, I have to say it is very consistent with the authority of the Aeon of Propagation.]
[Dehya: It... it shouldn't be like that! We clearly saw before that the power of the Aeon of Propagation only affected bugs,]
[it shouldn't make humans forget themselves and casually find someone to propagate with, and even give birth to bugs, right?]
[Kaveh: That's only because there were only bugs around the Aeon of Propagation,]
[if there were human men and women around It, no one knows if such a thing would happen.]
[Dehya: This is too terrifying. As expected, I still don't want to believe that the authority of the Aeon of Propagation would affect humans.]
[Charlotte: Ye... Yes, the power of the Aeon of Propagation can definitely only affect bugs!!!]
The authority of the Aeon of Propagation affecting humans and making humans exchange pheromones like bugs is too terrifying.
And humans giving birth to bugs is even more frightening to the Tivat People.
Just thinking about such a scene, many people instinctively didn't want to believe that the power of the Aeon of Propagation would affect humans.
However, even so, the discussion surrounding the authority of the Aeon of Propagation was still hard to stop.
After all, as things stand, there is already one Tivat Person who has embarked on the Path of Propagation.
This made the Tivat People have to pay more and more attention to the matter of tayzzyronth the propagation.
What the intensely discussing Tivat People didn't notice was,within the Simulated Universe, a giant eye had appeared on the horizon at some point,taking in the birth of tayzzyronth the propagation and the situation around It.
It wasn't until that giant eye seemed to sense something and suddenly turned towards Luo Feng's direction,
that Lisa and the others beside Luo Feng, and the audience in Teyvat, realized something was wrong.
Only a mysterious, grand voice, like a musical ensemble, was heard coming from the direction of the giant eye,falling upon everyone, including Luo Feng.
"..[the trailblaze]..."
"That is!"
Lisa, La Signora, and the others looked at the giant eyeball in surprise.
However, before everyone could ask Luo Feng questions out of surprise,the surrounding space suddenly shattered, and everyone returned to the space composed of data streams.
[Herta: That was close, the Simulated Universe almost collapsed.
Thankfully, the interruption was timely enough, otherwise, we would have had to simulate again.]
Within the space, Herta's voice echoed beside the bewildered crowd's ears."
What just happened? What was that giant eye all about?"
"Why does It feel like It was monitoring Tayzzyronth?"
Cloud Retainer said in surprise.
"And why did It look at Lord Luo Feng afterwards and utter the words [the trailblaze]..."
"Wait, why does this scene look so familiar?"
La Signora seemed to have thought of something and looked at Luo Feng with extreme surprise.
"Could it be that eye belongs to a certain Aeon?"
"It couldn't be Terminus, could It?"
The Doctor mumbled to himself.
.....
Chapter 164: The Aeon of Order Exposed; Where the The Propagation Aeon Passes, Humanity Will Also Be Affected!
"Luo Feng, you must know something, right?"
Himeko asked with a smile.Hearing this, March 7th, Lisa, and the others all curiously turned their gaze to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng shrugged, looked at the sky, and said to Herta:"Herta, don't you know the owner of that eye?"
[Herta: I don't know. All I can perceive here is that it's the eye of a certain Aeon.]
[Herta: It's because its sudden gaze in your direction almost caused the Simulated Universe to crash again.]
[Herta: Seriously, I had already reduced the probability of the The Propagation Aeon's potential aggressive behavior towards you, but then another new Aeon appeared.][
Herta: Thankfully, Ruan Mei and Screwllum were here this time, and they barely managed to prevent the Simulated Universe's system from crashing.]
[Screwllum: It is an honor to be of assistance to Miss Herta.]
[Ruan Mei: Luo Feng, do you have any impression of that eye?]
A mysterious voice emanated from the giant eye, uttering the words "Trailblaze."
And Luo Feng seemed to know many things.
Coupled with Luo Feng's special identity.Therefore, many people in the field, including Ruan Mei, believed that Luo Feng knew the owner of that eye.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken."
"I think that should be the eye of the Aeon of Order."
Luo Feng shrugged and said.
[Ningguang: Aeon of Order!!!]
[Keqing: Is that the Aeon who was later absorbed by another Aeon?]
[Yelan: I didn't expect it to target the The Propagation Aeon so quickly.]
[Zhongli: As the Aeon of Order, it probably sensed the disorder of the The Propagation Aeon, which is why it turned its gaze towards the The Propagation Aeon.]
[Venti: I wonder if this Aeon of Order and the The Propagation Aeon will fight first.]
[Charlotte: I'm more curious if the Aeon of Order would have sought out Luo Feng to say something if the previous scene hadn't been interrupted. That way, we might have understood Luo Feng better.]
[Jean: There should be many more opportunities like this in the future, right?]
[Rosaria: For now, let's try to understand the Tayzzyronth as much as possible, after all, we now have a troublesome person here who has embarked on the Path of Propagation.]
[Faruzan: What's more troublesome is that this person is also a scholar who wields forbidden technology.]
[Keqing: It seems we need to pay more attention to the Fatui's affairs from now on. I wonder if the Fatui and Snezhnaya have any plans to keep a close watch on the Doctor.]
[Ningguang: That's probably difficult, after all, that Doctor is the Second Seat of the Fatui Harbingers. Even in Snezhnaya, not many people can control him.]
...
[Ruan Mei: The Aeon of Order, huh? No wonder there was a chorus of voices when its words were heard earlier.]
[Herta: Interesting. The birth of the The Propagation Aeon actually attracted the attention of the Aeon of Order. This is a point worth noting.]
[Herta: However, the entire process of the The Propagation Aeon's birth is indeed the most important thing to record right now!]
[Herta: Just as it was written in the manuscript of that unlucky genius killed by Polka Kakamond.]
[Herta: The The Propagation Aeon did indeed ascend to godhood in loneliness and amidst the smoke of war.]
[Herta: The ravings of that army leader and the ravings of the mercenary leader pushed that last beetle to godhood.]
Herta's excited voice echoed in the data stream space, also bringing Lisa, March 7th, and the others, who were still surprised by the news of the Aeon of Order, back to their senses.Everyone thought of the previous images related to the The Propagation Aeon, and their hearts were filled with emotion."It is indeed moving.""I never thought that we, with our narrow perspectives, would be able to witness the birth of a Aeon and the reasons for its birth from beginning to end."Cloud Retainer exclaimed.Even as an adeptus of Liyue, Cloud Retainer had long known how narrow the perspectives of Teyvat people were.Teyvat's perspective was even narrower than Yarilo-VI, which had been affected by the Stellaron for hundreds of years.And yet, they were able to witness the birth of a Aeon with their own eyes. How could Cloud Retainer not be surprised by this?"This is all thanks to Luo Feng.""If it weren't for Luo Feng, we wouldn't have been able to see that astonishing scene at all."Lisa looked at Luo Feng and said."No one would have thought that before the powerful The Propagation Aeon was born, it was such a weak beetle."Nahida shook her head and said."However, there are still some unclear points.""I always feel that there's a big hand behind the The Propagation Aeon's ascension to godhood, pushing everything forward."Cloud Retainer said with a deep frown."To be able to learn this much is already quite a luxury, isn't it?""This is much better than just seeing the The Propagation Aeon last time.""Compared to some mastermind, I'm more curious about what that last beetle was thinking when it became a god?""How did a vast power suddenly surround it, pushing it to become a god?"The lady frowned, her beautiful face filled with confusion.
[Ruan Mei: I imagine that after sensing that it was the only beetle left alive, that extreme The Propagation instinct, incomprehensible to us, allowed it to touch Imaginary Energy and then open up a Path.]
[Herta: What an extremely pure will of The Propagation. Ascending to godhood with such a will, no wonder tayzzyronth the propagation caused all those future events.]
"Can a pure will make a creature capable of ascending to godhood?"
"This is truly... interesting."
The Doctor muttered to himself, looking at his hands.
[Dehya: I always feel like this Doctor is thinking something.]
[Rosaria: He probably saw that even a mere insect could ascend to godhood, so he thinks he can too.]
[Navia: No way, how could that be so easy to succeed?]
[Xingqiu: It's no wonder, after all, tayzzyronth the propagation was just a weak insect before becoming a god.]
[Kaveh: After all, the insects we encounter in our daily lives are creatures that can be easily swatted away. To be honest, even now, thinking about that beetle ascending to godhood, I am still very surprised.]
[Dori: Who would have thought that an insect with little thought would burst forth with such a will?]
[Alhaitham: Perhaps, precisely because it was an insect, the will of The Propagation it unleashed was even purer. As beings with complex thoughts, it would be difficult for us to possess such a powerful will of The Propagation as theirs.]
[Tartaglia: If you put it that way, the Doctor has no chance of wielding the Path of Propagation.]
[Rosaria: Unless that guy completely turns himself into an insect.]
[Columbina: If possible, I hope not to become a colleague with an insect.]
[Ningguang: Unfortunately, your Doctor is already very close to being an insect.]
[Columbina:...]
...
"Indeed interesting, but what's interesting is your thought."
Luo Feng glanced at the Doctor, suppressing a smile.
Then, he looked up at the sky and asked:
"Herta, the surrounding data is a bit unstable. Can the Simulated Universe continue?"
[Herta: Of course it can continue. Just a moment, it'll be ready soon.]
[Herta: The moment the The Propagation Aeon was born, its data showed strong fluctuations, and the appearance of the Aeon of Order had an even greater impact on the data.]
[Herta: But it's okay, the data has stabilized, we don't need to re-simulate.]
[Herta: Alright, let's start the next scene.]
As if worried that Luo Feng would stop the test, Herta, Ruan Mei, and Screwllum quickly stabilized the Simulated Universe.
In the blink of an eye, everyone found themselves in a hospital.
Busy doctors and nurses were walking and communicating quickly in the corridors.
Every face was filled with negative emotions such as fear, surprise, and sadness.
Just as everyone was wondering, a young nurse suddenly fell to the ground as she passed Luo Feng and the others.
Seeing this, Luo Feng timely extended his right hand to help her up.
[Herta: There she is, a character who is likely key. Luo Feng, quickly, get close to her and ask about the situation here.]
"Are you alright, Miss Nurse?"
Luo Feng asked.
"S-Sorry, I'm a bit tired."
"I've been working for a whole day straight."
The weary young nurse sighed deeply and said.
Luo Feng: "Shall I help you rest for a bit?"
Nurse: "This... alright, I really do need to rest for a while."
Luo Feng nodded and followed the path the nurse indicated, leading her to the lounge.
"Speaking of which, are you a family member of a pregnant woman?"
"Or is one of you pregnant?"
After drinking a sip of water, the nurse's gaze swept over the women present, such as Himeko, La Signora, and Lisa.
When she said the word "pregnant," there was no Blessing in her eyes, only sadness and worry.
"No."
Lisa shook her head and said."That's great, it's good that none of you are pregnant."
"During this time, you must not get pregnant."
After letting out a sigh of relief, the nurse then warned Lisa, La Signora, and the others with a serious expression.La Signora didn't feel shy because of the nurse's words.
Instead, she asked the nurse with a puzzled look:
"You seem very reluctant to see pregnant women?"
"Why is that?"
Nurse: "Don't you know what happened here on Mandalay Island?
"Luo Feng: "We are outsiders, we just arrived here. If possible, could you tell us about the situation here?"
Hearing this, the nurse looked at Luo Feng and the others in surprise and said:
"Are you travelers? To land at this time, it's really bad timing."
"Sigh, you don't know, this Mandalay Island is in big trouble."
"Not long ago, a giant creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of an insect flew over this island."
"At first, everyone didn't think it mattered."
"But after that, everyone quickly realized something was wrong."
"Can you imagine, everything related to The Propagation has undergone tremendous changes."
"Men and women are frantically creating new lives."
"Some of these men and women don't even know each other."
"Some are even enemies, but they still mated and became pregnant."
"Not only that, these pregnant women reached their due date in a very short time!"
"Because of this, our hospital has admitted a large number of pregnant women."
"Our work has also increased accordingly."
"Then..."
Speaking of this, the nurse's body suddenly trembled.
As if she had thought of something terrifying.
"Upper body human, lower body insect?"
"Is that Tayzzyronth?!"
Cloud Retainer murmured.
"Not just insects, can He also make humans exchange pheromones for reproduction like insects?"
"This is really not good news."Lisa said.
"Yes, this news is quite unpleasant."La Signora frowned her beautiful brows and looked deeply at Dr..
Thinking of how even enemies mentioned by the nurse could exchange genetic pheromones due to the influence of the Aeon of Propagation, La Signora felt a wave of nausea.
Not only La Signora and Lisa, but even the Teyvat audience who saw everything on the screen felt strong ripples in their hearts.
Everyone's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
[Albedo: The power of the Aeon of Propagation can indeed affect humans.]
[Dehya: Damn it, I still don't want to believe it.
Why can the Aeon of Propagation make humans selflessly exchange pheromones or whatever? We're not insects!]
[Candace: Actually, it's understandable if you think about it. After all, the power of the Aeon is immense.
Even if Tayzzyronth was originally a relatively ordinary insect, after ascending to godhood, His power is not something mortals can resist.]
[Candace: Naturally, mortals cannot resist His power over The Propagation.]
[Dehya: You're too calm, Candace!]
[Candace: After all, this matter is already in front of us, and there's nothing we can do even if we don't believe it.
I even think the nurse's unfinished sentence is about the pregnant women giving birth to insects.]
[Dehya: Don't... don't say it, I'm going to throw up.]
[Lumime: I've already thrown up and am ready to keep throwing up.]
[Paimon: I'm ready too. By the way, Luo Feng shouldn't take us to see pregnant women giving birth to... giving birth to offspring, right?]
[Rosaria: If possible, I also don't want to see these scenes, I feel like I'll have nightmares.]
[Navia: I think I can have nightmares just by imagining it.]
......
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine."
Luo Feng patted the nurse's shoulder and comforted her.
"Thank you."
The nurse looked at Luo Feng with complex eyes.Just then, a scream suddenly came from somewhere.
Along with it, there was the constant sound of breaking glass.
"What happened?"
La Signora looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.
As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse had already rushed out of the lounge.
Seeing this, everyone quickly followed.
When everyone turned the corner and arrived at the location of the nursery.
They saw a large number of insects constantly flying out of the nursery.
They smashed the glass and flew straight towards the sky.
Not only that, insects were also constantly flying out of various rooms in the hospital, rushing towards the sky.
Everyone looked around and even saw insects flying out from the direction of the delivery rooms, accompanied by the screams of human women.
The few people present were not ordinary people.
With just one glance, everyone realized what had happened in those delivery rooms.
For a moment, the faces of La Signora, Lisa, Himeko, and the others turned a little pale.
[Lumime: Uh, sorry, I really can't help it, I'm throwing up!]
[Alice: Not using humans as nourishment, but directly having humans give birth to insects, this is really... disgusting.]
Rosaria: Compared to all this, I suddenly feel like the Doctor's clones turning into bugs isn't a big deal anymore.
Venti: The Propagation Aeon Tayzzronth, it's a good thing it has already fallen.
I wouldn't want such a dangerous Aeon to descend upon Teyvat.
Neuvillette: If such a Aeon were to descend upon Teyvat, the impact on Teyvat would be even greater than the Aeon of Destruction descending upon Teyvat.
Wriothesley: Indeed, compared to direct destruction, the Path of Propagation's actions are even more capable of destroying a world's will.
Furina: The Fatui's Doctor, he wouldn't really want to wield the Path of Propagation, would he?!
Tartaglia: Even as a fellow Fatui Harbingers, this time I have to say, I hope the Doctor doesn't continue to delve into The Power of Destiny of the Path of Propagation.
Servant: Hmm, too deep a contact with the power of The Propagation could indeed cause significant problems.
But then again, do these flying insects leaving the hospital mean the end of the matter? Can the people here still return to normal?
Charlotte: They should be able to.
Servant: Hard to say! And I'm very curious, is the scene displayed in the hospital truly the limit of the Aeon of Propagation's authority?
...
Chapter 165: Doctor Pregnant with Bugs? The Power of The Propagation Can Even Affect Paintings!
Tartaglia: Servant, you don't actually think the Aeon of Propagation can do anything more terrifying than making humans give birth to bugs, do you?
Servant: Who knows? After all, it's a Aeon. I can't imagine what kind of authority it possesses.
Tartaglia: Humans giving birth to bugs or something like that is already exaggerated enough.
I don't believe it has any more exaggerated authority.
Servant: When the hospital scene was revealed before, we also thought it was impossible, but the fact is, humans can indeed give birth to insects due to the Aeon of Propagation's authority.
Tartaglia:...Albedo: Indeed, given the Aeon of Propagation's ability to break reproductive isolation between different insect species, it's possible that similar situations could happen to humans.
Tartaglia: Humans breaking reproductive isolation...
Ugh, that's too disgusting, don't even talk about it!
Paimon: That's disgusting, I'm going to throw up again.
Dehya: I hate The Propagation Aeon Tairn even more, and I hate the Fatui's Doctor even more.
Yae Miko: Although it's disgusting, Albedo's concerns are not unfounded.
I even think that The Propagation Aeon Tayzzronth's authority could cause even more terrifying things than what Albedo mentioned.
Kujou Sara: Just humans breaking reproductive isolation is already exaggerated enough; there shouldn't be anything more serious than that.
Kamisato Ayaka: I can't imagine anything more serious than that.
Kamisato Ayato: Don't think too much about these things, Ayaka.
Yae Miko: Nothing is set in stone, anything is possible. Let's keep watching.
[Herta: When the Aeon of Propagation was alive, its authority could even affect humans, so it's no wonder it was targeted by the Aeon of Order.]
[Ruan Mei: Given the Aeon of Order's attitude, it clearly wouldn't ignore the actions of The Propagation Aeon Tayzzyronth.]
[Herta: The fall of the Aeon of Propagation should be inseparable from the Aeon of Order.]
[Herta: If we dig deeper, I wonder if we can see the scene of the Aeon of Propagation and the Aeon of Order, two now-vanished Aeons, clashing.]
"They're flying away, all of them."
The nurse staggered to the broken window, watching the dense swarm of flying insects in the sky, muttering.
Even though the number of flying insects in the sky had reached a terrifying figure,flying insects were still constantly gathering from all directions.
Clearly, similar events were not only happening in the hospital where Luo Feng, Lisa, and others were.
"Are you alright?"
Lisa supported the somewhat shaky nurse and asked.
"I'm fine, in fact, seeing this scene makes me a little happy."
"You know, if they all fly away,"
"will things here return to normal afterwards?"
The nurse looked at Lisa expectantly and asked.
Lisa: "..."
She couldn't answer.
If she could, she would want to affirm the nurse's thoughts.But she didn't understand the situation here well enough,
so she naturally didn't know if the people who had been affected by the Aeon of Propagation's power could return to normal.
So, she could only look at Luo Feng for help.However, before Luo Feng could answer, the nurse showed a desperate expression again.
"Return to normal, haha, how could things here return to normal?"
The nurse's body suddenly went limp as if she had thought of something.
If Lisa hadn't been supporting her, she would have been sitting on the ground by now.
"You should rest for a while longer."
Lisa looked around, helped her to an empty room, and had her sit on the hospital bed.
However, the nurse seemed to have lost her mind, continuously muttering things like
"it won't recover."
Seeing this, Luo Feng raised his hand and placed it on her forehead.As the healing power fell upon her, the nurse finally became a little more energetic.
"Although I don't know how you did it, thank you anyway."
The nurse gave a bitter smile and nodded to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng: "It's nothing, just a small favor."
At this moment, the Doctor asked curiously:"
Nurse, you kept saying that it couldn't be restored. Is there some hidden secret in all of this?
"The nurse nodded with a bitter smile and said:
"You are outsiders, so it's normal that you don't understand the situation here."
"This Mandalay Island is an isolated island on this large planet, Laplacian."
"It is isolated from the world due to ocean currents."
"Because of this, the people on the island resist their fear of loneliness and death by giving birth to life."
"There is almost nothing here except love and loneliness."
"I don't know if it's because of these things that disaster found us."
[Alhaitham: A place that advocates for the birth of life, would it be a coincidence for the Aeon of Propagation to find this place?]
[Kaveh: It always feels like fate. Could there be some mastermind behind all of this?]
[Faruzan: The Propagation Aeon Tairn, why are there so many unsolved mysteries surrounding it?]
The nurse took a deep breath and continued to speak amidst everyone's surprise:
"The people on Mandalay Island have a ritual."
"Islanders draw colorful wings on the shoulders of their family photos.
""These gushing colorful flames symbolize the birth of life."
"Can you imagine, when that creature, half-human and half-insect, swept across this island,"
"everyone whose photo had such colorful wings immediately became pregnant with life."
"Even some people hadn't even had time to mate with their loved ones."
"Naturally, these new lives were not human, but the insects that flew into the sky.
"At this point, the nurse couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
Clearly, speaking these words had already broken her mental defenses.Now, she needed a good cry and release.
[Paimon: You're kidding, right? Just drawing a symbol of reproduction on a photo can make the person in the photo pregnant with bugs?]
[Paimon: This, this is too exaggerated.]
[Rosaria: Indeed, even though I feel that the Aeon of Propagation's authority is not limited to what was mentioned before, what this nurse is saying now is truly hard to believe.]
[Navia: Taking a photo and drawing a symbol of reproduction on it can make you pregnant with bugs... I feel like I might be afraid to face the camera in the future.]
[Dori: Indeed, I don't dare let anyone take pictures of me now.]
[Charlotte: No way, isn't that a blow to the journalism profession?]
[Wriothesley: There's nothing we can do about it. The power of the Aeon of Propagation is simply too exaggerated.
I even think that drawing a symbol representing The Propagation on a man's body could make him conceive a bug.]
[Tartaglia: That's... a bit scary.]
[Zhongli: As expected, Aeons are deities that represent concepts. The concept represented by the Aeon of Propagation has achieved this point.]
[Neuvillette: Perhaps when the Aeon of Propagation passes by, as long as there is a creature with the thought of The Propagation in its heart, it will give birth to a bug.]
[Venti: That's truly an efficient yet terrifying way of reproduction!]
......
"The symbol you mentioned, is it this kind of symbol?"
Suddenly, Dr. took out a photo and asked the nurse.
The person in the photo was none other than the nurse herself.
"You, where did you get that?"
The nurse looked at the photo and said in horror.Especially after seeing the half-drawn wing symbol on her shoulder in the photo.
"I found it in the lounge earlier."
If the other half of this symbol is completed, will you be able to..."
Before Dr.'s words were finished, Lisa snatched the photo from his hand and stuffed it into the nurse's hand.
Although she was also very curious about the power related to the Aeon of Propagation that the nurse mentioned.
But she didn't want to see the nurse also conceive a bug.
Even though she knew the nurse was just a life simulated in the Simulated Universe.The nurse clutched the photo tightly, but still explained to Dr.:
"It's this symbol. Once the other half of the wing is completed, it will be a complete life symbol.
"Hearing this, Dr. indeed showed an interested expression."If you are interested in this, Dr."
"How about I take a photo of you here?"
"Let's see if you can give birth to a bug?"
"You're so interested in The Propagation, you must also be very interested in whether men can give birth to bugs, right?"
Lisa said with a smile.
"Right! There happens to be a camera here."
"Want to give it a try, Dr.?"
La Signora picked up the camera placed on the table nearby and said to Dr. with interest.
"Testing... It seems like I could gather some good data."
Dr. rested his chin on one hand, muttering to himself and thinking for a moment before looking at La Signora with a smile.
"Take a picture of me, La Signora."
Dr. said.
"Are you serious?"
La Signora's expression froze, looking at Dr. in surprise.Nahida, Cloud Retainer, Himeko, and the others also looked at Dr. in astonishment.
Dr. didn't say much, directly reached out and took the camera from La Signora's hand, and took a picture of himself.
Because it was an instant print photo, Dr. quickly got the physical photo in his hand.Then, he found a pen and began drawing the wing symbolizing life on his shoulder in the photo based on his previous Remembrance.
[Dehya: No way, this guy is actually serious?!]
[Tartaglia: Dr., this man, is pretty ruthless towards himself.]
[Balladeer: I wouldn't be so sure. He's currently in the Simulated Universe, so he won't actually die.
He probably wants to use the immortal nature of the Simulated Universe to understand the Aeon of Propagation as much as possible.]
[Kaveh: Indeed, if I were in his position, I might make the same decis... Never mind, it's a bit disgusting.]
[Azar: Dr.'s will as a scholar is recognized by my Grand Sage of Sumeru.]
[Rosaria: A bit troublesome! Dr. bears the Path of Propagation. If he perceives more about the Aeon of Propagation through this experiment, he might go even further on the Path of Propagation.]
[Yae Miko: It seems that when Dr. returns, we need to pay more attention to the Fatui's Dr..]
......
"No, don't draw anymore."
"If you give birth to a bug with your body structure, you will die!"
"Stop quickly!"The nurse looked at Dr.'s actions and finally reacted.
She screamed, trying to stop Dr..
However, at this moment, Dr. had already completed the drawing.Immediately after, a strange energy descended upon Dr.'s body.
Dr.'s belly instantly grew larger, then even larger, and then it actually burst open directly.
Under everyone's gaze, a giant insect flew out from the bloody flesh, flying towards the swarm of bugs in the sky outside the window.
Seeing this scene, the nurse's eyes rolled back, and she fainted from fright.
"So that's how it is. Even men can give birth to insects because of the rune of The Propagation?""
Hmm... It seems it's not just that, but also because my mind was thinking about The Propagation?"
"And this power from the [The Propagation] Path... is really interesting, hehe, hahaha."
Dr. covered his forehead and laughed heartily.
As if he didn't care at all that a large opening had burst in his belly.
"You guy are too disgusting, aren't you?"
"Is your head really a human head?"
La Signora frowned tightly, looking at Dr. with disgust and asking.
"Hehe, of course it's a human head."
Dr. turned around with a smile and looked at La Signora.
Only then did everyone realize that the wound on Dr.'s belly had already mostly healed.
"Is it the strong vitality from the Path of Propagation?"
Nahida muttered."No wonder this guy dared to do such a thing."
"So he calculated that even after doing what he did just now, he wouldn't exit the Simulated Universe."
Cloud Retainer said.
At this moment, March 7th quietly came over to Luo Feng and carefully tugged at Luo Feng's sleeve.
"Hey, Luo Feng, isn't this passenger of yours a bit too strange?"
"A normal person wouldn't do something like that, right?"
March 7th said in a low voice, while looking at Dr. with some distaste.
"That guy's head is indeed different from ordinary people."
"You saw it, what normal person would make their own slice clones?"
Luo Feng shrugged and looked back at Dr..
"But I think, he probably has to leave the Simulated Universe temporarily."
Luo Feng muttered.
"Leave?"
"Wait, what's going on?"
March 7th looked at Dr. strangely, only to see that Dr.'s body had actually started to gradually turn into a cocoon.
Dr. also noticed the anomaly, his brows furrowed as he looked at Luo Feng with a puzzled expression.
He tried to speak, but found that he could only make chirping sounds like an insect.
Immediately after, Dr. was completely enveloped by the cocoon.
Meanwhile, outside the Simulated Universe
.Dr.'s body suddenly opened its eyes, looking around with a hint of surprise.
"This is... Hertas Office?"
Dr. muttered softly.
"That's right! This is indeed Hertas Office."
"Congratulations, you successfully died."
"Of course, it's not a true death."Herta's voice came over, drawing Dr.'s gaze.
"My body turned into an insect?"
"But why did this suddenly happen?"
"Wait, that feeling just now... could it be because of my Path?"
Dr. said in surprise, looking at the projection screen of the Simulated Universe in front of Ms. Herta.
On the screen, an insect's antenna was tearing open the cocoon, revealing its form from within.
"Looks like you have some self-awareness."
"You should be glad that what happened just now occurred in the Simulated Universe."
"Otherwise, you would have already turned into a mindless insect."
"However, your actions did provide me with some interesting data."Herta said."It is my honor to be able to help Ms. Herta."
Dr. said with a smile.
"Alright, stand aside and don't disturb me while I observe the data."
Herta waved her hand at Dr., then refocused her attention on Luo Feng and the others.
Dr. didn't get angry, he quietly retreated to the side, his mind pondering everything he had perceived when he turned into an insect in the Simulated Universe.
That feeling just now, could it be that the Aeon of Propagation ignited The Power of Destiny of my Path of Propagation?
Dr. thought in his heart, his brows slightly furrowed.
