Chapter 17: Enemy of the Herrscher

Chapter 17: Enemy of the Herrscher

In the evening, Ai Yue returned to his current residence and laboratory alone.

 Pardofelis needed to move into the reconnaissance team's dormitory as arranged by Fire Moth, while Aponia was arranged into the fusion warrior base, temporarily living next door to Elysia, so now there was no one around him and it suddenly became quiet.

 After experiencing a few days of lively life, Ai Yue was a little uncomfortable with the sudden return to silence.

 He looked at the slightly empty room, sighed first, then took out some banknotes from his bag and began to write something down.

 Successfully entering the Fire Moth means that his first goal has been achieved and it is time to re-plan the next stage.

 Before that, let's sort out the current information.

 Ai Yue wrote the words "Seventh Herrscher" and "Eighth Herrscher" at the top and bottom of the white paper respectively, confirming his current time point.

 The Australian wildfires occurred about a few months ago, which was also the time when the first fusion warrior "Kevin Kaslana" was born.

 Ai Yue wrote Kevin's name on the paper, and then wrote down the names of Elysia and Mobius in order.

 In the plot he was familiar with, Elysia intercepted the fusion warrior surgery that Mobius prepared for herself, and thus became the second fusion warrior. Mobius followed closely behind her and became the third fusion warrior.

 Following closely behind is Sakura, the fourth fusion warrior. The fox ears on her head are a sequelae of the operation.

 Ai Yue wrote down Sakura's name and circled it.

 After Kevin became a fusion warrior, voices opposing the creation of monsters gradually emerged within the Fire Moth. These people believed that the presence of Honkai Beast genes in the bodies of fusion warriors was an unstable factor that could very likely cause a disaster.

 In order to stop this plan, they decided to create a fusion warrior to assassinate the leader of the "Fusion Warrior Project", Dr. Mei, and the person chosen at this moment was Sakura.

 However, judging from the relationship between Elysia and others and Sakura, the assassination should have ended. Dr. Mei gained Sakura's joining through exchange of interests, thus thwarting the opposition's plan.

 Of course, Ai Yue is well aware that the opposition will not give up, but their subsequent plans will probably not be implemented in the short term.

 After Sakura and before the Eighth Herrscher, four other people became fusion warriors, including Aponia who had just undergone surgery today.

 The other few people seemed to be called...

 While thinking, Ai Yue wrote down the names "Kosma" and "Hua", and for the last name he just wrote "Dystopia" and stopped abruptly.

 Forget it, let's leave it like this for now.

 After confirming the eight fusion warriors who were currently capable of becoming combat forces, Ai Yue could not help but nodded.

 If one wants to defeat the Eighth Herrscher at the lowest cost, it is definitely not enough to rely on Ai Yue alone, so the combat power of the fusion warrior is also indispensable.

 As for how to get closer to these people, Ai Yue wrote down the four words "birthday party".

 The exact time of Kevin's birthday party is not clear, but it will happen after Aponia becomes a fusion warrior and before the Eighth Herrscher attacks, so he should have a chance to attend. If he can perform well enough at the birthday party, then he may be able to easily win the favor of several fusion warriors.

 If Elysia didn't invite him to help organize the birthday party, then he would have no choice but to do it shamelessly.

 As for the gifts...

 Ai Yue took out Kevin's hair, which had been carefully packed in a plastic bag, from his pocket and smiled.

 His scientific research system can start corresponding scientific research projects based on the materials on the corresponding characters. For example, the "anti-Aponia earmuffs" used by Ai Yue before were developed using Aponia's hair.

 After establishing good relations with the fusion warriors, the next thing to do is to target the Eighth Herrscher.

 There are two eighth Herrschers, "Herrscher of Sentience", in Ai Yue's memory. The Herrscher of Sentience, he is more familiar with has become a funny character for some reason, so it is difficult for him to intuitively feel the other's power as a Herrscher.

 But the Herrscher of Sentience that Ai Yue needs to consider right now is a mortal enemy of civilization. Once she appears, she will mercilessly bring disasters and try to destroy the entire world.

 As a power that every Herrscher possesses, the ability of the Herrscher of Sentience is just as her title suggests, the ability to interfere with the mind, including but not limited to creating illusions, pulling people into dreams, interfering with the five senses, etc.

 Although it may not sound scary, at least not as aggressive as the previous ones that were corrupt and withered or raging fire, but such ability combined with the excellent personal attributes of the Herrscher of Sentience really made the Fire Moth suffer.

 Just like a psychic fusion warrior like Aponia, who can activate her abilities from a long distance, the Herrscher of Sentience does not need to show up at all, and can easily pull a large number of humans into the dreams she creates. Such an operation can not only cause widespread panic and disaster, but also perfectly hide the whereabouts of the Herrscher of Sentience, making it difficult for the Fire Moth to lock on to her position.

 You know, even the Seventh Herrscher who was able to burn the whole of Australia still died at the hands of the fusion warrior Kevin. But if you can't find the enemy at all, then even if you have great skills, it will be difficult to actually fight.

 Ai Yue finally wrote down two goals on the paper: "lock the target" and "avoid large-scale civilization paralysis". The former is used to eliminate the Herrscher of Sentience as soon as possible, while the latter is to minimize the damage of the Herrscher of Sentience to civilization.

 For Ai Yue, the second goal is even more important than the first one, because the fundamental reason why the Herrscher can lead civilization to its end step by step is precisely the gradual erosion of human civilization.

 The Seventh Herrscher turned a continent into scorched earth, the Eighth Herrscher caused serious damage to major cities, the Ninth Herrscher destroyed another continent, the Tenth Herrscher destroyed many important facilities, the Eleventh Herrscher almost destroyed the human resistance, and the Twelfth Herrscher compressed human civilization to only three shelters...

 This disaster that gradually reduces the population and eats away at the foundation of civilization is the terrifying thing about the Herrscher as the "enemy of civilization."

 But that's all.

 Ai Yue was thinking about his plan in his mind, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

 If the Herrscher is the "enemy of civilization", then he must be the "enemy of the Herrscher".

 As someone who understands the power of all Herrschers, no one in this world is more suitable for this title than him.
