"Domain expansion. Silent killing of combatants. Modification..."
At that moment, a strange sound effect appeared out of nowhere. The intro alone was quite mesmerizing, making the hearts of those around them sway along.
The surrounding environment changed in an instant.
"Is this the new thing you want to experiment with?"
MEI, who had entered the area, looked around at the changing scenery with some surprise.
As the Herrscher of Thunder, she is able to keenly perceive changes in her surroundings.
The moment Jiang Qiao recited the incantation, MEI discovered a region defined by a certain area, which had become rich in Honkai energy—equivalent to the core area of the Great Honkai.
Such a place should theoretically be extremely deadly for humans, but strangely... the Honkai energy doesn't seem to be harmful at all.
The corrosiveness that should have been present was completely gone.
...Of course, the strangest thing is that MEI found that she couldn't mobilize those Honkai energies.
If you say that Jiang Qiao, the Herrscher of Origin, is interfering, then it's not a big deal. After all, in terms of control over Honkai energy, the Origin is the number one person below the End.
But these Honkai energies are clearly unclaimed. As a regional Honkai energy ruler other than the two mentioned above, the Herrscher doesn't even acknowledge them... This doesn't make sense!
"Hmm~ Within this realm, everyone's Honkai energy will be extracted—and used to determine the winner through a 'game,' so... violence is prohibited, okay?"
"So--"
"It's time to start~"
As the girl smiled, a massive old machine crashed down—this was the form that the Assassin in her [Alicia] form took.
The Honkai energy from both sides will be used as 'game currency' and put into a lottery.
The pattern is clearly a chibi version of the Thirteen Heroes' avatars—different heroes represent different scores and effects, and only three identical avatars can be used to win, while—three Alicias are the ultimate prize in this game.
While Kosmo was completely bewildered as to why he couldn't make a move, his meager power was converted into Honkai energy and then a lottery was started.
With a ding.
[Aponia] [Kosmo] [Gresh]
Amo couldn't understand why his profile picture was in there—but without a doubt, this result...
[Target personnel detected, triggering the 'Homework' special effect: Strength halved]
The sweet fairy Airi acts as the announcer, broadcasting the game results.
Feeling the power disappear from his body, Kosmo was completely stunned.
Wait... isn't the rule of this game that a match only works if three of them are identical? So there's a penalty for this one?
And what do you mean by this "family group"? Ah Mo, I don't even know those two people!
"Oh dear..."
Jiang 'Ailisia' was also somewhat surprised by the result.
Although this field belongs to him, the 'Sitting Killer Fighter. Modified' has not been modified and was generated entirely on the basis of 'Alicia'.
As it turns out... it seems that because [Alicia] was having too much fun, she added a bunch of strange things to it.
"Well then, it's my turn."
The girl smiled as she slowly clasped her hands together.
Pull the joystick—
One by one, the profile pictures slid off.
[Mebius] [Mebius] [Mebius]
With a clang, three chibi-style snake-shaped avatars lined up in a row.
[Target detected. Triggered 'That Annoying Woman' special effect: Super enhanced local defense, MAX overall recovery ability]
"If Dr. Mebius sees this, he'll definitely come after you for the copyright fees." Even in his perfectly rational state, MEI couldn't help but feel a little flustered upon seeing this result, and muttered this under his breath.
"Hmm~ How could that be~"
"So, game over—now the real battle begins!"
A speck of green light fell into Alicia's hand, and she looked at Kosmo with a kind and amiable expression.
The latter's expression was worse than crying, and she twisted her whole body in pain—you can't play like this! You're putting debuffs on others and cheating on yourself, huh?!
If he still had the idea of fighting before, after being dealt such a blow by the Sitting Killer Fighter, Amo would never want to continue.
Unfortunately, this is a test, how can we give up halfway?
Although this 'despicable' behavior seemed somewhat unfair and inappropriate for the test, Dr. MEI simply wiped his glasses and looked at the data... Huh? What just happened?
In the end, the confident Kosmo was sent flying by a single arrow, falling to the ground and performing a series of 'open mouth and closed eyes.jpg'.
As for why he was sent flying by the bow... Ah Mo almost cried. He mustered his courage to fight the despicable 'Alicia,' thinking that 'Alicia,' who wielded a bow and arrow, wouldn't be very good at close combat. But once he got close, Ah Mo dropped all pretense, grabbing his crystal bow and chasing after Kosmo to smash him—this is definitely the best.jpg
"The Möbius isn't very reliable." 'Alicia' commented with regret as the crystal bow in her hand turned into specks of pink light and vanished—it was completely useless!
The evaluation was even worse than Phyllis; at least Jiang Qiao knew that the effect of three Phyllis was to bring great luck to the winner (the downside was that it would be ineffective if it touched a door).
"How's it going, MEI? How's the data collection?" 'Alicia' smiled as she touched Kosmo's side and pinched his chubby little cheeks.
“If you hadn’t used that weird trick, the data you collected might have been more comprehensive.” MEI rolled her eyes, then casually added, “But it doesn’t matter—this is just for reference anyway.”
"Can it be copied?"
This is clearly the issue that 'Alice' is most concerned about.
While it's true that the twin-tailed Kosmo is cute, shouldn't something as interesting as this be made more widespread? Otherwise, just one bracelet won't be enough.
MEI shook her head, then, as if remembering something, asked quite seriously:
"It's impossible to find an exact replica; we probably won't be able to find that material called 'Attribute Jade,' but we can consider using something else as a substitute..."
Although the beginning was somewhat playful, it must be said that MEI was quite interested in this thing called the "Transformation Bracelet"—unlike most of the 'Alicia' who approached it with a playful attitude, she was genuinely considering analyzing it and trying it out as a warrior of the Fire Moth.
after all...
Even if Kosmo's performance was mediocre, even just the part he showed could compensate for the Firemoth's gradually declining combat power when equipped with it.
The armor can be replaced with Soul Steel Armor—Jiang Qiao brought back technology from the future that includes the 'Key of Blank' technology. As for the hard-to-obtain Honkai energy resistance, it can be implanted through simplified Stigmata combined with 'Imagination' technology. In short, most of the twin-tailed armed forces can be replaced with other technologies, and the average data will not be too different.
The only problem is that they don't have any elemental gems.
The attribute jade can be considered the core product of the 'transformation bracelet' technology.
The source of almost everything supporting the upper limit of the fantasy armor and that kind of idealistic attribute comes from this thing.
Of course, you could use the Herrscher Core as a substitute—but if you did that, then this thing would basically have no practical value.
After all, there are only so many Herrschers in total. If it were the original Herrscher, we could consider using the Herrscher of Domination to try and replace it. But the current Herrscher of Domination, with its Herrscher core that is like sand and has almost no special abilities, is obviously unusable.
But this didn't stump Mei. She turned her gaze to her father and suddenly had an idea, asking seriously:
"Can you construct a crystal by mimicking the structure of an 'attribute gem'?" Alicia.
She knew that 'Alicia' could use some of the powers of the Herrscher of Reason.
The power of the Law of Reason—it can create anything that is possible for humanity.
MEI was unsure whether the power of the Herrscher of Physics, which clearly originated from otherworldly technology, would be effective.
But—no matter how things change, the fundamental principle remains the same.
In her eyes, the most powerful authority of the Herrscher of Reason is not 'reconstruction', but the very inconspicuous 'analysis'.
The ability to 'analyze' is by no means a so-called 'side effect,' after all, it symbolizes the process of humanity's search for 'truth.'
However, most of the time, the impression and effect of that reconstruction ability are more intuitive.
Upon hearing MEI's words, 'Alicia' instantly understood her thoughts and nodded thoughtfully.
"Let me try."
Through the power of 'analysis', Jiang Qiao can glimpse the underlying fundamental particles of the substance 'attribute jade'.
The portion of authority belonging to the Herald of Truth began to turn—the pink dot at the center of 'Alicia's' azure eyes gradually spread, transforming into a divine orange gear that slowly rolled.
The 'attribute jade' embedded in the [Transformation Bracelet] on Kos's hand, with its power to 'analyze all things' and 'dissect truth,' is like an onion being peeled back. Molecular arrangement, physical properties, and even those extremely metaphysical idealistic attributes are being deconstructed, transforming into strands of data that enlighten the mind...
"Not enough..."
With a slight furrow in her brows, 'Alicia' whispered.
The Transformation Bracelet is undoubtedly a highly advanced, idealistic item. It can alter DNA sequences, overturn life, and distort reality—something of this caliber would be extremely difficult for even the authority of truth to manipulate across worlds, let alone the fact that Jiang Qiao is currently only using a portion of the Youth Power—equivalent to 15% of the original.
"I need the core of the Herrscher of Reason."
This level of truth authority alone is insufficient to fully analyze the transformation bracelet.
MEI nodded in response, then sighed:
"...In that case, let's put this matter aside for now."
"Kosmo, you can leave now."
Upon hearing this, Kosmo stood there dumbfounded. Sensing the thoughts of this taciturn 'girl', 'Alicia' chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we'll call you for any tests later. And once this thing is implemented, you might be the first one we equip."
Upon hearing this, the dark green-haired girl reluctantly took off the bracelet from her wrist, and with a flash of light, she transformed back into her original boy.
