V2/Chapter 81: When you produce I didn't use JPG. (Huh?)
In the experimental base of Star Light, Ai Yue was sitting alone in the laboratory, busy with something.
He did not pay attention to the situation on the battlefield, because he believed that the bunch of losers of the Herrscher of Domination would not be a match for Kevin and his team. You know, the current fusion warrior team has the Herrscher core for weapons and armor systems for defense, so there is no reason for them to lose.
If all else fails, their armored systems are also equipped with a special mode, designed by Ai Yue based on the "Blank Key". It enables a person to use the Herrscher Core to communicate with the Cocoon of the Finality in a short period of time, thus reaching the level of "incarnation of the Herrscher".
Once they entered that state, they would be able to truly unleash a power comparable to that of a Herrscher, instead of being able to only stimulate the Herrscher's power in the simplest way through weapons like they are now.
Although in the previous simulation environment, even Kevin could only last for three minutes, this time was completely enough.
Seven perfect Herrschers, even if they only last for three minutes, can definitely destroy more than 5,000 Herrschers of Domination easily - not to mention that there will not be that many of them left by then.
Unfortunately, this special mode is indeed very picky. In the original work, only Dr. Mei can use it. Although Vill-V is extremely talented, she could only barely make a replica in the end. The reason is not because of her lack of ability, but because of the driver himself.
Not everyone can connect to the Cocoon of the Finality. The most crucial point is that the user must have the possibility of becoming a Herrscher. The reason why Dr. Mei can control the Blank Key is because theoretically, she is very likely one of the candidates for the third Herrscher.
If we analyze it based on the comparison between the characters of the previous civilization and the current civilization, if Kevin had not appeared and changed Mei's original life trajectory, she might really have had the possibility of becoming a Herrscher in the Third Honkai Eruption.
However, this is just Ai Yue's personal guess. What the truth is, I'm afraid we can only know it when he analyzes the Cocoon of the Finality.
'For now, I should finish the work at hand first.'
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
"Finally found you, Dr. Ai Yue~"
A sweet voice mixed with a hint of resentment sounded from behind him, and then Ai Yue was thrown to the ground. Before he could react, a figure rode on him.
She was a cute-looking girl, but the distorted expression on her face ruined her cuteness, turning her into something hideous: "Now, is there anyone who can come and save you"
Facing such a situation, Ai Yue acted very relaxed. He just glanced around and finally shook his head: "You just brought so few people here, do you look down on me?"
There were five other people in the laboratory with the girl in front of him. There were four women and two men, of all races and in all different age groups. They were obviously some of the Herrschers of Domination.
The next moment, a gun appeared in Ai Yue's hand. At this distance, there was no possibility that Ai Yue would miss the target.
However, the moment he raised his hand, his whole body suddenly froze in place, unable to move. Although it could be seen that Ai Yue was exerting all his strength, his fingers were still unable to pull the trigger.
"He's just an ordinary person, and I think these people are too many!"
The girl smiled somewhat arrogantly, "But you still reminded me. I know you are a very cunning person, so just in case—"
She waved.
Several other people came over quickly and took off all of Ai Yue's equipment and clothes while he was unable to move due to his spatial ability, leaving him with only a pair of shorts.
"Well, what else can you do?"
The girl clapped her hands with a smile, "I didn't know you had such a good figure."
"So, what are you doing here?"
Ai Yue frowned, looking confused about their purpose, "If we don't take action now, I'm afraid reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Oh, what else can you do?"
The girl's face was full of disdain, and she didn't take Ai Yue's threat seriously at all. "Hand over the method to control artificial intelligence, and maybe we can consider sparing your life."
Although the IQ of the Herrschers of Domination may not be very high individually, if ten thousand of them gather together, there will always be two good ideas.
So they set their sights on Prometheus, the super artificial intelligence that had caused them so much trouble. If they could get this artificial intelligence in their hands, they would be able to destroy human civilization more easily.
On the other hand, if one only kills Ai Yue but fails to destroy or control artificial intelligence, then it can only be considered a severe blow to human civilization, and one may end up being killed by humans.
Therefore, no matter what the purpose is, the Herrscher of Domination must seize control of artificial intelligence.
"Oh, it's for Rose."
Ai Yue shrugged, "But unfortunately, I don't have such means."
"You think we'll believe it?"
The girl looked at her companion and couldn't help laughing. "Scholars like you would always keep something to yourself, wouldn't you? This kind of nonsense can't even fool a child!"
As she spoke, she placed the ice knife in her hand against Ai Yue's chest and began to slash downwards: "If you keep talking so tough, I'll consider giving you a taste of pain."
"Well, how about this."
Blood flowed down Ai Yue's chest, and he quickly chose to let go. "How about exchanging answers for answers? Although I can't live, some questions will still be a headache if I don't figure them out before I die."
"Are all you scholars like this?"
The girl looked at the others, then nodded, "Okay, then ask."
However, Ai Yue's subsequent words made their faces change: "Who is the first Herrscher of Domination?"
"What do you mean?"
The girl subconsciously glanced at her companion, but showed a puzzled expression, "I don't understand what you are saying."
"The Herrschers of Domination would not be born at the same time. There must be a sequence between them, right?"
Ai Yue said with a smile, but his eyes were scanning the others, "I have entered your domain of domination. In that place, everyone uses the same appearance, but such appearance must have a source, right? For example, it is based on the prototype of the first Herrscher of Domination..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a woman beside him. She had a ferocious expression on her face and roared loudly: "Kill him!"
Ai Yue's words made her feel scared. If she continued to let the other person live, something bad might happen.
However, instead of taking action, the girl's face distorted and she then fell to her knees, seeming to be in pain.
Not only her, but everyone, including herself, fell to the ground at the same time.
Ai Yue turned his head and looked at the roaring woman with a smile on his face: "Yes, she looks similar to you."
Faced with the sudden reversal of the situation, the woman's face was filled with disbelief: "You, how did you manage to break free!"
"Break free?"
Ai Yue showed a puzzled expression on his face, and then he clapped his hands in sudden realization, "Sorry, I forgot to cancel it."
As he clapped his hands, Ai Yue's figure burst quietly like a bubble and disappeared along with the equipment and clothes that had been taken off on the ground.
The woman suddenly sat up from the ground, only to find that all of them had fallen to the place where they had just entered the door. Ai Yue was sitting upright in the office chair at this moment. He slowly turned around and smiled at her.
"You don't really think that your plan succeeded?"
