Chapter 630 Did Dr. Mei Miscalculate?

"Hershers? You want to turn them into Herrschers to fight the Tenth Herrscher, Dr. Mei, are you sure you are not kidding?"

In the overly bright meeting room, Theresa silently covered her ears. If possible, she didn't want to sit next to Dr. Tesla every time she had a meeting - her ears were really suffering. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́̃͝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̃̌

and not Regardless of whether the two doctors' opinions are right or wrong, at least in Theresa's opinion, if such a story happens a few more times, her ears will be broken, and she will not be able to hear whether the plan is correct or wrong.

Of course, the premise is that there is still a chance of "happening a few more times".

"This is indeed a problem, Dr. Mei."

After a while, feeling that Dr. Tesla had finished her speech, Theresa had to rub her temple and slowly explain:

"Knowing that the Tenth Herrscher has the characteristics of dominating the power of other Herrschers, I don't think it is a wise decision to use the Herrscher to fight against it. "

After a pause, Theresa turned her head and looked at Kevin standing behind Mei.

This man, whose mere presence here was equivalent to explaining to everyone what "powerful" was, just closed his eyes and lowered his head slightly, as if he had fallen asleep standing like this.

Of course, falling asleep was just an illusion. Kevin would stand behind Mei like this every time he had a meeting. Everyone felt strange at first, but gradually got used to it.

He almost never spoke during meetings. Even if he occasionally said a few words, he was just agreeing with Mei's determination, but at this moment Theresa asked him:

"Kevin, if... I mean, if you face the Tenth Ruler, are you sure you can defeat it?"

"You mean, you will stop the Tenth Ruler's army and delay the possible appearance of Mikael, and I will deal with the Tenth Ruler?"

Kevin slowly opened his eyes. Although it was a question, his tone was unusually calm.

"Well... that's what I mean. The Tenth Herrscher cannot take away the power of your fusion warriors. I think this is a better battle plan, isn't it? "

"If you ask me, I will answer-yes."

Kevin nodded with his eyes wide open, but quickly shook his head.

"But you should understand that if even I can think of this, then Mei will naturally know it better. But she still chose a plan that seems more illogical, which means that she must have seen something behind that plan that you and I have not seen yet. Maybe it is something that was overlooked before, or something that can affect the more distant future. "

Theresa looked back at Dr. Tesla again. Tesla spread his hands. Although he didn't say anything, Theresa understood that the meaning of that action was probably - don't keep us in suspense. Can you finish what you want to say at once?

She looked at Otto, who took out a glass of red wine from somewhere and sipped it, and blinked quickly.

Otto narrowed his green eyes, as if deliberately ignoring Theresa's expression, but soon shook his head and said:

"Dr. Mei, have you discovered the weakness of the Tenth Lawrence [Domination] ability?"

Mei nodded slightly.

"That's right, there is no perfect thing in the world. The more powerful a power looks, the more fatal loopholes there must be in places we haven't noticed. The key to the problem is whether we can discover it. As for the weakness of the Tenth Lawrence [Domination]...Kevin, do you still remember Luluye? "

Kevin's sight was blank for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Wei Wei and Su - he was not the only Ying Jie here, but...

He suddenly thought that among the Ying Jie, he was the only one who had experienced the Luluye incident.

But what did Mei want to ask?

Kevin didn't know, but he believed in all the decisions made by Mei. Besides, everything that happened in the past was honestly stored in his memory, not to mention that the memory of Luluye had a more special meaning.

That was his first meeting with Mei, and with Mikael and Alicia.

He kept every detail, even every word of dialogue in mind, and he didn't forget it, let alone forget it.

Thinking about it, he even forgot to give an answer for a while.

But Mei knew him well enough, and sometimes, [silence] and [affirmation] are equivalent.

So Mei continued:

"I don't know if you have looked through the archives of Luluye's collapse incident, and the third collapse archives of Canghai City battle revised by Mikael after returning to the Fire Moth. "

"Well... I have seen it, but these... uh, can be regarded as Mikael's black history, what does it have to do with the Tenth Herrscher... Wait, you mean... the use of power?"

"Yes, that's it - if Mikael, who was born to be the vessel of [The End], had great difficulty in using another Herrscher power before his transformation, and even because he was too obsessed with this, he could not fully exert his original power as a Herrscher of Reason, then what about the Tenth Herrscher now?"

The topic gradually led to a direction that the people of the current civilization could not understand, but there was at least one person in the current civilization who could understand it -

Otto slowly put down the wine glass and reminded:

"However, Mikael used the power of the Herrscher of Reason to construct the cores of other Herrschers, thereby achieving the purpose of using the power of other Herrschers, and it did not affect the other cores themselves. The power of the Tenth Herrscher is essentially domination, it seizes the power of other Herrschers, such as Bronya, her core directly became an empty shell, and she even had to bear the burden of the Tenth Herrscher using the power of the Herrscher of Reason. In other words, the essence of the two is not the same."

"No, the two are just different in form, and the essence is exactly the same."

Otto fell silent, pursed his lips and looked at Mei for several seconds, then spread his hands to Mei, motioning her to continue.

"The so-called Herrscher's core is actually only [End], and the rest are just projections of it in different dimensions, and the power is naturally the same. Whether it is the imitation of the law of reason or the domination of the tenth Herrscher, it is essentially a kind of energy flow of the Herrscher's core, but it is more free than the Key of God.

"So, the so-called [Domination] is by no means without cost. First of all, we know that if the tenth Herrscher wrestles with the Herrscher after the metamorphosis, he will never win, and there is even the possibility of his power being seized in return. So in fact, can the ability to dominate be imagined as a rope? The tenth Herrscher connected this rope to Bronya. Since Bronya cannot perfectly control her power, she was pulled over by it. On the other hand, as long as Bronya is willing, she can also pull the power back - although it will not succeed.

"However, this is based on the situation that the Herrscher only controls Bronya. If there are more objects to be controlled, and each of them tries to take back their power, the Herrscher will have to wrestle with multiple individuals at once, and the situation will become dangerous and delicate.

"And there is another point. Assuming that the result of the wrestling is still the victory of the Tenth Herrscher, will these controlled powers really greatly enhance the combat power of the Tenth Herrscher? I think not. This is why I cited Mikael as an example. Before the metamorphosis, the burden of his [simulation] of the powers of other Herrschers could only support a very short battle, because the output power of the core was completely insufficient. And the Tenth Herrscher has not undergone metamorphosis, and [control] as an energy flow is essentially the same as [simulation].

"So, even though he had already controlled the power of the Herrscher of Reason, the Tenth Herrscher had hardly used it. So, although the Herrscher had many opportunities to control Kiana's power, he did not act rashly. So, the Herrscher did not even try to find the movements of the Herrscher of Knowledge. Perhaps it was due to the consideration of the arrangement, but it was also possible that he considered that even if he controlled so many powers, it would be difficult to bring much improvement in actual combat. ...Huh, I have said so much in one breath. Are you satisfied with these explanations?"

Otto raised his hand and pinched his chin, looking sideways to signal Rita to add coffee for everyone, and of course Theresa's bitter melon juice, but then he remembered that Rita had gone to the Greek front.

"How should I put it? There is a huge information gap between us, so it is difficult for me to judge. So, Dr. Mei, why don't you just tell me your plan directly."

"Okay, then I'll tell you directly."

Mei drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, moistened his lips, and deliberately paused for a while. Seeing that there were no other opinions in the meeting room for the time being, he spoke:

"At present, we still have three people who are qualified for the Herrscher. Xier, Anna, and Chen. Xier doesn't need me to explain more, but Anna and Chen, I think it's better to wait until the battle is over before explaining it now, how about it?"

The response Mei received was a nod.

"The specific operation is not complicated. Mei will be the A group and lead the B group, Bronya, Seele, Anna, and Chen, into the Tower of Babel. The B group will deliberately enter the floors below where Kiana is to attract the attention of the Herrscher, while the A group will directly rush to the floor where Kiana is. After confirming that the B group has entered the Tower of Babel, we will use the Second God Key to drop a large number of Honkai energy storage tanks and Honkai energy reactors to the location of the B group.

"The three Herrschers in the B group try their best to absorb energy and try to condense imaginary singularities. It is not difficult. When a large amount of Honkai energy appears around the qualified people, they only need to obey their instincts to become Herrschers. Bronya attracts the attention of the Herrscher by wrestling with him, and the other three try to annihilate the tenth Herrscher after becoming Herrschers.

"Of course, that is the territory of the Herrscher after all, so it is difficult to kill it just like that. But once it escapes, in order to cope with the worsening situation for it, it will inevitably choose to dominate Kiana's power. Because at that moment, only the power of space can reverse everything. I don't need to say more about the next step. Group A and Group B will meet up, and together with Kiana, kill the Herrscher."

After Mei's voice fell, there was silence. After a while, Xier raised her hand and asked:

"Doctor, after becoming a Herrscher, if we cannot control our own consciousness and become... uh, a Herrscher in that sense, what should we do?"

"Then implement the second plan, let Kevin and Hua enter the Tower of Babel, and then use Otto's [Constraint] power to kill all the [Herschers] in the tower."

Just such a short sentence, but everyone present had to fall into silence.

After a long time, Tesla knocked on the table with her mechanical arm, interrupting the stiff atmosphere.

"Dr. Mei, what you have said is just to prove to us the possibility of implementing your plan. However, since the first plan has so many uncontrollable risks, why not directly implement the second plan with higher reliability? A plan?”

Mei's hand covering the coffee cup rose, fell, and finally rose again, with her fingers interlaced and closed on her chest.

"Don't say that Kevin, Hua and our beloved Bishop will be used to block the advance of the Tenth Herrscher's army, and don't say that they will be arranged to deal with Mikael. They can do the former, Bronya and the others can do it, but Bronya and the others can't do it, and Kevin, Hua, and Otto can't do it either. Although it sounds a little hurtful, it's true, isn't it? ?”

"yes."

Mei nodded generously.

“But what I want is uncertainty, or in other words, what I want is [risk].”

"W-do you want to hear what you're saying?"

When the word "you" came out of his mouth, out of respect for the leader who led pre-civilized mankind to the end, Tesla was ready to forcefully change to a softer word, but after thinking for 0.01 seconds, Tesla Finally, she blurted it out without any politeness.

Mei was not angry, she just silently pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, then lowered her voice and said something that no one expected with an inexplicable heaviness:

"Kiana must emerge from this collapse. If not, Kevin and I will go to World Serpent to start the Stigma Project."

"嗗嗗——"

"Crack-"

The fluorescent light in the conference room flickered twice. Amber, who was standing by the wall, quickly turned off the light. When he turned it on again, the light was stable.

Meiyi let go of the long purple knife in her hand, but couldn't help but tighten it again, but this time there was no Razer spilled out.

Theresa also swallowed nervously, her heart rate soared to nearly 200 in one second, and she almost retched even when she stared at the bitter melon juice in the cup.

Su opened a slit in his eyes and looked around, but the moment his eyes touched "Anna", he was glared at by the latter. He thought for two or three seconds, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to say, and gently pulled away. Pulling on the sleeves of Weiwei and Hua who were standing on both sides of him.

As for Dr. Tesla, as soon as she opened her mouth, a cold hand covered her lips. Einstein stared at her without any fluctuation, shook his head slightly, and then let go of his hand.

"The reason why we are sitting here as friends is because in my current judgment, [The Fire Project] still has the possibility of success, and once Kiana cannot emerge from this collapse, then our The odds of success are slim, so we have to resort to the worst option.”

Although the worst plan has long been impossible to implement, for Mikael, an insider, whether it is to instigate Prometheus or kill Prometheus directly... in short, compared to the Tinder Plan, Project Stigmata's odds of success are even slimmer.

The only purpose is probably to scare everyone at this time.

Because Kiana must evolve during this collapse, and it is also the one with the highest probability of success, so it is worth taking the risk.

But if Kiana fails to emerge in a more secure way, then it is completely unknown whether she can finally take over that fool's power as everyone expected.

"I've finished my words, then everyone will vote according to the usual practice..."

"Wait a minute Mei, I have something to say."

Su suddenly stood up, with blood-red eyes staring, and placed a [leaf] on the long table in the conference room.

"I also left a backup plan at the beginning, which should improve the success rate of Mei's plan."

…………

"Hey! Is it dead?"

[Xie'er] kicked the puppet that was limp as mud in annoyance, but the latter didn't react at all.

"It seems that he transferred his consciousness to another doll and escaped. This guy... is really difficult to kill. Do we have to completely destroy the tower?"

Bronya covered her heart and silently felt the beating of her core - it was a pity that she had not been able to regain her power just now.

"Anna, Chen, go back tonight, Bronya will treat you to the principal's favorite bitter melon juice."

Chen was the first to answer expressionlessly:

"No, the bitter melon juice is too delicious."

Anna waited until Chen Tianwu finished speaking, then pursed her lips and said:

"Yes, bitter melon juice is not something people drink."

Bronya and Xier breathed a sigh of relief at the same time - the passwords were exactly right, and there were no problems with the answers. It seemed that they were still the familiar Anna and Chen.

To be on the safe side, Bronya added another question:

"How about it? Do you feel something is wrong? If it doesn't work, don't hold on. Let Su Qing clear the Herrscher consciousness from your heads in time."

But the two people's answers... how should I put it... were very unexpected, but seemed to be reasonable——

"No... I don't seem to feel any sense of the Herrscher, but there was a strange voice telling me how to use my power at first. It was quite nagging, and then it disappeared... Tianwu, what are you doing? Sample?"

"I……"

Feeling the power flowing out of his body, and meeting Anna's concerned eyes, Chen, who was already taciturn, couldn't think of the right words to say at this moment.

So, he used the most concise and direct words:

"Me too."

"Okay, it seems that you are all fine..."

Bronya patted her forehead.

"Bronya's power has not been restored yet. Check again. Can your power still be used normally?"

"Yes."

"No problem!"

Bronya nodded, looked at the big hole in the ceiling, and ordered:

"Okay, everything is in Dr. Mei's plan. Confirm which floor this is. We are going to meet up with Sister Mei, and then..."

"Bronya?"

The sudden sound made everyone stunned.

Bronya turned her head to look at the source of the sound, which was also the spiral staircase connecting each floor of the Tower of Babel. Standing next to the stairs, holding a long knife in one hand and holding the handrail with the other hand was——

"Bronya, why are you... on me?"

Mei blinked in confusion, and then walked up the stairs by herself before Bronya could say anything.

After the footsteps of "tap-tap" sounded twenty-two times, Mei came up from the lower stairs.

After seeing Bronya, she rubbed her eyes again, turned around and walked down, but after the footsteps sounded twenty-two times, she walked down from the upper stairs again.

This time, she finally stopped walking and just looked at Bronya in silence.

Bronya also looked at her in silence.

Dr. Mei...seems...to have miscalculated?
