Times have changed!
Although the Seventh Honkai Impact was easy for them to deal with, Himiko's power actually far surpassed that of the previous Herrschers.
As the Herrscher of Knowledge, Desdovia's powers are unmatched by the earliest Herrschers.
Then, in Velvet's equipment, the newest Herrscher, the Tenth Herrscher, because her powers might be clones or something, each clone isn't particularly strong—but the Honkai energy of the Ninth Herrscher is at least twice that of Himiko!
Alicia once had Himiko calculate that if no one stopped her, with her abilities, she might be able to set the entire country ablaze in a short time.
The Ninth Herrscher is twice her size...
Thinking of this, Alicia saw the latest news that the Great Collapse had already broken out on the Mu Continent. Alicia knew that the Mu Continent was doomed!
Moreover, although this matter appears to have been done by a Herrscher, Roland's involvement is actually behind it all!
Thinking of this, Alicia sighed.
But before she could figure out what to do next, the door to the archives opened and Wilvi walked in.
"Alicia, this is the key to the Second Divine Key. Roland asked me to give you access to the Second Divine Key."
"Huh? Did Roland say why?"
Alicia took the key from Velvi's hand and asked her a question with a smile.
Seeing her like this, Velvi frowned.
"What, didn't Roland tell you?"
At this moment, Velvi was in a rather aloof state, but seeing that Alicia seemed completely unaware, she still frowned and began to explain to her.
"Roland asked me to install a function that could save people on a large scale on the Second Divine Key, saying that the Great Collapse on the Mu Continent might not be simple. I completed this technology. With the function of the Second Divine Key, it can now quickly go to the Mu Continent to rescue a large number of people. Giving you the key to the Second Divine Key is to let you go and save people, isn't it?"
Hearing what Velvi said, Alicia's eyes widened.
Even the smile that had been on her face froze.
Because Roland didn't actually tell her to save people. He only told her before she came to the archives that she should take a look at what had happened recently, organize and summarize it, and that he would test her later. He also told her not to worry and to do whatever she wanted during the test.
So now, she received the key from Vilvi with incredibly complex emotions.
Then, at that moment, Alicia remembered what Roland had told her long ago—that as the leader, he was responsible for every member, so he would consider both sides...
"So Roland had been thinking about this exam since that time."
Alicia rarely had such complicated thoughts as she did now.
However, this state was only temporary for her. She quickly sorted out her thoughts and adjusted her emotions.
"Alright, Velvie, let's go to the Second Divine Key."
When Velvi saw Alicia's smiling face, her brows furrowed even more.
"Roland may have forgotten to arrange something with you. Let's go ask him first..."
Before Velvi could finish speaking, Alicia pushed her out of the archives.
"Alright, no need to ask anymore. Roland must have his own things to do. As for this matter, I remembered. He actually hinted at it to me a long time ago, and I understood what he meant."
"Really?"
As she said this, at Alicia's urging, she led her to the basement of her Spiral Workshop.
Then she used the key to the second divine key, the Thousand Realms One Journey, to start the train, and she boarded it herself and set off.
After seeing Alicia leave, Velvi's furrowed brows relaxed, her expression returned to calm, and she took out her communicator to contact Roland.
"Roland, I've given the key to Alicia, and I've also put Alicia on the Second Divine Key and sent her to the Mu Continent... I've completed all the tasks you gave me, is that enough, brother?"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Velvi."
After receiving the message, Roland chatted casually with Vervie for a few more minutes before hanging up.
"Alice has already set off. Let me see what you will choose in this matter."
Calling it a test for Alicia is going too far.
Roland just wanted to see what Alicia's true thoughts were.
As for the Herrscher this time...
Roland stood at the highest point of the Mu Continent, looking down at the land below—the Herrschers would not cause any more problems after completing their missions.
The reason why is that he's here? It's that simple!
....
134. Roland: You're playing gravity manipulation with me?!
Previously, the Western nations gathered on the Mu Continent and the Mu Continent nations had been waging an information war. Roland only offered a symbolic counterattack against their information war and did not actually want the world to see the voice of Anti-Entropy.
Even at that time, Roland was spreading the theory of the Honkai threat to the world.
This time, Roland had Velvet and the others go all out, so the situation on Mu Continent was directly displayed on screens all over the world, whether in the Eastern or Western continents—they all saw the scene.
An invisible energy rose across the entire Mu continent, distorting even space itself.
Then, an immense, visible force of gravity began to compress a single point, causing the distortion of space to intensify—the entire Mu continent was compressed toward that point amidst this distortion.
Ultimately, this so-called light of humanity was completely compressed into a single point.
At that moment, an incredibly blinding white light burst forth, and then the entire Mu Continent vanished completely within that light!
The Ninth Herrscher has made her move.
People all over the world were seeing this for the first time. Some questioned it, some made noise... but in reality, they were all incredibly shocked.
Mu Continent... just like that, gone!?
Anti-Entropy simply displayed this scene, and then the Anti-Entropy scene ended, and various forces around the world with channels began to exert their power.
They quickly confirmed one thing—the previous images were real, and Mu Dalu was truly gone!
Then, after this news was confirmed, the internet's memory kicked in, and people rediscovered the collapse threat theory that had been suppressed during the information war, propagated by Anti-Entropy...
The news that was previously seen as a joke by Western countries and Mu Continent countries under the information bombardment now seemed extremely heavy!
The internet is in an uproar.
Suddenly, the popularity of topics such as Honkai Impact, Herrscher of Reason, and Mu Continent reached its peak.
It was at this moment that the images transmitted by Anti-Entropy once again dominated everyone's attention, as if without the interference of the Western countries and the Mu Continent, Anti-Entropy's information 423 was finally free.
This time, no one dared to underestimate the news of anti-entropy, and then they saw Eden on the screen.
"Everyone, please stay away from coastal areas during this period. Although the Mu Continent has been destroyed, the Herrschers will not die from their own attacks."
"Based on preliminary assessments, there are two Herrschers this time. One of them is the culprit who used a pseudo-black hole to destroy the Mu Continent. Our Anti-Entropy experts are dealing with him. In addition, there is another Herrscher whose suspected ability is to create clones. His clones are crossing oceans and invading other continents."
"But please rest assured, our Anti-Entropy forces are spread all over the world. They are currently stationed in coastal areas and searching for their location. I believe this crisis will be resolved soon, just like the previous eight Great Collapses."
Hearing Eden's voice calmed the crowd considerably.
Because this was Eden's instruction, no one deliberately caused trouble at this time, and those who were supposed to leave the coastal areas did so directly.
Then, the Herrschers identified as the thousand Herrschers began to approach the continent, while the main force of Anti-Entropy, led by Qian Jie and his group, went to meet them.
While each of these thousand Herrschers possesses their own unique abilities, the Fusion Warriors of Anti-Entropy are similar—and there are also experts like Thousand Calamities among them.
In addition, with the newly improved detection device from Velvi able to accurately pinpoint their location over a fairly large area, there's no fear that they might actually cause trouble.
Even though Eden claimed to be resisting the Herrscher invasion, there were indeed people resisting, but several units carrying Velvet's devices went out and started searching the world for those thousand Herrschers!
Under such pressure, the thousand-strong Herrscher was quickly defeated.
but...
"Why are there only 999 cores? Didn't Roland define the Tenth Herrscher as a Herrscher of a Thousand? What about the Thousandth one?"
Mebius frowned as he looked at the retrieved core, sensing that something was amiss.
At this moment, Velvi was operating the device in front of her.
"Does that mean 999 wouldn't be called the Thousand Law Masters? We can't just call them the Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Law Masters, can we?"
Despite saying that, Vivi's hands moved faster as she operated the device.
After that, Velvi's side produced a map of Honkai energy tracking in the sea area of the former Mu Continent.
The wavelength of the Ninth Herrscher, named the Herrscher of Rock, remains unchanged. The wavelength of the Herrscher of a Thousand Should have disappeared after all 999 Herrschers were eliminated, but now Velvet has discovered that the wavelength of the Herrscher of a Thousand still exists on the Mu Continent!
and...
"Vilvie, do the wavelengths of the Herrscher of Rock and the Herrscher of a Thousand overlap!?"
When Mebius said that, Velvi's smile vanished.
"Yes... Although I had predicted that the Herrschers would start appearing in pairs, I really didn't expect this to happen because of the special nature of the thousand Herrschers."
"The Herrscher who is still in the sea area of the original Mu Continent is both the Herrscher of Rock and the Herrscher of a Thousand... He has two cores! Moreover, the core of the Herrscher of a Thousand is stronger than the cores of other Herrschers of a Thousand. That one is probably the most important core of the Herrscher of a Thousand! He is a dual-core Herrscher that we have never seen before!"
Upon hearing Vervie's affirmative answer, Möbius walked towards the workshop's entrance.
"What are you going to do?"
When Vervier saw Mebius about to leave, she called out to him.
