Chapter 663 Hi! Hello Everyone! I Am Fairy Ai Li

[Currently publicly available information 1 (population related):]

[There are 324 Awakened Stigmata left in the lunar base who are incapable of fighting. The earth’s current controllable population is 3,701. Distress signals have been sent out from various places. The surviving population is estimated to be around 30,000. 】

[Currently public information 2 (related to combat effectiveness):]

[Forty of the 207 Valkyrie troops directly under the Destiny Headquarters survived, including two S-level Valkyries and two survivors, seven A-level Valkyries and four survivors, and ninety-eight B-level Valkyries and three survivors. Twelve people, two survivors out of one hundred Valkyries below B level. Each branch was seriously short of personnel, with a total of 3,102 Valkyries and 270 survivors. The Valkyries of each branch have been ordered to escort the remaining personnel in the base to the floating port to rendezvous. Four other former A-level Valkyries have volunteered to return to active duty and have also rushed to the headquarters to avoid unnecessary casualties and strengthen the headquarters' defense strength. . 】

[The Anti-Entropy Americas Branch should have a total of 178,872 soldiers and scientific researchers. Currently, there are 403 people left, and all of them have been concentrated at the Sacramento base. The base has sufficient supplies and is guarded by a large number of drone armors developed by Dr. Tesla, which is enough to hold on for at least three months. 】

[The monks and knights in China are all those who have awakened the stigmata. Almost all of them have survived. A total of 2,351 people have been gathered in Taixu Mountain as soon as possible. Taixu Mountain is protected by the illusion left by Yu Duchen. The terrain is dangerous, but the material reserves are not sufficient, but it can still support it for more than a month. 】

[In addition to a small number of World Snake cadres remaining, a large number of Stigma Awakeners chose to actively enter the dreamland. 】

[Currently available information three (Herscher)]

[After returning to Earth, the power of air and the power of fire held by Kiana Kaslana have not been restored. Apart from this, the other powers of the Herrscher have not been affected. Bronya Zaicek has completed her emergence, Raiden Mei is still missing, and World Snake has no clue about it. 】

[Four information currently available for disclosure (pioneer)]

[On the eve of the start of the Stigmata Project, all the forerunners except the Scarlet Kite Immortal, including Mei, Kevin, Su, Weiwei, etc., returned to the paradise of the past, and borrowed 300HW from Destiny, 12 Honkai energy piggy banks, 500HW There are eight Honkai energy reactors. However, the Forerunners have not returned yet. Jackal reported that the connection between the Paradise and the outside world has been completely interrupted. The situation of the Forerunners is currently unknown. The possibility of avoiding debts cannot be ruled out (note: this sentence was added at the strong request of the bishop). 】

[Currently available information five (Mikael and the Stigmata Project)]

[Attachment: Transcribed by Bronya Zaicek. 】

[It is currently known that the Stigmata Project has dragged most of the human beings in the world into a dream called the Stigma Space. According to Mikael's own description, in this dreamland there is everything created by mankind in the past, and everyone's desires can be satisfied in dreams, even if a person has no actual experience of what he wants, It can also be completed from the memories of other people connected to the Stigmata Project. 】

[In other words, in the space formed by the Stigmata Project, everyone has been closely connected through dreams, sharing everything with each other. In a sense, seven billion humans have become a whole in the stigmata space. In this way, humans become creatures that are both human and not human, thereby escaping final reckoning. 】

The floating island of the destiny headquarters, the main island of Asgard, is still in the same conference room that everyone used when facing the "Tower of Babel disaster" half a year ago.

Compared with last time, there were fewer people in the conference room at this time. Without Mei and other forerunners, Tesla, Dr. Einstein, and Walter all participated in the meeting in the form of projections.

But what remains unchanged is the long silence.

Compared to the anger last time, the despair this time was even deeper.

The earth does not waver and the sky trembles. There were no human cries, no blood and broken flesh.

The Stigmata Project brought only unspeakable silence to this planet.

Despair does not exist, anger does not exist.

There was no wail, no blood, no pain.

There is no hope either.

In a dark, lifeless universe, this blue planet should have made people feel full of vitality and all things competing at a glance. Now it is wrapped in the same orange-red color as Mars, and it can no longer be seen. No sound was made.

"Da da da——"

Otto bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Don't be in a daze, my friends, think about it, now we are the hope of all mankind."

"Ah bah!"

It's okay that Otto didn't say this. When he said this, he immediately lit a powder keg.

"Looking at the looks of those guys, how could they have any intention of being rescued by us? I'm afraid they have been immersed in the dream of the Stigmata Project for a long time and don't want to wake up!"

"Calm down, Dr. Tesla. This kind of thing cannot be blamed on everyone. A dream that can satisfy all dreams and desires, never wake up, and is extremely real is too tempting for human beings. Even if After you and I fall into it, we may not be sure to wake up in the first place. After all... reality is always so cruel, with unreachable ambitions and irresistible power. Maybe many people fall into dreams just because of their imagination. Who can blame me for wanting to reunite with my relatives who were killed by Honkai Impact?"

Einstein reached out to stop Tesla, but a subtle sadness flashed across his face.

In fact, Tesla didn't need to be so angry. It was just that Otto had become the "Hope of All Mankind". This kind of thing made it difficult for Tesla not to feel physically uncomfortable. However, due to the critical period of cooperation between the two sides, he couldn't get angry, so he could only vent his anger on the humans captured by the Stigmata Project.

Otto might also understand this, so he stopped urging everyone to say anything. He just hugged his arms, leaned back on the chair, and reorganized the information in a soliloquy--

"According to the information Bronya got from Mikael, the Stigmata space actually has no blocking mechanism. Once a person wants to wake up from the dream of the Stigmata Project, he can do it. According to the information brought by the returners, those orange juice-like liquids are all that make up a person. As long as those things still exist on Earth, humans will always have the possibility of returning to reality. But... Excuse me, it should be impossible for a single person to do this."

As Otto spoke, he pressed his head with his hand as if he had a headache.

"But does the Stigmata Project really stand in our way? I don't think so. The Stigmata Project may provide some power to Mikael, but as the End itself, can he withstand the power of the [Anti-End]? Even if he can, how much improvement can the Stigmata Project bring compared to his power as the End? Admittedly, when facing such a powerful opponent, it would be good to weaken his power even a little before the real battle begins, but reversing the Stigmata Project is too difficult to do. We might as well find another way. Moreover, this does not seem to conflict with our original plan."

"The original plan... do you mean to let Kiana take the initiative to become the End? But the problem now is that the most critical part of this plan - how to let Kiana accommodate the power of other Herrschers and finally become the End. This part of the information is in the hands of Dr. Mei, but she can no longer be contacted. In addition, we need to find Mei first."

Theresa quickly raised an objection, but Otto had already prepared his argument:

"You are right. Since they are all difficult, we might as well solve the easier ones first. Mei's disappearance and the disappearance of the pioneers are all without exception clear evidence pointing to the paradise of the past. I have not been there, but according to the description of Jackal and Mei, the essence of it is a world bubble after all. Since it is a world bubble, we can ask Dr. Schrödinger and Shigure Kira and Lixue who are still in the Quantum Sea to help with reconnaissance. Even if we encounter troubles that these people cannot solve, Orchiddale and Bronya can also enter the Quantum Sea for support. As for the Stigmata Project, it is still a mess, so I think we should put the Stigmata Project aside first.",

"But... even if we can really do those, if we don't cancel the Stigmata Project, won't we save nothing in the end?"

Looking at Theresa's firm and stubborn look, Otto was a little dazed.

But he quickly explained:

"Of course it's not that we won't solve the problem of the Stigmata Project. I just think that the priority of solving the Stigmata Project should be postponed, at least until we find Mei and Dr. Mei, or even until we defeat Mikael, and then consider this issue."

"Oh..."

Theresa understood, and then silently picked up the bitter melon juice on the table and stopped objecting.

After all, what Grandpa said made sense and was very clear. When she was the principal, she also told Kiana that when she encountered questions that she didn't know how to do during the exam, she would skip them and do the simple ones that she knew how to do. Now it's just that the test paper has become a real war, and every question that can't be done carries the fate of the world and the lives of countless people.

There didn't seem to be any other opinions from Anti-Entropy and Taixu, or Otto just said what they wanted to say.

The problem of the Stigmata Project does need to be solved, but it's just a waste of time to think about it when there is no solution.

But someone finally expressed a different opinion-while everyone was silent, Bronya stood up.

"Bronya disagrees with this conclusion."

"Oh? Why?"

Otto took a sip of red wine and asked calmly.

"There is one thing Bronya thinks everyone has more or less seen - in fact, from the beginning, we didn't have much room for choice. Everything we are experiencing now and will experience is just a script that Mikael has prepared. It's like he deliberately guided Bronya to metamorphosis. Since he put the Stigmata Project in front of us and even gave us too much information to solve the Stigmata Project, it means that if we want to get in front of him, we must solve the Stigmata Project first."

"I understand what you said, Bronya, but I think we still have some room for choice."

"No, Bronya thinks not."

"Huh?"

"According to that person's habit, once he decides what path we want to take, he will arrange everything perfectly. In other words, he even expected that we would skip the Stigmata Project and consider the problems of Sister Mei and Dr. Mei first."

"So?"

"So, although she doesn't know the specific situation, Bronya feels that if she wants to find Sister Mei and Dr. Mei, the final process will inevitably overlap with the plan to solve the stigma. In other words, if she wants to rescue Mei and Dr. Mei, we must solve it..."

"Bingo! Correct answer!"

Before Bronya finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly appeared in the conference room.

"who?"

despair--

A piece of emerald green crystal fell on the center of the conference room table. The next moment, emerald light bloomed, and a girl with twin ponytails who looked familiar stood on the table.

"Huh? You... uh, are you Ai Yi's mother?"

After a brief hesitation, Theresa issued a soul torture.

This question immediately froze the smile on the girl's face, but after two or three seconds, she adjusted her mentality and introduced herself to everyone openly:

"Hello everyone, my name is Aiyi Huberian Λ. Although the names are almost exactly the same and my appearance is similar, Ms. Theresa, I am not the AI ​​that you have married to Huberian."

"So, Your Excellency suddenly broke in and interrupted our meeting because..."

Different from Theresa's fuss, Otto put his arms back on the table, leaned forward, and deliberately made his voice deeper to ask.

"Hmm... how to explain it? Let's put it this way, I am a life born in the time crystal between your world and the [outside world]. Although this is the first time for you to see me, but For me, I have known you in countless timelines and witnessed your choices and endings, and now I am here to bring you some information and help."

"for example?"

"For example, I can confirm the accuracy of what Bronya said before - Raiden Mei is now trapped in the stigmata space. She didn't have much information at first, so she instinctively cleared the stigmata. An imaginary monster spawned in the scar space in order to fulfill human desires, so that she is currently fighting three big guys. If you want to rescue her, the best way is to directly crack the Stigma Project. "

"I really got what Bronya said..."

"Then...what do you mean by help?"

"Well, it's a pity that Mei Yi isn't here, otherwise, she would have been shocked, right?"

Facing Otto's questioning, Aiyi seemed to be talking to herself.

But the next moment, without anyone noticing, a pink little guy appeared behind her. She kept flapping her wings, holding a heart-shaped staff in her hand, and greeted everyone cheerfully:

"Hi! Hello everyone! I am Fairy Ellie, please give me some advice.

"Of course, I actually have a name - everyone, let me introduce myself again. Qiang Qiang! The twelfth Herrscher makes his debut at the most critical moment!"

"Are you...the Twelfth Herrscher?"

"Yes!"

"etc--"

The scene was suddenly thrown into chaos by the intruding fairy Ellie, but before everyone could figure out why the twelfth Herrscher suddenly appeared and whether he was a friend or an enemy, Kiana stood up and spoke with a few words. Asked excitedly:

"Um... Excuse me, are you the Alicia that Mei mentioned?"

"Oops! Mei actually mentioned me to someone... ahem, as for the mature me, you must have mentioned Kiana, right?"

"..."

"Uh, cough! Well, I am Alicia, but because the Paradise of the Past has been locked by Mikael, neither I nor Dr. Mei can leave there. Kevin and Qianjie are still studying how to After tearing down the door, Velvet was building an [excavator that can dig a tunnel to the original world]... It was at this time that Miss Ai Yi found me, so I used the power of the 12th Herrscher to dig myself out. The consciousness resides in this little doll and comes out with her!"

"So...is there any way to save Mei Yi?"

Kiana asked nervously and excitedly.

"Hmm... let me think about it, isn't it enough to defeat the Stigma Plan?"

"Well...it sounds simple, but how to do it specifically?"

"I can help you enter the stigma space. After all, the stigma space is also a [data world] in a sense. Then...

"Then, actually just make them realize that they are in a dream."
