Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Kiana glanced at everyone present and finally chose to sit down next to Bai Yan.

Alicia wanted to insert herself between the two, but Kiana beat her to it, making today feel even more imperfect.

"Why are they all suddenly gathered together?" Bai Yan asked Dr. Mei casually.

"Let's discuss Kevin's birthday and the fusion warrior surgery."

"Well, actually, birthdays don't necessarily have to be—"

Kevin spoke up somewhat awkwardly, but after being glanced at by Dr. May, he immediately shut up.

Dr. May hadn't really thought that much about it, but Kevin's reaction amused her.

"Oh, everyone's here? That's really..."

Hen gently scratched his face as he entered, exchanged glances with Blanca, and only after noticing the resentful look in Mebius's eyes did he quickly look away and find a place to sit down obediently.

"What's wrong with her..." Hen muttered to himself.

"Don't ask," Blanca mouthed a warning.

Hen's eyes flickered, as if he understood.

After a while, a young couple cautiously entered; they were Kosmo and Desdobia.

After being seated, Dr. Mei finally spoke.

"I have read all of your reports and thank you for your cooperation. However, I still hope to confirm in person whether there were any special circumstances after the surgery?"

The fusion warriors shook their heads.

Except for Alicia.

She raised her hand and asked, "After the surgery, I still couldn't put up a fight against Fu Yan. Is there something wrong?"

silence.

Kiana asked inexplicably, "Is there a big difference between the fusion warriors?"

Before coming to the pre-civilization era, she had only seen two fusion warriors, both of whom were very strong, but since she had never learned about their backgrounds, she had no recollection of their relative strength.

A group of people gave each other strange looks.

“No,” Dr. Mei shook her head, “Fu Yan is not a fusion warrior.”

Stay silent.

"Now we need to discuss the next issue..."

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Dr. Mei began a formal discussion.

Kiana listened for a while and felt it had little to do with her, so she noticed Hua not far away.

"That Dr. Mei does look somewhat like Mei, and Fu Yan also resembles her a lot..." she couldn't help but think.

—Only the class monitor remains the same class monitor.

Compared to the Fu Hua I knew, this one is obviously much more inexperienced.

“Many memories have been lost… so the attitude of the Herrscher of Knowledge at that time can be explained.”

Those who are in a meeting are in a meeting, and those who are daydreaming are daydreaming.

At this moment, Bai Yan was thinking about how to deal with the upcoming Eighth Herrscher.

After the last hasty and haphazard mixing of runes, Yi Jian Jing Hong has become completely unrecognizable. However, the good news is that this distortion is not a bad thing, but rather has a certain clear direction.

Human consciousness is influenced by its own senses; all changes in consciousness are based on the information received from the outside world.

Therefore, even the ruler of consciousness cannot truly escape from matter.

This is also why, in the original timeline, the Eighth Herrscher was ultimately able to be locked down and eliminated after its physical coordinates were determined.

The Heralds of Knowledge and the Treasures of the pre-civilization were different. If the scientists of that time had not come up with a countermeasure in time, but instead had some blond-haired guy interfered, the casualties that could have been caused would have been much more than those.

"The phase barrier can be compressed and used as a shield. Its defensive power increases exponentially compared to the original, and the power of a thousand tribulations is far from enough to break it."

"But it seems that other changes occurred after it was incorporated into the Four Pillars runes..."

Thinking of this, Bai Yan had an idea and said to Kiana, "Come with me for a bit later, I need your help."

Kiana snapped out of her reverie: "Huh? What is it?"

"I want to develop a new sword technique, and having you test it here would be the best way to achieve the desired effect."

Volume 1: Chapter 146: Absolute Defense?

Training Course.

Kiana got into position, ready to cooperate with Bai Yan in testing the new sword technique.

In its rudimentary form, the new move appears to be a defensive technique, but in reality, it combines offense and defense.

The Guardian Sword, the Swift Strike, and the Four Sacred Pillars runes combine to compress and construct an invisible wall, which can also be launched outwards.

It can absorb the aura of the Herrscher of Death's power and the fusion ball of the Herrscher of Flame, making it a multi-dimensional divine skill in terms of defense.

Regarding the offensive aspect, according to Kiana's account, she quickly lost consciousness after being hit, and could not recall many specific details, only remembering that all her senses felt like they had experienced a disaster.

The test was to verify just how many defensive dimensions the new sword technique had.

To maintain secrecy, only two people were present at the test site.

The so-called defensive dimension refers to the types of attacks that a barrier can block, such as physical attacks like sound, light, electricity, heat, magnetism, and direct collisions.

The most crucial point is that Bai Yan is currently unable to test this; we must find someone else later.

"Ready?" Kiana asked, standing at the switch.

"bring it on."

"Then I'll pull the plug."

“Please pull.”

The power switch was switched off, and the high-voltage current was connected, instantly illuminating the entire training ground with electric light.

A tremendous thunderclap resounded, and specks of light fell, while wisps of smoke rose faintly.

Kiana covered her eyes, estimated that the time was about right, and then turned the power off again.

After two training sessions, he returned to normal.

Bai Yan stood there, unharmed.

"Even electromagnetic force can't penetrate it? That's quite an ability..."

While it's a headache to be against such an ability, one feels completely at ease once on the same side as such a power holder.

"Isolate matter and energy, and now we'll test the strength."

"How can this be tested? Even with my full strength, I can't break through your defenses, so who can?"

Bai Yan shook his head.

The Fusion Warriors haven't developed artificial collapse yet, and even if they did, only a handful of people would have a chance to penetrate their defenses.

However, the current testing method involves dividing the same force into multiple identical barriers. The attacking side gradually increases the attack intensity, and after reaching the critical point, the upper limit of the defense can be obtained by working backward.

However, after the test, Kiana told Bai Yan something that surprised him.

“You may have misunderstood something. Due to my own abilities, I can clearly ‘see’ you and attack you. But if it were someone else, without special abilities to locate your spatial position, they probably wouldn’t be able to determine the direction of the attack at all.”

"What about a thousand tribulations?"

“You were just standing there, not dodging or avoiding. I guess he was in a rush, and since he didn’t miss a single punch, he didn’t pay much attention to it.”

In other words, Qianjie punched wildly at nothing in front of him, and after the barrier was removed, he was directly knocked away by an incomprehensible attack.

"So that's it."

"But your ability is truly amazing. No matter how much you expand it, all the attacks will be spread out... If your mental power can support a large enough range, wouldn't you be able to cover an entire planet?"

"It's not that exaggerated..."

Shortly after the test ended, Sakura found Shirohiko.

Her expression was somewhat serious.

"what happened?"

"When you asked me to stop Aponia from speaking, did you already know about her abilities?"

Kiana, who was standing nearby, was taken aback upon hearing this.

What are Aponia's abilities?

During her temporary stay at the sanatorium, Aponia was exceptionally kind to her.

As for her abilities, Kiana felt that she was just an ordinary nun.

Something is wrong!

Having spent so many days with Aponia, I hadn't noticed anything amiss; so why was Fu Yan able to discern her abilities the moment we met?

Kiana remained calm and composed, tidying up the items as if nothing had happened, while simultaneously listening intently.

However, Bai Yan avoided answering this question and changed the subject, asking Ying, "What happened?"

"Those people in the sanatorium... have completely lost control and turned into suicide bombers."

"That man named Qianjie disposed of them himself and is currently being held in temporary custody, but he did so voluntarily."

"As for Aponia, the higher-ups have now pinned the blame for the Twilight Street Honkai disease on her and imprisoned her as well."

Sakura looked at Shirohiko.

"So, how do you know?"

"Are you sure you want to know the reason?" Bai Yan asked in return.

"..."

"The higher-ups want to get my opinion?" Bai Yan changed the subject.

Sakura nodded.

"In principle, I do not want to get involved in these decisions of the Firemoth, but I have a piece of advice for you. If it is convenient, please pass it on to Aponia."

"Advice?" Sakura asked, somewhat puzzled. "What kind of advice?"

"Twisting the will of others will eventually come at a price; this is a lesson learned from experience."

“I will pass on the message, but perhaps it’s pointless now, because the higher-ups have already decided to have her undergo the Fusion Warrior surgery. Unlike us lucky ones, the mortality rate for the Fusion Warrior surgery is extremely high,” Sakura said, shaking her head.

"During a Honkai outbreak, the survival rate is very low, so why are there so many people who manage to escape unharmed from the epicenter?"

Sakura paused for a moment and then said, "Perhaps your guess is correct."

"Don't report that last sentence, otherwise it will be me who harmed that nun, and that would put me in a difficult position."

“I understand—I will keep Aponia a secret for now.”

After Sakura left, Kiana, who hadn't gleaned any crucial information, couldn't help but run over to ask Shirohiko.

"What are Aponia's abilities?"

Kiana became increasingly suspicious that this guy in front of her might actually have some kind of supernatural ability to see through everything.

“Naive little girl,” Bai Yan said with a teasing smile, “what do you think is the minimum requirement for leading a group of people in a place like Twilight Street?”

"Because everyone believes in Aponia?"

"..."

Unless everyone living on Dusk Street is Kiana.

But if that's the case, then the security situation on Twilight Street should be quite good.

"Uh, haha, what is it?" Kiana chuckled and scratched her head, perhaps feeling that her reason was a bit far-fetched.

"It's absolute force, my lovely Kiki."

"But Aponia is just a nun, she doesn't have that kind of power, does she?"

Bai Yan reached out and patted Kiana's head.
