A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

"I understand. I can give it a try."

The sterile breeze lifted the broken limbs, and the vital mana flowed into them to activate the nerves, weaving them into an exquisite micro-neural network in a simulated manner, completing the part that had long been burned to nothing. In the eyes of the intelligent mechanical physician, the exquisite mana operation in front of him was an unimaginable peak.

How did Miss Sera grasp the unique neural trends of individual humans, use the remaining neural structures to infer the missing parts, and then simulate and connect them on the millimeter and micron scales?

The doctor really wants to know the mystery behind all the problems, but now, the most important thing is to save the patient's future life.

He began to manipulate the patient's wound section, and the wind blade cut the necrotic charred layer cleanly and neatly, with a precision even higher than that of surgical instruments. After Sheng Qing's mana repeated the healing magic and the shaping of the pseudo-nerves, the right arm was basically perfectly combined, which marked the end of the operation.

"It's over. The arm has been saved. According to my estimate, he will regain full consciousness in fifteen standard days."

The Holy Green's light faded in the bright operating room, turning into a solid mana crystal that fell into Sera's hands, and then into the wounded man's right arm that had just been reattached.

"This is the mana needed to maintain the ritual. If it's not enough, remember to send me another message."

The breath of life nearby was reflected in her perception, and there were no more wounded people who needed Sera's help. After all, in real danger, only a few people can survive.

The blue eyes reflected the unconscious figure of the other person lying on the bed. Sera, feeling bored, gently shifted her gaze and was about to leave when she heard the omnic doctor's question.

"Excuse me, Miss Sera, what is the basis for weaving a pseudo-nerve for him? Although it may be rarely used nowadays, it can also be useful in routine surgery."

"Puppetry."

Sera said softly, and continued explaining in the puzzled look of the omnic physician.

"It is a branch of alchemy that seeks to understand the composition of humans, explore their origins, and even the existence of life."

"..."

"Give me your ID, and I'll try to write down what I've learned and thought, and send it to you in a systematic way."

"Grateful."

After the brief conversation, they exchanged IDs. Sera, who found the familiar breath, reported it obediently this time, and suddenly she was teleported to the side of the acquaintance.

"Mr. Nicola."

"…Is your arm saved?"

"It's saved. That gentleman doesn't need a bionic prosthesis anymore. But, how many people did you lose this time?"

In the hospital lobby, the smell of disinfectant mixed with ashes and gunpowder smoke, lingering and wandering under the pale light, like invisible and formless ghosts.

"Four were killed on the spot. Five were seriously injured. Eighteen companions were completely shut down."

121. The Pioneer of That Thing

"..."

Silence spread in the hall. The smell of burnt ashes could be smelled on Nicholas' body. The smell was lingering, as if it was the sacrifice of others. The heavy death was the most terrible punishment for the survivors in the world.

Those who are responsible will blame themselves for every moment of their actions, looking for details that could have been done better, so as to better protect others in the future, but such recollection is no less than self-execution.

The defeated will lose their previous courage, let cowardice take over their body and mind, and turn from a noble warrior into an ordinary coward.

The total population of Eyalon, including mechanical life forms, does not exceed 5,000, so this blow is already big enough.

"What happened to you?"

Sitting in the deserted chair, Sera continued to ask, her words full of calmness.

"Those soldiers, super-standard magic-driven mindless weapons, first rushed into our ranks at high speed as melee vanguards, and then launched targeted attacks from long-range sniper units."

"Cold and efficient, no different from the stereotypical machine."

Nicholas maintained his composure, and his cold words did not reveal any regret, self-blame, or guilt. However, to a mechanical life form with a heart, such an emotionless tone said it all.

What is revealed is just the tip of the iceberg, and beneath the iceberg, there is a raging flame and hot magma constantly gushing out, trying to burn this tragic reality to ashes.

"Maybe the reason I caused such a scene in the city center is what attracted those things here."

The clear voice gave an acceptable reason, which led to the next sentence Sera wanted to say.

"Next time you go out, remember to call me, Nicholas."

"..."

Nicholas rubbed his hands together fiercely, then he collapsed back on the chair, and the words that came out of his mouth were not what he wanted.

"Those things can't be destroyed. If even one of them goes into shutdown mode, the abnormal situation will attract more enemies."

"The best option is for us to hide underground for a few months until they leave without any harvest."

"Eyalon's destruction was caused by a massive encirclement and suppression after it annihilated the attacking machines. Even the dictatorial ruler's utmost efforts could not change the final outcome."

After sharing his painful experience, Nikola, who began to show signs of decadence, was ready to hide underground. After all, it would be unwise to go out and collect resources now.

"Is that so?"

Sera understood the frustrating situation caused by their arrival. Even if she could annihilate them, she still had to suppress her anger and murderous intent, licking her wounds, shrinking in a desperate situation and living underground.

What a helpless and depressing reality. In a world where even fighting back is not allowed, is there still hope for the future?

As I raised my head from my drooping eyelids, I saw the brighter hall scene: the automated registration machine, the automated payment machine, the automated announcement machine...

Under the high-tech operation mode, everything is in good order, but the only thing is that there is a lack of people coming and going. A few people come and go sparsely, and even the smell of disinfectant in the air is not taken away.

"Ugh."

A sigh that was inconsistent with her age and cute appearance came from Sera, and reached Nicholas' ears as a lament for Eyalon's situation. Silently, Sera came up with an idea.

"Nikola, if I act as bait, can I lure those things away?"

"Believe me, I'm sure I can get out of this safely."

…………

Time passed unpleasantly during the conversation, and the reason for Nicholas's rejection was naturally engraved in people's hearts. However, in the current situation, perhaps a small sacrifice was needed.

At least, Eyalon has no better solution now, right?

The approval for space transfer arrived as promised, and soon she returned to her assigned room. It was a standard-sized room filled with simple furniture and daily necessities. In terms of value, it was no more than the wrist-mounted computer the girl was wearing, but it had a bit of the feel of home, making it extremely precious.

After staying for four days, it is time to go back home and take a look. It is a pity that I cannot take the people here out. Otherwise, even the real world shrouded by Honkai energy would be at least much better than here.

There was basically nothing to pack, but the knowledge left for Eyalon still needed to be sorted out. In the quiet room, virtual light and shadow were projected faintly, and many characters were printed out under the girl's thoughts and manual adjustments, explaining some of the mysteries of puppetry and magic techniques.

Time passed quickly due to her dedicated work. The girl's kindness made her rack her brains to sort out what she had learned, and try her best to find knowledge that could change the situation of the residents here.

Even for the nutrient solution used in hydroponic farms, she provided some alchemical processing procedures, adding medicinal properties that promote growth under conditions of limited resources.

The light that had been on all the time suddenly changed, causing Sera to temporarily stop writing the documents. However, this was not because of a power supply problem, but because someone had arrived.

"Sierra."

The soft voice revealed a hint of strength, and the cute and pretty short girl walked into the room with a charming step, like a beam of purple light breaking into a pool of water, breaking the tranquility of the room but adding a brilliant brilliance.

"Annie?"

Sierra, who had been lying flat on the pillow and writing rapidly, sat up in bed without any manner. She expected Nicola to continue to persuade her, but why Anier?

"Are you leaving? It's very dangerous outside now. Sera, can you please not leave..."

The soft voice was filled with pleading, and because of its weakness, it became like a plea, which made people feel reluctant. Its powerful lethality was countless times stronger than any reasonable exhortation. In an instant, Sera had to admit that she was a little shaken.

But, just a little bit.

"Who did you listen to?"

Touching Anier's smooth purple hair by the bed, Sera put on a puzzled expression as if saying "this is not happening at all" and began to fight with the mastermind behind the scenes.

If it's just Annie, then the next sentence should explain the specific person.

"That's what Brother Nicholas said..." A pair of pale golden eyes flashed with a tearful light as if being bullied. No one could accept such a watery look. Suddenly, Anier seemed to know something, "Brother Nicholas lied to me?"

"No, it was my own decision."

Getting close to the innocent and lovely Annieer, although Sera was slightly shorter in height, her advantage in bed allowed her to hug the girl who came to persuade her tightly, allowing her feelings to be transmitted to the other person's heart along with the warmth and regular heartbeat.

"Don't worry, this isn't a farewell. We'll meet again in the future. No matter how dangerous the outside world is, it can't catch up with me."

"So, just trust me for once. Sera won't let her friends worry~"

Eye to eye, nose to nose, the close eye contact sent each other's thoughts into the heart, like a breeze, blowing away other people's anxiety.

"really?"

"Really, Sera never breaks her promise!"

Seizing the opportunity to win, Sera dispelled Anier's concerns with a resolute and confident tone. In fact, Sera didn't think anything would go wrong this time.

I'm no longer the sage's disciple who suffered in the forest! Now I'm the founder of a real paradise and a candidate for the renowned sage of the forest!

"Hmm..." Anier made a sound as soft as a mosquito's hum, and then left Sera's room with a look of being fooled, allowing her to continue her technical compilation work.

Hmm, Annie, you seem a little gullible.

122. Analysis, Ancient, Mysterious

The sight can touch the veins of time and space, and the spirit can dive deep into the unpredictable gaps in time and space. The miracles achieved in this way are transformed into profound techniques, which directly eliminate the distance in the physical sense, break through the blockade of barriers and positions and reach the representative of darkness.

It is said that if the skills can be advanced to a certain level, then it is omnipresent and omnipresent, as only gods can understand.

The wind and sand naturally avoid the girl who is proficient in wind magic. Even in this dark world, she can still turn the devastating wind and barren earth into her help.

Boom.

Thunder roared in the sky, and a flash of light pierced the darkness, illuminating the enemy units that were running on the ground like crabs or flying in the sky like fighter planes.

A star-ring-like restraint surrounds the energy core exposed to the outside world, allowing the rich and condensed magic power to be compressed within the magic crystal stone. As the position is covered, it is continuously extracted into the energy circuit, realizing the powerful functions of the vanguards.

Communication, analysis, search, destruction...

They are small organisms produced by the things left behind by that thing. For hundreds of years, they have been plundering the lives of the indigenous people like locusts, causing the planet's ecology to rush towards an unspeakable hell.

They are taller than Mr. Orange, and their height is estimated to be over five meters. The magic power they possess... probably each of them is at least at the level of three Arisas?

Although Arisa is not known for her magic power, this is a bit exaggerated.

There was a hint of seriousness on her brow. When she was about to face these things, Sera put away the relaxed attitude she had shown in front of Anier, Nicola and others.

The terrain in the suburbs is a plain area with few undulations. It is open and suitable for pursuit. It is easy to attract them. While leading them to at least a hundred kilometers away, you should also pay attention to the surrounding environment.

The mana flowing in the body like an ocean began to boil, and became higher with the fluctuation of spirit. In a flash, bright holy blue was shining behind a shiny machine. The scorching wind and thunder intertwined into destructive plasma. The burst of power instantly penetrated the defensive position and engulfed its energy core.

A blinding light rose from the earth, its intense brilliance stirring up an unnatural hurricane, and the scorching wind pressure crushed over the barren earth, making the passing of this creation particularly intense.

Confirm elimination as a whole.

The strange magical communication was accurately captured in the atmosphere. The wave frequency, which was very different from that of normal life, echoed in the space and was soon transmitted to all the surrounding vanguard bodies.

Standing on the ground, her silver-white hair, unstained by the world, danced lightly in the wind, and her blue eyes reflected the familiar yet unfamiliar appearance of the vanguards. In fact, after seeing them, Sera understood exactly the reason for the loss of civilization.

The analyzed creations, the flowing star ring restraints wrapped around the deep blue core of the central sphere, flew through the air, gathering terrifying magical power, and were about to launch a saturation bombardment in the next moment.

An ancient creation, its sharp claws not only allow it to move swiftly on the ground, but also pose a deadly threat as a cutting and slashing tool. Insight into the flow of its magical power reveals that it also possesses the ability to launch long-range attacks.

In a sense, it is natural that machines cannot defeat creations. After all...

There were more guesses in her mind about the thing that destroyed the entire civilization. If it was an existence related to the weapon type of creation, then Sera was indeed quite familiar with it.

The howling hurricane flowed obediently under the girl's control, and the buzzing sound came from the vibrating atmosphere. In the world that suddenly became bright, the extremely condensed gas turned into a high-speed rotating shield. With the assistance of the Manalya defense array, it easily blocked the rays of magic energy and thermal energy, allowing the heat that was enough to destroy any carbon-based life to dissipate from all directions.

It's easy to deal with a single one, but it's hard to deal with them in large numbers. Enemies that can cooperate are much more difficult to deal with than a swarm of demons.

After testing the strength of the creatures, Sera, who thought she could handle the situation, began to choose a direction. After locking onto a position far away from the urban ruins and Eyalon with her spiritual intuition, she rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, breaking the speed of sound in an instant.

The flying sand in the air was not an obstacle. Even without the help of the wind elves in the forest, Sera was like an elf favored by the atmosphere. She rode away in the unresistance gale, dodging back and forth among all kinds of high-heat rays. Her calm posture made the gorgeous holy blue shine in the sky.

The tangible wind of Holy Green is the trace of the transformation of Mana. The trail it drags is like a lightning that cuts through the darkness, or like the gorgeous tail of a comet. Wherever it goes, there is brightness and splendor without any trace of death. What is revealed in the scan of the creation is the noble and clear vitality, a big fish that has not been seen in decades.

Therefore, the scorching rays must penetrate the chest of the prey, allowing the outstanding things nurtured in extreme environments to be completely analyzed and become nourishment for the advancement of the "world".

Five minutes passed quickly. A hundred kilometers was just a small distance for both the pursuer who had exceeded the speed of sound and Sera, and this also meant the end of the chase.

More and more guys are attracted, and the dense groups like a swarm of bees and the vast ocean can cause intensive phobia at just one glance. But when they shine together in a matrix in the sky, a new sun will rise in the dim world.

Sera had no doubt about this, so she was ready to annihilate all these guys in the hilly area where the terrain had changed.

“How generous…”

Through chanting, she achieved control over the elements that constituted the world. Exquisite runes spread in the void, and then formed into a dense new wind, a ball of blazing flame. Before the targeted sniper attack that suddenly became so bright that it drowned out all the colors in the world, the raging fire around Sera promoted the expansion of the refined elements.
