A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

It is not an explosion in the physical sense, nor is it a scorching heat in the temperature sense, but rather a replacement and assimilation in the alchemical sense.

The magical light cannon will not disperse the fireworks that permeate the world. The breath of the world that connects all things will carry the fireworks endlessly into the distance, until all the creations like the vast ocean are transformed into refined elements themselves.

To resist the assimilation process, one must either annihilate each other with large-scale energy that conflicts with the attributes of mana, or use superb skills to disintegrate the foundation of the refined elements. However, as far as Sera could see, the creations obviously did not have such ability.

Oh, no, here comes a big guy...

The dark clouds were broken open by the giant's trajectory. The towering sphere wrapped in lightning looked like a miniature model of a celestial body. The multiple star rings surrounding it were emitting a presence that was hard to ignore with their bright white appearance.

A mysterious creation... could it be this big in real life?!

The corners of Sera's mouth twitched, but now that she had achieved her goal, she had no interest in witnessing the horror of the creation.

Thirty-six strategies, taking action is the best strategy!

The spiraling black and white beams of light shone through, lightly erasing the earth without any explosion, burning or other strange phenomena. It was like an eraser-like attack that destroyed the equivalent mass, and thus made the sphere with an unusually alarming presence come to the conclusion that it had been destroyed.

But... I didn't get any information about any special individuals.

123.Improvisational Dance

The spiral of black and white was like a flower formed by the interweaving of creation and destruction. It was extremely strange and beautiful, but the moment it just sprouted, Sera had already left the battlefield.

(The theme of the area reached in this deck exploration: machinery, creation...)

(The risk level is high, please be careful, Sera, the main fighter...)

"..."

The familiar prompt sound echoed in her ears, and soon it soothed the throbbing in her heart from witnessing the strange scene she had just witnessed. Sera, who still remembered it clearly, was sure that if she was hit, something terrible would happen.

However, everything is gone now. Even if I will enter that dark world again next time, I will not rashly fall into the encirclement because I have been prepared.

In the spiritual realm, the bright blue sky and the leisurely floating clouds are themselves synonymous with beauty. The happiness picked from the sky by the sun is constantly scattered on the green grassland.

The tailor's hut standing on the grass is surrounded by clusters of blooming flowers, making this workshop the most unique existence in the spiritual realm. Even the simple wood color seems to be fluttering with the sweat and hard work that Xilin has shed for her dream.

Unfortunately, the lovely Miss Celine was currently taking the lead in physical activities outside, so they could only chat through their minds for the time being. Therefore, Sera had to comfortably occupy the soft bed that Celine had laid out for her in the cabin, and communicated with Celine in a casual manner.

In reality, at the node of home, the puppet workshop that Sera had painstakingly built was now being given a new look by Xilin as if it were recycled.

"Celin, what are you doing?"

A wave of fear emerged in the girl's blue eyes, but immediately, Xilin, who was in control of the body, began to communicate skillfully.

"I'm making new clothes. I'm currently trying them out on the discarded doll you made, Sera."

"Hey, I'm really not used to your mana. I have to memorize a bunch of magic formulas. This is clearly making it difficult for me."

She complained verbally about the difficulty of using mana. When she was a Herrscher, the powerful Sirin only needed to use her imagination and a little scientific knowledge to create amazing real-life effects. It was not like now, where she had to rely on a series of complicated knowledge to construct spells and magic circles.

"It's important to understand the reason behind it. Magic is a way of exploring the world, so it's normal for it to be a little difficult."

"Once you become familiar with it, Xilin, you'll learn quickly."

The holy blue light of Mana flashed between her flexible fingers. Following Sera's instructions, Xilin tried to condense the thread of control, allowing the puppet wearing clothes to walk, better showing the beauty of the newly designed clothes.

In a mysterious way, the soul was touched by another soul, and the snow-white wrist felt an extra warmth from another person. Mana, as the embodiment of spirituality, intertwined the thoughts of the two people, weaving into the holy blue silk thread, making the originally static puppet move quietly.

The circular axis of the joint moved silently, and the faceless puppet took graceful steps in front of Xilin. Its elegant figure was like a princess in a fairy tale, and its posture in a long skirt had an indescribable charm.

"Would you like to dance, Miss Celine~"

There is no doubt that Sera is the main manipulator of the puppet controlled by the thread of domination. With the pleasant voice transmitted from her heart, Xilin naturally understood what Sera meant.

Um... I can't dance...

She hesitated and paused in front of the puppet's inviting hand, her eyes mostly focused on the dress that had just emerged from her hands. Xilin could see that under the silver-gray light, the blue and white dress was emitting a sea-like light, with patterns like flowers and waves, elegant and charming. If it were really worn on a person, it would surely be even more gorgeous and dazzling.

"Let's try. I can't do that anyway."

Listening to Sirin's thoughts cunningly, Sera comfortably talked to Sirin in the spiritual realm while manipulating the puppet through the thread of control.

The unyielding hand immediately grabbed the girl's delicate little hand, just as if Sera suddenly pulled the hesitant Xilin away, and a light melody sounded in the workshop.

"You really can't do that?!"

As soon as she started, she realized something was wrong. Her clumsy skills were completely defeated by the calm and elegant doll. She could vaguely sense the other person's secret joy. Xilin's face suddenly darkened, making the girl's temperament more gloomy and terrifying.

"I really can't! These are just difficult puppeteering techniques. I can't really dance like that!"

This is a lie.

As the founder of the Mori Band, how could I avoid dancing which is closely related to music while studying music?

The light mountains and rivers flowed slowly in the atmospheric resonant music, blowing past the ears like the wind, making Xilin, who was passively following the dance of the puppet princess, gradually calm down. Although she was passive, she also felt the tranquil warmth, like a mother's hug, warm and nostalgic.

Every step was just right, and as the fingers of the hands were intertwined, an unspeakable tacit understanding gradually flowed out, silently permeating the soul and being engraved in the deepest part of the memory.

Xilin still remembers that Sera was a strong experimental subject. Even though she looked at the researchers who abused her with indifference, she also hated this unfair treatment and this dark world. However, she inexplicably kept her bottom line and did not turn her cruel thoughts into reality.

That's why I was confused at first and felt sympathy for the young K502, until we became each other's companions and supported each other to get to where we are today.

Oh, hatred, you are so fragile that you cannot even compare to the happiness that is so close to you.

She gently grasped the puppet's palm, breathing slowly, letting the moving light dance in her eyes, and then coordinated with Sera's movements, letting the light and atmospheric accompaniment gradually come to an end.

Spinning and moving in the small workshop, the romance melted in the air and slowly melted into the blue eyes. Both Xilin and Sera who was "remotely controlling" were very satisfied with this impromptu duet.

"The dress looks good, but it needs some alterations. It's showing a bit too much skin."

Sera gave Xilin a suggestion, and then kicked her off the line while she was still immersed in her thoughts, taking control of her body. In an instant, her soft blue eyes turned into clear and noble elegant blue eyes.

I'll take a few days off first, sort out what I've gained, and then go explore the deck. I've been there for too long, and my good impression of it has almost been completely wiped out.

“Sera…”

A resentful, eerie and terrifying voice rang in my ears, but in reality, I couldn't find even the slightest source of the sound.

"Don't ask, the only thing I'm asking is that our homeland needs a master like me to maintain it again!"

Then at least you should tell me before kicking me down.

Xilin thought so with aggrieved look on her face.

124. Mental Agreement

The work of adjusting the home's great barrier did not take too long. After the two nodes of the workshop and Oak Baltek were built, the great barrier was actually quite complete, and it had become a different world hidden in the woods.

The energy of collapse is extinct here, and only the newly born mana continues to circulate, transforming the nutrients in the earth and the sunlight from the sky into pure and new substances.

The improved alchemy plants bloom and bear fruit in various areas of the home. The fruits with different tastes are enough to meet the daily needs of the residents, allowing them to break free from the low-level needs of life and begin to explore the meaning of life.

Winster the moose, Urna the brown bear, and Baltek the oak tree became the new generation of teachers. They taught the wisdom of magic under the name of Sera Majia Yihan, allowing the taproot of knowledge to sprout tender green buds, and a bright future was foreseeable.

Now, Serra is planning to introduce some more interesting systems.

You know, sometimes nature and machinery can be integrated.

A bright white light wandered around the home. Wherever it passed, the animals living in harmony stopped to pay their respects, and in their own way, they followed the light and shadow remotely controlled by Sera.

The otter who wanted to be an architect shouted and followed the ball of light with the precious building materials he had found, carefully tracing the mentor's clean figure with his eyes, hoping to create a place of sincere and genuine respect.

He pondered how to design the fluorescent image called Ihan to reflect the residents' high respect for it.

The lynx, wanting to soar in the sky, takes elegant cat steps, quietly following on the treetops, mixing among the squirrels, green snakes, night owls and other animals, hoping to find the secret of flying in the body of the light ball.

"Squeak."

The squirrel, holding a small branch as a stick, shouted a few times, signaling everyone to line up properly and move in an orderly manner so as not to cause inconvenience to other residents. His senior-looking commanding look matched the small branch in his hand that came from Baltek, which was the oak tree's appreciation for its outstanding students.

It wasn't long before most of the animals in the places they passed through gathered into a huge tide, occupying the vast land, forcing the originally happy trees to shake their leaves helplessly and begin to complain about their weight.

"jingle."

Sera stopped inspecting the barrier. Facing each resident with different demands and pure hearts, she felt a little headache, but she enjoyed it. As the result of building her home, she gladly accepted this pain that was not really painful.

The atmosphere vibrated slightly, and solid crystals fell in this area, embedding themselves next to the ignorant stones. The waves of blessing spread along the power of mana, baptizing the nearby herds of beasts and inspiring the originally immobile trees, allowing them to see the possibility of transforming into human forms.

The holy blue gems shine brightly, and no matter day or night, things derived from Serra's spirituality will radiate the light of wisdom here, enlightening the residents who come here.

It can be regarded as opening up an automatic classroom, which can also relieve some of the pressure on Urna and the others.

The girl who was watching all this in the workshop raised a slight smile at the corner of her mouth. Sera, who had turned off the light and shadow, began to summarize the knowledge gained from exploring the deck. With the magical automatic secretary automatically working without wind, the technical information in Sera's mind began to be written down, and the shining mana light showed that the papers were magic books.

"Design and Construction Regulations for Hydroponic Farms", "Shield Stand Manufacturing Principles (Including Standard Examples)"...

Most of them are things that cannot be reproduced, because Sera does not have machine tools or other parts with processing precision that can reach the level of Eyalon. If they are purely handmade, they will just make a big toy, which is of no use. But this does not prevent Sera from satisfying her little collecting hobby. As a hamster, it is a very happy thing to see a full collection.

However, some of the technologies can still serve as reference points to help Sera understand how the world works from other perspectives, thereby promoting her own progress.

The Mind Protocol.

How a cold machine could give birth to a precious mind may have been just an accident at the beginning, but after long-term research, the birth of the mind is no longer a secret.

They understand what love is, they understand what hate is, they understand what happiness is, they understand what suffering is. Mechanical minds are no different from their creators. They are the children of the creator and the inheritors of the spark of hope for the continuation of civilization.

And now, what Sera really needs is a heart as complex and precious as that of a human being. Otherwise, Ochis as a doll will be just an empty shell. Even with a beautiful appearance, it will still be just an empty toy and cannot meet her expectations of Ochis.

——The increasingly prosperous home requires more manpower to help manage it. In addition, the exploration of the soul is also an important topic for Sera to understand the composition of the world.

Reading this book titled "The Mind Protocol" with spiritual resonance, the concise and clear definition explains the elements of the mind, namely subjective agency, and the shape of the mind is defined as the human heart.

Reading this unique document with great interest, Sera soon touched upon the core underlying code of the protocol. The architecture can be divided into three parts, which can be understood as sensibility, rationality, and chaos. The first two are understandable, but the third one does seem a bit difficult.

Because in the books, there is no definite explanation for the chaotic nature of the mind's operation. There are only a few interesting hypotheses involving mysterious things such as the quantum field or higher dimensions, which are elusive.

Sera was confused by this, but there was no need to worry. As long as it could be used, it would be fine. With this in mind, she began to collect materials and tried to use manual skills to accurately carve out an intelligent mechanical life form to see the situation.

In the puppet and golem area, the workshop was suddenly swept clean. As the owner, Sera, she rummaged through boxes and cabinets everywhere. The spiritual materials were all produced by her homeland, whether they were branches that fell from trees after molting, or the powder of vines and flowers that withered, or even the shells left behind by insect metamorphosis...

In addition, there are shiny gems, round and smooth resins, polished obsidian, etc., which seem to be able to support her experiments, but also make Sera realize the lack of material types.

Various metals, steels, etc. need to be imported.

Looking at the pile of materials lifted up by the breeze and gravity, in the golem workshop area, Sera thought for a moment and then sent a request to old man Abel who was enjoying himself in the forest.

—Help me import some raw materials, and maybe even some goodies like ice cream machines...

Of course, speaking under a pseudonym requires grace and a mysterious demeanor.

125.Material Preparation

A small shack built by oneself stood stupidly in the open space. The immature building exuded a simple style. It was more like a shade place than a house. But if you asked old man Abel how it felt to have nothing at home.

Then, his answer was similar to an ancient saying from an ancient Eastern country, even though he had no friendship with that great poet in history.

——This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant.

However, occasionally, when he was full of energy, he would think about what he could do in his new life to make this paradise better, and at the same time vent his youthful mentality so that he would not always think about recreational activities such as fishing and tree climbing.

It was on this day that the mission he had been looking forward to arrived, just like a retired soldier hearing the horn of another omen, making the blood flowing in the old man's veins boil.

"Good morning, Abel."

A sacred and ethereal voice accompanied by a pure ball of light appeared in front of him, making the old man who was teasing the dog blush immediately. Even the lively Labrador retriever immediately quieted down, wagging its tail from time to time, obviously very happy.

"Hello, respected Ihan, may I ask why you came to see me?"

Sensing the arrival of responsibility, Abel, with a passionate heart, had his heart beating wildly, like an active volcano about to erupt. His high enthusiasm was hidden under the seemingly calm appearance, and no one knew when it would erupt.

"Yes, I do have something to ask you, and it's something only you are best suited to handle. So, I hope you can temporarily go outside to acquire some rare resources in the forest and bring some vitality to the park."

A ball of light like a firefly floated in the air, and clear words came from the vibrating atmosphere. Although it was a head taller than Abel, it was not arrogant and domineering. The tone of discussion could be described as gentle. Abel did not disappoint and answered without hesitation with the decisive style of a soldier.

"So, venerable Ihan, what resources do you need?"

Sera, who was far away in the workshop, nodded slightly, very satisfied with the old man's performance. Then, using space teleportation, she sent the funds needed for going out to Abel.

The transparent and moist gemstone has a smooth and crystal cross-section as if it were formed naturally. Its pure texture without any impurities has both the moisture of running water and the thickness of the earth. Even an old man who is not engaged in the hardware industry knows its value given its size.
