A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

"Yes, I'm keeping an eye on Mistellin's current situation. It's a bit like transformation or reincarnation, but it's just the beginning of a process. Whether it can be completed in the future is still unknown."

"Xilin, just wait for her for a while. It would be nice to go to the cafeteria next door to have something to eat first."

Sera's words were concise and clear, as if there was still something unfinished over there. After glancing at Misterine a few more times, Silin really went to the cafeteria to get some food. Her decisive performance was truly admirable.

Making friends with the stars, encouraging each other with the moon, walking with the sun, the fantastic feeling is like the confession of nature, the sound of the world. Being in it, Misterlin can't tell whether she is having an absurd and bizarre dream or being dazed by too much information.

When everything was over, the tower in front of them was still shrouded in the misty night, while Xilin, who seemed to have not moved, had a glass of clear orange juice in her hand, and her quiet appearance was natural and elegant.

In addition, there was another black-haired girl in a white dress looking at her curiously, her sea-blue eyes filled with curiosity about seeing something new. If Misterlin was not mistaken, the black-haired girl seemed to want to take her apart to take a look.

"Oh, it's over. How was the clairvoyance?"

Xilin sipped her juice obediently while the person who spoke was the head of the observatory, the cafeteria's unrivaled chef, the winged angel Fimi.

"Clairvoyance? That's an apt description, but it doesn't feel very good. There's a hint of order amidst the chaos. If possible, it's best not to come here too often."

Femi nodded, a look of understanding on her face.

"It seems you have some talent for the stars. Would you like to consider working at the observatory later? I've heard from mom that you don't have a proper job yet, right?"

"If you come to the observatory, you can start with a one-month trial period to see how things go. After that, you can become a full-time employee with benefits. How about that? Are you interested?"

???

Misterlin accidentally understood Femi's enthusiasm, and was even more confused by the strange way she addressed her as "Mom". She had no idea what this sudden recruitment meant.

"Uh, Miss, could you explain in detail what is going on?"

This was a good question. With the mentality that free labor would be wasted, the energetic Fimi began to describe the situation of the observatory. His description was as eloquent as the Yellow River and vivid, and coupled with the good treatment, it was very convincing.

But when she heard the content of the work, Mistlin showed a gentle smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Femi. I don't think I can handle such an important position."

I was just saved from the overworked position at World Serpent due to an accident, and I don't want to fall into the tiger's mouth again. I'm not interested in analyzing and organizing data!

233. The Stars About to Be Cast into the World

"The Stigmata type... while its relationship to Honkai is different, its structure does have its merits."

In the large workshop, she used the barrier to observe everything in her homeland and took in Misterine's travels. The beautiful girl nodded slightly and withdrew her gaze from the Stigmata.

During the next lookout, Mistlin will get to know the whole picture of her homeland and establish her first connection with its various inhabitants. Her unexpected talents will also help her homeland in other ways.

Frankly speaking, Misterlin’s joining may be an important thing. I hope she can recognize the concept of forest in living in harmony with nature, and stand together with everyone in the future to face the unknown hardships.

The exploration of nodes in different spaces is still ongoing. The analytical data from the observatory is becoming more and more complete. The combined determination method of multiple space-time coordinates will find the exact location of the node and provide assistance for subsequent exploration.

However, my new research is progressing slowly. There is nothing special about ordinary Honkai energy, and its quality is not as good as that of mana of the same size. The ratio of their mutual collision and annihilation is about 1:0.9.

The workshop area belongs to magic research. The huge room is filled with tables and chairs used for teaching, as well as various instruments used for experiments. On the sturdy square table, transparent pipes connected to each other are like long dragons and mountains. A dark purple liquid flows in the winding and swirling places. The seemingly luxurious color is the greatest filth in the world.

The compressed and integrated Honkai energy, confined to a single space, was compressed by a powerful external force, causing a change in its physical state. Eventually, a cluster of amethysts grew in a sealed transparent cup, the bright color of which did not reveal its inherent gloom at all.

The shape of the purple crystal cluster was reflected in Sera's blue eyes. Her outstanding pupils vaguely saw through the sin beneath the gorgeous appearance and saw a will as dead as water.

Will and Honkai energy are inseparable, or it can be said that it is the root of Honkai energy. Without it, Honkai energy is just an ordinary energy particle and will not show too much strangeness.

Then there is only one problem to solve in order to understand the root of Honkai energy.

That's who it is.

What kind of life form is it, what is the purpose of creating Honkai energy, what kind of system does Honkai energy represent, and what kind of future does it lead to?

Many questions flashed through Sera's mind, and her keen spiritual sense gave rise to some clairvoyance. A distant and obscure picture seemed to have emerged from the buried history, carrying a strong smell of decay, trying to reveal something to her, but it soon collapsed into nothingness, leaving only a strong sense of death in her perception.

It felt like the planet Ister, where everything was dead, leaving only a few pitiful remnants struggling to survive on the barren land, relying on the afterglow of prosperity to move forward into the future.

If the collapse is in the form of a creation, then the enemy is very clear, with a specific shape and name. It is either a mysterious creature beyond cognition, or it may be impossible to defeat it no matter how hard you try.

Close your eyes, and let your consciousness roam in the ocean of mana flowing in your body, witnessing that your physical body is increasingly endowed with the wonderful properties of spiritual things. Perhaps one day, the physical body will completely merge with your spirit, achieving unity without distinction between the two.

However, Sera also knew that such sublimation could not be achieved overnight. Even if the scale and quality of her mana underwent another transformation, it would be difficult to complete it in ten years.

Phew, it feels like the inheritance ceremony in the forest should have allowed me to cross at least fifty years of mana accumulation. If it could happen a few more times, I would definitely have mastered the art by now and be able to go out and conquer the world.

All scattered thoughts were eliminated, and the concentrated thoughts placed in the outside world were unfathomable mental power, enough to set off a mental tide like a raging storm, causing terrible shock and blow to the enemy's mind. But at this moment, Sera was only observing and analyzing a mysterious thing formed by the energy of collapse.

——The Herrscher core fragment of the Herrscher of the Void.

The originally bright golden crystals lost their original brilliance and became as turbid as if they had walked through a stinking ditch. They were stained with rich filth from the inside out and were as dim as a withered flower.

This is due to the lack of Honkai energy in the core fragments. The original Sera is undoubtedly one of the best carriers of the Herrscher core. If she had not embarked on the path of magic, it would not be impossible for her to become the Herrscher of the Void in the future.

But unfortunately, everything is in the past. The crystal that is now suffering from the bullying of Mana is like a powerless woman who marries into the house of a villain. After being eaten dry, it still has to endure the prying eyes of the villain, who wants to disassemble the structure of the crystal from every muscle and bone to clarify the secret of the collapse.

According to Misterine's memory, the World Serpent is the product of assigning the Herrscher's core to the imaginary side, and the root of the imaginary side is the Imaginary Tree, and the corresponding magnificent thing is the Quantum Sea.

It seems to be consistent with the space-time structure analyzed by the Observatory. So, logically speaking, the core of the Herrscher should be a node in space-time, connected to something in the spatial phase.

"..."

Sera could not sense any possible nodes. Apart from the physical structure of the core fragment, she found nothing. It was as if the foreign object that had made its home in her body had been beaten to death by a group of people, leaving behind only a miserable corpse.

Alas, there are still too few materials available for research. Ordinary Honkai energy is really useless. Xilin is no longer the Herrscher of the Void, so even if she wants to research, she can't.

It's difficult.

Reluctantly exiting the state of introspection, Sera was in a daze for a while and began to concentrate on the outward exploration project centered on the observatory. As for the first stage that was about to produce results, it would not be long before the home would begin its first projection into the outside world.

Just like aerospace engineering, Sera did not plan to conduct manned space flight directly at the beginning. Instead, she first prepared a test aircraft for projection, tentatively collected data, figured out what the situation was inside the alien space node, and then conducted artificial exploration within a safe range.

“There are so many things going on.”

After reviewing and revising the initial design drawings for a while, Sera accidentally drank some water and noticed the seemingly eternal peaceful atmosphere in the workshop. Only a silent clock was ticking, clearly showing the passage of time.

Getting down from the chair, the girl performed a set of health-enhancing punches in a neat and orderly manner. As a complement to the stick techniques she learned from the elf sage teacher, Sera practiced them often to prevent her body from becoming stiff and heavy after sitting for a long time, and losing its original softness.

After the whistling sound of the wind and the continuous sound of breaking through the air, the girl, feeling a little relieved, sat back on the chair and buried herself in the layers of stacked materials like an old scholar.

This is what it means to study the classics for a lifetime.

If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response.

234.Testing Machine

"So that's how it is. Did Femi offer you a good salary and benefits?"

The silver-gray twin ponytails were naturally draped over the girl's shoulders. A small round hat failed to cover up all the brilliance of her hair, allowing a vague and lovely beauty to gather on the girl's body. Even the smooth curves of her body could not make people feel regretful.

Ochis's temperament is just like this, it is the beauty of a work of art that is exquisite to the extreme, and it does not allow any change. Only the emotion in her scarlet eyes can add a harmonious glow to her, making her shine.

It was now night. In the garden of Mistlin's last stop, a mature woman was communicating with a pretty doll girl, asking them questions and looking very happy. Silin beside her was sitting quietly in the wind, looking up at the sky silently.

The layout of the garden is different from that of the forest. Although there are a few trees rooted in it, more space is provided for channels and crops, allowing sunlight to fully shine on the crops.

Therefore, in such an unobstructed landscape, you can see the quiet and beautiful starry sky that is not blocked by trees. The original Milky Way shines with billions of stars, and the gorgeous star clusters and brilliant ribbons extend to the end of the sight, as if within reach.

"So, Miss O'Clock is also going to offer me an attractive job?"

Misterlin joked that after learning about the planting system of her homeland, she felt that she could get a sinecure here.

After all, the most troublesome planting work has been contracted by those golems that look bulky but are actually light. Even if there are still some vacancies, they will be taken up by interested residents, and it is not expected that they will fall on themselves.

Misterine imagined a leisurely working scene: under the bright sunshine, she was lying on a lounge chair under the shade of a tree, feeling as relaxed as if she were on vacation, her eyes looking at the endless golden waves of wheat, and her ears listening to the sound of swaying ears of wheat.

Sometimes, people are always a little superstitious. They may not be able to complete their work, but they are always very positive about eating and playing around.

Especially after hard work, once you try a leisurely life, it is difficult to resist the instinctive liking of the body and mind.

But Misterlin is different. She doesn't like it instinctively, she really likes to slack off and make trouble.

"The workload of the garden is already well matched to the capabilities of the staff. Unless new projects are launched, there will always be inefficient redundancies."

"Unfortunately, I don't plan to recruit new employees. Besides, everything here is decided by Uncle Winster."

Ochis had no intention of confronting Femi. He spoke with facts and data. In a sense, he seemed more like a robot than Femi, a mechanical creation. His delicate face rarely showed any expression other than coldness. Even if he had a heart with delicate emotions, it was basically hidden under the cold appearance.

But this did not discourage Misterlin. In her opinion, such a girl was undoubtedly an extremely suitable person to make friends with. She was a cold beauty who never seemed to lose her temper. She could be teased without restraint but could also be fully trusted.

Even if she encounters a terrifying danger, Miss Ochis will probably face it rationally and find the greatest chance of survival among the many possibilities.

"That's a shame. I actually quite like the working environment here. I used to be one of the engineers for the Stigma Project in World Serpent, and that was exhausting."

"If I had come earlier, I could have enjoyed a leisurely retirement life earlier."

The poisonous blood that condenses the Honkai energy is ineffective here, because the concentration of Honkai energy in the home can't be said to be better than nothing, it can only be said to be non-existent. The only remaining part is the material of the laboratory, which is extremely weak.

"There's no such thing as retirement in the home, Miss Misterlin. From the beginning to the end, despite some downtime, we've all been moving towards a better future under the leadership of the Master."

"This isn't a natural utopia, but rather an ideal town built by everyone. If you truly want to do something for your homeland, you can first improve your abilities."

Sitting on a rattan chair in front of her wooden house in the garden, Ochis made her suggestions to Misterine. Her pair of scarlet eyes were so cold as if she had never spoken, and even Misterine's response could not affect her calmness in the slightest.

If Misterine wants to study magic, then should I find an opportunity to be her enlightenment teacher and have more disciples under my command who can be used at will?

Gazing at the stars in the sky and listening to the conversation between the two, the idle Xilin silently had a malicious idea, but it was shattered by the troublesome and bad intention.

Forget it. In the future, it would be enough for me to be an ordinary person who is occasionally exploited by Sera. Being able to play and enjoy myself freely in my homeland is already a very good life. There is no need to worry about an extra outsider.

The starry night, accompanied by the gentle evening breeze and the fragrance of fruits, brought a perfect end to the day. When Mistlin recalled the scenes she had seen that day, she smiled faintly in the quiet garden.

Strange magic took root in the wonderful land, and blossomed into flowers that were different from the previous era civilization and the current civilization. They were exquisite and full of vitality. Where would this unique track lead to? Misterine wanted to witness it with her own eyes.

If you miss the opportunity to visit such a place that deserves to leave a mark in history, you will definitely feel disappointed.

"Well, I'm satisfied today, Miss Xilin, could you please take me home?"

Xilin's absent-minded eyes looked back at the ground. Without any extra response, she snapped her fingers lightly, and the woman wrapped in space magic disappeared. She returned to the shelter without even saying thank you.

At this time, Xilin talked to Ochis about the first exploration of the alien space node that was about to begin.

"Sera told me something. After confirming a certain level of safety, we will conduct manual exploration in batches."

"Master, I understand what you mean. The relevant design drawings have been sent to me. This is the first time I've made a golem like this. I hope I won't disappoint you."

What Ochis was talking about was the golem operator that would be carried in the experimental machine. It would be like a space vehicle exploring an alien planet. After being confirmed to be safe, it would work with the experimental machine to collect information and build base stations, thus establishing a certain level of communication with the home planet.

"It's okay. Sera loves you the most, Ochis. Even if you fail, you can still gain experience for success, right? I'm optimistic about you~"

Xilin learned the skill of encouragement as an elder without any instruction, and Ochis smiled slightly at these words.

235. Error in projection

The smooth surface is engraved with many faint runes, which are connected to each other, like flying clouds or surging waves, creating a pattern that contains mysterious wonders in one go.

This is a type of writing that allows one to see unusual things simply by looking at them. In the hands of magical scholars, it has become famous in the non-mystical world as a means of analyzing and recording the world.

If normal language is used to describe these continuous runes, Sera will give a simple answer.

--steel.

The steel, which has been forged and refined, has been endowed with an affinity for time and space. It is arranged in a template structure on the open space near the observatory, seemingly complementing the towering towers in the starry night, and is filled with an ancient atmosphere that seems to have existed since time immemorial.

"So, the first batch of boats has been built?"

It has been twenty days since the project started, from May 5.18th to June 6.7th. During this period, we had to pause for a while due to the accident with Misterine and Gray Snake, but now, all the efforts have borne clear results, comforting the hearts of every participant.

"Almost. However, it still needs to be assembled and the corresponding golem pilots need to be stationed there."

Sera said this to Xilin who was sighing. The figure holding the Green Sprout Staff looked petite and thin, but in terms of presence, she was more dazzling than everyone around her.

Like a gust of wind, it can blow away the unhappiness in the hearts of everyone who looks at her and bring lasting peace.

Like a stream, it can wash away the pain in the hearts of everyone who looks at it and inject soothing vitality.

The girl is at one with nature, with a tranquil and distant temperament, like an ancient tree that pays attention to everyone. Her blue eyes reveal a majestic kindness.

A philosopher who stands in the world with wisdom and encourages people to move forward with kindness, who is better than a leader but not greedy for external things, may still be young in appearance, but it is undeniable that in everyone's eyes, Sera is already a sage of the forest.

"Please pay attention, everyone."

The Green Bud Staff emitted a bright light, illuminating the starry night near the observatory, so that the brilliance of the dark stars was no longer obscured by the chaotic array of "steel".

"At this moment, the tempered steel becomes one, a vessel that transcends time and space, forging a new future."

The visible and invisible winds became silent, and only the brilliant light interwoven like silk threads turned into flames, connecting the "steel" and "steel" with each other, creating a spectacle like a melting pot.

The holy green flames burned mercilessly, the refined fire element was fierce and upright, and the burning breath carried a strong sense of desolation. Just at this moment, Xilin's eyes lit up and her mind suddenly became active, and her enlightened mind suddenly became high spirits.

"So that's it!"
