Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

"I always feel like something is strange..."

Bronya looked at the light novel in her hand and then looked up at the people in the room.

To make sure she hadn't misread it, she flipped through the book again carefully.

She had bought this book at a bookstore in the Far East because she was curious about Noldrei and Kiana's special forms. It seemed to be called something like Nyaruko: Crawling with Love.

"A silver-haired alien evil god girl, a red-haired twin-tailed Cthugha, although I'm not a trap, I do have a cold mother... Crap, are we the evil gods?"

She probably didn't know that the power of the Herrscher of Reason could theoretically turn her body into a trap.

Bronya didn't know if she should accuse Noldrei of plagiarism. After all, it seemed to have a similar meaning.

But as a "future person" or an "evil god," Noldrei's behavior was too qualified. Many of the things he did seemed completely abnormal to normal people.

Bronya was currently working for Rita, a Valkyrie from Schicksal. Anyway, they were all looking for a way to the Sea of Quanta. It didn't matter who she worked for.

As a mature double agent girl, she was best at flexible stances.

"Sister Mei, what do you think Noldrei is going to do with Mama Cocolia and your father? I always feel like we don't know anything."

Bronya was asking Raiden Mei about Raiden Ryoma's movements.

Looking at Raiden Ryoma's situation, with his current guilt towards Mei, he would probably agree to whatever his daughter said.

But Raiden Mei didn't have those worldly desires. She just wanted a peaceful daily life.

"I don't know either, and I haven't asked him. Who knows what they're doing now? How about we go out shopping together? Now that the city construction is on the right track, it seems that some locals have returned."

Bronya looked at Kiana, who was bored and rolling around, and nodded.

She was worried that the white-haired dumpling would be stifled if she stayed here any longer.

The three of them agreed and prepared to go out shopping.

At this time, Noldrei was leading Tesla, Cocolia, and Raiden Ryoma to start his big construction project.

They were currently in the Honkai energy laboratory that Cocolia had built under the Far East.

"Cocolia, you really did secretly build a laboratory here. You wanted to create an artificial Honkai to bring out the Third Herrscher, but you never expected to encounter such an accident, did you?"

Tesla sneered. She only had the word "serves you right" to say about Cocolia's current unlucky situation.

But Cocolia didn't think it was so bad, because...

Noldrei was an even more radical person than her in action. Such an existence would perfectly support what she wanted to do. Why did she have to be hostile to Noldrei? Just because she had turned into a pony?

Cocolia, who didn't care about her own misfortune, retorted, "That's right. After all, not everyone is like you, always liking to do things that get them whipped by tentacles. I have reason to suspect that you're doing it on purpose."

"Who are you saying is doing it on purpose!"

Tesla immediately became anxious. She tried to use her loud voice to cover up her embarrassment.

"Whoever is so loud is doing it on purpose."

Noldrei ignored the two of them arguing. He was used to this kind of boring verbal sparring from Anti-Entropy. No matter what he did, these two would always fight for superiority.

He was more concerned about another matter now.

"Ryoma, why did you plan to implant the Herrscher core into your daughter back then?"

Raiden Ryoma looked at the surrounding equipment with a complicated expression and sighed, "I was also blinded by greed at the time. I thought that maybe my daughter would have a chance? She lost her mother when she was very young and was also kidnapped by a terrorist group..."

"Later, out of selfishness, I defaulted to accepting Cocolia's conditions. But her plan was too radical. By the time I wanted to object, I had already been... imprisoned."

"There's nothing else to say. Luckily, nothing irreversible happened."

Noldrei also knew about the information related to the Honkai outbreak. It was probably like a big bomb that could destroy a city with one blast.

This level wasn't enough to make Noldrei feel afraid. There were too many crises in the future that were much stronger than this small explosion.

What he was curious about was that such a magical life form like a Herrscher could be created under this level of explosion.

Honkai energy wasn't entirely made up of molecules and DNA. It could ignore the laws of physics and directly allow a person's consciousness to be structured on a non-material basis.

It had a feeling of materializing human consciousness into a "soul."

Noldrei could only comfort him, "You did the right thing. Raiden Mei's understanding of lightning is not qualified to become the Herrscher of Thunder yet. Humans have always faced such choices. Those who are qualified don't have the ability, and those who have the ability aren't qualified. I understand your pain."

Raiden Ryoma's eyebrows twitched. He felt that what Noldrei was saying didn't seem to be what he meant.

"According to your research results on the Honkai, in order to become the Herrscher of Thunder, in addition to sufficient Honkai energy adaptability, you also need the assistance of things like so-called natural Stigmata. You also know their essence. They're just databases that record genetic data. As long as I want, you can have as many Stigmata as you want. There's no need to go through the troublesome process of finding out if someone is 'qualified.'"

"So, next, I plan to use the replication of Honkai energy and Honkai antibodies to allow most young people to enter the second stage of selection. In this way, the number of people who awaken Stigmata will increase exponentially."

"When that time comes, it will be time to start the next plan."

The Honkai was indeed a good thing. Noldrei wanted to get more benefits from it.

Only after humans entered the gene era would their strongest creativity truly explode.

"The next plan?"

Raiden Ryoma thought that every plan of Noldrei's was quite crazy.

"Yes. When that time comes, 'Stigmata' will become a qualified carrier of gene currency. Only then will the humans of this era be qualified to discuss the future development direction with me."

Tesla couldn't care about arguing with Cocolia when she heard this.

She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is that kind of gene currency really possible? Will it bring any danger?"

Noldrei looked at the red-haired girl with twin tails. He could see the emotion of nervousness on her face.

"Humans are always accompanied by danger. Any attempt to rely on self-sacrifice to allow other humans to escape danger will be returned to the descendants of those people someday in the future. The third eye I gave you isn't for you to show a weak and naive mentality."

Future people didn't have that illusion called peace and warmth.

A mere eighty-year-old organic life was just a cannon fodder of the subsidiary creatures created by humans in the future, ten thousand years later.

Pro-natalism had a cruel logic in the future: the losers never admit defeat, the winners never have to win, the struggle never ends, until the universe is destroyed.

Because new life would always be constantly produced by humans.
