Like the flash of a supernova explosion rising from the right shoulder of the breeding humanoid part, the train crew had never seen the scene of the star god taking action personally, but now they saw it in the simulation.
The sight of the planet cracking reminded Ying of the tragic scene when Kong shared with her, when Kanreya fell. However, Lan's stunning arrow took away the fertile shoulder blade, which was actually tens of millions of times the size of a country.
That was an attack with extremely destructive power even on a cosmic scale.
This is not over yet. It is not just the obstruction of reproduction by Lan. The color of the cosmic curtain suddenly turns into a hot golden red.
There was a gleam of destruction in Nanook's eyes. The insect swarms that he glanced at began to spontaneously combust and turned into handfuls of ashes that filled every corner of deep space.
From the right side of the train crew's subjective field of vision, Krippo condensed a giant hammer from the rocks surrounding him like an asteroid belt and smashed it at Taizyuros's elytra.
The speed of swinging the sledgehammer seemed slow, but in fact the distance it covered was also far greater than the speed of light, hammering the ancestor of all insects off the predetermined track. His hand was also forced to twist and turn and be pulled away from the front of the train.
At the same time as the breeding was knocked away, a frosty light appeared above his human body, making the pink and purple heart-shaped flames flicker.
Memory made a move secretly. If Kong had not dealt with Yi Ting so often, he would not even have been able to recognize that the faint stumbling block was caused by Fu Li.
Fanyu was fiercely driven out of the fate selection interface by the four star gods, and his body disappeared among the stars - that was the edge of the box garden.
But as if they were afraid that this B would be resurrected, Lan and Nanook each made another attack at the end of the curtain. The Sky-Surveying Arrow and the power of entropy brushed the edge of the box garden, causing strong fluctuations.
But after all, they are only the original bodies, not the real bodies, and cannot rise to higher dimensions to eliminate reproduction in the physical sense.
He wasn't kidding - he really thought that if they could catch him, Lan and Nanook would continue to beat him on that flaming head.
A grand group fight between star gods, a bullying against breeding, or in other words, an act of protection of the air, ended in the ashes of a swarm of insects.
It was not until this time that Black Tower found a way to escape urgently after her brain waves were suppressed by the Primarch from the code that looked like a pile of shit to her - but it seemed that it was completely useless.
"...Four star gods, no, conclusion: six star gods protected Dr. Kong, and three of them were not in the same historical period as Breeding." Not only Ruan Mei was fascinated, but Luosi Gumu also started to analyze.
"Hurry up and eject it - what are you hesitating about? If anything happens to Sora, this project will be a failure!"
Heita kept talking about projects because she was afraid that Luosi and Ruan Mei would not care about Kong's life or death and would continue the testing.
Heita is not very afraid. She is not even afraid of Kakame, the woman nicknamed the genius killer, but she is really a little afraid that Kong's intelligent mind will be stuck in the simulated universe.
"Ruan Mei, this is the original body you wrote! Your restrictive measures are useless. No, you didn't activate the restrictive measures at all!"
"The natural behavior of the Primarch is most worthy of observation. Although the historical process of the galaxy just simulated certainly does not exist in reality, we can see the relationship between the Star Gods and their attitudes towards mortals - perhaps the compatibility of fate is far higher than we imagined."
Ruan Mei's overly calm voice gradually calmed the Black Tower.
It was a rational anger that kept swirling in Heita's mind.
She knew that Ruan Mei had every reason to do this, and she also knew the purpose of ScrewGum's behavior of piling up codes, but she also thought, more than ever before, that her friends were too selfish.
Thinking of this, she asked Ruan Mei coldly:
"……you do this delibrately?"
"If things really get out of control, I will..."
"Snapped--!"
"..."
"Pull them away, now."
"...Okay." ScrewGum's viewfinder rotated three times in a row, and finally nodded.
……
After being disconnected from the three geniuses in the outside world for a while, Kong did not feel too nervous - he had just watched a big show, and although it made him very nervous, he roughly understood the different degrees of need these star gods had for him, as well as their attitudes towards "outsiders".
Basically, the Star Gods are friendly to individuals who carry the rules of the outside world... well, including Nanook, they can be said to be relatively friendly. After all, they need to improve themselves by understanding things in the outside world.
As for the sudden attack of the breeding species that injured people, Kong had two rough guesses - one was that he himself had excellent breeding resources but never gave birth, which made the breeding species sick of him; the other was that he once led the Ascension Plan, which turned all organic life into almost completely inorganic life.
He had not previously known whether the act of inorganic organisms reproducing by creating new bodies could be considered a form of reproduction... Now that he thought about it, his canning of an entire extremely powerful civilization could be considered a provocation to reproduction.
A guy who only focuses on the soul and spirit and doesn't care about the body cannot meet the needs of reproduction, but is very suitable for intellect and memory.
After figuring it out, Sora turned his gaze to Creeper again and held out his hand: "...Can we do 'that' again?"
The giant stone man showed no obvious emotion at Kong's funny words. He threw another lava-like blessing at him.
But after a snap, Sora and the girls all lost consciousness, and the scene in their eyes changed from the starry sky back to the metal ceiling and think tank of the office.
"...How do you feel? There was a little bug just now and the screws are being repaired urgently. I ejected all of you." Heita put his hands on his hips and watched Kong wake up leisurely with a normal expression.
"It's a serious bug. Breeding can actually hit people in the 'character selection interface'... Fortunately, the other people saw the injustice and came to help..."
Sora was going to ask Heita if he had recorded the exaggerated scene that was just like a blockbuster movie. Even if there were bugs, it would still be very important research data.
But when he turned his eyes, he saw that Ruan Mei, who also had a calm expression, had a slightly red face, as if she had just adjusted her capillaries locally, with signs of self-repair...
"...Uh, do you need my help to add a few more safety locks?" Kong was very smart and roughly understood what happened in the outside world during the time when the connection was cut off.
"Definitely. It would be best if there was an emergency ejection shortcut next to my console."
Heita said unhappily: "You are also wrong, Screw - pay more attention, I want the most conspicuous button!"
257. Unbearable Love
The frequent accidents in simulated universes are not because the level of these geniuses is too low, but because the properties of the star core carrier of Kong are too special...
However, the duration of the accident could have been controlled within a very short period of time. The testers should have been ejected at the moment the breeding team launched the attack. It was Ruan Mei and Luosi Gumu who ignored the safety of the personnel in order to meet the Star God and delayed the extraction operation in the hope of getting away with it.
Kong could fully understand the dangerous behavior of the geniuses and did not blame them, but Heita's reaction was fierce. In order to prevent her colleagues from doing something inhumane and disregarding Kong's safety, she did not hesitate to offend her "best friend" and even scolded Screw Gumm.
Kong had already seen Heita's bad temper, but the fact that she used it to protect herself was truly an epic improvement.
Even if it only pays special attention to certain objects, the current Black Tower may be slowly moving in the direction of Ilyasaras.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Sora."
The blush on her face quickly disappeared due to the body's self-regulation, but there was still a subtle tremor in the ending of Ruan Mei's voice when she spoke.
The blow from the Black Tower just now had knocked her out of her obsession with the Star God. Thinking back now, if her inexplicable enthusiasm had not been interrupted by the Black Tower, she would probably have been lost in the vast power emanating from the Primarch.
As their creator, she was controlled by her creation, which was a fatal mistake - she could be crazy, but if she lost herself, she would become mediocre, a moth chasing the fluorescent light of the star god's power, rather than a genius with greater ambitions.
In this respect, she even had to thank the Black Tower...
"I'm fine, but Ruan Mei, you have to listen to me... don't do the same thing to other people who participated in your experiment."
Sora is as generous as ever.
"...Ms. Ying, Ms. Befa, Ms. Noshiro...please allow me to make it up to you." Ruan Mei acted much more earnestly than before - she didn't know if it was because of Heita's unhappy look.
"…How can this be so embarrassing——"
Even though she said this politely, Noshiro turned her gaze towards Sora and asked him in a private message what she should ask.
Kong signaled that they didn't need to rush for anything. Ruan Mei's slight hesitation proved that she was reflecting on the mistakes she had made. That was enough. If they didn't make any requests now, they could ask her for help if they really had difficulties later.
As Ying and Befa both shook their heads to indicate that it was okay, Ruan Mei understood what the train crew meant. She regarded this as a favor that she would have to repay one day.
The genius was not used to the feeling of owing others, but when the target was Sora and the people around him...it seemed surprisingly not that difficult to accept.
ScrewGum observed the changes in Ruan Mei and Heita the whole time. His mechanical head had long been soaked by condensed water, and he had to take out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face many times.
He has always been the most "normal" among the geniuses, but Kong's arrival changed the "ecological environment" of the club, making Heita and Ruan Mei more "normal", making him unsure whether to be happy or worried.
The outbreak of this conflict was too sudden... In the past, Black Tower was the one who cared the most about the simulated universe data. The reason why Ruan Mei and Luoshi wavered, in addition to Black Tower's sudden attack and injury, was also because she put Kong's priority before the simulated universe - that was her hard work.
You have to know that none of her friends in this crappy club deserves this treatment. Only then did Ruan Mei and Luosi Gumu feel certain that Heita didn't need any hormone regulation at all. She was already overly attracted to Kong.
……
Despite some less-than-harmonious episodes, the experiment continued.
When the cold wind of Beloberg blew in his face, even with Ying's long life span, he was still amazed at the detailed scene of the simulated universe.
"As cold as the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain—"
After expressing her emotion, she killed the large group of afterimages of the Rift Realm that were rushing towards her in an instant with one sword.
Before Kong could see the opponent's size clearly, a deep purple cut split the snowfield in two.
Ying almost broke the audience device, but luckily Kong pulled her back suddenly, otherwise the screw would have to create another temporary exit for them -
The confrontation between the star gods just now seemed to have aroused Ying's fighting spirit, allowing her to regain some of the fighting spirit from five hundred years ago. When the Demon God War ended and the world was divided into seven parts, although her status was not prominent and she was at the bottom, her progress and mentality in seeking power never fell. Being able to witness a glimpse of the power of the concept aggregate that was even above the Seven Gods made her fighting spirit high.
"Kong, if I were to go to war with the Star God, I would definitely be the loser—"
She had the nerve to admit that she couldn't defeat any of the powerful beings that had just appeared, but her eyes still sparkled and the ends of her hair lifted slightly, and the flashes and electricity made her braids look a little fluffier.
"I can't find such a suitable opponent in Teyvat. I thought the Heavenly Justice Maintainer was powerful enough, but the 'wishes' gathered by the Star Gods are even better... I have to thank those three for giving me this opportunity to realize my shortcomings. From now on, I will work hard to catch up, and hope to become a 'god' in this realm one day."
God is also a relative concept. Ying put aside her deeply hidden arrogance, recalled her desire to obtain, and became excited because of it.
The constant ruling has temporarily put aside the constant because it has found a new goal. Its own stagnation cannot bring about the stagnation of the world, it will only be left behind, so it should continue to pursue its desire to become stronger.
Not only her, but also Befa and Noshiro were infected by this atmosphere of eagerness to improve themselves, and went ahead of Sora to intercept the army summoned by the star core.
They do not have as strong individual martial arts as Ying. The ship girls are better at fighting in groups and cooperating with each other. After witnessing Ying's ultimate martial arts, Nouyo realized that in order to keep up with her, she must temporarily put aside her swords, take shortcuts, and give full play to the advantages of her own "ships".
Although Belfa is not a Sakura Empire ship, she can enjoy the skill bonus provided by Noshiro - the two skills "Calm Guidance" and "Emerging Blade" increase the lightning damage, critical strike rate and dodge damage reduction rate by a large amount, and Belfa's smoke bomb skill can further cover her approaching the enemy.
The girls' coordination with each other became more and more exquisite - Sora and Paimon became outsiders and could only stare at them while they performed their battles.
Although one of the purposes of bringing them here for the test was to strengthen their cooperation, this kind of tacit understanding... I don't think it was something that was developed through a temporary battle formation... Could it be that sleeping in the same bed really has some mysterious bonus? Is this some kind of weird rule?
After going through three battle rooms in a row, Kong was unable to snatch a single monster, nor was he able to test the limits of his new abilities, so he had to call a halt to their frenzied behavior.
"Leave some for me, hey, don't kill them all, Ying!"
"If you're not careful, you'll cut too much."
She smiled and shook her head - "Then I'll let you try the knife in the next room."
"Wow! Don't try the knife! Don't try the knife! I don't want to recall the days of brushing fiercely at Nazhi Beach!"
"…What nonsense are you talking about? The next room is the event room, Dr. Kong. The enemy you expect may not appear there."
Heita complained while recording - Kong felt that she was talking too much today. It might be that Ruan Mei stimulated her in the opposite way, making her cherish the opportunity to bicker with herself.
"Logic: Simulated events are pseudo-random. They carry a certain amount of historical inertia. If the Beloberg train crew takes the initiative to participate in a head-on battle, what kind of events will occur will be reflected relatively accurately in the simulated universe."
The rubber duck image of Screw floated to Sora's left hand side and reminded him, "As of now, if you put the three ladies, Ying, Belfast, and Noshiro, on the front battlefield, the conclusion is: your chances of winning will be as high as 99%."
“Isn’t that still 1%?”
"This is a bit of a probabilistic reserve, Dr. Sora, but I suggest finishing the simulation, from beginning to end."
