Time in a collapsing world

"This is... the spaceship of [Project Ark]?"

Kosmo looked up, and a huge spaceship came into view. Next to him was Velvet, who was holding a tablet. He looked up at the spacecraft for a while, and then looked down at the design on the tablet.

"Yes, that's right. Get familiar with it. This may be your future residence."

Velvet said, receiving no response from Kosmo and not caring. Even now, the young man is still so taciturn.

"...Can I choose someone else?"

"..."

Velvet raised her head and looked at Kosmo who became silent again. After a moment of silence, she replied: "Although you are the most suitable candidate,... you can."

Didn't ask why.

Even changes in plans may bring more uncertainty to the future.

"……Thanks."

Flying into space on this spaceship means that he has to stay away from the battlefield with [Endgame], and Kosmo does not want this.

Kosmo stayed for a while and then left, with a paralyzed expression hidden in his thoughts.

Only then did Velvet show a distressed expression, and scratched her head with the touch screen pen.

Since Kosmo is unwilling to be the executor of this plan, are there any other candidates...

……

"What's up?"

In his own [space], Li raised his eyes and looked at Velvet, an uninvited guest. She shouted Li's name outside early in the morning, attracting strange looks from other people in the Fire Chasing Moth.

Not wanting to make things worse, Li had no choice but to pull him in.

"You can't say this just to reminisce about old times?"

Velvet smiled as if she didn't regard herself as an outsider.

"Your work is very tight now, and I've been watching you, so you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

"Ahem... Actually, the [Ark Project] may be shelved."

"It's none of my business, right?"

"It really has nothing to do with you...but I want to ask you to help us."

Velvet said shamelessly, "Since you can create that so-called [world], then I wonder if there is a chance to create a larger scale..."

"..."

Li finally understood. This guy wanted to use himself as a labor force to recreate a habitat like the [World] for human civilization.

"You should know how long it took me to create that [world], right?"

"Uh...a few months."

"Then what is the countdown to the arrival of [Endgame] now?"

"Four months..."

"So you understand? Let's not talk about whether I want to create another [world]. This little time is not enough for me to start work."

"Isn't this because I think you've become more powerful again, young man~"

Velvet said with a shy face, "By the way, can your [world] be expanded? If it can..."

"No need to discuss."

Li refused without hesitation, saying that his original intention of creating [the world] was not for human civilization.

"Sigh... Okay, it seems we still have to continue with the [Ark Project]..."

Velvet shook her head and was about to leave, but Li twitched her eyebrows to call her back: "Didn't Kosmo give up? Do you have other candidates?"

"Even if you don't have one, you have to find one. Boy, you don't really think that such a big plan will be given up so easily, do you? The spaceship is already built."

Velvet stopped and said with a hint of conspiracy in her tone, "I originally thought that with your help, young man, I could completely replace the [Ark Project], but young man, you don't agree, so I have no choice but to continue executing this plan~"

"...Then do you have any candidates in mind? For [Ark Project]." Li asked.

"If we are preparing candidates...actually Xi can do it. Didn't she just gain a power a while ago..."

"...I agree to your request."

Li sighed and said, as expected, after too many butterfly effects, there will be more chaos.

"Oh! That's great, boy, I knew you wouldn't be so heartless!" Velvet cheered immediately.

"Don't be in a hurry to open the champagne. As I said before, the countdown is only four months. In such a short time, it is very likely that [the end] will come before I can finish it."

"It's okay. Anyway, young man, you agreed. Then I can leave the worries to you in the future. If it doesn't work, just continue to start the [Ark Project]..."

"..."

Li inexplicably wanted to strangle the mean guy in front of him to death.

However, the new [World]... It may be too late to create it now, but don't forget that the original [World] was expanded by Li digging a piece of [Space] on the earth.

In other words, in order to shorten the construction period, Lida can dig out a larger [space] on the earth as the foundation of the [New World].

It's just the maximum [space] volume he can convert now... Let's give it a try.

Li didn't have much confidence. After all, if he really wanted to create a [world] that was sufficient for the development of human civilization, he might not be able to complete it even after hundreds or tens of thousands of years.

……

The countdown passed quietly, and for some unknown reason, there were now almost no Honkai Beasts near the Fire Chasing Moth base.

This is great news for the refugees near the base, but despite this, there are not many people left in the three original cities. Under the continuous attacks by the Honkai Beasts a while ago, they are now It is difficult for the number of people to fill a city.

The surviving people were grateful for this, but little did they know that just three months later, an overwhelming catastrophe would engulf them all at once.

Within the base.

Mei looked up at a girl in the training cabin in front of her. She was naked, soaked in an unknown green liquid, curled up, and facing Mei's direction.

It can be seen that there are strange, slightly glowing red runes printed on the girl's back.

This is the culmination of many studies, and Mei has great hopes for it, hoping that it will be as effective as it should be in the next era.

There are hundreds of such girls, and there are also men, but there are no such weird runes on the backs of men.

Because according to Mei's research, men are more repulsive to this kind of rune than women.

Zhi————!

The automatic door behind her opened, and Mei's assistant walked in. She first glanced at the girl in the training cabin, and then said to Mei: "Doctor, the Void Manzo can be put into use again."

"it is good."

Mei thought for a while, "Place it in the research area temporarily and don't move it."

The Void Manzo is also an important part of the plan. Mei no longer intends to use it as a weapon for warriors, but as a library carrying the knowledge of this civilization, passing it on to the next era, and then helping future generations of humans grow. .
