Twelve Trials from Scratch

The long night finally came to an end. Su Qi let out a long breath, found a place to sit down after a long absence, and began to meditate seriously to recover his spirit.

At the same time, in Antarctica, the secret base named "Between Destiny" by Otto, Otto is also doing his own work for a long time, debugging a special body in the affiliated laboratory.

The place where they are located is like an enlarged operating room. A huge shadowless lamp that can freely rotate the angle and position hangs directly above it. Dozens of probes of different thicknesses and shapes protrude from the surrounding 360 degrees, and all of them are shining with metal cold light. A daunting robotic arm.

And under the shadowless lamp, in the center surrounded by a large number of mechanical arms is a wide rectangular platform like an operating table.Lying on the platform was a body of a fit male with a height of nearly three meters, smooth muscle lines, and a golden ratio, just like an ancient Greek god.

It was silvery white like a titanium alloy, radiating outward from the chest, and its skin was covered with bloody lines like stigmata. Its face was extremely similar to Otto's, but it was magnified in equal proportions like the body.

And not far from the platform, Otto stood on the console connected to the mechanical arm, his ten fingers jumped on the complex interface as quickly as playing a piano, and he was concentrating on operating the mechanical arms to control the various parts of the body. Changing is like debugging a precision machine composed of countless gears.

After a long while, the finger that was about to draw an afterimage finally stopped.

"The adjustment of consciousness compatibility is completed. Next, only the embedded core remains..."

As he spoke, he walked down from the operating table, and before he came to the platform, he looked down at the body that was as majestic and fit as a god, but also full of mystery. , but using this body should be enough for that man to taste the taste of despair."

The godlike body, which combines the Blank Key and the Soul Steel Valkyrie technology that Otto himself researched, is his true highest masterpiece besides the unfinished body.

The Blank Key is an extra-organized God's Key created by the civilization of the previous generation, and it is also the prototype of all Valkyrie armor. Unlike other God's Keys, which have a fixed Herrscher core, it temporarily embeds the Herrscher core to allow users to Temporarily exerting a combat power comparable to that of the Herrscher.However, because this method of using the Herrscher's core is too heavy on the body, it is almost impossible for a single person to use the blank key for more than 5 minutes.

For this reason, Otto tried to transfer his consciousness into the body of soul steel, and then use the body made of soul steel to bear the burden of the blank body to increase the battery life.He succeeded, and then he continued to advance along this line of thought until he created this "god-like body".

The body made of soul steel makes it almost impossible to damage, and only close contact with a big killer like the Honkai fission bomb can cause devastating damage to it; and the core technology of Blank Health makes it only need to embed the corresponding The core of the Herrscher can use the same power as the Herrscher, which can be described as a perfect destruction machine.

And instead of only being able to embed one Herrscher core at a time, using a blank key with the power of a Herrscher, the godlike body can embed a total of fourteen Herrscher cores and use multiple Herrscher abilities at the same time.From this point, we can see how much ambition Otto placed on this artificial body.

However, the godlike body is not without disadvantages, the biggest disadvantage is that it is too expensive - although soul steel is the metal with the best adaptability to Houkai, it also has a limit.In order to perfectly exert the power of Herrscher's core, Blank Key's huge collapse can output power even Soul Steel can't bear it for a long time, let alone parallelize the power of Herrscher's core, and the pressure on the material will increase. rises geometrically.

Therefore, the "god-like body" is actually a consumable, and most of them are made of the top soul steel with the same material as the God's Key. .At full power, it is estimated that it can only last for half an hour.

Fortunately, according to Otto's calculations, half an hour is enough for him to take back the Destiny Headquarters, and there may be a lot of time left.But now the three Herrscher cores owned by Tianming are not here, and he still needs some time to gather the cores.

Fortunately, he planned carefully and made preparations long before Su Qi arrived at the headquarters of Tianming, because this problem was not a problem for him.

"Honorable master, regarding your previous proposal, 23 minutes and 46 seconds ago, the governments of various countries have sent responses one by one. Do you need me to report to you?"

Even Otto needs to concentrate on debugging a weapon that is more sophisticated than a work of art, such as the "Godlike Body", and cannot tolerate the slightest distraction, so he just ordered that he should not disturb himself with anything.

So until now, seeing Otto finish the work, Mimir didn't sound a reminder.

Otto said calmly, "It's enough to just tell me the result."

"Yes, Britain, France, Russia, the United States, and China, all five countries have rejected your transaction proposal on the grounds that they do not want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Mandate of Heaven."

He sneered slightly, "I don't want to interfere with the internal affairs of Destiny? If there is a chance to intervene in Destiny's internal affairs, those people will definitely pounce on them like mad dogs. The reason why they refuse so quickly now is nothing more than insufficient interests. Compared with me, they want to be with me more. Let's work together on the other side."

Mimir didn't respond.It is an artificial intelligence, and its personality is set so that it will not actively provide any suggestions to its master unless it is necessary.

Otto didn't need a response from it either.Just like Su Qi saw that the governments of the five countries with many constraints were unreliable, he never pinned his hopes on them, and the deal he proposed was just to make money if he agreed, and it didn't matter if he didn't agree. Of.

"What about the movements of the branches of Destiny?"

"According to your instructions, the fleets of the various branches of Destiny have already set off, and the special teams escorting the three Herrscher cores, the Gem of Tranquility, the Gem of Desire, and the Gem of Plague, have also left the various experiments and secretly boarded the fleets of nearby branches to catch up with them. Head to the scheduled meeting point."

"Very well, it's time for me to set off and let this farce end as soon as possible."

After Otto said, with a thought, the tall and fit body hiding on the platform slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of indifferent golden pupils.

……

A few hours later, Su Qi, who was in meditation, slowly opened his eyes at the headquarters of Destiny.

"I, Su, have been resurrected again!"

He jumped up suddenly, and while posing a Bruce Lee pose and punching a few jabs, he screamed "Ah, ah, ah, ah," and then wiped his nose, finally ending his lively self-acting.

"Then it's still early. The Hyperion and Anti-Entropy's people probably haven't arrived yet, and Otto's people shouldn't have attacked so early. What are we going to do next?"

Whether it was physical or mental, Su Qi's recovery speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. After only a few hours of meditation, he returned to his peak state, so he had some extra free time before the battle.

"By the way, I also promised Lao Wang to investigate his daughter."

As soon as he thought of it, he went out immediately, and while preparing to go to the nursing home where Lao Wang's daughter was, he turned on his personal terminal and called Ai-chan.

"Hey thump thump, the new No. [-] idol of Destiny, Ai-chan, makes his debut!!"

Accompanied by exaggerated sound effects and sound effects, a young girl with a cabbage head in a gorgeous floor-length skirt and bewitching heavy makeup, but because of her flat body and tender face looks extremely funny is projected from the personal terminal.

"Dear Lord Su Qi, may I help you?"

The idol Aijiang lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed her body, her coy look and her red eye makeup and lip makeup made Su Qi almost laugh out loud on the spot.

However, considering that there are still things for others to do at this moment, they can only hold back forcibly, and said with a smile in their eyes: "Ai-chan, your dress is quite unique today."

A young girl with a cabbage head broke her skills immediately, straightened her body, put one hand on her hips, covered her lips with the other, and let out a standard three-part smile of an unpopular female villain, "Oh hehehe, do you think so? I love soy sauce for so many years, I have always I have worked hard on the Hyperion, and this time I finally succeeded in taking the position!"

"Congratulations... By the way, I have something to ask you this time, can you do me a favor?"

"No problem." Ai-chan puffed out her non-existent chest, and said proudly: "Ai-chan who has become the number one idol of Destiny is invincible, come on, tell your wish."

"Help me look up a girl's file. She should be in a sanitarium on the floating island at No. D6 of the Destiny Headquarters. Her name is Wang Yulan, her age..."

Su Qi told Ai Jiang Tingxuan all the information he had heard from Wang Qinian, waved his little hand domineeringly, and said confidently: "It's a piece of cake, just leave it to Ai Jiang."

Although the main server of Destiny is also destroyed with the annihilation of the main floating island, because Otto has already considered this day, there are backup servers on other islands, and most of the data are backed up.So it's not like there is nowhere to search for Ai Jiang, and he quickly found what he wanted in the backup server through the keywords provided by Su Qi.

"Sure enough, I knew Otto wasn't that kind."

After a while, looking at the confidential files found by Ai Jiang, Su Qi sighed softly, feeling a little sad for Wang Qinian.

……

A few more hours later, in the early morning, the Hyperion, which had been on the road overnight, arrived at the Tianming headquarters airport first.

"Brother Su Qi, and the head of the school, you really made big news."

When the two sides met, Ji Zi looked at Su Qi, who was full of energy, and then at Teresa, who looked tired.

Teresa also sighed softly, "Oh, I don't even know myself. I was the head of the Far East branch yesterday, so why am I going to be the archbishop today? So when that guy said, 'Comrade Teresa, the organization It has been researched and decided that you will be the next Archbishop of the Mandate of Heaven', but I refused.

"I really want to ask Gao Ming, I'm really not humble, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to be the archbishop of destiny, but that guy said that he wants to change the destiny, this is the best chance... I thought about it, but I still insisted My scalp is on, but... I'm really tired! Ji Zi, you must come and help me!"

Ji Zi smiled slightly, "Of course, haven't I been helping you all the time?"

Su Qi said at this time: "Ji Zi, the next thing is to be an enemy of the previous Archbishop of Destiny, you should have already made up your mind, right?"

"Brother Su Qi, who do you think you are talking to?"

With one hand on his hip, Ji Zi's eyes were blazing, and he smiled wantonly and said, "I am a member of the Valkyrie Stormtrooper, and I never lack the courage to swing my sword at any enemy, as long as it is the enemy!"

Su Qi smiled and stretched out his hand, "Then you are welcome to join the new destiny, comrade-in-arms."

As soon as Ji Zi grasped his hand, they looked at each other and said with a light smile, "Oh, then let's have a big fight!"

……

Soon after, Teresa took Jizi, Yuzuki and the others to transfer Ai-chan's mainframe to the headquarters to study the defense deployment and discuss how to fight the next battle.

But Su Qi stayed behind, and at a glance, he found Wang Qinian who was in the team behind Ji Zi who had taken the initiative to come to the Destiny Headquarters with the Huberian.

"Long time no see, Old Wang."

The latter obviously also saw him, and took the initiative to walk towards this side quickly, Su Qi was the first to raise his hand to say hello.

"It's only been a few days, how come it's been a long time?"

While complaining, Lao Wang left the team and stood still in front of Su Qi.

"If you don't see it, can you do it in three autumns?"

He snorted, "It's so disgusting, you should talk to those little girls about it. But I didn't expect you to make such a big deal in just a few days, you really are not a safe person."

"Hehe, I've said it a long time ago. I, Su, have a dream, and that is to become the Archbishop of Destiny... the man behind it."

"As expected of you, are you ready to eat soft rice?"

"What do you mean by eating soft food? This huge country was brought down by me, okay?"

Old Wang waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I won't mess with you anymore."

His face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "How is it? Did you find anything about the matter I commissioned you to investigate?"

"Of course, although the time is short, how could my detective Su come out empty-handed?"

Lao Wang couldn't wait to say: "Then what's the result? How is my daughter's situation?"

Su Qi restrained his unscrupulous demeanor, fell silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "Unfortunately, according to the results of our investigation, your daughter died a long time ago, but she is still alive."

Chapter 59 Pharaoh's Choice

"He died long ago!?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Wang Qinian's heart suddenly sank, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Then what's the matter with being alive? Is my daughter dead or alive?"

"Five years ago, your daughter Wang Yulan died in an experiment related to the Plague Gem."

"Impossible! I have been talking to my daughter every month for the past five years!"

"That's a clone that Otto instilled with memory and then mentally hypnotized."

Clone! ?

His body trembled, and memory fragments flashed subconsciously in his mind.

Even if memory and hypnosis are instilled, the clone is not the real person after all, and it is difficult to completely restore the details.And he still vaguely remembered that about five years ago, he really felt that his daughter seemed a little strange, but he had no idea about cloning and mental interference. After changing the answer, we can pursue more.

"No...how is it possible..."

Although he had been mentally prepared after hearing Zhang Qian's words, Wang Qinian still couldn't help being heartbroken and couldn't believe it after knowing that his daughter had died.

"You're lying to me, aren't you?"

He suddenly grabbed Su Qi's shoulder and stared at the latter's face. There was only a glimmer of light in his eyes covered by haze and despair, "Su Qi, you must be joking with me, right?"

Staring at the other person's eyes condensed with too much emotion, Su Qi was silent for a few seconds, took out a stack of files that had been prepared from his personal space, and sighed: "Unfortunately, even I would not joke about this kind of thing. "

The last gleam in Wang Qinian's eyes went out.

He stood stiffly like a weathered and decaying statue for a few seconds, and slowly loosened his hands holding Su Qi. At the same time, his arms fell weakly, as if they were so heavy that they bent his spine together, and his whole body seemed to collapse suddenly. cut.

"Hehe... I knew it... I knew it... that bastard Otto couldn't be so kind... And I was stupid enough to believe him..."

His hands trembled, and a self-deprecating laugh came out of Wang Qinian's mouth. It was dry and hoarse, and his tone was full of disillusionment and hatred.
