Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Liu Bai withdrew his gaze from the group of older, beautiful girls and ladies, and began to get down to business.

"You should know Edison, right?"

"Ah."

Edison sat down opposite Liu Bai with a graceful and generous demeanor.

"But I didn't expect it to be on the agenda today."

"Because there wasn't much of an agenda to begin with."

Liu Bai opened the file and handed it to someone else who seemed not to have seen it.

"...This is incredible, something like this actually happened in the Sea of ​​Quanta." Tesla was shocked and instinctively reached to take off his clothes.

Fortunately, Planck, as Tesla's teacher, noticed Tesla's action and pinched him.

(This kid definitely thinks this is his own room, right?)

However, it's understandable; once they get engrossed in something, they tend to ignore their surroundings.

Plus, this is the first time I've ever seriously worked in bed...

"Huh?" Tesla was completely oblivious and continued unbuttoning his shirt.

(Should I look at it now or not?) Liu Bai was slightly conflicted.

Her underwear under the maid outfit is already showing.

The location was also a dangerous one, albeit in a perfectly good way.

...Although he lacked ambition.

"Even Joyce couldn't beat him..."

"Tesla, are you hot?"

Edison also noticed the two's subtle actions, and as their arch-rival, she immediately realized that Tesla was making a foolish move.

At any other time, Edison would definitely have ridiculed them mercilessly, but this time they came to be maids not necessarily to actually sell themselves, but definitely to win Liu Bai's favor.

So Edison had to suppress his impulse and speak up to remind him.

Well, there's no need to worry about it anymore—Liu Bai had obviously also noticed Tesla's situation.

(What an embarrassing thing...)

"Huh? It's not hot, but... wait... wait...!"

Realizing what he was doing, Tesla hurriedly put his hand down from unbuttoning the buttons, even forgetting to button them back up.

“Joyce didn’t win either. It seems the enemy’s strength is indeed extraordinary.” Leanna calmly steered the conversation back on track. “The Whale that Devours Stars… seems like a formidable foe.”

"Ah... umm, but the good news is that at least we didn't lose."

Tesla nodded repeatedly.

"Oh, right, can the other party be considered a Honkai Beast?"

"I'm sorry, but from the appearance and description, the other party doesn't seem to be a Honkai Beast at all. They are more like the Starry Sky Beast that I am more familiar with."

Ester shook her head.

"If it really is a similar species, then we really need to be extremely careful."

“A cosmic behemoth…” Edison knew from the name that it was going to be difficult to deal with, “but as I said before, the good news is that we didn’t lose.”

Currently, they are completely within a range where they can win... provided, of course, that their battle plan succeeds.

"However, on the other hand, this battle was completely inevitable." Einstein played with his hair. "If we leave it unattended, Dr. Einstein thinks something very bad will happen."

"...So you mean the limited-time boss, right?"

Liu Bai also understood this principle.

The star-devouring whale will eventually turn its attention to the planet.

If they don't find a way to get rid of that thing, they might not even need the star core, and then they'll have to call GG.

Even if the Yellow Springs can resolve the issue, leaving behind a broken planet would be utterly useless.

"Hmm... Leanna, we came up with some preliminary battle strategies yesterday. Could you please give us some suggestions?"

Liu Bai relayed to Lei Anna what they had discussed the day before.

After listening, Leanna showed a thoughtful expression.

"It is indeed a feasible plan... but it is still too dangerous."

"Is there a better way to deal with this now?"

That home ground... it seems that only the brave will prevail in a close contest.

...Wait, what, a chance encounter?

Liu Bai suddenly fell into deep thought.

"It seems you've realized that."

"Reanna spoke up."

"We don't actually need to set up the battlefield in such an extremely unfavorable terrain as the Sea of ​​Quanta."

Fighting in the Sea of ​​Quanta is a daunting task, with little to no support and communication options available.

"Let's change the terrain..."

Liu Bai continued to ponder.

"The Star-Devouring Whale... Estella, the Starry Sky Beast..."

"...pursuit of energy."

Estella also realized something at this moment.

"Although we don't know how this creature is able to forage in the Sea of ​​Quanta, there is no doubt that its goal is nothing more than to absorb energy."

The ultimate goal of any foraging is this.

"So, we can actually lure the snake out of its hole."

Estella had no experience hunting giant beasts, which led her astray yesterday—as did everyone else, of course.

"World Bubble... This doesn't sound like something that can be easily devoured."

“That’s right, the Devouring Whale’s digestion process also takes time, but no one knows how long it will take—though Agoria may have observed it.” Edison nodded.

But now there is absolutely no time to observe the other party's devouring.

"The target chosen by the Star-Devouring Whale must have been observed, right?"

Liu Bai remembered that the battle report mentioned that they had failed to stop the Star-Devouring Whale from devouring the World Bubble.

In other words, we should be able to see the act of devouring.

"It's a nascent, small bubble world, with a total area of ​​no more than three hundred square kilometers," Edison answered fluently.

Countless such quantum bubbles are born and burst every day in the quantum ocean of world bubbles; they are worthless world bubbles.

"So if we can create pure energy that exceeds the size of a small world bubble, we have the potential to use it as bait, right?"

"Fish bait...?"

Chapter 356 No way!

"If all you need is energy as bait..."

Liu Bai stroked his chin, thinking of a ruthless plan.

“Our Moon Throne of Anti-Entropy is capable of this task.” Edison thought Liu Bai was struggling to choose a bait, so he decisively volunteered.

"OK?"

Liu Bai was slightly puzzled.

The Moon Throne is more for show than practical use in the early to mid-game of the main storyline.

This thing requires multiple Herrscher cores to activate, so the barrier to entry is disproportionate to its effectiveness.

If this thing doesn't have a core component, its strong visual deterrent effect is probably just that, right?

"...Why isn't that enough?"

Edison looked at Liu Bai with considerable confusion.

"Hey Liu Bai, do you know whose house has the most brutal Honkai energy reactor in the world?"

"...?"

This question left Liu Bai even more confused.

"Destiny?"

"Wrong, it's reverse entropy."

Edison shook his head.

"The reactor of the Moon Throne can go berserk and its power can even surge to tens of thousands of watts in a short period of time."

"...Although if that thing goes berserk, it could easily trigger a massive collapse that almost no one can stop," Einstein quipped. He was only looking at the intimidating theoretical peak; after all, the Moon Throne was created to purify planetary-level collapses, and who would want to let that thing go berserk for no reason? Even if it did explode, with various external influences and safety measures in place, it would probably be slightly stronger than the first collapse in Berlin—though that was still quite powerful.

Liu Bai's current thought is—when did the Moon Throne get such an awesome reactor?

After a moment of surprise, Liu Bai realized what was happening.

This should be a byproduct of the survival of all members of the anti-entropy team.

In the visual novel *Anti-Entropy*, the Moon Throne has a matching reactor—and this reactor is what caused Anti-Entropy to be crippled on the spot.

That thing is different from a normal reactor.

Its purpose is to absorb and convert Honkai energy in a very proper way, which is why it can reach such an outrageous value of tens of millions—this is also the Moon Throne's job.

...But then again, Mei isn't fully developed yet, so where would she get the Moon Throne?! Don't steal the show!

Getting back to the main point, the reason the reactor went berserk in the story is quite simple: Otto coerced Walter's father—the translator of data and text—to change the data, which caused the unexpected berserk mode to go berserk during the first test.

Edison died on the spot while trying to withstand this, and Walter's father was stabbed to death by Otto, who had taken over Leona's body, during his confession—he was almost killed before the anti-entropy was even established.

The subsequent establishment of Anti-Entropy clearly lacked confidence, and the Moon Throne Project was likely halted because there were no translators and neither Einstein nor Tesla were directly involved in the project.

On another note, Yi also said that Ling came back to Qi, and the visual novel of Anti-Entropy? The pit dug is actually quite big.

a

It discusses the pre-civilization period and even describes in considerable detail the tragic state of the Moths of Fire and the victims when the Corruptor was born.

Edison even pulled out an "interferometer" that involved "eleven dimensions," whose power did not belong to the realm of collapse, and which transcended planets.

In the past, Liu Bai would have just thought this was something he was writing in a whim, but now, it's somewhat terrifying to think about—of course, it's also possible that it's already been written away.

...Liu Bai admired himself for being able to think of so many things so quickly.

"...Then why use it as bait?"

"Because there are still some technical problems..." Edison sighed.

"It has existed for fifty or sixty years?"

"Not entirely. It's mainly because Otto's side is more prone to causing trouble, so we can't focus on our research wholeheartedly... Well, we have to admit we do have some problems."

"For example?"

"For example, we are not actually pure Honkai professionals. Many of the real Honkai researchers died before we were even established."

Edison's tone remained firm.

Their breakdown is entirely due to the unavoidable circumstances that force us to study them.

Just as Estádio claims to study stars, it's impossible for her not to understand destiny; such is the nature of the environment.

Liu Bai nodded to indicate that he understood. Ultimately, the independence of anti-entropy was an evolution of force, and this situation was considered normal.

Anyway, Liu Bai felt that the situation was already very good. The research team in the original work, under the influence of the explosion and Otto's scheme, ended up living like Schrödinger and even fell into the world bubble.

"In short, that's how it is. We can solve the mechanical aspects, but the reactor aspect has been difficult to work on for years, and it's even falling behind the times in some aspects. Our relics... never mind..."
