Chapter 50

And.

Both sides have similar fates.

The androids who have been following Su Han finally understand why Firefly has such a strange attitude toward them.

Because looking at them is like looking at her past self.

And those dead comrades.

After this.

On the spaceship *Pangu*.

Main text.

These female YoRHa units are all on this ship, and they are all staying very close to Su Han.

They are even constantly trying to curry favor with him.

This leaves Firefly dumbfounded.

Why did it turn out like this?

Su Han offers an explanation.

"It must be that during the connection process, your emotions were infecting them, and as a result, your feelings for me—that fervent devotion—were also received by them, which is why it turned into this."

Firefly: ???

Huh?

Especially after seeing several female androids sticking to him, Firefly bristles with anger on the spot!

You are just androids, get your positioning straight!!!

Mine, Lord Su Han is mine!

Let go of his legs! And get your waists away from Lord Su Han!

No rubbing allowed!

With the arrival of peace on that planet, these YoRHa units learned of their fate as abandoned pawns, and after seeing Firefly's story, they wished to follow Su Han and Firefly.

After all, since they want to step into a new self and a new life.

Then heading into the universe is undoubtedly the best choice.

The interior of the Pendragon is vast; it has its own world within.

Accommodating these units is no problem.

As for the male scanner-type androids, they had already died off previously.

They are gone.

As for the high-ranking officials of the human military who originally formulated this sacrifice plan, they were also rooted out and liquidated; don't look at the Bunker, that orbital satellite base, which has a commander.

In reality, that is not the highest authority.

The Bunker is Base No. 13.

It's not as if there weren't androids and units before.

Naturally, there existed some older androids who had hidden themselves.

They disguised themselves as the human military and hid behind the scenes to issue orders.

And now, that planet had no humans to begin with; only machine lifeforms and androids remained. In time, it might develop into a planet of machine intelligence.

After Adam and the others make contact with the galaxy, they will truly understand what kind of a big shot that Mr. Su Han from back then really was.

Only after the clouds part to reveal the sun.

Can one truly comprehend what it means for two mayflies to see the blue sky.

After all, machine lifeforms are plentiful in the galaxy, even holding up half the sky; if they were thrown in, they would just be ordinary members.

However, on the Pendragon's display screen.

A warning sound suddenly rang out.

The female YoRHa units looked over upon hearing the sound and were all startled; some of the 02 models screamed in terror.

"This, oh my god."

"It's the terrifying Swarm!"

Just ahead in space, a dense, black mass of the Swarm was flying toward them.

As they had just seen those images, how could they not recognize these things? So everyone anxiously cried out.

"Lord Su Han, Her Majesty the Empress, what should we do?"

Firefly: ?

She is speechless and expressionlessly raises her middle finger.

"Change how you address me, I am not an Empress."

But in reality, she does possess the ability to integrate and connect these YoRHa units.

Telepathy.

Even direct domination.

Even without wearing Sam.

Su Han, however, remains calm in his tone.

"It is precisely because I noticed these things that I brought you to this planet ahead of time. Otherwise, a little later, what you and I would have seen would be no different from those insect-plagued worlds in the galaxy."

"Even the Astral Express wouldn't be able to stop them, only retreat and try to seek reinforcements."

After all, the strongest thing Himeko has is just that orbital cannon.

This kind of weapon, you can't say it's weak, but it's not that strong either.

There was an enemy before who took Himeko's orbital cannon head-on and remained completely unscathed.

And there was no Mother Insect in the images, because it's right here.

And it's still alive.

"However, these are just insignificant little disasters; they can't stir up much trouble and are easy to solve."

Everyone's faces twitch.

Ah, this.

A terrifying enemy capable of ravaging a planet is actually considered nothing?

As expected of you!

"Peadanium Ray Cannon, fire!"

As the ship's main cannon began to charge, a terrifying beam of light far exceeding the original version roared through the distance, and with a single sweep, a massive explosion and firelight instantly lit up in the universe.

Even the incredibly massive Zerg were blown to pieces.

Becoming a row of fireworks.

Leaving everyone with their mouths agape.

Oh my god.

Is this firepower too fierce?

One shot, and it saved the world?

After this.

The Astral Express traveled through other worlds again and returned to the Herta Space Station.

The famous Herta appeared before Himeko by controlling a puppet.

And looked at this Curio she had brought back.

"Oh? Isn't this that guy Hikari's [Beating Whip]? You actually managed to find it back, interesting."

"Although this thing looks like a whip, in reality, it acts like a meme contagion, making people around it beat anyone they see; if they see you, they'll give you a punch."

"It once caused many deaths in a certain department of the IPC; who told those idiots to covet someone else's invention? They really thought that guy just threw it away randomly? Because of greed, they deserved to die."

Herta crosses her arms and sneers disdainfully.

However, because of the petite puppet, this expression looks more cute than anything else.

And Himeko also has lingering fears.

"This, I still hope Herta can seal it up; at the time, little March even wanted to give me a punch."

"It made me think she was taking the opportunity to settle a private grudge."

March 7th is speechless.

"No, Himeko! You are smearing me!"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Herta remains in that arrogant posture.

"Fine, I'm also a bit interested; in fact, this is an unknown anomaly that occurred on a certain planet. It was Hikari who saved that world, gathered all the bizarre power into this, and sealed it in an unknown place."

"It's thanks to the IPC that they could find it."

"They fantasized that it was like other Curios, having positive effects, thereby bringing themselves huge benefits, pfft."

Afterward, Hikari couldn't be bothered to care; perhaps he had long forgotten about this thing.

So this Curio has been drifting in the universe ever since.

After getting this.

Herta turns around, wanting to leave; she gave Himeko special containment technology, otherwise, after bringing this thing to the Herta Space Station, it wouldn't be long before everyone started killing each other.

However, March 7th and Himeko did exchange some words about the previous Nier: Automata world incident because of this.

Which made Herta come back.

"Oh? You met Hikari?"

"Tell me about it; one of my projects needs more than one genius, but this guy doesn't even pay attention, just like that Ruan Mei; Ruan Mei has thrown my contact letters into the trash can several times."

Hikari just reads and doesn't reply.

What kind of ghosts are these geniuses.

Herta knows it well.

However, on this matter, she is patient.

And Himeko also sighs.

She considers herself quite fated with the people of the Genius Society.

Herta, Emanator of Erudition.

Su Han, Emanator of Erudition.

She has encountered both.

And March 7th also curiously asked.

"Herta, you just said Mr. Su Han didn't throw it away randomly, what do you mean?"

Herta, while studying the Curio, is distracted and casually replies.

"Because that guy applied a technology to many items, perhaps a causality-type weapon; no matter what kind of chaos it causes, justice always outweighs evil, meaning he never loses, he will always profit."

"Crazy, that guy is really idle enough."

"I think that saying is quite good: shoot Hikari, and there would be a lot less trouble in the universe."

March 7th: ???

Why don't I understand.

Can you be more specific? Unfortunately, Herta can't be bothered to care anymore.

Himeko, however, ponders.

"It seems Mr. Su Han has always been very kind."

As a result, Herta acts as if she heard some massive joke.

"Have you been with the pink-haired shorty too much and been infected by her?"

March 7th is stunned.

She looks around, ah, there is no one else here.

"Don't look, I'm talking about you."

"But where am I short!"

"Anyway, that guy used to be the most murderous among us; he would wipe out civilizations at the drop of a hat; one could completely say this guy has wiped out countless civilizations."

"It's just that now, he seems a bit gentler."

Just like an old man with a kind face, but in the past, he had a sea of blood behind him.

"After all, that guy isn't young anymore; naturally, there will be such a process, transforming from a young man into a big shot with a transcendent vision."

Himeko can understand this meaning.

After all, Herta is quite old.

In fact, it is indeed so.

Through the diary of the researcher Rong Rong Cangzhong, one will find that the anti-gravity protective net has existed for eight Amber Eras.

The reason this thing was originally built.

He wonders, is it really to curry favor with Lady Herta, or something else?

Kafka, not knowing much, would doubtfully say, this Herta was already famous in the last Amber Era, so, she should be over a hundred years old, right?

Herta is #83.

As for the current #85, the former #84 Stephen, this person initially used the image of a middle-aged man wearing suspenders in the Simulated Universe.

He was roasted by Herta.

She asked where a middle-aged man would wear that thing.

Being exposed like this, later his image had no beard and no suspenders.

There is a little yellow duck on his head.

So you will find later that Stephen is just a kid, socially anxious himself, working in his foster father's fruit shop, and even taking a little yellow duck with him when he takes a bath.

Su Han is older than him.

So #84.

This is naturally because when Su Han joined the Society, Stephen didn't even exist yet.

So in Herta's eyes, it is.

Su Han, that guy, young man, and so on.

Stephen, brat.

"Of course, the concepts of geniuses are different from ordinary people. Just like Hikari, facing the war between the Luofu Xianzhou and the Abundance, in his eyes, it might just be the operation of white and black, the two mutually generating and restraining each other."

"Don't expect to try to understand them; sometimes the thoughts of geniuses change in an instant."

"Actually, this guy and Stephen have a pretty good relationship; perhaps it's because they are both geniuses who don't want to join the Society, humph, but they have no choice!"

"Last time these two guys even ran to a certain star sector and made the time there a complete mess."

"So Hikari isn't a normal person either."

March 7th: ...

The pink-haired girl is stunned.

"No wonder Mr. Su Han said that before parting."

"Said what."

"Said that you, Herta, would definitely speak ill of him."

"Humph."

Herta dismisses it and turns to leave.

But at this moment, a projection appears here, and a familiar light laugh rings out.

"Isn't that so?"

Herta turns around again.

And looks in surprise.

"Why aren't you using your previous image this time? Last time it was a man in black, what was it, Hikari Serizawa?"

"It's Hikari Serizawa Kazuya."

"Always having a fixed name is also quite boring."

At this moment, Su Han appears here, using his true appearance.

Herta understands as soon as she sees this Luofu Xianzhou attire.

"So that's it; instead of having nothing better to do and giving those two toys to the Luofu Xianzhou, you might as well come and test the Simulated Universe with me."

"Testing that is boring."

"? Then what do you want to test?"
