Chapter 125: The Second Act of Destruction
As we all know, the Herrscher Core is not something that can exist stably in the outside world.
If you want to take the Herrscher Core out of the outside world, you must store it in a stable container for preservation.
This container could be a specially made insulating container created by humans. It was in this insulating container that Dr. Maki's mortal body used to escape from the Third Research Institute of Schicksal carrying the Serenity Gem.
Of course, the insulating container was probably destroyed by Watt when the Herrscher Core was handed over to him. After all, Cocolia had never thought of taking the Serenity Gem away from this country.
In addition, the container can also be the human body.
Wendy, who is far away in Oceania, is now serving as a human container for the gem, using her body to keep the Herrscher Core.
Only in her body can the Gem of Desire exist in a stable form. Once it is taken out, it may cause disaster.
In short, if the Herrscher Core is not stored in a suitable container, its mere existence is enough to cause a catastrophic spread of Honkai in the outside world.
This is the case with ordinary Herrscher Cores, let alone the Herrscher Core in front of him that has been injected with excessive Honkai energy...
Kirataka fell into deep thought in front of the Serenity Gem, and began to think about a solution.
The first solution he thought of was to project the Oath of Judah and use it as a container.
The Oath of Judah is naturally a superior substitute for ordinary insulating containers in terms of performance. After all, no matter how high-end and sophisticated the insulating container is, it cannot be as effective as the Divine Key in blocking Honkai energy.
Even if there is monstrous Honkai energy inside it, the Oath of Judah can be used as a temporary container to seal it and then deal with it later.
From a technical point of view, it is indeed feasible and even perfect, but under the current situation, the risks of doing so are quite high.
——If we take the Serenity Gem right now, it will inevitably attract the attention of both Cocolia and Otto, and the situation will lead to a life-and-death pursuit.
However, as long as he maintained the huge entity of the Oath of Judah, his actions would not be so convenient.
By that time, it will become very difficult to leave the city, and it will be easy to be caught up by either Schicksal or Anti-Entropy.
[Infinity], although its defensive performance is powerful, can only protect him for three minutes at most. It is fine to use it to block attacks in emergency battles, but it is a bit difficult to use it to escape.
Of course, he was not the kind of person who made decisions based on assumptions. In short, he decided to try the first method first and see what the consequences would be.
Kirataka closed his eyes slightly and began to experience the future of [sealing the Serenity Gem with the Oath of Judah and taking it away].
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes, his eyes became a little tired, and he shook his head regretfully, muttering to himself:
"In the one hundred futures where this plan is implemented, the probability of being discovered by Schicksal or Anti-Entropy is ninety-nine percent."
"Two of them will hit Watt, and ninety-seven will be caught up by Fu Hua."
"With the Sealed Object, I can't deal with them well, especially Fu Hua."
"Although there is indeed a route that can avoid Watt or Fu Hua and allow me to successfully escape to the border of Singapore, but..."
"At the edge of the border, the Titan army that Cocolia had prepared long ago is patrolling in full battle array. Even if they can avoid the Titans, they will still have to face the Durandal army that Otto had arranged in advance to block Cocolia's army."
It is a dragnet that is impossible to escape even with wings.
With the overly conspicuous weapon of the Oath of Judah, he would be too easy to be discovered by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, so it was better to PASS this plan.
One hundred failed attempts were enough to prove the failure of this plan, and there was no point in trying any further.
Kirataka stopped trying this route and started thinking about other ways.
"…So, after all, we have to wait until Schicksal and Anti-Entropy confront each other in Singapore," he thought.
When the two sides are in confrontation, the chance and possibility of paying attention to him will become smaller, making it easier for him to take advantage of the situation.
Moreover, if we talk about a container that can store the Herrscher Core, Kirataka has the impression that Siegfried in this city has one in his hands.
——Although Cocolia is now extremely powerful within Anti-Entropy, that does not mean that others will not stop her actions.
The reason why Siegfried appeared in Singapore and got involved in this incident was because he accepted a commission from Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla. He came here with an insulating container and planned to find a way to stop Cocolia's plan.
If he remembered correctly, in the original timeline, he handed the container to the Immortal Phoenix after meeting Fu Hua...
Perhaps, he could find a way to find Siegfried first, take the container from him, and steal the thing.
Only after he had the container could he secretly take the Serenity Gem away from here.
...In other words, the next major task becomes trying to find Siegfried's location.
After confirming this policy, Kirataka planned to erase the current timeline again and return to the Queen Hotel.
——After all, he had already invaded the place where the Herrscher Core was stored, which was strictly guarded by Cocolia. Although he had sneaked in here using Fenghuang Down and electromagnetic control, this was only a temporary thing after all.
If the timeline is not erased, it won't be long before Cocolia will discover the signs of invasion here. By then, she might take some measures as she is cunning and treacherous.
In order to avoid complications, he did not intend to take the Serenity Gem immediately, but decided to erase the future that invaded the safe.
Having said that, now that he's here, he's definitely going to try one thing.
——Before going back, let him experience with his own life what would happen if his physical body came into contact with the Herrscher Core.
Well, although the possibility is slim, what if he becomes the Herrscher of Death?
This is just an impromptu idea. Since we have to go back to the past anyway, we might as well use this life to do an experiment.
Thinking of this, without taking any protective measures, Kirataka stretched out his right hand and easily broke the device where the Serenity Gem was placed.
