"Although you took the initiative to request cooperation, after hearing Li's plan... are we really that necessary to you?"

"Such a coincidental development inevitably raises suspicions."

Hearing Mei's words, Dr. Mei couldn't help but feel a headache coming on: "Your argument makes a lot of sense. When I agreed to let my world bubble become a 'tool,' I obviously couldn't have predicted your arrival, so..."

"Although it's difficult to prove... this is indeed what's called a 'pleasant surprise'."

……

Dr. Mei then explained the whole story to Mei and the others.

This world bubble is actually an existence that was stripped from the real world by the [Herrscher of the End].

The Earth above our heads is actually just a "decoration".

In short, while destroying the world, the Herrscher of the End of the Existing World also inadvertently created this world bubble.

Dr. Mei (from the original world), who foresaw this, went along with it and allowed the Stigmata Project to find suitable targets from among them.

Since the [Dr. Mei] in this world bubble is her [residual image] from the original world, she also inherits most of the thoughts of [Mei] from the original world.

Therefore, Dr. Mei in this world bubble also knows many of Dr. Mei's plans in the original world.

In order to save her own World Bubble, Mei followed the plan of [Original World Mei] and deliberately exposed World Bubble to the eyes of [World Serpent] to attract their attention.

Mei succeeded.

This world has successfully become a tool of the [World Serpent], in exchange for the possibility of this world bubble [extending].

Until now, Kiana and the others have arrived in this world bubble...

In other words, for Kevin and the others in the original world, they only gained the result that "this bubble is very suitable as a place of exile" and used this bubble as their "place of exile".

The people in this world have never had any contact with the [World Serpent].

As for Kiana and Mei's arrival, it was a pleasant surprise for Mei.

……

"In the long period that followed, I used my remaining cognitive abilities to deduce all possible scenarios... and with the help of your Herrscher powers, we can optimize our [resource consumption] to the greatest extent possible."

"Please follow me. Once you see the scene over there, you'll understand what I mean."

As she spoke, Mei prepared to leave with Mei.

Just then, DuckDuck suddenly spoke up: "What's useful to you are the [Herrscher of Void] and the [Herrscher of Consciousness]."

"So, it's okay if Bronya and Mei don't participate?"

After a moment's thought, Mei nodded gently: "For the time being, that's certainly true."

Bronya: "So... can we leave for a while?"

Because Mei and the others did not fully trust Dr. Mei, Yaya cleverly found an excuse to leave, so that they could have room to help each other if something unexpected happened.

Finally, Kiana and Shibao followed Dr. Mei to their destination.

On the way, the true face of the [Herrscher of the End] was finally revealed to the players.

It was a huge statue, the size of a small mountain, very damaged, but still recognizable as a female figure.

The barrage of comments exploded at that moment.

……

According to Mei's explanation, because this is a bubble of the world, this Herrscher of the End does not possess true power of the End.

"However, if the Herrscher of the End in this world becomes active again, then this guy might also draw power from it."

Looking at the statue that exuded an immense sense of oppression, Kiana couldn't help but ask, "Then, if the Stigmata Project succeeds, will she still awaken?"

"Huh? You didn't know?" Mei was quite surprised by Kiana's question. "The Stigmata Project itself relies on the power of [The End]. Otherwise—"

How could humanity possibly possess the ability to reorganize an entire planet?

Upon hearing this, both Kiana and Shibao in the game were dumbfounded.

"This……"

"In short, if we don't cooperate with all the forces we can... our world is doomed." After saying this, Dr. Mei gave a self-deprecating laugh and shook his head.

"Okay, let's not talk about these negative things. After all, we have very positive things to do."

After saying that, she led Kiana and the others to continue towards their destination.

Soon the group arrived at a place with a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

The situation here reminded players of the broken bridge that Li Sushang and Dai'e encountered on the moon.

"As you can see, although we can see the area on the other side of this bridge with the naked eye, that area is, at this very moment, actually [another world]."

"Unfortunately, Prometheus is currently trapped there."

……

Earlier, Dr. May had spoken to Kiana about the importance of Prometheus.

Although Prometheus is just an artificial intelligence.

However, the specific implementation plans for many of Dr. May's plans are kept in Prometheus.

Therefore, her purpose in bringing Kiana and Shiki was to use their Herrscher powers to "rescue" Prometheus from that world.

"However... I can no longer use the powers of the Herrscher of the Void."

Mei shook her head, then turned to Shi Bao: "This is why I need Xiao Shi."

Shi Bao asked in confusion, "Me?"

What does Kiana's Herrscher of the Void have to do with me, the Herrscher of Knowledge?

Dr. Mei quickly provided an explanation.

The seal on Kiana and the others' powers actually has quite obvious flaws.

Even... that flaw seemed to have been intentionally left out.

"flaw?"

“That’s right! As fellow Herrschers, although we both have some deficiencies in our power, I still retain relatively more authority—and it is precisely because of this ‘more’ that you were able to come to my side smoothly.”

"So, if it's just a guess... I can indeed offer one possible approach—mental shackles."

According to Dr. Mei's deduction, the power seals on Kiana and others are seals on a spiritual level.

As for Mei's explanation, Shi Bao, who was always confident, naturally did not believe it.

Mei didn't offer much explanation, only shaking her head as if feigning difficulty: "If Aponia or Su were here, our problem should be easily solved."

"But now, since we lack powerful mental warriors..."

At this point, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Dr. Mei glanced at Shi Bao again, and then sighed:

"Sigh...this is so difficult."

"Where exactly are we supposed to find our [Feathered Dust]?"

Shi Bao: "...You?"

This is obviously a chicken-themed strategy.

Both Chongchong and Shibao could tell.

"This is too obvious..." Kiana thought to herself, "Even if it were her, it shouldn't be possible..."

Thinking of this, Kiana secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

And in the very next instant...

The mental space she had once explored on Mount Taixu unfolded once more at this moment.

Although it happened without warning, Kiana still managed to create an aura of "great anger" in the air.

"Wait, Herald of Knowledge, Dr. Mei may not have finished speaking yet, she..."

·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·····

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Bao angrily interrupted, "Enough nonsense! Since it's a shackle, I'll break it for you!"

Kiana: "Wait... which kind of 'breakthrough' are you referring to?"

Shi Bao didn't answer her; he simply charged forward with his spear in hand.

Seeing this, the players couldn't help but laugh.

Whether it's Shi Bao's adorable appearance or her actions of using the slogan of "breaking the shackles" while actually wanting to beat Kiana.

Both of these things made the audience laugh.

Unexpectedly, Kiana and Shi Bao's second encounter took place again within this mental space.

However, unlike the last time at Mount Taixu, this time it was more like a friendly sparring match between the two.

After all, they were already companions.

Shi Bao doesn't dislike Kiana.

"Has anything changed?"
