Chapter 280: Tesla: This New Herrscher Isn't Very Good.
A newly created life.
Unlike the life forms that everyone generally understood, Noldrei was planning to try creating a new type of life form from the future.
There are many forms of life. Generally, they are divided into plants, animals, and so on.
But in the future, Noldrei's era had already seen the emergence of incomprehensible life forms.
Tesla didn't know what kind of life Noldrei wanted to create.
"But if you want to freeze the space-time of the solar system, I don't think the power of the Honkai can do that."
Tesla wasn't joking. She personally believed the Honkai wasn't powerful enough to do something so incredible.
"Oh? Why?" Noldrei hadn't expected Tesla to refute his idea.
"Think about it. Does the Honkai really have that much power? I mean, if it's really that powerful, why haven't humans detected this situation on other planets in the solar system?"
Tesla's heart was itching.
With her current abilities, flying to Mars and the moon was not a problem. She did have the urge to go and investigate other planets in person.
"Hmm? Is that so?" Noldrei looked at Sirin.
Sirin nodded and said, "The furthest I've been was when Benares took me to the moon. I did feel an astonishingly desperate concentration of Honkai Energy there. But it's not impossible that the Honkai has hidden its own existence."
Sirin gave a different answer.
This really surprised Noldrei.
The Honkai, hiding itself? He had never considered such an idea. After all, in the world 130,000 years later, Noldrei had never seen anyone use Honkai Energy in space.
Not just people, even so-called Herrschers had never left any record in history.
Take today's situation, for example. If this happened in the history of 130,000 years later, it would have to be a great event on par with the transition from feudalism to capitalism. It's impossible for there to be no record of it at all.
That's strange. What could have happened to make the Honkai disappear from history?
Noldrei temporarily set the question aside and asked, "Tesla, why do you think the Honkai can't seal the space-time of the entire solar system?"
"Simple. If it really could, it would have done so directly to destroy human civilization, instead of releasing so-called Herrschers like squeezing toothpaste! Also!"
Tesla's electronic projection pointed to the sky and said, "Just like how I can't stop the rotation of the entire Earth's magnetic field, since a Herrscher like me can't do that, then she certainly can't do it either."
"This new Herrscher would be doing well to just freeze a continent into an ice sheet. If her Honkai Energy output reached the level of sealing the entire solar system, her body would be the first to be washed away and destroyed by the immense energy."
Tesla's tone was direct, just short of pointing at the Herrschers present and saying:
'You're all useless!'
Clearly, Tesla was right.
But Noldrei didn't want to give up this opportunity. He acknowledged Tesla's summary of the upper limits of a Herrscher's abilities.
"You're right, but I'm still going to create a new life."
Go ahead and change it. It's not like I can stop you. Tesla felt Noldrei was being too much, bringing up something she couldn't do and emphasizing it over and over again.
"So, what are you going to change them into? Or are you only planning to modify the Herrscher and not this ordinary girl who's about to become a Deadwalker?"
Tesla asked curiously.
After all, Noldrei was creating children for her. She had to be a little curious, right?
"Do you remember the question you asked me? You asked if people in the future have love and such. In fact, there is love in the future, it's just that you can't understand it with your current way of thinking. Love in our time is actually very simple. It's..."
Noldrei laughed as he spoke. "It's the ability to control each other's bodies at the same time."
"What? I don't understand. Can you repeat that?" Tesla blinked, completely bewildered by his words.
"I said, to be able to control each other's bodies at the same time. That is, if I love you and you love me, then I can use your body, and you can use mine. That is love!"
Noldrei's words were firm, making Sirin involuntarily gasp.
That's love? That's torture!
Tesla let out a dry laugh, thinking Noldrei must have some misunderstanding of love.
But on second thought, it seemed... it really did seem like love.
You have me, I have you, isn't that what love is?
"Although I don't subscribe to this view of love, it doesn't stop me from using it directly. You see, I'll let this girl control the Herrscher's body, and the Herrscher control this girl's body. I wonder if they can achieve a spiritual resonance and get together. It's really something to look forward to!"
Sirin was so scared she rolled behind Benares.
Even though she knew she couldn't dodge Noldrei's attacks at this level, this person was just too terrifying.
This wasn't just random matchmaking; this was completely insane matchmaking.
Two bodies, two consciousnesses, and both can fight for control. This was a scene Sirin could have never imagined before. If something went wrong, wouldn't they just end up fighting each other?
Tesla wasn't bothered by this problem. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Quick, quick, tell me how you do it!"
"Of course, by using the power of the Stigma. Just like how anyone can enter the Kaslana Stigma Space, we can also let everyone build their own private Stigma servers! How about that? This is the inevitable path to the dissolution of the future Stigma empire. Isn't it terrifying!"
Noldrei gloated, having planted a huge landmine for his heir apparent.
"You dog! The empire hasn't even developed yet, and you're already trying to destroy it?!"
Tesla was furious.
Noldrei retorted, "The Nagazora Empire is different. That's a collective of subjects marrying the emperor, all concubines controlled by the emperor. But love is different. They can help each other, control each other, and rely on each other to move forward."
"Therefore, marital relationships can never defeat our empire's bureaucracy. Marital relationships have eternally unstable internal conflicts. Don't go spouting alarmist nonsense to my silly Crown Princess when you get home!"
Tesla was dumbfounded. The more she listened, the more she felt that what Noldrei was saying was actually... damn true.
