"Based on this, let's put ourselves in each other's shoes. Perhaps the future Thirteen Heroes can all summon their own substitutes, and you are all the future Thirteen Heroes."
"The reason you can't summon them now is probably because you died in different ways before the arrival of the new civilization, which makes the summoning a bit more difficult."
"Perhaps you need a bit more stimulation," Chen Li commented while munching on a melon seed.
"I have a feeling you're just watching the show from the sidelines." Alicia had this inexplicable intuition.
But can you say that Alicia isn't tempted by the ability to summon a substitute of herself?
Alicia was definitely tempted.
Wow, are there two girls as beautiful as me in this world?
It would be a shame not to try summoning it!
"You're imagining things." Chen Li was frantically suppressing his smile.
Okay, Alicia guessed right.
While the probability of Alicia and the others being able to summon their own Stands is relatively small, it's not impossible.
In addition to Sue, Kevin, Hua, and Gretchen, Aponia may also have her own Stand.
Some people are alive but already dead, while others are dead but still alive.
Each of the thirteen heroes died in his own way.
Aponia's method of death was even more unique. Through the backdoor left by Velvet in the Land of the Dead, she chose to merge her consciousness with the Land of the Dead, just to find the answer to how Alicia successfully changed the future.
Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether Aponia is dead or alive.
Perhaps Aponia could summon a substitute that could unleash a massive afterlife paradise upon the enemy.
He sounds even more handsome now.
Damn it, Aponia, is this your escape route?!
"Lunch is ready." Qianjie kicked open the door of the Mebius Laboratory and pushed the food cart in.
But when Qianjie entered the Mebius Laboratory, the first thing he saw was Alicia Mebius and Velvet, who were posing in all sorts of strange positions.
Although Sakura was nearby, she did not participate in summoning the Stand. Instead, she sat there silently, seemingly deep in thought.
"Hmm, what are you doing?" Qianjie was taken aback.
"Oh, I was wondering what I forgot... the unexpected calamity!" Chen Li slapped his forehead and finally remembered what he had forgotten.
What does "out of the ordinary" mean?
"So you didn't participate in the explanation process for no reason, so you don't know anything. Anyway, let's have lunch first, and I'll give you a rundown of the worldview later." After saying that, Chen Li ran straight towards the food cart.
Although Mom's tablecloth can indeed conjure up the food the user needs, Chen Li's situation is special.
With the ability to conjure up gourmet food cells, Chen Li can eat anything, so he can never conjure up normal food.
Mebius? What she conjured up were instant noodles of all flavors.
Alicia summoned various exquisite desserts and cakes.
What Vilvi summoned was compressed biscuits, which fit Chen Li's preconceived notion of science-oriented women.
Sakura? That's more normal, but Chen Li wants something cooked, so sushi and the like are out of the question.
Sirin is special; all she summons are snacks.
......
Although she wasn't full, after everyone else had eaten and drunk their fill, Ying walked up to Chen Li and asked him a question that would test his logical thinking.
"If my sister eventually becomes the Herrscher of Corruption and is sealed in the Black Box, then who will be inside the Black Box 5 years from now?"
"Well... I really don't know. I hope it's the Scarlet Jade Pill. Anyway, we can go and take a look," Chen Li said.
"Will my sister have the ability to summon Stands?"
"Hiss... That's a tricky question. Like I said, we can go take a look. But I can give you some time off now, so you can spend some time with your sister, or you can just bring her to the Firemoth." Chen Li said.
"But boss, my current job is as a royal bodyguard... I need to protect you."
“Emmm…” Sakura said in a serious tone, leaving Chen Li with no way to refute her.
You mean, you're an assassin, and you can protect me better than my friendships and bonds can?
But Chen Li also really liked Ying's loyalty.
so......
"Don't worry, if I die, I can be resurrected by watching a 30-second ad."
“That makes sense.” Ying suddenly understood when she thought that Chen Li only needed to watch a 30-second ad to be resurrected.
She seemed to have made up her mind and turned to leave.
"Damn it, Sakura just left so decisively! I'll deduct a month's salary from her salary and make her buy me fries!" Chen Li felt heartbroken as he watched Sakura's departing figure.
Is a life that can be revived by a 30-second ad not a life at all?
"What kind of fries cost a month's salary to buy?" Alicia asked, leaning closer.
“That’s not the problem. By the way, Velvi, come here for a moment.”
"what happened?"
"Go and forge 13 medals based on these 13 symbols." Chen Li took out the representative symbols of the thirteen heroes.
“Aren’t you a blacksmith too? You’ve become lazy, Chen Li.”
"I've been busy, haven't I?"
"What are you busy with?"
"I'm busy eating. When I'm at home, eating makes me stronger, and that's the confidence that my food-loving cells give me."
"Alright, then what's the point of you forging these 13 medals?"
"As you can see, these 13 medals are the future symbols of the thirteen heroes. So I plan to create them and award them to you after each of you has accomplished a heroic deed, to prove your status," Chen Li said.
Chen Li would also specifically instruct the high-ranking officials under his control to behave themselves and be obedient when they saw these 13 medals.
Behead first and report later, royal authority has granted permission.
This is the significance of the Thirteen Heroes!
"Oh, I see, the Privilege Medal, right?"
"Don't be so blunt. In short, these 13 medals are used to highlight tools and to set trends. So, in order to obtain these 13 medals, you'd better hurry up and practice summoning your own clones. Good luck!" Chen Li patted Wilvie on the shoulder.
"Once these 13 medals become symbols of civilization, I will collect them and forge them into a marvelous object, which may have miraculous effects," Chen Li said.
In fact, Chen Li had already planned to go to the present civilization to search for treasure after some time.
According to the original plan that Chen Li had given to the former high-ranking officials of the civilization, Chen Li should have been able to gain a lot of good things.
"I don't need a Stand, I will surpass Stands!" Alicia said, hands on her hips.
Even if you say that, the medal that belongs to you won't be given to you so soon.
"Goo!"
"Alright, you guys can continue practicing summoning substitutes. I should get back to my work. Sirin, is the Honkai energy collected yet?" Chen Li asked Sirin beside him.
“I’ve collected 10 world bubbles,” Sirin said, pointing to the bubble that was flying around her at a steady speed.
For Sirin, constructing an empty world bubble was not difficult.
The reason for using these world bubbles to collect Honkai energy is that Herrschers have almost no restrictions on the use of Honkai energy, but the Honkai energy in the Herrscher core is only a small part of the Honkai energy that Herrschers can use. More Honkai energy exists in the imaginary space, so when Sirin went to another world, she experienced a shortage of mana.
(Similarly, because only a small portion of the Herrscher's Honkai energy exists within the Herrscher Core, a Divine Key forged from the Herrscher Core will deplete the Herrscher Core's energy each time it reaches zero rated power, requiring at least two hours to recharge. The Herrscher, however, does not have this problem.)
Therefore, at Chen Li's suggestion, Sirin constructed the Honkai Energy World Bubble as an energy storage mechanism.
Only Herrschers like the Herrscher of the Void, who possess the ability to manipulate imaginary space, can enjoy this convenience.
However, as long as they don't travel to another world, other Herrschers won't have this problem.
However, even if Sirin possesses so much Honkai energy from the World Bubble, the power limit of the Herrscher Core is still fixed.
The Herrscher of Limits is never the mechanism, but the upper limit of output.
Just like the youkai in Gensokyo.
"I feel like nine would be enough, so could I have one?" Chen Li asked, wiping his drool as he looked at the tempting World Bubble.
"Here you go." Without any hesitation, Xilin tossed a World Bubble to Chen Li, and thoughtfully shrunk it from a size slightly larger than a fist to the size of a ping-pong ball so that Chen Li could swallow it in one gulp.
"Aww! It tastes really good. I feel like my resistance to Honkai energy has increased a lot!" Chen Li felt a surge of power.
Although this wasn't Chen Li's first time consuming Honkai energy, it was his first time consuming World Bubble.
"Where are you going next? Can you take me with you?" Alicia leaned closer.
"Sure. Once I arrive in the other world, I'll use the friend function to summon you. You can just send your phantom to appear then."
"Why send a phantom? Wouldn't it be better if I went myself?"
"Because think about it, if you send a projection to travel to another world while you practice summoning Stands here, wouldn't you be doing two things at the same time? Besides, the projection's memories will eventually be fed back to you."
"Hiss..." Alicia gasped.
