"Alright, let's eat first." Cecilia, who had been standing nearby, interrupted their conversation with a gentle tone.
Under normal circumstances, Cecilia wouldn't have minded indulging in Kiana's antics, but with guests present today, it wouldn't do for them to be too unruly.
Hearing Cecilia's words, Kiana and the others fell silent.
With that, everyone took their seats.
Before long, a spread of delicious dishes was served, and the group dug in heartily.
After the lively meal, everyone made their way to St. Freya Academy's training grounds.
The space here was vast, filled with all sorts of equipment.
They had come to fulfill the agreement made earlier with Wu Tong. After several hours of preparation, they had gathered everything they could offer for the trade.
Upon arriving at the training grounds and seeing the items laid out, Wu Tong, understanding their intent, began collecting his due reward.
From Otto, the First Divine Key, the Key of Revelation—Void Archives—containing all the knowledge of the Previous Era, as well as all the technical data from Schicksal accessed through the Overseer's authority.
From Welt Joyce, the analytical data of his natural Herrscher physiology, and from the elder Yang, the analytical data of the Core of Reason, along with all of Anti-Entropy's technical archives.
From Fu Hua, the Inch Heart Fist technique, the Taixu Swordplay, 50,000 years of accumulated martial arts experience extracted via the Eighth Divine Key, the Key of Consciousness—Feather of Xuanyuan—and the analytical data of the Herrscher of Consciousness core within the Divine Key.
From Kiana and Raiden Mei, the analytical data of the Cores of the Void and Thunder Herrschers, respectively.
From Durandal, the analytical data of the Core of Death within the Sixth Divine Key, the Key of Creation—Black Abyss and White Flower.
The Core of the Herrscher of Earth within the Ninth Divine Key, Eden's Star; the Core of the Herrscher of Dominion within the Tenth Divine Key, the Xuanyuan Sword; the Core of the Herrscher of Binding within the Eleventh Divine Key, Oath of Judah…
...
"Detecting a large volume of knowledge data. Archiving… Archiving complete. Added to database: Scientific Knowledge Template."
"Detecting martial arts experience. Archiving… Archiving complete. Added to database: Esoteric Foundation Template."
"Detecting special abilities. Analyzing… Analysis successful. Designated as 'Authority' based on world information."
"A total of eight Authorities recorded: Reason (Analysis and Construction), Void (Space-Time Manipulation), Thunder (Electromagnetic Control), Death (Creation and Decay), Consciousness (Mind Control), Earth (Gravity Manipulation), Dominion (Domination), and Binding (Energy Restriction). Ability analysis in progress… Analysis complete. Integrated into host's ability system."
"Archiving complete. All knowledge successfully recorded. Authorities converted into innate abilities…"
Listening to the voice of his AI core echoing in his mind, Wu Tong felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. Happiness, it seemed, could be so simple.
As the voice faded, Wu Tong reviewed the list of gains compiled by the AI core and nodded in approval. Nearly everything he had come to the Honkai world for was now in his hands.
Tools at his disposal:
Vice Principal: One Raven.
A roster of 1,500 Valkyrie instructors.
The complete knowledge legacy of the Previous Era from Void Archives.
All technical data from Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent.
Fu Hua's 50,000 years of martial arts insights and all her techniques.
Eight Herrscher Authorities out of fourteen: Reason (Analysis and Construction), Void (Space-Time Manipulation), Thunder (Electromagnetic Control), Death (Creation and Decay), Consciousness (Mind Control), Earth (Gravity Manipulation), Dominion (Domination), and Binding (Energy Restriction).
...
Moreover, after the AI core's analysis, Wu Tong had fully mastered the operation of these Authorities, comprehending all their mysteries.
The Authorities under his control had become innate abilities, their power scaling with his own strength.
In short, the analyzed Authorities would grow stronger as Wu Tong himself grew stronger.
From this point onward, the only limit to their output was the amount of energy Wu Tong could supply.
"Just as I thought. Coming to the Honkai world was the right decision."
Feeling the profundity of the eight Authorities, Wu Tong focused his mind. Channeling his Pure Yang True Qi, he transformed it through the Authorities, materializing it into a physical form.
A single Revival Coin appeared in his palm.
This coin was crafted using the Authority of Reason—Analysis and Construction—and functioned identically to the Revival Coins from the chat group.
Having long since analyzed the coin's blueprint via the AI core, Wu Tong had been unable to produce them due to a lack of materials.
But the Authority of Analysis and Construction allowed him to directly manifest objects by expending energy—including the materials needed for Revival Coins.
Thus, Wu Tong could now mass-produce Revival Coins using this Authority.
In this way, the Authority of Analysis and Construction perfectly complemented his abilities.
With the AI core, Wu Tong could analyze and acquire knowledge, approaching a state of pseudo-omniscience. Yet, without the Authority of Analysis and Construction, knowledge remained just that—knowledge, constrained by factors like technological limitations, production capacity, and material scarcity.
But with this Authority, he could directly materialize the end products. As long as he possessed the knowledge, he could achieve pseudo-omnipotence.
Of course, this "omnipotence" was still bound by the limits of his knowledge.
Even so, Wu Tong's current capabilities were terrifying. The AI core connected to the Akashic Records of the world to acquire knowledge, while Analysis and Construction allowed him to handcraft the results.
With this synergy, any blueprint in his possession could be realized instantly.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Wu Tong reached true omniscience and omnipotence.
...
"A shame I haven't obtained the Authority of Corruption yet."
Playing with the Revival Coin in his hand, Wu Tong sighed.
Of all the Herrscher Authorities in the Honkai world, the ones he had most desired were Analysis and Construction, Corruption, Binding, and the Consciousness Authority of the Herrscher of Sentience.
The Authority of Analysis and Construction complemented his abilities, freeing him from material constraints and enabling true exponential growth.
The Consciousness Authority granted him psychic abilities, filling a critical gap in his defenses and offensive capabilities.
The Binding Authority allowed him to create anti-energy fields, suppressing all external energy and vastly enhancing his combat prowess.
The Corruption Authority was the bane of all machinery, a crucial asset for future endeavors in other worlds.
As for the other Herrscher Authorities, they were merely trophies for his collection—nice to have, but not essential.
