(Jean: This man, actually plotting against Rubert I?!)
(Ningguang: It really is worthy of being called Dottore of the Fatui, isn't it? To actually want to plot against the Anti-Life Equation, what a crazy man.)
(Navia: Anti... Anti-Life Equation, isn't that extremely dangerous knowledge? What does he want with it?)
(Alhaitham: Although this knowledge is dangerous, the energy it contains is quite immense. The corner of the Machine War that Takagi showed us can prove this point.)
(Clorinde: The Anti-Life Equation can even infiltrate machines of the Xianzhou Aurumaton level. If it were to infiltrate and rewrite the internal programs of clockwork meka, it would likely be even easier.)
(Kaveh: I suddenly worry that the Akasha might also be affected by the Anti-Life Equation.)
(Yae Miko: Did a certain shut-in girl see that? Someone is planning to research the Anti-Life Equation.)
(Ei: ...)
(Charlotte: It should be fine, right? Lord Takagi just said Dottore has the idea of researching the Anti-Life Equation, he might not necessarily succeed, right?)
(Navia: That's true. After all, his intelligence is only 3, and he hasn't successfully stepped onto the Path of Erudition to get intelligence boosts. Moreover, the Anti-Life Equation was developed by Rubert, who is a mechanical life form. It's impossible for Dottore, who is an organic life form, to understand Rubert's invention, right?)
(Furina: Yeah, Dottore isn't even a machine, so he shouldn't be able to obtain the Anti-Life Equation, right?)
(Lyney: Even so, considering the conditions in our Fontaine with many clockwork meka, we still need to keep a close eye on this Dottore.)
"Anti-Life Equation?"
"I didn't mishear, did I?" Lisa frowned tightly and looked at Dottore.
"What good does pursuing such knowledge do you?" Cloud Retainer looked at Dottore somewhat unkindly.
"Dottore, the Anti-Life Equation is absolutely Forbidden Knowledge. You shouldn't even think about touching it," Nahida said to Dottore with a serious expression.
Takagi's words startled Nahida, Lisa, and Cloud Retainer. Their vigilance towards this fellow traveler, Dottore of the Fatui, also increased by a level. If Takagi hadn't been here, and it wasn't inconvenient to act in the Space Station, they even planned to have a serious talk with Dottore.
"Why be so nervous? I'm just curious about what the Aurumaton carried. If you want to blame someone, blame the fact that the Aurumaton happened to be carrying the Anti-Life Equation. You are all intelligent people; aren't you curious about the Anti-Life Equation? Besides, studying the Anti-Life Equation isn't a bad thing. If one day Rubert I's Anti-Life Equation truly descends upon Teyvat, and if we happen to have some understanding of the Anti-Life Equation, wouldn't we be perfectly equipped to deal with it?"
Dottore smiled and spread his hands towards Nahida and the others. Since Lord Takagi had specifically pointed it out, he didn't intend to conceal it any longer.
"You mean, you touched the Anti-Life Equation for the sake of Teyvat?" Lisa looked at Dottore, her eyes revealing a hint of disbelief.
"Naturally, I am a creature of Teyvat after all," Dottore said as if it were self-evident. Seeing their disbelieving looks, he continued: "Furthermore, even if you don't believe I did it for Teyvat, there's no need to be nervous. Didn't you destroy the Xianzhou Aurumaton I took? In that short amount of time, it would be impossible for me to damage the Anti-Life Equation developed by Rubert I, a member of the Genius Society. Isn't that right, Lord Takagi?"
Finally, Dottore looked at Lord Takagi with a smile. Lisa, Nahida, and Cloud Retainer also looked at Lord Takagi. Although they knew it was impossible for Dottore to fully understand the Anti-Life Equation, they still wanted a definitive answer from Lord Takagi.
"Indeed, with your intelligence, it is impossible for you to decipher the Aurumaton's manufacturing technology based on the limited information from the Simulated Universe. Let alone deciphering Rubert I's Anti-Life Equation," Lord Takagi nodded and said.
"Is... is that so," Dottore's mouth twitched. Although he was slightly displeased that Lord Takagi emphasized his intelligence, thinking of the gap between himself and Lord Takagi, who possessed an unknown number of Light Cones, and thinking of the current strength of Nahida, Lisa, and Cloud Retainer, he still chose to swallow his displeasure.
"That being said, you are still a genius in the small world of Teyvat after all. Although you wouldn't create an Anti-Life Equation capable of affecting countless galaxies, perhaps you've created a small-scale Anti-Life Equation that can affect Teyvat," Lord Takagi said.
"An Anti-Life Equation that can affect Teyvat? As expected of Dottore, to receive such an evaluation from Lord Takagi." Lisa looked deeply at Dottore, the smile on Lisa's face appearing somewhat dangerous at this moment.
Cloud Retainer also looked at Dottore warily. You see, she and Lisa have now mastered some of the Aurumaton's modification techniques. If they continue to summarize this technology afterward, perhaps they can imitate the Xianzhou Aurumaton to create some robots with a certain level of strength and use these robots equipped with a certain degree of Aurumaton technology to protect Mondstadt and Liyue. If Dottore has indeed researched the Anti-Life Equation, even if it's just a small-scale Anti-Life Equation that can affect Teyvat, this is also a threat to Lisa and Cloud Retainer.
After hearing what Lord Takagi said, Dottore fell silent again. Although his goal was an Anti-Life Equation that could affect the Universe, he did have the idea of first researching a simplified version of the Anti-Life Equation. Dottore's original idea was not to let others know about the relevant information before researching the simplified version of the Anti-Life Equation. As a result of Lord Takagi's mention, he could imagine the resistance he would encounter when conducting research related to the Anti-Life Equation in Teyvat afterward. Dottore even felt that Lord Takagi also intended to prevent him from researching the Anti-Life Equation.
Thinking of this, Dottore already had the idea of transmitting the knowledge he had acquired to other Dottore segments through the Teyvat Forum. He felt that, at least after his segments were hidden, he would have enough time to conduct research. Whether it was research on Xianzhou Aurumaton technology or research on Rubert I's Anti-Life Equation. Thinking of the knowledge he had touched in the Simulated Universe before, Dottore couldn't suppress the excitement of wanting to research as soon as possible.
"You don't need to look so worried." Lord Takagi put his hand on Dottore's shoulder and said with a smile: "Although you are not the type of person I admire or like, but you are a passenger who earned your ticket through strength after all. As long as you don't scheme against me, I won't stop what you do. However, in order not to let my reputation in Teyvat decline because of you, that's why I chose to speak up and remind everyone in Teyvat. After that, whether they organize against you is their own business."
Hearing this, Dottore breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least for now, Lord Takagi is neutral. Even if Lord Takagi might not provide protection during this journey through the Universe, but for Dottore, who has many segments, this is nothing.
Lord Takagi smiled, turned his head, and glanced at the Teyvat Forum. "I saw some Fontainians saying that Rubert was a mechanical life form, so it's unlikely that organic life could master the Anti-Life Equation. I think it's best for everyone not to hold such an idea."
(Navia: Is... is it possible that the Anti-Life Equation could be mastered by humans?)
Lord Takagi said as he walked forward: "Knowledge is knowledge; even the knowledge created by mechanical life forms has the possibility of being mastered by organic life forms. If that weren't the case, Rubert II, an organic life form, wouldn't have been able to master the Anti-Life Equation developed by Rubert I."
Lisa: "Rubert II?! Lord Takagi, weren't the two Machine Wars started by the same person?"
Dottore: "Organic life can master the Anti-Life Equation!"
Nahida and Cloud Retainer looked at Lord Takagi in surprise, and Dottore also instantly became interested.
"Indeed, they were not the same person. Rubert II claimed to have inherited all the memories and knowledge of Rubert I. After Rubert II died, the IPC completely dissected Rubert II's body. The final conclusion the IPC reached was that Rubert II was a pure organic life form."
Lord Takagi shrugged and looked at Cloud Retainer's camera with a smile. "So, everyone in Fontaine had better not hold the idea that organic life cannot master the Anti-Life Equation. If you don't want your country's clockwork meka to rebel one day, you need to be more careful. Oh, and a certain someone in Inazuma had better be a little careful as well. If one day you are truly harmed by your country's machines, puppets, or whatever, because you thought organic life couldn't master the Anti-Life Equation, that would be too sad."
(Lyney: As expected, we need to keep a close eye on this Dottore.)
(Navia: It's hard not to agree.)
(Kujou Sara: Why did Lord Takagi mention Inazuma? Inazuma doesn't have clockwork meka like Fontaine!)
(Yae Miko: Although there are no clockwork meka, there is something infinitely more powerful than clockwork meka.)
(Sangonomiya Kokomi: Does Inazuma have such a dangerous existence?)
(Raiden Shogun: ...)
(Dainsleif: The Anti-Life Equation should also be effective against the machines left behind by Khaenri'ah. If the Anti-Life Equation truly appears in Teyvat, the countries that need to worry will not be limited to Fontaine and Inazuma, which Lord Takagi mentioned. However, for Dottore with an intelligence of merely 3, even researching a simplified version of the Anti-Life Equation that could affect Teyvat would likely not be an easy task.)
(Kaeya: Yeah, after all, intelligence is just...)
(Nilou: So, we don't need to worry too much, right?)
(La Signora: Intelligence of 3! Heh, how delightful!)
...
"Intelligence of 3!" Dottore clenched his fists, struggling to suppress the feeling of grievance in his heart.
Lord Takagi glanced at Dottore and reminded him: "Although it doesn't matter if you continue to look like this, but if you don't want to die here, it's best to remain vigilant from now on."
Hearing this, Dottore immediately looked up at Lord Takagi: "Lord Takagi, what do you mean?"
Lord Takagi shrugged and looked towards the ceiling: "The Antimatter Legion has launched an invasion of the Space Station. And this time, a considerable number of the Antimatter Legion have come. Next, you might face combat at any time. I told you, for this second trip, I might not be providing security services."
Dottore: "!!"
Lisa: "The Antimatter Legion has invaded the Space Station?!"
(La Signora: That's right! I've been fighting these annoying guys for a while now.)
(Paimon: La Signora is actually fighting the Antimatter Legion?)
(Tartaglia: Pretty impressive, La Signora, you dare to fight so many Antimatter Legion warriors by yourself?)
(Arlecchino: And, you even have the leisure to follow the forum and chat?)
(La Signora: Heh, I have Lord Takagi's Light Cone in my hand, and two of them! You don't know how exhilarating it is to fight using these Light Cones!)
(Lumine: Tell me more about how exhilarating it is... No, Takagi actually gave you Light Cones, and two of them?!)
(La Signora: Hehe, envious, aren't you! With these two Light Cones, my firepower has increased several times! And even if I get injured, my injuries can heal instantly. Since I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I can naturally follow the forum and pay attention to what's happening with Lord Takagi. This feeling is truly wonderful.)
(Columbina: Takagi would actually give La Signora Light Cones? Did you wear black stockings or white stockings to show Takagi your charm?)
(Dori: Wearing black stockings or white stockings can get you Light Cones? Hiss, I'm tempted.)
(Takagi: Just lending them to her so she can represent me in helping the Space Station.)
(Paimon: What, it's a loan.)
(Columbina: What a pity! La Signora, do you really not consider wearing white or black stockings to show your charm? Maybe you could keep the Light Cone.)
(La Signora: ...These two Light Cones don't align with my Path of The Hunt.)
(Columbina: Is that so, what a pity.)
...
Dottore, Lisa, and the others immediately became vigilant when they heard Lord Takagi mention the Antimatter Legion. As if to prove what Lord Takagi had said, a circular spatial teleportation channel suddenly appeared in the direction of the ceiling. Several Voidrangers leaped out from it, charging directly towards Lord Takagi and the others.
However, the Voidrangers that rushed out from the spatial channel were just the most ordinary Voidrangers. Lord Takagi didn't even need to act; the Voidrangers were already dealt with by Lisa, Cloud Retainer, and Dottore. Having said that, the hearts of the Teyvat passengers and Lisa's group who witnessed this scene couldn't calm down because of it.
Lisa: "Voidrangers really appeared, and they are living Voidrangers!"
Cloud Retainer: "Like the Voidrangers frozen in ice in Belobog, they can actually invade Herta Space Station. What on earth happened there?"
Dottore: "I remember Lord Takagi saying that Herta Space Station has a Stellaron. Could it be that the Stellaron attracted them?"
Saying this, Dottore looked at Lord Takagi, clearly wanting to get an answer from him. But Lord Takagi had no intention of answering Dottore's question.
"Not bad, your strength is sufficient to handle these scattered Voidrangers. If you don't encounter large numbers of Voidrangers or powerful Voidrangers, your life safety can be guaranteed. However, this does not mean you have absolute safety."
As Lord Takagi spoke, he led everyone to a place with a window where they could see the universe. Dottore, Cloud Retainer, and Lisa came to Lord Takagi's side and were immediately stunned by the scene before them. Outside what seemed like an energy shield surrounding Herta Space Station, countless Voidrangers stood in the void, constantly attacking the energy shield. Even though the Space Station's defensive weapons were continuously attacking the Voidrangers, they didn't have much effect against the countless Voidrangers.
"How can there be so many Voidrangers?!" Nahida murmured to herself, her heart filled with surprise.
"This is so much more than the frozen Voidrangers we saw in Belobog," Cloud Retainer said with a frown.
"Remember what I said before? The Antimatter Legion rarely sends a small number of warriors to invade a place. Generally, it's large armies that invade," Lord Takagi said.
(Paimon: But isn't this too many? How many tens of thousands of Voidrangers are there!)
(Barbara: Are they trying to destroy the planet below the Space Station?)
(Dehya: It's terrifying. I can understand why Belobog's first Supreme Guardian was so desperate that she ended up using the power of the Stellaron. There's no way to fight so many Voidrangers.)
(Candace: Moreover, Yarilo-VI doesn't have the technology that Herta Space Station possesses, so it would be even harder for them to deal with the Legion.)
