Let me make it clear first, I have absolutely no other feelings for you. A-Quan is better looking, more obedient, and cuter than you. You're just A-Quan's substitute, okay?

Kiana blushed immediately after Bai Xun said that.

A girl's blush speaks louder than words.jpg

Even if what he said earlier was just a joke, Bai Xun's words were still too aggressive for a young girl.

What makes me inferior to that lazy spring spirit who only knows how to play games? Doesn't I have any appeal to Bai Xun at all, that would make him say such a thing?

Kiana was unusually furious!

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! I'm going to show you what Kaslana Superwoman is all about!"

"Kiana, stop acting crazy here."

Mei pulled Kiana back from her rubbing her hands together, eager for a showdown with Hakuhiro in the Imperial City, and steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Bai Xun, are you planning to activate the Herrscher Core within Kiana in your world to help her defeat the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void?"

"Yes, otherwise it would be too much trouble for you to go through the Queen's Arrival storyline all over again."

Bai Xun nodded and continued to explain.

"Moreover, the Cocoon of the End cannot reach the world I live in, so the Herrscher of the Void's strength will be greatly weakened. Even if we fail to persuade her verbally, we can still try to convince her with reason."

"Please forgive my presumption, but do you wish to persuade a lawyer with reason through words?"

Upon hearing that Bai Xun actually wanted to persuade a Herrscher, Gray Serpent, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer.

The Lawbringer is the enemy of civilization; this is the message that was written into the underlying code of him from the moment he was created by Mebius.

The disaster caused by the Second Herrscher is still fresh in people's minds, and now Bai Xun actually wants to reason with the Herrscher of the Void, which seems a bit too outrageous to Grey Serpent.

But Bai Xun laughed upon hearing this.

"Why not? It's good if we can persuade Kong Lu with reason. If she doesn't listen, we can just keep punching her until she listens to reason with me, right?"

Gray Snake: "6"

"Little gray snake, I told you, this is not something you should be concerned about."

Mebius glanced at the Gray Serpent who had spoken without permission, and his slightly cold voice made the Gray Serpent immediately lower its head and dare not speak again.

Mebius, on the other hand, raised his head slightly and stared intently at Bai Xun.

"Manager, let's set off. Let me witness what future Herrschers will truly look like."

Although Izumi can be considered a Herrscher, in Mebius's eyes, Izumi is a bit too...abstract and cannot be viewed in a normal way.

If all the Herrschers encountered in the previous civilization were like Izumi, then the current civilization probably wouldn't have a chance.

"Mei, give me a V!"

Haku Xun waved his phone at Mei.

"My phone can connect across the world. When the time comes, just use the Silver Key to send me your message."

"As expected of you, you even thought of this."

Because of her experience in the God's Space, Mei had reached the point where she could find a reason to explain whatever Bai Xun said, so she didn't ask any more questions. After exchanging contact information with Bai Xun, she quietly watched Bai Xun and Mebius's figures disappear before her eyes.

Contrary to the expected tragic farewell, this could not even be called a separation, but only a temporary parting.

So she wasn't sad, just inexplicably feeling a bit sentimental.

Raiden Mei gripped the silver key tightly, silently watching the spot where Hakuhiro had disappeared.

Death could not separate them, and as long as she held the Silver Key tightly, even time and space could not separate them... She had forever turned what she thought would only be a fleeting, childish fantasy into reality, and held it in her hands forever.

Kiana originally wanted to take the opportunity to say something to Raiden Mei, but seeing the firm and longing look in Raiden Mei's eyes as she stared at the spot where Hakuhiro had disappeared, she ultimately closed her slightly open mouth.

He then ran to Bronya, who was still bidding farewell to her cowardice in front of Cocolia's ashes, patted the double-helixed duck on the shoulder, pointed towards Mei, and sighed.

"See? That's the consequence of being infected by Bai Xun. I'm a complete loser now. You'd better watch out so your little sister Xi'er doesn't get overwhelmed by Bai Xun too."

Bronya: "Huh?!!"

................................................

Meanwhile, on Bai Xun's side...

Bai Xun first called A Quan to teleport himself and Mebius back to Mei's house to reunite with her and Texas, and then returned to his loyal, unholy Terra through the Silver Key Gate.

"Finally home!"

Upon returning, Ah Quan seemed to have exhausted all her strength, collapsing onto the sofa and lazily waving her little hand.

"Although I didn't do anything today, I still worked hard."

Upon returning to the unholy Terra, Texas subtly felt that her "homeland" was different from other worlds.

It was as if this world possessed some kind of essence that allowed her to immerse herself in it more deeply, a feeling of immersion and integration that she couldn't experience in Honkai Impact 3.

However, she didn't think too much about it, but instead asked the question that concerned her now.

"Are you going to call Mei over here directly?"

"Please wait for about ten minutes."

Bai Xun, having returned home, stretched and yawned softly.

"After all, it will take some time for us to return to the real world from the Main God Space, right?"

Upon hearing Bai Xun bring this up again, Texas couldn't help but speak up.

Aren't you afraid that Mei will one day discover the truth?

"What truth? Even if the God Realm is fake, are the memories of fighting side by side and spending every day together in it also fake?"

"That's true..."

Texas nodded slightly, agreeing with Bai Xun's words, and then stopped asking about it.

When Bai Xun sat down on the sofa, A Quan slightly raised his leg to make room for him. Only after Bai Xun was seated did he put his leg on A Quan's leg and continue playing on his phone, without any awkwardness.

Before long, Bai Xun felt that the time was about right, so he sent a message to Mei to open the Silver Key Gate and bring Kiana to the agency. At Bai Xun's signal, A-Quan, who was lying on the sofa, also waved his little hand helplessly and teleported everyone to a wilderness dozens of kilometers away from the Lungmen Channel.

"This place is so desolate!"

Kiana stood atop a giant rock, gazing into the distance, only to find a desolate wilderness before her.

Not just any uninhabited wilderness on Earth, but a true wilderness where even vegetation and animals are almost nonexistent.

"There's nothing we can do. The natural environment in Terra is really not good. It can't compare to Earth."

Bai Xun gave a casual explanation, but after thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't quite Terra-esque enough, so he changed his wording.

"The suffering on this land is far beyond your imagination. Natural disasters relentlessly ravage this land, robbing it of the life that should belong to it. In order to survive on this land, people even have to live on giant mobile cities that are constantly moving to avoid natural disasters. This land really can devour people."

Kiana listened for a long time, and all she could feel was that Bai Xun's every sentence contained the phrase "this land".

She didn't understand and wasn't interested in it; instead, she eagerly clenched her little fists and looked at Bai Xun.

"What is Gulu saying? When do we start? I can't wait to obtain the power of the Herrscher of the Void!"

"Since you've already asked for it yourself."

Seeing Kiana's expectant face, Bai Xun couldn't help but chuckle, then slightly raised his right hand and called out,

"Ah Quan, do it!"

"Hey?!"

While Kiana was somewhat bewildered, the Spring Spirit activated the Oath of Judah in her hand. A dozen thick chains instantly sprang out from Judah, binding Kiana tightly to the cross. If three more holes were hammered into her, she could easily cosplay as Jesus.

Kiana's expression immediately changed, and she hurriedly exclaimed,

"This...this isn't right. Aren't we supposed to be dealing with the Herrscher of the Void? Why are you tying me up?!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you the Herrscher of the Void? If I don't tie you up, who else should I tie up?"

"what?"

After Bai Xun pointed it out, Kiana realized that it seemed to make sense.

But next we need to move on to persuading her with reason. If the Herrscher of the Void is tough enough, wouldn't I be the one getting beaten up?

How can that work!

After figuring this out, Kiana, with tears in her eyes, began to beg Mei for help.

"Mei, save me! Hakuhiro tied me up, he must want to play bondage!"

To her surprise, Mei simply shook her head emotionlessly, steadfastly supporting everything Hakuhiro did.

"Kiana, these are all necessary sacrifices. How can you obtain the power of a Herrscher without paying any price?"

Bai Xun couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Kiana's fussy behavior, and then stepped forward and slapped Kiana's rather large chest.

He unleashed the power of the Goat God and slapped Kiana's soul directly out of her body, leaving Kiana, who was floating in mid-air, staring in disbelief at her semi-transparent soul.

"Holy crap, I've turned into a ghost!"

"You're not dead yet. This is just a little trick of mine."

Haku pulled Kiana to his side so that he could use the power of the Goat God to protect her soul in case of any accidents. Kiana's body, having lost her soul, drooped helplessly and became unresponsive.

Her even breathing and slightly rising and falling chest made her look exactly like a lifelike doll.

"Ah, as expected of me, I'm just like Sleeping Beauty."

Kiana, who was floating behind Haku Xun like a ghost, looked at her sleeping face and sighed rather narcissistically.

"You know what, she's really pretty just by looking at her face."

Bai Xun carefully examined Kiana's soulless body and nodded in agreement with her words.

This immediately made Kiana beam with joy.

"See? See? You finally realize how charming I am!"

Kiana initially thought that Bai Xun had finally discovered her charm, but thankfully, her joy was short-lived as Bai Xun's next words gave her another sharp retort.

"So you look so good even lying here, but why don't you have any charm when you're awake? What's the problem?"

"It's so hard to guess, isn't it, Kiana?"

"You're insulting me indirectly again, aren't you!"

Kiana frowned in displeasure, understanding Bai Xun's implied meaning, but she was currently just a soul and couldn't do anything about it.

So all he could do was get angry in a fit of rage.

Then he continued to watch as the Spring Spirit placed her hand on her chest and shouted loudly,

"Hey, Herrscher Core, I command you to rotate!"

Just like the Scarlet Prisoner sealed in the black box, the Herrscher of the Void consciousness (Sirin) sleeping in Kiana's body also needs sufficient Honkai energy to awaken. The Spring Spirit, which also has the core of the Herrscher of the Void, is undoubtedly the best choice to provide this Honkai energy.

Most importantly, the Spring Spirit has sufficient control over the Honkai energy and Herrscher core within her body, so there is no possibility that the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness will absorb too much Honkai energy from her body to restore her to her full strength the moment it awakens.

Instead, like Himeko, she can only receive Honkai energy controlled by the Spring Spirit that is just enough to stimulate her awakening without requiring her to recover much power.

Stimulated by the Honkai energy from another Herrscher of the Void, Kiana's body, bound to Judah, suddenly opened her eyes. However, her originally clear blue eyes, like the sky, now shimmered with a brilliant gold, and her pupils were twisted into a magnificent cross shape.

"Huh? Is this another version of me?"

Kiana looked at herself with her golden cross-shaped eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

"What? My Herrscher form is still pretty cool~"

Unlike Kiana, who still had the leisure to chat, the Herrscher of the Void, who was suddenly awakened, looked much worse.

She's sleeping soundly inside Kiana's body. All she has to do is wait for Kiana to come into contact with other powerful Honkai sources in the future, which will stimulate the Herrscher core within her to revive. At that time, with her own power, she won't easily seize Kiana's body, collect the other Herrscher cores, and return to her peak.

Avenge the shame of the Moon War and recreate the glory of the Herrscher of the Void!

How did I suddenly get woken up?

They haven't had enough sleep yet!
