They're hugging and kissing someone!
Am I dreaming? How could something this absurd possibly happen in the real world? How could such a monster, capable of causing absolute catastrophe and destroying the world, possibly be embracing a man?
As a survivor of the Second Honkai Impact, Raven, who became the protagonist of an orphanage where her family was destroyed, immediately suspected the video sent by Gray Serpent.
—Subconsciously searching for flaws on the screen (Part 2) Jiu Ling V 厁VIII Qi Yi San She saw the value in the lower left corner again.
——4000H Lu) Jiuqiaba Lingsi Lingwu-W
"[Siberian profanity]!"
"Even the Herrscher of the Void back then didn't have this much power."
"A thousand is enough to create a Herrscher, so this value of four thousand... could the detector be broken?"
Raven once thought of herself as a very refined, easy-going, and dignified person. Even as a killer, she was like a real night raven, leaving only her feathers behind and dressed in black as a cold-blooded assassin.
They act solely in the darkness, following their mission with a single, decisive strike, taking the money and leaving without uttering a single extra word.
Even if this cold-blooded assassin actually uses multiple aliases to make money by dominating the top spots on the assassin rankings.
She would even take on the task of killing another persona, exchanging a large sum of money for stopping that persona's actions—despite this, she considered herself to be a relatively cold and arrogant killer.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized she wasn't being indifferent; it was simply because she hadn't encountered anything that would make her lose her composure.
Now we've encountered it.
What I encountered was truly extraordinary.
His mouth was agape as if it were about to dislocate, and his eyes were bulging out—it was as if he had stumbled into the world of a comedy manga.
The problem is that even knowing they look funny, they can't control their emotions at all.
He couldn't stop himself from talking.
He couldn't close his eyes either.
They couldn't even move their eyes.
Unable to stop staring at the Herrscher in the image.
Ah, the dance ended, the rainbow umbrella group...
In the video, you can even see a glimpse of the Herrscher's eyes—eyes that can perhaps only be described as clear as a thunderous clear sky. But what they contain is not the majesty of a god or the arrogance of someone looking down on someone. Instead, they contain the sweetness of a young girl, the sweetness of being intimate with her lover.
This level of shock is not just about one or two people; it's about everyone who witnesses this scene, everyone who knows the true nature of the Herrscher, being so shocked that they can't control their expressions and even doubt that they're dreaming.
At least Dr. Jackal was no longer able to conduct any experiments. He didn't even notice when the reagent in his hand fell to the ground, and could only stare wide-eyed at the screen the whole time.
There was no longer any arrogance of scholars, no longer any madness of mad scientists, no longer any coldness of beautiful scholars; all of these vanished at this moment as if by prior agreement.
Yu Tu was someone who only turned on the screen because she had free time, and didn't actually accept any tasks randomly.
"The Lawyer..."
Are all life forms this strange?
She recalled the posture of the Second Herrscher—Sirin—that was originally not part of her memories.
Even Yu Tu couldn't give a precise answer.
Hesitant and stammering...
It has no penchant for teasing others, nor is it as humorous as it appears; even a little rabbit would be shocked to the point of rolling its eyes.
And I was curious, genuinely curious, about something that far surpassed Mistelin's accumulated knowledge... I even had a urge to spy on it.
At this moment, the entire World Serpent organization was brought to a standstill.
Because it's impossible.
The Herrscher who was captured by another.
In all the history written on this land so far, there has never been a Herrscher who has been defeated, not even among all the Herrschers who fought for her.
The only one that could still move, the only one that still had some mobility, was the initially shocked gray snake.
Perhaps because it is essentially mechanical, the system malfunctioned due to the shock.
That doesn't prevent those who are responsible from raising questions immediately.
"River……"
"Lord Jiangcheng."
Will you still come to World Snake?
……
……
If the boy was once a unique holder of the Holy Mark, then with proper training he could become a Valkyrie of the S-rank, equivalent to destiny.
In a world where, both openly and covertly, there are probably no more than five usable S-class units.
Jiang Cheng, being a talented individual, is someone who must be won over, especially after witnessing the arrival of the Herrscher of Thunder, and finding that almost no one in the world can handle this Herrscher.
The Key of Erosion is indeed important, but there are more than just one or two Keys of God, and the reserves of World Serpent are not that scarce. In comparison, the people who can use the Keys of God are more important.
Even if Jiang Cheng cannot join the World Serpent, he must undergo sufficient training to serve as one of the few remaining combatants in times of disaster, supporting humanity for a period of time before the Lord's return. This is why the Gray Serpent chose to come in person without knowing Jiang Cheng's name at all.
It's not just because of the Key of God, but more importantly, before the Lord's plan can proceed, humanity must not be brought to its end due to the devastation caused by Otto's blows.
It doesn't matter which faction or organization you're from, as long as you come to receive training. At worst, you'll be thrown out after the training and everyone can go back to their own homes.
After all, compared to the potential risks, Grey Serpent finds it hard to understand why anyone in the world would not cherish the combination of a Stigmata holder and a Divine Key.
Let alone the current situation where there are not many usable soldiers in the world, even if the Lord begins to implement the plan, the Stigmata holders are also important participants. They are beings that cannot be tolerated to continue to be wasted, and cannot be allowed to wander outside no matter where they end up.
Jiang Cheng is an important person, someone who must be trained into a powerful warrior no matter what—this was Gray Serpent's initial assessment.
Only now does he realize that his evaluation was far too superficial and hasty.
It's beyond the point where training is needed.
It's not to the point where we can tolerate everyone going back to their own homes.
must.
absolute.
Jiangcheng must stay in the world of snakes!
Therefore, any request can be granted—as long as the minimum requirement of allowing Jiang Cheng and his lover to stay in the World Serpent is met.
There's no need to stay; all it takes is a trip to Paradise. Even the Lord would likely spare no expense to achieve this goal.
Although the reasons for standing on the side of humanity are somewhat unique, I'm sure Lady Alicia can understand them.
Because this was the first Herrscher who appeared before him, someone he could approach and who wouldn't destroy the world.
He did not die for any reason, was not killed by conspiracy, and was not too late to save. He is a living Herrscher standing on the side of humanity.
It was precisely because of this unwavering reason that Gray Serpent began to do everything in its power to win her over—offering all sorts of conditions even when Jiang Cheng hadn't uttered a single word and was still embracing Raiden Mei.
Even the boy had to stop.
So luxurious.
Those conditions.
It's like being an emperor, or even a retired emperor, or a supreme emperor in the real world... You don't have to bear the responsibilities of an emperor, but you can have the rights of an emperor.
The rights and privileges that were once unthinkable were now being thrown away by the Gray Serpent like trash, and even the most insignificant one of them was enough to make a person the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel.
If the original plan was to go to World Serpent and immediately gain the rights of an executive due to his talent and the Divine Key, and then enter the paradise to find the deepest part of Aponia after a little training, then now the share he can occupy is even higher than that of a single executive.
—Your Excellency.
These two words appeared in my mind.
Only these two words can describe the right we have at this moment.
of course.
Jiang Cheng knew that this right was not for him.
It's Raiden Mei.
He is the ruler of thunder.
Even after Kevin has appeared and the plot has progressed to the mid-to-late stages, when theoretically a single Herrscher and their strength are no longer so outstanding, they will still be Herrschers personally recruited by Kevin. In order to fulfill Alicia's wish, they must find Herrschers who fight for humanity, or at least stand on the side of humanity, and who possess humanity and are not bound by Honkai.
Originally, upon receiving this promise, the boy would have undoubtedly agreed immediately without hesitation. The problem is that he is no longer alone...
Do not……
I will not be a burden to you.
This is the heartfelt message from the girl who is right next to me.
“I will follow you, a prophet like you… no, if it is you, I will choose any path.”
"I've already said that you can contact me to confirm whenever you want. I won't get annoyed or tired of it."
This is the promise Raiden Mei made—
Word by word.
In those prismatic eyes, which even the bright sunlight couldn't match, the only thing one could sense was earnestness, the earnestness that—no matter what choice you make, I will follow you to the very end.
It wasn't because of trust.
So follow the habits you've built up from your past successes.
It's not because you're a prophet.
Therefore, we choose to believe that we know more and can see further.
These are all external factors, products of Jiang Cheng himself. All that he is doing now is simply because you are you.
You are Jiangcheng.
That's enough.
At this point, the boy had no further reason to refuse.
"it is good."
He stared at the gray snake, who had completely given up on pretense and was now putting on an air of mystery and aloofness, like a hermit who said things like, "You're not important, the World Serpent is great."
"I'm joining World Serpent, but I have one more request."
"What."
"Prepare to take over destiny."
His voice sounded cold only at this moment.
Looking down from this vantage point, the space felt strangely vast.
The previous ordinariness and ordinariness seemed to be just a disguise, but at this moment, all the disguise has been torn off, revealing the illusion of being superior.
"I'm too lazy to hide anything from you, so you should know that my perspective is unusual. You've already heard quite a bit, so I'll just lay it all out now."
“Aponia… I possess a similar ability to that Discipline Hero, I can also see the future, but I am relatively stronger, I can see the past and the future.”
“I know about the Stigmata Project you are going to carry out, I know all of Kevin’s purposes, I know the reason for your existence, the creation of Mebius, and I know how to cross the Cocoon of the End, the origin of the Herrscher’s humanity, and the reason why you are in such a hurry to take Mei—the Herrscher of Thunder—to Paradise.”
"Therefore, I absolutely cannot tolerate Otto living in this world where there is still hope. Mei has caught up with me, so the responsibility of fighting against Otto will fall on my shoulders."
……
……
……
You've told me all these things—Grey Snake could hardly contain his urge to ask.
Perhaps because he had been living among humans for too long, he, as a mechanical creation, had acquired some of the bad habits of humans.
For example, they become incomprehensible, difficult to communicate with, and unable to fully express their needs, resorting to riddles instead of solutions. This leads to problems that could be solved with a single sentence being addressed through numerous roundabout methods, using the least efficient means to accomplish the most important tasks.
However, it is not necessary.
Because I've already seen those eyes.
Resolute, determined... as if he had suddenly been burdened with a pressure as heavy as Mount Tai, forcing his previously relaxed expression to become firm and composed.
