The Best Hunters Often...
"By the way, could you let a few Herrscher from the current civilization in? Or would you like to chat with me?"
"No problem, they're on standby anyway, I can ask who's interested."
Imaginary Archive didn't really want to chat with Liu Bai.
Before long, several people appeared in the palace.
Liu Bai scanned the room; it was all women...
"Master——~!"
Upon seeing Liu Bai, the Herrscher of Corruption Alisa, dressed in a maid outfit, rushed towards him as if she had met a family member.
Being surrounded by two Herrscher of Domination is terrifying!
Well, since the number of Stasis Pod is limited, it's impossible to bring in all of the more than a thousand people, so only one representative was selected. Anyway, it's a game, so it doesn't really rely on real-world powers; it all uses special effects.
But another problem arose: Alisa also had a Herrscher of Domination in her mind, and in the observation room of the waiting room, Alisa was sandwiched between two Herrscher of Domination...
"Tsk, vixen."
Shibao looked displeased.
"Don't you think so, Sirin?"
"Teacher~ I miss you so much~"
Sirin completely ignored Shibao and snuggled into Liu Bai's arms with a girlish look on her face.
Because of the reading consciousness, these people who were paired up in real life were all separated in the game.
"Teacher, you've been flirting around with other women these past few days and haven't come to see me and Kiana. My sister has already eaten twice, so you can't be biased towards one another."
Nestled into Liu Bai, Sirin began to act sweetly and coquettishly, showing no trace of what Herrscher should be like... Well, in the current environment, let's not talk about "what Herrscher should be like".
"Hey! You two, that's enough! Don't cause any more trouble for Teacher Liu!"
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
Startled, Alisa bowed repeatedly in apology.
"Ah... well, it doesn't have to be like this." Alisa's words made Shibao, who was about to get angry, feel guilty. "Hey! Sirin! Don't think I didn't see you making faces!"
"What's wrong with your master's wife making a face at you? (Just kidding~)"
As Shibao's eyelids twitched. "Master's wife? How dare you say that!"
I think you're asking for trouble!
However, Sirin didn't care at all and started to push her luck, clinging to Liu Bai as if to say, "Go ahead and try to tear me off Liu Bai if you dare!"
Last time, Kiana, that weakling, only cared about her own pleasure and didn't consider her feelings at all. Sirin was extremely unhappy about that.
Sirin almost broke off her relationship with Kiana afterward, leading to a scenario where the Queen of the Void would return.
Okay, if this happens for this reason, the title of Queen of the Void will lose its prestige... although it's not very common now anyway.
So now that she can legitimately kick Kiana out, Sirin is thrilled.
Then, while hanging up, Sirin awkwardly and secretly undressed herself—this was a seduction technique she had learned from Kiana.
Everyone present was a woman, so there was nothing to be shy about, and Anna was the furthest away from them.
"The Alliance Leader is so popular..." Wendy was a little envious, but she was a good girl and wouldn't do something so shameless.
However, after Sirin undressed halfway, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Touching his chest, he found that the area that should have been exposed was wrapped in several layers of white cloth.
"Hey! What's going on?!"
Sirin got off Liu Bai and pointed to the white cloth on her chest, asking the Imaginary Archive.
"What's going on?" Imaginary Archive revealed a contemptuous look as if looking at an idiot, waved his hand, and Gretel appeared on the small screen who was watching the game. "This game is for all ages and will not contain any inappropriate content - that's all."
"Is there anything more detrimental than destroying the world?!"
"Hmm~~ If someone is willing to beg me for help, I might be able to lend them a hand."
At this moment, Shibao arrogantly lifted her proud breasts.
Imaginary Archive: "..."
Okay, as programs that operate based on consciousness, some people are just born cheat codes...
However, isn't it a bit too much for you to use this to deceive yourself and oppose censorship?
Chapter 587 The best hunters are often...
"Lord of the Herrscher of Sentience! Please help me!"
Then, to Shibao's surprise, Sirin didn't put on airs at all and came over to cling to his leg.
"Wait, wait, wait, is it really that serious?"
This obsequious behavior left Shibao completely bewildered once again.
"Is it really necessary?" Sirin released Shibao's leg, repeated the question, and revealed a slight sneer. "When you experience the situation where it's clearly your turn, Fu Hua is still saying 'wait, wait, wait,' and in the end Fu Hua gets all the fun, and you can only pick up the afterglow from your consciousness, then you'll know whether it's really necessary or not."
"Ugh... Is Kiana really that awful?"
Upon hearing Sirin's description, Shibao couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
"But Fu Hua shouldn't have gone that far, right?"
Whether something is excessive or not, you only know after experiencing it—I know it anyway.
Sirin looked annoyed. "Alright, come and help me, take this white cloth off my chest."
"No, why should I help you seduce Teacher Liu?"
"You broke your promise?" Sirin raised her eyebrows, finally displaying some of the imposing aura befitting the Queen of the Void.
"What do you mean by breaking my promise? I only said 'maybe I can help you.' Do you understand what a lottery is? You drew 'thank you for your patronage'!"
Shibao puffed out her chest—she had to admit, she was persuaded by Sirin.
What if that old hag Fu Hua becomes shameless? Breaking even now doesn't seem so bad.
In any case, as a Herrscher of Sentience, she can accept this spiritual communion; in fact, spiritual communion is more liberating for her.
"I didn't call you here to cause trouble..." Liu Bai's lips twitched. "Can't you do something serious?"
"Is this... a serious matter?" Shibao wasn't the stubborn type. Hearing Liu Bai's words, he immediately put down what he was thinking. "Teacher Liu, do you want to win this game? Send me! I can definitely defeat them all!"
"Is it Shibao...?" Liu Bai glanced at the Shibao and then at his own little maid.
If we're talking about the first Herrscher, he'd lean towards Corruption, since Corruption is the kind of thing that's hard to suppress with conventional methods, and more importantly, Corruption doesn't Companion Honkai Beast.
In the normal timeline, how are the Herrscher of Sentience countered?
The Companion Honkai Beast was killed first, and then Su used this gene to become Fusion Warrior to stop the Herrscher of Sentience. Otherwise, the Herrscher of Sentience could have wiped out the entire Moth Chasers to Fire in one fell swoop.
It's practically a certainty that the Herrscher of Sentience will make a proper appearance, especially in the form of Great Honkai, accompanied by Emperor-Class Honkai Beast.
Mobius also possesses knowledge and skills. If the game were to judge, this late-stage technology would likely be considered "initial technology" at present. At most, the success rate would be slightly lower due to limitations in equipment. If anyone could perform Hypermutation Surgery on someone with rudimentary equipment, it would probably only be Mobius.
"Master, is there something you need?"
Alisa felt uneasy under Liu Bai's gaze.
"Um... I... can I not go fight? I don't know how to fight at all."
"You won't die. It's just a game. Only the game character will die. It won't even hurt," Liu Bai reassured him.
This girl, as a Herrscher, is incredibly cowardly.
"This..." After a brief hesitation, Alisa reluctantly agreed, "Since you've said so, Master, then... then I'll go."
Yes, because she could already feel two gazes warning her that if she didn't choose now, she wouldn't feel pain, but she would suffer later—she would never forget the Herrscher of Domination's malicious gaze in her lifetime.
"No rush, let's wait."
This is a real-time strategy game; in the time it takes for a few people to chat, half a week has already passed in the in-game world events.
But it's still a long way from a month.
"By the way, Wendy and Anna, when did you two get back?"
"Last night," Wendy replied obediently.
Their previous mission was to hunt down the Herrscher of Domination, but now that the Herrscher of Domination is an ally, they no longer have a mission.
During this period, Wendy mainly helped Anna with the matter of comforting the relatives of those who were killed years ago. She was busy until last night, and then stayed at Ragna's place for one night, taking the opportunity to learn about the current situation of Schicksal.
Anna stayed overnight in Cecilia's, where she was asked a bunch of questions.
Of course, the core issue is whether she has feelings for Liu Bai...
There was no other way; Anna was, after all, her niece, and her parents had passed away, so Cecilia couldn't just abandon her.
But as relatives, there's not much we can do to help each other—of course, this is also because Cecilia and Anna aren't exactly close.
So Cecilia's most convenient idea was to marry the girl off and have her family contribute a dowry.
Then after going around once... okay, let's not go around once. Among all these people, Liu Bai is the only one who is interested in getting married.
Fortunately, it was Liu Bai who had given away three daughters, so Cecilia didn't feel any guilt about giving away another niece.
However, Anna felt a little numb. As for Liu Bai, she felt that he was a superior who loved his soldiers like his own children and was worthy of her respect and loyalty. After all, they had only met once—although she felt a spiritual rebirth after that meeting.
But moving directly into romantic feelings is still too fast...
Fortunately, Cecilia knew that such important life events couldn't be rushed, and told her not to rush and to take her time to think about it; a year or two wouldn't be a problem.
Then, the relationships were completely sorted out. For example, now Sirin and Kiana need to call Anna "cousin," while Anna needs to call Bianka" cousin."
—By the way, the oldest one here is actually Sirin, from birth to death and then "reborn" with Kiana's birth. However, it seems that no one, including Sirin herself, has realized this. Sirin herself calls Bianka" older sister" quite happily.
Of course, besides the relationship between the sisters, there is also the ancestor Elinor.
It has to be said that the fact that everyone from her sisters to her ancestors had close ties with Liu Bai greatly shook Anna.
"How was last night?" Liu Bai didn't ask about Anna's situation; she knew what was going on in her own life.
"... Fine? Probably?"
Wendy really didn't expect so many things to happen in Schicksal during this time... Well, the main thing is that Liu Bai slept with so-and-so one day, for xx hours.
The awakening of the Previous Era's guardians has little impact on the vast majority of Valkyrie; it just means a few more powerful teammates.
Rather than discussing Flame-Chasers, the Valkyrie of Schicksal are now living off Liu Bai's gossip, and Ragna is one of the leading figures among the Valkyrie.
She spent a night with her teacher and has already been added to a fan group...
"What you're saying sounds like you're practically saying 'I have something I can't say'—plus it's related to me, right?"
Liu Bai glanced at Wendy's expression and curled his lip.
Wendy could only give a demure and shy smile.
"Alright, get some food and drinks. You guys can say whatever you want."
As Liu Bai spoke, he reached out and ruffled Sirin's hair into a mess.
This girl dares to complain about anything in public; she deserves a beating.
As Liu Bai finished speaking, a large dining table filled with snacks and drinks appeared in the room.
"Although it won't really fill you up, it's still good to have a taste." Imaginary Archive remained cold.
"I've noticed Kevin and Sue have been acting a bit suspiciously lately. I wonder what kind of trouble they're up to now."
While they were talking at the dinner table, Shibao seemed to remember something and made a complaint.
"And it seems like we haven't seen Vil-V for a long time either. I wonder what she's up to. The last time I saw her was when Mobius was causing trouble."
These people are all incredibly troublesome.
"That's alright, it would be better if these guys just stayed well-behaved—"
"Father, the time has come. Please choose your Herrscher." Imaginary Archive reminded him at the opportune moment.
"Is it time? Alisa!" Liu Bai called out to Alisa, who was holding her soda and potato chips, immersed in her blissful otaku lifestyle.
