Hey, Old Man, If You Want It, Come Take It Yourself (Continued)
Most importantly, unlike the problems caused in Changkong City last time, this time Nine Nether is very secretive. Schicksal and Shenzhou accuse the Anti-Entropy anti-entropy faction without evidence, which will just end up as a war of words.
Oh no, Cocolia still committing evil deeds, but she's even trying to cover it up.
This guy is clearly a human being, so why does he keep doing things that harm humans every day?
"Ha, no matter who released this monster, we have to take action."
After glancing at the Flame-Chaser's Judgment at his waist, Siegfried seemed to have made up his mind and spoke to Theresa beside him.
"The situation hasn't gotten to its worst yet. If it dares to show itself, then we can go and deal with it."
"Use Judah to weaken its energy, then find an opportunity to escape the battlefield. The rest—leave it to me and the Flame-Chaser's Judgment!"
Looking at Siegfried, who exuded a sense of vicissitude, Theresa didn't say much. She simply nodded slightly and began to move rapidly toward Chiyou's location.
She is no longer the little girl she used to be.
Theresa now understands very well that at this moment, saying anything more is pointless.
Siegfried betrayed Schicksal, but he did not betray humanity.
When humanity needed his protection, Theresa's tedious concern seemed overly nagging.
And right now, her biggest concern isn't Siegfried.
Siegfried used the Heavenly Fire in Changkong City last time, and judging from his current complexion, he clearly doesn't seem to be in a bad state of serious injury.
A month is enough time for Siegfried has been liberated from the Flame-Chaser's Judgment, to return to his peak condition. In this case, what she should be most worried about are the children who are closer to Chiyou.
There's no other way; if we don't go all out this time, Lin Yu and the others will be in danger.
Furthermore, in a life-or-death situation, the Herrscher Persona within Kiana, Yuno, and Mei might awaken due to excessive stimulation.
If all three Herrscher descend at the same time, it won't just be the area near the Nine Nether Shenzhou will explode; the entire Shenzhou will be doomed.
To avoid the worst-case scenario, this time...
—So, the only option left is to use the Divine Prayer Barrier to suppress this Chiyou, Chi You?
Moreover, the search for Cocolia's whereabouts must be expedited.
A month ago, she attempted to blow up Changkong City.
Now she can figure out a way to blow up the area near Shenzhou Nine Nether.
I don't even dare to think about what she will do after she arrives.
The usually kind Theresa now truly felt a rare emotion stirring within her.
At this moment, she undoubtedly harbored murderous intent towards Cocolia, this human.
I feel terrible for Bronya, but if Cocolia isn't dealt with, more people will only get hurt.
So...
—Cocolia, you must die!
A few minutes ago
After using the Seven Thunders of Retribution to destroy the second seal within Chiyou's body, Raven breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the Soul Steel fragments that had fallen to the ground.
When Raven entered the Nine Nether, he really didn't expect the mission to go so smoothly.
In Raven's original plan, this time she not only had to avoid the Valkyrie of Schicksal, but also avoid being tricked by the subordinates sent by Cocolia. After finding Chiyou's body, she would go through great lengths to enter Chiyou's body and break the seal.
The actual situation was completely different from what she had imagined.
The Valkyrie of Schicksal did appear nearby, but the Valkyrie was engrossed in deciphering the mystery and didn't notice her presence at all.
Cocolia's men disappeared after failing to contact her, so there was no way they could trick her anymore.
Although Chiyou's body was hard to find, once she found it, she entered Chiyou 'Chiyou body very easily and then simply broke two seals.
It could be said that Miss Xiola, who has never had much luck, was blessed by Lady Luck today, completing the mission without encountering any difficulties at all.
However, precisely because her luck was so exceptional this time, the Raven, having completed her mission, felt a little uneasy because of this extraordinary good fortune.
In fact, all Raven needs to do next is sneak out of the entrance, find a place to wait for the Quantum Teleportation System's cooldown to end, and then he can leave this place.
But at this moment, Raven felt uneasy and sensed that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly eerie.
"Thank you, traveler in a foreign land."
"This is...!"
Hearing that sound again, the Raven looked around warily.
"Don't worry about it. You were also chosen by the Honkai, and you're the one who liberated me. I won't lay a hand on you."
"Really..."
After confirming that the voice was the same one he had heard before, Raven compared the two voices and discovered the differences in the sound.
When the Raven began preparing to break the seal, that gentle voice sounded like a helpless person pleading for the Raven's help.
But this voice now gave her a feeling of eccentricity.
"Since you helped me once and are not my enemy, let me give you a hint."
"Chiyou has awakened. If you don't get out of its body quickly... ha, inside the ancient ferocious beast, you'll probably be drained dry as it needs to absorb power after it fully awakens."
"Depend on!"
Upon hearing this, the Raven immediately began its frantic sprint towards the entrance without a word.
I knew it... I knew this mission wouldn't end well!
How could I possibly be safe inside Judgment-class Honkai Beast, or even Chiyou that has been dormant for five thousand years and can devour everything around it to strengthen itself?
Moreover, since Chiyou's body is almost completely isolated from the outside world, I estimate that if I die here, the Gray Serpent and the Jackal won't even be able to collect my body.
Oh, they probably aren't planning on collecting my body. At most, they'll be concerned about where the Third Divine Key is.
Oh well, in the end, you have to rely on yourself.
The Quantum Teleportation System hasn't cooled down yet, but it won't work here after that. Now I have to rely on myself.
I can't die here.
I've saved up almost all my funds; all I need is to get to that place...
—An island, a villa, my dream!
In its frantic run, the Raven even began to envision its bright future.
However, when she was halfway through the run, the ground beneath her feet suddenly moved.
The Raven was completely unable to maintain its balance amidst the swaying ground.
The Mercenary King, who had fallen to the ground, was even more surprised to find that she and the Third Divine Key beside her were slowly sliding backward.
"This is... Chiyou has moved?!"
I've only just broken the seal, and this behemoth...
That's true. It has been sealed for five thousand years. After it awakens, of course it will want to eat as soon as possible.
Damn it, have I become Chiyou's food too...? I can't die here!
At that moment, the Raven, which had been sliding downwards, caught the Seven Thunders of Retribution that was about to slip away and used them to pierce directly into the stone slab inside Chiyou's body.
I must live, for my dream, I absolutely must—
However, the Raven, with this idea in mind, forgot one thing.
As the Third Divine Key the divine order, the Seven Thunders of Retribution possesses a portion of the power of the Herrscher of Thunder.
Under the power of the Herrscher Core of Thunder, anything struck by the Seven Thunders of Retribution will be broken down into molecules.
Then, the Raven used the Seven Thunders of Retribution to pierce the stone ground in front of it, and was naturally something that was 'struck by the Seven Thunders of Retribution '.
The Raven envisioned—"using a katana to strike the ground and temporarily get stuck on a rock"—did not occur.
Accompanied by the Raven's ravenous shouts, one of the culprits behind this turmoil finally could not help but begin to fall into the abyss below.
Just minutes earlier, in the depths of the Nine Nether Netherworld...
Deep within the Nine Nether, Lin Yu and Kiana didn't bicker for long before resuming their usual way of getting along.
After all, Lin Yu now has to suppress the resentment on the Xuanyuan Sword after defeating Rita.
If Yuno and Kiana were to touch this holy sword that was originally entangled with resentment, their minds would most likely be corrupted by the resentment, and their bodies would be taken over by the Herrscher Persona.
But Lin Yu is different from the other two.
He doesn't have a second personality that's easy to lose control of, and he also has the Voidpower Gem Shard, an item that can resist mental attacks and defend against the erosion of resentment.
Just like now, he could feel the Xuanyuan Sword trying to influence his mind, but the Voidpower Gem Shard completely blocked the effect of this resentment.
To be honest, compared to Fu Hua's Feathered Dust, this level of resentment is really not a troublesome thing.
"Senior, are you really okay?"
Seeing Lin Yu holding a sword in one hand, Kiana walked up to Lin Yu with great suspicion, staring into Lin Yu calm and unwavering eyes.
Do I look like I have a problem?
At this moment, Lin Yu, who was gripping the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, calmly spoke to Kiana.
"This sword does have a problem, but Rita has already helped me deplete some of the sword's power."
"In this situation, it's quite easy for me to suppress it—just don't touch it!"
After gently slapping Kiana's hand away, Lin Yu suddenly said in an annoyed tone.
"Your mental state is far less stable than mine. If you make any sudden moves, I'll have to figure out how to clean up the mess later."
Yes~
After seeing the nervous expression on Lin Yu's face, Kiana obediently walked behind Lin Yu and looked at the wheelchair being pushed by Yuno.
In her wheelchair, Rita Roseweisse, already unconscious, was still muttering something to herself with a sorrowful expression.
Sigh, it's clear that Miss Rita really cares about her senior.
So even though you have such a loving older sister, you're still thinking about pushing yourself every day. I really don't know what you're thinking.
Today, Kiana witnessed Rita's concern for Lin Yu... well, it's a bit twisted, but Kiana did feel Rita's concern for Lin Yu.
After witnessing her sworn sister's concern for Lin Yu, Kiana suddenly felt that all the inexplicable antagonism she had felt before had vanished.
It's a good thing that someone loves him so much.
Since it's a good thing, as his friend, I should be happy for him.
"Senior, Kiana."
At this moment, Yuno suddenly stopped inexplicably and looked ahead with great tension.
"We can't go any further."
"My Herrscher Core is now operating at full speed. Even the Herrscher Persona that I suppressed is starting to become restless."
"It's dangerous ahead, far more dangerous than the danger Miss Rita has brought us! We can't go any further!"
"Ah, that's true."
Lin Yu, who had been feeling an invisible pressure, stopped in his tracks.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chiyou is probably just ahead.
Sigh, if it weren't for checking those two seals inside Chiyou's body, who would want to come to this godforsaken place?
If Chiyou were to wake up at this moment, the first thing to get cold would be...
"Ha, those chosen by the Honkai, have you come here to welcome my rebirth?"
That is????
The moment those words reached the ears of the three, they immediately began to feel a strong tremor around them.
At the forefront, Lin Yu saw a colossal beast, as large as a small mountain, suddenly appear in his line of sight and unleash an incredibly loud roar.
"Boom!!!!!!"
