Moreover, I also have some questions I'd like to ask her.

"You, you wait a minute!"

After narrowly avoiding the automatically exploding Void Lance once again, Li Sushang deliberately feigned weakness and rolled to the side before panting and asking Sirin a question.

"What exactly did Otto do to you that made you so angry with him?!"

"Isn't he the Archbishop of Schicksal? Schicksal is supposed to be an organization that saves the world, right?"

"Schicksal? Saving the world?"

Hearing Li Sushang's question, Sirin, unusually, withdrew her offensive and said to Li Sushang with a cold smile.

"Oh yes, that's exactly what those hypocrites claimed to the outside world."

"More than a decade ago, they claimed that the Babylon Tower could cure the lesions caused by the Honkai, and they brought all of us clueless idiots to that place."

"They told us that everything we are doing now will make the Valkyrie's Stigmata even more perfect, and we should feel honored."

"And so, they spoke high-sounding words and injected Honkai Energy into our bodies—guess what happens to children after they're injected with Honkai Energy?"

"..."

Li Sushang said nothing.

But from her pale face, Sirin instantly understood that the Valkyrie already knew the answer.

As Ki Warrior, Li Sushang naturally knew that true qi and so-called Honkai Energy were the same thing.

Among the Ki Warrior in Shenzhou, some can use true qi to heal others.

However, Li Sushang would not think that the "Honkai Energy injection" that the girl was experiencing was a treatment method just because there were such cases.

Despite having no evidence whatsoever, looking into the other person's hateful eyes and listening to their gritted teeth, Li Sushang already believed half of what Sirin had said about the past.

After all, someone who stops attacking after just a few shouts is probably not very cunning.

People who are not cunning are generally not very good at acting. When such people have natural and rich expressions, what they say is usually not too far from the truth they perceive.

"But wasn't this something those people decided on their own, Otto ..."

"You mean he was unaware of it, right?"

Hearing Li Sushang's attempt to defend Otto, Sirin immediately interrupted her with a cold laugh.

"Ha, I don't know exactly what he was thinking. But considering that I was once dead, but Otto resurrected me, the 'enemy of humanity,' he's definitely not a good person."

"Only a bunch of Valkyrie who blindly believe in him would think he's a good person."

"However, let's end this small talk here. Anyway, no matter how much I say, you won't believe what I, as your enemy, am saying at this moment."

At that moment, Sirin snapped her fingers softly.

At the same time, Li Sushang immediately rolled away to avoid Sirin's attack.

However, seeing the lightning suddenly fall from the sky, Li Sushang's heart skipped a beat.

Is this a new attack method?

If I hadn't been prepared, that lightning strike would definitely have hit me.

Even if she wasn't hit by the attack, just by feeling the Honkai Energy emanating from the lightning strike, Li Sushang could roughly deduce that the destructive power of the attack was definitely not low.

And now, Li Sushang has to admit that her heart is truly in turmoil.

Previously, when Li Sushang saw Otto cooperating with those iron men who controlled the monsters, she had already started to have doubts.

After arriving in Shenzhou, Li Sushang met the woman who harbored ill will towards Otto at the Tai Xu Mountain. After saying a few words, her suspicions about Otto deepened.

Now, even her enemies are saying that Otto is a scoundrel.

A person is suspected of teaming up with villains, and various groups have simultaneously declared that this person is no good...

Even if Li Sushang was grateful to Otto for helping her once again, she could not choose to continue to unconditionally trust Otto.

But now, facing Sirin directly, Li Sushang no longer has the energy to think about the future.

Just now, Li Sushang, who was lost in thought, was almost hit by Sirin's lightning strike because she was distracted.

If the opponent could simultaneously attack with those strange explosive spears and lightning strikes...

"Okay, I'm tired of playing too."

"You, die here."

As the sky suddenly filled with lightning, and countless terrifying spears appeared behind Sirin, Li Sushang was completely dumbfounded.

No way, it really works?

Oh no, this is a huge problem.

Originally, Li Sushang planned to test the waters before using the Sword God to decide the outcome.

But now, facing Sirin who is using two Herrscher Core at the same time, Li Sushang, who has no way to get close, realizes that if she doesn't find a way to use her Sword God technique to decide the outcome, she might not even have a chance to escape the battlefield, let alone defeat the enemy.

The moment she made up her mind, Li Sushang released all the true energy within her body.

After using a portion of it to form a protective shield, Li Sushang, who was prepared to fight to the death, slowly floated into the air.

"This is..."

Seeing that the other party was now doing something completely opposite to what she had done before, Sirin suddenly felt a little uneasy.

From the moment she regained complete control of her body until now, Sirin has completely retrieved her past memories.

That's why Sirin couldn't possibly forget the strongest attack that the gray-haired woman unleashed after her body was engulfed in flames back then.

That attack exerted an immense pressure on Sirin.

When Sirin faced the woman directly, she even used the feathers with strange powers combined with Honkai Energy at the end, almost making Sirin feel 'death'.

If the Honkai God hadn't blocked some of the power for Sirin might have really died at that woman's hands.

Now, Li Sushang, who was floating in mid-air while enduring Sirin's attacks, gave Sirin a feeling similar to that of before.

The aura emanating from Li Sushang was somewhat different compared to that of the woman at the time.

However, Sirin didn't think that just because of such a small difference, she could easily withstand the opponent's attack.

She is now three cores away from her peak, and this time she has no divine protection.

If I'm not careful, I could die by this woman's sword.

Are you kidding me!

As the sense of urgency in her heart grew stronger, Sirin dared not be careless in the slightest and began to make the Herrscher Core within her body operate frantically.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, Sirin already had a plan to defeat the enemy.

Even so, she still dared not be careless in the slightest.

In past battles, I've been careless several times, which allowed those damned guys to get the better of me.

Now—I can't afford to make those silly mistakes again!

"The Divine the ultimate in transformation, the wondrous being that encompasses all things, and cannot be questioned by form."

Reciting the words from the sword manual, Li Sushang, who had already closed her eyes, had completely condensed her true energy.

In Sirin's eyes, the bird-shaped emblem that she feared so much reappeared before her once again.

At this moment, Sirin had already activated the Imaginary Shield, allowing Honkai Energy to protect her body and form a second shield.

Even so, these two layers of strong protection still couldn't give her the slightest sense of security.

The fifth essence of the Tai Xu Sword Qi, [Divine Essence], is essentially a powerful move that delivers an attack through a dual assault of Honkai Energy and mental energy, leaving the enemy with no way to dodge and no way to defend against.

Sirin, who faced Fu Hua's strongest attack, only managed to block the mental attack and avoid death thanks to external forces.

However, now, facing this unavoidable attack that could definitely seriously injure her, Sirin, who was already prepared, felt somewhat insecure, but the corners of her mouth began to turn up slightly.

If you ask why...

"It's all time to end this!"

After saying this, Li Sushang unleashed her Sword God technique on Sirin without any hesitation.

The next instant, Li Sushang, who had unleashed the power of the Sword God, was shocked to find that her body had appeared in the very spot where the enemy had been.

"This?!"

Completely bewildered by what had happened, Li Sushang, having exhausted her true energy, was astonished to find that she had been locked onto by the sword god she herself had unleashed.

Just a moment ago, Sirin, who possessed the Void Key and was herself the Herrscher of the Void, seized the opportunity the instant Li Sushang unleashed her attack.

The Tai Xu Sword God, which attacks from both physical and mental levels, is indeed a powerful sword move that is difficult for enemies to avoid once it is released.

However, even locking onto an enemy on a mental level takes time.

Meanwhile, Sirin, Herrscher of the Void was already prepared, skillfully seized the opportunity when the Void Key God hadn't remembered to lock onto the enemy after releasing his power, and completed the relocation of the two of them.

It was precisely because of this that the sword god released by Li Sushang locked onto the creature that appeared in that location after it was released and launched a powerful attack.

Even under normal circumstances, Li Sushang was not confident that she could directly withstand the most powerful killing move, the 'Sword God'.

Now, having exhausted all her inner energy, the swordswoman girl, sensing the power beginning to invade her body, clearly understood...

—She definitely wouldn't be able to survive on her own now.

Before her life came to an end, Li Sushang remembered someone.

Rosharian...

Are you really a bad person?

Did I really do something wrong by helping you, my benefactor?

At this moment, Li Sushang may have already found the answer in her heart.

But at this moment, Li Sushang did not die from her own sword strike.

After all...

"Truly appalling."

Accompanied by a violent voice, Li Sushang was surprised to find that the attack that should have torn her body and mind apart was actually blocked by someone.

When she opened her eyes, Li Sushang immediately saw a woman who shouldn't have been there, who was looking back at her with disdain and saying something to Li Sushang with dissatisfaction.

"He was almost killed by his own sword move?"

"How on earth did Cheng Lingshuang, that wicked disciple, raise such a good-for-nothing like you?"

At the same time, Sirin, who was originally prepared to laugh and watch Li Sushang be killed by her attack, suddenly widened her eyes.

"You, you bastard...!"

Then, Sirin, who possessed Kiana's memories, suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted at 'Fu Hua'.

"So that's how it is."

"You're that damned woman who traveled with Otto fourteen years ago! And all this time, you've been lurking around me..."

"Ah, I understand completely now."

"You're cooperating with that scoundrel Otto, that's why you've been spying on me."

After reaching this conclusion, Sirin immediately sneered.

"Ha, that brat doesn't know he's been deceiving himself all along. Very good, very good."

"Thank you, Fu Hua. Because of your 'deception,' my plan has taken two more steps forward."

Chapter 254. It's best not to antagonize this force for now.

At this moment, facing Sirin who had uttered these words, the Herrscher of Reason had seized control of Fu Hua's body midway...

—A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he looked at Li Sushang.

"You, a Herrscher, know quite a bit. That's right, I am Fu Hua, the Crimson Heron Immortal of Shenzhou?"

At this moment, the Herrscher of Reason, who felt a bit strained after neutralizing the Sword God, immediately suppressed the power still surging within her body, put her hands on her hips, and said to the Herrscher of Reason.
