Kiana, Become Mine

With his departure, the overall strength of Schicksal declined.

Perhaps I should seize this opportunity and take Bella to deal with those damned minions first.

It doesn't matter that Otto has been missing for so long and hasn't reappeared.

Once I've killed all his men and his granddaughter, he'll show himself sooner or later.

As for Theresa... Hmph, her Divine Prayer Barrier is indeed an extremely troublesome killing move for me.

But the reason she almost killed me with her Divine Prayer Barrier back then was because I didn't know that the Oath of Judah had such terrifying power.

Now that I know Theresa has this trump card, as long as I keep a sufficiently large distance from Theresa, no matter how strong her Divine Prayer Barrier, it cannot harm me.

Perhaps I'm being too cautious...

God???

Upon suddenly hearing the voice of God, Sirin's expression turned to one of utter astonishment.

Do you mean I should act cautiously?

Is there still many enemies in this world that I cannot defeat, and who might even suffer a crushing defeat at their hands?

If it were the Sirin of the past, she would probably have just let these words from the Honkai God go in one ear and out the other.

However, after being beaten up by powerful humans in various positions fourteen years ago, Sirin felt that she should indeed be a little more careful.

She had finally regained control of her body, and now, due to carelessness, she had once again been plunged into the abyss of darkness—she didn't want to experience that again.

However, when Sirin heard the voice of God, Belenas, who was standing before her, suddenly showed an expression of immense pain.

"Your Majesty, I... I... I..."

"Bella?!"

Seeing her familiar suddenly collapse to the ground and convulse violently, Sirin panicked.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"Your Majesty, please be careful, I sense..."

"The Conquest of Thunder is malfunctioning!"

After saying this, Belenas suddenly let out a dragon's roar, and then a phantom of her in dragon form suddenly appeared on her body.

At this moment, Sirin naturally realized that there was a big problem with her.

Not only the Conquest of Thunder Belenas mentioned, but even the other Tranquility of Death within her body has encountered problems.

The two Herrscher Core that Sirin forcibly seized emitted sounds that made Sirin uneasy, and then showed faint signs of breaking free from Sirin's control and disappearing from Sirin body.

"Damn it, are those two women causing trouble?"

At this moment, Sirin, who had just received the message from the Honkai God, was instantly furious and began to sense which direction the two Herrscher Core were heading to leave.

"This is... Changkong City?!"

"Damn it, those two women who became Herrscher in Changkong City, could they really take back the Herrscher Core from a distance?"

"My Lady Queen..."

At this moment, looking at Sirin's face, Belenas, who originally thought Sirin was unparalleled, suddenly grabbed Sirin's hand.

"Don't go there."

"Bella, are you... worried about me?"

Sirin, who had intended to scold Belenas, looked at the pained expression on Belenas' face and spoke to Belenas with utmost gentleness.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to take care of some trash."

"But..."

"No buts."

At this moment, seeing the pained expression on Belenas's face, Sirin felt even more heartbroken.

Belenas is Sirin's familiar, but the main reason Sirin transformed Belenas into a self-aware human form is because...

Even the more extreme Sirin of evil she is now, still yearns deep down for companions to walk alongside her.

In her eyes, Belenas was less a relative and more her most important friend.

Now that her friend is in trouble, how could Sirin possibly stay here and do nothing?

Seeing the deep worry on Belenas's face, Sirin said something to Belenas.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"I see."

Looking at the incredibly confident Sirin, Belenas still asked with great concern.

"Your Majesty, can you really... win?"

"Don't worry, we'll win."

Before leaving, Sirin spoke confidently to her only friend.

"I am the strongest right now."

Well, with those guys not around...

—I must be the strongest, right?

Chapter 262. Kiana, Become Mine!

Changkong City. Singularity

The two people whose cores were condensing near the singularity could feel the power gradually returning to their bodies.

The reason they couldn't complete the core condensation as quickly as possible was because there were two Herrscher condensing their cores near a singularity, which caused a shortage of Honkai Energy.

Of course, the Herrscher of the Void, who possesses the cores of Tranquility of Death and Conquest of Thunder, is probably still trying to control the cores that are about to leave her body.

But the more they worked on condensing their core, the clearer it became for them—their core was ultimately theirs, and no matter how much the Herrscher struggled, it wouldn't make much difference.

What is stolen is still stolen; the Herrscher of the Void is ultimately not the Herrscher of Thunder or the Herrscher of Death.

Even if she had briefly possessed these two cores, it doesn't mean she had completely become their owner.

Now, if the Herrscher of the Void wants to ensure that the core remains within her body, she only has one way out.

If Mei and Yuno are killed before they can complete the core condensation, thus interrupting their actions, then after the original bodies of the 'Herrscher of Thunder' and 'Herrscher of Death' no longer exist in this world, the two cores seized by the Herrscher of the Void will naturally become hers completely.

As for what the Herrscher of the Void will do now...

—The Imaginary Door that appeared before them at this moment had already given them the answer.

"You two maggots, you really dare to do that."

Looking at the singularity that had been created by the two of them, Sirin didn't understand the principle behind their actions, but she had no interest in or need to understand it.

She is now absolutely certain...

"Once I kill you all, everything will be over."

At that moment, as she uttered those words, Sirin lightly snapped her fingers.

Upon seeing the numerous Void Lance appear behind Sirin, Mei and Yuno exchanged a glance and unanimously chose to retreat.

The two continued their efforts to condense their cores, but with interference from others, their speed in condensing their cores was naturally much slower than before.

The Void Lance created by the Herrscher of the Void Lance are not only numerous, but they are also imbued with 'Withering Black Mist' and 'Conquering Lightning'.

The Withering Black Mist can cause anything it touches to wither, while conquering lightning can directly decompose everything.

Having a deep understanding of how troublesome their own powers were, the two of them, even though they had prepared themselves mentally, still felt an incredibly terrifying sense of oppression when facing the three-core Sirin, as they looked at the Void Lance that appeared before them.

This sense of oppression is certainly not as strong as that of Kevin and Lin Yu, who fought to the death in the Nine Nether Netherworld twenty days ago. But the problem is that even if it is not as strong as those two, the current Herrscher of the Void is still much stronger than them.

If we're not careful, we might die after the first attack.

However, if we can withstand the first wave of attacks, Principal Theresa will arrive with reinforcements.

So...

"Hmph, you all seem to be expecting something, but unfortunately—today, it's no use who comes."

Seeing the two's unyielding eyes, Sirin said fiercely.

"The only person who can threaten me right now is Theresa, but Theresa —if she comes, can she hit me with that damn barrier?"

"I've learned my lesson and won't let her get close again, so today..."

"—You, all of you, may die!"

The moment she uttered those words, Sirin unleashed Void Lance imbued with the power of the two Herrscher of Lightning and Death at the two people before her.

However, at the very moment the Void Lance was launched, Sirin suddenly heard 'His' voice.

"What, God? Why would you say such a thing at this time?"

After hearing God's instructions, Sirin did not choose to obey them this time.

After all, if they don't kill that woman named Raiden Mei here, her familiar, Belenas, will revert to being a Honkai Beast with little emotion.

Compared to the Demon Dragon Belenus, Sirin actually needs the companionship of her familiar Bella more.

Driven by loneliness, Sirin made a decision she would later deeply regret.

Run my ass, killing those two guys won't even take a minute.

Even if someone comes, I can use my powers to retreat in a minute!

Just as this thought crossed Sirin's mind, she suddenly felt her body become incredibly heavy.

The Herrscher of the Void, who should have been ethereal, was now falling from mid-air.

Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, had experienced this feeling of powerlessness once before, fourteen years ago.

After underestimating her defeated opponent Theresa Apocalypse, Sirin was ambushed by Theresa using Divine Prayer Barrier and reverted to being a helpless girl at the mercy of others.

And this time...

Wrong!

I should have taken precautions!

Theresa needs time to release the Key of Restraint. Even if she suddenly arrived here using strange means, it's impossible for her to release the barrier without any warning!

Meanwhile, Yuno and Mei, who had been prepared for a fight to the death, suddenly stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Before their eyes, the Void Lance projected at them were instantly annihilated under the crimson barrier.

But for the two of them—is the enemy's attack failing something they should even care about?!

In mid-air, the figure slowly descending from the sky, the one that haunted everyone's dreams, was what the two cared about most at that moment.

"Lin... Yu!"

Seeing the boy she admires suddenly appear on the battlefield, Raiden Mei almost rushed out in a flash.

Just before she could take action, a large tree suddenly grew out of the ground and blocked Mei's way.

"Yuno, you—"

"Mei, calm down."

Yuno had placed her hands on the ground, looked at Mei, whose eyes were filled with five parts doubt, four parts confusion, and one part anger, and pointed to the Mei Honkai Energy tree she had created.

"Don't forget, our predecessors, like us, were chosen apostles by Him."

"And the power that the senior possesses is the most domineering [Constraint Barrier]."

Listening to Yuno's explanation, Mei looked at the Mei tree and immediately realized that after it appeared, the tree was completely annihilated, just like the Void Lance.

The tree wasn't instantly 'annihilated' only because the two were still some distance from the Constraint Barrier.

"According to information from the Schicksal Database, once the Constraint Barrier is released, it not only has absolute suppression power over Honkai Energy, but also interferes with the propagation of other energies."

"Ordinary soldiers would suffer brain death the moment they entered the barrier due to its power. While we are certainly stronger than ordinary soldiers, however..."
