Cat Car, launch!

—The Honkai doesn't plan to create all the Herrscher at once and then release them all, does it?

After considering this possibility, Himeko ran even faster.

To distance herself from her two closest relatives, Himeko even activated the thrusters attached to her Valkyrie armor.

She's now theoretically in the second-in-command position in Schicksal, so the armor she's using is definitely not the old model like the second generation.

Himeko, who was unable to use the God-Slaying Armor before today, had already chosen a third-generation Valkyrie Armor that suited her.

While Ryusuke possesses the power of the Shoggoth clan, and Ragna was the strongest Valkyrie in headquarters four years ago, Ryusuke's power is incomplete, and Ragna only has a protective suit but no armor, so naturally they cannot catch up with Himeko's pace for the time being.

However, Himeko now knows that her thrusters cannot be used for very long.

Moreover, she must now calm her mind in order to get into the fight more quickly.

After all, there must be other Honkai in this theater right now, being Honkai.

To prevent any unexpected health issues, Himeko still carries a vial of lightweight HSN Serum with her at all times.

Although this serum cannot achieve the effect of 'instantly suppressing Herrscher,' at that time...

Sigh, whoever it is, we'll save as many as we can.

Now, if we save a Herrscher Candidate, we gain one more combatant, and the enemy loses one.

So now...

—Everyone, hang in there!

Chapter 297. Cat Car, Start!

Almost simultaneously, Dominion Theater

Inside the Dominion Theater, Kiana Kaslana, who had just been traveling with her sister, suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable after being teleported Dominion Theater.

What made her even more uneasy was that, inside this theater, as the Herrscher of the Void, she could feel that although the core was operating, she was unable to activate her abilities normally.

Although the girl's heart is currently filled with complex emotions, namely the joy of reuniting with her family and the disgust she feels for her sinful self, this does not mean that she has lost her judgment as a warrior.

She's in a terrible state right now, but it's much better than it was a little over a month ago when she regained her past memories and discovered she was a demon.

She is guilty, but precisely because she is guilty, she must not die until she has atoned for her sins.

Now that she and her sister have brought the Jizo Mitama to Otto's door, Otto has directly transferred her to this place. What does this mean?

This shows that Otto has lost his temper!

The more anxious the enemy is, the more it shows that our plan truly poses a threat to them.

Otherwise, Otto wouldn't have been in such a hurry to teleport Kiana to this strange place.

After all, Otto in the past was much more generous than he is now, allowing Kiana to live in her comfort zone.

Kiana used to just sleep in class and go shopping after class, Otto wouldn't do anything. Now...

Okay, let's calm down first.

Otto me into this strange theater, surely because of his bizarre plans.

His plan must be related to the other personality within me, so...

"So, you're saying you still want to team up with outsiders to deal with me?"

At that moment, Kiana, who heard a voice behind her, pulled the trigger of Fafnir's Flame.

However, after she fired a bullet at the enemy, Kiana was extremely surprised to find that the opponent actually had Imaginary Shield that easily blocked her attack.

"You..."

Faced with the materialized Sirin, Kiana took a step back with extreme nervousness.

"How is this possible!"

"Oh, what are you surprised about?"

Before Kiana, Sirin, who now held the Key of Void in her hand, sneered at the 'herself' before her.

"Does seeing me in my physical form make you so uneasy?"

Kiana, now dressed as the White Knight: Moonlight, did not choose to continue communicating with Sirin. Instead, she began to keep a wary eye on Sirin while keeping a close watch on her surroundings out of the corner of her eye.

Something's not right here.

Although I knew Otto wouldn't surrender so easily, this strange ability...

This wasn't mentioned in the materials I've been staying up all night studying these past few days (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻

And this girl... she's actually planning to fight me with a 'gun'?

And the armor that had just materialized on her body—it was clearly a knock-off of Moonlight's!

However, this is actually a good thing.

After analyzing for about ten seconds, Kiana surprisingly felt a little relieved.

Although her evil side had materialized, the other party seemed unable to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void, just like her.

From this perspective, she and Sirin can now be considered to be on the same starting line.

Hmph, I won't lose to this guy—wait, how did I get bypassed!

After a series of random thoughts, Kiana suddenly realized that her thinking seemed to be interfered with by something.

Just now, she actually felt at ease because her opponent was only 'herself'.

The problem is, her getting into this place was clearly not the work of another personality of hers that she usually dared not show itself.

Even after suppressing her other personality, she still has to face the mastermind behind it all— Otto Apocalypse.

Is that old bastard planning to hide in the shadows, take advantage of our weakened state while we're fighting, and then reap the benefits?

Hmm, in that case... let me think about it.

"Your eyes are rolling around, what kind of trick are you thinking of?"

Looking at Kiana in front of her, Sirin said with great displeasure.

You wouldn't...

"Well, I don't think we need to fight at a time like this."

After scratching the back of her head with a silly grin, Kiana said to Sirin with a smile.

"Look, we're all unlucky guys who've been tormented half to death by Otto. In the end, our enemy has always been Otto."

"Now that I've been suddenly arrested and you haven't been able to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void, it's obvious that Otto plans to watch us fight to the death and then do something bad!"

After listening to Kiana's words, Sirin pondered for a few seconds before impatiently speaking to Kiana.

Get to the point!

"Well, what I mean is, it's actually very simple..."

At this moment, Kiana smiled at Sirin and said a sentence.

"Is it possible for us to... make peace?"

"Reconciliation?"

As if she had heard a funny joke, Sirin suddenly covered her face and burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!"

"You're not joking right now, are you?"

"You know perfectly well that I cannot fight alongside you, and that I intend to obey the will of God and destroy all of humanity."

"And now you're saying you want to reconcile with me—are you trying to fool me like I'm a fool?!"

Oh no, something's happened.

After seeing the murderous intent bursting from the golden pupils peeking through the gaps between the other person's fingers, Kiana knew she had said the wrong thing.

Ultimately, she and I are both extensions of the same aspect of Sirin.

From her perspective, she thinks she has the same level of intelligence as me!

How could I have been so stupid as to try to fool her? (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. When Sirin was still very weak in the past, after she had avenged herself on the researchers at the Babylon Tower, she did not rush in blindly.

At that time, Sirin was very careful to hide, allowing herself to absorb a large amount of Honkai Energy before she began to take revenge on humanity.

Later, Sirin encountered a series of problems in battle, which was partly because she had five or six cores, making her so powerful that she no longer needed strategy.

From these perspectives, there is a clear and significant difference between the mindset of Sirin in favorable circumstances and that of Sirin in adverse circumstances.

Now, both Kiana and Sirin, standing before her, are undoubtedly in a predicament...

"Stop talking nonsense, you idiot."

Seeing Kiana break out in a cold sweat, Sirin immediately launched an attack using the Key of Void.

Unlike ordinary firearms, the attack launched by the Key of Void is not a bullet in the physical sense, but an attack that penetrates space.

If Kiana weren't also the Herrscher of the Void, she would have been pierced through the body the moment such an attack appeared out of nowhere.

And now, Kiana has completely understood.

Although both of them seem unable to use the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, the problem is that Sirin can still use some of the Herrscher's abilities.

For example, Sirin can now use the Key of Void, which can only be used by Herrscher of the Void, and can create Imaginary Shield, which can only be used by Herrscher, to negate Kiana's attacks.

Although Kiana wouldn't want to back down when the opponent had the upper hand, her lack of combat strength was an objective fact.

Think about what we should do now.

... well.

As Kiana began to think of a solution, she instantly came up with one that she didn't really want to use, but which was also an excellent one.

Although she can no longer use her powers, it doesn't mean that their faction no longer has the [Power of Void].

In a sense, Su, who has been driving the Thousand Worlds Annihilation 50,000 years, possesses the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, and his manipulation of space is no less than that of Kiana, a half-baked Herrscher of the Void.

Her sister Durandal, must have known about her disappearance.

Now everyone has a Quantum Teleportation System, so if Durandal isn't teleported to this place, she will definitely notify the others.

In other words, reinforcements will arrive sooner or later.

Before that, Kiana's best tactic is simply to stall for time and avoid a direct confrontation with Sirin, thus giving Otto an opportunity to exploit the situation.

But honestly, being chased not only made her feel humiliated, but also made her feel really useless.

Damn it!

Why am I always holding back in every battle? (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻!

Now, although Kiana was unwilling to hold back, she knew even more clearly that waiting for reinforcements was definitely the right choice than acting recklessly.

She's already terrible at the game, and to make matters worse, she keeps feeding kills at crucial moments...

The thought of putting her allies in danger because of her reckless actions made Kiana feel a lot of pressure.

"What, you're not scared, are you?"

Seeing Kiana's slightly weakened aura, Sirin narrowed her eyes slightly.

"If you're scared, then go back to sleep and let me take control of this body."

"Although I don't know how Otto seized my power, the fact that he failed to take away the Imaginary Shield and the Key of Void is the best proof that he has not completely taken away the power of void."

"If I, as Apostle of God, were to take control of this body... Hmph."

At that moment, Sirin suddenly said with a hint of resentment.

"Alright, I'll take the initiative to back down."

"If you give me your body, I can guarantee that my revenge will be limited to the two organizations, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy."

"... So I guess I should thank you."
