Especially when Otto, that bastard who seemed to have everything under his control, sat behind the scenes enjoying the drama he had created, the Herrscher of Knowledge would jump out and punch him in the face.
"The sound of Otto's Soulium face creaking beneath my fist is simply wonderful. And now that I know he has Soulium clones, he's really going to suffer this time." The Herrscher of Knowledge grinned maliciously.
After fusing with Inner Demon Lure, the Herrscher of Knowledge felt that the scope of her authority had expanded again.
Using the Herrscher of Knowledge's authority to control Otto's consciousness would indeed be troublesome. After all, someone who had lived for five hundred years, and lived for one goal for five hundred years, would be very difficult to change.
But Otto's negative emotions from those five hundred years had long piled up into mountains. With Inner Demon Lure's help, if they were detonated...
Otto might go meet his childhood sweetheart directly.
"Just don't beat Otto to death," Chen Luo said, looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge with some concern.
"Don't worry. At most, I'll beat him up, kill a few of his clones, and smash up Schicksal Headquarters. I won't kill him." The Herrscher of Knowledge waved her hand.
"So when are you planning to go?"
"Now," the Herrscher of Knowledge said.
"In such a hurry?"
"Yeah. I can't wait to beat Otto up."
"I see. Fine, then. Anyway, I have the bar as a shelter. Even if I run into some major boss, I can still escape safely." Chen Luo was quite confident in his own safety.
"Of course, before I leave, I have a gift for you. I spent an entire night making it." A mysterious smile appeared on the Herrscher of Knowledge's face.
The Herrscher of Knowledge had not gone home to sleep last night. Even after her body had recovered, she had continued running all over the place to prepare this gift.
"Ta-da! Little Herrscher!" Seeing Chen Luo's puzzled expression, the Herrscher of Knowledge looked extremely satisfied and pulled out something doll-sized from nowhere.
"Little Herrscher?" Chen Luo looked at the tiny Herrscher of Knowledge, about the size of an Armed Puppet, and honestly felt rather dumbfounded.
"This is a clone ability. Impressive, right? All inner demons have this ability to manifest countless forms. After all, casting a wide net means more gains. So I spent the whole night making this clone. With her accompanying you, she can help you identify where Honkai Beasts and Militants are. And for these seven days, she has one-tenth of my main body's strength, enough to handle most problems." The Herrscher of Knowledge spoke proudly.
"Come on, crouch down." The Herrscher of Knowledge gestured to Chen Luo.
Although Chen Luo was confused, he still lowered himself.
Once Chen Luo had crouched down, the Herrscher of Knowledge placed Little Herrscher in her hand atop Chen Luo's head.
"Great, perfect!" The Herrscher of Knowledge put her hands on her hips and looked at Little Herrscher sitting on Chen Luo's head, seemingly very satisfied.
Chen Luo instinctively touched Little Herrscher on his head and felt a tangible texture.
"She seems real, but why doesn't she have any weight?" Chen Luo asked in confusion.
"That's obviously to keep her from affecting your fighting." The Herrscher of Knowledge did not speak, but Little Herrscher sitting on Chen Luo's head answered in a childish voice.
"What a cute voice." Chen Luo's eyes seemed to sparkle.
"Of course. I, the Herrscher of Knowledge, am the cutest. Dad." Little Herrscher sat on Chen Luo's head with her hands on her hips, but the moment the last word left her mouth, she immediately covered it.
But covering her mouth was useless, because Chen Luo had already heard it.
"Dad?" Chen Luo looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge in surprise.
"Th-this-this... I don't know what's going on either. Maybe it's because this is my first time making a clone, so I'm not skilled enough. I have no idea why those words came out, so don't get any weird ideas!" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo with a flushed face.
The thought of her clone calling Chen Luo Dad was still far too stimulating for the Herrscher of Knowledge.
Her clone was called Little Herrscher, she was called Little Herrscher, and now Little Herrscher called Chen Luo Dad, didn't that mean...
"Ah! Forget it, I'm leaving first." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head in frustration, then vanished directly.
Naturally, the Herrscher of Knowledge had her own methods of travel.
"Then why don't you make another one?" Chen Luo asked Little Herrscher on his head.
Although the Little Herrscher on top of his head was called Little Herrscher, she was actually the Herrscher of Knowledge herself, so asking her was the same as asking Little Herrscher.
"Because there wasn't enough time." Little Herrscher said huffily.
The Herrscher of Knowledge had completely recovered from her injuries a little after five in the afternoon, then spent an entire night creating an inner demon clone for the first time.
Although this clone seemed to have a tiny problem, she was nearly perfect in every other way. There was not enough time, so the Herrscher of Knowledge could only make do with her.
"So if I call you Dad next time, you're not allowed to answer, got it, Dad?"
"..." Chen Luo fell silent for a moment.
That really made it hard not to answer.
But the palm-sized little sword that appeared atop Chen Luo's head was extremely threatening. For the sake of his life, Chen Luo kept his mouth shut.
So the Herrscher of Knowledge was now left with only ten percent of her strength, but that ten percent was still enough to utterly crush Chen Luo.
Thus, Chen Luo could only turn his grief and indignation into strength and continue slaughtering the poor Militants.
Killed a Militant, obtained 5 Primogems Killed a Militant, obtained 5 Primogems ... During the event, the Primogem limit has been reached. Any Primogems obtained afterward will automatically be converted into Crystals.
"Hm? I've already hit the limit?" Chen Luo froze.
Without realizing it, Chen Luo had already killed two hundred Militants. He had therefore gained one thousand Primogems. According to this event's description, any amount beyond one thousand Primogems would be converted into Crystals, the Honkai World's unique exchange currency.
Chen Luo had earned one thousand Primogems less than an hour after arriving in the Honkai World, nearly making him think the Honkai World was his lucky world.
All he could say was that places like schools, with their dense populations, had far too many people—Militants.
Also, Chen Luo's harvesting speed was simply too fast now.
Divine Arrow Technique was simply too powerful.
So Venti's strength really was no joke.
Anemo, a Vision, Divine Arrow Technique.
Chen Luo figured that made him a little Anemo Archon, didn't it?
No, no, he could not become another Venti.
Living off others all day... No, that was the Geo Archon.
A drunkard who only knew how to sing for a living... Venti was only able to avoid starving because he was the Anemo Archon.
Chen Luo could not learn from him.
Still, he had heard that Venti was not making much money right now mainly because he was new and did not have enough fame.
Venti would probably earn more in the future. After all, Venti, the best bard on the entire Teyvat continent, was not a joke.
Meanwhile, Chen Luo's Honkai Energy Adaptation had reached 52.5%, an increase of a full 20%.
Trying to raise his Honkai Energy Adaptation to 200% was truly a long and arduous task.
Especially since other places were not densely populated areas like Chiba Academy. Finding Militants would be even more troublesome.
But before that, he had to send Raiden Mei and Kiana to St. Freya Academy.
Then Chen Luo could wage guerrilla warfare throughout the city.
Before actually meeting one, Chen Luo did not know whether he could defeat an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, but Chen Luo could run.
The reason he was not sending those two back to St. Freya Academy yet was mainly because he was waiting for that Bronya.
How could The Big Three have only two people?
Besides, that Bronya should be a key step in Chen Luo joining Anti-Entropy.
That was right, Chen Luo planned to join Anti-Entropy.
Of course, Chen Luo had not been merely talking when he said he wanted to join Schicksal.
After all, nobody had said he could only join one faction. The talent panel had specifically reminded him that he could join factions repeatedly.
If possible, Chen Luo also wanted to join World Serpent and St. Freya Academy.
He wondered whether there was a Honkai faction. It would be great if he could join the Honkai faction.
That way, Chen Luo would be a five-sided spy.
And if he wanted to join Anti-Entropy within these seven days, Bronya was his only opportunity.
As for joining Schicksal, that was a little troublesome. For some reason, the St. Freya Academy faction seemed separate from the Schicksal faction.
He could definitely join the St. Freya faction. After all, Chen Luo now had the St. Freya Academy Staff Certificate and had already joined automatically.
Chen Luo could now freely purchase all items belonging to the St. Freya Academy faction, including but not limited to Oath of Judah and the Hyperion.
But if even the Hyperion belonged to St. Freya Academy, Chen Luo truly did not understand how he was supposed to join Schicksal...
It sounded annoying, but in reality, it was even more annoying.
And then there was World Serpent...
Sure enough, maximizing his benefits was quite troublesome.
Only after clearing all the Militants in this enormous library did Chen Luo return to his original location.
His gains were that his Primogems had reached the limit, he had obtained over two hundred Crystals, and he had also earned an achievement.
Honkai Hunter (Three Stars): Damage dealt to all Militants increased by 20%, damage dealt to all Honkai Beasts increased by 20%, and damage dealt to all Herrschers increased by 5%. Requirement: Kill one hundred Militants or Honkai Beasts. Advancement Path: Kill 1,000 Militants or Honkai Beasts to obtain the Honkai Reaper achievement (Four Stars). (Special requirement: Defeat an Emperor Honkai, the limit among lower-tier Honkai Beasts, or a stronger Honkai Beast, or a Pseudo-Herrscher.) Effect: Damage dealt to all Militants increased by 50%, damage dealt to Honkai Beasts increased by 50%, damage dealt to Herrschers increased by 12.5%. Attacks have a 10% chance to deal true damage, which cannot be defended against. Kill 10,000 Militants or Honkai Beasts to obtain the Honkai Terminator achievement (Five Stars). (Special requirement: Defeat a Herrscher.) Effect: Damage dealt to all Militants increased by 100%, damage dealt to Honkai Beasts increased by 100%, damage dealt to Herrschers increased by 25%. All attacks become true damage, ignoring defense and carrying an execution skill. Attacks have a 1% chance to instantly kill all types of creatures belonging to the Honkai faction.
This five-star achievement was fucking absurd.
That was Chen Luo's greatest feeling upon seeing this achievement.
Or rather, all five-star items, characters, props, talents, and achievements were incredibly absurd.
Chen Luo's only five-star achievement, Great Philanthropist, could greatly increase the other party's trust in him upon their first meeting, increase their favorability to a certain extent, and make it easier for him to receive commissions.
Without this five-star achievement, leaving everything else aside, Raiden Mei would never have trusted Chen Luo so easily, and Kiana would have drawn her blade against him instead of lowering her gun so readily.
How should he put it? If he had that five-star Honkai Terminator achievement, Chen Luo truly would have nothing to fear.
Especially that instant-kill effect. It was absurd beyond belief.
As long as I chip away fast enough, even if you're a god, I'll chip you to death.
So you're the Herrscher of the End?
So you're the Honkai Consciousness?
So you're Aili... Cough, cough.
"Ten thousand Militants and Honkai Beasts... How long would that take? And that's not even the main problem. Defeat a Herrscher..."
Thinking of that condition, Chen Luo truly felt troubled.
Herrschers were not something ordinary people could defeat.
"Welcome back." A gentle voice interrupted Chen Luo's thoughts.
Chen Luo looked up and saw Raiden Mei sitting in the library's luxurious lounge area, steeping hot tea and smiling at him.
Besides the hot tea, there were also various small snacks on the table that looked rather delicious.
"Hm? Where did you get hot tea?" Chen Luo looked completely bewildered.
This was the apocalypse. Why did they look like they were having a tea party?
But upon seeing Raiden Mei, a glimmer of hope rose in Chen Luo's heart.
Right, there was a weak Herrscher right in front of him.
