Traitor Herrscher Squad

"Other Herrscher don't talk about this, but I do."

After all, in Chen Luo's view, there was nowhere else but Changkong City, a city that could be described as an apocalyptic experience, where one could smash, loot, and demolish houses without any scruples.

If Chen Luo didn't complete the "Psychopath's Hand" achievement in Changkong City, he was afraid that if he went to demolish houses elsewhere, the police would come and take Chen Luo to the station as soon as he finished.

As the Honkai Beasts that were born alongside Chen Luo, they naturally belonged to Chen Luo's summoned creatures, so the number of houses they destroyed was counted against Chen Luo.

There's nothing wrong with Herrscher; you can create Honkai Beasts using Honkai energy, and these Honkai Beasts are considered your summons.

The only downside is that Herrscher don't get crystals or Primogem when they kill Honkai Beasts.

Take that Tank-class Honkai Beast for example, it didn't give us a single crystal.

Because no Militants or Honkai Beasts will show hostility towards a Herrscher of their own faction.

Kiana and the others don't count. Kiana and the others have been stripped of their power to command Honkai Beasts, so they are naturally regarded as enemies by the Honkai Beasts.

Can a traitorous Herrscher be called Herrscher?

It's a sad thing, really. If you pick out ten Herrscher in this generation, and they even have the most basic Herrscher power of controlling Honkai Beasts, you probably couldn't even put together a mahjong table.

There are just too many traitors.

"Alright, now everyone go home and find your own mothers," Chen Luo said, turning around to look at everyone behind him.

"Uh, Brother Luo, where am I going?" Ling asked Chen Luo after looking around for a while.

"... You should follow me for now," Chen Luo said after a pause.

Since he was probably Ling's only acquaintance, even though Raven might take her to see her sister, he hadn't fully agreed yet, had he?

"I have nowhere to go." Yae Sakura said immediately when she saw Chen Luo's gaze shift to her.

"Then you can come with me for now." Chen Luo paused for a moment.

Compared to the Herrscher of Domination in the original storyline, Chen Luo does not have a Domination Theater, but Chen Luo does have Puppet Collection Vault to store dolls.

The Puppet Collection Vault can be described as a theater with only the attributes of another dimension, without many fancy functions; it is only used to connect Chen Luo with the other dolls.

Chen Luo can remotely control other dolls to instantly enter the Puppet Collection Vault.

The Puppet Collection Vault has no size distinction, only 999 compartments, used to store 999 dolls excluding Chen Luo himself.

Of course, there's no rush to add Yae Sakura to this Puppet Collection Vault.

Chen Luo's gaze returned to the other two people present.

Upon seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge gradually clench her delicate little fist—a fist capable of smashing through steel plates— Chen Luo instantly averted his gaze.

"What, you're planning to send me to my mom?"

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge didn't say anything, Herrscher of Knowledge eyes conveyed this message.

Perhaps...

Chapter 116 The Traitorous Herrscher Squad

"Cough cough, Raven, let's go back to the nest." Chen Luo finally said to Raven helplessly.

Because Chen Luo noticed that everyone around him seemed to be homeless.

"Bringing a Herrscher back to the lair is quite a novel experience," Raven muttered before leaping off the roof of the teaching building.

"Hey, why aren't you guys following?" Raven turned her head to see if the others had caught up, only to find that they were still standing on the roof of the teaching building without moving.

"Um, once you get back to your hideout, just open the bar door. We'll wait for you there," Chen Luo said somewhat apologetically.

"..."

"Don't be angry yet. I've left you a means of transportation. Don't lose it."

As Chen Luo finished speaking, a Super Kart, held by Giant Threaded Hand, was slowly brought to Raven's front.

"..."

Standing at the foot of the teaching building, watching the group of people return to the bar, Raven had a million curses to say, but didn't know if she should.

You bunch of bastards just left me to drive this beat-up go-kart all by myself back to the nest?

Chen Luo, you bastard, do you have any conscience? You can fly, right? Fly back then, isn't that faster than me driving a go-kart back?

"I'm not giving you that $30 back!" Raven said angrily.

This $30 is the money needed to buy 30 Honkai Crystal.

"No, it seems Chen Luo only gave me $1 million worth of gold as an advance payment, and the other party still has $4 million worth of gold in their hands."

Raven was wondering if Chen Luo would withhold the remaining $4 million in gold if he didn't give him the $30.

After failing to reach a conclusion, Raven strutted her long legs and got into the go-kart.

For the sake of the remaining $4 million in gold, I'll endure it!

"Beep beep beep!" Chen Luo, who was waiting for the Raven to return to their nest, suddenly heard his communicator ring.

"Hmm?" Hearing the somewhat hurried tone of the communication, Chen Luo answered the phone.

Chen Luo always carries two communicators: his ordinary mobile phone and the advanced touch-screen virtual tablet communicator that Theresa kindly gifted him.

Looking at this communicator, Chen Luo once wondered how much money he could get for it if he sold it to a real mobile phone company.

Of course, this is just a thought.

Moreover, when it comes to knowledge, the knowledge Void Archive is actually more valuable, containing an astonishing amount of Previous Era knowledge.

When Chen Luo opened the communicator that Theresa had kindly given him, he saw Raiden Mei's somewhat anxious face.

"Phew, A-Luo, you finally answered the phone. Are you in a bar? It's so good that you're not in Changkong City now." Raiden Mei was clearly relieved to see Chen Luo.

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo asked.

"The headmaster just received an urgent notification that another violent Honkai energy reaction has erupted in Changkong City, suspected to be caused by Herrscher. Luckily, you're in the tavern right now. Otherwise, you would have been in danger if you had encountered Herrscher," Raiden Mei said, now relaxed.

After receiving some formal instruction at the St. Freya Academy, Raiden Mei also learned how terrifying Herrscher were, especially the Second Herrscher and the harm she had caused to humanity.

"Uh, that..."

"My turn, my turn, can you see me, Alo?" Before Chen Luo could even say that he was the Herrscher, Raiden Mei's figure was pushed aside, and Kiana appeared next.

"I can see it, I can see it, don't get so agitated," Chen Luo said.

"Come on, Alo, stand back a bit, let me see if you're hurt," Kiana instructed Chen Luo.

"Let me tell you, Herrscher are truly terrifying beings. Don't think that just because you can beat Mei, you can beat all Herrscher. Don't have that kind of wishful thinking. If you encounter Herrscher, run away as fast as you can. It's not shameful. Back in the bar, no one can hurt you," Kiana added with concern.

"..."

I figured even Herrscher of Void, shouldn't be able to say something like that.

However, Chen Luo was truly flattered to receive such attention from Kiana, who was considered the most important person in the world.

"Hey Bronya, why don't you show your face too? Oh, I forgot you're too short, you can't even see the screen." But before Chen Luo could be moved for long, he heard Kiana mocking Bronya.

"Once I beat you to your knees, you'll see it." Bronya's emotionless voice rang out, and then the screen shook rapidly, suddenly dropping a bit, before revealing Bronya's face.

At this moment, Bronya appeared to be standing behind Kiana, which made it easy for Kiana to kneel down. All it took was a light kick to the back of Kiana's knee.

"Well, it's good that you're alright. But I suppose you shouldn't have gotten hurt since you put all your skill points into escaping." Bronya looked at Chen Luo for a while, nodded, and said.

Bronya did care a little about this friend who was willing to help her rescue Seele.

"Well, I'm glad you all care about me so much, but could you please let me finish my sentence?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Hmm, what is it?" Raiden Mei 'Raiden Mei image was not visible on the screen, but her voice could be heard.

"You might not believe it, but that Herrscher- level aura that just erupted was me."

"Huh?" Kiana was the first to show a look of astonishment.

"Does that mean you and Mei have both become Herrscher? Aro, you haven't been affected by the Herrscher Persona, have you?" Kiana asked with concern while forcefully locking Bronya in place.

"Don't worry about the Herrscher Persona. My Herrscher Persona is very weak. I suppressed it with one hand," Chen Luo said disdainfully.

After all, when Chen Luo clicked on the talent panel, he did indeed use only one hand, or more precisely, one finger.

However, to be precise, Chen Luo wasn't just like Raiden Mei, because it seemed that both the person on this end of the phone and the person on the other end were Herrscher.

On one end of the phone were Chen Luo, Yae Sakura, Ling, Herrscher of Knowledge.

On the other end of the phone were Raiden Mei, Kiana, Bronya.

Good grief, what kind of Herrscher squad is this?

Or is this some kind of double Herrscher squad?

"Wait, you can't just say you suppressed the Herrscher Persona that's it. What if you're the Herrscher Persona in disguise?" As Raiden Mei was about to say something, Kiana suddenly Raiden Mei.

"Kiana, what are you planning to do now?" Chen Luo looked warily at Kiana was clearly up to no good.

"How about this, the three of us will take turns asking you a question, and we'll only believe you're you if you answer correctly," Kiana said.

"You... never mind, just ask." Although Chen Luo really wanted to pry open Kiana's skull with force to see what Kiana was thinking, the Raven should be on its way to the nest anyway, and he had nothing else to do, so he decided to play with Kiana for a bit.

"Alright, which of you three wants to ask first?" Chen Luo asked, looking at the three people crammed together on the other side of the virtual screen.

"Let's start by asking questions in the order you two know each other. Mei, ask your question first, preferably something only the two of you know," Kiana reminded Mei.

"Something only the two of them know? Hmm, I understand." Mei nodded firmly.

"Then, A-Luo... could you repeat the first thing you said to me when we first met?" Mei looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

"Huh? Are you sure??"

"Of course I'm sure."

"This..."

Chen Luo hesitated for a moment.

"Can you answer this or not? If you can't, we'll treat you as a Herrscher Persona. Don't be a sore loser, okay?" Kiana said, displeased.

It's just what I said when we first met. What's so hard to say?

While Raiden Mei, to Kiana's left, didn't say anything, the expectant look on her face was impossible to hide.

"Fine, if you insist. Ahem, swordsman (Saber) Chen Luo, summoned from Different World, may I ask, are you my master?"

Chen Luo glanced at the others sitting next to him listening to him, as well as the other three people on the other side of the screen, and forced himself to repeat the sentence.

It's not that saying this is shameful, but rather that it needs to be said in the right context.

How incredibly cool it was to say those words to a girl who was in despair after falling from the sky.

It's incredibly awkward to say this now.

"Yes, that's right. That's what Aro said when we first met. And Aro even fell from the sky back then." Raiden Mei nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

"Wow, you two are so handsome on your first meeting? And when did you become a swordsman, Aro? I've never seen you use a sword before." Kiana was a little surprised.

"Uh, you might not believe it, but the first weapon I ever used was indeed a sword," Chen Luo muttered under his breath.

"Now it's my turn. Let me think, something only Aro and I know... I remember now." Kiana slapped her thigh.

But hearing Bronya's exclamation from the side, she knew that Kiana wasn't patting her own leg.

Kiana and Chen Luo had almost no time alone together, but it was only almost.

There really are things that only the two of them know.

"Who helped us when we were attacked by Mei's Herrscher Persona?" Kiana asked.

That's right, this is something only Chen Luo and Kiana know.

At that time, Bronya was knocked unconscious on the battlefield, and Raiden Mei was in her Herrscher Persona state, without any memory of what happened. The surveillance cameras that might have existed around her were almost completely disabled due to the influence of the Herrscher of Thunder. Therefore, the only person who could clearly see Raiden Mei in the future was Kiana.

Upon hearing Kiana's question, Chen Luo turned his gaze to Raiden Mei, who was standing next to Kiana.

"Alright, you've already answered, you don't need to say it out loud." But before Chen Luo could speak, Kiana suddenly said.

Kiana noticed Chen Luo's gaze.

Moreover, it's quite fun to keep a secret that only the two of you know.

"Huh? Did anyone help you back then?" Raiden Mei couldn't help but ask.
