Chapter 205

Why did you have to stop Seele? Seele just wanted to be with you all forever, but the way you're doing this... Neither Sister Bronya nor Shen Gonglin can stop Seele's wish, because only you know what Seele wants!

The battle was unavoidable, and Seele made her decision. She wasn't the weak and hesitant Seele knew; once she decided to do it, she would see it through to the end. The dark blade hurtled towards Shen Gonglin, the red light in the girl's eyes intensifying. Ignoring her other self's attempts to stop her, she launched an attack. Shen Gonglin, wielding the Spear of the Void as a spear, clashed with her. This girl had a strong learning ability; while Durandal herself wasn't much to look at, her spear skills were quite formidable. Shen Gonglin had seen her fight before, and since this wasn't a life-or-death struggle, he didn't want to use his Herrscher of the Void abilities. He would just fight her like this.

This is a good opportunity to accelerate the analysis of the characteristics of the Sea of Quantum. After all, the Sea of Quantum is not my home ground. If the analysis is not completed, I will not be able to launch any useful attacks on the creatures in the Sea of Quantum. If I encounter that Tlaloc again later, I will not be able to pose any threat to it with the current level of analysis.

"Don't stop me, I just want that Herrscher Core."

The girl wielded her scythe, forcing Shen Gonglin back. Seele, who had no intention of fighting him, ran towards the core of the Herrscher of Reason. But before she could get close, a circle of light flashed before her eyes and Shen Gonglin blocked her way again. Seele's emotions gradually became volatile. Compared to her other personality, Seele in this state was obviously more easily angered. Shen Gonglin's constant obstruction made her emotions increasingly out of control. She had clearly held back against him, but what was this guy planning to do? Did he really not want her to leave the Sea of Quantum?

In the end, it was all for naught!

"That's Herrscher Core why I can't give it to you. These things are very dangerous, and you wouldn't be able to handle them."

The Spear of the Void flashed from the void and pierced Seele's path, blocking her way. Shen Gonglin tried to persuade Seele with earnest words. Although he didn't understand the whole story, he knew which side he should stand on just by the way Bronya had blocked Seele earlier. Don't be fooled by how easily he could control the Herrscher of the Void's abilities. The Herrscher Core was as docile as a cat in his body, but that was only him. It would be difficult for others to control the Herrscher Core. In any case, he couldn't let Seele take it away.

Speaking of which... why Shen Gonglin always feel that Seele has a Herrscher- like aura about her? Saying she's Herrscher doesn't quite fit, but she definitely has that Herrscher- like feeling. I really don't understand.

"I don't need this, I'm just going to give it to someone else!"

The Stigmata on her chest gradually heated up. As a natural Stigmata bearer, Seele could make fuller use of the power within the Stigmata in this state. Shen Gonglin was slowly finding it troublesome. It wasn't that he couldn't beat Seele, but he simply couldn't bring himself to use his full strength against her. Moreover, this girl seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, while he was holding back. This was a bit difficult.

"You can't do it like this. This kind of thing is dangerous to anyone. It needs to be kept safe. Seele, let's wait until Bronya wakes up before we discuss this properly. You can't take it from me even if I don't give it to you."

Forced back step by step by Seele, Shen Gonglin was still trying to reason with Seele, but the girl completely fell silent. Clearly, she had given up on talking to Shen Gonglin. This version of Seele was a proponent of violence; she was never good at persuading others with words, and ultimately it came down to who had the stronger fist. They had no idea about Seele's situation; they didn't know how unbearable the Sea of Quantum was. Now that the chance to get out was right in front of them, Seele would never give up!

The other Seele must have thought the same thing, but she would never dare to do it, so that's precisely the meaning of her existence.

Supported by this belief, Seele's offensive became even more intense, and the core of the Herrscher of Reason was now hers!

Seeing that Shen Gonglin didn't want to hurt her, Seele's red eyes flickered. Just as the scythe and spear were about to strike again, she suddenly released the scythe and directly met Shen Gonglin's Spear of the Void with her chest. Sure enough, Shen Gonglin, startled, quickly withdrew the Spear of the Void. If it had pierced through, it would have definitely given Seele a fatal blow. Seizing this hard-won opportunity, Seele reached for the azure Herrscher Core. A hint of urgency flashed in Shen Gonglin's eyes. No, she couldn't let her take that thing.

"Come here right now! I told you not to touch me, but you still did! Are you a cat?!"

Releasing the Spear of the Void, just as the spear was about to hit the ground Shen Gonglin kicked it, causing it to spin and knock away the floating Herrscher Core. Seeing the Herrscher Core pass through her fingertips, Seele showed a look of unwillingness. However, just as she was about to continue her efforts forward, Shen Gonglin grabbed her waist and rolled off the platform with her. There was no other way but to fight hand-to-hand.

"Shen Gonglin!"

With success within reach disrupted by Shen Gonglin, Seele finally got angry. She dropped her scythe and rolled around with Shen Gonglin. She didn't want to hit him, but did he have to draw blood? Did he think he could beat her this way?

Shen Gonglin's physique is incomparable to those Valkyrie. Although Seele is not a Valkyrie, her physical qualities are much better than Shen Gonglin's. Abandoning other special powers to fight me in this way, I really don't know what he was thinking. Did he think I would hold back against him?

As she rolled around, Seele gained a favorable position. She sat on Shen Gonglin's back and raised her fist to punch that handsome face. If Shen Gonglin, he would probably cry for a long time. This punching bag... if you punch him like a little bread roll, red, white, green, and purple would probably all come out.

[No, I can't hit Shen Gonglin... Calm down, my other self, I can't hit Shen Gonglin like this... He... he'll hold a grudge...]

Just then, another voice of Seele rang out in her mind. The girl's tone was full of anxiety. "You can't do this, you can't hit him!"

Chapter 171 It's Calling Me

What is my other self doing? Not only did she attack Sister Bronya, but she's even trying to beat Shen Gonglin! I can't do that. I can't hurt Sister Bronya. And if I attack Shen Gonglin, he'll definitely hold a grudge. If Shen Gonglin retaliates... No, I absolutely can't do that. Has my other self not even considered the consequences?

[Quiet down. He'll keep stopping us if we don't beat him up. We can only get out of here if we get the Herrscher Core, isn't that what we agreed on?]

Why did she back down at the last minute? The red Seele scolded her other self in her heart. But she was right. If she beat up Shen Gonglin now, this petty guy would definitely hold a grudge, and who knew when he would retaliate. Seele wasn't afraid of him coming at her directly, but she was worried that he would remember her and then she would be tricked by him at any time. So... she should restrain herself.

Lowering her fist, Seele crawled toward the Shen Gonglin Herrscher Core that Rin had slapped aside. All she had to do was get that thing and give it to the snake so she could get out of this place and be with Sister Bronya forever.

But... but Sister Bronya doesn't want to do this, Seele doesn't want to do anything that would hurt Sister Bronya... Seele, I'm willing to believe in Sister Bronya...

Another version of herself spoke these words in her mind. Just hearing this voice, Seele could imagine how timid and indecisive she looked. She was usually very timid and didn't listen to her. Why was she so resistant to her now on this matter? Did she even understand that she was doing this for her own good... Of course, it was also for her own good. She didn't want to go back to the dark and cold Sea of Quantum!

[I told you, be quiet! We'll succeed soon, and if we succeed...]

Seele crawled forward, but Shen Gonglin grabbed her legs from behind. He wasn't going to let Seele get the Herrscher Core; such things were troublesome, as you could tell from Kiana's current situation. Perhaps this core also carried the same risks. What if there was a strange consciousness residing inside? This stupid Seele, she's really acting recklessly.

"Don't touch that thing, it's not a good thing. If you want gems, I'll buy them for you later, okay? Or if you want them, I'll give you this one, okay? Look, it's the same type as that one."

Shen Gonglin grabbed Seele's leg and pulled her back. Then he summoned his Herrscher Core and showed it off in front of Seele. This was the manifestation of the power of the Herrscher of the Void gathered within him. Undoubtedly, this was a genuine Herrscher Core. Unlike other Herrscher Core, this one was completely under Shen Gonglin's control, making it much safer. "You can play with this if you want," Herrscher Core said. Although even if he gave this to Seele, she wouldn't be able to use the Herrscher of the Void's abilities, but that's how you coax a child, isn't it?

"Who wants something like this... Hey! Shen Gonglin, where are you looking, you pervert!"

"Does this guy think he's a child?" Seele turned around and angrily scolded Shen Gonglin, trying to break free from his grip. But as soon as she turned back, she sensed something was wrong. This guy's eyes kept peeking under her skirt. In this position... Shen Gonglin really is a pervert. Even at a time like this, he still can't resist peeking under her skirt. She can't take it anymore. Seele is going to beat him to death today!

However, at this moment, perhaps due to the influence of Shen Gonglin Herrscher of the Void Core, the previously well-behaved Herrscher of Reason Core seemed to have been stimulated by something. The azure blue Herrscher Core suddenly began to fluctuate, and blackish-purple Honkai energy gradually spread from it and filled the Herrscher of Reason's core. Oh no, this Herrscher Core has gone out of control.

With an incredibly keen sensitivity to Honkai energy, Shen Gonglin sensed what was about to happen. The golden Herrscher of the Void Core instantly returned to his body. He dragged Seele and retreated sharply, while also pulling back the unconscious Bronya. Impacted by the Honkai energy, Bronya slightly opened her eyes. What... happened?

Bronya vaguely remembered that she was fighting someone, and the battle with that person made her feel extremely heartbroken and sad, confused, lost, guilty, and remorseful... These emotions seemed to overwhelm her completely. Then, Shen Gonglin appeared. He appeared in her world like a ray of light. With him there, Bronya felt incredibly safe. And now... it seemed like she was in Shen Gonglin's arms.

The girl opened her eyes wide. It was indeed so. And not only herself, but Seele was also in Shen Gonglin's arms, and there was this thing in front of her that was radiating Honkai energy... the core of the Herrscher of Reason?

"Shen Gonglin, what happened? How did the core of the Herrscher of Reason become like that?"

Bronya instantly grasped the situation and looked up at Shen Gonglin, only to see Shen Gonglin looking rather embarrassed. Could she say that it was because she had carelessly taken out the core of the Herrscher of the Void, thus stimulating the core of the Herrscher of Reason? It seemed like she had messed things up. No, things were bound to get out of control, but maybe it had nothing to do with her at all, and she was innocent. That must be it!

"It's all because of this stupid girl. She insisted on having that thing. That thing is obviously no good. Only an idiot would want it. See? That thing is dangerous. Anyone who wants it is a fool."

Without hesitation, the blame was pushed onto Seele, while the girl who took the blame rolled her eyes at Shen Gonglin. This guy's skill at shifting blame was superb. What did this have to do with her? It was all his fault, okay? Now that the Herrscher of Reason's core was out of control like this, she obviously had no way to bring it to that snake.

"Shen Gonglin ... Bronya isn't stupid, but Bronya wants that. Bronya can feel it. It's calling to Bronya. Send me there."

Bronya quietly refuted Shen Gonglin. Here, she could feel the core of the Herrscher of Reason calling to her. She had a premonition that only in this way could she meet everyone's expectations, and only in this way could she use her own power to save Seele. She needed to get her hands on the core of the Herrscher of Reason.

Chapter 172 Seele Believes in You

Bronya wants that?

Shen Gonglin looked at Bronya in surprise. He turned his head, wanting to say something, but after meeting the girl's serious gray eyes, he didn't know what to do. Bronya was serious. From those eyes, Shen Gonglin understood that she wasn't acting impulsively, but that she genuinely wanted to do it. Having passed those trials, Bronya felt the Herrscher Core calling to her. She should be able to handle this.

"Hmm... Since you've said that, then go do what you want to do. Since you feel this is what you should do, then I'll lend you a hand."

The core of the Herrscher of Reason was radiating surging Honkai energy. Shen Gonglin was somewhat worried that Bronya's past would be affected, but seeing Bronya's resolute appearance, he knew that stopping her would probably be useless... No, it should be useful. If he spoke seriously, Bronya would definitely listen to him. But this was not what Shen Gonglin wanted. She should have her own decision. Didn't he tolerate Kiana's willfulness back then? Bronya was even younger than Kiana.

So it's acceptable to be a little willful.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here. Don't be so obvious about the double standards. Why can Sister Bronya wants, but Seele can't? Shen Gonglin, aren't you being fair? Why can Sister Bronya have it but I can't? Aren't you afraid Seele will turn evil?"

Crossing her arms, the red-eyed girl squinted at Shen Gonglin. Good grief, he's not even avoiding people anymore? His double standards are too obvious! He stopped her from getting the core of the Herrscher of Reason earlier, but now that Sister Bronya wants it, he doesn't even bother to stop her. Seele felt that this behavior was very bad. Shen Gonglin was one thing, but now even her other self was stopping her in her mind. Really.

They act like they're the only bad guy, these idiots.

[Sister Bronya, you and Shen Gonglin really get along well, Seele... is so happy.]

[Oh? Go ahead and be happy to yourself then. I'm not happy about it. Why? Just because she's Sister Bronya? Is it because my breasts aren't as big as hers, or my butt isn't as perky? Honestly, I'm not happy about this!]

[Another... other me... can't... can't say such things, at least... at least shouldn't...]

She was internally arguing with another version of herself, but Seele had indeed stopped trying to steal the Herrscher Core. Although she felt she was right, if they didn't want her to do it... she wasn't ignoring their opinions. She was just very annoyed. Why should they? Seele might be used to being submissive, but she couldn't. She didn't want to be like that.

"How can these be the same? You want to give this thing to outsiders, while Bronya just wants to play with it. A silly little girl like you can't control something like this. But Bronya has a strong will, so I don't think it'll be a big problem for her. Sweetie, I'll buy you a snake to play with after we rescue you. You don't need to play with this dangerous Herrscher Core anymore."

Shen Gonglin reached out and ruffled Seele's hair. Because he knew Bronya well and had him by her side, Shen Gonglin felt comfortable letting her touch the Herrscher Core. He also trusted Bronya's intuition; Bronya had demonstrated her accurate intuition to Shen Gonglin when they played games together. Since she felt the Herrscher Core was calling to her, she could let Bronya touch it. As for Seele, she wouldn't be able to resist.

"Who needs to play with snakes, you bastard... Sister Bronya, if you don't hand over the Herrscher Core to me, I'll be back in that void... Without the snake's help, Seele has no way to escape..."

She bared her teeth menacingly at Shen Gonglin, but to Shen Gonglin, Seele was as harmless as a cat. Realizing her threats were ineffective, Seele looked at Bronya, attempting a final effort. However, upon seeing Bronya's still calm eyes, Seele understood Bronya's thoughts. Truly, Sister Bronya; even in this situation, she maintained absolute rationality. Looking at her like this, why... why did she feel a sense of peace?

"You crave its help... It can make you disappear into the Sea of Quantum at any time if it so desires. That's not salvation at all. Bronya and Seele made a promise that she would bring her back to reality. That's why Bronya can't put your lives in the hands of the serpent. Bronya, you must take Seele away safely in your own way. Bronya must fulfill her promise to Seele."

The gray-haired girl with twin tails calmly looked at her younger sister before her, her clear gray eyes filled with unwavering determination. She had her own thoughts and plans; she wouldn't make wrong decisions because of external interference. After the confusion and trials of those three worlds, Bronya had a clearer understanding of her own heart. Perhaps it would be difficult for her to do it alone, but now that Shen Gonglin was by her side, she could do anything. Bronya grasped Shen Gonglin's hand. Seele could completely trust Bronya, because the Bronya of today...

She also has a lot of faith in herself.

"Why are you pulling me like that... Fine, fine, if you want to pull me like that, then pull me like that. I'll just keep quiet."

At the crucial moment, Shen Gonglin ruined the mood again. Under Bronya's slight gaze, he obediently shut his mouth. This guy, as long as he keeps quiet, can give people a sense of security.

"I don't want to go back there for even a second... but... Seele said she's willing to wait for you... I really... can't argue with her..."

Hesitation and inner conflict flashed repeatedly in Seele's red eyes. After a long while, Seele eyes were filled with relief. She was persuaded by the voice in her heart and Bronya. She never thought that she would be so wavering in her stance. She had already decided to do it, but in the end... Sigh, oh well, let it be. Since they are willing to believe, it is not impossible for her to believe a little. After all, this way, she can believe in herself.

As if a knot in her heart had been untied, the relatively stable space began to tremble again with Seele's surrender. Seele staggered and sat down on the ground. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, as she fell, Seele also severed Bronya and Shen Gonglin's clasped hands. If they wouldn't allow her to do such a thing, then she could at least get a little revenge.

"Seele, what's going on? Do you know what happened?!"

Ignoring such matters, Bronya cautiously observed the turbulent surroundings. She could sense that something was about to arrive. The Sea of Quantum was full of unknowns, but this feeling suggested an enemy.

"... It seems it has arrived. It doesn't expect Seele to complete the mission successfully alone. When Seele fails, it will send its familiars to forcibly take away the core of the Herrscher of Reason... Seele can feel it, sister, you're right, if it wants, I can dissipate into the Sea of Quantum at any time... What a hateful feeling. Hey, Shen Gonglin, I remember what you said before. You said you would take me out, so Seele and I will wait for you. If you dare to break your promise... I will keep writing in my diary about you being bullied down there!"

As her crimson eyes gradually dimmed, Seele felt a sense of relief. In these final moments, she looked at Shen Gonglin and threatened him fiercely. Since they had both said so, she would just have to be patient a little longer. If he dared to lie to her, no matter how long it took, she would definitely break through the Sea of Quantum to take revenge on him.

Space shattered, Shen Gonglin's "old friend" Tlaloc emerged from the crack. Its howl, which sounded like crying, made Shen Gonglin frown. It was indeed this guy. Tsk, this is troublesome. The analysis of the quantum space was not completed before, so her attacks were not very effective against it. It is a troublesome opponent.

"Seele!"

The moment the quantum creature appeared, the black tide surged and engulfed Seele. Bronya reached out to grab Seele, but the girl simply shook her head. Sister Bronya was right; trying to break through the Sea of Quantum using her previous methods was a pipe dream. If he wanted, she could be pulled into the Sea of Quantum at any time. Wouldn't that mean her life was constantly being controlled by someone else? That wouldn't be considered salvation.

"Sister Bronya, Seele, we'll always be waiting for you, Seele, believe in Sister Bronya ..."

The moment the girl touched Seele's fingertips, her body suddenly vanished. The blue light disappeared before Bronya's eyes, eventually transforming into a blue butterfly that landed on Bronya's finger. The butterfly fluttered its wings and kissed Bronya's finger. In the end, even the tiny butterfly turned into a stream of light and disappeared. But Bronya did not feel sadness; instead, she was filled with hope.

Indeed, there's nothing to be sad about. She knows Seele is still alive and well in the Sea of Quantum, waiting for her to rescue her. Now is not the time to be sad.

"Phew... Shen Gonglin, we need to hurry, Seele is still waiting for us."

The girl took a deep breath and stood up. Bronya wouldn't lose. With Shen Gonglin by her side, she definitely wouldn't lose.

Chapter 173 Controlling the Core

Bronya took a deep breath, preparing to fight alongside Shen Gonglin, but as she turned around, she felt a sense of weightlessness. The girl felt a blur before her eyes and found herself far away from the battlefield. This location... Bronya looked at the core of the Herrscher of Reason not far ahead. That's right, the core of the Herrscher of Reason is still here. According to Seele's previous statement, the target of this quantum creature is this core of the Herrscher of Reason.

Because Bronya passed the labyrinth's test, the core of the labyrinth was revealed. That's why the snake's familiar, Tlaloc, came out at this time. Its purpose was to seize the core; if it took the core, all its efforts would be in vain.

"I'll hold them off here. Bronya, you get to the core as soon as possible. We absolutely cannot let it take the core away!"

Without turning his head, Shen Gonglin gave Bronya his instructions. At the same time, he was already prepared for battle. The current situation was that his attacks could not break through the defenses of the quantum creature Tlaloc, but he had to hold it off to buy time for Bronya. In this quantum space, he could not use other powers and could only fight it with the power of the Herrscher of the Void. The parsing was very slow, like downloading a movie that was several gigabytes long on a campus network. Even so, he had to let it see the power of his high-ping warrior.

Facing such a large enemy, close combat is clearly not a suitable choice, and she does not have the strength of Durandal. However, Shen Gonglin has her own way of fighting. The power of the Herrscher of the Void is more suitable for ranged combat. This time, it is the Prince's Battle Strategy!

Shen Gonglin took a deep breath, fully preparing for battle. His purple eyes flashed with intense starlight. With a snap of his fingers, countless halos of light unfolded behind him. The Honkai energy within him transformed into countless Spear of the Void that appeared within these halos. All fear stemmed from insufficient firepower; now it was time to unleash some firepower.

We can't waste the time that Shen Gonglin bought for me; I need to speed things up on my side as well.

Glancing at the battlefield near Shen Gonglin's side, Bronya calmed down and understood what she needed to do. She struggled to her feet and walked towards the core of the Herrscher of Reason. Having endured the trials of three worlds and fought Seele, Bronya was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. However, her powerful belief kept Bronya going. Seele was waiting for her, everyone was waiting for her, even Shen Gonglin was waiting for her. Bronya could feel that she was about to gain the power to change everything, to receive the core of the Herrscher of Reason ...

I will then become the new Herrscher of Reason.

The word "Herrscher" evokes fear in most people, including Bronya herself. The consequences of Kiana becoming Herrscher are still vivid in Bronya's mind. However, after experiencing the trials of those three World Bubble, Bronya has come to understand many things. She knows what the leader of Anti-Entropy, the previous Herrscher of Reason, went through, and she knows what the Herrscher of Reason's identity represents. Perhaps she is not qualified yet, but Bronya wants to try, because only this power can bring happiness to everyone around her.

As Bronya drew closer, the Honkai energy emanating from the Herrscher of Reason continued to influence her consciousness, causing the girl's awareness to gradually blur. But then, warm memories flooded back: memories of the orphanage, of everyone gathering to celebrate Rosaria and Liliya's birthdays... memories of her, Mei, and Kiana's trip to HOMU Amusement Park when they were homeless... memories of attending classes at St. Freya, and... memories of her time with Shen Gonglin ...

Golden and warm memories surrounded Bronya, becoming the driving force that supported her to keep going. It was precisely because of these memories that Bronya had the possibility to continue. She wouldn't lose. Right now, Shen Gonglin was fighting, and Bronya firmly believed that he would never lose, so she couldn't lose face in front of Shen Gonglin. The girl tried her best to take steps closer to the Herrscher Core. It was just a mere Herrscher Core. Bronya, be good!

Without hesitation, the girl reached out and grasped the core floating before her. The once azure core had turned pure black, a sign of its loss of control. Bronya grabbed it without flinching. The warm fragments of memory were instantly scattered by the Honkai energy emanating from the Herrscher Core, but Bronya didn't care. She knew those memories would stay with her forever; this was something even an emotion suppression chip couldn't control. Honkai energy? This level of Honkai energy was simply... insignificant!

Bronya tried her best to control the Herrscher Core, but it wasn't so easy. The rampant Honkai energy surged through Bronya like a tidal wave, affecting not only her consciousness but also Bronya body. Crimson cracks began to spread from Bronya's fingers to her body, as if she were being torn apart. Cracks climbed onto her cheeks, and the immense pain made Bronya want to release the Herrscher Core. However, the girl controlled herself with her strong willpower. She couldn't let go; if she did, the core would be out of control. A black, desperate color slowly spread to Bronya's hands—the contamination of Honkai energy. If this continued, Bronya would fail.

Bronya had underestimated the power hidden within the Herrscher Core. She felt her consciousness growing increasingly hazy. Meanwhile, Shen Gonglin noticed Bronya's situation. No one knew better than him how powerful the Herrscher Core was—a power beyond human civilization. Entrusting all of this to Bronya was far too much to ask of her. He had to help her, even if only for a moment. Shen Gonglin believed that if Bronya was given even a fleeting opportunity, she would definitely be able to seize it.

It seems this is the only way. People always have to do things they think they can't do. A resolute look flashed in Shen Gonglin's eyes. He took a step forward, and a golden halo formed a staircase that slowly lifted Shen Gonglin into the sky, just like the Herrscher of the Void back then. The Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Space, the Herrscher of the Sky, the area where this power fights is undoubtedly in the sky. However, because of his fear of heights, Shen Gonglin has basically always fought on the ground. In this way, he cannot unleash the true power of the Herrscher of the Void.

[Herrscher of the Void's Ability Unleashed Level: 70%]

Hopefully she won't wet herself in fear, otherwise she'll really lose face. Although Bronya is the only one here right now, Shen Gonglin doesn't want to lose face. Standing in the sky, he heard the voice in his mind and understood immediately. At this moment, the Herrscher Shen Gonglin on his body also showed the unique skirt sash of the Herrscher of the Void. This should free up his hands to help Bronya.

Continuing the bombardment of the Spear of the Void, occupying the main battlefield in the sky, although still unable to effectively damage the quantum creature, Shen Gonglin was able to suppress it. Multitasking, Shen Gonglin opened a spatial portal in front of her. On the other side of the portal was Bronya, who was struggling with the Herrscher Core. Seeing that half of the girl's body was about to be contaminated by Honkai energy, Shen Gonglin decisively reached out and grabbed the Herrscher Core with her.

Forget about polluting Bronya, come at me if you dare.

In an instant, half of the Honkai energy surging towards Bronya was diverted by Shen Gonglin. His body already had extremely high resistance to Honkai energy, not to mention that he was currently in the form of the Herrscher of the Void. For Herrscher, Honkai energy is energy and nourishment, so Shen Gonglin had no problem absorbing this Honkai energy. However, this was a timely help to Bronya.

"... Shen Gonglin ..."

With half of the Honkai energy absorbed, Bronya's pressure suddenly eased considerably. The girl, whose consciousness was on the verge of collapse, gradually regained her composure. She struggled to open her eyes, and through her Honkai energy -filled vision, she vaguely saw a fair arm and could feel the warmth of Shen Gonglin's hand. He was holding her hand; he was with her now.

How embarrassing that I need Shen Gonglin's help. But... it's only natural that he helps me. After all, he's Shen Gonglin. It's only natural for Shen Gonglin to help Bronya.

With Shen Gonglin's help, Bronya was finally able to open her mind and take control of the Herrscher of Reason's core. The blue light reappeared, and the Herrscher Core, which had been corrupted and out of control, was slowly regaining its original radiance. Bronya also felt as if something was awakening within her, and now she felt as if she could do anything.

"Seele ..."

The core of the Herrscher of Reason completely regained its original azure color. The core slowly floated to Bronya's chest and pressed tightly against Bronya body. The blue light illuminated the entire space, and Shen Gonglin was overjoyed. Bronya had done it.

Retracting her hand, Shen Gonglin was happy for Bronya. But because of that one penny, Shen Gonglin inadvertently looked down and saw how high it was... Her fear of heights instantly kicked in. At that height, dozens of demon hunters could easily fall to their deaths, let alone Shen Gonglin.

Chapter 174 The Ghost Fire Girl Takes Action

Calm down, calm down, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore... Legend has it that human willpower is incredibly strong; some people with strong willpower can even break through steel plates. So as long as I control my willpower, imagining this high altitude as the ground shouldn't be too difficult. Calm down, I can definitely do this. It's not good to be afraid of heights as the Herrscher of the Void, especially in front of Bronya. I have to stand up straight.
