Highmore pieced the two Cipher Plate together.

Chapter 50 I am your Companion Honkai Beast

A crystalline blue light shone in the cave, some of which merged into Wendy's body, while the rest quickly spread out, dispersing the cave into a blue expanse.

With the treatment from the Cipher Plate, the purple Honkai Energy patterns on Wendy's face quickly faded, and her complexion looked rosier.

But...

Highmore looked at Wendy's legs, which were wrapped in bandages, and there was still a lot of purple seepage under the bandages.

As expected, the area where the gemstone was implanted was the most severely eroded...

Highmore carefully unwrapped the bandages on Wendy's legs one by one, gently tracing the lines on her legs with her fingers, feeling the Honkai Energy seeping out from them.

The situation is still not optimistic...

Hey, why did Wendy's leg move?

Highmore looked up in surprise. Wendy had already opened her eyes and was looking at Highmore with a shy and surprised look in her eyes.

"Highmore... Waaah, I knew it was you... I knew you wouldn't just die like that..."

Wendy suddenly sat up and pounced on Highmore, pinning her to the ground.

Looking at the girl's tearful eyes, Highmore smiled indulgently, ran her fingers through Wendy's hair, and teased her as usual.

"Wendy, I didn't realize you liked me so much. You even carry me with you."

Wendy raised her head, but to Highmore's surprise, she didn't turn her head away with a slight blush as before. Instead, she stared straight at Highmore, her eyes filled with such intense emotion that they seemed about to overflow.

"I just like you, I just like you, I just like you! You told me before that important things should be said three times!"

"Huh?"

Wendy's undisguised confession made Highmore a little shy. She turned her head slightly, trying to change the subject to ease her embarrassment.

"Wendy, when did you start playing such a straight shot? This isn't like you at all."

"Don't move away!"

Wendy turned Highmore's face back to meet her gaze into Highmore's beautiful blue-purple gradient eyes.

"If I don't tell you properly now, what if you leave without a word again? What if, what if this is just a dream before you die..."

As she spoke, Wendy's voice trembled with sobs.

"This might be my last chance to see you, so don't look away, look at me carefully!"

Seeing Wendy's slightly reddened eyes, Highmore felt a pang of heartache and reached out to stroke her cheek.

"Don't worry, I won't leave, and this isn't a dream."

"Since you want my answer, then naturally I will meet your expectations."

"From now on, I will always be with you, and always will be."

As she spoke, Highmore raised her head and slowly moved closer to Wendy, whose eyes widened in surprise.

After a brief moment of surprise and shyness, Wendy quickly used her advantage of being in a superior position to regain the initiative.

"Mmm, mmm..."

After a long while, with a strand of silver thread pulled out, the two finally separated.

Looking at the shyness and blush on the other person's face, Highmore suddenly chuckled.

"Silly boy, are you relieved now?"

"Hmm, I'm relieved. Even if you tell me it's just an illusion, I'll be satisfied!"

Wendy had a bright and satisfied smile on her face.

"But it's not an illusion."

Highmore, whose face was still slightly flushed, poked Wendy's cheek.

"Real?"

Wendy tilted her head.

"Real."

Highmore nodded repeatedly.

"That..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Highmore quickly reached out to stop Wendy from pressing forward again.

"Let's get down to business first, we'll talk about it later..."

"All right..."

Wendy sat up and then obediently leaned against Highmore.

"You... don't you have anything to ask?" Seeing that Wendy didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, Highmore tilted her head.

"No, I just need to be sure that Highmore is Highmore, that's enough."

Wendy shook her head contentedly.

"After all, I don't have much time left. I just want to spend more time with you. Those complicated things just sound like a hassle."

"Silly girl, who said you were going to die?" Highmore pinched Wendy's cheek angrily. "You think you can just run away after confessing? No way! I'm going to make sure you stay with me for the rest of your life!"

"But... I know my own body... This situation is inherently an unsolvable problem..."

"What if I came here to save you?"

"Huh?"

"Why don't you guess who I am first?"

Highmore shook her finger with a mysterious smile.

"Identity? What identity?" Wendy blinked.

"Did I look like Pseudo-Herrscher when I looked before?"

"Hmm... like the little jellyfish we used to keep at home."

"What are you thinking about?" Highmore grabbed Wendy's cheeks and pinched them into various shapes.

After a while, Highmore, having vented her anger, finally let go of Wendy.

"Haven't you ever thought about where your Companion Honkai Beast is, as Herrscher?"

"Eh, eh eh eh?" Wendy blinked. "Can Herrscher has acquired that kind of thing also have it?"

"Perhaps... because you're an exception?" Highmore smiled gently. "Having reminded me to this extent, you should be able to guess what I'm trying to say."

"My master~"

"Huh?!"

"You, what did you call me...?" To Highmore's surprise, Wendy seemed to have no resistance to the word, and looked like she was floating on air.

"Of course it's Master~ I am your Companion Honkai Beast, aren't you my master?"

Highmore held Wendy's hand in her own palm.

"This... this title might be a little bad for my heart..."

Wendy tried to calm herself down, and after a while, she finally turned her attention back to the topic itself.

"But I clearly saw it then... Could it be that it wasn't you?"

"Child, that's me." Highmore's expression was one of concern for people with intellectual disabilities. "Can't you tell?"

"But, but isn't this..." Wendy raised her hand and stroked the Highmore, which had the same pattern as the one on her ear.

"Because this body was originally created so that I could see you more easily. In a sense, that giant jellyfish is my true form."

"As for this body, the reason you think it's the same as a normal person's is because it's the result of evolution that I can control."

"For example, I can evolve to be like a human, but I can also become different."

Highmore grabbed one of her arms, and then, to Wendy's astonishment, the arm began to gradually transform into clusters of tentacles.

Highmore casually tore off one tentacle and handed it to Wendy. Then the remaining tentacles reassembled, transforming back into the shape of her previous arm.

"As for the one in your hand... it's just my accessory limb. This kind of behavior has basically no effect on me. In fact, you can even eat it if you want."

"Strictly speaking, this is my ability. These cells are called Sea Creatures cells. I can freely control their number in my body and control their evolution in various directions."

"Of course, the normal evolution speed would not be this outrageous. It would probably only be about one percent of this speed. The current speed is the result of my deliberate use of Honkai Energy to accelerate it."

Chapter 51: I'll add you to the Swarm when I'm 50.

"How about that?" Looking at the stunned Wendy, Highmore revealed a satisfied smile, "Now you see, even though you are Herrscher, I am more like a monster than you."

"But... if you can modify your body so easily, then why did you..." Wendy tilted her head.

"Because... I really did die then."

Highmore immediately felt Wendy's body stiffen, and she quickly comforted Wendy, explaining:

"You can understand it as my life form being somewhat special."

"The me in Oceania is not my true form. My true form has long been distributed throughout this sea area. Every creature here contains some Sea Creatures cells."

"Back when I was at the Oceania Branch, that anesthetic had a power similar to the Key of Binding. In an instant, the Honkai Energy on my body was wiped out."

"Without the supply of energy and catalysis, the Sea Creatures cells in my body were naturally unable to cook without rice. After a symbolic resistance for a while, they could not withstand the damage from the excessive drug."

"After my clone in the Oceania Branch died, my consciousness awoke again from the sea. However, before I could regenerate a body, I sensed the energy fluctuations of your Herrscherization."

"Once you Herrscherization, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. The power of this body alone will not be enough to protect you. So, I spent some time gathering all the Sea Creatures cells scattered in the sea and then forming my most powerful form, which is the form you just saw— Paranoid Bubble."

"So... you died once and were resurrected?"

"It's more accurate to say that the scattered consciousnesses have come together again, while the original body was indeed dead."

"But none of that matters anymore." Highmore grinned mischievously and pressed her cheek against Wendy's, rubbing against her like a little animal. "After all, you've already avenged me, right, Master?"

However, to her surprise, Wendy had just been very sensitive to the word, managed to adjust herself in a short time.

"That's right~"

Wendy turned her head and bit Highmore's soft cheek.

"Ugh, what are you doing...?"

"Hmph, you didn't think I'd still be as shy and passive as before, did you?" Wendy released Highmore and boasted triumphantly, "After this experience, I've learned my lesson! Life is about enjoying the moment, not giving up on delicious food just because you're shy!"

"So, if a sea salt flavored cake like yours dares to be delivered to my door, I'm willing to eat it in one bite!"

Wendy made an "ah-woo" gesture.

"Damn it... Is this fate? Even Wendy's starting to become the dominant one..."

Highmore muttered to herself in grief and indignation.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Wendy asked, glancing at Highmore, who seemed to have suddenly become depressed.

"No, it's nothing... I was thinking about treating your body."

Highmore subtly steered the conversation back on track.

"So, do you know why I went to explain the essence of my ability in such detail, even though you said you didn't care before?"

"Huh? Is it so I can find out that I'm actually your master?"

Why are you still thinking about this?

Highmore sighed as she caught Wendy, who was about to hug her again, with one hand.

"Wendy, you should know that the reason you've become like this is because your body couldn't withstand the Herrscher Core, right?"
