Time to Serve the "Pufferfish" / Siegfried the Drama Queen
Damn it! The Second Herrscher, Sirin... is here!
P. S.: I don't know who tricked whom.
Chapter 349, Section 366: Just as the "pufferfish" was served.
In front of the Honkai energy reactor, the gear-shaped portal, after completing its mission, ceased operation amidst a flash of sparks.
Amidst the four-colored halo, Sirin descended the steps one by one, her golden pupils coldly sweeping over the Red Queen prostrate on her left.
"You can't even handle this small thing, yet you dare to dream of replacing humanity? Useless!"
The Red Queen, now completely wiped out by the loss of the Second Generation Sentinel, obediently buried her head even deeper, daring not to utter the slightest rebuttal.
Although Skynet originated from humans, it was favored by that [god] after landing on the Lunar Base, which enabled it to fight against the YoRHa Unit and obtain the technology of the time travel device, thus developing into its current situation.
Regardless of the outcome, the Red Queen, having suffered repeated defeats, could only cling to the leg of the divine messenger, Sirin.
After a haughty snort, the girl stepped over the pebbles and walked gracefully to the gap in the outer wall. With a light tap of her toes, invisible dark golden steps appeared in the air, overlooking the group of mischievous "canaries" on the ground.
"Hmph, it's good that the birdcage is open. Escape, you insects!"
"First give you hope, then bestow despair; the game repeated endlessly in the Tower of Babylon Tower is never boring!"
The seven members of the Snow Wolf Squad formed a circle and repelled the approaching Honkai Beast. Vice-captain Siegfried wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned as he proposed to the Second Herrscher, who was floating in the sky.
"Playing hide-and-seek? I like it! According to the rules, could you ask your puppies to be less enthusiastic and leave us a path to run for a few dozen meters first?"
"I can let you choose how you die..."
Sirin flicked her fingertips, a slight sneer on her face. One after another, purple-black orbs of light lit up around her, their terrifying pressure sending chills down everyone's spines.
At this moment, Siegfried inwardly groaned. This monster had blasted the entire Snow Wolf Squad out of the Babylon Tower with just one strike; it was ridiculously strong!
By the way, that kid on the 37th floor had better be quick-witted and run away as fast as he can.
If he were to fight desperately later, he wouldn't care about anyone else. He'd rather let any of the Snow Wolf Squad girls escape than lose them all here; it would be a huge loss.
The knights of the Kaslana family, while stalling for time with words, adjusted their breathing, gripped the [Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment] tightly, and secretly prepared a thunderous strike to create an opportunity for escape.
As the dense clusters of light around him grew larger and larger, Siegfried, unable to withstand the pressure, prepared to make the first move when Theresa suddenly rushed out from behind him.
"Sirin, I know those adults did some very terrible things to you..."
"But they're probably all dead now. It's time for you to avenge yourself..."
"Stop! If you're willing to let go of your hatred, I'll ask Grandpa to let you join the Far East Branch, become Valkyrie, and return to a normal life! I promise!"
During her previous Babylon Tower, the young nun had already ascertained the Second Herrscher's background. Her soft heart led her to want to reconcile with this girl who was also a victim.
Welt, the Herrscher of Reason who survived the First Honkai cataclysm, gradually resisted the temptation of the Honkai Will and eventually coexisted with humanity.
She believes that as long as the child can let go of his prejudices, he can still live a good life.
To show her sincerity, Theresa even stepped forward and extended her fingers towards the Second Herrscher who had landed on the ground.
Because it happened so suddenly, even Siegfried and the others didn't have time to stop it.
Sensing the Queen's inexplicable emotions, the surrounding Honkai Beast instinctively avoided Theresa's advance and instead surrounded the remaining members of the Snow Wolf Squad.
Good... the Honkai Beast are avoiding me... we can all coexist peacefully...
Theresa, who was initially nervous, noticed the instinctive behavior of the Honkai Beast around her. Her face flushed with excitement, cold sweat broke out, and her left hand clenched tightly.
When Sirin was caught off guard by Theresa's impulsive and straightforward actions, she was momentarily stunned. When she came to her senses, she found that the fair little hand had already reached out in front of her, almost touching her fingertips.
"Smack!"
The Second Herrscher instinctively stepped back, slapping Theresa's hand away with her right hand in disgust, a deep sarcasm appearing on her small face.
"A plea? Ha! You should be kneeling before me to atone for your sins!"
"Aurora, Agatha, Bella... everyone's gone. I thought I'd be next..."
"Mother said... Sirin won't be hurt by the world if she's a good child! But because of the infectious disease caused by the Babylon Tower, she can't even save herself!"
"Since God allowed me to live, then... I will return this Affliction to the world in its entirety!"
Faced with this bloody truth, Theresa wanted to argue, but she was speechless.
"Perhaps, after I've wiped out all of [God's] enemies, and after you've miraculously survived, we can continue discussing the issue of coexistence..."
"That's what... fairness is!"
With a cold smile, Sirin waved her hand lightly, and hundreds of purplish-red Light Orb condensed around her shot towards the Snow Wolf Squad. Their density was enough to induce despair.
"Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment!"
"High-frequency cutting!"
"The Dance of Slaughter!"
"A Blood-Red Whisper!"
"Tai Xu Sword Heart - Dustless!"
The Snow Wolf Squad members realized that the surrounding space was viscous and heavy, making it impossible to dodge. Their expressions changed drastically, and they all blasted away the hundred or so purple-red Light Orb that shot towards them.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, all of Sirin's attacks bypassed Theresa in front of her.
At this moment, countless lights of various colors flashed, but the combined attack of the remaining six people, after annihilating half of the purple-red Light Orb, left them pale-faced and gritting their teeth as they struggled to hold on.
"Die, you insect!"
After sensing its own power, the Second Herrscher smiled contemptuously, raised its right hand, and then suddenly grasped at the air. The three or four Light Orbs that had originally surged up around it now pressed in from all directions at its command.
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, the enormous Golden Cross swung around and smashed into Sirin's right arm, forcing her to withdraw her fingers and temporarily abandon her control over the Light Orb.
"They kept saying they wanted reconciliation, but they attacked us from behind. They're all liars!"
"No! I just don't want you to hurt my friend..."
Even so, Theresa, seeing the scattered Light Orb constantly pressing towards the Snow Wolf Squad, struggled to explain herself while silently manipulating the [Oath of Judas].
But Sirin, who was prepared, merely turned slightly and swung [Oath of Judas] several times, seemingly covering her within the attack range, yet she couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
As the Second Herrscher, in addition to the four Herrscher Core bestowed upon her by the gods on the moon, she actually possesses another Herrscher Core herself, namely the ability to manipulate space.
Having undergone baptism, she has completed the biochemical transformation of her strength, mentality, and combat skills; no one can stop the Honkai from descending!
Very well, be angry! Be in Affliction! Then tear off your hypocritical masks and show the ugliness of your true nature!
Sirin stepped back, easily dodging the attack of the [Oath of Judas]. At the same time, she clenched her right hand again, and under the distortion of spatial forces, a thin red mist of blood exploded from the six people. The situation was extremely dangerous!
P. S.: The pufferfish Sirin does have a sliver of humanity, but that's all. Expecting her to coexist with humans like Welt is simply unrealistic.
Alright, time to get ready for a raid.
Chapter 350, Section 367: The Drama Queen Siegfried
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, dazzling purplish-red virus crystals rose from the ground around the Snow Wolf Squad, blocking the spatial energy cluster from entering.
As the two came into contact, the amethyst shattered into dust, and amidst the terrifying tearing and twisting, ripples formed in the surrounding space.
The Honkai Beast that had surrounded the area to feed were utterly unlucky; unable to even utter a wail, they were sliced into countless pieces like a shattered mirror!
The Herrscher of Void — Sirin! This unpredictable spatial force is her true power!
The Snow Wolf Squad, already exhausted, stared at the earth within a hundred-meter radius that had been plowed dozens of times, and the scattered fragments of Honkai Beast nearby. They subconsciously swallowed hard.
"You're hiding your true colors, get out here!"
Seeing that her interest in teasing her prey had been interrupted, Sirin snorted and made a grasping motion in the air. The space 100 meters to the upper right of the Snow Wolf Squad suddenly collapsed, and the camouflage net formed by the Optical Camouflage was directly torn apart.
Holding her lover in her arms, Ouma Mana, relying on her terrifying intuition, broke free of the cage a second before the spatial compression formed and landed in front of Siegfried and the others.
Holy crap! Another Herrscher!
Siegfried felt a chill run down his spine, and the others behind him also tensed up and became wary. Their eerie, almost horrified gazes were all focused on the man being embraced by the Herrscher.
"We made it! Thank goodness you're alright, Dad!"
Kevin stepped out of Ouma Mana's arms with a sigh of relief, then hugged Siegfried tightly.
"Is Father well..."
Ouma Mana turned to face Sirin, raised one hand, and sharp, purplish-red crystal thorns rose up one after another, forming a solid wall, while she called out to Siegfried in a shy tone.
"You, me, Zhenming, and Theresa will cover the rear. The rest of you, exhausted, get out of here!"
Upon seeing Kevin's lip movements, Siegfried immediately understood and displayed his acting prowess. His gaze towards Ouma Mana was filled with affection and satisfaction, before turning into a resolute expression.
"Daughters-in-law, seeing you one last time is enough for me to die without regrets! I'll hold them off here, you all retreat first! Once the [dome] breaks, immediately notify Bishop Otto!"
"We must ensure that the Kaslana Family's knightly bloodline is passed down!"
Immediately, the scumbag summoned the Skyfire Greatsword and charged towards Sirin with sparks and lightning.
Damn it! We agreed you were just dragging me down with you, why all the drama?! You're such a show-off!
As Kevin muttered these thoughts to himself, his wings unfurled, and he met the Demon Dragon Bella circling in the sky.
Meanwhile, the second YoRHa Unit, equipped with variable-speed fighters, swooped down one after another, each carrying a member of the Snow Wolf Squad, and turned to leave the battlefield.
When Sirin saw that her prey was about to fly away, she was furious. A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket raged behind her and cleaved the annoying little girl Theresa in two.
While Siegfried's Skyfire Greatsword cleaved through everything in its path, shattering both Honkai Beast and wind walls in its path, his sword-wielding speed was far slower than Sirin's wind wall creation speed, making it impossible for him to get close.
Worse still, darkness fell suddenly, and countless spheres of spatial energy pressed towards the YoRHa Unit.
"Darling!"
Seeing that Kevin was within the energy sphere's range, Ouma Mana immediately began to chant. Driven by her song, the Void value within her body increased exponentially, and fan-shaped purplish-red crystal chips protected Kevin and the others.
"Traitor! You actually betrayed us and betrayed us; you are utterly unworthy of the blessings of [God]!"
After her attacks were repeatedly thwarted by Ouma Mana, Sirin, enraged, decided to eliminate the immediate trouble ahead of time.
The Second Herrscher twisted her hands as if manipulating Rubik's Cube. Siegfried and Theresa rushed halfway, only to find that the space around them was constantly twisting, and a silver-purple transparent barrier was constantly cutting through the area around them.
Knowing she couldn't eliminate the two in a short time, Sirin tore through space and threw the two Space Prison imprisoning Theresa and Siegfried into them.
The moment she finally freed her hands, a terrifying, ocean-deep pressure converged on the most threatening person Ouma Mana.
Ouma Mana screamed, her Void stats reaching their peak, and layers of purplish-red virus crystals enveloped her body like flower petals.
Even so, the invincible spatial force easily eroded the barriers she had created.
"Since you like humans so much, then go to hell with them!"
With a cold laugh, Sirin slowly pushed forward with her right index finger. The transparent giant sword formed by spatial forces advanced layer by layer, unstoppable.
Ouma Mana tried desperately to break free, but her body felt like it was stuck in mud. With the surrounding space locked, she could barely move. In despair, she could only turn her head back, hoping to leave the last reflection in her eyes for her beloved Adam.
However, in the blink of an eye, the YoRHa Unit had already withdrawn, and Kevin had also vanished without a trace.
It's good that you got out safely...
Ouma Mana harbored no resentment and was preparing to close her eyes to face death when a sharp, metallic clang pierced her eardrums.
She opened her eyes in astonishment and immediately saw the man, who had increased his speed to the extreme, turn into a blurry shadow. The Eclipse Greatsword in his hand was wielded with increasingly ferocious force amidst sharp explosions in the air.
Due to the tricky angle, Sirin was Oldest One caught off guard and was caught off guard and approached. The girl, who was not good at fighting, instinctively panicked and retreated, waving her hands wildly as flames, wind blades, and Lightning Serpent came crashing down on her all at once.
But the Eclipse Greatsword on Kevin's body, though seemingly clumsy, was actually simple and unadorned. As it repeatedly broke through those energy clusters, the greatsword traveled in an arc in the air, using the recoil to accelerate its attack towards Sirin's vitals.
With each strike, the recoil was absorbed into Kevin's arm strength and channeled into the Eclipse Greatsword, causing its power to surge dramatically.
This is a sophisticated sword technique that incorporates the principle of using leverage to return force, but its only drawback is that the human body inevitably has its limits.
When the ninth sword strike was unleashed, the Eclipse Greatsword was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks, Kevin's capillaries burst, his right arm turned bluish-purple, and blood mist gushed from his body.
Similarly, Sirin, who was relentlessly attacked after her close-combat weakness was exploited, was also in bad shape. The wind pressure generated by the sword blade tore open her arms, and even a string of blood beads seeped from the left side of her delicate face.
Even so, despite the seemingly fierce and relentless attacks that put Sirin in grave danger, the Second Herrscher remained completely unharmed in any vital areas.
On the contrary, Kevin, who clearly had the upper hand at this moment, would probably be torn apart by the terrifying power if he continued to swing his tenth sword, even if he didn't hurt Sirin.
