The Demon Dragon Bella Turns the Tables
At this moment, the pure white [god] gracefully descended from the ancient throne, lifted the girl's chin with his right hand, and kissed her forehead with a smile.
In that instant, Sirin's golden pupils reflected the scene of her being pierced through the core by that White Knight's lance. The gentle face opposite her was both familiar and strange, her eyes filled with determination.
"Sirin, my daughter, I'm so sorry, Mother will come to be with you..."
Finally, under that gentle whisper, she hugged herself tightly, and the two figures, one large and one small, completely dissolved in the bombardment of the Honkai Fission Bomb.
This is my... future?!
If you continue down the same path, that will be your future...
"[God] spoke thus in Sirin's mind."
I can't believe I was defeated by that hypocritical woman! No way!
Sirin refused to believe it, shaking her head frantically, but for some reason, tears kept flowing, as if that final farewell and comfort had struck the softest part of her heart.
She even found herself unable to muster the slightest desire for revenge, despite having died at the hands of that woman.
However, as memories flashed by, her four companions, whom she had created with her own hands, fell one by one to the Valkyrie's attacks, and even Bella perished tragically on the snowy plains...
No! I absolutely cannot lose! It's the world that's hurting us!
"[God], please give me guidance!"
Sirin wiped away her tears, her eyes firm and resolute.
If you want to win, strike first!
Go forth, take the key that belongs to you, discard your human weaknesses, and you will ascend to godhood!
The figure in the palace smiled with satisfaction, his right index finger lightly touching the girl's forehead, and the pure white temple gradually vanished without a trace.
When Sirin awoke from the spatial turbulence, she was shocked to find herself lying on the back of the Demon Dragon Bella, whose Companion Honkai Beast, which had fought desperately against the Spatial Storm, was on the verge of death.
Just as Bella's eyes were about to close, a crystal tear fell into its dragon eye. As the girl uttered her resolute vow, the final "weakness" separated from her soul at that moment.
"We will not lose! We absolutely cannot lose!"
"She was supposed to be my weakness, but now that I've gone one step further than her, I'll become her weakness too!"
"Get close to her, retrieve the key, and eliminate her! That's your mission! Bella will help if necessary!"
As the chaotic space was torn open again, a comatose little girl with black hair, cradling a bluish-green lizard, landed beside the critically injured and dying Siegfried.
As for Sirin, she needs time to recover, and even more time to wait.
In fact, according to the normal course of history, Fu Hua Immortal Vermillion Bird, should have used the Great Void Sword God, which could directly strike the unknowable parts of the depths of consciousness, and completely sever the connection between Sirin and the [god].
However, due to the addition of too many variables, Fu Hua's power was ultimately exhausted prematurely, and her consciousness fell into chaos.
Therefore, [God] still resides deep within Sirin's consciousness, continuing to protect and cherish her apostle.
It's a pity that I received divine revelation, while you can only remain stagnant.
If these factors that could lead to failure are eliminated in advance, no one can stop the Honkai from descending in the future!
When I truly awaken, it will be the day you all wail in despair at this destruction!
Within the Spatial Rift, Sirin closed her eyes contentedly, secretly absorbing Honkai energy to heal herself.
Just two months later, as she gradually awoke, she found that the commands she conveyed were being resisted by the body.
Ultimately, Sirin had no choice but to prepare herself, tearing open space and descending into the depths of the dense forest by the river.
Coincidentally, the "key" she longed for broke away from the group and was drawn to that body alone.
Since that's the case, let's defeat them one by one!
As Sirin secretly manipulated the Power of Space to eliminate the traitor of [God], an unexpected change occurred: the body chose to smash into Ouma Mana, taking the fatal blow for her.
The Demon Dragon Bella lay in the girl's arms, whimpering constantly, and even used her head to nudge the girl's drooping arms.
What a... useless... good-for-nothing!
Sirin stared furiously at the girl lying in a pool of blood, her eyes gradually losing their color.
Immediately, the Second Herrscher, in coordination with Bella, crippled the already injured Ouma Mana in just a few breaths, and then stuffed her into Spatial Rift.
Amidst the ever-increasing clamor, Kevin and Cecilia witnessed Sirin, now with a changed hair color, leading "Ouma Mana," created using the Herrscher Core of Death, out of the dense forest.
Now that I have the "key," it's my turn to eliminate these dangerous factors!
Thus, the Second Herrscher, having arrived, took Cecilia and returned to the courtyard, while the created Pseudo-Herrscher was left behind to join forces with the Demon Dragon Bella, who was lurking deep in the forest, to eliminate Kevin, a mere nobody who did not appear in the future.
A Pseudo-Herrscher and a Judgment-class Honkai Beast are sending you on your way. I've been kind enough to you, brother!
However, Sirin never expected that the trap, which even Cecilia hadn't noticed, would be seen through by this hopeless nobody in front of her.
The Second Herrscher, suspended in mid-air, was lost in thought, its eyes sweeping downwards. The spatial energy sphere it had launched suddenly came to a halt, converging on its right side.
A figure that seemed to move through the air was tightly restrained. Although the fisherman repeatedly escaped danger with his skillful maneuvers, the fishing boat in the giant waves was always in danger of capsizing.
Inch Heart Fist - Cloud Mist Style! Fu Hua Immortal Vermillion Bird! You've finally arrived!
"Kevin! Kill her!"
Siegfried forced himself to his feet, knocked over the clothes rack, pulled out [Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment], connected it, and threw it to Kevin in the courtyard. With a hoarse roar, his exhausted body continuously oozed a ghastly amount of blood.
Immediately, the Dark Red Greatsword fell into the commander's hand, and beneath the icy frost, raging flames swept across the sky.
However, before the flames could even get close, they were completely sucked away by the green wind energy barrier.
"Very well, everyone's here! I'm going to send you all to hell now!"
Sirin fought three opponents single-handedly, yet remained completely at ease, coldly summoning the Sword of Death [Black Abyss] from the Sixth Divine Key with a casual smile.
As the sword was swung, layers of deathly gray mist spread out, and wherever it passed, vegetation withered and the sounds of insects ceased.
After Kevin stepped forward to take the blow head-on, the gray energy condensed into threads, taking root in his wrist and spreading straight towards his heart.
We can't win! We absolutely can't win!
"Fu Hua! I order you, take Siegfried away immediately!"
The commander Affliction closed his eyes slightly, then his right arm was covered in azure frost, temporarily suppressing his death aura, while Kevin, gripping the Skyfire Greatsword, had murderous intent blazing in his eyes.
He can only save Siegfried now; as for the remaining townspeople, he can only hold them off for as long as possible, giving them more time to escape.
After all, from a shady perspective, the more people who escape, the more dispersed the target becomes, and the greater the chances of Siegfried and his companion surviving.
"None of you are leaving!"
Sirin frowned and snorted coldly. With a twist of her hands, layers of silver-gray Spatial Barrier condensed, gradually sealing off the area around the courtyard.
At the same time, a ferocious roar came from the sky, and a hideous shadow plummeted down!
Demon Dragon Bella has arrived!
P. S.: How did Irene come to be? Why didn't she have Herrscher Core on her back then? In the grove, who killed whom? And who took the hit for whom? The first mystery has been solved.
Chapter 371, Section 388: The Reverse Push of the Demon Dragon Bella
"Boom!"
Amidst the deafening explosions, Lightning Serpent danced wildly, frost splattered, and the dark sky was instantly illuminated as bright as day. The nearly closed Space Prison gradually twisted and shattered.
The well-trained townspeople hurriedly got up, lined up, and headed towards the scene of the incident, but they were unable to get around the Spatial Barrier hanging from the sky.
On the rooftop, Fu Hua felt the stagnation around her vanish, and immediately leaped down, helping the collapsed Siegfried to his feet and moving closer to Kevin.
Kevin's surprise and doubt slowly subsided, and he stepped forward to stand alongside the falling dragon.
"You dare betray me... Bella!"
Sirin stared at the demonic dragon in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by energy clusters of fire, lightning, and ice, her eyes filled with astonishment and anger.
At the same time, she instantly understood why Kevin was able to return unscathed from the attacks of the Pseudo-Herrscher and the Demon Dragon Bella.
It turns out that this Honkai Beast, her knight, had already betrayed her!
Why?! Don't forget who gave you a second life!
She never expected that her Companion Honkai Beast would side with humanity and break her seal on the space at the crucial moment.
At this moment, the lightning subsided, the ferocious dragon gradually shrank, and transformed into a cool and aloof girl with gray hair, blue eyes, and dark blue wings on her back.
"Your Her Majesty the Queen, please spare them. At least give Mistress Irene a chance to choose. I beg you..."
The Honkai Beast girl, who resembled her best friend Bella, knelt down respectfully, her face full of sincerity.
[God] What did she see? The nemesis of mankind, the Demon Dragon Benares, was actually pleading with the Queen she served for the life or death of these insects!
"Do you even know what you're saying, Bella!"
The endless stream of unexpected events made Sirin, who was already in a state of inner turmoil, speak with a chill in her voice.
"If you spare them today, I'm willing to go back and accept self-destruction..."
Those pure eyes gazed at her, much like that departed friend. She always liked to think of others, and even though she was very afraid of pain, she would always be the first to shield herself and undergo the experiment.
"So, even you've wavered after spending so much time with these insects?"
"My biggest mistake was giving you a human heart!"
After Bella bowed respectfully, she slowly rose, her cool voice reaching Kevin and the others.
"The Queen will not let you get away with this! Now's the time to leave!"
"Ouma Mana is in His Majesty's hands; it is the key she uses to open the forbidden door..."
"You can't win, don't come back..."
Immediately, Bella pushed the three of them out of the gap in the Spatial Barrier. In the instant Kevin looked back, he was shocked to find that Bella had reverted to her dragon form, and the three violent powers of fire, lightning, and frost had strangely merged into one and transformed into each other.
Your Her Majesty the Queen, perhaps you are right, we Honkai Beast should never have human hearts...
This thing... is so soft... but at the same time... it's so warm... Bella is so happy to have this memory...
Thank you for giving me a name... Thank you, Master Irene, for keeping me company... Thank you Cecilia Mother, for the cake...
I really want to eat it again...
Dragon Form - Doomsday Arrival!
The elegant, ice-blue scale-covered dragon roared, its neck raised, causing the houses on both sides to collapse. With a swing of its giant claws, the conductive orbs scattered, forcing Sirin to concentrate on defense.
Immediately, Bella swept her tail across the ground, forming an icy prison that spread outwards in three waves. Layer upon layer of ice spikes rose from the ground, forcefully piercing through the fire tornado set up by Sirin.
Immediately following, the dragon, well aware of Her Majesty the Queen's power, began to spew Dragon Flame incessantly, distorting and deforming the surrounding space, making it difficult for Sirin to utilize Power of Space to organize an effective resistance.
In the battle between the two sides, Bella's side seemed to be in a very favorable position, but this was already the limit that she could achieve after burning the Pseudo-Herrscher Core.
In a maximum of ten minutes, she will completely lose her humanity and degenerate into Honkai Beast that preys on humans solely on instinct.
Even with such a powerful attack, Sirin, who had already fused all five Herrscher Core, secretly constructed a spatial node and instantly descended above Bella's head.
The instant Her Majesty the Queen waved her hand, the indestructible spatial blade easily sliced through the dragon scales on her head, piercing into her flesh and causing intense pain.
With its powerful physique, the dragon used every means at its disposal—pouncing, tearing, and whipping—and despite being covered in blood, it remained steadfast in its promise.
"Enough! Kneel down!"
With a chilling roar from Sirin, a greatsword formed from dark red flames pierced Bella's wings, pinning the dragon to the ground.
"I'm giving you one more chance. Now come with me and kill those insects that are shaking your resolve, and you can still be Bella again..."
"Otherwise, you can take everything I've given you!"
For the first time, the proud Queen lowered her stubborn and headstrong head, looked intently at her former companions, gritted her teeth and snorted coldly. At the same time, a spatial gate behind her was gradually taking shape.
As the battle drew to a close, the town was in ruins, with two-thirds of the houses reduced to ashes.
There were no cries for help or wails at the scene; they must have all left, and hopefully they'll never come back.
Bella struggled to her feet, only to find that the flaming greatsword pinned to her wing had been removed by Her Majesty the Queen, whose gaze toward her held a hint of earnestness.
The dragon's battered body gradually shrank, transforming into the appearance of a normal human.
I knew you would make the right choice, because Honkai is our very nature!
Sirin snorted and generously reached out to help Bella, who was clutching her right arm, to her feet.
"Your Her Majesty the Queen, actually, I saw you smile the most when you were with Lin..."
