Accidents Never Warn You in Advance
After a day of searching, the group failed to find any useful information. In the evening, they took them to a barbecue stall for a short rest.
"Anyway, the beach and barbecue are the perfect combination!" Xing looked at the tempting food on the barbecue grill with longing, her mouth watering.
"Little Xing, according to the analysis, the Honkai Energy intensity of the newly obtained Dragon Fullbottles is far higher than that of other Fullbottles. It cannot be used in combination with other Fullbottles for transformation and can only be used alone. In addition, according to Dr. Tesla's autobiography, barbecue and beer are the best combination." Little Te was diligently carrying out Build's maintenance and repair work.
"Oh, then you can try pairing it with that energy bottle that also can't be paired with other Fullbottles, maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised~" Xing flicked her little head and picked her up. "Okay, working all the time is tiring, go play with Little Xuan for a while, that's an order!"
"Yes, sir, but the Armed Doll don't get tired." The crayfish put away the driver and the Fullbottles, then went off to fish with Little Xuan.
"Hmph, finish eating and keep looking." Black Seele kept sprinkling chili powder, making Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, who were standing nearby, tremble with fear. Was she planning to kill Xing with the spiciness?
"Big sister, I want to eat fried tofu."
"Honey, you probably don't think of grilled tofu as a dish, do you?"
"No, we have grilled Hiyokomaru tofu. Do you want some, Himeko?" Sachi ordered a plate of stinky tofu, skewered it on bamboo sticks, sprinkled it with chili sauce and spices, grilled it, and handed it to Hiyokomaru.
"Waaaaaah! Water, I want water!" After taking just one bite, Hiyokomaru was so overwhelmed by the excessive amount of chili sauce that Sachi had added that she questioned her existence. She ran around in agony and finally plunged headfirst into the seawater.
"Uh (⊙o⊙)... I'm sorry, I just habitually followed my own standards." Xing felt a little guilty.
"Oh, you like spicy food too?" Black Seele handed a skewer of red-dyed grilled meat to Xing with interest. Xing ate it in big bites, seemingly without any discomfort. "Yeah, I really like this stimulating feeling. By the way, have you ever tried Mapo Tofu? It's my favorite dish. After we rescue Seele, I can take you to eat spicy boiled fish, spicy chicken, fried Hiyokomaru... cough cough."
Hiyokomaru had just emerged from the water, felt as if she had heard something terrifying.
The two spice lovers found common ground and began a pleasant conversation, while the three people from Gu Shenzhou quietly moved away from them. Alas, it's a pity that their era is too far back. You know, spiciness is an important part of the Shenzhou cuisine!
Mei, who was making braised pork Mei for Kiana at the St. Freya Academy, accidentally added chili sauce instead of soy sauce, almost killing Kiana, Bronya, and Wendy on the spot.
You're asking about Fu Hua? Oh, wait a minute, let me connect with the reporter over there. Hey, KK, share your perspective with us!
Sea Abyss City, entrance to the Eye of the Abyss —
"Huff, huff, are you alright, Miss?" Welt was covered in wounds, but the Star of Eden he had created was still running.
"It's alright." Fu Hua, dressed as Shadow Knight: Moonlit Blade, calmed her mind and became extremely serious.
Ahead of them, a giant black Giant Snake lurked in the shadows; just looking into it was enough to feel an immense pressure.
"Long time no see, Hua, and also, the First Herrscher of this generation." A familiar voice entered Fu Hua's ears, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
Why did I run into him here? Where's Su? Where did he go?
She didn't know the answer to that question, but she had to stop Kevin here now, otherwise, the world would head in a very unfriendly direction. And that future was something Fu Hua absolutely could not accept.
She thought of Xing; that child had great potential, and if he continued to grow, he might one day reach a level comparable to Kevin's, but she might not live to see that day.
Goodbye, my child.
Red Feathers appeared in her hand. Although the Feather Crossing Dust was now badly damaged, if she risked everything, she should be able to use the Tai Xu Sword God one more time, right?
The tattered feather, which had burned for fifty thousand years, once again emitted a dazzling flame. Both Kevin and Welt sensed the gradually rising aura emanating from Fu Hua.
"If you want to do that, it will indeed hurt me, but you can't stop me, Hua." The man's words were devoid of any emotion, as if he were merely stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.
"No need for that. If it's just about preventing him from leaving, I can still manage that." Welt was already prepared to die. He didn't want to involve anyone else, especially his student.
Fu Hua gave him a complicated look. Perhaps she should see an ophthalmologist? This old acquaintance, with the same name and appearance, had been her history teacher for so long, right under her nose, and she'd never noticed. But there was no need to.
(I know this is Welt Young, but Old Yang is using Joyce's appearance. Fu Hua has met Joyce before.)
Just as the two were preparing to fight to the death, a helpless voice suddenly rang out without any warning.
"Hey, you two, stop risking your lives all the time, okay? Seriously, you bastard You Hui, you called me over to help, and after you held that guy back, you still want me to come here and work overtime? Didn't we agree not to interfere too much in his world?"
"What? You're saying this time it's because of an invasion that caused a timeline disruption? Fine, fine, I'll work overtime then." A greatsword engulfed in flames was planted between the two of them and Kevin. The girl in white clothes and armor casually leaned against the greatsword, looking at the black Giant Snake. "Hey, could you please go back for now? It's not your turn to make your appearance yet, Kevin Kaslana."
The three of them fell silent upon seeing the mysterious girl who had suddenly appeared.
Welt looked at Fu Hua in bewilderment. "The hidden Valkyrie of Schicksal?"
Fu Hua also looked puzzled. "Um, I'll go back and ask Otto. It must be that guy's doing. Wait, why is she wearing the Kalpas mask?"
Kevin remained silent. For some reason, he sensed a similar aura from the strange girl in front of him. However, why was she wearing the Kalpas Mask?
The girl wearing the strange mask seemed to be in a bad mood. She impatiently drew her greatsword, pointed it at the Giant Snake that Kevin had transformed into, and said, "Hey, hurry up and go back, or I'll send you to see Mei ahead of time."
Fu Hua, Kevin, and Welt: "..."
Little girl, I wouldn't even help an old lady cross the street, but you're the one I admire.
Kevin said nothing. The giant black Giant Snake opened its blood-red maw and lunged at her. The girl sighed and covered her forehead in exasperation, "Why does it have to be this way?"
Boom! She neither dodged nor flinched. Flames erupted from the greatsword in her hand, and with a powerful swing, she struck the Giant Snake's head. The black exterior shattered like porcelain, revealing a white-haired man with a cold expression. He gripped the blade with one hand, and ice spread from his hand.
"The Herrscher of Flame?"
"No, it's not just the Herrscher of Flame."
The purple gem on the sword hilt lit up, and electricity crackled in the girl's eyes. A dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the three's vision.
"Ha, I've even fought someone like you who wields the Jie Mie and controls the Power of Finality. You're nothing but weaklings now!"
When the lightning dissipated, Kevin and the girl vanished without a trace. Fu Hua and Welt looked at each other, their minds filled with questions, but neither could answer them.
The Quantum Sea
A blue and white mechanical object appeared behind the girl, raising its hands and unleashing powerful energy from its palms.
Fire!
An illusory quantum wall formed in front of Kevin, blocking the attack for him.
"Tch, the power of quantum mechanics? I have that too!"
The girl took out a black device with a blue blade, and then took out something that looked like a coin, on which Seele's image was clearly imprinted.
Insert the device, rotate the blade to scan, and a sound effect plays, "Seele".
She spun the blade all the way and pressed the trigger on the device. Strange energy enveloped her entire body. "Now, let's have some fun. No, I'm in a hurry, let's just end the battle now."
Using her temporary affinity for the Quantum Sea, she unleashed the full power of the Herrscher of Reason, and a phantom locomotive appeared behind her.
"The Key to Eternity, Thousand Worlds, Zeroth Power, Liberation."
Kevin's pupils contracted sharply, and signs of bestial transformation appeared on his body, but before he could transform, the enemy had already finished reading the pre-cast animation of their ultimate move.
"Excuse me, I've already mastered the Herrscher of Reason's abilities. Instantly constructing a pseudo- Divine Key and unleashing its Zeroth Power is a piece of cake for me. Please stay in the Quantum Sea a little longer, my ancestor~"
With a kind smile on her face, the girl locked Kevin inside the World Bubble and sank him into the Quantum Sea.
Shocking! Unfilial descendants violently imprison an elderly person – is this a distortion of humanity or moral decay? Please stay tuned for today's Divine Messenger News...
"Hey, You Hui, are you talking about me behind my back?"
Ahem, that concludes today's Divine Messenger News. See you next time!
After suppressing Kevin, the girl put away her weapon and pondered her next move. "Hmm, half of Seele in this timeline is still in that guy's hands. Can that newbie really handle it? By the way, did You Hui tell him that his predecessor left him..."
?
Upon receiving the message from You Hui, she paused for a moment, blinked, and her expression returned to its lazy state. "I see. Young people do need to be tempered. Wait, that makes me sound so old. Although I have indeed slept for a long time, I am still a young girl at heart! Since you said to let him fight alone, don't blame me if he dies."
"However, for both public and private reasons, I still have to help him out one more time. Please, Heavy-Duty Rabbit 19C, take him to where Zack is. Um, speaking of this Zack, is he good at cards? You Hui said the more unique the hairstyle, the better at cards. His hairstyle seems pretty normal..."
The mechanical creation's eyes flickered, and it transformed into a motorcycle, speeding into the depths of the Quantum Sea.
After doing all this, a portal opened beside the girl. She yawned, stepped into the portal, and said, "Alright, time to go back and play Yugi with Yue!"
——Divider——
On the beach, where the campfire flickered, Xing left the group who were enjoying their meal and sat alone by the sea, gazing into the distance.
Hiyokomaru wanted to follow, but Yae Sakura stopped her, gently shaking her head to indicate that Sachi should stay alone for a while.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for?" Black Seele walked over, frowned when she saw Xing trying to be quiet, and tried to pull him up from the beach. "Get up right now and go find a way to World Bubble!"
"Don't be in such a hurry. Some things are less likely to appear the more you look for them; instead, they'll come to you on their own. It's a classic rule!"
Black Seele was speechless for a moment. Having just finished eating, she didn't want to move, so she sat down next to Xing and followed his gaze, only to see a dark sea and a dim night sky.
Black Seele asked in confusion, "What are you looking at? You seem so engrossed in it."
"Look at the sea, isn't it beautiful?"
"What's so interesting about it? It's all just water."
Xing smiled without saying a word, and the two remained silent for a while before Xing broke the silence. "Bronya told me that she and Seele had made a promise to go to the sea, but unfortunately, because of that accident, the promise couldn't be fulfilled, right?"
Black Seele raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of displeasure, "That was an agreement made between White Seele and her, what does it have to do with me?"
Happiness turned to her and asked, "That was an agreement between Bronya and Seele. Aren't you Seele?"
"..." Black Seele lowered her head and remained silent.
Is she Seele? I remember at the beginning, Sachi called her Seele Vollerei, and to be honest, she was a little happy when she was called that.
After all, that crybaby had always called her "the other me" before, and even called her a monster when they first met, so being called by her name felt quite novel.
Seeing that Black Seele was caught in an unusual dilemma, Xing patted her on the back and smiled gently, "If you have something on your mind, look at the sea, it feels really good."
Black Seele looked up at the ebb and flow of the sea, and her mood gradually calmed down for some reason.
"Sometimes it's nice to space out. You, stop getting angry all the time, why don't you smile more? Uh, never mind." Black Seele turned her head and gave him a dark and sinister smile, which made Xing tremble all over.
Black Seele's favorability: 60→65
Heh, after looking at this guy for a while, he does become somewhat pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, he leaned back and lay sprawled on the beach, looking at the dim night sky. He sighed inwardly; he was anxious too.
Before his transmigration, Seele was his favorite character. After the transmigration, although he made many friends and his sincere feelings gradually overshadowed Seele's position in his heart, his longing for Seele never disappeared; on the contrary, it grew stronger.
Upon hearing that White Seele was still in the hands of that Chaos Emissary, he wanted nothing more than to rush over and smash that bastard's head in. But he was no longer the naive newcomer to the Honkai World, and he quickly calmed down.
According to the information revealed by the person who saved Black Seele, as long as Black Seele has not fallen into his hands, then White Seele is safe for the time being.
In that case, the only option is to find and defeat him; before that, we must not let our emotions cloud our judgment.
Moreover, according to Black Seele, based on that person's strength, defeating him through a duel seems to be a viable option.
Although those Valkyrie cards were printed by him using a printing press, with the addition of the Order Emissary, they might have an unexpected effect.
So how do I use the power of the Order Emissary? The Guidance Module says that if I confront that Chaos Emissary, it will automatically adjust the form of my power, but how exactly do I use it?
Disturbed, he got up and stared blankly at the sea, noticing that Black Seele was staring at the pendant, her clenched fingers as if she wanted to crush it.
After all, it was a tool used by the enemy to separate her from White Seele. If she could have removed it, she would have flushed it down the toilet long ago.
At this point, he subconsciously grasped the teardrop-shaped pendant that Abyss Shadow had given him. Could this have some kind of magical effect, like helping him print cards on the spot?
[Please don't have any unrealistic expectations. The Divine Envoy Abyss Shadow really just made an ordinary pendant for you.] The Guidance Module reminded you.
Xing pouted. What a spoilsport! Couldn't he just let him daydream a little longer?
Huh?
The hand holding the pendant touched her chest; there was nothing there but smooth skin.
Strange, there's nothing else here, so why do I feel like something's not right? Am I just imagining things?
Xing shook his head, and was about to pull Black Seele away from the Abyss Paradise to search for clues in other areas when a thunderbolt flashed through his mind.
What about under the Luna?!
When did my Pseudo-Judas pendant go missing?!
"Order Emissary, Part One": Only one Native Order Emissary belonging to the same Branch World can exist at a time. Furthermore, unless there is a conflict between worlds, Order Emissary from different Branch World cannot interfere with each other.
