Honkai, I'll Transform and Punch You Directly

Trying to pretend you had two souls in one body in front of someone who was literally hosting a party inside his body? The number of souls in him was enough to field a football team!

"Tch, that was that guy's doing."

Even though the Herrscher of the Void realized Bai Chen was telling the truth, she still desperately tried to distance herself from it.

"Oh? Not calling her an idiot anymore?"

Bai Chen figured that perhaps even the Herrscher of the Void felt embarrassed about insulting her? Yet she was too stubborn to admit that she and Kiana were the same person.

"You!"

Just as the Herrscher of the Void was about to speak, Bai Chen flashed over to Kiana's side.

Seeing her slightly pale face, he knew she must have suffered badly just now.

"Bai Chen..."

Kiana looked at Bai Chen with a complicated expression, unsure what to say for a moment.

"Whatever she said to you, Kiana, you need to know this: without you, there would be no me as I am now."

As the only phantom present, Bai Chen could guess that the Herrscher of the Void had been using this place to crush Kiana's spirit.

Judging from Kiana's current state, her mental condition was terrible... Wait.

Kiana, who had originally been listless, suddenly felt something tighten around her head. It felt as though something soft and smooth had been placed over her face, yet she could not see it.

At the same time, Kiana suddenly felt much better. The boulder that had been weighing on her heart seemed to have been swept away completely.

"You! What did you do?!"

The Herrscher of the Void immediately noticed that the negative emotions she had worked so hard to build up had vanished without a trace.

"Right, Bai Chen, what did you put on my head? I feel ridiculously good now."

Having instantly regained her energy, Kiana began feeling around the invisible thing on her face. It seemed to be some kind of fabric?

"A goddess's blessing. Some things are better left unclear."

Bai Chen answered righteously, without the slightest trace of shame on his face.

Yes, the invisible panties he had put over Kiana's head. The facts proved that these panties were truly a divine artifact: not only could they block memory intrusions, they could also eliminate negative emotions.

They were ridiculously awesome, though also kind of a mood-killer.

"You bastard! Get out!"

Unable to bear it any longer, the Herrscher of the Void immediately attacked, intending to drive Bai Chen out. The negative emotions she had painstakingly accumulated had been wiped clean by some bizarre object?

The Queen of the Void was furious. Now, she was going to massacre everything in this dream!

Under her control, a Subspace Spear shot straight toward Bai Chen, attempting to skewer him through and through.

"Bai Chen, watch out!"

Seeing the attack nearly reach him while Bai Chen made no move to dodge, Kiana hurriedly called out a warning.

The Herrscher of the Void secretly rejoiced. She had thought Bai Chen could fight, but he was actually this weak. As expected of me—I was still this powerful!

Then she discovered that her Subspace Spear had stopped in front of Bai Chen, unable to advance even half an inch.

"What's going on?"

The Herrscher of the Void hurriedly increased her strength, preparing to kill the thing in front of her.

Then she discovered something terrifying: she had lost control of that Subspace Spear!

Bai Chen glanced at the Subspace Spear, which was only a few centimeters away from piercing him, with a surprised expression. It seemed there was no cooldown on using skills in dreams?

Under Bai Chen's control, the Subspace Spear turned toward the Herrscher of the Void and shot at her fiercely.

"Damn it! You fake!"

The Herrscher of the Void immediately raised a hand and spread out a black membrane, trying to block the attack.

"Snap!"

With a snap of Bai Chen's fingers, the membrane that had not fully unfolded shut and vanished again!

"You!"

The Herrscher of the Void hurriedly twisted aside to evade the attack, her eyes hidden in the shadows staring at Bai Chen in disbelief.

"Nice! Bai Chen, beat her up! She started trash-talking me the moment she showed up—teach her a proper lesson!"

Seeing the Herrscher of the Void fall into a disadvantage, Kiana cheered excitedly.

"Impossible! How did you do it?! That's clearly my Authority!"

The Herrscher of the Void naturally knew Bai Chen could use the authority of space as well, but that authority should have crushed him. Why did she seem like the counterfeit instead?

"Who knows?"

Of course Bai Chen knew why, but he was not stupid enough to tell her.

Because this was a dream, his abilities did not need to follow the same strict rules as they did in reality. After all, it was only a dream.

In his current state, becoming the Herrscher of the Void in the real world would definitely require transforming and enduring emotional contamination. But in a dream, he only needed to want it.

In a sense, this was no longer a contest of whose authority was stronger, but whose mental strength was greater.

Unfortunately for her, Bai Chen's mental fortitude was anything but ordinary after dying hundreds of times in the training space.

Just as the Herrscher of the Void was about to do something, Bai Chen immediately used the authority of space to shift himself, appearing behind her in an instant.

"Presumptuous human, let go of me at once!"

Ignoring the Herrscher of the Void's shouts, Bai Chen reached out and tightly seized both her arms, pinning her in place.

The Herrscher of the Void desperately tried to break free from Bai Chen's restraint, but it was completely useless. Bai Chen's arms clamped down on her like iron pincers.

At the same time, every bit of her authority over space failed, as though something had locked it away. Panic surged within the Herrscher of the Void, along with a despair much like when Siegfried had transformed into that strange form and raised the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment to strike her down!

"Now!"

At Bai Chen's call, the Herrscher of the Void noticed that Kiana, who had been studying the thing on her head all this time, had stopped what she was doing and approached with an ill-intentioned smile.

"Wait, what are you trying to do?"

A bead of cold sweat slid down the Herrscher of the Void's cheek. What was this idiot in front of her trying to do?! Why was that smile so lewd?! Could it be... No, she couldn't do that!

"I got curious when I saw Little Bai touching it just now. Let me see what it feels like!"

Kiana made no attempt to hide what she was thinking.

"Don't! It feels the same no matter who touches it!"

With nearly all her abilities erased by Bai Chen, the Herrscher of the Void could only fling her legs about in a vain attempt to kick away the approaching Kiana. Perhaps it was an illusion, but she saw black light emerging from Kiana's hands!

"Smack."

Kiana's palm landed on the Herrscher of the Void's thigh with a crisp sound. The Herrscher of the Void's resistance was utterly powerless against Kiana at this moment.

"Eek!"

The Herrscher of the Void stared at Kiana's hand in terror. She could now clearly feel the warmth coming from that bastard's palm!

That disgust, that fear! It was like waking up in the morning to find a cockroach beside her pillow!

"Hehehe."

Accompanied by Kiana's strange laughter, her hand began to wander restlessly. Compared to Bai Chen's mere touch, she was now groping with force as though she were feeling herself up!

Her hand even gradually moved upward, exploring toward that mysterious place.

"Don't!!!"

The Herrscher of the Void screamed until her voice cracked. She had finally reached her limit!

In the blink of an eye, Bai Chen's consciousness was expelled, and he returned to his bed.

"Huh?"

Bai Chen sat up in bed, recalling the feeling of grabbing the Herrscher of the Void's hands. He had clearly held her down so firmly—why had he suddenly been kicked out?

Bai Chen had some experience with mental matters, yet there had been no warning at all.

Could it be that the Herrscher of the Void had voluntarily canceled the dream?

Kiana had used the ultimate insult on the Herrscher of the Void! The Queen of the Void could not bear the humiliation and fled!

Thinking about it, though, it was perfectly normal. The Herrscher of the Void was not that old to begin with; even if she died, she was still only an underage child.

The reason she gave off such an imposing impression was merely because no one had ever been able to completely suppress her. The moment someone like Bai Chen appeared and drove her into despair, she would easily break down.

Seeing how late it was, Bai Chen decided to sleep first. He could ask Kiana about the rest tomorrow.

Afterward, Bai Chen flung Yuno from beneath the covers out the window and returned to his slumber.

The next day, Bai Chen saw the lively and energetic Kiana in the classroom, as though nothing had happened the night before.

"Little Bai, what exactly did you put on my head? I couldn't take it off. Why was I wearing something in the dream, but it was also there in reality? Did you come into my room last night?"

The moment she arrived, Kiana began chattering away at Bai Chen with question after question.

That also reminded Bai Chen that he had been ejected too suddenly yesterday and had forgotten to retrieve the artifact.

So he reached out and removed the artifact Kiana had worn on her head all night.

"Little Bai, why didn't you tell me what it was? Why was it invisible?"

Feeling the thing on her head disappear, Kiana continued asking. Since she had been unable to remove it, she had spent an entire breakfast trying to figure out what it was, and it seemed strangely familiar.

"Maybe it's the Emperor's New Clothes. Some things are better left unknown."

"..."

Inside Bai Chen's body, Ji Lin blushed as she watched everything happening outside. As someone who had witnessed the entire ordeal, she naturally knew what it was.

That was far too stimulating. She had never imagined that people in the future would play so wildly after several thousand years!

Kallen and Fu Hua both wore expressions as though their own child had utterly disgraced the family. Awkwardly, they looked elsewhere and tried their best to avoid bringing up the subject.

Congratulations, item [Invisibility Underwear] has activated an enhancement quest. Upon completing the quest, the item's effect can be enhanced. Accept the quest?

As Bai Chen retrieved the item, his scammy system popped up a notification.

The system was issuing a mission for the first time!

After nearly two months, the system was finally releasing its first mission!

Bai Chen had originally thought this useless system could only display panels and draw those pitifully low-drop-rate rewards.

This mission could actually strengthen divine artifacts! Using divine artifacts was great enough, but strengthening them? Who knew how amazing that would feel!

So Bai Chen accepted the mission without a second thought!

Mission Objective, Phase One: Admire other people's recently worn underwear up close on-site 0/20

Please complete within five days. Otherwise, all of the host's underwear will become transparent in the future.

Bai Chen stared solemnly at the mission objective and its punishment.

Well, this was a little unexpected.

Unexpected my ass! Why do I have to look at other people's underwear?! And I have to see it up close! Isn't that perverted?!

Wouldn't a normal system give killing missions? Errands would be fine too! Why did it have to be underwear?!

And why did the punishment only show up after I accepted the mission?! You did that on purpose, didn't you?!

Bai Chen was so furious his face turned purple. He wanted nothing more than to drag the system out and tear it apart alive!

Old Yang had just entered the classroom and was about to begin his history lesson when he noticed the visible rage on Bai Chen's face.

Old Yang could not help but wonder whether he had accidentally offended Bai Chen. His face was practically the color of pig liver from anger. Could it be... that the news about next issue's hiatus had been discovered?

"Teacher, my stomach hurts."

After forcing himself to report it to the teacher through his anger, Bai Chen left the classroom.

Mei watched Bai Chen's departing figure with some concern. His complexion had looked terrible just now. Could it have been an aftereffect of yesterday's mission?

Bai Chen went alone to the infirmary, lay down on a hospital bed, and stared at the glaring mission objective as he fell into deep thought.
