Seele Scores a Direct-Kill on the Herrscher of Thousands; A Worrying Future

Unexpectedly, the doll burst into laughter again.

"Hehe, give up, give up. She doesn't need you anymore. She's always wanted to get rid of you, haven't you noticed? You actually know it very well, you just don't want to admit it."

"So annoying!!!"

Enraged, Dark Seele couldn't help but launch an attack, but the doll easily dodged it.

"You're a monster! A monster! A monster with black claws! You're one of us, hee hee hee hee hee!"

The puppet kept laughing.

"Don't act like you know me so well! Who I am is none of your business!"

Dark Seele wouldn't admit it, but a rift had already formed in her heart. Because of this, anger drove countless scarlet energies to burst forth from her body.

The angrier she got, the louder the doll laughed.

More and more dolls appeared, controlled by threads, their fingers pointing at Dark Seele.

"Hahahaha! You guessed it! You guessed it! Hahahahahaha!!!"

The camera suddenly shifts, Seele seems to be able to personally feel the emotions of another version of herself, but no matter how she calls out, she receives no response.

"Hehe, you should worry more about yourself."

The doll seemed to stand on a high vantage point, criticizing others from that vantage point.

"A hypocritical soul like yours doesn't deserve to be entertained in the Theater of Domination!"

After saying that, the puppet summoned three Honkai Beasts sculptures controlled by silk threads. Seele dared not be negligent and took out her dark blue scythe to fight, while enduring the puppet's foul mouth.

"What a wondrous power! Is this your trump card? You're really going all out! It's just a pity you won't be able to use that power for much longer, hehehehe!"

Just as Seele was about to be exhausted, the Honkai Beasts was finally defeated, but she seemed to have lost the ability to fight.

"What did you do to my other self?"

"Another you? She's not you, she's our friend! Soon, she'll be one of us, hee hee hee!"

"I will not hand her over to you! I will protect her... I will definitely protect her."

"Oh dear, how hypocritical! I hate hypocrites like you the most. Aren't you tired of saying such insincere things all day long?"

The head of the Qianlu doll rotates 360 degrees.

"Hehehe, she's the real soul. She exudes the same aura as us, and she hates this boring world just like us, yearning for chaos and destruction."

"Don't talk like you know her so well!"

Seele was furious.

Just as the doll was about to kill Seele gradually lost her strength against the Honkai Beasts's attacks, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier. The scene abruptly shifts to several cries from Dark Seele, only to return to a flashback.

A revolving lantern?

The audience felt a jolt of surprise.

This scene gradually gave me a bad feeling. Why would I suddenly recall a warm scene in the middle of a fierce battle?

What else could this be but a revolving lantern?

A heartwarming memory: One late night, Seele was incredibly sleepy. Dark Seele wanted her to chat with her, but Seele had already fallen asleep without realizing it.

So Dark Seele used Seele's body to play a series of pranks, which she thought was to vent Seele's anger. It wasn't until Cocolia came looking for Seele in the morning that Seele realized what had happened.

To Dark Seele's surprise, Seele actually admitted to Cocolia that she was the one who did it. While being punished by standing in the corridor, Seele sincerely expressed her thoughts to Dark Seele.

You are another version of me.

The choice you made is exactly the same choice I made, isn't it?

Her direct approach left Dark Seele speechless, but her proud personality wouldn't allow her to back down, so she angrily berated Seele for being a pushover and telling her to stay a pushover forever.

The flashback ended there. When Seele opened her eyes again, she was already outside the workshop.

Seeing that Seele was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but a second later, recalling the doll's actions and extremely foul mouth, their blood pressure soared.

It can be said that in just a few minutes of the story, the puppet has surpassed Otto and become the number one figure in the hearts of viewers and fans.

"These dolls are really annoying!"

Elysia was so angry that Fu Hua's heart trembled with envy and jealousy.

Almost instantly, tens of millions of comments angrily cursing the Herrscher of the Thousand appeared on the screen, nearly obscuring the view. Whenever they thought about the audience's anger upon seeing this scene, Yaqing and Cheng Lixue felt a strange excitement.

Herrscher of the Thousand isn't scary, but he's disgusting.

Especially the audience.

I wish I could personally pry open that doll's mouth, tear apart her limbs, and kick her head like a ball.

But they couldn't do that, so they could only hope that the plot would develop and that Kiana and the others would quickly kill off these puppets and vent their anger.

Villains are detestable.

It is extremely rare for a being like the Herrscher of Domination to be hated by all viewers as soon as it appears.

"If we're playing mind games, I don't know if the other Seele took it seriously. But it doesn't seem to matter. As long as it leaves a trace, it's a success."

Vill-V analyzed, "She seems to value Dark Seele a lot? But why is that? Also, each doll seems to have Herrscher Core inside, does that mean that if we don't eliminate all of these characters, even if only one remains, we still can't eliminate this Herrscher?"

Vill-V's analysis is extremely reasonable.

But apart from the screenwriter, it seems no one can answer her question.

Right now, Elysia and the other viewers in the live stream are all angrily criticizing the Herrscher of Domination.

"I've never hated a virtual character so much before. This Herrscher is the first, especially that laugh. It's creepy to listen to."

Pardo shivered and clutched the Canned Food of food tightly in her arms.

"I'm so annoyed. If this week's plot doesn't eliminate this foul-mouthed Herrscher, I'll be miserable if I have to wait another week."

Sakura inexplicably felt a ticklish sensation all over her body.

All she wants to see right now is the exploding doll; if the story ends here, she'd be ready to kill the screenwriter.

It's likely that another scene of someone coming to their door with a knife will unfold, but this time it's not about changing the plot, but about watching the plot unfold.

Back in reality, Seele told Bronya everything that had just happened and called out to her other self again. Although she didn't get a reply, she could feel the presence of Dark Seele.

After careful investigation, they found a line of writing under the desk.

Will, thought, soul—all will be returned to the great Lord of the Otherworld Beasts.

Bronya and Seele found another ancient manuscript, but neither of them could read the words on it, so they decided to take it back to investigate.

Suddenly drawn by the roar outside the door, Seele, after dealing with the appearing Honkai Beasts, was attracted by the broken doll on the ground, which was the one she had just encountered, still bearing the marks left by her scythe.

The two searched the neighborhood and found another performance ticket.

386

Chapter 386 Seele's direct shot kills a thousand men, a worrying future.

A few days later, Kiana and Seele, guided by Einstein, successfully dealt with the rioting mechs and rescued the imprisoned civilians. Unfortunately, they did not see the so-called Theater of Domination during this mission.

What Kiana and Seele couldn't understand was why the dolls were targeting ordinary people. They impersonated them, scammed everyone they knew, and ruined their own relationships. But what was the point of doing that?

Seele reiterated Einstein's conjecture: the enemy's aim might be to create panic.

Hearing Seele repeat what he had said, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Manipulating people's hearts, what a despicable fellow..."

Elysia dislikes these kinds of people. In her view, emotions are the purest thing. She dislikes Otto, who claims to act in the name of love, and the Herrscher of the Thousand manipulates people's hearts.

"Kiana and her team are facing a real crisis this time."

"Vill-V sighed."

"Sister Vill-V, aren't these just a group of Herrscher hiding behind the scenes and doing dirty tricks? Why do you say that?"

Pardo was puzzled; she believed that the destruction caused by the Herrscher of the Thousand was far less than that Herrscher of the Void.

Whether it was the first time that destroyed the Siberian Snowfield, or the second time that caused varying degrees of Great Honkai around the world.

"Pardo, what do you think is the most important thing between people?"

Vill-V raised a question.

But this stumped Pardo.

"Is it trust?"

Sakura gave an answer with some uncertainty.

"That's right. The most important thing between people is trust, but this trust is now being eroded by the Herrscher. To give an analogy, if human civilization is a tall building, then the damage caused by the Herrscher is only on the exterior of the building, and the building will still stand tall..."

Vill-V produced a deck of cards from somewhere, stacked them up to form a paper tower, and then drew a card from the bottom of the tower, causing the once-stable tower to collapse instantly.

"Now, the Herrscher of Domination are eroding the foundation of the skyscraper. If people no longer trust each other, then social order will be like a bubble, and human civilization will collapse in an instant like this paper tower."

With one hand, Vill-V stroked the deck of cards on the table, and the scattered cards were returned to the deck box.

It was only then that Pardo realized the importance of the matter.

"How terrifying..."

"Will Kevin make a move?"

Sakura was somewhat uncertain.

"But for Kiana and the others, Kevin is always an outsider, or even an enemy. It's impossible to entrust everything to your enemy."

Vill-V shook her head.

After the two of them finished talking, Seele remembered to look at what was written on the crime warning letter.

"The rusty tin lamp is shining, the children are making noise in the dark, the audience below the stage is clapping and laughing, and the heterochromatic eyes are popping out."

Kiana shivered, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Next, the two decided to give the performance tickets to the forensic laboratory to analyze the soil residue on them in order to determine the location of their next crime.

Kiana and Seele didn't notice, but when Elysia and the viewers in the live stream heard about heterochromia, they immediately thought of Kiana. Even now, when Kiana uses the power of the Herrscher, her eyes turn one blue and one gold.

"Could it be that the doll's next target is... Kiana?!"

Elysia was half surprised and half angry.

Kiana's current experiences are heartbreaking enough. If the Herrscher of Domination were to focus its attention on Kiana, it's safe to say that she would be met with disgust from the audience.

"Damn it, this disgusting thing not only tries to drive a wedge between Seele and Dark Seele, but it's even eyeing Kiana?!"

"Those rats hiding in the dark corners, those damned scum, they deserve to be torn apart a thousand times, ten thousand times over! Tear their limbs apart, smash their chests open! What follows shouldn't be a fight, it should be a massacre! A hunt!!!"

["Anger, sadness, murderous intent—this series of negative emotions is exactly what the Herrscher wants to see. If this Herrscher truly existed in reality, upon seeing the previous comment, the smile on his lips would be even harder to suppress than Ak's."]

During work hours, Cheng Lixue, who was slacking off and watching a drama, clearly saw this comment amidst the sea of angry comments Herrscher of Domination of Domination. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.

When Seele and Kiana returned to Salt Lake Base after completing their mission, they encountered a staff member in the corridor. Seele handed the staff member the performance tickets, but the staff member did not leave. Instead, she looked at Kiana.

Kiana was already used to hearing the words "Herrscher of the Void," and even anticipated what was about to happen.

Seele quickly explained for Kiana.

To their surprise, the staff member slapped his palm excitedly, saying that he wanted to find Kiana to apologize in person, but had never had the chance, and explained that Kiana had saved his parents in Sky Dome City.

"Thank you for saving my parents, thank you so much!"

The staff member bowed deeply, which made Kiana a little embarrassed.

Kiana was stunned by the mention of a hero by the staff. Seele quickly told Kiana that many staff members had actually changed their opinions of her significantly behind her back.

"That's great! There are still many reasonable people in Anti-Entropy!"

Seeing that some staff members understood Kiana, Elysia felt a surge of joy that dispelled much of her anger.

"Kiana's efforts have paid off, we are truly happy for her."

Pardo and Elysia hugged each other happily.

At this moment, Vill-V spoke up at an inopportune time.

"Something's not right, it's nine out of ten wrong. Don't you guys think this staff member's entrance was too abrupt? Could she also be one of the puppets? How would an ordinary person know that Celestial Meteor is Kiana?"
