Anna, Herrscher of Human: Ego?

Without the slightest hesitation, Anna charged towards the oncoming Honkai Beast.

Although she couldn't handle the ice lotuses in the sky, dealing with mere Honkai Beast was no problem for her.

You can't beat Herrscher, but you can't Honkai Beast?

"Besides, this is at least my mental space. Even if I can't do whatever I want, it's still like fighting on my home turf..."

Thinking this way, Anna, like in some movies, imagined herself as having superhuman strength, incredible agility, and never getting tired...

Although Anna regretfully discovered that she didn't have the power of Infinity, she became increasingly adept at dealing with the Honkai Beast that kept appearing as the Ice Lotus fell.

A moment later, Anna was even more astonished to find that she was wearing Valkyrie armor.

Although she didn't understand the underlying principles, Anna's hope grew stronger, and she became increasingly adept at killing the Honkai Beast that roamed the land.

Even when faced with a massive boar crashing to the ground, Anna could still laugh and joke with Gwen—

"Gwen, should this Honkai Beast be considered Ganesha or Parvati?"

With that, Anna charged forward with her gun.

On a level unnoticed by Anna, invisible particles rose from the ethereal corpses of the Frost Honkai Beast she had defeated, merging into her body under the influence of an unseen force.

Anna, who had become increasingly confident in herself through continuous battles, successfully defeated the Honkai Beast, whose name was unclear—whether it was Ice Ganesha or Parvati—after fighting for over three hundred... several dozen rounds.

Gwen, have we won?

Drawing her lance, Anna, feeling refreshed and invigorated rather than fatigued, smiled at Gwen—

At this moment, the giant ice lotus that had previously blocked out the sky had disappeared, and no new Honkai Beast were falling. It seemed that victory had arrived.

"Almost there."

Looking at Anna, radiant and seemingly straight out of mythology, Gwen smiled and shook his head, his Corona Sword towards the sky—

"Anna, you still need to defeat the final enemy to achieve final victory, to defeat this... Herrscher of Ice."

As Gwen finished speaking, a blinding beam of white light shot out from the tip of the sword, instantly traversing a vast distance and striking the remaining "stamen" of the ice lotus in the sky.

Under Anna's slightly glazed gaze, countless cracks appeared on the "stamen" in the sky, which was not very conspicuous and could even be overlooked if not looked closely. It fell helplessly downwards, as if it had been completely destroyed by Gwen.

However, upon freefalling to the ground, the already cracked flower stamen shattered, revealing a human figure—a figure that shocked Anna to her core.

"How... is this possible?"

Looking at that familiar face she had seen for decades, Anna felt it was so unfamiliar for the first time.

"It's just a fake."

Quietly approaching Anna, and seeing the somewhat dazed girl, Gwen gently patted her shoulder—

"It wants to take over your body, so naturally it wants to look like you."

Now all her henchmen have been eliminated by us, leaving only this underdeveloped 'fetus'.

Now, go and defeat this guy who's trying to take everything from you and ruin your Anna.

"Um..."

Hearing Gwen's words, Anna's frozen figure stirred again. She gripped her lance tightly, turned to look at Gwen, and her pink eyes held a hint of expectation.

"Gwen, can I win?"

"We will win."

Faced with that expectant gaze, Gwen gave an affirmative answer without the slightest hesitation—

"When you defeat these Honkai Beasts, every 'level up' you gain is a way of taking away the power they bring you."

Now, it's time to take the final step, defeat this guy, and seize the murder weapon from his hand.

"Okay, wait for me to come back."

Anna's pretty face blossomed into a bright smile, and she raised her lance and charged towards the ice-blue version of herself.

Faced with Anna's aggressive approach, the nascent Herrscher did not hesitate at all. With a wave of her right hand, which seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, a storm of ice swept towards Anna, accompanied by a dense array of ice spikes.

Having dealt with Anna, Herrscher Anna didn't look at her again, but instead looked at Gwen, who was still standing on top of Frost Ganesha.

She knew perfectly well that it was this outsider man who had brought her to the ground.

However, before Herrscher Anna could unleash a frost-covered attack on Gwen, a figure shrouded in frost rushed out of the ice storm, thrusting his lance directly at Herrscher Anna.

"..."

Herrscher Anna remained silent, and with a wave of her hand, a thick ice wall separated them.

The next moment, before Anna could cross the ice wall, several more ice walls rose from all directions in the cold air, pressing in on her relentlessly.

As Anna tried to break free of the encirclement, a miniature iceberg fell from the sky, blocking all her escape routes.

Having dealt with Anna, her biggest but not the most threatening opponent, Herrscher Anna turned her attention back to Gwen.

However, what she saw was Gwen's smiling face and his raised finger—

"Three, two, one!"

Although he wasn't sure if Anna, the Herrscher, would understand what he meant, Gwen still held up his finger and started a countdown for her—

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the massive iceberg that had been gradually forming around Herrscher Anna shattered like the Five Finger Mountain that had suppressed Sun Wukong for five hundred years. A figure leaped from within, its enormous lance flashing brilliantly as it thrust down towards Herrscher Anna's head—

"I am the black that devours everything, I am the white that gives birth to everything; born before creation, existing after annihilation; the Divine Keys, Black Abyss White Flower, first rated power— the Holy Lance blooms!"

With Gwen's help, Anna seized a portion of the Herrscher's power to strengthen herself. Now, with the foundation to fight the Herrscher, Anna finally received the Black Abyss White Flower from Misterine and launched a final attack on the Herrscher.

The radiance of the Holy Lance illuminated the Herrscher's indifferent eyes and pale face, causing him to vanish into nothingness within the light.

"Call..."

Soon after, the brilliance of the Holy Lance faded, leaving only Anna there, panting and leaning on the Black Abyss White Flower.

"Congratulations, Anna, you defeated a Herrscher single-handedly."

Gwen had already reached the girl's side, extended a hand to her.

"It seems that following Cecilia, the Schariac family is about to produce another S-rank Valkyrie."

"Um..."

Seeing Gwen's smile, Anna's pretty face blossomed into a radiant smile. She grabbed Gwen's hand and nestled into his arms.

"Thank you Gwen..."

As Anna spoke, she let Gwen taste the girl's trembling lips once more.

This time, however, there was no fear, no coldness, only a budding yet passionate love...

Chapter 407 Anna Human Herrscher?

When Anna slowly opened her eyes, what she saw was not the desolate moon, but a curtain formed by slowly falling pink light spots, and pink fairies that seemed to be flying in mid-air like fairies from mythology.

Even though Anna had just experienced something even more impactful in her mental world, she was still captivated by the beautiful scenery before her.

"When I marry Gwen, I will definitely ask Miss Elysia to do the special effects for me."

The thought popped into Anna's mind almost instinctively.

Unaware of Anna's thoughts, Elysia saw Anna's indifferent coldness vanish and she opened her eyes. Her figure, which had been floating in mid-air, instantly drifted to Anna's side.

"Congratulations, Anna, you've defeated the Honkai invasion!"

"Um..."

Faced with Elysia's high praise, Anna's pretty face revealed a gentle smile—

"I also want to Elysia Miss Alicia and... Ms Misterine. Thanks to you and Gwen's help, I was able to defeat that guy."

Just now in the mental space, Anna was so excited that she almost gave herself away.

After her intense emotions subsided somewhat, Gwen, to prevent Anna from suffering a stroke due to facial flushing, explained to Anna the external factors that had enabled her to successfully defeat the Herrscher—

Although Gwen knew Anna to be a humble and good girl, he knew that power could inflate one's Gwen, so he chose to explain the situation to Anna.

Gwen, Elysia, and Eden, who had not yet appeared, worked together to allow Anna, who had a weak connection to the Herrscher Core within her body, to successfully absorb its power and gain the opportunity to confront the Herrscher head-on.

At the same time, the three of them worked together to stabilize the energy in Anna's body, allowing Misterine to successfully mature the Stigmata on Anna's body, causing Anna's power to surge. And when Anna reached her peak condition, she unleashed the final Holy Lance, Black Abyss White Flower, which allowed her to win the battle in one blow.

After learning the truth, Anna was a little disappointed, but she quickly strengthened her resolve.

"In order not to let down your efforts and trust, I will strive to master this power and transform this power, which was originally used to destroy human civilization, into a strong shield to protect humanity."

Facing the gazes of Elysia, Misterine Gwen already opened his eyes), and Eden who had just revealed himself), Anna made her vow with unwavering conviction.

"Yes, I believe Anna can do it!"

"You have already proven your strength and courage, so go for it, child."

"May your music resonate throughout this era, Miss Anna."

Seeing the determined look on Anna's pretty face, Elysia, Misterine, and Eden also offered their blessings.

However, Gwen, who had already given Anna a great blessing in the mental realm, did not join in the blessing, but instead looked thoughtful—

"In that case, Anna, although you are Herrscher, possessing the Herrscher Core and Herrscher Authority, you are different from a traditional Herrscher like the Second Herrscher who caused the Second Great Honkai..."

How about... calling it the Human Herrscher?

"Herrscher stands on the side of humanity and protects them?"

Upon hearing this, Anna paused for a moment, then readily agreed.

However, Anna didn't notice that Gwen and Eden looked at Elysia with a hint of a smile.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Gwen got down to business—

"Alright, we've already wasted quite a bit of time here, it's time to report to headquarters."

As he spoke, Gwen, having recalled Elysia and the other two, summoned Apollo and, while establishing contact with Destiny Headquarters, said to Anna—

"Speaking of which, Anna, now that you've become Herrscher, you should be able to fly by now, right?"

How about we have a race to see who can fly the fastest?

"Gwen, you're bullying me! He's only just become Herrscher, how can he compare to you like this..."

Upon hearing this, Anna did not immediately agree. Instead, she pouted and complained with a Xiao You.

"Ha ha..."

Seeing the adorable expression on Anna's face after she wasn't fooled, Gwen chuckled a few times, only stopping when communication with the ground was re-established.

"Headquarters, headquarters, this is Gwen. The plan is going smoothly. My department, Anna Schariac, has successfully defeated the Herrscher."

In the tense and oppressive command center of Destiny Headquarters, Gwen's voice echoed, causing many gloomy-faced staff officers to pause in surprise and subconsciously reveal joy.

However, despite receiving this good news, the atmosphere here remained heavy and oppressive.

At the head of the table, Otto, who had been extremely worried, breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing Gwen's message.

"Congratulations, Gwen, for accomplishing this unprecedented Great Achievement."

Hearing the voice on the other end of the communication, Gwen did not show any joy at Otto's congratulations—

He could hear the ambient sounds from the other side, but he didn't hear any cheers for the news. Instead, there was a strange heaviness.

It was as if, even though Gwen and his group had dealt with the Herrscher, something still weighed on everyone's minds.

The next moment, Otto's subsequent words answered Gwen's question—

"However, your and Anna's victory celebration may have to be postponed—"

Twenty minutes ago, Divine Land South China Sea region experienced a second Great Honkai, giving birth to another Herrscher.

Rita and the members of the Corona Light are now leading the Valkyrie who previously provided support in a fierce battle against them.

Please report your unit's combat effectiveness immediately. Headquarters needs the most accurate intelligence to plan the next operational move.

"..."

Upon hearing Otto's words, Gwen's heart skipped a beat, as if his jinx had come true.
