Sushang's Wet Bedsheets

Similarly, Kiana could feel the emotions emanating from the core within her body.

Therefore, Kiana was not surprised at all that the Herrscher of the Void would make such a request.

Of course, Kiana was still a little annoyed that this guy had to make a sarcastic remark about her even on his deathbed.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was about to die, Kiana would definitely have finished him off with a sword.

Are there any others?

Kiana straightened up, her complex emotions calming down considerably, and met his molten gold eyes.

"Oh...

You don't actually think you won, do you?

You'll just cling to this victory bestowed upon you by others and drown in your fantasies!

In the final mockery... or rather, warning, the Herrscher of the Void vanished completely, utterly alone, disappearing into this spiritual world without leaving a trace.

Kiana could also sense that the Herrscher Core, which had fallen into her control after the recent battle, was becoming increasingly easier to use.

"Call..."

With a sigh, Kiana dispelled the Exotic Greatsword in her hand, disassembling it back into her Dual Pistols. She glanced one last time at the scorched, barren earth, then turned and left. A single, inconspicuous ice crystal slowly slid down and merged into the earth...

"You're back?"

Upon seeing Kiana enter and sensing the complex state of emptiness and fulfillment emanating from her, Gwen put down his teapot and greeted her with a smile.

"Yes, thanks to you..."

Kiana initially wanted to collapse onto a chair, but after glancing at Gwen's embrace, she hesitated for a moment and then sat down, inwardly comforting herself—

"Just consider it as him giving me a massage..."

Kiana's previously pale face flushed red as she sat in the massage chair, feeling the warmth emanating from beneath her.

"But in the end, you are the one who wins."

Gwen raised his hand and gently pinched Kiana's cheek—

"Don't completely ignore your own contributions. If you don't work hard yourself, you won't be able to defeat her even with the little help I provided."

"So, it all came down to you..."

Kiana sighed, leaning against Gwen and adjusting her position to find the most comfortable sitting posture. She then closed her eyes.

"What's this called again?"

Oh, to use Hui Huo's words, it's like having a constant support but a constantly changing carry.

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this, Gwen continued to remind him,

"But if this C doesn't stand up, it will be swept away by the water and killed."

"Okay, I understand, I won't slack off..."

Kiana didn't even open her eyes, and said lazily.

Although all she actually did today was fight the Herrscher of the Void.

But beyond the surface-level battle, Kiana has undergone some deeper changes that she needs to adapt to.

"Oh...

Go to sleep, it will all be over when you wake up.

Gwen put his arm around Kiana's slender waist and gently comforted her.

"Don't even think about doing anything bad..."

Kiana wiggled her little bottom, found the most comfortable position, mumbled something, and drifted off to sleep.

In her own mental world, in the safest embrace in the world, Kiana fell asleep almost naturally.

"I need to check your body now that you're asleep..."

With a playful quip, Gwen scratched Kiana's slender waist before getting down to business—

Has Kiana simply defeated the Herrscher's consciousness and regained full control, or has she also simultaneously achieved the so-called ascension?

These all need to be verified by Gwen himself.

Chapter 822 Su Shang's Wet Bed Sheets

"Comparing the power output before and after, Kiana is indeed much stronger now than before, but a large part of this is because she has now obtained the full power of the Herrscher of the Void Core."

Whether or not the transformation you envisioned, achieving the so-called perfect Human Herrscher, has actually taken place, is still uncertain.

In the Demonstration Classroom, Velvie put down her Laser Pointer and gave her conclusion.

"It can only be said that she is now a Qualified Herrscher-class combat power."

However, whether the metamorphosis you envisioned actually exists remains to be seen.

"Moreover, the troublesome point is that, apart from Kiana, most of the other Herrscher on our side obtained their powers by directly defeating the Herrscher consciousnesses cast by the Honkai.

Therefore, even if the so-called ascension to immortality does exist, we do not have the conditions to replicate it.

Dr. Einstein was attending the meeting remotely, said helplessly.

"The only one who still meets this condition is Mei. The Stigmata Consciousness on her body can also be regarded as Herrscher consciousness."

The problem is that while Mei's Stigmata Consciousness occasionally disagrees with him, it primarily functions as her guardian, lacking the capacity to cause a qualitative change in one after eliminating the other.

"If you ask me, let's not put our energy into this—"

Even if there really is such a thing as ascension, allowing humans to truly bear the Honkai almost unconditionally with their own will, can it withstand the possible erosion of consciousness by the True Cocoon of the End?

Instead of wasting time gambling in this unknown territory, it would be better to continue studying the Energy Model you brought back.

Although it may be more difficult, as long as there are results, it's a real improvement!

Dr. Tesla, who was participating in the meeting remotely alongside Dr. Einstein, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, emphasizing his opinion.

If it weren't for Gwen, that oddball, this path would be their only option.

After all, there is currently no known entity on Earth, or even within the Solar System, capable of destroying the Cocoon of the End. They can only hope that through so-called metamorphosis, humanity can survive the Honkai.

But now, the previously unsolvable situation has been broken, and the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves has changed dramatically. So naturally we should continue to escalate our efforts in order to achieve a real victory.

After Dr. Tesla finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the room, and everyone's gaze turned unanimously to Gwen—

The so-called ascension being discussed at the meeting is an idea that Gwen proposed a few days ago.

If we really have to reject it, we also need to consider Gwen's attitude.

After all, although he also proposed the other plan, it placed almost all the pressure on him alone.

But before Gwen could speak, a somewhat playful voice broke the awkward silence—

"Agree--

While the ascension of Herrscher seems promising, it's currently uncertain whether it even exists, or how it can be replicated.

We can't possibly torture our good kids and deliberately cultivate an Anti-human Herrscher personality just for this plan, can we?

Changguang spoke, seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he shrugged with a grin.

"In that case, let's continue our previous research. Just remember to call me if you need my help."

Seeing that even Changguang had come out to act as a mouth double for everyone, Gwen decisively abandoned the idea.

According to Ai Yi's previous statement, after the Cocoon of the End was defeated, part of the spoils went to Xena, who was still lying dead on the Ring of Stars, and part was absorbed by Ai herself. The original Endworm may not be able to appear.

However, the Herrscher of Finality is still a formidable fighting force, Gwen couldn't remain completely indifferent, which led to this research on the Herrscher after her ascension.

However, given the current situation, it seems that this can only be considered a hypothesis for now.

Unless he himself suddenly dies for some inexplicable reason, leaving only his soul to drift to the neighboring Amphoreus to become the Lord of Cinder, and everything he did in the Honkai world becomes invalid and everything returns to its original state, no one will see this path as a lifeline; they will only think about how to escalate the situation and defeat the Honkai.

"As compensation for making us work overtime, how about you brew us a pot of tea yourself?"

Velvie twirled her top hat in her fingers and asked with a smile.

"Of course, thank you all for your hard work."

Gwen immediately rose and served tea to everyone, finally glancing at the two figures projected on the screen—

"Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla, would you like me to send this over?"

"No need. Neither Dr. Einstein nor Dr. Tesla particularly enjoyed drinking tea."

Dr. Einstein, who liked to refer to himself by his name, shook his head and refused.

"You should use this time to get some rest."

Dr. Tesla offered this reminder.

She knew all too well how much mental pressure Welt Yang had been under back then, Gwen was now facing a problem far greater than the one caused by Anti-Entropy.

"Don't worry about that, he has plenty of ways to release his stress..."

Mobius wore a mocking smile, his gaze towards Gwen full of ridicule.

"You two talk first, I won't keep you from your conversation."

Gwen certainly didn't care about Mobius's gaze, but in order not to disturb the conversation between these super brains, he still consciously withdrew.

He's fine as Humanoid Supercomputer, but his mindset makes him unsuitable for this discussion.

Like Zhao Yun from the neighboring Shenzhou III, although he infiltrated the Civilian Officials Group, he would be looked down upon during discussions.

What was the result?

Upon seeing Gwen emerge, Li Sushang, who was idly admiring the island's scenery, immediately turned around and asked curiously.

"No, that won't work."

Gwen shrugs.

"There are too many uncertainties, and it's too risky. Success depends entirely on the reaction of the Cocoon of the End."

"Then let's not waste too much energy on this. We have other options besides this one."

Upon hearing this, Li Sushang did not show any disappointment, and said with a smile—

"Perhaps once we reach a higher level and become stronger, the Honkai Adaptability on our stat panel will achieve a similar effect?"

"Oh...

Yes, I was the one who was fixated on this image.

Let's go, nothing to do today, let's practice swordsmanship and boxing—

"Su Shang, do you still have enough energy?"

Seeing the pure smile on Li Sushang's beautiful face, Gwen also smiled—

Just like how the Saint Seiya next door develop abilities related to celestial phenomena or Cosmo after leveling up, the characters here also mostly develop optional abilities related to Honkai.

However, the final effect will ultimately vary from person to person...

"Of course, Li Sushang, the First Disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect requests your guidance—"

Although she was often carried back home after training sessions, Li Sushang remained fearless, standing tall and speaking with a serious expression.

Time slips silently through our fingers, and in the blink of an eye, the sun is setting, and the sounds of the rising and falling tides never cease.

On the smooth, wave-washed rocks, Li Sushang was too exhausted to move a single finger, watching the sky turn fiery red with the sound of the tide.

Even though the girl had practiced martial arts since childhood, and the Tai Xu Sword Qi itself had the effect of modifying the body to be more suitable for Honkai Energy, and Li Sushang, who had cultivated the Spirit Resonance, was one of the best among them, she still seemed too weak in front of Gwen. Under Gwen's all-round exploitation, she was completely drained of her last bit of physical strength.

"Su Shang, did you ever see such a view back then?"

Half-reclining on the huge reef, Gwen looked at the distant view where the sea and sky met and suddenly asked a question.

"The setting sun often accompanied my master as she sat under the tree. At that time, I always liked to sit close to her because mosquitoes couldn't get near her."

As for the scenery now, I've never been there before—

After all, my home is in Shu Region, and my master doesn't live by the sea, so he can't see the sea.

Upon hearing this question, Li Sushang answered casually. Looking at the fiery red sky, she seemed to recall events from five hundred years ago, and couldn't help but say a few more words.

"But given Master's personality, he probably wouldn't care about these things."
