Chapter Fifty-Two: Now it's time to enumerate the crimes.

What does it feel like to become Herrscher?

If Seele were to answer this question, the answer would be—she doesn't feel anything.

She had expected a powerful force to surge into her body, causing a dramatic transformation amidst the pain, or perhaps a complex and mysterious ritual would unfold around her, granting her new powers and dazzling equipment. But none of this happened.

The ceremony for becoming Herrscher was simply that the seemingly kind and amiable Mr. Ai Yue patted his head twice.

Seele could even fully feel the warmth from that hand, it was pulled back, and then the other person nodded. "Okay, it's done."

"What's finished?"

Black Seele, who had also been patted on the head by Ai Yue, blinked, still somewhat bewildered. "You mean, this means we've become Herrscher?"

"It was actually completed a long time ago, right when you two were separated."

Ai Yue shrugged. "This is just adding a ritual."

"But this can hardly be considered a ceremony!"

Black Seele's eyes widened immediately. "The ritual to become Herrscher is just a pat on the head?"

"Our My Lord is indeed lacking in this respect,"

Suo nodded in agreement, "However, when I receive a blessing, there is still a sense of ritual. Compared to that, it is indeed too bland now."

"That's because my control over my power has increased again."

Ai Yue was somewhat helpless about this. Because of the special nature of the other party, he needed to use the power of the Cocoon of Finality to reshape their body when he transformed them. But he was much stronger now than before, and the two Seele were relatively weak, so transforming them was actually very simple.

Not to mention, the body that Black Seele is currently using was created for her by Ai Yue using his powers, and the enhancement at the soul level was also completed silently during the separation of their minds, so things are indeed much more uneventful.

If it weren't for checking their current situation and seeing if any further optimizations were needed, Ai Yue could have even skipped the head-patting gesture.

However, considering the feelings of the two girls and the responsibilities they would have to shoulder, Ai Yue decided to grant their small wish. "If you want a sense of ceremony, how about we wait until tomorrow? I'll find an expert to design a plan for you."

That guy Cosmo should know a lot about this stuff, right?

"No, no need to bother, we're not even concerned about that."

Seeing that Ai Yue was really considering the issue of ritual, Seele quickly shook her head to interrupt his thoughts, "It's just... how should I put it, because it's a bit bland, it does give people a feeling of unreality."

"But the power is definitely real."

Black Seele, who had already begun to explore the hidden power within her, exclaimed in amazement, "This power is unimaginably strong... Can we really control it?"

As a personality born from the Stigmata, Black Seele was clearly more skilled in combat than Seele, and thus she quickly became familiar with this new power. She closed her eyes, and soon a white light emerged from her chest. The light flowed over her body as if it were a tangible substance, and finally transformed into a gorgeous dress that covered the girl's body.

Although the outfit is light and airy, giving the impression of being flashy but impractical, no one would doubt its power as long as they could feel the surging energy fluctuations within it.

At the very least, based on Black Seele's own experience, she hasn't yet figured out which of her past enemies could break through the defenses of this outfit.

It's important to know that because the original timeline was interfered with by special causality, Seele didn't just stay in the World Bubble near Earth as in the original story. Instead, under the guidance of others, she embarked on a series of thrilling adventures. Otherwise, she wouldn't have recognized So's face.

In this process, they fought against terrifying creatures capable of devouring small World Bubble, faced terrifying waves that could shatter countless World Bubble, and even accomplished the feat of fusing several World Bubble amidst the siege of quantum creatures. If Black Seele had been able to master such powerful strength back then, then all the storms of the past would have become insignificant.

Moreover, this power is not limited to defense—

With a thought, Black Seele raised her hands, and light flowed and expanded at her fingertips, eventually transforming into a pair of sharp, ferocious giant claws. Chains extended from the ends of the claws, wrapping around the girl's hands twice before connecting to her belt.

She still likes unconventional things so much, no wonder you can't improve your strength.

Ai Yue looked at the familiar armor, which was essentially a recolored version, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Black Seele didn't notice Ai Yue's subtle attitude because she was worrying about the weapon in front of her—compared to the unassailable white, black was definitely more suitable for her. So, could this thing change color?

The next second, she saw the weapon she had created gradually coated with a layer of black that shimmered with a metallic sheen.

That's perfect now.

"You've mastered the trick so quickly? You're truly amazing, Seele."

Seele looked at Black Seele with a hint of envy, then asked somewhat shyly, "Um, could you teach me?"

"Of course, no problem."

Black Seele responded with feigned composure, completely unaware that the two enormous claws, which could be controlled at will, were swinging excitedly. "However, how can I describe it in words..."

"If you don't know what to say, then don't speak."

Seeing Black Seele trying to organize her thoughts, Ai Yue said from the side, "There must be an easier way for you, right?"

What's the meaning?

Black Seele stared blankly at Ai Yue, still somewhat confused about his meaning, but Seele had already shown a thoughtful expression. After a moment, she took the initiative to reach out and hug Black Seele, and leaned her face closer to him amidst his shocked and slightly blushing expression.

Immediately afterwards, their foreheads touched.

"Wow,"

Seeing this scene, Suo also showed a curious expression, "Is this communication through telepathy?"

"Yes, as twins, these basic abilities are naturally essential."

Ai Yue's expression was somewhat subtle. "Actually, there was absolutely no need to get this close... but it doesn't matter anyway."

"But it can't be more than that, can it?"

Although Suo wasn't particularly familiar with Ai Yue's style, even analyzing it from her perspective alone, she couldn't believe that Ai Yue hadn't added any new features. "Does this ability have any other uses?"

"Of course there is. As the saying goes, what is united for a long time will eventually divide, and what is divided for a long time will eventually unite."

Ai Yue sensed the state of the two people and then smiled, "In our circle, the idea of two people being one is actually a good thing."

Before Suo could ask, "What kind of circle are you in?", she saw a strong light suddenly burst forth from the two Seele, and within this light, the two people who were originally separated merged together once again.

When the light dimmed again, Seele in front of him turned back into a person. However, So keenly noticed that the other person's posture was somewhat unnatural, and seemed to be different from the original state.

And that is indeed the case. Judging from the black and white clothes on the girl's body, and the fact that her two pupils show red and blue respectively, at this moment, the characteristics of two Seele are being revealed at the same time.

This is completely different from the previous situation where the other party could only exhibit the characteristics of one person at a time.

"This, this is..."

Seele raised one hand, then looked down at her body. "We've turned back to normal?"

"No, it seems there's more to it than that,"

Seele raised her other hand as well. "It seems like we're... jointly controlling this body?"

"That's true,"

The other Seele quickly realized she could only control half of her body, and said in a somewhat ambiguous tone, "But what's the point of this ability? It feels so awkward to move around like this."

"In this state, you can exert twice the power, which can be considered a trick to temporarily break through the limit."

Ai Yue explained from the side, "Moreover, if you are of one mind, things will actually go very smoothly—of course, there are other solutions as well."

As Ai Yue spoke, he reached out and touched Seele's forehead. The next second, the white on the girl's clothes spread out instantly, quickly taking over most of the area, while the "excluded" black gathered along the girl's arm towards her hand, transforming into a huge scythe.

"This is..."

Seele instinctively gripped the scythe in her hand, looking around somewhat bewilderedly. "Seele, where are you?"

At this moment, she regained control of her body, but this time she did not see the other Seele.

"I'm here, in your hands,"

Just as Seele was starting to panic, the scythe in her hand suddenly trembled and emitted another Seele's voice, "Has it turned into a weapon this time? It feels even stranger..."

The next second, the scythe broke free from Seele's hand and floated in the air, swinging on its own. Its movements were sharp and somewhat eerie, clearly capable of performing many actions that humans could not normally do without external force.

"That's good, it's fine this way too."

After getting familiar with the current situation, the scythe that Black Seele had transformed into flew back into Seele's hand. "This way, I can protect Seele."

"If that's the case, then I can definitely do it too!"

Seele seemed to be provoked by those words. She clutched the scythe to her chest, then closed her eyes, her brows furrowed, as if she were deeply contemplating, "I want to too—"

Soon, the colors on the girl's body changed again. Black gradually covered her dress, while white transformed into a magnificent scepter, radiating a warm light in her hand.

"There was clearly no need to do that."

Black Seele made a disgusted sound, but his hands obediently gripped the scepter tightly, as if afraid it would slip from his grasp. "I'm really impressed with you."

A gentle voice emanated from the scepter. "Hehe, this way I can protect Seele too."

"Idiot, who needs your protection?"

Black Seele subconsciously turned her face away, trying to hide the blush on her cheeks. "I'm much better than you, okay?"

"In short, there are still many secrets within this power waiting for you to discover."

Ai Yue interjected at the opportune moment into their conversation, "Give you two some time to get to know each other. Suo, you're in charge of teaching them."

Suo, who was watching the amusement from the sidelines, paused for a moment, then pointed to himself. "Me?"

"Wait, no need."

Black Seele's reaction was much stronger. She released her grip on the scepter, allowing Seele to revert to her human form. "The important thing is the business at hand. Let's get going."

"Yes, everyone is still waiting for us."

Seele nodded. "Mr. Ai Yue, let's get started quickly."

Since the parties involved were making such a strong request, Ai Yue naturally had no reason to refuse. After leaving Suo in the Abyssal Eye, he took the two Seele into the space where the Cocoon of Finality was located.

Before he could even see his surroundings clearly, he felt a scorching heat descending upon him.

The blazing flames fell like rain, almost engulfing the entire space. If you looked closely, you could also feel the unstable fluctuations hidden in each flame. Such energy reactions would cause the flames to explode a second time when they came into contact with the target, thus causing damage over a wider area.

Ai Yue, along with two Seele, found himself caught in this massive offensive.

Of course, although the scene looked shocking, it did not actually harm Ai Yue in the slightest. The rain of fire disappeared silently before it could even fall on his head.

He only glanced up at it briefly before fixing his gaze on Elysia beside him.

"What's going on?"

Ai Yue asked somewhat helplessly, "Isn't it over yet? Kiana shouldn't be this stupid, right?"

In his mind, it should have been over by now.

"It ended a long time ago, now it's... uh, extracurricular tutoring time?"

Elysia glanced at Ai Yue, then her gaze was drawn to the twin girls behind him. "Wow, what adorable girls, and twins at that!? Ai Yue, you really know how to surprise people!"

"That's enough, watch your face."

Ai Yue reached out and stopped the guy who couldn't move when he saw a pretty girl, and said helplessly, "They're unfamiliar with this place, don't scare the children."

"Oh?"

Elysia was quite perceptive in this situation and quickly realized something. "So, their situation is similar to Kiana's?"

Ai Yue had just nodded when Seele, who had been hiding behind him, mustered up her courage and stepped forward. "Hello, our name is Seele."

"Hello everyone, my Elysia, you can just call me Elysia!"

Elysia immediately ignored Ai Yue and greeted the two girls warmly, "You just said 'you guys,' so this cool-looking girl is also called Seele?"

"Yes, Seele is a little shy, so..."

"Who, who's shy!"

"Oh my, how cute!"

Ai Yue shook his head, no longer paying attention to Elysia's situation, and turned his gaze to the raging battlefield.

This is also a good opportunity to see how Kiana is doing right now.

Chapter 53 What kind of timeline is this? It's really causing a lot of trouble.

The battle in the sky continued, and it was clear that neither Kiana nor Mobius had noticed Ai Yue's arrival.

Or perhaps they did realize it, but no one could extricate themselves from this fierce confrontation—after all, even Ai Yue, who was observing from the sidelines, could see how violent the battle between powers was, and one could imagine the storm that the two people involved had to face.

In such a battle, even a momentary lapse in concentration would likely result in immediate defeat.

Ai Yue guessed this way—after all, he knew nothing about combat and couldn't understand who was superior or inferior in this level of confrontation. If he were to comment on the situation on the field, Ai Yue could probably only say, "It's quite interesting."

Fortunately, he doesn't need to focus on winning or losing, because what's more important now is Kiana's current condition.

After reconnecting to the Cocoon of Finality, Kiana was finally able to display the style of the Herrscher of the End. Pale purple light shone on her body and, along with the girl's attacks, continuously transformed into various kinds of power and unleashed them, attacking Mobius.
