"What's wrong with Honkai Beasts? My Bella is as obedient as can be. She's nothing like those other Honkai Beasts that refuse to obey, don't fear death, and cause trouble everywhere."
Feng Chen's mistake was mentioning Bella's name.
After all, Theresa had taken part in the Second Honkai War in 2000...
"Bella? The Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Benarès?! You... you're a Herrscher?!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Playing dumb won't work!"
After learning that Feng Chen was a Herrscher, Theresa refrained from attacking him for two reasons. First, she had no weapon. Second, she knew that not all Herrschers necessarily stood on the side of [Honkai]. Take that person, for example.

Judas unfolded, and golden chains shot out.
"Tsk! What a troublesome thing..."
Judas's ability was extremely effective against Herrschers. A Herrscher without Honkai Energy was no different from an ordinary person.
The Simulated Herrscher took several steps back. Clearly, she didn't know that [Judas' Covenant] wasn't merely an ordinary weapon. It was a weapon with a will of its own.

"Looks like we won?"
Dragon-like creatures only existed in various fantasies, but [Honkai] could create them. Other than human technology, which lacked independent thought, the only beings capable of creating creatures like this
