Herrscher of Domination and the Missionary

Christianne.

The name means "flowers of Christ".

Its former owner was a girl who was loved and cared for by her family, but now it has become a synonym for a terrifying monster.

The Herrscher of Domination, Sequence Number 10.

Originating from the edge of the incinerator in the lower ring of F17 in Haiyuan City, this monster obtained Christianne's memories from the corpse that should have been reduced to [Ashes]. Using this as its codename, it controlled the already decaying body and mingled in this high-tech main urban area, a rarity among humans.

Of course, at this stage, she, with her pure and refined appearance, is living with a beautiful nun named Flora. She seems harmless, like a little lamb that could be kidnapped by human traffickers at any time.

Christianne, munching on her ice cream with a small spoon and occasionally adjusting her sun hat, looked incredibly charming. Her eyes were glistening with tears, and the corners of her eyes turned up slightly with a smile, making onlookers feel a surge of affection.

But this did not include the missionary who was still stroking the other person's head. She knew very well the origin of this appearance and understood the taboo of that person seeing this scene.

Flora didn't even glance at the other person. She simply unwrapped the hamburger, and her slender hand visibly transformed into a bony blade in half a second, as if molten steel had been reshaped.

She slowly cut open the hamburger, handed half of it to her colleague across from her, and began to eat on her own. During this time, the gazes and actions of those around her remained unchanged, as if none of this was unusual and could be ignored.

If power could be materialized, it would be clear that every customer and employee at McDonald's's is connected by transparent, invisible, yet undeniably strong threads, making them resemble puppets on a stage controlled by fine threads, thus losing the true freedom of their physical bodies.

Meanwhile, a hazy, sound-wave-like glow rippled through the room with the sunlight, blocking the perception of will.

[Domination] and [Seduction]

The former originated from Christianne; from another perspective, those fine lines all originated from the holes in the joints all over her body.

The only difference between her appearance and the real Seele Fulei the numerous holes and slightly stiff joints visible on her body. However, with the help of [Bewitchment], Christianne appeared to outsiders to be no different from the girl whom Su Qing'an cherished.

"Human food is still pretty great, isn't it?"

She blinked as she spoke, bringing her fair and lovely face closer to the nun, revealing a charming yet innocent smile. Her lips parted slightly as she continued:

"Flora, Flora, can you sleep with me later?"

The captivating breath filled her nostrils, and the nun lowered her eyes, her pupils dark yet shimmering with a fiery light.

The missionary was well aware of what she meant by "sleep"—information that was not something a children's channel could receive, and which had tormented her will and nerves during her time on the run, causing her unspeakable suffering.

Christianne's arrival, however, strangely and perfectly solved this problem, even more so than Christiane herself.

The gods did indeed give Flora a partner who was perfectly compatible in every way.

This was something the missionaries hadn't anticipated, since the apostles she had encountered since her birth had generally lacked the interest and logical thinking to communicate with her. Furthermore, due to her powers, she was practically an enemy of the world from birth.

They died faster than the last.

Therefore, it was completely unexpected that an apostle like Christianne, who satisfied him in every sense, would become his partner.

What Flora was most satisfied with, besides her pure interests and personality, was the effect created by the overlapping of the powers of [Domination] and [Seduction].

These two powers are a perfect match.

This is probably the reason why the Honkai Consciousness made such an arrangement.

Although her heart was in turmoil, with twisted emotions and a craving for sweetness surging through her body, the nun maintained a serene smile with a touch of detachment on the surface, seemingly not very interested in it.

To lure someone in at the enemy's attention, one must feign indifference.

Since ancient times, deep affection has been fleeting, but clever tactics have won people's hearts.

After spending some time together, she had come to understand Christianne's personality quite well. If she wanted to take absolute control in their cooperation, she had to show a willingness to give up on what Christiane desired and provide appropriate guidance.

Christianne is Sequence Number 10. Her true nature surpasses that of the previous Herrscher of Rock who destroyed the Mu Continent. Her power is so domineering that she is a terrifying apostle who can control all things.

Compared to Flora, who hasn't even reached the lowest level of the weakest apostle, she is clearly not in the same league or in terms of status.

Therefore, missionaries must possess a unique advantage if they simply wish to maintain equality in their interactions with the two groups.

No matter how strange this advantage may be, it has its significance if you can grasp it and utilize it.

At the same time, assuming she doesn't adopt this attitude, even when sleeping, it's difficult for her to decide the process according to her own wishes and interests, which is of great significance to Flora.

So she took a sip of her cola and said softly, without any change in her tone:

"We'll talk after I've verified the specific progress of your plan."

Christianne pouted, took a bite of her ice cream, and said unhappily:

"But I could clearly feel that Flora was excited."

The missionary was not surprised; his body had long been covered with those invisible, colorless threads from his interactions with the other man, and his true physiological reactions could not be concealed from him.

Furthermore, during her time with Christianne, there was no opportunity to conceal her own flesh and blood, or even her offspring, in another area; if the other party wished, Flora would die instantly.

But to monsters like missionaries, this seemingly life-threatening constraint was no different from children's play.

She said:

"You should know that using human physical metrics to measure me is meaningless."

Christianne waved her hand and said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, my lovely Flora."

She blinked and said ingratiatingly:

"But your intended target has indeed fallen into that trap as planned. As long as you use the pieces you placed nearby to suppress the new toy's resistance in the next few days, everything will be fine."

The missionary said softly:

"Okay, that's good."

The nun wiped the sauce off her lips with a napkin, and her hands, which had become bony organs, instantly returned to flesh and blood.

She glanced at Christianne, who was nudging her like a puppy, and while touching her fair forehead with her fingertip to prevent ketchup from getting on her clothes and affecting her fries, she casually instructed her:

"Christianne, I feel it's necessary to tell you again, that's someone the gods have designated to kill."

"Although we ordered a family set meal, this isn't a family gathering, so please be a little more respectful."

"You must understand, the people we are targeting are those who possess the ability to observe souls, have extremely keen intuition, have indirectly or primarily participated in and won all five campaigns against the Apostles, have usurped half of the Herrscher of Death, and even possess power that even gods cannot comprehend."

"Furthermore, he is currently Judgment-class gene transplant. If successful, I have reason to believe that even if you take back all your offspring, you will suffer a crushing defeat in a direct confrontation with him."

Christianne pursed her lips. Theoretically speaking, with all her sub-bodies back, she was stronger than the Ninth Herrscher. How could she be so weak against an Apostle whose Sequence Number was lower than her and could only be defeated in a group fight?

The missionary said quietly:

"You should remember that monster from a while back, right?"

Upon hearing this, Christianne almost immediately recalled the terrifying aura that suddenly rose from the bottom of Haiyuan City to the point of being nerve-wracking. Combined with the battle memories of the previous nine Herrscher given by the Honkai Consciousness, she could almost feel the scorching aura of the Judgment of Shamash brushing against her face.

Compared to the impression Su Qing'an gave of his output limit and threat level, Kevin's lingering impression was clearly more profound.

The girl nodded in agreement:

"That person is very abnormal."

Flora whispered:

"He was the first Fusion Warrior to receive a gene transplant, Kevin Kaslana."

"Before receiving the gene transplant, his combat power was at most only enough to deal with Emperor-class Honkai Beast."

"And you've probably already seen the results after the gene transplant from your memory of Sequence Number 7 and 9."

"At the same time, the aura you sensed earlier wasn't an illusion either. That monster has become stronger again. Under the plan developed by that human named Mei, multiple Honkai Beast auras have appeared within him."

"This signifies that Mei has developed a novel technique for stably combining the genes of multiple Honkai Beast into a gene chain, and that this technique has already been successfully applied."

"Although Kevin's subsequent combat experience doesn't exist, and there's no concrete evidence, I feel he's become much, much stronger; at least that's what my instincts tell me."

Christianne vaguely understood the meaning behind the missionary's words.

Even before undergoing gene transplantation, Su Qing'an was already powerful enough to rival Herrscher; how much more she will surpass in the future is anyone's guess.

Moreover, Chi You's genetic starting point was Parvati's.

If the boy's matching combat power before obtaining the Perfect Stigmata and the Black Abyss White Flower was Sequence Number 5, and after obtaining them it was around Sequence Number 6 to 7, then it is not surprising that after the gene transplant, he jumped three levels to more than Sequence Number 10.

And Christianne noticed a very crucial detail.

That is, there has never been anyone or any evidence to prove that gene transplantation and the program that can give a person a stable multiple of genes cannot be carried out simultaneously or sequentially in a short period of time.

Assuming Su Qing'an completes both transformations in one go within the cavity at the bottom of Haiyuan City...

Logically speaking, he would undoubtedly be more terrifying than Kevin Kaslana.

Flora, eating fries, commented:

"Now you should understand that he is not on the same level as those dolls you casually created from corpses next to the incinerator or those toys from the outside world."

Christianne thought about it and decided that it was better to have fewer guys like that, otherwise how could she turn the whole world into her own puppet theater?

So she made a crude suggestion:

"Then let's just interrupt that human's transplant process and stop him from continuing his transformation. Anyway, he can't beat me right now."

Flora said calmly:

"The Fusion Warrior that Mei has created now are of varying strengths. She couldn't have done this if she hadn't developed the technology to stabilize genes. This means that even if you try to stop Su Qing'an now, you will only force Chiyou Gene to stabilize."

"Furthermore, with Black Abyss White Flower by his side, no matter how you try to stop him, it's pointless. He will only grow stronger, the only difference being the degree. Ultimately, you still can't kill him; you can only temporarily disrupt his transformation process."

"But with Mei around, no one knows if she has a way to continue fusing the stabilized gene chains."

"If she can do that, then we've just alerted her, and we'll never have another chance to target him again."

"By the time we can find Su Qing'an again, he will have finished his transformation, and we won't be able to do anything about him."

"In short, this approach will only buy us some time and won't change anything. It will also expose your presence in Haiyuan City, letting the whole world know the extent of your power. If we're unlucky, I might even find out that I'm still alive."

Christianne thought for a moment and found no rebuttal. She said indignantly:

"That human named Mei is so annoying."

Flora said indifferently:

"That's why plans have a purpose."

"My original plan was to take advantage of this opportunity to find a loophole, and then proceed gradually."

"But your arrival has changed my mind about the low probability of success. However, the chances of winning by simply relying on the powers of [bewitchment] and [domination] are not high. Now we need to add the power of consciousness that originally belonged to our side."

The nun gently stroked her delicate face and said with a smile:

"And this appearance and personality you possess will be one of the most useful weapons and props in this stage play."

"So Christianne, do you understand now?"

"Every step needs to be carefully considered before the preliminary work and preparations for this plan are fully completed, so as not to reveal any flaws."

"And if we complete our plan, Mei will die too."

Christianne sat obediently in the chair, her previous leg swings becoming almost imperceptible. She let the other woman's hands roam over her body and joints, gazing at her reflection in the nun's pupils, and softly smiled as she said:

"Don't worry, my Flora."

"You are already considered dead in the outside world. Because I split into many versions of myself, although I retained the level that Sequence Number should have, I am still unknown to this day because my birth was so quiet."

"This means that both powers are in a semi-unknown state, and our plan will not have any flaws."

Flora understood the meaning behind her words. As the Herrscher of Domination with the Sequence Number 10, the only way for her birth to go unnoticed and undetected by Honkai Energy detectors around the world was through this self-divided method.

The Herrscher of Domination that missionaries encountered was the subject and source of everything.

This is certainly not a romantic coincidence, but rather the inevitable result of the two meeting under the dominance of the Honkai Consciousness.

Christianne's dominance is a conceptual dominance.

The entire universe, and even all other powers themselves, are encompassed within this scope.

The origin of this news is that Flora initially wanted to turn the other person into her own exclusive tool to satisfy her physical desires, but her [seduction] attempt backfired, and she was [dominated] for a while before she found out.

For Flora, this was a vivid personal experience, one that remains fresh in her memory even now that she has regained control.

After all, what happened during that period was almost a classic example of trying to do something but ending up being the one who was hurt instead.

Anyone with a basic sense of shame would not be able to face Christianne with such a high-handed attitude, but Flora is clearly not one of them.

She doesn't have that kind of moral concept, so naturally she won't be bound by it.

The nun embraced the petite girl, her arms encircling her slender waist and the back of her legs. Dark, oily tears flowed from her cloudy eyes, meandering down her fair skin before changing direction in a sudden, open crevice.

At the same time, gelatinous flesh gushed from her arms, and after expanding, stretching, and closing, Flora successfully swallowed the girl into her abdominal cavity. Her lips, parted to her ears, revealed a chilling smile, as gentle as a nursery rhyme, as if whispering from the depths of her being:

"Very good, very good, my Christianne."

The monster's unique sleeping posture caused the entire shop to echo with the creaking of wooden furniture and the constant writhing and crawling of flesh...

[Search the thesaurus to name the Emperor-class Honkai Beast.]

[Based on preliminary ability calculations and physical appearance, the codename is confirmed as -- Raguel.]

[The remains are 12% intact. The rate of Honkai Energy particle spillover is extremely high. Given the lack of containment facilities nearby, only sampling and genetic preservation are recommended.]

Fu Hua didn't even glance at this Emperor-class Honkai Beast, which was exceptionally troublesome in every sense of the word. She didn't even have the mind to marvel at the changes in combat power after mastering the Inch Heart Fist. She handed over the sampling and preservation of the genes to the Nanobots that flew out of the dial on their own, and immediately rushed towards the area where the two of them were.

Although Shiyu Qiluo's abilities will, as expected, temporarily bring the Honkai Beast have lost their ability to govern, under her control and escape the crisis, the world is never short of damned accidents.

Every day, warriors sacrifice themselves for the Moth to Fire, and the young girl, as the captain, naturally took this as a warning.

Fortunately, when Fu Hua arrived at the battlefield, neither of them was seriously injured, and Shiyu Qiluo had already taken complete control of the surrounding Honkai Beast.

The decision to behead was clearly the right one.

Carole embraced the girl who suddenly lost her balance, and said worriedly:

"Qiluo?"

Shiyu Qiluo buried her face in her soft bosom, her slightly closed eyes glazed over for a few seconds, appearing exceptionally empty, but quickly returned to normal. She seemed to regain her senses, propping herself up and smiling softly as she whispered:

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired from controlling the Honkai Beast. Let's leave first."

Fu Hua surveyed the Honkai Beast that had dispersed on their own, suppressed the urge to kill them all, and said:

"There's definitely something fishy about this incident. Let's put the cleanup mission aside for now and head back to the main city."

"Good."
