The Smile Doesn't Disappear-it Just Moves to Chen Li's Face

Considering this old man's advanced age, his rather unique appearance, and the fact that he shielded me from the Tai Xu Sword God... fine.

Although in the end, his act of blocking the Tai Xu Sword God for her was of no use at all, he was able to gain Sirin's initial trust because of it.

"I want to learn that move from earlier, I think it's called something like the Tai Xu Sword God, right?" Chen Li said excitedly.

"Tch, instead of spending time learning that kind of thing, you'd be better off learning from me how to control the power you already possess, similar to that of the Herrscher of the Void. How did you manage to live for 50,000 years without learning how to use this power?" Sirin looked at Chen Li with some disbelief.

Although Sirin is very prone to arrogance and suffers setbacks many times because of this personality, she never reflects on her mistakes because she gains new strength after each setback. However, she has a strong learning ability.

For example, after Sirin was severely injured and near death from being bombed by Anti-Entropy's atomic bomb, she was taken to the moon by Benares for a period of training and was able to control her power more precisely.

Therefore, Sirin found it difficult to understand Chen Li's situation.

50,000 years... even a pig...

"Your Queen, you may not know this, but 50,000 years ago, Honkai beasts like us could only grow rapidly and learn their power by staying by the side of our Herrscher, thus transforming into the most powerful weapon in our Herrscher's hands..."

"Is that so?" Sirin didn't remember God mentioning this to her.

"Yes, Your Queen, yes! Just by staying near you, I can become more proficient in using the power of the Herrscher of the Void. Once my proficiency reaches 100%, I can become your strongest Exclusive Weapon!" Chen Li nodded with great certainty.

"Then why are you so bad at this game?"

"... Your Queen, as you know, you were defeated not long after I was born, and I lost my Herrscher at a young age." Chen Li instantly became dejected.

"..." Sirin's smile vanished.

Sirin also lost her mother when she was young.

"Then why not Bella?" Sirin asked after a moment.

"Bella? Who?"

"My Companion Honkai Beast."

"What? You have a new Companion Honkai Beast? But that makes sense, every Herrscher has their own Companion Honkai Beast. I don't know why the Herrscher of this civilization don't have this ability in their Companion Honkai Beast, but Your Queen, would you like to see my precious treasure?"

"What treasure?"

"It will be your Exclusive Weapon in the future."

"Okay, let me see." Sirin became interested.

"Ta-da!" Chen Li pulled out a giant pair of scissors, as tall as a person, from the chest pocket of his HOMU suit, leaving Sirin stunned.

However, considering that the other party is the Companion Honkai Beast of the Herrscher of the Void, it seems normal for it to have some spatial manipulation ability, so I didn't investigate further.

"These scissors..." Sirin placed her hand on the scissors, and indeed felt a connection with them.

"However, this pair of scissors is still in its embryonic stage. I need to wait until my Herrscher of the Void Authority proficiency reaches 100% before I can infuse it with a soul," Chen Li said, sparing no effort in trying to convince her.

The reason why Sirin was unable to use the Myriad Judgment of All Things Miraculous Item because Chen Li had not granted her the right to use it.

Chen Li felt no guilt whatsoever for deceiving a little girl.

Because the real Sirin is already "dead".

The person standing in front of Chen Li now is actually Sirin's Herrscher Persona.

Kiana isn't the only one with Herrscher Persona; Sirin does too.

When the Honkai Consciousness borrowed the body of a small Honkai beasts and induced Sirin to exhaust almost all of her Honkai energy to activate her spatial ability and transfer to the location of the gestating Emperor-class Honkai Beast Shiva, it led Sirin into a special space.

Here, Sirin's Herrscher Persona tears apart Sirin's original personality and completely takes over Sirin's body.

Gentleness and kindness were easily torn apart by hatred and Honkai, and Schicksal needs to face next is the complete Second Herrscher, Sirin.

It was through this transformation that Sirin gained the authority to directly communicate with the Honkai Consciousness.

My dearest Queen, if you truly wish to live again, you must first die.

After seeing Chen Li put the scissors back into the bag that resembled a four-dimensional pocket, Sirin looked at Cheng Lixue.

"You're the apprentice of the person who almost seriously injured me, right? Teach my retinue how to use a sword from now on, and I can spare your life," Sirin said to Cheng Lixue.

"..." Cheng Lixue simply glanced at Sirin without saying a word.

"Pretentious." Sirin snorted coldly, then opened her palm, revealing a feather imbued with the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

"Your master used these feathers to invade my consciousness. Now these few remaining feathers belong to me, and I can use them on you again." Sirin picked up a feather and looked at Cheng Lixue.

Cheng Lixue's pupils contracted.

Feather of Dust!

The next moment, a feather floated past Cheng Lixue's eyes instantly became lifeless.

"Alright, the rest is up to you. Now, let me see who I should use this new toy on?" Sirin fiddled with the other feathers of Feather of Dust, as if she had found a new toy.

After Sirin decided on her target, a huge imaginary Teleportation Passage suddenly opened up in front of Sirin. At the other end of the channel was a white-haired Valkyrie standing on the snowfield, fighting against Honkai beasts and wielding a huge lance.

Two imaginary giant hands reached out to grab Cecilia. Just as Cecilia noticed the attack and tried to stop it, a Feather of Dust imbued with the Herrscher of the Void floated past her eyes. Cecilia instantly lost consciousness and stood frozen in place, only to be grabbed by those hands and dragged back into the imaginary passage.

Seeing this scene, Chen Li deeply felt that Sirin's defeat was not unjust.

Cecilia, who was being held in both arms, had the Sixth God Key slip from her hands and fall to the ground, but Sirin didn't even think about it.

After Cecilia was captured by Sirin, another imaginary portal was opened.

This time, Sirin captured a man named Z Siegfried.

Z Siegfried, wielding the Greatsword of the Heavenly Fire, quickly sensed the giant imaginary hand emerging from the unfolded Imaginary Teleportation portal. He tried to defend himself, but Feather of Dust drifted past again.

And so, Z Siegfried was also captured by Sirin.

This time, Chen Li felt even more heartbroken, because Sirin also ignored the Divine Fire Sacred Judgment that slipped from Z Siegfried's hands.

You're playing a game where you don't pick up the loot that drops from the boss? Is that how you play the game?

However, seeing that even Cecilia and Z Siegfried were easily hypnotized and lost consciousness by Feather of Dust, Chen Li suddenly had a bold idea.

Driven by this audacious idea, Chen Li boldly asked Sirin for the Feather of Feather of Dust that controlled Cheng Lixue.

Whether it was because Sirin was really easy to fool, or because gaining Sirin's trust was difficult and Chen Li had already overcome that hurdle, in any case, the feather really ended up in Chen Li's hands.

"Bella, you look a bit disheveled. Let me help you. I've been wanting to try out my new toy." Bella, the humanoid Honkai beasts who was fighting Z Siegfried Bella, heard Sirin's voice.

"I'm sorry, Your Queen. I was careless just now. Please give me a chance. I will definitely clean up the rest of the ants." Bella immediately assured Sirin, because she didn't want to disappoint her Queen.

"After we've finished cleaning up the ants, we'll return to the Babylon Tower. I have a new companion to introduce to you."

"Yes, Your Queen."

Meanwhile, Chen Li had already begun learning swordsmanship from Cheng Lixue.

Chen Li didn't know how to use the Feather of Dust, but seeing Cheng Lixue start practicing swordsmanship silently with a broken sword after being released, Chen Li didn't dare to make a move.

As we all know, once a program starts running, no matter how strange the way it runs, as long as it runs, don't touch it.

Chen Li watched with great interest as Cheng Lixue displayed the Taixu Sword Technique before him.

Although this Taixu Sword Technique is tangible yet intangible, and one can certainly not learn it completely, it doesn't matter; allocating abilities will solve everything.

Once you've mastered the basics of the Taixu Sword Technique, the rest is just a matter of allocating skill points. After all, Chen Li only needs to know how to unleash the Tai Xu Sword God.

What are you babbling about? Come and witness my Hundred Refinements Tai Xu Sword God!

What? The Tai Xu Sword God is soulless when placed like this?

Just like a forced melon won't be sweet.

Whether it's sweet or not, you'll have to try it to tell.

But this isn't the only thing that brings joy.

While Sirin was using Feather of Dust to create an illusion for Z Siegfried and Cecilia, she was also maintaining her Imaginary Barrier skill.

Because Herrscher of the Void are using their powers, Chen Li's proficiency in the Herrscher of the Void Authority model is also steadily increasing at a moderate pace.

At this moment, Sirin was biting her thumb in frustration, because Sirin originally wanted to create a terrifying dream for Z Siegfried and Cecilia, but Feather of Dust refused to cooperate and instead built an ordinary and happy family for them.

"You stay here and keep an eye on things, I'll be right back! These bastards who stole my happiness, I'll definitely destroy their happiness too!" Seeing the fast-forwarded scene of a family happily celebrating their birthday and cutting their birthday cake, Sirin was furious.

"Your Queen, don't go there! That place... is hell!" Chen Li shouted.

"Hell? That's right, I'm the one who turned their happy dreams into hell!" Sirin gripped the feather of Feather of Dust tightly and joined the dream without a second thought.

"Sigh, how can Sirin, a newcomer who is extremely starved for love, possibly compete with Cecilia, a succubus-level wife with maxed-out maternal love?"

After Sirin's consciousness was completely immersed in the illusion, Chen Li walked straight towards Sirin, his body passing through the Imaginary Barrier that Sirin had built to defend against external enemies. He took out the Peaceful Longbow and gently touched Sirin.

Then the "Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots" effect is activated.

"Well..."

When Chen Li saw Sirin's only three positive relationships, Chen Li was stunned for a moment.

One Bella, one Chen Li, one Honkai Consciousness / Finality.

(And a large number of Honkai beasts with subordinate relationships)

The rest are all negative relationships.

Even one's own imposter can be considered a positive relationship, which shows how lenient the criteria for determining a relationship with the effect of Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots the problem are.

Even so, there are only three "people" in Sirin's positive relationship list.

You asked about Sirin's mother?

Sirin's mother... is dead!

But then again, at such a young age, Sirin already understands that the most stable relationship is one between three people.

That's great.

Chen Li stepped out of Sirin's Imaginary Barrier, then removed the hood from his suit and put on a pair of colored contact lenses.

The "Thorn in the Eye" has been dealt with.

Goal: The Finality!

[Thorn in the Eye is swayed]

[Fixed successfully]

[Fixed content: XP of the Cocoon of Eternity]

"???"

"What strange thing just flashed by?" Chen Li frowned, sensing that something was not so simple.

Chapter 136 The smile won't disappear, it will only transfer to Chen Li's face.

[Thorn in the Eye] (One-time use): Ignores distance and can pin the thorn to any object you see, fixing a random attribute of that object. Once you choose to permanently fix an attribute, the Miraculous Item disappears and the effect is permanent.

This is the effect of the Miraculous Item that Chen Li just used.

But this thing has a drawback: it's truly random.

After Chen Li touched Sirin with the Peaceful Longbow and successfully triggered the "Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots" effect, a huge cocoon appeared in Chen Li's eyes— the Cocoon of Eternity.

But when Chen Li used the Thorn in the Eye for the first time, the thing that was immobilized was a bit strange.

"The Cocoon of Eternity has an XP? The Cocoon of Eternity has an XP?" Chen Li expressed his incomprehension and great shock.

What kind of junk are these fixed ones?

Fortunately, before it becomes completely fixed, the Thorn in the Eye can be randomly fixed repeatedly.

"Isn't it just about farming stats? I'm an expert at that. Back in the day, I farmed over 100 Thorn in the Eye just to get a top-tier fire damage goblet!" Chen Li sat on the ground nonchalantly, watching Cheng Lixue demonstrate the Taixu Sword Technique while simultaneously targeting the Key of the Finality.

So what was the result?

"Miracle, please don't ask such tricky questions next time, okay? It's very impolite of you."

It seems the outcome won't be good.

"It's not my fault. Everyone knows that there's no Fire Damage Cup in the Witch's Dungeon." Chen Li replied casually, and then heard the notification that the fix was successful.

[Fixed successfully]

[Fixed Content: The Gender of the Cocoon of Eternity]

"The Cocoon of Eternity has a gender? Let's try again!"
