Divine Key Collection Mission Results: Gray Serpent Got MVP! (Part 2)
The Tenth Divine Key doesn't matter, there are too many of them, but Gray Serpent said he could help retrieve some of the remaining ones from Mount Taixu.
The Eleventh Divine Key, the Oath of Judah, is in Theresa's hands. Gray Serpent says he can help because Theresa is on her way to Changkong City aboard the Hyperion, and there are Gray Serpent spies on the Hyperion!
As for the Twelfth Divine Key, the Key of Erosion, Ksitigarbha's Soul, Sakura went to retrieve it.
So, if you do the math...
"Your entire team, which could all be used to fight the Finality, don't even contribute as much to the collection of God Keys as Gray Serpent alone?" Upon discovering this fact, Chen Li gasped in shock.
No, buddy!
"You flatter me, sir," Gray Serpent No. 2 said modestly.
"..."
"That Gray Serpent is such a good infiltrator," Raiden Mei complained to Kiana from the side.
"Indeed. It feels like the world is a giant sieve." Kiana nodded in agreement.
"Don't say that, we do know how to fight. We just haven't had the chance yet." Houraisan Kaguya waved her hand.
"Herrschers and Herrscher comrades! You are surrounded by the Far East Branch Schicksal! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!" Suddenly, a deafening voice came from outside.
"Theresa's voice?" Z Siegfried was taken aback.
"Alright, now that the Eleventh Divine Key holder has appeared, who will go?" Chen Li looked at his fierce generals.
"I'll do it! The Spring Spirit told me that if I fight Theresa, she's willing to help unconditionally and unlock all her abilities! I can finally have some fun!" Kiana raised her hand and said.
"Stop messing around, that's your period." Z Siegfried tugged at Kiana's sleeve.
"Huh? Aunt Flo? Never heard of that."
"She's your mother's best friend," Z Siegfried said.
"So, during the second Honkai, it was our whole family who ganged up on Sirin?" Kiana retorted.
"Uh... sort of."
"Me!" Houraisan Kaguya slowly stood up.
"You're finally willing to move?" Chen Li asked in surprise.
"I have Gabriel, who can slay Theresa!"
"Huh?" Gabriel was completely bewildered.
"Go, Gabriel, give that nun Theresa a little angelic shock!" Houraisan Kaguya grabbed Gabriel by the back of her Gabriel, intending to throw her out.
However, Houraisan Kaguya was the first to feel herself being disturbed by the back of her collar. She turned her head and saw Chen Li.
"Kaguya, let Wojian your limit."
"Ah?"
"Don't worry, I'll put a shield on you."
"Chen Li, don't do this, I'm scared." Looking at Chen Li, who had even handed over the core of his Friends Circle to her, Houraisan Kaguya was even more frightened.
He was afraid that Chen Li would put him into the real body of his Friends Circle and then kick him out like a football.
"Tch, forget it, I have General Z Siegfried, who can kill Theresa!" Chen Li looked at Z Siegfried.
"Huh? Me? Theresa is my sister, my dearest friend, she's Kiana's aunt! Tai He for me to go, would it?"
"I have a Miraculous Item here called the Revival Match... As the name suggests, it can resurrect any living being."
"I see that Schicksal is corrupt and Anti-Entropy is incompetent! The only rising star capable of fighting against the Honkai is World Serpent! I am willing to go!" Z Siegfried instantly changed his expression.
"Dad, that's not what you said just now."
"Silly child, your old man still needs this to save your old woman," Z Siegfried whispered.
"Oh, then you'll have to work hard. Because you're not the only one who wants to revive Cecilia," Chen Li said.
"Who else? I didn't expect anyone to still remember Cecilia ..." Z Siegfried was deeply moved.
"It's Sirin. She thinks Cecilia is still beautiful. She not only wants to resurrect her own mother, but also wants to resurrect Cecilia as well. You can never have too much maternal love, right?" Chen Li shrugged.
"Damn the Second Herrscher!" Z Siegfried, wielding the Greatsword of the Heavenly Fire, burst through the window.
No, I need to hurry!
His wife is about to be stolen away by Sirin!
"What? My mom wants to resurrect my mom and then take her away?" Kiana was shocked.
"???" by Raiden Mei.
Raiden Mei, who was completely oblivious to what Kiana was saying, couldn't understand a word Kiana was saying.
Are you speaking human language?
What do you mean by "your mom wants to resurrect your mom and then take her away"?
How many mothers do you have?
"Theresa! I've subdued the Herrscher! Get down here! And Raiden Mei has tons of bitter melon juice! And tons of limited edition HOMU plushies!"
Z Siegfried began to select a plan.
Z Siegfried chose the principle of "all's fair in war."
I'm sorry, Theresa, but I have to do something despicable to you for Cecilia's sake.
Z Siegfried could tell that Chen Li wasn't a bad person, so this was a necessary sacrifice to save Cecilia!
Z Siegfried thought that if Theresa were in his shoes, she would have done the same.
"What? Is that so? I'll come down right away!" Theresa exclaimed with delight!
Chapter 234 Although Otto, you have lost Saintess Kallen, you still have me (11k) "Z Siegfried! I considered you my brother, my dearest friend, and you actually lied to me!" Theresa glared angrily at Z Siegfried.
"Aha..." Z Siegfried scratched his head sheepishly.
"..." Theresa got angry at Z Siegfried's silly grin.
"Damn it, I'm bound by the Oath of Judah again. No, why did I say 'again'?"
"I was so stupid, really. I only knew that Z Siegfried, you have the strength to Herrscher one-on-one, possess the Seventh God Key, and couldn't be easily subdued by Herrscher, so naturally I wouldn't lie. But I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the revolution!" Theresa lamented to herself.
Theresa should have listened to Himeko and shouldn't have entered Raiden Mei's house so rashly.
But who could have imagined that Z Siegfried, who had put in so much effort to fight the Honkai, would betray them?
If it weren't for Z Siegfried explaining the situation to Theresa, how could Theresa have fallen into such a stupid trap?
"Z Siegfried, how can you do this to me? How can you do this to Cecilia?"
"I did this precisely for Cecilia."
"Ah?"
"This is Miraculous Forger, possessing a Miraculous Item that can resurrect a being simply by watching an advertisement. And he's a good person; all he wants is the God Key. If I bring you and your God Key to him, he'll share the Miraculous Item with me. Theresa, let's put ourselves in her shoes. If you had met her first, and she offered to resurrect Cecilia if you brought me and my God Key, you would definitely have been more ruthless than me," Z Siegfried said.
Moreover, Chen Li is an extremely kind person, a fact that has been widely acknowledged.
"That's true." Theresa couldn't help but nod.
If Cecilia could be resurrected, Theresa would be willing to bring Z Siegfried and his God Keys, let alone have Theresa hang Z Siegfried up and whip him for three days and three nights.
"And I've already obtained this Miraculous Item, but the problem is Miraculous Item it requires watching many advertisements. It will probably take about 25 hours of continuous advertising to acquire it." Z Siegfried scratched his head.
"Then go ahead and watch it, it's just 25 hours of commercials!"
"Although this advertisement requires you to watch the screen continuously for 25 hours without taking your eyes off it, it's not too difficult. But the problem is that the resurrected Second Herrscher, Sirin, also has the right to use this Miraculous Item, and she's also trying to take Cecilia away from her," Z Siegfried sighed.
"What?! That damned Second Herrscher! Then hurry up and watch the ad!"
"I want to watch it, I want to watch it..."
"No, you still lied to me!" Theresa suddenly realized that she couldn't put herself in the other person's shoes, because she was the one who was being arrested.
"I'm not lying to you. Look, isn't there HOMU here?" Z Siegfried pointed to Chen Li was wearing the Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit.
"Do you have any bitter melons at home? Make some fresh bitter melon juice for Theresa," Z Siegfried said, turning to Raiden Mei.
"No need for all that trouble, Yakumo Yukari!" Chen Li called out, looking up.
"Here it comes, here's some bitter melon juice!" A pair of slender, white hands reached out in front of Chen Li, one holding bitter melon juice and the other holding the latest HOMU comic.
"Here you go." Chen Li took the two items and handed them to Theresa.
"The latest HOMU comic and the limited edition premium bitter melon juice that even I can't bear to drink? Where did you get these?" Theresa was overjoyed upon seeing this.
Although Theresa was bound by the Oath of Judah, she still had room to maneuver. When Chen Li said that if Theresa didn't drink the bitter melon juice, he would throw it away, Theresa reluctantly accepted the bitter melon juice.
"Yakumo Yukari, where did you get it?" Chen Li asked.
"I just borrowed it from the headmaster's office at the St. Freya Academy," came Yakumo Yukari's voice.
"Pfft!" Theresa spat out a mouthful of bitter melon juice.
Isn't that my house?
"Ahem! You've gone too far!" Theresa exclaimed, embarrassed and angry.
"Don't get so agitated, we just want our belongings back."
"How could the Oath of Judah possibly belong to you?"
"Do you know the origin of Oath of Judah?"
"The Key of Constraint, a legacy of Previous Civilization." Theresa nodded.
Theresa isn't entirely stupid; she does know some information about the God Keys.
"Do you know which faction from the Previous Civilization created the Key of Constraint?"
"I heard my grandfather mention it; it seems to be Moth Chasing Flame."
"That settles it, doesn't it? I am the Moth Chasing Flame. I traveled from 50,000 years ago to the present. Otherwise, how do you think I managed to manipulate the Oath of Judah to counter you just now?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Judah's rated power effect is to betray his master, which was a brilliant design that I came up with myself!" Chen Li said proudly.
After all, he was Judah.
"What kind of design is this?!" Theresa exclaimed, bewildered.
How could anyone possibly incorporate such an outrageous design into the items they forge?
"This is Judah' First Law—forgetting your roots!"
"... If you were the one using Judah, would it betray you?" Theresa asked curiously.
"No, because this thing is voice-activated."
Theresa had already figured out that these people wouldn't make things too difficult for her, so Theresa didn't mind asking more questions.
If these people are truly bad, then Theresa believes that even if Cecilia could be resurrected, Z Siegfried would not push himself into the fire.
It wasn't because she trusted Z Siegfried, but because Theresa believed that if Cecilia knew that she had survived because of Theresa's sacrifice, she would probably kill herself in front of Z Siegfried on the spot.
Moreover, Theresa is also stalling for time!
Theresa has an ace up her sleeve!
Theresa knows some people keep calling her a fool, but in reality, Theresa incredibly shrewd!
I also have General Himeko!
Theresa specifically instructed Himeko that What If she didn't come out within 10 minutes, then...
"Here you go, this is the Himeko you wanted." Just as Theresa was fantasizing about punching Z Siegfried, kicking Raiden Ryoma, suppressing the Herrscher, and incidentally taking this Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit from Chen Li for her own collection, a red-haired figure, tightly bound, fell out of the crack and landed on the floor in front of everyone.
"What? How did you know about my and Himeko's plans? Can you read minds?" Theresa exclaimed in shock.
This group of people is absolutely terrifying!
"Hmm, what nonsense are you talking about? This is what I wanted." Chen Li glanced at Theresa strangely, then squatted down and poked the bound Murata Himeko.
"Oh, that's all." Theresa shut her mouth.
