Miraculous Forger Starting from Honkai

As a Herrscher who could freely draw upon Honkai energy and manipulate Imaginary Space, let alone being defeated—if her opponent so much as brushed a corner of her collar, she would call them Mom!

An arrow came flying toward her. The Herrscher of the Void watched it with amusement, and then space congealed. The arrow slowed to an extreme crawl. The Herrscher of the Void leisurely shifted aside, allowing it to graze past her.

Space, in her hands, was nothing more than a toy.

Then, the Herrscher of the Void blinked away, widening the distance between them.

After snapping her fingers, she sent the many Honkai beasts left behind charging madly toward Elysia.

What era was this? Who still fought one-on-one?

You wanted to challenge me? Defeat the Four Heavenly Kings under my command first!

But just as the Herrscher of the Void was congratulating herself on her brilliance, a somewhat panicked cry rang out above her. Instinctively, she looked up.

"A beautiful boy fell from the sk—...?" Elysia glanced curiously at the Herrscher of the Void, who seemed to have been smashed straight into the ground by a figure from an enormous height, then turned her attention to the many Honkai beasts closing in around her.

It was a good opportunity, but she seemed to be surrounded.

Smack!

"Cough, cough... Why did I teleport into the air? That hurt... Huh? Why doesn't it hurt?" Chen Li sat up amid the rubble and looked around in confusion.

Wasn't he supposed to appear near the Herrscher of the Void?

Where was the Herrscher of the Void?

"B-Bastard!" A gritted, furious voice came from beneath Chen Li.

"I see, I see! One of you distracted me while the other launched a sneak attack! Very well, you humans have finally managed to hurt me. But you've also angered me! Prepare to be banished into endless space!" The nearly hysterical voice startled Chen Li, and then a tremendous force violently shoved him away.

"Ah, sorry... May I ask, are you perhaps the Herrscher of the Void?" As a polite young man of the new era, Chen Li's first reaction was to apologize. But after hearing her words, he quickly caught on.

He had teleported near the Herrscher of the Void?

But nobody said it would be this close!

It normally would not have been this close, but Chen Li's teleportation had been less precise than the Herrscher of the Void's catching.

"Shut up! Die!" The Herrscher of the Void struggled to her feet, then clenched her hand fiercely at Chen Li.

Nothing happened.

Only a gust of wind swept through the ruins, making Chen Li feel a little chilly.

"Huh?" The Herrscher of the Void froze.

The imagined scene of shattered space and blood flowing like rivers never came.

Chen Li tilted his head, then grabbed the Miraculous Forging Guide and held the Survival Knife in his right hand. Taking advantage of her daze, he attacked.

The Miraculous Forging Guide was both the external manifestation of Chen Li's soul form and a weapon.

Its advantage was that it was indestructible, and the more Miraculous Items there were in the Omniscient Archive, the higher the Miraculous Forging Guide's Attack Power became.

And no matter how far the book was from him, Chen Li could instantly recall it.

Its downside was that blunt-force attacks were often not lethal enough.

But among the other items Chen Li owned, the Knight's Broken Sword was indeed a broken sword, and not a sharp one. Without being able to freely summon the Knight Heroic Spirit after coming to another world, it was just decoration.

Chen Li took it out and immediately put it away.

The Alchemical Pistol that had shattered the Kang Feng Shield worked by drawing Spirit Energy from the air to fire, but this world had no Spirit Energy...

After glancing at the Alchemical Revolver in his left hand, which charged extremely slowly, Chen Li continued using the Forging Guide.

There were no weapons in the Travel Pack, only necessities for traveling between worlds, such as small mirrors, salt, spices, glass beads, a militia training manual, the Barefoot Doctor's Manual, and so on. The Survival Knife was already the best weapon he had.

If he had not traveled to another world, Relics would have been enough to protect himself.

"You! You dare hit me!" The Herrscher of the Void dodged the knife but was struck hard by the Miraculous Forging Guide. After staggering, she pointed a trembling finger at Chen Li.

Since obtaining Herrscher Authority, this was the "heaviest" injury the Herrscher of the Void had ever suffered.

And it was the most humiliating one!

"So I hit you, huh? You're the Herrscher of the Void, huh?" Chen Li raised his weapons and chased after the Herrscher of the Void, beating her as he went.

This was the bravest Chen Li had ever been!

He had one chance at resurrection anyway. What was there to be scared of?

Bosses as easy to bully as the Herrscher of the Void were already rare!

The Herrscher of the Void was powerful, but unfortunately, Chen Li was her natural counter.

Chen Li's passive ability originally nullified an opponent's time, space, and fate abilities upon contact. After being enhanced by the Miracle System, not only had its effect strengthened, it even worked on the Herrscher of the Void from another world. It had also directly become an area-of-effect influence that would normally only be possible after a Traveler class leveled up.

It could be said that encountering the Herrscher of the Void was Chen Li's greatest "fortunate encounter."

Chen Li had found the one Herrscher he could counter!

Click!

A photograph abruptly appeared before Chen Li.

In the photograph was the scene of Chen Li chasing down and beating the Herrscher of the Void.

Comeback Kid (Miracle Card): Defeat a Herrscher with a human body.

Effect 1: You may selectively increase the chance of encountering Herrschers after arriving in this world.

Effect 2: When a Herrscher is hostile toward you, they will feel a slight sense of pressure and be more likely to make foolish decisions inconsistent with the current situation.

Effect 3: Can be used to forge Miraculous Items.

The photograph flashed and vanished, drifting into the Travel Chronicle page within the Miraculous Forging Guide.

The First Miraculous Forging

Buzz!

A sound like a mosquito in flight entered Chen Li's ears. He rolled aside, dodging an afterimage attack that had nearly severed his arm.

"Heh." The Herrscher of the Void gave a cold laugh. She looked somewhat disheveled, but there were not many wounds on her body.

Chen Li warily glanced at the Striker-Class Honkai Beast—the Mosquito Honkai Beast—that had retreated swiftly after missing its strike. Then he looked toward the Herrscher of the Void, who had grabbed the body of another Striker-Class Honkai Beast, flown into the air, and finally seated herself atop a Chariot-Class Honkai Beast's head.

Chen Li had failed to kill the Herrscher of the Void in a short time.

Because he had suddenly realized he had overlooked a problem.

The Herrscher of the Void was not skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and her combat experience was inferior to Chen Li's trained skills. But after being tempered by Honkai energy, she possessed exceptional physical abilities, immense strength, and swift reactions.

She was like an untrained Valkyrie, but her physical abilities were still there.

The moment a human became a Herrscher, their species had already evolved.

What ordinary human could possibly survive in a vacuum?

The fact that Chen Li could inflict small wounds on the Herrscher of the Void was already because he had some skill in hand-to-hand combat.

And when the Herrscher of the Void realized that only her Herrscher Authority had been sealed, while her use of Honkai energy had not been prohibited, it was Chen Li's turn to be on guard.

Although a Herrscher's Honkai energy existed within Imaginary Space and required a Herrscher Core to access Imaginary Space, a small amount of Honkai energy still remained within the Herrscher Core.

The Herrscher of the Void simply could not use her Authority. It was not as if she had become crippled.

But once the Herrscher of the Void noticed that fact, her Honkai beasts had arrived, and she could no longer be bothered to act personally.

"Human, I am waiting for the lesser Honkai beasts under my command. What are you waiting for?" The Herrscher of the Void sneered down at Chen Li from above.

"I'm waiting for..."

"Are you waiting for me?" A pleasant, melodious voice entered Chen Li's ears. Then a dazzling figure like scattering flowers burst into his view.

Gorgeous Crystal arrows flew forth, pinning the Honkai beasts surrounding Chen Li to the ground one by one.

"Hi, young man. Need some help?" Amid the Herrscher of the Void's gritted expression, the pink-haired beauty slowly strolled to Chen Li's side.

"..." Chen Li was stunned.

Well damn, the time he had arrived really was right before the two of them fought.

"Though I came a little late, it seems I'm not too late." Elysia spoke confidently.

"No, you're already late." Chen Li shook his head.

Because after moving a certain distance away from Chen Li, the Herrscher of the Void had begun flying again.

"Hm? Why can she fly again?" Elysia asked curiously.

"That's not important. What matters is that she looks like she's about to run." Chen Li looked at the wary Herrscher of the Void, who was clearly itching to leave.

"That is troublesome." Elysia frowned.

Elysia was confident she could defeat the Herrscher of the Void, but she was not confident she could catch her.

The Herrscher of the Void's abilities were truly convenient for escaping.

"Sigh, I have a plan." Chen Li raised one finger.

"Hm?"

Floating in the air again, the Herrscher of the Void hesitated as she faced the current situation.

If these two were separated, the Herrscher of the Void was not afraid of either of them.

She did not believe Elysia could kill her, and Chen Li's attacks were feeble.

But if one person suppressed her abilities while the other attacked her, then she would be finished.

Logically, the Herrscher of the Void should run now, but she was deeply uneasy about Chen Li, the person capable of suppressing her abilities.

"Plan failed! Split up and retreat!" Just as the Herrscher of the Void hesitated, the two people who had been standing together suddenly shouted and instantly fled in separate directions.

"Hm?" The Herrscher of the Void was baffled.

Although once she moved a certain distance away from Chen Li, he could no longer suppress her abilities, and they truly would no longer have a chance to kill her, wasn't it a little too hasty to flee so decisively?

Though filled with doubts, the Herrscher of the Void could not suppress her killing intent toward Chen Li. She mobilized most of the Honkai beasts across the city to pursue Elysia, while she personally led over a hundred Honkai beasts after Chen Li.

The Herrscher of the Void had seen many humans, but Chen Li was the only human she had ever seen who could restrain her abilities.

Now that he had separated from his companion, it was the perfect chance to kill him.

If this person did not die, the Herrscher of the Void would not be able to sleep!

And one hundred Honkai beasts were enough to crush him to death.

Chen Li was not very fast, so he was soon surrounded by Honkai beasts.

Yet Chen Li, surrounded by Honkai beasts, was not panicked in the slightest.

"You asked what I was waiting for earlier, right? I was waiting for the cooldown!" Chen Li looked up at the Herrscher of the Void in the sky.

Countless enormous shadows engulfed Chen Li!

But when the Herrscher of the Void ordered the Honkai beast horde to disperse to see whether Chen Li had been successfully killed, what entered her sight was Chen Li, firmly protected inside a circular barrier roughly five meters in diameter.

A hammer and a forging platform had also appeared before Chen Li.

Miraculous Forging Platform

"Whew..." Chen Li let out a breath of relief.

After gaining Miracle Power by chasing down the Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li, as a Miraculous Forger, was able to forge Miraculous Items.

But Chen Li had also been waiting to save up more Spacetime Energy—Starstones.

Because Chen Li discovered that whenever he did something that deviated from the original spacetime's destined course—such as beating the Herrscher of the Void—his Starstones could be replenished rapidly.

This barrier was a protective barrier formed to prevent a forger from being disturbed while forging Miraculous Items. It was the same type of barrier Pixie Miracle had once used to trap Chen Li.

Until Attack Power exceeded a certain threshold, the Miracle Barrier would not break.

At the very least, the Herrschers and Honkai beasts before him could not surpass that threshold.

Ignoring the furious Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li took out the only two Relics in his possession.

Call to the Distance and the Knight's Broken Sword.

Though their effects had been greatly weakened due to the different Worldview, these two Relics were indeed excellent materials.
