Herrscher Core / Imaginary Power

"Boom!"

The pinkish-purple void opened again, and the Spear of Light, just as it had been launched, descended from the sky with terrifying force!

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Herrscher Core

Lin's figure was swallowed up by the overwhelming light spears. Even though Bianca was worried about his safety, she had no choice but to leap up and pounce on the Herrscher of the Void!

With speed so fast that she appeared next to the Herrscher of the Void almost instantly, Bianca's footsteps created a giant dent in the ground where she was standing, and her lance, carrying unparalleled power, pierced towards the Herrscher of the Void's head!

"..."

However, the silent Herrscher turned her eyes, and a portal appeared in Bianca's attack path, swallowing her attack into another space.

Bianca had anticipated this, and she stopped her charge in time. The propulsion wings on both sides of her armor fully unfolded, and gamma particles were ejected, like two fiery blue wings!

"Boom!"

Before the portal closed, she drew her lance, adjusted her posture in mid-air, twisted and handed the lance over, and a phantom of a knight holding a sword appeared behind her, the two attacks converging at one point!

"Swoosh—Sizzle!"

The tip of the spear stopped just in front of the Herrscher's expressionless face, unable to go any further.

The enormous knight's sword also stopped in mid-air, as if a pause button had been pressed.

The Herrscher of the Void flashed and disappeared from her spot, reappearing in the distance the next moment. She slowly turned her body and looked at Bianca.

Two ribbon-like white substances blocked Bianca's lance. The seemingly delicate white strips were wrapped around the tip of the lance. Phantom's knight's sword was also blocked by the same substance.

The Herrscher of the Void coldly pointed a finger—

"Click!"

The ribbon instantly curled up, forming a jet-white spear!

Bianca's pupils contracted, and she suddenly exerted force in her hand, shattering the spear before it could be launched!

"Smack."

A snap of the fingers rang out from the Herrscher of the Void's hand.

A massive array of portals appeared directly above, from which countless Honkai Beast roared and crashed down like a tidal wave!

Bianca's wings of light shot out, transforming into a galloping comet that hurtled towards the Herrscher of the Void. However, the Herrscher of the Void seemed to be toying with her, disappearing from her original spot once more and flashing back to another location.

With a wave of her hand, dozens of portals appeared beside the Herrscher of the Void, and a torrent of Honkai Energy erupted, causing the comet to dodge at lightning speed in mid-air.

Bianca's gaze was calm. If the Holy Sword could still be used, she would also have the ability to cut through space. How did the Herrscher of the Void manage to do that? It was impossible for a Herrscher alone to seal the Holy Sword.

"Splash!"

At this moment, the golden chains appeared at the most opportune time!

Viper-like chains coiled around the Herrscher of the Void's limbs, the power to suppress energy running rampant. The portal behind the Herrscher of the Void closed in an instant. She glanced indifferently at the chains on her hands and looked down.

On the ground, Lin, covered in blood, clutched his chest and knelt down. His hand rested on Golden Cross that emitted a faint light. Chains tightly bound the Herrscher of the Void, preventing her from using her abilities.

At this moment, Lin was still breathing, but he felt like he couldn't catch his breath. It was as if something was blocking his chest, and an indescribable impulse was surging through his body.

Wasak ... that Honkai Beast he was supposed to slay... is now seemingly reborn within him, alive again...

Is it because of the Herrscher of the Void?

Then we must quickly defeat the Herrscher of the Void; she is now bound by the Oath of Judas ...

"Oh..."

A scornful laugh flashed past my ear.

Lin's pupils contracted, and he suddenly looked up at the Herrscher of the Void, who should have been unable to move high in the sky. She also turned her gaze to meet his.

She showed no emotion or feeling, yet Lin seemed to see a mockery in her eyes.

"Bang!"

The chains binding the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void's limbs snapped instantly! The golden chains made of Soul Steel crumbled like tofu!

At this moment, Lin recalled the chains that had been severed after entering the crevice.

What's going on with this Herrscher of the Void...?

A rainbow appeared deep in Lin's eyes, and amidst his heavy breathing, he saw a strange sight.

Within the chest cavity of the Herrscher of the Void are two identical gems radiating intense light.

Lin had seen those two gems in Mobius's laboratory before; Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of the Void.

Two... cores.

A clue flashed through his mind, and without hesitation, he roared, "Bianca! Back off!"

This is a Herrscher with two Herrscher Core! Rita said that her ship is also a Divine Key, a vehicle capable of navigating the Quantum Sea, and the Herrscher Core it uses must be the core of the Herrscher of the Void. This Herrscher took out the ship's core from the rift and used it for her own purposes!

Lin Cong imagined what would happen if a Herrscher possessed two identical cores, but he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis; this Herrscher was extraordinary!

"Bass!"

Another portal appeared in front of Bianca, which she dodged with lightning speed!

But just as she was calculating how to attack next, she discovered that her position had changed.

What... happened? Didn't she dodge it?

Bianca's initial rapid forward momentum turned into a descent towards the ground. The feeling of weightlessness caught her off guard, and she struggled to turn around. But just then, the portal reappeared.

I don't know a single door.

Countless pinkish-purple holes appeared in every visible area, surrounding her without any blind spots.

In the pupils, the deadly spears in the portal erupted with Honkai Energy in an instant!

"Boom!"

Phantoms wielding a greatsword and a shield appeared simultaneously, blocking Bianca's path in front and behind her. She swung her lance as a sword, drawing a perfect arc, sweeping away the spears and the Honkai Energy torrent. The violent explosion occurred at point-blank range!

The azure comet burst out of the smoke; her armor was damaged in the explosion, but she herself was unharmed.

Seemingly intrigued by Bianca, the Herrscher of the Void shifted her attention from Lin to Bianca. With a wave of her hand, two light blue, transparent arms appeared from her side, grabbing two phantoms. Countless tiny arms then emerged from their sides, each plucking a fragment from the phantom before disappearing into thin air, instantly shattering the phantoms!

Lin wanted to continue manipulating the Oath of Judas to help Bianca, but the falling Honkai Beast had already begun to attack him. He had no choice but to draw his spear and fight the Honkai Beast. The first wave of attacks almost devoured him!

The intense sensations surging within his body were gradually amplifying. Lin brandished his spear, aiming for the head of the Chariot-class Honkai Beast. However, due to the strong sensations within his body, he deviated from his intended attack position, and the Temple-class Honkai Beast beside him sent him flying with a single spear thrust!

"Bang!"

It crashed heavily to the ground. Lin, supporting himself with his spear, watched as the colors in his eyes shifted constantly between rainbow and greenish-black.

The "sound" I hadn't heard for a long time rang in my ears again.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Imaginary Power

Lin held his spear, coldly watching the Honkai Beast beasts charging towards him with bared fangs and claws.

Above, the battle between the Herrscher and the Valkyrie continued, the shockwaves whipping up a fierce wind.

He felt the hot blood flowing from the back of his head into his collar, but surprisingly he didn't feel any discomfort. When he saw the Honkai Beast that wanted to crush him, the oppressive feeling in his chest disappeared, replaced by an indescribable... impulse.

It's like a primal instinct etched into our very being, bursting forth in a torrent.

Just as the Honkai Beast were about to swarm forward, a scythe flew from afar and precisely pierced the head of Chariot-class Honkai Beast.

A butterfly emitting a ghostly glow grasps a scythe, as if the Grim Reaper is dancing among the Honkai Beast. With each swing of the scythe, it takes the life of a Honkai Beast.

Rita, seeing that Lin was seriously injured, could no longer stay where she was and rushed over to help.

Just as she pinned the Charge-type Honkai Beast to the ground, a blurry black shadow shoved past her shoulder and lunged at the Honkai Beast, wielding a glowing golden spear.

"Mr. Lin!" She felt a pain in her shoulder and stumbled, but she had no time to care about that. She stared in astonishment at the back of the figure that was eagerly charging into the Honkai Beast.

Einstein, who was observing the data and considering countermeasures from a distance, also stared wide-eyed at the image displayed through the electronic telescope.

The man's silver hair instantly changed color under the stain of the pinkish-purple blood. His body was lowered to the ground, his mouth stretched to the sides, baring his teeth like a mad beast.

Lin leaped up and, with a move he would never have made before, pounced head-on on the Honkai Beast's body, piercing its core with his spear. Then he jumped off the Honkai Beast, kicking the end of the spear, which viciously pierced through the Honkai Beast's flesh and then through another Honkai Beast on its back.

"Bass!"

Another spear automatically sprang from the Oath of Judas and fell into his hand. He lowered his head and dodged the spear of the Temple-class Honkai Beast, which was accompanied by a bloody wind.

"Howl..."

A low growl, unlike any human's, came from his throat. He excitedly turned around and kicked the connection of the Temple-class Honkai Beast's spear, knocking it away. Then, he transformed into a cold blade, slipped behind the Honkai Beast's shield, and casually flicked his wrist.

"Bass!"

The limbs that had been transformed into shields separated from the Honkai Beast's body and crashed to the ground with a dull thud.

"Howl!!"

The Temple-class Honkai Beast let out a heart-wrenching roar, but the next second—

"Sizzle!"

With his hands gripping the spear, warm blood seeping from between his fingers, Lin pressed the Honkai Beast firmly under his feet until its massive, twitching eye lost its light.

Lin pressed his hand against the hard shell and pulled out the spear, the spurting blood spraying onto his face.

His face remained normal, but his hands were trembling slightly.

He had never imagined that regaining his color vision would be so wonderful.

Seeing the pinkish-purple blood flowing from the lifeless chunks of flesh, he felt a sense of relief and satisfaction.

He grabbed the elytra of a Charge-type Honkai Beast, his palm slashed and bleeding several times, and threw it at his feet. Lin then stepped on the Charge-type Honkai Beast's wing, plunged the spear into the other side, and pushed hard to both sides—

"Hiss--"

The Honkai Beast's internal organs and blood flowed out from its torn body.

Lin pounced on the next Honkai Beast almost without hesitation!

Einstein swallowed hard, covering one eye, shocked by the bloody scene.

That's not something Lin Ping would normally do. He values efficiency and conserving energy, and would never choose a bloodthirsty, bestial fighting style, nor would he torture and kill his enemies.

Has the Herrscher Core within him started functioning again?

Regardless, Lin is just as dangerous as Honkai Beast right now, so we must stay away from him.

The battle in the sky continued. Bianca charged forward despite the bombardment of the spears. She was not injured, but she could not get close to the Herrscher of the Void. The various teleportation portals alone made it impossible for her to defend against them. When the spears exploded, they would block the surrounding space, making it impossible for her to dodge and forcing her to defend passively.

The Herrscher of the Void snapped her fingers, and a pinkish-purple portal appeared in front of her. A Honkai Energy with a radius of ten meters surged out, and a phantom holding a shield appeared in front of Bianca to block the attack. The scattered Honkai Energy turned into particles that flew all over the sky.

Now!

The moment the Herrscher of the Void launched her attack, Bianca had already prepared her strategy. The phantom holding the shield blocked the attack and also blocked the Herrscher of the Void's view. The propulsion wings of her armor roared, and her speed instantly increased to the maximum. The next moment, she appeared directly above the Herrscher of the Void!

The knight's sword slashed towards the Herrscher of the Void with the power to split mountains and cleave seas!

"Bang!"

But the knight's sword collided with a light blue diamond-shaped barrier.

Bianca gritted her teeth and increased her strength, attempting to break through the barrier formed by the Imaginary Power.

The Herrscher of the Void's ability is essentially to manipulate Imaginary Energy and transform Imaginary Space. This Imaginary Energy is entirely under her control. The white spear, the portal, the Honkai Energy torrent, the transparent giant hand, and even this barrier are all manifestations of her control over Imaginary Energy.

Moreover, it has other uses.

Two portals opened to the upper left and upper right of Bianca. This time, instead of imaginary spears or Honkai Energy torrents, two purple right square prisms appeared!

There was no time to dodge, and the straight quadrangular prism crashed directly into Bianca.

The expected impact did not occur. The straight square prisms passed directly through Bianca's body. They had no physical form, but just as they intersected and enveloped her, the Herrscher of the Void pinched Bianca from a distance!

The right square prism transformed into a solid entity, trapping Bianca inside. Then, two white, strip-like objects shot out from the portal, intersecting and spiraling into a spear. The terrifying penetrating force caused it to pierce the right square prism in a straight line!

"Bass!"

Bianca flew backward from the shattered imaginary prism, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She had blocked the attack at the last moment, but was still injured; her side was pierced, leaving a horrific wound.

The Herrscher of the Void showed little joy at Bianca's injury; she simply coldly opened her hand again, creating countless portals that surrounded Bianca in a circle.

"Boom!"

Countless straight square prisms shot out from it, leaving no gaps in any direction. After completely enveloping Bianca, the prisms materialized, forming a huge purple sphere that floated in the air.

With her hands at her sides, the Herrscher of the Void unleashed a purplish-black energy orb composed of imaginary numbers into her palms. With a calm expression, she blasted the orb out.
