Then she was left with only one fear...

That fear was that the person would disappear, that she would never see him again.

Therefore, for that person, Miss Moonlit would give her life.

"Another new day!"

The young girl got out of bed and walked to the window.

Looking at the golden sunlight of the evening outside, a beautiful smile appeared on her face.

Turning to the bathroom, she subconsciously turned on the faucet. Only after realizing there was no water did the young girl finally remember that she wasn't staying in a normal hotel.

As such, there was naturally no water or electricity in this room.

She didn't mind; she was still clean. She had already bathed in the river last night.

Looking at herself in the mirror, or rather, Miss Moonlit's appearance, she finally truly understood what she looked like now.

How to put it, it was naturally different from her two-dimensional image in the game.

It was more realistic, but paradoxically even more beautiful.

Miss Moonlit's outfit was primarily black, including a black long dress, black gloves, and black boots. This color combination made her look more mysterious and cold.

The hem of the skirt was exceptionally long, almost dragging on the ground, giving a solemn and elegant impression.

Furthermore, the skirt hem was adorned with several black roses. This design was very unique, not only enhancing the beauty of the outfit but also evoking her identity as a vampire.

In addition to her clothing, Moonlit Oath's hairstyle and accessories were also special. Her hair was white and very bright, creating a strong contrast with her black attire. Around her neck, she wore a delicate lace collarbone chain that perfectly matched her outfit's style.

The black stockings covering her legs were also very alluring.

Miss Moonlit looked at herself in the mirror, then gently parted her cherry lips, revealing cute little fangs.

"Miss Moonlit's fangs are so cute too. As expected of Moonlit Wife."

She licked her fangs with her tongue, watching her own actions in the mirror. It was simply too seductive. It gave her an urge to bite herself...

She wouldn't even hesitate to have her blood drained.

Of course, at this moment, Moonlit Oath: Heart of Love had long lost the original vampiric urges of Moonlit Embrace. The young girl who controlled the Aetherium Singularity had long lost her craving for blood.

Although she was a vampire, she had no bloodlust, nor did she feed on it.

Even though her vampire abilities had not disappeared.

She could still transform a host into a half-human, half-Honkai Beast being by injecting them with a Bacterial Honkai Beast through blood consumption, and this transformation would occur within 48 hours.

Infected individuals of the Bacterial Honkai Beast would share their life force with her.

The infected's blood-drinking behavior would strengthen Moonlit's power, while conversely, as long as Moonlit was not in mortal danger, the infected would gain near-eternal life.

If Moonlit died, then those whose blood she had consumed would also die.

This was also why, in the story, Moonlit bit all the "Theresas" to prevent the Captain from getting hurt.

Because in that world's rules, the closer the Captain got to "Theresa," the more danger he would be in. Moonlit chose this method... as long as all "Theresas" disappeared... the Captain would be fine.

"The little pointy ones are cute too~"

Licking her fangs at the mirror, the young girl curiously struck a few cute poses, feeling more and more pleased!

As expected of her Moonlit Wife.

Indeed, compared to the mature Moonlit Oath big sister, the little Theresa was completely incomparable.

Turns out she wasn't an LL controller at all; she simply liked Theresa, liked Moonlit.

She felt even more fond of this current Great Theresa.

But it was a pity. Even though Moonlit was an adult now, legally so, she couldn't do anything.

Feeling dejected, she returned to the bedside. Miss Moonlit simply collapsed and rested on the bed for a while before getting up again.

"Now I finally have 225 Crystals, but... it's not enough for even one pull."

She opened the system inventory. The Crystals were no longer 0 but 225. These were obtained yesterday from killing the bounty targets, the Lost Demon, and the Church Priest and Vice Bishop.

Together, they weren't even enough for one pull. It was truly meager earnings.

Right, yesterday that Priest seemed to have a Divine Artifact. She had forgotten to take the Divine Artifact first and had simply killed him. What a shame about the reward for collecting Divine Artifacts.

Divine Artifacts were items created by the God of the Bible, an exceptional power residing within specific humans. They weren't just weapons but more like a symbiotic power.

It was said that a Divine Artifact was already residing within the chosen human at birth, waiting for the host to awaken.

Perhaps some people had Divine Artifacts within them but never awakened them in their lifetime...

Thinking of this, Miss Moonlit also realized.

"Ai-chan, to seize a Divine Artifact requires specialized methods. Otherwise, others simply cannot obtain another person's Divine Artifact. And this method of seizing Divine Artifacts is only possessed by Fallen Angels. I still need to find a Fallen Angel to obtain the method for seizing Divine Artifacts?"

If that was the case, it would be troublesome. She didn't know if the Fallen Angels had researched the technology to forcibly seize Divine Artifacts yet. Even if they had researched it, obtaining this technology wouldn't be easy.

Moreover, using such a method, the host who had their Divine Artifact stripped away would also be certain to die.

"It's not that troublesome. As long as Captain catches those Divine Artifact users, you can directly obtain the Divine Artifacts using the system's power. And you don't need the Divine Artifact users to lose their lives."

Ai-chan appeared out of thin air before the young girl, assuring her with great certainty.

How could the Fallen Angel's shoddy skills possibly compare to the system?

Chapter 11: Collapse is Omnipotent

"That's good!"

Hearing Ai-chan's words, the young girl felt much more at ease.

It wasn't troublesome, and she didn't have to take someone's life just because she took their Divine Artifact. Not all Divine Artifact users deserved to die; she quite favored some of them.

"Then, can I use Divine Artifacts?"

As if remembering something, Miss Moonlit eagerly asked Ai-chan again.

Speaking of which, some Divine Artifacts had incredibly powerful abilities, no less than the equipment in games. They even had more functionalities.

Especially those Sacred Gears, which included the ability to stably traverse parallel worlds, even create worlds, or create any beast imaginable.

Freezing worlds, infinite enhancement, stopping the world's operation, resurrection and immortality, the authority of a creator, dominion over earth, dominion over sky and dragon species...

These were all things that could be achieved with Divine Artifacts; it all depended on the person!

The abilities and power of Divine Artifacts were not fixed. The same Divine Artifact in different hands would have vastly different upper and lower limits. It primarily depended on the owner; the stronger the owner's potential, the greater the Divine Artifact's power.

As long as the host's potential was strong enough, they could even unleash power beyond the Divine Artifact's limits.

In short, it would be wonderful if she could also use Divine Artifacts.

Miss Moonlit believed her potential was absolutely no lower than anyone else's. She represented all Valkyrie and Star Rail characters!

Even the current Moonlit Oath: Pledge of Love, had lived for tens of thousands of years and controlled the Aetherium Singularity...

And now, the question was, could she use Divine Artifacts?

Logically, she should be able to, right?

Although she was a Vampire, she also had Kallen's genes. But then again, maybe only human bloodlines from this world could use them?

"It's not the Genshin system, of course you can! Boss, haven't you heard that Collapse is omnipotent? Only elements are powerless."

"...Is that so?"

Ai-chan's words caused Miss Moonlit to pause, a strange expression on her face.

So, Collapse was truly omnipotent.

Fortunately, her system wasn't Genshin; otherwise, it would truly be powerless.

She also played Genshin, but she got angry and uninstalled it a while ago after losing the guaranteed pity three times in a row.

Only Collapse and Star Rail remained.

Speaking of which, if she hadn't uninstalled Genshin, would she have had three systems?

That...

Was a bit of a shame.

"Divine Artifacts..."

Since she could use Divine Artifacts, she couldn't sell some of them to Ai-chan. However, there were many Divine Artifacts in this world, and even Sacred Gears, the most powerful ones, numbered over a dozen.

Keeping some and selling others that weren't too important to her in exchange for Crystals would be enough for her to reach SSS rank, right?

As for her level, she didn't need to spend any Crystals.

She could gain experience to level up just by killing enemies. After last night's slaughter, Miss Moonlit was now level 3, and that was considering the low experience required for early levels.

It seemed reaching max level wouldn't be easy.

Fortunately, besides experience from killing enemies, there were also Experience Chips obtained from completing missions, and there was also a chance to get Experience Chips when pulling from the supply.

These could greatly speed up her leveling.

Although she had 20 supply cards, the young girl wasn't in a hurry to use them. She would wait until she completed more bounties and had enough Crystals to pull them all at once!

Many Captains were accustomed to pulling when they had 280 Crystals, but she preferred to wait until she had a sufficient amount.

This way, she wouldn't miss out on characters she wanted due to insufficient Crystals or have to spend money.

Her allowance was indeed quite substantial, but she couldn't afford to spend it all like this!

She had to spend all her allowance to max out Great Moonlit because she didn't have enough Crystals and really loved transforming into the adult Moonlit Oath.

She used to love Ai Li the most, but now Miss Moonlit was slightly higher in her heart, which showed how much she adored Moonlit Oath: Pledge of Love.

"Ai-chan, is there a way to get the locations of the bounty targets? It's too difficult to find those bounty targets in this unfamiliar place!"

"The open world in the game locks onto targets."

Having made up her mind, she needed to upgrade her Valkyrie level to SSS as soon as possible, which required a lot of Crystals! She had to complete more bounties.

And it wasn't just for Valkyrie fragments, but also for Stigmata.

Currently, she only had a set of Hana Stigmata given by Ai-chan.

Who in their right mind uses this stuff anymore?

You have to switch to the Moonlit exclusive Stigmata. Even if it's not the full "Sweet Dream" set, at least use the budget "Darwin" set. If that's not possible... Edison will do.

And all of that requires a massive amount of Crystals to draw from the gacha...

The rewards for the bounty missions are tempting, but there aren't any targets. Relying on luck like this, with no direction, is too difficult.

[There's a clue! Can't the boss see it themselves? Just click on the bounty target you want to complete and select "Purchase Bounty Clue." It'll be there.]

As Ai-chan said this, she looked around, then flew over to the room's electrical outlet. After cautiously glancing at the door a few times, she stuck her finger into it!

The next moment, her face showed a look of confusion. Why was there no electricity?

The girl looked at Ai-chan's actions with some speechlessness. Just as expected of Ai-chan, the electricity thief.

However, she suddenly realized something.

"Wait, you have to buy the bounty clues?"

Shouldn't they just give her the clues directly?

What kind of mhy behavior is this!

To do bounty missions, you have to buy the clues yourself...

Complaining about the system in her mind, the girl opened the bounty mission interface and clicked on a bounty target. Sure enough, there was a prompt...

Looking at the prompt, the girl's face instantly darkened.

Not only do you have to spend Crystals to buy bounties, but there are also restrictions.

Available to purchase for Moonlit bounty clues: S-SSS (1 time), A-C (3 times), D (10 times).
