Doomed no matter how you looked at it

Shiroyasha was very frustrated. Now that she no longer had the Honkai Trial Card, it was impossible for her to get revenge.

After all, she wasn't one of those Two-Digit opponents. When she had the Honkai trial card, she wasn't afraid of a one-on-one fight, but those guys actually ganged up on her!

"If you still want it, I can give you the Spirit Rank of Binding!" Suddenly, Li Yu took out the Spirit Rank that belonged to the Herrscher of Binding.

No one says that Herrscher can't continue after their death, right? So, is it okay to send Shiroyasha back with the Authorities to Herrscher of Binding?

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Shiroyasha's eyes lit up. It wasn't a bad idea, but this Spirit Rank seemed to attack indiscriminately, so she calmed down and gave up.

Once the Binding are lifted, everyone will become ordinary people and unable to use any power, including her. The result would still be that she would be ganged up on and beaten up again, so let's just forget about it.

Thinking this, Shiroyasha sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. I'll come back to watch the show when the Finality comes!"

She wouldn't do something that required physical combat; she'd get beaten to a pulp. That's something she absolutely didn't want.

Hearing what the Shiroyasha said, Li Yu shrugged. If she didn't want to, then so be it. He didn't say anything more and simply put away the Spirit Rank.

The surrounding space shook, and the two were returned to the Lower Floors. Li Yu waved to the Shiroyasha and then spoke.

He said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I need to make some arrangements now; we can't let them rest."

Since those guys were severely injured by the Shiroyasha, Li Yu naturally wanted to take advantage of their weakness and finish them off. There was no time to hesitate.

Next up is Xia Yu.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Shiroyasha's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Who do you plan to send next?"

She was really looking forward to seeing a show. Those guys were weakened right now; if other Herrscher went in, they could definitely take down a few of them, right?

"Herrscher of Thunder ~!" After saying that, Li Yu located Xia Yu's position and pulled her over directly.

Xia Yu, who was chatting with her classmates, was stunned when she noticed the change in the surrounding space. When she saw Li Yu and Shiroyasha, her eyes lit up.

"Is it my turn?!" Now that she'd been brought here, it meant it was her turn to go on stage, and Xia Yu immediately perked up.

Seeing the other person's excited expression, Li Yu nodded and said, "That's right, it's your turn. Next, I'll send you up there, and then you can absorb Honkai and fight those guys!"

After saying that, Li Yu was about to send her upstairs when Shiroyasha spoke up, "Wait, I'll tell you about those guys!"

To cause trouble for those guys, Shiroyasha went to great lengths. She grabbed Xia Yu and ran to the side.

They chattered away, explaining the information about those gods and Buddhas.

Xia Yu also carefully wrote down the information that Shiroyasha told her, because she didn't want to be killed as soon as she went up there, that would be too embarrassing.

No matter what, they should take a few with them, right? Knowing the information and not knowing the information are two completely different things.

Seeing the two whispering amongst themselves, Li Yu didn't mind and waited quietly, while also looking up at the Upper Floors.

Because of Shiroyasha's self-destruction, the group was severely weakened. They hadn't even recovered from the injuries inflicted by the Herrscher of the Void, and now Shiroyasha's attack only compounded their woes.

The most devastating thing is that many more God have perished this time, and when everyone was preparing to collect the bodies of the fallen, they had vanished!

This discovery made everyone's faces extremely grim. Thinking of the Herrscher's ability to target Divinity, everyone immediately felt uneasy.

Could those abilities targeting Divinity have originated from this? Otherwise, why would that guy need the corpses of God?

"Damn it, won't the next Herrscher be even more terrifying? One that's completely designed to target us!" Typhon finally couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing.

He had never seen anything so terrible. No wonder when Shiroyasha saw that Pure-Blooded Dragon Species, the other party was collecting...

The body.

What are the corpses for? They're just for dealing with them, that's absolutely outrageous.

"I don't recall us offending him, right? Otherwise, why would he target us?" someone suddenly asked.

None of us seem to have offended Li Yu, right? So why is Li Yu targeting us so aggressively now? What's going on here?

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, many feeling a little guilty, because they didn't know if they had offended Li Yu. They had offended too many people; how could they know if they had offended him?

Even the person who asked this question couldn't be sure if they had offended someone at some point, and that someone was holding a grudge and now coming to seek revenge.

"In short, go back and rest well. Nobody knows when the next Herrscher will appear, and they're all stronger than the last!" The person who brought this up had an extremely grim expression.

These Herrscher appear one after another are progressively stronger. The first one, although he almost wiped out the entire Biblical Pantheon, could still be easily dealt with if they united and worked together.

When the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, appeared, her combat power was significantly stronger than before. Then there was that Shiroyasha guy... Later on, even when the Twin Goddesses appeared together, no one would doubt anything.

Thinking about this, many people felt melancholy. They really wanted to leave this awful place. The Shiroyasha probably came here to give them a severe beating, right?

The Shiroyasha wasn't this strong before. In a one-on-one situation, many of them could have defeated Shiroyasha. After all, his Spirit Rank has been nerfed again and again, and his current strength is not as good as it was in the beginning.

This time, the power that Shiroyasha unleashed was even more terrifying than in his prime; otherwise, why would they have taken so long to defeat him?

After discussing for a while, the group returned to their respective Pantheon, while also strengthening oversight of the Upper Floors and preventing others from suddenly becoming Herrscher.

When Herrscher is first born, they are at their weakest, just like when the First Herrscher was first born. If you can seize the opportunity, you can easily kill them.

The guys from the Biblical Pantheon were too afraid to believe that an angel could become Herrscher, and because they weren't very familiar with her, she had time to grow stronger, and in the end, they almost got wiped out.

Furthermore, those guys in the Biblical Pantheon are too proud to allow others to interfere. Everyone knows what their ulterior motives are. It's just a pity they messed up in the end, otherwise they might have actually succeeded.

If a living Herrscher could have their Falna Spirit Rank extracted... the gains would be immense. As for the risks? They'd have to investigate to find out.

Everyone returned to their respective hideouts to recuperate. No one knew when the next Herrscher would appear, so all they could do now was to heal their injuries as quickly as possible in order to prepare for the next Herrscher.

In the gap between the Upper Floors and Lower Floors, Xia Yu was quietly brought here by Li Yu. Upon arriving here, Xia Yu...

It began to secretly absorb the omnipresent Honkai energy in the Upper Floors.

As she slowly absorbed the Honkai energy from the Upper Floors, this power began to continuously strengthen the Spirit Rank within her body.

Li Yu has already given instructions that two days of absorption is sufficient, and he guarantees that no one will discover it within those two days. If it exceeds two days, the sound of Xia Yu absorbing energy will definitely not be hidden from others.

Li Yu simply tossed Xia Yu over and left her to her own devices. When she died, she would naturally be teleported back to the Lower Floors, so Li Yu wasn't worried about her safety at all.

"I hope Xia Yu- chan can cause trouble for those guys, and it would be best if she could take a few of them with her!" Shiroyasha looked at Xia Yu being sent away, his face filled with anticipation.

I wonder if any unlucky souls will be taken away by Xia Yu? The best outcome would be taking Typhon away; he was the one who put the most effort into beating her up before.

Hearing Shiroyasha's words, Li Yu said nonchalantly, "It's alright, it doesn't matter if we don't take them. If nothing unexpected happens, the Herrscher that arrive later will only get stronger and stronger."

Li Yu had never worried about these problems. If Xia Yu couldn't do it, there were others. If all else failed, there was always Li Yu. And if Li Yu couldn't do it, Pandora could even step in herself.

Who says it's over once you've passed the Finality? There's still the Origin, isn't there? There's no Lover King like Elysia in the Little Garden, so it's okay for the source of the Honkai to personally intervene.

"Hmph, what a pity, those annoying guys will have to be replaced from now on~!" Shiroyasha looked regretful, not knowing...

Whether it was genuine regret or feigned regret, Li Yu couldn't discern what was wrong with him.

As for what she said? Li Yu didn't care at all. It didn't matter how the people were replaced later. Those left in the Upper Floors the Little Garden were all unstable guys.

Li Yu wiped out all those who had initially clamored to abandon the Lower Floors and rebuild the Little Garden without even blinking an eye.

Li Yu told Pandora that once Xia Yu's side was finished, he would send Yukino and Asuna up there so they could take turns weakening those guys.

According to Li Yu's estimation, the people in the Upper Floors probably won't Finality; he just doesn't know which guy will ultimately fall at their hands.

The first three Herrscher alone severely weakened them. After Asuna and the others have gone through this, probably less than one in ten of the people in the Upper Floors will survive.

With that thought in mind, Li Yu turned to look at Shiroyasha and said, "I'm going back now. Are you going to stay in the Little Garden to play, or are you coming back with me?"

Faced with Li Yu's question, Shiroyasha did not hesitate to go back with Li Yu. After all, for her, there was nothing fun in the Little Garden now, and it was not as interesting as Li Yu's place!
