Your Choice Is Sakura's Position! / Elysia Wants to Guess the Herrscher's Identity Too!

Elysia felt a little embarrassed. This time... was Ling Xi really angry?

Just as Elysia was pondering whether to try a different approach, Ling Xi suddenly laughed and said, "You're really good at judging people, so... Elysia, please continue!"

Elysia: "..." Are you really Herrscher?

Klein, "..." This is so sour! Did the Doctor eat pickled cabbage noodles in the lab? But I remember the Doctor doesn't seem to like pickled cabbage!

"Okay, okay, next one, next one."

Elysia stretched slightly and chuckled, "So, what are your plans for the future? After all, those annoying guys are gone now, Flame-Chasing Moths... no, I should say the whole world will most likely be managed by Mobius and Mei from now on."

"The next steps... we'll leave it to the Doctor."

Ling Xi just smiled and shook her head. She had already told Mobius about the future plot. Although she still didn't think the Previous Era could be saved, she decided to let Mobius worry about what to do in the future. She didn't care about the future of the Previous Era at all!

Right now, the only thing I care about is... has the Doctor started preparing the Hibernation Pod? After all, the Hibernation Pod was my original dream!

Although some things happened in the middle that temporarily changed my mind, now... I've returned to my original intention and am determined to get a Hibernation Pod spot!

Chapter 357: Your choice is Sakura's stance!

Not long after, Mobius returned with Seele, then sent Seele away and briefly explained the situation. With that, Seele's matter was brought to a relatively successful conclusion!

Of course, Seele still can't leave, because Mobius still needs Seele to participate in some of his tests and experiments, just in case!

So, Klein stayed behind to help Mobius, while Ling Xi and Elysia left the lab to take a stroll.

Then, Elysia pulled Ling Xi back to her room, saying she wanted to try and see if Ling Xi could enhance her Honkai Energy in her Herrscher form...

Ling Xi: "..." Do you want to try Happy Fire?

"Knock knock..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Sakura's voice, "Ling Xi, are you in there?"

Ling Xi speechless. "..." Was this... catching someone in the act? Uh... no, no, after all, everyone knows each other's identities!

"Sakura, I'm here, come in."

Upon hearing Ying's voice, Ling Xi let her in without hesitation.

Elysia: "..." What a pity...

"Um..."

With Ling Xi's permission, Ying pushed open the door and came in. Only then did Ling Xi realize that the girl hadn't locked the door...

Forget it, Ling Xi didn't care about that at the moment and looked directly at Ying. However... Ying looked a little serious at this moment. Although she usually looked serious, it was more natural than serious like this.

Of course, Ling Xi could roughly guess why Ying would act this way.

"Um, Sakura, I can explain about the Herrscher..."

Ling Xi didn't want her relationship with Elysia and the others to deteriorate, and of course, she felt the same way about Sakura. Moreover, although Sakura was usually quiet, she was always on her side, so Ling Xi didn't mind telling Sakura the truth now.

"Need not."

Sakura shook her head slightly and smiled, "I trust Ling Xi, and... no matter what you want to do, Ling Xi, I will obey your orders, so..."

Finally, Sakura glanced at Ling Xi and smiled, "If there's no need for explanations, then there's no need."

Ling Xi: "..." Elysia, look at them, this is true love!

"Thank you, Sakura."

Ling Xi couldn't help but hug Ying, then smiled and said, "However, you need to know this, because it relates to our future plans."

"Huh? Is that so? Well... I'll listen to it then."

Seeing that Ling Xi had already said so, Ying stopped refusing.

Moreover, although that's what she just said, if Ling Xi really didn't tell her, even though she wouldn't betray him, there would definitely still be some distance between them. But now...

Clearly, I was overthinking it.

So, Ling Xi spent some more time telling Sakura what had happened. Of course, Elysia occasionally added her own embellishments. Anyway, she had told Sakura the general plot, as well as about Seele's situation and Mobius's decision.

"Why..."

After listening to Ling Xi's explanation, Ying simply sighed silently and didn't say a word. Of course, she didn't blame Ling Xi for this, after all, she was Ling Xi's person, so when considering things, everything naturally had to be based on Ling Xi's perspective, but...

To be honest, the loss to humanity is still too great, even though it was their own choice.

Moreover, even without Ling Xi, there would be Ling Dong, Ling Bei, or someone else in the future, anyway...

If humanity had been more rational back then, if humanity hadn't harbored so much malice towards Seele, then perhaps... both the Sixth Herrscher and Seventh Herrscher would have become humanity's greatest asset.

Unfortunately, reality doesn't allow for "what ifs," and given the current situation, all we can say is... that's just fate.

"Sakura, do you think... I'm wrong?"

Seeing that Ying remained silent, Ling Xi naturally had no idea what she was thinking. Therefore, Ling Xi really wanted to ask her directly. If there was anything she wanted to say, it would be best to clarify it face-to-face; otherwise...

The barriers in our hearts will only grow deeper!

"No."

Sakura shook her head and said, "Wrong... I don't think anyone would think they're wrong, because everyone makes what they believe to be the most correct choice. So what others see as right or wrong is meaningless. As long as you think it's right, that's enough. Whether it's actually right or wrong..."

Sakura sighed softly and smiled helplessly, "That's no longer important, because humanity has already paid the price for this, the price for doing wrong. In short, Ling Xi's choice is my stance."

"Ah, I understand, Sakura."

Ling Xi was fairly satisfied with Sakura's answer. At least... he was now quite certain of Sakura's stance—the kind that would absolutely stand by his side regardless of right or wrong, although...

This seems to be somewhat different from Sakura in the story. After all, Sakura in the story is the greatest contributor to sealing away the Corrosion Herrscher. Even after learning that her sister was killed by humans, she was still willing to sacrifice herself to save Flame-Chasing Moths!

However, here, Sakura is willing to stand beside him, beside him Herrscher of Flame, so...

Did I unintentionally change Sakura's personality?

Well, although Sakura's personality has long been completely... cough cough, changed by herself. After all, the Sakura who was so aloof and gentle back then has become two different forms now: a cool and aloof older sister form during the day, and a succubus breaking free form at night. The originally well-behaved Kiana Flame-Chasing Moths has become like this, well...

I'm sorry, I'm guilty, I repent...

However, this may also be related to her current choices. After all, once she has fulfilled the performance requirements given by the Honkai God, she will no longer pose a threat to humanity, nor will she help humanity. So even if Sakura wants to protect humanity, it seems there is no need for her to oppose her!

What's more, she's now his wife!

Of course, if someone tries to cause trouble, I won't hesitate at all; I absolutely won't.

"Humans... are truly so insignificant..."

In a villa in the capital of the Mu Continent, a red-haired woman held a glass of red wine, gazing at the sky outside the window, looking somewhat lost in thought!

Although she had heard of the Herrscher's power before, this time it left the deepest impression on her.

The self-funded performance scheduled for three days in the Far East was also completely canceled this morning, after all...

The Far East is gone now.

It seems that the Fifth Herrscher gave humanity the illusion that they could defeat the Herrscher. However, this time, the Herrscher shattered humanity's illusion. Even if the Herrscher is weak, it is not something that humans can easily defeat!

It was at this moment that she suddenly realized that while singing could bring healing and a glimmer of hope to humanity, however...

Singing... in the end, it couldn't save humanity!

Chapter 358: Elysia also wants to guess about the Herrscher!

"Hmm, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been back!"

In the afternoon, Ling Xi drove back with Elysia and the others. As for why he didn't use spatial teleportation, that was, of course, because...

The Space Core was taken away by the Doctor again. Moreover, not only the Space Core, but now Mobius has all the cores except for the Herrscher of Reason. It seems that he is going to carry out some new plan. So the Space Core was taken back by Mobius. Even the Flame Herrscher Core that the Kiana gave him is with the Doctor.

"Me too."

In response to Elysia's words, Ling Xi nodded silently in agreement. She hadn't been home since the Sixth Herrscher incident, except for the one this morning.

"Yes..."

Sakura sighed and nodded vigorously. Ever since that incident, Sakura has been unable to return unless the Doctor comes back!

But now...

All threats have disappeared, and it's unlikely that any danger will arise around Mobius again. Besides, Mobius still carries Shesha's genes, and the abilities of Sasha Gene... those who know, know!

So, Sakura was also "fired" by Mobius, who told her to protect Seele and Rin properly from now on. Although Sakura felt it was unnecessary, since it was Ling Xi who was always with Seele.

"Alright, let's go home."

Ling Xi smiled and then led everyone back home!

However, it seems that because no one had cleaned for more than ten days, the furniture was covered in dust, and now it was time for Elysia and Seele to show off their skills.

"Gemini Stigmata..."

After returning to her room, Ling Xi took out the Gemini Stigmata left by Seele and checked its data!

[Twins: Available to Seele, a single-use item. After injection, it forms a twin natural Stigmata, covering any Stigmata implanted before or in the future. It possesses the basic ability of Stigmata Space and storage consciousness. More specific abilities are unknown...]

It's still just a regular Stigmata...

Looking at the information on the Gemini Stigmata in front of him, Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were just ordinary Stigmata!

However, the description of the Gemini Stigmata seems to have changed slightly. For example... previously, both the user and Seele could use the Gemini Stigmata, but now... only Seele can use it. Could it be...?

Is it because Seele used it before?

Forget it, why think so much? I can't possibly give my Gemini Stigmata to someone else anyway, so...

Ultimately, it will have to be given to Seele to use again!

"Knock knock!"

"Ling Xi, are you there?"

Just then, a knock sounded on the door, accompanied by Elysia's familiar voice.

"Please come in."

Ling Xi casually put away the Stigmata and looked towards the door, silently watching Elysia walk in.

"Hehe, sorry to bother you..."

Elysia chuckled, then went into the room, closing the door behind her. She said with a smile, "It's been so long, did you miss me?"

I think about it all the time.

Ling Xi smiled and then gestured for Elysia to come over.

"Hmph..."

Elysia also leaned closer with great pleasure, then sat down next to Ling Xi and said with a smile, "I want to ask a rather special question. I wonder if you would be interested in answering it?"

"A special problem?"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia with some doubt, but did not refuse. She nodded and smiled, "Then ask away. As long as it's a question Elysia wants to know, I will answer it to the best of my ability."

"Yeah?"

Elysia seemed very happy and said, "Then I'll ask, don't be angry."

"Don't worry, I won't get angry."

Ling Xi also put her hands on her hips, pretending to be righteous and indignant, "If I'm angry with you, then I'll be a little dog, okay?"

"Hey, puppy..."

Elysia suddenly remembered something and laughed, "I remember, someone said something similar before, but in the end, they were all lying on the ground barking like a dog, crying and making a scene!"

Ling Xi: "..." Are you deliberately picking a fight?

"Hehe, okay, okay, that's enough joking around."

Elysia's smile faded, and she suddenly asked seriously, "If one day, another Herrscher appears among the people around you, and... this time, the outcome cannot be changed like Seele's, then... what choice would you make?"

Ling Xi: "???"

Elysia's question left Ling Xi completely bewildered. What did this girl mean?
