Don't... Hurt Her!
"Really..."
Sirin smiled gently, lightly removed Ling Xi's hand, got out of bed, took a deep breath, and then her face returned to its cold expression. It was time to... meet with the other person.
A minute later, Sirin flew to the rooftop of a building, and on the opposite side of the rooftop stood a man in an earth-colored suit, just standing there without saying a word.
"I didn't expect you to still find me."
Although the other party did not say a word, Sirin was, after all, Herrscher, and her intuition told her that the person in front of her was one of her kind, or rather... a human with the same power!
"So you already know? Did your companion tell you?"
The man spoke, looking at Sirin with a slight smile.
"This has nothing to do with him..."
Sirin's gaze shifted slightly as she said, "I have no interest in who you are. I can only tell you this: leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
If it were a week ago when Sirin faced the enemy, she would have charged straight in, since she had no worries about the rear. But...
Things are different now. I like my current life, so I don't want to disrupt this tranquility.
"Please rest assured, Miss Sirin, I have no hostility towards you."
Seeing that Sirin's attitude was similar to Einstein's prediction, the man relaxed a little, but he was still vigilant and said seriously, "I am the leader of Anti-Entropy, Welt Yang, and like you, I am Herrscher. I am not here to deal with you, but just to talk to you."
"..."
Sirin remained silent. Sure enough, the other party was also Herrscher. Although she felt that something was different, the aura on the other party was undoubtedly that of Herrscher.
"Let me be frank, I hope you can come back to Anti-Entropy with me."
Yang calmly said, "Of course, we are not here to deal with you, nor with the person beside you. We just want to help you. After all, you killed 322 researchers from Schicksal, and as Herrscher, Schicksal will definitely spare no effort to find you. You should know Schicksal's attitude towards you, just like the Valkyrie's attitude towards Schicksal Honkai!"
"That sounds nice, but..."
"Koukouwalu!"
Sirin, of course, wouldn't agree, because her home was right there, and besides...
She didn't trust humans at all. The people who took her to the lab back then said things that sounded much better than what Yang said. They said things like Schicksal would adopt them, that they wouldn't go hungry, and that they would definitely be happy in the future. But what happened?
What awaited his trust was endless experimentation!
Therefore, Sirin could not believe it, and would never agree to it.
"I know what hurt you've been through, but we're not the same."
Yang Yiran patiently said, "Look at me. Although I am Herrscher, I can still live peacefully with humans. So, please trust me, okay? As long as you come to Anti-Entropy, we guarantee that we will not restrict your freedom of movement or harm you. Moreover, once you come to Anti-Entropy, Schicksal will also be wary of Anti-Entropy's power and will not dare to act rashly against you. We can cooperate."
"I don't need it!"
Sirin remained indifferent. "Schicksal is nothing but a bunch of ants. If it weren't for Ling... cough, if I wanted to, I could wipe out Schicksal at any time. As for cooperation... do you even have the qualifications?"
Sirin's attitude was very clear: she simply didn't believe it and wouldn't accept it.
"It seems that only he can have a proper talk with you."
Yang snapped his fingers, and a holographic image appeared, showing Ling Xi's portrait. Yang then said, "Your power is indeed very strong, but... do you think you can protect her when surrounded by humans?"
"You..."
Sirin was suddenly angry, but she didn't know how to refute herself...
It is indeed very powerful, but Ling Xi is just an ordinary person. Unless I stay by Ling Xi's side, Ling Xi will definitely be captured by humans!
As for why he couldn't stay with Ling Xi all the time, well, it's obvious. For example, right now, in a battle of this level, bringing Ling Xi along would be like asking him to live too long.
"Perhaps we really can have a good talk."
Seeing that Sirin had actually calmed down, Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that even Herrscher had weaknesses. So he continued, "Of all your friends, only he is left, and we Anti-Entropy!"
"Not only can I provide you with absolute security, but I can also guarantee that your movements will not be restricted in any way within the territory of Anti-Entropy. Please trust me, and trust us humans this once!"
"Snort!"
Sirin still looked wary, but... she couldn't afford to lose any more family members!
"Alright, I can hear your terms."
After uttering such a harsh statement, the intense Honkai Energy within Sirin began to subside. During her time with Ling Xi, she had learned to be patient, to think things through, and... she didn't want to lose her current life.
Therefore, she planned to listen to the other party's opinion first, and then tell Ling Xi. If Ling Xi was satisfied, she would agree.
"Whoosh..."
Seeing Sirin's hostility dissipate, Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, he was also very nervous. Whether for personal reasons or because this was the city center, he didn't want to fight Sirin. Regardless of the outcome, the Capital City would definitely be lost...
Fortunately, at least I achieved my goal. As for the negotiations to come... that's a simple matter.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to actually do it..."
In the distance, a blond man wearing a clown mask stood on a rooftop, observing the negotiations. He noticed that both sides' auras were weakening; clearly, the negotiations had succeeded. But this wouldn't do...
Without fully awakened Herrscher, it's far from enough!
"Execution Plan, B!"
At his command, an Anti-Entropy warship suddenly appeared above Sirin and Yang, followed by dozens of tactical missiles raining down from the sky, all targeting Sirin...
"You... humans, you're all liars after all!"
Sirin hurriedly used her spatial powers to block the incoming missile, her eyes filled with hatred. It turned out that all of this was a deception!
"Wait, those aren't our people, they're framing us..."
Yang immediately realized the problem and hurriedly called out to Sirin to calm down. Damn it, everything was already settled, so who was it?
"Roll!"
Sirin flew straight into the sky, trying to distance herself from Yang, but the warships in the air continued to fire, all targeting Sirin. This made it impossible for Sirin to believe Welt's words; it was as ridiculous as pointing a gun at you while saying we love peace.
"Hateful..."
Yang was also filled with resentment. He had finally managed to persuade Sirin, but... why did this happen? Who was it?
Chapter 607: You mustn't... hurt her!
"Damn it, get out of here!"
Once in the air, Sirin aimed directly at the Subspace Spear formed from Honkai Energy, instantly shattering it. She then launched another attack, this time aimed at Yang below.
Of course, this attack had no effect on Yang. Yang dodged it and then hovered his body to prepare for aerial combat with Sirin.
"Hmph, I knew humans couldn't be trusted. Just disappear..."
Sirin raised her right hand, preparing to launch another attack, but at that moment, Sirin seemed to hesitate for a moment because... her home was very close by.
"Come with me if you dare!"
After saying that, Sirin turned around and flew away from the city, seemingly intending to keep the battlefield away from here.
"Heh... it seems you do have something to worry about..."
Yang seemed to White Sirin did this, and it also aligned with his own thoughts. After all, if he were to fight Sirin in the city, the city would be basically destroyed. Even if it wasn't directly destroyed, it would be subjected to powerful Honkai Energy radiation, making it uninhabitable for decades.
So Yang followed Sirin and flew away, preparing to move the battlefield outside the city. At the same time, Old Yang also decided to defeat Sirin first, and the battle between the two sides began immediately!
As for attack methods, Sirin doesn't actually have many. She can only distort space, release the Subspace Spear, and... use a spatial wormhole to return all of Yang's attacks.
Yang's attack method mainly involves using the power of the First Herrscher to mimic various technological weapons, such as airplanes, cannons, tanks, and missiles. Although these attacks cannot cause any substantial damage to Sirin, and may even backfire on Yang due to Sirin's power, however...
This was not my goal at all...
"Uh... what happened?"
The explosion had clearly woken Ling Xi up, and she then realized that there was no one in her arms.
Damn, where's my wife, Sirin? Where's the little angel I was just holding?
Ling Xi glanced at the slippers on the ground. Sirin hadn't worn shoes when she went out, which meant...
That girl flew out; she... used the power of Herrscher!
"Oh no..."
Immediately, Ling Xi thought of a possibility. She had told Sirin not to use Herrscher powers casually, and Sirin had been obedient. Moreover, there was no need to use this power recently, but...
Now that Sirin has used this power, doesn't that mean she feels threatened? And that threat...
Aside from Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, Ling Xi couldn't think of any other possibility.
Instantly, Ling Xi was wide awake. She decisively got up, put on her shoes, threw on a coat, and headed towards the battlefield. After all, the fiercer the fighting now, the more difficult it would be to achieve peaceful coexistence later.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sirin and Old Yang were engaged in a fierce battle. In terms of absolute strength, Old Yang might not be as good as Sirin, but with Old Yang pushing his body to the limit, Sirin couldn't gain any advantage either, and so...
Sirin gradually became manic and began to absorb more Honkai Energy, but correspondingly...
The more the Will of Honkai affected Sirin, the more Sirin recalled the hatred she once felt because of Ling Xi.
Having seen this, Old Yang basically understood that this Herrscher... had already been controlled by "God"...
"Atomic bomb, fire!"
While Yang was holding off Sirin, the god-slaying weapon deployed by Anti-Entropy finally arrived. At this point, Sirin had no time to move herself or the missile. In the end, Sirin used the earth as a shield and took the hit head-on!
"Damn it... despicable humans..."
When the smoke cleared, Sirin collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. Clearly, the attack had inflicted great damage on Sirin; after all... she wasn't a fully-fledged Herrscher yet, and was powerless against such an attack...
"Phew, sorry, Herrscher..."
Old Yang stood in front of Sirin, holding the [Imitation of the Star of Eden], and said, "To protect this world, I must kill you!"
Before this, Old Yang did indeed have the idea of peace talks, but now that he has the opportunity to eliminate the Second Herrscher, he will inevitably choose to eliminate her. He overexerted too much power for this battle, and he obviously won't be able to defeat Sirin again next time, so...
He can only eliminate this uncertainty!
"Star of Eden, Zeroth Quota Power!"
As he spoke, Old Yang raised his right hand and instantly created a huge simulated Black Hole, preparing to completely pulverize Sirin!
"Ugh..."
Fear finally appeared in Sirin's eyes. Why... are humans so powerful, Ling Xi...?
I really want to... stay with you forever. That cake... was the most delicious cake I've ever eaten...
"Thunder God!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, directly piercing through the simulated Black Hole created by Yang!
"Bang!"
Instantly, the simulated Black Hole collapsed, and Sirin fell into Black Hole.
"I'm sorry, Sirin..."
Ling Xi appeared just in time and caught the falling Sirin.
"Eh... Ling Xi?"
Seeing Ling Xi suddenly appear here, Sirin was also extremely surprised, and that lightning bolt just now was...
"You are... Ling Xi?"
Old Yang, who saw Ling Xi, was also extremely shocked. Wait, what's going on? The speed that Ling Xi just displayed is definitely not that of an ordinary person.
Also, the purple Katana in Ling Xi's hand, is that... the Divine Key?
"Whoosh..."
Ling Xi carefully placed Sirin on the ground, then turned to look at Old Yang and said, "I thought the leader of Anti-Entropy was genuinely interested in negotiating with my Sirin, but I didn't expect... Heh, when it comes to disappointing people, you guys never disappoint."
Ling Xi was actually a little annoyed. Couldn't the Anti-Entropy group come during the day?
If he had come during the day, she could have spoken with Old Yang on behalf of Sirin, but...
Sirin, a Herrscher inherently hates humanity, Old Yang, a professional negotiator who can't win any negotiations—it's no wonder these two end up fighting.
"I'm sorry, she has been completely bewitched by the Honkai. She is now... an apostle of the Honkai."
