White Sirin and Black Sirin! / There Is a God in the Honkai, and We... Have a God Too!
Cecilia nodded slightly and then jumped off the warship. Although it was thousands of meters above the ground, it was a minor issue for Valkyrie, especially S-rank Valkyrie like Cecilia.
While the Wolfpack Squad's mission this time still involves rescuing people, their main objective is to travel to the core area of Honkai, investigate the cause of the Honkai, and... find the final enemy.
Because everyone understands that while the Honkai Beast are numerous, they are merely cannon fodder in Schicksal's eyes and can be easily eliminated. The real trouble...
Or it's the enemy's top combat power; that's the kind of enemy that can threaten the survival of humanity!
Meanwhile, in Otto's office and Ling Xi's villa, the screens were switched to Cecilia's first-person perspective through the tactical goggles. Although the signal transmission was becoming unstable due to Honkai Energy radiation, it was still usable!
Chapter 637 White Sirin and Black Sirin!
After Cecilia arrived at the battlefield, she ran straight to the area with the highest Honkai Energy. Although she encountered Honkai Beast along the way, they were nothing more than cannon fodder for S-rank Valkyrie!
Soon, Cecilia arrived at her destination, and on a high-rise building there, a purple figure stood with his back to Cecilia, his body wrapped in purple ribbons!
At headquarters, Ling Xi naturally saw the figure through Cecilia's tactical goggles. Immediately, Ling Xi had a bad feeling, because...
This is so similar.
"They've finally arrived, Valkyrie of Schicksal!"
Before Cecilia could speak, the purple figure turned around and looked at her with a cold smile.
"What, this..."
Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Cecilia seemed somewhat surprised, wondering why...
"This... how could this be... impossible, this is impossible!"
Meanwhile, at headquarters, Otto, Ling Xi, and everyone including Sirin saw each other's faces clearly. This seemed to be... no!
This isn't just a resemblance, this... is completely Sirin!
"I never expected that there would actually be someone exactly like Sirin."
Ein was also somewhat surprised. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still surprised when she actually saw it because... this seemed to be beyond common sense. Sirin was right next to her, so why would Sirin appear in Southeast Asia?
"Damn it, they impersonated me and made me take the blame..."
Sirin, on the other hand, seemed somewhat angry. No wonder so many people thought she was the one who did the bad things last night; it turned out... someone really was impersonating her.
"Are you... Sirin?"
Cecilia took a deep breath and looked at the other person seriously. Judging from the aura, the other person was almost exactly the same as Sirin, whom she had encountered before, except... much stronger.
"Oh, of course."
The Second Herrscher sneered and said, "I am Sirin, Sirin is me. However... I am now the true Second Herrscher. As for that traitor, I will deal with her sooner or later."
"Sirin ..."
Cecilia didn't know where to begin.
"Hmph, stop with your act."
However, the Second Herrscher still launched an attack directly, and the power of multiple powers swept towards Cecilia, causing the surrounding Honkai Energy to surge...
"Sizzle..."
As a result, the signal was interrupted due to the excessive Honkai Energy...
But on the battlefield, Cecilia has already begun fighting the Second Herrscher!
At this moment, the Second Herrscher is clearly more powerful than the Second Herrscher in the original work, because although she is Sirin, she is a more pure Herrscher, or rather, a more pure evil. Therefore, her control over Herrscher Authority has far exceeded that of the pufferfish in the original work!
As a result, Cecilia was suppressed. Even as S-rank Valkyrie, she was still powerless against a quadruple Herrscher.
Afterwards, Theresa, Siegfried, and the Anti -Anti-Entropy forces arrived one after another, but even with their combined strength, they couldn't gain the upper hand against the powerful Second Herrscher. Within fifteen minutes, they were locked in a fierce battle. Theresa was severely injured, and Cecilia, protecting her teammates, was also badly wounded. And...
What's even more frustrating is that Sirin used the power of the Herrscher of Death to completely neutralize the Black Abyss White Flower's abilities, causing Cecilia to no longer be able to use the Black Abyss White Flower's healing effects!
At the crucial moment, Shigure Kira used the Stigmata Gene given to Ling Xi by Ling Xi. In her fully upgraded four-star Stigmata state, Shigure Kira's strength barely reached S-rank. Although she was still no match for the Second Herrscher, however...
However, it delayed the process long enough that, in the end...
"Bang!"
"Enough!"
With a flash of fire, the Second Herrscher's attack was successfully neutralized, and Sirin stood on the head of the real-life Bebedragon, looking at herself opposite.
"You've finally arrived?"
Upon seeing Sirin finally appear, the Second Herrscher ceased her attacks on Cecilia and the others. After all, for her, as long as she could retrieve the other half of her consciousness and the Flame Herrscher Core, then...
This world can be destroyed with a wave of the hand!
"Hmph, who exactly are you, and why did you transform into my appearance?"
Sirin looked at the other person coldly; she didn't believe that the other person was herself.
"Hehe, I've already told you, I am you."
The Second Herrscher merely sneered at Sirin and said, "To be precise, I'm the half you abandoned. It was clearly under my influence that we gained power, but... heh, you're so high and mighty. Once we were bound together, you just threw me away. But I understand, after all..."
The Second Herrscher chuckled self-deprecatingly, "For someone like you who wants to survive in the human world, I'm just a burden, aren't I?"
"What do you mean?"
Faced with the Second Herrscher's mockery, Sirin felt a strange sense of resonance, because... she felt that the other party really was herself.
"Hehe, what do you mean? What I mean is..."
The Second Herrscher smiled slightly. "You are kind and pure, while I... am dark and evil. After all... wasn't I the one you abandoned? You... traitor!"
As she spoke, the Second Herrscher launched an attack, sending a bolt of lightning hurtling towards Sirin.
"I don't care who you are, anyway..."
Sirin also unleashed the power of her Flame Herrscher Core, shouting, "Disappear!"
Thus began the battle between the two Sirin, and although Ling Xi wanted to intervene, she discovered that the two of them...
That's incredible!
Although Sirin only has a single core, the Flame Herrscher Core is, after all, the core with the strongest direct destructive power. Therefore, even when facing the Second Herrscher with four cores, she is not at a disadvantage. And the Second Herrscher...
Ling Xi didn't know if this Second Herrscher was too strong, or if she had misjudged it from the start, but she felt...
The Second Herrscher's strength has far surpassed that of the pufferfish in the manga.
Moreover, before he and Sirin arrived, the Second Herrscher had already defeated Schicksal's strongest fighter, and most importantly...
This time, Cecilia and the others didn't go one by one to be delivered; they all came together, along with Shigure Kira, who already possessed near- S-rank Valkyrie strength. But in the end, they were still no match for the Second Herrscher. In short...
Ling Xi felt that this Second Herrscher's strength had already surpassed her own in her normal state!
But why is the opponent so powerful? And... what exactly is going on? Sirin... why have there been two of them?
Just as Ling Xi was pondering how to resolve this matter, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her mind...
Dressed in a nun's habit, with a white veil on her head, and possessing exceptionally powerful frontal armor, this is...
"Long time no see, Ling Xi..."
The other person opened their eyes and stared at Ling Xi expressionlessly...
Ling Xi "..."
Aponia?
Chapter 638 The Honkai Has Gods, and We... Too Have Gods!
"You are... Aponia?"
Looking at the figure in front of her, Ling Xi was naturally very familiar with her. Although she and the figure were not particularly close, she had still received the God-level supply card reward from Aponia.
"What, Ling Xi, it's been so long, don't you even recognize me?"
Aponia had a slight smile on her lips, but she didn't seem surprised by Ling Xi's reaction.
"Of course not, it's just..."
Ling Xi tentatively asked, "How did you end up in my mind? Have you woken up?"
Ling Xi remembered one of Aponia's abilities: the ability to directly interfere with reality through the Elysian Realm. In other words, if Aponia awakened, she could contact him directly from the base, after all...
She also instilled precepts within herself.
"No, there shouldn't be."
Aponia gently shook her head and said, "I am just a commandment I planted on you back then. I will awaken at the set time. I... am just a consciousness."
"Forehead..."
Ling Xi was only stunned for a moment, but he did not doubt it. After all, although the Riddler's wife was not strong in direct combat, her mental abilities were indeed particularly strong. Otherwise, she would not have been ranked third among the Flame-Chasing Moths.
"So... now that you've woken up, is there something important you want to tell me?"
Ling Xi quickly realized that since Aponia said her commandment would awaken at a set time, then... why was she awakening now?
"Ling Xi ..."
Aponia calmly said, "I once told you that small things can be changed, but big things cannot be reversed. In our time, because of your existence, everyone's fate was changed. But in this era, you are no longer an existence beyond fate, but a member of fate just like us. Therefore..."
"In the future I envision, you cannot change the overall trend. If you forcibly alter it, it will trigger the tree's correction mechanism, forcibly rewriting history, and..."
Aponia continued, "You should have already realized that the new enemy is more powerful than the original one. If you continue to interfere, then... the enemy will become even stronger until you can no longer interfere."
"What the hell? You... can actually see that far? And... what the hell is this historical revisionism?"
Hearing Aponia's words, Ling Xi was somewhat stunned. She hadn't expected that this Riddler had foreseen their current fate back in the Previous Era. But... wait a minute, didn't she say she couldn't see her own destiny? This...
And what about historical revisionism?
What the hell is this? Are they forcibly bringing history back into the main storyline?
"Ling Xi".
But Aponia didn't seem inclined to explain, simply stating, "If you continue to forcibly alter the course of events, then history will continue to be revised!"
"So you mean, Sirin, Cecilia, they will all disappear in the Second Honkai War, just like in the original history?"
At this moment, Ling Xi was already somewhat on the verge of collapse. Could it be that... all her efforts were ultimately in vain?
He had finally managed to bring Sirin to his side, and he had finally managed to reunite his mother-in-law's family, but then...
If it will still be corrected in the end, then what's the point of all my efforts?
"That's one way to put it, but not entirely..."
Aponia nodded slightly, then continued, "As I said, the general trend is irreversible, but the minor trends can be changed. The Second Honkai War is bound to happen. This is the general trend, and it is also the rule set by the Tree. The Tree sets the rules for testing civilizations, and civilizations can only move forward under the rules."
"As for Sirin..."
Aponia continued, "The Sirin beside you is no longer the Sirin from the story, so... if you want her to stay, then just take her away from the battlefield, because the place where the Honkai can be filled by Sirin's other half, that is... Dark Sirin!"
"So, you mean..."
Ling Xi said seriously, "If Dark Sirin disappears, then Sirin will not disappear?"
Ling Xi seemed to understand Aponia's meaning: the Second Honkai War was inevitable, and Sirin had to die, but...
There's more than one Sirin now, so... as long as Dark Sirin is eliminated, White Sirin beside me won't disappear.
"Yes."
Aponia nodded again. "The Honkai to test civilizations, just like the two sides of Yin and Yang. When Honkai grow stronger, the tree makes the Honkai grow stronger, and when the Honkai stronger, the tree makes civilization grow stronger. This is the balance. Therefore... if you interfere with the general trend again, the Honkai will continue to grow stronger."
"So, in the end, we still have to force a return to the main storyline, right?"
Ling Xi frowned. It seemed that Aponia wanted to bring the story back to the main plot and follow the storyline from the game.
"You could say that..."
Aponia didn't deny it either, "Do you know why Mobius set the awakening time to after the main storyline begins?"
"Um?"
Ling Xi looked at Aponia with some confusion. Could it be that... the awakening time set by the Doctor is also related to Aponia?
"As you expected."
Aponia nodded slightly and said, "After you left, the future became incredibly clear to me. So I saw the future. If Mobius and the others had woken up earlier, they would have constantly clashed with the main storyline, ultimately leading to the Honkai of this civilization. Within ten years, it would have reached the level of our time, so..."
