The Final Battle!

Then, she noticed that Salome and the others were gathered around Shigure Kira, talking about something, and Shigure Kira, as the protagonist, was holding a purple Katana. This was...

Based on the conversation these people just had, and considering that Cheng Lixue had also received information about the Seven Thunders of Retribution, therefore...

"The Divine Key, the Seven Thunders of Retribution?"

Cheng Lixue immediately recognized the weapon in Shigure Kira's hand; this... was definitely the Divine Key, but...

That's not right. According to the intelligence, both the Seven Thunders of Retribution and the Star of Eden are in Ling Xi's hands. How could Shigure Kira have the Seven Thunders of Retribution?

"Hehe, that's right, it's the Divine Key!"

Holding the Seven Thunders of Retribution in her hand, Shigure Kira appeared very comfortable and said, "Like the Captain's Black Abyss White Flower, it is also a member of the Divine Key!"

"Qiluo, isn't the Seven Thunders of Retribution in Ling Xi's hands? What... what's going on?"

Not only the others, Cecilia was also somewhat surprised. If she didn't know Shigure Kira's character, she might have suspected that this girl had tricked Ling Xi into giving her away.

"That's right."

At this moment, even the usually composed Cheng Lixue couldn't help but ask, "I remember the information said that Ling Xi has two Divine Key, the Seven Thunders of Retribution and the Star of Eden. Could the information be false?"

"Hmph, of course it's true, but..."

Shigure Kira said with a smile, "This was given to me by Ling Xi. After all, Ling Xi and I are such good friends, it's quite reasonable for him to give me the Divine Key."

Everyone was speechless. What kind of logic is that...?

"Just kidding."

Shigure Kira quickly explained, "Actually, Ling Xi just lent it to me for a while. After all, who would give something like this as a gift? Besides, even if Ling Xi gave it to me, I wouldn't dare accept it. The Divine Key is something I couldn't repay even if I sold myself."

"I think you can give yourself back to him."

Shub suddenly laughed and said, "After all, our Qiluo was an idol back then, wasn't she? Besides... if you give yourself to him, then... even if the Divine Key is something he temporarily lent you, he wouldn't feel comfortable taking it back, would he?"

"Shub, be careful."

Salome said irritably, "Don't forget that Ling Xi is still a minor. Do you want Qiluo to end up in jail?"

"Hehe, it's okay, this kind of combination is quite popular now, besides..."

Shub turned to look at Shigure Kira, "I was just joking, Qiluo, don't take it seriously!"

"Ugh..."

However, everyone noticed that Shigure Kira seemed to be seriously considering this question...

Everyone was speechless. Holy crap, do you really want to end up in jail?!

Cecilia speechless. Her daughter, Ling Xi, was ten years younger, while Qiluo was at least ten years older Ling Xi, so...

Um, speaking of which, can I take back what I said to Ling Xi last time?

"Oh, right, Cheng Lixue."

At this moment, Patrick suddenly laughed and said, "I remember your master and Ling Xi had a pretty good relationship, right? Didn't Ling Xi give you anything?"

Cheng Lixue "..."

Cheng Lixue didn't want to talk to these people at that moment...

Deliver?

That guy even asked me to keep something safe before. And even if he wanted me to keep it safe, he should at least have come in person. Instead, he had his master hand it over to me. That's just too much!

Moreover, although Cheng Lixue wasn't the type to be competitive, but...

The thought that Ling Xi and her master had such a good relationship, yet Ling Xi lent the Divine Key to Shigure Kira, whom she had only known for less than a day, instead of lending it to her, made her feel a little jealous. Moreover, her master hadn't spent much time with her because of Ling Xi!

Damn it, I'll make this guy pay next time we meet. What kind of thing is this? I want to smash it!

Of course, this was just said in anger. However, let's first check what Ling Xi entrusted to us for safekeeping, so we don't end up breaking it.

So, Cheng Lixue opened the box, ready to see what was inside, and then...

"Huh?"

The moment the box was opened, Cheng Lixue froze. This...

"Holy crap, Star of Eden?"

Before Cheng Lixue could speak, Patrick exclaimed in surprise, "Star of Eden... Of course she was familiar with it, after all, her alliance leader's weapon was mainly a replica of the Star of Eden, but..."

"And... this is genuine?!"

Patrick recognized at a glance that this Star of Eden was not a replica, but... the real Divine Key!

"What? The Star of Eden?"

"Let me see!"

Immediately, the others also gathered around, including Shigure Kira.

"Really? This really is the Star of Eden!"

"As expected, Cheng Lixue is also connected!"

"So envious..."

"No, please don't misunderstand, this... this was also lent to me by Ling Xi!"

Cheng Lixue quickly explained, and at the same time, the slight dissatisfaction she had felt towards Ling Xi dissipated. She never expected that Ling Xi would do this to her!

Next time we meet... um... how awkward!

Even if it's borrowed, I'm still envious!

"Lixue, Lixue, may I touch it?"

"Don't touch me! Star of Eden is dangerous!"

Everyone was very excited, after all... two Divine Key.

Shigure Kira looked at the Divine Key in Cheng Lixue's box, then at the world in her own hand, and suddenly felt... well, the Divine Key smells pretty good, but there's a certain...

It's not so much that I'm upset or jealous, it's just that... I have this feeling that "I'm not your only one anymore." Before, Ling Xi used the fact that I was the Divine Key made me feel like I was the only one, but I never expected...

Surprisingly, Cheng Lixue was also involved. But that makes sense, considering that Cheng Lixue's master Fu Hua, and Ling Xi have such a good relationship!

No, I have to find a way to make the Divine Key Ling Xi lent me truly my own. As for the method... well, I can't just borrow it and not return it, so...

There's only one way: make the Divine Key his and Ling Xi's joint property, joint property...

And so, with Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue each possessing their own Divine Key, the six-member Wolfpack Squad now boasts a lineup of three Divine Key. Adding to this Cecilia's husband Siegfried's Skyfire Judgement and Theresa's Judah, now...

With five Divine Key, this lineup wouldn't be afraid even against the Second Herrscher!

Chapter 643 The Final Battle!

"Haaah, it's already dawn..."

At the Capital Airport, Ling Xi yawned as she looked around. It was already daylight, even though only two hours had passed since the Second Herrscher appeared and disappeared...

However, there is a time difference of about five or six hours Schicksal Headquarters and Shenzhou, so it was already dawn in Shenzhou at this time.

"Let's go home then..."

Sirin was also yawning a bit. After all, she had been fighting for so long and all that had happened had messed up her biological clock.

"How about we get something to eat first?"

Fu Hua then suggested, "Eat something to replenish your energy, and then go home to rest properly. Otherwise, your stomach might feel uncomfortable when you wake up."

"Eat something, okay, okay!"

When the topic of food came up, Bebedragon, who had been looking rather listless, immediately nodded in agreement.

Where is Sirin?

Ling Xi glanced at Sirin, and if the girl had no objections, then they would go.

"Okay!"

Sirin had no objection to this, of course. After eating and drinking her fill, she went home to sleep!

"Let's go then, let's go get... um, a late-night snack?"

"It should be breakfast, right?"

"Don't worry about the details..."

While Ling Xi and the others went home to rest, the Wolfpack Squad also took a break, since the Second Herrscher could reappear at any time, so they had to be in good spirits!

As for the Divine Key in the hands of Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue, Otto was somewhat surprised upon learning of them, but he had no interest in the two Divine Key. They weren't the power he needed, and besides...

If I had any ideas, wouldn't that offend Ling Xi?

After all, while Otto wouldn't say he was afraid of Ling Xi, he certainly felt a certain degree of dread, given that Ling Xi was a man who had slain a god in Previous Era...

Since Ling Xi dared to lend the Divine Key to the two of them so casually, it means that Ling Xi was fully confident that she could take it back at any time.

Therefore, Otto ultimately had no real interest in the Divine Key, but he did develop some other thoughts...

Why did Ling Xi lend the Divine Key to Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue? Cheng Lixue herself might understand, after all, she is Fu Hua's apprentice, and Ling Xi and Fu Hua were obviously comrades-in-arms in the Previous Era, so it's not surprising that Ling Xi lent it to Cheng Lixue, but Shigure Kira...

Could it be that that guy has something in mind? Damn it, you're tens of thousands of years old, and you actually have designs on me, a young girl from Schicksal's Youth, who is also Valkyrie!

Otto immediately put in his effort, after Shigure Kira was A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal A-rank that he had nurtured, Valkyrie he valued highly, and he had long wanted to train her, so...

You have to pay more!

Of course, Otto was just thinking about it. As long as Ling Xi could help him achieve his goal, that was enough. Then...

Forget about Shigure Kira, I could send the entire Wolfpack Squad over without any problem, well... of course, Cecilia might have a tiny bit of a problem!

After the Wolfpack Squad returned to the Schicksal Headquarters and rested briefly, Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue, with the assistance of Otto and Ein, began to familiarize themselves with the Divine Key. Because the power of the Divine Key is extremely Divine Key!

So...

Basically, only S-rank Valkyrie or those with strength close to S-rank Valkyrie can use it; otherwise, the backlash from the Divine Key would be too great for ordinary people.

The most typical example should be Skyfire Self-Destruction. Apart from Ancestor Kevin, only the father-in-law can use it a few more times. For everyone else, Skyfire Self-Destruction is a limited skill that can only be used once in a lifetime!

Fortunately, Ling Xi had trained the personalities of the Seven Thunders of Retribution and the Star of Eden quite well, so although there would be a backlash, Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue's strength was enough to suppress it!

This is why Ling Xi only lent the Divine Key to these two people. In the original Wolfpack Squad, apart from Cecilia, only Cheng Lixue could barely suppress the side effects of the Divine Key. After Shigure Kira received the Stigmata Gene from Ling Xi, her strength had reached or even surpassed that of Cheng Lixue.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why Ling Xi gave the Divine Key to these two!

Of course, the most important reason is that he is more familiar with these two people. Giving it to Cheng Lixue is naturally because of their familiarity, while giving it to Shigure Kira is because Ling Xi does not want Shigure Kira to die in the Second Honkai War.

Two days later, the Second Herrscher reappeared, this time also in Siberia.

During this time Cecilia also tried to communicate with the Second Herrscher, after all, in her eyes, this was also Sirin, but unfortunately...

At this point, the Second Herrscher only possessed Sirin's hatred and the darkness in her heart, so Cecilia ultimately failed!

Then the climax of the Second Honkai War began. Under the suppression of the Divine Key of Cecilia, Siegfried, Theresa, Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue, the Second Herrscher was severely damaged!

As a result, the Second Herrscher received divine guidance and directly activated her cheat code, causing her to unleash the power of her Herrscher Core beyond her normal limits. Not only did she recover her own condition, but she also severely injured the five people in a counterattack!

After the initial siege, the Second Herrscher unleashed her strongest attack directly at Cheng Lixue, and instantly...

Cheng Lixue... died...

Yeah, right!

The Immortal appeared just in time to save Cheng Lixue and then joined the battle!

Don't ask, the only reason is that I'm worried about my apprentice!

Moreover, this was actually Ling Xi's way of hinting to Immortal to come and help, since in the original work, Immortal was definitely one of the three main DPS characters who were able to defeat the Second Herrscher!

However, even the Immortal were no match for the Second Herrscher at this time, because the Second Herrscher had developed her Herrscher Core to a higher level, and with the various powers of the four Herrscher Core, even the six people with the six Divine Key could not gain the upper hand against the Second Herrscher!

Finally, Siegfried used the Hypervariable Factor he obtained from Ein, and in his beast form, successfully activated the maximum power of the Skyfire Judgement, which is the form of Heavenly Fire: Extinguisher, and unleashed his strongest attack on Sirin!

This attack reduced everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers to ashes. Cecilia, relying on the power of the Black Abyss White Flower and the power of Cheng Lixue 'Star of Eden, struggled to withstand the flames of the Skyfire Judgement!

This attack nearly wiped out the Wolfpack Squad, and its power even caused earthquakes of varying degrees throughout Europe and the Eurasian continent. From satellite imagery, it appeared as a fireball with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, and the shockwave spread tens of thousands of kilometers along Siberia...

As the smoke cleared, Cecilia, Fu Hua, Cheng Lixue, Shigure Kira, and Theresa, though seriously injured, were still alive and heading towards the epicenter of the explosion...

Only the Second Herrscher's body and four cores remained, as well as... the Skyfire Judgement lying on the ground!
