Chapter 75
Even if it were Kalpas, there would be no way to stop it now. Facts speak louder than words; the siblings have indeed caused destruction.
[Fire Moth Squadron! Move out!]
Bang!
With a muffled thud, An Yu slowly retracted the rolling pin, watched the soldiers break down the door, and then slowly collapsed.
He was incredibly strong, but not as Kalpas as a pure monster like Qian Jie.
"Sister Anna?" He turned around, his voice softening.
Anna trembled until An Yu gently reached out her hand, which helped her recover from the ordeal.
"Xiaoyu..."
Her voice sounded frightened, An Yu gently hugged her, comforting her, "It's alright."
"If you're still scared, then call my name."
"I will definitely answer you then, I'll be there."
Herrscher: An Yu
Level: 3
Skills: Twin Familiars, Echo), Extreme Cold 3
Family members: Anna
The experience points required for the first three levels were so few that he could pick up people who couldn't survive the Honkai Disease while doing odd jobs during the day.
So this is the big-world version of Plague Inc....
Perhaps things will get better, after all, An Yu has always been by her side. Anna kept murmuring An Yu's name, and An Yu would always gently nuzzle her cheek and say: I'm here.
However, the soldiers of the Fire Moth are never just one person.
Bang!
This time, it wasn't the sound of a rolling pin hitting someone's back; bullets were whizzing by, moving at a speed that should have been too fast for ordinary people to react to, yet Anna could see them clearly.
"Why..."
There will always be someone who comes to ruin this beauty.
An indescribable chill erupted from her center! Ice crystals grew wildly.
The Extreme Cold sealed off the stairwell, even time itself. Only after a moment did time resume its flow, the bullets were stopped, and this street, even half the city, was completely transformed into a kingdom of ice and snow.
When Anna regained her senses from that out-of-control force, all she saw outside the window was a deathly silent, pure white world, and her own hands trembling uncontrollably.
An Yu stood there stunned for a long time, then picked up the rolling pin again and smashed the ice sculpture in front of her.
"At this moment, I should say: Sister Anna!"
In Anna's panicked gaze, An Yu spoke slowly, as if taking away Anna's last remaining possessions.
"You don't want others to know you can use magic, do you?"
His tone softened, and he seemed unfazed by the matter.
"An Yu..."
Anna stared blankly, her nose tingling with tears. How come she hadn't realized how wonderful her younger brother was before?
"I am here."
Thump!
Until Anna tackled her to the ground, the Extreme Cold should have been unbearable for a normal person, but An Yu's first reaction was to feign pain and make exaggerated groans as she was thrown to the ground.
Fortunately, Anna didn't notice this at all.
This must be it. It must be that I sacrificed so much in the first half of my life to make my parents happy, in exchange for this unique treasure that belongs to me.
All her thoughts came to a standstill once again as a cluster of dazzling crystal flowers appeared.
"Gentlemen, there's no time for you to pour out your hearts to each other now."
Elysia was too late to notice the siblings' subtle postures, because of her negligence, half the city was completely frozen.
But the Herrscher is not An Yu.
What a joke! All her previous experience was completely wasted. This made Elysia unable to control her emotions at all, and she was extremely flustered for a moment, as cold as the ice crystals.
Volume 1: Chapter 110-109 The Challengers' Roles Have Swapped
In the peaceful city, Honkai Beast gradually emerged, gaining experience. An Yu stood beside Anna while expressionlessly choosing to upgrade Ice Frost.
Although this feeling is currently feigned, he will imitate it very well, and it won't change during this period.
Since the previously vague world has become completely real, this existence, which is almost like a new civilization, has become extremely valuable to An Yu.
"Don't believe her, Anna."
An Yu looked outside as if sensing something; the ice crystals were dazzling, refracting light like prisms.
Anna calmed down; this wasn't the time for sentimentality. She was now the villain who was destroying the world.
[But how could we possibly win?]
[The Ice Herrscher looks alright, but it's really not worth delving into... However, compared to the variant Flame Herrscher of the Void Realm portal to dissipate heat (i. e., the Flamescion), the Herrscher of Ice Herrscher at least doesn't need to heat herself up to prevent herself from freezing while casting skills.]
[There was no actual combat involved. How could a newborn baby, who could barely speak, possibly hold his own against three top-tier warriors?]
Elysia was in a state of turmoil. An Yu's mediocrity left her momentarily confused, but her past wariness led her to make a decision: to take him away.
[Kalpas stopped it.]
The village deity of Nakamura Village has always been kind to those children from back then.
Q But Kalpas didn't say anything, he just watched quietly as An Yu leaned against the wall and slowly stood up.
What are you up to?
What N's eyes seemed to hold was anger, a gathering of strength—was it for revenge?
Or should we launch a fearless but suicidal charge?
"My lord, may I ask what organization you belong to?"
An Yu leaned against the side, the cold, solid ice making his skin turn white, and his wounds quickly congealed.
After a long silence, Kalpas hadn't expected that the once mediocre boy would gradually transform over the years.
"Fire Moth."
He spoke in a sullen voice.
"Kalpas!"
Elysia was starting to lose her temper. "You really don't treat me like a human being, do you?!"
She emphasized, "He killed someone, Kalpas!!!"
An Yu has to go back with her, and An Yu, Elysia is worried about letting him wander outside with his face.
Kalpas looked at Elysia and explained, "That person was initially just unconscious."
An Yu was quite strong; he barely reacted even under such a massive Honkai. He was also a genius, but the rolling pin only knocked the other person unconscious.
"Elysia, you've seemed very flustered lately, why?"
Kalpas blocked Elysia, and this time, he still stood before the group of children from the past.
Elysia clutched her head, oh my god, Kalpas! Kalpas!!!
Can you please be rational?
Let's stop here.
Kevin suddenly spoke up; he wasn't going to start any infighting here.
"The newly minted Herrscher is too weak; the two of you are more than enough to take him back to the Fire Moth."
He couldn't see through the second mask, but Kevin could sense that Kalpas disagreed with the proposal.
"I promise I won't do it." Kevin's expression was serious. "Besides, as the owner of the Key of the Void, if I want to do it later, you Kalpas n't be able to stop me."
The matter is temporarily resolved.
[The difference in combat power was simply too great. An Yu sat there for a long time afterward. Kevin didn't follow her the whole time; he also sat at a distance, contemplating the changes.]
[An Yu, however, wasn't as efficient as Kevin had imagined. He even wandered aimlessly for most of the day in this city, which had just been cleared of Honkai Beast from the ice.]
[Please select upgrade direction *7]
[Adding to the previous level 4, that makes it level 11. The total experience required is 240,000, not much. For a prosperous metropolis, An Yu has missed a significant amount. However, leveling up again would waste too much time; he needs to use his limited time to sort out the situation in this world.]
[Finally, he arrived at the internet cafe.]
This time, An Yu wasn't as cautious with any of her searches as before.
[The boy is indeed a genius. Vill-V had originally intended to strengthen the firewall, but after hearing about this incident, the capricious Great Magician simply continued to observe An Yu's plans.]
[The boy was rapidly absorbing all the basic information about this world, as well as some data that others had entrusted to him.]
[Mu Continent 9, Chasing Fire, Moon Atla Ruins, Honkai Impact 3, Herrscher of the Herrscher, Goddess Elysia 3, Saint Seiya: The Warrior of the Sacred Stones, 5 terminals that exist only in legends but have never appeared, and the Divine Key.]
His search bar finally stopped at: Is the Herrscher still the same person as before?
The answer is simple: yes, but the emotions involved will be more extreme.
[This appears to be a conclusion drawn from Mobius's research.]
Far away on the Fire Moth, Vill-V cheered softly, "There are so many geniuses in this world."
"Let's guess what this child is going to do next?"
Because of Elysia's invitation, Vill-V was not at all satisfied with her past flamboyance. In her mind, she should have conquered the Fire Moth with her own abilities, or been conquered and joined as a prisoner.
No one responded, but Vill-V had begun to look forward to it.
"What are you doing, Vill-V?"
Einstein, also from the Engineering Department, squinted, not understanding what Vill-V was up to.
Vill-V tilted her head slightly. "Don't you think it's interesting?"
"The organization that secretly controls all of humanity is about to welcome its first... challenger."
Vill-V checked Elysia's schedule and thought that this new Herrscher seemed even weaker than the Four Herrschers.
It is because humanity is thriving under the influence of Mind Control Device.
So much so that even Herrscher have developed their first emotions?
"What's there to look forward to in this kind of scene?"
Einstein didn't understand; she only stopped the intrusion after An Yu ceased the investigation.
At least in this incident, the boy didn't seem to have done anything wrong and appeared completely innocent.
"I don't like the current atmosphere. Although everything is thriving, this kind of cut-off gentleness feels too fake."
Vill-V continued speaking dangerously to herself, but after a moment she took off her hat and casually smiled, "Of course, the Honkai are the enemy, but until we defeat the Honkai, we are all allies."
She disliked this life of being guided by others— Elysia, Kevin, and Aponia —who seemed to have masterfully controlled the development of humanity.
[The situation gradually calmed down until Anna appeared at the Fire Moth, and the real surprise occurred.] Zero
She doesn't have Herrscher Core.
[The Herrscher is not her.] Three
[Things have completely spiraled out of control. It's not just Elysia and Kevin Aponia who are evolving; An Yu is too.]
[Now, the challengers' roles have been reversed.]
[And of that original city, only Kevin remained, all alone.]
[Kevin!!!]
