Chapter 320

So what's the difference between this and the previously failed Fire Moth? For Herrscher kills one, a second will appear, until civilization is destroyed and the Finality the end.

This is not the way to defeat the Honkai.

However, if they don't kill him, the price they would have to pay to trap a Herrscher would likely be winning the battle but losing the battlefield.

The Flame-Chasers remained silent, torn between the two options.

Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia, can we not detain Captain Himiko? I'm afraid what happened to Sister Sakura will happen again."

Sakura: "I agree with Pardo's suggestion."

It's not about right or wrong, nor have I considered specific methods.

Sakura simply didn't want what happened to her sister to happen to other people.

Elysia: "Don't worry about that. We're not like the Fire Moth we used to be. Apponia's been very well-behaved, she hasn't used Precepts even once. Himiko's treating us to the best food and drinks right now."

Apponia: "That's great."

Mobius: "I can attest to that; that woman eats and drinks well, gaining several pounds every month. But her health... well, what's meant to happen will happen."

Himiko was Herrscher; this is beyond doubt.

Whether her awakening was voluntary or not, she was already bound by fate.

Fu Hua: "Isn't there any way to avoid it?"

Fu Hua understood and agreed with the house arrest measures taken by Flame-Chasers, but it was only a temporary solution.

Kevin: "She is Herrscher, and from the moment she was chosen as Herrscher, there was no turning back."

Sue: "Kevin, we all understand, but this still isn't enough to defeat the Honkai."

Fu Hua: "Captain Himiko is someone who is willing to sacrifice herself for humanity, but precisely because she is great, she shouldn't sacrifice herself so shamefully."

Mobius: "It's not cheap. She alone can ensure the safety of millions and the peace of hundreds of thousands of families. Such a sacrifice is far more valuable than the volunteers who die on the operating table, isn't it?"

Fu Hua: "..."

The Immortal Crimson Bird was speechless for a moment.

Without Elysia giving the Herrscher humanity, their path was blocked in an alley from the very beginning.

Chakravartin: "Enough with the nonsense! If you're going to keep spouting off, if you're going to remain so noble and hypocritical, then let me be the Villain!"

Su: "Chakravartin, we were just discussing countermeasures."

Chakravartin: "What can you possibly come up with? Capture a living Herrscher and experiment on her? I might as well do it myself; at least I can grant her liberation!"

Elysia: "Oh dear, disagreements again, here we go again."

Elysia scratched her head. If she didn't give everyone an explanation for the current situation, something terrible was about to happen.

Kevin: "Quiet!"

As Kevin's voice faded, an icy chill spread throughout the Chat Group. The lingering power of the Deliverance Flame-Chasers still resonated, and everyone fell silent.

The Herrscher of Reason: "Ah! What's going on? It's colder than ever before? It's never been this bad before."

Kiana: "Hoo... maybe Kevin has regained his strength."

Pardofelis: "Boss Kevin, calm down, the fur on our tails is starting to freeze."

It was really cold; Pardofelis was shivering so badly that she wanted to run away to Chakravartin.

Kevin: "Sorry, I'm still getting used to it."

Having just recovered to his peak condition, Kevin couldn't stop himself for a moment. He silently crossed his arms, withdrawing his aura of keeping strangers at bay, and the temperature began to ease.

Kevin: "Since Elysia has taken on this task, she has her own decisions to make. We just need to wait and see how it goes."

Elysia: "Wow, I knew Kevin was really heartwarming, wasn't I? He's so trusting."

Sue: "Elysia, we naturally believe in you, but we're just worried that you'll be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position."

Whether to kill or not, no matter which approach is taken, the result will not satisfy everyone.

But Elysia will give everyone a satisfactory answer.

But it is precisely because the person handling this matter is Elysia, the Herrscher of Humanity who can share her humanity with the Herrscher through her own death, that the Flame-Chasers are even more worried.

Elysia: "Don't worry, I'm just going to check on Himiko's condition first."

After saying that, Elysia logged off.

The Fire Moth Base, three floors below the Mobius Laboratory.

Elysia walked slowly and heavily, gradually approaching the confinement room.

"Is this a food delivery? Could I have a drink? No matter how delicious your food is, I haven't had a drink in months."

The sounds from inside the room carried out.

"I brought you some wine."

Elysia stepped through the door, waving the bottle of her prized wine.

Of course, it is Eden's treasure.

The first thing that catches the eye is a mature woman with red hair, looking fresh and capable. From her face and voluptuous figure to her slender legs, she exudes the charm of a mature woman.

'She really looks like that Teacher Himeko.'

This was Elysia's first impression of Himiko.

However, at this moment, this mature woman was fuming, her legs crossed in an unseemly manner, and her hair disheveled.

It is clear that the prolonged period of house arrest has put considerable pressure on this well-trained captain.

Elysia frowned and poured her a glass of red wine.

The bright red liquid was poured into the glass, Himiko intently at the glass in front of her, her eyes reflecting a jewel-like crimson color.

Himiko raised her cup and drank it all in one gulp. "Ah, this is truly fine sake!"

"If you like, you can have it delivered every day, but of course, something this good won't do."

Elysia would feel bad if Eden's treasured wine was drunk in one go.

"Sure, I'm not used to these expensive luxury drinks either. Just get me some whatever you like. Back in the army, I never got this kind of treatment."

Himiko downed another cup, her face flushed, and she exhaled heavily through her nose.

"Military matters? Would you be interested in talking to me about them?"

"Actually, it's not a very interesting topic to talk about. It's much more boring than you think. Believe me, a lively girl like you wouldn't like it."

Himiko spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all.

Elysia said regretfully, "Oh, that's a real shame."

She poured Himiko another cup of wine, which the latter accepted but did not drink immediately.

Himiko's eyes were fixed on Elysia's face, her entire aura like that of a fully grown lion.

At this moment, she seemed like a squad leader who had experienced countless battlefields, even fought against Honkai Beast, and witnessed Honkai Beast destroying human cities, rather than a slovenly drunkard locked up in solitary confinement.

Chapter 521 The Flame Herrscher Under House Arrest

Himiko aura, but Elysia simply smiled and poured herself a glass of red wine.

Lion, fairy.

If Griseo were here, she could certainly paint a completely unrelated picture of the two of them.

After a long while, Himiko her wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Little girl, you're no ordinary person, are you?"

"Um?"

"Putting aside the fact that this bottle of high-end wine can sell for an astronomical price, the unfathomable power you possess is undeniable. Even food delivery drivers don't have such exaggerated abilities."

Himiko to the wine bottle inlaid with gold wire and said.

"Huh, they managed to hide it so well?"

Elysia blinked.

As far as she knew, Himiko was still just an ordinary person and shouldn't be able to sense Honkai Energy.

Has the pace of Herrscherization accelerated again?

"It's no exaggeration to say that you're a monster, little girl. I'm confident in my military instincts, and for a moment just now, I really wanted to run away from you."

"You can't portray me as such a lovely girl, like a ferocious wild beast."

Elysia stretched out her arm.

Slender and fair-skinned, she truly resembled a well-bred young lady raised in seclusion.

"Haha, that was my fault, I apologize."

Himiko about to drink the wine in one gulp when she saw that the bottle was only half full, so she changed her mind and drank it sip by sip.

"At first, I really thought of you as a food delivery intern. After all, at your age, most girls haven't even seen a gun, let alone gone to the battlefield."

"I never imagined I was so blind. I'm truly flattered that the Fire Moth would send someone as powerful as you to monitor me."

"So, who exactly are you?"

Himiko, slammed the glass down on the table, and stared directly into Elysia's eyes.

Elysia stood up and handed her her identification.

"The first of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, or to put it in a way you can understand, is the chief of the Fire-Chasing Council of Thirteen, Elysia."

Himiko silent for two seconds, staring intently at Elysia's identification, almost thinking she was hallucinating.

But thinking about it, the Fire Moth wouldn't be so bored as to lie to someone under house arrest, and no one would dare to impersonate the mastermind.

"I never expected such an important figure to arrive, and the legendary leader of the Fire Moth is actually a young girl. I almost thought I'd been locked up for too long and was hallucinating."

"I apologize for the house arrest you were placed under."

Elysia lowered her head and said solemnly.

Whatever the reason, Himiko was indeed placed under house arrest and observed for several months because of their decision.

She was originally a frontline soldier, a hero striving to protect humanity.

"Well, there's no need to be so formal. I have some idea of the reasons why you've placed me under house arrest."

Did Mobius say anything superfluous?

Elysia couldn't help but frown.

"No, I just guessed it myself. Every time I go out, I see the fear in everyone's eyes, like they're looking at a time bomb. I'm all too familiar with it."

Want to know why?

"If I say I want to, will you tell me?"

Himiko asked.

Anyone caught in such a strange situation would have doubts, fears, and suspicions.

If Himiko hadn't possessed exceptional mental fortitude, an ordinary person would have collapsed long ago.

But ordinary people probably can't become the prototype of Herrscher.

"Sure, but it's a long story."

Elysia poured out the rest of the wine from the bottle, one glass for each of them, and began to talk about the Honkai Herrscher.

After she finished speaking, Himiko an expression of understanding.

"So the Fire Moth are doing something so great, overcoming catastrophes that could destroy civilizations—truly an extraordinary feat."

Himiko raised her wine glass and looked up at the ceiling.

Through the glass and the red liquid, she could almost see a dazzling galaxy.

When she turned her head and looked at Elysia again, there was a hint of respect in her eyes.

"So, what do you need me to do? Sacrifice myself, or cooperate with your experiments? If possible, I'd also like to do something within my power."

"No need, and it's not necessary."
