Chapter 368

The Schicksal and Anti-Entropy control systems do have their merits, perfectly intercepting Honkai Energy bombs before they reach the city, but they cannot intercept bombs that explode inside the city.

By bombing more cities and destroying more defense systems, the Thousand-Man Herrscher can indiscriminately drop bombs underground.

"Then let's make this performance even more exciting!"

Keep dreaming!

The Void Lance pierced through the theater and stuck in the middle of the square.

Kiana appeared in the puppets' sight in a flash, stepping on the Void Lance, followed by Durandal and Fu Hua, who slowly walked in through the spatial rift.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher stared at the Void Lance: "The Herrscher of the Void?"

"It's my Kiana!"

Kiana leaped to the ground, grabbed the Void Lance with one hand, and slung it over her shoulder. "Thanks to you all for awakening the other consciousness within me, I can now wield the power of the Herrscher of the Void!"

"Thief, traitor, death penalty!"

"The Thousand-Man Herrscher roared."

If Durandal hadn't suddenly arrived, they would have captured the Herrscher of the Void long ago, Kiana wouldn't be so arrogant now.

The gaze of the Thousand-Man Herrscher swept over the three. "The Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of the Void, the Immortal Crimson Bird, and the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal."

"Good, very good. As long as we wipe you all out here, nothing will be able to stop us!"

Do you think I'm a pushover?

Kiana flashed behind the doll and punched it in the face, sending the doll flying.

"Attack together!" The four puppets pounced on Kiana, grabbing her arms from four directions and locking her body in place.

Kiana was bound to the spot, and the other dolls swarmed forward, pounced on Kiana en masse.

"Get out of the way!"

With a swift, cold glint, Durandal's spear pierced through the dolls' bodies, its Black Abyss White Flower striking with unstoppable force. After circling through the doll horde, it returned to her hand.

As expected of the Divine Key, which possesses both the power of creation and death, the Black Abyss White Flower destroyed all six puppets in just one round.

"Your opponents aren't just Kiana, they include me." Durandal, carrying his knight's lance, stepped forward.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher roared in fury, "Damn it! If we fully master that person's power, the Black Abyss White Flower won't be able to harm us at all!"

"I know."

Durandal said, "Kevin's Hypervariable Factor allows her to heal even when hit by the Black Abyss White Flower. Such a body is far too powerful; a puppet's body simply cannot withstand it."

If even the Black Abyss White Flower is ineffective against the Thousand-Man Herrscher, Durandal would definitely pick up Kiana and run.

However, the Thousand-Man Herrscher is far from being as powerful as Kevin.

Some were even too weak, so weak that Durandal doubted whether they had truly inherited Kevin's power.

Chapter 597 The Immortal's Sword

It wasn't that Durandal was relying on the morale of others to diminish his own prestige; it was simply that the Lord of the World Serpent was far too powerful.

Moreover, before the World Serpent Lord and the Bishop of Schicksal both disappeared, Kevin was at his peak, and everyone witnessed just how powerful Kevin at his peak.

The abilities displayed by the Thousand-Man Herrscher are difficult to deal with, but not because she is truly powerful. Rather, it is because she was born from the masses and her self-destructive attack method is difficult to defend against.

In terms of strength, Durandal even felt that the average level of the dolls was below Rita's.

But it was far from the image of someone who had inherited Kevin's power, as they described.

Or is it because the puppet's potential is simply too low, so even if it inherited Kevin's power, it could only unleash less than one-tenth of its full potential?

Durandal stared at the doll he had stomped on the ground, lost in thought.

Trying to ambush her at that speed? Does that doll have no brains?

"Damn it! She's underestimating us again! She's definitely underestimating us again!" The Thousand-Man Herrscher roared, pointing at Durandal.

Durandal nodded in agreement. "That's right. You just said you inherited Kevin's power, but apart from the ice hanging upside down in the sky, I don't see a single trace of Kevin in any of you."

"If it really Kevin, I've already taken Kiana to the Schicksal Headquarters and asked the Flame-Chasers of the Previous Era for help."

She is a resolute and courageous Valkyrie, somewhat straightforward, and occasionally a bit too reckless, but Durandal is not a fool.

"Ugh! Damn it, is this guy an idiot? He actually blurted out his whole plan?"

The Thousand-Man Herrscher found it utterly unbelievable.

Durandal, holding up the Black Abyss White Flower and pointing at the puppet, said, "I'm just stating the facts, and that doesn't stop me from annihilating you right now."

"Arrogant and conceited!"

Several dolls were stacked together and assembled into a doll as tall as a mountain, its arms alone being larger than a skyscraper.

The doll slowly raised its arm and slammed it down towards Durandal.

Durandal raised the Black Abyss White Flower to meet the puppet's fist.

The light exploded at that moment.

Durandal was knocked back dozens of steps, and the puppet's fist shattered layer by layer, becoming covered with cracks.

"Getting bigger will only make the target more visible and a sitting duck."

A golden light flashed, Dea Anchora appeared on Durandal's body. She raised her foot, drew her bow, and aimed the arrow at the giant doll's head.

--Bang!

Just as Durandal said, the enlarged Thousand-Man Herrscher was unable to dodge her charged attack and took the brunt of Durandal's Horn Bow.

"Idiot! Do you think we didn't think of that?"

Several puppets rushed into the giant puppet one after another, and the injuries that Durandal had caused, whether it was the cracks in his arms or the pierced head, were repaired.

"Haha, when old comrades die, new comrades will join."

"We are the Thousand-Man Herrscher, but we are not just a thousand people!"

"As long as the world's malice continues, and as long as humans keep joining, and Honkai Energy being provided, we will never disappear!"

Durandal focused her mind and energy, then jumped up and punched the doll in the chest.

The enormous body fell to the ground.

But as the Thousand-Man Herrscher said, as long as new dolls are added, Durandal cannot truly defeat them.

This is tricky...

Durandal took three breaths, then clenched her fist and slammed it down on the giant doll.

If one punch isn't enough, try two.

If two punches aren't enough, three.

If three punches don't work, keep hitting.

She refused to believe that the rate at which a Thousand-Man Herrscher could be born could outpace her punches!

Durandal unleashed a barrage of punches, while Kiana battled fiercely against the Thousand-Man Herrscher, managing to hold off dozens of puppets with the advantage of her Herrscher of the Void abilities.

The two were locked in a fierce battle when Fu Hua stepped in to help.

"Little Senti, can you capture the consciousness of Thousand-Man Herrscher?" Fu Hua asked.

The Herrscher of Reason responded, "It's possible, but we can't break through their minds, even with Fenghuang Down. It must be Kevin's fault; only he can so completely ignore Fenghuang Down's interference!"

Little Senti cursed Kevin a thousand times in his heart.

Knowing full well that neither Fenghuang Down nor the Herrscher of Reason could affect him, he still became an accomplice of the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

If it weren't for her, Little Senti would have already gone on a killing spree and wiped out all the Thousand-Man Herrscher with an A Worldful of Woes!

Fu Hua continued, "What about peering into memories? I want to know what exactly happened to Kevin."

"That's possible. We can take advantage of the fierce battle between the Thousand-Man Herrscher and Durandal to launch an attack... But finding the exact fragment belonging to Kevin will be a delicate task."

Those Herrscher of Reason frowned, but didn't say it was impossible.

Fu Hua understood her meaning. "Okay, I'll go up and help them, to ease your burden. You can also use Fenghuang Down; you absolutely can't let this opportunity slip by."

"No problem, just you wait and see, you Old Timer!"

The Herrscher of Reason patted his chest and guaranteed it.

The Immortal Crimson Bird unleashed a punch that whipped up a fierce wind, causing the earth to shake violently and shattering the stone wall that Theater of Domination.

Kiana, I'm here to help you!

"Class monitor." Kiana was about to say that she didn't need help when more than a dozen high-level dolls leaped onto her.

You should worry about yourself first!

Several more puppets descended from the black mist, completely surrounding Fu Hua.

The immortal focused his mind, raised two fingers to summon countless sword shadows, and a sky full of sword formations rained down.

Although Fu Hua no longer possesses the Sword Heart of her youth, and the sword shadows filling the sky have lost some of her ethereal Eminence, relying on the Herrscher of Reason to replace her Sword Heart is enough for her to display some of her former glory.

As the sword formation descended, several puppets were pierced by the sword energy.

"Isn't this guy's Sword Heart not fully recovered? How can she use Sword Heart? She should be crippled right now!"

"It was the Bishop of Schicksal who helped her recover; it must have been Otto's doing!"

"No, she hasn't recovered. She's just putting on a brave face. Immortal Crimson Bird was already severely injured, and she's at her last gasp!"

The dolls argued.

Fu Hua stretched out her hand, her supreme sword intent gathering in her palm. "I have indeed not recovered to my peak, and I am far from being Kevin's match, but you are not Kevin, and I am not the Immortal Crimson Bird."

"If you're not the Immortal Crimson Bird, then who are you?" the Thousand-Man Herrscher asked.

Fu Hua looked at Kiana: "I am Fu Hua, the class monitor of the St. Freya Academy. Perhaps I have experienced many hardships in the past, but from the moment I chose to become a new student, all the past has vanished."

A golden sword materialized in her hand.

The existence of the Herrscher of Reason can replace Sword Heart; though not as powerful as before, it still possesses considerable charm.

It is not Sword God and does not possess the ability to destroy the world.

It surpasses even the Sword God, possessing unparalleled profoundness and resolute determination in its cultivated sword intent.

Fu Hua, sword in hand, unleashed a single strike that cleaved through the air with dazzling light, destroying all the puppets before her, slicing through the hanging ice, and splitting the entire Theater of Domination in two.

The giant doll that was locked in a stalemate with Durandal was also sliced in two with a single sword strike.

"My goodness, class monitor, you're amazing!"

Kiana sat on the ground and sighed.

Chapter 598 Fu Hua's Splendor

Kiana thought she had a certain understanding of Flame-Chasers's level, but when she actually witnessed Fu Hua's sword strike that shattered the sky, she couldn't help but be shocked.

It was originally thought that even if Fu Hua's physical injuries healed, her Sword Heart would be gone, and her power would be greatly reduced.

Now it seems that you, the immortal, are still the immortal.

Squad leader, if I've offended you in any way, is it too late to apologize now?

Kiana slumped to the ground, swallowing hard.

"Damn it, how can he be so strong? Impossible, impossible!"

"She must be at her last gasp. After that one strike, she had no strength left to fight. That must be it!"

The puppets emerged one after another from the black mist and merged into the giant puppet.

The wounds Fu Hua inflicted on the giant doll were visibly healing and regenerating.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher looked down at Fu Hua: "Don't panic! She's just at her last gasp. Go ahead and strike again if you dare..."

Boom!!!

A crescent-shaped golden light ripped through the sky, and the giant doll's body was once again split in two.

Fu Hua raised her sword, pointing it at the head of the Thousand-Man Herrscher: "You're welcome to try and see how many more swords I can unleash!"
