Chapter 371

Kevin remained silent.

After a while, he asked, "What if you lose to the Thousand-Man Herrscher?"

"Don't worry, my friend, humans aren't as fragile as you think. Besides, how much help can you, who are already on the verge of death, really offer her?"

Otto looked confident; everything was going according to his plan.

Kevin nodded, acknowledging his statement, and continued, "But even if I'm on the verge of death, you don't have a weapon that can kill me. What are you planning to do?"

Don't worry, I was prepared.

Bishop Otto was confident, while Kevin remained silent; at that moment, the two reached a consensus.

"Bishop Otto, I think you should understand that my requirement is that I must be personally slain by a hero from the future," Kevin reminded him.

"It's quite unexpected that our thoughts coincide."

Otto reached out and handed Kevin a slip of paper, on which was written: The solution to this predicament lies with Kiana.

That's the end of my memory.

Fu Hua suddenly woke up with a start.

Otto is missing, Kevin is missing, and the Thousand-Man Herrscher have awakened and gained immense power. Clues connect in her mind, and all the answers are explained.

She was about to remind Kiana when suddenly the Herrscher of Reason severed her connection with her.

"Little Senti, what's wrong?" Fu Hua asked hurriedly.

The Herrscher of Reason spoke with a hint of pain, "They're Dominus. I was tricked by the Thousand-Man Herrscher; she just stole my authority. Damn it, if I were still alive, they wouldn't have been able to take my authority! Old Timer, you all better watch out."

Having served as Fu Hua's power source in place of Sword Heart for an extended period, and having just been subjected to a fierce attack by the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason finally collapsed from exhaustion.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher, on the other hand, gained the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

"Hahaha, Immortal Crimson Bird, is it just bad luck for you, or are we just destined to survive?"

The loud laughter of the Thousand-Man Herrscher echoed from within the black mist.

"Of all the good things, it just so happened that we gained the power of the Herrscher of Reason. Now we truly have an endless stream of comrades!"

The Herrscher of Reason influences consciousness; at this moment, it would be incredibly easy for Thousand-Man Herrscher to interfere with the consciousness of ordinary people, driving them to despair.

Not to mention that the power of the Herrscher of Reason is itself a form of blessing.

Fu Hua disregarded everything else and used her last bit of energy to unleash a single sword strike, slaying countless puppets.

The sword light in his palm completely dissipated at that moment.

She shouted at Kiana, "Kiana, the key to breaking this deadlock lies with you! Only you can kill the Thousand-Man Herrscher!"

"Shut up!!!"

As soon as the Immortal Crimson Bird finished speaking, countless puppets pounced on her and engulfed her.

Fu Hua!

Durandal transformed into golden light and attacked, attempting to break through the encirclement of Thousand-Man Herrscher to rescue Fu Hua, but was blocked by a giant puppet.

"Get out of the way!" Durandal sneered.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher said smugly, "No, no, we won't. You'll end up like her!"

The power of the Herrscher of Reason was activated, and Durandal and the giant doll were swallowed up into the illusion.

Kiana was now the only one left in the entire Theater of Domination.

The world shook violently, Dominus stood before her. "Kiana, now there truly is no one who can save you."

"Save me? I think you're just scared, aren't you?" Kiana replied, hands on her hips.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher laughed loudly, "Are you out of your mind? Afraid of you? What do you have to be afraid of?"

"You can't compare to Durandal in terms of physical strength, and you can't compare to the Immortal Crimson Bird in terms of mental fortitude. We've already dealt with both of them, so why should we be afraid of a mere brat like you?"

"Then give it a try!"

Kiana raised her fist and slammed it into the head of the Dominus.

A deafening roar echoed through the Theater of Domination as Kiana's fist left marks on the face of the Dominus, but only managed to knock her head to the side.

"What?!"

Kiana looked at her hands; her fists were all red from being punched. Was this stuff harder than Soulium?

The Thousand-Man Herrscher stood motionless, laughing loudly, "Kiana, are you really stupid? We obtained Kevin's power, what makes you think you can compare to him?"

The Dominus slammed down with a punch, causing the entire Theater of Domination to tremble and the ground to crumble. Kiana could only jump away to find a foothold.

"You're just like us, a expendable experiment. You're K423, a complete failure!"

"Pfft, hahahaha." Kiana burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at? Have you lost your mind?"

Kiana sneered, "I'm laughing at your stupidity. When you dealt with the class monitor and Durandal, you always said 'no talk, no action,' which shows you're very confident. But you treat me differently. Doesn't that just prove you're afraid of me?"

"Oh, then tell me, what exactly am I afraid of you for?" the Thousand-Man Herrscher asked.

Chapter 602 What the Herrscher of the Void Can Do

Kiana wasn't really sure what the Thousand-Man Herrscher were afraid of; she knew she was far weaker than Fu Hua and Durandal.

But Fu Hua insisted that the key to breaking the deadlock lay with her, and the actions of the Thousand-Man Herrscher proved it all.

This left Kiana completely baffled.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher laughed, "See? You don't even know what use you are. You're far inferior to Durandal and the Immortal Crimson Bird!"

You can't do anything at all!

"But they are willing to believe me, and since I do indeed have the means to threaten you, I also believe in myself!" Kiana said firmly.

"Then let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

The Dominus slapped down, casting a huge shadow over Kiana's head, but she leaped forward and skillfully dodged it.

A rope suddenly tripped Kiana's leg, causing her to pause.

The three puppets below struggled to hold onto Kiana.

Just as Kiana was about to exert her strength, the Dominus's hands instantly grabbed it and gripped it tightly. "Now you can't escape, can you? I'll crush you flat."

"Hahaha, are you in despair? Are you in pain? Are you despairing because of your own weakness?"

"No one can save you. Durandal and Fu Hua are both too busy taking care of themselves."

Kiana struggled to break free, as the Dominus's grip tightened.

"Ahem, I've been thinking about something."

Kiana said with difficulty, "Since you can take away the power of the Herrscher of Reason, why do you so desperately want to take away the power of the Herrscher of the Void from me, but don't just do it directly?"

"After thinking about it for a long time, I've come to an answer."

"What's the answer?" asked the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

You don't dare push me too hard.

Kiana suddenly snapped to attention, "You're not afraid of me, you're afraid of the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void's power. That's why you didn't hesitate to betray Herrscher of the Void and try to steal her power."

"Because once I control her power, I can immediately declare your demise."

The Dominus tightened their grip on Kiana's arms, squeezing her tightly.

Kiana gritted her teeth and continued, "I was wondering before why, despite having such immense power, you only dared to do petty theft and didn't even have the courage to launch a full-scale attack on humanity."

"Now that I think about it, it wasn't that you were unwilling, but rather that your power came from Kevin, not from yourself, so you simply couldn't do it!"

The Thousand-Man Herrscher retorted, "So what? Even if I destroy all the cities, humanity will still be destroyed!"

"Yes, but now I know exactly what you're afraid of."

Kiana smiled triumphantly.

"Although I still don't understand, since you're so afraid of the Herrscher of the Void's power, afraid that I'll unleash my full potential in a desperate situation, then all I need to do is apply that power to Kevin, and you'll lose!"

"Hateful!"

Enraged, the thousand- Dominus Thousand-Man Herrscher slammed Kiana to the ground with their ragtag group.

After the building collapsed and the dust settled, Kiana, now dressed in the skirt of the Herrscher of the Void, appeared atop the heads of the Dominus.

Kiana's eyes had turned golden. "I knew I was right."

The Herrscher of the Void unleashed her power, aiming at the solid ice in the sky, where there was a very obvious energy that even the Herrscher of the Void's wormhole could not transport.

But all she had to do was apply her power to Kevin.

"Thousand-Man Herrscher, I'll send you to hell right now!"

The Queen of the Void's light curtain unfolded, enveloping the mysterious ice in the sky, but it grew smaller and smaller.

Kiana stared blankly at her palm. "How could this be?"

The Thousand-Man Herrscher burst into mocking laughter. "Hahaha, Kiana, are you stupid? Just because you've used the powers of the Herrscher of the Void for a while, you actually think you're the Herrscher of the Void?"

That's not your power at all!

Kiana then realized that although she could mobilize the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, she could not unleash its full power.

What the Thousand-Man Herrscher feared was the Herrscher of the Void power she unleashed when pushed to her limit.

Only a fully realized Sirin, a fully Herrscher of the Void, can achieve this.

"Herrscher of the Void, how about we make a deal?" Kiana invited the other consciousness within her body.

The Herrscher of the Void scoffed, "Heh, you think I'd help you? Why should I? I'd rather all of humanity be wiped out."

No, this is different.

Tell me, what's different?

"First of all, the Thousand-Man Herrscher will definitely be defeated. Otto didn't show up, so Kevin must have left a backup plan. You know very well what that means."

This means that the Thousand-Man Herrscher was completely used as a pawn by those two.

The Herrscher of the Void wavered slightly. "But I still have no reason to help you. In the end, we are of one mind when it comes to destroying humanity."

No, she will kill you.

Kiana said, "Since you are her greatest threat, the Thousand-Man Herrscher will definitely kill you. You don't want that to happen."

"Furthermore, after unleashing this full power, I will fall into a deep sleep, at which point my body will be under your control."

This is all the chips Kiana can offer.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher once betrayed the Herrscher of the Void, and she didn't believe that this queen wouldn't retaliate given her temper.

The Herrscher of the Void laughed, "Kiana, even I'm swayed by you Kiana. Alright, I'll accept your body."

The queen with golden eyes slowly opened her eyes, her skirt fluttering in the wind.

The curtain of light in the sky reopened, even larger than before.

How is that possible?

The Thousand-Man Herrscher could not understand why Kiana had suddenly gained control of the Herrscher of the Void's power.

"Don't understand? Perfect, then take your doubts with you and go to hell!"

Kiana raised her arms high, and the Honkai Energy in her body flowed out like a flood, as the authority of the Herrscher of the Void enveloped the ice.

The Herrscher of the Void lent her power, and Kiana will bear the burden of that power.

As she said, if she uses the power of the Herrscher of the Void with all her might, she will fall into a deep sleep, and the Herrscher of the Void will take control of her body in her place.

The class monitor and Durandal were still locked in fierce combat with the puppets.

Theresa, Mei, Bronya, Teacher Himeko, and their companions outside—I wonder how they are doing.

Kiana knew that she had to bear the burden of this attack no matter what!

"Hold on!"

The energy in her hand coalesced into a dark sphere, Kiana, gritting her teeth, transferred it to Kevin's location.
