Miko, Miss, Are You Getting a Household Registration?

"That's enough!"

With a loud shout, Yae Sakura flicked her fingertips, controlling the remaining Crimson Katana to pierce deep into the white fox's body, completely sealing off its movements.

At this point, the Herrscher of Erosion was completely at their mercy, powerless to resist.

"This time, you lost."

Holding the Demon Blade horizontally in front of the white fox, Yae Sakura solemnly declared.

"Hmph! Yae Sakura, I admit you won this time." Looking at the crimson blade so close to her, the white fox snorted coldly, her eyes showing no fear. "But our battle will not end here!"

As long as there is resentment in one's heart, it will never perish.

What humans couldn't do 50,000 years ago, humans in this era can't do either!

"Of course I know, but..." With a long sigh, Yae Sakura suddenly plunged the Demon Blade in her hand into the ground, bent down and gently hugged the white fox's head, "These five hundred years of entanglement must have been a kind of torture for you as well."

Although Rin in the dream was created through your manipulation and transformation, your smile when you ate that plate of Sweet Dream was equally genuine.

In their five hundred years of symbiosis, the Herrscher of Erosion certainly controlled everything about her, but she also sensed the hatred in his heart and understood that he was also a victim of some tragedy.

"Sweet Dream..."

Upon hearing this word, the white fox's expression suddenly became complicated.

The white fox glanced around and then looked at the boy beside him, saying, "Kid, where did you learn to make those kinds of snacks?"

That is definitely not something that could appear in this era.

"As a prisoner, didn't anyone teach you manners?" Shihen stroked the white fox's head, a nostalgic smile appearing on Shi Hen lips. "This kind of snack came from the hands of an older sister who misses her younger sister."

If you want to learn, you'd better beg me honestly.

"Hmph! Shameless scoundrel!"

The white fox's head immediately tilted to the side.

Even though 50,000 years have passed, the memories associated with this kind of dessert are still deeply imprinted in His mind.

"Lord Hen!"

Yae Sakura also gave a coquettish sigh.

She could tell that the pastry was quite important to the Herrscher in front of her, with whom she had been entangled for five hundred years.

Shi Hen could only helplessly shrug at the Miko's complaints.

He wasn't lying.

If the Herrscher of Erosion had been more accommodating, he wouldn't have minded restoring other Previous Civilization delicacies for him.

Sakura taught him more than just "Sweet Dream".

"Herrscher of Erosion, if you are willing to let go of your resentment, I can allow you to move freely within a certain range."

As she spoke, Yae Sakura gently beckoned, and the Crimson Katana inside the white fox's body was pulled out slightly.

Five hundred years ago, it was Kallen who saved her from the darkness.

And now, a young man has brought a ray of light to her as she is trapped in a nightmare.

Moreover, just as the other party said, what Kallen gave her was far more than just a power.

The trust and warmth between people is the more precious treasure she received and wants to pass on.

"Yae Sakura, don't think I'll give in as easily as you." The white fox said defiantly, her tone less menacing. "But this time, let me rest a bit..."

After fifty thousand years of struggle, His heart was riddled with holes, sustained only by a burning hatred.

If even a ray of light could shine in, this hatred would naturally fly away completely, like the air inside a balloon.

With a sigh, the white fox's body turned into light and vanished, leaving behind only a black Soul Steel box.

This is a black box that seals the true form of the Herrscher of Erosion.

In the Previous Civilization Era, humanity did not have the means to completely eliminate the Herrscher of Erosion, so they could only seal them in a black box completely isolated from the outside world, hoping that a solution would be found in the future.

Unfortunately, this delay lasted for 50,000 years.

"The Herrscher of Erosion..."

Looking at the Soul Steel Black Box that had been with her for five hundred years, Yae Sakura's expression became complicated.

Theoretically speaking, she should hate the other party, after all, she destroyed the entire Yae Village under the other party's control, and even almost killed Kallen, and now she almost caused Shi Hen to lose his life as well.

On the other hand, after sensing the Herrscher's inner emotions, she couldn't help but feel pity for him.

"For Him, this is the best possible outcome."

Shi Hen a soft word of comfort.

Unlike Yae Sakura, the real Rin died completely 50,000 years ago, leaving behind only hatred for humanity and civilization.

Once this hatred is lost, the Herrscher of Erosion will naturally cease to exist.

Snap~

With a soft click, the tightly sealed black box suddenly opened, and an incomparably dazzling light burst forth from it.

"This is?"

With her eyes narrowed, Yae Sakura gasped in surprise.

"The Divine Key, Jizo-Mikoto".

As he explained, Shi Hen stepped forward and grasped the light tightly.

In Setsuna, all the light receded, condensing into a magnificent black and red katana in the boy's hand.

After the Herrscher of Erosion disappeared, the program already present in the Soul Steel automatically activated, forging the power left behind by the Herrscher into the Divine Key.

With this, the last Divine Key was finally completed.

Chapter 116 Miss Miko, Will You Register Your Household?

"Jizo-Mikoto... Is this sword very important?"

Looking at the black and red katana in the boy's hand, Yae Sakura frowned and asked.

As a typical village girl from the Far East, she actually had no idea about the concepts of Herrscher and Divine Key.

"It's alright. It's somewhat useful, but not that useful."

Shi Hen sensed the information transmitted back from his right hand, he frowned as he activated [Gundaluruf].

This final Key of Erosion seems to have never been designed for human use.

The reason is simple: humans are carbon-based life forms and cannot process large amounts of information instantly like the Herrscher of Erosion.

After all, even the Herrscher of Erosion from Previous Civilization could only truly unleash their power after they died and lost their physical bodies.

The Herrscher of Erosion's true terror lies in its ability to replicate infinitely, like an electronic virus.

Unfortunately, humans cannot do something similar.

Is it to complement Prometheus and the Stigmata Project?

Feeling the unique texture of the Soul Steel of the Jizo-Mikoto, Shi Hen began to speculate.

In the War of the End of the Previous Civilization, the Moth to Fire spent a great deal of effort hacking Prometheus XVII into the Cocoon of Finality to create a Will of Honkai, ensuring the future rule of the Three Kingdoms. If the Key of Erosion had existed at that time, this matter would probably have been much simpler and easier, and the results would have been much better.

After all, judging from what happened later, the powers of the Herrscher of the two civilizations were quite different, and even their ways of being born were becoming increasingly different.

The fact that Herrscher, as stated in the lore, are all transformed from humans seems to have disappeared later on, completely eliminating the possibility of Herrscher turning against their former allies.

However, these things have little to do with Shi Hen, and he doesn't care whether he can turn more Herrscher to the side.

As long as the other party can arrive smoothly, he will be able to obtain the power he wants. Shi Hen does not care about the survival of these Herrscher.

If it's just about fighting the Finality, he could do it all by himself.

For the boy at this moment, the only things that truly matter are the Key of Erosion and its all-pervasive corrosive properties.

As for whether this Divine Key can be brought to its full potential... Shi Hen doesn't intend to become the Will of Honkai.

"Since Lord Hen needs this weapon, then the Jizo-Mikoto will be yours to use."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Yae Sakura immediately revealed a bright smile, as if she didn't care at all that this was a legendary limited-edition divine equipment.

"You don't understand the true value of the Divine Key."

He twirled the knife to test its feel, Shi Hen shook his head slightly.

"It is precisely because Lord Hen understands this that the Jizo-Mikoto can be more effective in your hands than in mine."

As she spoke softly, Yae Sakura's smile grew even brighter.

She knew how powerful the weapon was, but she did not crave that power.

Strength is something that is sufficient when you have enough.

"... It was my arrogance that led me astray."

He paused for a moment, Shi Hen shook his head and chuckled.

Despite being deeply moved by Yae Sakura's magnanimity, Shi Hen had no intention of giving up the Divine Key.

At least for now, he still has situations where he must use Jizo-Mikoto.

"Please do not belittle yourself. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would still be trapped in this nightmare."

Yae Sakura shook her head slightly, her expression becoming more serious.

"In that case, I will accept this Jizo-Mikoto."

As he spoke, the black and red katana in Shi Hen's hand simultaneously turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Soul Steel weapons all possess the ability to suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear.

Don't ask about the principles; the answer is simply the setup.

"That's exactly right."

Yae Sakura nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

The boy was her benefactor.

For the Miko maiden, being able to help her benefactor was a joyful thing.

"Speaking of which, Miss Sakura, have you thought about what you should do after you leave here?"

Five hundred years have passed in the outside world since you were sealed away.

As he asked the question, Shi Hen glanced around, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

We couldn't find the little fox. Is it still sleeping in some corner of the Stigmata Space?

At the moment the Herrscher of Erosion disappeared and the Divine Key was forged, he sensed a rather strange mental fluctuation.

The First, Shi Hen thought the little fox would appear with the Jizo-Mikoto, but it seems that this was not the case.

Was Himeko's birth actually due to Yae Sakura's wish?

Shihen glanced at the Miko beside him Shi Hen began to speculate.

The Stigmata Space has the function of preserving consciousness.

If this were in the real world, the Herrscher of Erosion would probably have been completely annihilated.

But here... all I can say is that anything is possible.

Shi Hen did not fully understand all the secrets of the Stigmata.

Even if Himeko is successfully born, she will have little to do with Rin and the Herrscher of Erosion, just like Kiana and Sirin.

It's just a new shoot being drawn from the embers of the past.

That will be a brand new life.

"Five hundred years..." Upon hearing this number, Yae Sakura couldn't help but sigh. After pausing for a while, she continued, "I hope to embark on a journey across the world like those Miko in history, cleansing demons from all directions."

As she spoke, Yae Sakura drew her Demon Blade, twirled it with a flourish, and then slowly sheathed it, her movements crisp and possessing a unique beauty.

Exorcising demons and monsters was her duty as Miko.
