Fu Hua and the Snake

Those were accomplices in the Honkai that wanted to destroy the land of Shenzhou. The girl couldn't understand why that gentle and beautiful Miss Miko would stop Theresa.

"Yes, Miss Sakura, that girl is very dangerous. You must not be fooled by appearances!"

Still remembering Yae Sakura's gentle demeanor at the shrine, Mei also spoke up to offer advice.

"Danger?" Yae Sakura tilted her head slightly, a hint of doubt in her voice. "Are you referring to beings like me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Yae Sakura's body, instantly forcing Theresa back several steps. The surrounding Judah's Spear was also impacted and turned into specks of light, dissipating into nothingness.

"This is... Herrscher!"

Seeing the long-haired ninja in front of her, Theresa's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Without a doubt, the aura emanating from Yae Sakura at this moment was the unique pressure of Herrscher!

The Great Honkai energy, as vast as an abyss, and the terrifying intensity of Honkai Energy, are characteristics unique to Herrscher.

But... the First Herrscher is the missing former Anti-Entropy Leader, the Second Herrscher has been eliminated, and the Third Herrscher is Mei. How could there possibly be other Herrscher in this world?!

The Fourth Honkai Outbreak hasn't even happened yet!

Without offering any explanation to Theresa, Yae Sakura turned to [Jilin] beside her and asked in a gentle voice, "Miss, would you be willing to temporarily set aside your hatred and join my organization?"

[Kasumikage] Since she's here, she's bound to cause trouble. This is something the boy told me about, "The Self-Cultivation of a Villainous Boss."

Upon hearing this, Theresa and the others were all taken aback.

This woman, who calls herself "Kasumikage," actually dares to try to recruit a Judgment-class Honkai Beasts?

What exactly is the background of this organization?!

However, when they thought about the fact that Yae Sakura was a Herrscher, everyone immediately understood... what a load of rubbish!

No matter how you look at it, the organization behind them must be extremely dangerous!

"Let go of hatred!?" Upon hearing this, Jilin immediately revealed a cold smile. "Do you know how I've survived these past five thousand years!?"

In that endless time, all happiness and joy had vanished, leaving only endless resentment and despair to accompany and entangle her.

Now that things have come to this, how can she possibly let go?!

"Now that you've gained human intelligence, why are you still clinging to thinking in a way that's Honkai, Chi You?" Yae Sakura said softly, shaking her head. "Please think carefully. You were never Jilin!"

Even though they obtained Jilin's appearance and memories, the other party was not Jilin, nor was it a manifestation of Jilin's resentment.

From beginning to end, this girl was only Chi You.

Or, with the help of soil named Chiyou, a new shoot sprouted from the ashes remaining after Jilin's death.

It was only because of the deep-rooted hatred for civilization in the Honkai Beasts's consciousness, which was almost like an imprint on its mind, that the girl mistakenly believed that Jilin harbored resentment towards her.

Only in this way can she explain her current appearance and memories.

"I... am Chi You?"

Staring blankly at her own palm, the girl's expression suddenly froze.

"Look at that Xuanyuan Sword. Do you really think Jilin would harbor resentment towards his friends just because he's lonely?!"

Pointing to the gauntlets on Fu Hua's hand, Yae Sakura demanded sharply.

"..."

Upon seeing the Grip of Taixu in Fu Hua's hand, the girl's pupils dilated in surprise.

Even though its form had changed, she could still recognize that it was the Xuanyuan Sword that Jilin once possessed.

Moreover, unlike her, those Grip of Taixu were filled with Jilin's blessings for his friend.

Without a doubt, that was Jilin's true attitude.

Even after enduring five thousand years of solitude, Jilin still only had blessings for his friends.

"What would I gain by joining you?"

Raising his eyes to look at Yae Sakura, Chi You asked softly, his voice hollow with a sense of utter despair.

Not Jilin, nor the Honkai Beasts whose mind was filled with thoughts of destruction, Chi You was momentarily unsure of what he truly was.

"The right to live."

She said calmly, Yae Sakura tone filled with arrogance, as if the other person's life or death was entirely in her hands.

"Ha! You think you're that strong!?"

Chi You revealed a cold smile.

Even though she could sense the strength of the Honkai Energy emanating from the other party, how could she, as Judgment-class Honkai Beast, easily bow down?

Without saying a word, Yae Sakura simply gripped the crimson Demon Blade tightly in her hand.

Whoosh!

With a flash of light, Yae Sakura was already behind Chi You, and at the same time, a crack extended continuously from in front of the ninja, quickly exceeding several thousand meters.

The brilliant sunlight shone down from the sky, and a large amount of seawater surged up at his feet, as if Chi You's entire body had been cut in two by this slash. Even the girl-like Chi You had a faint bloodstain that ran from head to toe on his body.

"Now, do you have any questions?"

With a long exhale, Yae Sakura slowly sheathed the Demon Blade in her hand.

Chi You: "..."

If you're strong, fine, but why did you have to cut me down?!

"Now that you have acquired human wisdom, why don't you try walking around the world as a human being?"

Yae Sakura asked gently.

No longer daring to ignore the words of the woman dressed as a ninja, Chi You quickly nodded in agreement, glancing at Theresa and the others beside him.

"Wait! You can't take her away!"

Theresa spoke up to stop her.

It's hardly a good thing that a Herrscher wants to take away a Judgment-class Honkai Beast.

If we allow the other side to act in this way, it would be tantamount to handing over a nuclear-level deterrent to them.

"I'm sorry, this is not something you can stop."

Yae Sakura gently shook her head.

"Should we kill them?"

Chi You asked.

After realizing her true identity, although she no longer harbored deep-seated hatred for Fu Hua, she also felt little affection for these humans.

After all, he almost died at the hands of these people!

"There's no need, they have other uses for them." Shaking her head, Yae Sakura's gaze swept over the various Key of Domination in the hands of the group, a slight smile appearing on her lips. "It seems you are quite satisfied with the gifts I gave you."

"Those Xuanyuan Sword, you placed them in the Nine Nether?!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua immediately realized the key point.

"This is the gift that the snake gives to Your Excellency."

Yae Sakura nodded in agreement without hesitation.

There must be a mastermind behind all the anomalies in this incident who has to take the blame.

"Your Excellency?"

Theresa looked at the people behind her with surprise on her face.

Are there really any students at St. Freya who could be associated with such an impressive-sounding name?

As for Xing, a member of the Anti-Entropy, Theresa had already subconsciously ruled her out.

"It seems you still don't understand Chiyuan's true identity."

Seeing this, Yae Sakura shook her head regretfully.

"Chiyuan?"

Theresa was stunned again.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one had ever explained to her that Fu Hua was once the Immortal Chiyuan.

"What exactly do you want to do!?"

Unable to hold back, Fu Hua clenched his fist and questioned in a deep voice.

Now she understands that Yae Sakura and the organization behind her are targeting her.

"In order to fight him, the serpent needs the power of the Lord." Yae Sakura bowed slightly and said earnestly, "That's what the serpent told me."

"Against whom?"

Fu Hua pressed for an answer.

To this question, Yae Sakura simply shook her head and said, "When the Lord needs us, the snake will be the most loyal blade in the Lord's hand."

But... not now.

What are you talking about?

Looking at Fu Hua and Yae Sakura standing facing each other, Theresa's eyes began to see stars.

Chiyuan, Lord, Snake... She didn't understand a single word.

Moreover, Fu Hua was clearly a student of St. Freya, so how did she suddenly become some kind of lord?

"When the Finality meteor falls, humanity can only fight for a sliver of hope under the leadership of the Lord." Speaking in a gentle yet solemn tone, Yae Sakura's gaze fell upon the White-haired Nun who seemed strangely familiar, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "Miss Theresa, you, all of you, including the Schicksal and Anti-Entropy behind you, ultimately know nothing of the Honkai!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Theresa and the others felt a tremendous force coming from beneath their feet, and the scene before their eyes immediately transformed into a vast sea.

It was Chi You who flung them out of the crack created by Yae Sakura.

Theresa only had time to use the chains of Judah to bind the Titan containing Himeko and land it on a reef. Theresa watched helplessly as the enormous Honkai Beasts Chiyou shrank into a black-clad girl who resembled Jilin, and then disappeared into the deep sea with Yae Sakura in an instant.

Chapter 197 Fu Hua and the Snake

"So you went through so much inside."

In the Hyperion lounge, after listening to Fu Hua, Shi Hen, and the others recount their ordeal, Theresa couldn't help but sigh.

Throughout the entire operation, she regarded Chi You as the greatest threat, and even prepared herself for the possibility that he possessed power comparable to Herrscher.

But unexpectedly... a Herrscher actually appeared in the end!

Aside from bringing back a bunch of Xuanyuan Sword whose usefulness was unknown, the Far East Branch's operation can be described as a complete failure.

Not only did they fail to defeat and eliminate Chi You, they even allowed him to fall into the hands of an extremely dangerous organization.

Thinking of this, Theresa looked at Fu Hua and asked, "Senior Chiyuan, do you still have any impression of that woman who called herself 'Kasumikage' and the so-called snake?"

Although the other party is now St. Freya's student, now that she knows Fu Hua is Shenzhou Immortal who is at least 5000 years old, how could she dare to treat the other party as an ordinary student?

"Principal, there's no need for that. Just call me Fu Hua as before."

Seeing this, Fu Hua quickly spoke, her tone extremely sincere.

She was not a pedantic person who cared about formalities, and besides... she was carrying out an undercover mission to infiltrate St. Freya!

Now that her identity has been exposed, the fact that the other party is still willing to accept her without pursuing the matter is already a great blessing for her.

It's just unknown how Otto will arrange things for her after this incident...

While thinking, Fu Hua replied, "I have never heard of that name, 'Kasumikage'."

As for snakes... in my memory, that should be an extinct species."

These things constitute all her memories now.

"But didn't the Miss Miko also say she wanted the Class President to become their sovereign?"

Kiana retorted.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the reason either."

Fu Hua gently shook her head.
