Since Yae Sakura is a righteous character, then Gray Serpent can naturally be redeemed as well.

[Welt White] is the villainous boss who will fight against the world all by himself.

"You are too arrogant. The position of the sovereign is not something you can covet."

Yae Sakura continued reciting her lines.

"Then let me see if you have the right to stop me!"

With a smile, Shi Hen conjured a Silver-white Bat in his hand.

Fighting with your own people means you don't have to worry about revealing your Soul Steel body in close combat.

There's no way around it; even if it looks no different from a normal body, once a real fight breaks out, the Soul Steel Body is still very different from a flesh and blood body.

Compared to his original body, this Soul Steel body was as fragile as a toy, and it could even creak when squeezed.

Seeing [Welt White] in a fighting stance before her, Yae Sakura took a deep breath, long fox ears sprouting from her head, and said, "[Kasumikage], executive of the Serpent Organization, reporting for duty!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yae Sakura and Shi Hen transformed into two streaks of light and shot into the sky. Brilliant lightning and dazzling white light flashed at the same time, and an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation was released in an instant.

Upon seeing the heavy, gathering clouds high in the sky and feeling the terrifying aura that seemed to threaten the destruction of the world, Kiana and the others couldn't help but tremble.

Although it wasn't the first time they'd seen it, the power of [Welt White] was still terrifying.

If Yae Sakura hadn't intervened in time, perhaps none of them would have escaped that guy's clutches.

With a sigh in their hearts, the girls quickly took the barely breathing boy away, Seele also summoned her White Scythe to keep the boy alive.

Yes, the injuries are so severe that Seele's limited milk supply is useless; only proper medical treatment can help the boy recover.

Meanwhile, deep underground at the Central Cathedral of St. Freya, Theresa finally encountered the intruders.

"On one hand, you sent [Welt White] to infiltrate St. Freya, and on the other hand, you infiltrated this place yourselves. What exactly are you Anti-Entropy plotting!?"

Seeing Cocolia and Einstein appear before her, Theresa angrily demanded an answer.

Although there has always been a claim within Schicksal that Welt White, the Anti-Entropy Leader, is merely a figurehead, the fact that both the conservative and radical leaders of Anti-Entropy- Entropy have appeared here at the same time clearly means that such rumors cannot be believed.

Besides the Anti-Entropy Leader, who else can unite two factions to act together?

"Wait! You said [Welt White] is in St. Freya right now?"

They exchanged a glance, and both Cocolia and Einstein saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Only then did they realize that the situation was likely out of their control.

"You... don't know?"

Upon seeing this, Theresa was also taken aback.

They don't even know what their own alliance leader is doing. What are these guys even here for?

At this very moment, Durandal was still riding a horse... no, she was flying at full speed in her Bright Knight: Excelsis. Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie had already arrived near St. Freya.

Only...

Looking at the flashes of lightning that occasionally appeared in the thick dark clouds ahead, Durandal blinked, a look of confusion on her face.

Why is this guy fighting with Welt Herrscher of Thunder again?

Chapter 207 Otto, the Fox Woman, and Durandal

"Eastern Yokai Fox?"

Breaking through the heavy clouds on the outside and entering the battlefield, Durandal was stunned to see the pink-haired woman fighting fiercely with [Welt White]... no, it should be said that she saw those particularly striking long fox ears.

[Eastern Yokai Fox] has been the final boss of more than ten installments of the Kallen Fantasy series, so she is certainly familiar with this character, but... shouldn't this be a fantasy character?

"Durandal? You've come at the right time." With a flick of his baseball bat, Shi Hen knocked Yae Sakura away and looked at the strongest Valkyrie who had finally arrived. His tone was as friendly as if he were seeing a long-lost old friend. "If the two of us work together to capture this traitor, then after we've done it, just hand over the Seven Thunders of Sin's Purge to me, and you can let Schicksal deal with this traitor as you see fit."

Durandal: "..."

Don't be so casual right from the start. Are they really that close?

Upon hearing Welt White's words, Yae Sakura paused, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at Durandal.

"Wait! What on earth is going on?"

With one hand on her forehead, Durandal's face was full of confusion.

Can anyone tell her why the person fighting [Welt White] is a Herrscher wielding the Divine Key?

And... why is Welt White Herrscher now too!?

Even though their appearances remained the same, Durandal could clearly sense that the current [Welt White] was completely different from the one she had met last time, and was undoubtedly Herrscher.

"The reason is completely irrelevant to you, isn't it?" Shi Hen said with a smile, showing no intention of explaining to the girl. "As the Valkyrie of Schicksal, shouldn't you prioritize carrying out that Bishop Sir's orders?"

"By order of His Bishop Sir, I should now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Durandal heard a voice in her earpiece:

"Durandal, mission objective changed. Prioritize capturing that Eastern Yokai Fox!"

No matter the cost, we must not let that woman fall into the hands of the Anti-Entropy Leader!

Although Shi Hen and Yae Sakura unleashed most of their power to create the illusion of a fierce battle around them, the influence of the Seven Thunders of Sin's Purge on the environment was ultimately no match for that of Herrscher of Thunder.

Even with St. Freya as a transit point, Durandal was still able to maintain real-time communication with the Schicksal HQ.

"???"

Upon hearing Otto's command over the communication channel, Durandal was startled.

Just what does that guy know?!

Her gaze fell upon [Welt White], and even through the mask Durandal could feel the mocking smile on his face.

"Your Bishop Sir, I don't understand!"

Unable to hold back her clenched fists, Durandal said in a deep voice.

Although she didn't know exactly what was happening here, she could sense that [Welt White] was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Even though they are both Herrscher and both possess a Divine Key, the fox-eared woman is clearly less dangerous than [Welt White].

At a time like this, shouldn't we be joining forces with that fox-eared woman to fight against [Welt White]?

"This concerns the core interests of the Schicksal, you don't need to know too much."

On the other end of the communication, Otto simply spoke calmly.

"..."

There was no reply, Durandal's expression gradually darkened.

She understood that when Otto said such things, she wouldn't be able to get any more information from him.

"See, Kasumi? I told you long ago, this world may be vast, but there's no place for you anymore." As if anticipating the words of the strongest Valkyrie and the Schicksal Bishop on the communication channel, Shi Hen turned his gaze to Yae Sakura, his hoarse voice filled with an incomparably arrogant laugh, "You, who are resented by the Schicksal Bishop, can only find a place to stay among snakes!"

Even though she wore a fox mask to conceal her face, her distinctive fox ears were enough for Otto to confirm Yae Sakura's identity.

Similarly, knowing the details of Kallen's defection five hundred years ago, Otto was able to determine from Yae Sakura's Herrscher state that she was in a symbiotic relationship with the Herrscher of Erosion.

On one side is the formidable enemy [Welt White] who threatens Schicksal, and on the other is a rival who has been etched in his mind for five hundred years and who Herrscher of Erosion. Even Shi Hen could tell what Otto would choose.

How could a mere [Welt White] possibly stop the Honkai World's number one Pure Love War God's determination to slay the Minotaur Fox?

"Hmm..."

As if she had also realized her own predicament, Yae Sakura's gaze lingered between the white-haired man and the golden-haired girl several times. She couldn't help but clench her teeth, and her lower face, which was not covered by the mask, revealed obvious resentment.

"Come, Durandal!"

This time, I allow you to fight alongside me!

Shi Hen stretched out a hand to the girl and called out with a smile.

But when faced with Welt White's invitation, Durandal merely flicked her lance, her doll-like face turning icy, and said, "His Bishop Sir me to stop you!"

Since she doesn't want Yae Sakura to fall into the hands of [Welt White], it's perfectly reasonable for her to choose to join forces with him, right?

Sensing the intense fighting spirit surging from the girl, Shi Hen was momentarily stunned as if he hadn't expected it, then put a hand to his forehead and let out a wild laugh:

Hahaha~

Durandal, you've learned to disobey orders too, huh?

But... who do you think I am?!

Since accepting the name Welt, I have climbed step by step, and finally arrived at where I am today.

Times have changed, Durandal.

Now, I am the complete Anti-Entropy Leader, the complete First Herrscher, the complete... Welt!

Shouting loudly, Shi Hen, unleashing the aura of the Herrscher of Reason from his body.

"The First Herrscher..."

Upon seeing the comparison results from the Honkai Energy detector, and the Honkai Energy intensity that broke through 5000HW in an instant, Durandal's expression couldn't help but darken slightly.

Herrscher have always been monsters with extremely high destructive power, not to mention that the one who wields this power now is a monster-level individual like Welt White.

"Be careful, Bai has already defeated the previous Anti-Entropy Leader and completely seized the Herrscher power from him."

"Move closer to Durandal, "Yae Sakura kindly reminded her.

"I understand." Nodding slightly, Durandal glanced at Yae Sakura, then smiled. "My name is Durandal, Bianca Durandal Attagina."

Since they were teammates who would be fighting together, she was willing to show them some goodwill.

Nodding slightly, Yae Sakura smiled and said, "I am Yae Sakura, you can also call me by my code name—[Kasumikage]."

Although she didn't know the specific reason, she felt a lot of affection for this girl, as if she had known her for many years.

Therefore, she was willing to reveal her real name.

Furthermore, the boy had also said that he hoped to maintain a good relationship with the girl.

As she thought about it, Yae Sakura couldn't help but glance at the white-haired man in the distance, a hint of fear flashing through her mind.

Everything that has happened tonight has been exactly as the other party predicted, as if... this boy really has some kind of script in his hands.

Chapter 208 Durandal and the Herrscher of Reason Boy

"Let's go!"

With Durandal's Bright Knight: Excelsis's thrusters suddenly unleashed a large number of high-energy particles, resembling two pairs of blue wings of light, instantly transforming the girl's figure into a blue meteor.

His figure also retreated rapidly backwards. Shi Hen looked at the golden-haired girl who was closing the distance and smiled, "Durandal, have you ever seen the stars twinkle?"

As he spoke, a deep blue Star of Eden instantly materialized in Shi Hen's hand and shot out, causing the air to tremble wherever it passed.

Even in terms of size alone, Star of Eden is less than half the size of a basketball, but under the influence of the law of gravity, the gravity on Star of Eden is no less than that of a real meteorite.

With a slight pause, Durandal gripped the Black Abyss White Flower and forcefully deflected the Star of Eden that was hurtling down like a meteor.

But as soon as she pushed one of the Star of Eden away, Durandal's gaze fell upon a second blue star shooting towards her.

Boom--

A flash of lightning appeared as Yae Sakura drew her sword to meet the second star.

Arcs of electricity emanated from the Seven Thunders of Sin's Purge, Yae Sakura remained locked in a stalemate for several seconds before flicking her katana to deflect the Star of Eden.

In terms of power, Yae Sakura, who has already been promoted to Herrscher, is still far inferior to Durandal.

"Be careful, Miss Durandal. White has a high core adaptability to the Herrscher of Reason."

With a slightly somber expression, Yae Sakura reminded him.

After all, strictly speaking, Shi Hen does not control the core's power from the outside.

By projecting his consciousness onto the core of the Herrscher of Reason, he completely controlled the external Soul Steel body through the Herrscher Core.

So in a sense, the current Shi Hen is still using his mind to control two Herrscher Core with very different properties at the same time.

Only in this way can he suppress the fluctuations belonging to the Void Herrscher Core to the lowest level, and only show the characteristics of the Herrscher of Reason Core to the outside world.
