The Airheaded Goose Keeps Advancing, and a World Where Only Welt Gets Hurt (Continued)

She would not forget the danger that Welt White posed to the world and to others, but she could not deny that she had benefited from his actions.

"Oh?"

Shi Hen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The matter of the World Bubble, Mr. Siegfried's matter, and the matter in the Stigmata Space... In short, I will remember these kindnesses."

Durandal explained earnestly.

Kindness must be repaid, and revenge... will be repaid according to the circumstances; the moral bottom line of young girls has always been extremely high.

Even regarding Siegfried's matter, although she was very reluctant to see her once wise and powerful father, whom she remembered, become someone who only spent time on such matters, at least he was still alive, wasn't he?

"Heh, you don't actually think I did all this out of kindness, Durandal?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hen couldn't help but laugh.

"I know you have your own motives, but I will still remember these kindnesses."

Durandal shook her head.

She was well aware that everything Welt White did was to keep her firmly in his grasp, but she also undeniably benefited from it.

For this reason alone, she couldn't simply harbor hatred towards men.

Just as she couldn't see Otto as a pure enemy even though she knew everything he had done to her family.

"So, what price are you willing to pay for it, Schicksal's former strongest Valkyrie?"

Finally turning his head, Shi Hen asked with a smile.

"Hmm..."

Meeting the man's smiling gaze, Durandal pursed her lips and slowly said after a long while, "As long as it does not violate the principle of Anti-Honkai and does not harm other innocent people, I can accept any of your conditions."

"Oh? Does that include yourself?"

Shi Hen asked with a light laugh.

"..."

Her pupils suddenly dilated, and a red mark rapidly spread upwards from Durandal's neck. Her body trembled slightly, as if she had completely lost control.

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Durandal."

With a light laugh, Shi Hen simply snapped his fingers, and a set of ice-formed tables and chairs automatically appeared on the sand dune, with an extra cup on the side closest to the girl.

Shi Hen casually sat down in the chair and continued slowly, "Also, you don't need to overestimate yourself."

Whether you oppose me or agree with me, I have already gotten what I wanted from it.

A good villain should not give the protagonists any room to struggle.

"... What exactly do you want me to do?"

With a complicated expression, Durandal sat down opposite the man, gritted her teeth, and asked, a hint of resentment showing in her eyes.

Although she didn't trust Welt White to that extent, she was still a girl, and she naturally felt dissatisfied after hearing his overly calm attitude.

Moreover, even if she is not as strong as him, she was once the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal. Is this guy so confident that he can play her like a puppet?

What do you think this is?

Shi Hen held up one finger and asked.

Following the direction the man pointed, a thoughtful look flashed in Durandal's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she answered, "Is it the moon?"

Although the moon wasn't very full tonight, and there were plenty of exceptionally bright stars in the sky, if you followed the direction the man pointed, the moon was still the most prominent thing in that area.

"It's the sun."

Shi Hen corrected him in a matter-of-fact tone.

Durandal: "???"

It's still late at night.

"The sun and the moon are the brightest celestial bodies that humans can directly observe, and people have attributed completely opposite properties to them because of their distinctly different natures."

But ultimately, their brilliance all stems from a common source.

Shi Hen calmly explained, "Whether it's Honkai Beasts or Herrscher, these phenomena caused by Honkai seem to be worlds apart."

But in my eyes, they all reveal a very simple truth.

What is it?

Durandal instinctively pressed for an answer.

You'll find out later.

Shi Hen shook his head slightly.

People don't cherish things that are easily obtained, so he had to whet the girl's appetite first.

"..."

She pursed her lips, Durandal she wanted to hit someone but was trying her best to restrain herself.

"Durandal, what does saving the world mean to you?"

Ignoring the resentment in the girl's eyes, Shi Hen asked with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Durandal's expression immediately turned solemn, and she answered without hesitation, "Then of course it's expulsion..."

"Don't rush to answer; the answer you get right now is meaningless to me."

Shi Hen interrupted directly, his calm tone carrying an irresistible force.

"White!?"

Durandal couldn't help but whisper a sharp rebuke.

Even she would get angry if she were teased like this time and time again.

Unaffected by the girl's anger, Shi Hen sat even more comfortably, though his tone became more serious. "I once traveled to a certain place, and you must go there too."

Only when you have completed the entire journey and witnessed the final outcome of a story will you have the right to speak with me as an equal.

Although what is truly buried in the Elysian Realm is Elysia, if Durandal can reach its end, she will naturally understand the truth of Honkai Durandal.

As for whether Durandal is qualified to enter Elysian Realm... right now, the one in charge of the World Serpent is someone else!

"..."

Upon hearing this, Durandal frowned, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes. "That place?"

She still remembers that during the process of discovering the Second Divine Key, [Welt White] also showed her such a mysterious place.

It was after returning from that place that the other side truly established their terrifying plan to destroy the world and then reshape it.

However, in the World Bubble's deduction, [Welt White] only vaguely mentioned this and did not show her the full picture.

And now, she can finally witness the truth of that place?

You'll see when you get there.

Shi Hen smiled and said, "Trust me, you'll really like it there."

In the Elysian Realm, there are thirteen Flame-Chasers with distinct styles, and anyone can find one they like among them.

Of course, there are a few people who will like them all.

"If I can do what you say, you'll tell me everything?"

Durandal pressed for an answer.

"I will show you everything if you can unlock the deepest secret hidden there."

Shi Hen said with a light laugh.

When Durandal has truly completed her Elysian Realm, her Finality will come.

If you ask him why he can calculate time so precisely... the answer is the unspoken special relationship between him and Elysia.

Even if the landing site of the Herrscher of Erosion is wrong, he can adjust the opening time of the Eternal Elysian Realm by contacting Elysia.

Therefore, he was not lying.

Is this really true?

Unable to resist asking, Durandal's eyes revealed obvious doubt.

Despite believing what Welt White had shown in the World Bubble, she still found many suspicious points in his actions so far.

Especially in their attitude towards Herrscher.

Although it once brought Raiden Mei and Wendy to the brink of death, the other party seemed to have just hit a certain critical point.

Moreover, even though Raiden Mei had clearly grown into a complete Herrscher of Thunder, [Welt White] seemed to have suddenly lost interest in her and very leniently chose to let her go.

Well, even according to what she knew, it was the Hyperion that suddenly appeared and used the Moonlight Throne Hyperion repel Welt White.

Having witnessed the true power of the other party, Durandal did not believe that the weapon developed by Anti-Entropy could make the man back down.

Undoubtedly, it was just a performance by Welt White, a mere act to...

Thinking of this, Durandal's eyes sharpened, and she hurriedly asked, "That boy named Shi Hen, he's still alive, isn't he!?"

"Hehe...

Even now that you're here, are you still thinking about other people?

Shi Hen chuckled softly.

This behavior, which does not change their kind nature because of their environment, is what he admires most about these girls.

"I just feel that since you've already staked your bets on that child, you won't give up so easily."

He shook his head and explained, Durandal's heart couldn't help but jump.

Although she believed in her understanding of [Welt White], it was still just a guess until she received his confirmation.

"I will appreciate and cherish every seed that can sprout and bloom, but if they are not of great use, I will not mind removing them from the flowerbed."

Just like that Herrscher of Reason also inherited the name of Welt.

He said with a smile, Shi Hen tone incredibly candid.

There is no mercy whatsoever for a villain like Welt White.

Every gift from fate comes with a price.

The villain's sudden show of goodwill can only be for a greater, more ambitious benefit.

This is a basic quality of a villain.

"You..."

In an instant, the man's numerous crimes came to mind, Durandal clenched her fists involuntarily. "You clearly had other ways to achieve your goal, why did you choose to use this method!?"

"If you want to stop me, then show me your absolute strength."

The World Serpent is a place that values power.

"If you can defeat me, then the position of Lord will naturally belong to you."

Looking at the girl who was furious, Shi Hen's tone remained as nonchalant as ever.

He wondered if he had been too lenient with the Penguin; how could the other party still think that Welt White was a good person?

"Does that include you!?"

Angered, she pressed for an answer, and the sin on Durandal's chest trembled violently.

"Forehead..."

Looking at the girl who was clearly furious, Shi Hen felt that something was wrong.

But adhering to the principle of prioritizing his public image, Shi Hen immediately chuckled and said, "As long as you have the ability..."

"..."

Sensing the sarcasm in the man's tone, Durandal didn't say anything, but simply glared at him fiercely.

She has always preferred practical actions to verbal exchanges.

Bang!
