The White-Haired Dumpling Outwits the Herrscher of the Void; the White-Clad Boy Is Still Plotting
"..."
She couldn't help but smile, the curve of Seele lips softening considerably.
"Miss Seele, be careful! A new enemy has appeared at the one o'clock position!"
Suddenly, Rita's exclamation rang out on the communication channel.
Following Rita's directions, Seele quickly saw a figure in black robes rushing in under the cover of a mecha, moving at a speed that was no less than Wendy's.
Yes, with the strong support of a certain young man behind the scenes, the mechanization of Night Owl uses top-notch technology and materials, far superior to the junk that would explode with gold coins in the original timeline due to mere low-temperature environments.
With the support of World Serpent's advanced technology, regardless of Night Owl's actual combat strength, her physical attributes are still no less than any A-rank Valkyrie.
Unaware of the reasons behind this, Seele dared not lower her guard against this unfamiliar enemy. With a wave of her hand, she summoned dozens of vines to pursue them.
"Tsk!"
Glancing at the countless vines around him that seemed to be alive, Night Owl frowned and hurled several specially made grenades with a wave of his hands.
Boom--
Amidst the deafening explosion, an incredibly powerful shockwave instantly spread, causing the vines to slow their advance for a moment.
Daring not to linger for even a moment, Night Owl disregarded the fact that he too would be affected by the explosion, and instead used the shockwave to accelerate his movements, quickly shaking off the vines' pursuit.
It'll be soon!
We'll be there soon!
Seeing the white glacier so close at hand, Night Owl's heart immediately became excited.
Sizzle~
But just a second later, out of the corner of his eye, Night Owl caught a glimpse of a streak of crimson lightning that was about to strike.
After Seele's attempt to stop her failed, Mei naturally stepped in.
Knowing the terrifying power of this Herrscher of Thunder, Night Owl raised his left arm without hesitation, and five layers of energy shields instantly appeared.
Unfortunately, despite their combined thickness being comparable to solid steel plates, these energy shields were as fragile as paper in the face of the Herrscher of Thunder's sharpness.
Bang--
With a crisp sound, the five energy shields were instantly destroyed, and one of the Night Owl's arms was also instantly turned into dust.
But as she watched the gray-haired man, who had been only a hair's breadth away from her blade, speed away, Mei's expression immediately darkened.
To avoid affecting Kiana, she tried to confine her power to a very small range.
But this small change gave Night Owl a chance to escape death.
Dozens of meters away, although her clothes were tattered from the explosion and the Herrscher of Thunder's attack, revealing large areas of her charred steel body, Night Owl already had one foot within Kiana's ability's range.
"Raiden Mei, you are now my general."
Looking at the terrifying Herrscher of Thunder resembled a suppressed volcano, Night Owl's lips curled into a wanton smile, and he spoke in a slightly painful, hoarse voice, as an ominous and gloomy purple light emanated from Honkai Energy Reactor on his chest.
"Night Owl! What exactly are you trying to do!?"
Upon recognizing the gray-haired man's true identity, Mei's expression darkened, and her eyes instantly flashed with a thunderous light symbolizing her rage.
If we consider the current state of the Ice Herrscher as a barrel filled with gunpowder, then the Honkai Energy Reactor on Night Owl's body is an extremely dazzling spark, which can cause the Honkai to erupt prematurely with just a small disturbance.
"As for what I want to do... let's leave that to the Anti-Entropy Leader, you, to discuss."
Night Owl grinned and tapped the Honkai Energy Reactor on his chest with his remaining right hand.
"Then tell me why you've come."
"You stole so many Anti-Entropy Mecha, and even risked your life for them—what is your purpose?!"
With a burst of speed, Mei's side and questioned her in Shi Hen deep voice, a hint of subtle admiration flashing in his eyes as he glanced at the gray-haired man.
Being able to seize the few loopholes in Anti-Entropy and the Schicksal Project is a testament to the value of his cultivation of Night Owl.
Meeting the boy's cold gaze, Night Owl smiled slightly and said, "My goal is simple: just make sure everyone on your side, except for the Void Herrscher, stays away from Anna."
Of course, you, the Anti-Entropy Leader, don't need to do that.
After all, I'm also very afraid that you'll kill the hostage without hesitation.
According to the intelligence he obtained, compared to the people on Coral Island, a certain Anti-Entropy Leader was the one who would truly make these Herrscher hesitate to act against him.
"That's impossible!"
Before the boy could answer, Mei rejected the idea without hesitation.
For her, saving the people on the Coral Island was important, but she also didn't want the boy to fall into danger.
"Your goal is the Ice Herrscher?"
Shi Hen frowned and asked.
"Night Owl is also a member of World Serpent, and... he's one of Welt White's people."
As Mei explained to the boy, Mei gaze towards Night Owl grew even colder. "Is this also what [Welt White] meant?"
"... Hahaha~"
Faced with their questions, Night Owl paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Raiden Mei, sometimes I really envy you."
Even in a place like the World Serpent, there will still be people who will take care of you and prevent you from coming into contact with the deepest darkness.
Judging from your current state, you probably didn't receive any orders at all, did you?
"What do you mean!?"
Upon hearing this, Mei frowned immediately.
You'll find out later.
Shaking his head without offering an explanation, Night Owl looked directly at the boy in front of him. "Make your choice, Anti-Entropy Leader."
"Do you want an Ice Herrscher, or the lives of 1.2 million people on Coral Island?!"
As he spoke, Night Owl pointed to the Honkai Energy Reactor on his body.
"Mark..."
Mei couldn't help but grasp the boy's hand.
If we do as Night Owl says, then the only people appearing on the other battlefield will be Kiana and the boy.
After the Honkai 3rd, even if Kiana has multiple Herrscher Core within her, she won't have much power left.
In other words, they have undoubtedly handed over the Ice Herrscher!
"Mei, please!"
Faced with the girl's concerned gaze, Shi Hen's eyes did not waver in the slightest.
For a decent person, the lives of the people are undoubtedly the top priority at all times.
Moreover, he had worked very hard to bring about this situation.
If he doesn't find an excuse to exclude Bronya and the others, how can he take the opportunity to... cough cough, to influence the Herrscher with love?
We can't really let Anna get ganged up on by a group of senior Herrscher, can we?
That's really inappropriate.
"..."
Meeting the boy's earnest gaze, Mei did not answer, her expression as cold and hard as an iceberg.
"Please, Mei."
Shi Hen shook the girl's hand and winked at her.
Understanding the boy's meaning in an instant, Mei struggled for a moment, but eventually slowly let go of his hand.
Having already dealt with Mei, Bronya, Seele, and the others naturally posed no obstacle to the boy.
"Mark?"
Kiana also noticed the changes in the boy, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
"Kiana, later you..."
Giving the white-haired girl a reassuring look, Shi Hen whispered in the girl's ear, his expression immediately turning serious, "So, can you do it?"
A qualified leader would lose a lot of points if he were completely led by the enemy.
Therefore, figuring out how to maximize benefits while protecting hostages is a very challenging task.
"I will definitely do it!"
Kiana glanced at Mei, who was quickly disappearing into the distance with Bronya, and nodded with utmost seriousness.
Even if that Night Owl truly represents the will of [Welt White], it doesn't mean they have to keep backing down.
To do everything in her power to save every possible life was a shared will between her and the boy.
Under the scrutinizing gaze of the Night Owl and the concerned look of the boy beside her, the golden light in Kiana's hand, symbolizing the power of the Void Herrscher, quickly became dazzling and blazing.
Before long, when the light was so dazzling that it could almost separate the two worlds, a crimson bolt of lightning suddenly shot up and crashed into them like a falling meteorite.
With a sudden tremor, the golden light, along with the vast glacier stretching for over ten miles, vanished from the Coral Island, leaving behind only a strikingly large crater, as if some force had ripped a piece of the earth away.
Chapter 110 The white-haired girl Outwits the Queen of the Void, the White Boy Still Laying Out His Plans
"Hiss~"
When Kiana came to her senses from a sudden wave of dizziness, she realized that she felt as if she had reached the two extreme points of the earth, with endless, cold white as far as the eye could see.
Where am I?
She murmured to herself, then realized a familiar figure was missing from beside her. A look of panic flashed across Kiana's face. "Hen! Hen, are you there!?"
As soon as she spoke, Kiana felt the scene before her change, and she found herself back in the water dungeon where she had last met the Void Herrscher.
Only...
Kiana glanced at her cramped cell and her brow twitched. "Void Herrscher, you..."
As she spoke, the girl gripped the railing with one hand, ready to tear the purely decorative railing to shreds in the next second.
Don't you want to know what happened?
Donning her familiar Void Herrscher, Sirin asked with an air of queenly arrogance.
"..."
Kiana paused abruptly as she was about to tear through the railing. After a few seconds of contemplation, she asked, "What exactly happened just now?"
The transfer of the Ice Herrscher and the Honkai had already exhausted all her energy, leaving her with no time to pay attention to her surroundings.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have let the boy get separated from her.
"Is this how you beg me?"
"Sirin said with a slight smile."
Click~
The railing was instantly torn open.
"..."
Looking at the white-haired girl with a somber expression, resembling an enraged lion, Sirin unconsciously swallowed.
"Ha, what an impolite fellow."
While complaining, Sirin obediently continued to explain, "Kiana, should I say you're too confident or too arrogant?"
They actually dared to try and obstruct God's will?
"If that's all you have to say, then there's nothing more for us to talk about."
Kiana said coldly, her gaze towards the Void Herrscher devoid of any warmth.
Even though they had a brief collaboration on transferring the Ice Herrscher, she was still mostly wary of Sirin.
Don't you want to know what happened to that human?
Despite trembling slightly under the angry gaze of the white-haired girl, Sirin stubbornly continued.
