Herrscher of Sentience Is Always Exceptionally Clever
"It is I who have tarnished the honor of the Schariac Family..."
Anna argued in a low voice.
The Schariac Family, whose mission has always been to Anti-Honkai the Honkai, and whose members mostly die on the battlefield, has surprisingly produced an Apostle of the Honkai among their descendants.
This is a resounding slap in the face for anyone who takes pride in the Schariac, shattering the Schariac Family's millennia-long glory.
"But in my opinion, Anna, you are the one who truly deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lady Cecilia and is the glory of the Schariac."
Shaking his head, Shi Hen's tone remained unwavering. "I have always believed that power is neither good nor bad; what truly determines its use is always the human heart."
Just like the Honkai Energy we use, it would also become the culprit that causes Honkai disasters and kills countless people in other places.
Therefore, the power of the Herrscher should be the same thing; it is righteous when used for good, and evil when used for evil.
"The Shi Hen Alliance Leader?"
Looking up at the boy, Anna was momentarily stunned.
"As the third-generation leader of Anti-Entropy, I have gained the trust of many Herrscher. My words should carry more weight than those of the Schariac Family, right?"
Shi Hen asked with a smile, his slightly narrowed eyes full of tenderness.
"Alliance Leader Shi Hen..."
Anna instinctively reached out to the boy, but then shook her head and stopped herself. "I... I saw many people affected by the Honkai and in dire need of rescue when the Manila Honkai Outbreak two years ago."
But at that time, I was only concerned with saving my own life, abandoning the mission I was supposed to bear.
"I know."
Shi Hen smiled and replied, his eyes full of understanding.
"I should have gone to save them!"
Many of them would have survived if it weren't for me!
Anna said in an almost self-destructive tone.
"But now you are using your own power to save more people."
Shi Hen shook his head and said, "A truly brave warrior will never be defeated by the past."
But this does not mean that we should forget the mistakes of the past.
On the contrary, we should remember the past and take responsibility for it.
And in my opinion, Anna, you've already done that.
Without this sense of responsibility, the girl wouldn't have remembered the events of Manila Honkai Outbreak.
"So, just like I said before, I will always support you, Anna."
Looking directly into the girl's eyes, Shi Hen spoke earnestly, word by word.
"..."
Startled by these words, Anna's face immediately broke into a smile. "Alliance Leader Shi Hen is really cheating, always saying things like that to me..."
In that case, wouldn't she have no choice but to fully reciprocate the other person's trust?
"Is Anna feeling any better now?"
Shi Hen asked with a smile, his eyes still kind and gentle.
"Has the Shi Hen Alliance Leader already noticed this?"
Unable to contain her surprise, Anna asked, a secret thrill rising within her.
"I've said it before. As Herrscher, you are a valuable asset in the Anti-Honkai."
And I also hope that you can find happiness as Anna.
Shi Hen shook his head slightly and said.
Having managed to entice Anna to Anti-Entropy, he would at least show some concern for the girl's mental state.
"And this inspection?"
Anna's gaze swept over the now dimly lit camp, a clear look of bewilderment in her eyes.
Contrary to her the First expectations of an inspection, the boy did not bring her here specifically to examine the working conditions of the Anti-Entropy personnel.
Instead, the boy worked alongside her as a staff member at the camp, preparing dinners for the people in the refugee camp and playing with the children in the camp...
This is clearly not something an Anti-Entropy Leader and a Herrscher should do.
"What we are doing today may not even be a big deal in the grand scheme of humanity's Anti-Honkai."
But I believe that these things are by no means meaningless.
The small acts of kindness we pass on may blossom into even more miracles in the future.
Looking up at the half-moon in the sky, Shi Hen said leisurely, "Moreover, I have always believed that maintaining people's positive and optimistic attitude is just as important as eliminating the Honkai."
"Alliance Leader Shi Hen..."
Staring blankly at the boy, Anna's mind drifted to the smiling faces of the ragged children, and she felt she was beginning to understand the meaning of "good" in the phrase "for all that is good in the world."
It's not necessarily about defeating a certain number of Honkai Beasts or rescuing a certain number of lives from the disaster area...
Sometimes, what we call "good" can actually be very simple.
"Anna, could you lower the temperature in the camp a little?"
Given the conditions of this campsite, many people probably won't get a good night's sleep.
Shi Hen said with a smile.
"Yes, Alliance Leader Shi Hen."
Anna showed no impatience at this attempt to use the power of the frozen sea as a giant air conditioner; instead, she revealed an eager expression.
"Call--"
With her cheeks puffed out, Anna blew a strong breath toward the sky, and several ice crystals immediately flew into the night, followed by a chill that enveloped the entire camp.
Seeing the girl's somewhat pretentious posture, Shi Hen couldn't help but shake his head and reveal a faint smile.
After all, Anna is only eighteen years old this year, which is the perfect time for her to shine.
"Alliance Leader Shi Hen!"
Before the bright smile on her face had faded, Anna turned to look at the boy beside her.
"Um?"
He blinked, a perfectly timed Shi Hen of confusion on his face.
"Thank you!"
Anna looked directly into the boy's eyes and spoke in an extremely serious tone.
"I should be Anna you, Anna. Thank you for trusting me."
Shi Hen said with a smile.
"It is I who should thank Alliance Leader Shi Hen."
Shaking her head seriously, Anna then asked before the boy could object, "Next time... can we inspect like we did today?"
As she spoke softly, a rabbit-like anticipation flickered in Anna's bright eyes.
Meeting the girl's hopeful gaze, Shi Hen nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes."
And it's not just this kind of inspection; flowers, desserts, gentle breezes... he will slowly guide the girl to discover all the beauty in the world.
Only when Anna genuinely loves this world and is determined to fight for it can the other party truly be qualified to ascend.
"Um."
Unaware of what the boy was thinking, Anna nodded happily, her blue eyes sparkling like stars.
Chapter 135 A Master of Recognizing Schariac
Shenzhou, Mount Tai Xu.
"Mmm~ I slept so well, today is a new day."
Fu Hua groggily awoke from a blue stone atop the mountain, stretched lazily, and looked up at the clear blue sky. She grinned and exclaimed, "Old fogey, what time is it? Tell me the time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Hua, dressed as Immortal Chiyuan, immediately appeared.
Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge was treating her like an intelligent butler, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh helplessly, but still honestly replied, "According to the time zone of Shenzhou, it is already 10:30."
"Did I sleep for that long? No wonder I feel more tired the more I sleep lately."
Fu Hua scratched the soles of her feet and exclaimed in surprise.
"..."
Watching the Herrscher of Knowledge tickle her feet and then sniff her fingers carefully, Fu Hua paused slightly before looking away and letting out a long sigh. "What exactly are you planning to do? You've been staying at Mount Tai Xu for almost half a month now."
After nearly being discovered while trying to freeload at Anti-Entropy, she and the Herrscher of Knowledge ended up at Mount Tai Xu.
Furthermore, since there are still many feathers left behind by Feather of Dust when she stripped away her memories on Mount Tai Xu, the Herrscher of Knowledge conceived the idea of collecting the feathers and staying on Mount Tai Xu.
But as the search for the remaining feathers became increasingly difficult, the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly gave up on the task, much like a child with only a three-minute burst of enthusiasm. Instead, he inexplicably became dejected on Mount Tai Xu, spending his days eating and sleeping, only occasionally practicing boxing or stretching his muscles when the mood struck him.
If it weren't for the fact that the worldview wouldn't allow it, Fu Hua believed that the Herrscher of Knowledge would definitely be covered in lush, high-quality grass.
I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business!
Faced with Fu Hua's nagging, Fu Hua immediately waved her hand and said in a tone full of impatience.
"..."
Upon seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge in this state, Fu Hua, who was already well-versed in how to get along with him, immediately fell silent and looked around to admire the scenery of Mount Tai Xu.
For a moment, only silence and the chirping of summer insects flowed between the two.
After a while, seeing Fu Hua seemingly lost in the scenery of Mount Tai Xu, Fu Hua couldn't help but scratch his head.
Even if she doesn't let Yu Feather of Dust with her, surely he wouldn't really remain completely silent?
On this vast Mount Tai Xu, there are only two living beings. Doesn't Feather of Dust feel bored at all?
Hey! You old fogey!
Why haven't Shi Hen and his gang come looking for us yet?
Fu Hua finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked.
She was getting tired of spending all her time with Feather of Dust, who insisted that he was Fu Hua.
If she doesn't find some new fun to do soon, she feels like she's about to grow weeds.
"Did you tell them you were on Mount Tai Xu?"
Fu Hua calmly analyzed the situation.
"That seems to make sense."
Fu Hua stroked her chin thoughtfully, then suddenly stomped her foot, "Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Putting aside the facts, even if I hadn't said anything, wouldn't they have come looking for me on their own?
"I am an immortal who has protected the Shenzhou for thousands of years. If everything needs to be explained clearly, then what's the point of having them?"
"..."
Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge start making a ruckus like a spoiled child, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. "So, what are you planning to do this time?"
Although there was no malicious intent on their part, the other party was, after all, a Herrscher, and could cause enormous damage to humans with just a few gestures.
"Hmph! You old fogey, do you know why you always insist that you are Fu Hua?"
Looking at Feather of Dust, Fu Hua asked, a wise glint in her eyes.
"Have no idea."
Fu Hua honestly shook his head and obediently played the straight man.
"That's because you haven't seen enough people lately!"
Extending a finger and waving it in the air, Fu Hua's lips curled into a smug smile. "You're already severely damaged, your mind isn't very sharp, and you're always immersed in your own fantasies, so of course you won't recognize your true position."
