The Crimson Sakura's Bond / The Miko of the Demon Blade

Upon hearing the word "lieutenant general, "Bronya's voice suddenly became heavier.

Among the military personnel deployed by Anti-Entropy in the Far East, the highest rank is only a general, and there is only one of them.

"No. I'm just going to learn about battlefield command and things like that."

Shaking his head, Shi Hen explained.

From a pure mech pilot to a battlefield commander, this shows that Anti-Entropy's training direction for him has gradually changed.

This is a high-level promotion path leading to the top of the Anti-Entropy hierarchy.

To truly advance to the top levels of an organization, brute force alone is far from sufficient; intelligence and vision are equally important.

"I see." Bronya nodded in understanding, then added, "Congratulations."

She understood that this was a promotion for the boy.

Once he has enough seniority, Shi Hen will probably be awarded the rank of Major General.

The other party is the captain of the Team Seven, but he has never been just the captain of the Team Seven.

"..."

Seeing the gray-haired girl say those words with a blank expression, Shi Hen felt extremely distressed.

After thinking for a moment, the boy turned his gaze to the blue-haired girl beside him. "Seele, smile."

"Huh?" Completely unprepared for the attention to fall on her, Seele was taken aback at first, then hesitated before giving a smile. "Is... that so?"

"Um."

Shi Hen nodded, feeling instantly relieved.

Indeed, congratulatory words should be paired with a young girl's smile.

"..."

Looking up at the boy who had suddenly acted foolishly, a glint flashed in Bronya's eyes.

Chapter 106 The Restraint of the Scarlet Cherry Blossom

Midnight in Changkong City.

Standing atop the teaching building of the Senba Academy, Shi Hen gazed at the campus shrouded in night, a sense of melancholy rising within him.

Many years later, when the girls look back and want to find a significant turning point in this story, they will probably all choose Senba Academy.

In the impending disaster, the fates of all of them will be altered, though none of them are aware of this yet.

But it doesn't matter, Shi Hen will pave the way for them.

Everyone will have an incredibly bright future.

This is a promise from a Behind-the-Scenes Boss.

The cold night wind howled and raged, causing the boy's hair to grow longer and whiter, revealing a white Miko Robe and White Masks.

The young man from Anti-Entropy, [Shi Hen], is currently interning on the northern battlefield, and the one who appears here is naturally the Anti-Entropy Leader.

After all, the lieutenant general who commanded the battlefield was a member of World Serpent.

Furthermore, Shi Hen specially dispatched an elite member of the organization who was skilled in disguise and makeup to impersonate him in order to avoid any unexpected situations.

Aside from the inability to pilot the mech, the opponent is capable of handling most situations.

He had even spoken to the three little ones beforehand to avoid any slip-ups.

After carefully reviewing the situation and confirming that all the arrangements were in place, Shi Hen raised his hand slightly. Circles of semi-transparent ripples spread outward from him, as if... something that did not belong to this world wanted to enter, causing even the space to ripple.

In an instant, Kiana's rented apartment, ME Company headquarters... anywhere in Changkong City equipped with Honkai Energy detectors received this fluctuation and immediately issued an alarm.

But before anyone could take action, the fluctuation vanished quickly, as if it were all just an illusion.

Inside the rented room, Kiana struggled to open her eyes, glanced at her phone which had been beeping briefly before falling silent again, hesitated for a few seconds, and then finally struggled to get out of bed.

Despite the possibility that her phone was broken, how could she sleep peacefully at the thought that something might be Honkai and spreading somewhere?

She needs to inspect the target location at least once before she can be completely at ease.

At ME Company headquarters, Bronya, having received the alarm, was also quickly awakened from her sleep.

Is there Honkai disaster?

No, the duration of the alarm is mismatched unless the disaster was dealt with the moment it occurred.

Looking at the alarm information on the screen, the girl immediately made a judgment.

But... I should still get it checked out.

Bronya glanced at the words "Senba Academy" on the information and immediately became alert.

She had been at the Senba Academy for several days, but she still hadn't found what Shi Hen was investigating, which made her secretly anxious.

Hopefully, this time I'll gain something.

With that in mind, Bronya first sent an email to Shi Hen explaining the situation briefly, and then got up and knocked on the door of the dormitory next door.

After several months of working together, she gradually adapted to this team collaboration model.

It must be admitted that, provided teammates don't drag you down, this mode is indeed better than going it alone.

On the other side, feeling the Honkai Energy fluctuations that he couldn't completely suppress, Shi Hen felt quite helpless.

There was no other way; if he wanted to find another hidden Stigmata Space, he had to first summon the power of his own Stigmata Space.

Only under such spatial opposition can he find that unique point hidden in the present world.

But in doing so, the commotion could no longer be concealed.

Oh well, it was Welt White who caused all this trouble anyway, so what does it have to do with him?

He's currently interning in the far northeast.

His mind went blank instantly, Shi Hen leaped down from the rooftop, his figure soaring through the air like a bird, landing in a small grove of trees in the blink of an eye.

"So that's where it was. No wonder I was awakened by the shockwaves of the Third Honkai Outbreak."

Looking up at the teaching building still in sight, Shi Hen immediately understood.

This near-zero distance was almost a direct confrontation with the impact of the Third Honkai Outbreak, which explains why Kallen's seal failed.

Of course, the passage of five hundred years was also a major reason for the destruction of the seal.

Undoubtedly, the thing that could make the boy take it so seriously was a certain fox Miko.

A Herrscher who survived from Previous Civilization, and a Divine Key weapon nearing completion—it's worth all the effort he's put into this.

However, although he was very interested in everything he was about to face, Shi Hen was not in a hurry to open the space. Instead, he patiently observed the seal in front of him.

The Saintess of Schicksal from five hundred years ago was a formidable figure even by today's standards, and the seal she left behind is still quite valuable for reference.

Shi Hen white light enveloped his fingertips, which gently landed on a large tree in front of him. The brown bark quickly rippled like water, as if there were some invisible barrier there.

"So that's how it is. The power of the Divine Key can be used in this way."

Feeling the feedback from his fingertips, Shi Hen couldn't help but smile.

Even though the boy's control over Honkai Energy was already unparalleled in the world, the feeling of witnessing someone else's masterpiece was still enough to make him happy.

Throughout the long history of humankind, there have always been stars shining brightly.

"Then let me witness your power, Herrscher of Erosion."

He spoke softly, Shi Hen flick of his finger, a doorway instantly opened in front of him.

With a single step forward, the boy's figure disappeared directly into it without the slightest hesitation.

As the Shi Hen entered, the portal closed, and a white light shone, revealing a flower shape that flashed through the air.

Now that he knew the details of Kallen's sealing, how could the boy possibly do nothing?

With this layer of reinforcement, it will be very difficult for others to enter this place.

Of course, it's also much more difficult for those inside to escape.

Even though the Herrscher of Erosion should have lost most of its abilities by now and can no longer sneak into the network as a virus, it's always better to be cautious. Who can guarantee that there won't be any accidents?

Upon entering the Stigmata Space, Shi Hen was immediately confronted with a vast and boundless darkness. At the same time, a force was constantly attempting to invade his body, causing his white hair to gradually turn black and shorter.

"Are you trying to seal away my power?"

Sensing this aura that was so similar to the Key of Binding, Shi Hen immediately understood the Herrscher of Erosion's intention.

Kallen mixed Judah's power into Yae Sakura's Stigmata to seal the Miko.

During these five hundred years of symbiosis, the Herrscher of Erosion has clearly learned how to utilize this power.

Truly worthy of being called the Herrscher of Corruption.

"That's interesting."

With a slight smile, Shi Hen took the initiative to cooperate with the other party, continuously compressing and restraining the power within his body.

After all, the binding force within this Stigmata Space alone is not enough to suppress him.

Shi Hen didn't want to scare the other person before they even met.

At least, we should leave this Herrscher of Erosion some hope.

His waist-length white hair turned back into short black hair, and the mask on the boy's face disappeared, revealing a slightly pale and youthful face.

The next second, a feeling of weightlessness came from beneath his feet, and the scene around Shi Hen shattered instantly.

Chapter 107 The Miko with the Demon Blade

For a moment, he felt Shi Hen came to his senses, he found himself in a mountain forest.

The forest is lush and green, and insects and birds chirp and sing, making this place full of life.

Is it near Yae Village?

As he looked around, Shi Hen began to speculate.

The Stigmata Space is somewhat similar to the Elysian Realm, because both are constructed from memories and cognition.

In this Stigmata Space belonging to Yae Sakura, naturally nothing beyond her comprehension would appear.

Thinking this, Shi Hen's gaze fell on a small blade of grass three meters away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

That was a plant he had seen in the Elysian Realm, which should not exist in this era.

Clearly, this space no longer belongs solely to Yae Sakura.

Memories from another person have also seeped into this space.

If that's the case, then perhaps he also...

With a flick of his thumb, Shi Hen sent a coin flying high into the air, as if it had always been in the boy's hand.

It seems that even though the use of Honkai Energy was suppressed, his memories and spirit remained unaffected.

Nodding slightly, Shi Hen walked along a barely perceptible, rugged mountain path.

He needs to be more proactive to give the Herrscher of Erosion an opportunity to act.

"Roar!"

Sure enough, before the boy had gone far, a brown bear with red stripes all over its body roared and leaped out, with two dark red tentacles growing from its back.

"So this is what the Honkai Beasts looked like 500 years ago."

Without a trace of fear on his face, Shi Hen simply observed the brown bear in front of him with great interest.

As pioneers of Honkai destruction of civilization, the appearance of Honkai Beasts has also changed with the development of civilization.

Before modern times, Honkai Beasts retained many animal characteristics.

But in this day and age, Honkai Beasts have completely evolved into silicon-based life forms, and the higher-ranking Honkai Beasts are even more thoroughly Honkai Energy life forms.

As if sensing the boy's offense, the brown bear bared its teeth and made a fierce expression, its two tentacles thrusting towards Shi Hen like spears.

"This is really difficult..."
