Airi Outsmarts the Herrscher of Void, the Ground Strewn with Terrifying Mess

The area had become a battlefield, littered with the corpses of Mortals and Honkai Beasts.

Among them were many humans who had died without being infected by the Honkai.

Fortunately, due to an encounter years ago, Chang Yuan no longer felt nauseous at the sight of dead bodies, though it was still somewhat difficult for him.

At that very moment, a flash of white light streaked across the sky.

The white light passed directly over Chang Yuan's head.

BOOM—!

The next moment, the massive skyscrapers collapsed in unison, not a single one left standing.

"Hey, hey, A-Yuan, is this the power of the Herrscher of Void? It's terrifying."

Airi, seeing the Herrscher of Void's power for the first time, spoke with a hint of shock.

If that attack had hit her, wouldn't she have turned into Airi/Siya?

"Well, at least we can still react. Let's go. The white light came from over there. Airi, don't worry about me during the fight later; I can handle myself."

After years of training, Chang Yuan had advanced his Inch Punch Fist Style from beginner to proficient.

Due to the Honkai, his physical abilities had also been slightly enhanced, making it no problem for him to deal with a few small, charging Honkai Beasts. However, anything stronger would be an issue.

"Tsk, sometimes I envy Old Ancestor Kevin. He can take down a Chariot-class Honkai Beast with just a baseball bat. He's so much stronger than me."

Complaints aside, the two quickly arrived at the location where the white light had appeared.

The devastation here was far worse than anywhere else.

Corpse after corpse lay as if sliced by a knife, organs scattered everywhere, and eyes staring in deathly disbelief.

"..."

Upon seeing this scene, Airi felt no disgust, only sadness and pity.

She grieved for the deaths of these people, but at the same time, she admired their courage to sacrifice themselves for humanity.

"Yuan! Be careful!"

In an instant, Airi felt a threat of death. She immediately shouted a warning and then lunged in another direction.

WHOOSH—!

A piercing sound echoed through the air. Where the two had been standing, a spear now appeared. It was the Imaginary Construct, Subspace Spear.

It was only thanks to Airi's preemptive sense of danger that they managed to avoid this spatial attack.

Rolling over, she immediately got up, nocked an arrow, and drew her bow in one fluid motion.

However, facing such an attack, the figure high above merely waved a hand, and a pure golden portal appeared before it.

As Airi's arrow entered the portal, another spatial gate opened beside her.

Seeing this, Airi immediately performed a backflip.

She easily dodged the arrow she had fired.

"Yuan, be careful. This Herrscher is really troublesome."

Airi had lost her initial composure.

All that remained was a constant state of tension.

Facing an enemy with spatial abilities, such unpredictable power made it difficult for her to find an opening to attack.

"Got it."

As he spoke, Chang Yuan punched and took down a Mortal that had approached him.

At the same time, his gaze remained fixed on the Herrscher of Void.

He noticed that every attack from the Herrscher of Void had a clear wind-up.

Therefore, dodging her attacks was simple.

He believed Airi had also noticed this.

However, both of them tacitly kept quiet. After all, no one could be sure if Herrschers possessed their own consciousness.

If they did, speaking out would be asking for trouble.

If the Herrscher of Void then attacked without a wind-up, they would be the ones suffering.

Following this, Airi began to circle around the Herrscher of Void continuously.

She also fired a few arrows intermittently.

Facing such an annoying pest, the Herrscher of Void couldn't stand it any longer. It opened a spatial gate and instantly attacked Airi at point-blank range.

Seeing such an obvious wind-up, Airi immediately leaped up, spun backward, drew her bowstring, and fired an arrow at its back.

The next second, the Herrscher of Void appeared exactly where she had fired.

THWACK—!

The arrow firmly embedded itself in the Herrscher of Void's body.

However, in the end, it only left a shallow wound, similar to a scratch from an accident.

You have to understand that Airi was using a compound bow, and at such close range, she could easily pierce through a car door.

But when it hit the Herrscher of Void, it only created a wound about the size of a graze.

However, facing these people, it was the Herrscher of Void's first time being injured, and in that instant, it caused the Herrscher of Void to become somewhat dazed.

Seizing this opportunity, Airi quickly fired a second arrow.

This time, her target was its eyes. For 99.99% of creatures, the eyes are the most vulnerable spot.

However, the Herrscher of Void had gotten smarter this time. Once it recovered, it immediately opened a spatial gate in front of itself, deflecting the arrow.

Sensing the danger, Airi dodged to the side.

The next moment, an arrow grazed past Airi.

Afterward, the Herrscher of Void knew it couldn't engage in close combat with Airi anymore, so it immediately teleported her to high altitude again with a spatial gate.

Seeing this, Airi couldn't help but get a headache.

At that distance, even if the Herrscher of Void hadn't dodged, this arrow hitting it probably wouldn't even cause a wound.

Seeing how difficult the situation was for Airi, Chang Yuan fell into thought.

The original plot didn't mention what happened here. Could it be that this battle was actually very fierce?

However, in just a moment, Chang Yuan thought of a method that was both risky and had a high success rate.

Facing the sky, Chang Yuan cupped his hands around his mouth like a megaphone and shouted, "Hey, you moth flying up there, get down here! I'll take your life!"

Chang Yuan did this because he wanted to test if these Herrschers had enough self-will.

If they did, then the next plan would be simple.

If they didn't, then his plan wouldn't be able to be carried out.

And it seemed fate had chosen to stand with Chang Yuan this time.

Upon hearing Chang Yuan's shout, the Herrscher of Void immediately materialized a ribbon and swung it at Chang Yuan.

Seeing this, Chang Yuan immediately dropped to the ground.

Like a white light before, the surrounding buildings were perfectly sliced and collapsed.

After dodging the first attack, there were second and third attacks.

However, due to his martial arts background, Chang Yuan was able to anticipate the spatial cuts and dodge them.

Seeing his killing moves being dodged one after another, the Herrscher of Void immediately decided to use the same method it used against Airi to deal with Chang Yuan.
