What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

Zhao Si subconsciously avoided the question, but at the last moment, he couldn't avoid it.

So Zhao Si shouted:

"Cirin! You promised me, didn't you? After you pushed the meteorite away, you could only target me!"

The complexity of the power prevented Zhao Si's voice from traveling through the air, but Xilin still heard it.

In an instant, Zhao Si noticed a look of surprise on Xilin's face. She subconsciously stretched out her hands, then immediately withdrew them, curling up like a fetus.

"Didn't I keep this promise? Why are you joining forces with those hypocritical humans to fight me? Isn't that breaking your promise?"

Two DE-armored armors acted as anchors, fixing the torn passage. Phoenix's entire psycho-frame emitted a bright blue light, confining the overflowing Honkai energy within a specific range.

But this was not Zhao Si's power alone. Almost one with Phoenix, he discovered that there were two objects falling on the mental framework.

The other one is Celine, who is standing in front of me.

"Are you going to take Phoenix away again, like before, Sirin!"

"What's wrong with you? Is it possessiveness? Why? Why can't you see me at all!"

"Who would think that about you! Don't think too highly of yourself!"

Phoenix stretched out his right arm toward Sirin with all his might, but the I-field could not stop the Honkai energy that grew thicker and thicker the deeper it went, and scratches and damage began to appear on the outer armor of his entire arm.

Even though Zhao Si was already suffering from a splitting headache and bloodshot eyes, squeezing out the last of his body's potential, Phoenix's right hand could only stay ten meters in front of Xilin, unable to advance an inch.

At this time, from the outside perspective, this disaster, which was enough to pollute the entire Eurasian continent, was still confined to a radius of 300 meters.

But no one dares to deny that if things get out of control, even the A-rank Valkyries of the Snow Wolf Squad will have a very high probability of becoming suicide soldiers.

However, the two trapped in the eye of the storm continued their struggle. The burst of Honkai energy had already propelled them to a height of three thousand meters, but the two were completely unaware of it.

Xilin moved forward proactively, as if to entice Zhao Si, and floated three meters directly above Phoenix's palm.

However, they couldn't catch it. Phoenix's psycho-framework was restricted by the more powerful NT ability. At this moment, after Sirin actively resonated with it, Phoenix had become the two of them.

The next moment, Xilin landed in Phoenix's palm. Zhao Si wanted to immediately control Phoenix to clench his fist, but he couldn't even do such a simple command.

"Then why don't you come and hug me?"

"what?"

"All he had to do was hold me and pull me away from Earth, and all of this could have been avoided."

Sirin's mental fluctuations suddenly calmed down, and she followed Phoenix's outstretched right arm, walking step by step towards the machine's shoulder.

Even after detonating all the Herrscher cores within her body, Sirin still seemed completely unaffected, her steps light and lively. Her Herrscher attire was reduced to barely covering her body, but there was no trace of embarrassment on her face.

She saw it, and Zhao Si saw it too; these familiar physical scenes had long been commonplace in the clash of minds.

"You started this war! Is your power meant for such things?!"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Why do you still fight me when we have the power to understand each other?"

"You who took someone's life can never turn back! I've persisted until now only to correct you!"

"You call me arrogant and conceited... Don't you realize that you're the one who most needs to be corrected?"

?

"Who needs to be corrected? Me? Are you kidding me..."

Zhao Si couldn't understand it. He didn't want to talk about this topic with Xilin. She always said the most unexpected things at the most unexpected times. It was the same last time, and it was the same this time. She left him speechless.

Is this what happens when an NT is stronger than another NT? If this continues, I'll end up falling behind.

At this moment, Celine had already walked to Phoenix's shoulder, and then approached Phoenix's eyes on the head, in front of the secondary monitor.

The next moment, Celine smiled at the monitor, the kind of smile that every 14-year-old girl would have:

"do I look good?"

"...I've become weaker, is it because of you?"

"Then catch me, Zhao Si."

With a smile on her face, Xilin opened her arms and fell backward, letting gravity pull her back to the ground from a height of more than three thousand meters.

As long as they simply watch the other fall, the powerless body will surely die without a burial place, and there will be no way for Zhao Si to kill it, nor will he have a life on his hands...

"Damn it! You're still as cunning as ever, Sirin!"

Zhao Si was not indifferent; Phoenix rushed towards the direction where the other party had fallen.

It wasn't about forgiveness, but rather that without the resonance between Sirin and Phoenix, only Zhao Si and the I-field formed by the mental framework were able to restrain the massive collapse caused by Sirin.

What about voluntarily choosing to die, what about repenting before death? Anyone who believes that is a dog!

"Oh dear, I'm practically begging to die, why won't you just give in to me? ☆~"

"Tsk... If that's how it is, if that's how it is!"

"Waaah!"

The Armored DE was completely torn apart in the turbulent Honkai energy, while the Phoenix Psychoframe emitted an even brighter blue light.

Celine took it all in; it was all perfectly normal for what happened next. Then, she saw the cockpit of Phoenix open, and the boy pull out the test tube inserted into his body. Residue from the stress-reducing drug and blood dripped from the tube onto Celine's face.

She dazedly stuck out her tongue and licked the mixture of liquids, but had the illusion of returning to the Tower of Babel. The same chemical agents mixed with the blood of dying test subjects flowed from the wounds, and the pungent smell of the mixture permeated the narrow space that looked like a hospital ward but was actually a prison cell.

Phoenix's psychoframe dimmed instantly after losing its pilot, while the pilot desperately reached out to the sinner:

"Sirin!"

"No, don't come any closer, don't... You, you come here quickly! Zhao Si, come and catch me, come and hug me!"

"It's that look on your face, always so eager to be loved... Don't you always say you crave love? Well then, let me give you a hug!"

"I know, I know, even if you're going to kill me after you hug me!"

Thus, in the darkness of the Siberian plains, Zhao Si's body was directly exposed to an environment of high-concentration Honkai energy. Outside the range that the I-field could not protect, his entire body was covered with ominous purplish-red patterns.

However, Zhao Si still embraced Sirin. This was the first time he had made physical contact with the Second Herrscher in front of him. No, she had already abandoned everything as a Herrscher, leaving only the sins and sorrow she had caused in this body.

"And that missile barrage."

"That was the condition you used to exchange for your survival."

And that missile barrage, the only good deed Sirin ever did.

Physical contact is different from spiritual contact. When skin touches each other, one can infer the other's true feelings and every change in the other person caused by oneself through a hazy and fragile tactile sensation.

Completely different from spiritual communion, where one entrusts their entire heart to the other, accepting love, hate, and even murderous intent without reservation.

Zhao Si and Xilin embraced and drank the blood gushing from each other's wounds. The blood of a Herrscher's perfect body was sweeter and more delicious than their own.

Perhaps this is the only time in my life I'll ever get to eat this.

"So, you're going to take me with you and be swallowed by gravity?"

Xilin asked the question, but when they were face to face, her vision was completely empty except for the boy in front of her.

"No, no, I won't let this disaster fall to the earth."

"Catch me! Phoenix!"

Phoenix, who had lost his pilot, started moving. Under the combined brainwaves of the two, he restarted his entire psycho-sensing framework and connected the two to the cockpit. The two, who had been hugging each other, immediately started fighting!

Every punch and kick was aimed at the opponent's wounds, like barbarians fighting. Zhao Si had a tense and sorrowful expression, while Xilin fought with a satisfied smile throughout.

The real world is different from the mental realm; the stronger one's will, the greater one's power.

The souls of the two in the present world are bound to their bodies. The Honkai energy eroding Phoenix's interior is suppressed again, and the light gestating within him is illuminating the dark cockpit.

After Sirin's Herrscher body detonated her Herrscher core, only her outward appearance remained, while her inner self was already like a shattered piece of porcelain.

Zhao Si's physical body is thirteen years old and 1.59 meters tall, while Xi Lin's physical body is fourteen years old and 1.55 meters tall. Just comparing their stats, Zhao Si already has the upper hand, not to mention their equally matched physical conditions—

In the end, I won!

The helmet that came with the Celestial Combat Suit was removed and thrown aside. Xilin's messy hair was spread around her face. She could feel Zhao Si's heavy breathing, blowing away every strand of hair stuck to her face.

Zhao Si straddled his abdomen, and with each breath he took, the cuts around his abdomen would move. Whenever he tried to inhale, Zhao Si, sitting above him, would stop him.

His right fist was clenched and raised high in the air, but he hesitated to bring it down.

"Yes, that's right, that's exactly how it is. That's the real you, taking everyone's sorrow upon yourself while being unable to do anything because you sense my sorrow."

"How can you be so naive? As naive as me? You're all shouting for war but then you hesitate? Is it because you've never killed anyone before?"

"...If that's what you think, then I'll grant your wish right here!"

"But I don't want you to get what you want, otherwise you'll forget me very quickly!"

Suddenly, Xilin thrust her hips upward, causing Zhao Si's punch to miss the right side of her head. If that punch had landed, Xilin would surely have been beaten to death by Zhao Si in her final moments.

But Xilin moved. She reached out and grabbed Zhao Si's collar tightly, and Zhao Si reacted immediately, seizing the opportunity to choke Xilin.

"What?! You..."

A good kiss... a good kiss is one where you're pulled by the collar and dragged away, one where you're choked and kissed until you're almost suffocating, one where both of you are covered in bruises, one where you're biting each other until you taste the blood!

“Cirin, you…”

"Snapped!"

Zhao Si was slapped by Xilin and then kissed...

Or rather, this is a kiss.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Her heart pounded like a pump, the sweet taste of the Herrscher's blood still lingered in her mouth, and her ears were ringing, but Sirin's voice remained clearly audible:

"I want you to hate me as much as I hate you."

I want you to love me as much as I love you.

"I want you to suffer when you love me, just as I suffer when I love you."

"We were already alone, we are a match made in heaven!"

Then, Celine's body stopped breathing completely. She held on to her last breath, and after closing her eyes, she completely dissipated.
